Chapter 544

Li Xiao didn't look at this thing uncommonly, so he glanced at it twice and left.

It was the pork stall that caught Li Xiao's attention, and he took a closer look at the pork to see if there were any cysts. This thing has to be taken care of, eating "pox meat" will get pork tapeworms, and people will be thin into a handful of bones.

There is no inspection and quarantine of the Ming Dynasty, and Li Xiao is very worried about public food hygiene.

I've watched it twice, but it's okay. The pork is multi-layered, and the elbow is specially shaved to the bone, and the service can be described as intimate.

"Hey......! Our Liao army was back then, but we couldn't eat pork a few times a year. Ao Ye said that he still doesn't eat fish, shrimp and crabs, but he didn't want to eat anymore at that time. In those years, we made dumplings with shrimp filling. Looking at the pork stall, Li Xiao remembered the "hard" years of the year.

"Handsome! You don't know, now people can't eat fish, shrimp and crabs. Let's not take these things seriously, but dried fish and shrimp are good things that are trafficked to the northwest.

Those Mongolians who eat beef and mutton actually love to eat these seafood very much. Because they don't have it there, the price is very good. It's just that these times, the Mongols are at war. The leader of Geritu did not have time to organize the caravan trafficking, so the bargain shop had to be sold. Hou Fangyu pointed to the stall next to the meat stall with a smiling face, and Li Xiao really saw a lot of dried shrimp and dried fish.

"How's your pork selling?" After being an official for some years, Li Xiao has also learned some tricks of being an official. You can scold your subordinate officials with a straight face, but you have to put on a smiling face at these people and strive to create an appearance that is close to the people. Sun Chengzong told Li Xiao that this is very important.

"Pork sells well, and I can sell almost one pig a day." The pig seller is a simple man, far less vicious than Zheng Tu.

"Hmm!" Li Xiao is very satisfied, it seems that the living standard of the people in Shanhaiguan is not bad.

"How much did you sell today?" Li Xiao glanced at the pork on the stall, and the huge pig's head was placed on the case, smiling strangely at Li Xiao.

"Didn't sell a tael?" The man who sold the meat replied respectfully.

"Why?" Li Xiao looked at the meat seller in surprise, and Hou Fangyu's face began to sweat.

"I heard that the big man was coming, and they closed the cheap shop and didn't allow anyone to come in, so they didn't sell one or two." Hou Fangyu's eyes were about to blink, but he couldn't stop this upright man.

“……!” Everyone was speechless and looked at Hou Fangyu with pity. It is really unfortunate to be an official to have such a real person under the rule.

"Oh! Hehe! It's really our fault that delays your business. Give the official a few catties of pork to bring back, which can be regarded as opening for you. Wang Tong reacted the fastest, and saw that Hou Fangyu's face had turned the color of pig liver, and hurriedly relieved his subordinates.

"Can't sell?" The man who sold meat planned to die without being shocked, and put Wang Tong's thousand words back into his mouth in one sentence.

"Why?" This time, even Li Xiao was surprised.

"They said that the commander was coming, and no one was allowed to carry weapons. The knives that cut the flesh were taken away by the officials! ”

"I'm ......!"

Hou Fangyu really wanted to bite this real person in front of him!

"Hahaha!" Li Xiao laughed twice and patted Hou Fangyu's shoulder.

Li Xiao didn't want to be honest, so he could only encourage Hou Fatzi. Otherwise, if he left, Hou Fangyu would definitely trouble him.

The county officials are not as good as the current management! Li Xiao can't send people to watch this stall every day!

Seeing that Li Xiao was not angry, he seemed to be a little happy. Hou Fangyu glared at the meat seller and followed Li Xiao to continue his inspection.

The cheap shop is just for show, Shanhaiguan guards the water and land, and it is one of the first places to open a factory to divide the land. People's livelihood is naturally richer than other places, and there is nothing to look at in this matter.

The bank is the focus of Li Xiao's attention, because he wants to see how far the silver ticket has reached in the people. Can it still be contained!

As soon as he walked out of the door, Li Xiao suddenly turned around: "You won't arrange it in this bank......!" ”

"No ......! No! This arrangement is to ensure your safety. Donglin Yu occasionally made trouble, and some time ago he got a grenade to kill the lower official, and the lower official was ordered to dodge. The Donglin rebel with the grenade was killed on the spot, and the two guards of the lower official were seriously injured and are still lying in the hospital. ”

"So evil? Why don't you report it? Li Xiao frowned, he didn't expect that the Donglin Party had already begun to assassinate the ministers of the imperial court. This is already the sin of rebellion!

"It's been reported, you were fighting on the grassland at that time, and it is estimated that you didn't receive a report from the imperial court. Mr. Sun has already sent someone to investigate, and it is estimated that there will be news in some time. Although Wang Tong said lightly, Li Xiao knew that the situation at the scene must be very terrifying.

His mother's Donglin Party has actually developed into a terrorist organization. In the past, Li Xiao still had some tolerant attitude towards them, but now it seems that he is too kind to them.

This is still in Shanhaiguan, where the Liao army is powerful, and Jiangnan, the nest of the Donglin Party, may not be what it looks like. I have to write to Yang Sichang and ask him to pay attention to his safety.

Jiangnan is following Shandong's example to carry out the land division movement, and those big landlords in Jiangnan hate Yang Sichang far more than themselves.

"How is the security in Shanhaiguan?"

"Shanhaiguan has always been peaceful, even if there are some ruffians and hooligans, they don't dare to make too much noise, that is, they just drink and fight. Who knows, something so big has happened. So......! That's why Xia Guan put more thought into security. ”

"You've got a heart!" Li Xiao patted Wang Tong on the shoulder.

The inside of the bank is fairly clean, and there is a row of counters in the lobby. Inside each cubicle, there is a guy who talks to the people outside through the heavy glass.

Li Xiao stood for more than twenty minutes and saw many people exchanging silver for silver tickets. But few people exchanged silver tickets for silver, and sighed helplessly in their hearts. It seems that it will be very difficult to curb the circulation of silver tickets.

Just as later generations quickly accepted WeChat payment and Alipay, people also quickly accepted the convenient and fast new product of silver tickets. It is far more convenient to carry a few silver tickets in your pocket than to carry a bag of silver coins.

Anyway, there is something that is endorsed by the credibility of the imperial court, and the common people have firm confidence in the new dynasty, especially in places like Shanhaiguan and Liaodong.

Li Xiao was worried, if something happened to the silver ticket in the future, it would be a big accident.

Li Xiao doesn't speak, and neither do others. Everyone looked at Li Xiao and didn't know what the big marshal was thinking.

After watching it for more than half an hour, Li Xiao only saw a dozen or so people who came to exchange money. And the silver money exchanged is still three taels or five taels of silver, Li Xiao is very curious and doesn't know why these people want to take the silver.

"Uncle, why did you take the silver?" Li Xiao walked over to an old man.

The old man looked like a businessman, wearing silk clothes. He wears a hat on his head and a mustache, and his image is a bit obscene.

"If you go back to the adult, the little old man has to pay the taxes of the imperial court. Although they are accustomed to using silver tickets on weekdays, when the court collects taxes, they still need cash. That's why the little old man came to withdraw the silver. Seeing Li Xiao, the old man immediately stood up and saluted Li Xiao.

This is a person with vision, and he can see at a glance that Li Xiao is the biggest official here.

"Oh! I see. Li Xiao nodded, and it could be seen that this was Ai Husheng's handiwork.

That time in the household department, Li Xiao asked him to find a way to reduce the use of silver tickets. Presumably, this is one of Ai Husheng's methods.

"Sir, the lower officer has already prepared a banquet in the military academy. The boys of the military academy also want to meet the marshal. Wang Tong looked at the sky and it was not early, and when he looked at the pocket watch again, it was almost a little closer, so he had to come out and remind Li Xiao.

"Oh!" Li Xiao agreed.

Wang Tong's heart immediately relaxed, although the people in this bank were only released after inspection. But after all, there are a lot of people at this station, and it is difficult to say that there is Donglin rebel party hidden here, in case something happens, it is not something that he Wang Tong can afford.

Li Xiao walked out of the bank surrounded by a group of people and just walked to the carriage. Suddenly, I heard a loud shout: "Traitor, take your life." ”
