Concubine Hanhan's Concubine Gongdou

Chapter 716
Lian Wanzhen stretched out her arms, vainly protecting Su Ran and Lin Yuejuan from side to side.

Seeing such a lively and prosperous scene, Su Ran couldn't help but sigh, and sighed: "I haven't been to the capital for more than [-] years, I don't know how prosperous it is now."

This kind of scene was rarely seen when Emperor Taizong was on tour. At that time, most of the people walked in a dull mood, all in a hurry for their livelihood.

Nowadays, there are people everywhere, markets everywhere, juggling troupe rouge, gouache, snacks, pastry stalls and small shops everywhere.

Lin Yuejuan was touching a piece of fabric in front of a small stall, and heard the words: "Sister-in-law, you don't know, the people's life is getting better and better these years, everyone has some spare money, this can eat and wear." Nuan, naturally you will feel free."

The little vendor then spoke up and said, "The eldest sister is right, but that's the reason. Today's sage is a wise king through the ages, and he treats us very well. Not only the land rent has been much less than before, but every village has set aside fields. Come out, as long as you subscribe for some silver, we will distribute it to us according to the measurement. The subscribed silver is much lower than the purchase price of the land. Even if the poor don’t have enough money, it’s okay. Please pay, now every household has several mouthfuls of Susukida."

Su Ran couldn't help asking: "When did this happen?"

The land is the life of the rich and noble families of the country gentry, the interests of these people will be strongly resisted in the past dynasties, and it is not easy to do this step.

It seems that in the past few years of exile, earth-shaking changes have taken place outside.

The small vendor carefully recalled: "It was earlier around the central capital, it seemed that it started after the day when the damned king rebelled. I heard that it was later in other places."

His tone slowly became joyful, and he continued: "It's not like it is now at the beginning, but it has changed every year. Gradually, the fields in the hands of our little people have increased, and the days are getting more and more. Prosperous, many people have thoughts like me, thinking about doing a small business to earn a living."

Su Ran understood that this son-in-law of hers was serious, and she should use a slow knife to slowly cut up the flesh of local gentry clans and aristocratic families, one place at a time, a little bit a year.

The aristocratic families in Beijing are the most powerful. Taking advantage of the rebellion against the king, they are asked to hand over their interests to ensure safety. How could the aristocratic families not follow in this extraordinary period?

After the aristocratic families in central Beijing are cut off, the squires and clans in other places naturally dare not disobey, and they have to. Otherwise, how can the aristocratic families who have been cut off be balanced in their hearts, and these people alone can eat up the local squires.

One can see the whole leopard at a glance, just from this point of view, one can know that the current emperor is very wise, no wonder the people are so respected.

A monarch with great ambitions is usually the first in the world, and everything can be avoided, and there are few children who love each other, and her youngest daughter...

Su Ran sighed secretly, and couldn't help but look towards the direction of the imperial city. There was a dense crowd of people there, and she couldn't see anything. The voice of small vendors talking with Lin Yuejuan came from her ears.

"Sister, the material of my house is very good. You are satisfied with the storage. This color suits you best. Buy one back?" the small vendor said to Lin Yuejuan.

"How much silver?" Lin Yuejuan asked the price.

"Eight coins for a horse."

Lin Yuejuan frowned, and let out a "hiss", with an inconceivable look: "It's so expensive! The cloth that our old man bought first was only one or two renminbi. It's expensive for you. If it's cheaper, it's five renminbi."

The small vendor shouted: "Elder sister, you have to see what kind of material it is. There is also cloth for one or two renminbi, but I didn't buy that product. The materials I sell are all good materials, and you can't buy them for five renminbi." Such good stuff..."

Su Ran turned her head, and saw Lin Yuejuan was bargaining with the vendor.

Lin Yuejuan said that this material is not worth that much money, and the purchase price is only three or four yuan, which is almost one yuan, and one person gives five yuan.

The small vendor shook his head and refused, saying that it was at least seven dollars, which was considered a loss-making business, and that the selling price was due to the kindness of the elder sister, and it could not be less.

She looked at the cloth material that Lin Yuejuan liked, it was not bad for ordinary people.

She didn't speak, because she is not good at such things, it is easy to be a disservice, it is better not to make a sound.

Su Ran thought so, but Lian Wanzhen was very enthusiastic.

He who was attracted by juggling before, heard that Lin Yuejuan had been grinding with the small vendor for three coins, so he couldn't help saying directly: "Aunt Clan, I have a lot of money, seven coins is seven." He just paid for the silver. .

When the peddler heard this, he repeatedly said yes, and it was only seven yuan, and it really couldn't be lowered.

Lin Yuejuan haggled halfway through the price, and seeing that she was almost at the price in her heart, she was disturbed. She couldn't help but glared at Lian Wanzhen. This second nephew is an idiot, and he can still cut it. How could he let go all of a sudden?
She is in the grocery store business, so she knows the way inside it best. She knows that five cents can't be bought, but what she wants is to cut it down to six cents, which should be the price of a small vendor.

With Lian Wanzhen messing up the situation, in the end Lin Yuejuan could only take the piece of cloth with seven qian silver.

After leaving, Lin Yuejuan babbled and taught Lian Wanzhen, who was holding the cloth, how to bargain.

Lian Wanzhen never cared about these trifles, he half-understood what he heard, and felt that cutting off that little money was not enough to do anything, it was too much effort.

Lin Yuejuan felt uncomfortable seeing him like this, and said: "It's rare to come out for a stroll, Wan Zhen, you can't live lavishly, no amount of money is enough for you to spend, today the clan aunt will teach you how to bargain. Come, you Go and see what you want, and try the method Aunt Cai taught you."

"Aunt Clan, there's no need..." Lian Wan really didn't want to try it, and found it troublesome.

He held the cloth above his head to open the way. There were too many people, so he couldn't touch anyone, so he could walk better. Su Ran and the others followed.

Lin Yuejuan looked disapproving: "If you don't learn now, how will you live when you marry a wife in the future? Go quickly."

Su Ran chuckled, looked at her son and encouraged her: "Listen to your auntie, it's okay to try it."

It would be nice to have more experience and interest.

His mother had spoken, and it was also related to marrying a daughter-in-law to live in the future, Lian Wanzhen immediately agreed.

He did what he said, he was very agile, and immediately took a few steps to ask a candied haws seller surrounded by children: "Master, how much is a bunch of candied haws?"

The younger sister loves to eat, and so does he.

Relying on her height advantage, she despises all the children.

Uncle candied haws was giving the children candied haws, and said, "Two cents a bunch."

The business is very good, and the uncle has sold four or five skewers during the conversation.
