Kingdom of Heaven and Han
Chapter 102 The Robber
Chapter 102 The Robber
Zhang Jun walked out of the inn and stretched himself.Looking at a tree near the house not far ahead, it was covered with fiery red trees.For some reason, it was not far from the city, but no one picked it and ate it.
Li Chengle came out of the house and saw Zhang Jun standing there motionless, looking into the distance.He couldn't help but stepped forward, followed Zhang Jun's gaze, but found nothing.He said, "Commander, what are you doing standing here?"
Zhang Jun pointed to the birch tree and said, "It's strange. Seeing that many people in Tangzhou city have no food to eat, it's very pitiful. The tree in front is full of birch trees, why no one picks them to eat? At least they will fill their stomachs."
Hearing this, Li Chengle smiled and said: "Commander, you can't eat too much of the scorpion, you can only eat it fresh. Now the people's stomachs are short of rice and meat, how dare they eat scorpions?"
Zhang Jun nodded, then shook his head after a while: "No. If poor people don't eat it, they can pick it up and sell it for money."
Li Chengle said: "In the mountains around here, there are many scorpions. If you want to eat, just pick a few from the side of the road. Whoever pays for it!"
Zhang Jun listened with a smile: "So that's the case. Although this place is flat, there are quite a lot of scorpions."
Li Chengle said: "That's natural. There are such trees everywhere in the nearby mountains, and there are naturally many flat lands."
Zhang Jun nodded.Turning around and looking at the inn, he said, "Aren't those people up yet? Is it possible to sleep like this?"
Li Chengle smiled and said: "It's natural. We all follow the commander, who dares to be lazy? The commander said that they are going to leave today, and they packed up and saluted there. The distance to Dengzhou is not close, and it will take a few days."
"Well, it's good that you know." Zhang Jun nodded. "The money you brought on the way is almost spent. You and I will go to the gold and silver shop and exchange some money. After paying the room fee, we will go on the road."
After speaking, he took Li Chengle and left the inn.Having lived in Tangzhou for a few days, the location of the gold and silver shop has already been known, so I walked there slowly.
At this time, copper coins are commonly used in the world.It's just that copper coins are too heavy, and many places need to pay taxes for bringing a lot of copper coins, so they don't carry a lot of them when traveling long distances.When Zhang Jun and others left Ye County, Wang Xiaolie gave them 50 taels of silver.The gold and silver shop is doing the business of exchanging copper coins for gold and silver.Gold and silver shops and bookstores in the Song Dynasty were all over the place, and they were not ordinary businesses, and they also had some official colors.
Walking on the road, Zhang Jun said: "Now that the army is in chaos, I don't know how the gold and silver shop will do business."
Li Chengle said: "What's the point? As long as the officials allow them to do it, then they can do it. Who doesn't love money as an official? These gold and silver shops raise money every month, and naturally someone will support them."
Zhang Jun nodded.Having lived in Tangzhou for a few days, I am already familiar with the general situation.
The one who manages Tangzhou now is a small school that used to be in the army.After the Jin soldiers retreated, he recruited exiles, and more than 500 people under him occupied the city.After Zhao Gou ascended the throne, he also issued an official notice to them as Quan Zhizhou.
These small officials and small schools are different from Wang Xiaolie, and they have no long-term plans.Occupying the city does have the effect of stabilizing the place.On the other hand, they only have money in their eyes, and most of the other things are left alone.At this time, in Tangzhou city, fish and dragons were mixed together, and it was very chaotic.
When he arrived at the gold and silver shop, Zhang Jun asked the supervisor about today's silver price, and took out a small silver ingot of five taels to exchange for copper coins.
After changing the money, let Li Chengle take it, and the two slowly walked back to the inn.
In the roadside tea shop, a man watched the two leave, got up and went into the gold and silver shop.After entering the room and seeing that there was no one inside, the man said to the supervisor behind the counter: "Director Tan, how much gold and silver did that customer exchange just now?"
Manager Tan said: "It's not a big deal, it's just a change of five taels of silver."
The man said: "Let me see the silver ingot!"
Although Supervisor Tan was unwilling, he still handed over the silver ingot that Zhang Jun had exchanged just now.
The man took the silver ingot in his hand and looked left and right.Said: "This silver ingot looks very regular, not privately cast. Director Tan, you have been in this business for decades, can you tell where it came from?"
Director Tan said: "Isn't there an engraving on the silver ingot? It was cast by the Henan Prefecture of Xijing. It is an official silver ingot."
The man agreed.Looking carefully at the silver ingot, there are indeed many words engraved on it.It's just that I don't know how to read, so I don't see any tricks.
After playing with it for a while, the man handed back the silver ingot again.Said: "According to the supervisor, are these two guests from wealthy families? When they took out the silver ingots, did they have any money left in their pockets?"
Director Tan said: "I'm in business, where do I pay attention to those?"
The man sneered after hearing this: "Director, this business can continue here, it depends on our support. If you evade like this, you are blinding your dog's eyes! As a supervisor, how can you not observe these things? Tell me quickly! "
Director Tan had no choice but to say, "The one who exchanged the money was a young customer. He took out the silver ingot and didn't care about it. Looking at him, he has a big purse. I think there should be something in it. If you exchange money like this, you must come from a wealthy family." .”
The man smiled after hearing this: "That's good. With us to take care of you, you can do business here. What to ask you, what to answer, and the rest of the things have nothing to do with you. Now that the war is in chaos, it's better to be smarter."
The supervisor sighed.After a while, he asked: "Aren't you going to rob this guest's money?"
The man said coldly: "You don't need to know these things! Well, I'm going, don't ask too much!"
After speaking, the man left the gold and silver shop and returned to the tea stand.The two men sitting there hurriedly asked, "Brother Sun, how are you?"
The man surnamed Sun said: "I made the question clear. He is a son of a rich family. He just went to the gold and silver shop to exchange five taels of silver. According to the manager, judging by his appearance, he should still have gold and silver on him."
The man next to him clapped his hands: "Straight mother thief, it can be regarded as a business! In the past half a month, there is not even a decent merchant in Tangzhou City. How can I survive? Look at this customer, who is doing things carelessly, it must be a good deal!"
The man surnamed Sun said: "Such a son of a rich family must be followed when he goes out. We should not be careless. Send someone to the inn where he lives to check. See how many people follow him and whether he has a knife or gun. Be careful!"
The two men nodded again and again, looking eager to try.
At this time, the surrounding states and counties were occupied by powerful people, the chaos was abnormal, and business travel was blocked.The same is true for Tangzhou.The nominal Zhizhou only manages a large structure, and there are as many rats and snakes below.These few people are a group of robbers, a total of twelve people.In order to be famous, he randomly recruited an idler and became a brother, known as the "Thirteen Taibao".
This group of people is a powerful force in Tangzhou City.Collect protection fees from local merchants and rob merchants, there is nothing they don't do.It's just that business travel has been blocked in recent months.Although Tangzhou is located on an important road, there have been no foreign merchants for several months.No one is robbing, these people have long been exhausted.
