Taozhou, Lintan.
The head of the Yeli tribe, Notoshio, sent an envoy again, and they reiterated their anger at Zhang Chao's enslavement of their people, and lodged a serious protest against it.
"Our patriarch demands that Taozhou immediately release more than 2,000 of our clansmen and return them to our tribe.
At the same time, return their property.
In addition, for the murdered clansmen, Taozhou must give an explanation, each person needs to compensate 100 catties of tea, plus our clansmen are frightened, you need to compensate us a total of 10,000 catties.
Now four catties of tea can be exchanged for an ordinary mare in Jiangxin City.
This compensation is enough to buy nearly 3,000 horses.
Notoshio is quite good at opening his mouth.
Zhang Chao couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.
"Otherwise?"
"What," the Noribe man didn't expect, and his vicious threat was only exchanged for such a fluttering word.
"I said, if I don't promise to release my slaves and compensate you, in fact, I don't want to pay attention to your unreasonable demands, what are you going to do?"
Zhang Chao looked directly at the messenger.
His head was braided, the top of his head was bare, two large rings hung on his ears, and he wore a stinking sheepskin robe.
The face is black and red, with the characteristics of plateau red.
This envoy obviously didn't expect Zhang Chao to react like this, and hummed for a long time before shaking his head, "If you don't agree, five thousand soldiers of my Yeli Department will set foot in Taozhou."
"Hehe, this was said by your envoy last time.
Last time, that person was the same as you, wearing a torn sheepskin jacket, dirty and smelly, I guess he hasn't taken a shower for a few years, I advise you, next time I think of other threatening words.
By the way, you remind your chief, next time you send someone, remember to let people change into clean clothes, and then wash their bodies, when they come out, it represents the face of your tribe, what is dirty and smelly, not to disgrace your tribe. ” "I recommend you to go to our city market shops to buy some things back, silk, cloth, soap, perfume, those are all good things, if you don't know how to make clothes, go directly to the ready-to-wear shop and buy two ready-made clothes.
If you like to wear leather robes, there is a special leather clothing store in our city, specializing in all kinds of leather clothing, sheepskin clothing, cowhide clothing, camel leather clothing, both good-looking and strong, fashionable, empty and comfortable, the leather has been specially processed, there is no slightest smell of skin, but there is a fragrance. ” "When you buy it, remember to tell the store, just say that I Zhang San recommended you to go, and they will definitely give you a preferential price, at least you can get a ninety-eight discount."
The messenger stood there and was counted down by Zhang Chao's sarcasm, and everyone was stupid.
It took a long time to come back to his senses, but several Tang Army guards were already driving him out.
Standing outside the yamen, the envoy of the Yeli Department was ashamed and ashamed.
He couldn't help but secretly smell his body, there was indeed a smell, he hadn't taken a bath for more than half a month.
The leather robe hadn't been washed in years.
Look at the Han people coming and going on the street.
Many of them were dressed in bright silk, and the material was quite silky at first glance.
There are also many ordinary people who also wear cloth clothes.
Although it is not as good as silk, the material is also very fine, and it must be very soft and comfortable to wear.
And when these people pass by, they are very clean, and they can even smell some fragrance.
Look at people's shoes and hats, mainly black leather boots, as well as soft feet, when the wind blows, two strips of cloth will be raised, especially chic.
"If you don't go to the shops of the Han people, even if you want to find out the situation in the city of Taozhou."
Wu Cub persuaded himself like this, and then took the four party members to start walking around Taozhou City.
There were four Tang soldiers with knives who followed them all the time, but they were seven or eight paces away, and they did not come up to stop them, and let them walk.
The black cub began to walk along the front of the state ya, the state government of Taozhou is the center of the city, and this street in front of the yaqian is called Yaqian Street.
It was the first to complete the renovation of the market.
The old layout has changed beyond recognition, a straight street, and the first floors on both sides of the street have been converted into shops along the street.
All kinds of shops, restaurants, tea houses, restaurants, dim sum shops, and various trading houses, as well as money houses, pawnshops, silk shops, cloth shops, grain stores, etc.
The black cub was dazzled, I really didn't expect that this place would be so prosperous and rich.
The cub is a brave warrior of the Noribe, riding a horse and shooting arrows.
But I have never seen such a lively and bustling Han market.
The streets are full of pedestrians and street shops are densely packed.
Food, clothing, and walking, everything.
There are even special carriages for rent in the city, mules and horses, if you just walk around the city, you can even rent donkeys, there are special donkey leaders waiting on the street to pick up passengers, pay a few pennies to sit on the donkey, depending on the distance and add money.
In addition to the shops, there are many vendors on the street, some selling food, some selling needles and threads, and even selling dogs, chickens and ducks.

The cub had brought some gold with him, which he had grabbed the last time he had come with the tribe.
He took the gold and went into a silk store.
Shoot a nugget of gold and "Bring me a bundle of silk." ” The shopkeeper called a guy and asked him in Chinese, "What does this smelly retarded mentally retarded man say?"
"He said he wanted silk, a bundle."
That guy is a fan, and he knows all the words of Qiang and Xianbei.
The shopkeeper smiled at the cub and said, "Go and call this fool, take him to the bankery to exchange gold, and then bring him back and sell him more silk."
If the business is done, I will reward you. ” When the man heard this, he smiled and went to greet the cub, and he told the cub that gold could not be traded directly, and the shop was not allowed to accept gold and silver, which was the rule of the government.
Gold and silver need to be exchanged at the bank or bullion shop first, and then it can be traded.
"Then go to the money village and lead the way."
The black cub said very proudly, he knew that gold was very valuable and could buy a lot of things.
Along the way, he had already taken a fancy to many things, and planned to buy more to go back.
The guy took a few cubs and came to Zhang Ji Qian Zhuang not far away.
"Give me this ingot of gold and exchange it for copper coins" The black cub took out the gold and slapped it on the cabinet with a snap.
The teller behind the fence glanced at the shop guy behind the black cub, and the guy hurriedly translated.
The teller took the gold and examined it carefully.
To distinguish the authenticity, but also to check the ingredients, scraping powder and needles, and using scales, immersion in water, after repeated and various methods of inspection, he reported the composition of the gold, as well as the exchange standard.
"One tael is exchanged for seven thousand copper coins, and this gold nugget weighs seven taels and eight coins, and can be exchanged for fifty-four thousand six hundred coins.
However, according to the regulations of the government, the Han people exchanged silk for more than ten times, and the Fan people had to exchange silk for more than 10 times. ” The guy translated with the cub.
When the black cub heard that it could be changed to silk directly, he was a little surprised, "It turns out that silk is also sold in the money village?"
"Silk is a silk fabric, but it is more plain, and the silk sold in the silk shop is still different, and the silk shop sells more types, and the colors and colors are better.
Silk can be used as money, and a silk horse is worth 200 yuan. ” "Why is it so troublesome, isn't it good to spend gold directly?"
In the end, the cub agreed to exchange only 600 copper coins, and the remaining 54 pieces were exchanged for silk, which was enough to exchange for more than 200 horses.
"There is a handling fee of 2 percent for silk and 3 percent for copper coins."
The counter said nonchalantly.
A handling fee of 18 wen is charged for 600 copper coins, and a handling fee of 5 and a half pieces of silk is charged for 270 pieces of silk.
The cub muttered a few words, but still exchanged it.
"So much silk, let's call a car."
The guy said with a smile, although there are only twelve taels of silk, but more than two hundred, it still occupies a lot of space.
The guy went and called a car, and said that it was a half-day package.
"One hundred wen" The coachman was not polite, knowing that it was a fan, he slaughtered him fiercely.
After loading the silk into the car, the man took people back to the silk shop, and the shopkeeper kept selling all kinds of silk to the black cub, what kind of silk is the most comfortable to wear as a leather robe, and what kind of silk is the coldest to wear.
In the end, the black cub was stunned by the shopkeeper's words, but kept nodding his head, buying, buying, buying.
By the time he came to his senses, he had already bought a pile of silk and half of the silk.
Then the black cub found liquor, found soap, and found spiced beef jerky.
Sitting in the drunken fairy building, drinking liquor and eating sauced beef, as well as stir-fried vegetables, the black cub wanted to cry, what delicious things, what kind of stuff did you eat before.
Beef and mutton stewed and boiled, how can there be fried and marinated delicious.
After eating, I bought two bottles of wine and cut a few catties of sauce beef and a few catties of spiced jerky.
There are still so many shops that I haven't visited, and there are so many things I haven't bought, but I can feel my pockets, and they are empty.
"Go back" The black cub is a little reluctant to go out of the city, next time, I will come again.
Several government soldiers watched the black cub and his party go out of the city, and immediately went back to report.
"Saburo, do you think this Noribe is really going to come to find trouble?"
Governor Sima Su Dingfang asked, he was new to the roof and did not participate in the battle when he destroyed the Ligang tribe last time.
But when I heard that the Yelixiong tribe was one of the eight major tribes of Dangxiangqiang and had five thousand knights, I was still a little worried.
Five thousand knights, not five thousand.
A knight is a party leader, and 5,000 knights are equivalent to 5,000 party soldiers.

It's a very strong force, and if they do attack, it's really worrying.
Zhang Chao just smiled.
"Actually, I'm really looking forward to the wild tribe coming to find trouble, if they dare to call, I can't wait for it."
Su Dingfang was puzzled, "Why?"
"Because I found that I am quite short of manpower now, building military palaces, forts, building roads and bridges, cultivating wasteland, and there is a shortage of manpower everywhere.
I'm also planning to build a new large-scale slaughterhouse and processing plant, but I don't have any workers yet.
If Notoshi dares to come over without his own strength, it just so happens that we have slave labor again. ” "But Yeli is strong and strong, not to mention that there are many other Tuyuhun tribes around, if they come together, how will we deal with it?"
"And the imperial court is sending a messenger to see Tuyuhun Khan to discuss the matter of peace, if we fight at this time, it will not be good."
Zhang Chao said disapprerovingly, "As long as it's not a full-scale war and border friction, it's really normal."
Friction friction, point conflict, misunderstanding or something, it's not a big deal.
Don't underestimate us, we have ten military governments and 9,000 people, and there are also township regiments and civil defense, as long as Ye Lixiong dares to cross the border, I guarantee that he can't eat and walk around, and if he doesn't pick up a few layers of skin, how will other people know in the future?"
"If you want to make people honest, it's right to beat them with your fists."
Su Dingfang could only smile bitterly at Zhang Chao's astonishing remarks.
This is Taozhou, everything Zhang Chao has the final say, since Zhang Chao said that he wants to teach a lesson, then what he Su Dingfang needs to do is to find a way to fight this battle.
No, it's friction, and we must do a good job of this friction t1706231537:
