After walking out of the state pastoral office.

It's approaching evening, and there is a curfew in Jiuyuan County. Now the vendors on the street, big and small, are shouting hard and making a bustling noise at the end of the day.

Zhang Bao, Fang Fu and Luo Mu were walking casually on the street.

Jiuyuan County is different from Heyang County.

Heyang County in Hezhou is a large area containing multiple county governments.

As for Jiuyuan County in the north of Liaozhou, the land is barren and there is only one county and one city.

But the area of ​​the city is still very large.

At least it is much larger than any other county in Yunzhong County or Shanqian County.

Zhang Bao and his two thousand men entered the city, which was more than enough.

Many of the products sold on the street are specialties from the grassland, such as furs, dairy products, and medicinal herbs. These things are not common in Hezhou.

There are even many specialized livestock shops.

"Liaozhou borders the grassland. There are a lot of herders and the number of livestock is astonishing. It is inevitable that there will be some problems or something, and it all depends on these animal husbandry shops."

Luo Mu naturally knows more about the situation in Liaozhou and the grasslands than Zhang Bao and the others.

Then he explained to Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao walked into the store and looked at the various sacks of medicinal powder. He was a little confused. It was the first time he knew that these mules, horses, cattle and sheep also needed so many medicinal materials.

There is a dazzling array of products for breeding, exhausting, irritating, laxatives, etc...

After walking around for a while, Zhang Bao was eye-opening.

With such a long distance, most of the things on the street are different.

And the difference in price is even more surprising.

The price of rice alone is several times that of Hezhou. Correspondingly, the prices of some animal skins and meat are relatively low.

Although Liaozhou is adjacent to the grassland in the north, the water and soil erosion in Liaozhou is relatively severe, the climate is relatively arid, and the production of rice and grain is naturally much less.

Not much food is produced throughout the year.

But it is also the grassland close to the north. Not only the grassland people, but also many herdsmen from Liaozhou go to the grassland to graze, and there are naturally more meat livestock.

"This is a huge business opportunity."

"Currently, the scale of trade exchanges between our various regions in Daxia has not yet been fully developed. If we can organize a large number of caravans to transport grain from Hezhou to Liaozhou, and then buy things from Liaozhou back at low prices.

, the price difference between the two ends, there should be a lot of room for profit."

"It is also a way for ordinary people."

Zhang Bao said to the two of them.

"Based on this price gap, it's natural. When the Sky Eagle tribe was prosperous, there was a lot of business between the grassland and Daxia."

“Although it’s a bit harder, you can still make a lot of money.”

"It's no longer possible. Those caravans have also stopped."

Luo Mu nodded.

"That's right."

"In times of war like this, military disasters are more serious than bandit disasters."

"It would be great if we could also capture Liaozhou, just like the four counties in Heyang County are connected to each other. But at that time, the profit was small and the distance was too close. Thanks to the mountainous terrain of Sanhe County,

Otherwise, the price difference among various commodities wouldn’t be so big.”

Zhang Bao said with a smile.

"Of course, the prices on the grassland are even more outrageous. Many animal skins cannot be processed or stored in time, so they are burned."

"If you can enter the grassland, it will be a business with no capital."

Luo Mu also said on the side.

"It seems that this range is still a bit small. After the governor is killed and Hezhou is captured, we still have to continue to develop northward."

"As a human being, you must have dreams, just in case you realize them one day."

"Boss, please have three pieces of this cake!"

Zhang Bao smiled and came to a stall.

"This... Sir, are you joking?"

"Kill the governor and take Hezhou?"

"Do you want to develop further north?"

"Isn't that..."

Luo Mu asked Fang Fu in a lowered voice.

"Um……"

"Based on what I know about you, sir, your situation is too small."

"As for what the Lord just said, it is really..."

Fang Fu frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Lao Fang?"

"Lao Fang?"

"Get the cake, it's burning me to death, hurry up."

Zhang Bao handed the newly baked biscuits to Fang Fu and Luo Mu, and saw Fang Fu sitting there in a daze.

"What's wrong, Lao Fang?"

"What are you thinking about?"

Zhang Bao asked Fang Fu while eating the cake.

"Oh, before, my father had the same idea as adults and wanted to liberalize some industries in Hezhou, but he had no rights and was restricted by some aristocratic families."

"In the end, it was settled. My father often complained at home."

Fang Fu said slowly.

"From what you say, your father's ideas are very advanced, but it is difficult for him to have direct contact with the people in the position of governor. If you have this kind of idea, you may offend a lot of people."

Zhang Bao nodded.

"Maybe, otherwise Zhu Yue wouldn't have gotten rid of my father, but there are a lot of strange things going on."

"The action was too fast, there was no time to react."

Fang Fu said helplessly.

"Is it possible that Da Sima is involved behind the scenes? Didn't I hear that Zhu Yue and Da Sima are very close?"

"I just heard Fu Mingli say that Zhu Yue is still a disciple of Da Sima."

Zhang Bao asked while biting the cake.

"Da Sima?"

"Which Grand Sima?"

Luo Mu, who was eating cakes, suddenly asked.

"Which Grand Sima?"

"I don't know, isn't there only one Great Sima?"

Zhang Bao was a little confused.

"The current Grand Sima's name is Cao Kang. The previous Grand Sima's name seemed to be Wei——"

Fang Fu continued, but he didn't know much about the people before him.

"Wei Xia Xing!"

Luo Mu took a bite of the cake and said.

Zhang Bao and Fang Fu looked puzzled at Luo Mu's angry expression.

"Sure enough, this Cao Kang succeeded!"

"I was framed by him at that time, and the previous Grand Sima Wei Xiaxing died in my hands."

"Well, no, he died in Cao Kang's hands!"

Although many years have passed since the incident, looking at Luo Mu's reaction, it is obvious that he has not gotten over his previous resentment.

"Um?"

"Is there such a thing?"
