After the Daimyo's Mansion, there were more people on the road, and the people who had fled during the war gradually returned, and the garrisons of the original three counties retreated, and there were many more officers and soldiers here than before.
In addition to the ordinary people who carried their shoulders, there were also many people who were richly dressed and had foreign accents.
"Why are there so many outsiders," one of the people asked puzzled, "it doesn't look like they are fleeing." ” Besides, who fled to their place, on the border of the north, the Jin army gathered, although it is said that there is no war now, but it is still very scary.
"What are you fleeing?"
A passer-by shook his head, "How can anyone fleeing dress like this, these are businessmen." ” As long as there are people, there is business, which is not surprising, but the east and west roads of Hebei have been very strict in the past ten years under the rule of Chengguo Gong.
Of course, the Northland can do business, but the Chengguo Gong strictly controls their separate registration, and demarcates the place of doing business, and the random movement between the state capitals needs to be reported, and the Tunpu border is not allowed to approach.
"It's different now."
Someone whispered, "Qinghebo said that the northern land has been fighting for many years, and it is necessary to make the people rich and prosperous, so that the soldiers can be strong, so the businessmen are busy." ” The people don't seem to understand.
"What business do we have to do here?"
Everyone shook their heads, "It's so dangerous, and I'm not afraid of losing all my money." ” "Who knows, anyway, businessmen are the most profit-seeking, and since they have money to make, they are not afraid of anything."
The passer-by spread his hands and said, looking up at the front, "Look at how many people are waiting in line at the checkpoint over there." ” Although it is said that businessmen are allowed to move around freely, the checkpoints are still very strict, and many people are refused to be driven away.
"Master Sun, we're just going to do a business, why don't we let it go," the rejected people asked with sad faces.
The general who was called Lord Sun looked indifferent.
"There's no reason."
He said.
Very good, the general is a veteran at first glance, and he is deeply influenced by Cheng Guogong's set of tyrannical methods.
However, now it is not under the rule of Cheng Guogong, and Cheng Guogong has also rebelled and fled, and he is still playing tricks, and the businessmen who were blocked outside the checkpoint did not disperse immediately, and they were noisy outside.
The heavy wool curtain hung down, and the noise outside was suddenly cut off.
"Look, this curtain is different."
A man of about fifty with thin eyebrows and a long face pinched the curtain and said in a thick southern accent, "It's a good thing." ” One of the generals sitting in the room sneered.
"A broken curtain is a good thing."
He said, snorting and taking a large sip of tea, lifting his legs and feet up on the case, the armor on his body rattling, and this rough movement conveyed shock.
"Lord Song, don't underestimate this broken curtain, take it to our south, you can earn ten dollars with one piece."
The man whispered.
General Song laughed again.
"Ten bucks," he laughed.
"In business, money can be big or small, as long as it is money, you have to look at it."
The man said with a smile and sat down opposite General Song, "So Lord Song, in your eyes, this northern land is barren, but in our eyes, there is money everywhere." ” General Song pinched his beard and snorted twice.
"I'm a soldier who doesn't understand you."
He said, his narrowed eyes flashed, "I only know that the place you are going to is not suitable, there are not many broken curtains near the three counties of Baozhou, Xiongzhou, Bazhou, etc., are you going to do business with the Jin people?"
Doing business with the Jin people in the north is a big crime of being recognized as a spy and being arrested and directly beheaded.
The man was not frightened by the threat, and still sat quietly.
"My lord's words really hurt me."
He smiled and said, "Adults can fight against the Jin people without fear of life and death, although we love money, but compared to life and death, money is nothing, my lord, you are not even afraid of life and death in front of the Jin people, and we will never trade with the Jin people for a few money." ” General Song expressed his satisfaction with the touting, and changed the posture of the legs that were crossed on several cases.
"It's good to know."
He said, "Don't touch something you shouldn't do for money." ” The man responded with a smile, leaned over slightly and took out a handkerchief to sweep the dust that did not exist on General Song's boots.
"My lord, these boots have been worn long enough."
He sighed.
General Song sighed.
"How can there be so much military spending on clothing, and being able to eat and weapons is the most important thing."
He said.
The man nodded in response.
"Our family is in the fur business, and there is nothing else, there are so many of these leather boots and leather clothes."
He said sincerely, "Winter is coming, I hope the adults and soldiers can wear warmer, not much, only two cars." ” He said and pointed out.
Through the half-open window, you can see two cars parked in the yard, piled high and tightly covered with cloth.

General Song narrowed his eyes.
"Okay, then thank you on behalf of the soldiers."
He said, raising his hand and pulling a piece of paper from the boot and flicking it, "Remember to do business honestly." ” The man was overjoyed and respectfully stretched out his hand to take it, and gave a deep salute.
"Don't worry, sir."
He said sincerely, "We know, without a stable life, we have no business to do, and we can't make money." ” The man respectfully withdrew, and the general did not move, and after a while, a scribe came in outside, whispered two words to the general, and seemed to say something happy, and he couldn't help but laugh at first.
The general also smiled and glared again.
"Be reserved, look uninformed."
He said.
The little official hurriedly suppressed his laughter, but then puffed again.
The general didn't blame him, and his crossed legs shook rhythmically.
There was a jumble of footsteps outside the door, accompanied by the sound of blocking.
"Master Sun, you can't go in."
"Lord Sun, Lord Song is resting."
Hearing this voice, the comfort on Lord Song's face suddenly disappeared.
"Adult, small one to deal with him."
The little official hurriedly said.
Lord Song kicked a few cases away and strode out, and a soldier who had already pushed away the block stood in the courtyard, and stopped when he saw Lord Song coming out.
"Lord Sun, what's the matter?"
Lord Song asked nonchalantly.
Master Sun looked at him.
"Why are these merchants allowed to go to the border?"
he said.
"What is a private release" Lord Song said coldly, "Now that the north is stable, people who do business are just walking around, why don't you let go?"
"Now that the Jin people have penetrated deep into my northern land, we must strictly investigate and prevent spies from sneaking in."
Master Sun said.
Lord Song shook his head.
"I said Xiao Sun, it's not right for you to think like this, people are just doing business, how can they become spies" He said, "Think about it, you have become spies, let the Jin people Huo Huo Beidi, what good are they, this is not self-defeating, these businessmen are not stupid." ” Master Sun looked at him with a solemn expression.
"You underestimate these businessmen, they don't care about anything for the sake of money, as long as there are enough benefits, they dare to kill themselves."
He said, "Lord Song, you don't know, this is a lesson we learned with blood."
Lord Song's face changed suddenly.
"I just said that Lao Tzu has never fought or killed an enemy, as if he doesn't understand anything."
He was furious and stretched out his hand to General Sun, "The surname Sun is for you, let me tell you, when Lao Tzu killed the gold thief, you were still breastfeeding, you know a fart." ” Master Sun's face stiffened, and he suddenly walked to the two cars parked in the yard with a few steps, and tore off the cover before everyone could react.
Lord Song and the little officials exclaimed in surprise.
The cover was uncovered to reveal a pile of leather jackets and boots on the car.
"What are you doing," shouted the little official, jumping a few steps, "this is for the winter of the brothers, and the adults remember that the brothers specially asked for those merchants."
Before he finished his words, General Sun raised his foot and kicked it in the car.
His strength was so great that the car that seemed to be full was kicked to the side, accompanied by the exclamation of the little official, the car overturned with a bang, and the crackling leather boots and leather clothes fell to the ground, which was mixed with white flowers, so that the eyes of the people in the yard were shaken.
That's a silver brick.
In the scattered leather boots and leather clothes, there were silver ingots and silver bricks.
There was silence in the courtyard.
"Lord Song, I don't know what this means" General Sun looked at Lord Song and said coldly, "Could it be that Lord Song also asked for money for the businessman as the brothers' salary."
Lord Song's face was white and red, and he suddenly raised his eyebrows.
"The surname Sun, you do your business well, and be less nosy."
He shouted.
"Song Zhijie, do you know what you're doing, you're aiding and abusive, you're going to destroy the foundation of the North," General Sun also shouted, looking angry, and stretched out his hand to point at General Song.

"I'm helping to abuse" Lord Song's face turned ruthless, and he raised his hand and waved, "Take it for me" The soldiers in the courtyard who were in a daze came back to their senses, and without hesitation, they pounced on Lord Sun and held him down.
"What do you want to do," Sun shouted angrily.
"What do I want to do, I still want to ask what you want to do" Lord Song's face was gloomy, "You led people to prevent the flies in the checkpoint from passing, and the complaints spread all over the place, did you send a message to Chengguo Gong and his son to let them avoid being arrested here?"
Sun Da's face turned red.
"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous."
He shouted, struggling.
Lord Song didn't give up and stepped forward.
"Say, did Cheng Guogong contact you, did he let you do this" He shouted, his eyes shining, "Sun Zhan, you are the one who has been with Cheng Guogong for ten years" "Lao Tzu is not a person who has been with anyone for ten years, Lao Tzu is a person who has fought for ten years for the Great Zhou, he is a general, Lao Tzu listens to him, if he is a thief Lao Tzu is not wrong, Song Zhijie, you are framing him" General Sun shouted angrily.
Lord Song looked at him condescendingly.
"Whether it is framed or not, it will be clear if you check it."
He said coldly, waving his hand, "Take it away." ” Regardless of Master Sun's struggles, the soldiers gagged him like wolves and put him down.
"It's finally clean."
The little official smiled complimentarily at Lord Song, "It's still an adult." ” Lord Song snorted.
"When we are soldiers, we are reasonable."
He said, "Whoever has a big fist nowadays, and who can't see clearly, deserves to be unlucky." ” After that, he looked at the silver scattered on the ground and raised his hand.
"Pack these up and send them to Qinghebo."
He paused at the thought of something.
"Remember to keep some for us for the New Year, it should be suppressed, and the reward should still be rewarded."
"Adults are wise" and the little officials responded happily.
The checkpoint has been left far behind, and the road ahead is smooth, but the driver did not urge the horse to gallop, but looked back.
"I'd rather not get by."
He said.
The coachman looked very sloppy with an old face, a thick hat covering his unkempt hair, but his voice was gentle and clean.
"Dad, I know what you mean."
The bearded man riding a horse on the side stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "We can come over like this, and other businessmen can also come over like this, they pay so much money, naturally they will not throw it away in vain, they must be recovered." ” As for how to make money, in the face of monetary interests, people will be crazy and don't want the bottom line.
The coachman looked behind him for a moment, but did not sigh again, but looked at the bearded man.
"Miss Jun has never heard from her."
"Maybe it's fine," he asked. ” The bearded man smiled.
"Daddy, you don't know that little bunny."
He said, "If she's safe, he'll let me know how to gloat, and if she's a little bad, this kid won't want me to be a hero and save the beauty." ” "Maybe at this time, he knows that you can't be a hero, and if you go, you will add to the chaos."
The coachman said softly.
The bearded man exhaled and shook the whip in his hand.
"Heroes are different."
He said, "Let's go where we need to be heroes." ” Then urge the horse to gallop.
The coachman did not speak again, but raised his hand and shook it gently, and the horses were in the wind, and the men and horses in front and behind them moved with it, shouting slogans, and running forward like all caravans
