Before the Chinese New Year, Yang Tian finally looked forward to Sun Qing's letter, Sun Qing wrote that he had settled down in Suizhou, and rented a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere with the money Yang Tian gave him, and immediately started the work of making white sugar, and it is expected that a part of the white sugar will be transported to Chang'an for sale in February or March tomorrow.

Yang Tian put his mind at ease, peace of mind at home for the New Year, the news of victory continued to come from the front line of the Zhou army, the people of Chang'an were rejoicing, after the Battle of Pingyang, the Qi army had no decent resistance, although many people still remember their relatives on the front line, but they can also rest assured that the New Year, but Chang'an City is less so young and strong, this year still seems a little bleak.

In February of the sixth year of Jiande of the Great Zhou Dynasty, news came from the front that the Zhou army had captured Yecheng, the capital of the Qi State, and that Gao Wei, the queen of Qi, and his son were also captured by the Zhou army on the way to Qingzhou, and the Qi State had been declared extinct.

This news made the people of Chang'an stunned, the founding of the country was earlier than the Great Zhou, and the Qi State that had been fighting with the Great Zhou for 20 years perished like this, if it were not for the emperor personally leading the troops in this expedition, I am afraid that some people would suspect that it was false news.

Yang Tian came to the small courtyard of the green monkey's house again, there were five people standing in front of him, after several months of treatment, the injuries of the three young people have been completely healed, they are all torn apart on the street since childhood, and they don't even have a serious name, Yang Tian named them Yang Jin, Yang Mu, and Yang Lei respectively.

"Yang Shi and Yang Miao are still young, I want them to follow me, and they can also learn some skills, and the three of you are already adults, I don't know what plans you have in the future?"

The three of them thought that Yang Jin was a little older, and Yang Jin replied: "Childe, the three of us are usually brave and fierce, except for a little strength, I really don't know what to do?" ”

Yang Tiandao: "Fighting bravely and ruthlessly is also a kind of ability, are you willing to listen to my arrangement?" ”

In the past few months, Yang Tian has provided them with food and shelter, and helped them heal their injuries, and the three of them have regarded Yang Tian as the master, and said in unison: "Please arrange it." ”

"Okay, after a few **** give you a sum of money, you can go to the army."

"Join the army?" All three hesitated.

"Why, don't you want to, do you still want to tear it up for the rest of your life, I don't know if you will fall in the stinky ditch one day, although it is dangerous to join the army, but in the end it is the right way, maybe there will be a day when you will return home."

Seeing that Yang Tian's tone was flat, the three of them didn't know if they were angry, and they were silent for a while, and Yang Jincai said: "Since Gongzi asked us to join the army, we will join the army." ”

Although they didn't dare to think that Yang Tian could also summon them into the Guogong Mansion, they just hoped that they would be satisfied by running errands for Yang Tian in Chang'an.

Looking at the expressions of the three of them a little unhappy, Yang Tian said comfortingly: "Don't worry, now that my Great Zhou soldiers are strong and strong, and it is expected to dominate the world, it is the time to make meritorious contributions, as long as you are clever and there is not much risk, I will use financial resources to help you, as for the rest, it depends on your own efforts." ”

"Yes."

These three Yang Tian were originally by the way, originally wanted to use the manpower when making sugar in Chang'an, but now they have sent Sun Qing and Qing Monkey to Suizhou, the three of them have nowhere to arrange, they can't let them eat rice, sending them to join the army is the best choice, if they lose their lives, just a little investment in front of them is in vain, if there is really a profit, it may be a big help in the future. Yang Tian thought so.

A few days later, Yang Jin and the three of them took dozens of money given by Yang Tian on the road, and went north to join the army, although the emperor of Qi has been caught, but the Zhou army will continue to attack the city that refuses to surrender, and send troops to occupy the city that has been defeated.

After the three of them left, Yang Shi and Yang Miao were taken to the Guogong Mansion by Yang Tian, which was regarded as the lack of Sun Qing and Qing Monkey, although some people in the Guogong Mansion were surprised that Sun Qing and Qing Monkey suddenly disappeared, but this small courtyard was decided by Yang Tian himself, and the Dugu clan only cared about it once, Yang Tian casually said that they were not suitable for the Guogong Mansion, and they were dismissed and pushed over.

Next, Yang Tian resumed his previous life, in addition to practicing martial arts in the Guogong Mansion and reading military books, he would often go out for a walk, sometimes go to Uncle Hao's mutton soup stall to sit and drink a bowl of fragrant mutton soup, Uncle Hao had no children and no daughters, after the injury was healed, Yang Tian originally wanted to take him to live in the mansion, but Uncle Hao resolutely refused, he had to rely on his own skills to eat, Yang Tian had to be by him.

Another month passed, and on this day, Yang Tian and Yang Ying were sitting in front of Uncle Hao's stall drinking fragrant mutton soup, and heard two diners next to them quietly discussing: "Do you know, the Wanxingtai business in front of it has a new kind of snow sugar, which is really as white as snow, and when you put it in your mouth, it can sweeten people's tongues." ”

"If there is such a thing, then dare to be kind, hurry up and buy it and try it." All of you here are good eaters, and you are immediately moved when you hear it.

The man said disdainfully: "Buy, with your family background, can you afford it, it is for the nobles to eat, I heard that it is imported from overseas, and the price is in the sea." ”

One person said unconvinced: "Isn't it just sugar, ten cents can buy several catties, and if it's expensive, I'll pay twenty cents." ”

"Twenty Wen, you just want to eat snow candy, tell you, this number." With that, the man stretched out a slap in the face.

"Fifty Wen, I don't believe in this evil yet, if you really say it so well, then I'll buy it and try it."

"Fifty? Pull it down, a full 500 wen a pound. ”

The people around suddenly took a breath of cool air, these people spent a penny at the mutton soup stall, and then bought a few pancakes for three or four yuan next door, and they could eat a full meal, and no one would buy the five hundred wen a pound of snow sugar for the sake of taste.

"Zhu Tousan, you can blow it, since it's so expensive, I don't believe you've tasted it."

"That's it, Zhu Tousan, you're also hearsay, can you taste it?" The people around him immediately coaxed. Zhu Tousan's voice gradually drowned out.

Yang Tian's heart moved when he heard this, this snow candy finally arrived, Yang Ying looked at Yang Tian with blank eyes: "Brother, let's go take a look, okay?" ”

Yang Tian put down the two coins and made a gesture to Uncle Hao: "Uncle, let's go to the front and have a look." ”

"This kid, why do you give money again." Uncle Hao said helplessly, and seeing that Yang Tian had already walked away, he had to put away the two copper coins.
