In the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, the capital of Yu Kingdom.

"So did you buy a mask?" A woman yelled at her husband: "Have you not heard? Wearing a mask can prevent the plague."

She held the child in one hand and pinched her husband's ear: "It's a good New Year, if you get sick because you didn't buy a mask, and the whole year is not good, and the start of next year is not good, I will kill you. you."

Someone next to him couldn't stand it anymore and said with a smile: "If you kill him, you will have no husband, and your child will no longer have a father."

The woman was very sturdy, and she knew that the people around her were joking. She didn't look annoyed, but smiled and said, "I'll kill him, I'll find another husband, and then find a father for the child."

The people around laughed, and some people from other countries who just came to the capital did not understand: "How can a man be so submissive as a woman like this, it really goes against the attitude of a man."

Hearing this, the people around laughing looked at him strangely, and said: "One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, we women of Yu are like this, the men of Yu can bear it, but we will not let you suffer. , allow you to speak here?"

The person who said it was a little embarrassed, so he turned around, stopped talking, and said to the shopkeeper who sold masks: "I want to buy a mask for 10 taels of silver."

As soon as the shopkeeper heard the price, he knew that it was a fat sheep that could be slaughtered, and he could explain a thing or two to him: "The guest officer doesn't know anything, this woman and man live in the nearby alley, and they have been together since childhood. The childhood sweetheart, the woman has a bigger temper, but she has a good heart. The reason why she was so angry when she heard that her husband did not buy a mask is because the plague in Jin is so bad, her husband is a medical student and wants to go to Jin to see."

"How can this be done? If I go there, I might die, so I watch people closely and ask him to buy a mask. He didn't go home for a long time, so he was worried that he would go to Jin without permission, so he came to see me. ."

When I saw it, I found that my husband didn't come home for a long time. He was squatting in front of his door watching people play chess, and he was even more angry.

Hearing this, the man said, "So that's the case. Doctor Yu's retrograde this time is already well-known in the six kingdoms, and after so long, it's almost time to come to the plague, but there's no need to go."

At this time, the shopkeeper had already installed the mask for it and asked, "Although Her Royal Highness has ordered us to take more precautions and wear more masks, but now the plague has not come to Yu Kingdom, so we usually don't wear them. Yes, customers buy so many back, I'm afraid it will be useless."

And this mask is not cheap. It is superimposed layer by layer with gauze. Although 12 taels of silver are a lot, there are not many masks that can be bought.

The man said: "After the new year, we should go back, buy more masks to use on the road, and feel at ease."

The shopkeeper didn't recognize which country's accent he was, so he asked, "Where is the guest official?"

The man paused and said, "Jin people."

The shopkeeper: "Oh, then you can buy a little more and be prepared.

The man thanked the shopkeeper and went back and said to the people who were with him, "I saw another doctor from Yu who wanted to go to Jinzhou today."

His friend sat on the kang and said, "Doctor Yu has nothing to say, each of us Jin people should thank them for the rest of their lives."

After saying this, he began to look at the things that the two of them had prepared for the return trip.

It is rumored that alcohol can be disinfected and must be bought, as well as masks. Except for the masks, it was the medicines that were queuing up a few days ago. Now medicines are scarce resources. As long as they are in the Wanmin Medical Center, they will be looted by everyone.

Shanxi merchants inspected and said: "If you want me to say, we should not grab medicine here in Kyoto, everything here is expensive, and everything is difficult to grab, but the same thing, Jizhou City, or other In a small place, as long as there is Wanmin Medical Center, wouldn’t it be better for us to buy from these medical centers?”

His companion smiled and said: "So you are a person who doesn't turn your head. You also said that these places are small places. Can the things in small places be so complete? Many medicines are only available to the people of Kyoto. The hospital has it, other places don’t have it.”

He sighed: "So, let's do business and come to the capital of Yu Kingdom."

Shanxi merchants were said to have lost their temper, and said: "You are right, we will go out for a walk tomorrow, take advantage of Yu Kingdom's approaching Chinese New Year, and discounts everywhere, so we will buy everything we want to buy, and then go back. We've been out for a long time, to tell you the truth, I'm feeling a little homesick."

It's really hard for them to become merchants this year. Not to mention other things, a plague turned the entire Jin state into a dead city, no merchants dared to go there, and countless people began to move to the Yu state.

But this year, the Yu Kingdom was very strict with outsiders. Before entering the Yu Kingdom, they had to stop outside the city of Xizhou for seven days. During these seven days, they had to bring their own food and food, which was another expense.

Therefore, it is very inconvenient to do business this year. If you come to Yu Kingdom once, it will not be worth it if you don't buy enough money to go back.

So the two went for a walk the next day.

Visit the Foreign Trade City. Many things here are specially aimed at these merchants. It is indeed cheaper to buy things in large quantities here than in other places.

There is also a name here, called Wholesale City.

The two entered the Foreign Trade City and began to pick and choose. Today, they don't buy the expensive ones, they just buy cheap little things.

This kind of thing is good to turn over the price, and the quantity is large, and the thing is small, and it hardly takes up space on the carriage.

But today the shopkeeper who was selling these little things was obviously absent-minded, and the Shanxi merchants asked, "What's wrong with you? But you're not feeling well?"

The shopkeeper returned to his senses and said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine, but the capital will be moved soon. We will have to change our name in the future, and it won't count as Kyoto. What good policies will there be in the future? I guess. It won't be given to us anymore, so I'm a little worried and don't know what to do."

Whether to move with Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess or to stay here is a difficult decision to make.

Shanxi merchants said: "Move the capital? When did you say the capital was moved? Why didn't I know?"

The shopkeeper took out the newspaper and said, "Look, it was published this morning."

The Shan merchants just came to the Yu Kingdom, and they didn't have the habit of reading newspapers, so they didn't know. At this time, I took a look at the newspaper and found that it really wrote about the current development of the Yu Kingdom, and that it needed to move to another location in order to better manage the country.

However, this new Kyoto has not yet been determined, and it will be decided at the March meeting of the people next year.

Then look at the last signature of this message: Crown Princess Zheqing.

Shanxi merchants: "So it is, it seems that in the future, this newspaper will also be bought frequently."

And the characters above are all Yu characters. Shanxi merchants have only recently learned these characters, and they are stumbling, but it does not affect his understanding of the meaning.

As a result, the shopkeepers are not attentive when selling things, and they are not attentive when buying things.

The shopkeepers want to move along. Before they want to go back, they will inquire with the officials of the Yu Kingdom to see which state Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess prefers. When they go back this time, they can just take the lead. In the state, buy some land, open a shop, and do some business.

There is no need to be like the current situation, because the business is slowed down by Chu, Qin and Shang, and in the end, there is no place for them at all.

So I didn't rush to buy things, and I didn't rush to go back. I just started looking for relationships.

What they can think of, other people can naturally think of it, so there is a trend of "connected households" in Kyoto, not only people outside hope that they can get the news in advance, even the people of Yu country, also want to You can have a "head start".

In this atmosphere, the few people on the Qunying Book who can come out to socialize have been busier this year. Everyone has a wine bureau, and everyone has to be asked about moving the capital at the wine bureau.

Sun Xiang became impatient and began to refuse to welcome guests.

Speaking of Luo Yusong, the Luo family had already decided to start moving from Yan State to Yu State. Originally, I was going to move to Kyoto, but this year's relocation of the capital is quite surprising.

So I wrote back and asked to wait for the notice, and told me not to move at will. After all, Luo Yusong is also attracting attention now. If his parents and family moved to another state, many people would wonder if they got the news. relocated.

Anyway, this year's Kyoto became lively in an instant, and no matter where you went, there were people discussing this. However, no one objected. After all, the state of Lu had already been conquered. If the capital was not moved again, then a large Xianlu would be difficult to govern.

Some people even suggested that they should simply move directly to the Western State.

why?

Because what if the state of Chu is also taken down next year?

At that time, the move was far away from Chu State, so wouldn't it be necessary to move the capital again? It's better to move directly to the border.

"Today's border is tomorrow's center."

As soon as this theory came out, it was praised and supported by everyone. No one wants to move the capital again. I hope that the emperor and His Royal Highnesses will move to Xizhou directly, and someone will tell them clearly that we are going to beat you.

The royal father and daughter, who were being discussed by everyone, were sitting in the conservatory reading letters.

This letter came from Qin and Yan. The two countries have said a lot of polite words, the main purpose is to borrow food.

Emperor Yu asked Zhe Qing with a smile, "Can you borrow it?"

Zhe Qing shook his head resolutely and said, "If you don't borrow it, you don't have any more. Where can you lend them food? Since the Kingdom of Lu was taken down, the food we hoarded as a country is now double the consumption, and my daughter is afraid that it will suddenly come out. What happened, I ran out of food."

Today's Lord Tian is not as smooth as in the past few years. This year's severe drought may be followed by floods next year. Year after year, it is not that such continuous natural disasters have occurred before.

Emperor Yu found out that Zhe Qing's problem of instigating is getting more and more serious. He smiled and said: "This severe drought, the disaster... How do you say that sentence, the affected area is right? The one with the smallest affected area is our country Yu. If we are all struggling and want to come to other countries, our life will be too long. It won't be better."

He said this not because he wanted to borrow food—for Emperor Yu, Chu and other countries had better starve to death a group of people, and he would have no pressure when he took over in the future.

"After the catastrophe, there must be great chaos. It depends on the war in the next few months. Lending them food is equivalent to no return."

Zhe Qing said: "So, with such a simple truth, why are they writing letters?"

Emperor Yu: "You forgot, you have a good reputation outside."

And with Yan Huang... but there is cooperation.

Zhe Qing sneered: "What if there is cooperation? If there is cooperation, they will ask me to give them food? Think of the beauty. If you have the ability, break up and beat me."

Emperor Yu: "..."

How could he learn to look like a rogue at such a young age, but... um, he is quite imposing.

He put this matter aside and wrote two rejection letters, in which he pointed out that his food was gone, and he was willing to buy food from the two countries with other things. If they were willing to pay, he would be willing to pay any price.

Zhe Qing read the letter and felt that Emperor Yu was cunning and cunning, and now he was becoming more shameless, so he sent the letter out with a smile, then looked at the sky and sighed, "This thief, why doesn't it rain, if it doesn't rain, next year will really be I can't make it through."

You can prepare food for one year and food for two years, but you cannot prepare food for three years.

She frowned, but Emperor Yu smiled and said: "Why scold your adoptive father, you scold him, what should he do if he doesn't dote on you?"

Zhe Qing: "…"

As the saying goes, an old urchin is an old urchin, but now that Emperor Yu is getting older every year, he will make fun of her.

She thought about it for a while and said, "Father, as the saying goes, if the son is not filial, the father will chase after him with a broom."

"According to what you said, if I were this god's daughter, if I scolded her, she would strike at me with thunder, and it would rain down."

Emperor Yu has been loving watching dramas recently, and I would say this today, because in the drama I watched yesterday, Zheqing was described as a clever child since childhood. He loved to read again, so he went to the library in Tiangong, where he read a lot of books, and when he came back, he passed the books to them.

This is a new way of saying it. She was originally the daughter of the Jade Emperor, and changed into a daughter of the Emperor Yu, who was taken over as the righteous daughter of the Jade Emperor.

Of the two, Emperor Yu naturally liked the latter, and no one wanted to be an adoptive father.

He was about to say something with a smile, when he saw a sudden burst of thunder outside.

Then it rained heavily.

Emperor Yu: "..."

Zhe Qing: "…"

Emperor Yu laughed loudly and hurriedly asked Zhe Qing to say something nice to her adoptive father, "So as not to hack you."

Zhe Qing: "…"

But anyway, it's really raining.

It's finally raining!
