"That's why the king is in charge, and he finally said that this place of Chengde can't stay for a long time?

Oh, you humans are really troublesome to do things, if I Hu San, then it's just a fire...... Stop! Let's not talk about that.

Brother Yang, what's wrong with Wang in charge of him these days, he stayed overnight every day for the first two days.

Yesterday and today were three strokes in the morning, and in the afternoon, the sun was just west in the afternoon.

After less than three hours of travel, can't you be reconciled with the previous two days? ”

"Well, Steward Wang mentioned it to me, and he said he was asking for directions."

After that, Yang Congxun smiled meaningfully at the little fox: "Third brother, do you know what it means to throw beans and ask for directions?" ”

"Cast ...... Throwing beans and asking for directions? ”

"Yes, third brother, have you ever noticed that Steward Wang has been in contact with someone as soon as he enters the inn these days?"

Hearing Yang Congxun's mention, the little fox suddenly remembered.

In the past few days, as soon as the steward Wang entered the inn where the caravan was staying, he did not even have time to settle down with the accompanying carriages and horses, so he hurried to the lobby of the inn, and sat down with a smile and a smile in front of a man who occupied a seat and was drinking alone with a plate of fried broad beans.

After whispering to him for a while, Steward Wang would stand up again with a smile, hug his fist at the man, and say, "The green mountains do not change, and the green water flows forever."

Only then did he rush back and command the caravan to settle down and rest.

"This is the bean throwing and asking for directions? Brother Yang, where did those men who connected with the king come from? ”

Seeing that Yang Congxun's face suddenly turned pale after hearing his words, he put his mouth to Hu San's ear and whispered in a voice like a mosquito.

"Listen to Steward Wang, those men are eyeliners sent down the mountain by the slippers in the nearby cottages, and they are specifically responsible for finding suitable targets!"

"Steward Wang, he took the initiative to find this eyeliner joint, so aren't our truckloads of goods delivered to the door?! Brother Yang, should we ...... What are you laughing at? ”

Just when the little fox was so anxious that his back hair stood up, Yang Congxun raised his hand with a smile and patted it lightly on the head of Hu San, who jumped up, and motioned for him to sit down steadily.

"Hu San, what are you anxious about? The king's steward, he has already used the money to buy a good road from the mountain slipper! ”

"Buy, buy a good road? How did I not know? ”

"So Hu San, you still don't look at things carefully enough...... Didn't you notice that there was an empty plate in front of the man who drank broad beans and wine? ”

Yang Congxun told the little fox that this empty plate was specially reserved for those who were interested in buying a caravan joint for themselves, which was the so-called 'throwing beans and asking for directions'.

According to the king's steward, this bean throwing is to grab a few broad beans and throw them into the empty plate in front of the drinking man.

As for how many grains to drop, it depends on how many carts your caravan has.

When the beans are put on the plate, the man on the opposite side will open a price code for buying according to the number of beans in the plate.

As long as the people who come pay all the money, then they can rest assured that they can hurry boldly tomorrow, and the good man in the cottage will never come out to block the road.

After listening to Yang Congxun's explanation, the little fox directly felt that his head couldn't turn around.

"What's this all about? This caravan of walking merchants actually took the initiative to negotiate the price with those who played the score and grabbed themselves?

In the end, he smiled and paid money to others? The storytellers in the teahouse don't dare to say that, right? ”

Although the little fox who is not deeply involved in the world can't turn this corner for a while, but you taste it carefully, is this the reason?

As mentioned earlier, this businessman is willing to go out to eat the hard work of running back and forth, and what he is trying to do is not a good word?

If the heroes who blocked the way down the mountain robbed all the goods of the entire caravan, even if the merchant could finally struggle for his life to go back, he would never take the goods on this road again.

Even the wealthy merchants refused to fight before this mountain, so how could the heroes on the mountain survive in the future?

You must know that this rabbit still doesn't eat the grass next to the nest!

Once those heroes who went up the mountain and landed on the grass moved the village of Shaoguo near the cottage, no one would be willing to sell grain and grass to these people or buy the goods they had looted.

Perhaps, there are well-informed people who want to go to the government or other cottages to reveal the truth of their mountain.

What awaits this cottage at that time will be a catastrophe.

In addition, even those caravans that go to sell goods outside the customs often take the initiative to get together with people who have dealt with them before according to the distance of their relationship.

At that time, as soon as this caravan leaves the customs, there will be more than a dozen carriages and twenty or thirty men acting together, so how many people and horses will the cottage have to send to wipe it out?

This ambush and robbery is not as simple as standing in the middle of the road, holding a few machetes casually, and blocking people's path.

Anyone who dares to do this will most likely end up being trampled into a few lumps of meat by the caravan's dozen carts and horses.

"Listening to Steward Wang, it is the combination of these factors that gave birth to the rule of throwing beans and asking for directions.

Those cottages that have the ability to dispatch hundreds of men and horses to block the road and ambush and outflank them will send their men to wait in the pot inns where caravans often stay.

One is to collect money and sell the road, and the other is to be the eyeliner of the target.

As long as the visitor can pay the full amount of money to buy the road according to the rules, then wave and let go; In this way, everyone is polite, and it is the harmony that makes money. ”

Rao is little Hu San was so shocked by Yang Congxun's previous words that he couldn't speak, but the content that made him stare was actually still behind.

I saw that Yang Cong was so elated that he continued to sell the insights he had just found from others.

"Listen to Steward Wang, these good men on the mountain are actually very talkative, not only will they be allowed to leave if they give enough money, but they can also bargain with the road price they offer!"

You think, since the caravan is willing to take the initiative to pay for the road, then when they walk the next day, no one will jump out to block the caravan's road.

This caravan has never met with the bandits on the mountain, how do people know that the bandits on the mountain will not disguise themselves again after accepting the money to buy the road, and pretend to be another group of bandits to block the road and collect money?

Whoever receives the money will be responsible for the safety of the caravan on the second day...... If you don't keep the peace, people won't give you money next time!

So this road money is definitely not something you can collect without coming out to block the road.

Hey, the guest officer asked, "The good men on this mountain are not the dart board of walking guards, how can they ensure the safety of the caravan?"

Naturally, the large and small hills on the ground nearby were swallowed up by this cottage, and all the slutters on this ground obeyed the command of this cottage, and they could naturally ensure that the caravan was peaceful after receiving the money to buy the road. ”

This is the reason why the king's steward has been hurrying and slow in the past few days.

The cottages that sell roads are large and small, and the area that can be controlled is also different.

But the caravan paid the money for buying the road last night can only manage it for one day, and once it is delayed on the road, it can only pay for another day.

If you catch up with the powerful big stockade, you have to get up early and rush to the road at night, so that you can leave the sphere of influence of others within a day.

If you run into a small village, you might as well walk slowly, anyway, as soon as you get out of its sphere of influence, you have to buy a new road, so there is no need to rush so much.

Is this a bargain, naturally the caravan knows that the cottage in front of him is not large enough.

Catching up with Ming'er will delay his own work for half a day, so that the price can be lowered, right?

"Oh, it's a good thing to run a business, why is it so troublesome to buy and sell roads?

It doesn't matter, as long as it can fill our stomachs.

Brother Yang, let's get up again today, and I guess we have to rest early in the evening.

I thought, since I have spare time, why don't I get some meat to beat my teeth by the way? ”

However, the little fox's gluttony for meat later led to countless stories...... As for what happened next, let's see the next breakdown.
