Of course, no problem, I haven't been, but you believe me right. Duan Cub saw the uncertain news that Liumao had returned, and simply replied.

Liumao wanted to ask again, but he just got a sentence that Duan Cub said, it's okay, it's okay. Okay, I won't tell you about it, I have something to deal with now. Remember to ask them what level they have, and then tell me to bring some back for me.

Seeing this, Liumao could only reply with a good word. However, in his heart, he still beat the drum for the method that Duan Cub said.

There was a sudden sound of laughter and whispering in the second pass of the Yandang Mountain Range, and when I got closer, it was the sound of the troops stationed here from the Star Empire.

Head, our team can take the first place this time. I saw four or five people gathered around here, and one of them, a thin and strong man, said to the leader.

Then you don't need to ask, now our team has hunted a leopard, didn't we just hunt a wild boar last time? If we are not the first, who is the first? yes, Captain. But without waiting for the captain to speak, another person rushed to say, and said to the captain with a smile.

However, how can the champion in the eyes of this group of people be a leopard, a wild boar or something? Liumao level 0 can kill snakes, aren't these people sent by the state to guard the border? Why does it feel like such rubbish? I'm afraid that even the militia captain of Changshou Village can't beat it! Can this also join the army? This is the combat power of the border guards? Or are these people impostors, and some family members have come here to work as temporary gilding?

Ha ha! 1369 is right, this time our team got a leopard, if this all loses, it can only be said that someone did not follow the rules of the game and cheated. 1259 You don't have to worry about it, you still have to think about it for a while in the face of the worship of their group of people, how to behave to show our might. Haha, yes brothers. The captain was not at all worried when he heard this, and made a joke very happily, and then turned to the crowd and said.

Oh, yes! If it weren't for the rules of the game, and you can't fight, you can't catch it, you can only use things in nature to create traps, I can tear the tiger and leopard alive with one finger, but this is not that our group has been in this place for a long time and is too boring, in addition to practicing all day long, the head of the middle group in order to make everyone more entertaining, but also in order to better exercise, this is only a month to hold a big competition?

Yes, not bad. But you said that we are a thousand people in the group, except for you, whoever can tear the tiger and leopard alive with one finger, I believe it, you forget it, don't blow it. But speaking of which, the head of the regiment is really good at playing, and he actually came up with a way to let us not use strength, but use intelligence to compete.

Roll a few handfuls of eggs. Isn't this also very interesting, we have a group of 1,000 people, through their respective numbers first lottery selection, and then feel unconvinced by the results of the recitation of at least fifty people's numbers and the numbers in their hands, or in five seconds to calculate the sum of the numbers of ten people plus the numbers in their hands, and add these numbers to list an equation that the difference between the two sides is not more than five. And if you are not lucky enough, your memory is not good, and your mental arithmetic ability is not strong, it doesn't matter, you still have a chance to participate in the selection, as long as you feel that you are strong enough in a certain aspect to show off, of course, this is not allowed to show any strength, skills, but you can show power control, microscopic, and the result is that everyone votes together. Ten teams are finally selected to participate in the competition, and then these ten teams are not allowed to use any items, weapons, any brute force, skills, but can only obtain prey through intellectual means (traps, calculations, bait, strategy, borrowing and other factors that are not their own strength), and then compete for the championship. And all of us didn't use strength in the process, but it also made everyone have fun, and felt that they had exercised, and the most important thing was that it was not like the three-month martial arts competition, which was a little hurtful and angry. I really admire the leader of our group.

That is, if the head of our group is not powerful, if there are not a few brushes under his hands, we may not know where and the northwest wind is? Garrisoning here in Yandang Mountain is much stronger than garrisoning anywhere, don't look at the border pass, but it is precisely because of the border pass that it is free, and there is a natural mountain barrier here, so it can't fight at all. Coupled with the businessmen who come and go, the homeless people or something, our group is simply not too moisturized here. But it's really rare, you think that a person who is more friendly than martial arts can still enter the army, fight, usually don't practice, don't kill the hand, and that's what you die on the battlefield.

Cut! Who told you that the battlefield must be fought? The battle has to be fought, but that is the last way without any other means. And like our Xingyu Empire is so powerful, in a few decades, the east wind and the west will not necessarily dare to provoke, where will there be a desperate fight? And without a battlefield of desperate fighting, this set of ideas of a reckless man like you who only knows force will not be useful.

The army is to defend the country, it is the sharpest and toughest sword to expand the territory, how can it be the last way to fight, there is nothing easier than fighting directly, you actually?

Okay, okay, let's see you guys discuss the rules, why is this talking about war again? He is right, Dongfeng, Xihang is firmly outside the boundaries of our country, and they don't dare to provoke our country at all, the war is not so simple to fight, and now there is no need to fight at all, and the two countries can be easily kneaded in applause, not to mention others, the exchange rate of the two countries combined with the currency alone is not comparable to our country. But what you said is also good, the army is the sharpest sword of the country, and although there is no war now, it is also necessary to better sharpen this sword for the country, and fight to the death. While everyone was discussing, the captain saw the rhythm of the two of them who were about to quarrel, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him impartially.

Let's not talk about Wubi, although the damage rate is very high, the rewards are also very eye-catching. Of course, although the reward of Wenbi is not as high as that of Wubi, but this time we are a team that is expected to be the champion, and in the end, it may not be lower than the reward obtained by Wubi. Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, the captain quickly changed the topic and said.

Yes, I heard that this championship is a third-order master-level equipment for each member of the team, and one second-class merit can be promoted if the regiment is counted once, three second-class merits or one first-class merit. And the captain can choose a third-order master-level equipment at will, and be directly promoted to the centurion. Of course, there are so many positions in a middle regiment, of course, it is survival of the fittest, natural selection. Seeing the captain speak, 1369 also replied cooperatively, also to ease the atmosphere of friction between the two companions.

Although 1259 did not react as quickly as 1369, he was also not to be outdone and said directly, yes, the two brothers are all in a team, and the two brothers are right, but the focus is different, but the two brothers can't say that they can only write or only martial arts, right? Haha, it's big to say, Wen can Anbang, Wu can set the country, and if it's small, don't we also have a civil and military competition? The two brothers should not argue about this, we are all members of the championship team, and there must always be someone in the team who is good at strength, and someone who is good at resourcefulness. Did the two brothers say yes?

Ha ha! Otherwise, it is said that some people have high emotional intelligence and some people have low emotional intelligence. 1259 seems to be very good at talking, very good at cooperating, but the topic has been revealed, although he said that he wanted to alleviate the friction between the two partners of the team out of good intentions, but as everyone knows, neither of the two is really reckless, nor is it a pure military division, not to mention that the two have also been in this team for a long time, even if they have just met, they can also know each other's thinking under the bypass, although they do not approve on the surface, but they agree with it in their hearts. How could there really be friction because of this, the captain and 1369 mentioned it and quickly revealed the topic, that is, they knew that the two would not have a real contradiction, and if they could make a contradiction, they would have made a lot of trouble a long time ago. But just as they know the situation of these two people, everyone also knows what kind of person 1259 is, and they also take over the conversation with a smile.

While everyone was talking, they suddenly saw a carriage in front of them, and knew that it was a sheep coming, so they secretly accepted all kinds of moods, and began to stand aside happily and wait for the carriage to come.

It is not surprising that this is already the second mountain pass, and if you don't want to cross the Yandang Mountain Range to another country to make money and do business, you would have left long ago before you saw the first mountain pass. And happily, the reason is also very simple, the appropriation of the imperial court will not make the big guy rich, even if you add Yulu, but who will have too much money? Besides, why can the head of the middle regiment hold a cultural competition every month and conduct martial arts competitions every month, although it is for the development of the army's combat effectiveness, where does he get sufficient funds? Isn't it just that it depends on the money from passing merchants and the appropriation of the imperial court to make the civil and military competition go on?

Of course, everyone doesn't collect much, otherwise it would be equivalent to occupying the mountains and becoming bandits. The imperial army would not do such a dirty thing. The army is used to protect the family and defend the country, and it is not here to kill the people, and if the bandits are not cleaned up, they are already very sorry for the people, so how can they add fuel to the fire. As for collecting this road money, oh. Wrong! This is called business expenses, and it is included in the cost of the merchant. What is the stuff of buying road money! This trade route was not opened for these merchants, and where did these merchants come from to export our goods to foreign countries and import goods from other countries to their own countries. Businessmen seek profits, and selling things at such an expensive price, of course, the cost is more expensive, otherwise the money will be made by the businessman, and the rest of the people will not only have to watch it?

Of course, it was Liumao who came from the carriage, and when he heard the voice of the coachman, he lifted the curtain and saw that five or six people in officer and soldier uniforms were not at the sentry post, but at this time they were standing on the side of the road staring at him, thinking that they had come to drive him away, and thought to himself, did this really not work at all? I didn't plan to go over yet, so I came over and chased myself. It seems that either Brother Duan is not accurate, or the investigation is too strict this time. Thinking of this, I hurriedly called the coachman to go back.

Hey? Why did this carriage turn back again? 1259 said in surprise.

Seeing the carriage coming slowly, I wanted to save some effort and wait in place, but I didn't expect the people in the carriage to open the curtain and turn around and leave, what is the situation? Could it be that his own people scared him? That's not right! There is no merchant who does not know this rule, no matter how many people come or how much net worth he has, as long as he pays a gold coin per capita, he can be sent to the opposite side on the bird mount of the middle regiment, and because the two sides have not fought and the defenders on the opposite side have some cooperation, there will be no situation where there is a mountain range for the merchants of both countries to charge on both sides. Both sides have a tacit agreement that both fowl mounts can send their own merchants to the other side's camp, and then the other party will send the merchants out of the Yandang Mountains for free. Of course, the reason for not collecting money is not only that there are people on both sides, which is actually very fair, but also that the main reason is to prevent outsiders from seeing that the two sides have any interests exchanged, otherwise the heads of the two countries will see that this border guard of the two sides is actually in exchange with the interests of the other country, and it is not easy to misunderstand the suspicion of rebels?

So at least some superficial work must be avoided. As for the reason why the merchants only charge one gold coin per person, it is also very simple, after all, he always has to come back. And when he goes at the same time, there will be a jade plaque for him to record, proving that this person is coming from this side, and not from the other country. Then with the jade plate, it is simple to come back, if the person does not bring any goods, then the same according to the head of the person to collect a gold coin, if the person comes back through a special instrument to detect that he has a large number of goods in the storage space, then according to the value of the goods will be charged 5%-10% tax, and there is a fluctuation because some goods between the country may be limited according to the market, and then according to the market value to judge how much tax should be charged for such conventional restricted goods. If there are some goods with relatively high restrictions, a maximum of 30% tax will be charged, and the goods will be seized, and a certain fee will be paid to redeem these goods with high restrictions. Of course, if this person simply wants to cross the road, it doesn't matter, a gold coin is actually earned for nothing, and the birds also need to be trained in the army. Now someone pays a gold coin to buy a ticket, and they can still get some training, and of course they are happy. Therefore, the head of the regiment on both sides is not worried at all about the problem that it will not be very profitable to only charge a gold coin per head.
