In the desert, there is a flying inn in the sky.
Wang changed his name and said in surprise, "Shopkeeper Zhao, you are going to Liangzhou to purchase."
Zhao Chuanxin inserted the revolver into the holster, hung it on both sides of his legs, and took it off the wall The Miao Dao on the top said, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Wang changed his name and said with joy, "Liangzhou is not peaceful, to be honest, I just encountered people who rushed into the county town to resist food and donations. When they saw injustice on the road, they drew their swords to help. , and was injured when he was surrounded by soldiers in the northeastern siege."
Obviously he was bragging about his deeds.
"Oh." Zhao Chuanxin was dressed and ready to go. "Be more careful next time."
""Although I heard that Zhao Chuanxin was very skilled, Wang changed his name. Still not convinced, "Shopkeeper Zhao, there is a camp in the north of Liangzhou City. They practice constantly every day. The instructor is a Belgian who has been trained by the German orthodox army. They practice live ammunition twice a month. Don't underestimate them."
Zhao Chuanxin chuckled, "Everyone was shooting, but you got a knife wound. Did they use knives to shoot?"
"There were at least ten people with fast guns here. I was lucky at that time. , I just met someone who didn't have a gun." Wang changed his name and asked slyly, "Could it be that shopkeeper Zhao wants to buy Gansu Huang?"
Zhao Chuanxin was already about to open the door, and frowned when he heard this. "What is Gansu yellow? It sounds like shit."
"Gansu yellow is the tobacco produced in Qinzhou, and the world is flocking to it."
Zhao Chuanxin's face changed slightly.
Zhao Chuanxin has never cared about fast guns and artillery.
What he fears most is opium.
"Are there many opium smokers in Suzhou and Liangzhou?"
"I don't know."
Liangzhou is actually very prosperous, more prosperous than Suzhou , second only to Lanzhou.
Using the post route normally, the flight from Liangzhou to Liangzhou is about 350 kilometers.
But Zhao Chuanxin took a long detour, traveling parallel to the post road through the desert, to Zhenfan County, and then straight south to Liangzhou, a distance of about 400 kilometers.
The desert is vast and the ethereal traveler can reach speeds of nearly 500 kilometers per hour. He has to bend down to break the wind, wear a smooth leather flight jacket, cover his head and face, and wear diving goggles. .
Zhao Chuanxin experienced the feeling of a fighter pilot in the era without a windshield.
The basic skeleton structure of Liangzhou City is simple. Two straight streets connect four city gates, dividing the city into four equal urban areas.
At the intersection of the two streets, there are four wooden door arches.
There are densely packed houses on both sides of the street.
There are suburbs in the south and north of the city.
There are less than 6,000 households in the city, but there are nearly a thousand shops.
Zhao Chuanxin walked on the street and felt that compared to Lanzhou City, it was both desolate and prosperous.
Why is this?
It’s just because the streets in the city look like an old man’s face, which has been soaked in snow and then dried and hardened into wrinkles. It’s as hard as a rock, even the wood of the carriage. Even if the wheel runs over it, it won't be able to shake it at all.
In this kind of environment, it is impossible for people’s clothes to be clean.
What Zhao Chuanxin saw was that even the rich were covered in dust.
The same goes for his own robes.
Street shops sell a wide variety of products, including plasters, glues, vegetables, gourd seeds, flax, fabrics, silk, flax, and indigo dyes
This is a goods distribution center just like Lanzhou. .
For example, silk brocade from Sichuan and Sichuan, saddle tarpaulin from Hotan, raisins and cotton from Turpan, matches, cigarettes and cleaning products imported from Japan, condiments from Xi'an and porcelain from Tianjin Wei
Zhao Chuanxin's eyes lit up and he felt that this was much more convenient than Lanzhou City.
As far as shopping is concerned, it is more reasonable and concentrated here.
But when I touched my pocket and wiped it, the money was not enough.
Ask Li Guangzong to ask New York for funds for Nikola Tesla that have not yet arrived.
The three melons and two dates that kept the inn were not enough to support Zhao Chuanxin's lavish spending.
He really wanted to buy it for zero yuan, but he heard Wang changed his name and said that the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the northwest region were too serious. Zhao was relieved that the burden would be placed on the shoulders of the local people in the end.
I was already poor, and under the heavy burden, many people would probably die.
He bought some cigarettes, which cannot be broken. As for cigars, he hasn’t smoked them for a long time.
Silk, brocade, etc., good to look at but useless.
It’s cotton, he wants to add a few more quilts.
He bought some grains such as millet, wheat, highland barley, and peas and put them into a pocket technology.
Liangzhou also produces paper locally, one is called horse dung paper and the other is called Mao silk paper.
Nowadays, rough guys like Guo Tuwa are used to wiping their butts with toilet paper, so paper has become a necessity.
Zhao Chuanxin bought thatch silk paper, and he was worried that the horse dung paper was really made of horse dung.
Then I don’t have much money in my pocket, and I still have to buy food.
Standing on the street, Zhao Chuanxin looked up to the sky and sighed, "It's so bad, a penny can't help a hero."
But he heard someone behind him say, "Taoist Master, I can help you more." ”
Zhao Chuanxin turned around in surprise, “Who are you and why are you so kind? Then lend me a thousand dollars first.”
There was a foreigner standing behind him, who looked familiar.
Morrisun said happily, "It's me, Morrison. Taoist priest, we met in Lanzhou City."
"Oh, it's you" Zhao Chuanxin Pronounce "I forgot."
""
The big city and the small city are not the key to chance encounters. The key is that there are only two streets in Liangzhou City, and what's more, Morrison has been looking for Zhao Chuanxin recently. He inquires carefully about every place he visits and stays for a few days.
He is a qualified explorer. With 40 pounds sent by his mother, he walked from Shanghai to Yangon. Two years later, he walked from Bangkok to Kunming, and the following year he traveled across three provinces outside the customs
Curiosity is one of his driving forcesOne, that’s why I was obsessed with seeing Zhao Chuanxin again.
He didn't ask about Zhao Chuanxin, but he heard about a place name from others, which was called Arixi in Mongolian.
It is rumored that it is an oasis in the desert, where there are vast pastures and delicious food. Once there, people's diseases will be cured without treatment
That which people swear by Tell him that his baby has been to Arixi.
If Zhao Chuanxin could not be found again, Morrison would be ready to go find the magical Rixi.
Morrison recalled that Zhao Chuanxin lamented that he had no money, and he had an idea: "Taoist priest, if you accept my interview, I will pay you the corresponding fees."
" Oh." Zhao Chuanxin's eyes lit up slightly. "How much money."
Morrisun held out five fingers.
Zhao Chuanxin was shocked, "I'll give you fifty thousand pounds. Come on, let's find a place to chat."
"" Morrison emphasized, "It's five yuan, a big ocean." , not pounds."
Zhao Chuanxin sighed, "Hey, Morrison, if everyone in the world is as stingy as you, then civilization will not progress, science and technology will not develop, and human life will not progress. The level will not improve, and the world's material realm will go back a hundred and fifty years. When global warming, world war, ice and snow in the Arctic and Antarctic melt, and people's hearts become sinister, you, the stingy one, will be the culprit of these disasters."
""Morrison"I can add to six dollars."
"Oh, Morrison, my friend, I remember you, you are a generous gentleman, and the northwest welcomes you. ."
""
Morrisun stayed for a moment and suddenly said, "I don't have much money. Six yuan is the limit. If the Taoist priest is short of money, I know there is." A Finnish explorer, Mahanda, has also arrived in Liangzhou City. Maybe he is also willing to contribute money to help the Taoist master tide over the difficulties. "
Foreigners are like this, Ding is Dingmao is Mao, borrow one yuan for the cost. The maximum is six yuan, no more than one point will be given.
Zhao Chuanxin was really short of money. He thought for a while, if he spent another five yuan, he could buy a lot of snacks for eleven yuan, and he could open a snack shop in the sky to trick those who paid for it. Shit boy barters and works, then mission accomplished for the day.
He said happily, "Let's interview as we walk, and look for Mahanda as the sponsor." Please remember to bookmark it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
