This tavern has a high standard and a wide range of items, including home-brewed rice wine, Danjiu to Xinfeng famous wine, and wine from the Northwest. Wang Yue is not good at wine, but he just asked for a bowl of rice wine that is not intoxicating, and Yun asked for Xinfeng wine, Jiaozhou wine, and wine with great interest.

The two of them quietly tasted wine, listening to the exchange of drinkers in the tavern.

Yun chose this tavern because there are many customers, and a lot of information leaked during the conversation between the drinkers can let Yun intuitively understand the living conditions of the people under his governance, which is much more reliable than what his subordinates said.

Because the university city is a city that is dependent on the Jinyang School Palace, people's remarks are also somewhat related to the Jinyang School Palace, the merchants who sell paper in Guanzhong are full of laughter, and the six hundred catties of paper they transported were bought by the Xue Palace in one breath Four hundred catties, and the rest were also bought by the scholars. They planned to move the workshop from the turbulent Guanzhong to Bingzhou, and several people discussed happily, and burst into laughter from time to time. Compared with them, the neighboring Jiaozhou businessmen are a little bleak, and it seems that the business is bleak.

They sighed incessantly, which aroused Yun's interest, and Yun asked Wang Yue to invite them to ask why.

The ** state merchant was drinking sullen wine and was interrupted by Wang Yue. Wang Yue is arrogant, and now he is the confidant of the general of the Che Cavalry, so he naturally will not be polite to a group of businessmen, and his words are quite rude. And that group of businessmen is not without eyes, Wang Yue brocade clothes with a sword, majestic appearance, at a glance is a person in a high position, immediately accept the dissatisfaction, respectfully salute, the leading businessman followed Wang Yue to the cloud.

Yun casually poured a bottle of wine for the merchant, "Just Chu Ziyang, I don't know your Excellency's name." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare," the businessman hurriedly excused himself, and when he saw that Yun didn't seem to be a fake, he took the wine and drank it all, and then said: "Don't dare to pollute the eyes and ears of the nobles.

"I don't know what the relationship between Jiaozhi Taishou Shijun and Jun is. "Jiaozhi Taishou Shixie Zi Weiyan, is also a more famous scholar, he studied under the famous scholar Liu Tao, that is, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms began to scold the eunuch who was killed by the iron courage of the imperial history doctor, for the Spring and Autumn Three Legends of the annotation, quite influential, Yun has seen the group of corrupt Confucians who repair the stone scriptures to argue the views in his book. But the most important thing for Yun is that he is the representative of the Jiaozhou wealthy family, the Shi family dominates the four southern counties of Jiaozhou, and in the future, if Eastern Wu dominates Jiaozhou, Sun Quan will have to win him over to achieve his goal.

Shi Chang said: "Change the concubine of the cold family, how dare you have a relationship with Jiaozhi." ”

What he means is that he is related to Shixie, but his own status is humble, and he has nothing to do with Shixie, who has two thousand stones. Think about it, the Shi family is flourishing, and it is not surprising that there must be a lot of people in Jiaozhou for decades.

Yun wasn't very interested in the southern one, and just asked Shi Chang why he was bothered.

When Shi Chang heard Yun ask this, he couldn't help but feel distressed, sighed for a while, and couldn't care about maintaining etiquette in front of Yun, so he drank a few large cups before pouring bitter water on Yunda.

It turned out that although this Shichang was a side branch of the Shi's family, it was a surname Shi, and someone helped him. He begged to go to Shixie's brother, the governor of Nanhai County. Shi Yi gave him some money as capital, let him be a businessman, and the profit was 28 percent with him. Yun smiled when he heard this: "I think this Shi Du Post is still a kind person, and he only needs half of the profit if he gives you money to do business." ”

Shi Chang's face suddenly turned gray, "Where did the son say, twenty-eight open, it's me two and he eight." ”

Yun couldn't help but shake his head, "A county superintendent of post, so fond of money. ”

The priest was also kind, and he refused to criticize the benefactor outside, and continued to talk about him. Jiaozhou is poor, there is really nothing that can be used to trade with the outside world, although Jiaozhou can make a lot of money by transporting grain and wood abroad, but he has little capital, and he does not have the manpower to do big business, so he made up his mind to sell wine. Jiaozhou wine is light and flavorful, it is a famous wine, it is very famous in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is as famous as Chang'an Xinfeng wine. So it sold very well, and Shichang only transported wine to the south of Jingzhou, which is close to Jiaozhou, to sell wine at first, because it sold well and made a lot of profits. As time went on, he made more and more money, and he thought that he could go further north and do a bigger business. Because his proprietor Shi Yi had eaten a lot of sweetness and thought that he could make more money, he gave Shi another sum of money in exchange for a big business.

Shi Chang bought a large number of goods, thinking that he would go north all the way to do business, and where he went, his own wine would definitely be more valuable. But the next experience made him suffer enough, he was first in Jingnan, was exploited by Cheng Cheng, and then was exploited layer by layer in Jingbei, and when he passed through Jingzhou, half of the goods were gone, and the floating wealth was empty.

Yun strange, "I heard that Liu Jingsheng is known as the Eight Horses, the Confucian sect of the world, and educated Jingzhou with benevolence and righteousness, how did Shijun be harmed by Jingzhou soldiers, could it be that the rumors are untrue?" ”

Before Shi Chang could speak, a young voice shouted: "Liu Jingsheng is a kind of eight horses, but he just covers the body of a chaotic minister with the clothes of benevolence and righteousness. ”

Yun and Shichang looked up, and saw a young man in Confucian clothes standing aside, his face flushed, obviously resentful of Liu Biao. In fact, Yun and Wang Yue noticed the young man's approach earlier, but they didn't care, and waited until the young man scolded Liu Biao before they noticed the child.

When the young man saw the three of them staring at him, he didn't have stage fright, so he bowed and saluted: "Don't blame the gentleman, the boy is arrogant and disturbs the gentleman." ”

Yun was idle anyway, so he asked the kid at the same time. The child told directly, he said that he was a native of Yiyang, Jingzhou, named Han Lou, a student of Jinyang Academy, and the only son of the owner of this tavern. The young man was curious, and when he heard Yun and Shichang talking, he leaned over to listen, and when he heard Yun Kua Liu Biao, he couldn't help but scold.

Yun was curious about his reaction, and asked him why he hated Liu Biao, Han Lou Balabala said a lot, what dared to use the Son of Heaven honor guard, sacrifice heaven and earth as a courtier, connived at the rampant and domineering of relatives, heavy taxes and exploited the people, etc., Han Lou's family is the victim, his family is not rich, but he also has a lot of land, his brother is still studying in Jingzhou official school, and his admiration for Liu Biao is great, every day at home to praise Liu Zhou's foreign king and inner sage, how to stabilize the water and soil to protect the people.

Unexpectedly, because his brother was talented and a little arrogant, he once made a person from the Cai family unable to step down in the debate class. This gentleman actually instructed the house slave to throw his brother into the water in the middle of the city, and in the middle of winter, his brother fell into the cold water, and he could no longer stand up. Han's father angrily sued Xiangyang Ling, but the Cai family was Liu Biao's in-laws, and the Han family was just a small landlord, so he didn't care at all, but beat Han's father.

Later, Han's father heard that Jinyang Academy recruits students, regardless of whether the students have physical diseases, they can be admitted to the school palace, and the Jinyang school palace is full of Confucianism. Han's father gritted his teeth, offended the Cai family, and he couldn't mix up in Xiangyang's one-third of an acre, sold out the land, and the family moved to Taiyuan, fighting for the child's future. His brother was indeed admitted to the academy, and they came to Bingzhou late, and did not catch up with Yunfen to divide the land to the poor family, and the land in Bingzhou was also expensive, so they could only open a tavern in the university town to support their two sons to study. After listening to Han Lou's narration, Yun couldn't help but laugh, this kid, my brother thought that Liu Biao was good when he said that Liu Biao was good, because Liu Biao's in-laws were rampant and harmed their family, so they hated Liu Biao, Liu Biao didn't even know who their family was, and how could he say it, this kid is really a string. Yun motioned for Shi Chang to continue.

Shi Chang wanted to say that he was interrupted by this child, so he hastily said the reason, it turned out that Liu Biao did not fully control Jingzhou at this time, and the four counties of Jingnan were not in Liu Biao's hands. And Liu Biao mastered Jingbei, and his control was not strong, because he reused the family, so most of the soldiers in charge of the family used their power for personal gain, set up private checkpoints, and collected taxes indiscriminately. Therefore, Shi Changcai was double-exploited in the north and south of Jingzhou. Shi Chang originally wanted to go to Yanzhou or Jizhou, but it was Cao Cao's relative Cao Hong, who was stationed in Yingchuan, he was extremely greedy and collected very heavy taxes, and Jizhou was similar, Shi Chang did not dare to go, and some people said that now Sili is stable and prosperous, so he went north to Sili.

To his surprise, the state did not collect taxes at all, except for a small amount of tax at the border. Shi Chang Daxi, originally thought that he could get back the capital, but what made him burst into tears was that Bingzhou has developed too fast in recent years, and the winemaking industry has also flourished. The wine that is exchanged for taxis can't be sold at a high price, and if you sell it at a low price, you won't even have pants.

That's why I sighed in the tavern.

Yun looked at the bitter gourd-faced taxi change, and said: "Shijun don't have to worry, you solve my doubts, I will take care of your business, you go to the wolf cavalry camp outside Jinyang City, find the flag officer, and only say that General Ziyang has an order, let them buy your bar at full price." ”

The general was suspicious, but Yun went out directly. Han Lou, who was standing on the side, hesitated and said to him, "Don't you even believe the words of the general of the Chariot Cavalry of Bingzhou?" ”

Shi changed a big jump, and then remembered that the Mu of Bingzhou was surnamed Chu Ziyang, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

And Han Lou rolled his eyes, ran out of the house directly, and went to the next door, "Ayan, come with me, I'll take you to see Uncle Zhou." ”

Yun and Wang Yue rode slowly on the road, and Yun said to Wang Yue: "After listening to the experience of Shichang today, it can be said that this person's misfortune makes me know that I am lucky to be from the state." ”
