"It's too rich."

"It's not bad, either."

At lunchtime, Wang Qiang looked at a large table full of wine and food in front of him, including beef, sheep, chickens and ducks, full of color, flavor, and flavor, tasted a few dishes, and drank a glass of sorghum wine, and couldn't help but praise.

In the wilderness before, he had eaten several kinds of one-star beast meat, but it was just a casual roast, how could he have the time and conditions to cook it carefully?

Moreover, the Han Dynasty lasted for nearly 20,000 years, and the food culture also developed to its peak, and the various delicacies were not bad compared to the ones he ate before, and even in terms of meals, the quality of the ingredients was much better.

In the past, even he on the earth had never eaten any one-star spirit beast meat.

Because the space-time barrier is too weak, on the earth, ordinary mutant beasts have already opened their spiritual intelligence, let alone spirit beasts?

And those mutant beasts and spirit beasts are all home-raised, and it is impossible to kill and eat.

In the Origin World at the center of this universe, only demon beasts above the three-star level can open their spiritual wisdom and become real demons.

Birds and beasts above one star will begin to mutate and evolve, and awaken their talents, called demon beasts.

One-star birds and animals are ordinary livestock and poultry.

"I don't know how delicious the meat of those two-star and three-star demon beasts is?"

Like his sister, Wang Qiang is actually an out-and-out foodie.

Therefore, for the legendary monster meat, it would be a lie to say that you are not curious and do not want to eat it.

Such a sumptuous wine and food, of course, is not that the boss of this Huiyuan trading house is really very bold, but these recruited temporary guards are about to set off for a long journey, guarding their own caravans, and fighting desperately with those horse bandits.

Therefore, this sumptuous banquet should be used to boost morale and practice.

As the shopkeepers of the trading houses here, they are more aware of the situation of some horse bandits in the state.

Among them, several large horse bandits not only have a lot of scale horses, but the elite of the horse bandits are not equipped under some regular armies.

Many people know what is greasy about this.

There is no doubt that more than half of them must be controlled by those big families behind the scenes.

In order to get rid of their competitors reasonably and strive for more benefits.

Between the families, they all follow the rules on the surface, and everyone guards their own one-third of an acre of land and will not tear their faces.

But to be able to become a power of a large and medium-sized family, where will there be fuel-efficient lamps?

Mingli will not tear his face, but in the dark there are swords and swords, intrigues and intrigues.

Huiyuan Commercial Bank is also a large force in Bingzhou, and has its own business name in many towns and even counties.

But compared to the big families in the state, it's nothing.

Even when the Xiongnu went south to fight the grass valley, they did not dare to enter the territory actually controlled by those big forces, and at most they attacked some villages where their branches were located.

Otherwise, it angered those wealthy families who controlled the state behind the scenes, and under the full counterattack, it was really possible to completely exterminate the invading Hun soldiers in the pass.

Those large horse bandits naturally won't pick those big forces to attack, and they are targeting other small and medium-sized families.

For all this, those big forces that dominate the state behind the scenes are happy to see it happen.

After all, they simply wouldn't allow other wealthy families to develop in the state, and there was a risk of replacing their own status in the future.

Other forces, making a little money in the annexed state, even if they want to swallow up the wealth of the state, they will definitely be desperately suppressed, and even eradicated.

The owner of Huiyuan Commercial Bank, of course, knows these routines very well, and is also very well-behaved, and will not encroach on the interests of those forces, and will not be contaminated by industries with rich interests such as hotels, mines, ordnance, and food.

They are just in the medicinal herb business.

The wilderness of Bingzhou is very huge, and there are too many rare medicinal materials in it, and this piece alone is enough for all the forces to make a lot of money.

The goods they transported this time were to transport the medicinal materials they had purchased in Pingshan Town in the past six months to Shanyin County.

Then, it was transported from Shanyin County to Yanmen Pass and sold to Lu Bu, the guard of Yanmen Pass.

Lu Bu, the guard general of Yanmen, has 300,000 soldiers under his command, and he has to use a lot of medicinal materials every day, configure various decoctions to strengthen the body and bones, and train hard to improve.

They knew that Lü Bu had pushed the Xiongnu 30,000 miles last year and had obtained a large amount of wealth and booty.

The complete victory of this long-range attack is enough for Lu Bu to develop a wave.

There are even a few wealthy families, each of whom has raised thousands of dragon scale horses, ready to sell them to Lu Bu at a high price.

Although Lu Bu captured countless cattle, sheep and horses in last year's battle, there were not many two-star spirit beast horses, and there were less than two thousand two-star intermediate spirit beast horses.

After all, the Xiongnu are now in decay, suppressed by the Qiang and Xianbei, and they are no longer the overlords of the grassland.

They were attached to the Han Dynasty for thousands of years, surviving and thriving in the area near the Great Wall in the north of Bingzhou.

It's just that the Huns are white-eyed wolves and can't be raised at all.

In the past thousand years, taking advantage of the decline of the Han Dynasty and no time to take care of the frontier, they often went south to hunt grass valleys, robbing money, grain, property, and women.

Even the counties to the north of Bingzhou and to the right of Yanmen County have actually been occupied by the Xiongnu.

If it weren't for Lu Bu's recent strong rise, it wouldn't be long before even Yanmen County would be occupied by the Xiongnu.

The current situation is that the major forces in the state want to get a piece of the pie from Lu Bu, who returned from the great victory.

Especially the tens of millions of cattle, sheep and horses in Lu Bu's hands.

For the huge Han Dynasty, because of the low breeding model, these are the most lacking, especially in the Central Plains and the south.

They knew very well that Lu Bu had no way to feed so many cattle, sheep and horses, and he had to get rid of it as soon as possible to get rid of this tricky burden.

Because he is only a border guard general, he is not even as good as the power of a county commander.

Moreover, he has no qualified strategists under him, and he can't think of a better way to deal with it at all.

If you change to Wang Qiang, of course, you can easily handle such simple things and maximize your own interests.

But Lu Bu is only unparalleled in combat power, and in terms of internal affairs, he is not even as good as a village elder.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, and we're ready to go."

Wang Qiang, together with nearly a hundred temporary guards, ate and drank to his heart's content, and just after resting for a while, a steward walked in and said.

The employer has an order, and everyone obeys it.

With such a generous remuneration, of course, everyone must be conscientious.

Because of the cultivation resources and primary exercises, only star coins can be bought.

Ordinary currency, for these rangers, is basically of no use.

They are all awakened people, they all have their own skills, usually go hunting in the wilderness, they can solve their own food problems, and the family is not hungry at all.

What is missing is Star Coins, a large number of Star Coins.

Even a Bronze Star Coin is very important to these rangers.

Moreover, the rangers of the Han Dynasty are very particular about righteousness and reputation, and basically will not go back on their word.

promised the other party's things, and tried his best to do it well.

It is precisely because of this that these loose cultivators can have the title of "rangers".

But anyone who breaks the rules of this title will be hunted down and killed by the rangers of the world, and they will never die.

It is precisely the rules and reputation of the rangers that make all caravans in the Han Dynasty feel confident and bold to recruit temporary guards.

In turn, the reputation that the rangers have created with all their might has also given them a stable channel to earn cultivation resources.

It's about taking what you need and getting the best of both worlds.

Wang Qiang immediately got up with everyone, took the six-stone ironwood bow he had carefully selected not long ago, and carried the quiver with thirty fine iron arrows on his back, and came to the gate of the shop.

It's already a place where people are shouting and neighing, and it's bustling.

The carriages, already loaded with various medicinal herbs, were waiting to leave.

This kind of carriage is not simple, it is engraved with a two-star array of mages "floating array", after the formation is activated, it can be one foot above the ground, dragged by horses and galloped, and will not be affected by ordinary terrain at all.

As fast as the horses go, the carriage moves forward.

Wang Qiang had inquired about a ranger who seemed to be very honest and kind-hearted, and learned that this kind of primary magic weapon carriage would cost one hundred Silver Star Coins, and the price was not low.

But the loading capacity is not small, and it can be loaded with up to 2,000 catties of materials.

There are also intermediate and advanced magic carriages, and the price of each level is ten times different!

As for the magic weapon-level three-star carriages, the number is extremely small, and only some of them are in the imperial court and the family.

However, those are not for sale, and outsiders don't want to buy them at all.

Behind the carts, which numbered more than a hundred, were hundreds of fine horses.

Among them, there are only a dozen scale horses, and the rest are war horses.

Most of the sources of these war horses were the trade between the merchants of Bingzhou and the Qiang people in the west and the Xiongnu and Xianbei in the north.

Although they are not as good as Jiao Scale Horses, they are all one-star high-level war horses, and they can travel 800 miles a day.

However, after these merchants in the state ate Lu Bu's spoils this time, at least for a few years, there will be no shortage of one-star high-level war horses to use.

That's millions of one-star high-grade war horses, Lu Bu himself left up to 300,000, and the rest must be sold all in exchange for various military funds to build his own elite cavalry.

Last year's rush war was a typical Hun fall and Lu Bu was full.

By the time this round of loot is digested, there will be no longer a large army in the entire state that can be compared to Lu Bu.

When the time comes, he will inevitably become the target of the forces of all parties in the state.

If it weren't for the fact that Lu Bu had already married and started a family before joining the army, he would definitely become the marriage object of the major forces.

For a four-star general like Lu Bu with unparalleled combat power, all forces will definitely not lose by marrying their own daughters.

It's a pity that Lu Bu is already married, and his daughters are seventeen years old this year.

After a while, more than 100 rangers here, under the leadership of the steward, came to the edge of this group of one-star high-level war horses and began to choose their favorite war horses.

The hundreds of war horses here have long been tamed, and after selection, just familiarize yourself with them.

The rangers here in Bingzhou, everyone can ride horses, and they are skilled in equestrianism.

Wang Qiang has a high-level riding skill, so naturally he will not be an exception, and his riding skills are definitely the best among these people.

One-star acquired awakeners, nine out of nine have only one or two primary talents, unlike Wang Qiang, all the natural skills are advanced.

The high-level talent upgrade card he obtained was not used because he was not sure about the enhancement goal he urgently needed in the future.

Anyway, the talent upgrade card can be effective immediately after use, and he is not in a hurry, so it is better to keep it as his hole card.

In case of danger, choose to fight hard or run away, and then use it.

If you fight hard, you will naturally choose to upgrade the talent of innate divine power.

But if you want to run, it is undoubtedly a talent for speed.

He guessed that after upgrading his advanced skills, he might get a qualitative change.

Because according to his previous inquiries, intentionally or unintentionally, he learned that the three-star masters are all high-level talents.

The four-star super master turns talent into supernatural powers.

There is a great possibility that once you upgrade your high-level talents, you will get a talent supernatural power.

Wang Qiang continued to use his identification skills towards more than a dozen one-star high-level war horses nearby, and soon selected one of the best.

The quality of the war horse has a great impact on whether or not you can give full play to your advanced riding skills, which must be selected.

No one knows whether there will be horse bandits in this escort operation.

In short, there is nothing wrong with being careful.

After about a cup of tea, everyone chose their mounts.

The remaining war horses were naturally taken away by several men from the merchant and returned to the stables of the merchant.

"Let's go!"

With the order of the shopkeeper of Huiyuan Firm, the huge team began to move towards the east gate of Pingshan Town.

The county seat of Shanyin is located in the northeast of Pingshan Town, and most of the businesses in Pingshan Town are heading towards this road.

Together with the Huiyuan firm, there are two other firms, which are slightly smaller than the Huiyuan firm.

However, they carried wine, cloth, and leather boots.

In Pingshan Town, there are several large wineries, a textile workshop, and a leather boot workshop, and the production volume is not small.

These things are all needed by Lu Bu's army.

Bingzhou is located in a bitter cold zone, and wine is also a military supply.

In heavy snowy days, fine wine can drive away the cold, and it is also a guarantee of combat effectiveness, especially to go north to attack the Huns, which is one of the necessary military resources.

It can be said that since Lu Bu returned from a great victory a few months ago, the powerful businesses in Bingzhou have been trying every means to bite a big bite of fat in Lu Bu's hands and make a lot of money.

In the past thousand years, there has never been a year in which the entire state has been so lively and the businesses have been so enthusiastic.

Everything is a matter of interest.

Peers are enemies, and this sentence is right when.

Of course, the travel of Huiyuan firm will not cooperate with peers, and the partners selected are all unrelated businesses.

Half an hour later, the three merchants merged in Dongcheng to form a very large caravan, and galloped towards the county seat of Shanyin in an orderly manner.

Because both the chariots and horses abandoned the manpower, and the speed of the advance was as fast as possible, and after only a dozen breaths, they disappeared into the distance of the east gate of Pingshan Town.
