Chapter 221: Temptation

After a day of preparation, Wang Cezhi embarked on the journey to Yunzhou County, the capital of the city.

In the eyes of today's Nanli County and Woye County, Yunzhou County is equivalent to the status of Bianjing of the Great Song Dynasty here.

Therefore, the Song people in Nanli County and Woye County called Yunzhou County their capital.

In everyone's acquiescence, everyone actually knows in their hearts that King Yun's command has actually become a kingdom independent of the Great Song Dynasty.

And the Cloud King is the king of such a kingdom, which is also the common recognition of everyone.

It's just that it hasn't been officially shown in the official face, but in the hearts of the people of Yunzhou County, Nanli County and Woye County, Yunwang Zhao Jun is already their monarch.

Wang Ce drove lightly and simply, and did not bring too many people, so he took a few Tatars and went on the road, which lasted about ten days and arrived at the boundary of Yunzhou County and came to Yunzhou City.

It had been a year since he last returned to Yunzhou City, which had been undergoing rapid changes every day since six years ago.

Now that I haven't seen it for a year, the changes in Yunzhou City are not small.

There are more people on the streets, and there are more concrete buildings lining the concrete streets.

Many shops have been rebuilt to expand the area of the shops without being able to purchase the surrounding land.

The advent of cement has made the height of buildings begin to rise, and the excess steel production has made everyone so extravagant that they are willing to add steel bars to buildings.

With the advent of reinforced concrete, it also means that the height of the original ancient floors began to rise.

Now Wang Cezhi is walking on the street, looking at the towering four-story and five-story buildings around him, he feels like a world away.

I can't help but sigh in my heart, Yunzhou County is still the capital after all, and the development here is beyond the reach of Nanli County, and there is a qualitative gap between the two.

So far, at least, Nanli County has been responsible for the grain production area, and Yunzhou County has no plans for commercial development there.

So I'm afraid that for a long time, this kind of prosperous scene in Yunzhou County may not appear in Nanli County, which makes Wang Cezhi feel a little pity.

He entered the city in the afternoon, and when he entered the city, it was already dark, although there was no such thing as a curfew for Yunzhou City, even in the middle of the night, there would be a brightly lit place in Yunzhou City.

There are even streets that are only crowded at night.

But the county guard yamen of Yunzhou City must be unmanned after dark.

So if you want to report for duty, you can only wait for tomorrow.

Wang Cezhi found a hotel to live in at random, but the price of staying in the hotel surprised him a little.

An ordinary middle room actually needs a penny of silver for a night, and it doesn't include meals, so you need to spend extra money to buy it.

If this is in Nanli County, such a medium room will not exceed 20 Wen at most, but in Yunzhou County, it has increased fivefold!

This can't help but make Wang Cezhi feel like a kind of capital residence, which is not easy.

Fortunately, as the head of a county, plus he is a retired soldier in the army, there is also a certain retirement allowance every month.

This money will be paid for five years, although it is not much, but it is also a lot, only one or two pieces of silver.

Enough for a person not to starve to death.

This thousand silver, Wang Cezhi still came out.

Wang Cezhi, who had paid the money, quickly returned to his room and began to rest.

What he didn't know was that as soon as he entered the city, the secret guard had already reported his information, real-time data and even traces to Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun, who was eating dinner at home, was interested in it after receiving the report, so he picked it up and looked at it, which made Princess Ye Yin quite curious about who could make him read his information when he ate?

To this, Zhao Jun's reply was: "It's an interesting person." ”

Then he looked at the news to himself.

When he saw Wang Cezhi settle down in an ordinary restaurant outside the yamen, Zhao Jun's eyes rolled and he had an idea.

……

Following!

Early morning.

The office hours of the yamen in Yunzhou County are set after four o'clock.

But Wang Cezhi has already developed the habit of getting up early.

After washing up, seeing that it was still early, I decided to go down for breakfast.

He looked at it when he checked in yesterday, and this store is sold early in the morning, so he doesn't have to go outside.

When I came to the lobby on the first floor, there were already a lot of customers in the store.

With the development of Yunzhou County, the rhythm of the entire Yunzhou County has also changed rapidly, and most of the people living in the city have stopped eating breakfast at their own homes.

In order to save time, most of the meals in the morning are eaten out.

In addition, the food in Yunzhou County is not expensive now, so most people are used to eating breakfast outside.

Due to the large amount of grain imported from Nanli County and Woye County, the grain of Yunzhou County has now been reduced to five wen per catty.

This has led to a reduction in the overall food price in Yunzhou County.

The people's consumption in this aspect of eating has become smaller, and the most intuitive manifestation is that the big white steamed buns that originally cost ten cents a piece can now be bought for two!

If there is a meat stuffed bun, it will be more expensive, but it is also much cheaper than before, and the big meat bun that originally cost 20 yuan a piece only costs 10 yuan now.

Some people may think it is expensive, but there is no possibility, the buns in Yunzhou County are three times the size of a normal adult's fist, and they are big meat buns with real value, the real one!

As long as a young man eats one, he can fill his stomach for a morning!

Of course, ordinary people don't dare to eat like this, what kind of people can't help but eat like this, most people still eat the most ordinary coarse grain cakes, the original price is three wen one, now three wen can buy two.

The meat buns of coarse grain noodles can also be consumed for only five cents.

Two coarse grain cakes cost three cents to solve the morning meal, which is the normal cost of most people.

Although the white-flour steamed buns can already be consumed with the consumption power of the people of Yunzhou County, most of the people will only buy a few catties during the festival because of habits.

But even this has already made the people very satisfied, if they are in the Guannai, the price of coarse grains will almost allow them to buy white noodles, and now life is much better than before.

Everyone was satisfied.

Wang Cezhi is a native of Nanyang, and his taste prefers pasta, so he came downstairs to call the shopkeeper and ordered two oil cakes and a big bowl of spicy soup, which cost less than ten cents in total

The oil cake is two pieces and a big head!

Hu spicy soup is directly a sea bowl, almost as big as oil cakes, a bowl is only four pennies!

A breakfast totals eight cents, even if it is a big-bellied man like Wang Cezhi who was born in the army, he can eat it to his heart's content.

It's a great deal!

Just as Wang Ce was enjoying a mouthful of oil cakes and a mouthful of spicy soup, suddenly two people sat down at his table.

Both of them looked to be in their twenties, both dressed as businessmen, one wearing a moon-white robe, and the other wearing black.

As soon as he sat down, he saw that the white-robed young man who should be in charge arched his hand to Wang Cezhi and said, "Brother! The number of seats in the store is tight, I wonder if I can share one together, which is convenient? ”

Wang Cezhi looked up when he heard this, only to find that he didn't know when the store was already full of customers.

The two of them really couldn't find a place to sit, so they found themselves.

Waving his hand, Wang Ce said: "When you go out, it's just a convenience, why not, brother, please sit!" ”

Hearing this, the white-robed young man suddenly showed a smile on his face, and arched his hand and thanked him: "Thank you, brother!" That sat down at the bottom. ”

Wang Cezhi stretched out his hand to signal casually.

The two sat down and quickly ordered something, and after a while, the kung fu table was filled with the things ordered by the two, and there were eighteen dishes to eat early, all of which were southern dishes, such as steamed chicken feet with powder, steamed rice rolls, milky steamed buns, etc.

It can be said that it was an eye-opener for Wang Cezhi, and for the first time he knew that there were still these early meals.

The white-robed young man invited with a smile: "Brother, if you don't dislike it, please don't be polite, just enjoy it with us!" ”

Wang Cezhi wanted to refuse, but he still ate together at the warm invitation of the white-robed youth.

While eating, the two sides chatted.

In the process of chatting, Wang Cezhi learned that the white-robed young man was named Zhao Shuai, who was actually a person from the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, from Lingyue County in the south of the Great Song Dynasty, and this time he specially sent a batch of goods to Yunzhou County, and now that the goods have been delivered, he will go back in a few days.

Zhao Shuai then asked Wang Cezhi's identity, Wang Cezhi thought about it and told his real name, but he concealed his identity, only saying that he was a businessman who came to Yunzhou County from Nanli County to do business.

Zhao Shuai didn't seem suspicious, and the two sides continued to talk.

Suddenly, he heard Zhao Shuai change the topic, and said with a smile: "The younger brother has been going south and north with his elders since he started doing business, but he has seen many foreign races, the Huns have seen it, the Tatars have seen it, and even the Dayue clan that has now been driven out of the grassland has also seen it.

Most of these steppe people are fierce and violent, they don't know how to be honest and shameful, they only speak for profit, if you can't bring them benefits, then they will not hesitate to show their fangs, which is really difficult to deal with.

But some time ago, I heard from my colleagues in the Chamber of Commerce that the character of the poisonous people in Nanli County is different from that of the Huns, and they are a very good and kind race.

I have plans to go over there and do business with them.

I wonder if this rumor is true? ”

Hearing this, Wang Cezhi's brows wrinkled, and he looked at Zhao Shuai and solemnly admonished:

Zhao Gongzi, you must know a truth, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different.

Now the poisonous people in Nanli County seem to have a good personality and are easy to contact, and that is because they are already under the rule of King Yun, so they are so honest.

The dishonest ones have all been disposed of.

But that's not the nature of a poisonous person.

A real poison person is greedy, cunning and arrogant, and he is not a good person.

Therefore, if you really want to do business with a poisonous person, you must be vigilant to avoid being played by the other party.

You must always be vigilant against foreign races! ”

At this time, Zhao Shuai asked meaningfully: "Brother Wang, why does the younger brother always feel that you are a little prejudiced against other races?"

It seems that in your eyes, those aliens don't have a good person? ”

Wang Cezhi was silent......
