Chapter 237: Buying in the Elephant Shed

Even though Ding Du's contempt was extremely secret, Zhao Zhen could still see the disdain in his eyes and feel the rancid smell from his body. In Ding Du's eyes, the two sergeants were like two crushed ants, and

Or he was as insignificant as a dead dog on the roadside. This feeling made Zhao Zhen very unhappy.

He regards the life of the sergeant as a treasure, but in the eyes of civil servants, he is still a waste. Even if he is sacrificed, it doesn't matter. This kind of indifference to life is something Zhao Zhen can't do anything about. He has repeatedly improved the status of the warrior, but he forgot

A sergeant is also considered a member of the warrior class.

Even though the people of Tokyo City respect soldiers more and more, soldiers still have a lowly status in the hearts of officials.

In the final analysis, it was class that was responsible, but Zhao Zhen could not break this class because he himself was a member of the highest class in the Song Dynasty. As the emperor, he had the obligation to maintain the rule of the class. This was not the case for future generations.

, even in later generations there are distinctions between high and low, but in later generations they are more at work...

Zhao Zhen slowly frowned and left, thinking about how to make the various classes in the Song Dynasty more equal. This equality is relative rather than absolute.

Sancai looked at Zhao Zhen's frown and thought he was still worried about the explosion of the artillery. He approached in a low voice and said, "The officials don't have to be depressed. It's just that two sergeants died. Please pay attention next time. The Armament Department is our chief

The best generals in Song Dynasty will definitely be able to create what the officials want."

"Only two sergeants died?!" Zhao Zhen's voice rose an octave in vain, pointing at Sancai's nose and said: "Do you know that these two sergeants are veterans who participated in the Western Expedition? Do you know

Knowing how much human and financial resources the imperial court spent on cultivating them, do you know that they also have parents, old and young at home? Is this a simple two lives? This is two or more families. This is our loss to the Song Dynasty!

"

The hand that grabbed Sancai's collar was so tight that he couldn't breathe. Sancai could only beg for mercy: "The official sage... I said the wrong thing..."

Helplessly letting go of Sancai, Zhao Zhen looked back and said to Peng Qi: "Double the pension for their family. If there are suitable people in the family, they will be allowed to join the army. If not, they will be sent to the Queen's factory. Finally, there will be

Have a mouthful of food."

Peng Qi suddenly saluted and said: "The officials are merciful, this is not just making a living, it's like falling into a lucky nest!"

The personal guards following Zhao Zhen silently saluted the officials who respected them. This was not a daily courtesy but a move from the heart. In the eyes of the civil officials, their lives were worthless, not even worth mentioning, if not for it.

There was so much commotion that the officials came in person, fearing that the deaths of the two sergeants would be covered up.

Zhao Zhen did not return to the palace. It was a rare occasion for him to come out. He planned to have a good walk around Tokyo. He had not enjoyed the prosperity of Nanmen Street for a long time. The emperor was not a person who did not eat the fireworks of the world. On the contrary, the emperor who was entangled in political affairs should be fine.

Take time to relax and relieve your daily fatigue.

Zhao Zhen felt that he would relax when he saw the various aspects of life in Tokyo, and an incomparable sense of accomplishment surged in his heart. This is his city, his country. He gave them laughter and laughter, and he also gave them

Parting in life and death.

Walking on the flat concrete road, ignoring Sancai's complaints, why does the emperor have to walk in the middle of the road? Since he has made his own decision to kneel, then even the emperor must abide by it, otherwise what prestige does the emperor's words have?

Besides, it’s just a private visit incognito. Is it necessary to make a big fanfare? Doesn’t this tell others that the emperor is coming? Zhao Zhen is very disgusted with this kind of behavior of using airs when nothing happens. Especially some officials like to sound the gong to clear the way, for fear that others will not notice.

The emblem on his car.

The familiar Liziwa City was right in front of him. Zhao Zhen recalled the way Cai Boqi held the pillar of the elephant shed to watch the female drama. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly. At the same time, his move also attracted the attention of Xiao Si at the door. Xiao Si

The person in front of me must be a big money owner, and the guard quietly following behind him may be the yamen of some house!

He quickly stepped forward and greeted: "This Yameni, please pay attention. We have the most beautiful female actors in Tokyo here, all young ladies!"

Peng Qi, who was following Zhao Zhen, sneered: "Little lady? How can a little lady come to your place!? I don't know what kind of thing she is. She wants to trick our Yameni into having her hair tied. Are you worthy of it?"

Sancai pinched his fingers tightly and wandered back and forth anxiously, fearing that Zhao Zhen would enter the elephant shed and look at him like an ant on a hot pot. Zhao Zhen couldn't help but smile. It was okay for the emperor to watch a female show in the elephant shed.

Taizu did it back then, and it was passed down as a legend and guided the fashion...

But Taizu was Taizu, and if he went in to watch a female opera, he would probably be overwhelmed by the memorials from the courtiers. As an emperor, there is nothing more attractive to courtiers to attend than this.

What Sancai is even more worried about is that if the officials take a fancy to a certain female actor, Long Yan's joy will turn upside down. This is a big deal. All women who have been favored by the emperor will be recorded in the palace records. What if this woman becomes pregnant?

, it’s even more difficult... Why don’t the two ladies in the palace kill him?

He hurriedly led the way: "Inside the Yamen, in front is the Daxiangguo Temple. Today there is a transaction with the Wan surname!"

Xiaosi saw Peng Qi and Sancai's appearance and sneered: "What's the Wan surname's deal? We have a shopping club in Wazi that is as good as the Wan surname's deal. All good things can be bought at the shopping club.

Nowadays, if anyone from a wealthy family goes to do business with the surname Wan, it is all for the common people."

Purchasing is a popular way of buying and selling in the Song Dynasty. In the final analysis, it is a kind of gambling behavior. Everyone can participate in the Purchasing, ranging from clothes and dolls to carriages, horses and houses.

This is one of the most popular ways of buying and selling among the people, and is very popular among Song people who are addicted to gambling.

Zhao Zhen got excited and took out a golden melon seed from his cuff and asked: "What's the best way to buy it?"

Xiaosi's eyes lit up, and he rolled it into his sleeve without any trace and weighed it. He ignored the glances of Sancai and Peng Qi, and explained with a smile: "It's simple, that is, when a merchant offers the goods, the one with the highest price gets it, but sometimes the price

It will exceed the value of the product, and you will consider yourself unlucky!"

This method is actually an auction! Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up and he said: "This is really interesting. Whether it's a loss or a profit, both sides are happy with it."

Xiao Si raised his thumb and said, "The Yameni is really knowledgeable. The key to this buying and selling party is your love and my willingness!"

Zhao Zhen smiled and said to Sancai: "Let's go in and have a look!"

Seeing that the official had made up his mind, Sancai could only smile bitterly and said: "As long as you are happy, Peng Qi will keep an eye on it, and there won't be any mistakes!"

Peng Qi was angry with Sancai and said in a depressed tone: "You want me to be so loud? I don't know how I led the way, but you actually let the officials come to a place like this!"

Sancai jumped three feet high and shouted: "You still have the nerve to criticize me?" Then he whispered: "Didn't you bring the Guan family and Cai Boqi here back then? Do you think I don't know anything?! After returning to the palace

We must explain it in front of the empress!"

Peng Qilao's face turned red: "If you dare to say this, the first person who won't be able to spare you will be the officials!"

These words choked Sancai so much that he immediately said: "Then don't tell anyone. The man in the middle palace is not in a good mood recently. If something bad happens, he will lose his skin. You know his methods."
