Chapter 5

Liaoyang Mansion! The political, economic, cultural, and military center of Liaodong is not much different from that of Shenyang in later generations. And the status of Shenyang in this era is far inferior to Liaoyang.

Li Xiao walked into Liaoyang Mansion with a few younger brothers and sisters, and the big city is different. The flow of people is bustling and rubbing shoulders, and there are vendors everywhere who are buying and selling. There are also one after another buyers and sellers on both sides of the road, and there are countless teahouses and restaurants. It was the first time for a few little guys to enter the city, and their eyes were a little insufficient.

Especially Xiao Yu, who was riding on a horse, pointed left and right with a finger that looked like a green onion, and a new question popped up before he finished asking a question.

In fact, the only one who can answer the question is Li Xiao. Because two years ago, his father took him to Benxi once. There are several brothers and sisters, and he is the only one who has ever entered the city. Li Xiao thought about going to the mule and horse market first and sold the war horse.

Raising a good horse to feed the concentrate, in fact, it is not easy to raise a good war horse these days. First of all, the war horses of these years did not eat anything like hay. It is the real grain, and the soybean cake is the most common horse feed, and it is said that the war horses of the Tartar nobles eat rice.

The dry food brought by the dolls was for people to eat, and they did not love horses as much as the Jurchens. In the past few days, the aggrieved war horse can only regain the instinct to eat grass. The fat on the horse's body is shrinking at a rate visible to the naked eye. It's still worth selling this war horse with some fat, and it can still be sold for a good price. They can't afford to raise such a good war horse!

When I inquired about it and came to the city of Luoma, I found that it was crowded with people. Liaoyang was the commercial center of eastern Liaoning, where horses sold by the Mongol Jurchens were traded. Liaoyang Luoma City, known as the largest collection in eastern Liaodong. Not only are countless mule and horse dealers making a fortune here, but also people from all over the country come to catch the market. On the outskirts of the city, there are food stalls. sells all kinds of gadgets, and even jugglers are not lively.

Xiao Yuyang begged her brother to watch the monkey for a while, and took two bronze brothers from Li Xiao's hand and threw them to the monkey. Seeing the little monkey picking up the copper coin, the little girl smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth.

Seeing that the little sister was happy, the brothers were also happy. Since the family has undergone a big change, it has been a long time since I have seen this most spoiled little sister smile.

"Brother, Xiaoyu wants to eat a few buns!" Xiao Yu's white fingers pointed to the steamed bun stall not far away.

"Good! Brother will take you to eat steamed buns! "A lot of loose silver was found from the Tartar soldiers, and this money was enough for the brothers and sisters to be entangled in the Guanli. You can even rent a shop in a smaller county town to do some business or something. The little sister wants to eat a bun, which is not a big deal.

Steamed buns stuffed with lamb and green onions, a bite full of oil. Li Hu holds one in his left hand and two in his right hand. The fist-sized bun was stuffed into his mouth, and he swallowed it without seeing how to chew it. Choked and rolled his eyes, and picked up the porridge handed to him by Li Xiao. "Bang" and it will be done in one bite! This guy always sacrifices his life to eat, but he is also the strongest of the brothers. is only eight years old, but he looks as tall as Li Xiao. The body is not much worse than Li Xiao, and my father said when he was alive that this kid is a good crop.

"Eat slowly, no one will rob you. Man, one more cage! Seeing Xiaoyu eating with a mouth full of oil, Li Xiao smiled and asked for another cage of drawers!

"Okay! Wait a minute! The guy said yes and went to get the buns.

Li Xiao was eating steamed buns when he suddenly heard a big mess not far away. Everyone rushed over there, and Li Xiu, Li Hu, and Li Hao also craned their necks to look.

"Don't move the little guest officer, it's not too late for you to go and see it when the official comes!" The job that came to serve the bun reminded in a whisper.

Li Xiao glanced at a few ghostly guys in the crowd who were squeezing into the crowd. It immediately dawned on me that this was the usual method of thieves. Create a little accident and cause a crowd of onlookers. In the case of crowded people, it is the best to start. This is a mule and horse market, and there must be no shortage of guys with a lot of money on them. As long as one can't look at it, maybe there will be something missing from the package on the body.

Looking at the pink carved jade and the cute Xiaoyu, Li Xiao felt that it was also possible for these guys to work part-time as traffickers.

"Thank you, big brother! Don't move, take care of your sister! Hugging his fist at the guy, Li Xiao hurriedly reminded his younger brothers.

"It's not easy to go out, keep an eye on it. The official messenger came, and if he wanted to see the excitement, he went. The guy saw three or four officials with waist knives walking towards this side under the leadership of a tall and strong catcher, and signaled Li Mu to go over at this time if he wanted to see the excitement.

When the official messenger came, the crowd automatically parted and made way for it. Those thieves and rat-eyed guys also slipped into the alley. There were two with smiles on their faces, and they probably succeeded. However, many people were watching the excitement at this time, and no one noticed that there was nothing missing in their package.

Li Xiao followed the official messenger into the center of the crowd and saw two Tartars arguing with a simple-looking man under the leadership of a man in a small hat in Tsing Yi. The two Tartars wore leather robes and fur hats. The hair on the sideburns was combed into pigtails and tied with multicolored ropes. One of the guys, with a golden hoop on his pigtail, looked like a Tartar nobleman.

At first glance, this Tartar is not a Jurchen, but a Mongol. Li Mu has lived in Zhurihe for eight years, and he has long been familiar with the Mongolian people near the base, not only is he familiar with their Mongolian robes, but he also has no problem speaking Mongolian. The Mongolian robes worn by the Mongols have not changed since the time of Genghis Khan, and they are very recognizable.

"What's going on with you? Why the quarrel? It's your stall, you say it first. The sturdy catcher asked in a cold voice. The sound of the urn was very nasal, and Li Mu dared to conclude that this was a senior rhinitis patient.

At a glance, it was a character on the ground, and after a glance, he saw a seven, seven, eighty, eight. I also understood a little in my heart, and it was estimated that the person in front of me had blinded the two Mongols. Friends from other people came with a place to find a place, because of the language barrier, this kind of thing happens almost every day.

"Official...... The guy in the green coat and the little hat was about to speak, but was observed and stopped: "Did you speak?" You said! Catcher pointed at the man who looked very honest again, and it could be seen that Catcher was very dislike the guy in Tsing Yi and the little hat. In the market, there is a lot of money to buy, and one is willing to sell. It's cheap! Or expensive! I can't say anything like that.

The kid in front of him turned his elbow outward, and actually helped the Mongols smash their own stalls.

The honest middle-aged man was half-squatting on the ground with a helpless face, packing up the goods that had been kicked away. What he sold was saddles, and some pendants like horse coats. Selling this thing in the mule and horse market is also appropriate.

The honest man seemed to know the catcher, and shouted: "Ao Dutou!" I am honest, and everyone knows that I have never deceived people after doing business here for so many years. I made the best saddles and coats, and the best sheepskins. This man must say, "My things are not good." I have to get him back another hundred dollars, do you want me to get back another hundred dollars, do you have this rule in our market? ”

"Phew! You're a black-hearted guy who seems to be honest but is actually a bad billet. The deceitful people don't put their tricks brighter, but the leader of our Geritu is the guest of honor of Lord Yuan. You dare to be shoddy, see if I don't report to the officials to arrest you and go to prison. "The guy in Tsing Yi and the little hat actually knew this person when he saw that Dutou. Immediately bring out Lord Yuan of Liaodong Jingluo! If you don't give the face of the Mongolians, do you not give the face of Lord Yuan either?

"This dogleg!"

"Damn, I thought it was the time of the former Yuan, and the Mongols could bully the Han people at will. Beat this son of a bitch! ”

The dog's words aroused strong dissatisfaction among the onlookers, and there was a lot of commotion. The official mission wants to give face to Lord Yuan, but these ordinary people don't need it. Lao Tzu is not an official eater, and the dignified Liaodong is in charge of tens of millions of people, and he knows which green onion Lao Tzu is.

Some hot-blooded young people have rolled up their arms and net sleeves, in the hearts of the people. These traitors are even more hateful than Tartars! If it weren't for the official errand here, he would have started pumping this bastard's big mouth a long time ago.

That Ao Dutou brushed away the fingers of the dog's legs and said coldly: "I didn't ask you, you just shut up Lao Tzu." If you ask about it, if you dare to talk nonsense again, Lao Tzu will slap you with a big mouth. ”

Seeing Ao Dutou so faceless, the dog couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He mentioned that Yuan Jingluo was also pulling the banner as a tiger skin, but in fact, he was not Yuan Jingluo's subordinate, and he didn't even have a waist card on his body. The head in front of him is also a vain fight, and only after a little bit of an adult will he not compete with a small head!

The crowd around him was full of accusations, which frightened him and honestly retreated to the two Mongols. Whispering in Mongolian to the two Mongolians! also pointed at Ao Dutou, so that it would be as obscene as it was.

Zhang Laoshi only cared about cleaning up the things that were kicked away, as if the stirrups were still missing. It is estimated that when he was in chaos just now, he was stolen by a thief who fished in troubled waters. was so angry that Zhang honestly squatted on the ground, tears were about to flow out.

"Ao Ye! I have seen this thing in my eyes, this honest craftsmanship is good, and the five hundred big money in the saddle is fair. At that time, the rules in our market were like this. Where is the reason to find the back account, if this is the case, how to do this business. ”

Zhang was honest, and the vendor next to him saw that he didn't speak, so he hurriedly came out to hug him.

"That's right! Ao Ye! They all came to find the back account, how to do this business. It's not in line with the rules! ”

"That's right! Ao Ye, this is not in accordance with the rules. ”

"One hand of money and one hand of goods, Zhang Laoshi did not use a knife to hold the Tartar neck and force him to buy and sell."

"Ao Ye! Zhang is honest, you can't be biased! ”

Seeing someone helping to speak, the other vendors around also started talking.
