One thousand one hundred fifty-two No one wants to go back to the way things were
Where have you ever seen this kind of battle?
He had money and could eat, so he quickly called his two sons and asked one son to help him cook, and the other son quickly went to other shops to buy some ingredients......
No, look at it like this, you have to buy cooked food and send it to you!
Then the son ran to several shops around and bought a lot of cooked meat and patties to deliver, which caused the surrounding shops to look sideways - who can eat it so much?
Guo Jin is not a professional in the end.
After gobbling up, he raised his head and found that everyone was basically still gobbling up, and it was almost over for him and Lu Yi, who was still elegantly wiping his mouth with a handkerchief.
Looking at the plate of bones and empty soup bowl in front of him, Guo Jin knew that Lu Yi had been with him for so many years, and the difference between him and everyone was that it was better to eat.
Eat a little bit and no less.
Turning his head, Guo Jin watched the shopkeeper sweating profusely, and the shopkeeper's son was busy carrying food everywhere, and the whole appearance of dying in order to make money was particularly funny.
After a while, a few men came to the store, as if they were relatives or something, and they came up to help serve this group of rice buckets, and the store could be regarded as retreating from the front line, finding a stool and sitting down to gasp, not to mention how funny it looked.
Guo Jin thought it was funny, so he went up to talk to the store.
"Store, how long have you been open in this store?"
The store naturally has questions to answer the owner's questions.
"Our store has been open for three years, three years ago, we came from our hometown with the migration team from Qingzhou to settle down, got a large piece of land and planted it together with the family, and then the government said that it can lend us money to do business, our family has many men, and there are many mouths to eat, this total, I still think it is more secure to open a store and multiple roads."
"From Qingzhou? Why did you leave your hometown and settle in Liangzhou? ”
Guo Jin became interested.
"What else can there be for this, we have given more land, and the house has been built for us, and the farm tools have been prepared for us, let's pick up and pick up, we can come to Liangzhou to live directly, and we are exempt from taxes for three years, this land is twice as big as ours in Qingzhou, and our family is also a small landlord."
The shopkeeper laughed.
"The land in Qingzhou is fertile, and the land in Liangzhou is barren, so you don't seem to take advantage of it?"
Guo Jin continued to ask.
"It's still cheap, and the food is more than in Qingzhou, not too much, but the land is big, the living is comfortable, and the taxes are less, and more importantly, in Qingzhou, many villagers have opened shops to do business, and our family has not kept up with the first wave, and we can't make money."
Later, our family summed up, this Liangzhou place is new, and there are definitely not so many people in Qingzhou doing business, let's put the skills we learned in Qingzhou to Liangzhou, maybe we can revitalize the days.
Now I see, it's really like this, there are not many people who open shops here, and there are not many delicious cooks, as soon as we come, it can be regarded as a good thing, and these merchants are willing to come to eat here. ”
The shop looked quite proud and seemed happy with their decision.
"The court gave you such a good promise, so you don't worry about the court playing scoundrels, deceiving you and not fulfilling your promise? Then won't you stay in Liangzhou, where you are not familiar with life, to end? ”
Guo Jin continued to ask.
The shop's complexion changed slightly.
"Guest, you can't talk nonsense, the current emperor does what he says, we are Qingzhou people, and that is also the first group of people to govern the people of the current emperor, the current emperor even teaches us to recognize the words, how can we not believe in the current emperor?"
"That's the same reason."
Guo Jin felt happy because his father had won the trust of ordinary people.
That's a rarity.
"If you want to say that the previous imperial court did this, we really have to weigh it, maybe we have to send our lives on the road, but the current emperor said this, we have to believe it, how many years have passed, the current emperor does what he says, and he will give whatever he says.
And, to be honest, this year is good, there are a lot of people coming and going, they are all going to do business, and businessmen have traveled from south to north, where have they never been? As soon as I inquired, I knew that the emperor built a road for us, the road was easy to walk, and there were post stations and inns on the side of the road, so that we could rest and eat.
Walking on the road, safe, don't worry about catching the thief, even if you carry a lot of property, you can rest assured, because everyone knows that if you follow the road, you won't meet the thieves, safety, our family went all the way, the road was smooth and steady, nothing happened. ”
The shopkeeper recalled as he spoke: "Oh, there are not a few years of such days, and if you count forward, there is a war all over the world, and when the emperor is not yet the emperor, who dares to run out?" I'm afraid that if I catch some of the soldiers, I won't be able to come back.
Or is the emperor good today, we are not afraid of those soldiers bullying us, and we are not afraid of encountering bandits on the road, the government is also reasonable, and we don't bully people casually, and the bullies have been taken by the emperor, right? So, if you don't believe what others say, can you still believe what the emperor says? ”
Guo Jin was even happier.
My father's things were not done in vain, the money was not spent in vain, the policies were not implemented in vain, and the gray hair on the sideburns was not born in vain......
Even if there are still injustices in the world, in the end, it can give ordinary people a safe life, so that they don't have to worry about losing their lives when they go south and north, so it is enough for them.
It was while chatting with the shopkeeper that Guo Jin realized what precious things his father had paid for this country and its people.
They talked a lot, very miscellaneous, and then talked about the origin of the meat in the store.
There are very large horse farms and horse herds in the Longyou area, and the number of them is almost more than one million.
War horses must be strong and tall, and when breeding horses, we must pay attention to the best of the best, choose excellent high-headed horses and high-headed horses, and then give birth to more excellent offspring.
During the period, it is necessary to introduce the excellent bloodlines of other breeds of war horses, so as to maintain the excellent bloodlines of the existing war horses, so as not to regress to the state of short limbs.
In this way, some small and short horses naturally have no way out.
This part was either given to the local government to be used as a horse for cultivating land or to pull a cart.
Or it can be handed over to the army to replenish the army's meat, and some of it is directly put into the people, so that the private merchants can pay for the purchase of these horses and use them for sale in the private liquor stores.
Horse meat is meat, if not so tasty, and because of its abundance, horse meat in this region is cheaper than mutton, and there are many people who are happy to eat it.
As long as the men of the forbidden army have meat to eat, they are happy, no matter what kind of meat they have, anyway, eating meat and drinking soup in a big bowl will not hinder them from doing anything.
Guo Jin chatted with the store very happily, while Lu Yi listened quietly on the side, and the rest of the rice buckets continued to work hard, making the store's family tired and sweating.
"Are taxes heavy?"
"It's much lighter than the previous dynasty, and of course a little less, no one will be unhappy."
"That's right...... With so many men in the family, do they feel that the food they have brought up is not enough to eat? ”
"Enough food is enough to eat, but I am worried that if there are more people in the future, it will not be enough to eat, so isn't this starting a small business?"
"It's okay, multiple livelihoods, multiple roads."
"Then you have to be more stable, you can't mess up, you can't make a military disaster, if you make a military disaster, everything will be over, really, a military disaster, ten years of hard work will be gone."
Guo Jin nodded.
"Rest assured, there will be no military disaster, and whoever wants a military disaster is against all of us."
"Hehe, that's too, no one wants to go back to the past these days."
The shopkeeper laughed, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the folds on his face turned into a chrysanthemum again.
