The shops and workshops inside and outside Fengxin City are basically owned by the Pingxihou Mansion. They are as large as the large caravans smuggling in the snowfields to the Chu State, as small as the dim sum shops on the street, and even as intimate as the coffin shops in the city. Pingxihou Mansion It can be said that the tentacles deeply touch all aspects of the entire Jindong.
The Yingbin Inn is naturally one of them. The residents are basically foreigners, most of the caravans stay here, and only a few travel to visit relatives.
?If you seriously seek refuge or want to belong here, you have to register and register. If you want to hide and become a black household, if you are discovered, not only you will be punished, but also the person who helped hide will be punished with a felony.
When facing some policies, the scholar-bureaucrats in the officialdom of the Qian State often like to shout: Never compete with the people for profit.
However, the Pingxi Hou Mansion in the east of Shanxi can be said to fully embody "struggling with the people for profit".
only,
? Before coming to the east of Shanxi, it was destroyed by the war and turned into a white land. The people are mainly displaced people. After seeing the scene of human life in wartime, they are more grateful and satisfied with the peaceful days nowadays;
Secondly, the people under the Pingxihou Mansion, in terms of welfare, food and clothing, are indeed superior to other lands. Even in Jiangnan, the most affluent place in Zhuxia, the life of the people at the bottom may not be here. The people are more stable and stable.
just one,
At a time when all countries, including Yan, still regard the "people's power" as their own property and can levy "corvettes" at will, the workshops here in Pingxihou's Mansion have adopted the method of labor-based remuneration early on, which is a big step ahead. Even a large dimension.
In the early years, Juggernaut's wife supported her mother-in-law and Liu Dahu by working in the perfume workshop.
As for the civilian husbands recruited by the Hou Mansion when they want to send troops to the expedition, it is true that they will not give money in advance, but after the victory, the civilian husbands will also receive rewards that have been distributed. It ends in victory. When the victory of war becomes a kind of inertia, the people tend to regard war as a shortcut to get rich, ignoring some of the dark side attributes of war.
In addition, many troupes under the Marquis of Pingxi's Mansion often interpret the tragic situation of the local Jin people when they faced the savages and Chu people's looting before the Marquis of Pingxi came to Jindong. This did not make the people afraid of the war, but they were firm If you don't fight with them, you have to go out to fight. It is better to fight on other people's territory than to fight in your own home.
The blind man once joked that what he designed and built was not a manor of a large landlord, but more like an "enterprise". The entire Houfu is actually a "company" disguised.
at this time,
In the private room by the window on the third floor of the Yingbin Inn, there were two people sitting.
Both of them were dressed as merchants, one had a fairer complexion, and the other had a rougher complexion.
On the table, a few small dishes are not uncommon, but the Huadiao wine that is paired with it has a strong origin. It has a thick and strong taste, which can hold the throat. Those who like it can be said to love it to the bone.
The fair and clean one's surname is Miao, and his name is Miao Lin; the rough man's surname is Lu, and his name is Lu Xiong.
Miao Lin is the small treasurer of a caravan from the state of Qian, and Lu Xiong is the small treasurer of the caravan from the state of Lu;
The former was reported by the Yinjiawei of the Qian State, while the latter had an official status in the State of Lu.
The State of Lu is a small country at the junction of the four great powers, but in Fengxin City in the east of Jin, everyone can put aside the so-called stereotypes about the size of the country and sit together and drink wine as equals.
These days, peddlers, especially peddlers who go abroad, either have status as the shopkeeper or a guy in the caravan has status. This is a tacit understanding agreed by everyone.
It's just that most of these merchants just hang their names and go back with some rumored news. They can be regarded as non-staff members of the non-staff.
In Fengxin City, this phenomenon has been "explained";
Those who have this kind of "name" can report to the shopkeeper of the inn, can enjoy discounts on board and lodging, and can jump in line with latte brands when they ship and buy goods;
And if it is discovered that it is concealed and not reported, skinning and cramping are considered benevolent punishments.
It's not that there are no merchants who are loyal to their home country, but most of them really don't have this awareness. Miao Lin and Lu Xiong belong to the group who are aware of current affairs.
"The shopkeeper Xiao's business route was blocked due to the war a while ago. I heard that he was going to take a detour to Fancheng. It's not surprising that he didn't arrive because of the delay. But shopkeeper Fei, why didn't he come?"
Shopkeeper Xiao is from Chu, and he bears the name of Fengchao Internal Guard; shopkeeper Fei is from Yan.
Lu Xiong smiled, stretched out his hand to pick up a piece of duck meat and put it into his mouth, he chewed and said: "A spy from the secret spy department of Yan State, maybebsp; "" Xue San.
"Don't worry, as long as you feel good, it's fine. If you scold me, you can blame me. It's okay."
"Bah, traitor!"
On the high platform,
Lord Mao took out the imperial decree bravely, and coughed a few times at the same time, hoping that Prince Pingxi would put down the child in his arms first, and let's go through the process first.
Who knows,
at this time,
To the west of the high platform, more than a dozen teams came on horseback. Their armor was quite different from that of the soldiers under the command of the Hou Mansion who had already finished changing their outfits;
However, the soldiers here did not stop them, nor did they follow them. Obviously, they had received orders in advance, otherwise, the foreign soldiers would not have been able to march here as if no one else was present.
Up and down the high platform, most people looked there.
? As the dozen or so teams got closer and closer,
A loud roar followed,
In the past, these general soldiers who followed King Jingnan in the Southern and Northern Wars now have some titles as generals and some as earls, but today, all of them have changed back to their original official titles:
"Luo Ling, the commander-in-chief of King Jingnan, is here to meet His Royal Highness!"
"Chen Yang, the commander-in-chief of King Jingnan, meet the young master!"
"Ren Juan, the commander-in-chief of King Jingnan, please greet the young master!"
"Zhao Ande, the commander-in-chief of King Jingnan, meet the young master!"
"Li Guangzong, the commander-in-chief of King Jingnan, please young master Fukang!"
"Under King Jingnan"
""
Mao Mingcai swallowed subconsciously, what is this for!
His Highness the Fifth Highness even shivered subconsciously, whether this is to crown the king or raise the flag to rebel!
All the generals stationed in the Jin area did not obey orders at all, did not say hello, left their posts without authorization, and all gathered here!
The soldiers and civilians who watched the grand ceremony thought that so many generals came to congratulate them, and they felt very respectable when they heard the name. Most of them had also heard that the son of Prince Jingnan, who was famous all over the world, was raised by his own "prince" all the time. In the mansion, at this time, they cheered even more eagerly.
However, the officials of the imperial missions who are qualified to stand on the high platform and stand under the high platform have an extremely frightening sense of strangeness. They feel that they have been involved in a terrible vortex, as if the next moment, the people who greet them , that is torn to pieces.
Prince Ji Chuanye looked at Brother Tiantian who had been taking care of him these days and would ask himself if he wanted to pee at night.
As the blind man expected,
Facing this, Prince Pingxi was a little surprised at first, but soon, a smile appeared on his face.
At this very moment,
?It seems to have returned to the time when everyone led various soldiers and horses, beating drums and gathering generals in front of King Jingnan's tent.
"Father, who are they?" Tian Tian asked.
Zheng Fan replied: "They are all your father's people."
