Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 228 Liaodong Great Expansion (6)

Five days later, at the gate of Xuantu County.

"Stop, put everything down, check!"

Two teams of officers and soldiers stood at the gate of the city, with more than ten people in each team. One team checked the people entering the city, and the other team checked the people who left the city.

Now Xuantu County is very strict in inspection, because Xuantu County is the most important checkpoint between Liaozhou and the grassland. After leaving Xuantu County and going thousands of miles north, you will find the grassland. Although there is a city in the north of Xuantu County, but Most of them are newly built, and there are not many people, so this Xuantu County is the largest market for grassland people and Liaozhou people to trade, but the transactions are all ordinary horses, clothes, furs, grains, etc. Important materials such as salt and iron are sold to the grassland people in limited quantities by the government represented by Liu Wei every year.The prairie people need to exchange cattle, sheep, horses and pure women.

Liu Wei used these things in the army. Horses armed the army, cattle were sent to the troops in the field, sheep were used to improve food, and women were rewarded to those who had made military exploits and wanted to go home, as wives. It is up to them to be concubines.

But even if the important materials are controlled by the government, this Xuantu County is still an important trading market. Before coming here, Liu Wei considered that this trading market should be placed in the northernmost part of the land developed by Xuantu County. It is called Yicheng, which means trading.But where to set up this city, Liu Wei hasn't figured it out yet.But as far as Liu Wei knows, the land reclamation army has now reclaimed the land near the present Harbin City, and Liu Wei initially decided to set up Yicheng there.

"Go over!"

After the soldiers checked, they released Liu Wei and the others.

After entering the county town of Xuantu County, Wei Yan said to Liu Wei: "Master, are you worrying too much? Look at how strict the inspection is. How could someone violate your order!"

"Well, let's have a look first."

Liu Wei didn't explain much, but walked straight to the trading market.

"Look, this is made of high-quality silk. Take it back and propose to the beauties in your tribe, and they will definitely marry you!"

A chubby businessman said to a tall and thick Wuheng man.

"Well, it looks pretty good, how much?"

Wuheng people asked.

"Two sheep!"

After thinking for a while, the fat businessman stretched out two fingers.

"Two sheep? Are you kidding me! The same kind of silk is sold over there. You only sell one sheep. You want two. You are trying to rob me!"

The Wuheng man grabbed the fat businessman's collar.

"No, no, listen to me, my silk is different from theirs, my silk..."

The fat businessman saw the ferocious look of the Wuheng people, and hurriedly wanted to explain.

"Excuse me, do you think I'm from Wuheng, and you want to lie to my sheep! I have to beat you up today, let you know how good I am, and see if you dare to bully me next time !"

As he said that, the Wuheng man raised his fist and was about to punch the fat businessman in front of him.

Seeing this scene, Liu Wei was about to step forward to stop him when he saw a group of patrolling officers and soldiers approaching.

"Stop, what are you doing!"

The patrol captain grabbed the Wuheng people who were about to strike.

"You are an officer and soldier, you come to judge. This Han man lied to me. He wanted me two sheep for silk that could be exchanged for one sheep!"

The Wuheng people said angrily.

"Is that so?"

asked the patrol captain.

"Yes, it is!"

The businessman did not dare to hide the fact, and then spoke truthfully.

"Now I order you to sell this piece of silk to Brother Wuheng for the price of half a sheep!"

said the patrol captain.

"However, I will lose in that case. For the sake of being Han Chinese, please forgive me this time. I just want to make more money. Besides, I will sell two sheep and buy two sheep. It's his business not to buy it, but how much it sells for is my business!"

The fat businessman quibbled.

"Tell you, don't think that with the protection of the prince, you people can do evil. The prince said that as long as the aliens who make good friends with us are also our brothers, we must be fair and selfless to our brothers and never favor anyone. !"

After finishing speaking, the patrol captain snatched two bolts of silk from the fat businessman, and then took a sheep from the Wuheng people, and exchanged them with the other party.

"Sir, you are such a good man!"

Thanks a lot to the people of Wuheng.

"You're welcome, I'm just following the prince's order, if you want to thank, thank our prince!"

said the patrol captain.

The Wuheng man took the silk and satin and thanked him and left.

"Boy, do you know who I am?"

The fat businessman said gloomyly: "To tell you the truth, my surname is Qiao, and I am from the Qiao family in Xiangping. Both of our young ladies are married to the prince and they are the side princesses, and my brother Qiao Long is from Xuantu County. The accountant of the Qiao Family Chamber of Commerce, boy, do you dare to leave your name, and I will let you go around without food!"

The fat businessman said threateningly.

"Hmph, I'm still afraid that you won't succeed. Jiang Yiqu, I don't care if your brother is a dragon or a tiger. In Xuantu County, you have to abide by the rules set by the prince!"

Said the patrol captain named Jiang Yiqu.

Jiang Yiqu, Jiang Yiqu.

Liu Wei felt familiar when he heard the name, and after thinking hard, he remembered it.

This Jiang Yiqu is Yuan Shao's general.In Liyang County, Yuan Shao, who was defeated by Cao Cao at Guandu, was met, and the stragglers were summoned to send Yuan Shao back to Jizhou safely.

Being able to gather defeated soldiers during Yuan Shao's defeat, and also collected hundreds of thousands, also proved Jiang Yiqu's impressive ability.

"Okay, Jiang Yiqu, right? You wait, you just wait to be dismissed from office and go home!"

The fat businessman gave Jiang Yiqu a vicious look, then turned around and left in despair.

"It's gone, it's all gone, there's nothing to see!"

Jiang Yiqu dispersed the crowd of onlookers, and then continued to lead the soldiers on patrol.

And Liu Wei was also very curious about how this matter would turn out, so he said to Wei Yan: "Let's not rush away, stay and see how this matter is resolved! Go, continue shopping!"

After speaking, he led the horse and walked forward again.

In the evening, Liu Wei went to a clean and bright inn from a distance, and lived in with Huang Xu and Wei Yan.

It is still an old habit to eat on the first floor where there are many people, and listen to the local news by the way, because there will always be some people who like to eat, drink and brag in crowded places.Tell them all the big things and new things they know to show that they are well-informed.The ability is not bad.

After the three of Liu Wei sat down and ordered the food, they pricked up their ears to listen to these people.
