Chapter five hundred and ninety-two [The Biography of the Ranger]
Susa in spring is beautiful, with the aroma of wine floating everywhere; walking on the cobbled streets and looking at various exotic buildings, Ying Si immediately relaxed.
In his opinion, compared with the four square and four vertical buildings in Qin, Persian buildings are more gorgeous and changeable and will not be depressed. The beautiful female slaves who mingle in the restaurants made him even more lit up. Caoer Xiaozigu’s original ~ smelly sweat towels are not available. How could a young master who loves cleanness leave behind the sweat towels in summer without washing? These exotic beauties seem to be good, and the veil used to half-coated surface is fragrant.
Bai Dong and his party did not enter Susa City, but stopped at the Bai Family Money House outside Susa. Now the Bai Family Money House has spread all over the major Persian provinces, except for the markets in Africa, and it can be said that they are blooming everywhere. Bitter wine has specially set rules. Bai Family Trading Club enters the city, but most of the money houses are in the suburbs. This is for convenience. After all, the money houses have to stockpile a large amount of silver and copper and iron, and the money treasury of each money house is as tight as a fortress. The Bai Family and the old Qin soldiers who are responsible for security work need a relatively closed environment. If it is built in the city, there will be many inconveniences.
When he walked into the Baijia Money House as strict as a fortress, Ying Si was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him. In addition to the street facing the street, the free and open silver house money cabinet, the money trough behind him was completely enclosed by a high wall. There was a daughter's wall, a guard holding a spear and a bow, and even a huge rolling wood and thunderstone that could only be seen at the head of the city of Liyang. The blue waves of the river guarding the river are two meters wide. The suspension bridge in front of the village gate is usually hung high. When there is a silver cart, it will be put down after the strict inspection of the guarding the village guarding the village.
Most of the people in the village guards were the Bai family and Qin **shang, but the outermost part was some Persians with deep noses, and even dark skin. Ying Si asked Bai Dong curiously and found out that these black-skinned people were from a distant place called Africa. They were originally lowly slaves like those Persians. The Bai family gave them enough food and dignity to be human. They are now as loyal as the Bai family. If anyone dares to be unfavorable to the Bai family, they will rush forward without hesitation!
There were thirty silver cars brought by Bai Dong, and they were soon counted and sent to the warehouse by the money shop. Ying Si didn't want to follow the Taifu to go to the money shop so quickly. He was more interested in the silver cabinets facing the street. He watched many Persians come in and out of here. Some took a light paper note and exchanged large bags of silver coins and copper coins, and some brought large bags of coins in the end. In the end, he just took a piece of paper note and left. Sometimes the gorgeously dressed Persians brought several big carts of copper and iron coins, but exchanged half a cart of silver coins, which was common in later generations, such a magical thing in his eyes.
Cao'er's little master had already jumped out of the car and walked into the silver cabinet facing the street under the protection of several Bai family guards. From a distance, the little master also held a thin book in his hand, as if he was remembering something, and sometimes he had to frown and think for a while, looking very serious.
"I want to go to the silver cabinet to see if I do? Then go, I will wait for you in the village. This is also the first question for the teacher to test you. I will give you three quarters of an hour to find the real purpose of Baijia Money House in Persia. Don't mention the deposit, withdrawal and exchange. I believe Du Sikong has reminded you a lot, you must discover the real secret!"
Bai Dong smiled and patted Ying Si's head, and then walked into the money house on his own. This money house built on Susa is not as simple as it seems. It is a secret stronghold built by the Bai family in Persia. This time he came to Persia, he did not go to Abu Hassan, nor did he meet the fairy Mogina. He wanted to maintain enough neutrality between the two major "Chinese puppet army groups". Now Lao Qin does not have enough energy to completely control Persia, and checks and balances are the most effective way.
This money house is very different from the one elsewhere. After Bai Dong walked in, someone blew the horn, and hundreds of voices shouted loudly: "Welcome to the head of the family!"
Li Di raised his eyebrows and looked at the guardian who appeared on the wall of the village in surprise.
He has not been to the Bai family's money house in Liyang, so he naturally knew that most of the people guarding the money house in the village were brave and powerful people, and even the elite guards sent by the Old Qin State Mansion. However, they were just common brave men, but unlike the guardians in this money house, there were many heroes and knights. Among these guardians, only a small number of the soldiers were Lao Qin's soldiers, but most of them were short swords on their waists. The ranger with murderous aura was also the most terrifying first-class dead soldiers, and they were also very different from the temperament of the people in the army.
"Is this the Bai Family Money House or the Mo Family's fundamental importance? How could there be so many dead soldiers?"
Li Di's expression changed. He knew that this was Bai Dong's territory, but he still became alert.
"Haha, Brother Li has good eyesight. Among these guards are the Bai family dead soldiers trained by Sang Wazi, and there are also masters recruited from Rangers. They are all loyal people who can die for the Bai family."
"That's strange. The dead soldiers trained by Sang Wazi were originally from the Bai family. It's not surprising that they were able to die for the Bai family, but these rangers may not be all righteous men like Zhizhu. Can you trust them?"
"Assassin is also a scholar. His request is nothing more than a fortune. He only wants to kill his wife and children for one's sake. But the title of assassinating Wang Liao is greater than that of the Bai family opening Western trade? In addition, I also asked bitter wine to set rules. All of these dead soldiers are treated with high salaries. If they sacrifice their lives for my Bai family, their families and children can also get shares of the Bai family. If there is no family, the Bai family should establish a "Rank of the Rangers" for him, print them into a book, and spread it to future generations!"
"You want to publish a biography of the Rangers?"
Li Di was fascinated by his own eyes: "Can Ran'er also be listed in history?"
"Why can't it be? There are so many generous and tragic people among the gossip. If they are not qualified to publish a biography, those who are more qualified to publish a biography. Sooner or later, I will let the gossip spread to the world, and heroes like Brother Li should be listed!"
"Really! If so, Li Di's contemporary world hero thanked Bai Zi!"
What is the emperor, relatives and nobles of the Qin Dynasty? Li Di is first of all a wanderer. Even in the old Qin court, he never forgot that he was a wanderer. No matter how the Qin political arena changes, he is always alone. Even Bo Fan may not be able to do this.
"Actually, Brother Li doesn't need to thank me. I won't suffer any loss if I do this."
Bai Dong looked at the Ranger standing on the wall of the village and chuckled, "The reward I received for this can definitely exceed the calculations of many people, but these people don't know it."
***
The Baijia Money House contains the most beautiful female slaves, the most mellow wine and the tenderest veal. Looking at the slender female slaves flying like butterflies in front of a flat-bottomed iron pot, some of the meat cut into pieces was frying so that the tempting aroma kept coming out, Ying Si widened his eyes again.
This is beef! Even if he is the eldest son of Qin, he doesn't have the courage to eat beef in Qin. Wei Yang knew that it was not as simple as spanking. The person who killed the cattle must pay his life! I have eaten the beef that is astringent and fishy, and it tastes worse than the pigs that have been "flooded" in the Taifu's family.
Li Di and Bai Dong had already started eating, and Cao'er's little sister was also happily tasting this food. Ying Si waited for a long time, but found that the female slaves responsible for the meat ignored him at all. She licked her lips unconsciously and smiled and said, "Tao Fu, the oil here is so good, and there is no thick smoke coming out. My mother once cooked herself to make fried lamb tails for me, and the oil was so big that it smelled so much. Si'er felt sorry for her mother the most. Since that time, she has not allowed her to cook for me."
"Yes." Bai Dong looked at him and didn't say anything.
"Uh, Taifu, what kind of oil is this? The beef made with it must be very delicious?" Ying Si asked a question like a curious baby. Generally, in this case the other party would let him taste it himself.
"This is called olive oil, which was sent by General Pang Juan. The oil is thin and not thick, and it does not smog at the least. It is the perfect match for frying steak."
