Xinjiang Road is the northwest of the Song Dynasty. It is rare to see a large army. Unless the border troops rotate, no soldier will be seen. If there is no large army outside, the soldiers will starve to death.

The Song Dynasty stipulated that soldiers who were not in tokens were not allowed to appear alone on Xinjiang Road. If there were any, no store was allowed to provide food and drinking water, and they must also report to the official. If they were hiding and not reporting, they would be punished the same.

This is the best way to stop deserters. As long as the deserter leaves the army, he will not be able to eat any food. Any store and the people will act as the court's eyewitness. When he sees deserters, he will report to the government. The reporter will always get money.

Money is not a small amount, who doesn’t care about the windfall that comes with?

The appearance of Beiwei Army gave the people in Anjufang a great deal of words. This is a good thing for merchants, but not for Mrs. Gu. She opened a shop. After the merchant bought the goods, she left early and had no profit.

But at least there is still a way out. For example, some businessmen's things are not easy to sell in the army, so they still have to live in the store. As long as there are people living there, she will have money to make.

But now there are constant large armies appearing, and the big characters on the flag are constantly changing, from Beiwei Army to the White Army, from the White Army to the Japanese Army, Tianwu Army, Long Guard Army and Shenguard Army.

The emergence of the strongest heavy armored cavalry in the Song Dynasty may have been here for training, but the appearance of the Shang Fourth Army means the beginning of the war. The Shang Fourth Army is the central imperial guard of the Song Dynasty. They have two responsibilities in total, one is to protect the capital, and the other is to support the border army when the war comes.

Now that the Beiwei Army is coming, the Tabai Army is coming, and the Shang Fourth Army is coming, it means that the war is coming.

The Anju Square was quiet. Even if the army had passed, the people in the square kept their posture like clay sculptures, and even the expressions on their faces did not change. They were shocked, and everyone looked at the army outside the window in horror.

With a rumbling sound, a fat man sat down on the ground: "It's over! It's over! The government is not using troops to Tianzhu, but Seljuk. Now the northwest trade route is completely cut off, and I can't sell these seven or eight carts of silk!"

"What a mourning thing? I have more goods! Everyone, Lao Zhang, take a step first, we will meet again if we are destined to do it!"

After saying that, Lao Zhang, wearing a brocade robe, got up and left, and scolded the guy to get a car quickly for him. Finally, everyone realized that when would he not leave at this time? It was not going northwest, but going in the direction of the journey.

There is a saying among merchants on the Silk Road that they do not go back, and businessmen pay attention to a spirit of courage and never giving up on their own goals.

They are not afraid of the hardships and fatigues on the road, but are afraid that the courage in their hearts will be gone and they cannot continue to walk. Then all their efforts will be wasted, and the previous sins will be in vain. Therefore, this saying "Don't go back" is the saying.

But now it’s different. You have to leave even if you don’t leave. You have to rush back to the Guanzhong area of ​​the Song Dynasty as quickly as possible, preferably the Shendu City, so that you can sell the goods on the car.

Some people have a delusional hope to deliver the goods before the army arrives at the border, but they are quickly awakened by others.

"You are dreaming of eating meat! How fast can you have the strength of the cavalry? Our soldiers of the Song Dynasty are famous for their iron feet, and traveling a hundred miles a day is no problem! You are going west now, and before you can walk halfway, the army has arrived at Hengluo City. At that time, the city gate will inevitably be locked and the market will be banned. Not only will you not be able to sell it, you will also have to pull back again... It will be a loss of half!"

This is true. Merchants seek profit. In this case, the best choice is to take the goods back. Even if you buy a little cheaper one, you can sell them. If you make less money, you will be considered as donating taxes to the court.

It is better than losing money in Hengluos City. Who knows what Hengluos will look like when the two countries are fighting?

As they spoke, several people hurriedly left. The originally lively Anjufang became quiet. Mrs. Gu stared blankly at the empty building, shouted and rushed to the inner yard to start packing things, but stopped halfway through the things. Her man Zhang Liulang not only did not panic, but instead sat leisurely in the yard basking in the sun.

"You dead man, why don't you pack up quickly? Don't you know there is no one outside?"

Zhang Liulang smiled and said, "What are you doing when you pack up? They will leave when they leave. We can't leave. After so many years of food and drink, we can't make a fortune by breaking this family business. If you take it away, you can leave? Are you willing to bear it?"

Mrs. Gu hammered Zhang Liulang: "You are always so heartless. After the dead ghost in my family left, you helped me support the family business, but you never told me any ideas..."

Zhang Liulang got up from the soft collapse, stretched his waist and smiled, "Since I have taken care of you for so many years, you should know my goodness. Put down these fine and soft things and hide them. I will go to the front to take care of it. There must be supplies for the army to pass through the border, so those who can transport the supplies do not need to rest?

Let’s clean up the store and then go to find the officials of the Road Administration Office to say that our shop will inevitably be converted into a station. If we don’t make money from businessmen, we will make money from military soldiers. Isn’t it the same? I can’t make more money!"

Mrs. Gu's eyes suddenly lit up. The current military soldiers are no longer as good as the bandits in the past. Besides, the military soldiers are camping and do not enter the store. Only laborers who transport grain will come. They send food to the military soldiers every day and get rewards and leave. As for laborers and stay in the hotel, there is nothing to say.

The expenses in the store must be kept in charge of the court. This was the case when he used military service and was not wrong now!

"You are smart, much better than that dead ghost, but you are more fortunate. After all, I am a widow, so it's not easy to greet those soldiers in front of you."

Zhang Liulang's eyes were filled with a spirit, and he looked at Mrs. Gu and said, "I will prepare something to marry you tomorrow. After this matter is over, I will go to the yamen to change the household registration. Let's live a life openly!"

Mrs. Gu nodded: "I didn't respond to you before. I was worried that you would leave one day. Now that something happened, you won't leave, so I will follow you!"

Zhang Liulang was "picked" by Mrs. Gu. It is normal for a person who was seriously injured to die on the northwest road. However, since the man died, Mrs. Gu's heart has become very hard, but after all, she can't stand the person dying in the wind and sand, and her own man died in the wind and sand.

But unexpectedly, after being rescued by her, she stopped leaving. She still lived in the store and gave her advice. The size of Anjufang can reach today is thanks to him.

The two of them took care of each other, one was to save their lives and the other was to support them, so they lived... but they never had a title.

The last layer of window paper was pierced, and Zhang Liulang laughed: "This is natural! Where else do I want to go when I guard you, a beautiful girl? If I leave, wouldn't I become the biggest fool in the world? I won't mention all the old things, and when I cut off the past, I will live with you here in Anjufang forever!"

Mrs. Gu was shocked: "You still have to go?! Let's live like this! Didn't your things be thrown away?"

Zhang Liulang did not answer, but looked at Fengsha in the north and silently...
