Chapter 1791 Selling private salt, what a big deal(1/3)
It is said that the road to Shu is difficult, but the most difficult sections are at the entrance and exit of Sichuan. When you actually get to the hinterland, the road conditions are actually much easier than expected. The trail heading north from Shushan is very flat. According to some classics
According to records, this terrain should be called a basin.
The road was in good condition, so we were traveling at a slow pace. By noon, we saw a city standing among the mountains.
As he approached the city gate, Zeng Yong saw two large dark red characters on the gate, Yazhou! After years of wind and rain, they were already mottled.
Zeng Yong said: "We have arrived at Yazhou City."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Just in time to replenish some fresh water and dry food here. Our BMW should also be well fed."
Zeng Yong said: "Let your car pass first. I don't have a Song Dynasty badge."
The soldiers under the city gate have now been replaced by soldiers from the Song Dynasty, and they are interrogating people entering the city. If he goes there first, he will definitely be interrogated for a while, which will waste time.
Bigwolf shook the reins and drove forward, not stopping until he reached the door.
Several Song soldiers saw that the carriage stopped until no one showed up at the door, and they immediately got angry. Several Song soldiers immediately frowned and gathered around. Seeing their menacing appearance, many passers-by immediately felt that there was something wrong.
It was a good show.
Unexpectedly, one of the Song soldiers suddenly stopped his companion, looked at Big Wolf and said, "Do you know Vice Ambassador Feng?"
The other Song soldiers immediately noticed that this coachman had blond hair, a tall nose and deep eyes, and he did not look like a Central Plains person at all.
Big Wolf smiled and said: "Have you seen me? Of course I recognize Mr. Feng Jiuxiao, the deputy commander-in-chief!"
The Song Bing immediately breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his fists and said, "Sima Guang, the old soldier of the Luoyang Tigers, has met you sir!" Although many people knew that there was always a blond man from the Western Regions beside Feng Jiuxiao, few people knew the origin of this man.
Neither his name nor where he comes from is known, and he has always been a mystery.
Feng Jiuxiao accompanied the army on the western expedition, so naturally many people had seen Bigwolf.
Big Wolf also clasped his fists and said, "You're welcome."
Sima Guang glanced at the carriage and asked in a low voice, "Is it possible that the deputy envoy is in the carriage?"
The curtain on the carriage suddenly lifted, revealing the face of a vigorous young man. Who else could it be but the deputy envoy?
Sima Guang reacted very quickly, and immediately bowed and clasped his fists and said: "Sima Guang, the little pawn of Luoyang, has seen you, sir!" No matter how stupid the Song soldiers around him were, they all realized it at this time, and they all bowed and clasped their fists and said: "Northwestern wolf soldiers, don't be too loud.
I’ve met the Vice-Envoy!”
"Fengzhou soldier Huo Yuanyi has met the deputy envoy!"
…
The onlookers nearby suddenly looked sideways!
The person in this carriage turned out to be a high-ranking official! These arrogant soldiers were all respectful when they saw this man, and no trace of disrespect could be seen! Who is the person in the carriage? Could it be their general? But
Listen to what they said about the deputy envoy. What kind of official is the deputy envoy?
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
Several soldiers immediately felt as if they were refreshed by the spring breeze and felt comfortable, saying in unison: "It's not hard work!"
It is such a blessing to be praised by the Deputy Envoy!
These arrogant soldiers crawled out from the heap of the dead. They have always feared no one and no one. Even their generals are just dissatisfied. Who allows people to have high status and power? But for
The deputy envoy and the others are convinced by ten thousand people, especially the veterans of Luoyang Tiger and Northwest Wolf, who are the most convinced! Because
Because they have seen the unparalleled heroic appearance of the deputy envoy! Dressed in white, he seems to be in a deserted land among thousands of troops! In the battle of Jingyang, there were many killings! Whether it was a living person, a living corpse, or a skeleton soldier,
At such a price, the Demonic Crow Soldiers were simply vulnerable in front of the Deputy Envoy! In that battle, Feng Jiuxiao was completely enshrined in the hearts of the Song Dynasty soldiers!
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Is the situation stable now?"
Sima Guangdao: "Everything is stable! The prefect here has also been replaced by someone from our Song Dynasty. The rest of the small officials and officials will be looked after by the prefect. As long as they are willing to return to our Song Dynasty, they will be retained."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Listening to your tone, are there still many people who are unwilling to submit to the Song Dynasty?"
Sima Guang said: "Yes, not many, just two."
"How did you handle it?"
"The specific situation is not clear. I heard that it was the governor who tried to surrender over and over again but failed, so he killed the two of them."
Big Wolf said: "Kill him? Can't he be let go?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Let them go and wait for them to find opportunities to deal with you? In extraordinary times, kill them!"
When Sima Guang heard Feng Jiuxiao's words, he immediately felt relieved. If Feng Jiuxiao was dissatisfied with the prefect for killing someone, wouldn't he want to be hated by the prefect?
"Sir, deputy envoy, why are you here in Yazhou? Do you need us to inform the prefect immediately?"
Feng Jiuxiao waved her hand and said: "No need. We are just passing by and are in a hurry. After all, he has just taken over here and there are thousands of things that need him to deal with, so I won't disturb the prefect. If we come back and pass by here, call the prefect.
How about you guys keeping me company?"
Sima Guang's eyes instantly shone brightly, and he immediately said with great excitement: "That's great, we are honored! We will treat you when the time comes!"
Feng Jiuxiao was very happy to see their sincere and excited eyes, especially when she met the veterans of Luoyang Tiger and Northwest Wolf. These people had experienced fighting side by side with him, through life and death. As the old saying goes, comrades are
also!
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "I beg you! How much money do you earn? Okay, guard the door and don't let the enemy's spies infiltrate. Pay attention to people in Xiazhou, Northern Han, and Tubo accents. They don't have to be arrested."
Interrogation, which can easily cause panic, can be followed and supervised privately."
Sima Guang immediately understood. The deputy ambassador was clearly giving military glory to these brothers! As the deputy commander-in-chief of the Imperial City Division, he has the best information! Since he has pointed out the direction, everyone just needs to stick to it.
Just move forward, that’s right!
He winked at the Song soldiers next to him, and everyone bowed and clasped their fists in unison: "Thank you, sir!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Feng Jiuxiao said: "Then I will go to the city first. The two carriages behind are with me."
Sima Guang and others immediately made a respectful gesture of "please come in"!
When all the troikas entered the city, several soldiers suddenly returned to their angry-glaring look, scanning everyone who entered the city with their eyes like knives!
Sima Guang looked at a man who looked like a businessman, "Where are you from?"
The man didn't seem to expect that Song Bing's eyes were so sharp. At first glance, he was a veteran who had experienced hundreds of battles and crawled out of the dead. Otherwise, his murderous intent would not be so strong. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous, "The common people are from Xiazhou.
"He doesn't dare to lie! His accent won't change for a while!
The strange light in Sima Guang's eyes flashed away, and he continued to ask calmly: "Where to go?"
The man thought: I dare not lie about where I came from, because the accent cannot be faked, but where I am going, you are not a roundworm in my belly, you can guess where I am going?
"I just went to Yazhou to buy some local goods."
"What local product?"
The Xiazhou businessman thought: Are you asking so carefully? Fortunately, I made a plan in advance!
"Huangguogan and loquat fruit."
"Why come here to buy it?"
"Oh, the fruits here are more delicious than those in other places. You are like Huangguo Mandarin. The peel is thin and easy to peel off, the center column is hollow and almost seedless, the meat is crispy, tender and juicy, sweet and sour. You are like
Loquat fruit, the fruit is large, sweet, soft and juicy, and easy to preserve.”
Sima Guang said: "Well, let's go." Then he looked at the next person who passed the border.
The Xiazhou merchant immediately thanked him profusely, and then led two young men into the city gate.
Sima Guang looked at the woman in front of him. She was old and wrinkled. She looked like a peasant woman and asked, "Where do you come from?"
The old woman pointed to the city and said, "I am from Mang Village, Yandao County, Yazhou."
Sima Guangdao: "Let's go."
When the old woman passed by him, he winked at a soldier next to him.
The soldier immediately understood and whispered: "That Xiazhou businessman?"
Sima Guang looked calm and lowered his voice, "Including that old woman!"
The soldier was startled, "How did you tell that there was something wrong with that old lady?"
Sima Guangdao: "Follow your intuition!"
The soldier was stunned immediately.
The streets in Yazhou are very clean and the local population is large, making it quite prosperous.
When Bigwolf saw the many wine flags in front of him, he knew that the people here lived relatively affluent lives. Only when people have a lot of spare money can the restaurant's business prosper.
He looked far away from the carriage and directly chose the largest restaurant to stop the carriage. At this time, a bartender came over with a smile and reached out to take the reins. "If the customers come in, please leave the carriage to me."
We have parking space in our backyard.”
Bigwolf said: "Thank you." He was very interested in this young bartender! When the bartender saw him for the first time, he was clearly shocked by his appearance, but he returned to normal in an instant. This
His agility is unparalleled!
Zeng Yong and others got out of the car one after another, and the bartenders came to receive them. This restaurant was really grand, and there were several bartenders who were responsible for managing the carriages.
Everyone looked at the three golden characters on the lintel: Baidi Tower.
