In the Ming Dynasty, although the shortage of horses was not as great as in the Song Dynasty, ordinary people could not afford to keep a fat horse. Liu Pei riding a bay-red horse was equivalent to driving a horse on the road.

A Maserati! Everyone on the road knew that this man was either rich or noble, so they all gave way to him at a distance, which was convenient for Liu Pei. Anyway, he didn't know how to ride a horse, so he just let the horse walk along the road. Everyone

Let him avoid any trouble.

Liu Pei approached the Jinan City Gate along the road. Looking from a distance, the city gate was open. There was an endless stream of people entering and exiting the city gate. There were people with empty hands, people carrying luggage, people carrying burdens, people pushing carts, and merchants carrying goods.

There was no large group of people at the city gate. There were only two soldiers leaning against the gate with spears in their hands. They did not check passers-by. It seemed that they were more interested in collecting city gate fees. They just stared at a wooden box placed next to the gate.

.Only Director Lan occasionally asked a few simple questions. There were also a dozen soldiers dozing against the wall not far away. These soldiers were sallow and thin, with messy buns. The red fat coats on their bodies were also in tatters. Those who were awake were also

He was leaning against the wall listlessly, not looking like a soldier at all.

Looking at the looks of these soldiers, Liu Pei knew why Jinan City was conquered by Hou Jin. With the looks of these soldiers in front of him, it was impossible to win the battle! But Liu Pei felt that this matter had nothing to do with him. Now

The most important thing for him is how to sneak into the city gate.

After approaching the city gate, Liu Pei got off his horse and led the horse over. When the city gate was close at hand, Liu Pei was not in a hurry to enter. Instead, he stood by the road and pretended to be waiting for someone.

After standing for a while, Liu Pei turned around and waved to the soldier closest to him at the door impatiently. The soldier was startled when he saw Liu Pei greeting him. He was stunned for a moment and dragged his spear.

He came over hesitantly. He was probably still thinking about what this noble young master had to say.

Before Liu Pei spoke, he took out a small silverbait and threw it at the soldier. The soldier subconsciously reached out and took it. When he saw what was in his hand, his eyes widened and he looked at Liu Pei in bewilderment.

The pay for soldiers in the Ming Dynasty was already very low. Soldiers in strategic locations could get more. If there was a battle,

They were somewhat rewarded with silver, and they had to endure double deductions from civil servants and superior officials. As for soldiers in unimportant areas, their salaries were even lower. The "Wujin County Chronicle" of the Ming Dynasty stated that "recruited people were paid one cent per day of silver", which means that their annual salary was

It was less than 4 taels of silver. So when the soldier saw this little silver fish, his soul flew to the sky. The other soldiers would only focus on the silver, and they would not care whether Liu Pei had a guide!

Liu Pei said impatiently: "I made an appointment with my friend to meet here, but he never arrived, so I won't wait for him. If someone comes here to wait for someone in a while, you tell him that I have gone to the city first. Do you understand?"

"

The soldier nodded repeatedly as if waking from a dream, and said, "I understand! I understand, little one! I just don't know what that person looks like?"

Liu Pei led the horse towards the city gate and said at the same time: "It's a man who wears a green robe like me. But he is over thirty years old and has three short beards."

The soldier followed Liu Pei and nodded repeatedly, saying: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely bring the message to you! Have a good trip, sir!"

Liu Pei ignored him and led the horse directly into the city gate. It wasn't until he passed the city gate that Liu Pei felt relieved. As long as he entered the city, the problem would not be big. Only then did Liu Pei have the heart to appreciate it.

The scenery of Jinan.

The city of Jinan is worthy of being called the capital of Tongdu. It is indeed very prosperous. People are coming and going on the streets, and the sound of hawking is heard one after another. The houses on both sides of the street also have cornices, which is very spectacular.

Liu Pei led the horse and walked with the crowd, admiring the street scene. He was still thinking that he was lucky and had no troubles on the road. But Liu Pei didn't know that it was near the end of the Ming Dynasty, and all disciplines had already broken down.

, no one strictly enforces the law. During the Taizu period, merchants were prohibited from wearing silk, but at this moment, the streets are full of wealthy businessmen wearing silk gowns. If Liu Pei had worn silk in the Taizu period of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how well he disguised it

He was caught and imprisoned early!

Liu Peixin walked for a while and found a big sign on the street in front of her with the words "Yelai Inn" written on it. Liu Peixin said, "There are so many Yuelai Inns! I don't know how many movies and TV series I have watched."

It’s a Yuelai Inn. I didn’t expect that there is also a Yuelai in Jinan City.

Inn. But it looks like this store is not small and meets the requirements. Let’s stay here!

Thinking of this, Liu Pei led the horse and walked towards the inn. As soon as he arrived at the door of the inn, two waiters came out. A tall waiter asked with a smile: "Young master, do you want to stay in an inn? Ours is a century-old inn.

! There is an apartment across the courtyard, and there is an upper room! The cook is also good at cooking, and he can cook great dishes from the north and the south!"

Liu Pei didn't wait for him to finish, took out a small bunch of copper coins from his saddle bag and threw it over, saying: "I need to make arrangements across the courtyard. Help me carry the baggage over and feed the horse."

The clerk flicked his wrist almost as soon as the copper coins came into his hands, and the string of copper coins fell into his arms. It was so neat! He reached out and took off Liu Pei's baggage and led the person to the store. The other clerk held the hand

The horse went to feed.

Liu Pei followed the waiter into the store, and was greeted by the shopkeeper. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Pei interrupted him. Liu Pei took out a silver stem from his arms and handed it over, saying: "Don't say too much."

Talk! I am very tired from traveling! Arrange a trip across the hospital and prepare four more local dishes. No wine is required. There is also hot water! I want to take a good bath and rest."

With this sentence, he knocked back all the shopkeeper's words. When the shopkeeper touched the silver string in his hand, he knew he had met a noble person!

The silver sword is in the shape of a double-edged axe when viewed from the front. It looks like a flat boat when viewed from the side. One side is slightly convex and the other side is slightly concave. The convex surface is as smooth as a mirror. Normally speaking, during the Ming Dynasty,

Due to the technical reasons of refining and pouring, privately cast silver coins often have many bubbles, resulting in the bottom surface not being very smooth. The convex side of the silver coin ordered by Liu Pei is extremely smooth. This is because of modern processing technology.

Because it's too high, you can't get bubbles out even if you want to, it can only look like this smooth!

In the sunken place on the front of the silver stem, there are four words engraved vertically in the middle: Liu's Tibetan Silver. There is a line of words on each of the four corners: Real Flower Fine Silver. Under the Liu's Tibetan Silver, there is also a net weight of 10 taels. There are also two words on both sides.

There are two gourds engraved on it, which is derived from the homophonic pronunciation of the word Fulu.
