The actual rulers of Dima City were naturally the Huns and Tiele.

Doing business in the innermost ring, the high profits are enough to make anyone wake up in their sleep with a smile. But there is no such thing as a free lunch, and until the Huns and Tiele have received enough benefits, it is a luxury for anyone to want to do business in the inner ring.

Ali had been operating in Dima City for many years, and the filial piety he gave to the Xiongnu and Tiele alone was an astronomical amount. Not only him, but all the people who can appear here are begging for a living under the constraints of this rule, and no one has ever raised any objections.

First, they have no choice in the face of absolute power. Second, the rewards are enough to make them forget the pain of paying money.

In order to show respect for the rule-makers, Ali has always paid his share in full as soon as possible. At first, Tang An didn't care about it, but when he saw the number of members, he was only deeply shocked.

There were thirteen wagons in the convoy, and there were seven wagons with goods, excluding the two that were taken away by Marchand and the four that carried daily necessities and the people who were sleeping and resting. Two of the carriages, full of treasures, were gifts for the Turks and Tielers, respectively.

"There is a saying in Datang called 'take it in advance, you must give it first', and I have always agreed with it. Many people only see that those in power make no effort to accumulate wealth, but they do not realize that the word 'right' itself is their capital. Ali said with a smile.

Tang An asked: "With so many goods given to others for no reason, don't you feel distressed?" ”

Ali, who had long since adapted to the rules, handed him an unfathomable smile: "Your Excellency, the reason why I am willing to send so much wealth is only because I will get more back." Maybe you don't know the value of the Tang Dynasty's goods in the Xia Kingdom - it's something that only a true aristocrat can use! ”

Looking at the prosperous scene outside the car window, Tang An secretly thought: The Western Regions and Datang have mutual supply and demand, if Dima, including the barren land bordering Datang in the east, can be developed into a free trade zone, I don't know how many people will benefit.

First, it can create value for two countries and reduce the contradictions caused by resources; Second, the mutual exchanges between the people of the two countries can also be seen as a collision of cultures. The people of the Western Regions can learn to farm and weave, slowly develop and use their native resources, and gradually eliminate bruteness. Third, the Han and Xia people accelerated ethnic integration through intermarriage, creating a natural buffer zone.

Of course, this kind of assumption can only stay at the level of fantasy at this stage, so Tang An shook his head, threw his selfish distractions out of his mind, and said, "Tell me about the situation of the Xiongnu and Tiele." ”

Ali patiently introduced: "The Huns discovered the value of Dima City earlier than the Tiele people, so the power is greater, with about 5,000 troops. Their leader was called Huyanta, who proclaimed himself the lord of the city of Dima. Although the Tiele people came late, they had a tough style and did not buy the accounts of the Huns at all. The Huns were afraid that they would lose both sides in a fight with the Tiele people, so they let others take advantage of it in vain, so they acquiesced to the status of the Tiele people, and the two sides shared the benefits. ”

Tang Anxin understood. The Tiele people clearly saw the money and saw that the Huns had run the Dima business, and wanted to insert a bar. The barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, they don't get anything in the first place, so they are not afraid of losing at all. And the Huns had already tasted the sweetness, and they were too lazy to lose their interests for a bunch of crazy scoundrels, so they were forced to give the Tiele people a place in Dima.

The two were chatting when they suddenly felt a jolt in the carriage.

The subordinate's poor driving skills made Ali smile apologetically at Tang An, and then opened the car door with a displeased face and shouted, "What's the matter?" ”

"Young master, there are a lot of people in front, and the carriage can't pass."

"A lot of people?" Ali gave Tang An a puzzled look.

The two of them got out of the carriage together, and looked far away from the wheel, only to see two groups of brightly dressed men and horses facing each other in the middle of a group of traders.

At the front of the line, two people were muscular, with fierce faces and eyes like lightning intertwined in the air. Just look at the temperament of the two, and you know that they are the leaders of both sides.

The reason for the confrontation was clear to all: the two reached out to hold a sword at the same time, and neither of them would back down half a step, apparently because of the dispute over the ownership of the sword. The helpers in the back waited angrily, and the war seemed to be imminent.

"Ba Yegu, don't go too far, this sword is clearly the first thing Lao Tzu fancies!"

"Jechile, this sword is originally ownerless, and naturally whoever pays the highest price will go to whom. Could it be that the deputy city lord of Dima City wants to rely on his identity and pull out with me, and he can't play prestige? ”

"Don't fucking fart with Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu has endured you iron dogs for a long time! Ba Yegu, you are just a dog who relies on the name of your Nago commander to show off his power everywhere, and you are also worthy of being presumptuous in front of Lao Tzu! ”

When the strong man named Bayegu heard this, his eyes immediately turned cold, and he said with a murderous awe: "Jechil, you have to pay the price for your words and deeds - kill him for me!" ”

"Hmph, I'm really scared of you. Sons, kill this iron dog for me! ”

No one thought that the two of them would be so savage, and they would do it when they said they would do it, without any delay. With an order, the people and horses on both sides immediately fell into a scuffle, and the merchants who were setting up stalls around them rolled up their stalls and turned their heads and ran, for fear of harming the pond fish.

For a moment, the neighing of beasts, the clash of swords, and the shouts of women were mixed together, and the dense crowd was rushing like the end of the world, and the scene was chaotic to the extreme.

Arri's color changed greatly, and he ordered his subordinates to quickly turn around the carriage, and after speaking, he pulled Tang An into the carriage and said to himself bluntly.

Tang An frowned and asked, "Who are these two?" ”

"The ones in black are the Huns, and the guy in front with a meaty face is called Jechile, who is their leader, and the number two person in the entire Dima City, second only to the city lord Huyantuo. And the person in white on the other side is called Bayegu, who is the second person in Tiele. This man was narrow-minded and ruthless, and often killed people at the slightest disagreement, and the Dimas called him 'a thousand kills,' which means that no less than a thousand people died at his hands. ”

Ali explained with trepidation: "In order to compete for interests, the two sides often fight openly and secretly, but it is rare to tear your face and do it directly. According to my guess, I recently heard that the commander of Tiele, Mo Lingtu, led the army to the east, so the courage of the Tiele people has increased. ”

Outside was the incessant shouting of killing, and after listening to Ali's explanation, Tang An had a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The lost troops were found, the problem of food and clothing was solved, and the Avengers finally settled down. And the chaos in the city of Dima is like the help given to him by heaven.

Only in chaos can they have a chance to escape. How's it going... Can Dima be more chaotic?
