Unlimited Supplies: Take the Space Supermarket To Support the Right Minister Chapter 182

  Chapter 182 Fighting Each Other

  Yu Xiaolian's eyes went straight when she saw Pearl.

   It was the first time for her to see such a round and big pearl.

  Seeing Yu Xiaolian's expression, Fu Zhihan knew that there was a way to barter.

   Immediately, she said that she has a box of such round pearls, about twenty pieces, but the other dozen or so are slightly smaller, and asked Yu Xiaolian, can she exchange that expensive perfume with a box of pearls?

   This pearl is worth a lot, right? Fu Zhihan actually has a box?

   Then he cried poor with her, saying that he had no money.

  Yu Xiaolian was speechless, she really didn't understand the world of the rich.

  Yu Xiaolian nodded immediately, "Yes, very capable."

  Although she is not familiar with the value of such a large pearl, she and Fu Zhihan have the same idea that if you like something, you should get it.

  Fu Zhihan immediately asked her servant to go back and fetch the pearl.

  When a small box of pearls was placed in front of Yu Xiaolian, Yu Xiaolian bartered with Fu Zhihan without hesitation.

  Although the pearls she brought back later were a bit smaller than the one in Fu Zhihan's hand, Yu Xiaolian still felt that it was worth it, and even felt that she had got Fu Zhihan's advantage.

  Yu Xiaolian said, wouldn't it be too bad for you to exchange a box of pearls for a bottle of perfume? I don't know the price of this pearl. What if a single pearl is worth a lot of money?

  Fu Zhihan said straightforwardly that she only needs to keep the biggest one.

  As for those small beads, she doesn't really like them, otherwise she wouldn't just throw them in the room.

Small? small?

Not small.

   At least in Yu Xiaolian's opinion, it's not small.

  The small beads that Fu Zhihan called were about the size of a thumbnail, and all of them were very round.

  Fu Zhihan was grand, so Yu Xiaolian couldn't be stingy, so she immediately gave the sweet-scented osmanthus perfume to Fu Zhihan.

   When Fu Zhihan was about to leave, Yu Xiaolian wrapped her another pack of fruit candies, two packs of cream rolls and a pack of chocolates.

  After sending Fu Zhihan away, Yu Xiaolian ran to the backyard of the stewed meat shop, told Sun and Yu Changhe that Jiang Lin would come tonight, and asked them to cook more decent dishes.

  Yu Changhe can also be said to have watched Jiang Lin grow up. He was very happy to hear that Jiang Lin would come.

   Mrs. Sun also felt a little like meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land, and said with a smile that she would cook a few more dishes by herself.

  Yu Xiaolian said, "I heard that there is a shortage of people for the war in the south. Except for famous scholars, every family must get a man of the right age. Just now I heard that someone on the street is rushing to Yashi to buy people!"

  Fearing that Sun Fengshou would be taken away by the conscripts, Mrs. Sun hurriedly said, "Then let's buy one as soon as possible, and hand it over to the conscripts. I'm afraid we won't be able to buy one if we go late."

  Yu Xiaolian shook her head, "I guess I can't buy a man of his age now."

   Those who are rushing to buy people are actually trying to save money.

   After all, buying a servant is only ten taels of silver. When the time comes to conscript, you can hand over the servant for military service.

   If there is no one, then you have to pay thirty taels for exemption from military service, which is not worthwhile.

  In the early years, when the imperial court enforced conscription, many people could not afford to pay for their military service, nor did they want to go to war to die.

  Many people hid in groups in the mountains in order to escape military service, and they would not go home until the captors left.

   There are also some people who even self-mutilate in order to avoid military service.

  Self-mutilation still has life, but if you go to the battlefield, you may even lose your life, and the common people will not be willing to fight for the court.

  When Jiang Lin came at night, Yu Xiaolian dragged her directly into the stewed meat shop.

   Mrs. Sun cooks in person and cooks a large table of dishes, eight dishes, six of which are meat dishes, and two vegetarian dishes.

  Yu Changhe poured Jiang Lin wine while asking how Jiang Orion was doing.

  Jiang Lin said, "Since my father joined the army, he has been with General Yu as a lieutenant general. Everything is fine."

   Mrs. Sun also raised her eyes to look at Jiang Lin. She hadn't seen him for more than a year, but Jiang Lin no longer had the childishness of the child king when he was in Hewan Village, and he was a little more mature and stable.

  Although Jiang Lin came in casual clothes, he came with a sword. Jiang Lin sat down to eat, and Xiao Huzi and Su Jingyue surrounded the sword Jiang Lin put on the next table, showing awe.

  Little Huzi asked Su Jingyue, "Do you think this sword has ever killed anyone?"

  Su Jingyue nodded affirmatively, "It should have been killed."

   "How can you tell?"

  Su Jingyue pointed at the hilt of the sword with his small hand, and said logically, "Look... the lines on the hilt of the sword have turned black. This should be caused by the blood coagulation and not being wiped in time."

  Little Huzi let out an ah, and then asked Su Jingyue, "Then how many people did you say this sword killed?"

  Su Jingyue shook his head, "I don't know. However, judging from the blood stains accumulated on the hilt, there should be a lot."

  Little Huzi weighed the sword with his hands, "It's so heavy!"

  Su Jingyue also weighed it curiously, and said, "It's okay."

  Little Huzi has never learned boxing kung fu, but Su Jingyue has learned it from his brother, and since he came to Los Angeles, he has not abandoned it, but will find time to practice for a while sooner or later.

   "Don't touch the guest's things!" Mrs. Sun dragged the two little ones away. This sword has killed many people. It is a murder weapon. If a child touches it, what if I have a nightmare while sleeping at night?

Jiang Lin took a sip of the wine and stuck out his tongue because of the heat. He had drank a lot of wine in the army this year, but he had never drank such a spicy wine. He quickly took a bite of vegetables to relieve himself .

   The food in the army is not good, and he rarely eats meat. Although he hangs out with the little general and can eat it a few times occasionally, it has never been so rich.

  Jiang Lin had a round belly and was very satisfied after eating this meal.

  After dinner, Jiang Lin talked about the war in the southern border.

   Opposing Yu Zhenwu's army is the army led by the female general Cao Chengtong of the Great Mongolian Kingdom.

  Speaking of Cao Chengtong, Jiang Lin had a hint of admiration in his eyes, and he kept praising Cao Chengtong as a heroine who is not inferior to a man.

  Although Cao Chengtong was their enemy, they lost the border town for a while, and Cao Chengtong led the army into the border town.

  At that time, General Yu once thought that the people in the border towns would be massacred or taken to the Great Mongolia as slaves.

   But things are not what they expected.

  Cao Chengtong did not order the massacre of the city, nor did he arrest the people and send them to Great Mongolia as slaves.

  The emperor's illness came and went repeatedly, with good times and bad times, and it was often one order at a time.

   It has become the norm to change orders from day to day.

  The princes all wanted to take part in pacifying the war in the southern border, so as to gain credit points with the emperor.

  For a while, the southern border was extremely lively. You said attack, but he said defend the city.

  General Yu was troubled by these princes, but there was nothing he could do about them.

  With the efforts of several princes, the army guarding the frontier was also divided into several forces, fighting each other.

  When people are united, Mount Tai moves.

  But their hearts were not in harmony, and their opinions were not in harmony. Naturally, Cao Chengtong took advantage of the victory to pursue them and took ten border cities in a row.
