The news of the retreat of the Houjin army soon spread throughout the city of Ulju, and the people who survived the disaster rejoiced.

This year's Tartars are particularly ferocious, if it weren't for Wei Yuan's words to move into the city in advance, maybe the number of casualties among the people of Ulzhou would have increased by three times!

All this is the credit of Wei Yuan!

Before the end of the month, the people of Ulzhou only knew Bai Enyuan, but did not know Wei Yuan, but now, the reputation of Wei Yuan is recited, and Bai Enyuan has gradually become a negative character.

The storyteller in the city eyebrows danced, in his mouth, Wei Yuan was loyal and courageous, Wang Teng was wise and brave, and this time the Tartars retreated because they could fight well and beat away Abatai.

……

Of course, this is not the case, but the people need a bit of comfort in their hearts, and the existence of Wei Yuan and Wang Teng greatly satisfies their need for heroes.

"Ridiculous, ignorant! What does Jiannu's retreat have to do with Wei Yuan, ignorant and disgusting! ”

Wei Yuan's reputation is skyrocketing, and the prefect Bai Enyuan is envious, he feels that he should be the protagonist in the play, but in reality he has become a reviled character.

No, we must not let Wei Yuan have a good time!

Adhering to the idea that friends of the dead Dao will not die and the poor Dao, Bai Enyuan worked hard to collect evidence and prepared to frame Wei Yuan.

However, without Hong Shiyuan's right-hand man, relying only on Bai Enyuan himself, the difficulty has obviously increased significantly.

Fortunately, the fact that Wei Yuan embezzled the treasury silver cannot be erased, otherwise Bai Enyuan would not even be able to find a suitable reason!

Dinghe Fort, the roving ranger brought back a foreigner.

At this time, it was not surprising to meet a blonde foreigner, after Marco Polo's travelogue became popular, the Far East has become a rich and magical land in the eyes of Westerners.

Red-haired Dutchmen come by water, and Arabs with white scarves cross the desert, all trying to make a fortune in the mysterious ancient country of the East.

Some people made a fortune, they made hundreds of times the profit, and it became a myth of success, however, many more people were in debt and bankrupt.

The foreigner in front of Wang Teng was obviously the latter.

At the age of about forty, he has a face that has experienced vicissitudes, and the clothes he wears are not conspicuous foreign clothes but Han clothes, obviously, this guy has been in Daming for a long time.

"Do you understand Chinese?"

For the first foreigner he met, Wang Teng was very curious.

The foreigner shook his head vigilantly.

Wang Teng smiled dumbly, "Don't pretend to be garlic, I am the owner of this castle, I have heard it, you know Chinese, otherwise, my soldiers would have killed you a long time ago."

"You can't kill me, kill me, the Jin family won't let you go"

The weird tone makes Wang Teng miss the advertisements of later generations, "Washing is healthier ......"

"Which Jin family?"

"The most powerful family in Datong"

Could it be one of the eight profiteers?

Wang Teng frowned, "You escaped?" ”

The foreigner blushed, "No."

"Then why are you so down, what country are you from?"

"I am a merchant in Jerusalem, I heard that Daming was rich, so I raised money to buy a batch of goods, who would have thought that this thing could not be sold in Daming"

Wang Teng's heart moved, "What is it?" ”

"Arquebus, you know? Guns that light up and smoke"

The bird gun is also a kind of arquebus, thinking of this, Wang Teng instructed, "Go to the blacksmith Zhang to get a fire gun and let him have a look."

"No!"

After a while, the sergeant went and returned, and he had an extra fire gun made by a blacksmith in his hand.

After rubbing it for a while, the foreigner showed a disapproving expression, "My arquebus is more powerful than this."

Businessmen always have the habit of exaggerating their own goods, Wang Teng didn't care, "What about your goods?" ”

The foreigner drooped his head and said dejectedly: "In Datong, I was detained by the Jin family."

At this time, Jerusalem was already under the control of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and it was not easy for this foreigner to wade through mountains and rivers, how could he provoke the Jin family?

Wang Teng's heart moved, "Are you in debt?" ”

The foreigner nodded slightly, "My caravan was detained not long after entering Daming, in order to buy the way, I could only borrow money everywhere, the Jin family lent me a thousand taels of silver, and all my property was exchanged for arquebuses, so I can only use them as collateral."

Wang Teng probably understood, and later it must have been the foreigner who couldn't pay the silver, so the goods were detained.

"Why didn't the Jin family kill people?"

"The Jin family wants more silver"

"How many arquebuses do you have?"

"Two hundred arquebuses, and three Furlong cannons"

"What price are you going to sell?"

"Six thousand taels of silver for guns, one hundred taels for artillery"

Thirty taels of silver for a gun, this price is simply outrageously expensive.

Wang Teng felt a pain in his flesh, "It's too expensive, no one can afford this price."

"My friend, it's not expensive, with them, the combat effectiveness of the troops can be increased a hundred times, I heard that the Tatars are invading your country, using arquebuses against them, let them see how powerful"

"Fifteen hundred taels of silver, I can afford this price"

Sullos was startled, "Are you kidding?" I'm going to lose all my money at this price."

"You're already in debt, friend"

"No, General, you already own a castle and can no longer deprive me of such a poor foreign merchant"

"Friend from Jerusalem, I am not depriving you, I am only helping you"

"Buy my arquebus for fifteen hundred taels of silver? You're robbing."

Wang Teng shrugged his shoulders, "Okay, you can continue to look for buyers who are higher than fifteen hundred taels of silver, come on, send off guests."

Sulos's eyes widened, he didn't expect Wang Teng to see his predicament.

That's right, no one cared about this batch of arquebuses, and even the Jin family felt that a thousand taels of silver was a loss, so they asked Sulos to find a buyer.

"General, four thousand taels of silver, I can guarantee that all arquebuses are new"

"No, only fifteen hundred taels, including artillery"

"You are a stingy general, three thousand taels, counting two artillery!"

Wang Teng sighed and seemed to have made a great concession, "In this way, I will send someone to inspect the goods, if the price is right, two thousand taels of silver, and there is no more than one tael."

Sullos's eyes widened, although this is not the best ending, but it is also the result that can be ended, "General, you are such a vampire, okay, deal!" As for the quality, Your Excellency General, you can rest assured that I will not travel thousands of miles with defective products."

Wang Teng was noncommittal: "Are you from Quanzhou?" ”

In my impression, Quanzhou was a transit point for Arabs.

Sullos shook his head, "I'm coming by land. ”

"The Silk Road?"

"Yes, it was this ancient trade route that led me to the point of no return"

"No, Sullos, trust me, your luck has come"
