Chapter 196 The Grassland Where the Storm Is Approaching

Hubayi enthusiastically introduced his products to a Uighur merchant.

"This is a good clay pot. It is the most suitable for cooking oil tea."

Hubayi held a clay pot to sell, and the Uighur businessman on the opposite side was obviously moved.

This small kettle is quite exquisite, as long as it is placed on the charcoal fire, it can burn a pot of oil tea that is enough for the whole family to drink.

Hubayi has dozens of identical pots in his hand, all produced by a workshop in a village beside the Dashui Gorge.

Hubayi thought of that workshop. There were not many potters in that workshop, and each villager only had to be responsible for part of the work, but such a workshop could produce hundreds of such small kettles a day.

There is also an exaggerated printed relief on the body of the kettle. This exaggerated style seems vulgar to the people of Datang, but it is very popular with the food merchants.

Sure enough, not only Dashi merchants, Uighur merchants also liked this exaggerated printed relief, and praised it in their hands.

The Uighur merchant on the opposite side couldn't put it down, and he took all the goods of Hubayi at once.

After the delivery was over, another Uighur businessman came to Hubayi's booth.

"Do you sell ironware here?"

The Uighur merchant's voice was very low, and Hubayi immediately became vigilant.

Ironware is a commodity that is forbidden to be sold to the Uighurs by the Tyrant Mansion. When entering the Baowenshan Market, the small official in charge of the market has repeatedly ordered that once found selling ironware to the Uyghurs, not only will they be disqualified from entering the market, they will also be banned from entering the market. All income was confiscated.

Hubayi immediately shook his head, and the Uighur businessman on the opposite side felt a little depressed.

Xieliluo is the leader of a tribe on the Mobei Grassland. His tribe is close to the border, and it is impossible to survive just by grazing, so he can only do business with Datang and subsidize some money to maintain the tribe. Survive.

Hubayi was vigilant in his heart, and after Xieliluo left, Hubayi immediately told the small official in Baowenshan Market the appearance of this Uighur who wanted to buy ironware.

The name of this small official is Zhang Jie, and he is a six-test player who has just entered the game.

Hard-working six-test and seven-test players want to earn more contribution points, so they can only work in remote places like Baowen Mountain.

Zhang Jie's ambition is naturally not to be a small official looking at the market. Zhang Jie, who loved spy war dramas since he was a child, immediately changed his job and became a [inside guard].

After receiving the informant from Hubayi, Zhang Jie immediately set his sights on the Uighur businessman.

Xieliluo didn't know yet that he had been targeted, and he was still asking the merchants in Datang if he could buy ironware.

In the evening, two sturdy government servants suddenly appeared behind Xieliluo, and then a small official holding a document blocked in front of Xieliluo.

The secret path was not good, Xie Liluo looked at the burly yamen servant behind him, and chose Zhang Jie who rushed to the front.

Well done, although Zhang Jie is doing clerical work, as a player who aspires to become a legendary spy in the game, he has also invested a lot of contribution points in the agility attribute points.

According to his agility of 9 points, Xieliluo's movements are very slow.

Zhang Jie quickly got out of the way, then lifted his foot slightly and tripped the opponent.

Xieliluo saw the young clerk on the opposite side, stepping away at a speed he couldn't understand, and then Xieliluo felt that he was tripped by something and fell to the ground.

Two yamen servants quickly stepped forward and pressed Xiililuo to the ground.

"take away!"

Full of ambition, Zhang Jie ordered two native yamen servants to escort the co-worker to the yamen of the Yantie Bureau next to the Baowenshan market.

After the monopoly of salt and iron, a series of modern and modern tax systems such as the commercial tax levied on the mutual market were formulated by the Salt and Iron Bureau.

So now King Jianning has two tax systems.

One is the rent and mediocrity adjustment system from the governor's office to the county government tax collectors. This system collects taxes on agriculture and population, which is the original agricultural tax of the Tang Dynasty.

The other set is collected by the Salt and Iron Bureau, which includes a series of modern taxes such as industrial and commercial tax, mutual market export tax and salt and iron surtax.

All the taxes collected by the Salt and Iron Bureau went directly into the pockets of the Tyrant Mansion, so the officials of the Tang Dynasty had no idea how much money King Jianning had in his hands.

It is also the rich and powerful King Jianning who can spend money on the large-scale Leopard Wenshan to buy war horses.

In the yamen of the Yantie Bureau, there is a secret prison cell remodeled by Zhang Jie, and there are various torture instruments designed by him, which makes Zhang Jie's prestige in Baowenshan Salt and Iron Bureau unmatched for a while, even higher than the director.

Zhang Jie often heard comments from the yamen servants, and they all thought that Zhang Jie might be a pervert who liked to torture people.

In the Salt and Iron Bureau, it was widely rumored that Zhang Jie had "somewhat" perverted special hobbies. Even the smoothest government servants would tremble three times when they saw Zhang Jie, and everyone avoided him.

When Xieliluo saw these brand new instruments of torture, he was also a little terrified.

Those merchant tribes close to Datang received orders from Uighur Yazhang to buy some ironware from Datang back.

As for the purpose of these ironware, Xieliluo is naturally clear. There are some blacksmiths in their tribe, who remelt the ironware of Tang Dynasty into molten iron, and then forge them into weapons.

The Mobei grassland lacks iron, and the Tang Dynasty has very strict control over weapons. In the past, Mobei used this method to forge weapons.

Xieliluo looked at Zhang Jie with a guilty conscience, and when Zhang Jie excitedly introduced the tiger stool, Xieliluo shouted: "I recruited it! I recruited it!"

Zhang Jie looked at Xieliluo, his heart was full of dissatisfaction, recruited?Why did I recruit you before interrogation!

Uyghur spies are so impolite!This is an insult to Zhang Jie's professionalism!

Seeing that the Han official's face was even more ugly, Xieliluo immediately said: "I was ordered by Yazhang to come to Datang to buy iron!"

After saying this, Xieli Luo even told his own tribe.

Zhang Jie was also speechless when he saw such a soft-boned cooperation. He didn't expect this guy to look tall, but he was actually a softie.

Xie Liluo went on to say: "Governor, please forgive me! Please forgive me! I have told you everything I know!"

Xieli Luo begged for mercy in fluent Chinese.

These border tribes close to the Tang Dynasty actually had a delicate relationship with the Uighurs of the Tang Dynasty.

On the one hand, they need to take refuge in the Uyghurs, relying on the Uyghur tooth tents to allocate pastures, and spontaneously maintain the order of the grasslands.

The living environment of the grassland is too harsh, if there is no order, everyone will fall into chaos, so although this order is not fair, most tribes obey.

This is why as long as a tribe rises strongly on the grassland, the unification of the grassland can be completed quickly.

But if they are oppressed severely, these border tribes will flee to the Tang Dynasty to seek protection, and those tribes that can't survive will even directly submit to the Tang Dynasty.

So tribal leaders like Xieliluo, who are typical double-faced factions, immediately recruited all of them when they heard Zhang Jie's persecution.

Zhang Jie only felt that the "Ten Torture Tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty" that he had learned from the street stalls was useless, and he said in a dispirited way: "Tell me, tell me in detail, who told you to smuggle the ironware. "

Xie Liluo immediately said: "Shangguan, I will tell you! I received the order of Prince Yidijian to buy ironware in Datang."

Prince Gedijian?
"Go on."

"In previous years, the tooth tent would also allow us to collect iron wares, but I bought them sporadically from the village. This was also the prince's urgency, so I had to find merchants to buy them."

"Is it because of the war?"

"Yeah, I heard that the battle on the front line is tight and the wear and tear is high, so the rear has stepped up to forge iron and transport it to the front."

"It's a lot of consumption?" Zhang Jie was a little puzzled. Recently, he was also reading the battle report of Beiting. Now the player has entered Mobei and led the Ge Luolu tribe to play hide-and-seek with the Uighur Khan's army on the grassland. The Khan's army only went around in circles on the grassland, and there was no major war at all.

But why did Prince Yidijian of the Uyghur coerce these border tribes to buy steel in the name of tight grassland warfare?

Zhang Jie instinctively felt the unusualness.

He then asked, "What's happening on the grassland recently?"

"The big thing? The big thing is the great war in the west, and half of our tribe's warriors have been taken away. Everyone is looking forward to an early end."

Zhang Jie asked, "Apart from this?"

"Except for this? Recently, the tax collectors of the dental tent have come several times, and we have already handed over half of the animals."

Xieliluo was quite depressed, and the tax collectors from Yazhang came several times and found various reasons to exploit the tribe.

If it hadn't been forced to the point where there was no other way, Xieliluo would not have taken the risk to come to Datang to purchase ironware that was strictly prohibited from export.

Xieliluo sighed and said: "Only a few years of peaceful life have been lived on the grassland, and it will be chaotic again in a blink of an eye."

"It's messed up? Why is that?"

"The war in the west has not ended for so long. Everyone is saying that Khan Gele is old and can no longer control the grassland."

Xieliluo is the leader of a small tribe, but he can survive in the cracks, and his intuition is quite keen.

Xie Liluo said: "The wolves on the grassland are at their weakest when the wolf king is getting old. Everyone is rumored that Uighur needs a younger and stronger wolf."
