I walked past another place, but here was the shop front. There was a smiling friend standing in front of the door. After seeing Qin Xiucai from afar, I immediately came over to say hello enthusiastically and with greetings, and then went back to work hard. When Zhu Da passed by here, he looked inward a few times. With the sunset light, he could see that there were large and small packages, as well as plants and trees.

At the beginning, Zhu Da was very surprised. He thought about why the store had no signs and wondered what it was bought and sold inside. He couldn't figure it out after reading it. But after smelling the smell from the store, he knew that the smell of medicinal materials was very strong, and the taste of Chinese medicine has not changed much from ancient times to the present.

"...Mongols believe in witch doctors. Life and death are the most important thing when they get sick and injured. But they also know that medicine in the Han area is easy to use, let alone veterinary medicine for cattle and horses. The government prohibits the sale of medicinal materials to Mongolia. However, this is not important like weapons. As long as the relationship is related, the business is not difficult to do. As long as you can live up to your face, don't put signs or guises. This is also the rule of the border..."

Hearing this made Zhu Da a little eye-opener. Even Zhou Qingyun was fascinated by the hearing. The three guards could hear it when they approached, but they had no intention of interest. It was obvious that these were common sense.

".........There are more people doing business here, and the village is also prosperous. But in the final analysis, it is unstable. Not to mention the caravans that come and go from north to south, half merchants and half bandits, they have to use swords and guns whenever they have disagreements. It is even more common to set up traps of making money. Needless to say, the bandits around them come here from time to time to make a fortune. The government is also very polite, so there are many people, but they can't prosper..."

Qin Xiucai stopped, looked at the neat street in front of him, and continued: "It may not be possible to say how good the geographical location is. If it were really a key road, the thoroughfare would have been a county town or a prefecture city, and there were many places similar to Zheng Jiaji. Or they would have been too cruel to harm the caravan and no one would have come again, or they would have been wiped out by bandits and soldiers and were destroyed and destroyed. The Zheng Jiaji could reach this point thanks to the Zheng Baihu who was seventy years ago, and the grandfather of Zheng Zheng, the current old Zheng, inspector Zheng."

Yesterday, after practicing martial arts, he returned to the house. He listened to Qin Xiucai and Xu San Ge outside the house, and mentioned "Lao Zheng". The words meant that "Lao Zheng" was a big shot in the Zheng family, but he didn't expect that when talking about the commentary, Zhu Da immediately became concerned.

Before coming here, the Zheng Baihu was just an inconspicuous military officer who stood in the wrong side of the guard. The commander above him was in trouble. The good territory under Zheng Baihu was naturally given up to the newly gained power. At that time, Zheng Jiaji was still an unknown village. It had just been washed by bandits and was ruined and was the lowest place to go, so it was thrown directly to Zheng Baihu.

Although the village was repeatedly murdered by bandits, the villagers could not say that they were pitiful and innocent, so there was no need to say that they were cheating merchants. The villagers themselves colluded with the bandits around them, and it was difficult to manage them. Several hundred households confiscated money and grain here, and even lost their lives.

Zheng Baihu brought his family here. There was a different place in the Zheng family and other families in the ward office, that is, brothers are in love, and other families will have to separate their families when they become adults, otherwise it will affect the hereditary industry. The Zheng family has been together for three brothers. Zheng Baihu, who is the elder brother, takes care of the two brothers without hesitation. At that time, Zheng Baihu looked 45 or 6 years old, his eldest daughter married, his two sons were already adults, and the three sons of the two younger brothers were also adults. In other words, there were eight male men in the Zheng family, and the son-in-law's family was also Wu's family, and he could also help.

In the early years, the military preparations of the Ming Dynasty's ward were not so sloppy. A hundred families often had experience on the battlefield, and had more martial arts practiced, and there were no shortage of weapons. The Zheng family itself had three horses.

Eight to ten young and strong men who are good at martial arts have weapons and equipment, and are united. This force is not small, and it is even more amazing in rural villages. Moreover, the status of the Zheng family is still there, and the official rank is also a helper.

After this force arrived at the broken village, it immediately gained a foothold. The villagers' resistance was not worth mentioning. During this period, there were also bandits and horse thieves who came to fight. However, the male members of the Zheng family were able to drive their bows and ride horses and swing their swords and guns. The bandits and thieves were really no match for them. They suffered heavy losses twice and dared not come.

The ground stabilized, the population that was wandering outside returned, and the past merchants stayed, and the nameless village gradually recovered.

There were many merchants coming, and the villagers who depended on the Zheng family had bad intentions and suggested that Zheng Baihu attack the merchants. After being rejected, the villagers couldn't help but do it themselves.

Zheng Baihu and the Zheng family have seen the world and know how to raise fish with water. They immediately punished the villagers for killing chickens and retrieving eggs. They even paid for the losses out of their own pockets, and achieved 100% of their face and inner self-confidence.

This story slowly spread. More and more merchants were willing to stay in this village in the past. The merchants in the garage office were worried that they were not familiar with the south. The merchants from the south were worried that they were unsafe to go north, so they traded in this village. The Zheng family opened an inn and restaurant shop, and then took out their capital to do some transfer business of low-buying and high-buying, and slowly started.

The so-called "hair growth" is just a lot of life, and it is not as rich and comfortable as it is. After all, the Zheng family is a family member, and the martial artists spend a lot of money on bows and horses and guns. That's the case in this village's small business.

However, in the autumn when Zheng Baihu was fifty-one, two caravans came to this village to stay. According to the current rules, they paid several times the price of food and accommodation costs several times higher than the market price. The same rules were the same. Zheng Baihu was responsible for the safety of the caravan's people and goods within the scope. In various places in Datong Border Town, this kind of thing was common and could not be more ordinary.

If it is not in the core areas of the garrison and prefectures, the transmission of big and small things will become slow, and no one will even remember to send them messages. The disaster broke out suddenly. On the morning of the next day when the caravan stayed, the nameless village was surrounded by more than 200 horse thieves.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia fought endlessly, and the border was full of beacons. But at this time, when traffickers arrived in Datong, or if you had the ability to sell them on the grassland, they could make a lot of money and make a fortune. Correspondingly, bandits were rampant in the border towns, and even Mongols participated, focusing on the adventure caravans. It is said that the border generals were behind the scenes, and even the shadow of the Daiwang Mansion appeared and disappeared.

It is no longer a new thing for horse thieves to sweep away villages and towns, but it is rare to come to Wuming Village, because it has penetrated into the hinterland. I don’t know if the horse thieves want to penetrate into the hinterland or have already set their sights on passing caravans and want to attack them unpreparedly.

With the Zheng family as the backbone, the villagers quickly organized it. Although the village was not formed, the house was also a regulation to prevent thieves and thefts, so there was no problem with resisting based on your own.

Horse thieves pay attention to coming and going like the wind. They rely on the mount to fight in plains and field, and they have a huge impact advantage. They are not good at attacking any siege fortifications. At the beginning, the horse thief directly raised conditions with the Zheng family and handed over the caravan, so there would be no trouble in the village.

Regardless of humanity or morality, it is common for the Zheng family to hand over the caravan. After all, he wanted to save his family and villagers. The leaders of the two caravans were scared out of their courage. They brought more than ten guards in total. Including the caravan's own young and strong man, there was a dozens of people. But these people were still able to be guarded by the house, but there was only a dead end when they went out. The caravan and the Zheng family told them that if they could protect them, they would divide half of the goods as a reward. They did not have the ability to be strong. You should know that although the Zheng family had few men, it would be easy to start and kill all the caravans.

According to Zheng Baihu and the two caravans, Zheng Baihu refused the reward at that time, saying that the Zheng family had to do things if they received your money. Of course, they were also a little gossiped about that after the Zheng family and the caravans defeated the horse thieves, the Zheng family suffered heavy casualties and could only seek face and reputation, and even if they wanted to get the profit, they would not get it.

The horse thieves were determined to win commercial goods, and they also felt that they had more than 200 people, and it was not a big problem to take down this broken village. After two trial attacks, more than a dozen people were killed and the wall had not crossed. By this time, the horse thieves were also angry.

The fight lasted for a day until the Zheng family's son-in-law came over with the rescuers. Zheng Baihu died in the battle, four males died in the Zheng family, nine young and strong caravans died, six villagers died, and more than 30 horse thieves died, and it was difficult to attack and defend, so it was normal to fight this situation.

No matter how much the two caravans planned, the Zheng family saved their wealth and paid the price of their lives. A hundred households died in battle was worth some money, and they had to thank them in any aspect.

After this battle, the Zheng family suffered heavy losses, and the villagers also felt resentment. The village, which had just stood firm for a few years, was unstable again.

The Zheng family mourned, but they had no choice but to handle the funeral first. They never thought that before the first seventh, the number of caravans that arrived in the village to stop trading increased sharply. Some caravans were not on the way, and they would rather go around and stay here for trade.

In addition to the caravan, there are many people who come to join, including people with family and people riding horses and knives, who are all willing to serve the Zheng family and want to ask for a meal in this village.

After that battle, the newly destroyed village suddenly flourished. In the final analysis, the Zheng family made a reputation in the battle. In this messy Datong area, a flag was erected. The border town area where bandits and bandits were rampant and the people were not distinguished. With such a place of peace, merchants and people gathered naturally, hoping that someone could protect their safety.

The scene here is getting bigger and bigger, but the Zheng family is worried. The faction that Wei Suo had gained power took advantage of the faction that Zheng Baihu died in battle and actually seized the position of this Baihu. The whole Zheng family became Yu Ding's identity.

"...... People's fortunes cannot be stopped. The Zheng family is like this. The identity of hundreds of households was taken away. Seeing that this land was about to fly away, but this..."

Qin Xiucai was happy to speak, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were fascinated by the hearing. They had already walked to the center of Zheng Family Museum. There were several large mansions here, which looked quite grand. In addition to the grand courtyard, there were also places to have fun, which was very lively. The sun was about to set, and lanterns were already hanging in front of the store.
