Chapter 10 is none other than him

Yuyang County, Yuyang County, which is now Tianjin Jixian County. To the east of Yuyang is Yanjun, Yanjun is near Liaoshui, and Liaoshui is the territory of Goguryeo to the east. In the third year of the opening of the Great Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen Yang Jian decreed that Yuyang, Yan, and all counties should be abolished as counties and placed under the jurisdiction of Youzhou. In the third year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang Guang of the Great Cause changed these two places to counties again, and the emperor and his son were willing to toss, whether it was a county or a county, it was no big deal.

Yuyang County is a semi-military city, because it is close to the border fortress, the county soldiers of Yuyang are equal to the border army, so the number of weapons and equipment and personnel is much stronger than the ordinary county soldiers. Yuyang has 4,000 soldiers, in addition to the responsibility of defending the city, they also have to inspect the North Great Wall. The leader of the troops is Yuyang Juncheng, surnamed Cui, named Huan, and the word Liaoyuan.

Cui Huan still has a very good set of military training, it is said that he was a pro-soldier of Yang Su, the Duke of Chu, when the Great Sui was attacking Chen. In other words, it is a person who has a hard relationship in the imperial court, although Yang Su, the Duke of Chu, died of illness in the second year of the Great Cause, but there is no doubt that his influence is still very great. Yang Xuangan, the son of Yang Su, is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and is deeply loved by Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Cause. Therefore, Pei Yan, the Shou of Yuyang County, also respects Cui Huan, although he has a higher position than Cui Huan.

At the gate of Yuyang County, there are many merchants who come in and out. Many merchants from all over the country chose to go out of the customs from Yuyang and trade with the tribes of the Xi people. There are also many visitors from Liaodong who come to Yuyang to sell medicinal materials, so there are dragons and snakes in Yuyang City, and everyone has them. Especially after Yang Guang announced in the name of the Holy Khan that all guests entering the Great Sui would be free of charge for wine and food, the foreigners in Yuyang City were even more arrogant and domineering than the Han Chinese.

I don't know how many restaurants and inns have closed down because of this absurd order.

Zhang Zhongjian took Li Xian, Fu Hunu, Chen Que'er, Luo Tie, and a group of five people pretended to be merchants and entered Yuyang County, Li Xian was not the first time to come near the border pass, and he had lived in Yanshan for a period of time, so he was not curious about those curly-haired and blue-eyed foreigners. What's more, in his last life, he still admired men like Schwarzenegger and Stallone, and he also had fantasies about beauties like Megan Fox.

After paying taxes and silver to enter the city, Li Xian couldn't help but think that foreigners were all free, but his own people had to pay all kinds of taxes, how big was the trade deficit of the Great Sui?

However, he is also blindly worried that everything of the Han people is marketable on the grassland, especially Shu brocade and iron tools. You must know that on the grassland, the grassland people love Shu brocade the most, the color is bright and thick, and the merchants can exchange silver horns and jade from the grassland people at several times the price. If you use an iron pot as a dowry, you can marry a beautiful woman like flowers and jade, and the woman's family has to be so tall that she can't sleep.

There was once a lucky merchant who brought some paper to the tribe of the Sultans. His companions laughed at him all the way, the paper is not easy to transport, it is easy to break, and there are few grassland people who can write, why do you want paper. As a result, after arriving at the Xiren tribe, who would have thought that the wife of the leader of the Xiren would be a woman from a Han family, and when she heard that there were pen, ink and paper, she immediately sent someone to exchange the paper, pen and ink with a small bag of silverware, and her jaw dropped in shock.

Choosing an inn, Zhang Zhongjian said to Li Xian: "I won't let you come, you want to come with you, Luo and I will go out to explore the way, you just wait in the inn." ”

Li Xian pouted and said, "Master wants to take me to Weak Luoshui to find the meteorite to make the long knife, and this trip may take a long time." Why don't you bring more things, you can give me some meat, and let Brother Bird accompany me to buy some necessities or something. ”

Daxi Changru accepted Li Xian as a disciple and wanted to take him to try his luck with the weak Luoshui Khitans. When Daxi Changru arrived at Qingniu Lake of the Khitan people, he once found a large piece of meteorite, which sank to the bottom of the lake because it was not easy to carry. Daxi Changru wanted to teach Li Xian the knife technique, so he remembered that the meteorite was coming. Going to take Li Xian to Qingniu Lake to find the meteorite iron to make him a long knife to take advantage of, Li Xian wanted to buy some things in Yuyang County.

Zhang Zhongjian: They are here to kill, and Li Xian does not hate killing, especially killing bad guys. But he didn't have any addiction to murder, so he didn't plan to participate in the county guard's trip in the first place.

Zhang Zhongjian's boxing is fierce and domineering, but Li Xian's body has become thinner, maybe he suffered from the cold in the snow when he was not swaddling, although he has been practicing hard all these years, but his body bones are indeed not very strong. Zhang Zhongjian's boxing skills are too domineering, and although Li Xian is much stronger than his peers now, he still can't practice that kind of inhuman boxing technique. Fortunately, Zhang Zhongjian can still teach Li Xian the bow and arrow, and fortunately, Li Xian also has a Red Buddha aunt who has endless small means.

"You just accompany him, the county guard and me and the tiger slave, Luo Tie the three of them are enough."

Zhang Zhongjian said to Chen Que'er.

Chen Qi'er nodded, the three people who were the most capable of fighting in Tiefutu went to find trouble with Pei Yan, and they really didn't need to follow him anymore. Besides, there are brothers who went into the city to explore the way before, so there is no need to worry about Zhang Zhongjian and them. However, for Li Xian to travel far away, Chen Que'er was really a little reluctant.

Zhang Zhongjian turned around to leave, but Chen Qi'er pulled him and said, "Big brother, you forgot something." ”

Zhang Zhongjian frowned and said, "What else is going on?" ”

Chen Que'er stretched out her hand: "Give money!" ”

Zhang Zhongjian glared at him and said, "You didn't?" ”

Chen Qi'er said seriously: "I have it, but that's mine...... I'm still useful! ”

Zhang Zhongjian took out a bag of broken silver from his arms and threw it on Chen Qi'er: "I don't think I will call you a bird in the future, just call it a rooster!" ”

The common currency of the Great Sui was five baht coins and silk cloth, although silver was rarely in circulation, it was hard surname currency, and it was more convenient to carry silver than five baht coins. If you go out with dozens of dollars, you have to push a cart. The five-baht coins minted during the Kaihuang period of the Great Sui Dynasty were sufficient, and the copper quality was good, weighing four catties and two taels per thousand coins. Emperor Wen Yang Jian once strictly ordered each to close a hundred coins as a sample, and all copper coins that did not meet the standards were destroyed and re-minted. However, when it came to Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Cause, although the minted five-baht coin remained unchanged in weight, it was mixed with a large amount of tin and lead, and the people used to call it white money. One tael of silver can be exchanged for a thousand pieces of meat, and if it is exchanged for white money, it can be exchanged for at least 1,600 pieces.

If this bag of loose silver is exchanged for meat, it really needs to be pushed by a cart.

Fu Hunu also took out a bag of silver from his arms and stuffed it to Li Xian and said, "I don't have time to buy gifts for you, you can buy whatever you want." ”

Li Xian smiled: "Brother Hunu is mighty. ”

Luo Jian was only twenty-five years old, and he was used to saving money in a big way. He took out a gold leaf from his arms and handed it to Li Xian and said, "This is for you, it's enough to change a few beautiful outfits." ”

Li Xian didn't dare to accept it: "Thirty-seventh brother, this can't be accepted!" ”

Li Xian knew that Luo Lian looked down on money, how much he spent, but this gold leaf was kept all the time. This was given to him by Luo Lian's mother before she died, so that he could make a dowry for her daughter-in-law who would come to the door in the future.

Luo Jian smiled and said: "After all, it is something outside the body, people like us, where is there a woman who is willing to marry, licking blood on the head of the knife all day long, and besides, I have never planned to marry a daughter-in-law, it is a scourge to others." If you don't want to spend it, keep it. Just when I give you an apprenticeship gift, don't embarrass Brother Thirty-Seven! ”

Li Xian called Luo Tie the thirty-seventh brother because Luo Tie was thirty-seventh in the Tiefu Tu.

Zhang Zhongjian said: "Luo Tie is for you, just keep it." He is right, Daxi Changru is a master of swordsmanship, don't worship a famous teacher but can't practice his skills, and lose our Tiefutu people! ”

Li Xian nodded heavily.

After Zhang Zhongjian and the three left, Li Xian squinted at Chen Que'er and said, "Brother Little Bird, what gift are you going to give me?" ”

Chen Que'er smiled mysteriously and said, "Do you really think that your little bird brother is an iron rooster who can't pull out a hair?" You would never have imagined a gift for you! Let's go, take you out for a walk! ”

The two of them walked out of the inn and wandered on the street, Chen Que'er muttered while looking around: "Why is this place so poor, there is not even a decent family." Xiaoxian, you just passed the eleventh birthday a few days ago, right, this parting gift can be regarded as a birthday gift for you. By the way, what is the table character that Daxi Changru gave you? ”

Li Xian smiled awkwardly and said helplessly: "Wukong......"

Chen Qi'er didn't pay attention to Li Xian's expression, and asked while looking for a target: "Wukong, it's good, why did you react so much at that time." ”

Li Xianxin said Can I explain clearly?

"Li Wukong, it's very good, it's very good, anyway, I can't think of such a meaningful word."

Li Xian sighed in his heart, there is a meaning of a fart? It's been a long, long time that the word Wukong has only one meaning.

Li Xian desperately opposed it at that time and resolutely demanded to change two words. Daxi Changru was also surprised, and didn't understand why Li Xian was so disgusted with the word Wukong. Annoyed by the Red Buddha, she grabbed Li Xian's ear and said, "Elder Ci, don't excuse me, is your child beaten again?" Don't thank your master for giving you the watchword! ”

Li Xian was pressed to his knees, then gritted his teeth and said, "Wukong, thank Master, let's go to Gao Laozhuang and Liusha River now." ”

Of course, everyone but himself thought he was going crazy.

Li Xian comforted himself, endure it, admit it, it's not Wu Neng after all.

"Brother Little Bird, where are you going to take me?"

Li Xian asked.

Chen Qi'er smiled and said, "You'll know when you get to the place." ”

As he was talking, he suddenly heard an exclamation not far away: "What a peugeot boy!" ”

After sighing with emotion, the man said again: "Sister, haven't you always been curious about what Sichang looks like?" Brother Wei told you that when Sichang was young, compared to the young man over there, although he was slightly insufficient, it was almost the same. ”

Li Xian was furious, and said in his heart that there was such a blatant discussion of people's faces on the street, could it be that I was a hair salon girl? He turned his head to look at where the voice had come from, but saw a young man in a brocade robe, about twenty years old, looking at him. The man was of medium stature, very well-proportioned, dressed in a sky blue brocade robe, with a clean face and a very cheerful look. There was also a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl standing beside the man, wearing a goose-yellow dress, like a hibiscus out of the water. The girl had bright eyes and bright teeth, and was looking at Li Xian curiously.

Seeing that Li Xian's expression was a little unkind, the young man bowed slightly and said: "Little brother, don't be strange, this Yuyang City is full of hateful faces, it is rare to see a handsome young man like Little Brother, who has lost his temper for a while, please do a lot of Haihan." ”

The man's smile was sincere, and there was no banter in his eyes, so Li Xian was not good at attacking. People praise him for being beautiful, can he still scold?

Returning a salute to the man, Li Xian glanced at the beautiful girl again, and said in his heart that the girl of the thirteenth and fourteenth is really a "flower bone", small, too small.

Li Xian turned to leave, and heard the man say softly: "It's quite polite, I think he is also from a big family, but look at his dress...... I'm afraid it's also a pity. ”

Li Xianqi, he was just about to turn around and scold, when he suddenly saw a middle-aged man who was thin but imposing and walked over, and the young man and the girl like a flower hurriedly saluted: "Father." ”

The middle-aged man said with a straight face, "Bishamen, why did you take your sister out of the car?" ”

The young man hurriedly said, "The child knows that he is wrong. ”

The girl explained to the middle-aged man, "Father, don't blame my brother, I begged my brother to take me out of the car to get some air." ”

The middle-aged man sighed: "I have come all the way here, and I have really worked hard and depressed. Get in the car, we still have to hurry, and your mother is still waiting for you to go back. ”

"Father, how far is it from Huaiyuan Town?"

The young man asked as he walked.

"It's going to be a few days away."

Watching those people gradually walk away, Li Xian's brows furrowed involuntarily. He touched his chin and stared at the middle-aged man's back and muttered to himself, "Bishamen? Huaiyuan Town? Could it be him? ”
