Lu Dynasty

Chapter 604 Fengqi
When Huang Yueying and Pang Tong came to Jimin Restaurant, the shopkeeper saw that they were unfamiliar, so instead of asking Xiaoer to entertain them, he stepped forward and asked, "You two! What's your business here?"

Pang Tong said with a smile: "Isn't opening a shop just for people to live in? Of course we are here to live in the shop!"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Sir, don't play tricks on me. This place looks like a hotel, but it is a recruiting hall and post station. If you are not an official of the imperial court, you are not allowed to stay! Of course, the family members of imperial officials can also stay, but there is a fee! The two look familiar. If you want to move in, can you prove that you are an official or a family member?"

"Is there a charge for a wise man or an envoy?" Pang Tong raised his ugly face and said proudly, "Since Lu Feng is so stingy, I will leave!"

"Sir, you are joking!" Seeing that Pang Tong was angry, the shopkeeper quickly laughed and said, "Sages and envoys are of course not needed! Since you can enter the inner city, you must have a pass. Please stay here, and I will report to you. Naturally, the Secretary will send someone I came to see you! However, this lady should be your family..."

"What madam!" Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, Huang Yueying jumped up and said, "Can't I be a sage? I heard that there are female generals and female soldiers under Lu Feng's command. Why do you still look down on women like this? As an official under Feng's command, you must look good!" Women cannot be offended, no matter how good a woman is, she will be a little narrow-minded!
Seeing Huang Yueying's reaction, the shopkeeper looked at Pang Tong. Pang Tong shook his head at him. He hurriedly smiled and said, "Miss, I was wrong! But as far as I know, there are no female soldiers and generals in our army! If you insist Yes, only General Zhao Yun's wife wronged herself to be General Zhao Yun's personal guard in order to serve General Zhao Yun. Because she is the general's wife, the personal guards are headed by her. In fact, the leader of Zhao Yun's personal guard is not Mrs. Ma As for the female soldiers, most of them are orphans adopted by the lord, and the lord only gave them a job in order to let them have a meal! And women always have a destination, and our soldiers are naturally the best choice! They As a doctor and nurse in the army, I have had a lot of contact with the soldiers, and it is inevitable that I will fall in love with you for a long time. The lord also has a sense of not letting the fat and water flow out to outsiders! Besides, soldiers will always be injured in battle. It is always good to have a wife who understands some medical knowledge Yes! So the female soldiers and female generals you mentioned are just rumors. Of course, you can also sign up to be a medical soldier, but you need to go to a medical school to enroll and study medicine! It is undeniable that there are also many medical soldiers who have been rewarded for their meritorious service, but they don’t need to Fighting for their lives on the battlefield, their greatest danger is to find our wounded soldiers on the battlefield and prevent them from being hurt by the surviving enemy soldiers!"

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is always so cruel, Huang Yueying looked at the shopkeeper dumbfounded!She asked with some frustration: "Does that mean that Lu Feng's army doesn't need women to be officials?"

"I don't know about that!" The shopkeeper said with a smile, "how can I guess what the prime minister is thinking? However, since you came here because of your reputation, your fee can be waived until Yousi doesn't reply! Don't worry! , Even if it is charged, it will not be very expensive! Don't look at the fine wine and jade liquid that sells for thousands of gold, but here, it is no different from ordinary wine!"

"No way!" Huang Yueying and Pang Tongtong looked in disbelief, but how could Pang Tong, a top strategist, be as surprised as Huang Yueying!Pang Tong said with a smile: "In that case, can I have a good drink?" You know, Pang Tong is a drunkard, he has long wanted to taste the best wine, but the price makes him daunting!
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "No problem, you can do as much as you want! But, don't soak yourself in it! General Zhang San and General Lu Da are often drunk as mud, and the prime minister doesn't like it very much!"

Pang Tong pouted and said: "Can I compare with them? I drink moderately! By the way! Since the cost of this wine is not high, why doesn't your prime minister produce it in large quantities? The wine is so expensive, what do you think? How many people can afford it!"

"The prime minister never planned to sell wine to the common people, and he didn't think wine was a good thing!" The shopkeeper said with a smile: "It's a mistake to drink too much. General Zhang San and General Lu Da are always punished by the military for drinking! Most of our wine is sold. To the aristocratic family! Not only on the bright side, the wine worth a thousand gold is ours, but on the black market, the wine worth a thousand gold is also sold by us! The aristocratic family has a good face and is rich, but they don’t know that they have given hundreds of times the money to them. Our army spends on military expenses!"

"Your prime minister is really a profiteer!" After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Huang Yueying suddenly said something, and Pang Tong was so frightened that he wanted to cover her mouth!Although my subordinates don't use words to punish crimes, who knows if insulting me will be severely punished!They are now in the inner city of Luoyang, and they are all my people here, and they can't escape if they want to!
The shopkeeper smiled indifferently and said: "Miss, you are wrong! Even if the aristocratic family knows that this wine is very cheap, they still have to spend tens of thousands of gold to buy it, because only my lord can make this wine! My prime minister said It is worth as much as it is worth, and you don't have to buy it unless you don't want to drink it! The prime minister said that knowledge and monopoly are the root of wealth!" Huang Yueying didn't understand what the shopkeeper said, and neither did Pang Tong, but Pang Tong knew what the shopkeeper said It has already involved the secrets of our army.Suddenly, Pang Tong felt a little cold. He felt that he seemed very dangerous, because people who know too much and people who are too smart often don’t live long. Now he is not only a smart person, but also knows many secrets of our army. Pang Tong will naturally have Very strong sense of crisis.However, he didn't know where this crisis came from!The shopkeeper saw that Pang Tongtong was puzzled, so he stopped talking to Pang Tong. The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Sir, don't think about it. In fact, we often don't understand what the prime minister says, but I just need to remember that what the prime minister said must have his reasons." You two, it’s getting late, I’ll serve you food and drinks, and bath water, you should rest well, I’ll report to the prime minister about your coming to work, I think he will personally meet you!”

The shopkeeper's last words let Pang Tong know why he felt a sense of crisis!He still remembered that when he was in Wancheng, he was regarded as a spy just casually asking about my life and death, but now the shopkeeper told him that I was still alive!Knowing so many secrets, it is normal to have a sense of crisis!Pang Tong grabbed the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, why did you tell us so many secrets?"

"What kind of secret is this?" The shopkeeper said with a smile: "You must have passed a lot of tests to enter the inner city of Luoyang! Those who can pass the test will probably stay in our army! Since you will stay, these things are for you. It’s common sense at best! If you don’t believe me, just go out of the inn and ask someone to see if they know this!”
