The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

On December 11, the seventh year of apocalypse, it snowed heavily.

In manchui reluctant to part with farewell, Li Yuanqing's team, under the wind and snow, all the way to the west, set foot on the road to the capital.

As the old saying goes, "once the emperor, one courtier.".

At this time, after more than half a year's hard work, it was finally time for Li Yuanqing to go to the new Emperor Zhu Youjian to ask for a dividend.

This year, it is colder than usual.

In the past, although the snow in Guannei pass through the knee, it is rare that it does not pass the thigh. But at this time, the snow can not pass the normal people's thigh, at least 70-80 cm thick.

Even if the official road has always been cleaned by the hands of post stations, it is still slippery and difficult to walk.

Fortunately, Li Yuanqing's trip brought a lot of horses, more than 1200 of them.

When leaving, man GUI gave Li Yuanqing twenty good horses.

The main reason is that man GUI has everything to eat, drink, whore and gamble.

Although the annual dividend given to him by the southern Liaoning commercial bank is not small, which is close to 100000 Liang, but the living of this guy is really not very good. There are so many brothers to support under him. There is not much money left. He can only make up for his war horse.

Fortunately, it was not long after the new year that the bonus of the southern Liaoning commercial bank would arrive again. Otherwise, the man GUI would have to go to the street to beg for food

However, although the journey is difficult, it is all the children's business. Li Yuanqing, sitting in a spacious, comfortable and warm carriage, is relaxed and comfortable.

While enjoying the beauty of the road, while enjoying the service of Yang jiaoniang, Li Liuli and Zhao Mei, it was very comfortable.

It's a pity that the speed of the road can't be mentioned.

At such a speed, it will take at most thirty or forty miles a day to get to the capital. I'm afraid it will be the end of the year.

But Li Yuanqing is not in a hurry.

The journey is not difficult, how can it reflect his determination to be loyal to the saint?

……

Ten days later, the team arrived in Yutian County and settled down in a small town.

At this time, although there are less than 10 days before the new year, but the most difficult part of the road has come. From Yutian to the capital, the road has to be good. It takes five or six days to get there, which will not miss li Yuanqing's auspicious time in front of the new year.

All the way hard, the children are also very tired.

Li Yuanqing also took a half day's leisure, gave the children a half day off, and bought a large number of live pigs and sheep in the town, so that the children could enjoy the spring festival atmosphere in advance, and by the way, make a good tonic.

The town is called liujiazhaizi.

Located in the southwest of Yutian County, it is very close to Baodi and Xianghe, which is basically the boundary between Baodi and Baodi.

Although the town is not big, its outer walls are well defended. It has to be about 10 meters high, which is not much different from the ordinary city.

Of course, this was not built with the money of the imperial court. It was all the local gentry who raised money to build it.

There is no way.

Five years after the apocalypse, the whole of Daming has completely fallen into the abyss of the little glacier climate. Especially in the north, the climate continues to deteriorate. A year can be divided into two seasons, one summer and one winter.

This led to heavy losses in the Agricultural North, where bandits and bandits were rampant. People's grievances were boiling and people were in dire straits.

However, the ability of the government is limited, especially the combat effectiveness of the government is worrying.

The local elite had no choice but to pay their own money and unite to build the fort together.

Li Yuanqing is also helpless.

Rich merchants and rich families can build fortresses for defense, but ordinary people are

No accident. After the spring of next year, the tide of refugees will be unstoppable.

It's a pity.

If you don't have a position, you don't want to manage.

But even if Li Yuanqing is not happy, he can not easily overstep his power.

He can only make preparations. After the spring of next year, he will set up more collection points here to recruit refugees and go to the south of Liaoning Province.

Yang jiaoniang and her family members, though riding in a carriage, are not easy.

But today, it's the big fair outside the castle. It's full of dogs, monkeys, pigs and meat sellers. It's very lively.

Yang jiaoniang also came to be interested, coquettish and pestered Li Yuanqing to take them for a stroll.

Although Li Liuli and Zhao Mei dare not act like Yang jiaoniang on Li Yuanqing, their expectations in their big eyes are clear.

Zhao Mei, in particular, is a person from the neighborhood. She is very kind and familiar with this kind of collection. When she looks into Li Yuanqing's big eyes, it's almost sweet

Li Yuanqing would not lose the face of Yang jiaoniang's several daughters, so he would accept them directly.

Yang Lei was asked to buy more than a dozen ordinary thick cotton padded coats with rabbit skin. Li Yuanqing changed them on. Yang Lei and seven or eight of his family soldiers, who also changed into casual clothes, accompanied Yang jiaoniang's three daughters to the outdoor fair outside the South Gate of Liujiapu for a visit.Although rabbit skin cotton padded jacket style is not good-looking, but the heating effect is good, is also the best choice of the people.

Only for the rich, of course.

Ordinary people can have a broken cotton padded jacket, which is very good.

At this time, although Li Yuanqing was only wearing a rabbit skin cotton padded jacket, he was tall and dignified, and the momentum of the superior could not be concealed.

But Yang jiaoniang's daughters are more charming and beautiful, and they are extremely luxurious. When you look at them, you can see that they are the wives of the rich families.

It's not big. It's about a mile and a half long, but it's very lively. Many people are burning incense and praying.

When Li Yuanqing and his party approached and inquired about it, they found that today's collection overlapped with the temple fair once a month. Many Buddhists also came out to do things to help believers.

It is still very difficult to find good goods in such a large collection of people's spontaneous interest, but it is very possible to dump some rare folk goods.

Soon, Yang jiaoniang's several daughters were attracted by a piece of red fox skin.

Fox skin.

In the Liao area, especially with the support of xiha'erwei, it was not a rare commodity in the south of Liaoning Province.

However, the red fox skin is really rare.

In the legend of the common people, the fox is a spiritual thing. The red fox is considered to be a symbol of seduction.

The color of the fur is so good that it is very suitable for collar.

Especially this bright color, afraid that no woman can refuse this temptation.

Yang jiaoniang's three daughters, after only one look, could not move her feet.

"Big brother, how do you sell this fox skin?"

The man selling fox skin was a man in his early 40s, very old and mature. Beside him, there was a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old who was handsome and had big eyes and seemed to be able to speak.

Next to the girl, there was another 11-2-year-old boy who looked sick.

From the bottom of the family, Yang jiaoniang sympathizes with the hard-working people. Therefore, she is polite and does not carry too much sense of superiority.

The man took a puff at his cigarette bag and looked at Yang jiaoniang and Li Yuanqing with some shivering eyes.

Although he has not seen anything on the market, he can see that these people are all noble people.

He hesitated for a moment, and seemed to have made a great determination. Then he said with difficulty: "madam, you have such a good eyesight. For my fox skin, I want, I want, I want one hundred and fifty taels of silver. "

"One hundred and fifty liang?"

Yang jiaoniang takes a look at Li Yuanqing. The price is not cheap. Although she likes it very much, she is not extravagant and wants to ask Li Yuanqing for advice.

Li Yuanqing laughed: "jiaoniang, you can buy it if you like. Elder brother, do you want silver or cash? "

After finishing this sentence, Li Yuanqing also responded. He clapped his head with a smile and waved his hand to Yang Lei behind him: "take one hundred and fifty taels of silver."

"Yes."

The soldiers didn't take so much silver with them. Yang Lei rushed to the camp not far away to get it.

Seeing that Li Yuanqing had not made a counter-offer, the man bought the fox skin directly, and his face showed a look of annoyance. He should have asked for a higher price.

Around Yang jiaoniang, Li Liuli and Zhao Mei are greedy, but they also know that Yang jiaoniang is the "big lady" of the brand. Even if they like it, there is only one fox skin, which can only be liked by Yang jiaoniang first.

Li Yuanqing saw the fluctuation of Li Liuli and Zhao Mei's pretty faces. It happened that there were two white and beige Fox Skins on the man's stall. Although the color was not as beautiful as the red fox skin, the fur was quite good.

Can't help but smile: "this big brother, these two, how to sell? I'll take it with me. "

The man already knew that Li Yuanqing was a good owner of money. He summoned up his courage and said with difficulty, "here, master, these two, these two need, one hundred taels. Yes, cash. "

Li Yuanqing smiles: "good. Yang Lei, go and get the silver again. "

"Yes."

Yang Lei quickly sent someone to get the money.

With a smile, Li Yuanqing pinched Li Liuli's small hand, and another big hand, quietly pinched Zhao Meiting's little * *.

The two women understood Li Yuanqing's thoughts at that time, and their pretty faces couldn't help rising to blush.

Others have not seen Li Yuanqing's small movements, but the girl with big eyes has been looking at the tall Li Yuanqing all the time. At dusk, her pretty face, she can't help but also rise two pieces of crimson blush

Li Yuanqing at this time also saw the girl's expression, immediately not from a Leng.

The girl and Li Yuanqing looked at each other for half a second. She hung her head shyly. Her long eyelashes blinked, but her little hand grasped the red fox skin.

It can be seen that she is very reluctant to sell such red fox skin.Yang jiaoniang at this time also saw Li Yuanqing's side of the abnormal, small hand can't help but live on Li Yuanqing's big hand, gently pinched, coquettish and angry at Li Yuanqing.

With a smile, Li Yuanqing said to the man: "brother, look at your skill. It's a fatal arrow. You are an expert. "

The man was stunned. He looked at Li Yuanqing in dismay and said, "Sir, do you know archery?"

Li Yuanqing laughed: "I know a little bit about it. I don't know how to master it. Compared with you, my means are far from satisfactory. "

The man, with a simple smile, was about to reply.

At this time, there was a frivolous voice nearby, "Hey! Zhao Quezi, you son of a bitch. What did I tell you? If you don't sell me this Hong fox skin, don't try to sell it! What's the matter? Do you want me to break your other leg? "
