    "Wow~ It's so lively. Although Jinyang is also very lively, it feels like there is a completely different kind of liveliness here.<"

    As soon as you enter the city of Mayi, you will feel a completely different feeling from Jinyang.

    As the ruling center of the Bingzhou Army, Jinyang is also the seat of various core administrative and academic institutions of the Bingzhou Army. There are also tens of thousands of Xiongnu people in captivity nearby. It can be said that Jinyang at this time is just like Luoyang in the past, as long as it is  All capable families want to build a mansion and land some fields here or nearby. Moreover, this is also the center of logistics. All kinds of materials and treasures under the rule of Bingzhou Army are also gathered in Jinyang, so various roads  Merchants will also set their main accounts or important semicolons in Jinyang, which gives Jinyang a majestic atmosphere like Chang'an and Luoyang in a short period of time.

    Even with the improvement of education level, the atmosphere in Jinyang area has become more intense. Under the rule of Bingzhou Army, Jinyang not only has a political center and a military center, but also has two more cultural centers and economic centers.  title.

    But Mayi is completely different from Jinyang.

    Although it is also very prosperous here, it does not have the feeling of wealth and grace like Jinyang. Instead, it has a sense of heroism - not only can you often see travelers and merchants wearing swords, but you can also buy and sell.  The way the goods are delivered is also very generous.

    Of course, you can also call it primitive.

    I don¡¯t know whether it was due to the influence of the northern grasslands or other reasons. If it was just common people buying some daily commodities, they would probably use copper coins, the currency with the smallest value in the Han Dynasty. For slightly larger transactions,  For example, if you want to buy a few kilograms of rice, you may use silk, and then that's the end of it.

    The rest of the transaction.  Whether it was buying grain or war horses, or exchanging for some goods from the south, it was basically bartering - exchanging cattle and horses for grain or luxury goods.  Use the spun wool in exchange for animal skins, use spirits in exchange for some materials in the north that can only be produced on the grasslands There may be a dispute between the two parties over the price.  There may even be a scuffle, but if the two sides are evenly matched, the deal is often easily concluded.  And if one party shows weakness, it may suffer a price loss.

    "This kind of transaction is really unique." Li Shi was very emotional.

    "It is said to be the rule set by Wen Yuan at the time. At that time, Wen Yuan also said, 'Businessmen attach great importance to profits. If they trade in this way, even if it is just for the profit of penny baht, the businessmen will fight to the death. Over time, no matter how timid the businessman is, he will become  "You must be extremely brave" and the like. Although I don't know why he has such knowledge at such a young age. But it seems to make some sense."

    "But it will be very troublesome for government management."

    "I heard that it was true at the beginning. But with the help of the Zhang family and other local powerful people, and as time went by, everyone got used to this rule, so now, I feel that this rule is very suitable for the Northland men.  If someone plans to abolish this rule, everyone will probably boycott it. Even if you believe it, you may not be able to reverse this custom."

    "If there is a dispute and they often fight with fists and kicks, won't there be some bullies and bullies?"

    "Fights are all one-on-one, and group fights are not allowed. Weapons and hidden weapons including gloves and iron tiger fingers cannot be used. You can only fight the enemy with bare hands. And forced buying and selling are not allowed. If you feel that the other party's offer is inappropriate, at most  Get a beating. If someone is found to be buying and selling by force, the government will not sit idly by and ignore it, and merchants from all walks of life in the city will jointly launch a boycott."

    "If there are detailed regulations and can be strictly implemented, then we can expect the prosperity of Mayi."

    "That's true. Mayi can have its current prosperity, and most of the credit should go to most of the people who consciously maintain it. However, without our Bingzhou Army to protect the safety of this place, it would not be able to develop to this extent. No matter what  Not everyone can bear the crazy atmosphere in Pingcheng. The benefits are huge but the risks are also extremely high."

    Arrive at Mayi.  Zhang Xiu will not stop, although he still hopes to serve his master and take care of his little junior brother.  But he was kicked out by Tong Yuan, even though Tong Yuan could never beat Zhang Xiu now.  But seeing Zhang Xiu acting like a mouse meeting a cat in front of the angry Tong Yuan, Li Shi felt an extraordinarily happy feeling.

    Of course, it can also be seen from this that "once a teacher, always a father" is really not just a random statement.

    "Shi, do you think we should live in the Wenyuan family's manor, or find an inn or inn at random. But if we choose the latter, I'm afraid that our team of more than a thousand people will not be able to eat them all in a restaurant  , if we are separated, I am afraid"

    "No?It's so troublesome, leave the necessary number of people, and let Wen Yuan's brother named Zhang Fan arrange a place for the others. Anyway, they won't stay here for long, only three to five days, so there is no need to be so troublesome, there is a place  Just be satisfied. I never saw you frowning when setting up tents in the wilderness before. Why do you become more delicate after entering the city? This is not good, this is not good.  "

    Although Li Shi's "vacation trip" this time cannot be said to be a big fanfare, he did not deliberately hide his whereabouts, and he also brought several generals' personal soldiers with him, plus his core personal guards, plus  There were more than 2,000 people in total, which was really a lot of people no matter how you looked at it.

    It should be noted that the caravans that usually travel to the northern grasslands will naturally have different numbers of guards, but even the largest caravans rarely have more than 300 guards.  This is not because those businessmen are unable to hire so many people, but to avoid suspicion - five hundred people is enough to be considered a subversive force for some remote small counties, so such a large team will not only make the local people feel sad  Insecurity, various surveillance, distrust and even searches will cost business travelers far more than imagined.

    Secondly, because of the character of a businessman, the number of guards recruited must be directly linked to the number of goods carried. If an entourage of more than a thousand people is escorted, you can imagine how big a businessman it will be.  How much supplies will the team carry?

    Teacher Ma once accurately defined the characteristics of businessmen - if there are three times the profit, businessmen dare to trample all human laws. Those barbarians on the grassland may not be as cunning as businessmen, but they are not bad at cost accounting.  It's just that they gave up a lot of long-term interests because they focused too much on immediate interests, but because of this, their behavior was more direct and brutal.  As long as they decide that the robbery will lead to greater gains.  As long as it doesn't cause any injuries, I won't care even if the sacrifice is huge.

    A super caravan that goes deep into the grassland.  It was obviously enough to comply with such a pattern and attract the attention of even the Xianbei Royal Court.

    For this reason, there were many stores in Mayi that entertained merchants, but none of them had the ability to absorb Li Shi's army. Therefore, Li Shi sent most of the people to live temporarily with Zhang's family in Mayi, while he himself  Here, a few elites are left to accompany them, so they can have a good time "having fun with the people". Maybe they can also try the "bargaining tour" that is unique to Mayi?

    All right.  Su Xiaololi beside her could not help but roll up her sleeves, looking eager to try.

    I hope those merchants will not be hacked to death by Su Xiaololi - although Su Xiaololi will not bully others, she can accurately control the price negotiation and can definitely directly press the other party's psychological bottom line.

    ???????????????????????????? Such bargaining behavior is usually achieved entirely by words, but now we have the opportunity to use force Amen.

    Such prayers are naturally sent to those businessmen, because Li Shi doubts whether Su Xiaololi will take this opportunity to find a few sandbags to vent her anger, because he has heard that Su Xiaololi is discussing how to find local people with Zhen Xiaololi next to her.  Ask which boss in Mayi City is the most arrogant and unpopular in business. Although it seems that he intends to eliminate harm for the people, based on Li Shi's understanding of Su Xiaololi, this is definitely the murderous loli who plans to let go.  A prelude to playing.

    certainly.  Because Su Xiaoluoli is very measured, and more importantly, with the support of the Bingzhou Army, Su Xiaoluoli can play casually.  Anyway, as long as she doesn't cross the line, Li Shi can teach those guys who have lost their minds how to be a new person.

    Thinking of this, Li Shi felt that his mature and calm heart suddenly sprouted a youthful energy!

    But before that, we should take people to the Zhang family to sit down and say hello to the local snakes here. After all, Zhang Wenyuan is also his general, but the relationship between the two parties cannot be said to be very close, even because there is  With the existence of Ding Yuan as a thorn, Zhang Liao has always been a little too cautious in the Bingzhou Army.  Even though Li Shi promoted him to the position of General of Liangzhou, this general who was able to dominate the grasslands at a young age in this plane did not do anything earth-shattering.

    This is the second one.  I also hope to learn about the situation in the north through Zhang Fan¡¯s channels.  Perhaps Zhang Fan cannot compare with powerful players like Jia Wenhe and Guo Fengxiao in terms of intelligence gathering capabilities.  But after all, it is an old family that has been rooted in Mayi for dozens of generations, and has been operating the trade route to the north. Naturally, it has some unique sources of intelligence. I am afraid that even Jia Wenhe cannot fully grasp these intelligence resources.  , because it takes time to gradually build mutual trust.

    Li Shi did not expect that his words would make the other party obediently hand over his precious channel, but if he got some important and unimportant information in the form of equal exchange, Zhang Fan would not be so stupid as toUnder these conditions, he had to slap his face. Besides, Quanbinzhou should know that Li Shi had just suffered a small loss because of the north and was in a rage.

    Of course, Li Shi¡¯s worries are obviously unnecessary.

    When Li Shi said that he would not ask for the other party's source of information and was willing to pay a certain price, Zhang Fan, who had been traveling between Yanmen and the northern grasslands since he was young, later stood at ease behind his increasingly dazzling younger brother.  The man who assisted also showed the generosity of Mayi Business Travel, and provided Li Shi with enough news to surprise him. However, if he analyzed it carefully, he could not follow the clues to find out the Zhang family's news channels.  It's really quite powerful.

    Precisely because of the Zhang family¡¯s introduction, combined with the information provided by Jia Xu, Li Shi had a more detailed understanding of the matter in the north, and based on this information, Li Shi also discovered some very interesting things.

    For example, now Qian Man's subordinates have become a tripartite force. Those "mysterious people" seem to be constantly inciting Qian Man to consolidate his position through the southern expedition and completely overwhelm the leader. Yuwen Tuo is fully opposed to this matter.  It is believed that the current situation in the grasslands is not conducive to the Xianbei army's southern expedition. The losses caused by such an approach will definitely be unbearable for the Xianbei people.

    Yu Wentuo thought that he should march south with him.  It is better to march westward again, not only to cut off the threat on our flanks, but also to cut off an arm of the Bingzhou Army.  What's more important is that various materials and craftsmen needed by Xianbei can be obtained from Anxi and Kushan through the Western Regions.

    Micah seems to be a centrist, but the "mysterious man"'s previous "feat" seems to have stimulated him in some way.  So he put more energy into opposing Yuwen Tuo's decision, but because he didn't support the "mysterious man"'s decision, it made people feel that he was not completely united with the "mysterious man".

    If such information can be considered secret, but it is not absolutely unobtainable, then the Zhang family was actually able to obtain relevant information that "two generals of the 'Mysterious Man' were killed, and the murderer was suspected to be Yuwen Tuo", not just  Just repeating those rumors that everyone on the grassland knew, had to make Li Shi look at him with admiration. After all, even Li Shi and Jia Xu had thought that this matter might just be a message.  But when Zhang Fan told Li Shi that the two people had indeed disappeared for a few days, and when they reappeared a few days later, their expressions seemed a bit dull, but their strength seemed to be much stronger.

    Based on this piece of news alone, Li Shi felt that his trip was really not in vain, not to mention that he also obtained other information, so that Li Shi wanted to take advantage of these news channels at a certain moment.  middle.

    Of course, such an impulse only lasted a moment. Li Shi at least still knew the principle of "snake has his own way, rat has his own way", if this line is placed in the hands of the Bingzhou Army.  Not to mention whether there will be any mistakes, the level of attention cannot be compared with the Zhang family. After all, this channel can only occasionally get some important information.  Will Bingzhou Army be as caring about management as the Zhang family, and is it willing to pay a price that seems obviously more disadvantageous just to maintain a channel that seems to lack a rate of return?

    It cannot be said that Bingzhou Army does not have such channels, but it is destined to be impossible to maintain too many. After all, there are also many places where Bingzhou needs money.

    Had lunch at the Zhang family - I have to say that although Li Shi implemented the three-meal system in Bingzhou Prefecture according to his own habits, this work and rest habit does not seem to be promoted because of this, and most families are still used to the leisure time in farming.  During the busy farming season, a two-meal system is adopted, while during the busy farming season, a three-meal system is adopted. After returning to the already prepared post house, it is time for free activities.

    certainly.  It can also be considered as the time for a certain loli to show off her arms.

    And this time, the Zhang family, a local snake, helped carry it.  Li Shi doesn't even need to care about the mood of those small business owners.

    What makes Li Shi feel regretful is that this time he cannot follow Su Xiaololi to enjoy the wonderful performance of his own lolita - the days of travel and the "practice" that must be carried out every day have squeezed almost all of his physical strength and energy.  Then just now he had a long secret conversation with Zhang Fan. Now that he was full of wine and food, he was naturally sleepy and exhausted, and he really didn't want to move any more.

    But I don¡¯t know whether it should be sad or gratifying. Although Li Shi himself was as tired as a dead dog, it seems that Old Man Tong, the most seriously injured guy among the four, can now behave like a normal person among Zilongjiang and Zilongjiang.  He went out for a walk accompanied by his personal guards, and Taishi Ci walked out in a slightly abnormal state with a certain slut in love holding their arms so intimately that it made people want to burn them both¡ª¡ª  It wasn't that there was something wrong with Taishi Ci's body. In fact, if it weren't for the toxins, Taishi Ci was actually the one who suffered the least damage including Zhang Xiu. It was just the first time he "enjoyed" this kind of thing.The treatment is just a bit uncomfortable. After all, when I was in Jinyang, I was bored at home all day, and the most I could do was take a walk in the back. There was also my mother supporting me. The boy cared about my mother¡¯s tutoring, and the girl cared about her mother¡¯s opinion.  , naturally it is impossible to show affection and throw flash bombs randomly.

    Xu Huang didn¡¯t have anyone to accompany him, but he was not alone with his group of friends, ah no, his personal guards.

    All in all, it didn¡¯t take long for the inn to calm down again from the noise. Although it was indeed a good environment to sleep and play with the pig¡¯s head, why did I suddenly feel a sense of sadness in my heart?  Could it be an illusion?

    Whoever wakes up from the big dream first will know it all my life.  I have had enough autumn sleep in the post house, and the sun is getting late outside the window

    It was a good sleep. At least Li Shi felt that when he woke up, he felt refreshed and all the fatigue was gone.

    ??????????? Could it be that I have slept until the end of the world and have such an illusion? I remember watching a movie about Hope Country when I was young.  It tells the story of a little boy who fell into a pit once (without fog) and time flew by. When he woke up from the pit, it seemed that thirty years had passed.

    Well, in fact, the real reason seems to be that the child fell into a pit and passed out (?) and was rescued (?) by aliens.

    certainly.  In fact, according to the opinions of conspiracy theorists and tragedy theorists, or the silver people who have been brainwashed by the Love Warriors, the truth is obviously that this child was abducted by aliens and used as a specimen for human research.  Just like those mad scientists eating those poor animals alive, oh no, dissecting them, the real little boy has already become a head specimen, a torso specimen, a limb specimen, and even a heart specimen, a specimen of the five internal organs, a specimen of the six internal organs, etc.  , and the little boy who reappeared in front of people was just a holographic image produced by aliens relying on their powerful technology - alien technology, that's it [beep~]!

    Don¡¯t you believe it, instead of using super powerful technology to travel through tens of thousands of light-years of space and come to the earth just to study the earth¡¯s ecology, you can use super powerful technology to create a holographic image to observe the earth.  Why can¡¯t the reason why people¡¯s living conditions and lifestyles are not a pain in the ass at all be established?

    If you protest.  Then please give the "Three-Body" series to those aliens who are in pain, so that they can learn what "cosmic sociology" is and understand the importance of the "Black Forest Law".

    Of course, any consequences caused by this have nothing to do with Li Shi¡¯s imagination. He refuses to bear joint and several legal liability and hereby declares.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????It seemed pitch black, but I could still hear a few unclear noises.  So it can be said that the sleep time was not too long.

    Or¡­¡­

    "Bo Ren, how much time has passed? It must not have been more than a day." For this loyal guard leader.  Li Shi now feels more and more admired and accustomed to him, so he will never treat others like a black-skinned dwarf.

    Um?  Does this sound ambiguous to you?

    Don¡¯t worry about such small things.

    "About an hour and a half, do you need me to call some servants for you?"

    "No, it's already so late. If you don't want to go out, just walk around in the house."

    Although I feel a little regretful that I can't see Su Xiaololi's cute appearance of killing everyone, especially when Loli smiles at herself after every victory, it looks like a little dog asking for credit for doing something that it thinks can please its owner.  Please reward me as well.

    Of course, with Su Xiaololi¡¯s IQ.  It definitely couldn't be that stupid-looking little dog, at least it was at the level of a little fox.  Yes, it's a fox.  Because this expression is often accompanied by a snickering as if someone has stolen a little hen.

    There was no one left in the post house. Although Jinyang was very prosperous, Mayi also looked very interesting. Maybe you could find something good in an inconspicuous alley - someone had such an idea.  They were definitely led astray by Li Shi, oh no, it should be said that they were led by all kinds of strange movies that filled Jinyang, such as "I am the Great Immortal," "The Story of Fire Dance," "Sweet Sweet Learning A, B, and C," "Yi Cong Tian Xia"  , "Poisoned by beasts, state herders and the like."

    By the way, the last book has been severely sealed by Li Shi, but its author seems to have a perseverance spirit, and it didn't take long before he launched the "Beast Prefect" series.

    What a perseverant author. Li Shi, who was moved by his perseverance, did not continue to ban him.

    Of course, Li Shi said how could a person with such a great and upright outlook on things like himself bring that kind of book into his home, and also read it?There are three copies for reading, collection and teaching purposes.  Absolutely not!

    Because it is very important, I will say it a third time!  Absolutely not!  To be continued)
