The Book of Heaven

Chapter 36
Hearing the news that the King of the Dayue Clan recruited soldiers and horses, Ma Zheng finally believed what Ma Detu said, that the Jianghu is not the Jianghu people's Jianghu, but the imperial court's Jianghu.

This is not only true of the Han Empire, but also of countries like Manghuanghuang in the Northwest.

After listening for a while, Ma Zheng knew that these four people really came from a gang called "Tiger League". As a rule, the more exaggerated the name, the worse the strength. Fearless people will like it.

However, this "Tiger League" seems to be some exceptions. It's not that the four members of the "Tiger League" are boasting, but Ma Zheng observes carefully, and found that whether it is the staff of the restaurant or the local diners who come and go, they all respect these four people, or Some fear.

Ma Zheng didn't have much contact with the world outside of Majiapu, that is, in the past half a year, he didn't know what the Tiger League was, so he could only grasp some clues to judge.

After eating a meal, Ma Zhao's mouth is full of oil, while Ma Zheng's harvest is rich.

"If I don't want to go back to take a bath, I really want to go to Lanyue City to have a look. The Da Yue Clan's recruiting is very grand. I heard that even their emperor will attend in person. I am afraid that such a grand event will not be held in the empire." rarely seen."

Even though he knew that talking to Ma Zhao would be flirting with Niu, Ma Zheng couldn't help but babble, wouldn't he? The final result is that people around one mouth have to scatter and run for their lives, which is really stinky.

The restaurant where the two of them ate had rooms rented out for people to rest, but Ma Zheng wanted to walk on the street more. Taking the opportunity of buying two packs of raisins, Ma Zheng also asked about the location of the Home City government.

Different from the division of the state capitals of the Han Empire, the actual control borders between forces like the Da Yuezhi Kingdom change every year and vary from time to time. It is impossible to be as fixed as the empire. Therefore, the controller of Home City itself is The descendants of the Da Yuezhi royal family are called Nan Duo Tuo.

No one knows the age of Nanduo Tuo, but only knows that he has managed the Home City for nearly sixty years, and he is not so old. From time to time, he will walk out of the city lord's mansion and live with ordinary Home City residents.

From this point of view, this city lord should be the kind of person who has achieved success in martial arts. Although he is not youthful forever, the effect of prolonging life is extremely obvious.

With Ma Zheng's current state, he can't be regarded as stepping into the threshold of martial arts. If practice is a house, third-rate warriors can only be counted as entering the gate, and second-rate warriors can only be counted as entering the front garden. One foot is inside the threshold of the main hall, one foot is still outside.You have to step over the threshold with both feet, that's called martial arts.

This was what the third uncle told Ma Zheng in his spare time. As for whether he himself had entered the main hall, Ma Zheng asked, but the third uncle smiled and did not answer. He just told Ma Zheng that one day he would step over The threshold, you can naturally see the scenery in the main hall, and the taste in it is hard to describe in words.

It's going to the hall.

As for those who enter martial arts, they will have all kinds of visions, such as eternal youth or rejuvenation.

After entering the hall, there is also entering the room. If you do not enter the hall, you cannot enter the room. Those who can enter the room are no longer just martial arts, but closer to the mysterious and mysterious realm of heaven.

Ma Zheng didn't know if he would have the chance to ascend the hall in this life, he could only be sure that these were not the third uncle's nonsense, at least there were elders who had ascended the hall in Ma's family.

It is even known throughout the empire that there are masters of this level living in every powerful family with a long history, and the meaning of the existence of these masters is like a needle that stabilizes the sea, supporting the prosperity and wealth of the descendants of their respective families.

In the Zhuangzi camp, Ma Detu explained these principles more clearly and directly. Why can't the powerful army of the Han Empire still be able to sweep the barbarians of the Twelve Clans?Firstly, it is a weak site, and secondly, I don’t want to offend those warriors hiding in the dark too much. If these people are angered, the empire will put aside the face of life and death, and I am afraid that it will hurt its own country.

Only now did Ma Zheng realize that this world also has nuclear weapons.

Any town with prosperous business and trade will not lack inns for tourists and merchants to stay. The reason why Ma Zheng didn't stay in the wine shop where they ate was probably because the cost of the accommodation was too expensive.

Even in the Zhuangzi camp, the barbarian's head was exchanged for military merit money, but Ma Zhao's belly was a bottomless pit. However, part of the reward silver that should have been deducted was deducted.

Coming out this time is a crime and meritorious deed, not to mention Ma Detu's military salary, what Ma Zheng has accumulated for more than a month is what he eats, although he is not like Lin Shiba and Zhou Tong, who are worthless and want to dig out the reward money Buried in the pit as the future wife, but if the light does not come in, even Jinshan will be empty one day.

It must be difficult when it should be difficult. Fortunately, Ma Zheng needs to convince himself that he is the only one who can sleep in a hut like Ma Zhao. The only thing he pursues in his life is to eat three meals a day. Just full.

It's just that Ma Zheng didn't expect this inn to be so bad. The guests upstairs urinate in the middle of the night, and the sound of the wine pouring into the chamber pot can be clearly heard, not to mention grinding teeth on the left and farting on the right. This is not sleeping, it is clearly sitting. Enjoy a midnight serenade overnight.

Ma Zheng, who hadn't been able to practice kung fu all night, felt worthless for the thirty copper coins he sacrificed yesterday evening.

The Da Yue Clan and the Han Empire are incompatible, but the coins of the empire can flow unimpeded in the Da Yue Clan, which is not surprising.

Who makes the economic strength of the empire tied up with almost all the surrounding countries and has to roll so much, especially for these barbarians who suffer from the lack of copper mines, seven or eight hundred copper coins can be exchanged for one or two feet of colored silver, but If it was within the empire, one or two official silvers would not be able to be exchanged for one thousand and one hundred cash.

Don't underestimate the difference in exchange rates. In fact, this is the real benefit that attracts those border traders. They don't even need to go through commodity transactions. The [-]-[-]% profit from the exchange rate is enough to make people jealous.

Pushing forward 30 years, the empire once blocked the transaction of copper coins. It was not until several copper mines on the Jiaozhi side entered a period of prosperity that the ban on the situation of copper coins was lifted. I don’t know how many people because of this ban To be decapitated is really wronged.

The sun has just risen, and the streets and alleys of Home City are bustling with activity. Cuo Feima Zhao stands like a mountain and moves like a cow. It is really not easy for Ma Zheng to squeeze his way through the crowded streets. .

Today, Ma Zheng wanted to check the barracks in the city of Home, which was located in the south of the city. I am afraid that it was also influenced by the trend of the empire. Since the completion of the city of Home, the barracks representing the war have been placed in the south direction to suppress the air. Good omen of luck.

Before leaving the shabby black-hearted inn, Ma Zheng obtained a lot of information from his job with his sharp lips, one of which was about this barracks.
