The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 413
At that time, in December of the 13th year of Jian'an, the end of the new year was approaching, and the winter in Yecheng, Hebei was finally coming. The sky was covered with snow, and the huge city was covered with immature white.

Yecheng is the largest city in the north. Because it is located in the north, spring and summer come late every year, and autumn and winter arrive early. The south, thousands of miles away, is still refreshed by the autumn wind and everything is renewed, but Yecheng is still It is snowflakes curling up, but there is no trace of outdated autumn coolness.

And Yuan Shang's troops returning to the north also returned to Yecheng at this time.

The dawn is the coldest time of the day in Yecheng.The howling wind swept across the sky, and the snow and fog raged across the Zhangshui River. The blown snow on the body hurts more than a knife cut.

A row of inconspicuous black dots on the edge of the snow-white and vast Zhang River are struggling forward on the snow.

According to the calculations, Yuan Shang's team was wandering from north to south. Although the distance is long, the advantage is that they are fast. However, the difference in weather between the north and the south is really unbearable. Like a frozen place forgotten by the gods, no birds or beasts can be seen along the way, except for a piece of admiration, there is no life at all.

People like Yuan Shang and Sima Yi who have lived in the north all year round are fine, but Gan Ning and the southern water bandits under his command are a bit unbearable. His teeth chattered.

The huge city of Yecheng was already in sight, Yuan Shang breathed out a breath of white hot air softly, turned his head and said to everyone: "We are lucky to return to Yecheng before dinner, everyone will go to the station in the south of the city later. Take a good rest, eat some warm food, drink some strong wine to warm up your body, and then wrap up in a quilt to sleep warmly, to sweep away the fatigue on your body!"

Gan Ningdong's face was flushed red, and crystal-like snot slowly fell down his nostrils, as if it could be frozen into balls.

"It's early, I knew it was so cold, I said nothing and came with you... This north is really not a place for people!"

Sima Yi chuckled and said, "Brother, in fact, the north is not exactly like this. It's just that you didn't catch up when it was the coldest time. If it is spring in March, the scenery and climate of Yecheng will be the same." It’s beautiful, and there’s still the cool autumn in August and September, it’s pleasant to keep in good health, and it’s so comfortable!”

"Ah-choo~!" Gan Ning sneezed heavily, and said tremblingly, "You're saying that's useless! I haven't caught up with the spring and autumn, and I've encountered a severe winter!"

Yuan Shang smiled helplessly, shook his head and said: "Sima Yi, please take Gan Ning and the others to the camp in the south of the city to rest first, arrange wine, meat and hot food, and quilts and braziers to match. Yuan will go back to the city first, and stay for a few days Gan Ning and the others regained their composure and are doing the work of reassignment."

Sima Yi said: "Why are you in such a hurry to go back to the city? Wouldn't it be nice to have some wine and meat with us to warm your body?"

Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "You guys go, I want to go back to the city to take a look, I haven't been here for several months, and I don't know what the capital city Jushou and the others picked up for me? I have to take a closer look."

Sima Yi suddenly said: "It's no wonder you didn't decide the date of returning to the city to discuss with Tian Fengju. It turned out to be to secretly check the situation in the city. Forget it, you can go and see your city. Let's go to Nanying to warm our feet and drink. If you come, we will give you a drink." You keep a pot!"

Immediately, the team was divided into two sections. Sima Yi took Gan Ning and Pu Yuan to the South Camp, while Yuan Shang ordered Guo Huai to take Xian Dengying back to report on his duties, and he himself led Sun Li and a small number of soldiers into Yecheng , went straight to the market.

The importance of a city depends on its size, its defense depends on its walls, and if it depends on people's livelihood, it is first in the market.

The white snow is boundless, but the market in Yecheng is obviously not bleak because of the cold. On the contrary, the market is becoming more and more bustling on the white streets.

After Yuan Shang entered the city, he no longer rode a horse, but wrapped himself in a fur jacket to visit and inspect with Sun Li.

Yuan Shang looked at it, nodded and said with emotion: "Ju Shou and others have worked hard, the construction of Yecheng and the flow of people have undoubtedly increased greatly, and it is more prosperous than before I left. On the contrary, it is my lord who runs around all day long. To be the shopkeeper, you have wronged these loyal ministers!"

Sun Li heard the words and said: "My lord, Hugh must be so meager. Tian Fengjushou and others were imprisoned at the beginning. If it wasn't for the lord's help, if Xiudao can show his talents today, he would have lost his life long ago. My lord knows people with his eyes. Can it be compared?"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly, and waved his hand to signal to Sun Li that his words were too much.

When they were young, the group got tired of watching, so Yuan Shang and Sun Li took a way to sit down at a wine shop, but seeing that the wine shop was not big, it was like a bustling market, full of drinkers, and all the wine sellers and food served were women , and each is beautiful.

Seeing this, Yuan Shang was a little curious, and said with a smile: "This wine shop is not big, but there are quite a lot of people."

Sun Lili nodded and replied, "Yes, in such a popular place, it seems that the wine and food in this restaurant should be good."

While the two were talking, a young and beautiful girl stepped forward, full of happiness, and asked sweetly: "You two guests, what are you here for? The best self-brewed 'Great Wind Song' in this shop." ', dry and fragrant, to drive away the cold and fatigue, it is most suitable for warming up in this winter."

Yuan Shang nodded and said: "Okay, let's taste the two corners first." After finishing speaking, he inadvertently raised his head and glanced at the wine lady, and continued with a little surprise: "What a beautiful lady, there are such beauties sitting in your wine shop. How can the business not be popular if you keep selling wine? It’s a pity that I am rich and not lustful, if not, I would not just buy wine today.”

The wine lady didn't feel embarrassed at all when she heard the words, but she raised her hand and pushed Yuan Shang charmingly, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, you are really bad, before you taste the wine, use words to tease me first. After a while I have to put some poison in your wine, so that you can have a long memory."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head with a smile and went to buy wine for Yuan Shang and the other two.

Sun Li stared at the plump buttocks of the bartender, and couldn't help but move his Adam's apple, swallowed softly, and said, "It's such a wonderful thing, but it's a pity to live in this small wine shop as a bartender." ..."

Yuan Shang smiled slightly, and said: "It's a pity? Not entirely, right? Just take a closer look at all the wine girls in this wine shop. Not only are they all beautiful, but they also have a bit of charm in their gestures, which is fascinating. I It is expected that the wine in this wine shop must be of mediocre taste, and the reason why it is so prosperous is because of these beautiful wine girls."

Sun Li looked around for a week, and found that the wine girls in the wine shop were indeed as Yuan Shang said, all of them were beautiful, and when they talked to the customers, they all had a slightly provocative air, and they wanted to return their possessions, which provoked the male customers who came to drink in the restaurant All of them were thirsty, like a vicious dog seeing a meaty bone, but the meaty bone still fell on the beam, and the dog couldn't get it.

Yuan Shang lightly tapped on the drinking case, and said with a smile: "The so-called drunkard's intention is not to drink, and that's what he said."

Sun Li frowned and said: "These drinkers are too cheap. If they want to find a woman, they go to the prostitute's song and dance studio. Why are you fooling around here?"

Yuan Shang shook his head and said with a smile: "The most attractive is what you can't eat. The owner of this restaurant is playing with this charm. It seems that the owner of this restaurant is not an ordinary person. The psychological needs are fully grasped, selling wine can sell flowers... I am good at doing business, which is a bit interesting."

While the two were talking, they saw a bearded alcoholic at a drinking table next to him, using the strength of alcohol, to raise his hand and squeeze the buttocks of a wine maid.

"Ah!" But seeing the wine lady exclaimed, she turned around, rolled her eyes at the cheap drinker, and said coquettishly: "Guest officer, I have a husband, you are so Rude, if my man finds out, I'll beat you to death!"

The man who stole the cat smell laughed loudly, and said: "I have traveled all over the world, have I never seen any storms? Are you afraid of your man? Seeing that he is not a good thing, let a delicate beauty like you come here to show your face, hey , why don't you go with me! I will repay you with benefits!"

The wine lady ignored his obscene words, just stretched out her hand with a smile, and said: "Guest officer, take the money."

The man was taken aback when he heard the words: "What money?"

The wine lady smiled slightly and said: "This is a wine shop, not a song and dance studio. The concubines are wine maids and not prostitutes. According to the rules set by the master, whoever takes advantage of the concubine must give some money as a gift. .”

"Li Cai?" The man couldn't help being annoyed when he heard the words: "Just touch your butt, and you have to pay me? How much is your ass worth?"

Jiu Niang smiled charmingly and said, "Not much, five hundred dollars."

The man was furious when he heard the words, and charged at the case, saying: "Five hundred dollars! Just touch your butt? You stinky bitch, you don't even carry a basin of water and look in the mirror to see if you are worth the price!"

When Jiu Niang heard the words, she put away her charming smile, her face turned cold, and said: "What does the guest officer mean, that you won't give me?"

"I'll give you a fart! Why don't you snatch it, you stinky bitch?"

Jiu Niang nodded, turned around and said, "Since the objective is not given, then the concubine can only snatch it."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a rush of footsteps in the back hall of the wine shop, but three or five burly men rushed out of them. A fat beating.

The stealing drinker was caught off guard, and faced with the sudden rushing out, he couldn't deal with it at all, he could only keep covering his head and shouting loudly.

While beating those big men, they cursed viciously.

"You bastard! You don't get paid for touching your butt! How dare you!"

"Let you not give money, let you not give money!"

"You don't have five hundred dollars, how dare you touch your butt? It's lawless!"

"After beating him, search how many things are on his body, collect some, and then throw him out to let him go!"

"........."

It happened so suddenly that the mouths of all the drinkers in the room opened their mouths in shock, inexplicably horrified.

Sun Li turned his head to look at Yuan Shang, and said in a low voice, "My lord, this... is also a kind of business?"

Yuan Shang took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "This is not doing business, this is open robbery! My people in Yecheng are simple and honest, and I don't pick up things on the road, so I came out of such a black shop. Quickly check who the owner of this wine shop is. , Yuan Mou wants to deal with it seriously... A gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way, this method is shameless, Yuan Mou looks ashamed for him!"
