There are two markets in the east and west of Kyoto, selling a wide variety of goods. It is considered the largest market near Gyeonggi and even in the entire Jingguo.
Of course, in addition to the rows of shops and endless stalls on the streets, there are often some strange things.
For example, a chicken with three legs, a bird without legs, a stone man with writing on its body, a talking fox, etc...
Of course, now the court does not allow foxes to speak, nor does it allow people to dig stone figures from the river, but there are still people who spread a white cloth in a corner of the street and sell some rare and antiques that are not authentic or fake. There are many rich people in Kyoto.
, there are also wealthy people who are interested in these.
Kyoto Saiichi.
After the market opens at dawn, the shouting will continue until the market is closed under curfew.
"A glass statue consecrated by Master Tanyin, five taels of silver each..."
"The chair that His Highness Prince Jing sat on is sold for a hundred taels..."
"I'm selling knives. The treasured sword passed down from our ancestors. It can be used to cut copper, chop iron, cut gold and cut jade. The original price was 10,000 taels, but now it only sells for 5,000 taels. It only sells for 5,000 taels..."
…
Everything is sold on the streets of Kyoto. A while ago, I saw someone selling underwear worn by His Highness King Kei. It was later confirmed that those were not worn by King Kei. The person who sold them was also imprisoned for fraud...
Sometimes the common people would gather around to watch the fun, and see what was special about the chair His Highness King Jing sat on, whether the Buddha statue that Master Tanyin had consecrated would shine, whether the ancestral sword was as sharp as clay, etc.
…
A man with a long knife on his waist walked up to the man selling the knife and asked: "Is your knife really as good as you say?"
The man smiled and said, "A treasured sword is a treasured sword. If I lie to you in front of everyone, I will give you five thousand taels of silver for free..."
The man laughed when he heard this, pulled out the long knife from his waist, and said: "This knife of mine is just an ordinary thing. Come and try it..."
The man also took out the sword in his hand, handed it to him, and said, "Try it yourself..."
The man looked at him and suddenly said warily: "If I cut off this knife, you won't let me pay for it, right?"
"How could it be..." The man shook his head, pointed to the people watching, and said: "Today everyone is here to bear witness. If the sword passed down by my family is cut off by this brother, he does not need to compensate..."
Seeing this, the man stopped trying to shirk the blame. He held two knives in each hand and slashed at each other.
Clang!
After a sound of gold and iron clashing, the knife he brought was broken, but the man's family heirloom sword was not damaged at all.
He stared blankly at the broken blade on the ground, with a hint of pain on his face. Then he looked at the man and said, "How dare you sell weapons privately and break my family heirloom sword? I want to arrest you."
You see the official!"
Jingguo's control over weapons is extremely strict. It is illegal to sell weapons without the permission of the government. Of course, the management in this area has always been very loose, but if you look closely, this man's behavior of selling knives on the street has indeed violated the law.
The man looked at the big man who was stunned on the spot, and said: "It's okay if I don't arrest you, unless you give me this knife as compensation..."
…
The man selling the knife snatched the knife back, grabbed the man and beat him hard. Some of the onlookers stayed there to watch, while others shook their heads and left.
In recent days, there are many people selling ancestral swords and heirloom swords on the streets.
A few days ago, there were people selling Xueyin Kuangdao and peerless swords. They were all stunned after hearing too many stories in Goulan.
This man actually knows how to find shills to make people suffer, but his appetite is too big. Five thousand taels of silver would be worth it if it were a real magic weapon, but more than 90% of it may be just a clumsy scam.
Among the people who stayed, some couldn't help but come forward to verify. The man was quite generous. He seemed to be very confident in his family heirloom sword and would not reject anyone who came. He was full of confidence...
Gradually, people were surprised to find that this knife seemed really unusual.
When ordinary knives collide with it, they will either be broken in two or have a gaping hole. Although it cannot be said to cut iron like clay, it can really be regarded as a treasured sword...
This kind of magic weapon is very popular among people in the martial arts world. Many wealthy families in Kyoto also like to collect it...
In the crowd, a man who looked like a servant looked at the man and said, "Knife seller, take your knife and follow me..."
"Okay!" The man's face showed joy, he immediately put away his sword and followed the servant into a big house.
The onlookers knew that this man's knife was taken a fancy to...
These five thousand taels were a little easier to get...
When everyone dispersed, another voice came from the crowd.
"What kind of family heirloom sword? I haven't bought it yet, and you haven't seen it. Is that sword brand new..."
"Nonsense, this kind of magical weapon must have come from the hands of a master. How can you buy it in an ordinary store..."
"The newly opened shop in front is called Baijian Villa. It is said that the plaque was inscribed by His Majesty himself. You will know if you go and take a look..."
…
A new weapons store called "Sword Worship Villa" has been opened in Kyoto. All the weapons sold are magical weapons, and they are inscribed by His Majesty himself, so the credibility is guaranteed...
There is a big sign at the door of the store.
Quantity is limited, first come first served...
The swords and weapons in this shop are all top-notch magic weapons with great reputations, including peerless swords, hero swords, fire lin swords, snow drinking knives...
Someone came here in admiration and used a random knife in the palace to chop against a famous knife made by the master. As a result, the famous knife was chipped, but the other one was intact...
As soon as this incident came out, the whole of Beijing was in an uproar.
In just a few days, the name "Sword Worship Villa" spread throughout Kyoto.
Goulan's story says that the Sword Worship Villa possesses the world's best sword-making techniques and can create weapons that can cut through iron as well as clay...
I thought this was just a fabricated story, but now it seems that this story is not entirely a story...
For a time, countless powerful officials who like to collect rare and rare treasures swarmed in, and the martial arts people who yearned to own a peerless magic weapon couldn't sit still. It is said that even the current His Majesty has bought several...
In less than three days, the weapons at Baijian Villa were sold out.
Even so, there is still an endless stream of people coming to inquire every day.
In Kyoto, when the threshold of "Sword Worship Villa" was about to be broken through, in the distant Shuzhou, a land of chaos, Li Yi was peeling apples for Zui Mo.
Just use an ordinary knife to peel apples. Peeling apples with a peerless sword is too high-profile and can easily hurt your hands. After peeling the apples, I originally wanted to feed her myself, but Ruoqing and Ruyi happened to go in, and he was kicked out.
.
Li Yi feels that he is not very popular now. Sometimes Ruyi sleeps with Zui Mo, sometimes Ruoqing sleeps with Zui Mo, and sometimes the three of them sleep together. It seems that only he is superfluous.
Whatever is superfluous is superfluous. Family harmony is much better than a fire in the harem. What else is he dissatisfied with?
Li Yi took a bite of the apple, walked back to the room, and picked up a document.
Although they are now able to mass-produce what the world considers to be magical weapons, they have too many people under their command, and the supply will continue to exceed demand for a long time.
Of course, good things must be equipped for your own people first. Except for the batch transported to Kyoto, they have not flowed out yet.
Li Xuan wrote a letter two days ago saying that a hundred highly skilled blacksmiths are already on the way. There were so many people who signed up that he even conducted a selection test and selected the best one hundred and sent them over.
Li Yi wanted these blacksmiths not only to make swords, but they would definitely be much better than these laymen in smelting and forging. He also expected them to take a big step from theory to practice and come up with something more practical.
.
After eating half of the apple, he looked up and saw Lao Fang coming from a distance. His face was a little ugly. He looked at Li Yi and said, "Uncle, Wu Guo, there is news from Wu Guo..."
