But at this time, in front of Gu's stall, it was still the same small stall, but there were large cars driving in from the outside in an endless stream, and those large cars were all loaded with bulging bags.

, each pocket has a big Chinese character written on it, salt, it’s all salt.

Suddenly, I saw a middle-aged Han scribe standing in front of the car, shouting loudly to the crowd in the exchange market, and said with joy: "I am the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, the general commander of Youyun Exchange Market, there is a great joy today."

As a gift, I would like to give twenty carts of refined salt. As long as all the merchants who come and go say congratulations, I, the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, will have a bag of refined salt as a gift. If any friend can shout a thousand blessings in a row, then we, the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, will

Twenty carts of refined salt are all yours, hahahaha..."

The little saint was stunned on the spot.

Not long ago, she abandoned the respect of the heir of the ancient temple and quarreled like a farm shrew over the business of twenty carts of refined salt. They quarreled for more than half an hour before finally settling the deal.

She paid the price of 500 cows to buy 20 carts of salt from a merchant.

One cart of salt is equivalent to twenty-five cows. Although the price sounds scary, the little saint knows that she has made a big profit.

If it were left to the past, how could the Turks buy such cheap salt? In the past, the Tang Dynasty and the grasslands were hostile, and salt and iron were materials that were strictly prohibited from being traded. Although merchants from aristocratic families in the Central Plains would secretly violate this ban,

When they sell salt, the prices are sky-high.

At that time, if the Turks wanted to buy a cart of salt, they had to pay at least fifty cows, and a cart of salt happened to carry fifty bags, which was equivalent to a cow that could only buy one bag of salt.

Now that there is a mutual market, the price of salt has been reduced by half. For example, the twenty carts of salt she just bought would have cost a thousand cattle in the past? But this time it only cost five hundred, which is equivalent to giving it to the Turkic people.

Five hundred cows were saved.

The little saint was originally very happy.

It's a pity that the most fearful thing in the world is comparison...

She stared blankly at the large cars not far away, and stared at the bags of refined salt on those carts. Then, she stared at the bags of refined salt being thrown out randomly.

In just a dozen short breaths, twenty loads of refined salt were thrown away to people for free. At this time, someone finally told the reason, and everyone in the exchange market finally understood why.

Gu Tianya's two concubines are pregnant.

Gu Tianya's wife was very happy about this.

Then he sent five disciples to give everyone gifts.

And then? After learning the news, the Tang royal family immediately got involved and dispatched twenty carts to transport twenty carts of salt as gifts.

But that's not the end...

I saw more carts coming from the direction of the mutual market gate. Looking from a distance, there was a long row. Those carts were all fully loaded. With the carts came many elegant scribes. Almost every one of them came.

After the scribes entered the exchange market, they would shout loudly towards the exchange market, first announcing their origins, and then stating their purpose...

They are all here to give gifts to people.

Just to respond to the happy event of Gu family in Youzhou.

That happy event can really only be described in one word? Is it just that the concubine is pregnant? How big a deal is this? Although the little saint is a Turk, she has read Han books since she was a child. As for the rules of the Han family in the Central Plains,

She is even more proficient than ordinary Han people.

The concubine's pregnancy? How could she not know that it was a trivial matter?

But such a trivial matter actually caused such a big commotion in the entire stock market.

That truckload of goods, that truckload of refined salt...

There are also tea bricks and grain...

Cloth, iron pot...

As time goes by, more and more people get the news, so more fleets appear at the gate of the mutual market.

They all came to celebrate.

The little saint looked at the vehicles from a distance and found that the flags of various aristocratic families in the Central Plains were planted on the vehicles. She knew that it was a statement, but just a statement used so many materials...

She turned around in a daze and looked at the twenty carts of refined salt she had just bought.

For these twenty carts of refined salt, she paid the price of 500 cows. Although there is no shortage of cattle and sheep on the grassland, every cow is the wealth of the Turks. Starting from the calf, the herdsmen must take good care of, feed and graze it.

, drinking water, care...

Every cow is the lifeblood of the herdsmen.

But in order to buy Han people's salt, she could only bear to pay these cattle in pain.

What's the result?

Many people in the stock market today have never given anything at all. They only need to shout blessings and get more than she got.

Just because Gu Tianya's concubine is pregnant.

Just when the little saint was melancholy and uncomfortable, a Turkic boy suddenly came close to him. The little guy also looked at the big cars from a distance, and then said to her in a cautious tone: "Sister little saint, how about you

Sell ​​yourself. Mr. Gu's family is so rich, and Sister Saint, you are so beautiful. If you are willing to marry him, you will definitely get a lot of money."

The little saint obviously wanted to get angry, and obviously wanted to slap Diluo Zhi, but for some reason she looked at the goods, so her raised arm fell down involuntarily, and she subconsciously said: "This matter,

It’s not impossible…”

This priest is definitely not the kind of person who is greedy for money.

Mainly...

The Han people have so much to offer.

Although the Turks are known as the most powerful country in the world, they are poor!

…

At this time, there was a group of people on the mutual market watching the excitement with cold eyes.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man snorted coldly, with an indescribable coldness in his tone, and said slowly: "Did you all see it? This is the danger I mentioned. There is a tiger on the side of the bed, and Goguryeo will definitely attack it."

It’s hard to sleep and eat well. This Gu Tianya is very dangerous. This Gu family in Youzhou will be Goguryeo’s great enemy..."

The scribe who looked like a follower next to him had a solemn face and said with worry: "Just to congratulate Gu Tianya's concubine on her pregnancy, the Han people used so many materials to give away, and the mutual market opened by Gu Tianya is said to be available to everyone.

Foreign trade will involve a huge amount of materials and will inevitably lead to huge wealth. The aristocratic families of the Han people will become richer and richer, but Gu Tianya, as the owner of the Land of Clouds, is the one who will gain the most. Your Majesty, your prediction is correct.

, this is indeed a huge threat!”

The middle-aged man looked at the lively scene over there from a distance, and said slowly again: "With money, he can raise soldiers, with money, he can raise people, and the entire land of Youyun will take off rapidly.

At that time, it was like giving a pair of wings to a tiger..."

"And if we, Goguryeo, want to avoid being harmed, we must not allow this tiger to gain wings."

"This Gu Tianya will be Goguryeo's life and death enemy."

"I am determined to go to the Turkic Khan's tent immediately. I will have a detailed discussion with Jie Li. I believe that the Khan does not want to see the rise of Gu Tianya..."

"For this reason, we Goguryeo are willing to pay the price of blood to stop it."

…

This group of people of unknown origin left quietly. Before leaving, they deliberately purchased some supplies in order to conceal their identities. They pretended to look like a group of foreign merchants, so that people would miss them if they didn't pay attention.

It's a pity that they would never have thought that they would be targeted from the day they entered Youzhou.

But I saw a little girl biting a pancake, jumping up and down like a child watching the excitement of the exchange market, but her eyes suddenly sharpened, and she said in a serious tone: "Record, on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month in the seventh year of Wude Wude in the Tang Dynasty

, on the first day that Youzhou Mutual Trade was opened, the King of Goguryeo came disguised as a merchant, watched for half a day, and then quietly left..."

This little girl is Li Mingzhu, Li Jiancheng's daughter.

The beggar was still following behind her. After finishing the recording, she was suddenly startled and asked subconsciously: "Why wasn't the risk level of this matter not assessed as usual?"

Li Mingzhu looked at the backs of the group of people from a distance, slowly shook his head and said: "The level of this matter is too high, I am not qualified to judge it yet, you only need to record it, and I will ask the rest before I decide?"

"Ask?" The beggar was startled again.

But he saw Li Mingzhu smile brightly, turn around and run in a certain direction. The beggar subconsciously looked in that direction and immediately understood what Li Mingzhu meant.

The figure over there is none other than their head Gu Tianya.

At this time, Li Mingzhu had already run over there, raised her little face and looked at Gu Tianya, grinning, and said in a quirky way: "Congratulations, uncle, you are going to be a father again..."

Gu Tianya's face turned red obviously. He stretched out his hand and rubbed her forehead lovingly, and said warmly: "When I saw you like this, I knew you wanted to ask for credit again. Tell me, what did you discover this time."

Li Mingzhu blinked and said in a low voice: "The King of Goguryeo, Gao Yuan, left quietly with his people not long ago."

Gu Tianya was startled for a moment, then his eyes deepened, and he said slowly: "I guess he can't sit still anymore."

A murderous look appeared on Li Mingzhu's face, and she said softly: "How about I go find Aunt Tan Xiao and ask her to send out horse bandits to kill her on the way?"

"Need not!"

Gu Tianya shook his head directly.

He looked at the eastern sky from a distance, exhaled leisurely and said: "Killing a King of Goguryeo will not destroy the country of Goguryeo. The land of Youyun and Goguryeo are bordered, and both sides are tigers lying next to each other. Uncle, since I want to be here

If this land of dark clouds takes root, then we have to extend the roots bit by bit. When the root system is deeply rooted, it won't matter whether we kill him or not..."

Li Mingzhu laughed and said, "I'm afraid the entire Goguryeo people will be your people by then, right?"

Gu Tianya burst out laughing, stretched out his hand to stroke the little girl's forehead lovingly again, and joked: "Uncle, I have worked hard to earn the family fortune, and in the future I will not leave it all to the tiger cub. Since it belongs to the tiger cub, doesn't it all belong to you?"

of."

Li Mingzhu ran away shyly.
