In the sixth year of Zhenguan, the eleventh day of the first month.

Red water source.

This is the first time that Li Chengqian has stepped out of the territory of Datang since he crossed over, and he feels indescribably comfortable in his heart.

It's like a bird trapped in a cage that has regained its freedom.

Like later generations, Chishuiyuan is still a barren landscape.

Maybe ordinary people do seem to be a little more desolate, but Li Chengqian likes the feeling of being high and wide on this day!

Of course, this is because in winter, after the beginning of spring, the new greenery spreads all over the earth, and it will be a different scenery.

When I used to study, I always heard my teacher say that I had never seen a prairie, and I could never truly experience the feeling of boundlessness.

At this moment, Li Chengqian wanted to say, I realized it!

The land is vast and sparsely populated, and it has been an inherent feature of this land since ancient times.

"Childe, I just found the mark left by Ma Ye, which means let's wait for him here." After Zhao Yan came down from a hill, he said directly.

Ma Ye knew about Li Chengqian's trip this time, and since he said that he would let them wait here, he would definitely be able to rush back soon.

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Let everyone rest for a while." ”

This time, Li Chengqian did not choose to take the carriage, since he was on someone else's territory, he couldn't be too careful.

If you are in danger, you can ride a horse faster than a carriage.

Soon, the group began to set up camp.

Whether it's those rough guys or Zhao Yan, it's neat to do this job.

Speaking of which, this day to Tuguhun, it is really a sin, not to mention anything else, just this whistling northwest wind, it makes people shudder. But fortunately, each of them had a pair of leather gloves this time, and the leather cloak was also one for each person.

It's to keep warm.

"Not to mention, the son is more atmospheric than a few shopkeepers, I heard that this leather glove can be exchanged for at least five stones of grain in Chang'an City, not to mention this cloak, my good girl, when have I ever been so extravagant in my life? Dozens of stone grains are beckoned! ”

A group of rough men roasting around the fire immediately started chatting.

For this trip, they are very satisfied.

I haven't made any money yet, but the benefits have already fallen on me.

"Do you compare the shopkeeper with our son-in-law?" Someone said disdainfully, "Have you forgotten what we were like a few years ago?" Although it is said that he did not starve to death, even if the year was the best, when did he eat three meals a day? ”

Since they left Jingyang with Li Chengqian, they have eaten three meals a day, which is evil in the eyes of these people.

But for Li Chengqian, he doesn't care, how much can he eat?

The key is to bring these people to their hearts.

And he used this kind of small means without a trace to slowly attract these people from Li Qinjian and them.

What is the future of following them?

I can't eat enough, so follow me, the danger is dangerous, but the food is full, and the money is a lot to earn, isn't this bad?

Li Chengqian is a person, and his trust in anyone is limited, so there is no psychological burden at all to do this kind of thing of digging into the corners of his own people.

Just as he was burying the pot and cooking, several fast horses came running.

Everyone instinctively raised their weapons, even those rough men, now everyone has a long knife.

It's hard to say whether they will do their best to protect the goods of the Lord's house, but they will definitely do their best to protect their own goods.

Before he came, Li Chengqian said that thirty percent of this business belongs to everyone, plus what everyone wears on their bodies and hands, they are all worth a lot of money, so they can't help but work hard.

Li Chengqian is too purposeful in doing things.

You think that he gives these rough men gloves and cloaks just to keep them warm,, he is just giving them a desperate reason!

Even the value of these things was what he asked Li Qinjian to tell them.

People die for money, birds die for food, this sentence is placed in this era, and it is also quite practical.

"It's the horse industry." Zhao Yan looked at it carefully and said.

When they heard that it was the horse industry, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that I'm afraid, but it's better not to work hard.

"Childe, there is a small tribe twenty miles ahead, and the number is not large, no more than five hundred." Ma Ye said as soon as he got off the horse.

There are actually quite a few tribes of 500 people, even in Tuyuhun, they are actually not small tribes.

"Where is Murong Shun now?" Li Chengqian asked.

Ma Ye said: "It should be in Chishui City." ”

"Should?" Li Chengqian is very dissatisfied with the statement that it should be, it is there, and if it is not there, it is not there, what is the meaning of should?

Ma Ye was also very helpless, and said: "Our people did find out that he was in Chishui City before, but he hasn't shown up since then, but there are people coming in and out of the Daning Royal Mansion every day......"

This is really hard to judge, skip this for the time being, Li Chengqian asked again: "Have you verified the detailed explanation before?" ”

"It's almost verified." Ma Ye said, "All the details are right, it is Murong Shun's person, as for who Chang'an is and Murong Shun's purpose, I don't know for the time being, it is estimated that only Murong Shun himself knows." ”

Nodding, Li Chengqian didn't ask more, these answers will be clarified one day. At that moment, he turned to everyone and said, "Hurry up and eat, when we are full, we are going to do business." Listen, we're going to do business, not robbery, put away your greedy eyes.

Of course, if you really want to meet someone who is not long-sighted, when it's time to do it, don't chirp with the girls, people are ready to rob you of the copper coins in your pocket, pick up your clothes, then you have to fight with them! ”

Well, the word pocket, they don't understand, it seems that the clothes at this time are not in the pocket.

But they can understand the word copper coin!

As long as you can understand these two words.

Filling their stomachs, everyone packed up and continued to set off.

Twenty miles of land, it was only more than half an hour's work, and everyone arrived.

In order to show his goodwill, Li Chengqian specially asked Li Qinjian to go to the tribe to inform him first.

The key is that he found that Li Qinjian, an old guy, can actually spit out nonsense!

If you don't let him go, who will go?

But Li Qinjian didn't mind.

He really thought that he was here to do business, and in the spirit of businessmen who have the courage to take risks for the sake of profit, he went to other people's tribes with a big grin.

And when Li Qinjian went to say hello, Li Chengqian rode on a horse and carefully observed the tribe.

Judging from the tent alone, it is true that there are not too many people, and I didn't ask much before, but now I have the opportunity to ask: "Are there many of their cattle and sheep?" It's far away, and I can't really see it. ”

"It's not much, they have been unlucky in the past few years, snow disasters year after year, they Khan can't take care of them, I heard that there are more than 1,000 people in this tribe a few years ago."

Li Chengqian nodded, this is a good thing.

You are not bitter, it is not difficult, what am I going to do? Aren't I here to send warmth?

As for Murong Shun, hehe, since you have hit me with the idea, then don't blame me for being rude.
