Chapter 664: Is it fake? !
On the streets of Kyoto, pedestrians flocked to each other, and shops were hawking.
As the New Year is approaching, regardless of whether you have saved money this year, whether you have a difficult life, the people of Kyoto will start stocking up New Year’s goods.
Because the relationship between the Great Zhou court and the Duke of Yunguo in the north became tense again, after the caravan from Yunzhou sold the goods, the fruit wine on the market became increasingly scarce.
The people had to settle for the second best and buy Tusu wine.
"But keep your poverty and worry long and never give up. I will drink Tu Su at the end. This year, there are many people who have typhoid fever. Drinking Tu Su more wine is also easy to prevent."
Tusu wine is not delicious, but fortunately it has other effects.
The people who buy wine are particularly open-minded. Just have wine for the New Year, what else do you want?
"I want to buy some souvenirs, go with me?" The man who bought wine told the wine shop's home address and asked them to deliver it to the door, and then asked his companions if they wanted to buy souvenirs.
Sobiao is a fried ring pasta, one of the staple foods of the people of Kyoto, and can be used occasionally for transactions.
The companion was puzzled: "There are still a few days left before the holiday, why are you so anxious?"
The man was dying about the money bag: "Suocake can be stored for more than a month. If you buy it again during the New Year Festival, the price will definitely increase."
"Oh, can you live like this?" the companion glanced at the man and made fun of him.
The man didn't care, so the two walked towards the Suo Biao Shop together: "The New Year is sad, so of course we have to save a little. We have been busy talking all year round, and we have made more money than last year, so we can't resist the rise in rice prices."
The two of them worked together to trade and made several transactions this year. By the end of the year, they only earned enough money for the whole family to eat for a year.
"We are pretty good. Old Man Wu, who is with us, wants to make a big ticket and go to Hanzhong, but he doesn't even come back with the goods."
The man sighed: "I told him a long time ago not to go south, the road is unsafe. Since the floods began, more and more people have gone up the mountain to become robbers."
The two arrived at the Sobiao shop and demanded two chunks. Because they wanted to explode, the two of them went into the shop and waited.
There is no carbon pot in the shop, but the stove of the fried buns has never been extinguished, so the shop is quite warm.
"Which road should we take next year? You can't go to the south, and there is a war in the north." The companion looked sad.
The family needs money for food and clothing, rent, and money everywhere. They can’t just sit there.
I can go to Xiangzhou, but I don’t have much money.
The Han people ate the fried beans given by the shopkeeper and ate the warm water: "Let's be patient and wait. After the New Year's Day, the war in the north may have a result."
The guest who was waiting in the shop said curiously: "Can't it be so fast, right? Yunzhou, Shuozhou, Hezhong Prefecture and the northern grassland, so the boss has a territory. If the official wants to recover it, it will take several years?"
The man burst out laughing and said, "Why do you think so? It's amazing that the government can take it back to Hezhong Mansion."
The guest didn't believe it and questioned: "This time it was the official commander, which was similar to the imperial guards' personal expedition. Yunzhou and other places were remote and poor after all, and they fought several battles this year. Now it is just the last moment of strength. How can they compare with the official?"
The man smiled faintly, but the smile on his face was so disliked no matter how he looked at it.
The guest said dissatisfiedly, "What do you think, even if you say it. The Imperial City Department is busy with the frontline affairs and has no time to arrest us."
The official commands the front line to fight like a commander puppet. The Imperial City Department is the thread that controls the puppets, so busy that they don’t touch the ground.
There are dozens of messengers going to and from the capital and the front line every day.
The man did not want to argue with others, but the other party pursued him relentlessly, so he had to say, "I have been to Yunzhou. Yunzhou is not as decayed and declining as you think. In my opinion, the entire Zhou Dynasty could not find a second prefecture and county as vibrant as Yunzhou."
The guest was dissatisfied: "Can you be better than our Kyoto?" The man thought for a while: "Kyoto is at its peak, but it has a declining appearance. Yunzhou is a rising sun with a bright future."
This is a heart-stirring thing.
How could there be a better place than Kyoto? ! impossible!
The guest snorted coldly: "No matter how, they can't beat the officials and Dazhou!"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, there was a hurrying sound of horse hooves outside the shop, and it must have been a commissar again.
The sound of hooves faded away, the curtain was lifted, and a strange face appeared, and the eyes on the face emitted a gossip.
"Shopkeeper, two soubians exchange for one big news!"
The shopkeeper was angry and funny, and took out two cakes from the bamboo strips and handed them over: "It's obvious that they are all people with official positions, why are they still greedy for such a small advantage?"
The visitor took the cake and didn't eat it, so he put it in his arms: "You don't understand, this is fun. The people in Henan County have expanded and captured three counties in Henan County. They are now besieging Xinzheng County."
"Oh!" Everyone in the shop exclaimed, as if they couldn't believe the news.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"This is too fast. Didn't it mean that it was snowing heavily in Henan County? Why are those group of soldiers so powerful?"
"How could it be a riot? It must be Duke Yun's people!"
"Don't Duke Yun was blocked in Hezhong Prefecture? Why did she dare to divide her troops to Henan County?!"
The visitor smiled and said, "This is really the second big news I have said! Shopkeeper, you have taken advantage of today!"
"Don't be tedious, hurry up."
The visitor said mysteriously: "The twenty tower ships sent to attack Hezhong Mansion, dozens of ships, tens of thousands of sailors, and even the walls of the city wall were all sunk!"
The shopkeeper widened his eyes, unable to believe what he heard: "Really and false?! How did this be done?"
Even a man who is confident in Yunzhou is shocked, and this record sounds like a fabricated one.
The person who came was proud, look, everyone's reaction was the same, and they couldn't just let themselves be shocked and dropped.
"It's true. It is said that it was sunk by Yunzhou cannons. This matter was published by Yunzhou Weekly. However, the incident had a great impact. The court prohibited the sale of Yunzhou Weekly. However, some of them were still spread to Xiangzhou."
Seeing what he said so confidently, everyone fucked the air: "I'm so kind!"
It seemed as if the stimulation was not great enough for everyone, so the visitor threw down another important news: "The official attack on Hezhong County completely angered Duke Yun. Duke Yun immediately led his troops south. It was said that he had arrived in Anwu County, Guangde Prefecture."
"What?!!"
Hezhong County and Henan County are far away from Kyoto. The people in Kyoto heard that they were going to fight, so they didn’t feel real.
But Guangde Prefecture is like the northern gate of Kyoto. Isn’t it equivalent to hitting Guangde Prefecture to hit the doorstep? !
Without saying a word, the man directly added the order: "Shopkeeper, I'll give me another ten tumbles of cake!"
The companion realized something and immediately said, "I am the same!"
Other guests added orders.
The shopkeeper was so busy that he hit the back of his head. Seeing that the person coming was still standing at the door watching the fun, he urged, "If such a big thing happened, why don't you go back to the yamen quickly?"
The person who came yawned: "I won't go back. I will definitely be scolded when I go back! I have to wait until the officials and my husband have discussed the countermeasures before I can go back."
