The regional customs of the Western Regions, the most common story, is usually Hu Er's disagreement, angrily drawing a knife, and the folk customs are fierce! Blood spattered five steps, all just waiting for idle things.

But it's not something terrible. During the Han Dynasty, the folk customs were martial and rangers were prevalent. So what? There is also the rule of prosperity. The same is a lot of outstanding people! Didn't Guan Erye just kill people and run away from his hometown?

The key is that the government must have authority and be able to maintain local order. An orderly society is always better than chaos!

However, is this possible in the Western Regions?

The Hu people are large in number and respond to every call. In the event of daily conflicts, most of the officials in the Western Regions of the Great Zhou Dynasty would choose to settle the matter, and it was usually the small people who were suppressed. In this atmosphere, you can imagine Hu Yan's arrogance!

Tuyuhun could gather more than 10,000 cavalry in Dunhuang. On the same day, Deputy General Miao summoned 20,000 cavalry to assist in the defense, of which Tuyuhun had the most cavalry.

Therefore, Gu Li, a Hu merchant from Tuyuhun and the richest merchant in Dunhuang City, went to Guo's mansion to ask the Guo family to compensate him and his peers for the loss of hoarding Juqi, which seems very arrogant and outrageous, but for Gu Li, blackmailing the Guo family is just a trivial matter. An act of anger.

The Guo family supported Jia Huan and sabotaged his money-making plan. He was dissatisfied. The price he negotiated with the Hu merchants that day: 50 silver dollars a sheep. 300 silver dollars a head of cattle. Several times more than the normal market price.

Of course, it's all the more to do with the fact that he's recently gotten some extra support. Even if Vice General Miao told him not to conflict with Jia Huan. There is also the bulk of subsequent military procurement. However, he still wants to take a breath of grievances first!

Guo Lun was in his sixties, frowning slightly, stabilizing the emotions in his heart, and said softly and firmly: "Guli, you can't say that." On that day, you and I 16 families bid together in Guiyuan Building. Your offer is too high, resulting in a loss now, how can you blame the old man? ”

Gu Li sneered: "Patriarch Guo, everyone says that the Han people are treacherous. Sure enough. On that day, we and other grain merchants agreed to advance and retreat together. How do you quote a low price on your own? You breached the contract first, shouldn't you Guo bear such a big loss from us? ”

Guo Lun was speechless.

Guli's words seem to make sense. In fact, it's just messing around! Previously, the grain merchants in Dunhuang did agree to advance and retreat together. However, this is only a rough verbal appointment, and it is only a consultative and ventilatory nature. It's not a blood alliance.

With such a verbal agreement and intention, does the Guo family have to accompany Hu Shang to fight against the court of the Great Zhou? Is a road black to the end?

Senator Jia offered suitable conditions, and of course the Guo family took a chance. What does this have to do with breaking the agreement? If Hu Shang wins the bid, how much profit will he share? I want to get it with my ass. He will accuse Hu Shang of breach of contract at that time?

Guo Lun's third son, Guo Guan, was young and vigorous, patted the handrail, and said angrily: "Guli, you come to our Guo family, we will entertain us with good wine and tea." You're here to find fault, aren't you? To do business, each by its own means. Who is to blame for your deliberate desire to earn more silver dollars for military rations? ”

If we sell things at a high price, we can't sell them, so we blame us for selling things low? Is there such a truth in the world?

Gu Li was scolded, not angry but laughing, his small eyes squinted, staring at Guo Guan, with a gloomy expression, "I'm here to find fault, what can you do?" Let me send a word, don't think about your Guo family's tea and horse trade. ”

The Tuyuhun people are good at raising horses. There are famous products such as: dragon species, Qinghai skull. In the areas of Dunhuang, Guazhou and Hami, the excellent horses are basically in the hands of the Tuyuhun people.

Guo Guan stiffened his neck and was not convinced.

Gu Li said sarcastically: "I know that your Guo family has future military procurement, and you have nothing to fear." But, Old Man Guo, don't you want the horse team that your Guo family went to the west of the Green Ridge? ”

After the Song and Yuan dynasties, the Silk Road declined. The rise of maritime trade. It was not until the fourteenth year of Yongzhi that the scholar He Shuo ordered the reopening of the Silk Road. Dunhuang has only flourished here again. Guo Lun's second brother led his clansmen and horse teams to the west of the Green Ridge for trade all year round.

This is a naked-naked-naked threat to human life!

The faces of the three Guo brothers suddenly changed greatly. Guo Guan gritted his teeth tightly, the green tendons on his neck were exposed, and he forcibly allowed himself to swallow it in one breath.

Guo Lun was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that someone would dare to kill his younger brother and clansmen in his home and in front of him. This kind of humiliation is unbearable for him at his age. Anger is growing in my heart!

But...

He knew that the threat of Guli was real. The Tuyuhun people have clansmen around Dunhuang, and now in the chaotic situation in the Western Regions, the Tuyuhun people intercepted and killed the Guo family's horse team near Dunhuang and threw corpses into the desert, who has evidence?

In particular, the deputy general Miao who stayed behind relied on the Tuyuhun cavalry. Who did he seek revenge? Senator Jia, worthy of Deputy General Miao, who has a heavy army?

After half a ring, Guo Lun said slowly: "How do you want me to compensate?" ”

"Haha." Gu Li laughed proudly, like a meat ball shaking, "You Han people have a saying, I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?" "Stretch out the chubby, short index finger and middle finger," 200,000 silver dollars. ”

Guo's eldest son gasped, "This..." All the losses earned by the Guo family are not enough.

Gu Lizhi shook his fingers proudly and said, "Don't worry. I'm not done yet. I have heard for a long time that your little lady is the first beauty in Dunhuang City, and I want her to be my twelfth concubine. ”

Guo Guan didn't hold back his breath, and rushed out, "You deceive people too much!" ”

Gu Li glanced at Guo Guan indifferently, walked down from the chair, walked out of the hall, and said without looking back: "You Guo family can try the consequences of offending me!" "If the Guo family doesn't know each other, when the Baye Gu coalition army enters Dunhuang, he will kill the Guo family.

After Gu Li left, Guo Guan said angrily: "Father..."

Guo's eldest son also said: "Father, E-Niang, she..."

Guo Lun leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh, "Alas..."

Perhaps, this business was done wrong! Gu Li did not allow others to challenge his commercial position in Dunhuang City.

…

…

In the south of Dunhuang City, the Dang River meanders. Thousands of miles along the coast. Willows spread along the banks of the river. In autumn, the scenery is beautiful.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Jia Huan and Pang Ze, under the protection of Huang Guan, rode out of Dunhuang City with a group of more than 20 horses. Go to the Guo Mansion in Licheng Sanli for a banquet. At the speed of a horse, this distance can be reached in no time.

Because of the purchase of 70,000 stone of grain from the Guo family, Jia Huan and Guo Lun became very familiar. He sent someone to post yesterday and come to eat and drink tonight.

In addition to discussing the increase in the procurement of military supplies due to the current war, he also had to ask one additional question: did Guli have any lawlessness in Dunhuang?

Jia Huan came to Guo Lun's mansion. The servants of the Guo family greeted and reported. After a while, Guo Lun came out with his three sons, walked to the bottom of the steps, and bowed his hand, "Welcome Lord Jia to come." Please. ”

Jia Huan saw that Guo's father and son had a worried look on their faces, so he didn't ask, and said politely: "It's bothering Guo Yuan." Please. ”

Greetings all the way in. Go to the lobby and sit down. Pour tea narrative. The dinner will have to wait a little longer. Zhong Ming Ding food, this is the style of the wealthy family. The Guo family's financial resources can't do it.

As seen in the lobby, the carved beams and paintings are beautifully furnished.

Jia Huan took the initiative to ask: "Guo Yuanwai seems to have a problem. If so, can you tell me about it? As a quartermaster, I have to ensure the stability of the supply of materials to the army. ”

Jia Huan's attitude made the four Guo father and son have a good impression in their hearts. When Guo Lun was still groaning, Guo Guan said aggrievedly: "Lord Jia, Guli was still here just now, and he asked us for 200,000 silver dollars, just because the Guo family sold you grain." ”
