Volume 32 Chapter 13
"Uncle Man, your mutton is sold out so quickly?" Just at the gate of the city, a young man driving a medium-sized steam truck waiting to enter the city rolled up the window, stretched out his head, and looked at a sitting man. cried the old man, wrapped in a sheepskin coat and hat, from the ox-cart.
The two seem to be acquaintances, and they should live in the farms and villages near Youzhou City. Those farms and villages are also under the jurisdiction of Youzhou City. Most of the population under the jurisdiction of Youzhou City live in the surrounding area. among the countryside.
"Chinese New Year is coming soon, and all my mutton was given to old customers, and it was taken away as soon as it arrived at the market, so I went back first!" The old man pulled down his sheepskin hat, breathing heavily Said, "Why are you alone today, why didn't your brother come?"
"My brother has a lot of strength, and he hasn't stopped punching all these years. Last night, my uncle came back and said that the new bow station in the town will recruit a few archers. The salary is good. The salary of more than ten gold coins a year will be very good in the future. Well, maybe I can be a booth manager, so let my brother try it. My brother will go today before dawn. If he is lucky, he will have a public meal in the future. Today’s mushroom and winter cabbage cart is Liu Guanshi from Zhenwei Building. I don’t need my brother’s help, I’ll just send it to the Zhenwei Building, and the guy at the Zhenwei Building will unload the things for me!” said the young man from Muli, seeing that Mu Passed the inspection in front of him. One, and moved the steam truck he was driving forward.
"Hahahaha, I see you are hardworking. Next year, Uncle Man will also be a matchmaker for you and tell you a beautiful and capable daughter-in-law!" the old man joked, and after saying this, the old man waved his hand, "Okay , hurry up, if the delivery is late, the little stewards will not look good!"
"Ah, then thank you Uncle Man, oh, Uncle Man, take it easy on the road, I'll find you for a drink when I come back!" The young man driving the truck looked beaming, stretched out his hand out of the window, and hit the old man. Greeted, and drove into the city.
The old man driving the ox cart took out a small metal flagon from his arms, took a sip of the wine, and then drove the ox cart out of the city.
When the young man drove into the city gate, Zhang Tie was beside the car on the sidewalk entering the city, and was about to enter Youzhou City.
Zhang Tie was wearing a hooded fur cape. When the cap of the hooded fur cape was pulled up, not only his head was covered, but his face and the parts below the eyes were basically covered. Zhang Tie in this cloak is not afraid of being recognized.
The soldiers at the gate of the city were checking whether the vehicles carried some prohibited items, but most of the trucks entering the city carried vegetables, meat and other things, and whether there were any prohibited items could be seen at a glance, so the vehicles passed It was very fast. Within this city gate, there were eight lanes for entering and exiting the city, and it was not considered crowded.
In Mou Liu, more than 80% of the vehicles are small and medium-sized steam trucks or tractors. Of course, there are also some animal-drawn vehicles. In addition to the most common long-horned yaks in Youzhou, there are also animal-drawn vehicles in Mouzhong. There is a kind of tall and strong reindeer, and occasionally you can even see one or two rhinoceros horses pulling carts.
Seeing the rhinoceros-drawn cart, even the soldiers who were inspecting at the gate of the city couldn't help but take a second look to see if it was a military horse. The rhinoceros horses in the military horse farm have marks on them, and ordinary people can't use them. Horses will not be sold to ordinary people, but in the wilderness of Youzhou, there are still some wild rhinoceros horses. These wild rhinoceros horses exist, and some newly born ponies will be caught by some local people in Youzhou. I realized that catching a rhinoceros horse is a desperate thing, but if you can catch it, you can also show it off.
Most of the rhinoceros horses captured from the wild will be sold to military stud farms for breeding.
But there are also a small number of captured rhinoceros horses that will be left behind. Most of these people who keep rhinoceros horses are living in the wilderness.
Wilderness escort is also a profession that Zhang Tie only heard about after he came to Taixia Youzhou. This profession is a combination of pioneer hunters, professional hunters and part-time herb pickers. If necessary, these people can go to the wild to draw Maps, exploring the terrain of uncultivated areas, in order to make a living, these people occasionally act as hunters, go to the wild to hunt something for sale, but their favorite thing to do is to serve the rich and powerful, Go to the wild to catch some exotic animals or pets designated by the rich and powerful. Pill pharmacists are also customers of these people. For pill pharmacists, in order to refine certain special elixirs or medicines, they need some raw materials from animals and plants, and they often entrust wilderness escorts to help.
Even when the city was built, these wilderness escorts would be hired to take on the responsibility of driving away certain dangerous wild animals in the surrounding area of the city.
It was precisely because he knew that the wilderness escorts in Youzhou were very active that Zhang Tie sent his Thunder Falcons to Liaozhou.
"You are not allowed to enter the city with your face covered!" When Zhang Tie entered the city, a soldier who was inspecting the sidewalk stopped him and said to him seriously.
Zhang Tie pulled down his hood, revealing his face.
Zhang Tie thought he would be recognized, but he didn't expect the soldier to look at him, waved his hand, and let him in.
It turned out that he was acting affectionate, Zhang Tie secretly laughed at himself, smiled, and then pulled up his hood again.
It was not until half a minute after Zhang Tie walked into the city gate that the soldier inspecting him suddenly remembered something, scratched his head inexplicably, and said to himself, "Hey, how do you feel that the young man just now The person looks a little familiar, but I don't know such a person, what's going on!"
When Zhang Tie was famous in Youzhou City more than two months ago, many people have seen him in the cloudy sky mirage, but the Zhang Tie observed in the cloudy sky mirage, because of the angle of the observer The reason is that the observation angles are all within a 45-degree cone from top to bottom, and it is impossible to have a very clear close-up of the front, so this soldier just feels that Zhang Tie looks a little familiar, but But he couldn't remember who Zhang Tie was.
Who would have thought that Yizhou Tingwei, who has the title of Youzhou Tiger, would appear outside a city gate in Youzhou by himself in such a weather without any reason, walking in with no entourage around him? I left Youzhou City.
Not far from the gate of this city, there is a lively trading market, most of the vegetables and meat brought from outside the city to the city are sold here..."
Although it was only the beginning of the day at this time, the trading market was already full of voices, and voices of bargaining were everywhere, and the amount of debate was only a few cents, or a few copper coins...
Listening to the lively voice, Zhang Tie didn't feel annoying, but just kind.
Because when he was in Heiyan City, he often rode his family's three-wheeled Mou to and from such markets to buy rice and grain...
Among the crowd, a child squeezed to Zhang Tie's side, bumped into Zhang Tie, and then disappeared...
Zhang Tie smiled, watching the child quickly disappear into the crowd...
A small pickpocket from Youzhou City actually picks up on the body of Youzhou Tingwei. This is a big joke in the world...
Of course, what's more interesting is that when the little pickpocket reached out to him, Zhang Tie was not carrying anything on his body, but in that ten-thousandth of a second, Zhang Tie's spirit moved, He took out a wallet directly from the Black Iron Castle, put more than ten gold coins in the wallet, and then "stuck" the wallet into the hands of the little pickpocket...
The little pickpocket thought he had got it, got the wallet, squeezed the wallet, didn't look back, and disappeared into the crowd like a loach. He didn't know that the wallet was given to him by Zhang Tiesai, and what he didn't know was that in that ten-thousandth of a second, on his body, on the wallet, and on every gold coin in the wallet, Zhang Tie has attached a tracing touch.
Zhang Tie did this just for fun. Of course, he didn’t come to Youzhou City for more than two months. He also wanted to take a look at the efficiency of his Youzhou Tingwei Temple. Contribute a little to the security of the city. That little pickpocket is still young, if you find an opportunity to pull him out at this time, it's not too late, and you can go on the right path in the future.
Zhang Tie didn't take this matter to heart...
