"Wu that child, give one to the old lady."

Li Zhenli took out a corner and threw it over: "No need to look for it." ”

The newspapers on the market are priced at five cents, but Li Zhenli gives five cents.

The newsboy took it and saw that it was a five-dime silver dollar, and he was overjoyed for a moment, and quickly took out a copy of the "Ming Shangjia Newspaper" from his cloth pocket and stuffed it into Li Zhenli's hand.

Li Zhenli's brush unfolded the Ming Business Jia Bao.

Girls from the neighborhood also came over to take a look.

But I saw that the front page of the newspaper wrote in black and bold font: The great victory of the Hunhe River - the Ming military department gave Xu Yingwei led 25,000 new troops and 5,000 Korean troops to defeat Jiannu on the south bank of the Hunhe River, killing more than 12,000 Jiannu and capturing more than 8,000 people.

"Oh my God!" The girls exclaimed in surprise with their hands over their cherry mouths.

"The slave family thought that Yan was already very powerful when he beheaded 2,000 Jiannu, but he didn't expect Xu to be even more powerful, and he actually killed and captured more than 20,000 Jiannu in one battle!"

"Yes, yes, this Xu is very good."

"But no, Xu Zhizhi is simply our Ming God of War!"

"Sisters, have you ever seen Xu Zhizhi? Isn't he handsome? ”

As he spoke, these Qinglou prostitutes digressed and turned to men and women.

"The slave family was fortunate to see it once, although Xu Zhizhi is not handsome, but he is very tall and strong, and he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, which is much stronger than those weak sons."

"Sister Susu, how do you know that Xu is very strong? Haven't you tried it? ”

"If only I had this blessing, even if it was just to be a concubine, but people didn't give me a chance at all."

"I don't believe it, with your posture and means, sister, that Xu Zhi's admonition will turn into a soft finger twist even if he is hard-hearted."

"Sister Susu, if you really have this idea, my sister has an idea, the national disaster drama troupe is about to recruit people again, why don't we give it a try? If you really choose, you may have the opportunity to sing in Liaodong. ”

"What do you say?" Li Zhenli was immediately annoyed, "Stay in Nanjing and be your red man, isn't it good to stretch out your hands and eat every day to open your mouth?" I have to go to the national disaster drama troupe to endure hardships. ”

A dozen girls stuck out their tongues and ran away in each other's arms.

Li Zhenli took the newspaper and went straight to the No. 3 Pavilion.

She had to report the good news to Shi Jiuke as soon as possible and ask for a prize.

Zhu Susu, this girl, just said something quite right, this Xu Yingwei is simply the god of war of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not impossible to destroy the Manchu Qing Dynasty single-handedly in the future, although she has a relationship with Li Xiangjun, but there are many benefactors and many roads, isn't it? There will be nothing wrong with having a good relationship with the rising Ming God of War.

……

Wang Tao, Sun Tinglan and several friends also spent their sentences in Meixianglou.

With Wang Tao's net worth, it's not that they can't afford to consume top brands like Kou Baimen, Dong Xiaowan and Bian Yujing, but it depends on whether there are powerful people in front of them.

For example, today, let Zheng Zunqian cut off Hu.

It is not enough to rob a woman with Zheng Zunqian.

How many businessmen in the whole Nanjing and even the entire Jiangnan want to look up to Zheng Zunqian, if they really offend Zheng Zunqian, they will not be able to stay in Nanjing, a prosperous place.

The point is that bond trading has never been with them.

If that's the case, then it's better to die.

After three rounds of drinking, the topic returned to the war with the Ming Dynasty.

Not only do scholars like to point out the disadvantages of the times, but businessmen also like to point out the country.

Especially now, the overall atmosphere of Daming is unprecedentedly friendly to businessmen, which has further boosted the enthusiasm of businessmen.

Sun Tinglan said: "Speaking of this war, Concubine Li Niangniang can have such a performance in eastern Sichuan, it is really unexpected, who would have thought that a famous prostitute in Qinhuai would have such ability?" ”

Wang Tao said: "I'm not surprised. ”

The other said: "Although Concubine Li can also fight, she is not as good as Yan after all." ”

Another said: "That's, that's, Concubine Li Niangniang fought just a rebellious soldier and a thief, and Yan Zhizhi killed a righteous Jiannu in Dagu, and it was a field battle." ”

Sun Tinglan said: "It's just a nominal field battle. ”

"Not really." Wang Tao resolutely agreed, "If it is an upright field battle in the daytime, Yan Zhizhi's infantry brigade is definitely not the opponent of Jiannu, so I am afraid that such a big mouth will be a different situation." ”

At this point, the hall fell silent.

The Ming army was unbearable in the field, and it was discouraged after all.

Sun Tinglan sighed: "I don't know when my soldiers will be able to recover the sharpness of the Hongwu Dynasty and the Yongle Dynasty. ”

As he was talking, there was a sudden uproar on the street outside the banknote.

"Why is it so noisy outside?" Wang Tao frowned and said, "What are you shouting?" ”

A friend listened for a moment and said, "It seems to be shouting, long live the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Long live Daming?" Sun Tinglan's heart moved, "Didn't the north win the battle again?" ”

"Wait a minute, you princesses, wait for me to take a look." The other friend got up and ran out.

After a while, this friend ran in with a newspaper and said loudly: "Great victory on the Hunhe River, my soldiers have achieved an unprecedented victory on the south bank of the Hunhe River!" ”

"Hunhe victory?" Wang Tao reached out and took the newspaper.

"How is the Hanlin Daily? Who still reads the Hanlin Daily now? ”

"Wang Gong is not strange, the newspapers on the street are all bought out, and I can only buy the Hanlin Daily, which is disgusted by wiping my buttocks." The friend smiled humbly and said, "It's just that the news is the same." ”

At that moment, the four of them came together at the same time to carefully read the report on the front page.

"Field war! It's a field battle! My great soldier turned out to be the army of Jiannu defeated in the field! ”

"Oh my God, my great soldiers not only defeated the Jiannu army in the field battle, but also achieved a great victory in the desperate situation of 30,000 against more than 100,000 horse infantry troops!"

"It's not easy, it's not easy!"

"Xu Zhicheng can be described as my god of war!"

"The victory of the Hunhe River, we will wait for the big white to float!"

"What Wang Gong said is very true, we should raise the bottle and congratulate the Ming God of War!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a word, this great victory in the Hunhe River, the two cities will inevitably open tomorrow, so we need to prepare early and send people to the two cities to line up as soon as possible."

"Wait for the market to open tomorrow, sell high!"

"Yes, yes, yes, non-grandchildren are reminded that it is a big mistake."

Well, in the end, you still have to speculate on debts, and in the end, you are old players who speculate on debts.

But stimulated by the good news of the victory of the Hunhe River, the atmosphere in the hall was much warmer, and even the four girls who accompanied the wine had a lot of wine.

……

Shi Jiuke finished reading the business newspaper brought by Li Zhenli, and his eyes widened.

"A great victory in the Hunhe River? My great soldiers killed more than 12,000 Jiannu on the south bank of the Hunhe River? More than 8,000 prisoners? And is it a dignified field battle? ”

Several Huguang silk merchants were also shocked.

"God, my Great Tomorrow soldiers actually defeated Jiannu in a field battle?"

"And it's 30,000 to more than 100,000, the biggest victory since the founding of the country!"

"Just this battle, Xu's advice is enough to go down in history, Shi Gong, I'm here to say hello to you." Several Huguang silk merchants have congratulated Shi Jiuke.

Shi Jiuke's face turned red.

He actually only drank half a can of sake tonight, and didn't drink soju.

But at this moment, Shi Jiuke is like drinking half a catty of soju, and everyone is floating.

Dao He of several silk merchants woke him up, and immediately got up and said: "Zhu Gong is not with you, such a big thing, I have to rush back to Xinchang's hometown overnight to report the news, and we will go back to talk about ordering raw silk." ”

"No, no, no, that's how it was decided." Several silk merchants said in unison, "It doesn't matter if you don't care about it, but our few families only sell your raw silk, and the price is determined by Shi Gong." ”

"Okay, good, the price will definitely not be disadvantaged to the public."

Shi Jiuke was overjoyed when he heard this, this is really a good thing.

He turned his head and said to Li Zhenli: "Mama Li, the wine money is on my account." ”

"No need." Li Zhenli smiled and waved her hand and said, "This meal is invited." ”

After a while, Li Zhenli said again: "It should be the slave family who congratulates the Ming God of War." ”

"That's not good, how can anyone pay for the wine when you drink flower wine." Shi Jiuke resolutely refused.

After recording the wine account, Shi Jiuke hurriedly left Meixianglou and called his entourage to rush back to Xinchang's hometown overnight.

……

At the same time, in an alley near Gongyuan Street, two old men were drinking in a tavern, drinking a large pot of turbid wine for ten cents, accompanied only by a few small plates of pickled vegetables.

"Brother Mu Zhai, you have more gray hair on your head." Huang Daozhou said.

Qian Qianyi sighed lightly and said desolately: "I'm almost seventy years old, can my hair not be gray?" ”

"I'm also sixty-four years old, and I originally planned to return to my hometown in Zhangpu to write a few more articles while I was still dead and sort out the library for many years, and put a coffin after death, but I ...... after all."

Zodiac Zhou stopped halfway through and didn't go on.

"But after all, I am unwilling." Qian Qianyi continued.

"It can't be said that it is unwilling, but it can't be seen that the Ming Dynasty is sliding into the abyss of no return." Huang Daozhou said with a complicated expression, "The ideas propagated in various newspapers are very dangerous, what kind of personality is equal, what men and women are equal, what kind of people are noble and gentle, these ideas are true, and in the long run, the world will inevitably be in chaos." ”

"Nonsense." The wine lady slammed a pot of hot wine that had just been scalded on the table, and Liu Mei reprimanded, "You old antiques are hiding in the corner and sighing, I think the current Daming is really prosperous, and even the livelihood of Gongyuan Street is more than ten times better than in previous years, why is there chaos in the world?" ”

The tavern proprietress is really angry, where did she have the opportunity to show up and make money three years ago?

But now, not only can she show up and sell wine, but the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law of each family can also go to work in various workshops to earn money to support their families, and they have money in their hands, and they also have the confidence to speak in front of their own officials.

"People's hearts are not ancient, and the world is declining." Huang Daozhou and Qian Qianyi shook their heads angrily.

At this moment, a sky-shattering cheer suddenly sounded outside the alley, long live Daming!

Immediately, a young man rushed in and shouted: "Hunhe victory, mother, Hunhe victory!" ”
