When the waiter Xiaoliu heard this, his expression changed slightly. Then, he opened the door slightly, smiled bitterly and said to Shen Tang in a low voice: "Sir, is this your first time in Beidi?"
Seeing Shen Tang nodding, Xiao Liu just said again: "No wonder, guest, in this Qinyang City, you must not call yourself a Song Dynasty person!"
"Oh?" Shen Tang was stunned, "Why is this?"
Xiao Liu smiled bitterly, and after a while he whispered: "My guest, I shouldn't talk too much, but in order to prevent your guest from causing trouble, Xiao Liu boldly warned your guest!"
"It is true that we are Song people, but now this place has become the Kingdom of Jin. Therefore, the name of Song people must not be used randomly! In the city, we Song people can only call ourselves untouchables. Otherwise, maybe we will They will be arrested and imprisoned, and they may not even know whether they are alive or dead."
Xiaoliu's words made Shen Tang stunned, with anger and depression in his heart! Untouchable! What an insult? But, should the boy in front of him be blamed? Under the iron heel of the Jin Kingdom, even the imperial court retreated. The emperor recognized the thief as his father and performed the ritual of leading a sheep, so why should he blame this young man and the people in the city?
They just want to find a way out.
"As for the guest officer's question, that's easy! We Song people are shrewd and skillful. Which shop in the city is not owned by us Song people? With the nature of those barbarians, how can they know how to do business?"
Although Shen Tang and others were warned not to call people from the Song Dynasty at will, when Xiao Liu mentioned the word "people from the Song Dynasty", his face was filled with pride!
Yes, how can we, the mighty Song Dynasty, be compared to the barbarians over there? The Song people and the Han people have always been the greatest and most hard-working nation in the world, and its people have enough reasons to be proud of them. Although, at the moment, I can only survive, but the pride in my heart has never changed.
"Xiao Liu, have you ever thought about returning to the Song Dynasty?" Shen Tang asked slowly.
Xiaoliu was stunned for a moment, and then said quietly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, sir. When I was born, this place was already occupied by the Jin people. However, since I was a child, my father has constantly warned me that I am a Song people! In the south, there is my country and my people! My Song Dynasty is rich and peaceful, and my Song Dynasty is picturesque..."
"I have been looking forward to it. My father has been looking forward to it for twenty-five years, but in the end he died looking at the south. And my hope has gradually been wiped out. My father once said that one day, our Great Song Dynasty's heavenly soldiers will descend from the sky and kill these beasts. Drive away and turn this place into a prosperous place again. But... thirty-five years have passed..."
When Xiao Liu exited the room, his eyes were already wet!
Shen Tang suddenly picked up the jug and drank it all in one gulp. Only when there was no more drop of wine in the jug did he slam it to the ground!
"We... must gather strength as quickly as possible to take back this northern land from the hands of the Jin people! Otherwise, in another thirty years, will this still be our homeland?"
Time can erase too many things. Thirty years is already a generation! Xiaoliu and the others still have the teachings of the previous generation, so they will still watch over their motherland under the high pressure of the Jin Kingdom. But, in another thirty years, At that time, will they still remember that they once had a name called 'Song'? Or, they have become accustomed to the driving of the Jin people, or even the name of the untouchable!
That night, although they were in the northern part of the enemy's country, the three of them were extremely drunk! The next day, the three of them didn't wake up from their sleep until three o'clock in the morning.
The three of them gathered together, everything was as before, but everyone's eyes were a little more anxious.
The Song Dynasty can't wait any longer, and her people can't wait any longer either!
When the three of them came out, they walked west along the street! Shen Tang had already asked that the largest market in Qinyang City was in the west of the city.
After walking for about half an hour, the flow of people on the street suddenly increased. Moreover, many people had set up stalls on both sides of the street, and there were various and comprehensive things.
Moreover, in addition to people from the Song Dynasty, there are also people from the Jin Dynasty who sell some cowhide, blankets and other things at this stall. I asked a few prices, and although they are not cheap, they are much inferior to those in Jiangnan.
No wonder merchants had to risk their lives to travel back and forth between the north and the south. Whether it was specialties from the south of the Yangtze River or things from the north, they could make huge profits just by traveling there.
Naturally, Shen Tang and the others were not interested in these things. They walked all the way, and when they reached an open space, they arrived at the center of Fang City.
And here, there is a large amount of silk, ceramics and other valuables to inquire and purchase, such as the dozen or so taels of fine silk cloth from the south of the Yangtze River, which is already extremely luxurious, but it is sold here for about a hundred taels. .Thinking about it, Teng Wu and the others should have gained quite a lot from their large amount of goods!
After a moment of wandering, Shen Tang discovered the true purpose of himself and others.
In a corner of the city, there was a man wearing a green hat. He did not strike up a conversation with anyone, nor shouted loudly. However, beside him, there were actually ten tall horses tied up. You can tell just by looking at their appearance. , each of these horses is a Northland horse in excellent condition.
"Brother, how did you sell this horse?" Shen Tang walked around and looked at the horse!
When Na Yazi saw someone speaking, he responded slowly, "Sir, which one do you want?"
"What if we buy all ten horses?" Shen Tang asked.
"Oh?" Yazi's face finally showed a bit of surprise. However, then, Yazi grinned and said: "If you buy one or two horses, then it is ten taels per horse. If you need more than five horses, Then we need twenty taels per horse. If there are more than ten horses, then it will be thirty taels!"
Shen Tang couldn't help but be stunned by Yazi's quotation. He had always heard that the more he bought, the cheaper it would be. This was the first time he heard that the more he bought, the more expensive the price would be.
However, it only took a moment for Shen Tang to reflect.
Being able to sell horses in Qinyang City naturally has a deep connection with the Jin people. Presumably, the Jin people hope to exchange the horses for gold and silver, but they are also worried that these horses will be transported to the North in large quantities or for the rebels. Used. Therefore, I thought of such a strange way.
Those gold people should not worry about whether there will be people buying separately. If they buy three or five horses at a time, even if they are really from the same force, it won't hurt. But if many people suddenly buy them in a short period of time, Ma, that Jin man will definitely pursue it secretly!
"What if we buy a hundred horses?" Shen Tang asked calmly.
Yazi was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes looked up and down at Shen Tang, "Who is your guest?"
Shen Tang sneered when he heard this, "What? You still need to find out where I live to complete your business?"
Na Yazi was not annoyed at all when he saw this, he just smiled disdainfully, and then said lightly, "Of course this is not necessary, but if the guest wants to purchase more than a hundred horses, he will need a hundred taels of silver per horse!
