Xiye City.

This is a small town to the west of East and Chen. Because it is close to the border of Qing Kingdom, some caravans occasionally pass by, which is quite prosperous.

However, it was winter when the mountains were covered with heavy snow, and the entire city seemed empty.

At the gate of the city, the soldiers guarding the city were lazily breathing, and their eyes were not stopped to glance at the room next to them, thinking about going to bake a brazier when changing shifts.

"How could someone come in such a cold day..."

"But there are always a few businesses every day, and at least they can charge some money and buy some dog meat and old wine... Look, isn't this coming?"

A soldier looked into the distance and laughed.

Sure enough, under the gloomy and cold sky, a figure slowly emerged and came to the city gate.

"The entry fee is a copper coin, and the big copper coins of Dongchen and Qingguo are all available!"

The reason for saying this is that there are some privately cast bad coins on the market, mixed with lead and other impurities. According to the market price, two or even four or five can usually be used as a good copper coin.

When the man approached, the soldiers couldn't help but look in a flash.

The visitor was a handsome boy with an extraordinary temperament. Seeing that he was dressed up, he was not an ordinary farmer, so he couldn't help but feel even more respectful.

"This is a copper coin, please hold it!"

Duan Yu paid the money honestly into the city, and he felt relieved.

Generally speaking, when you get here, you can basically confirm that you are safe.

No matter how unwilling Chen Ce was, he would never lead his troops to invade the borders of East Chen. It would be no different to start a war! With Cui Shan's new position at this time and urgently needed stability, it was basically impossible.

The laws of Qing State cannot control Dongchen. If they only commit some minor crimes, they can live in Dongchen's name. As long as they don't dance too happily, it is unlikely to attract attention.

Of course, there must be a Qingguo intelligence agency within Dongchen. If it is a target that is particularly concerned by the king, there may be assassination.

To be truly safe, you still have to go to the four barbarians.

The transportation there is inconvenient, and even if there is any big news, Qingguo may not be able to react immediately.

For ordinary people in this era, going out requires a way to guide them, and perhaps they have never left the county in their lifetime.

Therefore, one country is basically like a natural barrier. If several countries are separated, it will be no different from two worlds.

Duan Yu walked swaggeringly on the streets of Dongchen. Before coming to a courtyard, he knocked on the door according to the agreed secret code.

"Who is it?"

A vigilant voice came from the door.

"I!"

Duan Yu smiled slightly, and when he heard his voice, the door opened and Qin Feiyu's surprised face appeared: "Brother!"

"Brother has arrived?"

In the yard, a red figure came out to greet him in surprise, and it was Ye Zhiyu.

Guo Bairen, Xiao Jingfeng, and Yu Jingbai stood in the courtyard. Seeing the reunion of these three brothers and sisters, they also had a smile on their lips.

"The leader is here?"

In addition, more than a dozen people gathered in the front yard also rushed over and fell to the ground: "I have met the leader of the gang!"

"Jiang Bao, Yang Cai, Cheng Jin..."

Duan Yu named the place one by one.

These are the old men in the Koi Gang. This time they are actually willing to join their families, and they are absolutely hardcore.

"Since you came to Dongchen with me, I will never treat you badly in the future! I'll bother your family to move in the middle of winter. Each family will pay an additional 100 taels of settlement fee. In addition, Bai Ren, prepare to hold a banquet!"

Duan Yu ordered with a smile.

"Please rest assured, lord, since Qingguo moved a few households, I have bought a few pigs..." Guo Bairen bowed slightly and said.

"good!"

Duan Yu took Qin Feiyu, Ye Zhiyu and his party entered the hall and held a banquet in a busy manner.

Soon, large pots of pork and vegetables were served on the table. Although they were rough, they were very solid and fragrant.

The wine is an old wine with pure taste and is scalded with hot water to warm everyone up.

After a banquet, the guests and hosts were having fun and got drunk on the spot.

Duan Yu called the servants again, and the family members who came with these people helped them down one by one and took good care of them.

His cheeks were slightly red and he felt a little drunk. After getting up, his skills were immediately full of energy.

"Come with me, Jingfeng and Jingbai are here too, they are not outsiders!"

At this time, several people were called to another small room.

"In the future, everyone will work together and meet each other first. These two are Jingfeng from Baihao Mountain. Taoist Jingbai. We can escape unscathed this time, thanks to their help!"

Duan Yujing sat down and introduced it to everyone.

Among them, Qin Feiyu and Ye Zhiyu have formed Jinlan, and they are also hardcores who have been with him since childhood.

Although Guo Bairen joined later, these days have gradually returned to his heart.

In the end, Xiao Jingfeng and Yu Jingbai had a taste of a guest, but nothing serious.

In the future, if you choose some smart and capable people from the families you follow, you will be the core team.

"I have met two Taoist priests!" Ye Zhiyu and Guo Bairen saluted immediately.

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

Xiao Jingfeng smiled honestly, his hands shaking, but Yu Jingbai's wonderful eyes were staring at Ye Zhiyu, with a little curious look.

"Okay, since everyone here is my own people, let's talk about it and calculate my current family background!" Duan Yu went straight to the topic.

In fact, this is the most important thing.

Even those who practice immortals need to offer fireworks on earth, not to mention the leader of the great gang.

Since he was dismissed, the most important person on his head, or the title that dominated everyone, seemed to be the leader of the Koi Gang.

"Abide by the order!"

Ye Zhiyu and Guo Bairen looked at each other, but Guo Bairen said: "In terms of the Koi Gang, there were ten households who were originally willing to come out with us, but later there were fewer employees and they became nine households, with a total of twenty-one people!"

After all, if you take other people's strong laborers as thugs, the other party's wife, children and other family members must also accept them.

Fortunately, the Koi Gang is mostly orphans, and there are not many elderly people who are burdened with it.

Twenty-one, plus six people including himself, are just a small group of twenty-seven people, no more or less, and no more mobile in Dongchen territory will not be noticed.

However, there must be a name, such as a caravan, which is very good.

Duan Yu thought silently and asked again: "Where is the silver and money? How long can it last?"

"Please rest assured that this is the last time. Although the money was insufficient last time, after coming to Dongchen, my subordinates slowly took advantage of some of the treasures entrusted by the adult last time. Currently, there are more than 10,000 taels of cash..."

Ten thousand taels are really a lot. If this little bit of people is enough to spend decades alone.

According to the average grain price in the Central Plains, one stone of grain is about one tael of silver. The "stone" here is a unit of volume, equivalent to one hundred kilograms of grain, which can roughly serve an adult's needs in three months.

Of course, it is impossible for a person to eat only food, and he still has other needs.

But no matter what, if Duan Yu is not prepared to spend money with bigotry, there will definitely be no trouble within a few years.

It's just... this is an ordinary person.

If an extraordinary person wants to practice, the materials that need to consume are very terrifying.

Not to mention anything else, if Duan Yu had to open the furnace and refine the Five Elements Pill again, this 10,000 taels would not be enough to stuff it into it.

"Well, I'm doing well. I still have some money here, but I have already exchanged the silver notes from Qingguo, and I have to worry about the Baihaoshan channel being replaced by Dongchen."

Duan Yu nodded to Qin Feiyu, who immediately took out a stack of silver notes and handed them to Xiao Jingfeng.

"hiss……"

After taking it, Xiao Jingfeng suddenly widened his eyes, surprised at such a huge number.

Duan Yu smiled but said nothing. He first inherited the legacy of the Taoist plague that year. In addition, he killed people and searched his home several times in Qingdu. According to the unspoken rules, he could not be missing a leader.

And he had long planned to escape, so he exchanged crude benzene property for silver notes in Qingdu. After this accumulation, he was of course fat and oily.

"This... the caravan in Baihao Mountain can be eaten, but it takes one month, and one of them becomes a waste!" After thinking about it, Xiao Jingfeng answered affirmatively.

This is because his master became the Lord of Baihao Mountain and gave him the corresponding authority.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to change.

The financial exchange between countries in ancient times was not that simple? It was not really a business with great strength, so it could not be taken over.

Fortunately, the caravan formed by Baihaoshan still has this strength.

“So good…”

He only charges 10% of the handling fee for money laundering, which is already very conscientious, and even vomits blood and sends out the money. Duan Yu naturally has no dissatisfaction.
