Chapter 892
"25, 26, 27, 28,..." In the market in Jinhu City, the busy vendors kept singing these numbers, while stuffing one piece after another into the leather bag with their hands and feet. tea bricks.The surroundings of the shop are full of crowded people, bustling like a black torrent.

The market in front of me, which is not more than a hundred feet long, is the busiest place in Jinhu City, and it is a paradise in the eyes of countless grassland people.The goods yard outside the city is "buying", and the market inside the city is "selling".Buying and selling together is a transaction.

The goods and money carried by foreign caravans should be traded with people in the goods yard, and all the materials will be turned into gold and silver coins or banknotes.Then take them back home, or enter Jinhu City, and go to the shops in the commercial street in front of you, enough to buy everything you need.

There has never been a caravan from outside that can directly drive into Jinhu City, so it is done separately for the sake of safety.

From salt and sugar to tea pots, from silk cloth to exquisite porcelain lacquerware, and even spices from Nanyang, gemstones from Tianzhu, glass mirrors from Central Plains, ornately decorated swords and carriages and ingenious jewelry, everything you need Everything can be bought here.

Nazar from the vast yellow sand on the east coast of the Caspian Sea [felt blanket man] couldn't help being dazzled by the lively scene in front of him.From fur daggers to jewelry and jade, from tea and porcelain to silk and spices, the dazzling array of commodities around him made his mouth water.Nazar even found several half-length glass mirrors the size of leather shields in a department store on the corner.This is a priceless treasure.

From ancient times to the present, glass has been exported from west to east, but since glass mirrors appeared in the Central Plains, this situation has suddenly changed.Even though today's glass mirrors are far inferior to later generations, they are an epoch-making transcendence compared with Western bronze and silver mirrors.Whether it is the world of one god or the world of Tianfang, no one can resist the glass mirror.

Time is so strange.

If we wait another half century, the Western world can also produce glass mirrors, which are the first glass mirrors in human history.But who made China have the variable of Emperor Lu?

Nazar's eyes flicked across the shops on both sides of the street, his eyes were full of greed.If it is said that he chose Jinhu City before, it was only because of the unique advantages here. After the heavy snowstorm, the Qi army in Jinhu City will cut off contact with the rear towns, and the number of garrisons in Jinhu City itself is small, which can give him enough time. It's easy to retreat.Even his helpers were able to pack up their belongings calmly and brave the wind and snow to cross the vast Kipchak prairie to the Caspian Sea region.

By the time the Chinese receive the news next year and angrily launch an attack on the Eastern Kepchak Khanate-Allied Powers, all participants will already be thousands of miles away.

However, now Nazar is aware of the 'second' reason, which makes him feel that he really made the right choice.He also hopes from his heart that he can truly break through Jinhu City in the future battles.

There are not many common people and merchants here, far from being comparable to big cities, but there is no doubt that great wealth is stored here.

Although the scale of this city is not comparable to that of Yulong Jiechi, the capital and the most prosperous city of Huacizim, the neighbor of the tribe behind Nazar, it is one of the important trading cities of the Silk Road in Central Asia. City, but also the most prosperous city Nazar has ever been to.The short street in front of him gave him the feeling of being in the bustling market of Yulong Jiechi.

The finest silk porcelain, rhubarb tea, crystal white sugar and sweet wine, as well as light and warm cashmere products, this place is not inferior to the most prosperous street in Yulong Jiechi.Compared with the few humble towns on the east coast of the Caspian Sea and the oasis cities in the rolling yellow sand, this place is as peaceful and rich as heaven.

How wonderful it would be if Jinhu City could be owned by him!Such a thought involuntarily popped up in Nazar's mind.

Then there was a smile.

Capture Chinese cities?To snatch food from a tiger, no, from the mouth of an evil dragon, I must have lost my mind, how insane I must be.

Luxury goods such as tea, rhubarb, silk and porcelain, no matter how precious they are, no matter how precious they are, are not as valuable as your own life.

After walking around the commercial street, he also took this opportunity to take a closer look at Jinhu City. The city is quite small.But the defense of the Qi army is really quite strict. It is absolutely tough for five hundred regular troops to guard such a city.

However, although the reality is extremely cruel, it cannot stop Nazar from dreaming.In his dream, Nazar captured this rich Golden Lake City at a very small cost. He obtained countless wealth and glory from here, and brought back several cannons and boxes of powder, which made him a hero .

A common hero of the Seljuks and Byzantines.

The two great empires that are in decline need artillery to suppress the fate of the country.And so he was rewarded by two empires...

Just when Nazar was imagining mountains of wealth and beauties like clouds in his mind, a deep and stern question brought him back to reality.

"Stop! Who are you? Where are you from? Which tribe?" On the commercial street, a group of patrolling soldiers stopped Nazar and others, asking in Turkic.

"Dear sir, we came from the Kangler tribe in the west. We have heard about the name of Jinhu City for a long time, and we want to exchange the furs for some salt and tea." The clever Nazar bowed obediently and spoke in proficient Turkic language. He replied while taking out a silver coin and looking at the other party flatteringly.

The leading officer just looked at it suspiciously, without even looking at the silver coin, "Take off the hat!" He sniffed his nose as he said, smelling like sheep.

Nazar took out the second silver coin from his pocket with a difficult look, and stuffed it into the officer's hand.

The latter gently pushed the silver coin back, and Nazar wanted to give it again, and the officer's face immediately showed impatience.Seeing that he interrupted Nazar's polite words with a wave of his hand, he turned around and ordered: "Search these bodies for me."

The result was naturally nothing to gain, but Nazar was already frightened.

Seeing Nazar's dejected appearance when he led the men away, a soldier couldn't help but leaned forward and asked the officer: "Boss Li, do you think there is something wrong with them? Do you want to arrest these people and ask them in the security room?" ?”

"No need. I just saw these people face to face." The long winter has come, and Yingzheng has already ordered his men to be careful and pay attention to these tartars.Don't let them make trouble at this time.

The officer waved his hand appreciatively.Little did he know that his inadvertent interrogation had already frightened the ulterior motives.

Nazar didn't dare to stay longer in the commercial street.Hurry out of the city and return to the camp tent.Only then subconsciously went to look at the black muzzle on the top of the city.For a moment, he felt that the muzzle of the cannon was coming towards him, and his legs almost weakened from fright.
