If we want to check whether Dai Bei is in the business of exchanging iron and weapons, we have to go to the border pass.
Ran Min then went to Shanyang to wait for tea at the city gate.
Chapter 54 Strike hard
"Lord, look! That caravan seems to be abnormal! "
Look in the direction of Jing Zhan’s fingers and see a team marching slowly in the street. The caravan banner is set up in front of it, and there are big waist and round hands holding the first iron knife.
In the procession, one carriage or ox cart is being escorted. I don’t know what it is for sale, but it is still protruding irregularly. The goods of this car seem to be very heavy, and the wheels have run over and rolled out a trap.
"Lord, shall we go and have a look?"
Ran Min shook his head. "What identity? Don’t startle us. Let’s observe one first. "
The caravan went straight to the city gate, but an incredible scene appeared.
See guarding the city will talk to the caravan leader for a while, then go to a hidden place and smiling. After coming out, the shoujiang’s face will emerge, like a spring breeze, and he will pat Shang Rao on the shoulder and let him leave the caravan.
Seeing this scene, Ran Min gnashed her teeth at Jing Zhan next to nothing. "This Shanyang Shoujiang is really not a good thing. This fellow must have accepted bribes and didn’t even have the proper inspection."
According to the Great Wei Law, officials in the Central Plains can carry sidearms, but there are certain restrictions. When people want to go out, they must show their ID cards and record how many people, what goods and how many goods they have. These are all registered.
Ran Min’s look is very dull. In fact, long before he came to Bing, he had already thought about the corruption situation at the border, which is not generally serious.
"Lord, what should we do now?"
"Surin came to see me as soon as possible and ordered Surin to dispatch one thousand iron cavalry to intercept the caravan! I want to come and get it! "
"promise!"
Jing Zhan was ordered to leave, and soon he rode to Shancheng and was taken to Surin, the general of Zhengbei University.
At this time, Su Lin was still correcting the official documents in the general office. When the Royal Guards asked for it, or the town magistrate commanded Jing Zhan’s adult to get a fright.
Did I make a big deal?
Su Linyuan was still very nervous in his heart, but he didn’t do anything corrupt when he thought about it.
As the saying goes, do not be afraid of ghosts knocking at the door.
Su Lin is not afraid of a crooked shoe, knowing that he has mostly gone wrong in treating Bing, and then he let people Jing Zhan come in
Jing Zhan came in without too much greeting, but said, "General Su wants to see you. He wants you to get to Shanyang as soon as possible. At the same time, he sent a thousand fighters to pursue it. A caravan will be accompanied by a royal guard along the way to guide the way."
"I’m leaving."
……
In a vast grassland
A team of people carrying weapons and not wearing armor is marching slowly like a horse thief.
This team has set up a caravan banner with a scale of more than 100 Rao. Except for the warriors on the left and right sides, the rest of them are driving carriages or ox carts, and each car has goods like mountain bags.
It wasn’t long before a team of about 500 Rao appeared in front of this caravan. Hu Rao’s fighters rode at a gallop with spears and iron knives in their hands, and they rushed like wolves.
The two teams stopped at a distance of fifty paces.
"Mr. Zhao, it’s been a long time." The first conference semifinals general gave a chest hug to the person in charge of the caravan opposite before driving the horse.
And that Mr. Zhao didn’t make any pleasantries. "General Alba, I brought a lot of goods this time, including pig iron, 1000 stone rings, first iron knives, spears, pike and other weapons totaling 2,000 pieces. Why didn’t you drive the cattle and sheep here today?"
Alba clapped her hands and immediately let people unload four big boxes from the team. At first glance, there were some silver and copper coins. I don’t know how many.
"Mr. Zhao, here’s all the money. Please count it. This time, we don’t trade cattle and sheep. This is all the money and coins."
Mr. Zhao waved his hand slightly in a moment and asked people to check it out, but then suddenly there was a "rumble" from the rear, and the horseshoe was shaking like a mountain and river burst!
"Not good! It’s Wei Rao iron cavalry! " Alba was frightened and ran away.
"What?"
Mr. Zhao was so frightened that he even ran away regardless of the car and goods.
But after they run fast, Wei Jun rides faster!
Hu Rao’s fighters are far away and come and go like the wind. They can not only catch those caravan personnel, but also catch them.
That Mr. Zhao was then dragged to the horse and his face was pressed to the friction of Lin.
"What are you doing? I am a good citizen! Good citizens! " Mr. Zhao screamed and shouted
The one thousand fighters a captain sneered, then turned the horse and lifted the carriage curtain to reveal the weapon inside. "Are you still a good citizen like this?" How dare you, dog? Don’t you know that the court forbids the sale of iron and weapons to the conference semifinals? I think you don’t want to live! "
"Take it away!"
Just as Wei Jun caught the caravan’s personnel and got it, Su Lin had already arrived in Shanyang to see Ran Min.
To be on the safe side, Surin Ma took over the Shanyang Yugoslav capital, and at the same time, he sent people to arrest the criminals. Combined with the merchant’s words, he tortured them in the Royal Guards and finally involved a large number of businessmen and military generals involved.
Ran Min was very angry and sentenced him to a full house.
Seeing Ran Min like this, Su Lin was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said, "My courtiers are guilty!"
"Are you guilty?"
"I asked the Northern General to command the Bingzhou Military Festival, but I didn’t notice the imperial side. I didn’t expect that the people should be punished for such cruel and heartless things!"
Smell speech ran lightly swept his one eye, saying, "It seems that you are guilty if you fail to observe the imperial party Su Lin, but you have been running the army in Shancheng all day long, preparing for the frontier and guarding Bing as big as they are. Although they are all your departments, it is only natural that you can’t manage it. After all, your spare energy is very limited."
"yes"
"So I’ll sentence you to punish them for half a year!
"Thank you, Lord Long En!"
Ran Min’s heart is sad. In fact, he doesn’t know that it is impossible for a person to cover everything. There are actually many places where the sun can’t shine on the surface of this large country.
Back to the girder, Ran Min immediately ordered the frontier merchants to crack down on the sale of iron and weapons to the conference semifinals, and those who violated the rules would be punished.
Chapter 55 Social Sacrifice
In 353 AD, the first day of the first month of the sixth year of Wei Emperor was the Spring Festival, but it was not called the Spring Festival in this era.
In ancient times, the names of the Spring Festival were different. In the pre-Qin period, it was paddle day, Yuan day, change the year, and offer the year. In the Han Dynasty, it was also called "Three Dynasties", "Sui Dan", "Zhengdan" and "Zhengri"
Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were called "Yuan Chen", "Yuan Ri", "Fuehrer", "Sui Dynasty" and "Sui Shou". In the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, it was called "New Year’s Day", "Yuan", "New Year’s Day" and "Singapore dollar". In the Qing dynasty, it was always New Year’s Day or Yuan Day.
In ancient times, the Spring Festival used to refer to beginning of spring as one of the solar terms, and later it was changed to the first day of the first lunar month. For some reason, the date of the Spring Festival in the early days of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty seems to be not unified. Since the first year of the first lunar month in the first lunar month of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the date of the Spring Festival has been fixed and continues to this day.
At this time, Wei called the Spring Festival "the beginning of the year"
When the New Year arrives, Emperor Ran Min can’t be idle.
Ran Min will hold a social sacrifice.
Ran Min is wearing a big Qiumian, which is matched with twelve crowns, with a big gown and a mysterious gown.
The shoulders of Xuanyi weave the sun, moon and dragon patterns; Weave stars and mountains on the back; The so-called "twelve heraldic patterns" are the sleeve woven fire, the Chinese worm, the Zong Yi woven algae, the pink rice, the horseshoe crab and the glutinous rice.
