Chapter 2 Lingzhou Fu

Lingzhou is a large county with a population of more than 10,000 households. It is very famous in Beidi County, and even in the whole Liangzhou. Its scale is much better than that of Fuping, the Beidi County Governor's Office, and the public security is even more than a few streets in Fuping.

This is the ancestral land of the Fu family.

Because of the peaceful and safe environment, it is prosperous year by year. Both merchants and ordinary people come here to do business, and are even willing to make a detour for hundreds of miles.

Li Zheng pulled the reins of the horse in his sleeve with one hand, pressed the handle of the head knife on his waist with the other hand, looked at the orderly city gate not far away, and sighed slightly in his heart.

If it weren't for what he saw and heard along the way, and the encounter of being intercepted and killed again and again, the scene in front of him would be nothing. But everything is afraid of comparison, and only with comparison can we know what is good or bad. The chaos in other places contrasts the peace here, making Lingzhou stand out from the crowd, with a feeling of golden light.

Naturally, for the Fu family who created this qiē, Li Zheng had a slight good impression in his heart.

"The Fu family's ancestral home, Wubao, is in the east of the city."

Zhang Shan on the side rubbed his hands and said, "Lingzhou has been here a few times. ”

Li Zheng nodded. Having a well-informed person around naturally saves a lot of trouble.

"Into town."

With that, he led his horse and pressed his sword, and walked slowly towards the city gate.

"Into the city?" Zhang Shan was a little confused: "Aren't you looking for Fu's?" Why are you going into the city? ”

Li Zheng looked back and smiled: "Build momentum." ”

"Momentum?"

Zhang Shan's face was full of doubts.

Li Zheng didn't explain either. Just like in that world, any product on the market must be touted and do everything possible to expand its influence. The rotten ones should be blown into good ones, and the ordinary ones should be blown into fine products.

At the very least, we have to create some 'opponents' for Fu Shi to create a competitive situation, so that we can sell at a good price, right?

Besides, Li Zheng's horse is the only one in the world!

It's too cheap to send it to the door obediently - Li Zheng believes that the initiative must always be in his own hands.

Every city of some size had a place dedicated to commercial trade. Zhang Shan said it was called 'Donyu'. Li Zheng pondered for a while, and it probably had the same meaning as Yaxing.

The formation of the puppet was either due to the needs of commercial behavior, the spontaneous gathering of merchants, or the official special establishment.

Lingzhou's puppeteers, the earliest spontaneous gathering of merchants, later by the Fu family, the official recognition, coupled with the harmonious environment here different from most other places, eventually formed the largest trade market in the northeast of Liangzhou.

Merchants, common people, Hu people, all kinds of people linger here. Furs, medicinal herbs, cattle, sheep and horses, and special commodities in the northwest of the Han Dynasty can all be found here.

After the two entered the city, they went straight to the palace and began their journey to build momentum

In this era of chaos in the world, especially in Liangzhou, a place where Hu and Han people live together, the heroes and families of some forces will build dock forts and defend themselves with the city.

Located in the east of the city, Fushiwu Fort is a large scale, which is completely a miniature version of the city. The height and thickness of the walls of this Wubao Fort even surpassed that of Lingzhou City.

On the city wall, all kinds of defensive equipment are equipped, and from time to time there are teams of stubborn guards patrolling back and forth, the atmosphere is not tense, but it is not relaxed.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and they quickly galloped towards the dock fort, attracting the attention of the patrolling guards on the city wall.

"What people!"

"It's so-and-so, Brother Niu!"

The horse's hooves approached, but it turned out to be a tall fat man in his thirties.

"It turned out to be Zhou Fei's manager! You don't take care of it, what are you doing when you go back to Dock Fort at this time? ”

"There's something important to report."

"Open the door."

Entering the dock fort, Zhou Fei turned over and dismounted, handed over the reins to the horse slave waiting aside, and his fat body was like a slider, a few brisk steps, and rushed towards the main house.

In the back hall of the main mansion of the Dock Fort, there happened to be five people discussing and arguing at this time.

These five people are the elders of the Fu clan, two of them are Fu Xie's ancestors, and the other three are their fathers.

The old man kneeling on the top had white hair and a calm face, but did not speak. The disputers were a few old men on the left and right.

"Should Nan Rong be summoned?"

The old man on the left frowned and said, "Now Han Sui is powerful, killing Bian Zhang and Beigong Boyu, supporting 100,000 troops, and attacking Hanyang. That stabbing Shi Geng is a fool again, it's hard to protect"

"Third uncle, you don't know Nanrong's temperament! At this moment, how do you ask him to disregard morality, abandon the people of Hanyang, and come back willingly? ”

"Why don't you organize a family soldier and go to Hanyang to help?"

"It's not proper, there are Huangzhong Qiang around Lingzhou, and there are Xiongnu tribes in the north, if you transfer the clan soldiers, I'm afraid the family business will not be guaranteed!"

The rest of the people were also sad and couldn't make a decision.

"Alright."

The old man at the top said in a deep voice: "Nanrong is my Fu family's Qilin'er, over the years, my Fu family has been able to get to this point, and it is absolutely impossible without Nanrong." But Nanrong's temperament, you all know that you will not be called back, you have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds! ”

Saying that, the old man paused, pondered for a moment, and said: "If you want Nanrong to leave the dangerous place of Hanyang, I won't wait until I say it, I must get an edict from the imperial court!" Why don't you send someone to Luoyang, do some work up and down, and transfer Nanrong away from Hanyang! ”

"Great goodness!"

Hearing this, the eyes of the other four people lit up at the same time, and they all felt that they were worthy of being the old family masters, and they really had the means.

"But at the beginning, Nanrong offended the regular servant Zhao Zhong, so I was afraid that this eunuch would make a bad deal out of it!"

"Yes, Nanrong Zheng Yellow Turban has made great achievements, but he was only promoted at the beginning of this year, and it is still a crisis place in Hanyang, one of which is the eunuch thief, who wants to kill Nanrong!"

"Although the eunuch is powerful, he is not single-handed. The general He Jin and the Taifu Yuan Kui may be able to help! ”

As he was talking, there was a waiter outside the door to make a report.

"All the clan elders, the steward Zhou Fei has something important to report!"

The five clan elders immediately stopped, and the old man slowly spoke: "Go and bring Zhou Fei." ”

"Whoa!"

The waiter's footsteps were far away, and after a while, the sound of chaotic footsteps became louder and louder from far and near.

"Zhou Fei, the steward of the donkey, asks to see you!"

"Come in."

After Zhou Fei pushed the door into the hall, he immediately bowed down and said, "Zhou Fei greets the clan elders." ”

"Hmm." The last old man kneeling on the left nodded, and said, "Zhou Fei, you don't watch it, why do you come back at this time?" ”

"If you go back to the old man," Zhou Fei straightened up slightly, and said, "There is a big incident in the concubine, and I have to ask you to see the clan elders." ”

"Oh? What's up? ”

Hearing this, several clan elders frowned. This kind of place, although the family needs it, but it is very low. What kind of big thing can happen in this kind of place, and it has to be solved by the clan elders?

Therefore, several clan elders were not very happy in their hearts, and felt that this week was too fat to be useful.

Zhou Fei observed his words, but he was not apprehensive. Because he knew that what he was going to say next would definitely surprise several clan bosses.

"The elder of the Hui clan, there is a dragon horse in the world!"

"What did you say, Ryoma? Ryoma?! ”

Hearing this, the faces of several clan elders quickly became surprised, and then calmed down.

Only then did the old man at the top speak: "What's going on?" ”

"Old master, at midnight this morning, a second ranger led a horse that looked like an inferior horse and a linen scarf to sell it in the house. These two were very angry, and aroused the ridicule of the merchants and common people. Unexpectedly, after the man ripped off the sackcloth around his neck, there was a circle of scale armor on the horse's neck! ”

Zhou Fei paused, and saw that the five clan elders were listening to each other, so he continued: "Or suspect that this horse scale armor is artificial, and I also touched it with my own hands, and it turned out to be true!" The two also claimed that this horse was still young, so the body frame was not obvious, and there was still a lot of room for growth, so everyone called Ryoma Linshi! ”

"Some merchants offered as much as thirty gold, but the two were indifferent, but it was difficult to keep the higher bidder. The lowly did not dare to take the initiative to buy this horse, so he immediately rushed back to the dock fort and asked to see the clan elder. ”

After listening to Zhou Fei's words, the five clan elders glanced at each other, and they all saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes!

The old master of the head held back the joy in his heart, but said: "Zhou Fei, you will go to the front hall and wait first, and we will discuss it first, and then make a conclusion." ”

"Whoa."

After Zhou Fei left, some clan elders couldn't wait to stroke their palms and laughed: "Haha, God help me Fu Shiye!" The old master, if Ryoma is true, and dedicate it to the Son of Heaven, he will definitely be able to get the edict and transfer him out of Nanrong! ”

"Exactly!"

"Hmm." The old man bowed slightly, and said, "Then what do you think, how to bid?" ”

Hearing this, the other four were all stunned.

"Someone has offered thirty gold, but the deal has not yet been reached, and I think the two of them also know the value of Ryoma. In my opinion, it is better to pay a hundred gold, how so? ”

"Maybe a hundred gold can't move his heart, I think it's better to summon him to Wubao first and discuss it in person. It also saves some trouble. ”

"That makes sense."

"That's so." The old man concluded: "Let Zhou Fei go and invite these two people to Wubao." ”

Zhou Fei got the orders of the clan elder, and did not dare to slack off, so he immediately went out of the dock fort, rode into the city, found Li Zheng and Zhang Shan, who were surrounded by many merchants, and sent out an invitation.

Hearing that it was Fu's invitation, the surrounding merchants could only retreat. Li Zheng was happy in his heart, but he just caught a big fish. Zhang Shan was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that Li Zheng's actions really attracted Fu's strong attention.

In addition to being surprised, Zhang Shan was also happy in his heart. Li Zheng promised him a high employment payment, and there should be no problem.
