The small street is lined with shops of various shapes, and the pungent smell of camel dung fills the air, which is very sour.

Spices from West Asia and the Western Regions, local livestock from Hexi, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, silk, tea, etc. from the Central Plains can be seen on the streets. However, only the best-selling silk was not put on display.

In fact, this is also very understandable, because it is too popular and belongs to incomparable hard currency, so there is no need to show up at all, and after completing the transaction, you can naturally go to the corresponding pickup point to pick up the goods.

This is the same reason as Fang Chongyong's mobile phone experience store in his previous life, where mobile phone molds were often displayed as appearances.

Anaya wore a cloak and covered her face with a silk scarf, and followed closely behind Fang Chongyong. She can't show her face, because here, the orchid is not a "person", but a commodity. Just now they passed by a shop run by a "human trafficker".

All the slaves were like animals, selected by potential customers. But obviously, not many people see it, and even fewer people buy it.

There are more than 30,000 Han people in Shazhou in the account books of the Tang Dynasty, close to 7,000 households, in fact, more.

If you count the huge number of hidden people of the local large households, the Hu people of the tribes next to the city and the Hu merchants who come and go, the total population of Dunhuang is less than 200,000.

With such a large population, it is inevitable that it has caused great pressure on the local natural environment, and it has also made the local people's rules for the use of resources reach the level of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

So much so that all daily necessities on the market are lacking and expensive.

There is a shortage of water, food, silk, cotton and linen, and even white thorns and tamarisk for fire, but there is no shortage of people!

In Dunhuang, the population is the least valuable!

"Boy, whether this orchid behind you can be sold or not, I will give twenty horses of beads to the peacock pattern brocade, if you are willing to sell it, I will send someone to get it now."

On the other side of the street, a young man who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old pointed to Anaye behind Fang Chongyong and said to him.

"I don't want money, I'll give it to you!"

Fang Chongyong pulled Anaye in front of him, but did not push her over.

The man obviously didn't expect Fang Chongyong to say this, so he immediately bowed his hand and saluted respectfully:

"The contemptible Yan Dynasty has seen Fang Envoy Jun. My father and the local big family in Shazhou wanted to wash the dust for the descendants of the world-famous Fang Jieshuai, and asked Fang Envoy Jun not to refuse. The banquet was three days later. ”

He took out a prayer note from his arms, presented it with both hands, and handed it to Fang Chongyong.

"Three days later, I will go to the small town for a while."

After reading the post, Fang Chongyong nodded slightly and said, there was no joy or anger on his face.

The surnames of Dunhuang are mainly Zhang, Suo, Song, and Yin, and some are not very famous, such as Yan. These local tycoons with big surnames are still easier to deal with than the local tycoons of the Central Plains, because the war environment they face is much harsher than that of the Central Plains, so they are relatively low-key in their local behavior.

Deliberately moving to a "small town" to live in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts with ordinary people and Hu merchants.

Fang Chongyong wandered around the "commercial street" in Luocheng, and he could be found by these local families, which is enough to see that the local people in Dunhuang are much more complicated than those in Ganzhou.

"Lang Jun, you really wanted to send me out just now!"

Anaya took off her veil and asked as she looked at Fang Chongyong with a sad expression.

"A pair of beads on peacock pattern brocade can probably be exchanged for thirty to fifty ordinary pieces of cloth, exchanged for copper coins, and it is also twenty times the start, which is the best brocade from the Central Plains.

Others exchanged twenty horses for peacock brocade in exchange for you, a native girl in Hexi, either trying to rob or looking for me to have something to talk about, how could it really be possible to pay this money.

He is tempting me, and why am I not tempting him? ”

Fang Chongyong sighed, Anaya is probably really the illegitimate daughter of Li Yi, the king of Xin'an, and has no concept of money.

People spend hundreds of dollars to buy you, a native girl from Hexi, it is better to keep this money and find those orchids with big breasts and buttocks locally, and you can find ten.

Isn't it moist, isn't it cool?

How rare!

"Oh, it scared the hell out of me."

Anaya said with palpitations, and hurriedly put on the veil, for fear that someone would find Fang Chongyong to ask for her.

"I've seen almost, let's go back."

Fang Chong said with a smile.

The group rode back to the medicinal spring less than ten miles away from Luocheng, Fang Chongyong gave himself a good bath, and then in the narrow study, he thought about the problem of Dou Lujun.

He didn't have a way to get money out. The situation here in Shazhou is very special, it is useless to rely on brute force alone, and you can't talk about your feelings.

This "shopping" can be described as a combination of joys and sorrows.

The good news is that the local economy is active, and there is a lot to be done to make money.

The worry is ...... There is no way to make quick money, unless the Doulu army is sent out en masse to rob a team of more than 1,000 Hu merchants. But if you do this, it is tantamount to offending all the local forces in Dunhuang to death.

Fang Chongyong's shoes were stained with camel dung, and there was a strange smell on his body, he couldn't come back without taking a bath, and the cost of taking a bath here was not low!

The business environment in Luocheng is like this, thousands of miles back and forth in the desert, human life is like paper, and there is not so much exquisiteness.

There is no business for more than ten years, and the businessman has changed one stubble after another, and there are buried bones everywhere.

Since this is such an environment, why bother too much? How convenient and how to come!

Although Fang Chongyong was a assassin, he did not rush to order the rectification of the dirty streets on this side of Luocheng.

Existence is reasonable, and since people here have played like this before, there must be a deep reason. It's like Buddhism here is much more prosperous than it is in Ganzhou.

A lot of things don't appear out of nowhere.

The same is true of the situation of the Doulu Army.

Fang Chongyong called Anaya over, this Hexi native girl was still washing clothes by the medicine spring just now!

"If you mess up this time, I'll take you to elope to the Western Regions, and we won't go back to Datang."

Fang Chongyong suddenly asked.

"Is it really that serious?"

Anaye asked suspiciously, she rarely saw Fang Chongyong so cautious, and he even thought of a way out.

"Well, it's just that I'm a little annoyed by Brother Ji, what a dog emperor!"

Fang Chongyong sighed and cursed, pressing his elbow on Anaye's shoulder. He only dared to say this to Anaye, because their fate was one.

Mader! It's really not good, set a fire here in Dunhuang and run away with your sister-in-law.

Fang Chongyong already had a plan in his head that was not a plan.

He is not an ancient, and he is not a dog for Li Longji, what is he afraid to do?

Don't treat Lao Tzu as a person, Lao Tzu is directly not a person!

Fang Chongyong suddenly made up his mind!

……

Just the day before the local clan of Dunhuang feasted Fang Chongyong, since Luo Cheng opened the city gate, the atmosphere was so solemn that it exploded!

The Doulu Army, who has always had a very low sense of presence in Luocheng and doesn't come forward to take care of things on weekdays, has almost all the dispatches that can be dispatched, and carried out a "clearance operation" in the most important commercial street in Luocheng!

All merchants, travelers, and pedestrians are not allowed to appear within 10 steps of the street! Violators will be killed!

It's like martial law!

At the gate of the city, Wang Sili led a group of elite soldiers of the Doulu army to greet him in a solemn and neat procession.

And Fang Chongyong was at the forefront of the team entering the city, and behind him were carriages full of silk silk. is also the elite soldiers in the Doulu army, and this style is probably only comparable to Brother Ji's arrival in Dunhuang.

"Wang Jun, this official does what he says, last year's winter clothes, this year's spring clothes, one-time to make up for Doulu Jun!"

Fang Chongyong clasped his fists at Wang Sili and saluted!

At this moment, his slightly short height looks extremely tall in the eyes of the Doulu generals!

"The generals of the Doulu Army obey orders!

Now go to the big camp, and the official will pay the military salary!

No one is in arrears, they all follow this official! ”

Fang Chongyong shouted at the Doulu sergeant not far away!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

I don't know who started, all the soldiers of the Doulu army were so excited that they beat the ground on the other side, as if beating a drum, and warmly welcomed Fang Chongyong into the city with a baggage.

is worthy of being the son of the world-famous Fang Jieshuai, it's really interesting to step on a horse! It's 108,000 miles stronger than those dog officials in the imperial court!

In the past, such a big battle in Luocheng was only available when the oversized Hu merchant caravan entered the city, but at that time, it was not the Doulu army that made a disturbance, but the local merchants who rushed to buy goods.

The scene is often chaotic.

Those Hu merchants' money, Doulu Jun couldn't even get a piece of cloth, so they didn't care if there would be any robbery and stampede accidents at the scene.

But this time is different, this time, the carriage entering the city, the horses loaded are all the military salaries of the Doulu army!

Every piece of cloth belongs to their gang.

If any thief wants to come out to steal without opening his eyes, he doesn't need to be arrested by the Shazhou Mansion, and the angry Doulu Junqiu will end the gang of thieves.

No need to judge, kill like a chicken!

Wang Sili walked to Fang Chongyong's side by side, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Fang Envoy, there's no problem, right?" ”

"Don't worry, as the envoy of the Doulu Army, you have to do something."

Fang Chongyong said nonchalantly.

This time he played too big, in case he couldn't cover it, then he took Anaye and ran away to the Western Regions. When the time comes, lay down a big harem and give birth to thousands of babies!

Fang Chongyong has already let go, he understands very well that if he spares his life and does not play with his life, this level will not be passable.

When the convoy transporting silk silk entered the barracks, Fang Chongyong saw that the Doulu soldiers who were still maintaining order on the street just now had already lined up on the school grounds, waiting for them to distribute last year's winter clothes and this year's spring clothes!

If he had this kind of enthusiasm for everything, Fang Chongyong felt that he could lead this team to fight all over Hexi's invincible opponents!

"Envoy Fang, say a few words to the soldiers."

Wang Sili's respectful counterpart stepped in and saluted.

Today is Fang Chongyong's home field, no matter what means the other party uses to get so many silk silks, anyway, Qiu Ba only looks at the result.

Fang Chongyong brought them military salaries, this ten-year-old boy is a grandfather, even if he is rude and full of swearing, in the eyes of Qiu Ba, he is also "righteous and uninhibited".

If you don't have any money, then even if the envoy of Hexi Jiedu comes, it has to be a grandson, and honestly go cool!

"Before, no matter what the reason was, the military salary was in arrears, anyway, the official was not in Shazhou at that time, and I couldn't control it.

But now the official is the history of Shazhou Thorn, the spring clothes and winter clothes, the rewards for military exploits, all the same, as much as you want, you will not owe a penny!

As long as this official is the history of Shazhou for a day, this will work! If the official doesn't count what he promises, you just dismantle my bones!

Without further ado, let's start paying! ”

Fang Chongyong waved his hand and beckoned Yan Zhuang to lead a group of government officials to give Doulu sergeants last year's winter clothes and this year's spring clothes!

Either you don't do it, or you can do it impeccably!

Fang Chongyong was very worried that the Doulu army would not be able to get the military salary and mutinied, so that the Tubo people would take advantage of the situation and the situation would collapse to the point of being out of control.

So at this time, drinking water to quench thirst also has to make up for the military salary, and smashing pots and selling iron can't treat these Qiu Ba who are fighting with the Tubo people on the front line.

"Envoy, make up for last year's winter clothes, the soldiers are very satisfied, after all, it is a common practice. Even the spring clothes were distributed on time, and the government was only afraid of ......"

Wang Sili lowered his voice and asked in a low voice to Chongyong.

"The soldiers have resentment in their hearts. What should be done is only to keep them from mutiny. Now that my Datang and Tubo are in a fierce confrontation, what the soldiers need is not only not to mutiny, but to make meritorious contributions to kill the enemy!

Only by making up for this year's spring clothes can it be regarded as fulfilling the obligations of the court and the government. ”

Fang Chongyong said with emotion to Wang Sili.

Now that it has ended, the military affairs of the Doulu Army naturally have to be done to the extreme.

Anyway, it's useless to send half and leave half, so why not stud?

What the hiccups want is a surprise! Double the joy to get them excited!

is only issued with winter clothes, doesn't that prove that he is also the same as those Shazhou thorn histories that rotated like horses in the past?

Fang Chongyong had already figured it out.

"Thank you Fang Yuanjun, the family is saved."

A soldier of Doulu, who had received a military salary, suddenly stepped forward and bowed gratefully.

"Go ahead, don't want your mother-in-law's."

Fang Chongyong crossed his waist with one hand, and waved his other hand casually.

His appearance looks a little funny, but in the eyes of the soldiers of the Doulu Army, he is a good man who is down-to-earth and righteous!

In the eyes of the local Qiu Ba, although Fang Envoyjun was young, he was a hundred times stronger than some court officials who were vegetarian in the corpse position.

……

The matter of paying military salaries was busy until the evening. The Doulu army, which had been reluctant to send people to Yaoquan to protect Fang Chongyong and his party, deliberately selected a hundred elite soldiers who were the most capable of handling affairs and the most capable of fighting, and escorted Fang Chongyong all the way to Yaoquan, and camped here, and did not return to the station.

Returning to the "guest house" designated by the imperial court, Fang Chongyong, who was already tired, lay on the Taishi chair and enjoyed Anaye's massage service, physically and mentally exhausted.

"Is things going well today?"

Anaye asked in a whisper.

"What's wrong with that, isn't it just the payment of military salaries."

Fang Chongyong said angrily.

Today is a pure pretending force during the day, and he does have the capital to pretend to be forced.

Of course, the best days are just today.

Pretending to be cool for a while, the follow-up troubles have just begun.

"The military salary has been paid, the soldiers of Doulu should be grateful to Lang Jun, what are Lang Jun worried about?"

Anaye asked suspiciously, she couldn't understand why Fang Chongyong looked even more decadent today than the other day.

"Alas, those are useless, come on, come here, here, pinch my face, I have facial cramps from smirking too much today."

Fang Chongyong said impatiently.

This Hexi native girl, don't you ask where these military salaries come from?

What a fart, it's true that you're ready to pack up and run!

Fang Chongyong had already planned it.

If you really can't hold back, then pack up and run away to the Western Regions, and definitely don't "cause trouble" to Brother Ji.
