Chapter 355 Are you new here?

 Before the Hedong convoy arrived at the suspension bridge in Shaanxi and Jin, the Jun Hou, who was guarding the suspension bridge, rolled his eyelids, looked up and down at the convoy, and glanced slightly down the corner of his mouth, waved his hand, and asked several soldiers to come forward to check.

The team leader of Hedong quickly came forward and smiled and delivered the already prepared wallet to the leading veteran.

"What's the car?" The veteran pulled his money bag up and down, then threw it to the soldiers beside him to point the number and asked casually.

The caravan leader laughed and said, "It's just ordinary food and grass, no banned things."

"Oh? Food and grass? Are you new?" The veteran laughed twice, and without waiting for the team leader to answer, he casually asked the soldiers to check a carriage. Seeing that there was no problem and didn't talk much nonsense, he went back to report to the army, and then let the convoy pass.

The leader was grateful and was wondering, and usually these soldiers had to find some problems even if they had no problems. Even if they couldn't find the problem, they would circle around the carriage and horses, but they wouldn't let go. They would definitely have to make some more blood to get through. Why is it so strange today? You don't even have to take out the second prepared wallet and let go? And what's the new one just now? What does it mean?

He was very strange in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything more. The caravan quickly set off and passed the long Shaanxi-jin floating bridge.

Not far from Shaanxi and Tianjin, there is a trumpet-shaped valley. On the relatively wide side near Shaanxi and Tianjin, an oversized temporary trading market is built with wooden fences, which is extremely simple but very lively.

The trees used to build the shed were not completely cleaned up, and a frame was roughly built, with empty sides, and then a little paved on the ceiling was made with thatch. It was simply useless except that it could barely cover some of the wind, rain and sun above the head.

But even under such dilapidated conditions, many businessmen wearing plain silk seemed to be staring at rotten flies, buzzing under the straw hut, running from one straw hut to another, waving documents in their hands, as if they had obtained tens of millions of guan of money, with a cautious look on their faces, and the excitement of the leader of the Hedong caravan actually trembled slightly...

This is what a big business looks like!

The running figures, the trucks of goods piled under the straw shed, seemed to be filled with the charming fragrance of copper coins on this land...

The leader took a deep breath, as if he was trying to inhale the smell of copper coins in the air into his lungs and abdomen. Then he opened his eyes wide and identified that the largest straw hut was a trading food and grass. He couldn't help but feel a little excited flush on his face. After a hurried explanation, he ran under the straw hut with big strides.

Before the leader could reach the straw shed where the food was traded, he was stopped by the soldiers who were maintaining order on the periphery. Without saying anything, he pointed to a wooden sign standing beside him.

I saw four big words written on the wooden sign, "Only eat but not buy food"!

ah!

The leader looked confused and there was no food here!

Why not collect grain?

How could it be that no food is collected?

So where should I sell the food and grass I brought?

The soldier seemed to know what the leader was thinking, and pointed his hand. Not far from the official road outside the fence of this market, there was a lonely small shed. There was a table under the shed. A middle-aged man was waving at it. There was a small wooden sign next to the table. The wooden sign was so small that it would not be noticed if you didn't pay attention. There was only one word written on the wooden sign - "Bai".

Looking at the extremely lively scene in the big market, then turned around and looked at the lonely and slightly desolate little shed. The leader suddenly had a bad premonition, as if the next desolate one would be himself.

"Are you new?" asked the middle-aged man in the small shed with a smile.

"Why do you say this again? Also, why are there no food or grass collected in it?"

"Because there is only here to collect food." The middle-aged man smiled, his eyes like a big bad wolf who saw a cute little white rabbit, full of joy.

The leader bowed and said, "Dare you ask what the price of grain is?" Although he was a little confused, as long as someone collected it, it would be fine. Anyway, it would be the same for anyone to sell the grain and grass to anyone?

The middle-aged man took out a wooden sign from the table, pointed to the price marked on it, and asked the team leader to see it himself.

"Each large stone and millet is 650 yuan! Millet is only 500 yuan! Millet is 390 yuan! Millet is 420 yuan! You play with me!" The leader became more and more angry. The price was just a little more than the current market price in Hedong. What was more was about the freight of the carriage and horses...

The price of Sili grain is not less than a thousand coins. I worked hard to collect grain and grass from Hedong. Is it just to earn a taxi?

The leader was furious and left. If he didn't buy food here, wasn't Sili going to collect food everywhere?

The middle-aged man in the straw hut was still smiling and silent. He watched the leader leave in anger, and did not dissuade him.

From Shaanxi and Tianjin to Shanxian, you have to pass through a trumpet-shaped valley formed by a natural mountain. All caravans need to pass through this valley to reach Sili. There are also soldiers in maintenance order. Therefore, although the convoys of each company are backlogged at the intersection, they are not too messy, but pass one after another in order.

The team leader also took the convoy to wait in line.

"Are you new?" Suddenly an old man in a caravan next to him said.

"Ah? Why do you say this?" The leader was very surprised. Did I write the new words on my face? Why do I ask this question?

The old man smiled, then pointed to a small triangular flag that was flying in front of his convoy, and said, "You can't get out without this flag..."

The leader looked around and found that there was basically a small flag on the merchant fleet lined up around, and there were words such as "Yi Hai", "Ding Chou" and so on the small flag, such as numbers.

"Ask your father, how to obtain this flag?"

The old man pointed to the market behind and said, "At this time, there are documents for buying and selling, and then use the documents to collect them at the straw hut in Yingkou. Only when you pass the valley can you pass."

"Brother-in-law, how dare you ask what you bought?"

"Hehe, it's naturally food and grass." Now in Sili, there is no more popular product than food and grass.

The leader's eyes rolled. Since he had no flag and could not go out, is that possible?

"It's also food and supplies when getting off the car. If the father-in-law is interested..."

Before the leader finished speaking, the old man said angrily: "If the things you pass are inconsistent with the documents, the light will not be there, and the heavy will be killed! I kindly remind you, why are you coming to harm me? Humph!" After that, he shook his sleeves and walked away.

The leader stayed for a while, then turned his head to look at the valley entrance of the trumpet in front of him, and felt like a rabbit falling into a trap...

Let me give you an interesting detail:

Chapter 23 of the Romance of Legend, Boss Cao praised his civil servants and generals in front of Ni Heng, saying, "Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Li Dian and others are all enemies of ten thousand people..." Balabala and others

Then Ni Heng used his ultimate move to mock him...

This is not the point, the point is that Zhang Liao surrendered to Cao Cao in the 21st time of the Baimen Tower. Why did Boss Cao first talk about Zhang Liao? Could it be that in the mind of Boss Cao, the new Zhang Wenyuan is ranked before his brother Xu Chu and his confidant Li Dian?

The reason is that at this time, "Zhang Liao was only there"...
