The court is operating every day, and officials and soldiers from the Song and Liao countries are staring at each other with covetous eyes.

No private trade is allowed!

Just like the Maritime Bureau, merchants are not allowed to trade on their own, and all of them are communicated by official middlemen.

Human suspicion is magnified between two opponents.

Businessmen value profit over parting.

Businessmen have no moral integrity!

So don't let businessmen face temptation alone.

So the official came forward and the merchants became the role of organizing and transporting goods.

But the official efficiency...if any matters related to the official, don't expect the word efficiency to exist.

All kinds of inexplicable disputes, various restraints, various laziness, and unwilling to take responsibility...

But the Song and Liao countries are very big!

The Liao Kingdom is the most powerful country in this continent, controlling the vast land.

The Song Dynasty is the richest country on this continent, with an innumerable population.

The slow efficiency of the franchise has led to a small annual trade volume, which is far from the real needs of the people of the two countries.

So it became a seller's market.

There is a market where there is a transaction.

But the official does not allow private transactions.

But it doesn't matter, humans are the most flexible animals.

Soon, smuggling has never stopped since the establishment of the site.

Most of them were smuggled by the Song people, but some people in the Liao Kingdom also smuggled by the Song Dynasty.

This is a transaction created by interests, and no one can stop it.

"What's the use of taking us? The next group of people will still smuggle. As long as the Liao Kingdom wants goods, someone will smuggle. What is this called? This is called "It's better to smuggle than to block..."

In a room at the venue, Li Natural was drinking.

There were several officials sitting in the room, and someone outside was staring at the scene.

"We do our duty..."

Li Natural pointed to the clerk outside and said, "I am still staring at the scene when I drink."

The little official turned around, held the wine bowl in his hand and smiled, "What Li Gongfeng said is that the villain is to perform his duties."

"What should I do if I don't make money when I come to Xiongzhou? I suffer and suffer and suffer and suffer and poor?"

"That's right, if we come to suffer, then we might as well go to Bianliang to do business, so how could we come here to blow the north wind?"

"The north wind! It's hard to bear every winter. People in Bianliang don't need to worry about getting up in the morning. They wash water and breakfast... Even when they wake up, they will greet them... It's such a fairy-like day!"

"What's the point of not having money to come to Xiongzhou?"

“…”

Zhang Natural watched these people talking in a verbal manner, then put his thumb and ring finger on the edge of the wine bowl, pressed the edge of the bowl with his index finger, picked up the wine bowl easily, and said lightly: "The more you say, the more you feel guilty. Why are you feeling guilty?"

Everyone smiled awkwardly, and some said, "Someone came to report the news that they saw the Mangshan Army coming out of the city last night..."

Zhang Natural took a sip of wine slowly, then put down the bowl, touched the non-existent beard, and said lightly: "He came out and his... If he could strangle those thieves, it would be of great merit. If he could not..."

He raised his eyes and looked at everyone, and the corner of his mouth on his right raised coldly, "That's the one who came to Xiongzhou to hang out. Although Xiongzhou is not short of the use of these hundred people, it cannot be laughed at by the Liao people..."

Everyone understood what he meant after thinking about it, "Yes, yes, yes, you'll make a fuss and let him get out!"

"last night……"

Li Natural pointed to the north with his index finger and said, "The wind and clouds moved last night!"

Everyone suddenly realized and then started to laugh.

Someone winked and said, "Then he is dead... why do you want us to surrender? Now he will surrender underground first, hahahaha!"

The laughter became louder, and Li Natural frowned in displeasure.

Everyone stopped smiling and saw him drinking slowly, and praised: "Li Gongfeng has his own strategy in his heart and sits firmly in the tent of the army. That person will die no longer."

"Don't flatter!"

The corners of Li Natural's mouth trembled a few times, obviously very popular with this kind of flattery.

"Then... five or six hundred are all elite soldiers. There are 100 people on his side. If he is determined and unintentional, he... can't survive."

Li Natural raised his head and drank the wine from the bowl, stood up and said, "The Mangshan Army is all young and strong in Xiongzhou. After the entire army is wiped out, he must be in a state of grief. So... tell them that the big deal is coming, so be ready."

"yes."

Everyone was happy, and some people couldn't help but think of that kind of happiness.

“How long does it take to start?”

Rules are taboos.

For example, it is not allowed to steal public things, but someone will break this taboo.

I took the public goods to sell them and then exchanged them for money, this kind of pleasure...

How to say it?

Will have an addiction.

Some people say it is happier than men and women.

The bigger the scale, the happier it is.

Li Nan himself was addicted, and the smuggling transaction that could make a lot of money for no reason made his adrenaline soar.

His face was a little flushed, I don’t know if it was because of drinking or because of excitement.

"Everything is ready to start tonight."

"yes."

Everyone answered in unison.

“Go out and have a look.”

Li Natural walked out of the room with his hands behind his back, followed by a row of people, with great momentum.

He checked the scene and seriously warned the merchants not to trade privately, otherwise they would be severely punished.

The merchants responded timidly, and some people said, "Li Gong is majestic, and it is safe to have him in the scene."

"Yes! And he is honest and honest, and never takes the advantage of me waiting for a penny. If you think that Bao Qingtian is like this, you will be like this."

"Bao Qingtian...Bao Qingtian is so far away, I don't know how to use Qingtian Dharma."

"It's better for Li Gongfeng. I just hope he can serve in the court for a few more years."

“…”

These comments reached Li Natural's ears. Some subordinates praised him. He said lightly: "This is just a job, what are you praising? It's better to be optimistic about the court, save some trouble for the government and earn more money for the court!"

"The one who delivers the meal is here."

After everyone's inspection, the person who delivered lunch came.

If there are conditions here, you will naturally have to eat three meals a day.

There were two large wooden barrels on a ox cart, one with steamed buns and the other with vegetables.

The steamed buns are made of mutton, and the vegetables are mutton chops.

The meal was very rich, and the old man who delivered the meal looked very excited.

"What are you happy about?"

The old man was a little stupid. On weekdays, everyone liked to make fun of him.

Li Natural was the first to get the meal and was about to share the joys and sorrows with the officials. He laughed when he heard this.

While distributing the dishes to them, the old man said excitedly: "Mingshan Army is back."

He first made three lamb chops in a large bowl with soup and water, and then put two cakes, so that it would be convenient whether it was to soak the mutton soup or take it to eat.

"then……"

He handed the big bowl casually and let go habitually.

But the hand opposite did not catch the big bowl.

Bang!

The big bowl fell to the ground, and two dried cakes fell to the edge and trembled a few times.

The lamb chops were very tender and very elastic, and they bounced back on the wheels of the cart and hung, which was a coincidence.
