In the evening, Song Wen and An Chun bought some cooked mutton or something and went back to the inn, and the bored Daruchi and the two teenagers asked the inn to prepare some meals, and a few people sat in the somewhat gloomy lobby while chatting and eating.

Suddenly, several people appeared outside the door, and one of them said to a young man: "Lang Jun asked the little one to investigate the few people who entered the city today, especially there seems to be a tartar mixed inside." The little one checked around and found that they were staying in this inn. ”

The young man was a little eager to try: "Do you think they will be spies of the Liao people?"

A man with a calm face next to him said, "Xiao Langjun, it shouldn't be a Liao...... In recent years, the border has been much more peaceful, and the Liao people have no strength to harass them in the south. Even if there are some problems, it could be the pirates or the wandering Bohai pirates......"

The young man slapped his fist and ......, "Anyway, it won't be a serious Song businessman, Dengzhou is so poor, who will do a loss-making business?" Let's meet these people and see what they come from! ”

"Xiao Langjun thinks twice......"

Song Wenzheng was writing something in a notebook, using a thin wolf pen with a pen cap, and a small bamboo tube of ink next to it.

I had long wanted to get a pencil or something, but Song Wen overestimated his creative ability, and he didn't have a clue after wasting his strength in Qingshan Village for a long time, so he simply improved the brush.

An Chun next to him suddenly stood up and stood quietly in front of the table to stop a few people.

Song Wen looked up and saw that a high-spirited young man with an excited face and four burly men in civilian clothes looked at his group. Song Wen noticed that these people were all wearing cowhide-soled boots that only officers would wear, just like his own.

"I wonder what you have to say?" An Chun asked unhurriedly.

"Who are you? What to do in Dengzhou? ”

Song Wen got up and replied: "People from Taoshan County on Jingbei Road, come to Beidi to do some business for the palace marshal's mansion!"

"Hahahaha......"

The young man laughed, causing the faces of a few sparse customers in the store to change and quickly hide out.

The young man pointed at Song Wen and said with a smile: "I'll just say that something is wrong with them, a few businessmen dare to pull out the palace marshal's mansion to bluff people!" What do you think is the palace marshal's mansion, where the shops to do business are not successful? You have to deceive people...... Uh......"

The young man also seemed to have some insight, as if he suddenly remembered that the current palace marshal, Gao Yu, is indeed a good hand at doing business and infrastructure construction!

"There are no specialties here in Dengzhou, what business can you do here? The Marshal's Mansion...... You said that you are from the palace marshal's mansion, do you have a certificate?"

Song Wen reluctantly took out the waist card that Gao Yu gave him and handed it over.

The calm guard took it over and examined it carefully, then looked at the young Song Wen with a little puzzlement, and said to his master: "Xiao Langjun, it is indeed the waist card of the palace marshal's mansion!" Still is...... is still a marshal of the palace marquis. ”

"Huh? Really...... Why haven't we received any news from the Sailor Battalion?"

The young man was a little depressed, and the guard beside him bowed down and asked, "I don't know why this Marquis Yu only brought a few subordinates into the Dengzhou Mansion?" Are there any officials from the palace marshal's mansion or the military department coming to inspect?"

Song Wen smiled and arched his hand: "I did go to the north to buy ploughing cattle...... The palace marshal set up some Tuntian Zhuangzi on Jingbei Road, and bought some ploughing cattle to go back so that he could summon them. As for Laidengzhou...... It's really just a matter of rising in the next moment. I don't have any other skills, and I can do business and trafficking to the satisfaction of Lord Dianshuai. ”

The young man arched his hand with a little disappointment: "It's abrupt for me to say this, but there are no special products in Dengzhou, and there is a shortage of food...... But all the way to traffick, people eat horses and feed, and there are bandits and thieves everywhere, which makes those grain merchants miserable, and the cost of transportation is too great! I'm afraid you won't be able to get it......"

The guard next to him arched his hand and said, "Xiao Langjun, since there is nothing to do, please escort Xiao Langjun back to the house, right?"

Song Wen invited: "Meeting is fate, if a few people don't dislike it, I happen to have the hottest Tiandichun soju in Bianliang in recent years, how about inviting this friend to have a drink together?"

The young man was a little moved, but suddenly pointed at Daruchi and asked, "Yes, but why are you following a Tartar?"

Daruchi didn't care about being called a Tartar, but he snorted and turned his head away from him.

Song Wen said with a smile: "Daruchi was originally a member of the Mongolian tribe and worked as a guard for a nobleman in the Liao Kingdom...... Later, I gambled with the nobleman of the Liao Kingdom in Xia, and won by luck in Xia! Therefore, the nobleman of the Liao Kingdom gave Daruchi to me as a personal companion. ”

The young man said excitedly: "Can you win against the Liao?" It's amazing......"

"Uh...... It's not a joust, it's a gambling fight and drinking. ”

The young man was curious: "But what kind of heaven and earth spring are you talking about?" I heard that the Liao people and the barbarians of the northern land are all good drinkers, and they are addicted to alcohol? ”

Song Wen pointed at Daruchi: "He has quit drinking now......

The two of them sat down, and Daruchi and the others all retreated with their fists clenched, leaving only An Chun and the calm guard to accompany them.

"Under the surname Zhang Minghuan, the son of the deputy commander of the Dengzhou Navy Division, and my father accidentally saw your Tartar guard when he entered the city today, and thought that there were Bohai bandits mixed into Dengzhou!"

Song Wen arched his hand and said: "In the lower Song Wen, he was originally a capital in Taoshan County, western Beijing, but later he was promoted by Lord Dianshuai and walked out for the palace marshal's mansion to do business."

Zhang Huan sighed: "It's a pity, the dignified marshal's mansion ...... all day"

The guard next to him suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted his words...... "Xiao Langjun, don't be so abrupt...... This Marquis Yu, now that the Dengzhou Navy Master is making a vacancy, the commander of my family can be in charge of this circumference, if there is anything needed, you can put it forward, and the business of the palace marshal's mansion ...... My family commander will definitely help carefully. ”

The young man seemed a little annoyed, knowing that there was something wrong with his outspoken nature...... This guy in front of him seems to be honest, but if he goes back to the palace marshal's mansion and says to Gao Yu that he slanders Gao Yu and connives, he is afraid that his father will have to get into trouble.

Song Wen thanked him, and then stopped mentioning these things and just talked to Zhang Huanpan.

After drinking a few cups of Tiandi Chun, Zhang Huan only felt as if he was about to fly! Pulling Song Wen and starting to talk again.

"It's not that I'm bragging, if only the court could distribute the silver in full...... Belch...... Our Dengzhou sailors dare to sail the ship to Liaodong! I heard that the ginseng fur over there is very cheap, and those Jurchens have paid tribute to those Liao people for generations...... It's a pity ......."

Song Wen asked, "What's the matter with the Bohai pirates?"

Zhang Huan said disdainfully: "Some goods swaying left and right...... The Liao people don't want to see them either, so let's beware of them. Some went to Liaodong, and some stayed in the Great Song Dynasty as fishermen, anyway, they were a group of white-eyed wolves who were not familiar with it, and they were wild and ruthless. The imperial court sent troops to exterminate them several times, but either they could not be defeated, or they were allowed to flee to the sea or Liao...... It's annoying anyway. In addition to the Bohai people back then, there were also some fleeing Jurchens and Goryeo, and even the Mongolian Kereh tribe and Mongolian Si people...... Raids, robbers, fishermen, and so on. ”

Song Wen asked, "How many of them are there?"

"Big and small mountain bandits or something, I'm afraid there must be tens of thousands of people? Originally, the imperial court thought about appeasing them, but as soon as they heard that they were allowed to go to Qingzhou to farm and serve as an army, they all ran away. ”
