Legend of the Knight

Chapter 130

On March 70th, the caravan of Shennong Baicaomen set off from Luoyang, and after a journey of more than [-] days, finally at the end of May, the huge caravan of Shennong Baicaomen arrived in Ganzhou.

Looking at the Tucheng of Ganzhou in the distance, Huang Xiaoshi let out a long breath and finally arrived.

The caravan had to travel several miles to reach the city, but Huang Xiaoshi took the lead and went to the city first.

It's still early today, Huang Xiaoshi hopes to hand over the court's errands within today, and try not to stay overnight.

There is a saying that nights are long and dreams are many. If tomorrow, the imperial court sends a document and asks him to send the goods to Jiayu, then the skin will still be peeled off.

During the nearly two-month journey, Huang Xiaoshi was tired, others were also tired, and his heart was even more tired.

The most difficult road for the caravan is from Lanzhou to Wuwei.

This paragraph is completely messed up. It is impossible to tell whether it is a refugee or a bandit, whether it is a citizen or a bandit.

Coupled with the bewitching and incitement of people with ulterior motives, this section of the road was almost killed with a knife.

When we arrived in Wuwei, it was easy to leave at once, because the imperial court still had heavy guards in Wuwei.

There are outposts all the way around Wuwei, and there are cavalry patrolling back and forth. They not only want to cut off the commercial roads, but also clear up the fleeing tribes.

The refugees in this area have long since disappeared.

All the common people either waited in their own villages for the court to appease and distribute food, to see if they could survive until then; or they went out to look for food and were killed by the court soldiers as bandits.

As for the passing caravans, as long as there are no strict procedures, they will be blocked long before arriving in Wuwei.

The first pass is just to persuade you, if you insist on passing, they will not forcefully stop you.As for what will happen after passing the pass, it is up to you to be responsible.

Relying on the small flag and hand letter, Shennong Baicaomen's caravan passed the customs smoothly, and also took advantage of the remaining load of the caravan to collect a lot of other valuable goods.

These valuable goods are all "left behind" by other caravans here, and they are already ownerless, just piled up at the pass at random to expose to the sun and rain.

It was useless for the soldiers guarding the pass to hold these things, so Huang Xiaoshi only used a small amount of high-quality gold sore medicine and silver to collect these goods.

For these soldiers, gold sore medicine and silver are the hard currency.

When the caravan arrived in Wuwei, as expected, all the supplies were controlled by the military, and the money was no longer available.It was Huang Xiaoshi who took the letter and exchanged it with the supplies in his hand to get the supplies.

On the road from Wuwei to Ganzhou, although there is no need to worry about banditry, the food along the way is much worse. Basically, people and animals eat the same food.

This has finally reached Ganzhou, and I don't know how the situation in Ganzhou is.

Anyway, Huang Xiaoshi made up his mind and resolutely didn't go any further, otherwise he would lose his life to go in.

Not long after, Huang Xiaoshi brought back a team of officers and soldiers. As soon as the officers and soldiers arrived, they were divided into several teams and began to order goods one by one.

The goods were bundled neatly, and the officers and soldiers counted them very quickly. They only roughly counted the big bags on the horses under the guidance of the gatekeepers, and then ordered directly without even opening the big bags.

In this way, it took a full hour to finish ordering the [-] pieces of goods from the six teams.

This is a crude test.

After ordering the goods, the officers and soldiers returned to the city to report to them. They would come over and tell the caravan where to unload the goods.

This is the time when you are most likely to make mistakes, there are ten thousand ways to toss you, so Huang Xiaoshi hastily followed, and did not come back until dusk, half public and half private, finally settled the matter.

Ganzhou, as its name suggests, is because it is a green land on the edge of the desert, named for its sweet spring water.This is the east of the desert, the most important material distribution center and supply place, and it is irreplaceable.

As Huang Xiaoshi guessed, they only need to unload the goods here, and the subsequent distribution and scheduling are the affairs of the imperial court.

Although there will be another inspection later, the problem is not serious, and those are just details.

The public affairs are over, now it's time to talk about private goods.

Shennong Baicaomen brought a total of [-] pieces of goods this time, [-] of which were donated to the imperial court as military supplies, in exchange for the imperial court's tacit approval of the caravan carrying private goods.

The imperial court's acquiescence in carrying private goods did not start with Huang Xiaoshi.

For example, the "salt introduction system" currently used in the imperial court.

Because the cost of transportation in this era is too huge, it is so huge that the court has no money to pay.In the hands of the imperial court, the biggest payment method is actually various customs clearance rights.

Therefore, this dynasty encouraged merchants to transport grain to the frontier, and then distributed salt to them as a reward.

But the profit of official salt is actually very meager, because a large amount of profit has been turned into salt tax, so there is a tacit rule, that is, to carry private goods.

These private goods are the real profits of merchants when they sell them, and there is usually an agreed ratio for the amount of private goods. As long as you don't go too far, the court will turn a blind eye or even acquiesce.

Therefore, there are also reasons why private salt has been banned repeatedly.

It's all private salt, who can tell whether this package of private salt is compliant or not?
Since Shennong Baicaomen donated medicines, it was completely normal for them to bring some of their own medicines for sale.

It should be said that it is reasonable for Shennong Baicaomen to carry private goods. If they did not bring anything, it would be abnormal.

After Huang Xiaoshi returned to the caravan, what he saw were densely packed human heads.

what's going on?
After Huang Xiaoshi passed by, he asked a doorman and found out that these were all businessmen from all walks of life after seeing the caravan.

The fierce battle between the imperial court and the tribe did not scare away those businessmen who made money with their heads up. They have been gathering in Ganzhou, waiting for the road to Wuwei to be opened.

At this time, if anyone can pass the test first, then the money really needs to be bent down to pick it up.

The appearance of the Shennong Baicaomen caravan attracted everyone's attention, and everyone came to inquire about the news.

The caravan of Shennong Baicaomen is the first caravan to come from Wuwei during this period of time.

When these people learned that the caravan transported all extremely precious medicines, the whole Ganzhou was about to explode.

What are you waiting for to clear the customs, isn't this the spot.

Now, the team leaders are surrounded by groups of people, and I don't know if they thought they were pulling their son-in-law.Huang Xiaoshi, who was always low-key, slipped past quietly.

The official business is not over yet, specifically, there is one more thing.

Huang Xiaoshi found Ji Wushuang.

"I can only send you here." Huang Xiaoshi said to Ji Wushuang.

It was thanks to the court's subjugation of Ganzhou that Huang Xiaoshi was able to bring the letter to Ganzhou. If Wuwei was stopped, Huang Xiaoshi would have to find a way to get the [-] pieces of goods that Ji Wushuang had ordered. send it over.

In short, the Dragon King's order to Huang Xiaoshi was to transport [-] pieces of goods to Ganzhou, and he had already completed it.

Ji Wushuang brushed his horse with a horse brush and cleaned the dust from the horse, while looking at the dim sunset in the distance.

Huang Xiaoshi knew that what Ji Wushuang was looking at was not the sunset, but the desert under the setting sun, and what she was thinking of was her hometown outside the desert.

"What are you going to do next?" Huang Xiaoshi asked after walking up to Ji Wushuang.

Ji Wushuang didn't speak, and she didn't know what to do. Then, Ji Wushuang asked Huang Xiaoshi, "What about you?"

"I'm going to deal with the goods here. I'll see if I can buy some special products, and then I'll go back to Luoyang." Huang Xiaoshi said to Ji Wushuang, "How about I help you sell the goods together?" , fold it into gold and silver for you, so that you can go west conveniently.”

To the west is the great desert. Crossing the desert is not to mention a narrow escape, but it is also difficult and dangerous.

It is impossible to bring these [-] pieces of goods across the desert without certain organizational skills, experienced old guides, and without paying some casualties.

Ji Wushuang does not have these conditions now, and she does not have the ability to transport these medicines across the desert.

But facing the beauty, Huang Xiaoshi didn't have the slightest intention to keep her. He knew Ji Wushuang's temperament, and he wouldn't give up if he couldn't find her. All he could do was to help her as much as he could.

Years of life experience made Huang Xiaoshi understand that if he wants others to be good, he has to let go of his helping complex.

Huang Xiaoshi's suggestion was against the original intention of the order, because in the Western Regions, no matter what time it was, pills were more valuable than gold and silver.

After thinking for a while, Ji Wushuang nodded.

As of now there is no choice.

Unlike the Central Plains, Ganzhou has a lot of Hu merchants from the west. In order to reduce the load as much as possible when crossing the desert, gold and silver are usually used as currency.

Money is not gold and silver, but gold and silver are money by nature.

Compared with gold and silver, there are things of higher value, such as gems or jade.

But this kind of thing has a certain cultural attribute, and the price will plummet when the region is changed.

All over the world, only gold and silver are the common currency with the most stable value.

No matter how much you earn, if you convert the inconvenient elixir into gold and silver, the difficulty of transportation will be much easier. If it is a gold cake with higher purity, a few more horses will be enough.

Ji Wushuang asked Huang Xiaoshi, "If you sell the [-] items here, how much money can you make?"

Huang Xiaoshi slapped Ji Wushuang.

"Ah? You can earn five times!" Ji Wushuang was surprised.

Although Ji Wushuang wandered all over the country with the Tianlong Sect since she was a child, she has never been involved in business.

Because she does not need to master this knowledge.

Seeing Huang Xiaoshi's five fingers stretched out, Ji Wushuang felt that the hard work along the way was worth it.

Huang Xiaoshi said to Ji Wushuang with a mocking look on his face: "Miss sister, what is your pattern?

It's only five times the fuck, I haven't eaten enough soil, so I made such a trip. "

Huang Xiaoshi said to Ji Wushuang seriously, "Fifty times."

"Ah! This!" Ji Wushuang was truly stunned.

"Medicine is never for the poor." Huang Xiaoshi said to Ji Wushuang, "There is only one disease in this world that has no cure, and that is poverty. Because of poverty, there is no medicine to take."

"This..." Ji Wushuang gasped, not that what Huang Xiaoshi said was wrong, but that what he said was too right.

It was because he had seen too much misery in the world when he was a child that Ji Wushuang once took Tianlongjiao as his lifelong ideal.

"Although I can't say that everyone has no worries about food and clothing, I can't let children die of starvation like this, young people die of illness like this, and old people die in extreme pain after losing all dignity."

Yasha was in a trance for a moment, that person was no longer there.

He is the kind of person who forgets when you are happy and remembers when you are sad.

Just when Ji Wushuang felt sad, a voice sounded behind the two of them.

"Yasha, you're here."

After hearing this sentence, Huang Xiaoshi turned his head to look at the voice, and suddenly a chill rose from his feet and went straight to his back.

……

Standing behind Huang Xiaoshi and Ji Wushuang was an extremely tall, but rather thin man, dressed in a baggy black suit, as if he would be blown away by a gust of wind at any moment.

However, he stood extremely steadily, no matter in terms of posture, movement, or the expression on his face, he gave people an uncomfortable feeling.

Huang Xiaoshi has seen several super masters.

Wuxiazi is like the sea, I don't know its breadth.

Jiang Tianxiong is like a mountain that people look up to.

Shang Jingzhong is like a gentle giant.

And this he is an eagle, sharp, wild, domineering, and arrogant.

Huang Xiaoshi resisted the urge to die in his heart, and tried his best to salute this person in a calm tone, "Huang Xiaoshi."

The man nodded, he didn't need to sign up again.

This person is the leader of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, Dragon King Li Canglong.

In the past, in Huang Xiaoshi's mind, all the aborigines were Loubi, and no one could be taken seriously.

After years of hard work, although Huang Xiaoshi's vision is still so high, his heart has lowered a lot.

What Huang Xiaoshi had to admit was that all those who stood at the top, no matter who they were, could be called outstanding.Only by occupying the two points of [traveler] and [player] can I be on an equal footing with them mentally.

Regardless of the above factors, Huang Xiaoshi may not be able to surpass Gong Guangjie in all fairness.

Don't underestimate the old farmer Gong. Most people can't compare with his daring to take the lead, his unsuspecting mind, and his spirit of sharing wealth and honor after sharing adversity.

There have been many peasant uprisings in history, but as long as the leader has Gong Guangjie's level, it has probably been accomplished.

On the contrary, many of the heads of the six major sects are all conservative generations.

The world is peaceful, and these people are fine. Once the world is in chaos, they will not be able to withstand it alone.

……

Li Cangtian has never been a person who takes an ordinary path. When everyone thought that he had lost all his chips and was cleared from the table, his backhand was a hit.

Yes, the tribes in the Western Regions were defeated and they fled.

The Heavenly Dragon Sect was hit hard, and it had to go west with the tribes of the Western Regions.

But the Dragon King didn't leave.

The Dragon King stayed in Ganzhou alone. On the one hand, he gave orders to his subordinates, so he was willing to wait here.

On the other hand, although the Heavenly Dragon Sect has suffered heavy losses, the Eight Heavenly Dragons and the Dragon King are still there.

As long as the Dragon King is here, the Heavenly Dragon Cult is here.

As long as the Dragon King does not fall, the Heavenly Dragon Sect will not lose.

The imperial court forced the Dragon King to end himself, making him embarrassed and extremely disgraceful.

The way is:
The tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs, and the dragon walks in shallow water and is teased by shrimps.

Pure fart.

A tiger is a tiger wherever it is, and a dragon is a dragon wherever it is, unless it is a fake tiger or a dragon.

The Dragon King is like the last boss in the game, he was forced to leave his lair early.

Next, no one knows where this boss will go, but no matter what the Dragon King wants to do, it must be a stormy sea.
