Volume 16 The Iron Horse Treads the Snow and Takes Hebei Chapter 153 The Partition Wall Has Ears

It wasn't until the fourth day of the New Year that Yang Yuanqing finally took a breath, the New Year may be a kind of rest for others, but for a person like him, he is even more busy and tired, and all kinds of entertainment are also a kind of tiring thing.

The Yuan rì holiday of the imperial court has five days, from Chinese New Year's Eve to the fourth day of the first lunar month, and the fifth day of the first lunar month is the great dynasty, and officials above the seventh rank must enter the Jinyang Hall to participate in the grand ceremony of the dynasty meeting to celebrate the beginning of the new year.

So today's fourth day of the Lunar New Year is Yang Yuanqing's last day of rest, and he couldn't sit still, so he put on a little makeup early in the morning and came to Taiyuan North City to visit the people and inquire about prices.

Microservice private interview is something that any person in power is willing to do, which is also the side of their ordinary hearts, eager to interact with the people at the bottom, and personally understand the people's livelihood and people's conditions, many times, this is actually a kind of fun, if it is a positive dynasty, there will be a sense of achievement.

Since Yang Yuanqing's high position, he has less and less time to contact with the bottom, although he has a lot of contact with ordinary soldiers, but ordinary soldiers do not represent the livelihood of the people.

Yang Yuanqing wears a light purple sè fine linen robe, a gauze hat on his head, a leather belt around his waist, and black leather boots on his feet.

In fact, Yang Guang of the previous dynasty had strict hierarchical regulations on the face of clothing, such as soldiers wearing yellow clothes, butchers and merchants wearing black clothes, Xu officials wearing green clothes, ordinary people wearing white clothes, only officials can wear robes, officials below the fifth rank wear green robes, and officials above the fifth rank wear purple robes.

There are also merchants who are not allowed to ride horses, ordinary people who are not allowed to ride in carriages, and so on. However, with the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, these hierarchical regulations have been abandoned, and merchants riding horses and butchers wearing purple robes can be seen everywhere.

The new dynasty established by Yang Yuanqing was also more tolerant of the restrictions on this kind of clothing and transportation, and there were basically no restrictions, just because of advocating frugality. Only then did the officials not be allowed to wear silk and ride in carriages, and the officials affected the common people. There are not many people who wear silk up and down in the Great Sui, and most of them are mainly fine linen.

Yang Yuanqing's eyebrows were thickened, and two beards were added. His appearance changed greatly, and he got rid of the image of a middle-aged uncle, walking on the street, and he didn't attract attention

Carrying a leather bag in his hand, he walked slowly towards Beishi, followed by more than a dozen personal guards with strong martial arts, all of whom were also wearing makeup, and watched the situation on both sides with jǐng timidity.

In fact, Yang Yuanqing mainly wanted to understand the circulation of silver money, and this time he rewarded the three armies and the officials with their annual salaries. All the money used was new money, and he heard from his family that a large amount of silver money had appeared in the market.

He had to worry about the rise in prices, especially the price of rice, and the best way was for these silver coins to circulate in large quantities to the Tang Dynasty. Give him food and all kinds of supplies.

In fact, he had already done so, and countless caravans entered Guanlong, Bashu, and Jingxiang, bringing with them large quantities of silver ingots, which would bring back grain, cloth, silk, tea, livestock, pig iron, and other bulk items to stabilize the prices of the Sui Dynasty.

After a three-day break, the fourth day of the first lunar month is also the rìzi of the reopening of the North Market. Perhaps because many businessmen are aware of the arrival of business opportunities, they have opened their stores in advance according to the practice of opening stores after the fifteenth day of the month, which makes the people of Beishi crowded and extremely lively.

I didn't see the opening of the shops, and even the wine shops on both sides of the Qinglou also opened their doors to attract customers, and the sound of firecrackers exploded in the sky above the North Market, attracting customers from all directions.

Yang Yuanqing leaned over and walked slowly, his own soldiers were no longer far away, so they guarded him tightly behind him, pushing everyone who was close to Yang Yuanqing away one by one.

At this time, a guard stepped forward quickly and whispered to Yang Yuanqing: "Your Highness, I have seen General Cheng, General Qin and General Luo. ”

Yang Yuanqing was stunned and asked, "Where are the three of them?" ”

"Drink in the liquor shop opposite." The soldiers pointed diagonally to a liquor store diagonally opposite.

Looking over the crowded people, Yang Yuanqing saw a wine shop, which seemed to be the Bafang wine shop of Tang Feng in the past, since Taiyuan Tang Feng was cracked, this wine shop was also seized.

However, the signboard that Yang Yuanqing saw at this time was 'Yuan'an Wine Shop', he was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at the top of his head, the signboard above his head was also Yuan'an Wine Shop.

There are actually two Yuan'an wine shops, and as soon as his mind turned, Yang Yuanqing understood that this must be Pei You who bought the Bafang wine shop opposite, this woman is very business-minded, maybe she can be an imperial businessman in the future.

At this time, Yang Yuanqing had already seen the second floor of the wine shop opposite, and a few people sitting by the window drinking, weren't they Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and Cheng Yanjin?

"Your Highness, do you want to go up and sit with them?"

Yang Yuanqing thought for a while, took out a list, and handed it to a few pro-soldiers, "According to the items on this, give me the price one by one, and investigate three of each." ”

"Yes!"

Several pro-soldiers went to Beishi with the list, and Yang Yuanqing slowly walked towards the opposite wine shop.

He entered the wine store, which was noisy and the business was very prosperous, with more than a dozen men sweating profusely back and forth, and the shopkeeper was busy collecting money at the counter and looking for money, and he couldn't even lift his head.

Yang Yuanqing saw Pei You at a glance, she sat behind the shopkeeper, holding a fan in her hand, and looked at the guests who kept pouring in with a smile.

Today is the first day of opening, and she is also very concerned about the business of the new liquor store, judging from the current customer flow, it is too good for her to imagine, and she is happy in her heart, and she begins to think about the opening of the next liquor store.

Suddenly, Pei You felt something, she seemed to see a very familiar figure, she looked for the door, her eyes locked on a middle-aged man.

This figure, this face shape, and this eyes, except for the thick eyebrows and two beards, are exactly the same as Yang Yuanqing.

At this time, the middle-aged man looked at her and smiled at her, Pei You covered his mouth violently, almost shouting, she was already convinced, this is Yang Yuanqing, isn't there a personal guard behind him?

She ran out of the counter in a panic, ran to Yang Yuanqing with a long skirt in one hand, grabbed his wrist, pulled him aside, and asked nervously in a low voice: "Your Highness, why are you here?" ”

Yang Yuanqing waved his hand to the two guards who were about to draw their swords, signaling that it was okay, and then said lightly to Pei You: "If I hadn't seen you first, you would have gone to see Hades by now, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Pei You saw the ruthless gazes of several guards, and only then did she react, so frightened that she hurriedly let go of Yang Yuanqing's wrist, and her face changed.

Yang Yuanqing showed a smile on his face and looked at the wine shop, "Is this wine shop yours?" Not bad! When did you buy it? ”

Pei You's heart was weak for a while, she lowered her head, she didn't dare to lie, so she had to say honestly: "This wine shop is under my banner under your banner, plus General Wei Ben spoke for me, and spent 50,000 yuan to buy it, the capital is not enough, I asked Minqiu again to borrow 30,000 yuan, and I will definitely pay her back this time." ”

Yang Yuanqing was not angry, many officials in the court knew that Pei You was his sister-in-law, even if she didn't say it, others would give her face, as for borrowing money, it was Minqiu's business, and he generally didn't care.

"You only bought 50,000 hangs, and you made a lot of money." Yang Yuanqing said with a smile.

Pei You saw that Yang Yuanqing was not angry, and she couldn't help but say proudly: "That's it, this wine shop is worth at least 100,000 hangs, and someone originally paid 90,000 hangs to buy it, but the city bureau didn't agree, and sold it to me directly for 40,000 hangs, which is really embarrassing to say." ”

"You're so thick-skinned, would you be embarrassed?"

Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but taunt her, and pointed to it again, "Find me a seat next to them, I want to hear what they say?" ”

Pei You has been in the shopping mall for many years, and she is very good at observing words and observations, Yang Yuanqing's ridicule made her extremely excited, which shows that Yang Yuanqing doesn't care about getting the wine shop by means, but is just a little contemptuous, this is okay, she laughed in a low voice: "Isn't it easy to find a seat?" Follow me! ”

Yang Yuanqing followed her up to the second floor and entered a private room from the back, which was booked by the guests in advance, and the three of Qin Qiong happened to be next door, and the wall was very thin, so the conversation between the three of them could be heard clearly.

"Shall I get you some food?" Pei You whispered.

Yang Yuanqing nodded, pointed to the door again, and motioned for her to close the door, Pei You closed the door and went out, Yang Yuanqing sat down against the wall and listened to the conversation next door.

"I really don't understand, why doesn't His Highness fight Qi County all the time? I'm so anxious to wait. This was Qin Qiong's voice, and he sighed, looking a little depressed.

"Lao Qin, your wife and lady are no longer in Licheng County, whether you fight or not, you are in a hurry!"

"What you say is not right, who doesn't have their own hometown, thinking that Qi County has been ravaged by bandits for so many years, my heart is heavy, especially the fathers and villagers in Licheng County know that I Qin Qiong was a general in the Sui Dynasty, and they all look forward to me fighting back, but ...... Alas! ”

"Brother Qin, don't worry, Your Highness has already told me that you will definitely fight Qingzhou this year, and I heard that Your Highness means to fight the East first, I guess it is to destroy Li Mi first, and then attack the Tang Dynasty."

"Hey! You two decrepit people, talk about interesting topics, don't analyze strategies all day long, tired or not! I told you, Your Highness is ready to seal us out and build our own countries, I will build the Cheng Kingdom, and the two of you will build the Qin Kingdom and the Luo Kingdom, and we will all be kings, hehe! Three palaces and six courtyards, seventy-two concubines ......"

"Don't talk nonsense!" This is Qin Qiong is a little angry.

"Lao Qin, don't be so straightforward, okay? It's weird and scary, I'm not talking nonsense, the last time His Highness told me on the boat, it was the time I went to Liaoshui...... Good! Good! I don't just say it, don't beat me! ”

"Lao Cheng, you stinky mouth should really be sewn, last time you said that Your Highness wanted to marry Princess Danyang, even my lady knew about it, and said that you talk nonsense all day long, and you should be beaten."

"Is this my nonsense?"

Cheng Yanjin was in a hurry, and almost the entire wine shop heard his shout, "Who can't see this matter, who dares to propose to Princess Danyang, last time when the palace invited guests to dinner, His Royal Highness stared at Princess Danyang in a daze, have you forgotten?" Just like this, squinting his eyes, sè staring at Princess Danyang's ass in a daze, didn't you notice? ”

At this time, Yang Yuanqing couldn't wait to sew Cheng Biting Jin's stinky mouth with a needle, he couldn't help it anymore, and scolded: "Cheng Heiguo, shut up Lao Tzu!" ”…… (To be continued.) If you like this work,. )
