Chapter two hundred and sixty-three

This winter, Yanmen is full of joy.

Ten salt and iron ore distributed in various places have finally begun to produce.

Ten restaurants have opened, and ten different businesses have also set up their own salt and pig iron blocks, and have begun to open special stores in various counties to sell them.

The business has long stated that it will conduct regular and irregular inspections of these businesses, and that all kinds of illegal and disorderly violations, disrupt market behaviors, or produce fine wine, food, salt, pig iron, etc. that are of poor quality, will be taken back.

No matter how much awe these business travelers and families are in respect of this regulation, when the business just opened, they always try their best to make some good things and win a good start.

So, for these days, not everyone can afford to go to restaurants, but pig iron is indispensable for building agricultural tools and daily necessities, and salt is indispensable for cooking. These two things are much better quality than before, but the price is even lower, which makes the people very happy.

They were happy that no matter how much profit the merchants kept, their business was very prosperous. They made more money and made less money. They were always making money, so they were in a bad mood.

Liu He also received the first real commercial tax, which was only hundreds of thousands of yuan, but was also a good start. He had agreed with everyone that the Northern Expedition would be after the spring of next year. Now that Yanmen is in such a situation, he has no worries.

But this is not the case that makes Liu He the most happy.

Zhang Yong and Zhu Ye got married, Guan Yu and Cheng Liang became fathers, and both of them welcomed their first son.

Liu He named the two children Guan Ping and Cheng Yang respectively.

On this day, the full moon banquet for the two children and the two-year-old wedding banquet for Liu Zheng were placed on the same day, which can be regarded as the engagement banquet for Liu Zheng and Zhen Mi.

Of course, everyone must drink some drinks in this kind of day.

Liu He announced that he would add food to the entire army, and dozens of civil and military officials under his command, including Zhang Ding, Su Shuang, Zhen Yi and others, also had a great time in the prefect's mansion.

The night banquet lasted until late at night, and finally Liu He explained that there was still government and military affairs handling on Sunday, so he should not get drunk, so everyone dispersed.

However, Cheng Liang and Zhu Ye quit.

Liu He was extremely strict in his military administration, and now there is not enough food and grass, so there are very limited people who can make wine, so even senior officers like them can't drink once a month.

These two guys took advantage of the alcohol to pluck up their courage, secretly hid a few jars of wine, and used the excuse to inspect the city defense, and ran to the city tower to continue drinking.

"Hehe, Lao Wu, my brother said that after the beginning of the New Year, we will send troops to the northern expedition. Then there will be no good days now. I will have to get drunk before I can stop."

Cheng Liang drank so much that even his beard was covered with wine. He was too lazy to apply it, so he just smashed his mouth and said while drinking.

"Third brother, among the five brothers, the one who can yell the most is you, no matter how whining, it's so rude, but when you drink, well... you are the only one who is my Zhu Ye's opponent, haha! Come on, let's do a bowl!"

Zhu Ye's bronze face has turned pale red at this time.

Cheng Liang was half-smiling and half-angry after hearing this.

"How do you guys say? I'm your brother! But don't say that, you're really fucking right. We are not as good as our elder brother when it comes to literature and martial arts. But when you drink, hey, he's not as good as us."

Cheng Liang picked up a large pottery bowl and drank the wine inside in two or three mouthfuls.

At this time, a team of fully armed patrol soldiers walked past the city tower. When they saw Cheng Liang and Zhu Ye, they couldn't help but tease him.

"Ah, the two generals are newly married. In just a few days, why did you rush to the city tower to drink with your wife?"

"Haha, it seems that the two new generals of our Anmin Army are very good at martial arts. Even our mighty General Cheng and General Zhu are not opponents, they are amazing."

Although Liu He and others have strict training and strict military discipline, they usually share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. Therefore, they have a very close relationship in private. The soldiers joked so much that the two of them were not angry.

"Go and go, what do you know, you will be talking nonsense. If you dare to spread gossip, let's see if we don't give you some small shoes to wear."

Cheng Liang casually said "threatening" and the team of soldiers didn't take it seriously. They smiled and walked away.

"Oh, third brother, you drink it first. I'm anxious. It's convenient to go down the city tower."

Zhu Ye suddenly stood up with a little confused expression.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, you kid is just drinking so much, you're anxious? It seems that the newlyweds are so hard that you kid is going to be troubled. Let me ask a doctor to show you tomorrow, my third brother."

"Go to yours, just take care of yourself."

Zhu Ye threw down a sentence, ran down the city tower in two steps at a time.

He trotted all the way to a corner under the city tower, unbuttoned his belt, and spilled wildly.

"Huh... it feels so comfortable..."

After a long time, he shook his body, lifted his pants and prepared to leave.

However, a sudden sound came from his ears, which made him instinctively choose to stop.

"Old Chen, are you sure the news is correct?"

"Don't worry, I've been squatting outside the prefect's house. I watched them drink for two hours before leaving. They couldn't walk steadily. Even if they weren't drunk, I'm afraid it would be almost the same."

"Well, this is a god-given opportunity! I will go back and report the news to General Guo immediately. The Yinguan City has developed very richly these days. I think it is almost the same as Jinyang City. This is enough for us to make a lot of money!"

"Okay, please send the signal quickly. Although the patrol soldiers on the city tower did not relax, the dragons had no heads and it was midnight. As long as the general seized this opportunity, he would definitely gain a lot! You leave first, and later, my brothers and I and I will find a way to open the city gate."

Both voices seemed to be deliberately lowering their voices and said it. A few simple words drove Zhu Ye's drunkenness cleanly on the spot!

"Oh no, someone wants to attack the city at night!"

Zhu Ye looked around and found that the sound was coming from a broken wooden house next to him.

There was a sound of footsteps in the room, and it was obvious that someone wanted to come out.

Zhu Ye was about to rush up and arrest him, but then he thought about it, but stopped the impulse and hid in the darkness beside him.

I saw a figure quietly walking out of the broken house, looking around, then lowered his head and quickly left.

After a while, another person walked out of it.

Zhu Ye followed secretly. The man passed through several alleys through the broken house and finally came to an inconspicuous small shop in the city.

The man knocked on the door in a specific order, and then the store door opened and the man walked in.

Zhu Ye watched this scene from a corner not far away, but was filled with joy.

"Haha, it's my good deeds! This is really a credit that fell from the sky!"

As the saying goes, "a skilled and brave man", Zhu Ye is very confident in his martial arts. Although he did not carry a double hammer with him at this time, he also drew out his sword and rushed directly to the door of the shop.

"Let me open it!"

He kicked the store open with a big kick.

A few people rushed out of the room.

"What's going on! Who dares to make trouble in the middle of the night? Could it be that it's a robbery? Are you not afraid of the patrol guards!"

Zhu Ye smiled angry at them: "Haha, a few spies have the attitude to say this. I am Zhu Ye, one of the commanders of Anmin Army. You won't surrender!"

The people were obviously surprised and took a few steps back. Although Zhu Ye couldn't see their faces, he could still imagine how shocked their expressions were.

"How...how is it possible! Does General Zhu have any misunderstandings..."

Zhu Ye was too lazy to talk nonsense to them, so he killed him directly.

"No matter what misunderstandings you are, please arrest you before talking about it!"

Seeing that these people could not explain, they pulled out weapons from the shelves beside them.

"Everyone goes side by side. He is alone, and we eight of us don't believe that we can't beat him!"
