According to the territory, Wucheng belongs to Dingxiang County and is still within the territory of the Han Dynasty. However, the fact is that although there are still people living in the city here, since the Han Dynasty has shrunk inward over the years, these places have actually become

There are places where Xianbei people, Huns and Han people live together.

I don’t know if there is a rammed earth city wall even ten feet away. It looks more like a market than a city. On a sunny day, many merchants gather together. This is a relatively large market in Yunzhong. It is surrounded by

There are many places where domes gather, which belong to the Xianbei or Huns tribes.

It's not big, but most merchants won't go to large-scale markets like Wucheng to do business, and they don't bring many goods. Sometimes if they can negotiate a price with the herdsmen here, they will trade directly, and the harvest may be competitive.

It's a little more successful.

Of course, the premise is that you can communicate with them. Although most of the Hu people here are actually hospitable, you can't do business if you don't understand the language.

Most of the people who go to Wucheng to trade are the kind of wealthy merchants. Large-scale transactions usually cannot be accommodated by small tribes with dozens or hundreds of people. It is a waste of time for each family to travel. It is better to go to Wucheng to trade with those big tribes, although the profit may be less.

But if you count the expenses incurred by your family on the way to these small tribes, it is actually about the same, and the loss of time cannot be offset by such petty profits for those wealthy businessmen.

"In other words, these silk cloths I got cannot be sold in ordinary small tribes?" In the team, the young man who was chatting with several traveling traders had a look of loss and regret on his face, which is easy to make people feel.

I can't bear it, but reality is so cruel.

"Hey, little brother, how many years older than you are, so I have the audacity to call you brother." A merchant walking with the young man patted his shoulder and sighed: "That ordinary small tribe sells the best goods.

It’s just things like silk cloth and salt.”

"I heard that there is salt in the grassland." The young man said in astonishment.

"How do the barbarians know how to mine salt? Don't talk about them, it's you, you know?" The big man laughed.

"I really don't know." The young man shook his head.

"Those are all good things left to us by our ancestors. The Hu people can only produce so much salt every year. Those big tribes have already divided it up. If these small tribes want it, they can only exchange it with the big tribes. Sometimes

A horse may not be able to exchange for a pound of salt, but it is much cheaper here. Not only is the salt good, but the price is also cheap. One sheep is enough." The big man laughed and said: "It is also thanks to the current governor of Bingzhou.

Fortunately, we merchants from Hedong can now get some salt to sell. If we get a piece of rock salt, we can take the cattle and sheep back and keep them for ten years."

There was unconcealable envy in the young man's eyes, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "Then I can exchange these silk cloths for something in the big tribe, right?"

"Don't go. Who do you think those Xianbei people are? Those wealthy merchants have been doing business with them all year round. They don't dare to move. But if you encounter traveling merchants like us, if you really go, there will be no bones left."

." The big man shook his head and said.

"What should we do?" the young man said with a disappointed look on his face.

"Brother, I do have some connections. I don't dare to go to the big tribes, but I can find some that are not big or small. I can eat from a few more houses. Those tribal leaders also want to wear silk clothes like those big tribal leaders.

, it’s just that the wealthy businessmen look down on them, so we people went there, and all they could collect was the silk cloth that we retail investors brought occasionally. If you believe me, I will help you deal with these goods, and my brother will not cheat you.

I'll only give you 30%. What's that look in your face? Go and find out. The price is very fair. If you sell the horses, cattle and sheep you exchanged for, I'm sure you can make a lot of money!" said the man, who was still small.

He looked at the three guards behind the young man.

"Here we go again." Not far away, three ferocious-looking men were fighting together. The momentum was a bit scary. The burliest one among them smacked his lips and said to the other ferocious man next to him.

: "Old Wang, how did my master live when he was a child? How come he can get along with everyone? Look at his expression. If you didn't know his identity, I would have believed him!"

"Be careful, call me Dongjia!" Lao Wang glared at him and said, "My Dongjia has his own hardships, but he treats people kindly and does not regard people as rich or poor, so everyone is naturally willing to get along with him."

"After all, isn't it because I have a handsome face?" Dian Wei curled his lips disdainfully and said, "If I, Lao Dian, had such a face, wouldn't those women in Chunfeng Pavilion open their legs to me one by one?"

"Didn't my boss get a wife for you?" Wang Biao looked at Dian Wei in confusion. The three of them have now got women under Chen Mo's help, and they are all pretty good-looking.

"One person is not enough. Let's capture a few Xianbei women this time." Dian Wei said with a smile.

"Like that?" Zheng Tu on the side raised his chin. There were also Huns in the team. Following his gaze, there was a man with dark and rough skin, disheveled hair, and a grin. The air around him seemed to be inexplicably...

Mist of color.

This group of people was naturally Chen Mo and his party. After leaving Yanmen, with his handsome appearance and pleasant mouth, Chen Mo quickly led his people into a caravan composed of retail investors.

Dian Wei looked at the woman, and the woman also looked over. Seeing Dian Wei looking at her and grinning, Dian Wei's face suddenly turned a little ugly. He quickly turned around and cursed: "It's a good thing I left this morning.

I’m in a hurry, I haven’t eaten, and none of these barbarian women are good-looking?”

"My boss said that there is a lack of water on this grassland, and many women cannot take a few baths in their lives. How beautiful do you expect it to be?" Wang Biao said with a smile: "Besides, you are also a general now, so you really want a barbarian woman to go back.

,How can I raise my head in the future?"

"Although she looks disgusting, don't tell me, this barbarian girl has a pretty good figure. It's rare for a Han woman to be like this." Dian Wei smacked his lips and said, "It can be used even after being washed.

"

Wang Biao and Zheng Tu looked at Dian Wei with strange expressions.

Dian Wei looked up to the sky and laughed loudly and said, "Tell me, Lord...why does he want us to call him Dongjia? They don't call him like that in Huaipu."

"My boss has traveled to many places over the years, maybe that's where it's called?" Wang Biao said uncertainly.

"And that name, Chen Ergou... Haha, I wonder what my boss thinks." Dian Wei grinned.

Wang Biao and Zheng Tu exchanged words. Chen Mo had this name when he was a child, but he really couldn't say this because it involved Chen Mo's image.

Chen Mo's identity this time is that of a young man who has read two volumes of books but has no way to become an official. He is unwilling to be mediocre. The name Chen Ergou is easier for people to accept. Otherwise, it would not be said that Chen Mo is now in Bingzhou.

He is already quite famous, and the name Chen Mo alone makes people feel that he is not an ordinary family.

"Everyone..." Hao Zhao, who had been following the three people and responsible for leading the team, said hesitantly: "It's inappropriate to talk about the boss like this..."

"Huh?" The three of them turned around, who was speaking?

Hao Zhao swallowed the words that came to his mouth alive. You can understand that he was suppressed by the temperament of the three people. In fact, there is no need for any bullshit temperament. Three ugly and fierce faces appeared in front of you at the same time and stared at you. In terms of momentum,

You have to weaken by three points first.

"Although the three... generals are... the lord's confidants, it is not good to... talk about the lord like this." Hao Zhao felt a little uncomfortable when he spoke.

"Hao Zhao is right, Lao Dian, be careful what you say!" Wang Biao nodded and looked at Dian Wei.

"You're going to get into trouble sooner or later with your mouth!" Zheng Tu nodded.

Dian Wei: "→_→"

You seemed to be having a great time chatting just now.

"Hao Zhao, have you mastered the martial arts I taught you yesterday?" Dian Wei suddenly glared at Hao Zhao fiercely. Next to Chen Mo, Dian Wei's martial arts value is well deserved first. Hao Zhao has also been pestering Dian Wei these days.

I learned a few moves, but now Dian Wei is using the same trick that Chen Mo used to deal with him on Hao Zhao. This feeling is quite refreshing. No wonder my lord has always taught me knowledge and has the ability to teach me martial arts?

Hao Zhao shook his head. Dian Wei's moves were mainly powerful and heavy, and it was impossible to learn them without some talent. Recently, Hao Zhao was planning to find time to learn archery from Chen Mo.

Dian Wei chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, people say that this place is in chaos. We are about to reach Yunzhong now, but why don't we see any thieves coming to cause trouble? This martial art can only be polished on the battlefield in the end."

While he was talking, Wang Biao frowned and waved his hand to signal Dian Wei to stop talking. He sat down and his horse began to stir uneasily.

"It's a large number of cavalry! Protect our boss!" Wang Biao quickly rode his horse and rushed to Chen Mo's side.

Chen Mo had also noticed something was wrong. He frowned and looked into the distance. A group of Xianbei knights roared and whipped their horses, rushing towards them, bringing up smoke and dust in the sky.

Wang Biao, Zheng Tu and Hao Zhao couldn't help but look at Dian Wei.

Dian Wei coughed, and when he saw the three of them still looking at him, he glared and said, "What are you looking at me for?"

The man who had previously pulled Chen Mo to introduce the business to Chen Mo smiled and said: "Brother Chen, don't be afraid. This grassland has the rules of the grassland. It's not a real war, and these barbarians won't mess around. The most you can do is give them some wealth."

.”

The grassland has the rules of the grassland. Although the power of the Han Dynasty is declining and the control of the border areas is insufficient, the trade between the two sides has long been established, and naturally there are rules belonging to the grassland. In fact, it is similar to the robbery in the green forest of the Central Plains. It is usually a robbery of wealth, and it is not

It will be a total disaster.

Chen Mo nodded and waved his hand, signaling his soldiers to hold off on taking action. This was the first time he encountered such a pure grassland tribe, and Chen Mo was also a little curious.

The big man looked at the guard with some surprise as he quickly retreated with Chen Mo's wave. This seemed to be...not an ordinary guard.

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Dian Wei glared at the other person and said, "Here comes someone!"
