The spring Susa is beautiful, with the aroma of wine wafting everywhere; Walking on the cobblestone streets, looking at the various buildings full of exotic styles, Ying Si suddenly relaxed.

In his opinion, compared with the boxy architecture of the Qin State, the architecture of Persia is more ornate and changeable and does not make people feel oppressive, and the beautiful female slaves who mingle in the wine shops and restaurants make his eyes shine. Cao'er little aunt's original ~ taste sweat towel can't be obtained, how can such a clean little aunt leave a summer sweat towel without washing? These exotic beauties also seem to be good, and the kind of veils used to half-cover the powder face are fragrant.

Bai Dong and his entourage did not enter Susa City, but stopped at the Bai Family Money Village on the outskirts of Susa; Nowadays, the Bai family's money has spread all over the major provinces of Persia, except for the market in Africa, which has not yet been developed, and it can be said that it is blooming everywhere. Bitter wine specially set the rules, the Bai family trading company entered the city, but the money village was mostly on the outskirts of the city, this is for convenience, after all, the money village has to hoard a large amount of silver, copper and iron, and the treasury of each money village is as heavily guarded as a fortress, and the Bai family Jingzhuang and the old Qin soldiers who are in charge of security work need a relatively closed environment, and if it is built in the city, there are many inconveniences.

Walking into the fortress-like strict Baijia Money Village, Ying Si was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him, in addition to the street side of the Bai Family Money Village is a free and open silver house money cabinet, the back of the money bank is completely enclosed by a high wall, there is a daughter wall on the wall, there are guards holding the bow, and even there are huge rolling wood and thunder stones that can only be seen at the head of Liyang City, the two zhang wide moat is rippling, the suspension bridge in front of the village is usually hung high, and there are silver cars coming and going. will be put down after the strict examination of the keeper.

Most of the people who protect the village are the elite of the Bai family and the soldiers of the Qin State. However, the outermost part of the country are some high-nosed and deep-eyed Persians. There are even dark-skinned people, Ying Si asked Bai Dong very curiously, only to know that these black-skinned people are all from a distant place called Africa, they are originally lowly slaves like those Persians, it is the Bai family that gives them enough food and dignity to be human beings, they are now as loyal as the Bai family, if anyone dares to be unfavorable to the Bai family, they will not hesitate to rush forward and fight hard!

There were a total of thirty silver cars brought by Bai Dong. Soon he was counted and sent to the warehouse by the money bank's guys, but Ying Si didn't want to follow the Taifu to the money village so soon, he was more interested in the silver cabinet on the street; I watched a lot of Persians come in and out from here, some of them came in with a fluttering paper ticket, and exchanged for a large bag of silver and copper coins, and some brought in a large bag of coins, but in the end they just took a paper ticket and left, and sometimes there were gorgeously dressed Persians who brought a few carts of copper and iron coins, only to exchange them for half a cart or a cart of silver coins, which were common in later generations, but the exchange of tickets and currencies was such a magical thing in his eyes.

Little Aunt Cao'er had already jumped out of the car and walked into the silver cabinet facing the street under the protection of several Bai family guards. From a distance, the little aunt also held a thin book in her hand. It seems to be remembering something, and sometimes frowning and thinking for a while, and it seems to be extremely serious.

"You want to go to the silver cabinet and have a look, don't you? Then go, wait for you in the village for the teacher, this is also the first question for the teacher to test you, give you three quarters of an hour to find the real purpose of the establishment of the Bai family money village in Persia, don't mention it again in terms of access and exchange, I believe that Du Sikong has not less to remind you, you have to discover the real secret! ”

Bai Dong smiled and patted Ying Si's head, and then walked into the money village by himself. This money bank established in Susa is not as simple as it seems on the surface, it is a secret stronghold established by the Bai family in Persia, and he came to Persia this time, he did not go to Abu Hassan, let alone meet Mojina's goblin, just to maintain enough neutrality between the two 'Chinese puppet army groups'. Now Lao Qin does not have enough energy to completely control Persia, and the most effective method is to check and balance.

This money village is very different from other places, after Bai Dong walked in, someone blew the horn, and hundreds of voices shouted: "Welcome to the master!" ”

Li Di raised his eyebrows, and looked at the guardian who appeared on the wall of the village with some surprise.

He has not been to the Bai family's money village in Liyang, and naturally knows that most of the guards in the village are brave and powerful people, and even the elite guards sent by the old Qin government, but they are just common fierce men, but they are not as many as the guardians in this money village have the spirit of a ranger, only a small part of these guardians are old Qin's soldiers, most of them are rangers with short swords at their waists, and they are murderous rangers, and they are also the most terrible dead soldiers, which are also very different from the temperament of people in the army.

"Is this the Bai family's money village or the Mo family's fundamental land? How can there be so many dead people? ”

Li Di's face changed, knowing that this was Bai Dong's territory, but he still raised his vigilance.

"Hehe, Brother Li has good eyesight. Among these guards are the dead soldiers of the Bai family trained by Sang Wazi, and there are even masters recruited from the rangers, all of whom are loyal people who can die for the Bai family. ”

"This is strange, the dead soldiers trained by Sang Wazi were originally from the Bai family, and it is not strange that they can die for the Bai family, but these rangers may not all be righteous men like that, can you trust them?"

"Assassins are also scholars, and what they seek is nothing more than fame and wealth, and they are dedicated to seeking a man who does not hesitate to kill his wife and children, but the name of the assassin can be greater than my Bai family's opening of Western commerce? In addition, I also let the bitter wine set the rules, these dead soldiers all have high salaries, if they sacrifice their lives for my Bai family, their family members and children can also get a share of the Bai family, if there is no family, the Bai family should set up a 'Ranger Biography' for it, printed into a book, and spread it to future generations! ”

"You want to write a biography for the Ranger?"

Li Di listened leisurely: "Can the ranger also be listed in history?" ”

"Why not? If there are as many generous and mournful people as there are among the rangers, if they are not qualified to be published, even less are those who are above the court. Sooner or later, I will let the Ranger Column spread all over the world, and heroes like Brother Li should be on it! ”

"Really! If this is the case, Li Di's current Tianxia Xia Er has thanked Baizi! ”

What emperor is a noble and noble Qin hero, Li Di is first of all a ranger; Even in the old Qin court, he never forgot that he was born as a ranger, no matter how the political scene of the Qin State changed, he was transcendent and independent, which even Fan Bo may not be able to match.

"Actually, I don't need Brother Li to thank me, I won't suffer if I do this"

Bai Dong glanced at the ranger standing on the wall of the village, and smiled lightly: "The reward I get for this is definitely beyond the calculations of many people, but these people don't know it." ”

***

The Baijia Qian Village has the most beautiful slave girls, the most mellow wine, and the most tender veal. Watching the slender slave girls flutter like butterflies in front of a kind of pan, and some of the meat that had been cut into slices was fried to a tempting aroma, Ying Si's eyes widened again.

It's beef! Even if he is the eldest prince of the Qin State, he does not have the courage to eat beef in the Qin State, and it is not as simple as spanking when Wei Ying knows, the person who kills the cow must pay for his life! The old dead beef has been eaten a few times, and the taste is astringent and fishy, even worse than the 'drowned' pigs in Taifu's house.

Li Di and Bai Dong had already started eating, and Cao'er's little aunt was also happily tasting this delicacy. Ying Si waited for a long time, but found that the slave girls who were in charge of serving the meat ignored him at all, licked his lips unconsciously, and said with a smile: "Taifu, the oil here is so good, I don't see smoke coming out." My mother once cooked fried sheep's tail for me to eat, and there was a lot of smoke when the oil was in the pot, and I felt most sorry for my mother, and since that time, she was not allowed to cook for me."

"Hmm." Bai Dong looked at him and didn't speak.

"Uh, Taifu, what kind of oil is this? The beef made from it must be very delicious, right? Ying Si asked questions like a curious baby, and usually the other party would let himself taste it himself in this case.

"This is called olive oil, it was sent by General Pang Juan, this oil is thin and not thick, and it is the best match for frying steak."

Bai Dong ordered the silver plate in front of him, and immediately a slave girl sent a steak fried into seven ripe steaks: "This kind of meal was also invented by your Taifu and me, and it has been popularized in Persia and will be transmitted to the West in the future." Boy, remember, dishes like steak and wine combined with tableware made of silver are the food of the Western aristocracy, and it won't be long before a wave blows along the Mediterranean coast. Still can't figure it out? I'll give you another half a moment, and if you still can't think of a reason, I'll punish you for not having a steak to eat today! (To be continued.) )
