Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2199 A Goal

Changan.

A huge storefront on the street, full of voices and people coming and going.

"Why is this so expensive?Cheaper, cheaper...」

"Sorry, sir, we don't bargain here..."

The newly opened spice shop was sweating from work, but still maintained a good service attitude, nodding and smiling, and said to the shopkeeper of the cloth shop standing beside him.

These days, as long as it has something to do with the word spice, the price will almost always go up.You bastard who has money but doesn't make money, isn't this homemade silk and silk stuff naturally related to spices?If it wasn't for the fact that Buddhism hadn't fully prevailed in the Han Dynasty, the cloth shop owner might have felt that all the spices in the spice shop were destined for him...

The shopkeeper of the cloth shop said dissatisfiedly, "Why can't you bargain?"Um?Why can't we negotiate the price?Can everyone negotiate a price?We are all negotiable...Look at this spice box, the lacquer on it is...all...』

While talking, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop secretly rubbed hard, trying to pick the paint surface of the lacquer box with his nails, and found that the paint surface was really well-made, and the wood used was hardwood, similar to iron wood, and It's really strong, and I won't be able to pick it for a while!

"Guest officer, if you really want to use more force, the paint will really come off, so you really have to buy it..." The worker at the spice shop still smiled, and said with some special accents, "This box is really good. It's not cheap...you really thought about it...』

"Humph! The shopkeeper of the cloth shop gritted his teeth and put the spice box back, seemingly with force, but in fact he put it back gently, then turned around and walked away, muttering, "Isn't it just some broken incense... Ah, Mr. Wei!But I haven't seen you for a long time. When are you going to the shop?There are some new brocades from the small shop, and the patterns are called unique! 』

Wei Kang was stunned for a moment, then he said nothing, and hurried forward, and said to the work of the spice shop: "I heard that some new spices have arrived?"Is Shuangjing Yun still available?Do you still have Wei Huazhu?Ten...well, twenty, hey, thirty sets of both! 』

The spice shop worker agreed, and then shouted loudly: "Shuangjing Yun thirty, Wei Huazhu thirty!"Wei Langjun is fragrant!Be careful and wrap it up! 』

Wei Kang couldn't help but straightened his back a little, and the next moment he heard the shout from the counter: "Shuangjing Yun is not thirty, only 25 left!"No, 24!Wei Huazhu only has [-] boxes left! 』

"All!I want it all!quick!hurry up! "Wei Kang shouted eagerly, "There are still some for display outside, so I want them too!" 』

"Good!Shuangjing Yun and Wei Huazhu are sold out!Gone!Five more days to go for the next batch! ’ shouted the busy worker in the spice shop.

"Shuangjing Yun and Wei Huazhu have been sold out! 』

"understood!I'm sorry, my son... Shuangjing Yun and Wei Huazhu are already sold out...』

"It doesn't matter if you have money... This batch is gone, and the next batch will have to wait another five days... Sorry, I'm so sorry... No more..."

Wei Kang exhaled slightly.Fortunately, I came early. If I came later, I might have to wait again.

These days, the world is really going downhill...

In the past few years, it was good. If you have money, you can buy some good things. But later on, money alone is not enough, but you also need connections and authority. Otherwise, you won’t be able to get any good things at all.

Now it's even more outrageous, if you have money and power, you have to catch up. No, if you come a step later, you will be gone, and you have to wait!
It's really a downturn in the world, people's hearts are not old!
A few dexterous spice shop workers carried the specially-made wooden box to Wei Kang, and opened it layer by layer for Wei Kang to have a look at.In the big wooden box, some grids are separated by thin white thatch, and then covered with red silk. In the middle are boxes of Shuangjingyun and Huazhu. The smooth lacquer surface reflects everything around, outlined with gold and silver silk. The patterns that come out have the unique atmosphere of the Han Dynasty, and also reveal a kind of graceful and luxurious beauty.

Wei Kang quickly counted the number, nodded in satisfaction, and then followed the work of the spice shop. He would not be relieved until he saw several large wooden boxes put on his car...

"Wei Langjun is really generous..."

"Tsk tsk, this big box is worth a lot..."

A worker from a spice shop stepped forward and turned over the cloud plaques of "Shuangjing Yun" and "Weihuazhu" at the entrance of the shop, indicating that they were sold out, which immediately attracted a burst of complaints and lamentations.

Of course, there is also the owner of the cloth shop, who grabbed the job of the spice shop who was about to leave after flipping the sign, "I said, it will be sold out in a while?"How many boxes of goods have arrived today, maybe only thirty or forty? 』

"Guest officer is really good at joking, thirty or forty, each with more than zero!" 』

The shopkeeper of the cloth shop was stunned, thinking quickly in his mind, thirty or forty, and more than one more zero, so it would be at least five hundred, and a box of four thousand and eight hundred coins, then it would be...

"Hiss..." The shopkeeper of the cloth shop took a breath, his eyes almost turned golden.

The people next to me were also discussing, "Is that so expensive for a little bit?"When I look at a box, it’s only two taels at most, and I can’t say it’s worth less than two taels...』

"You thought it was food?Also in twos and threes, that's spice! 』

"That doesn't need to be so expensive, how much is one or two of the best agarwood?"One thousand dollars, this is four thousand and eight! 』

"You are capable, go with it yourself. It is said that this is a secret that is not handed down. It is made of more than a dozen kinds of fragrances. It pays attention to a "fragrance that lasts for a long time, lingering but not scattered, suitable for both distance and near, and beautiful in both shades". Suitable for gentlemen and ladies...it's a pity...』

"What a pity?It’s so expensive, I really don’t think it’s worth buying…”

"What do you know, life is nothing more than seeking comfort, don't buy this, don't buy that, what's the point... I hesitated just now, but it's gone... Wait for the next batch. Waiting for five days is really frustrating...』

"But I still think it's too expensive..."

"It's not the spice's problem that it's too expensive...do you understand? 』

"Uh?ah?What do you mean by this? ! 』

The storekeeper of the cloth shop silently walked through the crowd, lowered his head, and even felt somewhat regretful about going to the spice shop out of curiosity today...

The stimulation is simply too great.

This person compares with others and will piss people off.A piece of silk and satin is the most profitable, how much is it?Even if he is as proud as Mr. Wei, he can at most buy three or four horses at once...

And how many people can buy silk and satin?

What about the big ones?Some have a piece of linen that only costs dozens of dollars, or even a profit of more than a dozen dollars...

And in the spice shop here, there is such a light and delicate box, which is [-] yuan!

Although the shopkeeper of the cloth shop also admitted that no matter from the appearance of the box, from the gold and silver thread to the lacquer surface, to the structure of the entire box, and then to the sachet inside, and then the embroidery of the sachet, the material, and the spice itself, it is very important. Exquisite, it can be said to be the top level at the moment, but at this price, it can really be said to be first-class in the world!
The box is beautiful, can the box be eaten or drunk?

And isn't it all added to the price?
Going to get that box, this spice must not be that expensive!

Is it because I can't afford the four thousand eight hundred dollars?
No, if you really grit your teeth, you can still get it out, but I feel distressed, how many pieces of cloth will I have to sell to exchange for a small box of spices, is it worth it?
Awesome, don't let bargaining!
If I can negotiate the price, I can talk about [-]%, um, [-]%...

Or [-]%, it's really not possible, [-]% is not impossible...

snort!
No, I can't be more fragrant... No, I can't think about it anymore!

not worth it!

Not worth buying at all!
The cloth shop shopkeeper gritted his teeth, said decisively to himself, and then resolutely raised his head forward, never wanting to look back again, because the cloth shop shopkeeper was afraid that if he stayed for a long time, if he looked at it for a long time, the spices would not only smell, If it is contaminated on the body, it will get into my heart, liver and lungs...

Back at his own shop, sitting behind the counter, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop was unconsciously dazed for a moment, so that he didn't notice when someone came to look at the cloth.

"The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper!Why is this so expensive?Cheaper, cheaper...」

"what?Ah, I'm sorry, guest officer, we don't bargain here..." The shopkeeper of the cloth shop subconsciously said.

"No bargaining?Um? ╭(╯^╰)╮Huh! 』The customer put down the cloth, turned around and left.

The shop owner reacted, "Uh, uh, sir!Don't go, sir!You make a price, you make a price...』

I don't know why, when the owner of the cloth shop said this, he suddenly felt like crying...

...(;Д｀)...

Hussar General's Mansion.

Fei Qian received a secret letter sent directly from Hedong by Zhang Shi.

The letter revealed some things about He Dong Pei Mao's private reselling of military armor and making huge profits from it.

Fei Qian immediately summoned Pang Tong and Xun You to discuss the matter.

"As expected..." Pang Tong read the letter, and then said with a smile, "Pingyang Workshop's weapons go to the east of the river, and the loss is almost a fixed number... Huh..."

Fei Qian chuckled twice.

In fact, most of the so-called "floating", "fire consumption" and other titles are actually corruption.It's like a capitalist. If you change your name, won't you show the face of capital?
"Pei's family is proficient in Confucian classics and is well-known in Hedong. Most of his ancestors have two thousand stones, and he also ascended to Jiuqing, and his family background is prominent..." Xun You said, "I heard that Pei Juguang is fond of Huang Lao's studies, and he is indifferent to fame and wealth. He has opened several times to teach. The reputation is extremely high...by no means comparable to ordinary big households...』

Pang Tong nodded and said, "That's right.Therefore, most of this matter was definitely not done by Pei Juguang himself, at most it was done by someone in the clan..." Pang Tong sneered, this is an old tradition of the gentry, the righteous master always does good things, and the bad things always come... Uh, The unfilial son of the family did it.

Xun You said: "The land of Hedong is divided into north and south with Fen as the boundary.The north is arid and has been harassed by barbarians for a long time, and the population is thin, while the south of Fenshui is rich and rich, with salt and iron, and good farmland.Wenxi Pei's family has many acres of land, stretching for tens of miles, with thousands of tenants...』

"Zhang's denunciation of Pei Juguang is actually more of a test..." Pang Tong glanced at Fei Qian, "This boy, at this time, he is not honest..."

"The son of the Zhang family wants to clean up the big family in Hedong, and this big family in Hedong must have many ties to the Pei family..." Xun You said, "If the lord doesn't pursue it...the matter of Hedong will be left alone.If the lord investigates strictly, the entanglement may be very extensive...』

Pang Tong chuckled twice, "The reason why Hedong dared to seize the loss of soldiers and make profit from it is undoubtedly because the lord needs the food and grass from the river... The lord uses the soldiers, and the food from the river is just around the corner. What Zhuang He has gained, Guanzhong will be more or less turbulent because of it... It's a pity, hehe, it's the time when farming is fallow and the farm is slack, isn't it the beginning of spring...』

"What you said is true. Xun You said, "If the case can be closed before the beginning of spring... I can give it a try, but I am afraid that the involvement will be so extensive that it will affect the spring farming... I am afraid that the gain outweighs the loss..."

Sitting behind the table, Fei Qian pondered for a moment, "If you want to accomplish something great, how can you give up halfway?" 』

"Order! 』

"check!Those involved in the case, etc., will be apprehended! 』

...Convex

Snow stopped.

It's getting colder.

Kirby was able to talk loudly to his soldiers while walking, encouraging them.

The Xianbei people need a victory, a foreign victory, eagerly, like a hungry vulture, hovering over the desert, staring impatiently at the person trekking in the desert, hoping that he can win the next moment. just fall down.

"Our goal is to defeat the Wuhuan people first!" Kirby could speak louder and waved his arms, "They thought we would surrender, they must have been defenseless!"Let's take down the Wuhuan people in one go, and then work with the Han people in Yuyang to eliminate the hateful Dingling people, and we can regain control of the desert!This grassland of thousands of miles is still ours!our!Look at this world, who can be our opponent! 』

The Xianbei people around heard Kebi Neng talking loudly. Now that the Xianbei talents have just integrated together, it is time to build up their confidence. Immediately, the more alert centurion commander shouted loudly: "Hold on!" Plow up!The king is invincible! 』

First a small group of people shouted, then a large group of people shouted, and then all of them shouted.

"Stand on the plow!"The king is invincible! 』

The sound of shouting shook the sky, and all the excited Xianbei opened their throats, roaring heartily.For a moment, all the Xianbei people felt their hearts surged and their blood boiled, and they wished they could jump on their horses the next moment, gallop across the battlefield, and then cut off the heads of the enemies one by one.

In the back, even Kirby himself was infected by the high emotions of the Xianbei soldiers, and tears of excitement filled his eyes. He only felt that his whole body was full of strength, waving his arms, and shouting hoarsely.

"Tomorrow morning, we will encircle and wipe out the Wuhuan people in one fell swoop! 』

The morning in the desert winter is cold.

An eagle skimming across the sky is lonely.

Because there are few forests, birds in this area are rarely seen. The food of eagles is basically mice and rabbits.

Both mice and rabbits like to hide.

As a hunter, you either need to have enough patience, or you need to prepare enough bait...

Cao Chun rode on the mound, looking at the eagle passing by in the sky.

Behind the mound is Cao Jun's cavalry known as Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

It is undoubtedly a rather embarrassing thing to have the name of Hang Zhatian without a good record, so Cao Chun feels that now is the time to make up for this shortcoming.

Cao Chun is waiting for scouts.

In order not to let the Wuhuan people notice, Cao Chun tried his best to hide it. The only way he could get the news was through these scouts...

Cao Chun never thought that one day he would cooperate with the Xianbei people.

But now the enemies of Cao Chun and the Xianbei people are the same, and all these changes were caused by that damn Hussar General Fei Qian...

If you want to compete with Huqi Feiqian, you must first defeat Zhao Yun, and to defeat Zhao Yun, you must first remove the forward force that Zhao Yun arranged in Youzhou, that is, the Wuhuan people...

Sometimes, Cao Chun couldn't help but doubt himself, is all this worth it?Or can it be done?After all, perhaps for Hussar General Fei Qian, the Wuhuan people are actually a small target, but for Cao Chun, they are a hundred million.

And the Wuhuan people that Cao Chun was thinking about were discussing with Liu He at this moment.

"Although the Xianbei people said they want to form an alliance..." Nan Lou frowned and said, "But I always wonder if there is something wrong with it? 』

Liu He naturally also has Liu He's own small goals, or small ideals.

"What's the problem? ’ Liu He asked.

"I don't think Xianbei people will agree to form an alliance so easily, and are even willing to follow our instructions..." Nanlou still frowned, "Xianbei people... especially Kebi can... this guy is arrogant, proud, How could you be willing...Mr. Liu, I don't mean anything in particular, just that...Kirby might be cheating...』

"Fraud? ”Liu He smiled, the smile was still gentle, but with some unquestionable tone, “What’s the trick?With Xianbei's current manpower, even if it is a trick, so what?I know that you and the Xianbei people were not so harmonious before, but now...the Xianbei people are desperate, and they have only one way left, which is to surrender! 』

"What's more... as long as the Xianbei people come, then our goal will be achieved..." Liu He said slowly, "Dingling people have gone south... Even if the Xianbei people don't want to be our subordinates, they can't help them ... Surrender still has a little life, if you don't surrender, you will die! 』

"Dingling people went south? 』Nan Lou was a little surprised.

Liu He nodded, "The scouts reported that they have begun to gather their manpower, and they will probably go south in the next few days... On the one hand, it is because most of the pastures in the north have suffered from snow, and on the other hand, it is because..."

Liu He looked at Nanlou and Louban, "In the desert, there can only be one winner... We Han people have a saying that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers... If we don't fight them, they will think of coming to fight us... You can't hide from it...」

Nanlou and Louban looked at each other and fell silent.

"So, that's it... If the Xianbei people are cheating, what does it matter?There are Dingling people from the north going south, and we are blocking them here. Of course... the Xianbei people may also surrender to Dingling people... But what conditions can Dingling people give?Let the Xianbei sit on the throne of the desert again?What are the benefits of surrendering Ding Lingren?All surrender, why not surrender us?At least, what we give will definitely be more than that given by Ding Lingren... isn't it? 』

After listening to Liu He's analysis, Nanlou and Louban seemed to think there was some truth, at least for now they couldn't find any words to refute.

Liu He smiled slightly, as if he was about to achieve a small goal in his life.People, always have some dreams, otherwise what is the difference with salted fish?
