There are actually many people squatting here in Youzhou. Needless to say, Tian Yu is a man who has been guarding the border here for more than ten years. Liang Mao is an extremely outstanding governor, plus Gongsun Xu who inherited Gongsun Zan's legacy.
, most of the barbarians who dare to run wild in Youzhou don’t want to live anymore.
"It's not that I can't be beaten, it's that I can't be caught." Wuhuan, the leader of the family, said unhappily.
"Isn't there a white horse Yi Cong?" Chen Xi asked curiously.
Tian Yu said he would not help, but in fact when Gongsun Xu secretly recruited Baima Yicong, Tian Yu secretly gave Gongsun Xu a lot of support. To a certain extent, Gongsun Zan could not move the soldiers guarding the border in northern Xinjiang until his death.
Let Tian Yu remember it for a lifetime.
In the past, when Gongsun Xu was with Liu Bei, Tian Yu couldn't help him even if he wanted to. The most he could do was bring some gifts to Gongsun Xu when he went there, and then go visit Gongsun's orphans and widowers. As for other things, Liu Bei handled them extremely well.
Appropriate and not treated lightly in the slightest.
In fact, if Liu Bei wanted to save Gongsun Zan, he could have saved him, but Gongsun Zan chose to die. This guy was also famously arrogant by nature, so he just wanted to die. There was nothing to be afraid of.
It's actually very strange to say that now in Yanzhao, except for Liu Bei, the three rulers who have gone through it all have their own popularity, and then the three of them look down on each other. Gongsun Zan felt that Liu Yu was weak, and Liu Yu felt that Gongsun Zan
Brutal and Yuan Shao felt that both of them had brain problems, but all three of them left deep traces in this place.
The Wuhuan man's mouth twitched twice when he heard this, but he just didn't say anything. Even though Gongsun Zan has been dead for so many years, and even the Wuhuan members of Su Pu's lineage have moved in to become herdsmen, the mention of Baima Yicong is still very serious.
psychological shadow.
"Change the subject, change the topic, and I'm not afraid of the nobles' jokes. I'm really afraid of that stuff, but having said that, who is not afraid of these people in the north?" The man from Wuhuan said with some regret, "I will be the only one in my life.
I saw him once after I moved in. As for before, everyone I saw was dead."
Chen Xi picked up the wine bowl and touched it, but did not talk about the topic. In other words, Bai Ma Yicong could actually solve the problem, but he just didn't take action. In this case, there may be other reasons.
"Hey, let's talk about those dead kids in Tiefu. They are all the fault of those mentally retarded people. If they keep jumping up and down, the Bai Ma Yi Cong will be dispatched. Then there will be blood when the sword is drawn. We really can't bear the Ba Ma Yi Cong's dispatch.
, so we villages in the north beg the governor to let us solve it ourselves." The man in Wuhuan also looked helpless.
They were all afraid of being killed by Baima Yicong. Gongsun Zan was killing them here. He caught a gathering place and leveled it directly. You can't even run away. In the words of the Wuhuan people, when you see the white waves appear,
Don't even think about running away, just pray, remember, and then you'll be dead.
So when Tian Yu heard that there was another riot in the north, Tian Yu planned to ask Baima Yicong to kill them. They didn't know what the Han people's village was like, but they felt sad. When Baima Yicong passed by after killing them, he killed them too.
Come on, don't leave. Leave this matter to us. Don't let Baima Yicong take action, so it's like this now.
"Oh, that's it." Chen Xi nodded and understood Tian Yu's thinking. The people living on the border fortress are basically the Hu people who have moved in. If they want to pass, they must first capture them. Since these people are willing
If you solve it yourself, then do it. If they collude, it doesn't matter, just kill them together. I really think the current combat effectiveness of the Han Dynasty is a joke.
"Yes." The leader of the Wuhuan family poured wine for Chen Xi, "It was actually not easy to fight at first, but later I found out that catching one alive can sell for 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. Many people came to catch them. Each village has armor and weapons. Let's go to the north.
There are also ranches, and there are cow riders and horse riders. Catching one is more profitable than working for a year, so many people from the south have come over."
"..." Chen Xi had nothing to say. Isn't this just the private slave trade? No wonder I heard recently that there are many young and strong barbarians in the exchange in Yecheng. That's how they came here.
"As a result, there are almost no catches now." Wuhuan people said with some pity, "My house was built by me. It is really a good business. I heard that they have gone to the ice field now. Oh, what a pity.
There is no place to catch him even if he wants to."
"..." Chen Xi didn't know where to complain. Shouldn't you be considerate of each other? In other words, they are all nonsense.
Maybe he was also thinking about what Chen Xi was thinking in his mind. After all, many Han people who came here to rest have asked this question.
"I know you are curious about how I felt about catching them. What do you think? I have no other thoughts except being happy about catching them. I am not a bastard. I have a household registration. I was very happy when I caught them. Look at it.
It costs around 30,000 yuan to catch someone, and I bought a gangster with no money to hit the grassland in the past..." Maybe he was too excited, and revealed some dirty information, which made the boss feel a little embarrassed.
"Eat the food, eat the food." He coughed twice and tried to whitewash himself, saying that he was a good and law-abiding person, and then poured wine for Chen Xi.
"Brother, did you go south back then?" Chen Xi looked curious. He didn't really want to pursue what happened back then. In Fenggao City, Taishan, there were not many clean thieves in the city. Now everyone is law-abiding.
Good people, the world was just like that more than ten years ago, let's forget about it.
"Uh, you don't mind this?" The Wuhuan people may have some taboos, but they still asked tentatively.
"With the way the world is, do you think you can live a good life if you work hard now?" Chen Xi said casually, "If you pursue the past things, can you really kill them, unless the person involved comes to settle the matter? In my words, forget it.
, it is not easy to live through that era. After that time, you can just live a good life as a Han Dynasty commoner."
"Yeah, that's the way the world is." The Wuhuan man sighed, and then said angrily, "Fuck him, if he couldn't survive, who the hell would be willing to go south and fuck you, to be polite.
, I won’t win eight out of ten times. If you can survive like this raising cattle and sheep in the north, you have to be very careful. I am the only one of the six brothers in my family who has survived until now.”
Chen Xi was silent for a moment. Yes, in the situation of the Han Dynasty, even when it was at its weakest, basically any miscellaneous prince could pin the barbarians into the ground and beat them. Even if the barbarians dared to go south, it would be like this.
There is no way out.
"Life is pretty good now." Chen Xi looked around and said with a smile.
"Not counting the few guys I caught and sold, I can still eat and clothe myself every year, and I have some extra money. It's much better than when I was on the grassland. In that place, you don't even have to eat salt, and the iron pot
None, just use stones to cook." The man in charge said angrily, banging on the table.
"In the end, those fools from Tiefu actually sent people to our side to recruit us, saying that they were going to establish some kind of barbarian country. I almost died laughing. They didn't even have enough food to eat, and they didn't even have a pot. They planned to let us
To make a contribution and say it was solidarity, I quickly got them drunk with wine, tied them up, and made a fortune." The man was very happy talking about what happened before.
"It's pretty good." Chen Xi smiled and said, "Beef and mutton feel cheap here."
"It's okay. We used to exchange a sheep for a pack of salt, and it was still a dark brown lump. Now it's much better." It's obvious that the two parties have completely different perceptions of prices, but they are happy.
Enough.
"If I buy some cattle and sheep, what's the price?" Chen Xi asked curiously.
"It depends on whether you are bartering or using money." When the Wuhuan people who were drinking heard this, they immediately put down their wine bowls and said very philistinely. They were no longer laughing and cursing before. It was obvious that they were
Memories are not as important as eating in the future.
"Money." Chen Xi didn't bring many items, but he did have a lot of money. If it wasn't enough, he could print some more in small amounts. It wouldn't have any impact at all, and he could just make up for it then.
"The strong ox counts you three thousand and the big sheep counts you seven hundred. If you want them all, the strong ox will be worth one hundred less, and the big sheep will be worth fifty less. As for money, it is best to have some tickets and five baht coins.
"The man from Wuhuan patted his chest and assured very boldly that the price is already on the low side. In the mainland, a strong beef costs almost 8,000, and even at the Jizhou wholesale market, it costs around 5,000.
"Let's take a look at the goods now. As long as there are no big problems, I will take all the goods." Chen Xi pretended that he was a wealthy businessman, not to mention that the price was indeed quite low.
"How brave!" The man from Wuhuan gave a thumbs up and said, "No matter whether it succeeds or not, I will treat you to a roast lamb tonight. I am very good at doing this."
"Speaking of which, why do you need more money and tickets here? Where I am in Jizhou, they either require money or tickets. I have never seen someone like you." Chen Xi was a little curious.
asked.
"This is not a big problem. In fact, tickets are very convenient to use, suitable for hiding, and easy to carry around when going out. But in fact, most meals can be spent with five baht, and daily use of tickets will be more expensive.
It's inconvenient." The man explained casually.
Chen Xi was thoughtful after hearing this, but then suppressed his new thoughts. At this moment, a warning horn sounded outside.
"Brother, you stay at my house first and don't go out. Those beardies in the north don't dare to go south now, but dozens of people are looting everywhere. They don't do anything and they actually want to steal our things. I really don't want to live."
The man from Wuhuan stood up and said to Chen Xi.
Then he turned around, pulled out a suit of chain armor from under the couch, put it directly on his body, picked up his horse-cutting sword, and rushed out on a strong bull with a saddle and big horns at the door.
"You actually fight on an ox." Chen Xi looked at the Wuhuan man who was running very fast strangely, "Well Yun'er, how much money do we have left? If not, please prepare pen and paper for me."
