Poor family mother and son

There are "morning markets" and "night markets" in Daxuan, especially in the more prosperous Dazhou Prefecture, so Xiaobao's food street can be opened wherever you can go.

However, the "ghost market" Xiaobao mentioned is different from "morning market" and "night market".

Guishizi is a market where lighting trading begins at five o'clock every night and ends before dawn. The main products traded include everything from furniture and utensils to daily necessities. They are as expensive as rare treasures and rare as antique calligraphy and paintings.

Because during the opening hours of the market, "they come together in the middle of the night and disperse when the cock crows", it is the time when ghosts and ghosts appear in the legend, and the black lights and blind lights only rely on candlelight for illumination, and the figures are vague and whisper and dare not speak loudly, making them even more ghostly. The taste is strong, so it is called "ghost market".

Of course, this is only the obvious reason, and there is also a hidden reason: the goods may not come from the right way.

For example, stolen goods from thieves, grave-digging sacrifices, government-controlled products that are not allowed to be sold privately, etc., as well as second-hand goods that are not worth putting in pawnshops, and defective products that cannot be sold during the day and dare not be sold. , Fake goods or something.

Therefore, the ghost market is also equivalent to a black market.

Xiaobao asked people to buy gunpowder for firecrackers from the ghost market, also known as Feihuo noodles, which is a controlled product that the government does not allow private sales.

Such inflammable and explosive dangerous goods must have documents issued by the government before they can be produced and sold, which is equivalent to the "operating license" in Chuqing's world.

People can buy finished firecrackers, but if they want to buy raw materials, they must have a guarantee from the village head or village chief, and then get the approval of the local county government.

Xiaobao put this matter on the bright side, and the boat gang will not question it. Besides, the people in the boat gang have also done bad things. In their view, tinkering with an iron-clad firecracker is like sharpening a knife before killing a chicken. You have to be prepared.

Little Treasure was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with Chu Qing, so he divided the people into two groups, and the other way went around the Jiehe River to meet Sauter, and he probably would be back soon.

Chu Qing and Xiao Bao got together, so they couldn’t come here in vain. If they said they would collect furs, they would really collect them. At the same time, they spread the news that they could go to Bao Qingsheng’s warehouse to buy "food substitutes", and said that the fourth prince came from her. Order a lot.

Chu Qing also asked the locals about the location of the jade mine and the river beach provided by the fourth prince, and everyone knew about the three-year use right promised by the fourth prince.

The fourth prince's reputation has dropped a lot.

Now all the tribes in Voss know about the kidnapping of Chu Qing's caravan by the fourth prince, and now they see Chu Qing's caravan appearing in various places. Doesn't that mean that the fourth prince has lost and paid a lot of money to others? ?

Slap in the face and beat pia pia.

When the fourth prince was returning home with the iron fragments that disillusioned him under the eyes of a group of people condemning him, he heard the rumor that he had paid the jade mine to Chu Qing for three years as compensation along the way.

Those who run faster than Cao Cao are rumors.

Chu Qing was secretly satisfied with this trip to Voss. Not only did he bring back the caravan boys safely, he also got Roan back, and he also found a market for his surplus chicken and duck meat, and even made a lot of money. Tell the rumor of the fourth prince.

Thinking of Luo An, Chu Qing looked out of the tent—Luo An was lighting a fire with the boys in the caravan and preparing to cook. This kid is quite smart.

Zhuo Yao said that after Luo An found him, Xiangzi found an opportunity to contact him and confirm his identity with him. Xiangzi felt annoyed and muttered: "Just because of you, you trapped us brothers, even the master .”

Luo An didn't say anything at that time, he secretly observed the carriage that was clear, and climbed up when he found a chance, and only Xiangzi saw it.

Naturally, Xiangzi was wary of him, so he rushed into the carriage and beat him up. The brothers followed naturally when they saw it, but the carriage was so small that no one could get in. Luo An asked Xiangzi to punch him twice, and then he said in a low voice, "Here Get something as information, let Lord Chu take me away, and tell the brothers to hit me hard, beat me up and vent my anger."

That is to say, Luo An thought of a way for Chu Qing to contact him, detain him, and give the brothers a chance to vent their anger. He used a "bitter trick" and looked at the effect. He had become one with the brothers.

Chu Qing didn't understand his plan at first, and didn't think about cooperating until seeing Xiangzi call the useless lines into a defense plan.

Seniors are seniors, these two knives are not enough for me!

Xiao Bao also looked at Luo An: "Is that the second brother of the third fat daughter-in-law?"

Chu Qing praised: "The relationship is quite clear!"

Xiaobao: "Let's throw him here."

Chu Qing: "Huh?"

Xiao Bao: "Annoying!"

Chu Qing: "I have an idea—you beat San Fatty's son later!"

Xiaobao: "..."

Chu Qing suppressed a smile: "Mother's debt is paid by the son, he should."

Xiaobao: "Mother, you've learned badly!"

If he could not return to Luo'an, the fourth prince was in a hurry to return to the king's city. Naturally, he had no chance to make another move, and he still wanted to get supplies from Chu Qing, so he couldn't do anything to Chu Qing.

He didn't dare either, the rumors that Chu Qing had made for him were already very bad for him, if he did a little more, there might be no result.

Therefore, after Chu Qing and his group bought the fur with confidence, they returned safely to Daxuan.

With Chu Qing's return, the exchange market reopened.

In fact, whether the mutual market is opened or not will not have a great impact on Daxuan's businessmen, because they all have warehouses nearby, and they don't sell their goods to Voss people.

The people of Voss are different. They have more urgent needs for living materials, and the goods they use for trading usually have a short shelf life, such as processed livestock products, fur tanning, bad tanning will stink, dairy products, meat Products, etc. are more limited by temperature and humidity, and they will deteriorate if they say they are deteriorated.

In the exchange market, those who were sent by the chiefs of various ministries of Voss to supervise and manage their own subordinates and commodities were "invited to drink tea" by Bai Hua's board of directors, not to mention that no one conveyed their appeals for the Voss people.

Who knows who is in a hurry.

So when Chuqing came back, not only the people related to Chuqing were happy, but the people of Voss were even more happy.

Bai Hua did catch some spies from Voss, among them were Voss from Voss, and some from East Lun from Voss.

Correspondingly, the radish was pulled out to bring out the mud, and some old Donglun people who were bought by Voss were also turned out.

The spies mentioned by the common people are divided into four types in "Da Xuan Lv":
One is to provide military conquest information to hostile forces at home and abroad;

The second is to provide other countries' secrets to hostile forces;

The third is that foreigners enter the territory of Daxuan privately or send letters to Chinese people to spy on information;

The fourth is to receive letters from foreign spies or shelter and hide foreign spies.

According to the provisions of "Interrogation of Spies" in the "Daxuan Law": "Where there are domestic spies who have passed through the borders and the interior, but there are domestic spies who have penetrated the news to outsiders, and foreign spies have entered the country to inquire about things, they must be interrogated by officials. Ask those who have caused conspiracy, and if they get the truth, they will all be executed."

For a while, there was a buzzing, and there were countless people.

And these spies no matter who their "conspirator" is, the people only hear about the same person-the fourth prince of the country of Voss, Kailidi.

Chu Qing scratched her chin and thought badly: The fourth prince must have no good fruit when he returns to his father's place, not to mention causing a lot of bad rumors, but what do you want to do by sending so many secret works to publicize?

At the end of the day, he gave the fourth prince another big pot.
