The junction of Beidi County, Xinping County and Dongqiang Tribe.
The setting sun is like blood, and the wind and sand are everywhere.
Damn weather like this always appears here in Huangsha City from time to time.
"Hululu" The snort of the heavy war horse sounded leisurely, and on the rolling mountain ridge, a horse appeared like a ghost.
The knight was dressed in Chinese clothes, with a sword on his waist, a long spear on the horse, and a long bow slung on his shoulder.
A feathered arrow poked out from behind his shoulder, piercing the sky.
If Xiao Tian, who was a scout, was present, he would definitely be able to tell at a glance that he was also an extremely good scout.
"call" The knight stopped his horse and stood on the mountain ridge like a wolf, staring at the bottom of the mountain with his sharp eyes.
Not far from the bottom of the mountain, there is a lively market.
Qiang people came and went here to sell furs, livestock, genuine medicinal materials, and exotic jewelry, while Han merchants brought silk, salt, iron, tea and other products from the Central Plains to trade with them.
This trading place was the exchange that Mengda was asked to build with funds from Fufeng County when Ma Chao was in the military grassland.
But later, because Fufeng County experienced the Li Kancheng Yin Rebellion, Ma Chao quickly transferred Meng Da back to Fufeng to take charge of government affairs.
Therefore, the construction of this exchange was shelved.
But I never thought that in the days when Meng Da was away, the Qiang people of the Eastern Qiang, the people of Xinping County, and the Liu family of Beidi County took the initiative to complete the remaining projects, and opened up mutual markets and transactions here, and the initial capital economy Here, the initiative slowly sprouted, and the border market town actually prospered rapidly.
At the market, a Qiang man looked around and took off the tiger skin he was wearing as if nothing had happened.
He waved it three times in the air and started selling it loudly: "Tiger skin, good tiger skin, buy it early."
The Han people saw that the tiger skin was really good, and soon they gathered together in front of the Qiang people.
But when they saw that the Qiang people did not have a fixed stall, they all shook their heads and left.
The Qiang people were very confused.
They thought that the tiger skins they had worked so hard to fetch could be sold at a good price, and they would buy some new Han things for their mother-in-law and son.
However, those Han people actually saw so many people that they sold them.
There are few people.
This made the man puzzled.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were no buyers around him, he quickly found a Qiang man who had a stall and asked about it.
It turns out that this place has been in operation for more than a month.
At first, the Han people were short of money and cheated, and the Qiang people almost led their troops to raid the exchange.
Later, the Qiang people also learned to pass off inferior goods as good ones and pass off fake goods as genuine ones, so that the soldiers from Beidi and Xinping counties almost took over this lair again.
Helpless, both sides were afraid of the power of the Ma family in Fufeng County.
Finally, Ma Chao, the eldest son of the Ma family, came up with an idea to establish a chamber of commerce composed of Han and Qiang people to adjudicate trade disputes that occurred in the exchange. .
Small matters will be decided directly.
If big matters escalate to the point where someone dares to deliberately damage the good and normal trade of the exchange, they will have to accept the collective crusade from Xinping County, Beidi County and the Dongqiang tribe.
Even the eldest son of the Ma family even made bold statements.
Wanxiliang Iron Cavalry is ready to help the Chamber of Commerce to suppress illegal traders at any time.
In Xiliang, who has the ability to provoke the alliance of the three counties and two tribes?
Therefore, later, those reputable vendors gradually set up fixed stalls here in the name of their masters: such as Baima Qiang Zhongjian The leader’s Baima stall, Qingyi Qiang Ri Valley’s Tsing Yi stall, Beidi County’s Liu’s stall, Fu’s stall, etc.
As for the Qiang people who only come to buy and sell occasionally, they can go directly to the chamber of commerce to sell.
If they think the price is unfair, they can also go directly to the stalls that need it.
Those stalls not only sell items, but also purchase them.
As for someone like him who sells goods independently, he has no credibility at first glance, so people are naturally unwilling to buy from him.
The Qiang man suddenly realized this and immediately went to the Chamber of Commerce.
Fortunately, the price given by the chamber of commerce was also suitable.
The Qiang people were too lazy to go far, so they sold it directly to the chamber of commerce.
Then he learned the lesson and went straight to the stalls with the names on them, bought some Han clothing, food, as well as wooden horses and wooden swords for children to play with, and left happily.
On the mountain ridge, the Hanfu knight saw all the Qiang people's actions, his eyes turned cold for a moment, he turned his horse away, and quickly hid behind the mountain ridge.
Half an hour later, a knight in brightly-colored Han costume appeared on the mountain ridge again like a ghost.

The previous scout beside him whispered: "General, this exchange has been in operation for a long time and its assets are very rich.
If we rob this Pens can not only replenish our food supply, but also make a lot of money.”
Poor scout, he could only see from the size of the exchange and the behavior of the Qiang people that the exchange was very prosperous, but he couldn't figure out why the exchange could operate so smoothly.
And the general in bright armor didn't seem to be a guy who was good at thinking.
After hearing the scout's report, he held the sharp sword in his hand and swung it forward.
After that, a group of cavalry appeared like shadows behind the general, all holding long spears in their hands.
The sharp blades of the spears cast a dazzling cold light against the setting sun.
"Haw woo woo" Set up on the watchtower outside the market, the sharp-eyed officers and soldiers stationed on the mountain ridge immediately discovered the cavalry and immediately blew the horn to warn.
For a while, the low and loud horn rang through the sky.
"call out" An arrow flew through the air and shot coldly through the throat of the police officer.
"Well" The officers and soldiers let out half screams and fell down from the watchtower.
The low and desolate horn sound suddenly stopped.
"The thieves are coming, the thieves are coming," the sharp-eyed merchant shouted: "Damn it, if I know which tribe has cut off my wealth, I will definitely let the leader destroy these bastards."
A waiter in Liu's stall next to him was also very angry: "You Qiang people are just unreasonable and dishonest.
You are not satisfied with how much food this exchange has made you."
The Qiang man suddenly became depressed, but after a while, he became furious and shouted: "Fuck you, open your eyes and take a look.
That's our Qiang troops.
It's you treacherous Han people who are making evil plans."
The guy looked up and saw that the thieves were all dressed in Han attire, and he was immediately speechless.
He muttered in a low voice: "What blind fellows dare to offend Mao Xiliang's family?"
At this time, the shopkeeper of the stall became anxious and slapped the guy: "No matter whether he is a Han or a Qiang, if he dares to rob the trading house this time, he won't live long.
You kid, hurry up.
Go and inform the county governor.”
After hearing this, the Qiang man was also shuddered and didn't want the goods.
He immediately led his horse and galloped towards the north: "Damn it, if I don't let the leader destroy you bastards, I will be a Han from now on."
It was only then that the residents and businessmen in the center of the market finally came to their senses.
I don't know who was the first to shout.
In an instant, the entire market exploded.
People were running for their lives in panic.
Vendors were overturned, teahouses and wine tables were overturned.
Materials and goods were scattered everywhere.
The entire market was in a mess. s: Mr.
Yao Yi is here again.
He comes as soon as he comes, and he even gives gifts.
This makes me so embarrassed.
Next time you come, remember to give me more shameless smiles:
