Chapter 223: This Guard's Not Doing
Eh, I will.
Qianhu breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "All the thousand households of my Ming Dynasty are under the jurisdiction of ten hundred households according to the system, with a total of 1,120 people. ”
Zhu Bai's eyes lit up: "Amazing, so many people?!" This king wants to send troops! ”
Qianhu's heart trembled, and he whispered: "King Xiang, more than a thousand people, it's quite troublesome to gather." ”
Zhu Bai thought for a while and said, "Yes, then let's do it, give you some time." It's the middle of now. At noon, the king came to order troops. Half an hour, enough for you to gather your soldiers. ”
Thousands of households are silent.
Zhu Bai took out the "Ru I am coming" sign in his arms and shook it.
Qianhu could only say, "Yes." ”
Zhu Bai secretly sneered: To be honest, according to Lao Zhu's cantonment system, it is difficult to have no deserters.
He was curious about how Suzhou Qianhu did it.
You'll find out when you see these guards with your own eyes.
------
Then Zhu Bai went out into the streets.
The street is a calligraphy and painting shop.
Zhu Bai's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw the "Stone Pingyuan Map" hanging in the center.
Tut-tut, I didn't expect to see old friends when I got here.
Although I burned one, I don't know how many more.
The name of Suzhou's "Calligraphy and Painting Counterfeiting Center" is really not covered.
Zhu Bai walked towards the painting.
The shopkeeper hurriedly came up and greeted: "The little boy's eyesight is really good, this is the masterpiece of the great painter Guo Xi of the Northern Song Dynasty in his later years." Guo Xi is good at painting landscapes, and in his later years, he can put his mind at ease and be perfect. Even Song Shenzong Zhao Ji loved his paintings and Wang Anshi admired his paintings. ”
Zhu Bai stared at the painting and stretched out his hand to Fugui.
Fugui hurriedly handed the magnifying glass to Zhu Bai.
The shopkeeper saw that he was still an expert and had special tools, so he began to beat the drum in his heart.
Zhu Bai followed what Yun Qi taught him, and looked at it carefully with a magnifying glass, tsk, it was really fake.
He asked the treasurer, "How much silver?" ”
Shopkeeper: "This is the treasure of the store, and it cannot be sold unless it is ten thousand taels of silver." ”
Zhu Bai nodded: "Guo Xi's authentic work, this price is very fair." ”
He took out the silver ticket from his bosom and shook it.
I caught a big fish today! The rich second generation is so easy to deceive!!
The shopkeeper was overjoyed: "Okay. That's wrapping you up. ”
As if unintentionally, Zhu Bai asked, "I want all of them." ”
The shopkeeper replied while busy: "There are eight more." ”
Then he suddenly realized that he had slipped his mouth, and hurriedly said, "I mean, there are still eight Guo Xi's paintings in the shop." ”
Zhu Bai was afraid that this shopkeeper had been deceived, but he didn't know that this was a fake.
Because this one is a very good imitation in a fake, if it is placed in future generations, it is very valuable.
Just this sentence, I tried the shopkeeper out.
Zhu Bai didn't tear him down, and grinned: "Tut-tut, I can't see it." Suzhou is really a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden. There are not many authentic works of Guo Xi in total, and there are as many as eight or nine paintings in your small shop. ”
The shopkeeper was embarrassed: "Yes, the son has won the award." ”
Zhu Bai: "Take them all out, let me see which of Guo Xi's paintings are there." ”
Shopkeeper: "It's so precious, so I don't put it all in the store." Why don't you come back tomorrow? ”
Tomorrow when the boy comes again, he will say that he will sell it all.
Suddenly, a man came in and whispered a few words in the shopkeeper's ear.
The shopkeeper looked solemn and bowed his hand to Zhu Bai: "Childe, I'm sorry." The villain is in a hurry and wants to close the shop, so please go elsewhere. ”
Zhu Bai thought he was looking for an excuse to get out, and he didn't bother to entangle with him, so he walked out.
It was only when they came out that they found that many shops were closed.
Even Zhang Yu muttered in his heart: What are you doing? Zhu Bai just dismantled a shop that sold fakes, and there was no need to close all the streets.
Zhu Bai smiled, and when he saw that a pastry shop was about to close, he was busy: "Eh, don't worry, shopkeeper, weigh me some snacks and leave." ”
Seeing that Zhu Bai was followed by so many people, he must be a rich and noble man, and he was reluctant to let go of his good business, so he could only hurriedly say, "Okay." What do you want. ”
Zhu Bai said: "Give me half a catty." ”
The man was quick with his hands and feet, and more than a dozen pastries were weighed and packed: "A total of two taels of silver, thank you." ”
Zhu Bai said: "Why don't you do business today? ”
The man hurriedly moved the door panel to jam the door frame and said, "There is an emergency." ”
Zhu Bai said: "Then when will the door be opened again." ”
The man replied, "I don't know." Maybe tomorrow will do. ”
Zhang Yu and the others were even more surprised: they had never seen such a business, and they didn't know when they would open the door.
Zhu Bai smiled, took a piece of cake in his hand, and looked at the plaque on the pastry shop: "Chen's Pastry Shop."
He ate as he walked, and watched as he ate.
Every shopkeeper who is closing the door, he has to take a closer look.
After a while, all the shops on this street, except for Zhu Bai's shops selling books and stationery, were basically closed.
Zhu Bai walked to his shop.
When the shopkeeper saw that the big boss was coming, he hurriedly came out to greet him.
Zhu Bai raised his chin at the closed shops and asked the shopkeeper, "What are these people doing in a hurry?" ”
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed: he knew the reason, but he didn't dare to say.
Because if he said it, Zhu Bai would definitely rectify these people.
It's all from the villagers.
When the time comes, Zhu Bai pats his ass and leaves, and he will stay here to be a man.
Zhu Bai smiled: "Forget it, this king won't embarrass you." ”
It doesn't have much to do with him, no matter what's going on.
Zhu Bai turned to Zhang Yu and said, "Okay, there's nothing to shop about." Let's go back and wait for the troops. ”
At the end of the street, a beggar held out his hand to him: "Okay, okay, send some time." ”
Zhu Bai gave him a bag of osmanthus cakes.
------
On the school grounds, in the midday sun, a thousand soldiers lined up.
Zhu Bai stood on the platform and sighed: "Tsk, not bad, it's spectacular." ”
And then he went down.
Qianhu hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Highness." ”
Zhu Bai raised his eyebrows slightly: "Hey, why do you want to stop this king." This king wants to take a closer look, our warriors of the Ming Dynasty. ”
Qianhu could only clench his fists and retreat.
As soon as Zhu Bai went, many people lowered their heads.
These men were thin and white, very different from the other black and stout guards.
It's just that Zhu Bai is short.
They keep their heads down, and he can see them.
Some turn their heads, some look up at the sky, some reach out and touch their noses, and some yawn.
Zhu Bai shook his head: "Tsk, this year's guards can't do it." None of them can stand. ”
Qianhu felt that his self-esteem was deeply hurt, but he couldn't defend himself, it was so painful.
Where could Zhang Yu, who was born in the army, stand such a soldier, took out his horse whip and shouted: "According to my Ming military discipline, those who stand without solemnity, regardless of the reason, will be whipped ten times first." I'd like to see who else dares to stand without holding their heads up. ”
Now everyone immediately stood up straight, and no one dared to move anymore.
