There was a flat platform outside the city. Du Zhongxiao said to Bai Huan: "Tanglong Town is both a free trade place and a guaranteed land. Your master repeatedly wants to have a place here, so I can't insist on not giving it to you. It's not possible in the city, so I'll set it up outside the city. Let's pay together to build some houses and huts here as a trade place outside the city, so that merchants can stay and make some money."

Bai Huan said: "There are all houses in the city, why should I build them outside the city?"

"The city is a military city, how can people from other countries buy houses and land? Even here, we have to operate it together and share the money according to the capital."

Bai Huan shook his head after hearing this: "I didn't say that, so I can't agree."

Du Zhongxiao smiled slightly: "That's up to you. Now that Mizu Valley has been planted, I have built it myself if I have free people around me."

The business in Tanglong Town has just begun. The Khitan did not know the scale, so he sent Bai Huan to see the news. Du Zhongxiao had no need to discuss it in detail. When the Khitan knew the scale of the business here, he would send someone who had the final say. In the past few days, the merchants sent by the Khitan officials tried hard to transport wine to Shengzhou, and other businesses had not yet started. However, the small tribes got the benefits and were much more interested.

At this moment, Zhe Jichang and Chen Qin each brought a few horses to him and greeted Du Zhongxiao.

Seeing that the horse was very majestic, Du Zhongxiao asked Chen Qin: "It is rare to have these good horses. Did you buy them today?"

Bai Huan, who was on the other hand, looked alert: "Zhijun, this dynasty prohibits horse trafficking in the south. Could it be that someone violated the ban?"

Zhe Jichang said: "With hundreds of miles around, good horses are raised everywhere, so why should we sell them from the northern country? These are horses that fallen around us. We happened to meet them, so we bought them naturally. If it weren't for the robbery of the northern country, there would be more horses."

In fact, Yelu Buhua and Yelu Yuanzuo both sold some horses to Tanglong Town in the name of Xiao Fanluo, and such things were not allowed to be known to people like Bai Huan. Many of the surrounding tyrants were not controlled by the Khitan, and the ban was useless to them. However, the little prince who bought horses in Chen Qin and Zhe Jichang were under the control of the Khitan, so everyone would not say it.

Bai Ze's identity is too low and he can't talk to him about cooperation with the Khitan, and it's not easy to neglect it. It was wasted a lot of time in Du Zhongxiao, and he was really annoyed. Seeing the horse brought by Chen Qin, Du Zhongxiao felt aroused and said to Bai Huan: "There is nothing to do, how about I bet on the host with the supervisor?"

Bai Huan was also angry and said casually: "How to bet?"

Du Zhongxiao pointed at the horse behind Chen Qin: "We each chose a good horse and let the knight ride it. We ran back and forth on this ground, and we won first. Not much, so we would bet ten cents of money and win tonight to welcome the little yanei."

Bai Huan said disdainfully: "Where did you get a good horse from your southern country? If you use my own horse, you will bet!"

Du Zhongxiao said: "I'm just a little gambling and join in the fun. The supervisor uses your own horse, I'll just choose one here."

After hearing this, Bai Huan became interested. There were hundreds of thousands of national horses in the Khitan alone, which was not comparable to those of the Song Dynasty. Rubbing his hands and saying to Du Zhongxiao, "Okay, then bet! It's just that ten stakes are too small. If you want to bet, bet a hundred stakes!"

Du Zhongxiao was stunned for a moment. One hundred guan is not a small amount of money. If he really lost, he felt pain even if he paid for it. After looking at Chen Qin, Chen Qin nodded slightly, showing that he was very sure. Du Zhongxiao nodded no longer hesitated and said to Bai Huan: "Okay, that's one hundred guan. If you win, please ask Xiao Yanei!"

Bai Huan felt a sigh of anger. In the past two days, he was in Tanglong Town, with the huge reputation of Yelu Yuanzuo, but no one flattered him, and lived a very frustrated life. He rubbed his hands repeatedly and asked his followers to bring his horse.

Du Zhongxiao said to Chen Qin: "Please choose any horse, let Xiao Yanei ride it, and have some fun with Superintendent Bai."

Chen Qinyingnuo picked one from the horse he bought and said in half: "This horse is a bit spiritual and will cherish its own strength. The yamen gets on the horse, and it's just urges it to run. It doesn't matter if it's a little behind at the beginning, remember to avoid being stricken and restless."

Zhe Jichang was unsure and said to Chen Qin in a low voice: "That Khitan businessman must have a good horse. If he loses, we won't look good."

Chen Qin patted the horse's mouth and told Zhe Jichang to rest assured. People have their own specialties, and raising livestock is Chen Qin's specialties. After working in Yongcheng County for a few years, he has been very familiar with the temperament of horses. Especially when he takes care of the ranch, he has to choose stallions, with accurate vision and full of confidence.

Bai Huan held his horse and chose a quick-witted person from his entourage. He repeatedly told him to win the horses of the Song Dynasty, otherwise he would be more beautiful than him when he came back. If he lost a hundred coins, Bai Huan's trip to Tanglong Town would be in vain.

There were people over there nervously preparing, some were careful to feed the horses, and some went to the other side of the platform to set up signs.

Du Zhongxiao held his hands and looked at the platform, thinking about future plans in his mind, and turned a deaf ear to horse racing. It was not that he didn't care about a hundred jin of money, but that he knew nothing about horse racing, and it was useless to see it. Before, Du Zhongxiao did not race with Bai Huan on a whim, but actually wanted to build a racecourse here, so the address was chosen here.

This is the special zone of the Song Dynasty, and some things in the special zone have to be moved here. In name, this is a vassal state, and the Song Dynasty law is not adopted, but the foreign law is practiced. In fact, there are no laws on the foreign law, but there are only some conventional rules. If something happens, everyone will discuss and make a decision. The nominal leader here has no power to come to Zhongping, just a puppet. It is not Du Zhongxiao’s final decision yet.

For the court and the government, the core issue of Tanglong Town in addition to making money is to collect as much as possible for the huge profits generated by prosperous commerce, and to cultivate core industries that are connected with nomadic grasslands.

The trade between horses and sheep, even fur trade, is not enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility of cultivating the grassland industry. It is originally a nomadic product, a traditional industry, and the degree of commercialization is not high. In Du Zhongxiao's plan, the wool industry is responsible for this burden. It is difficult to recruit skilled wool workers. Everything has just begun, and the volcanic army is in full swing. This is a strategic industry and it is impossible to share it with the Khitan. Tanglong Town can only make a wool transit station, and it has not started now.

In addition to financial means, the most immediate effect of sharing profits from business is the entertainment industry. This large platform is the entertainment city chosen by Du Zhongxiao, and the core is the gambling industry. Horses, dice, copper coins, and various gambling methods must be opened here to build a gambling city. It is far away from the Central Plains, and there is no need to be afraid of poisoning the people.

With casinos as the center, industries such as food and hotels will also develop, and the tourism industry may be developed in the future.

This kind of gray industry is something that Du Zhongxiao wants to enjoy profits with the Khitans. This kind of money is not easy to make, let alone the money earned by Fanluo and the Khitans. Without them participating and cooperating, it would be difficult to do things. Many things that the Song Dynasty did not allow were Khitans. Their laws were originally rough and the Fanhans were divided and ruled by countless places.
