Datang: God-level son-in-law, salted fish will become stronger

Numerous camps have sprung up outside the canyon, and it is very lively. There is also a small town not far away.

Moreover, a unique profession was born here, expedition athlete, which means mercenary.

Because the territory of Tubo is not as peaceful as that of Tang Dynasty, it is not very peaceful.

Chapter 1343 Grand Canyon Distribution Center (1/3)

Go through the Grand Canyon West checkpoint.

Li Er, Qin Mu and the others stopped outside the checkpoint, looking at the bustling camp area, dazzled and amazed.

A few high-ranking people from the capital were here, like rookies who had never seen the world, and were shocked.

The temporary camps stretched endlessly and connected to the sky.

Li Er exclaimed: "Oh my God, how many people must there be here!? These are all people who have entered and exited Tubo!?"

Qin Mu nodded, and pondered: "Now that the Tang Dynasty's commodity economy is booming, and this is the main official road connecting the Tang Dynasty with Tubo, there are naturally more people. Doesn't this prove that the second master is good at governing the country?"

"Hehehe..." Li Er stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I love what you say. I have put in a lot of hard work these years, the second master. Look, this is the fireworks in the world. It's down to earth!"

Cheng Yaojin echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, you see that this place is lively, and there is a market over there, it is really a good place."

"I really like this place so much, Second Master, let's stay here for a few more days and have a good time."

Followed by.

Cheng Yaojin turned his head to look at Qin Mu, "My son-in-law, don't worry about our errands, can we stay here for a few more days?"

"What happened in Lizhou City has almost cast a psychological shadow on me. Let's play here for a few days, so we can relax, right?"

Listening to Cheng Yaojin's words, Li Er, Xue Rengui and the others all looked at Qin Mu, their eyes full of expectation.

Since leaving Lizhou City, they drove all the way to Yacheng, not in the mood to play halfway.

It's hard to come here today, it feels very lively and interesting, and several people can't walk.

Qin Mu nodded, "Of course it's okay. We're really in a hurry these few days, and it's not too much of a rush. Since everyone wants to play here, it doesn't matter if we stay for a few more days."

"Anyway, the money we brought must be enough, just play to your heart's content, and there is a Mangya Trading Company in any city, if the money is not enough, I will go get it."

Hearing Qin Mu's words, Cheng Yaojin and the others were very excited.

Even Li Er has developed a strong interest in this place today.

It's just too lively here.

Qin Mu's voice just fell.

A little boy about fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in coarse cloth, walked towards Qin Mu and the others.

The little boy came to Qin Mu's side and asked, "Sirs, the villain's name is Li Zhen. Are you going to visit Tubo? Do you need to be accompanied by Jianer?"

Cheng Yaojin wondered: "What does our going to Tubo have to do with Jianer? Why do we need Jianer to accompany us?"

Li Zhen looked at Cheng Yaojin, and hurriedly replied: "My lord, you don't know that the road from Tang Dynasty to Tubo is not peaceful. There are bandits and bandits from time to time. Most of them are indigenous people in remote areas. Or Jiangyang Bandit."

"If there is no athlete on this road, it is still very dangerous. On this road, murders and robbery happen from time to time."

"You don't know, the wealthy sons who go to Tubo usually hire athletes here to ensure safety on the road."

Cheng Yaojin nodded, "Then I don't think you look like a martial artist, do you think you can protect the six of us?"

Li Zhen smiled, "The lord was joking, but the villain is an introducer. If you need, I can introduce you to the famous athlete over there."

"The athletes over there are all escorts from various famous escort bureaus in the Tang Dynasty. They are all highly skilled in martial arts and have a very good reputation. They also have branches in various cities in Tubo. If you come back, you can also go to other Tubo cities. The Ministry hired athletes to escort you back."

"Don't worry, the villain will never ask for money from you. If the villain successfully introduces you, those escorts will naturally give the villain some rewards."

Cheng Yaojin nodded, "Oh, that's what it meant, thank you little brother, we don't need athletes, we are all people with high martial arts skills."

On the official road leading to Tubo, there are more business travelers, so there are more thieves and bandits.

No matter how peaceful Tubo is, bandits and bandits are still being banned repeatedly.

In particular, the Tubo official roads are often tens or hundreds of miles away, and there is no one inhabited, either in the wilderness, or in the barren mountains, so it is very difficult to encircle and suppress these bandits.

Expedition athletes have become a popular occupation here.

Qin Mu took out a piece of broken silver from his bosom, and handed it to Li Zhen, "Thank you little man, we don't need it, but thank you for explaining it to us."

Li Zhen took the broken silver in Qin Mu's hand, and hurriedly saluted, "Thank you, my lord, for your reward. If a few lords want to play here for a few days, I can be your guide for free, my lord." People have been here for several years, and they still have some understanding of the Grand Canyon distribution center."

Li Er asked suspiciously: "Oh? You have been here for many years at such a young age?"

Li Zhen replied: "That's right, the villain is an orphan. He grew up in Yacheng since he was a child. Later, when Tang Dynasty recovered Tubo, the Grand Canyon became lively, and the villain made a living here."

"On weekdays, I earn some rewards for introducing athletes to and from travelers. When I have nothing to do, I practice martial arts and swords. I hope that in a few years, I can pass the assessment of the Escort Guards and become a real expedition athlete."

Li Er looked at Li Zhen, and liked it quite a lot, "Good! You really are a young, promising, self-improving Da Tang Erlang! I appreciate it!"

Li Er's voice just fell.

Yu Chigong took out an ingot of silver from his bosom and threw it into Li Chen's hands, "Here you are, this is a reward from the second master, take it."

Li Zhen held the silver ingot in his hand, full of excitement, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, my lords, thank you, my lords."

Li Er waved his hand, "You don't have to thank me, you can be our guide for a few days, and I will take care of the board and lodging."

It was the first time Li Zhen met such a proud guest, and he hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, my lord, the young ones must be taken care of by the adults."

Cheng Yaojin asked: "Do you have anything delicious and interesting here?"

Li Zhen replied: "There are all delicious and interesting things." Then he pointed to the west, "That camp is a snack camp. There are food from all over the Tang Dynasty and even all over the Western Regions, and the price is very cheap." Immediately afterwards, He pointed to a camp in the south again, "That side is mainly for entertainment. There are gladiatorial fights from Rome, horse racing, cockfighting, dog racing, acrobatics and other entertainment items."

Cheng Yaojin nodded, and then looked at Li Er who was beside him, "Second Lord, why don't we go eat something first, I'm hungry after I'm on the road."

Li Er replied: "No problem, then let's go eat something first."

Chapter 1344 Horse Racing (2/3)

Under the leadership of Li Zhen.

Li Er and the others went straight to the snack camp not far away.

However, it was not convenient for them to ride horses through the camp.

So Li Zhen first took Li Er and others to store the horse.

The various facilities in the distribution center are very sound, and there are horses and luggage storage.

Qin Mu and the others planned to live here, so they found an inn-like camp and stored their horses there.

Snack camp.

Qin Mu and Li Er walked among them.

There are all kinds of food around.

You can see food from all over the world in the Tang Dynasty, from the north to the south, as well as from the Western Regions, Persia, even Rome, Dashi and other countries.

There are cries of hawking one after another around, louder than louder, very lively.

Cheng Yaojin pointed to a stall not far away and said, "Your Majesty, let's go over there and eat the big skewers from the Western Regions. I think the big skewers from the Western Regions are pretty good. We've been eating too vegetarian these days, and our stomachs are running out of oil and water." .”

"No problem." Li Er waved his hand, "Today, the second master treats guests, and you open your mouth to eat."

Then a few people went straight to the big string stalls in the Western Regions.

Got to the booth.

Qin Mu and the others sat around the table, and Cheng Yaojin stretched out his hand and shouted: "Shopkeeper, first come a hundred big skewers for the bottom, and then some jugs of good wine."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Guest officer, our skewers are huge, and there are two taels of meat in one skewer. Can you eat a hundred skewers?"

Cheng Yaojin nodded, and said to himself: "Don't worry, we are not enough to eat just one hundred skewers! As long as you roast well, we can eat two hundred skewers, hurry up, we are already I'm so hungry."

"A few guest officers are ready, just wait a moment." The shopkeeper looked at a few big customers, and instantly regained his energy.

Cheng Yaojin looked at Li Zhen who was standing aside and said, "Young Master Li Zhen, you are sitting, what are you doing standing there?"

Li Zhen smiled embarrassingly, "Sirs, you can just sit down, and I can just stand here."

Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and pulled the stool over, "Hey, why are you being polite to us? Sit here, remember, this is the second master and that is the young master. There are two of them among the six of us. It's up to you."

"The second master and the young master are kind-hearted people, so you don't have to be afraid."

Li Er also nodded, "He's right, you just sit down and eat with us, we don't have those messy rules here."

Li Zhen thanked him again and again, and then sat down embarrassedly.

He didn't expect that these people not only spend money generously, but also have excellent personalities, and they don't have that kind of high air.

moment.

The shopkeeper came over with a large plate of skewers and wine, "Guests, please eat first. Here are thirty skewers. I'll roast the rest for you now."

Cheng Yaojin pressed his hand, "Okay, just put this here, and you can roast it quickly." Then, he picked up a few skewers and stuffed them into Li Zhen's hands, "here, eat it quickly, don't be embarrassed, if you If you don’t have enough to eat, how can you have the energy to play with us later?”

Xue Rengui said from the side: "Young Master Li Zhen, do you want to drink?"

Li Zhen held the skewers from Cheng Yaojinsai in his hand, and waved his hands again and again, "Returning to this adult, villains don't know how to drink, and villains can just eat some meat skewers."

Subsequently.

Qin Mu, Li Er and Cheng Yaojin began to eat and drink.

Wang Xuance tore at the meat skewers and kept nodding his head, "Rengui, his roast meat skewers are really good, but according to your skill, it's still not good enough."

In today's Datang, the commodity economy is developing rapidly.

The catering industry has also developed by leaps and bounds.

The things Qin Mu researched can be regarded as benefiting the common people, and they can basically be eaten everywhere.

Moreover, the things Qin Mu researched have been improved a lot to suit the eating habits of different regions.

Xue Rengui said arrogantly: "Of course, in Datang barbecue, the young master is the first, and I dare to say the second!"

Regarding the matter of barbecue, Xue Rengui really did his part.

Li Er picked up the wine cup, "Come, come, come out these days, only today is the most relaxing, let's do one."

When they came out, they were in a very good mood.

But what happened to the Zhang family in Liangzhou City made Li Er and the others depressed for several days.

At the end of the day, Zhang Rou was brought to the point where her family was ruined.

Cheng Yaojin directly picked up the jug, "Come, come, thank you, Second Master, for your hospitality today!"

Several people ate and drank, very happy.

After half an hour.

Qin Mu and the others were full of wine and food, and led by Li Zhen, they went to the southern camp.

Horse racing, dog racing, cockfighting and other events here are all gambling, but gambling here is legal.

Several places in Datang have been specially approved, and these projects are legal.

After all, for some people who lick blood on the knife edge, they need such a project to vent, otherwise the crime rate will be higher.

Led by Li Zhen, Qin Mu and the others shuttled through the Southland Casino.

There are bets all over the place.

Horse racing, cockfighting, live-action gladiators, all kinds of betting items are dazzling.

Yu Chigong said excitedly: "Second Lord, let's find a project and have fun. Ever since the Tang Dynasty banned gambling, it has suffocated me."

"We finally came to a legal place this time, and we haven't opened it up to play, and maybe we can earn a lot of money for us."

Li Er nodded, "No problem, I think that horse race is good, let's go over there and bet on the horse."

Then Qin Mu and Li Er went straight to the racetrack.

The racecourse is huge, and there are ten riders in the field. Next to the betting tent, there is a huge plaque, which shows the results of these ten horses in nearly fifty races.

The odds vary depending on the horse's winning percentage.

From one for one to one for three hundred.

Li Er looked at Qin Mu at the side and asked, "Master, do you understand? Pick us a horse."
