Destiny Only Han

Chapter 357 Zhang Liang: I Remember Something Funny... (Chapter 4k, Toothache, Today's Update)
Sanchuan County, Luoyang City.

After the peace of the world, this city located in the world quickly recovered from the previous depression.

Luoyang Palace used to be the place where the emperor of Zhou lived. Naturally, it was built in strict accordance with Zhou rituals.

Husband is an area unit, the length and width are each in a hundred steps.

The layout of the former dynasty and the later market is actually a tradition continued from the tribal era, that is, tribal men are mainly responsible for managing the government, while their wives are mainly in charge of the market.

The bazaars in the Qin and Han dynasties are very similar to the vegetable markets and hypermarkets of the later generations. They all use walls or railings to enclose an open space, and then in the morning, the 'mayor' who manages the bazaar raises the city flag to announce the start of the day. business.

The convoy of Liu Bang's southern tour returned to Luoyang from Chen County, and the princes and kings who were in the alliance with Liu Bang in Chen County also lived in Luoyang City, so today's Luoyang Market is extremely lively, with many merchants driving carriages and carrying burdens Came from surrounding counties.

After all, there are not many opportunities for these fat sheep who spend a lot of money to gather together. Whether they can sell out the goods that have been hoarded for a long time depends on the time of these few days.

In Luoyang North City, inside the fence made of bamboo poles, the winter sun shines from the treetops, casting a dazzling halo on everything.

At the entrance of the market, a man wearing a bamboo skin crown and a linen jacket, with a straight nose and a full beard on his forehead, looks like he is strolling in a courtyard, picking up a commodity from time to time, and bargaining with vendors.

It's just that when the price was bargained and the vendor pretended to earn twice as much with tears on his face, the bearded man smiled and put down the goods in his hand, turned around and left as if nothing had happened.

However, the trader didn't curse the bearded man for wasting his feelings. In fact, when the bearded man was bargaining, his eyes were firmly fixed on a man behind the bearded man.

Fengshen is handsome, and he is exiled to the world.

Although the bearded man is not too ugly, but compared with that person, one is in the sky, and the other is in the center of the earth...

And with that handsome man as a foil, everyone naturally ignored the little boy standing behind the bearded man, who kept looking at him with contemptuous eyes.

The little boy is naturally Liu Ying.

He looked up at Liu Bang, who was suspicious everywhere, and his heart was full of malicious speculation about Liu Bang. It wasn't that Liu Bang didn't want to buy it, but he didn't bring any money...

After all, he finally became the emperor. If he had to spend money to buy things, wouldn't the emperor be in vain?

But when he looked at Zhang Liang at the side again, he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

In this private interview with Liu Bang in Weifu, he is either San Dezi or Fa Yin, and of course, there is Xiao Taohong...

After all, there is already someone playing the role of Concubine Yi...

Liu Bang didn't bother to pay attention to his rotten little brat who saw Renji, but just looked at the row of three-story buildings in the distance and let out a little surprise.

He came here two years ago when the bazaar was just built. At that time, there were still temporary stalls, and there were no shops built. Moreover, these buildings seemed a bit out of place with the surrounding stalls.

"interesting……"

Liu Bang threw off his big strides and walked into the distance. Although Liu Ying was a little helpless, she could only follow suit.

"Zhiyuan Pavilion..." Liu Bang read out a row of small characters next to the signboard of the shop in a low voice, looked back at Liu Ying who was following behind, and stepped in.

Then, he was stupid.

Not only because of the decoration of the store, but mainly because of the price tags of the products displayed in the store.

A set of nine ceramic tea sets, the lowest selling price is [-]...

You must know that he just talked with a small corn vendor. In the middle of winter, the price of a stone of corn is only 120 yuan...

That's it, there's still room for bargaining.

This set of tea sets can be replaced by grain, enough to pile up a hill!
Liu Bang looked at Liu Ying and was about to say something, but suddenly heard a very polite voice from beside him.

"Excuse me..."

He turned his head and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a servant in a black silk robe passing by him, holding a simple and elegant box in his hand.

Obviously, from the cautious appearance of the other party, it can be seen that what he is holding in his hand is the tea set he just bought.

I just don't know which one it is, is it a set that costs more than 1 yuan, or the one that costs more than 9 yuan...

When Liu Bang was watching the other party, he saw that the man took out a beautifully shaped note from his arms, and he didn't know what was written on it.

But the businessman who sold the tea set took it with both hands and inspected it, then bowed respectfully and saluted.

"The number is just right, welcome to visit next time."

That voice was the most articulate Zhou Chao's elegant words, even if the most picky etiquette officials came, it was guaranteed that there would be no mistakes or omissions!

Liu Bang looked at the delicate dress on the other party, and then at himself, feeling a sense of inferiority in his heart...

The servant who bought the tea set just nodded slightly, then turned around and strode away from the porcelain shop, joined several sword-wielding servants waiting at the door, and walked out of the market.

A boy with powder on his face and a cap walked up to Liu Bang, bowed and said, "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

That voice is still the most standard elegant words.

Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, and shook his head lightly: "What do you mean by help? Why do I need help? Forget it, I'll just take a look...you go."

The boy bowed again and saluted: "Okay sir, please tell me if you have any needs."

After he finished speaking, he stepped aside politely and stood quietly, like a statue with a graceful posture.

Only then did Liu Bang realize that when he was talking to the boy before, he unconsciously lowered his voice to the same level as the other person, and what he spoke was not the Peisi dialect, but the elegant words with the characteristics of Chu.

With her hands behind her back, Liu Ying, who forced herself not to meet Liu Bang's eyes, pretended to be looking east and west, but the corners of her mouth raised upwards involuntarily.

This wave, it is true that Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden!

It's just that he wasn't happy for a long time, and then extreme joy gave rise to sorrow.

Full of doubts, Liu Bang walked up behind him, reached out and grabbed the back of his neck, and lifted Liu Ying out of the porcelain shop like a cat.

"What are you laughing at? The things sold in this store are too expensive! Also, you know what that note is..."

Amidst Liu One Hundred Thousand Whys Bang, Liu Ying wiped her face with disgust, and spread her hands together: "Father, aren't you tired from asking so many questions? Shall I go to the store and ask for a glass of water for you? Then we find a place to sit and talk?"

Liu Bang froze for a moment, tilted his head and asked, "Do you want money?"

As expected of you...Liu Ying raised her head and said triumphantly, "Of course I don't want it, I have a VIP card from Tianzihao!"

Liu Ying untied the sheepskin jacket she wore specially for Liu Bang's private visit today, found a card with slightly curled edges, and strode into the porcelain shop with Liu Bang's puzzled face.

"Open a quieter room and have someone bring you some good tea..."

Liu Ying showed the card in her hand to the merchants in the store, and turned her head to greet Liu Bang and Zhang Liang: "Come on, what are you doing outside?"

The businessman glanced at the crumpled card in Liu Ying's hand. Although the number on it was a bit late, and Liu Ying appeared in front of him in a rather ordinary dress, he was still very clear about what the VIP card of Tianzi size represented. .

This card means that the opponent's title is at the level of 'Qing', and the amount of consumption in various stores under Shangxiantang reached 100 million yuan last year!
Big fat sheep, bah, the big benefactor must never be neglected!

The reason why he didn't question Liu Ying's identity was that there were so many dignitaries in Luoyang City at this moment, even if Liu Ying stole this card from somewhere else, he couldn't bear the price of neglecting Liu Ying until it was confirmed.

After all, opening the door to do business, especially a store like theirs that sells luxury goods, and it is the only one in the entire Han Empire, the profits are actually scary high, so naturally they don't care if they are really cheap.

So he always kept a slightly bent posture, and sent Liu Bang and the others to an elegant room on the innermost side of the second floor.

After Liu Bang sat down, his doubts became more and more intense.

When he came out this time, he originally wanted to take a look at the price of food and the supply of food, and to see if there was any chance to fight the injustice...

But what I didn't expect was that I entered an environment that I had never experienced before, and saw such a blurred scene.

A shop in the district not only sells sky-high prices, but also the level of luxury decoration inside the shop is no less than his Luoyang Palace!
He looked at Liu Ying who was sitting opposite him, and although he had some guesses in his heart, when he thought of the number on the card, the guesses seemed illusory again.

My son knows how much Liu Ying loves to show off. If this store is opened by Liu Ying, the proof that he just showed must be the No. [-] Tianzi certificate!

Therefore, the Great Han Empire cannot have such a powerful person!

Liu Ying looked at Zhang Liang who sat down with a calm face and started making tea by himself, took out a bronzing card from the small bag behind him, and handed it over: "Teacher, this is the prestige card for you. Come here to take care of the apprentice's business when you have time... Don't worry, with this card, all products will be fractured..."

So, Liu Bang was stupid.

Liu Ying turned to look at Liu Bang, and said somewhat reservedly: "I actually opened this store... well, I can't say that, this store actually belongs to Shangxiantang, and many people have shares. My aunt and my mother share 5.00% of the shares..."

Liu Bang thought about the price tag he saw just now, and then touched his empty pocket, with a somewhat desolate look on his face.

The clown is me!
The reason why he came up with this idea is actually very simple. As a man, he would sometimes give Cao or Lv Zhi small jewelry that he thought was very valuable. Back then, I slapped myself hard...

Seeing Liu Bang's delicate expression, Liu Ying waved her hand directly and said, "The public offering stage is over, and all the shares are already owned, so if you want to buy shares, Dad, you have to wait for the next time..."

He said that, naturally, to prevent Liu Bang from playing tricks and forcefully cut some cakes to go back.

Liu Bang raised his head with a proud expression on his face: "Is Naigong the one who will steal things from you?"

Sure enough, it is right to take precautions before they happen... Liu Ying tilted her head with a speechless expression: "I don't seem to have said anything!"

Zhang Liang pinched his mouth lightly, but the slightly trembling shoulders still revealed his mood at the moment.

Although Liu Bang was a little embarrassed, his face was thicker than the corner of the city wall, so he asked nonchalantly: "I don't care if things are expensive, and the clearly marked price is in line with the law. I just want to ask, what is that note before?" ?”

Well, according to the Qin law, when buying and selling in the market, the price should be marked with a wooden label, otherwise you will be punished. The Han inherited the Qin system, and naturally inherited this law.

Liu Ying took out another small notebook from the small bag behind her and spread it on the table: "This is the thing, the money ticket."

Liu Bang took it, and after looking up and down, he was still puzzled: "What is a money ticket?"

Liu Ying explained: "Father, you have seen it before. If you use the five baht coins we issue to pay for a transaction like this tens of thousands of dollars, I'm afraid that the heavy copper coins will have to be pulled by a horse-drawn cart!"

"And if you pay the bill with gold, not to mention the different colors of gold and the troublesome conversion, just cut and weigh a whole piece of horseshoe gold, and then be accurate enough that no one will suffer. The process in the middle is not only cumbersome, but also unsightly. !"

"That's why I invented this kind of money ticket. Just fill in the amount of payment on it, and then add a unique monogram as a mark, which can save a lot of trouble..."

"Father, imagine that when you and my mother come to this store to spend money, others are still in a hurry, calculating the exchange rate between gold and copper coins, and you complete the payment with a swipe of the pen. My mother looks at you What admiration!"

Of course, there is a high probability that my mother completed the payment with a swipe of a pen... Liu Ying looked at the poor man who was caught in imagination without changing her face, and kept her mouth shut, giving the other party enough time to lust.

After a while, Liu Bang returned to the human world from the dream. He nodded his head in agreement, and then said, "Although this kind of money ticket is useful, what if the other party doesn't admit it afterwards?"

Liu Ying scratched her cheek, and said weakly, "I'm afraid not..."

Liu Bang looked worried: "What if, anyway, if it were me, I would..."

Under Liu Ying's eyes full of contempt, he swallowed back what he hadn't finished speaking, but the expression on his face seemed to say that he must guard against it.

Liu Ying shook her head and said: "This is all real-name authentication, and most of the users are princes and kings like my uncle and the former Han Xin and Peng Yue, so he shouldn't be reckless... Besides, if he really reneges , I still have your father!"

So, Liu Bang immediately straightened his waist, slowly stretched out his hand, rubbed his index finger, middle finger and thumb together a few times: "I remember you said that landlords are not inferior to hungry mediocre farmers, then..."

Liu Ying ignored the poor and crazy Liu Bang, looked at him and asked, "Father, have you heard of the word economy?"
