readx;? The bazaar in the wolf barbarian tribe is naturally not as prosperous and lively as the human race, but the scale is much smaller, but in Yang Li's opinion, it has a sense of intimacy that has not been seen for a long time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
There are not many types of goods sold in the bazaar, basically there are only two types: food and weapons.
There are very few other books, toys, and luxury goods, and even if you occasionally see one or two selling them, they are still crowded and no one cares.
At this time, Yang Li walked to the door of a weapon shop, and found that the door was already surrounded by wolf barbarians, and when he looked at the weapons made of fine iron inside, he showed a look of envy that could not be concealed.
"Boss, will you sell me this wolf tooth hammer for three hundred taels?"
"No, no, no! Three hundred and sixty taels, not a penny less! Don't get in the way, there are others to see later!"
"Grass!"
After the wolf barbarian was rejected, a look of resentment appeared on his face, the three hundred taels of silver were obtained by him after saving up for a long time for military exploits, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even afford a weapon in his hand.
Although the shopkeeper was a Terran merchant he had never looked down upon, he didn't dare to make a mistake here.
After all, this shop is quite handsome, and Wang Ba personally invited it, so that the surplus silver in the tribe can have a place to use.
Although the Yun Kingdom pays a lot of gold and silver every year, if it is not used, it is just a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron.
Seeing this scene in his eyes, Yang Li couldn't help but have a new feeling in his heart.
The lords and factions of the Cloud Kingdom are not all brainless stupid pigs, and they also know that when paying tribute, they try to give most of the gold and silver, and reduce the finished weapons and armor.
In this way, although a lot of things are given away on the surface, the actual value is not high.
But even then, this is not a long-term solution.
Because after a long time, the wolf barbarians will wake up, just like the meeting not long ago, the barbarian king Devouring Dragon has begun to directly ask for an increase in the number of weapons and armor attacks.
After walking around for a while, Yang Li had already bought a lot of things.
For example, ten fine iron swords, ten pairs of bright silver armor, as well as some pastries and snacks, books on the art of war, and so on.
This is also the reason why he has a lot of silver tickets, if it is other wolf generals, no matter how much credit he makes, he is not as rich as him.
"Hey, isn't there any rouge gouache for sale in this bazaar?"
After walking for a while, Yang Li took out the list that Zhou Qingxue gave him, and then asked deliberately.
"These things are only sold in the largest shop inside, and if the General wants to buy them, he will have to continue some distance south. ”
One of his subordinates immediately stepped forward to answer, then pointed to the other side of the bazaar.
Yang Li followed the direction he pointed, walked for a while, and sure enough, he saw a large shop with a plaque that read "Thousands of Guests".
This store covers an extremely wide area, and the goods in it are also dazzling, and there are dozens of miscellaneous guys at a glance, and then there are bookkeepers, pick-ups, and packaging, which are almost no different from the shops in Cangzhou Mansion.
There is also a team of wolf barbarian soldiers of about twenty people guarding the shop, and it is obvious that the owner of this shopkeeper is very good at eating whether he is in the human race or in the wolf barbarian tribe.
"What does this guest need?"
The guy in the shop had a strange look on his face when he saw that the leader was the Terran general at first, but when he thought of the big news from Yunguo recently, he immediately understood, and then stepped forward to greet him with a smile.
However, Yang Li didn't pay attention to him, but walked straight to an old shopkeeper at the counter in the middle.
"Shopkeeper, I want to buy mountain flower rouge, glazed gouache, pink jade hairpin, I don't know if this store sells it?"
The old shopkeeper was checking the account book, but after hearing this, his face suddenly showed a trace of imperceptible solemnity, and then returned to normal.
When the wolf barbarian general heard this, he didn't think it was strange.
After looking at Yang Li's appearance for a while, the old shopkeeper replied with a smile: "There are some, but there are many types of these things, and it is best for the general to give me a list." ”
"There's a lot on the list, and if you can get it in your store, that's the best thing. ”
Yang Li replied as he took out the list that Zhou Qingxue had written to himself, and then handed it over.
"Wait a minute, I'll let people prepare. ”
After the old shopkeeper took the order, he immediately took a closer look and nodded.
About half an hour later, the messy items on this list were almost ready, and a few of them were out of stock, and they were replaced by other things with similar efficacy.
When the subordinates under his command received the goods, they were all the same carefully screened and inspected very carefully.
Seeing Yang Li, he seemed a little displeased, and someone explained with a smile: "Although this shop is big, the human race has always been cunning, let's help the general see if there are any fakes in it, so as not to take it back and the shopkeeper will not admit it." ”
"Well, thank you very much. ”
Yang Li knew that these people were checking the things in it, and whether there was any entrainment to pass the news, so he didn't deliberately break it.
After the inspection, he deliberately walked around the market for a while, and Yang Li returned with these goods with a full load.
Late at night, the old shopkeeper of Qiankelai personally sorted out today's account books, and then locked them in the box.
Three days later, on the last day of the month, the books would begin to be shipped to the Liang Kingdom and delivered to the big proprietors of the shops, but they would also have to pass through the Cloud Kingdom.
"This time, the proprietor personally instructed a detailed account book of General Yang's purchases to be sent to an official of the Yunguo Shangjing City Military Department, which is really strange! Our Liangguo has always had a tense relationship with Yunguo, why do we still need to help them?"
The old shopkeeper muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off when he did things.
And although he knew that Yang Li's shopping list must be a little different, and even as soon as the front foot of the family left, there were wolf soldiers behind him who came here to ask for a copy of the past.
But with so many years of experience in doing accounts, he still can't see what secret is hidden inside.
At first glance, everything bought is ordinary.
Even if you take the names of these things apart and combine them, you can't spell out a single sentence that can be understood.
After pondering like this for a while, the old shopkeeper finally shook his head and gave up.
The big proprietor is in a high position in the Liang country, if there is really any connection with the military department of the Yun country, it must not be something that he can mess with, this kind of secret matter, it is better not to study it so hard.
At the same time, a team of wolf barbarian soldiers carrying the list they had just obtained from Qiankelai also hurried to the settlement where the barbarian Wang Ba was located.
What Yang Li didn't know was that in the recent period, as the war was getting closer and closer, Wang Ba had moved the important personnel of the royal court to other places. As for Wang Ba himself, he also took a few cronies and generals and moved to other settlements to station.
In the original royal court, except for some materials that were difficult to move, it was no different from ordinary settlements.
