The peddler is also a clever one, seeing Gu Yanzhang's expression, he hurriedly sent the persimmon forward, and said: "This thing is soft and gentle, the elderly and children can eat it, and then it is sweet, the little girl and the eldest aunt have never disliked it, even if they take it back and put it on display, it looks good!" You can also praise it. ”

Gu Yanzhang went out today without wearing an official uniform, only wearing a shirt, and because he thought about Ji Qingling, his whole body aura changed, and he was seen by the peddler, only thinking that it was a young master with Chinese and polite qualities.

He looked at Gu Yanzhang's age, thinking that this one should be a child, and seeing that the other party's clothes and fabrics were good, he should be a confident one, so he shouted more actively, and said busily: "Guest officer, look, I am a soft persimmon, ripe on the tree, which is completely different from other people's gray putty bubbles, not astringent at all, it can really be eaten without teeth, even if it is an old lady in seventy or eighty at home, a child who is only a year old is not afraid, like eating honey, squeak and enter the stomach!" ”

Saying that, he really broke the persimmon from it with his bare hands, revealing the soft flesh that was extremely red and beautiful, as if it was flowing with honey, and asked Gu Yanzhang to try it, and said: "If you buy more, I will give you some more for free, how many little babies are there in the guest officer's house now?" I'll give one for each person! ”

Gu Yanzhang couldn't help laughing.

There is only one small one in his family, and now he is in the capital, and as for the smaller one, it will take two or three years to be born soon, and there is not even a shadow at the moment.

However, he saw that the persimmon looked really cute, thinking about the one in the family, and was in a really good mood, so he bought all the persimmons in a stall, and planned to take them back to share with the subordinates in the security army who had been busy for a long time in the past few days.

When the peddler saw that there was a big business, he was so happy that his mouth was open, and he hurriedly pointed to a big bamboo basket on the side and asked, "Do you want to buy some side ones?" You don't feel like we're locals with an accent, are you from the north? ”

Saying that, he lifted the cloth covered by the bamboo basket and said: "Look at my Guizhou taro, all of them weigh three or two pounds, pink and fragrant, there is no more in the north, I went to Lipu to find it, it is all betel nut taro, this thing can be cooked no matter how it is, and a cabbage leaf can be delicious, last time I stewed at home, the family almost scraped the bottom of the pot when I ate it!" ”

He only sells some food, but he looks like a lion fighting a rabbit with all his might.

He also took a steamed taro from the bamboo basket, broke a piece to give to Gu Yanzhang to eat, and persuaded: "Taste it, it's really a good thing, if it's not delicious, I'll give it to you for free!" ”

Gu Yanzhang took it and took a bite.

Sure enough, the vendor did not deceive, the taro was as powdered as fine sand, and the mouth was floury and fragrant.

He couldn't help but think of the last time Ji Qingling complained that the yam in the yam jujube cake was wet and sticky, slippery, and greasy, so he asked, "How long can this thing last?" ”

The peddler followed the conversation, and hurriedly said: "If you say taro, as long as it is stored well, you are not afraid to put it for a season, and I will bury it with fine sand for you, and then send it to the house?" ”

Gu Yanzhang nodded, bought a large basket of taro, and beckoned the rosin who followed behind him to come over and meet the money.

The peddler didn't think of being a guest, but he had completed all the business of the past few days, and he was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth, and said to the rosin who came to give the money: "Don't bother the little brother, where is your turn to carry such a heavy job as carrying the burden!" ”

Then he said to Gu Yanzhang: "I'll send the guest officer to the house?" Would you like to buy something from the side? I still have Guizhou's Sanhua wine, dried osmanthus, and then the wax sausage, horse jerky, twisting incense and twisting incense! ”

Gu Yanzhang listened curiously and asked, "What did you do in the original business, did you only run in Guizhou and Yongzhou?" ”

The peddler sighed, and quickly packed the things into the bamboo basket, and replied: "To tell you the truth, I was in Guangyuan Prefecture to set up a stall with others, buy some things from Guizhou to sell, those cave owners in Guangyuan Prefecture give up money, things shake in front of them, it is easy to get out, although the income is not much, the subsistence is enough, who wants to because of the ban on the mutual market, there is no livelihood, I don't know what to do for a while, I can only come back here to take out the ready-made at home to make a few small money." ”

Gu Yanzhang just asked casually, but when he heard the other party's answer, he was surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Ban mutual markets?" Is Guangyuan Prefecture's field closed? ”

The peddler sighed and said, "Who says it's not! Tongjiaozhi's field was closed early, and now the field in Guangyuan Prefecture has also been closed, and it has been closed for three or two months, how many people are pointing to eat there! I can only find some other work to earn a living ......"

The more Gu Yanzhang listened, the more wrong it became.

Guangyuan Prefecture is a buffer between Jiaozhi and the Great Jin, although it is a three-regardless zone, but many daily utensils, have to rely on the mutual market to buy with the Great Jin, even the salt must have the Great Jin to supply, and although Jiaozhi is self-reliant, no matter cotton, tea, salt, medicinal materials, etc., must be exchanged from the Great Jin.

Now that the field is passing, it is simply a ready-made reason for Jiaozhi to send troops, and it has also forced Guangyuan Prefecture to the opposite side.

He asked again: "Originally, the field was opening well, why did it suddenly close?" ”

Gu Yanzhang is a businessman, and he has always known that everything is inseparable from the word "profit". If you want the border between the two countries to be stable, in addition to pressing it by force and national strength, there is also the word "profit", which is also very useful if used properly.

The country is weak, but there are many thoughts.

There is a saying that the temple is a small demon and the wind is big, and the pool is shallow and the king is eight.

There is another saying, which is called the poor mountains and bad waters out of the people.

Jiaozhi now comes to the border from time to time to plunder, but if the two countries have more transactions and deeper connections, both the common people and the nobles have earned enough money from each other, and when it is profitable and cannot be cut, it is unlikely that the thieves want to raise troops on a large scale.

On any day, the clothing, food, housing, and transportation of the Jiaozhi country will depend on the Great Jin, and the country of Jiaozhi can also use wood, Chinese herbal medicine, agarwood, etc., when a large amount of money is made back, even if someone wants to fight, and has not yet sent troops, those individuals who have taken advantage of the country will jump out to oppose it.

If there is a real fight, the mutual market between the two countries will be cut off, and who will pay for the lost money?

But now the Great Jin Dynasty has been closed with Guangyuan Prefecture and Jiaozhi, which is tantamount to artificially severing the three-sided connection.

The peddler sighed and said, "It's not the one who 'mistaken' Zhizhou!" It's only been a few months since I arrived, and I'm busy with the troops again, training the troops, recruiting troops and horses in Yongzhou, and going to the vicinity of Guangyuan Prefecture to inspect, isn't it obvious......"

When he said this, he hurriedly glanced left and right, and said, "Don't talk about this, don't talk about this!" Where is the guest's home? I'll pick up these persimmons and taro for you! ”
