041 Enter the palace
Zhang Liao, the one who is now hot in the whole of Hebei? He actually married Miss Zhang Ning as the wife of the main room?
Everyone present is an old yellow scarf from Jiazi's year, Zhang Ning also stayed in Qingzhou Xu He for a while when he was wandering around a few years ago, and he knew that this righteous daughter of the great sage and good teacher, now I heard that she had become the wife of Julu Taishou, and her mind couldn't turn for a while.
Pei Yuanshao continued: "When I came, the lord of my family also said that our Yellow Turban Army is a hard-working person who was forced to rise up and rebel, if we can have a bite to eat, no one is willing to do this work against the government, and the lord does not ask the Qingzhou Yellow Turban to belong to him, I only hope that Xu Dashuai and all the brothers can cherish the lives of their subordinates, and there is one more, that is, as Mr. Guo said just now, stop harming the local people, otherwise our Yellow Turban Army will sooner or later become rats crossing the street, and will be looked down upon everywhere." ”
Everyone lowered their heads in shame, they didn't know the situation they were in now, where the Yellow Turban Army had passed before, the people welcomed them, but now, the Yellow Turbans have plundered everywhere, and they have become thieves who everyone talks about, and their reputation is infamous. Although I don't want to admit it, but everyone has a vague sense of crisis in their hearts, in the past few years, the living environment of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans has become worse and worse, and no one knows when the disaster will come.
But what can be done, Qingzhou continues to suffer from famine, many people lost their livelihoods and went to the Yellow Turbans, the Yellow Turban Army was forced by food pressure, had to plunder the local people, so that more people fell under the thieves, so that after years of vicious circles, the once rich Qingzhou population finally withered, and the land was wasted.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Pei Yuanshao said again: "Brothers, I and Brother Zhou Cang are both from here, you will know when you go to Julu to see what kind of way the army and the people there are living, compared to the days when you have today and no tomorrow, I don't know a thousand times better!" Now the lord has sent Mr. Guo and several other gentlemen to come, just to help us, Mr. Guo's talent has been seen by everyone, I believe that with his help, we will be able to help millions of brothers in Qingzhou tide over the difficulties. ”
Although Pei Yuanshao was clumsy, as soon as the conversation box was opened, he kept talking, and all the yellow scarves knew that Lao Pei was sincere, and what he said made everyone believe it even more.
Everyone listened to Pei Yuanshao talk about the many benefits of Julu now, and everyone yearned for it.
Xu He saw everyone's expressions and knew his intentions, but he attached great importance to the old and serious people, and did not have a hot brain to turn to others, but said: "I have already understood everyone's intentions, and we will stay in Qingzhou and listen to Mr. Guo's teachings!" ”
"We are all willing to listen to Mr. Guo's teachings!" The yellow scarves in the tent shouted in unison.
…………
Two or three days after the wine tasting event, the word Julu suddenly became the most popular word in Chang'an City in the Chang'an market, up to the minister, down to the peddler pawn, the discussion is all about this Jizhou county that is only famous in the Yellow Turban Thieves Rebellion for a while and is now famous again, people suddenly found that Taishou Zhang Liao, Julu wine, thread-bound books, Julu paper, these things that used to only hear their names and do not see the actual things, suddenly appeared in everyone's lives.
Among the liquor shops, a five-pound jar of giant deer Zheng Gong wine was marked with a high price of 30 gold, and it was coaxed out just an hour after it was listed, and it was copied to hundreds of gold in the black market in a blink of an eye! There are still people who sigh because they can't buy a jar. No one considered whether it was expensive or not, only blamed this Zheng Gong wine for being too little, and hated that he didn't buy it earlier. Sure enough, the price is higher than gold!
It seems to confirm Wen Yuan's previous life not to buy the best, only to buy the most expensive statement, relatively speaking, the price of ten gold and one jar of burning knives was met with some cold reception, on the first day, the burning knives did not appear to be robbed, but after a general accidentally drank a sip of the giant deer burning knife, he was immediately attracted by the spicy and fierce wine, and after admiring in front of the wine shop for more than half an hour, he immediately bought twenty altars and went back!
The sales of the burnt knives were instantly hot, and if they couldn't grab Zheng Gong's wine, they bought back a few jars of burnt knives and went back to chat for comfort.
As for the sales of folding fans, giant deer paper, and thread-bound books are also extremely hot, as if everything with the words "produced by Julu" has suddenly become extremely expensive, Wen Yuan, who saw this scene, couldn't help but think of an advertisement on TV in his previous life - believe in the power of the brand!
This is the power of the brand, Zhen Yan has told Wen Yuan that this trip to Chang'an has been an unexpected success, according to estimates, such a large-scale transaction, the net profit of wine alone is expected to reach nearly 20,000 gold! There are more than 10,000 gold in Wenyuan's hands, and such a wealth is almost equivalent to six to eight years of taxes in Julu County!
Wen Yuan didn't care too much about such a huge income, gold and silver were just a string of numbers for him now, and he cared more about food! Because of the severe drought that has been going on for several months since January this year, a terrible food crisis is already emerging!
Compared with this time in previous years, the market price of grain has risen seven or eight times, reaching an astonishing three or four thousand yuan a hundred, and this price is still being refreshed! It is estimated that as the drought deepens, the price of grain will become even more alarming!
Nowadays, the rivers and canals are dense, and the situation of starvation has begun to appear in the fertile Guanzhong, in order to survive, the poor people in many places sell their sons and daughters, but they cannot exchange the same weight of grain and rice! At the streets and alleys of Chang'an, many dizzy and ragged women even willingly sold ** for half a steamed bun and a bowl of gruel!
Looking at these, Wen Yuan's eyes were as cold as ice, and Wang Yue, who was leading the way in front, also had a solemn face and closed his mouth in interest.
Walking and walking, Wang Yue suddenly listened and said: "That's it, lord, there is a secret grid in the carriage, and please be wronged for a while and hide in the dark grid." ”
Wen Yuan raised his eyes and saw a carriage parked in front of the house, Wang Yue led Wen Yuan to get into the carriage, and lifted a wooden board from under the seat, and there was really a small space under it that could hide a person.
Wen Yuan got into it as he said, and the carriage started slowly, rolling on the stone-paved road and moving slowly.
After about a cup of tea, the carriage slowly stopped, Wen Yuan held his breath, only to hear a man's voice outside the car: "Master Wang, I'm entering the palace again!" ”
Then Wang Yue's voice smiled: "Yes, today is the day of Your Majesty's sword practice, come on, let the brothers check it." ”
The male voice laughed again: "What did Wang Jianshi say, you are a frequent visitor in our palace, can you still be trusted?" Quick, open the door! Let Wang Jianshi in. ”
Wen Yuan listened to Wang Yue and the palace guard sergeant outside to thank him, and then there was a dull creak of the palace gate, and the carriage slowly moved forward again.
