In the summer of 1941, the mainland passed across the peninsula and the Lei family boundary.

At noon, it was the time when the sun was most powerful. The hot sunlight was as hot as before, making people sweat and dizzy.

At this moment, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and most of the business trips who went out gathered under the shade of trees on both sides of the road to temporarily avoid the power of the sun.

At the fork in a certain road, there was an open space with two lush branches and leaves. The clever villagers had already set up an open-air teahouse here.

Although this teahouse is just four bamboos that support a piece of rag to cover it, there is not even a table or stool inside, and there is only rice balls and boiled water for food, but due to the advantage of the location, the business is still very prosperous.

Now, dozens of carriages were parked around the side, and nearly a hundred people stopped here. In addition to the group of passers-by, there were also seven or eight groups of vendors.

Although, because the weather is very hot, everyone is not in a loud mood, but they are chatting in groups of three or three.

A rumbling sound came, and everyone looked up and saw that there were more than a dozen carriages rumbling towards them with dust in the sky.

Seeing that the dust was getting less and less, the teahouse owner immediately understood that the other party was about to come here to rest. He scolded the guy with a smile on his face and was ready. He had already begun to calculate how much money he could earn from this group of businessmen.

As the teahouse owner predicted, these dozens of huge carriages drove off the road and entered this leisure area.

The teahouse owner was about to step forward and approach, but was startled by the scene in front of him. When the coachman in a carriage was dressed more beautiful than his boss, the coachman threw dozens of copper coins with his nostrils facing the sky and said, "Come thirty buckets of water to feed the horses!"

The teahouse owner was shocked and actually bought water for horses. Isn’t he too rich?

However, he also happily put away the copper coins and returned them. Anyway, such people would not buy their own rice balls, so it would be better to sell some money.

As the carriage began to be placed in the open space under the care of the coachman, more than a dozen strong men carrying swords and swords jumped off the carriage, first glanced at the people present, and then began to form a guard formation. Then two pretty maids walked off the carriage, lay a mat in the shaded area and put on tea and snacks.

It was not until this moment that a middle-aged man wearing silk clothes and a proud and contented expression got off the carriage under the anticipated gaze.

Seeing the man's pomp, everyone present looked at him carefully.

These rural folk thought they were powerful figures, and they all lowered their heads nervously and did not dare to say anything. After looking at the middle-aged man, those businessmen curled their lips disdainfully and started talking.

A maid over there, a slap in the cold, a maid poured tea, and two door god guards behind him. The middle-aged man sitting on the mat resting, although he was dissatisfied with the merchants not taking him seriously, he didn't say much, and joked with the two maids on his own.

"I said, brother, what kind of goods did you buy this time?"

A middle-aged man with a fan to cool himself, looking dark and thin, wearing short-sleeved and open-breasted clothes, walked over and stood outside the mat and said to the middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes.

When the middle-aged man in the gorgeous clothes heard this, he first glanced at the dress of the middle-aged man in single clothes, his lips trembled, but he still said with a smile: "There is no goods, I just made more than a dozen cars of specialties from the Ultraman Empire." His tone seemed to be indifferent, but there was a sense of pride.

"A dozen cars? Okay, now the empire is in chaos, and the imperial specialties are valuable. Just a little change of hands will be several times the profit. Alas, I can't do it anymore, so I just got a car of machetes." The middle-aged man in single clothes shook his head and sighed.

"Machete?"

The middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes, who had a look of complacent look, immediately jumped up in surprise, and the people who heard this were also shocked to look at the middle-aged man in single clothes.

"Yes, if I hadn't had the capital, I wouldn't have had to get one car. Now, that car is so poor that I can't even afford to change the car to four wheels." The middle-aged man in single clothes pointed to a two-wheeled single carriage casually.

At this time, a young man who was waiting for the horse in front of the carriage grinned and lifted the curtain to reveal the metal objects tied with straw inside.

When everyone saw what really existed in front of him, including the middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes, was respectful. Although the Lei family did not restrict commercial activities, they strictly controlled the military supplies like other princes, so the merchants who could conduct arms trade were all amazing guys.

The middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes dare not underestimate this middle-aged man in single clothes who looks like a coolie, so he hurriedly welcomed him into the mat.

Which guy from the businessman around him is a fool, and immediately leaned over and got close to him. After a news report, the middle-aged man in China said to the middle-aged man in single clothes: "Brother, since you are so powerful, why do you bring a follower out? Are you afraid of meeting a strong man?"

"Hey, what follower, that's my bastard!"

The middle-aged man in single clothes smiled and said, "As for the strong man? Hehe, who dares to touch the people in our Qingyue City in the territory of more than a dozen princes around?"

This statement was recognized by everyone: "Yes, the Lei family is famous all over the world. None of the princes in this area acts according to the expression of the Lei family. We do not need to bring guards in these places. Whoever dares to provoke us is equivalent to provoking the Lei family!"

Everyone responded in unison, with a sense of pride in their tone. It is no wonder that the Lei family is the strongest prince in this area. They have always beaten others, and no one dares to come and challenge wildfires, which makes the people under the Lei family have some arrogance.

"Brother is right, but the arms trade is as far as possible, is it easier to do. Should I only be planning to do business with the nearby princes?" the middle-aged man in China continued to ask.

"Didn't I say I'm so poor that I can't even afford a four-wheeled carriage?" A middle-aged man in single clothes smiled and drank the wine contributed by a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes.

"Uh, then why are you..."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man in the gorgeous clothes looked bad, and he thought he had been deceived. Thinking about it, if he was really a powerful person, how could he not even have a follower?

"Hey, I want to know how I got the arms? I have so many that I have taken care of. My brother is also a talented person. He was promoted by his superiors. The brother has a little power, and he has not forgotten me, so he got a note for me." The middle-aged man in single clothes smiled.

"oh!"

Everyone who listened carefully made meaningful sounds, and their eyes were filled with strange light.

Seeing everyone's eyes, the middle-aged man in single clothes showed a proud look and said with a smile: "Hehe, I know what you are thinking, are you trying to go to the public security office to report it?

"Hehe, my brother helped me with the rules from regular channels. He was open and upright and absolutely did not violate the laws of the Lei family. Otherwise, would I still be so arrogant and publicized everywhere?"

"Ah? Where, how could we doubt it?"

Everyone hurriedly shook their hands awkwardly and said, "Everyone deeply agrees that it really does not conform to the rules and does not dare to publicize it everywhere."

However, some of the people with more flexible minds think that this is intentional confusion, so they confirm their determination to report the matter. Anyway, if it makes a mistake, they will be sentenced to work for a few days. If it is correct, they will send it.

"It seems that if the elder brother is taken care of by this clan brother, he will definitely make a lot of money in the future. I also need the elder brother to take care of him. Come on, full." As he said that, the middle-aged man in the gorgeous clothes enthusiastically poured wine for the middle-aged man in single clothes.

A man dressed in a nobleman flattered a man dressed in a coolie, and this scene did not make the people around him feel anything strange.

Because, the merchants on the entire Feidu Peninsula know that all the merchants who can engage in arms trade are rich. Even if they are extremely poor at the beginning, as long as they are affected by the arms trade, it will not take long to spend the money to spread the floor!

Just as everyone was flattering, the sound of horse hooves came from afar again. The sound of horse hooves was so crisp that everyone knew it was a cavalry team and immediately looked up and watched.

What caught my eye was a dozen cavalrymen with red flags on their backs. Before everyone could react, they surrounded a young man in leather armor and rushed down the avenue and stopped near the teahouse.

When everyone saw that the word "thunder" surrounded by lightning on the top of the flag, the rural people were immediately so scared that they knelt on the ground.

Although they didn't know the words, they dared not forget the pattern representing all living beings in the territory of the Lei family in their dreams.

And even if the other party is not a big shot in the Lei family or a small warrior, they all bow down to worship because they are not as free as merchants, and they rely on the fields to make a living.

The ordinary people on the entire Feidu Peninsula are tenant farmers, and any warrior is a landlord, and there is a natural difference.

The merchants carefully looked at the pattern beside the flag under the character Lei. After finding it was a melon petal pattern, they all breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, lowered their hands and lowered their heads to stand aside.

When the princes go out, all pedestrians have to kneel down on both sides, and all violators will be killed. This is the shared system of all the princes on the entire Feidu Peninsula for many years.

Of course, the Lei family also inherited these systems, so when the merchants found out that the other party was a member of a family that was dependent on the Lei family, they lowered their heads and waited for the departure or inquiry of these warriors according to the system regulations.

The merchants are not worried about the safety of their lives and property. Their hometowns are all within the territory directly under the Lei family. As long as the Lei family does not make any mistakes, even the head of the Lei family has no right to deprive their property and life at will, let alone the subordinates of the Lei family.

There are many habitual systems that fly across the Peninsula that will make the imperial people feel weird. One of them is that the leaders offend people with official status. The official family can be killed at will, but only target the parties involved and will not implicate the family.

Except for rebellion, the other crimes will be punished by the parties involved and will not involve the family. Therefore, it is not strange to suddenly find someone corpse on the street on Feidu Peninsula.

However, although the people from the official family can kill the people who offend their own people at will, they cannot kill the people who have not made mistakes, otherwise it would be a crime - the crime is very strange, and it is a crime such as wasting labor.

And there are even more weird things. If you kill the people at will, you will be condemned at most. Your lord, boss, and colleagues will think you are a prodigal son.

In other words, as long as you don’t care about your impression in the minds of these people, you can even kill all the lords in the territory.

Of course, in this way, the people who lead the people to riot, flee, or even be deprived of their territory by their lord will happen, but there will be no other troubles except these.

In addition, if you kill a fellow captain, and the captain is offending you, it doesn't matter, but if you kill someone because of interest, hehe, then you will have an enemy. As the lord, the other party cannot ignore the captain being killed for nothing.

However, such enemies can be eliminated by factors such as power and money. However, if you kill the superiors, you will definitely be scolded as soon as possible. If you have a bad relationship with your superiors, you will even be deprived of your position and framed.

If it is the lord's leader? Suicide is the only choice, otherwise you can rebel.

However, it is also certain that if it weren't for the sudden gain and loss, no lord would have killed the people for no reason. After all, population is the guarantee of wealth and military strength. Any lord hopes that his own food, money will be full of his warehouse, and his army will be strong and strong, so how could he poach himself?

Therefore, except for those who were destroyed by treason, others do not have to worry that their property will be deprived of by the lord and officials at will.

Moreover, the human touch here is satisfying, such as if an official made a mistake and was dismissed, the fief given by the lord would not be deprived. Of course, the managed territory will naturally be taken back.

As long as the enemy invades, as long as it is not a resistance to the end, the other party will not take back all your fiefdoms after surrendering, and at least some land will be left for the family to survive.

This is why the official status on Feidu Peninsula is so honorable that everyone is desperately trying to get into the official family.

"Are the boss here? Get the rice balls and tea for fifteen people." A cavalryman glanced at everyone and shouted.

The knowledgeable teahouse owner knew that the other party was not his lord, so he did not kneel on the ground and bow down like a businessman. Hearing this, he immediately straightened his back and ran to serve the rice balls quickly. His friend was also a clever man and immediately brought tea.
