Chapter 1864 Stop and fight 22
Xining blinked: "Didn't I ask Uncle He for some money when I came out?"
"It's all spent." Taohong curled her lips. She spent so much just now, didn't she have any idea in her heart?
Xining asked: "How much is left?"
Taohong replied: "There are only three copper coins left."
Liu Lu was quite optimistic: "I can still buy three steamed buns!"
Xining turned around and took a look, followed by four followers. When they saw her looking over, they all smiled stupidly at her. Even if the military advisor asked everyone to coax the body master to light up, the smile was too forced and ugly.
One by one, both hands were empty, and one even hung the wrapped bag around his neck and even used his neck.
Thinking back, I bought gifts for the military advisor and the four heads of the family, and there were more than one gift. Whatever is not available in Black Tiger Village, buy it when you see good ones. It would be weird if the money doesn’t run out!
In fact, some stores offer credit, and you can just send someone to your house to withdraw the money. Based on her current status as the head of the county, she should be able to give her face by being banned.
However, consider that not all stores may know your name. If you put your name up, you will be laughed at if the credit is not granted, and your good mood will be ruined.
Since you have no money, just go home. Anyway, if I buy it again, I won’t be able to hold it.
As I walked back, a familiar figure suddenly appeared. It was Mu Hanqing. He was looking down at the private room upstairs in Juxian Residence with a young man wearing brocade clothes and jade belt.
The young master seemed to be very interested, but Mu Hanqing obviously didn't like to see her. Seeing the look of disdain in his eyes and face, Xi Ning wanted to raise an international hand gesture to him, but people of this dynasty might not understand it anyway.
Tsk, I saved your life and you still despise me, who do you think you are?
Not wanting to take another look, just keep walking forward.
Mo Ming: "Go up and rob!"
Xining...what nonsense are you talking about? Do you know that robbery is illegal, no matter which dynasty you belong to?
Forget it in Black Tiger Village, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, but this is the capital, a place where even a falling tile can hit the emperor's relatives. Are you tired of robbing people here?
Mo Ming: "Just do it if I tell you to do it, don't worry about it!"
Okay, okay... Xining turned around and walked towards Juxianju and stepped in.
As soon as we entered, a waiter came up to us: "What does this girl want? We have pasta, rice, and steamed buns here. If you want to eat meat, we happened to buy beef. This is not a cow that died of illness and old age, but a beef cow from the north. Very tender.”
In many ancient planes, in order to promote farming and respect the laws of heaven, cattle cannot be slaughtered. Cattle that have died of illness or old age have to be sold on the market, and they have to report to the government and get a written ultimatum, that is, a letter of consent, before they can be sold. Cattle coming from the northern grasslands also require government approval.
A few years ago, the imperial court and the Liao Emperor signed an alliance. Both parties agreed to open the border, but the imperial court had to pay an annual tribute of 100,000 silver coins and 200,000 pieces of silk to the Liao Dynasty.
This kind of paying tribute to foreign emperors and humiliating the country by losing power will be regarded as weakness of the dynasty in future history books and textbooks. In fact, when a war breaks out, the daily cost is more than 100,000. After a war ends, it costs tens of millions of taels of silver and tens of thousands of casualties, but it may not be won.
And all this money can be earned back in just a few days of business. Silk, tea, salt, porcelain, jewelry, etc. from the Central Plains were sent to Liao, in exchange for a large number of cattle, sheep, and war horses. In exchange for nearly a hundred years of peaceful coexistence,
The current treasury is empty because it was just the beginning, and all the previous funds were exhausted due to the war. In a few years, these benefits will become more and more obvious.
Otherwise, when the waiter in the shop sees them dressed up, he will think they are ordinary Jianghu people and still say they have good beef to eat. Without a covenant, where would there be beef that ordinary people could afford?
Don't think about this, she has a more important thing to do now.
Xining answered directly: "Which private room is Prince Zhongyong in?"
The waiter was startled and looked up and down: "You are..." Liu Lu inserted his waist as thick as a willow tree, which is just a century-old willow tree, and rolled his eyes: "The leader of my village is the head of Yong'an County!"
What a mess, it was Xining's turn to roll her eyes. I don't know what low-key means. If I want to announce my family status, I have to wait for her to change into better clothes and dress up.
The Lord of Yong'an County... The waiter looked suspiciously at the "heroine" in front of him dressed as a tomboy. There were many noble ladies in the capital, but he had never seen anything like this.
Anyway, everything was reported, and Taohong also took the risk: "The county owner is the fiancée of Prince Zhongyong Hou."
This time the waiter didn't dare to hesitate and quickly led the person up. I had long heard that the only son of Marquis Zhongyong encountered an assassin on his way to Beijing and was rescued by a group of bandits. Although I don’t know how a fiancée appeared, in this era, even women in the world cherish their reputation in this regard and will not talk about who their unmarried wife is.
The waiter arrived at the door and smiled along with him: "This is it."
Logically speaking, you should reward some money, that is, a tip. But where do you guys have money now? Taohong, who is in charge of money, only has three copper coins.
Taohong could only stare: "Still not leaving?!"
The waiter's face immediately dropped. He was indeed a bandit and didn't understand any rules. But he didn't dare to go too far. There were four big men behind him, four big men carrying a lot of things.
But just as the waiter, who thought he was unlucky, was about to turn around, Taohong took out the only three coins he had: "Here, take it, I'll reward you."
It's only three copper coins. You must know that those noble ladies and gentlemen are given at least ten coins in a bunch.
But this group of people looked so vicious that even three dollars was money. The waiter then continued with an apologetic smile: "Thank you, girl, thank you to the county master for the reward." When he turned around, his face changed again, and he said to the county master, you are a poor man.
Just as Xining was about to knock on the door, the door opened first.
It was Mu Hanqing who opened the door. The young man in brocade was in the private room, sitting at the round table, looking at it curiously.
Mu Hanqing was stunned because he had seen him just now and suddenly appeared again at such a close distance.
It has been more than half a month since I left last time, and my skin has become much whiter, like the dark-skinned little wild cat that I originally was. A pair of big eyes, becoming more and more charming.
"What's the matter?" Even though he was good-looking, Mu Hanqing was still very impatient. Don't be forced to come here because of a forced marriage. You must know that His Majesty didn't grant the marriage. If you have the ability, go to the palace and talk to Your Majesty.
The reason really made him unconvinced, why he was not worthy of Zhao Fuling, but this reason was good, taking retreat as an opportunity to advance. If Zhao Fuling is involved in marriage, just say that she is a good person, but he is not worthy.
"Robbery!"
"What?" Mu Hanqing thought for a moment that there was something wrong with her ears. What was she talking about?
Xining said seriously: "Robbery! I'm here to rob."
The young master sitting inside suddenly laughed, grinning without hiding it, and almost laughed out loud.
