In addition to the Iron Staff Temple, there is also the Maigong Temple. The grain merchants and giants from all provinces and counties in the Central Plains have built guild halls here. They are not small in origin, with people in the court and dogs in the martial arts world, and they are not ordinary families.

For example, the main ones from Hedong are the Beidu Shang Gang. Because of the Taihang Mountains, the guild hall built next to the Maigong Temple is called the "Shanxi guild hall". The rotating guild owners are basically from Taiyuan and can speak with the two princes of Wei and Jin. In addition, the friendship between Wang Gui and Wen Yanbo is not worthy of being in the capital.

The merchant gangs in Hebei are quite complex, with all kinds of them, and even the Mengwu Shiwei and the Khitan Dahe clan formed a group. And they can't be underestimated. Behind the Mengwu Shiwei is the Anbei Protectorate Mansion, while the Khitan Dahe clan has the backing of the Langya Princess' Mansion.

The site of Mengwu Shiwei in Zhongmu County is called the "Mongolian Guild Hall". The main wholesale of rice is millet and wheat, and rice is not touched, and Anbei Protectorate does not allow it.

In addition to these large guild halls, some small and medium guild halls are also gathered here. Most of the grain merchants composed of aristocratic tyrants from all over the country can communicate with each other. The reason is that the imperial court consumes a huge amount of grain in recent years. In order to kill the Fuyu seeds in the north for two or three years, it takes an average of 10,000 shi of gross grain per day to digest the Korean Taoism.

Moreover, this is the market for the emperor in Liaodong. Emperor Zhenguan wanted to fool him in terms of food and grass, but it was quite difficult. In addition, the old account books were eliminated one after another. With the emergence of line-pack books and new accounting methods, the technology needed for greed is getting higher and higher. If you want to be a corrupt official, you will not be able to study.

Because the emperor was staring at me, the amount of money to fill his stomach in a year was 400,000 yuan. This did not count the consumption of meat, vegetables and livestock. You should know that Emperor Li had 90,000 military horses in Liaodong, and more than 100,000 large animals of all kinds among the people.

Even though there were only a few thousand military horses put into use each time, in order to completely kill the Fuyu seeds, the emperor then built a turret in the old forest, so many livestock were necessary.

The consumption of livestock is much more than that of people, and it is different from that of people. If people are forced to eat some wild vegetables and salted fish, they can also satisfy their hunger. But the war horses are made of coarse grains and essence. If necessary, an egg will be added to the mouth of salt. The complete process in a year is enough to feed dozens of light infantrymen.

The light infantry was at least killed and pulled down, and the war horse was sore all over.

When traveling in a large army, it usually protects animals but not people. People are not valuable, and the valuable animals are valuable.

In the past two years, Emperor Li "visited Liaodong", destroyed various ministries in Fuyu all the way, and successfully controlled Yalu River and governed the Korean Road. If it only relied on official power, it would be difficult. If the people were rich in manpower, material resources and financial resources, they still had to use their own. Isn't this a psychopath?

Chairman Li said that this is not what the business is done, and the court does not need to pay for it...

Individuals are individuals, companies are companies, and Li Dong is very clear about the division.

It is no problem to fatten a coupon of grain traders in two or three years, but the Ministry of War and Civil Affairs lived a bit disgusting life.

"Wang Donghai actually wants so much summer food? Could it be that a big one will come this summer and autumn?"

"I heard that the king's army has landed in Fusang. The capital was not announced to the world earlier, saying that it was the conferred title of the "Queen of Evil Horse-Tai"?"

"Is this considered Wei Wu's old wisdom?"

"The Japanese territory is not as scattered as the Central Plains. All countries and states act independently. Since this "Evil Matai Queen" was enthroned by His Majesty, it is very different."

He used the emperor to command the princes. Although the "Evil Matai Queen" was not the "Son of Heaven", the way was this. The Tang Dynasty was powerful and Emperor Zhenguan was the common ruler of all directions, and the "destiny" was here.

The words follow the law. Whoever Emperor Li named him the king is orthodox, and there is no objection.

Even if someone wants to rebel, in the face of this situation, the few are willing to bite the bullet and face the challenge.

"But now that the emperor has returned to the capital and is not in Liaodong, it is probably not easy to buy this Ministry of War."

"And we can't get along with the Korean Road marching chief, Niu Gongfei is so easy to get along with."

"The north will have to rest and rectify the river embankment this year. With the relaxation of the road, I am afraid the court will not have much money."

"You guys estimate the taxes in the court?"

"It must be worth fifty or sixty million yuan."

"Five or sixty million? Hey, when did that happen? It's already gone."

"It's over 100 million? When did it happen?"

"It's hard to say, don't inquire. If you really talk nonsense, those evil dogs in the capital will definitely cure you. What kind of tricks are you doing? Then the yellow mud will fall off your crotch, either shit or shit."

There is a shop near Maigong Temple that specializes in offering sacrifices. People who travel to the merchants are not afraid of eating and drinking here. However, if they worship Maigong and ask for his blessing, they will also bring a pig.

"Hey hey... let the legs let the legs, everyone, the pork ribs roasted with sauce, braised pork belly, use it slowly!"

The young man from the hall clamped the tray, put the rag on his shoulder, turned around and greeted the new diners.

"Oh, the customer looked at the noodles. When we came back, we wanted to eat and drink something? There was wine in the store, the newly arrived Kuaiji old wine, and there were several jars of Hanyang 'dare to kill the dragon'."

"Give a few signs and ask for a jar of 'dare to kill the dragon'. First, add two stacks of beans, five-spice, and salty and fragrant ones, and cut half a pound of beef with sauce and braised beef."

"Stop being there, I'll call the kitchen!"

After the new customer sat down, he saw a guest in the hall looking here. After a while, he asked, "Brother, come over to the south? Looks like Mr. Xiao's companion? Have we met him in Xuzhou?"

"Um?"

Before the new customer's stool was hot, he suddenly heard someone say hello to him. He looked back and recalled it, and immediately slapped his high and said, "Oh, it's your brother. We have indeed seen him at Gong Gong's Mansion. I even drank a few drinks with my brother and a few friends."

"It's really my brother, come on, come on, let's go together!"

"It's better to obey your orders than to be respectful!"

He sat down readily, and then he asked a few of them here, "This time I came to Zhongmu, just like last time in Xuzhou, was for food. The summer grain has not been collected this year, so the price has increased."

"What? Mr. Xiao also wants to collect grain?"

"Um."

Nodded, but didn't want to reveal his foundation, but he was all old and there was nothing he didn't know about.

"Brother, bring a wine cup."

After shouting, another runner heard this, he took the wine glass, which was made of porcelain, and the blue-green body flowers were burned on it. It was not an ordinary person to stay.

"I have any news, I hope I will give you advice... To be honest, we have been worried these days, and I don't know what the situation of summer grain is. The major policies of the court are not as good as before, and it is not easy to inquire about the news now. Come on, let's respect first."

Pour a glass of people, fill it up, and then drink it all in one go.

"Brothers are joking. I'm just an errand runner. Thanks to Mr. Xiao's second son, he just walks around and does some hard work."

After a cup of the few present, Mr. Xiao’s companion was still very strict.

Seeing this, the few who had come early had already become energetic. Others didn't know that the moment of Xiao Erjun was different from other places. He had a pair of women under his knees. He was known to be beautiful and beautiful. He was almost selected to serve the emperor in the palace, but now they all live in Wuhan.

"Brother, my friend in the world, I have no slightest meaning, and I don't respect you."

"Hey hey, what does brother mean..."

"It's not what it means, it's just a little bit."
