It is said to be an official, but it is actually no different from a robber.

It’s not that no one has resisted, but these days, the people are not as good as pigs and dogs. They are driven by others all their lives. Even if they are really angry for a moment and want to ask for an explanation, they are scared to death as the officers and soldiers cut the troublemakers to death, so they are already scared and dare not stand up again.

Jin State has always implemented a policy of fooling the people. The common people do not know the big words and want to read and recognize words. Just buying paper, books, and pens is enough for the family of seven to spend a year. The imperial examination is once every three years, and the civilian children admitted are not even 100%.

Rich merchants can afford it, but their business is not allowed to enter the court according to the laws of Jin, and they can only be businessmen for generations.

They are like donkeys blindfolded. If the owner is kind, they can live happily all their lives. If the owner is cruel, even if he is beaten, he will never dare to resist.

It has to be said that such people are absolutely beneficial to the king. The king's status is always noble and unchanging. Even if he and his army only have 100,000, 200,000, and the people are millions and tens of millions, these people who have long been oppressed will definitely not dare to stand up.

Wei Mingyan rode a horse and wore a snow-white fox fur cloak. He looked at the tall city from afar, and smiled on his lips.

It's just that no one is guiding.

Wei Mingyan and his group attracted the people around him to see it as soon as they entered the city. After all, since the war in Jin State began, the merchants and children of officials who almost regarded Miaocheng as their families have never come again.

Their city has been desolate for too long, and a long convoy of vehicles came, and the people could not stop being curious.

In the end, the convoy parked outside the largest restaurant.

The young man in white, who was leading the way, turned over and got off the horse. He came up and there were about thirty men wearing the same clothes behind him, followed.

They wear the same clothes, match the same sword, move the same way, and even the sound of landing is together.

The people looked around secretly, and the young man who looked like a noble man was greeted by the shopkeeper nodding and bowing. The same-dressed entourage stood outside with a stern face, making people dare not approach it.

They watched quietly while doing their work. After a while, the people were called in and the door was closed. Someone could see that the people were sitting in the lobby on the first floor, plates of good dishes were delivered to the table, and jars of good wine were put on.

The fragrance spread along the door, causing people around to swallow.

The world is difficult now. How long has it been since they ate meat? When they smell the aroma of the meat, the sour water in their mouths keeps rising. In addition, the weather is cold, and they don’t have thick clothes to avoid the cold. After standing for a while, the coldness under their feet rises upwards, making their lips purple.

But even so, more and more people came over. For nothing else, just smelling this smell, I felt very satisfied.

A child couldn't help but walk forward as he smelled the fragrance, and was quickly carried back by the adults in panic.

The people inside were obviously of great origin. If they annoyed the nobles, even if they killed them, they would have no choice.

The people outside were sniffing the smell cautiously and eagerly fantasizing how good it would be if they had eaten it themselves. The waiter in the restaurant hurried out and immediately pulled down when he saw a group of people around him.

"Go and go, don't get in here."

The people all retreated in disappointment. Before they could take two steps, the waiter's eyes lit up. He walked forward in three or two steps and grabbed a white-haired old man in the crowd. "San Uncle, don't you raise two chickens and a few fish at home? Take it to us quickly, and the opportunity to get rich is here."

The old man was trembling with his hands in his sleeves because he didn't have thick clothes. He was stunned when he heard his words before he reacted, "But the chicken and fish were reserved for the Zhang family girl."

He finally asked someone to buy it, and the fish was brought back by his son after he chiseled it on the ice for a long time, just to make his face look better when he was hired.

"Oh my uncle! The master inside said that he bought it at twice the price. What a great opportunity. When the chicken and fish are exchanged for money, then you will give it to the Zhang family. You will have a gloom on your face!"

"If it weren't for the lack of chickens raised in our restaurant, such a good opportunity wouldn't fall on you. Go quickly, hurry up, I'll wait for you here."

The old man's eyes widened when he heard the price twice, and stopped warming his hands. He hurriedly ran home, fearing that the opportunity would be gone.

Although his nephew is a little powerful, he helped him several times because he was not full when he was a child. He always remembered this kindness, but he was not as good as his poor uncle. On the contrary, he would bring some leftovers in the restaurant on weekdays.

The old man believed his words.

When the people around him heard this, they were looking at the old man's back running away enviously, sighing that he did not have such a good relative, a noble man with a sword came out from inside.

Hou Er raised his throat and looked dissatisfied, "Waiter! How much did you buy chicken, duck, fish, and meat?"

"We brothers are still hungry!"

The waiter hurriedly ran to the lobby in a panic.

"Hey, my grandfather, aren't I going to find someone who usually supplies chickens and ducks? Wait a little longer, I'll be back soon..."

"I'll starve to death if I wait!"

"Okay."

Wei Mingyan put down the wine cup that was turning in his hand and said lightly, "Don't bother, just buy it at the homes of the nearby people. Slaughter it immediately after selling it here, and eat it and rest as soon as possible."

The waiter was suddenly embarrassed. Just now, the shopkeeper asked him to go to his brother-in-law's house first, "Master, look at how troublesome this is, it's better..."

The shopkeeper was always serving Wei Mingyan carefully. When he saw him frowning as he listened to the waiter's words, he seemed unhappy and said quickly, "Hey, it's here, listen to you."

Anyway, there are not many people outside, and they are all dilapidated. How many chickens and ducks can be used? It is reasonable to go to his brother-in-law to collect it when there is not enough.

He was afraid of offending the customer who had finally arrived, so he quickly invited the rest of the restaurant to go out to collect chickens and ducks.

The people who were envious of others outside did not expect that they could do it. There were chickens, ducks, fish and chickens, and they were so happy that they had no place to put their hands and feet, so they ran home to get it.

Some people are hesitating whether to believe the people inside. After all, these things are no less than half a property for them. If they take the chicken and duck and don’t pay for them, these people can fight again and the government doesn’t care about the matter, and they will definitely not get any benefits.

At this moment, the waiter's uncle ran quickly with the chicken and fish.

Seeing his nephew taking the chicken and fish with one hand, the money was twice as much as the market price, the crowd suddenly became excited.

Some people ran away and didn't even bother to pick up the straw sandals, for fear that they would come too late and the nobles would not want them.

Living near and far away, the avenue outside the restaurant became lively soon.

"Master, you see, there are more and more people, too many, why don't I let them part..."

The shopkeeper's face was a little bitter. Now the chicken and duck cages in their kitchen were already filled with them. Although these noble people were many, they would definitely not be able to eat so much meat.

"It doesn't matter."

Wei Mingyan tasted the dish, raised his eyebrows, put down his chopsticks, "You can make it after you buy it, it's not that I can't afford it."

Even if you eat it for three days, you can't finish it.

The shopkeeper said in his heart that it was okay, but he still smiled with a shy face, "Yes, I'll let the kitchen do it now."

The waiter gets the order and will receive the message until sunset tonight when he passes it.

It was spread to ten thousand times. Soon, almost half of the city knew that a noble man had come to the city and was collecting chicken, duck, fish and meat in a restaurant. The price was doubled and the money could be obtained immediately.

More and more people were crowded outside, and the noisy sound of chickens and ducks shouting had no effect on the nobles who were eating and drinking happily in the restaurant, and they still should eat whatever they wanted.

"Okay, don't wander around in front of me." Wei Mingyan took a sip of wine and put down the wine glass with some disgust. "This is the best wine here?"

The shopkeeper quickly said, "Yes, my master, this is from the best winery in our Chengzhou..."

"laugh."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the young noble man in front of him stand up and throw it away casually. The shopkeeper subconsciously caught it and realized that it was a ingot of silver.

"I'll give you a reward, let the upstairs move faster, I'll have to rest after eating."

“Yes, yes…”

The shopkeeper held the silver liang, nodded and rushed upstairs. When he walked to the side, he was stopped by Hou Er who had just entered the door.

"After a while, our young master must use Su Jin quilt surface, and the satin laid underneath is from Yunxiangfang. Do you have this?"

In the middle of winter, the shopkeeper was sweating.

He had heard of Su Jin. It is said that a cloth costs 200 taels. As for Yunxiangfang, it is only available in the capital, and it is also priced at gold. How could they have this restaurant? Even if you look at the entire Miaocheng, you can't buy it.

Where did this noble person come from? This pomp and this cost are probably not so powerful even the royal relatives.

"This, small shop, there is really no small shop..."

After he finished speaking, he saw that the fierce-looking man in front of him had a deep face, and his heart seemed to sink, for fear that he would pull out the knife and chop him up.

"Master, look, is Yunhuaduan OK? This is the best in Miaocheng..."

Hou Er waved his hand with a gloomy face, "Okay, your small place is not normal, so I won't be difficult for you."

The shopkeeper's boss breathed a sigh of relief, and his body was still stiff because he had scared him before. He just watched Hou Er knock on the table closest to them.

"Second brother."

The two big men who were just eating meat and drinking were just now put down their things and stood up respectfully.

"You go outside to the carriage and move the master's things upstairs."

"yes."

The two of them left with a slight hint of their mouths. The shopkeeper was shocked and quickly left the lobby, and from time to time they ran to urge the kitchen to cook quickly, so as not to make the noble people unhappy if they served late.

He was sweating profusely when the waiter who had arranged the room upstairs ran down and said, "The nobleman had removed the door."

The shopkeeper quickly ran up again, and indeed saw at a glance that the most expensive door of the room had been removed and threw it aside.

His heart immediately felt distressed. He used soft wood. It was not as good as before. If he wanted to buy soft wood, it would take a lot of effort.

But no matter how much pain in my heart hurts, I will walk up with a smile, "Masters, look at my door..."

"Our young master can't get used to this smell, so he dismantled it. Don't worry, money is indispensable to you."

After these people finished speaking, they opened the curtain and went in.

Although the curtain was only opened for a short while, the shopkeeper was sure that he could smell a fragrance.

He still remembers this fragrance fresh.

Seven years ago, when Miaocheng was still very prosperous, there was a minister in their restaurant for two days. The minister burned the fragrance of Zhumu, which was the fragrance.

He used to ask why he was so frugal about Na Xiang because of the luxury of traveling. When he knew the price, he pretended to be hard in his heart for several days.
