~~~~~~
On the eleventh day of December in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, it snowed heavily. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Under the reluctant farewell of Man Gui, Li Yuanqing's team, despite the wind and snow, went all the way to the west and embarked on the road to Beijing.
As the old saying goes, 'once a son of heaven is a courtier'.
At this time, after more than half a year of hard work, it was finally time for Li Yuanqing to go to the new emperor Zhu Youzhen and ask for dividends.
This year's weather was a little colder than usual.
In the past, although the snow in the gate could not reach the knees, it was rare to have a thigh, but at this time, the snow could not reach the thighs of ordinary people, at least seventy or eighty centimeters thick.
Even though the official road has been cleaned by people from various post stations, it is still slippery and difficult.
Fortunately, Li Yuanqing's trip was extremely abundant, with more than 1,200 horses.
At the time of parting, Man Gui gave Li Yuanqing another twenty good horses.
The main thing is that Man Gui is a guy, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, everything.
Although the dividends given to him by the Liaonan Commercial Bank every year are not small, close to the scale of 100,000 taels, but this life is really not good, and there are so many brothers to feed at the bottom, there is really not much money to spare, so he can only use war horses to make up the number.
Fortunately, not long after the New Year, the dividends of Liaonan Commercial Bank are coming again, otherwise, Man Gui is afraid that he will really have to go to the street to ask for food......
However, although it is difficult to walk, it is all a matter of children, and Li Yuanqing is relaxed and comfortable sitting in a wide, comfortable, and warm carriage.
While enjoying the beautiful scenery on the side of the road, while enjoying the service of Yang Jianniang, Li Liuli and Zhao Mei, it was very comfortable.
It's a pity that this speed of travel really can't be raised.
According to this speed estimate, every day, it will be thirty or forty miles at most, and when I arrive in Beijing, I am afraid that it will be the end of the year.
But Li Yuanqing was not in a hurry.
The road is not difficult, but how can it reflect his determination to be faithful to the saints?
…………
Ten days later, the team successfully arrived in Yutian County and temporarily settled in a small town.
At this time, although there are less than ten days to celebrate the New Year, but the most difficult part of the road, has come, from Yutian to Jingshi, the road is better to walk a lot, hurry up, five or six days, you can arrive, will not miss Li Yuanqing in the year before the auspicious time.
The journey was hard, and the sons were also very tired.
Li Yuanqing also took half a day of leisure, gave the sons and daughters a half-day vacation, and bought a large number of live pigs and sheep in the town, so that the sons and daughters could enjoy the atmosphere of the New Year in advance, and by the way, make up for their bodies.
This town is called Liujia Village.
Located in the southwest of Yutian County, it is very close to Baodi and Xianghe, which is basically the dividing line with Baodi.
Although the town is not big, the outer wall is very well defended, almost ten meters high, which is not much different from an ordinary city.
Of course, this was not built at the expense of the imperial court, but by the local gentry who spontaneously raised money to build it.
There's no way around it.
Five years after the apocalypse, the entire Daming completely fell into the abyss of the Xiaoice River climate, especially in the north, the climate continued to deteriorate, and the year could almost be divided into two seasons, one summer and one winter.
As a result, the northern land, which is dominated by agriculture, suffered heavy losses, and all kinds of bandits and thieves sprang up everywhere, which was simply like a cow's hair, and the people's grievances were boiling, and the people were not able to make a living.
However, the capacity of the government is limited, especially the combat effectiveness of the official army, which is really worrying.
The local wealthy families had no choice but to pay their own money and unite to build forts for defense.
Li Yuanqing was also a little helpless about this.
The wealthy merchants and wealthy families can build forts for defense, but the common people are......
Not surprisingly, after the beginning of spring next year, the tide of displaced people will be unstoppable.
Pity.
Not in his position, not in his politics.
But even if Li Yuanqing is unhappy, he can't easily overstep his authority.
He can only prepare, after the spring of next year, set up more collection points here, recruit displaced people, and go to southern Liaoning.
Yang Jiao~ Niang, a group of female dependents, although they are in a carriage, but the journey is not easy, but it is not easy.
But today, it is a big gathering outside the fort, walking dogs, playing monkeys, killing pigs, selling meat, everything, very lively.
Yang Jiao~ Mother was also interested, and she pestered Li Yuanqing to take them shopping.
Although Li Liuli and Zhao Mei didn't dare to be blatantly coquettish to Li Yuanqing like Yang Jiao~ Niang, the expectation in their big eyes was fully revealed.
Especially Zhao Mei, she is a person from this neighborhood, she is very kind and familiar with this kind of big set, and in her big eyes looking at Li Yuanqing, the sweetness is about to flow out......
A little thing, Li Yuanqing naturally won't thin Yang Jiao's ~ mother's face, so he directly agreed.
Let Yang Lei let people buy more than a dozen ordinary rabbit skin thick cotton jackets, Li Yuanqing changed into them, took Yang Lei, who also changed into civilian clothes, and seven or eight personal soldiers, accompanied Yang Jiao ~ Niang and the three daughters, to the open-air market outside the south gate of Liujiabao to shop lively.
Although the style of the rabbit skin padded jacket is not good-looking, the heating effect is good, and it is also the best choice for the common people.
Of course, only for the rich.
Ordinary people can have a cotton cloth torn cotton jacket, which is already amazing.
At this time, although Li Yuanqing was only wearing a rabbit skin padded jacket, he was tall and majestic, and the momentum of the superior could not be concealed if he wanted to.
And Yang Jiao~ Niang's daughters are even more charming and pretty, luxurious and abnormal, so that people can know that they are the daughters of large families at a glance.
The big set is not big, about a mile and a half long, but it is very lively, and many people are burning incense and praying for blessings.
When Li Yuanqing and his entourage got closer, they inquired about it and found out that today's big gathering happened to overlap with the temple fair once a month, and many people from Buddhism also came out to do things and save believers.
In this kind of pure folk spontaneous interest in the big set, it is still very difficult to find good goods, but it is very possible to dump some rare goods of the people.
Soon, Yang Jiao~ her mother and daughters were attracted by a fiery red fox skin.
Fox skin.
In Liaodi, especially with the support of Xiharwei, in southern Liaoning, it is not too rare goods.
It's just that the fiery fox skin is really rare.
In the legends of the common people, the fox is a spiritual thing, and the fiery fox is considered a symbol of enchantment.
The color of its fur is so good that it is perfect for fur collars.
Especially with this bright color, I am afraid that no woman can refuse this temptation.
Yang Jiao ~ the third daughter, just one glance, and she couldn't move her footsteps.
"This big brother, how do you sell this fox skin?"
The man who sold fox skins was a man in his early forties and a very old man, and next to him was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl who was handsome, had very big eyes, and seemed to be able to talk.
Next to the girl, there was also a young man of eleven or twelve years old, who looked sick.
Born from the bottom, Yang Jiao~ Niang is very sympathetic to this kind of toiling people, so she speaks very politely and does not carry too much superiority.
The man took a hard puff of his cigarette pouch, and looked at Yang Jiao~ Niang and Li Yuanqing with some trembling.
Although he hadn't seen anything on the market, he could see that these people in front of him must be nobles.
He hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and then said with difficulty: "This lady, you, your eyesight is too good. This fox skin of mine, I want, want, I want one hundred and fifty taels of silver. ”
"One hundred and fifty taels?"
Yang Jiao~ Mother hurriedly glanced at Li Yuanqing, this price is not cheap. Although she likes it very much, she is not extravagant and wants to ask Li Yuanqing's opinion.
Li Yuanqing smiled: "Jiao~ Mother, buy it if you like." Big brother, do you want a silver ticket or cash? ”
After saying this, Li Yuanqing also reacted, couldn't help but smile and patted his head, waved his hand to Yang Lei behind him, and said, "Take one hundred and fifty taels of silver." ”
"Yes."
The soldiers didn't have so much cash on them, so Yang Lei hurriedly asked people to go to the camp not far away to get it.
Seeing that Li Yuanqing didn't make a counteroffer, this man directly bought the fox skin, and his face showed a look of annoyance, he should have asked for a higher price.
Yang Jiao ~ Niang's side, although Li Liuli and Zhao Mei are a little greedy, they also know that Yang Jiao ~ Niang is the real brand of 'big lady' level, even if they like it, but there is only one fox skin, and it can only be liked by Yang Jiao ~ Niang first.
Li Yuanqing saw the fluctuations on Li Liuli and Zhao Meiqiao's faces, and it happened that on this man's stall, there were two white and beige fox skins, although the color was not as beautiful as this red fox skin, but the fur was quite good.
couldn't help laughing and said, "This big brother, how can you sell these two photos?" It's right for me to ask for a piece. ”
This man already knew that Li Yuanqing was a master who was not bad for money, so he mustered up his courage and said with difficulty: "This, this master, these two, these two, one hundred taels." Yes, in cash. ”
Li Yuanqing smiled: "Okay." Yang Lei, go get the silver again. ”
"Yes."
Yang Lei hurriedly sent someone to get the silver.
Li Yuanqing smiled and pinched Li Liuli's little hand, and with his other big hand, he quietly pinched Zhao Mei's upturned little buttocks.
The two girls both understood Li Yuanqing's thoughts, and their pretty faces couldn't help but blush.
Others didn't see Li Yuanqing's small movements, but on the other side, the big-eyed girl kept looking at the tall Li Yuanqing, twilight, her pretty face, and couldn't help but also rise two crimson blushes......
Li Yuanqing also saw the girl's expression at this time, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
The girl and Li Yuanqing's eyes met for half a second, and she hung her head shyly, her long eyelashes blinked, but her little hand held the red fox skin hard.
It can be seen that she is very reluctant to sell such a red fox skin.
Yang Jiao~ Niang also saw the abnormality on Li Yuanqing's side at this time, and her little hand couldn't help but pinch Li Yuanqing's big hand lightly, and glanced at Li Yuanqing coquettishly.
Li Yuanqing smiled and said to the man: "This big brother, looking at your skills, it is all fatal with one arrow." You're a connoisseur. ”
The man couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Li Yuanqing with some astonishment, and said dumbfoundedly: "This master, you, you also know archery?" ”
Li Yuanqing smiled: "I know a little bit about it." It's not proficient. My methods are far worse than yours. ”
The man smiled innocently and was about to reply.
At this time, a flirtatious voice sounded not far away, "Hey~~!" Cripple Zhao, you little~ raised by your son. What did Master Ben tell you? If you don't sell me this fox skin, then don't even think about selling it! What's wrong? Do you still want Young Master Ben to break your other leg again? ”
