Chapter 618: Black Shop
The people in the royal capital were pleasantly surprised to find that after the Tang army broke through the city of Pyongyang, it did not bring them any bad changes, everything in the city was as usual, there was no killing, no looting, only soldiers and horses patrolling everywhere, at first everyone saw the soldiers and horses patrolling everywhere and felt scared, but later, especially when they found that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty ate and drank tea and gave money, they were no longer afraid, not only did not feel afraid, but felt a little at ease, however, the most happy thing was that the imperial court issued a series of decrees, including tax reduction, Originally, everyone thought that the Tang Emperor would occupy Goguryeo and would be expropriated and violently, squeezing and enslaving their Goguryeo people, but I didn't expect the Tang Emperor to recuperate lightly, this is really happy, Pyongyang City is calm and tranquil, but Li Er has become extremely busy since he entered the palace, and he is still working at night, not for the beauties in the palace, but for the political affairs of Goguryeo, after this series of chaos, Goguryeo can be said to be in ruins, and for the emperor, it is not just as simple as re-stabilizing Goguryeo, but also to let the officials and people of Goguryeo return to the Tang Dynasty, which is not something that can be done overnight, so it must be planned carefully, Li Er, Changsun Wuji, Xu Shiji and others are very busy, but Li Yong is idle, and the Shenji Battalion is also idle, because the Shenji Battalion does not need to patrol at all, nor does it need to defend the town, let alone sweep away the defeated troops, capture Pyongyang City, and even the last defenders have surrendered, Even the ministers in the court have surrendered, which means that the general trend has been decided, and those cities that have not been captured will inevitably fall to the wind, and there may be cities that refuse to surrender, but that is not a big problem, and there is no need to even send the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty to attack, Li Chengrui and other surrendered generals are estimated to be happy to have the opportunity to perform, and it is rare to have a time to be idle, and Li Yong finally does not have to live in the big tent anymore, the prestige of artillery, now Li Yong's name is extremely loud in Goguryeo, and it can even be said that it is even louder than Li Er's name, Who doesn't know that Li Yong is a hero of the Tang Dynasty, and who doesn't know that no one can match the grace of God? Therefore, I don't know how many people in Pyongyang City rushed to give up their luxurious mansion to Li Yong to live in, and finally Li Yong still lived in Gao Yanshou's house, because Gao Yanshou's house is the cleanest, since Gao Yanshou's army was defeated and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, the concubines in the house, the ones who were killed and killed, and the ones who were sold, can be said to be clean and clean, clean and beautiful, Gao Yanshou's house is really good, the only fly in the ointment is that it is a bit big, it was originally a good thing, but Jin Shengman also felt that it was big and she herself had nowhere to go, Li Yong is not reluctant to let Jin Shengman live in, but he is afraid that he will not be able to control it, it used to be in the barracks, not to mention that he has to march and fight all day long, just that kind of range can make people suppress the distractions in their hearts, but in the picturesque manor, plus everyone is relaxed, it is the so-called full of warm thoughts, so Li Yong is really afraid that he will not be able to hold it, since he is idle, of course he has to go out for a walk, this time the Eastern Crusade was a tourist at that time, and he had to give Li Li quality, Wu Yu and the others went back with some gifts, and as soon as Li Yong stepped on the war horse, a tactful voice sounded behind him.
"The county lord is going out?"
Jin Shengman Lian stepped lightly to move the money.
"Oh yes, it's rare to take a break and go out for a walk."
Li Yong smiled, and Jin Shengman was surprised when he heard it.
"Great, I'm going to go out for a walk, but I'm a little scared by myself!"
Li Yong was speechless, you have maids and guards, what are you afraid of?
"I'm going out to ride a horse, you ......"
Li Yong said with a hesitant expression.
"I'm riding a horse, too! I've been riding horses all the way! ”
Jin Shengman said with a smile, her original riding skills were good, with the Tang Army all the way east, her riding skills have improved, so Jin Shengman decisively turned over, very heroic, and it was impossible to drive people back, Li Yong didn't say anything anymore, followed the horse, followed Li Yong's side, Jin Shengman was very relieved, only brought two maids to ride behind her, in fact, Li Yong only brought a dozen guards, now the city is full of Tang soldiers and horses, he is not worried that someone will be unfavorable to him, after all, Even if he assassinated him, it was useless, and the artillery musket would not disappear, but would provoke the emperor to be furious and kill, go out of the mansion, and ride along the long street with Li Yong, Jin Shengman's mood is very good, this is simply a scene that only appears in her dreams, of course, it would be better if she could ride along the long street of Jincheng with Li Yong, Jin Shengman asked coquettishly.
"Where do you want to go?"
In fact, Jin Shengman doesn't care where to go around, as long as he doesn't go to the Qinglou, Li Yong said with a smile.
"Just take a stroll, see the scenery of Pyongyang City, and buy some gifts by the way."
"Gifts?"
Jin Shengman was very surprised when he heard it, I don't know how many people rushed to tie up Li Yong, and who else did Li Yong need to buy gifts? Besides, you can make a fortune when you come out to fight, even if you don't loot, there will be loot, and there will definitely be no less loot for a general like Li Yong, so why do you need to buy gifts.
"When you come to Goguryeo, you always have to bring some gifts back home."
Li Yong explained with a smile, it turned out that he was going to prepare a gift for Princess Changle, Jin Shengman suddenly felt so sour when he heard it, and said with some resentment.
"The county lord is really considerate."
Is that considerate? If it is placed in the future generations, this can only be regarded as a routine operation, if you go out and come back without gifts, then I am afraid that the door will not be able to help it, even if you enter the house, you can only sleep on the sofa, but in this era, this is indeed considerate, if Princess Changle and Wu Cao knew that Li Yong specially bought gifts for them, they would probably be moved to cry.
"Idle is idle!"
Li Yong is not good at showing affection in front of Jin Shengman, and he says very casually.
"What gift is the county going to buy? I can help you with ideas! ”
Jin Shengman quickly cleaned up her mood, after all, she also has self-knowledge, although she is also a princess, but she can't compare with Princess Changle at all, let alone compare with Princess Changle, even if she compares with Wu Jue, she can't compare!
"Let's just see, it's mainly about shopping!"
Li Yong said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, then let's go to Dongcheng, I heard that Dongcheng is very prosperous, there are many golden buildings, pawnshops, and we can just walk along the river to see the scenery!"
Jin Shengman proposed, and his sweetheart along the riverside to believe in the reins, the river is sparkling, the riverside leaves are colorful, think about it is beautiful, Jin Shengman is very excited.
"Okay!"
Li Yong nodded indispensably, anyway, he just wanted to go everywhere, everywhere he went, in just a few days, the city of Pyongyang was revitalized, the people should be working, are running for a living, as if the breaking of the city has never happened, just for their chats to add talking material, of course, there are also some scholars by the river to the river, chanting a few sour poems, or remembering the previous dynasty, or lamenting the ruin of the country, or praising the Tang Emperor Kuanren, Li Yong passed by and heard it and just smiled indifferently, and did not pursue it, Because it's not worth pursuing at all, there is a way that scholars have failed to rebel for ten years, and these scholars can't do anything else except chant a few sour poems that no one cares about, so Li Yong's mood has not been ruined by a few sour poems that he occasionally hears, but has always been full of interest, because the delicacy in the city is really good, and there is a pleasing princess to accompany him, which really makes people feel good.
"Did the county lord hear their poems?"
Jin Shengman asked coquettishly.
"I heard it, to be honest, this poem stinks!"
Li Yong shook his head with a smile and said, in fact, Jin Shengman felt that the poems he just heard were written well, after all, they were also touched, although the words were not gorgeous, but they were sincere in their feelings, but when they thought that Li Yong was the number one talent in the world, these poems were indeed too far behind Li Yong's poems.
"I think these poems are written well, of course, compared with the county prince's masterpiece, it is far inferior, I thought the county prince would be angry when he heard it!"
Jin Shengman said coquettishly, and Li Yong shook his head with a smile.
"Angry? That's not it, the country is ruined, and it's normal to write a few poems with emotion, but as for saying that they want to rebel, they don't dare. ”
"The county prince is really lenient and generous!"
Jin Shengman's face was full of affection, this admiring and affectionate gaze was really refreshing, Li Yong coughed dryly.
"There seem to be a few shops over there that look good, let's go check them out!"
The language of the Tang Dynasty is very popular among the dignitaries and nobles of Goguryeo, whether it is etiquette, classics, poetry, songs, clothing, food, housing, and transportation, as long as it is popular in the Tang Dynasty, they will follow suit, but Li Yong is not sure whether the people in the store can also speak Chinese, but fortunately, there is a little foreign language expert next to him, Kim Shengman is worthy of being the princess of Silla, proficient in the languages of Silla, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Datang.
"Oh, please come inside!"
The guys in the store are very enthusiastic, the business in the store is very bleak in the past two months, especially in this half a month, there is no business at all, and now there are finally customers, of course they are very enthusiastic, and their eyesight is excellent, at a glance they know that the identity of the person is extraordinary, absolutely generous.
"If there are any good things, take them out and take a look!"
Jin Shengman said with a smile, and the shopkeeper couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, not only because the voice was tactful and pleasant, but also because he said it very atmospherically.
"You two are really here, we really have good things in this store!"
The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face, while motioning to the guy to take out the good things, the guy carefully took out a beautiful wooden box, just look at the wooden box to know that the contents must be extraordinary.
"This is something that our owner has obtained with great difficulty, and it is very rare and precious."
The shopkeeper carefully opened the wooden box, revealing the true face of the baby in the wooden box, both Li Yong and Jin Shengman were stunned, and they felt a little crying and laughing.
"This is a complete set of glazed tea sets, lo and behold, all of them are transparent and clear, the six tea bowls are very uniform in size, and all of them have no flaws at all, how rare is this......
The shopkeeper said with spittle, and actually sold the glass tea set to Li Yong, Jin Shengman couldn't help laughing, glanced at Li Yong, and asked interestingly.
"It does look pretty good, how much is it worth?"
"This set of glass tea sets is really rare, of course it is worth a lot of money, and I want this number!"
The shopkeeper gestured.
"Five hundred!"
"Five hundred?"
Li Yong was very surprised, after all, a glass in Chang'an is only a dozen yuan, even if it is difficult to transport to Goguryeo, it will not be 500 yuan! Jin Shengman couldn't help but snort, smiling like a flower, seeing the charming smile of the noble young lady in front of him, the shopkeeper couldn't help but feel excited, and hurriedly smiled.
"Childe, miss, what do you think? If you missed it, maybe you won't be able to meet such a good glass teacup in your life, and it's another set, it's rare! ”
Jin Shengman said with a smile.
"But I heard that the Rongfu County Duke of the Tang Dynasty has cracked the secret recipe of the glaze, in Chang'an, a glazed appliance only costs more than a dozen Wen, and the most expensive is only a hundred Wen, and the quality is also very good!"
The shopkeeper listened to the embarrassment on his face and sneered.
"That's just hearsay, hearsay, such a good glass teacup, even if it is placed in Chang'an, it is rare to see, however, I think the two of them are probably not interested in the glass cup, it doesn't matter, we have other good things in the store!"
The shopkeeper was also knowledgeable, and when he saw that the person in front of him was well-informed, he immediately changed his style of speech and said mysteriously.
"Since this young lady knows so much about Datang, she must know about perfume, right?"
Jin Shengman couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this.
"You still have perfume here?"
After hearing this, the shopkeeper took out a more exquisite brocade box, and then opened the brocade box, with a smile on his face.
"I didn't take it out before, I was afraid that Miss didn't know the goods, it seems that Miss has also heard of the name of perfume, this is made by the Tang Rongfu County Duke for his beloved wife Princess Changle, I heard that there are not even a few bottles in the palace, and it is difficult to find a thousand gold on the market, its preciousness is self-evident, a price, two thousand!"
Li Yong looked at the perfume in the brocade box and was speechless, can you Goguryeo still have some precious things with local characteristics? Although Li Yong can't speak Goguryeo, he can understand some simple words, and he is very two thousand times, which is dark and black, just when Li Yong complained in his heart, Jin Shengman nodded and said.
"Two thousand, okay, I want this bottle of perfume!"
I have to say that Princess Silla is atmospheric, and she is two thousand guan as soon as she makes a shot, but just to buy a bottle of perfume? Li Yong said speechlessly.
"Two thousand kan, you're crazy, aren't you?"
Jin Shengman turned his head to look at Li Yong and said quietly.
"This is specially made by the county prince for Princess Changle, and I finally came across a bottle, of course I have to buy it."
Li Yong said helplessly,
"Before leaving for the expedition, didn't Changle give you several bottles?"
