Chapter 53: The Bazaar
coincided with the last big gathering before the Chinese New Year, and Weicang in the south of Yanling County was very lively.
Many carts came to exchange grain, cloth and other goods.
It is a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation, and all kinds of goods have fixed lots.
Yu Chen walked on the narrow streets, savoring slowly.
The Yu family manor is seven or eight miles north of Weicang, and two days after coming back, I was idle and had nothing to do, so I came out to shop.
At this time, he was walking through a vegetable stall and meat case area, where pheasants, ducks, hares, and wild deer could be seen everywhere, and the cries of selling came and went.
When the hunters and meat stall owners saw Yu Chen, their cries became more enthusiastic.
Even if the Chinese New Year is approaching, even if this year's harvest is good, even if Yingchuan does not suffer from military disasters this year, ordinary people are not very willing to exchange cloth and grain for meat.
There are only a few types of people who buy meat nowβ
They are not slaves, they can marry wives, they can have private property, and they are not so tight.
Craftsmen and craftsmen rely on their crafts to eat, especially blacksmiths who make weapons and farm tools, whether they work for the dock marshal or work alone, their lives will not be too bad.
Merchants, in the era of war and chaos, if businessmen want to go out to do business, they will generally gather a hundred to hundreds of guards, most of these people are native to their hometowns, and they will give some wine and meat during the New Year's holidays.
The last category is naturally local tycoons like Yu Chen, who can sometimes even wrap up all the meat in a market.
"For several years in Ji County, the countryside was deserted and empty, let alone the market, and I haven't even seen a few people." Yu Chen stopped, looked at the crowded bazaar, and suddenly felt a little unreal.
Jijun and Yingchuan seem to be two worlds.
Of course, he also knew that Yingchuan was already richer than Jijun, and the market was more lively, but the gap was so big that he was still shocked.
The destruction of people's livelihoods by war is too great.
"Since Grandpa has left Hebei, why should he worry about it anymore?" Yu Liang, who followed behind, said: "Liang Guo is very close, and if you take care of it, it will be useful in the future." β
In this Xiongnu invasion, the Liang State also suffered, and far surpassed Chen County. Not to mention that the beggar army was defeated and collapsed, and the counties and townships were also taken captive, and many people were discouraged and disappointed, and they were ready to cross south.
According to Chen Gong's method, a large number of displaced people must be resettled in Liang State.
My father brought back more than 2,000 households from Ji County, and this will still be a temporary rest in Puyang, and he will go south to Liang in the first month.
There are more than 3,000 remnants of the begging army, and they have begun to be resettled, and from now on they are all the people of Liang State, and they are no longer from this army or that army.
In the future, most of them will also set up the Tuntian Army.
After these sets, Liang Guo will slowly undergo profound changes, and Yu Liang has already seen all these changes in Chen County.
The people in charge of Chen County and Liang Guo will only be cronies among cronies, what is the future, needless to say, not to mention-
"Grandpa, brother, I bought a piece of jewelry, it's so beautiful." The voice of her sister Yu Wenjun sounded from behind.
Yu Chen glanced at his daughter and smiled bitterly.
I'm going to get married, and I'm still so naΓ―ve.
He didn't bother to bother with that, and continued to walk, stopping when he saw a lot of daily necessities.
Cheap linen cloth, combs, grates, clay pots, water tanks, clay utensils, wooden barrels, bamboo baskets, and even all kinds of farm tools......
After a moment of contemplation, he called an attendant and told him to go back to the house and call someone.
Some of the officials of Jijun who retreated south with him were in Puyang, and some lived in his house.
When he retreated, he also brought some money back from Jijun, and he planned to buy all these daily necessities from the market and distribute them to the people who went south with him.
Don't look at these daily necessities are inconspicuous, but they really can't be missing in life, since they are available in the market, it's better to buy them all, and to be honest, it's not necessarily enough.
He continued walking.
Yu Liang didn't know what his father was thinking, and he described the bright future prospects of the Yu family by himself: "Grandpa, you don't know, after the son went straight, there were colleagues from the shogunate who came to visit every day. Yesterday, Zhou Mo of Ancheng Zhou's also sent a car of gifts, saying that there was some misunderstanding before, haha. β
Yu Chen stopped.
Yu Liang didn't know why, and looked at his father.
"What have you done for Gong Chen recently?" Yu Chen asked.
"In the past two months, I have been recruiting new recruits for the Silver Spear Army, a total of more than 2,790 people, who were only recruited a few days ago, and are now being trained under Xuchang City."
"Is Gong Chen satisfied?"
"Of course I am satisfied." Yu Liang: This is not a lie.
He has followed Chen Gong, Wu Qian and others to recruit recruits several times, and he now knows who to recruit.
When the recruits' families migrate, they should be well organized.
In terms of these general affairs, he is still very competent, and Chen Gong has also praised him several times.
"In the future, you-" Yu Chen thought about it, sighed, and said, "I'll talk about it when I go back." β
Yu Liang felt that his father was not very happy, and nodded silently.
Walking and walking, a little two steps behind, to see what my sister and the others are doing.
Yu Wenjun and the four little sisters were wearing hats, their little faces were flushed, and they were so excited.
There was a carriage that didn't sit, so I had to get down and walk, walk all the way and look at it all the way, and then buy I don't know how many wronged things.
But they were full of interest, talking and laughing, and the youthful atmosphere almost came to their faces.
There is one thing to say, most of the people in Shao Xun's harem are mature and steady, like the five little white rabbits in front of him, but none of them are.

Don't say it, sometimes it can work wonders.
After strolling around the market until near noon, the group returned to the manor by car.
After lunch, the five little white rabbits gathered in Yu Wenjun's boudoir, put their heads together, and looked at a picture album at the bottom of the box.
The name of the book is "dowry painting", which is a compulsory subject for women of large families before they get married.
The more the white rabbits looked at it, the more they blushed.
Dowry painting, as the name suggests, teaches wives how to behave conjugal with their husbands.
There are many reasons why the family gives the knowledge of marrying a daughter to popularize this knowledge.
First, let them not be afraid.
For this reason, the women's expressions will be painted beautifully, as if they are enjoying themselves, and a little bit of flamboyant lyrics will be added to dispel their fear of these things.
After Yu Wenjun finished reading it, he handed it to his cousin Biqiu, and then lay on the couch, covering his face and snickering.
Biqiu was a little bolder, but his face was also flushed. At the end, he asked stupidly, "Didn't you say it hurts?" β
As soon as these words came out, the other little white rabbits all trembled, and they looked a little trembling and pitiful.
Yu Wenjun stopped smiling, and his face turned a little pale.
However, her expression quickly became firm, and there was a kind of heroic expression.
"Wenjun, you pinched my leg." Biqiu complained.
Yu Wenjun's face flushed, and he hurriedly retracted his hand.
"I heard that after Chen Gong's class, he lived in Kaocheng for more than a month." The female Zhuge Xun handed the dowry painting to the next person and said.
Yin took the dowry painting, glanced at it, and immediately felt ashamed.
After being ashamed, I couldn't help but glance at it again.
Then he retracted his gaze embarrassedly and peeked again......
"What to do in Kaocheng?" Yu Wenjun pinched his cousin's thigh again and asked subconsciously.
"Yuan Gui once said that he leaked his mouth, and the concubine of the East China Sea ......," Xun said quietly.
Everyone looked at the Xun family with surprised eyes, and the female Zhuge was really the female Zhuge ......
Yu Wenjun pinched harder.
Biqiu was so pained that tears were about to flow out, but she looked at her cousin worriedly and clutched her hand tightly.
"Actually, don't worry too much." Yin quietly put away the dowry painting and whispered.
The eyes of the crowd turned to her again.
Yin became even more nervous, and stammered, "Yingchuan...... The Yingchuan clan is one, and Chen Gong is an understanding person. β
After saying this, my head almost fell to the instep of my feet.
Xun couldn't help but look at Yin twice, and her little face was a little unhappy with childishness and dignity, after all, she hadn't cultivated to the point where she could not be shocked.
After sorting out his thoughts, Xun continued: "When I returned home, I saw people from the Chen family in Xuchang coming to visit. Chen Liangfu is the Taishou of Yingchuan, and after Chen Yan, the former captain of the Shouchun Branch, ran back, he entered the shogunate as a bureaucracy, and their family will not support anyone else, but will only support Yingchuan's own people. β
"Some time ago, the people of the Zhong family of the Changshe came to the door to marry Uncle Pre (Yu Yi), and they would not support outsiders."
"Qi Niang's brother-" Speaking of this, Xun patted Yin and said, "I have brought my own troops to join the army, and I want to serve Chen Gong." Pu Tao's two elder brothers are Chen Gong's martial arts students. Even the Xuanzhu family had to buy Jiangnan goods for Chengong City and sell them to the north to replenish military supplies. Don't be afraid. β
As Xun said, the three families of Yu, Xun and Yin have expressed their support for Chen Gong with practical actions.
The Biqiu family, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, also sent people to Yanling, and after the year, someone would enter the shogunate or county, and at the same time help establish a trade route between Yuzhou and Jiangdong.
In addition to these families, the scholars of Yingchuan and even the entire Yuzhou will be rushing to Xuchang, and it will not be over this year. Before arriving in Xuchang, without exception, they will come to Yanling and pay a visit to Yujiazhuang.
Some people are completely lying to win, because Shao Huangmao's roots are in Yuzhou, especially in western Henan.
's father is the history of Liang's country, his uncle is Gaoping Taishou, the other uncle is in the court, the eldest brother is the shogunate to join the army, and the third brother is a minor official in the court, and he is about to go to Yangxia to serve as a county commander.
The sisters of the girlfriend group, the family is also contributing to Chen Gong's career through various ways......
After Xun finished speaking, Yin quietly raised his head and stuffed the dowry painting into Yu Wenjun's hand.
Yu Wenjun glanced at her, but quietly put it away.
At the critical moment, the sisters who have played from childhood to adulthood are reliable.
It was snowing outside, and the lattices were pounding.
The wedding date is approaching, and the five little white rabbits are finally no longer so heartless. The dowry painting made them realize that they would soon be the wives of the Shao family, and from now on, no one would spoil them unconditionally and accommodate them, and they would start a new life in a strange environment.
The snow is falling heavier and heavier, and the road outside the Yu family manor is full of cars and horses.
The land of Henan gradually completed a new political reshuffle, and the political group of the scholars represented by Yingchuan took shape again.
Almost at the same time, Shao Xun was constantly collecting land, relocating government soldiers, expanding recruitment, and slowly building a martial arts group. Its landmark event is that more than a dozen wounded and retired Silver Spear Army and government soldiers were recently recruited to serve as lower-level bureaucrats and petty officials in the Xuchang Shogunate and Chenjun Mansion.
However, after the shogunate has passed a circle, it will be placed in the county in the future, and the resistance will not be so great.
When a soldier has a way to be promoted, a political group gradually takes shape.
Relying on the support of the Shi clan and marrying the Shi clan, but trying to cultivate political forces outside the Shi clan, Huang Mao was really full of rebellion.
(The donkey is foaming at the mouth, and the production team will quickly get some radishes to rescue it...... οΌ
