The two people who entered the store and bought a complete set of pearl heads and a box of pearls inquired about the general situation in the city from the mouth of the proprietress.

When the two left, the proprietress reluctantly sent the person to the door.

"The two sons will come back next time! There are good goods for the two nobles! ”

After the two left, the proprietress happily took out the gold ingot she had just received, put it to her mouth and bit it down fiercely.

Seeing a few more tooth marks, the proprietress happily put away the gold ingots.

She hadn't opened a show for five days, and if she continued like this, she would only close it.

Since the emergence of refugees in Fucheng, business has been getting worse day by day.

Fortunately, she was clever at the time, and she closed the store for a while and hid at home and didn't dare to go out, otherwise she would definitely be targeted.

Now all the refugees have been driven out of the city, but business is also deteriorating, and there is no improvement at all.

It's like a grain shop or a blacksmith shop, where business is so good that people line up day and night.

"Erliang, close the door!

There is no business when it is open, so it is better to go home and trim the flowers in the yard.

The old lady finally opened the store, and no one entered the jewelry store opposite. ”

The proprietress glanced at the other side, twisted her waist and threw a flying eye, and only turned around with a roll of the eyes of the woman standing at the door.

…

Walking on the street, Ziyu and Libai saw that every blacksmith shop was in full swing, and the people queuing outside had already lined up half a mile away.

Ziyu stepped forward with a curious look on her face and shook her iron fan, and bowed her hand to a kind old woman.

"Old man, what good things are you queuing up to buy!"

The old woman's cloudy eyes looked at the purple jade and said with a wry smile.

"Little boy doesn't know, this is a blacksmith shop, selling farm tools.

One or two halves of silver and a hoe, if you don't buy it, you can't do it! ”

"One or two halves, this is too expensive!" Ziyu said with a sympathetic expression.

"Well, who's to say it's not!

In the past, you could buy a good hoe for just over 100 yuan, but now the old ones cost one or two pieces of silver. ”

"That's it, it's not for us to live!"

……

Everyone complained one after another, and Ziyu could feel that the resentment was not ordinary.

"The government didn't come forward to take charge?" Ziyu looked at the few people who spoke.

"Official, it's okay not to mention it!

Iron ore has always been in the hands of the government, and he can sell as much as he wants, who cares about the lives of the poor.

Childe was born in a rich family, of course, he doesn't know the suffering of the poor, so it's better to stay away from us!

Lest we collide with your son, we will be the ones who will be hit by the board! ”

The middle-aged man on crutches looked at Ziyu with a bit of hatred, and in his eyes, the rich were not a good person.

It is all lying on the poor and sucking blood, which will cause them to be poor and unable to eat.

"What the uncle said is very true, farewell!" Ziyu nodded in agreement with the middle-aged man's words.

If the rich really knew the suffering of the poor, it would not be the status quo today.

The emperor who is high above can't understand the suffering of the people, so what can he do to ask the rich to understand the suffering of the people.

Class divisions are not formed in one or two generations, and jealousy and hatred must have the ability to overthrow the imperial power.

…

Ziyu, who knew that it was hopeless to buy farm tools, had to turn to the cloth shop, which was also one of the most scarce materials in Daxia Fort.

Only the clothes of the guards, the inventory of the Great Xia Fort is not enough to equip them.

Cloth is not a necessity, and the price increase is not obvious, but the stock of cloth shops is mainly cotton and coarse cloth.

Cloths such as silk and silk, all of which were in very small stock in the four cloth shops that were raided, were also bought by the two of them.

Because of the large quantity, I helped the cloth store clear the inventory.

Under Ziyu's bargaining, the cloth in each cloth shop was sold at a 20% discount, and the rag heads, needle money, and the like were given away for free.

The whole stock of the four cloth shops was more than 500 pieces of cloth, and it cost a total of three hundred taels of six gold ingots to fill the ten carriages invited by the four shops.

Li Bai saw Ziyu's bargaining, but he didn't dare to say that they couldn't bargain when they bought things, because he was afraid of being sprayed by Ziyu.

Otherwise, the little guy who likes to hold grudges will make fun of him for the rest of his life.

As a man's face, he still wants it, so Libai chose to keep his mouth shut.

But he didn't know that one day Ziyu would learn from others and still make fun of him for the rest of his life.

…

Ziyu, who felt hungry, bought five baskets of steamed buns and three pennies a white steamed bun at a bun shop on the street.

The price has tripled, and the size is also smaller than the original, only equivalent to the size of a bun in later generations.

Ziyu gave the white steamed buns she bought to four of the ten people who drove the carriage, and put them in her arms after thanking them for being reluctant to eat.

also got his hand, and before he had time to thank him, he directly stuffed his mouth and took a big bite, gobbling it up even if he was choking and sticking his neck.

Ziyu didn't say anything, and got into the first carriage with Libai, and the long line set off towards the city gate.

The two people sitting in the carriage nibbled on the same white steamed buns as the coachman, chewing slowly.

The most common food for the people of Daxiabao has become an extremely rare good thing in these, just look at those who are reluctant to eat.

"How long will the calm days last!" The purple jade that gnawed on the steamed bun muttered.

"Maybe a year, maybe two years, the initiative is in the hands of others!"

Libai doesn't like Ziyu to worry about the world, and the people are not their responsibility.

"After a long war, the people of the rivers and lakes will participate!

It's better to click the Northern Emperor and see how he can start a war! ”

"It's not that easy, unless there's a team like ours.

The Beimang people are warlike and brave, and if they kill one Beidi, there will be a second Beidi.

The Baiyun Kingdom is weak and vast, it is a lamb to the slaughter, and the surrounding forces are eyeing it, and it is only a matter of time before it is divided.

The Wild Wolf Tribe and the Western Ice Fields are the biggest threats, and the future situation is worrying. ”

Li Bai carefully studied the map that Ziyu took out, and knew that the person who could draw such a detailed map had long coveted the world of Baiyun Kingdom.

Internal and external collusion is inevitable, and looking at the map, there is an inconspicuous dividing line, which is to divide the Baiyun Kingdom into two.

Those who don't know will think that it is a north-south line.

Only Libai, who had seen the map of the distribution of forces, knew that the line was neither a mountain nor a river, and it was obvious that it was a map of the demarcation between the two forces.

was just robbed by Ziyu halfway, and inadvertently saved many people's lives, so that they would not become slaves of the country.

Ziyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she whispered a few words in Libai's ear.

Li Bai looked at her deeply, took the person into his arms, and said in a low voice.

"Ziyu, I don't want you to take the risk.

You know, if we can think of Jianghu people, there will be no shortage in the north.

Besides, we have our own business to do.

If we both leave, don't worry about those people staying!

Perhaps, by the time we go back, it will have become someone else's territory.

You have spent so much energy, financial resources, and material resources to build, but you are willing to do it! ”

Libai's idea of paying tribute to Ziyu was ten thousand disagree, and as soon as the matter came out, the consequences were not something that the current Baiyun Kingdom could afford.
