"As far as we know, there were actually two battles. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info In the first battle, Lord Taishou was in a place called Kyaukpingdu, learning from Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, and fought against the water, breaking the 100,000 allied troops of the Southern Barbarians with more than 1,000 people. The second battle was outside Dianchi City, Lord Taishou invited the heavenly soldiers and generals to descend to earth, and with a broken drink, the invincible elephant array of the barbarians was wiped out. ”

The shopkeeper said that the mouth foamed wildly, and everyone was dumbfounded.

"Heavenly Soldiers?" Everyone asked in unison.

"It's true, we didn't believe it at first glance, but we have a distant cousin who was a soldier in the adult's new barracks, and he was next to the adult at the time, saying that he saw it with his own eyes." The store swears by it.

"Impossible, right?" And they did not believe it.

"Let's lie to you guys. It is said that at that time, the barbarian elephant array poured out of the nest, that was the earth shook the mountain, the dust covered the sky and the sun, and those who were soldiers at that time trembled their legs, thinking that their lives were about to end, at this moment, Lord Taishou, pointed to the sky, and shouted: "The time has come to witness the miracle", and then he listened to the group of elephants, "Hungry", all of them turned against the water, and all turned around and ran to the barbarians, and the barbarians collapsed at once. You say, what is it that doesn't summon heavenly soldiers and generals? As soon as Meng You saw that our adults were gods, he immediately surrendered with joy and sincerity. ”

No way? The crowd was full of incredulity.

"I heard that in the battle of Kyaukpingdu, Lord Taishou annihilated 8,000 enemies, and the casualties were only more than 200, but is it true?" The young man was the first to come back to his senses and asked.

"Rumors are not accurate." The shopkeeper looked at these outsiders, stunned by his own shock, and felt a great sense of accomplishment, "It's not right to destroy eight thousand enemies, in fact, there are far more than this, and the barbarians in the back are defeated and trample on each other, many of them are not counted." More than 200 casualties are even more wrong, the actual situation is that there are only wounded, not dead, there are only a few seriously injured, Lord Taishou ordered them to retire, and most of the other injured have been cured and returned to the team. That is, General Wu Yi's Dongzhou soldiers died some people. ”

"Dongzhou soldiers? Didn't you say that the Dongzhou soldiers followed behind and didn't fight? ”

"The Dongzhou soldiers didn't get the battle. That was when the Dongzhou soldiers heard that the Taishou Lord in front had won a big victory, and they wanted to hurry up and get some military merits, and those who fell behind on the rapid march were bitten by poisonous insects, and those who were poisoned by miasma and so on. You don't see that the current new army is bullish, there are people lining up all day long outside Xicheng to join the new army, and the babies of the new army are now walking on the street, the tails are all cocked to the sky, and the big leather boots are snapping, and you know from a long distance that they are the babies of the new army. ”

"Boots for soldiers?" The young warrior is obviously not calm.

"Who says it's not, if you want to say it's too much, we have to be too guarded, and we don't throw money at these little cubs. Not to mention these boots, there are several sets of military uniforms a year, which are specially made from the inside out, and the military uniform is worn on the body, even a little girl looks very energetic. Also, I heard that the bowstrings of the bows and crossbows used by the soldiers were spun from the silk threads used to make silk, and the money was spent on the old nose. It is said that it was because Lord Taishou was sympathetic to the people's feelings and did not want the people to hurt the cows, so he ordered all the bowstrings to be free of cow tendons. ”

"More than 8,000 enemies were annihilated, and not a single one died?" The young scribe could not believe it, and the shopkeeper's words were exaggerated and untrue.

"Let's just say that you don't believe it, we didn't believe it at first, even if there are few people in the whole of Chengdu who believe it. However, we can tell you a piece of evidence, and you may believe it after listening to it. ”

"What evidence, tell me?"

"A few guest officers can go outside to inquire, there are funerals nearby, but one is from the new barracks of Lord Taishou, I tell you, I have heard about it, there is no one, almost all of the funerals are from Dongzhou soldiers."

"Oh, that's kind of credible. The shopkeeper is really shrewd. However, this Taishou Lord spends so much, even the gold and silver mountains are not enough, right? The young man watched the shopkeeper talk about it, and while eating a mouthful of food, he changed the topic.

"Who's to say it isn't. The outside world said that Taishou-sama was a playboy, and he was the one who spent money. In the past, there were toilets built all over the street, and this year it is said that there is a water supply system to be built, yes, it is called a tap water supply system, which is said to build several high water towers, pump water to a high place, and then flow to every household, saving everyone the hard work of fetching water and lifting water. You say that we are adults, is he spending money in a different way?

Let's just say that adults get that school, it's a bottomless pit that spends money.

You probably haven't seen it yet, right?

It is said to be an institution, but in fact it is a big construction site.

Today this college will be demolished and rebuilt, and tomorrow that college will have a piece of land and build a new school building, and no, there will be a new college to become independent. Anyway, they are building houses every day, tearing them down, building them, and several colleges are competing to build houses there. Now the school outside Xicheng is already half the size of Chengdu, and Lord Taishou still says that it is not big enough. ”

"Then, Lord Taishou is so profligate, where did he get so much money?" Don't say that the scribe is puzzled, the strong man has already rushed to ask.

"He's a doll who is too guarded, where can he get so much money, he has no money to borrow, what else can he do."

"Borrow? Borrowing money to spend? Everyone asked in unison.

"That's not it, if you don't have money, you can only borrow, who made us Taishou like to spend money. Playboy Flowery is not called for nothing. Although the wine made by Taishou is quite profitable, he doesn't operate honestly, and he doesn't want to brew a few more jars, so the little money he makes is not enough for him to spend. ”

"Borrow? Then who to borrow, who has so much money to lend him, lend him money to spend, what if he doesn't pay it back? "Do young men think there are still such fools in the world, lending money to others to spend? Can the money be returned?

"You don't understand this, of course we people lent it to him. Counting on his daddy state pastor? Or do you count on those big families? None of that can be counted on. Lord Zhou Mu and Lord Taishou, like their father and son, are the masters of spending money, and, hehe, let's just talk about it in private, but we can't spread it, they are more picky. As for the big families, there are only those who enter, not out, and it is even more difficult to borrow money from them. So only we ordinary people borrowed it. ”

"It's really a strange story, are the people willing to lend money to the government?" The young scribe couldn't help but be curious and interjected.

"That's natural. If you have money vouchers, that is, the IOUs issued by the government and the government, and I can return the gold to you, how about you wait? The shopkeeper looked at a few people expectantly, hoping that something miracle would happen.

"IOUs? We and other outsiders, how can there be any IOU, is it possible that the government has issued an IOU, and the people have lent money and grain to the government, and the people are still very happy? Is this IOU more valuable than gold? And they were all puzzled.

"This IOU, which used to be handwritten by the government and then used to be sealed by the official government, has now been uniformly changed to printed, which is not only beautifully made, but most importantly, it is very scarce and will appreciate. Now everyone calls it money coupons, not IOUs. This money coupon is easy to use, much more convenient than gold, silver and copper coins, and it will appreciate in value, who doesn't like it. Now the people work for the government, and they would rather have an IOU than the money and food given by the government. Do you think this thing is good or bad? ”

"It's strange again. The store has it, so let's take out a few and let me see it? ”
