Hey, I know this question.
The Qianhu breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "All Qianhu in the Ming Dynasty are under the jurisdiction of ten hundred households, with a total of 1,120 people."
Zhu Bai's eyes lit up: "Awesome, so many people?! I want troops!"
Qianhu's heart trembled and he whispered: "King Xiang, there are more than a thousand people. It's quite troublesome to gather together."
Zhu Bai thought for a moment and said, "That's right. Let's give you some time. It's the middle of the sixth hour. At noon, I will come to order some troops. Half an hour is enough for you to gather the soldiers."
Qianhu remained silent.
Zhu Bai took out the "I am here in person" sign in his arms and shook it.
Qianhu could only say: "I obey."
Zhu Bai secretly sneered: To be honest, according to Lao Zhu's troop garrison system, it is difficult not to have deserters.
He was very curious about how Suzhou Qianhu did it.
You'll find out later when you see these guards with your own eyes.
------
Then Zhu Bai went to the street.
There is a calligraphy and painting shop on the street.
With sharp eyes, Zhu Bai immediately saw the "Picture of Flat Rocks in the Distance" hanging in the center.
Tsk tsk tsk, I didn’t expect to see old friends when I got here.
Although I burned one piece, I don’t know how many more are left.
The name of Suzhou's "Calligraphy and Painting Counterfeiting Center" is not justified.
Zhu Bai walked towards the painting.
The shopkeeper hurriedly came up to greet him: "Young Master, you have such good eyesight. This is a masterpiece of the great Northern Song Dynasty painter Guo Xi in his later years. Guo Xi was good at painting landscapes, and in his later years he was even more ambitious and proficient. Even Zhao Xu, Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, loved his paintings and Wang Anshi very much. They all admire his paintings.”
Zhu Bai stared at the painting and stretched out his hand to Fugui.
Fugui hurriedly handed the magnifying glass to Zhu Bai.
When the shopkeeper saw that he was an expert and had special tools, he started to feel excited.
Zhu Bai followed what Yun Qi taught him and looked carefully with a magnifying glass. Tsk, it turned out to be a fake.
He asked the shopkeeper: "How much silver?"
Shopkeeper: "This is the treasure of our store. It won't cost you more than ten thousand taels of silver."
Zhu Bai nodded: "The price is very fair for Guo Xi's authentic work."
He took out the banknote from his pocket and shook it.
I actually caught a big water fish today! The rich second generation is so easy to deceive! !
The shopkeeper was overjoyed: "Okay. I'll wrap it up for you."
Zhu Bai seemed to have no intention of asking, "How many are there? I want them all."
The shopkeeper replied while busy: "There are eight more."
Then he suddenly realized that he had let slip, and quickly added: "I mean, the shop also has eight paintings by Guo Xi."
Zhu Bai was originally worried that the shopkeeper had been deceived and did not know that it was a fake.
Because this one is considered a very good imitation among the fakes. If it is placed in future generations, it will be very valuable.
Just this sentence made the shopkeeper test it out.
Zhu Bai didn't want to expose him, and smiled: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, I can't tell. Suzhou is really a place where dragons and crouching tigers are hidden. There are not many authentic paintings by Guo Xi, but your small shop actually has eight or nine."
The shopkeeper was very embarrassed: "Yes, the young master has given me a reward."
Zhu Bai: "Take them all out and let me see which of Guo Xi's paintings they are."
Shopkeeper: "Because they are too precious, I don't put them all in the store. How about you come back tomorrow?"
When the kid comes back tomorrow, he will say that he has sold everything.
Suddenly a man came in and said something in the shopkeeper's ear.
The shopkeeper looked solemn and cupped his hands to Zhu Bai: "Sir, I'm sorry. I have something urgent and I need to close the shop. Please go shopping elsewhere."
Zhu Bai thought he was looking for an excuse to get away and was too lazy to bother with him, so he walked out.
Only when they came out did they find that many shops were closing.
Even Zhang Yu murmured in his heart: What are you doing? Zhu Bai just exposed one shop selling counterfeit goods, there is no need to close down all the streets.
Zhu Bai smiled and saw that a pastry shop was about to close, so he hurriedly went up and said, "Hey, shopkeeper, don't worry, weigh some snacks for me before you leave."
Seeing that Zhu Bai was followed by so many people, the man must be a wealthy man, and he was not willing to let go of a good business, so he could only say in a hurry: "Okay. What do you want?"
Zhu Bai said: "Give me half a catty of the same."
The man was quick with his hands and feet and weighed a dozen pastries and wrapped them in one go: "It's twenty taels of silver in total, thank you very much."
Zhu Bai said: "Why don't you do business today?"
The man hurriedly moved the door panel and stuck it on the door frame, and said, "It's urgent."
Zhu Bai said: "When will the door open again?"
The man replied, "I don't know. Maybe tomorrow."
Zhang Yu and the others were even more surprised: they had never seen anyone doing business like this, and they didn’t know when the door would open.
Zhu Bai smiled, took a piece of cake in his hand, and looked at the plaque on the pastry shop: "Chen's Pastry Shop".
He ate while walking, and watched as he ate.
He would take a closer look at every shopkeeper who was closing the door.
After a while, except for the book and stationery shop opened by Zhu Bai, almost everyone on this street was closed.
Zhu Bai walked to his shop.
When the shopkeeper saw the big boss coming, he rushed out to greet him.
Zhu Bai raised his chin towards the closed shops and asked the shopkeeper: "What are these people going to do in a hurry?"
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed: he knew the reason, but he didn't dare to say it.
Because if he said so, Zhu Bai would definitely punish these people.
They are all from the countryside.
When the time comes Zhu Bai pats his butt and leaves, he will still stay here to be a human being.
Zhu Bai smiled: "Forget it, I won't embarrass you anymore."
It has nothing to do with him, just mind his own business.
Zhu Bai turned to Zhang Yu and the others and said, "Okay, there's nothing left to see. Let's go back and wait for the order of troops."
A beggar at the end of the street stretched out his hand to him: "Well, let's pass the time."
Zhu Bai gave him a bag of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
------
On the school field, under the midday sun, a thousand soldiers lined up.
Zhu Bai stood on the general stage and sighed: "Tsk, tsk, not bad, not bad, really spectacular."
Then he walked off.
Qianhu hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Highness."
Zhu Bai raised his eyebrows slightly: "Hey, sir, why are you stopping me? I want to take a closer look at our Ming Dynasty warriors."
Qianhu could only clench his fists and retreat.
As soon as Zhu Bai left, many people lowered their heads.
These people were thin and fair, completely different from the other dark and muscular guards.
It's just that Zhu Bai is short.
They lowered their heads and he could see them.
Some people turned their heads, some looked up at the sky, some stretched out their hands to touch their noses, and some yawned.
Zhu Bai shook his head: "Tsk, tsk, this generation of guards is not good. None of them can stand up well."
Qianhu felt that his self-esteem was deeply hurt, but he couldn't explain it, it was so painful.
Zhang Yu, who was born in the army, could not stand such soldiers. He took out his riding whip and shouted: "According to the Ming Dynasty's military discipline, anyone who does not stand still will be whipped ten times without asking the reason. I want to see who else is there." Don’t dare to stand tall with your head up and your chest out.”
Now everyone stood up straight immediately, and no one dared to move.
