    Jia Lian was very happy when he heard this. He stretched out his hand and said, "Where's the secret recipe? Let me see!"

    Xue Pan waved his hand: "How can I take it with me? But the content of the secret recipe is very simple. I remember that every time you go to a place, you first find the specialties of this place, such as rice, millet, beans, etc., and then you use it first  Eat this porridge for three to five days to harmonize your intestines and stomach, and then you'll be fine if you eat other things."

    Jia Lian frowned: "Have you tried it?"

    Xue Pan shook his head: "I followed this method for ten days when I first came here, and then I ate other things. I don't know if I was born with a constitution that is rooted in the ground, or if the secret recipe worked. However, come with me  Among the people assigned to the group, some were fine, but two did not make it through. They were sick, tired, and had no money for medical treatment, so they died!"

    Jia Lian stared at Xue Pan: "Didn't you tell General Wei about this method?"

    Xue Pan rubbed his nose: "Why should I tell him? Let me tell you, when I first came here, I paid for my life myself, and the soldiers secretly let me rest for a few days. When I recovered, it wasn't every day.  Follow the work. Isn't this later, my sister wrote me a letter, and I went to see General Wei. General Wei then ordered me to do whatever I could, and told them not to force me. They also took care of me.  ThatĄŻs all.Ą±

    Jia Lian nodded: "Tell me, what did you eat back then?"

    Xue Pan smiled and said: "Oh, you don't know how hard it is to eat the food here. Later, I heard that the beans grow well here, so I thought, the tofu is so tender that it should be edible, so I will pay for it."  I asked someone to grind the tofu for me. Oh my god, they are so black. A piece of tofu costs one tael. I ate it for the first time. Later, I couldnĄŻt stand the beany smell, so I stopped eating it, and the result was no good.  Something happened."

    Jia Lian nodded: "Well, I will let someone try this method. If it is really effective, you will be considered guilty. I will deal with it for you. You can be an ordinary soldier. You won't have to work in the wind and snow in the future."  You have food and shelter. However, I still say what I said, you are on the border, and you cannot return to Kyoto without the imperial court's mercy. You are young, how can you stay here all your life? "

    Xue Pan immediately jumped to his feet: "Who wants to stay here for the rest of their lives? I'm not stupid either!"

    Jia Lian said: "Then behave well. First of all, you must find a way to survive. I'm not talking about the kind of people who buy your life with money. You have to develop your own skills. You said that you are even eating like this, what do you want?  If you want to return to Beijing, letĄŻs start by losing weight. Once you lose weight, IĄŻll make sure you fall in love with marching and running.Ą±

    Xue Pan shrank his head: "I thought I could follow you."

    Jia Lian snorted: "You are beautiful, I am here to run an errand. After finishing the errand, I will go back to Beijing. I don't dare to take you with me. There are hundreds of people in my family, old and young, and they still want to survive."

    Xue Pan groaned: "But what kind of behavior can I do before I can go back? Tell me a goal? General Wei and his son are officials, so they are not just enjoying the northwest wind here!"

    Jia Lian suddenly laughed angrily: "They can go to Beijing to report their work, can you? They can go to the temple to meet the saint, can you?"

    Xue Pan chuckled: "Well, I'll listen to you and start working tomorrow. However, what did you say yesterday? I didn't remember until I got back. You said 'I don't know, forget it'. I don't know what happened."  , Could it be that something happened to my mother and sister? DidnĄŻt your Jia family help them? How are they now? My sister is also sixteen or seventeen years old this year, and Xu people donĄŻt have it? IĄŻm really worried about it, and they donĄŻt give me anything.  I write letters. My mother used to ask you every day, how are you, what are you eating and drinking? I thought she was annoying, so I stopped writing letters in the past six months, and I was thinking about her again. Do you think this person is a bitch?"

    Jia Lian looked at this guy, he was really heartless. He asked about his own affairs without asking clearly, and then talked about his sister's mother.  Seeing that he was thinking about his relatives, Jia Liandao changed his mind, saying: "Your mother and sister are all well. Your mother is now my second aunt. Your sister has changed her name. She is called Jia Baochai, and now she is me."  Cousin."

    Xue Pan suddenly jumped three feet high: "What, what, my mother remarried? Impossible, my mother said, my father is good to her, she will stay with her for the rest of her life? Why has it changed? It must be your second uncle, you  Second uncle is shameless and forces good girls into prostitution"

    Xue Pan cursed and felt that he seemed to have scolded the wrong person, and immediately held his head and kicked the ground: "My mother, why are you so old and lame? What should I do in the future? Oops, no wonder you are so old.  Leave me alone, it turns out that bastard Jia Zheng deceived me"

    The more Jia Lian listened, the more he couldn't stand it anymore: "If you scold people, find a quiet place behind your back. If you scold someone from the Jia family in front of me, are you looking for a slap?"

    Xue Pan choked and said with a stern face, "Humph, youI have been away from home for many years now, and I thought that it would be difficult for her to maintain the family, so I indulged her a little bit. I didn't want to end up like this and regret it too late.  "

    Jia Lian said: "The historian's sister is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has many contacts with several princes in Kyoto. From now on, I will ask my wife to take more care of her, and she should be more than enough to manage the Wei family's middle income."

    Hearing this, Wei Kun high-fived: "As expected, I have nothing to worry about!"

    Jia Lian smiled and asked another difficult question: "With the current situation of the Shi family, the issue of dowry is probably also a big problem."

    Wei Kun waved his hand: "This is not a problem. At worst, I will pay more betrothal gifts."

    Jia Lian cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I would like to thank the general for taking care of him."

    Wei Kun replied: "I am in northern Xinjiang, and I hope my nephew will take care of this matter."

    Jia Lian hurriedly said: "It's my job, but what about my nephew?"

    Wei Kun took out a token and handed it to Jia Lian: "This is a trading token for the private market. If you go to Caoji tomorrow and take out this token, someone will naturally come to lure you into the private market. What the price will be at that time, but it depends on you."  ability."

    The next day, the Convenient Grass Market opened.

    Jia Lian ordered the twenty-odd children of the family to get up early and dress up, and use ink, calligraphy and painting to turn them into rough men.  Jia Lian put on a beard, a silver fox fur hat, and a silver fox fur scarf, leaving only a pair of eyes.  Sister Feng couldn't recognize her in such a disguise.  Jia Lian led the children to escort ten carts of liquor to Caoji.

    Jia Lian was standing in Caoji, hanging his name tag on his waist. Within a moment of burning incense, someone came up to talk to him. The other person took out the same token, which matched the token in Jia Lian's hand.

    The man verified his identity and said: "Sir, please come with me."

    Jia Lian got on the carriage again, leisurely drove the carriage behind the man, and slowly left the market. Finally, the man stopped in front of a forest, turned around and bowed: "Here we are, guests please come in."

    Jia Lian spread his consciousness and immediately discovered that the forest was hollow. Jia Lian's visual inspection showed that the forest covered about ten feet, which was just enough to block the eyes of mortals. A large open space was cleared in the middle, and many simple thatched sheds were erected in the open space.  There are people living there, and there are animals tied downstairs.  Look at the fresh doorposts. Except for the thatch on the roof, most of them are made from local materials.

    Because of this, there is a merchant selling thatch next to it.

    This is a market that is more vulgar than Caoji.

    Jia Lian walked into the so-called market along the open space in the woods.  The man said goodbye: "You can find an open space to set up a store by yourself. The younger one has to go and greet other customers."

    Jia Lian took out a piece of silver and threw about five taels into it: "Brother, take it and have a glass of water and wine to warm yourself up!"

    At this time, the leader's face changed and he suddenly became enthusiastic: "Thank you, I forgot to mention a few words. You have set up a place. You can wait for the guests to come to your door, or you can go to other places to discuss the goods you like. Over there  There is a tavern on the corner, where you can have a drink, eat, and discuss business, so IĄŻll take my leave!Ą±

    Jia Lian waved his hand, and his children went to build the wooden building. Jia Lian spread his consciousness again and stared at a wooden building with horses tied to it. There were more than a dozen horses, some were short and under three years old, and some had dull fur. They should have already  Over fourteen years old, he is too old to fight, and can only be used for farming and hauling goods, so he dismounts.

    Jia Lian suddenly lost interest.

    In a blink of an eye, I looked at the second house. There were horses and sheep downstairs in this house. The sheep were getting fat and the horses were the best.  Jia Lian skipped over again, but the next one was selling green salt.  Jia Lian paused here, and skipped over to look at the next house again. He looked at more than 20 houses at once, but there were less than 20 high-quality horses between the ages of three and twelve.

    Jia Lian couldn't help but wonder. He remembered that the frontier generals had no less than a hundred war horses in every transaction. Why were there so few this time?

    This is impossible, there must be something fishy!

    Over the years, the emperor gradually reduced the market transactions, causing famine in neighboring countries, and each one howled like a weaned child.  Why are private market transactions so bleak?

    Half an hour later, Jia Lian had already set up a store.  Jia Lian brought his own wine jar to the simple restaurant. Jia Lian opened the wine lid with one palm, and the aroma of wine immediately overflowed.

    Jia Lian took a few deep breaths of the wine, then opened his eyes and ordered: "Boss, cut some plates of wine and vegetables!"

    The restaurants here donĄŻt sell dishes, either mutton jerky, beef jerky, or yak jerky.

    "Okay!"

    The waiter agreed while taking a few breaths of alcohol.

    The guest next to me was alerted by the aroma of the wine and came over to strike up a conversation: "Your Majesty, I'm here to invite you. I wonder if I'm objective, but you specialize in wine?"

    Jia Lian stretched out his hand and said, "Please sit down and talk."

    "You salt dealer, do you know about Bird Ball's drinks?" The visitor was about to sit down, but was rudely pushed away and sat down opposite Jia Lian.

    The white-faced man from before had no choice but to sit down and raise his eyebrows in disdain: "Without me, a salt dealer, you would still be eating those rotten porridge." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)He pushed away roughly and sat down opposite Jia Lian.
