Chapter 624: Monopoly Bureau

"Why don't you let us in, what laws have we broken, we have been walking this road for decades......"

"Why should we inspect our goods and not let us bring wool into the customs......"

"A pound of fine wool and ten copper plates are less than one-tenth of the price of the border market in Yingwei County, you are robbing ......"

"Huai'en Order, we are treated favorably by Huai'en Order, how can this be, we have to go to the Imperial Capital City to sue you......"

The leaders of more than ten sand turf caravans were excited, gathered at the gate of Baishi Pass, shouting loudly, spitting at the mouth, their faces were excited, behind these caravan leaders, was waiting to enter the caravan of the Sand Turks, those caravans, rhinosaurus horses, camels and ox carts, piled up with bags of wool collected by these caravans, the long caravan lined up outside the pass, stretching for seven or eight hundred meters, from the sun came out in the morning to the moment close to noon, it has been spent here all morning, with the rise of the sun overhead, these Sand Tu people who are stuck outside the pass are getting more and more difficult......

An aura of restlessness and restlessness flowed through the caravan!

And in the distance, on the majestic Baishi Pass, the sergeants guarding the pass are still the same as usual, standing solemnly at the pass and the wall, looking coldly below, only those who are attentive and active in the Shatu caravan only to find that among the sergeants at the pass, there seem to be a lot more archers, and the atmosphere of Baishi Pass today is also slightly different from the past.

Today is September 1st, early in the morning, when the Baishi Pass was opened, these caravans of the Shatu people originally wanted to pass the pass as usual, but today's Baishi Pass is different from the past, just outside the pass, a notice printed with the seal of the Qiyun Governor's Mansion has been posted, and the content of the notice can be summed up in one sentence- From today on, Qiyun County implements the policy of wool monopoly, and all the wool transported from the Gulang Grassland to enter the customs is purchased by the Monopoly Bureau of Qiyun County at a unified price here, and any Shatu caravan is not allowed to sell wool into the customs without permission.

For those sand caravans, this monopoly policy is like a bolt from the blue. In the past, the Shatu people on the Gulang grassland sold wool well, and even if the Black Corn people were fighting them to the death at this moment, it did not affect their enthusiasm for selling wool in the slightest.

In the eyes of those Shatu merchants, all this, thanks to the Han people invented the textile technology of wool cloth, if there is no technology, the ones they raise on the grassland, except for eating, there is almost no use, it is this technology, so that their sheep suddenly doubled in value, become the grassland of the fragrant bait, the wool is inexhaustible, the mattress will grow again, the wool everywhere on the grassland can be exchanged for a lot of real money and silver, where to find such a good business in the world. The Han people invented the way to turn wool into wool cloth, but the Shatu people will not thank the Han people for this, in their eyes, this is just another good opportunity for them to let the Han merchants whisper in front of them, let them take what they want, as long as they have wool in their hands, they are not afraid that the Han people will not bow their heads.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, just when these Shatu people thought that they could exchange countless gold and silver from the Han people with the wool wrapped in sheep dung mixed with sand and soil on their hands, the notice of the Qiyun Governor's Mansion posted in Baishiguan today knocked all the Shatu caravans unconscious, and at the beginning, many Shatu people couldn't understand the Chinese characters on the notice, nor did they understand what was called a monopoly, and when the people who understood explained, all the caravans exploded.

"The content of the proclamation has been clearly written, and the big seal of the Governor's Mansion has been used on it, and it has been sent down, and it is useless for anyone to say it!" Xiao Yuman, a member of the army in Baishi Pass, plucked out his ears, with a warm smile on his face, and looked at the excited Shatu caravan leader with an indifferent expression, " You can continue to shout here, shouting until next year, and if you want to go to the imperial capital to find the prime minister and the emperor to complain, please do so, oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, now this Baishi Pass is decided by Qi Yun Governor's Mansion, you should know what the Governor's Mansion is, and if you don't know, you can also go and inquire, even if it is the words of the prime minister of the imperial court, it is not good here......"

"This general, our caravan has been doing business in and out of the customs for decades, and we are law-abiding and law-abiding in and out of the customs, and we have never done anything beyond the bounds, I don't know why we are so harsh today, and we don't talk about it at all?" A wrinkled face and wearing brocade clothes squeezed to the front of the crowd and said loudly to Xiao Yuman.

Xiao Yuman squinted his eyes, and swept his gaze without a trace from the tiger's mouth on the right hand of the leader of the sand tutu caravan who kept saying that he was law-abiding and abiding, and those who had held the knife for too long, the cocoon marks of the tiger's mouth were different from ordinary people, and the thumb of the right hand of the person who opened the bow and shot the arrow would also leave corresponding marks on the tiger's mouth, and the leader of the sand tutu caravan seemed to notice something, and shrunk his hand into his sleeve, quietly avoiding Xiao Yuman's gaze.

"Don't you know what you Shatu Seven have done?" Xiao Yuman still looked unchanged as if he hadn't seen the abnormal cocoon mark of the tiger's mouth of the leader of the Shatu caravan, "If it weren't for your people attacking the Han people who attacked the Fengbian Village and killing so many of us, Lord Guardian would not have issued such a policy in anger......

"The one who attacked the wind side village was the people from the Tuli tribe under the coyote department, and it has nothing to do with us, we are the ...... of the desert department."

"Yes, yes, yes, it was done by the coyotes, and it has nothing to do with us...... "The leaders of several caravans shouted at once.

"Why doesn't it matter?" Xiao Yuman pointed to the surrounding circle of Shatu people, "Haven't you Shatu Seven Divisions always shared honor, haven't you always been a voice talking to us before, every turn is how our Shatu Seven Divisions, how are our Shatu Seven Divisions, how are our Shatu Seven Divisions, now that something has happened, you are not from the Coyote Division, where do you say you are from, I don't know if it's true or false, even if you are from the Coyote Division, you won't write the three words of the Coyote Department on the door of your head, right!" And that day, the Tuli Ministry attacked the Fengbian Village, killing people and setting fires, I heard that it was because of the Tuli eyes that the Fengbian Village could actually do wool business, and wanted to grab all this business, because of this, the Governor was furious after knowing the situation, and issued this wool monopoly order, if you are not angry, you will go to Tuli to reason, and this Baishi Pass will be this rule in the future!"

Looking for Tuli to reason? Didn't the Tuli Department be destroyed by you, Tuli's head was cut off by you and hung on the Baishi Pass, how do we go to Tuli to reason, the leader of the Shatu caravan raised his head, looked at the wooden cage next to the gate not far away that had rotted to the disgusting head, one by one was speechless, half a month ago, the destruction of the Tuli Department has spread all over the Gulang grassland, bringing a huge shock to all the Shatu people, when the head of the Tuli Department was hung on the Baishi Pass, in the past half a month, the Shatu people who entered and exited the Baishi Pass were a little afraid to raise their heads again......

"If you are so domineering and have to engage in some monopoly, then I will not sell the wool in my caravan!" a Shatu man shouted at Xiao Yuman.

"It's up to you whether you sell it or not, our Guardian Lord has always been to convince people with reason, and we don't force you to sell it, let alone rob your things, otherwise it won't become a bandit, if you don't sell it, you can also pull this wool back and use it yourself, hehe......!"

"At this price, I'd rather burn a fire here than sell it!"

"If you want to burn it, please do it, but within thirty miles of Baishi Pass, it is strictly forbidden to burn sundries at will, so as not to touch the warning signal of the border pass, so if you want to burn it, you have to pull it to thirty miles away and burn it again, otherwise the military law is ruthless, don't blame me for not reminding me in advance!" Xiao Yuman's tone remained unchanged, still smiling, " By the way, I would like to remind you again, the wool monopoly office over there, only the first one to go every day, the wool is in good condition, there are ten copper plates and a pound of treatment, the second to go to the third one, even if the wool is the same, the price is even lower, I will say this, you want to do what you want, please do it!"

After saying these words, Xiao Yuman turned around and left directly, no longer paying attention to the sand tu caravan shouting here, the leader of the sand tu caravan looked at the expressionless Han sergeants guarding the pass, all dumbfounded, there were only two roads in front of them, either the wool they transported was sold here at a low price for ten copper plates and one catty, or the wool continued to stay in their hands, and then it was worthless......
