Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 596

Beiyan was originally a place of bitter cold, and the winter every year seemed extraordinarily long, but it was different this year in Jianzhou, everywhere was bustling with activity.

The emergence of the secret realm of heaven and earth has mobilized all forces except the common people, forming a wave of cultivation.

The outstanding seedlings of each family are training in the secret realm, and various news can be transmitted from the secret realm every day.

Somebody's so-and-so cultivation base has improved, and they have become powerful seeds of the younger generation, and their living conditions have improved.

There are also what kind of treasures have been obtained by someone else's family in the secret realm, what kind of inheritance left by the knights has been revealed, and so on.

After cultivating, his cultivation base has been greatly improved, and he has changed from an unknown guard to a rookie with great power.

These news have become the talk of the common people in winter.

But these news are not all true, some of them are exaggerated, the purpose is to take this opportunity to expand the reputation of his sect, and see if he can recruit some good seedlings.

It makes some people's lips twitch, if they can successfully worship these forces, not to mention food and clothing, at least enough food and clothing.

On the contrary, it brought about an upsurge of apprenticeship.

Let this winter a little more lively.

At the same time, the beginning of spring is approaching, and they have almost rested, and some work needs to be restarted. The income of each chamber of commerce in winter will be lower than that of other quarters.

After all, this is not the high-tech era on Blue Star. Unless it is a necessary event in winter, most people would rather stay at home than blow cold wind outside.

Various caravans have also become active, ready to fight for the first pot of gold in the new year.

However, among this group of people, there are some special existences. They prepared a large amount of goods and chose to go north instead of going south.

At this time, there are relatively few grassland people coming to the south to trade, and there is also a little friction with Beiyan. Not everyone has the courage to come to trade at this time, in case they are labeled as spying on military intelligence. At that time, it will be difficult to take it down.

Under normal circumstances, merchants in Jianzhou should go south at this time, trading goods in the south where the temperature is more suitable in Beiyan and then transporting them back.

What's more interesting is that some businessmen planted the flag of the Jianzhou Mutual Aid Association on their motorcades. When did Jianzhou have such an organization?Chamber of Commerce?
But many of these people are the bosses of small chambers of commerce themselves, don't they quit?Or was it annexed and acquired?
Thanking the boss for this, they all smiled mysteriously and didn't say much. They are the various merchants who signed the contract in Luanfeng City.

This period of winter has suffocated these merchants. They held the goods in their hands and did not sell a large number of them. Instead, they had to stock up and prepare to see how the military market sold.

The appearance of the secret realm of heaven and earth attracted the attention of most people, and at the same time attracted the attention of the Great Chamber of Commerce.

For example, large chambers of commerce such as the Lian Chamber of Commerce are very interested in products that are not used by some families or sects, and there are many products that are released by casual cultivators. They have no value in their hands, but they are in high demand among the chamber of commerce. treasures.

Small businessmen like them have the guts to purchase alcohol and the like on the market, mainly for living supplies and entertainment.

If it was the past situation, those big merchants would definitely pay attention to the actions of these small merchants, how keen their business sense is, and what to do with buying so much alcohol and the like in the winter for no reason.

But now these big chambers of commerce are focusing on the products of the secret realm of heaven and earth, and they don't pay much attention to the actions of these small merchants. It is just that they are taking the opportunity to hoard goods and prepare to sell them in large quantities to hit the market. It is impossible. It is to put those wines and so on at home.

So this is the first time that the military market running northward has a lot of goods.

Everyone comes from different places in Jianzhou, and those who are slightly farther away will set off first and move closer to the members of the Jianzhou Mutual Aid Association closest to them. Then the two families will merge and then go to the next place to meet people from other families.

In this way, safety can be guaranteed to the greatest extent. Usually, when they run a business by themselves, they are worried, and they have to spend a lot of manpower to protect their goods. If they encounter robbers, they may lose everything.

It is very wise to group together, and they don't need to worry about the scam of strangers grouping together.

There used to be a businessman walking with the chamber of commerce they encountered on the way. The destinations of both parties were the same, so they set off together, and they did not encounter any danger along the way. The two of them had a large number of people, and ordinary robbers Dare to approach.

It turned out that this later caravan was actually a group of bandits. They disguised themselves very well. They pretended to be small chambers of commerce on weekdays, sold stolen goods, and laundered themselves. Of course, it was very possible for them to resume their original jobs and take action along the way. things.

As a result, the caravan was slaughtered by the bandits during the middle of the night, and even the goods were taken away. If it wasn't for another guard who ran out to relieve his stomach because of eating badly, there might not even be a single survivor.

The bandits who seriously threatened the safety of businessmen were naturally wiped out by the government afterwards.

But it also left a valuable experience for the vast number of businessmen, that is, they should not trust too much outside except their own people, and should always be on guard.

Everyone in the Jianzhou Mutual Aid Association has also met each other. Even those who have only heard of their names but not their faces have all recognized that businessmen may not be good at other things, but they are still very good at memory and worldliness. , there may not be any relationship at first, but after meeting, a conversation or even a transaction can quickly shorten the distance between the two parties.

All kinds of teams left behind continued to gather, and the scale gradually became larger. From a distance, it was no worse than the large caravans of the Great Chamber of Commerce.

It's just that it's the first time to cooperate with so many people to run a business, and some businessmen are still not used to it. The scene is too big, far beyond their imagination.

Each family has brought a huge amount of goods, especially there are several important personnel among them, and they are also powerful in the mutual aid association.

If a bandit spy sees it, he will drool every minute, oh my god, this scale is too big, it is simply a big fat sheep.

But this fat sheep is not something that the bandits can eat whenever they want.

There are so many merchants involved, and each house has a lot of guards. If there are bandits who have any bad ideas, they don't dare to go.

There are too many people to eat.

Then the gathered teams continued to go north after passing through Luanfeng City. At the same time, members of the Jianzhou Mutual Aid Association continued to join along the way. There are 6000 to [-] guards from various families accompanying such goods, and some are handymen. Such a huge team is not chaotic, but in good order.

The people of each family should focus on guarding their own trucks, and then follow the orders of the Luanfeng Guards who accompany them on the outermost layer. They should rest when they should rest, and go on the road when they should go on the road.

Some people on the official road were a little surprised to see such a huge team, and some stayed far away and did not dare to get close.

Although they don't know what kind of organization the Jianzhou Mutual Aid Association is, judging from the name, it should not be an ordinary organization. Ordinary people like themselves should not join in the fun. If there is a conflict, it is terrible that they will suffer the loss. Look at the other people outside. There are soldiers on horseback, but I don't know which nobleman's private soldiers they are.

Not everyone knew that these female soldiers were Luanfeng Guards. It was quite normal for some dignitaries who liked women, or a lady from a big family to have a pair of female guards by her side.

And as the leadership of the Jianzhou Mutual Aid Association.

Yan Xuelan, Jia Zheng, and Shi Lin were all there.

The accompanying personnel included Chen Zheng, Beili, Xiao Yan, and a thousand Luan Phoenix guards.

In fact, Yan Xuelan didn't want to take so many people to the military market. There was no danger on the road and there was no need for so many people to protect her.

But Xie Nongqi disagreed, and finally asked Beili to bring a thousand personal guards to accompany her as escort. She didn't particularly trust those businessmen.

Xiao Yan, as Yan Xuelan's half-apprentice, although the two of them did not perform the ceremony of apprenticeship, and Yan Xuelan did not open his mouth, but in Xiao Yan's heart, Yan Xuelan was definitely his teacher, not only teaching For his own cultivation, he also provided him with the exercises he cultivated, and he also found a way to find flames for him to fuse with him to improve his strength. It can be said that he treated Yan Xuelan generously. Xiao Yan was always grateful and treated Yan Xuelan like a disciple.

Where the master is, the disciples will of course be there. While accepting the master's teaching, at the same time do something for the master within their ability.

As for Chen Zheng, he came here to get acquainted with the process. In the future, the Procuratorate will set up his eyes on this road to see if anyone is committing crimes.

To monitor the trade routes, one must ensure the interests of one's own side, and at the same time, one needs to monitor whether any merchants have betrayed the interests of the Jianzhou Mutual Aid Association.

The Heavenly Dao contract is only restricted among their members. If there is an external force affecting the binding force of the Heavenly Dao contract, it is naturally because it has no effect.

At this time, you need to use your own strength to supervise.

At the same time, Yan Xuelan also told Jia Zheng and Shi Lin on the way to the Zhenbei Army's garrison.

To prevent such a situation from happening not only needs internal supervision, but also external supervision.

Jia Zheng and Shi Lin both nodded in agreement. They had also thought about this matter when they went back. The Jianzhou Mutual Aid Association is a joint organization that serves various small businessmen. They can accept sincere partners, but for those who are cheating on others. stuff, they hate it.

It is not uncommon for people to be stabbed in the back for so many years in business. For the sake of profit, let alone stabbing, even selling one's own soul is done by someone.

Shi Lin and Jia Zheng almost use their utmost malice to try to figure out others on weekdays, so that they can give themselves an extra way out when communicating and cooperating with others.

As for how to maintain the stability of the internal members of the Jianzhou Mutual Aid Association, Yan Xuelan naturally does not need to take care of it. She only needs to supervise Jia Zheng and Shi Lin.Let them do things for themselves in a down-to-earth manner, and then let them supervise the people below. At the same time, there are also the Heluo Gang, the Crow Chamber of Commerce, Tian Buqi, and the caravans of the Hundred Flowers Sect. Make sure that Yan Xuelan can keep abreast of the internal situation of the Jianzhou Mutual Aid Association at all times, and be foolproof.

Because every large truck is full of goods, and in winter, there is a lot of ice and snow on the road, so the forward speed is slower, but this kind of journey is also faster than their team going south to other states. Be fast.

Traveling in winter is quite hard and boring, but no one complains, this is their job of eating.

Not to mention walking on ice and snow, even in a more difficult environment, in order to transport goods as soon as possible, none of them have experienced it.

These are all small cases.

Not to mention that there are drinks to warm up every day along the way. You can’t drink too much, but it can be used to resist the cold, and then you can use your skills to resist it. no.

In this way, the huge caravan went all the way north until it arrived near the destination.

Although there is still a considerable distance from the camp of the Zhenbei Army, the majestic mountains in the distance and the tall city walls that also stand on the mountains can already be seen with the naked eye.

You can't even see the edge at a glance. It is indeed a huge project.

On the snow-covered city wall in the distance, the flag belonging to Beiyan fluttered, which was particularly conspicuous in this ice and snow field.

This is the Great Wall of Beijiang that symbolizes Beiyan’s unyielding spirit.

It was built on the mountain range named Beishan, and then there is an endless prairie outside. Beishan is rolling and rolling, and the terrain has a relatively large drop. Not all places have the possibility of building the Great Wall, and there are inevitably omissions. Some small fish and shrimps from the prairie people will come in here. Large-scale troops can’t get in. A few hundred people will be fine. No matter how many people there are, the patrols of the Zhenbei Army are not vegetarians, and they don’t even respond at all. .

However, the camp of the Zhenbei Army was not arranged on the plain behind the Great Wall. It was on the North Mountain. According to the generals of the Zhenbei Army, it was the rules set by the commanders of the past. Only by training and living in the Beishan can the children Get better exercise, sweat more on weekdays, and bleed less during battle.

The relatively complex terrain of Beishan has become a place to train the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army, which makes 8 their training very abundant. In addition to whether there is an army of prairie people here, the Zhenbei Army has a lot of actual combat experience.

It can be said that the throne with the strongest combat effectiveness among the three armies should belong to the Zhenbei Army.

However, they didn't need to enter Beishan for this transaction. There was already a newly built area under Beishan.
