Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

There was a burst of flames from the muzzle of the big black star, and then a ball of blood jumped out of Song Laosan's chest.

The knife in Song Laosan's hand fell to the ground. He looked at the big hole in his chest in disbelief, and his body fell limp, his eyes widened, and he couldn't bear to die.From the beginning to the end, he never thought that he could die so easily, and also died so aggrieved and useless.

"Brothers, his pistol has been fired, and now he has no ammunition in his pistol. Now he can't do anything, let's charge up and chop them into meat. Avenge the second master!"

A man who was blind in one eye looked at Song Laosan on the ground, the veins on his forehead were bulging, he held the knife tightly, and said angrily.

In the impression of these people, a firecracker can only be fired once.After opening, it will take a long time to refill.

Therefore, after these people saw that the firecracker in Zhao Wen's hand had been used, they all excitedly rushed towards Zhao Wen.

"kill!"

Shouting and killing!

Zhao Wen looked at the one-eyed man coldly, then raised the big black star in his hand, aimed at the one-eyed man, and pulled the trigger.

"Oh!"

The one-eyed man fell down in response, "Why is this firecracker firing continuously?" This was the only question the one-eyed man had before he died.

Unfortunately, no one explained to him why.

Those bandits were frightened by Zhao Wen's methods and stopped in place, not daring to move forward for a while.

Because no one knows if there is any ammunition in the gun, if there is any, it is courting death.

For a while, no one dared to stand up.After all, the person who took the lead is now lying on the ground, silently expressing his grievances.

Zhao Wen stood up and looked at the bandits: "You bandits, I don't understand why you are so sure that you can beat me? I dare to bring two people in, which proves that I have the ability to kill all of you. Kill!"

Zhao Wen's eyes showed murderous intent, and then he said in a deep voice, "Kill them all!"

"what?!"

People tend to burst out of great strength in despair, and these bandits are the same.When they heard that Zhao Wen was going to kill them all, each of them burst out with a strong desire to survive and rushed towards Zhao Wen.

These bandits believed that as long as they killed the person in front of them, they would survive.

Zhao Wen looked at the bandits rushing up, and raised the corner of his mouth, "Kill!"

"Bang bang bang!"

56 and a half gunshots kept ringing, and in an instant, all the bandits fell to the ground.

After a few breaths, the entire ruined temple fell into deathly silence.Those bandits were all lying on the ground, blood stained the whole ground.Several fires were doused by the blood, making chi-chi sounds.

There was a smell of blood in the air.

Zhao Wen leaned against Qiang, watching all this coldly.

"Xiaosheng, you are a bit too cruel, right?"

The middle-aged man who was sitting with Song Laosan before stood up, and he looked at Zhao Wen coldly.

"What are you? How do you talk to Shangxian?"

Zhao Daniu looked at the middle-aged man who stood up, and angrily reprimanded him.

The middle-aged man glanced at Zhao Daniu, then picked up the long knife on the ground.Hang it on your waist and walk outside.

In the wind and rain, the middle-aged man's deep and hoarse voice came.

"The knife is not sharp and the horse is too thin. I don't want to fight you yet! I remember you, young man."

Zhao Wen looked at Yu Ye, and said loudly: "I'll give you another word, the world of Huahua is charming, if you don't have the strength, don't be shy!"

"Okay, I remember!"

Zhao Daniu looked at the middle-aged man who disappeared, and looked at Zhao Wen curiously: "Why don't you keep him?"

"No need, he didn't threaten me, so what if I killed him? Let him go, after all, he didn't draw a knife on me just now!" Zhao Wen said indifferently with a piece of sawdust in his mouth. .

Zhao Wen stood up and walked to the gate of the temple. He opened his arms, looked towards the sky, and sighed, "Why am I so invincible? Sigh, how lonely it is to be invincible."

Zhao Daniu looked at Zhao Wen's back and curled his lips: "Cut, Shangxian just likes to pretend!"

Zhao Daniu heard the word "pretend to compare" from Zhao Wen, although he didn't know what it meant, but when he said it at this time, Zhao Daniu didn't feel any sense of disobedience.

Wang Qi put 56 half across his waist, and wiped it carefully with a rag.

Zhao Wen returned to the fire, took out a few pieces of meat from his pocket on the ground, and roasted them on the fire.

These meats include horse meat dried by Liu Wu from the beacon, and war horses that were killed by 40 fire and grenades when killing the Tartars.

At that time, Zhao Wen looked at the war horse that was blown to pieces on the ground, but he didn't think of this.But Zhao Daniu said that although these horses were blown to pieces, the horse meat was indeed good and should not be wasted.So, Zhao Daniu picked up some.

Zhao Wen roughly washed the horse meat picked up by Zhao Daniu with the water in the water bag, then wrapped it in salt, and roasted it on the fire.

Only by roasting the horse meat into jerky can it be stored for a longer period of time, otherwise, it will soon become moldy.

The flames were burning under the horse meat, making a crackling sound. Zhao Daniu was drooling as he looked at the horse meat on the fire.

After more than an hour, Zhao Wen took the horse meat off the fire, tore off a piece, and put it in his mouth.

To be honest, horse meat is not delicious, especially the meat of war horses, it is even more unpalatable.

First of all, the horse meat was very woody, without any oil and water, and tasted like chewing wax. After Zhao Wen took two bites, he stuffed the horse meat to Zhao Daniu and Wang Qi.

Zhao Daniu didn't have such a savage mouth as Zhao Wen's. When he took the horse meat from Zhao Wen's hand, he didn't care about burning his mouth and began to bite directly.

…………

After one night, the rain gradually lightened, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sky became clear again.

Zhao Wen stood up from the ground, stretched his waist, picked up the clothes from the shelf next to the fire, and put them on.

After a night of baking, the clothes are almost dry.

Zhao Wen looked at the sun outside and said, "It's getting late now, let's hurry up."

Chapter 19 Shanxi Merchants

During the Jiajing period, I Da once led troops to attack Daming because of the closure of the trading field on the northern border by Ming.At that time, the guards in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty fled seriously, and there was a serious shortage of frontier troops.The whole society is in a terrible state. Officers are good fighters on empty pay and blood, but they are a group of cowards when they fight.

At that time, Qiu Luan, the commander-in-chief of Datong, fled away after seeing the cavalry of Anda, so that Anda drove straight in and directly hit the capital.

The Ming Dynasty didn't have any other skills, but it had a bit of toughness.

The original purpose of Anda was to let the Ming Dynasty open a few more horse markets, but the Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty refused to agree.

In the end, it led to the most famous Gengxu change in history.

And Zhangjiakou's discussion field was born under such circumstances.

The birth of the Zhangjiakou Discussion Market has led to frequent exchanges between the grassland and the Central Plains.

The grassland cannot produce iron pots, grain and salt.And the Central Plains couldn't raise horses on the prairie, so the two sides took what they needed and traded on the market.

At the beginning, the transaction volume of the Zhangjiakou market was not large.However, after the rise of Shanxi merchants in the middle and late Wanli period, the scale of the Zhangjiakou market also grew.

Zhao Wen and others drove the carriage, staggeringly, and finally arrived at Zhangjiakou at noon on the fifth day.

Zhangjiakou is not too far from Xuanfu Town, less than a hundred miles away.

It can be said that it is under the nose of Xuanfu Town.It is precisely because of this that the Ming Dynasty was able to open the forum here with peace of mind.After all, with the army at his side, he was not afraid of the Tartars making trouble.

Looking at the not-so-high city wall of Zhangjiakou, Zhao Wen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It can be considered that I have come to this family's entrance. I almost died of exhaustion on this journey."

Zhao Daniu looked at Zhao Wen who was sitting on the cart, and said, "Are you still tired? Sitting in the cart every day, how tired can you be?"

Zhao Wen jumped off the cart, walked to the front of the cart, looked at the city wall of Zhangjiakou, and shouted: "Go, enter the city!"

The cart creaked and headed towards the city gate.

Before entering the city gate, several soldiers in tattered mandarin duck battle jackets guarding the city gate surrounded him.

"What are you doing? That caravan? Why haven't I seen you?" A lean man in his 40s stared at Zhao Wen and asked.

Zhao Wen was taken aback, and said, "We are in business, not from that caravan. We came here by ourselves. What? No way?"

The soldier looked at Zhao Wen, and then at the cart behind Zhao Wen.

There is a whole large cart of goods, and the flags of those large caravans have not been planted on the cart.Seeing this, the lean man immediately understood that this should be a chick, and he didn't know the twists and turns in it, otherwise it would be impossible to come to Zhangjiakou like this.

The man smiled slightly, showing his big yellow teeth, "Hey, you are not from those big caravans, so is this your first time in Zhangjiakou?"

"Yeah, what's the matter? Is there a problem?"

"The problem here is serious. Don't you know that you have to pay taxes when you enter Zhangjiakou? You don't know the city gate tax, do you? Seeing that you have such a large truckload of goods, I won't ask you more Yes, just five liang of silver." Da Huangya stretched out five fingers and waved them in front of Zhao Wen's eyes.

These soldiers guarding the city are soldiers in Zhangjiakou Fort, and they are usually responsible for guarding the gate of the city.Those big caravans have strong connections and great influence, and they give those officers a lot of money every year, so when they usually go in and out of Zhangjiakou, they don't have to look directly at them.Sometimes, the stewards of those big caravans did big business, and when they were happy, they would reward them with some money.

But rewards are not always there, that is, once or twice occasionally.

More often than not, there is nothing.

These soldiers jingled poorly, and all the guys on their bodies didn't even add up to a few cents of money. Usually they were hungry and full, and they often didn't have enough to eat.

Because of this, they often charge the city gate tax for small caravans entering and leaving Zhangjiakou or single-handed caravans like Zhao Wen.

It is said to be a city gate tax, but it is actually a blatant demand for money.And the money went directly into his own pocket.

Those grown-ups also turned a blind eye to this, after all, they have already been fed up by those caravans, and they should let their subordinates drink a mouthful of soup, otherwise, who would care about things.

"What? What? Five taels of silver? Are you crazy about money?" Before Zhao Wen could speak, Zhao Daniu quit.

This is five taels of silver, how much rice do I need to buy?How much salt do you buy?

When Da Huangya heard Zhao Daniu's words, his face turned cold instantly, "This is the rule. If you want to go in, you have to pay the tax obediently. Otherwise, don't go in. There are many businesses in this house. A cartload of goods can be sold for a lot of money. To you, this five taels of silver is nothing more than a drop in the bucket, why are you so stingy?"

As soon as Zhao Wen heard this, he felt that what Da Huangya said was somewhat reasonable, so he said, "Daniu, you give him the silver first, as long as we go in, we will sell all these goods. Then we will send !"

Da Huangya narrowed his eyes when he saw Zhao Wen's bold appearance.

Zhao Daniu had a bitter face, and said in a low voice: "We don't have money, how poor are we? Pay back five taels of silver, I can't even get one tael of silver."

Wang Qi also nodded, expressing that he had no money on him.

When Da Huangya heard that he had no money, his expression changed instantly, and he said angrily: "You bastards, if you have no money, get out. You don't even have capital, what kind of business are you doing? If you want to learn from those big caravans, I advise you Just save yourselves."

Zhao Wen looked at the big yellow teeth, and his face turned cold instantly.

"What did you say?" Zhao Wen put his hands on his waist, looked at Big Yellow Fang coldly, murderous intent in his eyes.

Da Huangya looked at Zhao Wen's face full of evil spirits, and involuntarily took two steps back.

"Why, you still want to kill people?" Da Huangya pointed to Zhao Wen's hand touching his waist, and said with a vigilant expression.

"Kill you? You are just a pig and dog. Killing you is worse than killing a pig. I advise you to let us in, otherwise, be careful of your life." Zhao Wen threatened coldly.

That's what Zhao Wen said, scaring the big yellow tooth in front of him.

After all, this is the territory of Zhangjiakou, and I am not familiar with the place where I was born. If I really killed someone here, then I will never even think about stepping into Zhangjiakou again.

The entire Xuanfu Town is just such a discussion area. If he doesn't come here, where should the remaining truckloads of goods be sold?Could it be that the goods really rotted?

Da Huangya's face was a little panicked, but he thought again, this is Zhangjiakou, only a few tens of miles away from the important town of Xuanfu, plus there are countless soldiers in this family's mouth, what is he afraid of?

Thinking of this, Da Huangya straightened his chest, and said coldly to Zhao Wen: "If you don't pay the city gate tax today, don't even think about passing here."

Zhao Wen looked at the big yellow teeth that couldn't get in, and didn't know what to do for a while.Is it possible to really go back?

For a moment, the two of them froze there.

"What's going on? Why is the city gate still blocked?" Just then, a deep male voice sounded.

A middle-aged man wearing a melon cap and long robe walked over.

"Oh, it turns out that the God of Wealth is here, and I kowtow to you."

When Da Huangya saw this person, he immediately put on an extremely flattering expression, bowed down and was about to kowtow.

The man waved his hand and said, "What's going on? Why is the city gate blocked?"

Da Huangya took advantage of the opportunity to stand up and said, "Uncle Fan, you have mud legs. I wanted to do business like you, but I couldn't get the money for the city gate tax. I didn't want to leave, so I stopped here Already!"

Uncle Fan glanced at Zhao Wen and felt that this man was very handsome.Although he was wearing coarse clothes, the temperament on his body was not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Such a person shouldn't be unable to come up with this little money, right?

Uncle Fan looked at Zhao Wen and said, "Little brother, what kind of trouble did you encounter?"
