Chapter 194: Fierce Beast Teeth (Three Watches)

Jingwu has three major cities, Jianye City as the national capital, naturally the most huge, but also because it is the center of Jingwu power, among which the garrison army is also the most, although Qin Ke has not entered the barracks, but also knows that there are 20,000 Qingzhou ghost horsemen and 50,000 Jingwu infantry troops in Jianye City, respectively, in different military camps, into a corner, arch to defend the royal city.

Jiujiang City is in the north of Jianye City, although inferior to Jingwu, but the terrain is open, the passage is unimpeded, and there are four large saltwater lakes, and the annual output of salt can supply one-third of Jingwu. Nine veins of water flow through the city and beyond, and the big ships come and go on the water day after day, hence the name of Jiujiang City.

Sitting on the advantage of fish and salt ships, Jiujiang City has naturally become the largest commercial town in Jingwu.

If Jianye City is a place where powerful people gather, then Jiujiang City is a place where businessmen gather.

At that time, Zhang Mingqi's father Zhang Tong was just a small businessman who inherited his father's business, but he relied on his business acumen to become one of the largest businessmen in Wu for ten years in Jiujiang City, and later donated Jing Wu's armaments.

Even though Zhang Tong has now been removed from his official position, stripped of his title, and confiscated his family property, his affairs are still talked about in Jiujiang City. For every businessman who enters Jiujiang City, what he thinks most about is how to get rich, and Zhang Tong is undoubtedly an example for them to learn.

People die for money, birds die for food, what if the end is gone?

"It's so lively. Qin Ke led the horse and walked in Jiujiang City, feeling the streets that were more crowded than Jianye City, surrounded by people, and vendors with stalls could be seen everywhere on both sides of the road, shouting loudly in a clear voice.

The route prepared by Zhou Gongjin for Qin Ke was to go to the Tang Kingdom with the caravan, although the Jiayuju was destroyed, but there were secret agents set up by Zhuge Wanling in the Tang Kingdom, constantly collecting news about the artifacts in the Tang Kingdom, so Qin Ke also made up for the affairs of these merchants during this time, so as not to show too many horses and feet when he got it, so he knew a lot about these merchants.

Most of these are small merchants from other countries, they don't have much capital, and it is impossible to lead the fleet to unload and load goods in the port one by one like those big merchants, but they also have a bit of ingenuity: if they can't do a big deal, they buy some small items from the Tang Kingdom, Canghai Kingdom and even the Great Wall, such as: bone flutes, wolf teeth, sandalwood, jewelry......

These things are easy to move, only a burden can be taken away, and it is not common in Jingwu, naturally some businessmen are willing to collect goods from them and go to some cities in Jingwu to sell, they come and go, the capital in their hands is enough, and they can consider doing a larger business, and making a fortune is just around the corner.

Although this road is thousands of miles, not necessarily all smooth roads, in the troubled times, bandits are rampant, and most of the big bandits and those rich businessmen have paid some money, and they only need to pay the "protection fee" every time, and they can lead a huge caravan to pass. And the little bandits didn't dare to rob these big merchants, so they only dared to find these businessmen like rootless duckweed.

Between the mountains and forests, I don't know how many dry bones.

"Blood Demon Fang!" While Qin Ke was pondering, there was a merchant's shout in his ears.

Qin Ke had seen Mulan, Su Dingfang, and those burly soldiers from the Great Wall, and knew that the strength of the Great Wall was enough to compete with any country in the world today, but such an iron army maintained extremely high battle losses on the Great Wall year after year, and he didn't know what those fierce beast blood demons from the "unknown land" looked like.

Thinking of this, Qin Ke led the black wind and slowly approached the vendor.

At this moment, there were already many people in front of the merchants, each with their own expressions, but they were all judging the Blood Demon Fangs. Qin Ke's gaze passed through everyone's shoulders, and he was first taken aback when he saw the dozens of fangs scattered on the stall.

The teeth were not big, but they were small, each as thick as an adult's index finger, as white as snow, but sharp as far as everyone had imagined, and when the merchant carefully grasped one end, and slashed it on a piece of linen with the sharp end, the linen was cut in two without making any tearing sound, and when he found another stone, put the fangs against the stone, and struck the end with another stone.

The fangs brutally broke through the hard stone, like a nail, and sank deep into it.

He wasted a long time, but in the end he still couldn't pull out the fangs, so he simply took another stone directly, knocked it many times, and finally smashed the stone open, the fangs inside were not damaged at all, and the tips were still as sharp as needles.

Qin Ke took a breath of cool air, just with such teeth, he could feel the terrifying beast of the Blood Demon, and what was even more terrifying was that the fierce beast of the Blood Demon never acted alone, every time it was dispatched, it was like a large army, how did the forces of the Great Wall fight against this kind of thing for thousands of years?

After the merchant finished the demonstration, he smiled and said to the crowd: "Let's take a look." This is specially bought by me on the Great Wall, this blood demon is a fish that slipped through the net, and after being injured, he crossed the Great Wall, but died at the door of a farmer's house, I also grinded with my fellow villagers for a long time before receiving it, on the side of the Great Wall, this is a good military supply...... You can also see that this blood demon tooth is extremely sharp, even the fine iron may not be comparable, of course, this thing, either made into an arrow, or a hidden weapon, even if it can't work, it can also be made into jewelry to ward off evil spirits, old and young masters, don't you say?

Two taels of silver, enough can be said to be a month's income of ordinary people, if this is to buy all the teeth, everyone still thinks it is affordable, but it can be said that two taels of silver, he said that it is expensive or not, naturally it seems a little ridiculous.

The people around shook their heads for a while, and some people mocked: "Isn't it just a few teeth, two taels of silver, why don't you grab it?"

The merchant was not angry, but said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't force it, I buy it if I want to, and I give up if I don't want to, and I am not afraid that no one will know the good things." At this point, he continued to shout at the top of his voice, "Blood Demon Fang!"

A moment later, Qin Ke led the horses and walked down the bustling streets, looking at the bundle of blood demon fangs in his hand, and smiled slightly bitterly.

He didn't know how he had bought these Blood Demon Fangs by mistake, although the merchant still gave him a half discount in the end, one tael of silver, but the twelve Blood Demon Fangs still cost him twelve taels.

Maybe it's because I just bought a good bow and just need to buy some arrows? What is the difference between this and those big girls' families who are busy buying matching skirts and embroidered shoes after buying a hairpin?

Qin Ke shook his head and tried his best to throw this twisting and pinching idea out of the clouds.

It's just that a pot of arrows can be bought at the weapon shop, and it's only two taels of silver, although these blood demon teeth are powerful to make arrows, but Qin Ke always feels that he is a little impulsive.

"I should have asked Brother Su for some ......," Qin Ke muttered, "He came from the Great Wall, and he may have a lot of this stuff with him...... But I heard that this blood demon blood is poisonous, I wonder if there will be some poison on this tooth?"

After all, if you buy it, you can't return these teeth, Qin Ke took one last look at these white fangs, and simply stuffed them into the bottom of the burden, and didn't think about it anymore.

When he gradually went deep into Jiujiang City, he was naturally greeted by all kinds of shops and dazzling colors.

He asked someone for directions, and the person listened to Qin Ke's narration with a strange expression, and even responded to him with a very ambiguous look, which made Qin Ke extremely confused.

And when he had walked about two miles east, as the man had said, and then turned into another street...... He finally understood what that look meant.

Here it is...... Countless green buildings.

After all, Qin Ke can be regarded as a person who has seen the prosperity of Jianye Dadu, and he will not be so surprised when he sees this scene, thinking that the merchants are busy all year round, from south to north and from west to east, sleeping on the road, and beware of bandits when crossing the mountains, and finally come to Jiujiang City, they will think about "relaxing".

With these merchants who are willing to spend a lot of money, the Qinglou Villa in the city is naturally very "appropriate" like bamboo shoots after the rain, and they have broken the ground, and now, each one seems to be thriving, and the lights are endless, I don't know how many blocks are covered......
