Chapter 547: The Great Ceremony (C)
The crooked young man is none other than the prince of Qin who worshiped under Lu Dimen, Zhao Yi!
When the news of Lu Di's rebellion against Chen Heng was transmitted back to the Qin State, Zhao Yi was like him and asked for an order from the Duke of Qin, willing to lead troops to Qi to help his master.
Qin Aigong did not allow it, and it was not until the news that Lü Di had successfully incorporated Hua Zhou's 200,000 troops in the "Battle of Meng Lianggu" was transmitted back to Qin that Qin Aigong let Zhao Yi go to Qi with peace of mind, because he wanted his beloved son to learn from Lü Di to travel around the world to see the world.
Zhao Yi listened to his own advice, stopped and looked all the way, visited the sages and monarchs in various places, and his path was more than 20 countries, walked for three years, and finally came to the country of Qi, and it happened to coincide with Lu Di's enthronement ceremony and the military parade of the State of Qi.
Zhao Yi shook his head when he heard the guard's words of concern, signaling that he was fine, but he was thinking in his heart, what Qin State could be like Qi State, tearing open a basic life for those miserable and desperate slaves?
Zhao Yi and his warriors stirred with finger-thick green onions, and ate two bowls of sister-in-law noodles in a row, but they didn't feel it was enjoyable, and then asked for a few more bowls, until their stomachs were round and they were full of burps.
This meal cost a total of twenty-three Qi Tongbao, although Zhao Yi's guards felt that it was expensive, but thinking about the joy and happiness when eating noodles, they stopped talking, took out a money bag from their waists, and paid the money in a fluttering manner.
Jia Ren saw that the money paid was Daqi Tongbao, and secretly pouted: Ma Dan, it seems that he is a pseudo-nobleman!
Because in the world of the Jia people, if it is a nobleman, it is the Great Qi Silver Dollar and the Great Qi Ingot that are shot!
When Zhao Yi went out, he felt that he had eaten a mouthful of green onions, and he was very bad when he spoke, so he asked a local Qi person where there were sachets for sale.
The local Qi people glanced at Zhao Yi, and felt that the question he asked was very naïve, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and he was a native old hat from a low-grade country, but the Qi people were still very honest, and pointed out to Zhao Yi the place in Guide City, saying that there were things that sold gargling and cleaning up the odor in the mouth.
Zhao Yi didn't notice the Qi people's disdain for him, he was very grateful, and then folded his fan, and walked out of the snack street to Nanshi very coquettishly.
Walking into Nanshi, Zhao Yi was even more dumbfounded, what kind of city is this?
The cities that Zhao Yi has seen along the way are all dirty, backward and messy, but this one is different, it is simply a pavilion and a garden.
The green weeping willows on the side of the shops, the flower beds along the street, are a hundred flowers, there are pink butterflies flying on it from time to time, there are many people, but the streets are clean and there is no garbage to find, which is not only due to the high quality of the people, but also due to the fact that there is something called a garbage bin on the street not twenty steps away.
He saw many people throwing useless things or eaten fruit pits into the trash.
Occasionally, some scholars will not pay attention and the garbage will fall on the ground, and soon there will be people wearing a special burnt yellow costume, they will take brooms and buckets, and sweep the garbage into the buckets, and the streets will be clean again.
Zhao Yi was stunned when he saw this scene.
He stepped forward to find a person wearing this costume and asked carefully, and after asking, Zhao Yi was silent again.
These people used to be slaves, and now they have become ronins for various reasons, and then they have been selected by chance to become the cleaners of the official servants on this street, and they can get twenty great Qi Tongbao every month, although there are less, but they can't starve to death, and this is much more dignified than being hired and beggars.
Because some virtuous gentlemen will bow for them and express their gratitude when they see the scene of their hard work.
And that's better than anything else for them!
Zhao Yi bowed to the cleaning tenant and left.
The warriors behind him were also very silent, they thought about Qin Guo and then thought about this place, they felt that this was the place where people lived.
The so-called way to clean up the odor is very simple, which is to drink vinegar.
Zhao Yi and his warriors found an aged vinegar shop, bought a bowl of vinegar each, rinsed their mouths, and felt that the taste of green onions in their mouths was lighter.
The vinegar seller Jia Ren was a knowledgeable person, and when he heard Zhao Yi's accent and the particularly conspicuous and unusual crooked hair, he knew that he must be a nobleman from the Qin State, and he was thinking about how to hook up with the merchants of the Qin State and get the vinegar of the Qin State from there.
How could he be willing to let go of such a good opportunity?
Why do Jia people especially want to get the vinegar of Qin, it is because in this world, Qin vinegar and Jin vinegar are the most famous.
If you get it, it will definitely be out of stock in Linzi.
Jia Ren smiled and talked to Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi asked some questions as if he was curious about the baby, such as can Jia Ren have servants?
Jia Ren's answer is very affirmative, no!
Because servants can only be owned by those who have titles, and those who do not have titles cannot have servants, and if they are violated, they will be confiscated according to the law and made into slavery.
Regarding this answer, Zhao Yi was a little resistant, whether this Qi law was too strict, but the warriors behind him didn't think so, but felt that this was very good.
Because these warriors are all knighted people, they don't want to stand on the same level as a group of "slut" Jia businessmen.
The two were talking, and after a while, Jiaren's own little second brother brought the lotus root juice that had just been pressed this morning from the back hall.
The delicate pottery was filled with lotus root juice, and Jia Ren personally poured a few bowls for Zhao Yi and the group of warriors.
"Noble, this is lotus root juice, freshly pressed, you can taste it." Jia Ren's eyes smiled into slits.
Looking at the lotus root juice in the bowl, Zhao Yi did not hesitate and drank it: "Not bad, not bad, although this lotus root juice tastes a little dry, but there is a special sweetness in this dryness, it is really good, not bad!" ”
Jia Ren said happily when he heard this: "Nobleman, you don't know, if you want this lotus root juice to be delicious, you must use new lotus root, if you put some honey on it."
"It's just that I didn't expect you to arrive today, so I didn't prepare honey, if you wait, I will let people buy honey."
Zhao Yi smiled and refused when he heard this: "Thank you Jia Ren, but I don't know where your lotus root came from, and there is no lotus root sold in Linzi City."
Jia Ren listened and explained: "Nobleman, you don't know, this lotus root belongs to aquatic products, and the Linzi Decree has been promulgated, and all aquatic products can only be traded in the morning market next to Zishui outside the city, so you can't see that there are lotus roots sold in the city."
Zhao Yi sighed when he heard this, he said why when he first came to Linzi that morning, he saw many people carrying buckets into the city, and he thought it was to pick up domestic water?
Feelings, that bucket should be filled with aquatic products.
Seeing that Jia Ren was so enthusiastic about himself, Zhao Yi said: "I don't know Jia Ren, what can E do for you?" ”
