Chapter 505: Wish You Prosperous Business

Purple energy, auspicious clouds, rosy light, things that you have to carefully distinguish between true and false when reading in history books, appeared in front of you with your own eyes.

The tendency of the emperor and the new policies promulgated have become the most concerned things for the merchants and people coming and going.

But those miscellaneous things are also interesting to listen to.

Some people say that the emperor was the county lieutenant of the capital many years ago, and resigned because of his justice and uprightness and his inability to look at the official atmosphere of the previous dynasty. Some people say that he was the True Lord Lin's protector. Some people say that they saw him in the capital that year. Some people say that he was also the one who beheaded the Green Water Immortal and the Tuo Dragon King by the Wei Shui River that year. Others discussed the famous generals under Lord Luo and the wise prime minister, which sounded quite interesting.

The stall next to it was steaming, and the fragrance of tea and wheat was mixed with the fragrance of wine.

This is new.

In the fragrance of wine, the people around talked more and more vigorously. Lin Jue and others sat at the small table, holding morning tea and pancakes. Because it was related to themselves, they listened with great interest.

It's just that the two Daoists showed a look of aftertaste, while the three teenagers and girls opened their eyes with surprise. Even Zhang Ziyun didn't know the deeds of her master and uncle. Listening to it now, it was like re-knowing her master.

The fox turned into a girl had no expression, and didn't think there was anything good to listen to, just looking around, looking like she had ADHD.

Suddenly someone walked over, blocking the Daoist's sight.

With a bang, the last pot of meat porridge was placed in the center of the table, and the stall owner smiled and said to Lin Jue:

"The things the Daoist wants are all here!"

The words carried a heavy northern accent.

Lin Jue looked up and looked at him, seeing a dark face. He was curious in his heart, so he asked: "Stall owner, besides morning tea, you actually sell morning wine?"

"Sell! Sell!"

"Does anyone drink in the early morning?"

"The Daoist doesn't know! This wine doesn't have much strength. Drinking one bowl doesn't hit people. If you want a hot one in the morning, it's like people here boiling tea, adding things like dried plums and red dates, boiling it steaming and sweet. Drinking a bowl in the early morning, no matter how cold the weather is, you can immediately warm up! Those military masters in the north like to drink it, and they drink it when fighting! Drinking it gives you spirit and strength, and it's not easy to get sick!" The stall owner said.

"Sounds like this is a northern custom?"

"Exactly! It's cold in the north!"

"Is the foot a northerner?"

"The little one is from Longzhou. God doesn't give food to eat, plus war, no way, only to come out to beg for life. Previously followed the nobles to do military merchants, followed the celestial soldiers led by the emperor here, came here, the nobles prepared to set up shops in the capital, and also let us

come out to beg for food."

"So that's it..."

Lin Jue turned his head and looked, and found that many customers also felt novel, and there was hot wine on the table, and he couldn't help but think deeply.

Actually, contrary to what many people think, thinking that marching and fighting is a very serious matter, without those miscellaneous things.

Actually, it's not.

When the army marches outside, except for a few surprise attacks and special operations, there have been a large number of military merchants accompanying them since ancient times.

It can be said that in most cases, where there is an army, there are merchants.

Where the army camps, the merchants also camp next to them.

When encountering some generals who are kind and the fighting is not tight, they will also specially divide an area in the military camp for merchants, and officers and soldiers can go to consume.

One is because there are many people and there are business opportunities. Merchants are profit-oriented and will not ignore this opportunity. Second, because the army also has such needs, and sometimes the imperial court will issue decrees to recruit merchants, or attract merchants to accompany the army with preferential policies such as salt vouchers, to provide convenience and entertainment for the army, and sometimes even provide female services.

Both sides rushed to each other, which contributed to the huge group of military merchants, and even some of the top business firms in some dynasties made their fortune because of a huge war.

These merchants are also protected by their own army.

Therefore, with Lord Luo's victory, what entered the capital was not just Lord Luo, nor just the army and the northern nobles, but also northern merchants, civilians, cultural customs, and even regional aesthetics.

Therefore, every time a dynasty changes, it will lead to huge changes in social customs, because this is a huge fusion.

Previously, the capital did not have the habit of drinking morning wine, but now it does.

Previously, there were not so many northern merchants in the capital, but now there are.

The customs of the next dynasty will definitely be different from the previous dynasty, but only by going to see it in person can you know what it will evolve into.

"Give us two bowls, three bowls, forget it, since there is no strength, everyone will have one bowl."

"Okay!"

The new dynasty has come, just like wanting to see the capital for the first time, the new atmosphere has come, and you have to taste it for the first time, so as to tell future generations.

The wine was boiled in a large pot, and six bowls of morning wine were quickly served.

The wine liquid in the coarse bowl swayed, slightly thick.

The fragrance had already hit the nose first.

It was a little bit of wine, and a rich sweet fragrance. It looked like self-brewed wine. In addition to plums, red dates, and wolfberries, it also contained tremella, so this bowl of wine also became a little thick.

Holding the wine bowl, I already felt the temperature on it.

Lin Jue tasted it and felt it was good.

Sure enough, as the stall owner said, because it was boiled, the wine taste was lighter, and the added materials neutralized the miscellaneous taste in the wine, and it was sweet, like a dessert.

Turning his head, Junior Xiao Xiao Shimei was also nodding.

Lin Jue then said to the few little ones:

"Taste it."

The three little ones then picked up the wine bowl and drank with curious eyes.

The fox turned into a girl licked it twice, paused, narrowed her eyes, opened her eyes and glanced at the people around her, then picked up the wine bowl and poured it into her mouth.

Junior Xiao Xiao Shimei said: "I think it will be very suitable for the cold winter."

Lin Jue nodded: "The weather has been warmer recently."

Next to it, gulp gulp...

I don't know where this fox girl got such a big belly, she drank a bowl in two or three times.

"Daoist, are you full, how is it?"

"I haven't had breakfast for a long time, but I'm full of wine and food. Thank you for the stall owner's hospitality." Lin Jue got up and bowed to him, and said to Junior Xiao Xiao Shimei next to him, "Pay, Junior Xiao Xiao Shimei."

"Eh? Isn't Third Third Shixiong treating?"

"Where did I get the money?"

The stall owner standing next to him stiffened.

And heard a clear and thin cry from the side: "The fox has money! The fox has gold!"

"Who is the fox?"

"..."

Junior Xiao Xiao Shimei looked helpless, and had to reach her right hand into her sleeve and take out a money bag.

"How much money?"

The stall owner saw this and breathed a sigh of relief—

This was also not having breakfast for a long time and having no money. Just now he was really afraid that the two had no money and came to borrow this Daoist robe to bow to him and form a good relationship.

To say that he followed the army from the north, there were few soldiers who didn't pay, but it was strange to meet someone who ate for free here.

The stall owner hurriedly took out the abacus and calculated: "Morning tea is eight coins a bowl, six bowls are forty-eight, pancakes are two coins each, three are six, meat porridge is twenty coins a pot, morning wine is fifteen coins a bowl, hey, the two Daoists don't dislike it as expensive. Now that the war is over, there is a shortage of food and wine. The wine sold in the city is more expensive than in the past, not to mention that there are many things added in it, totaling one hundred and sixty-four coins."

This price is really not expensive.

The eight-coin morning tea is not clear soup and little water, and things are also put in it. It is also because their appetite is large that they want another pot of porridge, and other customers only use morning tea and pancakes to manage a meal.

Under the current price, selling coarse wine for fifteen coins a bowl is not expensive, not to mention that this wine has ingenuity and tastes quite good.

Just when Junior Xiao Xiao Shimei was counting money, she heard the stall owner say:

"However, the little one sees that you are all practitioners, and I have heard many stories about Daoists and True Lords along the way, and it is said that there is a True Lord Lin in the capital, who seems to be a Daoist and knows the current emperor. I will form a good relationship with the two Daoists and give a discount, just collect one hundred coins."

"Ah?"

Junior Xiao Xiao Shimei was surprised.

This is a big discount.

"Alas, no one is easy in this day and age. I'm afraid that monks don't have much incense offerings." The stall owner waved his hand, "If the Daoist feels sorry, the shop has just opened, just say a lucky word."

Lin Jue and Junior Xiao Xiao Shimei looked at each other and smiled.

They naturally saw that the stall owner felt they were embarrassed, but also saw his full kindness under his casual face.

Junior Xiao Xiao Shimei gave one hundred coins.

"The stall owner came from afar in the north, leaving his hometown, which is quite difficult. In this chaotic year, it is rare to have a person with such a heart as the stall owner. In this way, our senior brother and sister wish the stall owner prosperous business."

The Daoist smiled and bowed to him.

The stall owner was happy, and was about to bow, only to feel a breeze, and saw several Daoists and Daoist children suddenly gather thunder clouds under their feet. It was really thunder and lightning, and the wet wind hit their faces. Under the gaze of many surprised eyes, this thunder cloud carried them and flew away.

Some people were startled to stand up, some were scared to fall off the bench. When they rushed out of the small stall, the immortals had already gone far away.

The southern gods have given up, but the King of Yue is unwilling.

A few days after Lord Luo ascended the throne as emperor in the capital to stabilize the world, declare legitimacy, and seize the general trend of the world, the King of Yue also ascended the throne in the south city and set the country name as Yue.

Both sides issued manifestos to crusade against each other.

Not only accusing each other from the perspective of morality, but also picking faults in each other's identity and position, and then splashing dirty water on each other, it was a graceful and wonderful scolding war. They even picked faults in each other's small things. The King of Yue even moved out that he had treated Lord Luo to a meal when he rode a horse in Huizhou many years ago, to say that Lord Luo was unrighteous. Lord Luo also did not show mercy, directly saying that he had no opinion and was kidnapped by the officials and ministers around him and the powerful wife's family, so that the southern soldiers didn't have to sell their lives for him. Future generations read it from history, or they will feel absurd.

In the absurdity, Lord Luo sent many generals under his command, leading 150,000 troops, and began the southern expedition, opening the war of unification.

At the same time, major palaces and temples in the human world also began to change plaques and statues. The original Lord Tianweng Hall was changed to Zi Emperor

Hall, and the statues of the Great Emperor Zi Xu were moved to the center one after another.

Naturally, if you ask the Daoists in the palace, no one will say that in a round of heaven and earth, the gods in the sky and the human dynasty won and lost together and changed a wave. They will only say that the Great Emperor Zi Xu has fulfilled his merits, and because the emperor came from the north, he respected the Zi Emperor, so he ordered the world to respect the Zi Emperor. And Lord Tianweng also fulfilled his merits, or did not need incense offerings, or gave way to Zi Xu, or went to practice somewhere. In short, he retreated to the side for a very decent reason. If you believe him, you can also offer incense, but it is the Zi Emperor who is more effective.

The Daoist also started to accept apprentices in the deep mountains. ===== CHAPTER 506 =====

Naturally, if you were to ask the Daoist priests in the temples, none would say that amidst the great shift in the world's fortunes, the heavenly deities and the mortal dynasties together decided the winner and loser, resulting in a change of guard. They would only say that the Great Emperor Zi Xu had achieved complete merit, and because the Emperor came from the north and revered the Purple Emperor, he ordered the whole world to revere the Purple Emperor. As for Lord Lord Tianweng, he also achieved complete merit; perhaps he no longer needed incense offerings, or he yielded his position to the Great Emperor Zi Xu, or he went off to some place or other to cultivate in peace. In short, he retreated to the sidelines for a very respectable reason. If one believes in him, one may still offer incense, but the Purple Emperor is more efficacious and authoritative.

The Daoist priest also began to take on disciples deep in the mountains.
