A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The market was in operation every day, with officials and sergeants from Song and Liao countries watching eagerly.

No private trade allowed!

Just like the shipping department, merchants are not allowed to trade on their own in the market, and all communication is done by official intermediaries.

Human suspicion is amplified between the two enemies.

Businessmen value profit over parting.

Businessmen have no integrity!

So don’t leave businesspeople to face temptation alone.

So the authorities stepped in, and merchants were reduced to the role of organizing and transporting goods.

But official efficiency... As long as it's related to official things, you can't expect the word efficiency to exist.

All kinds of inexplicable wrangling, all kinds of restrictions, all kinds of laziness, all kinds of unwillingness to take responsibility...

But the two countries of Song and Liao were very big!

The Liao Kingdom was the most powerful country on this continent, controlling a vast area of ​​land.

The Song Dynasty was the richest country on this continent with a huge population.

The slow efficiency of the market has resulted in a small annual trade volume, which is far from the real needs of the people of the two countries.

So it becomes a seller's market.

Where there is a market, there is a transaction.

But private transactions are not officially allowed.

But it doesn't matter, humans are the most flexible animals.

Soon, smuggling never stopped from the time the market was first established.

Most people from the Song Dynasty smuggled goods from the Liao Kingdom, but there were also people from the Liao Kingdom who smuggled goods from the Song Dynasty.

This is a transaction driven by interests, and no one can stop it.

"What's the use of taking us? The next group of people will still smuggle. As long as the Liao Kingdom wants goods, someone will smuggle. What is this called? This is called blocking rather than sparing..."

In a room in the market, Li Zizi was drinking.

There were several officials sitting in the room, and someone outside was watching the market.

"We will fulfill our duties..."

Li Ziran pointed to the clerk outside and said, "I'm still staring at the market even though I'm drinking."

The clerk turned around, held the wine bowl in his hand and said with a smile: "What Li Gongfeng said is that villains must fulfill their duties."

"When you come to Xiongzhou, what are you going to do if you don't make money? Live in poverty?"

"That is, if we are here to suffer, then we might as well go to Bianliang to do business. How can we come here to blow the north wind?"

"North wind! Every winter is difficult. People in Bianliang don't have to worry about getting up in the morning. Washing water, breakfast... Even getting up is greeted by Toutuo... Those are really fairy days!"

"If you don't have money...why come to Xiongzhou if you don't have money?"

"..."

Zhang Ziran watched these people talking in a flurry, put his thumb and ring finger on the edge of the wine bowl, clasped the edge of the bowl with his index finger, easily picked up the wine bowl, and said lightly: "The more you talk, the better." You are guilty, what are you guilty of?"

Everyone laughed, and someone said: "Someone came to report the news earlier, saying that they saw the Mangshan Army coming out of the city last night..."

Zhang Ziran slowly took a sip of wine, then put the bowl down, touched his non-existent beard, and said lightly: "If he comes out and kills those thieves... it will be a great merit. If he can't... "

He raised his eyes and glanced at the crowd, and the right corner of his mouth curled up coldly, "That's why they came to Xiongzhou to hang out. Although Xiongzhou is good enough for these hundreds of people, it can't be laughed at by the Liao people... "

After thinking about it, everyone understood what he meant, "Yes, yes, when the time comes, make a scene and tell him to get out!"

"last night……"

Li Ziran pointed to the north with his index finger and said, "It was so stormy last night!"

Everyone suddenly realized, and then laughed.

Someone winked and said: "Then he is dead... He also said that we should surrender, but now he will surrender underground first, hahahaha!"

The laughter got louder, and Li Ziran frowned in displeasure.

Everyone stopped smiling, and seeing him drinking slowly, they praised: "Li Gongfeng has a strategy in mind. If he sits firmly in the military tent, that person will die."

"Don't flatter me!"

The corners of Li Ziran's mouth trembled a few times, obviously he greatly enjoyed the compliment.

"There... there are five or six hundred people there, all elite soldiers, and there are a hundred people over there, with intentions and unintentional intentions. He... won't survive."

Li Ziran raised his head and drank the wine in the bowl, stood up and said: "The Mangshan army is all young and strong in Xiongzhou. After the whole army was wiped out, they must be heartbroken, so... tell them that the big deal is coming, prepare for it." All right."

"yes."

Everyone was happy, and some people couldn't help but think about that kind of happiness.

"How long does it take to start?"

Rules are taboos.

For example, it is forbidden to steal public property, but some people will break this taboo.

The pleasure of taking things from the public and selling them in exchange for money...

how to say?

There will be addiction.

Some people say that it is happier than having sex between men and women.

The bigger the bigger the merrier.

Li Ziran was also addicted. The kind of smuggling business that could make a lot of money for no reason made his adrenaline soar.

His face was a little flushed, not sure if it was because of drinking or excitement.

"Get ready, start tonight."

"yes."

Everyone responded in unison.

"Go out and have a look."

Li Ziran walked out of the room with his hands behind his back, followed by a group of people with great momentum.

He inspected the market and seriously warned those businessmen not to trade privately, otherwise they would be severely punished.

The businessmen responded obediently, and someone said: "Li Gongfeng is majestic, and having him in the market makes people feel at ease."

"Yes! And he is honest and honest. He never takes advantage of a penny from me. For such a person, I think Bao Qingtian is like this."

"Bao Qingtian... Bao Qingtian is so far away. I don't know how to use Qingtian."

"It's better to have Li Congfeng. I just hope he can serve in the market for a few more years."

"..."

These comments reached the ears of Li Ziran, and some of his subordinates were flattering him. He said lightly: "This is just a certain person's job, why are you flattering me? If you don't have time, why not take good care of the market, save some trouble for the officials, and give more to the court?" Make some money!”

"The food delivery guy is here."

After everyone finished their inspection, the lunch delivery person arrived.

There are conditions here, so naturally we need three meals a day.

An ox cart pulled two large wooden barrels, with steamed buns on one side and vegetables on the other.

The steamed buns are stuffed with mutton and the vegetables are mutton chops.

It was a sumptuous meal, and the old man who delivered it looked very excited.

"What are you happy about?"

The old man is a bit silly, and everyone likes to make fun of him.

Li Ziran was the first to get the food, and was about to eat standing up, pretending to share the joys and sorrows with the officials, when he heard this and smiled.

The old man shared the dishes with them and said excitedly: "The Mangshan Army is back."

He first put three mutton chops in the big bowl with soup and water, and then put two pancakes on it, so that it was convenient whether he wanted to soak in the mutton soup or eat with it.

"then……"

He handed over the big bowl and then let go of it out of habit.

But the hand opposite didn't catch the big bowl.

Boom!

The big bowl fell to the ground, and the two dry biscuits fell to the edge and trembled a few times.

The lamb chops were very tender and elastic, and they bounced off the wheels of the cart, which was a coincidence.

The old man also thought that it was a coincidence that he didn't catch it. Someone would come and scold him soon, so he said in panic: "The villain missed..."

He didn't miss.

The clerk who was about to take the bowl looked pale and showed no reaction.

No one came to yell at him.

"Shocked?"

Li Ziran's words brought the situation back to life.

"How many people are coming back?"

yes!

It wouldn’t be bad if it was just the remnants of the defeated army returning from defeat!

Even if Shen An is immortal, he still doesn't have the energy to bother with the game.

The clerk smiled again, scolded the old man, and asked him to get himself another bowl.

The old man nodded and bowed to admit his mistake, and said: "You said that we are all back, what else... Jingguan? I don't know what it is, but the people from Xiongzhou City smiled the same as when they first got married, and they looked like they had just found out. I am so proud of the benefits of being a woman."

While he was cooking, he was chattering: "Back then, when I just got married, I felt that even the day and night were bright. When I went out to work during the day, I would think about the women at home, and when I came back at noon, I would have to make love with her. ...At that time...hey, let’s eat!”

No one has the appetite to eat.

Even Li Ziran was sullen.

"Calm down, we are on the same team, no one dares to mess with us."

Everyone nodded, Li Ziran took a bite of the lamb chops and praised: "It's delicious."

While eating, he said: "There are so many people, but Zaifu has to turn a blind eye when he comes. He is nothing!"

"Yeah! He's nothing!"

"Don't be afraid, eat and eat."

Everyone cheered each other up and then smiled again.

After both buckets of food were finished, the old man quietly picked up the two pancakes and mutton chops that had fallen on the ground. He pouted at the salivating wild dogs beside him, and then drove back proudly.

As soon as the cart left the market, a group of cavalry came in front.

The old man wiped off the dirt on the mutton chops with his hands and said proudly: "Go home and cook, have some wine, then you will be a god!"

The cavalry approached quickly. The old man looked blankly and saw that they were actually in black armor, so he shouted: "I've seen the imperial edict before."

The Mangshan Army is a black armor, this has been known for a long time.

Shen An, who was on the galloping horse, nodded slightly, and the old man said proudly: "A person who is more kind is much more kind than Li Chongfeng. Taizhao is truly kind, not just pretending. Li Chongfeng is a bit pretentious. I will live for most of my life." Come here, who haven’t seen anyone? This guy, he walks too much at night, and sooner or later he will run into ghosts... You can’t even pretend to be a gentleman!"

Li Ziran was drinking tea with a cup in his hand, chatting casually with his subordinates. When he saw Shen An appear, he subconsciously shouted: "Stand still."

People with a guilty conscience will always have a guilty conscience, and all kinds of subconscious reactions will reveal their secrets.

The businessmen were also having lunch. When they saw this, they put down their bowls and chopsticks and stared at Shen An who came over from his horse.

More than a hundred rural soldiers followed him, looking solemn.

"Li Ziran..."

Shen An came over, stared at Li Ziran and asked, "Is the official treating you badly?"

Li Ziran said subconsciously: "The kindness is as heavy as a mountain."

"Why smuggling?"

Li Ziran said blankly: "I didn't smuggle. I don't understand what the imperial edict said."

"Yeah?"

Someone brought a stool, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Shen An sat down with a golden sword, and said to the businessmen: "Today's report was meritorious, and the same crime was covered up!"

No one spoke, and the atmosphere was strange.

Shen An sneered: "Are you afraid of Li Ziran?"

Yes, these businessmen are afraid of Li Ziran.

No one dared to report it.

Li Ziran said very calmly: "Are you preparing to frame someone?"

Shen An looked at him sideways and sneered: "Are you worthy? Come on."

"Mr. Lang!"

Shen An waved, "Bring that person."

…

Thanks to the leader of the book friend "Old Giant!" for the reward, the leader who has been absent for a long time finally has a new leader, I am happy.

The third update is here, good night.
