Things that can be settled with money are not considered a big deal.

Therefore, when Xiang Xiao sent the money, he had a warm smile on his face and no distress in his heart, even though Mrs. Yan opened her mouth and was about to lose [-]% of his current family property, because he knew that in a short time, these things would be lost again. Come back to him.

"Since I have collected the money, this matter will be considered as a matter of exposure."

Three 5000 taels of silver, to the current Mrs. Yan, is not a lot of money at all. Yan Lingge is making waves in the hinterland of Xianbei, and it is not only this income that he randomly collects tickets for the caravan to bring back.

With a wave of the left hand, the person carried the silver and retreated. With a wave of the right hand, he said in a loud voice: "But according to the decree made by General Zhaoyi, for the safety of Muyang City, all merchants are prohibited from wearing knives. Therefore, I hope that Patriarch Xiang will abide by the law." Order, I will hand over the weapons worn by the trilogy to your safekeeping for a while, and return them when you leave the city."

Xiang Xiao's smile suddenly froze on his face. He didn't expect that Yan Zheng, who is famous all over the world, would be so shameless that he would hand over his weapons even after taking the money.

Chu Ning was watching, and Peng Yong, who had returned with the boat, found him. After the ceremony, the two left a message for Mrs. Yan, and they returned to the newly built General Zhaoyi's mansion together.

This general's mansion was designed by Chuning himself, and he didn't care whether it was beyond the limits or not, anyway, he did it according to his own preferences.

The five-entry courtyard is built in a pattern of three in the front and two in the back.Of the three in front, the most towering in the middle is where Chuning works and entertains guests.The two double-storey courtyards on the left and right are the offices of the military department and the civilian department respectively.As for the two courtyards at the back, one was Chuning's residence, and the other was temporarily used as a warehouse for storing military supplies.

He stepped into the conference room, and not long after he sat down, Mrs. Yan also brought Wei Jing and pushed the door in, and sat down at Chuning's next seat.

"Is Xiang Xiao solved?" Chuning asked.

"It was a small fight, and the weapons were forcibly surrendered." Mrs. Yan replied, "Seeing that they have surplus money, they did not detain anyone."

"The origin of this family is unclear, so you should pay more attention to it." After reminding, Chuning looked at Peng Yong and introduced: "This is Peng Yong, the deputy director general. Fang came back from the west of Liaoning and brought important information. President Yan Si please come over and take a closer look."

Before finishing speaking, Liu Changgui, Sun Xing, Chen Fu and others who were notified came in one after another.

"Peng Yong, I have met all of you." After everyone sat down, Peng Yong introduced himself under the watchful eyes of Chu Ning, and then talked about the situation of the Liaoxi Army: "The battle situation of the Fengming War Department has been going smoothly. In the past month, we have been going back and forth between Duanbu and Yuwen Xianbei's territories, and have seized a lot of cattle and sheep, which have been handed over to the Zhongwu Army one after another, and they should be on the way to escort them now."

Chuning and the Finance Department will take care of the seized matters. Madam Yan only cares about the situation on the front line and the enemy's layout: "What's the current situation in Murong Xianbei's territory?"

"Murong Hu led [-] fine cavalry, and they are still stationed beside the Raoshui River." Peng Yongdao: "According to the news from the Yan Department Chief, Murong Hu is not only taking strict precautions, but also receiving refugees from Duan Bu and Yuwen Xianbei. "

"This is expected." Mrs. Yan nodded, and continued: "How is the situation between the Zhongwu Army and Princess Yingchuan?"

"Under the leadership of General Xiao, the Zhongwu Army has been fighting steadily and steadily. It has not encountered any big battles, and there is still a little bit of strength to help the Chief Yan to escort and capture it." Peng Yongdao: "As for Princess Yingchuan, the recent situation Extremely unfavorable."

When Chu Ning heard this, he couldn't help being surprised and said, "A few days ago, the princess sent a letter back, saying that he had borrowed tens of thousands of soldiers and won the battle..."

"That was a few days ago." Peng Yong said with a wry smile: "In fact, these tens of thousands of soldiers are neither the cavalry left by General Gu in Wuzhong County, nor the defenders of Jicheng, but recruits recruited by the court this year. …Fighting against the wind, following Zhuang Zhuang’s momentum is okay, but when he saw blood, he ran faster than a rabbit. The subordinate was entrusted by the princess, so he came back from Jieshi to report the news.”

Upon hearing this, Chuning suddenly felt that something was wrong, and quickly asked, "What did the princess entrust?"

Peng Yong replied: "Words came out from the imperial court that Yuan Xiangguo made a proposal to the emperor, intending to use Princess Yingchuan as the main general and join forces with the loyal army to rescue Pinggang."

"What?" Mrs. Yan was furious: "This Yuan doesn't want to save Ping Gang, he clearly wants Princess Yingchuan and Xiao Zhongwu to die!"

"Why just die? It's obvious that you're betraying your country!" Chuning sneered, "If they weren't for their obstruction, how could Princess Yingchuan not be able to mobilize the defenders of Jicheng?"

Not only did Li Rui fail to mobilize the defenders of Jicheng, she did not even mobilize half of the cavalry that Gu Wenxiong stayed in Wuzhong County to support. In desperation, she went to pick up the recruits recruited by the imperial court. They didn't go into detail about the origin of these soldiers. Chuning and Mrs. Yan thought she had borrowed soldiers from other counties.

Peng Yong added: "Xianbei has recently sent a lot of spies to investigate the situation of Princess Yingchuan. It is estimated that they want to use the princess' side as a breakthrough point."

"Princess Yingchuan, there is no room for loss." Madam Yan and Chu Ning looked at each other, and said solemnly: "If Xianbei defeats Princess Yingchuan and frees up his hands, Xiao Zhongwu will be doomed. The three thousand cavalry of the Fengming War Department For the upcoming war, the only option is to run away to save our lives... Such a situation is of no benefit to us."

"It seems that this year's battle still has to be fought." Chuning knocked on the table, looked around at the officers under his command, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, tell me, what should we do to break this situation?"

This military meeting took a very long time, and when Chuning came out of the conference room, it was already sunset.

Before he had time to take a break, Chuning rushed to the heaven and earth with his guards on horseback.

The newly built Heaven and Earth is located on a small hill about [-] meters high, still some distance from the General's Mansion, away from the hustle and bustle of the port, facing the sea in front, and the scenery is very good.

Today is the new opening day of Heaven and Earth, and Chu Ning was far away, so he could hear the sound of people beating and beating gongs and drums. Not long after she was welcomed in by the waiter in front of the door, Xiang Xiao also brought a set of songs, followed by Followed by the flow of people.

Although Mrs. Yan taught him a lesson, Xiang Xiao restrained himself a bit, but for half a day, he had been looking around the inner and outer city of Muyang, but the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became - not to mention the ambiguity The wide street, not to mention the neatly built huts on both sides of the street, just looking at the crowds on this street is enough to surprise Xiang Xiao.

He looked on the street for a long time, but he didn't see a person who looked like a flower, and no one was idle. No matter men, women, old or young, most of them were dressed in clean linen and brown. They walked back and forth in a hurry, but their faces were quite energetic.

As the night/color/falls, the lanterns on both sides of the street are lit one after another. On both sides of the too wide street, people gradually push wooden carts, arrange them neatly one by one, hang up their own signboards, and start to attract customers with laughter. .

Looking at this seemingly endless street, Xiang Ying, the leader of the Xiang family, couldn't help feeling: "Patriarch, there are three hundred lanterns hanging on this street, right? Just this lamp oil, You have to burn a lot of money every day..."

These days, oil is a very precious thing. Ordinary people can't drink a few sips of oil soup a year, let alone use it to light a lamp. The whole street is brightly lit like this, but in Jizhou city None of the style.

Xiang Xiao was also amazed by the generosity, but what surprised him even more was that there were so many kinds of food displayed on both sides of the street that he couldn't see them all, and even a little lady who was not as tall as his shoulders was able to eat from her waist. From the small cloth bag, I took out a strip of cloth and bought a stack of meatloaf.

"Patriarch, you can exchange cloth strips for things here!"

Cloth can be exchanged for things, Xiang Ying knows this, but such a small piece of rag, which is half the size of a palm, can also be used for meatloaf - Xiang Ying could see clearly just now, the little lady just used a piece of gaudy cloth Tiao, four pancakes the size of two palms were replaced!

"My God! Not only can you exchange pancakes, but you can also exchange noodle soup..." Xiang Ying stopped in front of a small stall, swallowed her saliva, pointed to the meat in a large pottery bowl and asked: "This Is it pork? How much cloth would it take to replace it?"

The owner of the stall automatically ignored the things he didn't understand, and greeted with a smile: "Guest officer, this is braised pork, a big bowl for twenty Wen."

Xiang Ying couldn't help blurting out: "So expensive?"

"Expensive?" The boss continued: "The guest officer just came to Muyang City, right? The price of this small shop is affordable. Look at this bowl, is there enough for four liang of meat? Four liang of meat is only twenty dollars , the small shop still needs to cook...this is so cheap that it couldn't be cheaper."

"Affordable? Cheap?" Xiang Ying couldn't help curling her lips: "Last year in Jizhou City, pork was only seven cents a catty."

"Young man, you also mentioned last year's meat price, and there was no war last year, how can it be compared with this year?" Suddenly a big man came over, and he dragged out a small folding wooden table from the side of the small stall, and then pulled over a small horse. Sitting down, he shouted to the shop owner: "Old Zhang, quickly cut half a catty of meat for Grandpa."

"Okay! Master Qian, wait a moment." The shop owner swiftly cut up a bowl of meat again, took out a small earthenware bowl, made a bowl of corn and rice, and brought them to the small table.

"Young man, are you hungry? Come and sit down. Lord Qian sees your face, so please eat." That Lord Qian didn't notice Xiang Xiao, who was dressed in fine clothes, and only paid attention to Xiang Ying, who was also dressed in commoner clothes like him: "Mr. Zhangtou here is really kind, not only tastes good, but you can also buy meat to eat, it is most suitable for those of us who do hard work."

Xiang Ying glanced at Ying Xiao, and after receiving the signal, sat down opposite Master Qian.

After Xiang Ying ate a piece of meat, Master Qian smiled and said, "How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"It's not oily or greasy, it really tastes great!" Xiang Ying boasted: "I've never eaten such delicious meat in Jizhou City."

"The guest officer is from Jizhou City?" Old Zhang also brought a bowl of rice to Xiang Ying, and asked with a smile: "I heard that Jizhou City is fighting, did you win or lose?"

"I just heard that we are going to fight to Jizhou City, and the boy came here with the boat to make a living." Xiang Ying avoided the seriousness: "I just got off the boat this afternoon, and I don't know how to get a foothold here..."

"Huh?" Master Qian looked Xiang Ying up and down, and said defensively, "Young man, you don't look like a nobleman, why did you arrive in the afternoon, so you can come out to wander around at night?"

"Did he sneak out from the medical hall?" Old Zhang's face changed, and he vaguely said with disgust: "No wonder you don't understand anything."

"Old Zhang, what you said is wrong, whoever just came here will understand?" Master Qian said the first sentence of Old Zhang, and then said to Xiang Ying: "Young man, after dinner, you can go back to the medical center." , don’t run around, so as not to be caught by the guard of the security department. After you stay in the hospital for three days, the official of the civil affairs department will come and take you to find work. In this shepherd city, as long as you have a job Do it, as long as you are willing to work hard, life will be easy! Like Master Qian, I can now eat a big bowl of meat every ten days. Who knows that two months ago, I was still chewing grass roots under the hands of Xianbei dogs... ..."

Hearing these words, Xiang Ying's face was flushed. He was embarrassed to say that he was beaten all over the place in the afternoon, and he didn't know how to answer Master Qian's confusing words, so he could only point at Xiang in embarrassment. Xiao: "The boy came here with the Patriarch of my family, so he didn't stay in the clinic."

"So that's how it is!" Old Zhang glanced at Xiang Xiao, who was dressed luxuriously, and smiled again: "Is your nobleman planning to go to the heaven and earth? The heaven and earth opened today, and when the little old man came over from there just now, you can see There are a lot of noble people, I heard that there are people from all over the world..."

"That's not it!" Master Qian laughed and said, "Master, thanks to the blessings of these noble people, there are endless cargoes and boats that can't be unloaded every day..."

Hearing what the two of them said, Xiang Xiao thought that the heaven and earth were a place for rich and noble people to have fun, and when he heard that these people came from all over the world, he became very interested, and cast a wink at Xiang Ying, waiting for Xiang Ying to say hello Afterwards, he followed the flow of people with the parts and came to the heaven and the earth.

The goal of entering is a manor even more magnificent than the General’s Mansion. It’s hard to see how big it is under the cover of night/color, but looking at the big red lanterns hanging every few steps in front is enough to make people’s legs weak—— ——Xiang Xiao heard the people around him discussing, saying that there were 88 hangings.

Under the red lanterns, the wide Zhumen door was wide open, and beside the door stood six young waiters in white clothes. A plaque engraved with "Heaven and Earth" was hung on the door, and a long red carpet was spread in front of and behind the door. Many well-dressed people stepped on the red carpet and were welcomed in by the waiters.

Xiang Xiao originally thought that the heaven and the earth were a flower building, but seeing this imposing appearance, he suddenly felt that it didn't look like it. After hesitating for a while, he still walked over with a steady pace.

"welcome!"

As soon as he walked to the door, he realized that the six servants were extremely handsome. They bowed their hands and bowed at the same time, saluting together. The extraordinary posture shocked Xiang Xiao.

"This……"

Although I have never seen this kind of welcoming etiquette, I feel very refreshed. What's going on?

"Guests, please come in!" Xiang Xiao was welcomed in without asking who or why he came.

Entering the door, you will see a hall that is almost unimaginably wide. There is no partition wall, only circular pillars support, and on each circular pillar, there is a lampstand with extravagantly lit candles, making the whole space ambiguous. It shines like daylight.

There is a long table on the left side of the hall, which is filled with all kinds of food. In the rest, there are some exquisite beard chairs or carved beard beds for people to chat.

And Xiang Xiao hardly cared about these things, because since he entered the door, he was startled by the glamorous ground—God!The ground is neatly spread, but are they all pottery fragments?No!Is it porcelain... tiles? ? ?

Xiang Xiao subconsciously licked his lips, turned his head to look at Xiang Ying with a sluggish face, and suddenly lost his words - as expected, it is a thing that is not even in the palace, right?

Bai Su greeted her business partner on the third floor. After Chuning came over, she found a hidden corner to take a rest. Just after resting, she saw Xiang Xiao leading someone in, staying in the hall in a daze In the center, it looks like a few wooden stakes nailed there.

Losing a look at the two sisters of the Liang family, Chuning pursed her lips and smiled, and then went up to greet her: "Welcome to the heaven and earth, do you need a meal or a place to stay?"

Liang Qiuyue turned her face away, she couldn't bear to watch the next scene, while Liang Chunhua gloated: "It seems that this fat sheep will be slaughtered again today."

Rolling her eyes, Liang Qiuyue heard Xiang Xiao stammering and replying, "First... let's eat first... well, let's eat first."

"Okay! Please sit here." Chuning brought Xiang Xiao to the table, led him to a seat, brought a menu card, and asked him to order.

And when Xiang Xiao saw the menu, he almost jumped up on the spot - he, damn it, there wasn't a single dish on the menu that was cheaper than usual.

Always money!Enough for four or five subordinates to chew grain for a whole month!Here, he/mother can't eat a dish!

Xiang Xiao's heart began to tremble. He didn't know Chuning, and he didn't know that Chuning was cheating him, because Heaven and Earth opened today. In fact, all the food is self-service.

He made up his mind to order two cheap dishes and a pot of wine. Under Chuning's earnest persuasion, he couldn't help adding another dish and a soup. When the food was served, he couldn't help but secretly asked Chuning: " Please tell me, my lady, are the floors covered with porcelain tiles?"

Chu Ning was slightly startled, but then he understood, tried his best to hold back the smile on his lips, and replied seriously: "As for the guests, we call them 'floor tiles'."

After all, the technological level of this world has not yet reached the Jin and Tang Dynasties. The princes and nobles popularly used fine gold, silver or bronze products, while the general working people mostly used bamboo, wood or pottery. At present, only Chu Ning has experimental products for white porcelain, and the market The surface effect of the expensive celadon jars is not as beautiful as the floor tiles.

Although, this floor tile has only produced [-]% to [-]% of the effect of the previous life, but I have to admit that it will not worry about selling in the future.
