Tai'an mountain city is one, but the city is not big, the royal car comes, so the city has become the residence of the emperor and the accompanying hundred officials, and the people and merchants in the city have all vacated the land and temporarily lived outside the city.

Several large camps were built outside the city, and countless tents were erected.

More than 300,000 officials, soldiers, people, scholars, businessmen, etc., who came with them, were very lively on the neatly planned ground.

A long pole carries an apricot yellow pennant with a big wine character on it.

Below, a space enclosed by a curtain of cloth filled with a dozen sets of tables and chairs. An old man with a white beard, with his son and daughter-in-law, sells wine here.

The three sons of this old man are more wooden than the other, but the three daughters-in-law are one by one, especially when they gag with those who come to drink, they are very handy.

Because their business is very good, many men come to drink. Naturally, it is impossible to sell any very good liquor, that is, the dregs of soju sweat brewed from the lees of the sellers, or the second pot head brewed from sorghum.

It's all strong enough but relatively cheap wine, with some fried beans or dried tofu, sour bamboo shoots, or some cooked food such as pig's head meat, it's really pleasant, of course, take advantage of a few little proprietresses, although it's just a few words of verbal cheapness, it's enough for these people to be happy for a long time.

A few of the concubines also seemed to be accustomed to seeing each other, smiling and slapping back at the outstretched hands, and scolding back at those who took advantage of the verb, but the more this happened, the happier the rude men became. And the old man and his three sons seemed to be out of sight, and only cared about drinking wine or cutting pig's head meat and mixing cold vegetables.

Most of the people who eat and drink here are those who work hard in the team, or the coachman is a laborer, etc., one by one, when they have a little free, they come out in three or five, most of them are stout and burly, and their language is vulgar, and some guys, in the cold winter season, can drink two or two wines, and then tear off the clothes on their chests, revealing the large black chest hair.

The wine is strong enough, the food is delicious enough, and there are a few young women to tease, so the men naturally like to patronize it.

While eating, drinking, and laughing, someone lifted the curtain and came in, but it was more than a dozen men in Mobei leather robes, all tall and burly, and they looked like Hu people.

The first one had a big belly and sniffed his nose.

"That's the taste, I just like this kind of wine, serve me wine."

A woman stepped forward with a smile, "Oh, this is a distinguished guest, but we only have ordinary wine here, not those famous wines." ”

"I don't like any famous wine, I am used to drinking this kind of wine here in Mobei, so I have to burn the knife and have some snacks, rest assured, the money will not be less for you."

As he spoke, the big man took out a piece of pork kidney silver and threw it on the table.

That piece of silver weighed at least five taels.

The woman was startled.

Nowadays, although Daqin does not limit copper coins and silk silk to currency transactions, it also uses gold and silver, and the available ones are minted gold dragon coins and silver dragon coins, which are rare for such large silver ingots.

"What? Inadequate? ”

As he spoke, the big man took another piece from his bosom and threw it in front of the woman, "Hurry up and get wine." ”

Ten taels of silver, according to today's water card, at least 20 yuan can be exchanged for money, their wine here is not expensive, even if they drink enough and add a few snacks, it will not exceed 100 yuan, this time throw her 20,000 yuan, how many days do you have to do business.

"Yes, yes, I'll get a drink for the guest officer right away, wait a minute."

The woman hastened to pick up the money, and did not forget to take it in her hand and look at it carefully.

The trade of Daqin flourished, the people's trade increased, and the money shortage became heavier, so the imperial court increased the minting of copper coins into the market, and also began to mint gold and silver coins into the market to alleviate the money shortage.

But the output of gold, silver and copper in Daqin is not high, so the price of gold and silver has risen again and again. Originally, the silver was discounted by one or two for one thousand and six, but now it is two thousand straight money.

A silver coin is one tael, but it contains only eight percent of silver, and the same is true for gold coins, but a gold coin is still worth ten times, and a silver coin is still worth two times.

Such a piece of sterling silver, take it to the bank or gold shop, but more than 20 times.

The woman smiled and handed the two ingots to her father-in-law.

The old man glanced at it twice, and then directly brought a jar of wine to her, "The best two pots have not been mixed with any water." ”

The eldest son of the old man glanced at those Hu people, and said in a low voice, "A group of turtles from the north of the desert can't be separated from the goods." Ten taels of silver can buy two jars of fine wine. ”

The old man ignored his son's words, he had been careful since the group of Hu people came in, the pot-bellied Hu man was by no means an ordinary Hu merchant or the like, this person had a fierce courage and a trace of the nobility of the superior, so he guessed that this might be the Mobei nobles who came to worship the Son of Heaven.

The old man scooped up a few pork intestines, pig lungs, pig hearts, and dried tofu from the brine and began to cut them. Although he was also a veteran, he had already returned to his hometown, and now his family has land, and there is a small wine shop in Tai'an City, and the emperor came, and their family vacated.

Taking advantage of the large number of people, they simply set up a curtain here, put tables and chairs, and continue to make a living under the guise of provoking.

Even if you sell this kind of cheap food and drink, you can make a lot of money in a day, and one day can be worth the past ten days.

Although the rough goods who come like to take advantage of their daughters-in-law, it is only verbal, and the old man doesn't care, after all, they are all small people in the market, and this is not a big deal.

Cutting the stew, he turned his head and looked at the tables and chairs, well, as soon as the Hu people came, they were already full, there were no vacant seats, today's business was really good, and when I met the generous Hu people, I could hold the usual number of days a day.

It's just that the good times don't last long.

There was a rush of footsteps, and suddenly the curtain around it was torn open.

The curtain was pulled open, and a few tables were brought down, and the people at the tables who were drinking happily immediately jumped up in dissatisfaction and cursed.

But then, after the curtain was torn open, twenty or thirty people suddenly jumped out.

The leader was a big man, dressed in a sheepskin robe, and took the lead in rushing in with a horizontal knife in his hand.

They were silent, but they were fierce.

The originally annoyed drinker suddenly scattered in fright.

Only the big-bellied bearded man who had just opened the seal and was smelling the aroma of wine in the altar snorted dissatisfiedly. Not only did he not run, but directly pulled out his waist knife, and the more than 20 people around him also immediately drew their knives and raised their bones.

The two groups of Hu people, without words, directly added swords to each other as soon as they looked at each other, and greeted each other desperately.

These people are fierce and bloody.

In the blink of an eye, four or five people had already fallen, and blood was splattered on the ground.

The big-bellied man slashed with a machete, and the head of one of the guys who rushed to the front was slashed away. And the man who took the lead in rushing in stabbed to death a big-bellied man's subordinates.

These people almost thought that their lives were in danger, no one retreated, no one fled, just slashed and killed with their heads shut.

The knife sees the flesh, and the trick is fatal.

The old man who sold wine stood aside with a kitchen knife, beckoning his son and daughter-in-law to stand back.

But the old man didn't leave.

"Grandpa, get out of here."

"You go, I still have to stay here, and when the fight is over, I have to find them to accompany me with the money for wine and food, the money for tables and chairs, and the money for cloth curtains and wine banners!" The old man had a kitchen knife in his hand, but his whole body exuded a fierce old man's anger, surprisingly no one dared to provoke him, maybe the two Hu people didn't care about other people.

In a few moments, the ground was already lying down.

The pot-bellied man was already dead next to him, and he was the only one left, and he was also stabbed several times and bleeding profusely.

The man sneered.

"Phew, Lao Tzu had a request before he died."

"Say it!" The crack man who led people in later was covered in blood, and there were still seven or eight people standing behind him at this time.

"Lao Tzu just bought a jar of good wine, and he hasn't had time to drink it yet, so it's not too late for Lao Tzu to drink wine and kill it."

As he spoke, he threw away the knife directly, then lifted the wine jar and poured it directly into his mouth, the wine flowed down in a loud stream, and the man drank in a big gulp.

drank a good drink and threw the wine jar away, "Happy, there is no loss in death." ”

"Then go die."

Dahan sneered, "Xue Yantuo's dog thieves, you will pay the price for your arrogance, where is this?" This is the foot of Mount Tai, it is the Son of Heaven who is near, but you dare to openly attack and kill my Hui Mission, and the saint will uphold justice for us! ”

The warrior Xue Yantuo, who was revealed to be identified, did not hide it, but stepped forward coldly, raised his knife in his hand, and cut off the head of the strong man.

"Damn Hui dog thief, even if I run to the ends of the earth, I will fulfill my oath and slash you, and now I have finally fulfilled my oath, Aya A-Niang and the brothers and sisters of the tribe, I have avenged you. The dog thief who slew you has been beheaded by me myself, and you can rest in peace. ”

Hurried footsteps were heard.

The battalion of the forbidden army arrived.

Shieldmen in bright light armor stood in front and surrounded the Xue Yantuos, followed by spearmen and crossbowmen.

"Get on your knees!"

The leaders of the team shouted loudly.

Xue Yantuo looked at these elite Great Qin Forbidden Army, smiled slightly, and threw the bloodied knife in his hand at his feet.

The seven or eight men behind him also threw down their weapons.

"Get on your knees!" All heads drank again.

Xue Yantuo knelt down with his head in his hands.

"Take it all!"

At this time, the old man walked out, "Wait a minute. ”

When the forbidden soldiers saw the old man coming with a kitchen knife, they immediately turned to him with knives, spears, bows and arrows.

"Who are you?" Seeing that this old man didn't look like a gang of these Hu people, he asked.

"Xiao Lao is the proprietor of this wine stall, these Hu people fight and kill, I don't want my own life, Xiao Lao'er can't take care of it, but he smashed Xiao Lao'er's wine stall, and he has to lose money."

They were all speechless, this old man really wanted money and didn't want to die.

"I used to be a soldier, and I fought the Turks in Mayi, and the wolf cubs I fought back then cried wolf howls and cried and begged for mercy, and there were also Xue Yantuo and Hui people." Old man said.

All heads were in awe.

"It turned out to be a senior."

At this time, the man from Xue Yantuo smiled and said, "Disrespectful, it turns out that you were also a warrior, and I ruined your stall just now, I'm really sorry, I still have some gold and silver on me, this waiter, please help me take it out and compensate for this." ”

Dutou took out the money bag, and handed the gold and silver money inside to the old man without ordering, "Compensation for you, but you have to go with us and record a confession." ”

The old man pulled the money bag and was very satisfied with the amount of gold and silver inside.

"Okay, let's go."

They all looked at the Xue Yantuo people, "Are you still laughing?" It's too late for you to cry in a while! ”

"I know what the consequences will be, but I don't regret it!" The man laughed.
