Xu Ding was not hypocritical, as long as he could enter the city, he recharged all the captured Nanming people's equipment except firearms.
"Let's count it as ten taels for you. Your broken crossbows are worthless, but the knife on your body is really a good knife."
Xu Ding smiled slightly: "Ten taels is ten taels, the knife is kept for food for the time being, and those who don't have food, how can they wander around in the rivers and lakes in the future!"
His own sword is a precious sword, and it is enough to replace his entire Fengcheng.
How could Xu Ding cancel it out in such a splash.
"Tch, I really thought it was a good knife, but it's only worth a hundred and eighty taels of silver. There are so many in our city lord's treasury!" The other party sneered mockingly.
All the soldiers on Xu Ding's body immediately became angry and stared at him.
Xu Ding raised his hand to stop the crowd, and then ordered eight people to escort the Nanming man into the city.
The others stayed outside the city.
'Feng' city is very different from the prefecture city of the Han Dynasty, and the size is about the same.
However, the population is denser, and the commerce and trade in the city are more developed and lively.
The flow of people is like weaving, there is an endless stream, and there are constant noises of hawking and frolicking.
Seeing this Nanming man looking around, Xu Ding asked, "Haven't you been here?"
The Nanming prisoner scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "This is the first time, the first time, although we have crossed the border many times and entered Zhongzhou, we have never entered the city.
The city entry tax is too high, and it is not easy to earn some money. "
Damn, it turned out to be a chick younger than himself.
Xu Ding said: "What about your cities in Nanming? What's the difference between them and those in Zhongzhou?"
The Nanming captive replied: "Although we don't have to pay taxes to enter the city of Nanming, we also pay a lot of other taxes, and we need to issue directions for travel, and we have to report wherever we go, which is troublesome.
But the city over there is also quite prosperous, but not as active as them, and most of them are locals, and the business is not so lively, unless it is Chinese New Year. "
Xu Ding nodded slightly, Lu Yin was also a thing in the Ming Dynasty in the original history.
That thing is too restrictive, greatly restraining the people, it is strange to be active.
"My lord, why don't you seem to be very novel?" The Nanming prisoner was a little puzzled. Xu Ding and the others seemed not very interested in this kind of extremely active commercial city, and their reaction was a little flat, far from the one before entering the city. look forward to.
Xu Ding smiled and said: "I've seen a lot, I'm not surprised by myself, this small town is nothing more than that."
Not surprising!
small town!
But so!
Listen to what people say?
What is the origin of these guys.
Holding the inferior weapons of the Western Qin people, but speaking the accent of the Eastern Tang people (mainly referring to Xu Ding's subordinates), and possessing the physical fitness of the northern barbarians (only referring to Xu Ding).
They are extremely interested in the firearms of their Nanming people.
I still don't know anything about Mid-Monday, and I don't know anything!
The nobles and dignitaries showed the same attitude of looking down.
There is no such country in the east of the mainland.
After walking around the city, Xu Ding asked Xiaosi to record everything along the way, and then spent a little money to find out some basic information about the city of 'Feng'.
I learned that there are many employment organizations here, as the Nanming people said.
Then there is the lord of 'Feng' named Jiang Li. Jiang Li defeated the former lord ten years ago and gained the right to rule.
But he has a close relationship with the employment organization in the city.
Most of these organizations obeyed his orders, and there were rumors that those mercenary teams were actually his people, and they were just hiding in the dark.
Once someone is unfavorable to Jiang Li and wants to take his 'Feng', Jiang Li must first know about it and deal with it silently.
That way he can rule for a decade without a serious challenger.
Besides the city lord Jiang Li and the mercenaries, Xu Ding also knew that there was a martial arts arena and an auction house in the city.
Martial arts competitions are easy to understand, tickets are required to enter, people in the martial arts competition are at their own risk, and the winners get rewards, and the rewards are generous.
The auction house will auction items from other places, as well as rare birds and animals and various resources from Wanmo Mountain.
But this is not often open, open occasionally.
After understanding clearly, I found a place to stay in the city and rested for a night.
The next day Xu Ding went to the martial arts field alone.
He is still full of awe and curiosity about the fighting power of this world.
The firearms of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the ordnance of the Western Qin Dynasty, the inscriptions and military formations of the legal scholars of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and the bodies of the northern barbarians.
It seems that there are many combinations, Xu Ding will not act rashly before he understands it, let alone send troops over.
I spent a small amount of money to enter the martial arts arena, and there were no empty seats here, and many people came to see this passionate scene.
In other words, the folk customs here are tougher and bloodier than other places in Zhongzhou, because the beasts in Wanmo Mountain are more ferocious, and there are many people who come here to make a fortune.
And those who can survive are strong hands.
Fighting opponents is my favorite.
There is nothing else in the city that is too entertaining, only this way can vent the hostility of everyone.
"Everyone, hurry up and place your bets. The betting will stop after half an hour. Our No. 99 will be against No. 89. Life and death are up to you, victory or defeat is glorious. Those who want to make a fortune, those who want to be famous, hurry up..."
A staff member of the arena began to yell and urge, and followed the temptation.
Those who really haven't thought about it clearly, don't do their best and run to the betting place to bet their money.
Xu Ding found a remote location at the back, where he could have a panoramic view of the arena.
Suddenly Xu Ding sat down next to him.
Xu Ding glanced at him. This man was elegantly dressed, elegantly dressed, and his white face was tender.
