Chapter 14
Wearing a red jacket in the army, with a leather belt at the waist, a hair scarf on his head, and a small red flower on his sideburns.
This is a common attire for Daqi men, especially in the northwest.
However, Chen Shou is dressed like this, with his long figure, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and a three-point smile when the corners of his lips are not smiling, which is very flattering.
Especially the big girl and little daughter-in-law on the street, I can't help but look at it twice.
Chen Shou hugged him before and after, and took a dozen or so personal soldiers to the bazaar in Liangzhou City to purchase. Although he begged for his official uniform, the soldiers of Qin Fengying's camp did not have this treatment, and they were still wearing tattered clothes, which was a little cheaper.
Liangzhou City was originally a big city, even if it was under the jurisdiction of a military town, it was still prosperous and abnormal.
In particular, the Zhengxi General's Mansion itself is a big businessman, resulting in an endless stream of merchants coming and going here, and there are all ethnic groups.
At the crossroads in the west of the city, there is a silk shop, Chen Shou brought the little ones into the door, Zhao Hong brought him a chair with sharp eyes, stood behind him with a shout, pinched his waist and shouted: "Shopkeeper!" The shopkeeper came out, and we were in charge of procurement. ”
Chen Shou waved his hand, stretched out his palm to cover half of his face, and whispered backwards: "Keep a low profile, understand?" ”
Zhao Hong nodded as if he didn't understand, and it happened that the shopkeeper came out, and before he could say hello, Zhao Hong had already begun to scold: "You are the shopkeeper?" We'll keep you low-key, you know! ”
Chen Shou's face darkened, and he almost choked, and the shopkeeper's smiling face greeted him: "I understand, I understand, which battalion is this?" ”
"Qin Fengying!" Zhao Hong grabbed the words again.
The shopkeeper showed a smile that was the same, but he didn't slack off in the slightest, because everyone knew that Qin Fengying, who was not a bullshit before, is now the God of Wealth, responsible for the production of perfume.
Inevitably, Zhao Hong grabbed the words again, and Chen Shou stopped putting on a score, and said straight to the point: "Come on a few pieces of silk, the thinner the better." ”
The cost of making a mask is very low, what kind of cloth is used, but this is for the ladies and daughters, the main is a high-end market, the more expensive the material, the better, anyway, in the end, you can return to the capital, this money is those rich women, so you don't feel distressed.
The shopkeeper's heart moved, and he asked tentatively, "I don't know how many horses do you want, Lord Steward?" ”
"Long-term cooperation, a steady stream, good use will naturally order from you, although the lowest price is. I won't hide it from you, I will go to other stores for a while, compare the quality and price, and then decide where to buy from. ”
The shopkeeper immediately seized the business opportunity, lowered his voice and asked, "Is there a way to make a fortune in the General's Mansion again?" ”
"I'm afraid this is not easy to disclose, right?"
"Understood, the villain understood, and then went and fetched you the finest silk. Hey... If you have the chance, don't forget to bring the villain. ”
Chen Shou was very satisfied, and smiled and picked up a tabloid on the table to read.
The Great Qi Dynasty had newspapers, in fact, this thing has been around since the Tang Dynasty. Chen Shou is more sure that he has predecessors, and to a certain extent, he has changed the original historical trajectory.
In today's Great Qi Dynasty, any family with a little money will generally subscribe to a newspaper.
The content of the newspaper is very boring, and most of them are new poems written by some dignitaries.
It is said that in the Southern Tang Dynasty on the other side of the river, the newspaper is called wonderful, and there are already entertainment tabloids. Specializing in collecting anecdotes and lace news, they have maintained a large group of unscrupulous writers and paparazzi for a long time in order to sell.
The paparazzi showed their own powers, and there were those who specifically asked the eunuchs and palace maids to inquire about the emotional entanglement between the emperor and his seventy-two concubines, that is, the so-called "internal exploration"; There are also those who go to various ministries of the DPRK and the Central Committee to inquire about the appointment and dismissal of officials, whether they have accepted bribes, and whether they have raised a little wife in the outer room, that is, the so-called "provincial detectives"; There are also those who go to various yamen, especially prisons, to inquire about the progress of homicide cases, that is, the so-called "government detectives" ......, so the popularity of the tabloids is far greater than that of the newspapers.
The atmosphere of the Southern Tang Dynasty has always been talked about by the men of Daqi, and it is rumored that the atmosphere there is very open, and there are orchids from various countries from the sea, which is simply a paradise for rich men.
In addition to the army fighting, the Southern Tang Dynasty was overwhelmed everywhere, especially the rich in the country, and their seafaring ships could go to the distant Dashi, connecting Dongying and Goryeo, and there were rich merchants everywhere.
In particular, the Great Qi Dynasty gradually gave up the national policy of unifying the southern crossing formulated by Taizu because of the border troubles and the emperor's reluctance, which made the Southern Tang Dynasty more extravagant and wealthy.
After a while, the shopkeeper came out with a piece of silk, and Chen Shou didn't understand it very well, so he bought a small piece, and then asked the soldiers to mark which store it belonged to, and continue to go out.
After a whole day, the tired dozen or so people were out of breath, and they no longer had the same spirit as in the morning.
Chen Shou glanced at these young soldiers, and they were really tired, so he said: "Everyone has worked hard today, find a place for everyone to have a good meal, I will come to treat you." ”
"How can we ask the steward to pay money, we should be filial to the steward, brothers, everyone scrape together the silver, we invite the steward to eat flowers and wine!" Zhao Hong said stiffly.
Chen Shou slapped him on the head and scolded: "How old are you to have small bean sprouts, just learn from others to eat flower wine, and get out of the egg as soon as possible." ”
Everyone laughed, and followed Chen Shou into a tavern, although it didn't look big, it was still clean.
"A pot of duck blood vermicelli soup, a pot of wine, half a catty of mutton, a pair of pig pancreas."
Just listening to the names of these dishes, more than a dozen soldiers had water in their mouths and their eyes lit up.
A group of people sat down around Chen Shou, although they were reluctant to pay for it, but they had to invite the steward to eat today, otherwise they would not be allowed to wear small shoes in the future.
After eating and drinking, everyone gathered together, bowed their heads and took out money to make up the number.
Chen Shou looked a little sad, these people's fathers and brothers are actually the biggest contributors to the stability of Liangzhou City until now.
But the situation is like this, and at a young age, they have to start planning for their families and running around.
Chen Shou stood up, secretly settled the account, and said, "It's not early, you all go home, don't be late tomorrow." ”
"Shopkeeper, bring another pot of duck blood vermicelli soup, divide it into thirteen portions and pack it for them to take away."
"I've been busy outside for a day, it's still early, bring it back so that your wife won't be busy again."
These pro-soldiers all looked at Chen Shou in amazement, and a few of them had a mist in their eyes, and they were a little moved in their hearts.
In this way, it is not good to shirk again, anyway, I will listen to the steward and serve him in the future.
Thirteen little soldiers were about to leave with the soup, Chen Shou stopped Zhao Hong and asked, "Do you have props for brewing wine at home?" ”
"Naturally, there is." Zhao Hong didn't know why the steward suddenly asked this, and replied without thinking: "This is an ancestral eating craft. ”
"Let's go, take me to see it."
