Chapter 640

"Why don't we enter the customs? What laws have we committed? We've been on this road for decades..."

"Why should we check our goods and not let us bring wool into the customs..."

"One kilogram of good wool and ten copper plates are less than one tenth of the price of bianji in Yingwei county. You're robbing..."

"Huai'en order, we are given preferential treatment by huai'en order. How can we do this? We're going to sue you in the imperial capital..."

The leaders of more than ten Shatu caravans gathered at the gate of Baishi pass, shouting, spitting and looking excited. Behind the leaders of these caravans were the caravans of Shatu people waiting to enter the pass. The rhinoceros, horses, camels and ox carts of those caravans were filled with bags of wool collected by these caravans. The long caravans were lined outside the pass, stretching seven or eight hundred meters, It's been a morning since the sun came out in the morning and it's near noon. With the rise of the sun overhead, these Shatu people trapped outside the pass are becoming more and more difficult

A restless and restless breath is flowing in the caravan!

In the distance, the towering Baishi pass was closed, and the sergeants guarding the pass stood at the pass and the wall as usual, looking coldly below. Only those careful people in the Shatu caravan found that there seemed to be a lot of archers among the sergeants at the juncture. Today, the atmosphere of Baishi pass is slightly different from that in the past.

Today is September 1. Early in the morning, when Baishi pass was opened and closed, these Shatu people's caravans wanted to pass the pass as usual, but today's Baishi pass is different from the past. Just outside the pass, a notice printed with the seal of governor Qi Yun's residence has been posted. The content of the notice is summed up in one sentence - from today on, Qiyun county implements the wool monopoly policy. All wool that wants to enter the customs from Gulang grassland is purchased by the Monopoly Bureau of Qiyun county at a unified price here. Any Shatu caravan is not allowed to sell wool into the customs without permission.

For those Shatu caravans, this monopoly policy is like a bolt from the blue. Before, the Shatu people on Gulang grassland sold their wool happily. Even now, the black Capricorn people are fighting with them, which has not affected their enthusiasm in selling wool.

In the eyes of those Shatu merchants, all this is thanks to the Han people's invention of the textile technology of wool cloth. Without this technology, the sheep they raise on the grassland are almost useless except for eating. It is this technology that makes their sheep double their value and become a fragrant pastry on the grassland. The wool is inexhaustible, The mattress will grow again. The wool everywhere on the grassland can be exchanged for a lot of real gold and silver in the pass. Where can we find such a good business in the world. The Han people invented the method of turning wool into wool cloth, but the Shatu people will not thank the Han people for it. In their eyes, this is just another good opportunity for them to let the Han businessmen humble themselves in front of them and let them take whatever they want. As long as they have sheep hair on their hands, they are not afraid of the Han people not bowing their heads.

It's just a short time. When these Shatu people thought they could exchange countless gold and silver from the Han people with wool wrapped in sheep dung mixed with sand, the notice of governor Qi Yun's residence posted at baishiguan today knocked all Shatu caravans out. At first, many Shatu people couldn't understand the Chinese characters on the notice, I don't understand what monopoly is, and when the person who understands it explains, all the caravans are fried.

"The content of the notice has been clearly written. The big seal of the governor's office is used on it. It has been sent down. It's useless for anyone to say!" Xiao Yuman, who joined the army in baishiguan, took out his ears, with a warm smile on his face, looked at the excited Shatu caravan leaders with an indifferent expression, "you can continue to shout here until next year. If you want to go to the imperial capital to complain to the prime minister and the Emperor, please, oh, by the way, forget to tell you, Now, what has the final say of the white stone pass is the Qun Yun Du's mansion, and what you should know is that you can know and do not know, and you can inquire about it, even if the Prime Minister of the court is not able to make it here.

"This general, our caravan has been doing business inside and outside the pass for decades. We always abide by the law and regulations when entering and leaving the pass. We never do anything beyond it. I don't know why we are so harsh on us today. We don't talk about our feelings at all?" A Shatu caravan leader with a wrinkled face and wearing royal clothes crowded in front of the crowd and shouted to Xiao Yuman.

Xiao Yuman narrowed his eyes and glanced at the tiger's mouth on the right hand of the leader of the Shatu caravan who said he abided by the law and regulations. For those who held the knife for too long, the cocoon seal of the tiger's mouth was different from that of ordinary people. The thumb and the tiger's mouth of the right hand of the archer would also leave corresponding marks. The leader of the Shatu caravan seemed to notice something, His hand shrank into his sleeve and quietly avoided Xiao Yuman's eyes.

"Don't you know what you Shatu seven have done?" Xiao Yuman didn't see the abnormal cocoon print of Hukou, the leader of the Shatu caravan, but his face remained unchanged. "If your people hadn't attacked the Han people who attacked Fengbian stronghold and killed so many of us, the supervisor wouldn't issue such a policy in anger..."

"Those who attacked the wind frontier stronghold are the people from the Tuli department under the hyena department. It has nothing to do with us. We are from the desert Department..."

"Yes, yes, yes, it was done by people from the hyena department, which has nothing to do with us..." several caravan leaders shouted at once“ Why doesn't it matter? " Xiao Yuman pointed to the circle of Shatu people around him, "don't you always share honor with us? In the past, you always spoke with the same voice to us. If you don't move, it's how we Shatu seven, how we Shatu seven. Now if something happens, you're not from the hyena department. Where you say you come from, I don't know whether it's true or not, Even if you come from the hyena department, you won't write the word hyena Department on your forehead, will you! Moreover, on that day, Tuli Department attacked Fengbian stronghold, killed and set fire to it. It is said that Tuli was jealous that Fengbian stronghold could also do wool business and wanted to seize all this business. That's why the supervisor was furious and issued this sheep wool monopoly order after knowing the situation. If you don't get angry, go to Tuli to reason, In the future, this Baishi pass will be the rule! " Reason with Tully? The Tuli department was destroyed by you. Tuli's heads were cut off and hung on the Baishi pass. How can we find Tuli to reason? The leader of a dry sand Tuli caravan raised his head and looked at the disgusting rotten heads in the wooden cage next to the door. They couldn't speak a word half a month ago, The destruction of the Tuli Department has spread all over Gulang grassland, which has brought great shock to all Shatu people. When the head of the Tuli department was hung on baishiguan, some Shatu people in and out of baishiguan dare not look up again in the past half a month... "If you are so overbearing and want to engage in any monopoly, I won't sell the wool in my caravan!" A Shatu man shouted at Xiao Yuman“ It's up to you whether you sell it or not. Our supervisor has always convinced people with reason, did not force you to sell it, and won't rob your things. Otherwise, you'll become bandits. If you don't sell it, you can pull the wool back for your own use, ha ha... "“ At this price, I'd rather burn a fire here than sell it! "“ If you want to burn, please help yourself. However, it is strictly forbidden to burn sundries within 30 miles of Baishi pass, so as not to trigger the beacon alarm of the border pass. Therefore, if you want to burn, you have to burn it 30 miles away. Otherwise, the military law is ruthless. Don't blame me for not reminding in advance! " Xiao Yuman's tone remained unchanged and still smiled. "By the way, I'll remind you that in the wool Monopoly Office over there, only the first one to go every day, with good wool quality, can have the treatment of ten copper plates and one kilogram. The second one to go to the third one, even if the wool quality is the same, the price should be lower. When I say this, please help yourself if you want!" With these words, Xiao Yuman turned and walked away, ignoring the Shatu caravan shouting here. The leaders of those Shatu caravans looked at the expressionless soldiers guarding the pass. There were only two ways in front of them. Either, ten copper plates and a kilo of wool they transported were sold here at a low price, or the wool remained in their hands, This novel has been translated by www.novelhall.com and if you are reading this somewhere, they have stolen our translation
