Chapter 1445 The Qin Family
However, he also eagerly put away the copper coins and retreated. Anyway, such a person would not buy his own rice balls, and it would be good if he could sell some water money.

As the carriage began to be placed in the open space under the care of the coachman, a dozen strong men with swords and swords jumped out of the carriage, first glanced at the people present, and then began to form a guard formation.Then two pretty maids got out of the carriage, spread out a mat in the shade and served tea and snacks.

Until this moment, a middle-aged man in silk clothes with a proud face got out of the carriage under the eyes of everyone expecting.

Seeing this man's ostentation, everyone present carefully looked at him.

These country folk thought they were dignitaries, and they all bowed their heads nervously and did not dare to make a sound, while those who looked like businessmen, after looking at the middle-aged man, curled their lips in disdain, and chatted among themselves.

Over there, a maid was fanning the fan, a maid was pouring tea, and there were two guards behind him. The middle-aged man who was resting on the mat, although he was dissatisfied that the businessmen didn't take him seriously, he didn't say much, and just looked after himself. I laughed with the two maids.

"I said, brother, what kind of goods did you bring in this time?"

A middle-aged man holding a fan to cool himself, looking dark and thin, wearing a short-sleeved open-chested singlet, came over and stood outside the mat and said to the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes first glanced at the middle-aged man in single clothes, the corners of his mouth trembled, but he still said with a smile on his face: "I don't have any goods, I just bought more than a dozen cars of special products from the Augustus Empire." That's all." The tone seemed to be indifferent, but there was a sense of arrogance in it.

"More than a dozen cars? All right, now that the empire is in civil turmoil, the special products of the empire are valuable, and the profit can be multiplied by just changing hands. Oh, I can't do it, I just bought a car of machetes." The middle-aged man in single clothes shook his head and sighed. .

"Machete?"

The middle-aged man in Chinese clothes, who was still looking complacent, immediately jumped up in surprise, and the people around him who heard this also looked at the middle-aged man in plain clothes in shock.

"Yeah, if it wasn't for the low cost, I wouldn't need to buy just one car. Now, that's the only car. I'm so poor that I can't even afford a four-wheeled car." The middle-aged man in single clothes casually pointed to a double car. Single carriage.

At this time, a young man who was waiting for the horse in front of the carriage grinned, and lifted the curtain to reveal a handful of metal objects tied with straw inside.

Seeing the real thing in front of his eyes, everyone, including the middle-aged man in fancy clothes, was in awe.Although the Qin family does not restrict commercial activities, it strictly controls military supplies like other princes, so merchants who can trade arms are all great guys.

The middle-aged man in Chinese clothes didn't dare to underestimate this middle-aged man in single clothes who looked like a coolie, so he hurriedly welcomed him into the mat.

And whoever was an idiot from a businessman in the surrounding area immediately leaned over and made friends with each other. After everyone communicated with each other, the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes said to the middle-aged man in single clothes: "Brother, since you are so powerful, why are you so powerful?" Going out with an entourage? Are you not afraid of encountering strong people?"

"Hey, what follower, that's my son!"

The middle-aged man in single clothes smiled and said: "As for the strong man? Hehe, who dares to touch the people of Mingyue City in the territory of more than a dozen princes?"

This remark was approved by everyone: "Yes, the Qin family is famous all over the world. Which of the princes around here doesn't act according to the face of the Qin family. We don't need to bring guards when we trade in these places. Whoever dares to provoke us is tantamount to provoking us." The Qin family!"

Everyone responded in unison, with a kind of pride in their tone.It's no wonder that the Qin family is the strongest vassal in this area, and they always beat others. No one dares to beg for wildfire. This makes the people under the Qin family's influence somewhat arrogant.

"Brother is right, but the farther away the arms trade is, the easier it is to do. Is it true that Brother only plans to do business with nearby princes?" The middle-aged man in Huafu continued to ask.

"Didn't I say that you are so poor that you can't even afford a carriage?" The middle-aged man in single clothes sipped the fine wine contributed by the middle-aged man in fine clothes and laughed.

"Uh, then why do you..."

Hearing this, the complexion of the middle-aged man in Huafu is not very good-looking, he thinks he has been cheated.Think about it too, if you are really a powerful person, how could you not even have an entourage?
"Hey, I want to know how I got the ammunition? I have more to be taken care of by my clan brother. My clan brother is also a talented person. He was promoted by his superiors. The clan brother has a little power in his hands." , I didn’t forget my clan brother, so I got a note for me.” The middle-aged man in single clothes laughed.

"Oh!"

Everyone who listened carefully made meaningful voices, and there was a strange light in their eyes.

Seeing everyone's eyes, the single-clothed middle-aged man showed a smug expression, smiled and said: "Hey, I know what you are thinking, do you want to report to the public security station?
"Hey, my elder brother helped me get a son from a legitimate way. He is aboveboard and absolutely did not violate the laws of the Qin family. Otherwise, would I still spread the word so arrogantly?"

"Ah? Where, how could we doubt it?"

Everyone shook their hands in embarrassment and said, everyone thinks it is true, it really did not follow the rules, and they must not dare to publicize it everywhere.

However, there are also some people with more flexible minds among them, thinking that this is intentional confusion, so they confirm their determination to inform the whistleblower. Anyway, if they make mistakes, they will be sentenced to hard labor for a few days. If they are correct, they will report it themselves.

"It seems that the elder brother has this elder brother to take care of him, and he will definitely make a lot of money in the future. The younger brother also needs the elder brother to take care of him. Come on, come on." As he spoke, the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes enthusiastically poured wine for the middle-aged man in single clothes .

A man dressed as an aristocrat fawning over a man dressed as a coolie, this scene did not make the people around feel any weirdness.

Because, the merchants in the entire southeast peninsula know that all the merchants who can trade in arms are extremely rich.Even if it is difficult at the beginning, as long as you get involved in the arms trade, it won't take long for the money to be used to pave the ground!
While everyone was flattering, the sound of horseshoes came again from a distance. With such a clear sound of horseshoes, everyone knew it was the cavalry, and immediately looked up.

What came into view was a dozen cavalrymen with red flags on their backs. Before everyone could react, they rushed down the road surrounded by a young man in leather armor and stopped near the teahouse.

When everyone saw that there was a word "Qin" surrounded by lightning on the top of their flag, the villagers immediately fell to their knees in fright.

Although they couldn't read, they couldn't even dream of forgetting the pattern representing all living beings within the territory of the Qin family.

And even if the opponent is not a big shot of the Qin family, or a small warrior, they, the countrymen, will bow down, because they are not as free as businessmen, and they rely on the fields for food.

Ordinary people in the entire southeastern peninsula are tenant farmers, and any warrior is a landlord, which is inherently different.

The merchants carefully looked at the pattern in the middle of the flag under the Qin character, and after finding out that it was a pattern of melon petals, they all heaved a sigh of relief, stood up and stood aside with their hands down and their heads bowed.

"Is the boss here? Take rice balls and tea for 15 people." A cavalryman shouted after scanning the crowd.

The well-informed teahouse owner knew that the other party was not his lord, so he didn't kneel on the ground and bow his head like a businessman. Hearing this, he immediately straightened up and ran quickly to serve the rice balls. Serve tea.

These cavalrymen did not dismount, and the only young man who was not leaning on the flag behind him said: "Time is running out, take the rice balls to eat on the road." After speaking, he picked up a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp, grabbed the rice balls and stuffed them into his arms.And the other cavalry did the same.

While serving carefully, the teahouse owner secretly looked at these warriors.

When he saw that these samurai uniforms were not gorgeous, they could even be said to be too simple, because he saw that these samurai's clothes were patched, he couldn't help praying secretly, hoping that these samurai would not throw away a few copper coins casually, otherwise he would But there was nothing left.

The young warrior casually threw a silver coin to the owner of the teahouse, pulled the horse rope, and said, "Let's go!"

He led the other cavalry rumbling onto the road and left quickly.

The group of knights galloped on the road for a while, and suddenly rushed off the road into the grass in one place.

But it cannot be said that it is a grassland. The looming roadbed indicates that this is obviously a rural road, but few people walk on it, and it has been covered by weeds.However, under the ravages of more than a dozen war horses, the trampled weeds can only make this country road see the light of day again.

Not long after the cavalry galloped, a relatively wide dirt road appeared, and the hazy scene of the village in the distance had emerged, and the figures of farmers working in the farmland on the side were also faintly visible.

As the village got closer, farmers carrying farm tools also appeared on the road.Seeing the pattern of cavalry leaning on the flag, these farmers immediately retreated to the sides, kneeling on the ground with their foreheads on the ground.In such a ceremony of paying homage, the cavalry continued to advance through the village.

After running for ten minutes again, a small town appeared in front of my eyes.In the center of the town is a slightly protruding mountain, and on the mountain is a city surrounded by wooden walls. It is said to be a city, but it is actually a small cottage with a length and width of about 200 meters.

However, this cottage can have the name of the city, thanks to the prominent building in the center of the city, which is about ten meters high and belongs to the architectural style of the southeast peninsula.As long as there is a "castle tower", no matter how small the area is, it is still a city, which is recognized in the southeast peninsula.
