Yehe Town is not big, with only a few thousand ordinary townsmen. The earthen wall less than two feet long surrounded the small Yehe Town in an irregular state. Every day on the first day of the day, Yehe Town will run a gathering, and some travelers will drive carriages and carry goods, gathering from all directions into Yehe Town.

Villagers near Yehe Town will also come to the market. They sell cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, or some leather, dried meat, oil and other things to those merchants, and then buy pots, pans, coarse cloth, linen and other daily necessities from merchants. Of course, the most important thing is salt.

As for some spices, muslins, silks, velvets and other luxury goods, only a very small number of people living here can afford it. Even rouge and pollen, the necessities of women in other wealthy places, the girls here will also regard it as extremely high-end things.

The monthly market is the most lively time in Yehe Town. Usually, the number of people exceeds 10,000, which crowds the originally small Yehe Town into a bustling bustling.

This day was the first time that Lei Qing had started a market after he was stationed in Yehe Town. Since last night, merchants have come one after another and paid a certain amount of gold coins to the town as transaction tax, and then they can start setting up stalls in the market. The more tax they pay, the more they can occupy a favorable position.

The stall fee collected from the market is also a major source of wealth in Yehe Town. Each time you can collect about 100 gold coins and taxes. In a year, there are about 1,300 gold coins.

Of course, those who can travel thousands of miles to Yehe Town to go to the business of business are mostly those miserable small caravans. Large merchants such as the Li Chamber of Commerce do not look down on such erratic and poor places.

You can't collect too much tax. If those merchants can't make money or think it's not worth it, they won't come next time.

He managed a part of the land and learned a lot. After only half a month of ​​again, Lei Qing felt that he had lost weight. This was much more tired than practice and other things. But it also helped him learn a lot. He broadened his horizons and broadened his thinking.

What's more, Lei Qing has never relaxed his cultivation. After all, strength is the foundation for his true survival. Although the silver level can already be regarded as a well-known master, it is absolutely inevitable that he really wants to become a dominant figure in the area.

Since he was chased and escaped, Lei Qing has attached great importance to his strength. He no longer knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day long like he did when he was young.

Yehe Town is the first time that Lei Qing truly dominated. Here, he is the heaven, and anyone must obey his orders. Including the mayor of Yehe Town, he is just his deputy, helping him handle government affairs.

Power brought him respect and change in status, and also brought him a lot of responsibility. Within the scope of Yehe Town, the fate of 30,000 to 40,000 people of all ages is completely in the hands of Lei Qing.

Instead of riding a horse, he led Zuo Qianqian to the market surrounded by several personal guards. Whenever Lei Qing stepped on this piece of land, he felt a little touched and understood.

On this land, he is the king and the master. Gradually, he seemed to feel a feeling of taking root. The yellow and unfamiliar land made him slowly familiar with it and gradually integrated into his bones. Although it is very poor, dirty and messy, he has only been here for only half a month and began to feel some blood connected with it. Walking on his own land, he feels particularly comfortable and peaceful inside.

This is different from his being in the Emperor. He seems to be living under someone else’s roof. No matter how prosperous or wealthy the imperial capital is, it is not his. As the saying goes, a golden nest is not as good as a dog nest for his own.

"General Lei, Lord Lei."

As we walked along the way, those who knew Lei Qing would hurry to stop and greet him respectfully to show our respect and respect for Lei Qing. There were herders, farmers, and merchants who set up stalls to sell things.

This year, the weather is good, and the people under my command have achieved good harvests. With rich food, they think about coming to the market to exchange for daily necessities. Or they are ruthless and pulling a few feet of flower cloth to sew a new piece of clothing for their daughter, adding some rouge and pollen to dress up their daughter beautifully, so that they can find a good family.

Some poor and ordinary people have simple wishes, peace and happiness for their children.

Lei Qing also greeted them with a smile and walked slowly along the way. Many people respect Lei Qing from the bottom of their hearts. When Lord Lei first arrived, he defeated a large horse thief and saved the entire Ula Village.

This made Lei Qing's reputation spread throughout Yehe Town. What the villagers wanted was a simple wife. A general who could fight war would receive a welcome to guard the town.

Lei Qing looked at the traded goods, which were very primitive, mostly pots, pans, hoes, sickles, etc. Many herdsmen drove cattle and sheep to the market to negotiate with those businesses. Although they sometimes competed to make their faces turn red and their necks thick, they were generally stable.

The monthly gathering will bring certain benefits to Yehe Town, but it is also the most chaotic time. Some wandering small horse thieves will invade the area of ​​Yehe Town to see if they can rob farmers and merchants.

Lei Qing has taken some precautions in this regard and stopped training today. The captains of each team formed a cavalry patrol team and began to patrol and reconnaissance along the border. There were also patrol teams constantly coming and going. Many ordinary people were also smart and followed the patrol team in groups, which was the safest.

The regular army in Yehe Town is still quite intimidating to the small group of horse thieves.

In addition, there are public security issues. Every month, there will be some thieves, forced buying and selling, or fighting in a disagreement.

Therefore, Lei Qing followed the usual rules and left 100 people to temporarily form a security team to maintain the public security team in the market. After only one hour of the market opening, the security team caught several thieves and stopped several fights. This time, the security team was particularly serious because this was the first time Lei Qing started the event after he took office. They didn't want any mistakes in this game opening, which would damage Lei Qing's reputation.

"Qianqian, you, a girl, wears leather armor all day long, and it's not a big deal to make yourself dirty." Lei Qing walked to a luxury silk stall and said with a smile: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Why don't I buy you two rolls of beautiful silk and let the tailor in the town make you a few summer skirts?"

After saying that, the two have been together for only more than half a year. This little girl has grown a lot, and they all hit Lei Qing's shoulders. I am afraid that in another one or two years, they will become a beautiful girl.

"General Lei, if you want to buy silk, I will give you a 20% discount." The merchant hurriedly smiled and flattered, saying, "This lady Qianqian is so cute, she must look great in a pleated silk skirt." Silk is a luxury here, and only a small number of people can afford it.

"No, Captain Zhou said, we should be scouts, and we must wear it with a simple and close body, so that it will not affect the speed of movement." Zuo Qianqian shook her head and said, "What's more, I think this black leather armor is pretty. It was specially made by Baby Sister for someone from the Tieling Branch to make it for me. It is light and soft, silent, and has good protection."

"You." Lei Qing smiled and shaved her nose: "You have been learning scouting skills from Zhou Han recently, and you are almost crazy. If you don't care about your fatigue, I will send you to Wanjiabao immediately. If you don't want your skirt, I'll buy you some rouge and pollen? We'll dress up better."

"I don't want to go to Wanjiabao, and I don't know anyone." Zuo Qianqian shook her head quickly, took Lei Qing's arm, and giggled: "Brother Lei, are you tired of seeing the five big and thick women here recently, wanting a smooth and pink baby sister? I don't want rouge and powder. As a qualified scout, how can you fill yourself with smell? This is so easy to expose yourself."

Lei Qing glared at her speechlessly.

"Brother Lei, Brother Zhou said that they borrowed them to help with training. It is impossible to stay in our Yehe Town for a long time." Zuo Qianqian said with a slightly serious expression: "So, I want to learn more while he is still there. So, we Yehe Town cannot even find a decent scout. Brother Lei, you are marching and fighting, scouts are very important."

"Okay, okay, I know you're thinking about me." Lei Qing felt pity for her again, touched her head and said, "Then you have to pay attention to the combination of work and rest? That's it, what do you want, I'll buy it for you."

"I heard from Mr. Hao that we have developed Yehe Town, and there are too many places to use money." Zuo Qianqian shook her head and refused, "Brother Lei, don't spend money too much. What I want most now is to cultivate to the bronze level as soon as possible, and strive to become a scout as powerful as Brother Zhou Han. Also, I miss Baby Sister."

"Uh, otherwise I'll go to the headquarters of the Li Chamber of Commerce and help you tie her up?" Lei Qing smiled and said, "You girls' relationship is too strange. You miss her not long ago?"

"Hmph, Qianqian is not as heartless as Brother Lei."

...

Almost at the same time, in the distant Li family mansion in Zhongzhou, a woman wearing a goose yellow dress with a beautiful appearance and a gentle temperament as a lady from a family, leaning against the carved railings, staring at the flowers blooming in the yard. Between her eyebrows, melancholy and depressed.

Another mature and steady male in gorgeous clothes with a stubborn beard came, walking and frowned, as if he had encountered something troubled.

When I walked behind the woman in the goose yellow dress, I showed a kind and flattering smile on my face: "Baby, my good daughter, my heart. You have been here for a while now, why are you still depressed? Otherwise, tell my dad, what do you want? Dad will get it for you immediately."
