Moganshan camp.

Ever since thyme arrived, there has been wine here almost every day.

Dugu Wuliang watched the wine decrease day by day, and his liver trembled and felt distressed. Thyme tasted the fish she had just caught in the lake today, glanced at Dugu Wuliang, and said, "The landlord is a little absent-minded today!"

Dugu Wuliang smiled bitterly: "Yes." The young master has been gone for a while, and the progress of the team's formation is a little slow. ”

"Oh. "Thyme didn't match, and drank the authentic plum wine brewed by Dugu Xun.

"Long Jiejun is okay to say that the spear team has been equipped, and the drill of the formation is also smooth. But the giant shields, hand shields, battering rams, cloud ladders, crossbows and sleeve arrows of the Tiger Army, and the crossbows and sleeve arrows of the Tiger Army had to wait for the drawings of the Qingcheng Mo family before they could start. Dugu Wuliang muttered to himself.

Mo Xueshuang glanced at the thyme and said: "The first batch of heavy weapons such as armor, Mo knife, axe and other heavy weapons of the Xuanjia Army have been transported up the mountain, and the two hundred iron-tire bows and eight hundred purple shirt bows of the white-robed army have also begun to be produced, and it is estimated that they will be matched in about a month." ”

Thyme frowned and said, "What the hell do you two want to say?" ”

Dugu Xun said with a smile: "What do Daddy and Master Mo mean, I want to tell you that I have been up the mountain for so long, and I have drunk a lot of wine, and the seniors of Baili must make some contributions." ”

Thyme said: "Come less, the old man was dragged up the mountain by your girl." You promised the old man at the time, the wine is enough. ”

Dugu Xun smiled: "Enough, enough, absolutely enough." It's just that if the seniors can easily guide the battle array of the Beidou Army, from tomorrow, the wine will be exchanged for ten years of Huadiao. ”

Thyme snorted: "It's clear that it's fifteen years old." ”

"Fifteen years is fifteen years. ”

"Bring me a taste first. Thyme drooled.

"No, I can't. Dugu Xun shook his head and said, "You can complete the battle array of the Beidou Army first." ”

"Okay. Thyme said cheerfully.

Dugu Xun hurriedly ran out of the house and said to the three Yu brothers and Kongtong Sijie: "Set up the formation." ”

Seven people sat cross-legged, Zhao Jia was the Tianshu, Qian Yi was the Tianxuan, Sun Bing was the Tianji, Li Ding was the Tianquan, and the four formed the Dou Kui; Yu Dong was the Yuheng, Yu Xi was the Kaiyang, Yu Shanwei was the shaking light, and the three formed the bucket handle.

Among the seven stars of the Big Dipper, the luminosity of Tianquan is the darkest, but it is the place where the top handle meets, and it is the most important, so it is undertaken by Li Ding, who has the strongest martial arts among the seven, and Yuheng is the main in the bucket handle, and the remaining movement of the second strongest martial arts is undertaken.

Thyme walked out of the room, glanced at it, and said, "The Tiangang Beidou Array can't just have its form, but also its god. This was created by Wang Chongyang, the patriarch of the Quanzhen School, and it was a Xuanmen formation that collectively resisted the enemy. This formation later became the magic weapon of the Quanzhen School, which could be arranged by seven people alone or by ninety-eight people. Every group of seven people, cloth into fourteen Tiangang Beidou array, and every seven Beidou array into a big Beidou array, one is positive and one strange, mutual restraint, each other is the horns, named the Beidou array, is infinitely powerful. Come, Master Mo Zhuang, you come to attack the formation, and the old man will guide them to defend against the enemy. ”

Mo Xueshuang jumped, jumped into the formation, and attacked Yu Dong with both fists. Thyme also entered the formation and instructed the seven men against the enemy. For a while, the two sides fought back and forth.

Gradually, everyone saw more and more of the way. When the enemy once caught in the Tiangang Beidou array, unless one of the seven people is knocked down, it is absolutely impossible to escape, the seven people in the formation are static braking, the head is the tail, the tail is the head, the waist is the head and the tail, and the enemy is trapped in the formation.

After dozens of moves, Mo Xueshuang jumped out of the battle group and said, "The Tiangang Beidou Formation is really mysterious, and Brother Baili is worthy of being a master of the formation." Once you click, the mystery is endless. ”

Thyme smiled proudly and said, "Although the Tiangang Beidou Array is wonderful, if you know the key to this formation and seize the position of the North Star, you will be able to drive slaves with the master, so that the Beidou Array will be bound and cannot be used freely." As he spoke, his body moved, his feet slipped, and he quickly seized the main position, and shot one after another, and the seven people were forced to be in a hurry, and the danger was everywhere.

Thyme stopped her movements and said, "The Beidou Array also has an extended formation, which is called the Eight Formation Diagram. It was created by Sun Bin, a great military strategist during the Warring States Period, and it is said to have been inspired by the gossip diagram of the Book of Changes, so it is also called the Bagua Array. The specific formation is that the general is in the center, and a team of regular soldiers is distributed on each side, and four teams of mobile combat odd soldiers are sent between the regular soldiers to form eight formations. The eight arrays are scattered into eight, and they become one, and they divide and merge to form sixty-four arrays. If the Bagua Array and the Tiangang Beidou Array are combined, transformed into each other, and skillfully transformed, they should become the first formation in the world. ”

"Okay-" Dugu clapped his hands immeasurably, and even Jun Ming, whose eyes were above the top, nodded frequently.

"Okay, let's get here today, you go back and think about it slowly, and tomorrow we'll come back to study the problem of the integration of the two formations. Thyme grinned.

The seven of them clasped their fists and left happily.

Thyme looked at Dugu Xun and said with a shy face: "Ghost girl, go get the bar." ”

Dugu Xun said with a smile: "The wine has already been brought, just behind the chair of the senior." ”

Thyme came to her senses when she heard it, and said, "Okay, you ghost girl." Dugu landlord, you have raised a good daughter. ”

Dugu Wuliang smiled and said: "Come on, come on, today you and I are the four of us, we have to drink and not get drunk and not return." ”

Mo Xueshuang, Jun Buying, Dugu Wuliang and Thyme laughed and entered the house together, and in an instant, the entire Mogan Mountain was radiant because of the gathering of the four gods.

Dugu found that they had a good conversation, no longer bothered, and walked to the big tent of the military aircraft by himself. When I went in, I found that Luo Guanguan was discussing things with Mo Wei.

Dugu Xun stepped forward and said, "Uncle Luo, what are you doing?"

Luo Guanguan saw that it was Dugu Xun, and smiled: "I don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are not at home." I'm having trouble with your Uncle Mo. ”

Dugu Xun said: "What's wrong?"

Mo Wei said: "Recently, the expansion of people and horses has been very fast, and the expenditure on grain, grass, weapons, and armor is getting bigger and bigger. ”

Dugu Xun said: "Have you thought of a way?"

Mo Wei looked at Luo Guanguan and said, "There is a way." I'm just worried that the young master will disagree. ”

Dugu Xun said: "Oh, let's hear it." ”

Mo Wei looked at Luo Guanguan again, saw him nodding, and said: "Now the team has a huge expense, even if the Seven Colors Villa, Tianyi Pavilion and Bafang Fengyulou take out all the family resources, they can't last half a year, and if they want to open up their financial resources, all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, especially the salt road, are the most impressive." ”

The "Guanshan Hai" implemented by Guan Zhong in Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period was about the earliest salt and iron monopoly policy implemented in the history of our country, which made Qi quickly rich and became the first overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period. However, although Guan Zhong was highly regarded by posterity, in the hundreds of years after his death, few people imitated his strategy of strengthening the country, except for Shang Ying, who was determined to change the law. It was not until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the central government became increasingly empty due to the successive conquests of the Xiongnu, and the wealthy merchants of the people "smelted and boiled salt, and the wealth or accumulated tens of thousands of gold, but did not support the urgent needs of the public and the people of Li", which discovered the extreme importance of cast iron and boiled salt to the state taxation, which gave birth to the "salt and iron official camp" policy that had been implemented intermittently for more than 2,000 years in Chinese history.

Mo Wei said: "The so-called salt and iron official camp is to return all the management rights of iron smelting and boiling salt to the imperial court. As far as the salt industry is concerned, salt merchants can only obtain the right to operate the salt industry on the condition that they pay heavy taxes if they obtain a concession from the government. In the southern part of the Yangtze River, the salt industry is quite developed, and the annual salt tax paid is a huge amount. Taking the salt from Hangzhou to Kaifeng as an example, one salt is one tael and one dollar and seven cents, but it has reached twelve taels after adding various miscellaneous taxes one after another. Therefore, after controlling the salt industry in the south of the Yangtze River, a large amount of silver flowed into Moganshan. ”

Dugu thought for a while and said, "What you're talking about is selling illicit salt." ”

Mo Wei smiled awkwardly and said, "That's right. It's just that this requires a competent person, who is familiar with salt merchants and salt roads, not only exquisite, but also able to control the scene. ”

Dugu Xun smiled: "Isn't Mr. Mo talking about me?"

Luo Guanguan said: "If the eldest lady can take on this important responsibility, of course it would be great." ”

Dugu Xun said: "Okay, Manager Mo will first draw up a list of the major salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River." Let me think about it, and I'll get back to you tomorrow. ”

Mo Bu hurriedly said: "That's no problem. ”

Luo Guanguan said: "I will assign the most effective assistant to the eldest lady." Once this is successful, it will definitely be a great achievement. ”

Dugu Xun said beautifully: "Okay! I'll pick the manpower myself." ”

Luo Guanguan said: "A word is a certainty. ”

......

Ma Yangchen took the letter and read it carefully, and found that there was a line of small characters at the bottom of the letter, which read: If you want to protect Tan Wanli from death, Duanyang Ri Tianlong Temple will be for a while.

Ma Yangchen glanced at Dong Lin and said, "You go and see Dong Xin first." Put it here in advance, and Duanyang Day will be seven days later. ”

Dong Lin nodded and left the room.

Mo Fang asked beside him, "What kind of organization is Qianmen?"

Ma Yangchen said: "According to legend, the ancient Qianmen is the ancestor of the deduction of gossip, established by the Fuxi clan.

Let's talk about theft first, many transactions without capital in the world can be classified as theft, whether it is a thief and a rat who walks through thousands of households, or a ringing horse who occupies one side and sets up a flag. Even the alchemists who dig graves in the wilderness and dig graves are considered to be door thieves. There are many schools of thieves, and the ancestors worshiped by each school are also different, and the only thing worth mentioning is the holy emptiness of today's door thieves. It was he who unified the various branches of the thief door and formed the largest force in the outer eight elements. And the thief Tan Wanli is the great apprentice of the Holy Sky of the Thief. ”

Mo Fang was startled and said, "Is Kongkong'er still alive?"

Ma Yangchen said: "It is said that this person has come and gone without a trace, he is eighty-five years old, and he is still alive. ”

Mo Fang said: "The young master is saying that Tan Wanli's fingers were cut off, and he stole the door to clean up the portal." ”

Ma Yangchen said: "It seems that it can only be explained in this way." ”
