Out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Feng Yong looked up at the sky, only to see the spring day rippling, the sun shining on his body, extremely warm.

The streets and alleys of Jincheng are quite lively, but there seems to be a sense of worry and urgency in this bustle.

The news of the Southern Expedition seemed to be pressed on everyone's heads in Jincheng like a black cloud.

This is just a sigh of relief from the defeat of Yiling in the previous three years, and the imperial court is going to use troops again, to say that there is no worry and fear in my heart, it is false.

Feng Yong took five or six parts and walked through this ancient city.

When I walked to the door of a grain store, I saw that there were not many people entering and leaving the storefront, and I stretched out my head to look inside, and there were many sacks inside, which looked like it should be grain.

There were also bags that had been opened to reveal the white rice inside.

"Shopkeeper, what is the price of food in this store?"

"Nobleman, this stone of wheat costs a tassel, and if it is a grain, it will be more expensive, and then add half a tassel."

The shopkeeper of the grain store saw that Feng Yong was dressed extraordinarily, and there were several parts behind him, knowing that this person's identity must be unusual, he hurriedly smiled and greeted him.

"This price...... Feng Yong raised his eyebrows, "Compared with the year before, it is a little worse." ”

"It's far away, the year before last, I had to go to three and one stone."

With a questioning look on his face, the shopkeeper looked at Feng Yong carefully, not knowing what he was thinking.

Feng Yong touched his body, took out a woolen cloth ticket, and showed a look of remorse on his face, "This ticket hasn't been changed yet, it seems that it can't be bought today, and I'll come back later." ”

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Noble and slow!" The shopkeeper's sharp eyes saw the ticket in Feng Yong's hand, and he hurriedly stopped and stepped forward, "What is the noble man holding in his hand is the woolen cloth ticket in Hanzhong?" ”

"Exactly, what?"

"Can you let the villain take a look?"

"Give."

Feng Yong handed over the ticket.

The shopkeeper took it carefully, first put it in front of his nose and smelled the ink, and then carefully looked at the words "Fifty high-quality woolen cloths, change them when you meet".

I turned it over and looked at the back, only to see that the back read: "May 30 expires at the time of unitary, and it will be invalid after expiration."

There is also a line of strange symbols in the bottom corner that you can't read.

"It's true. This kind of paper, this kind of writing and ink, others can't imitate it, and it has not expired, so it can be used. ”

The shopkeeper nodded and said.

Feng Yong was slightly dissatisfied, "You are so unreasonable to speak. Go to the façade of Jincheng to change woolen cloth, this ticket can be exchanged for fifty woolen cloths, how is it not true? ”

Nonsense, this is the third batch of tickets that I personally watched printed, how can it be fake?

"Yes, yes, the villain is cheap, and he said the wrong thing."

The shopkeeper smiled and handed the ticket back, "If you really want to buy food, you don't need to change the cloth, you can buy it directly with this ticket." ”

"Oh? Just such a piece of paper, directly exchanging food? ”

Feng Yong flicked the ticket with his finger and asked.

The shopkeeper watched Feng Tu Turtle play the ticket, his voice was crisp, clicking, his eyelids jumped, and he was really worried that the Lang Jun in front of him had broken the ticket - this is worth fifty woolen cloths!

"You can change it!"

The shopkeeper nodded again and again, "If you use this ticket to buy food, the villain can be cheaper." ”

"Oh? What is the rationale for this? ”

Feng Yong asked strangely.

"If you really want to hear it, please go inside and drink some water, and explain it in detail."

Seeing the ticket in Feng Yong's hand, the shopkeeper finally believed that the person in front of him was really a high roller.

Who doesn't know the woolen cloth ticket in Hanzhong, now it is hard to find a ticket in Jincheng, a ticket with a face value of fifty woolen cloth, not to mention a hundred other fabrics.

If you have a woolen ticket in your hand, it won't be a simple person.

"Well, I'll hear what you have to say."

Feng Yong walked into the store, sat down under the greeting of the shopkeeper, and asked, "Why is it cheaper to buy with this ticket?" ”

The shopkeeper personally poured a bowl of water and sent it to Feng Yong, and then he retreated and sat opposite Feng Yong, "Noble people don't often come to Jincheng?" ”

"How do you know?"

"If you often go to Jincheng, how can you not know that this Hanzhong wool cloth ticket is the best in Jincheng?"

The shopkeeper explained with a smile, "A ticket with a ticket that says how much wool cloth can be exchanged is how much it can be exchanged, and it is not ambiguous at all." This woolen cloth is a rare commodity, there is no way, even if you want to buy it, you can't buy it. ”

There are only a few hundred looms, and the raw materials are still seasonal, and they are not continuously supplied throughout the year, and the shipments are small.

The woolen cloth that can be made is to be supplied to the whole Han Dynasty, and a considerable part of it is estimated that a considerable part of it was circulated to Wei and Wu by Zhuge Old Demon last year, which is of course a rare commodity.

Rare goods will have a premium, of course.

"I see."

Feng Yong nodded, "According to you, if you take this ticket, won't all the shops in Jincheng go?" ”

"Don't say it's the whole Jincheng, it's some county towns near Jincheng, so you can also go there."

The shopkeeper said with a smile, with a look of regret on his face, "But it's close to Jincheng, and it's not good if it's farther away." After all, this ticket has a time limit, and after the time limit, it will be invalid, and I don't know what the people in Hanzhong think. ”

What else can I think about, of course, is because we need to continuously improve papermaking technology and printing technology.

Although it seems that no one can imitate it now, it does not mean that you can rest easy.

Only when the three technologies of ink-making, paper-making, and printing are fully mature, and it is extremely difficult for others to imitate, can it be possible to release this obsolete period.

"That's not something we outsiders can know." Feng Yong smiled, and then said, "In that case, then I'll buy it directly with this ticket." ”

As he spoke, he handed over the ticket just now, and continued, "I really just came from out of town, and I am not too familiar with Jincheng. I heard that the prime minister was going to go south, and I thought that the price of food in Jincheng was going to rise like the year before last. I didn't expect it to be so cheap. ”

"Don't dare to go up."

The shopkeeper stretched out his hand to take the ticket, his heart was extremely happy, and when he heard Feng Yong say this, he was willing to explain a few more words, "The year before last, it was because it rose too hard, but who knew that it was a rumor, and in the end, many people lost money and closed the door." ”

"Last year, there was a big harvest of grain in Shudi, and everyone was not short of food. Besides, the ...... of Nanzhong"

The shopkeeper pouted to the south, and his eyes showed disdain, "How many laborers were sold to Hanzhong last year?" The rebels can't even beat the militia people, and as soon as the army drives over, does it need to be said that the victory or defeat will be won? ”

said, shaking his head, "So the price of this grain can't rise that much." Today's price is still because it is only available when the green and yellow are not available. If the nobleman comes two or three months late, I am afraid that it will be lower. ”

Feng Yong nodded and said, "In the past two years, Dahan has indeed harvested a lot of grain. That Feng Langjun...... Hey! ”

didn't say anything thoroughly, just glanced at the shopkeeper.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper's expression changed, and he smiled dryly, "This Feng Langjun...... Hehe! ”

Feng Tu Turtle saw that the shopkeeper also learned from him and said this, but he refused to say more, and couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart, I don't want to talk about myself, what do you mean by this?

But he didn't know that this shopkeeper was the same, and he didn't know how to comment on Feng Langjun, who had a mixed reputation in the mouth of this Jincheng person.

If you want to say that he is good, as a grain seller, this shopkeeper must not be able to speak, and he does not dare to raise the price of grain after the war, is it not due to him?

Where's the good?

But if you want to say that he is bad, you can't say it in front of others.

How many people were able to eat because of him last year, and if he scolded people here, if it spread, would this grain store still be opened?
