0011 Into town

In the Ming Dynasty, although it was not as short of horses as in the Song Dynasty. But a fat horse is not something that ordinary people can afford. Liu Pei is riding a jujube red horse, which is equivalent to driving a Maserati on the road! Everyone on the road knew that this person was either rich or expensive, and they all made way for him from afar, which was convenient for Liu Pei. Anyway, he didn't know how to ride a horse, but he just let the horse walk along the road by himself, and everyone let him not make trouble.

Liu Pei approached the Jinan City Gate along the main road. From afar, the gates were open. There was a constant stream of people entering and leaving the city gates. There were those who were empty-handed, those who carried luggage, those who carried burdens, those who carried carts, and those who carried goods from merchants. There was no army at the gate of the city, only two soldiers leaning against the gate with their spears. They didn't check the passers-by, and seemed to be more interested in collecting the gate fee, so they stared at a wooden box next to the door. Only occasionally Director Lan briefly interrogated a few words. A dozen other soldiers dozed against the wall not far away. These soldiers have yellow faces and thin muscles, and their hair is disheveled. The red fat jacket on his body was also in tatters. The awake man was also leaning against the wall listlessly, without the slightest appearance of a soldier.

Liu Pei looked at the appearance of these soldiers, and knew why Jinan City was blown down by Houjin back then. With the appearance of these soldiers in front of them, it is impossible to win the battle! But Liu Pei felt that this matter had nothing to do with him. Now the most important thing for him is how to get into the city gates.

After approaching the city gate, Liu Pei got off his horse and led his horse over. When the city gate was close at hand, Liu Pei did not rush into the door. Instead, he stood by the side of the road and pretended to be waiting for someone.

After standing for a while, Liu Pei turned his head and waved impatiently to the soldier closest to him at the door. The soldier was startled when he saw Liu Pei greeting him, and he was stunned for a moment before he dragged his spear and walked over hesitantly. It is estimated that I am still wondering what this noble son has to order.

Before Liu Pei spoke, he took out a small silverfish and threw it at the soldier. The soldier subconsciously stretched out his hand to take it, and when he saw what he was doing, his eyes widened, and he looked at Liu Pei at a loss.

The salaries of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty were already very low. Soldiers in those strategic locations can get more. If there's a battle, there's a bit of a silver reward. Moreover, they have to bear the double deduction of civil officials and superiors. As for those areas that were not important, the soldiers' salaries were lower. Ming's "Wujin County Chronicle" said that the local "recruiter has one cent of daily silver", which means that the annual salary is less than 4 taels of silver. So when this soldier saw this little silverfish at first glance, his soul flew out of the sky, and the other soldiers would only stare at the silver, and they would care if Liu Pei had a way to guide them!

Liu Pei said impatiently: "I made an appointment with my friend to meet here, but he never arrived, so I won't wait for him." In a moment, if someone comes here and waits for someone, you tell him that I'm in the city, understand? ”

The soldier nodded again and again as if he had woken up from a dream at this moment, and said, "Understood! The little one understands! I just don't know what that man looks like? ”

Liu Pei led the horse to the cave of the city gate, and said at the same time: "It's a man in a green robe like me." However, he was in his thirties and had three locks of short hair. ”

The soldier nodded again and again behind Liu Pei, and said, "Don't worry, the little one will definitely bring the words!" The big man goes all the way! ”

Liu Pei ignored him and led the horse directly into the city gate. It wasn't until he crossed the city gate that Liu Pei's heart relaxed. As long as you enter the city, it will not be a big problem. At this time, Liu Pei had the heart to appreciate the scenery of Jinan.

This Jinan city is worthy of being the capital of Dayi, and it is indeed very prosperous. The streets are full of people, and the cries of hawking come and go. The houses on both sides of the street are also spectacular.

Liu Pei led the horse to walk with the flow of people, enjoying the street scene by the way. I still thought about the good luck on the road this time, and there were no twists and turns. But Liu Pei didn't know that this time was close to the end of the Ming Dynasty, and all disciplines had already collapsed, and no one strictly enforced the law. During the Taizu period, merchants were also forbidden to wear silk satin, and at this moment the streets are full of wealthy merchants wearing silk robes. If Liu Pei had worn it to the Ming Taizu period, no matter how well he disguised himself, he would have been arrested and imprisoned long ago!

Liu Peixin walked reinedly for a while. I found that there was a big signboard on the street in front of me, which read the words Yuelai Inn. Liu Peixin said, there are so many Yuelai Inns! I don't know how many Yuelai Inns I watched in movies and TV series, but I didn't expect that there was also a Yuelai Inn in Jinan. But it looks like this store is not small, it meets the requirements, so let's stay here!

Thinking of this, Liu Pei led the horse and walked towards the inn. As soon as I arrived at the door of the inn, two guys came out of it. A tall guy smiled and asked, "Childe is going to stay in the hotel?" We're a 100-year-old shop! There is a cross-courtyard, there is an upper room! The chef's skills are also good, and he can cook northern and southern dishes! ”

Liu Pei didn't wait for him to finish, he took out a small string of copper coins from the saddle bag and threw it over, and said, "I want to make arrangements across the courtyard, help me carry the baggage, and then feed the horse." ”

The guy flicked his wrist almost as soon as the copper coins arrived, and the string of copper coins entered his arms, which was simply neat! He stretched out his hand to take off Liu Pei's burden and led people to the store. The other guy led the horse to feed it.

Liu Pei followed the guy into the store, and the shopkeeper in the store also greeted him. Just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Liu Pei first. Liu Pei directly took out a silver from his arms and handed it over, saying, "Don't talk too much!" Ben Gongzi is already very tired from the road! Arrange a cross-courtyard, make four more local dishes, and don't drink alcohol. And hot water! I'm going to take a good bath and get some rest. ”

With this sentence, he sent back all the words of the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper touched the silver in his hand and knew that he had met a nobleman!

From the front, it was in the shape of a double-edged axe. From the side, it looks like a flat boat. One side is slightly convex and the other side is slightly concave. The raised surface is smooth as a mirror. Normally, due to the technical reasons of refining and pouring, there are often a lot of bubbles in the private casting silver pole in the Ming Dynasty, resulting in the bottom surface is not very smooth. And the silver side ordered by Liu Pei is extremely smooth. This is because the modern processing technology is too high, and you can't get bubbles out if you want to, so you can only make it smooth like this!

The recessed frontal of the silver stiff. In the middle are engraved four words: Liu's Tibetan silver. There is a line of words in each of the four corners: real flowers and fine silver. Liu's silver collection also has a net weight of 10 taels written underneath. There are also two gourds engraved on both sides, which are taken from the homonym of the word Fulu.

The shopkeeper took the silver ting in his hand and touched it, and he knew that this was not made by ordinary people! I'm afraid this son has a great background!
