Tianyang Street in Hara Tan City, this street is the most prosperous street in Hara Tan City, and the City Lord's Mansion is at the end of this street.

Wang Mang led Wang Jingyan and his two daughters to walk around Haratan City for an afternoon, and then came to this street.

Wang Jingyan said: "Xianggong, although the business of this Haratan City is not developed, the overall security is relatively good, and the people are gathered and have a strong sense of honor. It seems that if you want to regain this place in the future, I'm afraid it won't be so easy, right?

And in our inquiry, the people here don't seem to have a good face for the Han Dynasty, and basically don't recognize themselves as being under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty. ”

Wang Mang replied: "Although this place is still nominally the territory of the Han Dynasty, in the final analysis, in the past few decades, the Han Dynasty has not officially managed this place. With the time difference of these decades, it is normal for the people here not to recognize the Han Dynasty, because the Han Dynasty has not given any benefits to the people here.

However, I will never allow me to leave here, even if I want to use force to suppress it in the end, I will not hesitate to do so. I don't care about other places, but the rivers and mountains of Dahan Kyushu must remain intact in my hands. ”

"I think it's hard." Wang Jingyan was skeptical of Wang Mang's idea, thinking that it would be difficult for Wang Mang to do this, unless he was washed in blood.

After all, once the people's will has dissipated since ancient times, it will be extremely difficult to reunite.

Shangguan Ningxuan secretly pondered in her heart, and had a little calculation.

She glanced around, then moved over to a jewelry shop.

When the shopkeeper saw a customer coming, he greeted him with a smile on his face.

"This girl, my jewelry here is one in a million good jewelry, the price is fair, you take a closer look. And I also make custom jewelry here, if you are not satisfied with these styles that have been created, we can customize them for you. ”

Shangguan Ningxuan nodded slightly, pointed to a bead flower and said, "Please help me bring that one over and let me take a closer look." ”

"Okay!" The shopkeeper followed Shangguan Ningxuan's gaze, took the beaded jewelry, and handed it to Shangguan Ningxuan.

Shangguan Ningxuan took a closer look and said with a smile: "This one is very good, the style is very novel." As she spoke, she put the beaded flower on her head.

The shopkeeper examined it and exclaimed, "Girl, this piece of jewelry matches your appearance, it is really the icing on the cake." ”

The shopkeeper laughed. Shangguan Ningxuan said: "Even if it's not good-looking, I'm afraid you won't say it directly, right?" ”

"Where, where." The shopkeeper replied: "Girl, on this street, who doesn't know my cow's temperament?" If it's good-looking, it's good-looking, if it's not good-looking, it's not good-looking, and I'm never perfunctory. If you don't believe me, just ask the shopkeeper of the other shops on the street. ”

What the shopkeeper of Niu Ren said was in his heart, this bead flower is indeed a good match for Shangguan Ningxuan. And if it doesn't match, he won't open his eyes and talk nonsense to fool people, but will honestly say his opinion.

Of course, this is also because Shangguan Ningxuan's appearance is the best in the world. What kind of beaded jewelry will add some brilliance to her hands. If you change to something that is not very outstanding, no matter how beautiful the beaded jewelry is, it will be in vain.

Shangguan Ningxuan looked at the bronze mirror and felt that it was very suitable. So he moved to Wang Mang's side and asked in a delicate tone: "Xianggong, what do you think of this jewelry?" ”

As soon as Wang Mang heard this, his bones were about to be crispy, and he couldn't wait to eat her immediately.

"You little goblin, you know how to tempt me, and you won't let me sleep at night, it's really a dead person."

After Wang Mang muttered a few times, he also carefully glanced at Shangguan Ningxuan as a whole, and then nodded, indicating that he agreed with the shopkeeper's statement.

"Xianggong, what are you talking about?"

Although Wang Mang's muttering voice was small, it still made Shangguan Ningxuan hear it. At that moment, her face turned red, and she said in an unkind tone: "Xianggong, you want a woman, then you go to that Ji Xue, I won't stop you." ”

Wang Mang saw her angry, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly came up and laughed: "Madam, where did you say?" I only have you and Jingyan in my heart, and there are absolutely no outsiders. You told me to go east, and I would never dare to go west. ”

"Hmph, count you as acquaintances." Shangguan Ningxuan snorted, not wanting to count Wang Mang here, for fear of losing Wang Mang's face. She said to the shopkeeper Niu Ren: "Shopkeeper, how much does this bead cost." ”

"Ten taels of silver." The shopkeeper replied.

"What, so expensive?" Shangguan Ningxuan exclaimed.

"That's a fair price." The shopkeeper explained: "This beaded flower is made by a master, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, otherwise it would not be so beautiful." And I dare to guarantee that if you sell ten taels here and sell it in the Han Dynasty, the price will definitely increase more than tenfold. ”

Wang Mang saw that Shangguan Ningxuan liked it, and hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper, wrap this jewelry for me, we bought it." Also, get me another one that is exactly the same, and I will buy it and give it to my second wife. ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "No, every piece of jewelry I have here is unique." ”

"Unique?" Wang Mang pulled Wang Jingyan and asked softly, "Jingyan, why don't you pick it yourself?" ”

Wang Jingyan shook his head and said, "I don't want it, I want you to pick it for me." If you pick one I don't like, it means that you don't have me in your heart. ”

"Okay, I'll pick it." Wang Mang happily agreed.

Shangguan Ningxuan didn't have time to talk nonsense with Wang Mang, she asked the shopkeeper: "Since your jewelry here is all treasures, why don't you get it to the Han Dynasty to sell?" If you sell it, won't you make more money? ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "It's too chaotic outside, it's not safe to go out." And as far as I know, the traitors of the Han Dynasty are now in power, and the people are not happy. If I take these jewels over there, I'm afraid that they will be snatched up by the big men before they are sold. ”

"How can you say that it is so serious." Shangguan Ningxuan said with a smile: "Actually, the three of me are from the Han Dynasty, and now that the Han Dynasty has the sage Wang Mang to preside over justice, the overall security is much better than before."

Maybe you don't know that since the sage Wang Mang entered the court as an official, he made drastic reforms, recuperated with the people, killed the ministers, Kuang Fu Sheji, led the army north to fight against the Xiongnu, and held the frontier. The people of the Han Dynasty were convinced and praised the saints. With this person in charge of the government, who would dare to mess around? ”

"Wang Mang?"

The shopkeeper Niu Ren replied: "I have heard of this person, and his name is also very loud here in Hara Tan City, and he is indeed a good official for the people. However, the current situation in the Han Dynasty seems to be very chaotic, and Lord Wang has no way to control the whole situation. And I've heard that many people want to put him to death. Now Lord Wang was forced by those people to lose his official position and retreat to Gansu.

Girl, think about it, even Lord Wang can't help those traitorous ministers, so it can be seen how chaotic and dangerous the Han Dynasty is? Outsiders rush over, just afraid that it will be difficult to survive. Of course, if Lord Wang completely controls the situation in the Han Dynasty, then I would be willing to go there to make a living. ”
