Chapter 0080 People are like dogs

Then Tao. Zhuo Fan and the three immediately became jade merchants and found an inn outside this gate to settle down and prepare to find out.

In ancient China, although merchants were at the end of the ninth-rate, they were still pervasive, which fully proved the existence of profitable merchants. Originally, it was Xiongguan, a military town, but between the south of Xiongguan and the loyal Yang Family Temple, a large-scale market town was formed within a short 500 steps. I'm afraid that if it weren't for taking care of the military face of the military pass, this continuous shop could be connected to the wall.

Unlike the capital, the inns here are comprehensively operated, that is, accommodation, restaurants and even grocery stores are operated together, which is also a border feature.

Sure enough, as the hawker said, those who stay at the top of the store for days are all jade merchants, including novices like Zhuo extraordinary, and veterans who have been in the jade business of Yanmen for several years. As a novice, Zhuo Fan naturally made friends with several veterans and humbly asked for advice. In his memory of his previous life and this life, this jade business is not easy to do. I remember that when he watched the treasure hunt program in his previous life, many jade players collected hundreds of thousands of jade artifacts that were not real and lost their blood, which is still fresh in his memory.

I didn't think that my doubts or concerns actually exist in this Yanmen Pass. Those veterans said that the jade business in Yanmen Pass are different from other places. The important thing is not to identify the eyesight, but whether they can get the goods and how much they can get. This surprised Zhuo Fan and wanted to ask what was going on, those old and cunning guys didn't want to say more.

Zhuo Bofan actually saw the expression of those veterans when they were asked this question, and he knew that he was afraid that he could not get a real answer from them. Everything could only wait until the jade tribute arrived. According to his own estimation, since so many people are waiting here, this business will not be concluded in a blink of an eye. Let's talk about it then. Fortunately, according to the usual practice of previous years, this jade tribute will take about half a month to arrive.

The boring Zhuo Fan simply wanders around, looks at the appearance of the armaments at the border gate, and looks at what goods are transported by the caravans. It is also an inspection of people's livelihood and experience the real bottom life of the world.

The overall strength of those border guards is actually quite strong. After several days of observation, there should be more than 1,000 people, and the armaments are also complete. From time to time, you can see the soldiers of the firearm battalion coming in and out of their shoulders. The cannons at the head of the city are also faintly visible. However, Zhuo Bofan can imagine that those cannons, I'm afraid It is not as good as the firearms equipped in Haishanguan, which is the front line of the war.

In the past few days of observation, combined with what he has seen along the way, Zhuo Fan also found a strange phenomenon. The disaster victims that can still be seen everywhere in Hebei seem to be much less as soon as they enter Shanxi. When they arrive north of Taiyuan Datong, they are rarely seen. Normally, Shanxi, which seems to have a lot of stalls and restaurants all the way, should not lack food. It is the best place for the exiles. Why can't they see it?

This morning, the three extraordinary people were bored and lazily basking in the sun.

"Young master, there is still half a month before the arrival of the jade tribute. Have we been spending time here?" Zhuo Er is fine, but Zhou Tong can't stand loneliness. Maybe the people who practice martial arts can't be idle.

Zhuo Bufan picked his teeth. The mutton buns closed here still have a unique flavor. It's not a problem where to eat and drink with silver, but you will soon get tired of eating all day long. If you eat it for a few more days, I'm afraid it will smell like sheep. Hearing Zhou Tong's words, Zhuo Fan said lazily, "What else can you do without waiting? When the jade tribute comes, grab hundreds of good jade and get them back to the capital, you will definitely make a lot of money."

"Well, young master, you don't really want to do the jade business!" Zhou Tong opened his eyes wide and asked, thousands of miles away, the left prime minister ran to this Yanmen to pour down the jade, which was a little exaggerated. Moreover, this Yanmenguan is not bad at first. It is not a good place to stay for a long time. There is a lot of sand and mutton, but there is wine and meat, but it can't compare with the exquisiteness of the capital, even if it can't be compared with the county government of Dai County.

"That's natural. I'm becoming more and more interested in this jade now." With that, Zhuo Bufan was really happy to show off the three-legged cat jade identification knowledge he had just learned in the past few days. Zhou Tong's ears were almost cocoons, and Zhuo Er smiled and watched Zhou Tong being teased by the young master.

At this time, suddenly a group of people came from afar, ragged, large and small. They were actually rare disaster victims in Shanxi. I don't know how they came here.

The group of people didn't know where they came from, but obviously did not pass through Daixian and other places, because they saw the sudden prosperity in front of the Yanmen Gate, and immediately cheered happily and dragged their families straight to the gate.

There are many small stalls in front of the closing, with piles of hard buns and dried meat, as well as water and spirits in skin bags. These are all to supplement the supply for those caravans. I don't know how many days the emigrants haven't eaten. How can they control the food placed on the wooden table? They came forward one after another, and some rationally pleaded for a little bit. Some of them simply grabbed it. Suddenly, they scolded and shouted angrily in front of the closing of the Yanmen, and jumped in a mess. Make a ball.

The soldiers had been watching for a long time. Soon, a group of soldiers gathered and rushed out. Regardless of the bursts of punches and kicks, they lay down all these hungry hungry people, even the old man and children. Suddenly, they lay down on the ground and hugged their heads and cried.

Those soldiers were obviously ready. They took out some ropes, put all the exiles on their necks, put them on their necks, and dragged them out like pigs and dogs. Those exiles can only use their hands and feet to avoid being dragged down. Once dragged down, their necks are immediately tightened. Not only can they not breathe, but the wiped tender skin immediately gushes out blood, which is clearly visible.

All this fell in the eyes of Zhuo Fan and the three people. Zhou Tong said angrily, "Even if they are exiles, they can't treat them like pigs and dogs." With that, with great sympathy, they have to intervene. As a special nursing home of the Left Minister's Mansion, they naturally have this momentum.

Zhuo Fan grabbed Zhou Tong and told him to ask how to deal with it, but he was not allowed to expose his identity. There is no extraordinary sympathy, but he doesn't want to expose the identity of the imperial envoy. In addition, how to save these people by himself? In addition, these soldiers will not cut down these exiles. Even if they are used as labor, they can have a meal.

At present, Zhou Tong got instructions and jumped out and shouted, "Sh on, gentlemen, they are all people of Dahua. How can they treat people like dogs?"
