"That's it, I don't need to tell you when I leave, I hope to return as soon as possible, and I will personally pour wine for the rich manager Bucai in the Feiyu Hall!"

Hong Tao has no habit of reluctance, and he is even more reluctant to do goodbye. For him, it is far more difficult to pay for affection than to pay for wealth, power, and prestige, which is also nature, no problem.

Fu Ji is also a cheerful person, took the secret letter written by the concubine and the silver collar worth 500 yuan and left the concubine mansion, and went straight to the Longwei camp in the Nanxun Gate.

This is the garrison of the forbidden army, what is she doing at the garrison of the forbidden army, is it possible to say that Hong Tao's suspicions are correct, Fu Ji really has an intersection with the forbidden army? She really wronged Fu Ji, and her only purpose in coming to the Dragon Guard Camp was to hire an entourage.

The name of the dart game can often be seen in martial arts novels, and many times the dart game is also a gathering place for martial arts masters. For example, the Legend of the Condor Heroes and the Condor Heroes have appeared in the Longmen Dart Bureau, which is located in Lin'an City in the Southern Song Dynasty.

It can be said responsibly that there was no dart game in the Song Dynasty, and there was not even a similar dart game. In this regard, the Water Margin is written a little rigorously, and there is no mention of the dart game and the dart master, let alone the scene of the Liangshan hero robbing the dart team.

Then someone has to ask, don't the people of the Song Dynasty go far away?

In fact, the Song people were very fond of traveling, especially the literati, and they went around looking for inspiration when they had nothing to do. Moreover, officials in the Song Dynasty changed their positions very frequently, and they had to go through the state to pass through the state when they took office and left office, so what should they do when they go out and encounter danger?

The first is to go together, and the big guys go together, and the possibility of being robbed is reduced. Don't forget, the literati of the Song Dynasty could also go on horses to command wars, and their nutrition could keep up, not necessarily weaker than those who robbed the road.

Some people say that the Song Dynasty forbade people to keep weapons, and those who robbed the road would hold knives, and the travelers naturally did not carry knives with them.

The Song Dynasty forbade private possession of weapons, but not all weapons, but private individuals were not allowed to possess crossbows, armor, spears, banners, banners, and banners. According to the provisions of the "Song Criminal System": bows, arrows, knives, stalks, short spears, the above five things, private listening.

There is a bow and arrow shop next to Sun Yangzheng's shop in the Qingming Shanghe map, where there are craftsmen making bows and arrows, and customers are trying to shoot bows and arrows.

If the Song Dynasty banned all weapons, how could this shop exist? It can't be said that it is a workshop specially opened in the bustling city to make equipment for the forbidden army.

There are also many places in the Water Margin that indicate that the Song Dynasty could go out with weapons, but it was not allowed to carry crossbows, armor, or long weapons. Most of the time, a whistle stick is standard, and if you pay attention to it, you can use a knife.

What is Pu Dao, this thing is very interesting, it should be regarded as a concrete embodiment of the policies and countermeasures of the people in the Song Dynasty.

Didn't the government prohibit private possession of long weapons, and the common people simply split the long-handled knife into two parts, the head and the hilt. Usually I use the handle of the knife as a stick or the head of the knife as a single knife, but when I go to the wilderness, I combine the head of the knife with the handle of the knife, and it becomes a long knife again.

In addition to traveling in groups, wealthy families can also go with their entourage. The meaning is the same, that is, the number of people is overwhelming, which increases the cost of crime and reduces the chance of being robbed.

Finally, there is a way to travel by boat, which was also a major means of travel in ancient times when land transportation was not very convenient. Slow is a little slow, and you have to take a detour, but you can't stand it safe and comfortable.

If Fu Ji goes directly to Lanzhou, it will also be Lanzhou in later generations, go up the Weishui River, get off the boat and walk north for another hundred and ten miles. But she had to go to Yan'an Mansion to find Shen Kuo first, and then it would be too detour to take the waterway.

Fortunately, there are official roads from Kaifeng to the west to Jingzhaofu, from Jingzhaofu to Yanzhou in the north, and then from Jingzhaofu to Lanzhou in the west, and post stations are set up every 60 to 80 miles along the way.

However, even if there is an official road, it is still very unsafe for a woman to run such a long distance alone, and it is even more unsafe for her to carry a silver collar worth hundreds of yuan, so she has to find a few companions who accompany her.

It's not too safe to go to the city gate to meet a few merchants on the same road, Fu Ji is not too relieved, she has not been far away when she was a female official, but she has never been to such a far, such a remote place. In her experience, it's best to be a companion who knows the basics and has some bit of force.

This requirement is a bit difficult, would it be so coincidental to meet such a companion? Obviously unlikely, but Fu Ji has a way to make the impossible possible, she can find it in the Dragon Guard Camp where she is going, or the forbidden army acquaintances in the Dragon Guard Camp can help find this kind of person.

has been a female official for more than ten years, even if she doesn't like to socialize anymore, she can know a few forbidden army generals in the palace, and Fu Ji came to hire someone from them. She didn't want a soldier of the forbidden army, and she didn't have that qualification, she wanted these acquaintances to help introduce a few veterans of the forbidden army, preferably veterans who had fought and seen blood.

Compared with ordinary warriors, these veterans who retired from the forbidden army due to injuries or special reasons are more combative, more familiar with the customs and customs of the border passes, and safer. After all, their families are all in Kaifeng, and if something goes wrong, the monk can't run the temple.

Since they were acquaintances and had wine and meat to eat, Fuhime's request was easily granted. After the acquaintances of the Longwei camp were full of wine and food, they patted their chests and said that they would not have to wait for a few days, and three qualified veterans would go to the Flying Eagle Club tomorrow to report. If it's not enough, open your mouth, don't dare to say more, and it's a matter of minutes to get ten or eight.

In recent years, there have been no major battles at the border gates, and there have been constant small frictions, and there are sometimes disabled soldiers in the forbidden army who are unwilling to go to the box army to live a good life, so they choose to go home for reunion. Some people can find a suitable livelihood, but others are not happy.

Fu Ji offered a high price of 30 yuan per person, which is equal to the salary of ordinary laborers for more than half a year, and the food, drink, housing and transportation along the way are free, and there is no need to take too many risks, just need to send people to Lanzhou safely, and then come back three months later, this money is equivalent to a dry down, very moving errand.

I found someone and Fu Ji couldn't be idle, so I had to find transportation. After all, she is also a female official, and now she is a big manager, and she said that she can be a more powerful chairman in the near future.

Although I don't really understand what rank the manager and chairman are, but how to say that they are also nobles, and they can't say that they go out in a sedan car, so they have to get an SUV, so they have to buy horses.

There are more than ten horses in the Horse Mansion, and the horses will not be stingy, in fact, Hong Tao did want to prepare horses and living utensils for Fu Ji, but Fu Ji refused.

The reason is very simple, the horses in the Horse Mansion are all royal horses in the palace, and there are marks on their buttocks. You don't need to introduce the identity of this thing at the border, the other party will know it at a glance.

Not only did you have to buy horses for people to ride, but you also had to buy donkeys to carry scriptures and daily necessities. On the south side of the alum building, there is the largest horse market in Kaifeng City, which specializes in selling civilian horses and donkeys.

The price of horses is relatively expensive, and the quality is very poor, private people can buy and sell are 4 feet 3 inches tall, eight years old and old old, weak, sick and disabled, the asking price has to start at 20 yuan, from time to time to catch up with one or two younger, stronger goods, do not ask the price if there is no forty or fifty yuan in hand.

Donkeys are much cheaper, about 10 for the medium, and of course there are also high-class prices similar to horses. This is because donkeys are hard-working and not picky eaters to feed, and ordinary people would rather buy donkeys than horses of the same price. This is like the family car in later generations, although the off-road vehicle looks tall and powerful, it is really fuel-efficient, and the cost of later use is high, which is not suitable for family use.

Fu Ji finally picked a 4-foot-4" 8-year-old mare, and played with her life to reach 42 strokes. The total of three good donkeys is only 35 yuan, plus 6 yuan more tax, and the small 100 yuan is gone. It can be seen that in ancient times, if you want to be a little more comfortable, the cost is still very high.

And what, and the donkeys that carry the goods have not been bought? Isn't there three donkeys, they're just carrying goods. As for the 3 followers, they still want to ride donkeys? Dream, people are not so squeamish at this time, and the poor are walking wherever they go.

For the retired forbidden army, walking is the norm, even if it is a cavalry, when not fighting, they cannot ride a military horse for a long distance. Horses are very delicate animals, and they are not good at serving.
