The broken gold city is a garrison built by Liang Yi, the minister of Western Xia, buried in the west of the Wuding River, in order to defend the two states of Yinxia and confront the Song army across the river. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the fourth year of Shenzong Yuanfeng, the general Chong Mao led the army to attack the broken gold city in one fell swoop, and it has always been in the hands of the Song army.

However, due to the destruction of the ferry during the battle, the Song army did not have anyone to guard it in peacetime, and it was very troublesome to come and go, and gradually the broken gold city became the territory of the mountain people, and the Song army also ferried over to clear the mountain people, but they found that the army had not yet been opened, and these people had run into the mountains, or ran to the military buffer zone of the Song army and Western Xia, and there was no way to take them.

The mountain people are actually bandits in another sense, but they are very different from bandits, at best, they are just savages who have no hukou and are not recognized by the Great Song Dynasty.

They lacked the necessary necessities, the ferry had not been repaired, and the government's hatred of such people had prevented them from having the opportunity to go down the mountain and interact with the people in the city.

The salt they needed on weekdays was still given by the wine and meat monk in the Hanging Temple three miles away.

This monk doesn't live in the temple on weekdays, he wanders around with a basin, and when he comes back, he can always bring some daily necessities, and he is also scattered to the people of the Broken Gold City.

The Hanging Temple was originally the outpost pass of the broken gold city in Western Xia, and then successively built a temple here, trying to get the blessing of the gods, or it may be that the killing and abuse are too heavy, and they want to wash away the sins on their bodies through the gods.

After being occupied by the Song army, the Buddha statue was preserved, and the temple gradually became large.

Some monks who place orders will choose to stay here, and the monk who drinks wine and eats meat came here to settle down only the year before last.

Interestingly, the Hanging Temple enshrines not only the Buddha of Buddhism, but also the patriarch of Taoism, so this is a temple that integrates Buddhism and Taoism.

Thinking that those stone Buddhas must have been built by the Tangut people, the Song people believed in Taoism, so they naturally gave their whole life completely to their own faith.

The reason why Wu Xi came here was naturally not to come to see the temple, he was finding a way to make a fortune for himself.

The mountain people need basic living materials, while the people under the mountain need the goods in the hands of the mountain people, mainly animal skins.

In this way, the two markets are mutually reciprocal, and Wu Xi can earn a little profit from it, which is a simple thing.

Meeting Agui is probably the driving force behind Wu Xi's desire to do this.

Agui is an authentic mountain dweller.

When Wu Xi saw him, his whole body was swollen, and the whole person didn't look energetic, and he retched at the first sight of Wu Xi.

Of course, Wu Xi would not think that this person was disgusted with his disgusting state, and such a manifestation only existed in the ridicule of later generations.

Ah Gui didn't even have the most basic living materials, so naturally he wouldn't make such a meaningless move.

This is a typical sign of a lack of salt in the body, and the body's ability to withstand it has reached the upper limit, if it is not for the fact that the body is really unable to resist, he will not risk wading water to find salt.

Seeing that Wu Xi was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child, he didn't have much burden in his heart, so he came up directly to look for something on Wu Xi's ox cart.

While looking for it, he said, "Are there any pickles, or salt-related things, if you can't eat salt today, I'm afraid you won't even have the strength to go back." ”

Ordinary people saw this scene, in addition to driving away this neuropathy, it was to take the report to the official, and the yamen bought a large number of mountain people, which was a transaction in the entire Song Dynasty.

But what Wu Xi saw was a channel to make money.

From the eyes of the person in front of him, Wu Xi could completely see that as long as you give him salt, you can exchange it for any valuable goods on him without equal value.

In the eyes of these people, salt is the same as the dependence of drug addicts in later generations.

"What's your name?"

Wu Xi watched with interest as this person found the pickles that Wu Xi had bought for three cents in a jar, took a handful of them and stuffed them into his mouth, and asked casually while he could still understand human words.

"Agui!"

Simple and direct, never say a word again, as if just one more sentence will lose the opportunity to replenish the salt in vain, in his opinion, the reason why this teenager let him take it casually is time-limited.

"There's no hurry, you can eat it slowly, or even take it back and share it with your family. ”

Wu Xi said.

Ah Gui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, thinking that he had heard it wrong, in his eyes, except for the monk who ate meat, there was no one in this world who was a good person.

Originally, he was ready to be beaten, but he didn't expect this half-old child to be angry, but to give himself all the dishes in this jar.

This kind of thing has never happened since he was born.

"You heard me right, you can take it all back, and if you still need it, I'll pass by here in a few days, just come and get it, and I'll bring you real salt when the time comes." ”

Wu Xi felt that he should be able to understand this.

Ah Gui is a real person, he doesn't talk much, and everything he wants to express is in his actions.

Putting the pickles back in his hand to the jar, he turned and went into the grass and took out a few skins of animals that had dried very well.

I can't tell what kind of leather it is, but it's more than enough to make a fur coat to protect against the cold.

Ah Gui took a few skins and was still in Wu Xi's ox cart, hugged the vegetable stall and got off the main road, and ran happily in the direction of the Wuding River.

Wu Xi originally wanted to stop him, these skins are of high value and good condition, the important thing is that there are no traces of arrows on the whole skin, which is rare.

It shows that these people pay attention to the protection of skins when hunting.

As far as these skins are concerned, the market value is around the same money, and it is completely possible to buy a ploughing cow.

"I don't care about it so much, let's just leave it at that, and I'll talk about other things later. ”

Agui's voice came from afar.

This is very good, as long as there is a future, then this jar of sauerkraut has not lost its value.

The ox cart was lent to Wu Xi by Cao Hui, and Cao Hui would go to Shuangxi Village in a few days, mainly to settle the profits of the first phase for Wu Xi, and drive the ox cart back by the way.

In the past few days, he has asked craftsmen to assemble a few blowers, and also showed them to Zhang Shirong, without saying a word, he contracted the entire assembly line, and paid Cao Hui 500 yuan at one time, saying that this is just a fixed price, and things will be discussed in the future.

Zhang Shirong paid Cao Hui Jiaozi, which is a paper coin that cannot be circulated, but can be exchanged for copper coins in designated banks.

There is no such money in Siwu City, so he can only go to Suizhou City to exchange it.

After the exchange is completed, sixty percent of the one will be given to Wu Xi in Shuangxi Village.

Cao Hui didn't feel that he had anything to lose, he didn't have to do anything, he could get 40% of the profits, he felt that this was no different from picking up money, so he was happy to go to Shuangxi Village in person.

Everyone has set a lever of satisfaction for themselves in their hearts, for example, Cao Huibai picked up forty percent of the money, he was very satisfied, and he didn't ask too much for Wu Xi.

When Gui was given a jar of salted pickles, he was satisfied, and even though he had paid nearly three skins for it, he felt it was worth it.

But now the two "big men" with knives standing in front of Wu Xi, they did not set a lever for themselves to be satisfied, Wu Xi took out everything and threw it on the ground, and they still asked Wu Xi to take off his entire clothes before he was willing to give up.

Humming the love song of the future, he was happily ready to go home to give Daddy Wu a big surprise, but he didn't expect to turn a corner and see a robber of his age, a hero who learned to rob the rich and help the poor, masked, holding a sword in his arms, his right leg slightly deviated, and looked at Wu Xi and his ox cart mockingly.

Not far from this person was a man with two hammers in his hand, sitting on the side of the road and dozing off.

The disproportionate age and occupation make the style of painting a little funny, just want to say good words to persuade him, but he didn't expect that the man with the hammer smashed the baffle of the ox cart with a hammer at the signal of the masked man, and the gifts he bought home were also scattered all over the ground.

"Can't you say something well, you have to smash it to be happy?" Wu Xi was scared in his heart, but what he said was very relaxed, trying to escape the catastrophe in such a way.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, blowing away the face towels on the faces of the two people, revealing the true face of Lushan.

"Bull's-eyed baby, he saw our faces. ”

"Ergouzi, how is this good. ”

The two of them looked at each other and lost their words, and they leaked out their own situation.

"You're stupid, didn't you say you wouldn't call your name?"

"Didn't you call me by my name too?"

The two of them are obviously new, the bull's-eyed baby is relatively rough, and the two dogs are relatively lean, playing the absolute leader.

And his position is now being challenged, so he is very unconvinced.

"Who is the boss of the two of us?" Ergouzi really didn't want to quarrel with a bull's-eyed baby with a lot of brains, which was an insult to his IQ.

"Of course it's you, didn't we say okay?" The bull's eye baby was just arguing, but he definitely followed what he promised, saying that he would make you the boss, and he would never break his word.

"Then now I'll let you go and kill him, and the goods will be all ours. The second dog commanded and tempted.

The bull's-eyed baby didn't think about anything, and walked towards Wu Xi with a hammer mechanically.
