234 is over, isn't it?
With a snap, Tang Ping reached out and pressed Lao Cui's shoulder.
If the garrison of this harbor really wants to fight with their two hundred people, it must be the result of being killed by them in an instant.
But this is not their purpose, as soon as they go ashore, they will have to fight all the way to the local forces?
I can't say that I can only use a small means.
"Two, borrow one and don't speak."
Tang Ping's smile made the two guards relax a little, and after glancing at each other, he and Tang Ping walked a few steps to the side.
"Two, I'm afraid there are hundreds of garrisons in this port, right?"
"Why are you asking about this? Is this what you can inquire about?" A guard looked at Tang Ping warily.
Tang Ping smiled, quite alert, but his purpose was not to inquire about the other party's troops, they also docked several ports to replenish along the way, and they had a general understanding of the approximate garrison strength of these seaports in this sea area.
"Okay, okay, don't inquire, don't inquire, I'm just saying, even if our team pays taxes according to the head, the two of us will only have two hundred big silver, I'm afraid that the two of us won't be able to share a big silver coin, right?"
This kind of guard who came out to patrol was a small leader, and there must still be an approximate proportion of their spoils, and it was strange that they could get one for each of them if they shared two hundred big silver coins among hundreds of people.
Without waiting for the two to reply, Tang Ping took out four big silver coins from his bag, stuffed two of them into each person, and then leaned closer and whispered:
"It's a little funny."
The two of them pinched the large silver coin in their hands, and their faces were full of smiles.
Even the title has changed: "My lord, all the caravans that go ashore have to pay taxes, even if you are ......."
As he spoke, he looked at the large silver in his palm and said, "But you still have to pay taxes, or you won't be able to get out of the harbor."
"Understand, this is the money for the two of you to drink tea, we will naturally pay how much we should pay, but can you let us meet your leader?"
They are official missions, so naturally they have to hand over to the local authorities.
It is said that the king of Hades is easy to see little ghosts, and when the time comes, he will reveal his identity to the local official, if the other party is difficult again, Tang Ping will not plan to be good.
After all, when they met in an official capacity, he represented Datang, and he was absolutely not allowed to back down anymore.
Listened to Tang Ping's request, two
The guards also breathed a sigh of relief, since the other party was an envoy, it was supposed to go to see the commander, and they could get these two big silver coins for nothing if they brought people there, so why not do it?
"Come along!" The two waved their hands and led Tang Ping towards the outside of the harbor.
Along the way, the onlookers all pointed at Tang Ping, and they pointed at them strangely.
And the old Cui Lao Du and others who followed Tang Ping also looked at these Tianzhu people next to them curiously.
"Hey, look at that guy with a chain on his nose."
"Isn't it? It's the same as the cows in our Shanghe Village, hahaha."
"And that hat, so big, isn't it tiring to wear on your head?"
"You know what? You didn't see that there was a transporter with a jar on his head, and their necks and heads here are a little different from ours."
Anyway, the people here can't understand what they say, so they are unscrupulous when they say it.
And the two of them have been following Tang Ping for so long, they have long learned chicken thieves.
Although they are complaining about others, they all have friendly smiles on their faces, and they will nod slightly to say hello when they meet people who are looking at them.
Tang Ping shook his head, he didn't have a good impression of this place, they just complained if they wanted.
Coming to a camp at the exit of the port, two guards communicated with the gatekeeper at the door, and soon someone ran in, and then ran out again.
"Alright, my lord, our general invites you in."
When the group walked into the barracks, the disdain in their hearts was even greater.
It's a barracks, and it doesn't feel much better than the harbor outside, and the ground is littered with garbage.
There was also a foul smell of urine coming from some corners.
You must know that the ordinary army of the Tang Dynasty is now under the militarized management proposed by Tang Ping, and has higher requirements for internal affairs.
Not to mention that the people who came with him this time are the most elite special forces in Datang, and their usual requirements will only be stricter.
It was the Tang Navy that sent them, and the camps of those pirates in the past were a hundred times cleaner than here.
There were not many people in the harbor garrison, and the barracks were naturally not large, so after walking a few steps, they came to the front of a small two-story building.
A guard went in to report it, and came out and said to Tang Ping, "Please."
Tang Ping naturally couldn't bring everyone in and ask others to stay
fate, he only took Lao Cui Lao Du and Wang Xuance into it.
"You're from Datang?" A fat man like a mountain of meat leaned on a stool and asked Tang Ping.
"Exactly, this is our clearance paperwork." Tang Ping handed over the customs clearance document with the two languages written on it.
The fat man didn't read the customs clearance document first, but looked at Tang Ping in surprise, because the local dialect Tang Ping spoke was too authentic.
"You've been to us?" He asked, curiously.
"No, this is my first time in your country." Tang Ping replied honestly.
"Then how did you say what we said here?"
"There was once a winter when the mountains were covered with heavy snow, and there was an old beggar who fainted at my doorstep, and I only learned that he was from Tianzhu after I rescued him, and he also taught me my Tianzhu dialect." After Tang Ping finished laughing, the old Cui Lao Du in the back could only try to hold back his laughter.
"Okay!" The fat general was no longer entangled in this, and glanced at the customs clearance document that Tang Ping had placed on the table, and then threw it back to Tang Ping.
"Datang, I haven't heard much of it, can't anyone come to our Jitaigang, and then take a customs clearance document that I don't know if it's true or false and say that it's a foreign mission, and our Jitaigang will exempt them from poll tax, right?"
"And you big carts and small carts pulled so many things, did you come to our Tianzhu to sell them? How could it not be a caravan?"
Tang Ping frowned, this fat man's tone was not good, it seemed that he was looking for something, the things they pulled were mainly their equipment and supplies, and it turned out to be goods.
Sure enough, the fat general said in the next sentence: "Originally, like you, we collect taxes for a hundred silver, but you are trying to fool and despise our laws and rules, so General Ben has decided to raise your taxes to five hundred silver!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his fat palm and spread all five fingers in unison.
In fact, he knew that most of Tang Ping and them were indeed envoys, after all, the two hundred people were uniformly dressed, how many caravans could do it?
But just like his subordinates, anyway, I don't know which country Datang is, it's definitely not nearby, and they're still afraid that the strong dragon won't succeed?
So the lion opened his mouth more than his men wanted.
After speaking, he waited for Tang Ping's reply, but he didn't expect that as soon as Tang Ping spoke, he was stunned.
"Dead fat!"
