At the top of Lao Yashan Mountain, the morning sun rises, and the snow reflects the golden light.

In the dense forest at the back of the mountaintop, more than 100 people in thin clothes were busy there, and huge trees were cut down to remove miscellaneous branches. These are the young people in the cottage, the oldest being no more than twenty years old. After they were selected by the big boss, they were happy in their hearts, but they didn't expect the big boss to call them as laborers, and they were called up to work before dawn every day, and they were busy until the evening before they had the opportunity to rest, and even the bone frame was about to disperse, but fortunately, the daily food was not bad, and the fat beef and mutton were full of oil.

Most of the subordinates selected by Zhai Zhe himself were born as herdsmen, and there was no need for any old horse thieves who had been in the grassland for many years. The young people in the cottage were all taken into his pocket, and he only let them cut down trees and get water every day, with little stopping. The daily affairs were fully arranged, and Wang Yi and Che Feng tossed them in a different way.

Almost all of the old horse thieves in the cottage belong to Xiao Zhiyan, whether they are from the Duoyan Grassland or they are already killing Hukou.

After being in the horse thief's den for so long, Zhai Zhe can be regarded as understanding the temperament of these people, and the old horse thief is not something he can control. The old horse thieves are extremely slippery, they can take refuge in the Diamond Eagle today, and they can also take refuge in him Zhai Zhe tomorrow, these people have already learned to see the wind and steer in countless choices of life and life, to protect themselves, no wonder Xiao Zhiyan said that the horse thief could not be counted on to fight a tough battle. Xiao Zhiyan is frank and righteous, and he has no shelf, he drinks and talks nonsense, and he is the only one in the cottage who has the ability to tame these people.

It's still winter, and the land freezes.

For most of the horse thieves on Raven Mountain, they have just changed their bosses, and the days are not too different from the past, only Xiao Zhiyan takes people in and out every day.

After setting up the village, Zhai Zhe handed over all the patrol posts on the periphery of Liangcheng to him, after all, he had been in this grassland for seven or eight years, and Xiao Zhiyan was the only person Zhai Zhe could trust and trust in the cottage. The wind is too tender, Meng Kang is okay to fight, to say that the scout's kung fu is not a little worse.

Xiao Zhiyan took dozens of people down the mountain early in the morning every day to walk around the junction of Helinger and Liangcheng to observe the terrain for several days in a row.

Four or five days later, the day before the Lantern Festival.

When the sun set, Xiao Zhiyan led dozens of horses to rush back like a whirlwind, and when he entered the cottage, Zhai Zhe came out to greet him, and saw that he also had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead in winter, and he knew that he had been busy all day.

"What's going on, I'm going to enter tomorrow!"

"It's all mountains! Basically, it's almost all over. Xiao Zhiyan exhaled, and then said: "I have set up five fixed secret posts and three patrol routes, which should ensure that someone enters in time!" Fortunately, the brothers are familiar with this terrain. ”

"So I'm relieved!" Zhai Zhe looked a little thoughtful.

"Are you worried about the caravan?" Xiao Zhiyan smacked his lips, shook his head, and said, "I never saw that you had such guts, and all the goods of tens of thousands of taels of silver were handed over to a stranger. ”

"Was I very timid before?" Zhai Zhe couldn't help laughing.

"Not small, at least bigger than me!"

"I'm not afraid of Ning Sheng's tricks, this can be regarded as a test for him." Zhai Zhe's brows arched again, and he said, "The business name is very important, if he is not trustworthy, I would rather suffer this loss!" ”

Zhai Zhe was not worried about the caravan, he still had the letter of Ombu Khan in his hand, which was his killer weapon, but he didn't want to use the names of the merchants that Ombu Khan was familiar with. Born a merchant, he knows those people thoroughly, there are two kinds of people in this world who are the most unreliable, prostitutes and merchants, profitable and everything can be sold. He had to find someone he could trust to run the caravan.

Xiao Zhiyan's words \u

8d77 showed a familiar smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't worry, I can't get out of the mess in the cottage." ”

The second day, the Lantern Festival, is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

There is a saying among the people that after fifteen days, it will be bitter. It means that after the Lantern Festival, the Spring Festival is completely over. Hunting in the mountains and working in the fields should be hard for a year's livelihood.

On the mountain road outside the Hukou, more than a dozen fast horses galloped along the mountain road.

Even though Zhai Zhe was very confident in Ning Sheng, he was inevitably a little uneasy in his heart at this time.

Passing through the canyon, the steep pass was in front of him, Zhai Zhe reined in the big black horse and swirled under the city wall, shouting: "We are the companions of the caravan that entered the customs the day before yesterday, and I bother you officials to let us enter the customs!" ”

The officers and soldiers on watch did not dare to call the shots, and went to inform Zhang Guang of the garrison.

The Lantern Festival is the appointed day, Ning Sheng rushed to the garrison mansion early in the morning to meet Zhang Guang, with the silver in his hand, it is convenient to speak and do things.

In the past few days, with the help of Liu Quan, Ning Sheng spent five hundred taels of silver to find a remote place and buy a shop, which can be regarded as settling himself down, and he also has a part in the mouth of this killing. There have been several left-behind shopkeepers who have come to the door to convey the meaning of the owner, and they will come to visit the collection after the Lantern Festival.

A thousand taels of silver were brought in, and Zhang Guang's mouth couldn't close with a smile. Now the military salary of the Ming Dynasty has not been paid for a day, and the little money allocated by the Ministry of War has also gone to the family members of the general soldiers. The soldiers of the other guards were poor, they could not get a copper plate for several months, they could not even support their wives and children, and countless people fled from all directions, and some of them preferred to run to the grasslands to work as herdsmen for the Tumuts.

In this world, Zhang Guang can be regarded as seeing through, the general soldier of Datong is full of Gui brave and good at fighting, King Qin died in the capital a few years ago, and it is rumored that he is still dead in vain, and I heard that he was shot a few arrows by Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, and I don't know if it is true or false. In the past, when Man Gui was there, because Man Gui was a Mongol, he accounted for most of the interests of the Sai, and after Man Gui's death, the trade route was completely cut off.

Thousands of miles of officials are only for money, the business road is not passable, no one cares about the position of killing Hukou, if the trade route is open, there is no money to kill Hukou

FFOC Zhang Guang is worried that he will not be able to last long.

"The owner of your business is going to enter the customs today?" Zhang Guang twisted his beard lightly, pretending to be difficult, and said: "If the number of people is small, you can be accommodating!" ”

Ning Sheng didn't know how many people Zhai Zhe would bring into the customs, thinking that the number of people should not be too many, so he bowed and promised: "Not much, not much!" ”

The two were chatting about kung fu, and the soldiers came to report: "Someone outside the customs is asking to enter the fortress!" ”

"How many?"

"More than a dozen!"

Except for the big boss, there should be no one else, Ning Sheng gestured with his eyes and nodded slightly.

"If it's a Ming person, let it go."

The soldiers didn't expect the garrison to be so easy to talk about today.

Seeing the soldiers leaving, Ning Sheng wanted to greet Zhai Zhe, and arched his hand: "In the future, there will be caravans entering and leaving the pass, please take care of the garrison." ”

"As long as you abide by the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the caravan will come and go freely." Zhang Guang's reply was watertight. There are caravans in and out, and the gate of killing Hukou can no longer be closed, after all, there is no order from the imperial court to seal the customs, and he can't afford to offend those merchants, blocking people's money, and if someone catches the handle and reports it to the governor, it will also cause trouble.

Ning Sheng got up to say goodbye and went out to the city gate. When they were three hundred steps away from the city gate, they saw Zhai Zhe and others leading their horses in.

Ning Sheng stepped forward quickly, saluted and greeted: "Dadang," realizing that something was wrong, he immediately changed his voice and said: "Dongjia!" ”

Seeing Ning Sheng, Zhai Zhe was relieved and asked, "Is everything done?" ”

"That's it! The shop has also been purchased, but it has not yet been named. ”

"Let's go, take me to see it!"

More than a dozen people followed Ning Sheng to the newly purchased shop. Although the location is a little off, it is clean and bright, and several rooms are located neatly. Zhai Zhe was very satisfied. He didn't care about the location of the shop, which street his business was on in the future, it would be the most prosperous street, because the road outside the mouth of the killing Hu would be in his hands.

"Please also ask the owner to give him a name!" Ning Sheng was cautious.

Zhai Zhe thought about it, sighed and said: "I hope that the balance will be lowered tomorrow, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and the business of the business will be prosperous, so it will be called Pingkui!" ”

"Pingkui?" Ning Sheng read it in a low voice, feeling a little awkward, but he didn't dare to object, and flattered: "A good name from the owner!" ”
