Yang'ao Town, a small town located in the basin of the mountain.

This small basin is very small. Although Yang'ao Town is called a town, it is only slightly larger than Yangjiao Village, with a population of no more than 1,500 people.

Of course, the sudden appearance of more than thirty strange faces in such a small town would attract special attention.

But why are the residents of Yang'ao Town not surprised by Zhao Long's arrival?

Because this is also a secret stronghold of Tieyunzhai.

The people in Yang'ao Town are not actually the villagers of Tieyun Village, but the relationship between Yang'ao Town and Tieyun Village is very close.

Ten years ago, Yang'ao Town was harassed by bandits because it was located in a mountain basin, and there was even a situation of ten houses and nine empty houses.

Later, Tie Mian came here with people from Tieyunzhai, wiped out the four surrounding cottages, and resettled the rescued people who did not want to join the cottages in Yang'ao Town.

In order to ensure the safety of the town, Veneer set up some checkpoints at the only exit from the town, so most people from the outside world have artificially disappeared Yang'ao Town into the mountains.

Later, it has become the practice of Tieyunzhai to send people who have come down from other places and don't want to copy the village to Yang'ao Town.

Even some old bandits in Tieyun village are willing to live in this town.

After all, towns are much more peaceful than cottages. Once people get older, they like a slower way of life.

It was early in the morning when Yang Yuan came to Yang'ao Town, he deliberately chose such an hour to pass through the town.

His final destination was a temporary camp on the west side of Yang'ao Town.

This was built by Zhao Long and his imperial soldiers.

Huang Xu's subordinates once wanted to bring some residents of Yang'ao Town to help, but they only built some fences and were rejected by Zhao Long.

The camp of imperial soldiers has its own style and requirements, even if it is just a temporary camp, the requirements are equally strict.

But in Shun State, Qi State, Chu State, and any country in Central Continent, unless it is a fixed army camp, the others are as long as they can live.

That's why there are so many success stories of night raids.

When Yang Yuan brought 300 imperial soldiers to this camp that could accommodate 1,000 people, Zhao Long had already been waiting here for a long time.

"Young master."

"Well, you're doing well."

Yang Yuan praised Zhao Long after seeing the camp.

Such a large camp has been built in such a short period of time, almost the size of four or five football fields, and the tents have been set up. The efficiency is amazing.

"Shen Quan, tell the soldiers to enter the camp to rest, Zhao Long, follow me."

After Shen Quan asked the soldiers to rest, they came to the largest tent in the center of the camp, which was where Yang Yuan lived.

Originally, Zhao Long proposed to let Yang Yuan live in the town, where the accommodation conditions are better than the temporary camp.

But he refused. No matter how close the town is, there is still a certain distance from the camp. No matter what you do, errors may occur, so it is best to live with the soldiers.

So only Zhao Long and his men lived in the town.

Because it is more convenient to live in the town to collect information.

After Shen Quan entered Yang Yuan's camp, he found that Zhao Long was reporting information to the young master. He walked softly to Yang Yuan's side and stood quietly.

"My lord, because of Cangyang County's encirclement and suppression of Tieyun Village, the other villages in the Eighteen Bandits are sticking to the village, so the intestines of the sheep are very calm now."

Zhao Long suggested to Yang Yuan that at this time, it is best not to hit the attention of Heiyunzhai's own village on the sheep's intestines, because if you are not careful, you will be implicated.

Yang Yuan nodded in approval of his proposal, "What about other places?"

Zhao Long thought for a moment, and then replied: "Although the intestines of the sheep have become quiet, the business of the major cottages has not stopped."

This is normal, a large village with thousands of people, no other livelihood, how can it be possible to meet the needs of life with robbery alone?

Zhao Long said more and more smoothly,

"Heiyunzhai has robbed a large part of Tieyunzhai's private salt business, so if we want to target him, we have two choices. One is the first line of sky leading to the grassland, which is the only way to go. Keep an eye on it, even a stone of private salt in Heiyunzhai cannot be sold into the grassland.

The other one is at the junction of Cangyang County and Chen County, where Heiyunzhai transports illegal salt. I guess Heiyunzhai has colluded with Dongqi salt merchants, and the illicit salt they sell is from Dongqi salt merchants. Bought there. "

After listening to Zhao Long's narration, Yang Yuan began to think. He agreed with Zhao Long's two choices.

If you want to weaken Heiyunzhai, these are the two best ways.

"Which one should I choose?"

Yang Yuan is still thinking, each choice has its own advantages and disadvantages, it depends on what is Yang Yuan's goal of achieving the team as soon as possible?

Well, it's decided, just choose it!

"Zhao Long, send someone to investigate to the south of Sanyang Mountain, and find out the law of salt transportation in Heiyun Village as soon as possible. We will start from the source of private salt and cut off one of his sources of income."

In the end, Yang Yuan decided to start with buying salt. Once there was a commotion in Yixiantian, there would be too much noise.

After Yang Yuan chose the south, Zhao Long immediately led his people over the four hills to the junction of Cangyang County and Chen County.

Cangyang County and Chen County are adjacent to the north and south, and Qi State is in the way to the east, but there are mountains blocking the junction of Cangyang County and Qi State, making communication very inconvenient.

Chen County is different, not only plains, but also rivers connected with Qi.

The private salt in Heiyunzhai was transported from Qi State to Shun State through this river, and then crossed the Sanyang Mountains to sell to the grassland.

As a middleman, Heiyunzhai made a lot of profits, even more than the salt merchants who smuggled between the two countries.

No matter how tense the atmosphere between the two countries, businessmen will not stop trading.

There is no country for giants!

What is a country?

Is there white silver and golden gold that people love more?

But selling salt to the grasslands is different. In addition to differences in countries and cultures, even if there are huge benefits, ordinary caravans dare not go to the grasslands easily.

Only desperadoes like Shiba Kou would dare to take this risk.

Therefore, most of the goods imported into the grassland need to add a middleman.

Zhao Long led thirty imperial soldiers on their way day and night except for eating and sleeping. When they arrived at the southern border of the Sanyang Mountains, they divided into groups and sneaked out of the mountains with makeup to start the investigation.

I don't know if it was because he hit another opponent that the people in Heiyunzhai began to swell?

Zhao Long quickly found out the private salt trade here.

"Captain, the private salt trade here is blatantly blatant. There is a Daliu village in the mountains over there, and there is a private salt trading market inside."

The team that Zhao Long sent out soon came back to report to him, and Zhao Long himself also detected the situation.

"Let's go to Daliu Village."

Now that he knew the target, Zhao Long didn't waste time in the town, and led his people to Daliu Village.

"Captain, there is Daliu Village in front of you. Look at that road. There are three secret sentries on both sides. Most people can't enter this village."

Zhao Long was accompanied by a group of ten people, and he arranged the other two groups outside the village to deal with unexpected situations at any time.

"Let's go in."

Zhao Long believes that his group can enter the village, and if they are stopped, they will fight in.

At this time, their attire became a pass, and there were not many normal people who came to Daliu Village. How could they all dress up like scholars?

Wearing a strong suit like Zhao Long and holding a knife in his hand, although he looks a bit more handsome, he can tell at a glance that he is a man from the world.

"Oh, it's hard to hold this knife!"

When other people saw Zhao Long holding a knife, they had to say that he was mighty and handsome, but he himself felt very dissatisfied.

I'm a spearman, so what's the point of holding a knife?

Immediately after entering the village, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy rushed in front of Zhao Long, making the imperial soldiers behind him subconsciously want to draw their swords out.

"Brother, it's the first time I've come to Daliu Village. I know this place very well. I can show you what you want to buy, as long as you have a tael of silver."

This price is not cheap, but if you want to do private salt trading, the threshold is not low. If you want to go to the door alone without leading the way, there is a high probability that you will get nothing.

"lead the way!"

"Okay, Brother Guangliang, what's your name?"

"Bai Liang."

Chen Long casually said a name.

The young man didn't care if the name was real or not, as long as it was said by the employer, he would believe it.

"Brother Bai came to Daliu Village for the first time. I don't know if there is any goal?"

"What's in it?"

"There are three warehouses in Daliu Village. The goods are different and the prices are also different."

"Oh? What's the difference?"

"Zhao's warehouse sells high-end goods, less common goods, and the most expensive.

Lu's warehouse mainly sells ordinary goods, which are mid-range.

Only these ten thousand warehouses sell groceries, so this price is also the cheapest.

I don't know which one Brother Bai wants to visit first? "

A village that sells illegal salt even has three different grades, you still know how to play.

"Go and see."

The boy who led the way was taken aback when he heard the words, and then showed a bright smile.

"Brother Bai, please!"

After speaking, he took the lead and walked into the village.
