In the Han Dynasty, markets were classified according to their size and nature, and could be divided into four categories: large market, small market, grass market and specialized market. Local cities mostly refer to the cities where states and counties are located; Most of the counties are small cities. However, whether it is a large or small market, it needs to be placed under the management of the government after completion. The difference between the large market and the small market is that most of the large markets are government-run and the small markets are privately established, while the grass market is spontaneous at the beginning, and was later taken over by the government, mostly outside the city, and the difference with the inner market is that there is no market.

The Zhuoxian Nai Market is located in the center of the city, a bit of a city center.

But this kind of government-run bazaar is really not very convenient, especially in a big county like Zhuoxian, some people who are close to Wengcheng or even located in the middle of the country want to buy necessities of life, in addition to buying from the peddlers and women who walk the streets and alleys, they can only spend a lot of time to go to the central market, and later in order to meet the needs of similar people, some traders set their sights on the outside of the city, and set up stalls outside the city. In order to distinguish it from the bazaar in the city, the people called it the market outside the city, that is, the grass market, but without the supervision of the government, it became a gathering place for flies, dogs, and lawbreakers.

Unlike the black miasma of the outside of the city, there are walls around the city, and the market is opened every day, and the market is opened by beating drums (the market is opened and closed regularly), that is to say, there is a trading in the middle of the day, and it will be left at night, so buyers and sellers will arrive very early and wait for the market to open. There are many shops in the city, the operators are rich merchants, there are also small handicraftsmen, the Hanshu Food and Goods Chronicle records that the merchants are large and the small ones are sitting in the column for sale, and many long-term fixed shops in the market must obtain the right of residence and business right from the government, and the price is to declare the city registration, and then pay the city rent to the government regularly, otherwise the right to operate will be cancelled.

The market is full of goods, the trade here is extremely prosperous, in order to facilitate the people to buy the goods of Ruyi at the first time, the city is divided into countless areas, such as selling rice and noodles in the northwest, selling silk cloth in the northeast, selling jewelry and jade in the southwest, selling mules, horses, chickens and ducks in the southeast.

Early in the morning, Xu Atai, Guan Yu and a group of ten people went out of the post house to find some fun, men to have fun, of course, women are the first choice, originally thought about whether it was in the government-run music workshop or the private ** to find fun, but because the hour was still only one ** open for business, it saved a lot of trouble, everyone came to the door and didn't want Guan Yu to have a wife and children but politely refused everyone's kindness, and then said that he went shopping by himself.

This Guan Yu is a strange freak in their eyes, I don't know what to think about every day, it's still difficult to approach, arrogant, at first I thought it was his first arrival, and then after a long time, I knew that this person's temperament was like this, and after Guan Yu left, one person said: "Xu Buqu (Governor), I said that I shouldn't call him here!" ”

Another person said, "I've come here, and I haven't gone in yet, it can't be that this kid has a problem, right?" ”

"I don't know what Sima thinks, send such a person, what to pretend, I really think I'm an uncle, I don't know which corner I was in when my brothers followed Sima from birth to death in the grassland!"

"Okay, okay, don't say a word, Sima said, when our soldiers are ready, we will transfer him away!" Xu Atai waved his hand, and then said, "Actually, I don't want to go in either, let's play, brother, I'll go to other places too!" ”

Xu Atai also left, looking at his back, everyone smiled bitterly: "Two freaks!" ”

Xu Atai was wandering around the market, and suddenly saw Guan Yu drinking alone in front of a wine shop, he wanted to turn around and leave, but somehow he walked straight into the wine shop as if he didn't obey the call.

The wine shop is not big, only a few straw mats, Guan Yu dipped his fingers in the wine from time to time in front of the banquet and scribbled, he would ponder for a while after drawing, and then take some meat and flatbread from the basin placed at his feet, eat some and scribble in front of the wine.

In the Han Dynasty, drinking was prevalent, and the consumption of wine was extremely large, and more than 30 kinds of profitable industrial and commercial products were recorded, and the wine-making industry was listed first. "The winer, the beauty of the sky, the emperor so nourishes the world, enjoys the blessings, and helps the decrepit and the sick. The meeting of 100 rites is not good if it is not wine. In the Han Dynasty, wine became a ceremony, and the wine ceremony reflected everywhere "respect and humility orderly, young and old orderly; There is a difference between intimacy and intimacy, and there is a difference between inside and outside. Such a ceremonial core made wine and etiquette like twin brothers in the Han Dynasty, inseparable.

The wine operated by the tavern is only the grain wine made from grain, which is divided into turbid wine and mellow wine, and the wine is divided into four categories in the entire Han Dynasty, grain wine, blended wine, fruit wine, and milk wine, these four types of wine are derived from the government-run winemaking workshop, private winemaking workshop and home brewing, and the official winemaking is mostly used in sacrifices, festival celebrations, and private brewing will appear in weddings, banquets and other drinking occasions, but such wine belongs to tax wine, and it is necessary to pay tax money to the wine official, and this is also derived from the Han Dynasty cupbearer after experiencing the prohibition of alcohol and drinking.

From a literal point of view, the prohibition of alcohol is the prohibition of brewing and prohibiting the sale, and the wine is a special tax levied by the government on wine, first of all, he is different from the general municipal tax, because it is a luxury product, the amount of levy is larger, so from the late Western Han Dynasty, the wine tax has been completely incorporated into the state finance, and after the state allows the private brewing and private sales, the tavern must not only pay the city tax but also pay the wine rent on time.

Xu Atai hesitated for a moment but resolutely came to Guan Yu's side, looked down at Ai Ji, but his face was shocked, it was unbelievable that Guan Yu still had such a preference, sat down opposite him, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Yun Chang to also have an ancient style, admiring the battle array?" ”

"This is not a battle formation, but an offensive and defensive deduction!"

The offensive and defensive performances came from the Mo family, Guan Yu knew that he was speechless after speaking, and when he looked up, he found that it was Xu Atai, and immediately stopped his movements and said, "It's just a mess." After saying that, he waved his sleeves and wiped the wine on the table.

"What's the fun of deducing the battle formation alone, why don't I be your opponent?"

"Xu Buqu didn't go to ...... with them"

"Fame and fortune are the same competition in the world, but apart from money and beauty, is there nothing else?"

Guan Yu smiled, and he didn't know whether to laugh or sneer, anyway, he knew that although this Xu Atai was from Hedong with him, he really didn't look at him, he couldn't look down on himself, how could he afford him? He watched coldly and did not speak.

Xu Atai knew that Guan Yu would show this unbeaten expression, if he didn't know that Sima was planted in his hands and Sima Qian told him to clean him up in private, if he changed on weekdays, he would have thrown his sleeves and left, but those boys all went shopping, he couldn't wander around in Zhuo County, where he was unfamiliar with his life, and he sat down patiently after thinking about it again and again, and what he thought about was nothing more than wanting to use deduction to destroy Guan Yu's majesty, polishing and polishing his arrogance in his bones!

According to the memory, the wine table that Guan Yu wiped dry drew a matchup diagram with wine again, and first dipped it at five o'clock in front of him and asked: What is this? ”

"Karasuma!" Guan Yu, who closed his eyes slightly, said without being salty.

Xu Atai sneered in his heart for a while to see how I made you lose your armor, and then reached out in front of Guan Yu according to the formation arrangement, and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Sima!"

Xu Atai was stunned in his heart, only to know that this Guan Yu was actually using wine to deduce the battle between Sima and Karasuma, the previous deduction was not the deduction of the ancient battle array, and it was unheard of to deduce the future confrontation like Guan Yu, which immediately made him full of interest, and asked urgently: "What is the situation of Fang Jin's battle?" ”

"Sima is new, tired teacher!"

"Where's Karasuma?"

"Recharge your batteries and get ready for war!"

"Yun Chang is the master, I don't know how to fight in this battle?"

"The Hu people are fighting with me, if you talk about cavalry, you are better than you are good at it?" Guan Yu kicked the ball back to Xu Atai's feet.

"If it is Xianbei, he occupies the elite of the army, and I occupy the weapon, but there is a little cloud chief who may not know, that Xianbei Lord Leader has captured my craftsman, knows my iron smelting technique, and is familiar with my method of refining the blade, once it is mass-produced, I am afraid that the victory or defeat will be divided into seven or three!"

"Seventy-three?" He was a little confused, not knowing what these seven represented.

Xu Atai seemed to see the doubts in Guan Yu's heart, and said: "Xianbei is seven and I am three!" ”

Guan Yu's heart had never been so shocked by a sentence, he could think of the future tragedy against the Xianbei people, but this was just Xu Atai's speculation, maybe the Xianbei lord had not mastered the technique of exercising the first knife of the hundred battle rings? After a little calm, he continued to ask, "If it's Karasuma, what is the win?" ”
