When a guest came, it was already night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The leader of the caravan was an emaciated middle-aged man, who looked at Ning County in shock at this moment.
As early as before, seeing that the sky was dark, but there was no shop in front of the village, and when he saw that he was going to rest in the wilderness, a person said that he passed through a place in Ning County when he was doing business a few years ago, and said that it was not far away.
The leading businessman had no choice but to walk in the direction of Ningxian, who would have thought that there was a guard tower guarding the border, and the other party checked the goods and found that there were no weapons, so they were released.
Along the way, I found that the fields were barren, and at the same time, the sky was getting darker and darker, and when I arrived at the hillside outside Ningxian County, I could faintly see the rows of houses and shops in the city, and the most important thing was the smooth road.
The road is big enough for four wagons to walk side by side, which shows how wide it is!
The earth was flattened, the depressions were filled, the bricks were built, and the cement was paved, and the road was completed.
The real point is in the walls, which are so majestic and impressive that they seem to have not yet been built.
After calming down the various feelings in his heart a little, the emaciated middle-aged man led his men to the city wall, where a column of soldiers was already waiting for him.
The middle-aged man trotted over all the way, smiled and stuffed some Weizi, and then said: "We are a caravan from Liangzhou, and we have brought some brocade, bacon, sugar, and bamboo gadgets!" I hope it's convenient! ”
The soldier looked at the money in his hand in a daze, and all the other soldiers also stared at the money in the soldier's hand, and they didn't come back to their senses for a while!
The middle-aged man was immediately disdainful when he saw it, the country savage had never seen the market, and he was stunned for such a little money.
In the middle of the ring, the soldier who took the money came back to his senses and murmured, "I actually took it!" I actually took it! ”
The other soldiers immediately stepped back.
"Smack!"
The soldier who took the money threw Wei Zi in his hand to the ground and said viciously: "Take it!" He actually stuffed money, which shows that he is acting with a weak heart, and there must be some shady conspiracy! ”
"Wait!"
The soldier roared grumpyly: "What man? ”
Tang Hong walked out and said with a smile: "Me! ”
When the soldiers saw this, they all knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Meet the lord!" ”
"Up." Tang Hong waved his right hand to let all the soldiers get up, and then bent down, and the soldiers who had just gotten up hurriedly knelt down on one knee and bowed their heads to offer their respect.
Tang Hong bent down, picked up Wei Zi scattered on the ground, counted carefully, no more, no less, just ten, and suddenly showed a faint smile. With a wave of his hand, he said:
"I give you the right to see me and not to worship! Think about it, if you see me saluting and the enemy army suddenly attacked, what should you do in this Ning County? ”
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Tang Hong smiled slightly, summoned the soldier, walked in front of the caravan leader who was a little confused, turned ten Wei Zi in his palm and said:
"Your Excellency may have despised my soldiers too much, and a mere ten cents is not enough to buy a single hair of their hair, and I want to see that every finger of them is worth more than a hundred gold.
If they don't have a finger, I'm missing an elite soldier, and one or even two families may lose their livelihood. So I hope that your Excellency, next time don't use these mundane things to question their honor. ”
After Tang Hong finished speaking, he ignored the other party's reaction, turned his head and said to the soldier: "Next time, if someone stuffs money, you will accept it, and it will be regarded as my subsidy for you."
Unless someone gives out ten gold, it means that this person really has a purpose and has bad intentions, and you must take it down. ”
The soldier nodded hurriedly.
And the caravan on the side was completely speechless!
If it weren't for the identity of the other party, I'm afraid I really had to ask Tang Hong what he meant, one moment, a serious one moment asked them not to insult the honor of these soldiers with vulgar things, and the next moment, they said to their own soldiers that even if they accepted it, they would be subsidized.
Despite this, the emaciated middle-aged man who led the way automatically filtered what Tang Hong said to the soldiers, and bowed to Tang Hong: "In Zhao Yan, Xialiang Prefecture, dare to ask the son who is..."
"This is my father-in-law, the county magistrate of Ning County!" The soldiers on the side did not wait for Tang Hong's answer to exit first.
Tang Hong smiled and returned the salute: "No, Tang Hong." At this moment, it is already dark, so you might as well let the soldiers inspect the goods first, and then enter the city after inspection. ”
"Good!" Zhao Yan has no objection.
However, the man on Zhao Yan's side suddenly spoke: "Didn't we check once when we passed the guard tower? Why check now? ”
Tang Hong smiled slightly and said: "The inspection is to check the safety, this time it is to check whether the food is safe, the information of the people who enter the city, and all the blades on the people who enter the city must be left at the city gate, and then taken away when they leave the city." ”
There was nothing ahead, and when he finally heard that he was going to hand over his blade, he couldn't help but blow up, and one of the young men shouted: "What? And confiscate the blade? Shall we not let you slaughter us? ”
Tang Hong said indifferently: "You can choose not to enter the city." ”
Zhao Yan waved his hand to stop the young man's exit to refute, and he could tell that Tang Hong was not as easy to talk as they imagined. At the moment, he said: "This is good for us, it means that the security in the city is good!" ”
The group disarmed their weapons, the food was also checked, and after entering the city, Tang Hong, accompanied by him, pointed to the empty standard shops and said: "As you can see, Ning County was destroyed by the Japanese Invaders, and I have been absorbing displaced people to rebuild Ning County for three or four months, but there are still no merchants. You're the first. ”
"Three or four months? Terrible! Zhao Yan didn't believe what Tang Hong said at all, but politely agreed, and said, "Isn't there a night market here?" Looks like we'll have to trade again tomorrow! ”
Tang Hong asked, "What do you have?" ”
"Brocade, bacon, sugar, and some bamboo-woven knick-knacks!"
Tang Hong nodded and said, "I have grain, snow salt, wine, and some rare treasures, I don't know how you plan to trade?" ”
Zhao Yan's face froze, and then said with a wry smile: "Please don't tease me and others, the fields outside are barren, and the city is in ruins..."
Tang Hong didn't mind, summoned a soldier to call Chen Gong over, and after Chen Gong arrived, he bowed his hand to Zhao Yan and the others: "I'm sorry, there are still vulgar things, he will entertain you." On the public platform, you can mobilize wine, snow salt, grain and low-level treasures. ”
Tang Hong returned to his mansion, the maid brought the tea, and then rubbed Tang Hong's shoulders, Tang Hong casually flipped through the recent development of Ning County, which was half an hour later.
At this moment, Chen Gong came to the door and reported: "Lord, we exchanged ten stones of salt and five altars of immortal brew for all his goods, five stones of bacon, and a large amount of brocade, as for those bamboo utensils, I left them, and I will leave the rest of the children's playthings for free!" ”
After hearing this, Tang Hong hurriedly said, "How does bacon taste?" Does it smell fishy? ”
Chen Gong thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Not at all, it should be delicious, I'll have someone get some for the lord to taste later, and then make two sets of clothes." ”
"Good!"
"By the way, they want to buy the next store..."
