Luo Gang curled up in the quilt and slept soundly.

Compared with the soft bed at home in Bianliang, the bed here was hard. In the first few days, it was really hard for Luo Gang to sleep, but now he was so tired that he couldn't care about so much, let alone have a piece of cake.

The bed board was covered with a mattress, so even if he was thrown on a stone, he would still be able to fall asleep soundly.

These days, Xiao Cheng is so annoying.

Not only do we need to collect data, we also need to organize and classify it, and finally we need to analyze the data, and finally formulate a set of action plans based on these data. But after the action plan is come out, it is not finished, and we have to use these plans to attack the major military camps.

Even in the army, he talked with ordinary people and some soldiers at the lowest level, asking some questions tirelessly, and then conducted an investigation of the plan based on the questions collected.

In Luo Gang's view, a simple matter of moving an army to a town was actually made extremely complicated by Xiao Cheng.

When the final plan took shape, Luo Gang couldn't help but be speechless. Damn it, he even had to take care of these people's going to the latrines! Everything was done in detail, every detail, which made Luo Gang feel scared.

However, if these plans can be implemented in the next actions and achieve excellent results, Luo Gang will feel that his trip is truly worthwhile.

It turns out that things can be planned and completed this way.

Today, Xiao Cheng was merciful and gave them all a break. He himself took these action plans and went to Xiao Ding to discuss them and make the final decision.

So not only Luo Gang, but everyone else also took the time to catch up on their sleep.

Everyone knows that when the plan is officially approved by Xiao Ding, they will set off as the advance army again.

Boom boom boom!

There was a not polite knock on the door, waking Luo Gang from his sleep.

He poked his head out from under the quilt in annoyance, half-opened his sleepy eyes, and yelled angrily: "Get out!"

In the entire Tianmen Village, there were really few people he was afraid of. Except for those from the Xiao family, he didn't even take Xu Hong seriously.

"Luo Sanlang! You actually scolded me and told me to get out! Get out!" A voice came from outside. In an instant, Luo Gang's hair stood on end, and the sleepiness in his head disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The person knocking on the door was actually Xiao Yi, the third wife of the Xiao family.

He rolled up and rushed up, opened the window with a bang, and saw Xiao Ai, dressed in men's clothing, walking back angrily.

"Third sister, wait!" Luo Gang shouted: "I didn't know it was you!"

Xiao Yi turned around and looked at Luo Gang, who was disheveled and disheveled. At first, his eyebrows were raised and the corners of his mouth were lowered. He stared sideways for a moment, but in the end there was still no stretch, and he burst out laughing.

Luo Gang suddenly felt his eyes light up, and the third sister smiled, smiled! This is good!

"What time has it been? Are you still sleeping in? Get up quickly. It's very lively outside today. There are many caravans coming. Let's go see the excitement later!" Xiao Yi waved his hand: "Hurry up and clean up, I'll wait for you!"

Luo Gang was immediately overjoyed. It seemed that Xiao Yi came to him because he had found a way to get rid of Gao Qi. However, the two brothers Xiao Cheng and Xiao Ding probably had no time to deal with the third wife of the Xiao family now.

This is a rare opportunity to be alone.

Luo Gang quickly got dressed, wiped his face with the cold water on the basin stand, then grabbed a cup of cold tea on the table, stretched out his fingers, dug out some tea leaves, and chewed it in his mouth

He chewed the tea, spit it out, then drank the tea into his mouth, turned it around a few times, spit it out with a porcupine sound, and then eagerly opened the door.

"So fast?" Xiao Yi's eyes widened with a suspicious expression on his face. "Did you not wash your face and rinse your mouth?"

"Where is it? It's not fast at all!" Luo Gang said sternly: "Third sister, look at the corners of my eyes to see if there's eye mucus, isn't it?" After saying that, he let out a sigh of relief: "Isn't it tasteless?"

Xiao Ai spat and said: "You will be shameless if the eldest brother and the second brother are not here. Be careful, I will tell them to beat you."

"No!" Luo Gang said with a smile: "Whether it's eldest brother or Chongwen, he still believes in my character. By the way, you stay for a while, I'll go to the kitchen to make something to cook.

Fill your stomach with cakes.”

"Why do we still eat cooking cakes now? It's become a big market outside! Is there anything to eat?" Xiao Ai said: "Come with me and go shopping."

"Is there a big market outside?" Luo Gang was confused.

When he first arrived at Tianmen Village, he climbed up the city tower and took a closer look at the most important military stronghold on the border between Song and Liao.

There is a bare wasteland in front of it, with holes dug everywhere. The moat surrounding the village is nearly two feet wide, and once the suspension bridge is raised, it is completely cut off from the outside.

"It's really a big market." Xiao Yi said seriously: "When we were in Bianliang, didn't everyone say that people from the Song Dynasty and Liao Dynasty were incompatible and would fight to the death when they met? Why are there so many stalls outside today?

It seems that Liao people make up the majority of business people, right?"

"Is there such a thing?" Luo Gang's eyes widened, "Let's go and have a look!"

The two of them went up to the tower of Tianmen Village. On top of the tower, the soldiers of Guang Rui were fully armed and stared at the bustling market below. In the market, there were also some soldiers patrolling back and forth.

It seemed that everything was under control, and Luo Gang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Luo Langjun, Sanniang, why are you here?" A familiar voice came. The two turned around and saw Wang Jun walking over. Although he was carrying a knife, he was not wearing armor.

"Wang Tongzhi, does this happen often?" Luo Gang asked, pointing to the lively market below.

"It's rare!" Wang Jun shook his head and said, "In the past, even during festivals, it was never so lively?"

"Is that a fraud? Are there many spies hidden here?" Luo Gang asked in surprise.

Wang Jun laughed loudly: "Luo Langjun is overthinking. I really want the Liao people to take this opportunity to attack our Tianmen Village. It will not have any other effect except giving us heads. Who will die in this way?"

What are you doing? The reason why there are so many people today is that the Liao people also know that our Guangrui Army is moving to the town as a whole, so they seize the time to come over and make a fortune."

"How can we make money from this?" Luo Gang was puzzled.

"Of course there are." Wang Jun said: "For example, their big animals are usually not very valuable, but now that we are leaving, aren't we just missing the big animals to haul things? Not only do we, the Guangrui Army, want to buy them,

The family members also want to buy, and if they can bring more things, they are naturally willing to bring more."

"Oh!" Luo Gang suddenly realized.

"Furthermore, thousands of families here are leaving, and there are always some household appliances they won't want. And if our family members sell these things, they can make a lot of money, right? At this time, right?

, the price is naturally not high. Those Liao people can take the opportunity to get a bargain, collect these things, return to the Liao Kingdom, and resell them at several times the profit. Even for their own use, it is also very good, you know

, our Song people’s craftsmen are still a little better than their craftsmen.”

"Also, we are bordering the Liao people here. Speaking of things like kumis, cheese, and so on, everyone likes to eat them. The other side can also take the opportunity to sell these things to us! Because such a big community has formed

The market and various food stalls naturally followed. Luo Langjun, Sanniangzi, do you want to take a look?"

Luo Gang glanced at Xiao Yi, nodded and said, "I happened to not have breakfast today."

Wang Jun laughed: "Then I'll call a few soldiers to accompany you two down. As soon as you two meet each other, the people below will know that you are not locals, and they will definitely kill you severely."

"Do Liao people do this too?" Xiao Yi asked with a smile.

"All principles in the world can be understood in one way!" Wang Jun laughed: "These are not divided into north and south, Chinese or foreign. They can all be learned by oneself without a teacher."

Under the leadership of two soldiers, Luo Gang and Xiao Yi walked out of Tianmen Village along the small door on one side, crossed the moat, and when they looked back at Tianmen Village behind them, they felt completely different.

When they were on the city tower before, they didn't think much of Tianmen Village. Now when they looked at it from this place, they suddenly found that Tianmen Village was like a beast lying on the ground, watching them coldly.

The heavily armed soldiers of Guangrui, the cold light of the Eight Bull Crossbows, and the flags fluttering in the wind all reminded the two of them what kind of place this place was.

Looking down at the ground beneath my feet, I wonder how many people's blood has been soaked in this place over the years.

"Two noble gentlemen, in fact, the food of the Liao people is not very delicious. The people who come here to set up stalls are the most common food in the market. We rough people are not particular about it. I'm afraid the two

You are not used to this!" A soldier laughed and said: "The only interesting thing today is the roasted whole lamb, which is rare. Several brothers ate it this morning and they all said it tasted great."

He knew the elegant meaning of the song after hearing it. Luo Gang was a person among thousands of flowers. As soon as the soldier opened his mouth, he knew what it meant. It is definitely delicious, but it is also expensive. Otherwise, look at the two of them.

You look like a glutton, if it were cheaper, you would have gone and feasted on it long ago. It must be because it is expensive, so you are reluctant to part with it.

"Is it really so delicious? Then let's try it together. If you don't mind it, will you accompany us to have a meal of this roasted whole lamb?"

"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it!" the two soldiers were overjoyed and kept saying, which made Xiao Yi burst into laughter. It also made the two soldiers confused for a while, not knowing what they said wrongly, making Mrs. Xiao Sanniang laugh so much.

.

The roasted whole lamb stall is the same as other food stalls. Four poles are inserted into the ground, a piece of felt cloth is pulled up from the top, and a few simple benches and tables are placed.

But when he saw the rack of roasting whole lamb, Luo Gang couldn't help but frown.

This rack is a little too sophisticated. The lamb inside is roasted using smokeless silver charcoal. Smelling the fragrant aroma, Xiao Ai also widened his eyes and said: "A lot of spices are used. This roast lamb is so...

Aren’t you afraid of losing money when doing business?”

Spices are a very luxurious thing. Ordinary people just roast a lamb and just rub some salt on it.

When the four people walked over, there were already two people sitting inside, a handsome Liao man in his early thirties and a Han scholar in long robes and scarves. The two were sitting on the bench, looking not far away.
