Although Xu Yang said that he couldn't afford it, he was undoubtedly very satisfied with Johnson & Johnson's attitude, and carefully took out nine copper plates from his arms and put them on the counter, and said softly, "Shopkeeper, help make a bowl of wine, and then a plate of fennel beans!" ”

"Mr. Xu, the price of this wine has risen now! A bowl of ten cents! The shopkeeper reminded with a polite smile.

"Ten Wen?" Xu Yang asked in astonishment.

"Hehe, this world is not peaceful, and the price of food has risen!" The shopkeeper explained to Xu Yang with a wry smile.

"The official army has been defeated again, and now Governor Hong is leading the remnants of the army to stay in Xi'an, I am afraid that I will no longer be able to control the rogues, and the court will be trapped inside and outside the country, and the price of food should rise! The days to come will be sad again, I just hope that the Holy One can prosper the Ming Dynasty, and don't let the rogues and Tartars come to us! Xu Yang sighed with a sad face, picked up the copper coins one by one, and put them back into his arms, "The shopkeeper's wine doesn't need to be beaten, I'll come again next time!" ”

The shopkeeper stopped his movements, turned around and looked at Xu Yang in surprise, and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, Mr. Xu, go slowly!" ”

"Why is Mr. Xu in a hurry, I'll invite Mr. Xu to drink!" Johnson & Johnson stretched out his hand and grabbed Xu Yang's sleeve and asked sincerely, and hurriedly beckoned to the shopkeeper, "Quickly bring up the wine, and lick two more meat dishes for me to drink!" ”

"No, no, Johnson, let me go!" Xu Yang shook his head resolutely and refused, stretching out his hands to break Johnson & Johnson's hand.

"I finally met Mr. Xu once, of course I want to invite Mr. Xu to have a drink, isn't it Mr. Xu, you look down on me as a rough person, and you don't want to eat and drink with me?" Johnson asked, pretending to be dissatisfied.

Xu Yang nodded helplessly, but he didn't eat when he looked at the wine and food in front of him, Johnson & Johnson was also helpless when he saw this, knowing that Xu Yang was stubborn, and he didn't really look down on him, Wang Juren once had an errand for Xu Yang, but Xu Yang was politely refused, Xu Yang has the backbone of a scholar, and the poor are not subject to food, so Johnson & Johnson can only chat with Xu Yang.

"Oh, this poor master, you are a sharp hit! Or a hotel? Xiao Er, go and lead the horse for the poor master! The shopkeeper saw the clerk walking in under the door of the store, and hurriedly greeted.

"No, I didn't come to live in the store, but I sold newspapers, eleven articles for a newspaper, do you want to buy two issues of the shopkeeper?" The postman asked, leading his horse and standing in the doorway.

"The poor master laughed, the little old man can't even read all the words, what kind of newspaper to buy!" The shopkeeper refused with a smile.

The post guard was not disappointed, and looked at Xu Yang again and asked, "Do you want this lord to buy the two issues of the newspaper the day before yesterday and yesterday, this is a newspaper issued by the Guozijian of the Hanlin Academy, and the two words of Ming Pao are still inscribed by the emperor himself, and a copy is only sold for ten yuan, and the extra one is a certain salary!" ”

"Ten cents is really not expensive!" Xu Yang said movingly.

"The master wants two copies?" The postman happily took out two newspapers from the big bag on horseback and was about to deliver them to Xu Yang.

Seeing this, Xu Yang shook his head, "Forget it today, I'll buy it in the future!" ”

"Okay, in the future, I will deliver newspapers every two days, and when the time comes, if you want to buy it, you will come to me directly!" The post keeper said that he was about to put away the newspaper and leave, but he was stopped by the shopkeeper: "The master said that this newspaper is run by the emperor?" ”

"Anyway, the word Ming Pao was written by the emperor, and presumably half of this newspaper was agreed to by the emperor!" The postman is not sure.

"Since it's the emperor's office, then I'll buy two copies!" The shopkeeper is rare and generous.

The postman happily walked in and gave the newspaper to the shopkeeper, took the copper coin, and rode away.

The shopkeeper held the newspaper but didn't know how to read, so he could only look at Xu Yang expectantly.

Xu Yang also took the newspaper politely, and when he saw the two big characters of Ming Pao, he couldn't help blurting out, "Good words!" ”

"Of course, the emperor's handwriting is not good-looking!" The shopkeeper said admiringly.

"Although I don't know words, I always feel a little dazzling when I see these two words!" Johnson & Johnson said in surprise.

"The emperor's words already have everyone's momentum, naturally it is not ordinary, even if it is rubbing, you can feel a fierce atmosphere!" Xu Yang exclaimed.

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Xu Yang flipped through the newspaper, and suddenly Xu Yang slapped the counter so violently that even the wine in the bowl was spilled, but he didn't notice it and shouted in surprise, "Xi'an victory!" ”

"Xi'an victory?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this!

"Lai Sheng's heavenly might, all the rogues bowed their heads, first there were goddesses who went down to kill the evil dragon, and then there were heavenly soldiers who came to the world, millions of rogue robbers fled in the wind, and now the steep roads in Shaanxi are heavily guarded, and when Qin Liangyu and Lu Xiangsheng's army arrives, they can annihilate the rogues in Shaanxi!" Xu Yang's originally serious expression disappeared without a trace, and he was preaching with his eyebrows dancing at this moment.

"The rogue is about to be exterminated? That's good, that's good! The shopkeeper patted his chest and rejoiced.

"Mr. Xu really has a goddess heavenly soldier to come to help the thief?" Johnson & Johnson asked incredulously.

"That's still false, at that time, it was a million rogues besieging Xi'an, Xi'an only had more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, and he Governor Hong couldn't hold Xi'an even if he had three heads and six arms, except for the emperor to invite the goddess to send heavenly soldiers, what else could turn defeat into victory?" Xu Yang frowned dissatisfied.

"Hehe, it's me who is too talkative, Mr. Xu, do you continue to see what else is said in this newspaper?" Johnson hurriedly apologized, secretly scolding himself for not having eyesight, Xu Yang is notoriously loyal and stubborn, how can he question the emperor in front of him, thanks to his good mood today, otherwise he may be beaten down!

"In this issue, there is also the news that the emperor wants to reform the military merit system, and in the future, the military merit will not only reward the silver seal official, but also give Yongye Tian, Yongye Tian can be hereditary by his descendants, and they are all exempt from military service! Unless Yongye Tian commits a major crime, or the clan is extinct, even the emperor cannot forcibly take it back! Yongye Tian is not allowed to be sold, but it can be mortgaged to Huangzhuang at the market price, and there is no interest within ten years, and it can be redeemed at the original price at any time! Reading this, Xu Yang frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "The emperor is so heavy on martial arts, it's not the way to long-term peace and stability!" For example, although there is a little chaos today, but the soldiers are dangerous, I am afraid that it is not safe for the emperor to act like this! ”

Johnson & Johnson's eyes lit up when he heard it, Yongye Tian! If they can get dozens of acres, it will be the foundation for their family's eternal prosperity.

The rest of the men also yearned for this place, land will always be the most important thing in the hearts of the people, not to mention this Yongye Field, which is exempt from all servitude! If you can get three and a half acres, even if it is a few dozen taels of silver, you are reluctant to change it!

"Mr. Xu, is there any news in this newspaper? Tell us about it! Johnson hurriedly asked.

"Yes! Mr. Xu, tell me about it! ”

The people around him gathered more and more, and they didn't even drink alcohol, and they surrounded Xu Yang and waited for him to read the newspaper.
