Shopkeeper Liu heard that the two new customers wanted to cover their remaining 'population', but only 700 guan, and said categorically: "This is too little, you tell them, at least 1,200 guan!" Nothing less sells! ”

The guy said yes and went outside to talk to the customer. But Xiao Zhuo stopped and asked a few words, and said to the shopkeeper Liu: "Lao Liu, you should personally talk to the guests about such a big deal." And I asked the guy, those two people are like military generals. Although there are officials everywhere in the capital, they can't be too contemptuous. ”

"Since the sixth master said so, I'll go over and ask." Shopkeeper Liu was actually quite unimpressed with Xiao Zhuo's words. If it was really a high-ranking official who came to buy a slave, the man would have told him. If you don't mention it like now, it's certainly not a high-ranking official. There are as many officials in the capital as dogs, and the middle-aged man who buys vegetables in the vegetable market may be an official. What's more, they are still two military generals, and their business has nothing to do with the army, so it is not worth caring about at all.

But since Xiao Zhuo said it, he would not go against Xiao Zhuo's intentions. Shopkeeper Liu instructed the other two men to prepare an upper room for these two handsome 'populations', and then go out to entertain customers.

Xiao Zhuo did not take Xiao Tong out with him. Although he attaches more importance to these two officials than Shopkeeper Liu, in fact, it is just like that, and it is not worth him to go out to entertain him personally.

He continued to inspect the courtyard, and looked at a few of the houses that had been prepared for the 'population', and was about to look at them again, when a young man came running up to him and whispered something in his ear. Xiao Zhuo exclaimed in surprise: "There is such a big source!" Then he didn't have time to say anything to Xiao Tong, so he hurriedly walked out.

Xiao Tong was very surprised: "Didn't you say that they were just two ordinary generals? Why is Uncle Six so excited all of a sudden? What are they? Curious, he followed him.

Xiao Zhuo walked much faster than him, and when he walked to the front storefront, Xiao Zhuo was talking to the two generals humbly, as if he was treating a high-ranking official of the second or third grade. I only heard him say: "......, it's just a few slaves, and it doesn't cost much for us to buy them from Nanyang, and Commander Zhang asked you to give you six hundred guan." ”

"Isn't 600 too little?" The person known as Commander Zhang said with some hesitation: "I heard that even if it is a slave from Nanyang, more than 30 people have to be more than 1,000 people. ”

"That was another time. It's the first month of the new year, and there are few people who buy slaves, so we can't make small profits but sell them quickly? Sell it at a lower price? We keep these slaves, and we have to pay for them to eat, to see a doctor, to give them a bedding to sleep, and to sell them a day sooner, and we can save a day's money. ”

Xiao Tong knew that Xiao Zhuo was completely lying. Although he didn't care about the business at home, he had also heard that ordinary slaves had little money to spend every day, and that to see a doctor was to get some medicine casually, and if he could survive it, he could continue to sell it, and if he couldn't hold it, it was just a roll of straw mats thrown into the mass grave.

He was even more curious about it. 'Who is the person who can make the sixth uncle so cautious?' ’

This person known as Commander Zhang is Zhang Lun, the commander of the right guard of the security guard, and the other person who came with him was Yu Yao, the commander of Huailaiwei.

After the two of them followed Yun Zhi to capture Tuohuan and Alutai in Lanzhou, Yun Xi wanted to hold a prisoner sacrifice ceremony in the capital after winning the Battle of Yiwu, and it happened that the security guard and Huai Laiwei also participated in the Battle of Yiwu, and after Yun Xi rewarded them, he asked the two of them to lead some soldiers into Beijing to participate in the prisoner sacrifice ceremony.

Of course, the two of them happily agreed. For Yu Yao, the prosperity and wealth of the capital are known to the whole Ming Dynasty, and he naturally knows it, but he has never been there, of course he wants to see it; For Zhang Lun, he had seen the prosperity of the capital and didn't care about it, but his favorite daughter was married to Qin Song, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he hadn't seen him for several years, and he had long wanted to ask to enter Beijing to meet him, and he was naturally very happy to hear that Yun Xi allowed him to enter Beijing.

After that, they returned with Yun Xi's fleet, and on the seventeenth day of the lunar month, they came to the capital, and a few days later they participated in the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners.

After Yunxi, they were rewarded according to their merits in the battle of Yiwu and the battle of Lanzhou, and each was given ten horses of silk and satin, a jade pendant, an additional year's Yulu, and a second-grade Wusan rank, and they were kept in the capital. Some of their subordinates have also been left behind, but they have not yet arranged errands.

Yu Yao was even happier. Nothing else, but staying in Beijing and giving the second-rank martial arts rank, the representative will appoint them as the second-rank military attachés in the capital, most of them are the governors of the second grade, and this one thing is enough to make him ecstatic. It seems that the governor of the third grade has only been promoted by two levels, but more than ninety percent of the commanders in the country cannot cross these two levels, and even if he eats the second grade, he will be a commander all his life.

But Zhang Lun is not as optimistic as him. Qin Song said to him personally: "Father-in-law, Your Majesty set up a civilian military attache a few years ago, and he made a big show of looking for skilled tailors to design new official uniforms for them. If you and Yu Yao are in Beijing, you will most likely be appointed as officials in the new system. ”

"Although I can't guess what His Majesty thinks, and His Majesty hasn't revealed any information to his son-in-law, it must be completely different from the current system. The operation of such a new system is bound to have many problems at the outset. At that time, those who are dissatisfied with the new system will definitely take the opportunity to impeach you, and the emperor may not be able to shield you. ”

"And the son-in-law has been the commander of the Jinyi Guard all these years, and there must be people who are dissatisfied with the son-in-law, and there will be no less. Now His Majesty still trusts the son-in-law, and they don't dare to impeach the son-in-law directly, so they will stare at the brother-in-law and father-in-law, and if they catch a mistake, they will be impeached. ”

"Therefore, it is not a good thing to enter Beijing as a military attache at this time."

"Even if it's as you say, what can I do?" Zhang Lun sighed: "Can I still ask Your Majesty to resign and return to my hometown?" "If he is an ordinary military general, it is nothing if he resigns and returns to his hometown even if he is not approved, but he is Qin Song's father-in-law, and the emperor will inevitably not think much about resigning and returning to his hometown.

"It's not going to happen." Qin Song, who Zhang Lun could think of, naturally thought of it, but there was no way to solve it. "For today's plan, we can only be cautious everywhere after taking office."

Zhang Lun also became a little worried because of this. But since he was basically determined to stay in the capital as an official, he also had to buy a house and slaves, so he came with Yu Yao to buy slaves.
