1983: From Land Sharing to Household Ownership

"This dish is too rich."

"This wine is also good."

At lunch time, Wang Qiang looked at a large table full of food and wine in front of him, including beef, sheep, chicken and duck, all of which were delicious in color, fragrance, tasted several dishes, and after drinking a glass of sorghum wine, he couldn't help praising them.

Previously in the wilderness, he had eaten several kinds of one-star beast meat, but it was just roasted casually. How could he have the time and conditions to cook it carefully?

Moreover, the Han Dynasty lasted for nearly 20,000 years, and the food culture has also reached its peak. Compared with the various delicacies I ate before, it is not bad, and even in terms of food, the quality of ingredients is much better.

Before on Earth, even he had never eaten any star spirit beast meat.

Because the barrier of time and space is too weak, ordinary mutant beasts on the earth have already opened up their intelligence, let alone spirit beasts?

And those mutated beasts and spirit beasts are all raised by the family, so it is impossible to kill them and eat them.

In the original big world at the center of the universe, only monsters with a three-star rating or above can activate their spiritual intelligence and become real big monsters.

Birds and beasts with a star level or above will start to mutate and evolve, and awaken their innate supernatural powers, which are called monsters.

One-star birds and beasts are ordinary livestock and poultry.

"I don't know how delicious the meat of those two-star and three-star monsters are?"

Like his younger sisters, Wang Qiang is actually an out-and-out foodie.

Therefore, it would be a lie to say that you are not curious or don't want to eat the legendary monster meat.

Such a sumptuous food and drink, of course, is not because the owner of the Huiyuan Commercial Firm is really generous, but because these temporary guards are about to set off on a long journey to protect their own caravan and fight those horse bandits desperately.

Therefore, this sumptuous banquet should be used to boost morale and practice.

As the shopkeepers of the business here, they are quite aware of the situation of some horse bandits in Bingzhou.

Some of the large horse bandits not only have a lot of dragon-scaled horses, but the elite horse bandits and their equipment are not inferior to some regular troops.

Many people are aware of the trickiness in this.

There is no doubt that more than half of them must be controlled by those big families behind the scenes.

The purpose is to reasonably get rid of one's own competitors and strive for more benefits.

Among the aristocratic families, they all follow the rules on the surface. Everyone guards their own one-acre three-point land and will not tear their faces.

But for a power that can become a medium-to-large aristocratic family, how can there be a fuel-efficient lamp?

Mingli will not tear his face, but in the dark, there are swords and swords, and endless conspiracies and tricks.

Huiyuan Commercial Bank is also a large force in Bingzhou, and has its own business names in many towns and even counties.

But compared to the big aristocratic families in Bingzhou, it was nothing.

Even when the Xiongnu went south to Da Caogu, they did not dare to enter the actual control territory of those big forces, and at most they would attack some villages where their branches were located.

Otherwise, those aristocratic families who controlled Bingzhou behind the scenes would be angered, and with all their strength to counterattack, they could really completely kill the invading Huns soldiers in the pass.

Those large-scale horse bandits naturally would not pick those big forces to attack, but aimed at other small and medium-sized firms of aristocratic families.

For all of this, those big forces that dominate Bingzhou behind the scenes are happy to see it happen.

After all, they would never allow other aristocratic families to develop vigorously in Bingzhou, and there would be a risk of replacing their own status in the future.

It's okay for other forces to make a little money in Bingzhou. Once they want to annex the state's wealth, they will definitely be suppressed desperately, and even eradicated with harsh hands.

The owner of Huiyuan Commercial Bank, of course, is very aware of these routines and is very well-behaved. He will not encroach on the interests of those forces. Hotels, mines, armaments, food and other industries with rich interests will not be contaminated.

They are just in the medicine business.

The Bingzhou wilderness is huge, and there are too many rare medicinal materials in it. This area alone is enough for all the forces to make a lot of money.

The goods they transported this time were to transport the medicinal materials purchased in Pingshan Town in the past six months to Shanyin County.

Then, it was transported from Shanyin County to Yanmen Pass and sold to Lu Bu, the guard of Yanmen Pass.

Lu Bu, the general guard of Yanmen Gate, has 300,000 soldiers under his command. Every day, he uses a lot of medicinal materials, prepares various soups and medicines for strengthening the body, and conducts hard training to improve.

They knew that Lu Bu pushed the Xiongnu 30,000 miles away last year and got a lot of wealth and spoils of war.

The complete victory of the long-distance raid this time is enough for Lu Bu to develop a wave.

There were even several aristocratic families who each raised thousands of dragon-scaled horses and planned to sell them to Lu Bu at a high price.

Although Lu Bu captured countless cattle, sheep and horses in the First World War last year, there were not many two-star spirit beast horses, and among them, there were less than 2,000 two-star intermediate spirit beast horses.

After all, the Huns are now in decline, oppressed by the Qiang and Xianbei, and they are no longer the overlord of the grassland.

They have been attached to the Han Dynasty for thousands of years, and they survived and multiplied in the area near the Great Wall in the north of Bingzhou.

It's just that the Huns are white-eyed wolves, and they don't know how to raise them at all.

For thousands of years, taking advantage of the decline of the Han Dynasty and having no time to care about the frontier, they often went south to raid grass valleys, robbing money, food, property, and women.

Even the counties in the north of Bingzhou and the right of Yanmen County have actually been occupied by the Huns.

If it weren't for Lu Bu's recent strong rise, it wouldn't be long before even Yanmen County would be completely occupied by the Xiongnu.

The current situation is that all the major forces in Bingzhou want to get a piece of the pie from Lu Bu who has returned from the big victory.

Especially the tens of millions of cattle, sheep and horses in Lu Bu's hands.

For the huge Han Dynasty, because of the low farming model, these are the most lacking, especially in the Central Plains and the South.

They knew very well that Lu Bu had no way to support so many cattle, sheep and horses, so they had to get rid of this difficult burden as soon as possible.

Because he is just a border guard, not even as powerful as a county magistrate.

Moreover, he has no qualified advisers at all, so he can't think of a better way to deal with it.

If it were Wang Qiang, of course he could easily handle such a simple matter and maximize his own interests.

But Lv Bu is only unparalleled in combat power, and in terms of internal affairs, he is not even as good as a village elder.

"Everyone, it's almost three quarters noon, and we're ready to go."

Together with nearly a hundred temporary guards, Wang Qiang ate and drank enough. He had just rested for a while when a steward came in and said.

The employer has orders, and everyone obeys them.

With such a generous reward, of course everyone should do their best.

Because of cultivation resources and elementary skills, only star coins can be bought.

Ordinary currency is basically useless to these rangers.

They are all awakened people, and they all have their own special skills. They usually go hunting in the wilderness, and they can solve their own food problems. The whole family will never go hungry.

What is missing is star coins, a lot of star coins.

Even a bronze star coin is very important to these rangers.

Moreover, the knight-errants of the Han Dynasty paid great attention to loyalty and reputation, and basically would not contradict what they said.

Promise to the other party's affairs, and do your best to do it well.

It is precisely because of this that these casual cultivators can have the title of "Ranger".

But anyone who breaks the rules of this title will be hunted down and killed by the rangers all over the world.

It is also the rules and reputation of the ranger that made all the caravans in the Han Dynasty boldly recruit temporary guards.

Conversely, the reputation that You Xia'er has created with all his efforts has also given them a stable channel to earn cultivation resources.

This is the best of both worlds.

Wang Qiang immediately got up with everyone, took the six-stone iron and wood bow he had carefully selected not long ago, and a quiver with thirty refined iron arrows on his back, and came to the gate of the shop.

This place is already full of people shouting and horses neighing, and it is very lively.

Large carriages were already loaded with various medicinal materials, waiting to set off.

This kind of carriage is not simple, it is engraved with a two-star formation "floating formation" by the mage pattern of the two-star formation. After the formation is activated, it can be one foot off the ground, dragged by horses, and will not be affected by ordinary terrain at all.

As fast as the horses are, so is the speed of the carriage.

Wang Qiang had inquired about a ranger who looked very honest and friendly, and learned that this kind of rudimentary magic weapon carriage cost one hundred silver star coins, and the price was not low.

But the loading capacity is not small, and it can hold up to two thousand catties of materials.

There are also middle-level and high-level magic weapon carriages, and the price of each level is ten times different!

As for the three-star carriages of the magic weapon level, the number is very small, and only the imperial court and aristocratic families have some.

However, those are not for sale, and outsiders can't even think about buying them.

Behind the large carriage with more than one hundred vehicles, there are hundreds of top-quality horses.

Among them, there are only a dozen flood-scaled horses, and the rest are war horses.

Most of these war horses were obtained from the trade of Bingzhou merchants with the Qiang people in the west and the Xiongnu and Xianbei in the north.

Although not as good as the Flood Scaled Horse, they are all one-star high-level war horses, and they can travel 800 miles a day, which is still possible.

However, after these merchants in Bingzhou ate the spoils of Lu Bu this time, at least in a few years, there will be no shortage of one-star high-level war horses to use.

Those are several million one-star high-class war horses. Lu Bu himself will keep at most 300,000 horses, and the rest will definitely be sold in exchange for various military funds to build his own elite cavalry.

Last year's raid battle was a typical example of the Huns falling and Lu Bu eating.

When the spoils of this round are digested, there will be no longer a large army in Bingzhou that can be compared with Lu Bu.

At that time, he will inevitably become the target of all parties in Bingzhou.

If Lu Bu hadn't been married before joining the army, he would definitely become the marriage partner of the major forces.

For a four-star general like Lu Bu with unparalleled combat power, it is definitely not a loss for all parties to marry their own daughters.

It's a pity that Lu Bu is already married, and his daughter is seventeen years old this year.

After a while, more than a hundred rangers here, led by the steward, came to this group of one-star high-level horses and began to choose their favorite horses.

The hundreds of war horses here have long been tamed, and after selection, just get familiar with them casually.

All the rangers here in Bingzhou can ride horses, and they are skilled in horsemanship.

Wang Qiang has high-level riding skills, so he is no exception, and his riding skills are definitely the best among these people.

Ninety-nine out of ten one-star Acquired Awakened people only have one or two primary talents, unlike Wang Qiang, whose talents and skills are all advanced.

He didn't use the high-level talent upgrade card he got, because he wasn't sure about his urgently needed enhancement target in the future.

Anyway, the talent upgrade card can be effective immediately after use, so he is not in a hurry, so it is better to keep it as his hole card.

In case of danger, choose to fight recklessly or run away, and then use it.

If you fight hard, you will naturally choose to upgrade the talent of natural power.

But if you want to run away, it is undoubtedly the talent of swiftness.

He guessed that after the advanced skills were upgraded, he might get a qualitative change.

Because according to his previous intentional or unintentional inquiries, he learned that the three-star masters are all advanced talents.

Four-star super masters turn their talents into supernatural powers.

There is a great possibility that once he upgrades the advanced talent, he will get a talent supernatural power.

Wang Qiang continued to use identification techniques on more than a dozen one-star high-level war horses nearby, and quickly picked the best one among them.

The quality of the war horse has a great influence on whether you can display your advanced cavalry skills, so you must choose it.

No one knows whether this escort operation will encounter horse bandits.

In short, there is no big mistake in being careful.

After making an appointment for a cup of tea, everyone chose their mounts.

The remaining war horses were naturally taken away by several shop assistants and returned to the company's stable.

"Set off!"

Following the order from the shopkeeper of Huiyuan Company, the huge team began to head towards the east gate of Pingshan Town.

Shanyin County is located in the northeast of Pingshan Town, and most of the businesses in Pingshan Town are heading towards this road.

Along with the Huiyuan firm, there are two other firms that are slightly smaller than the Huiyuan firm.

However, they transported wine and cloth and boots.

In Pingshan Town, there are several large wineries, a textile workshop, and a leather boot workshop, with a large production capacity.

These things are all needed by Lu Bu's army.

Bingzhou is located in a bitter cold area, and wine is also a military requirement.

In heavy snow days, good wine can keep out the cold, and it is also a guarantee of combat power. Especially when going to the north to attack the Huns, it is one of the necessary military resources.

It can be said that since Lv Bu returned from a great victory a few months ago, the powerful firms in Bingzhou have been trying their best to bite off a big piece of fat in Lv Bu's hands and make a lot of money.

In the entire Bingzhou, in the past thousand years, there has never been a year that has been so lively, and the businesses have been so enthusiastic.

Everything is driven by interests.

Colleagues are enemies, this sentence is always true.

Huiyuan Company's trips, of course, will not cooperate with peers, and the selected partners are all irrelevant businesses.

Half an hour later, the three companies joined forces outside the East City, forming a very large caravan, and drove towards Shanyin County in an orderly manner.

Because no matter the horses or chariots, they abandoned their manpower and moved forward as fast as possible. After only a dozen breaths, they disappeared in the distance of the east gate of Pingshan Town.
