The wind is strong and the sand is abundant, and oasis is scattered in the desert. This is the northwest of the Song Dynasty. Although it is not suitable for growing crops, many cities have appeared like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Not only is it not deserted, it is very busy. A large number of caravans travel through it on the ground, and you can also see the existence of a year-long courtyard from time to time. These are inns for merchants to rest.

There are many caravans, densely packed and bustling. The ancient road is not desolate. From time to time, familiar caravans greet each other in a familiar way.

These caravans drove carriages and slow horses to provide the Song Dynasty with a steady stream of wealth and also brought exquisite goods to the people of all over the country. The circulation of goods has always been the basis for dialogue between the Song Dynasty and various countries in the world.

The inn on the roadside said that it is an inn, actually like a foot shop for people to rest. Brewing wine in the desert is a luxury. They will buy wine from the main store to sell it. Now the merchants of the Song Dynasty can brew wine at will, and no one will care whether the wine you brew complies with the rules of the Song Dynasty.

Because the court no longer restricts the sale of alcohol and drinks, this is a policy implemented since the year before yesterday. The court is only responsible for collecting taxes on alcohol from these stores, of course, the premise is that your alcohol can be sold.

The people of the Song Dynasty had high requirements for wine. Simple rice wine and fruit wine could no longer satisfy them. Even if ordinary people gave them the right to make wine, they still had to buy wine from the official wine shop in the Song Dynasty.

The cost of the official wineries is relatively low, with large output and mature technology, so they have great competitiveness in price. It is not that the private wineries do not produce good wines, but on the contrary, their wines are also quite good, but the cost is relatively high.

Moreover, many folk wineries were annexed or jointly operated by official wineries, so it seems that the imperial court opened up winemaking, but in fact it is the same, and even the difference between foot shops and main shops is retained.

The foot shop is a shop that buys wine from outside, while the main shop makes wine from home, so the rules have not changed at all.

When a car of large urns filled with wine appear, they always receive cheers from guests from all over the country. The most in the northwest is money, but ordinary things are very scarce. A large amount of wine is also a good thing to relieve fatigue along the way.

But you must never drink when you leave Hengluo City. There is no dangerous thing in the Song Dynasty. If you go abroad, you can't say it. If you drink too much, your eyes are blurred and you are deceived, you don't know where to cry. After all, Seljuk's yamen will not make decisions for merchants in the Song Dynasty.

Of course, it is common for Seljuks to be deceived in the Song Dynasty. Even if the prefect of Peking Prefecture knew that it was a dirty thing done by a idle man in the Song Dynasty, he would still be biased towards the people of the Song Dynasty. It was nothing else, and the country was just proud.

"Sister Gu! Is this bringing drinks again? The goods from there!"

People who have good deeds sit by the window of the restaurant. This is the northwest and it is normal for people to be open. Besides, if there are no means, who can still gain a foothold here?

"It goes without saying that it is from the official business. You can taste it now. If there is any mistake, you will smash my Ankefang, so as not to say that I will redeem water in my store in the future!

If there is no mistake, you have to settle the accounts for the past few days. Yesterday I saw you trembling out of the gambling shop. Is it not to wear cotton coats or not to catch a cold?"

People around him burst into laughter: "It's more important to say that he must have lost!"

"Hey! I won't win back one after another, but you don't be jealous of me then!"

Mrs. Gu's face changed and pointed at the boy and cursed: "You still have to go bet? I've saved face for you. If you go bet again, don't live in my inn. Who doesn't know that Mrs. Gu never takes in a bad gambling ghost?"

The boy got into the room in shame. This kind of thing was too common in the northwest. There were people who had money, and some people who lost money were also lost money. However, most people who often heard that some people got rich, but only saw people who lost money.

"I followed Lao Zhang from Shendu City. The government is going to use troops against Tianzhu. Once we win, we can leave Tianzhu?"

"This is natural. I already know that the large truck convoy from Ningxia had already brought news a few days ago. You were still on the ** at that time! Now, the court finally made up its mind to attack Tianzhu, and it would not allow us to wait and wait."

"Ah!~~"

The two businessmen were talking, and Mrs. Gu next to her screamed, her voice as if something was wrong. But when she saw that her clothes were neat and had no appearance, everyone was surprised.

"Who killed me and stole the pickled vegetables I had dried outside! I swallowed the pickled vegetables that were half-dried and half-wet, and I was not afraid of death!"

Everyone laughed again. It was obvious that the unscrupulous man stole the pickles from Mrs. Gu's own house. Although this thing is not valuable, it is a rare green vegetable in the northwest. Even Mrs. Gu is not willing to eat it on weekdays.

rumble…………

There seemed to be thunder coming from the sky. Everyone looked into the distant sky, but they saw that the sunny day and cloudless day, the experienced Taoist merchant's face changed. He bent down and his ears touched the ground, and he quickly stood up and walked towards Anjufang.

The person next to him quickly grabbed him and said, "What's wrong with you?"

The merchant said with a ugly expression: "It's not a drought thunder, it's a cavalry, a brigade of cavalry, and chariots and horses. This momentum is not something that ordinary caravans can do, but it's a cavalry of the official family."

As if in response to his words, you could already see the rolling smoke and dust in the distance, and the "thunder" became louder and louder, and the ground began to tremble like a powerful force that destroyed the world.

The people who were chatting outside Anjufang just now rushed into the yard like an arrow hitting the butt. The army finally appeared. The shiny armor radiated dazzlingly in the sun. A big flag was raised high and there was a mighty dragon on it. The dragon vividly outlined a large Song character.

"Dragon Flag! It's indeed the King's Master! Looks like he came from Ningxia."

No one asked him how he knew, because a smaller flag appeared behind him, with the words "Beiwei" written on it. The Beiwei army was stationed in Ningxia Road for training, and almost all the merchants from Anjufang came from Ningxia Road.

The army seemed to be unable to see the head. The Beiwei Army was full of cavalry and was very fast, but even so, it took nearly half a day to pass. The merchants in Anjufang were already stunned. There were at least 100,000 cavalrymen.

"Is this a conductor from Xinjiang Road?"

"Well! It's probably true. Now our goods are sold. The government army has no shortage of money. After two days, we can clean up the items in our car. The Beiwei Army is a generous one. Lao Liu, who bought Shujin, once met the Beiwei Army camped, and in one day, he bought the hundred Shujin on the car. "

"This is good! We can also save ourselves from running north, and the Seljuk people's sins are really uncomfortable."

Mrs. Gu twisted her waist and walked over. Seeing that everyone's eyes were falling on the smoke and dust outside the window, she shouted dissatisfiedly: "Okay! OK! In this way, I have to charge more room money, so that you won't leave and let me drink the northwest wind here!"
