Chapter 734: Humans are harmless to tigers Tigers are harmful to human hearts!
The guard leader took his guards for a long stroll, purchased many specialties unique to the frontier, and returned to the inn happily.
"We're back. Everyone knows the rules of Tongyuan City by heart, right?"
The chief steward happened to be in the lobby of the rented courtyard. He called a group of guards in and said with a smile: "It will be much easier to do things in the future if you understand some of the rules here!"
"Don't worry, Chief Steward!"
The guard leader solemnly said: "I have made it clear to my brothers. At least I will not break the rules in the city for no reason and be taken away by the patrolling warriors in the city!"
"That's good!"
The chief steward nodded with satisfaction, looked around and said with a smile: "It's not easy for us to come to Tongyuan City even though we are thousands of miles away, so don't cause any trouble just because you are not used to it!"
Speaking of this, he paused and his tone became serious, and his face turned cold and he said calmly: "Make it clear in advance that if someone gets into trouble because they can't control themselves, the caravan will not be responsible for fishing for people!"
Without waiting for the guards and laborers to react, their expressions softened and they continued: "Of course, you don't have to be afraid if you encounter trouble. Although the rules here are a bit strict, they are still fair. As long as you are reasonable, you can argue with the royal caravan.
There’s no need to worry about being suppressed!”
As soon as these words came out, the guards and staff were shocked.
Who is the owner of the three-thousand-mile border that he dares to provoke even the Da Qi royal family?
"You don't have to doubt it!"
Seeing the suspicious looks on the faces of his guards and caravan guys, the leader of the guard smiled and confirmed: "A few years ago, a steward of the royal caravan ran wild here, and was killed on the spot. After that, the border of three thousand miles remained as peaceful as ever.
, the royal caravan did not interrupt trade with the border!"
"Three thousand miles across the border, not only is the environment peaceful, but the security is also incredibly good!"
The chief steward of the caravan said loudly: "This place is close to the Demon Realm, and you can get a lot of specialties from the Demon Realm. In addition to your own production, it is a rare place where trade is prosperous. No commercial power will give up lightly.
Even the Da Qi royal family is like this!"
Hiss...
The guards and the guys couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. They didn't expect the frontier lord to be so fierce and not even give the Qi royal family face.
After all, Da Qi has been a country for nearly two thousand years, and the idea of orthodoxy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Despite the current chaos in Da Qi, with not only feudal vassals and towns rebelling but also anti-king flags raised, the Da Qi royal family still has an absolute advantage in strength.
It's just like every dynasty that has problems. Although the Daqi royal family has great advantages, it cannot integrate all the resources it can use. It is impossible to form a joint force, which is why Daqi is in chaos now.
Of course, the most important thing is that there is something wrong with the royal family itself, otherwise the domestic situation will not be turbulent.
These have nothing to do with ordinary caravan guys and guards. They only need to know that the Lord of the Border does not buy the account of the Daqi Royal Family, and that the Daqi Royal Family has not turned against them yet.
“In Tongyuan, everyone can relax!”
The chief steward of the caravan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "If nothing else, safety is no problem!"
"When our goods are sold out, we will receive additional benefits from you all. Take a good rest here in Tongyuan. Once we have purchased a sufficient amount of border specialties, we will set off to return!"
The guards and clerks present naturally had no objections. After traveling thousands of miles in business, it would be the best thing to have a good rest.
Since even the caravan manager made it clear that Tongyuan City was safe, they had nothing to worry about.
…
At the other end of the inn, there was also a group of people discussing Tongyuan City and the entire Three Thousand Miles Frontier.
"Tongyuan has a permanent population of 200,000 and a floating population of about 100,000!"
A middle-aged man with a shrewd face was carefully reading an official announcement in his hand. His voice was very strong and measured, giving people a sense of calmness and reliability.
At this time, nearly ten men with extraordinary bearing were sitting in the huge lobby of the courtyard, listening carefully to the middle-aged man's reading: "There are 500 registered businesses and more than 2,000 mobile traders, making it the largest on the border in Shanqianli."
Foreign Trade Mall!”
"Every day, the business turnover in Tongyuan City exceeds one million taels of silver. On festivals or when merchants from the hinterland of Qi gather in large numbers, the daily business turnover exceeds three million taels of silver!"
"The martial arts in Tongyuan City is at its peak. There are dozens of martial arts schools in the city, and there are hundreds of large and small escort bureaus, among which there are many good ones. If you put them in the hinterland of Daqi, they can run rampant across the entire state!"
"The culture and education of Tongyuan City is prosperous, with the six arts of Confucian gentleman, Mohist organ skills, Legalist laws and regulations, military strategists and tactics as the main study directions, as well as miscellaneous families, farmers, etc., all official residents of the city have a five-year-old child at home, regardless of gender.
They all go to dozens of schools all over the city for free!”
Hiss...
Hearing this, the nearly ten men with extraordinary bearings present all took a deep breath.
"What a generous gesture and generous finances!"
"Hmph, the border is the border. You are willing to spend such a huge amount of money on a group of Guizhou leaders. You might as well give us an advantage!"
"That is, they regard Confucianism as the mainstream along with Legalism, Mohism, and military strategists. I don't know what it means!"
"If some of the great scholars from the mainland knew about it, I'm afraid there would be a huge commotion!"
"Qianshou should have the lifestyle of Qianshou. The city lord here doesn't know how to unite the gentry, but instead spends a lot of energy on Qianshou. Can the Qianshou in the city still help Tongyuan City?"
"..."
This method of popularizing education caused inexplicable waves of fear in the hearts of the pretentious guys sitting in the lobby.
If the leaders of Guizhou are asked to learn literature and martial arts, so that they can think independently when they have knowledge, how can they cheat in the future, or rely on more knowledge to become masters?
Therefore, subconsciously, the "ambitious" people in the room felt a little more disgusted with the Tongyuan City officials who implemented such "despicable government".
"Ahem..."
The middle-aged man who had been reading the official proclamation coughed lightly, signaled everyone present to be silent, raised a thick stack of proclamations in his hand, and said slowly: "We can discuss it again after I finish reading it!"
The originally noisy noise suddenly fell silent. The nearly ten smart people present exchanged glances and subconsciously kept silent. The middle-aged Jinghou continued to read the proclamation in his hand.
"The Tongyuan City government has extremely strict control over the entire city. Almost all of the government officials in their hands are martial arts experts, and their number is much larger than that of the Beijing government. There are thousands of them, and they control the entire city.
The order management is in an orderly manner, suppressing all forces and not daring to act rashly!"
"Stop reading it yet!"
At this time, the dignified middle-aged man sitting in the first place spoke with a gleam in his eyes and said in a deep voice: "A small border town actually has so many government officials. What strength do they have?"
The shrewd middle-aged man who read the official proclamation stopped and answered without thinking: "At least they are all at the level of a third-rate master!"
Hiss...
There was a gasp in the lobby. The small Tongyuan government actually had thousands of third-rate masters in its hands. This power was terrifyingly powerful.
"Is there any way to accept this group of masters?"
The majestic middle-aged man sitting in the first place had a strong look of greed in his eyes and said solemnly, "If we can hold such a powerful force in our hands, it will be of great help to our future plans!"
The faces of the other people were also flushed. They did not expect that Tongyuan City would be in such a situation and that there would be such a large number of experts. It was simply a great gift prepared for them.
"I'm afraid it won't be easy to persuade the Tongyuan City officials!"
The shrewd middle-aged man holding a government proclamation poured cold water on him and said: "There are not only government offices in the city, but also five thousand city defense troops. All of them are elite-level warriors. Their strength is no weaker than that of the government offices!"
"What, Tongyuan City still has five thousand city defense troops?"
The eyes of the majestic man sitting at the top were brighter and he murmured: "The strength is not worse than that of the government yamen, this is another rare and powerful force!"
The rest of them were also excited, as if if they were willing, Tongyuan City could be easily captured by both the government and the city defense army. They were all in high spirits and excited, eager to get ready for the boss to speak immediately so that they could gather these two people.
A powerful force.
"There's no rush now!"
The majestic man sitting at the top waved his hand and said leisurely: "Tongyuan is indeed a good place. It has money and people. Once something happens, it can immediately build momentum. The effect will not be worse than in the hinterland of Daqi!"
At this point, he paused and frowned: "It's just that Tongyuan is just a city on the border three thousand miles away. I don't know if the other border cities have such foundation and strength. We still have to consider the mysterious person.
Lord of the Frontier!"
"Hmph, what a bullshit frontier lord, what does he mean in front of the big leader?"
A younger but tough young man in the lobby sneered: "With the strength of the big leader, even if you encounter monsters and monsters, you can easily defeat them. I'm afraid that a mere unknown frontier lord can turn the world upside down."
Can’t make it?”
"That is, the big leader will directly capture the so-called Lord of the Frontier, and we will also capture all the cities in the three thousand miles of Frontier!"
The equally tough man next to him, but with several scars on his face, shouted: "Tongyuan City alone is so prosperous, and the other cities along the three thousand miles border together, I'm afraid they can't earn tens of millions of taels of silver every year.
It’s enough for us to make a comeback and even make more noise and noise than before!”
The man sitting at the top with a majestic face smiled complacently, waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, after hearing the overall situation of the three thousand miles border, we will figure out how to capture it in one fell swoop!"
"It sounds weird!"
When the noisy noise in the lobby subsided, the shrewd man who read the official announcement raised a thick stack of announcements in his hand and said puzzledly: "I have to say that the contents here are all official secrets, even if they don't need to be too confidential.
, we shouldn’t just print it and sell it directly in bookstores, it’s simply unreasonable!”
