Uncle Zhu's eyes widened: "Ah, what Brother Yu said is true. General Tan, you really brought troops from Wuling, including these Dongman warriors."
Tan Zhi nodded: "Yes, they are also the people of the Jin Dynasty. They even volunteered to come out of the mountains and join the army to serve the country. For more than a year, I have been fighting side by side with them in Wuling. Now the demon thieves are in Jiankang After suffering a defeat, they were forced to return to retreat, but they still had many members. After returning to the army, the first one to attack was our Jingzhou, which is Jiangling City. Therefore, Governor Liu traveled to various places in Jingzhou and asked the garrison generals to lead the troops. To return reinforcements, it is for this reason that I appear here, and there are also these Dongman warriors in my army."
Uncle Zhu nodded repeatedly this time and said: "I misunderstood, I misunderstood. These military and national events are indeed not known to ordinary people like us. I thought they were monsters and thieves, and those barbarians also took the opportunity to respond." Woolen cloth."
Yu San smiled and said: "Uncle Zhu, I just said that they are our troops of the Jin Army. You are overthinking it. I think it is better to donate these bamboo mats of yours to the military. These foreign soldiers , I’m afraid I don’t have these bamboo mats. They often have to camp in the wild when fighting. Some bamboo mats can also avoid the pain of insect bites and ant bites. I don’t want these fish anymore, let’s give them to the soldiers to have a taste, Tan General, it’s really not easy for you to come so far to help us defend the city. We, the people of Jiangling, must show some respect.”
Tan Zhi said sternly: "Originally we were going to set off overnight to rush to the frontline military camp, but Governor Liu said that it would not be easy for the soldiers from Wuling to come, especially these Dong barbarians, who may only have the opportunity to come to Jiangling in this life. , after the war, I don’t know how many people will survive, so this afternoon, the market in Jiangling is not open to the people, and only Dongman warriors are allowed to come for one market. And I am here to maintain this market. The city order is to restrain the subordinates."
Yu San's eyes widened: "What? Let the Dongman warriors go to the market just once? Oh, no wonder they have to close the inner city gate and clear out all the customers."
Uncle Zhu's expression was a little unnatural: "This, this brings the Dongman soldiers to this market, uh, I have never dealt with them in my life, I'm afraid, I'm afraid they don't understand the language, right..."
Tan Zhi laughed: "Uncle Zhu, are you a little afraid of these alien races in the mountains?"
Uncle Zhu sighed: "I also know that they are brave warriors who kill thieves, but we people in Jingzhou have been fighting with these foreign races in the mountains for hundreds of years. According to the old people, they are all very fierce. They often come out of the mountains to burn, kill, and plunder. Many of my uncles also fought with them in the army when they were in Huanchu. It's okay to give them things, but if I have to face these people directly, I'm afraid... …”
At this point, Uncle Zhu gritted his teeth and said: "How about this, I don't want the things anymore, just leave them all here. Whatever these Dongman soldiers want, you can take it yourself, and I won't have anything to do with them, General Tan. Do you think this is okay?"
Their conversation attracted many nearby vendors to gather around. After listening to Uncle Zhu's words, many people nodded in agreement, and voices echoed around them: "General Tan, can you let us leave now?"
"That's right, I don't want the goods anymore. They should all be donated to the army. I have something to do at home. Can I take the first step?"
Tan Zhi listened to these voices calmly, and when the voices gradually became quieter, he smiled slightly and said: "It seems that the Jiangling elders are still a little afraid in their hearts, or they reject these Dongman soldiers. In other words, they do not regard them as human beings." One of our own."
Uncle Zhu's face turned slightly red: "That's not what I meant, General Tan, it's just us..."
Tan Zhi waved his hand: "I understand what everyone means. Uncle Zhu doesn't need to explain. I just want to say that these Dongman soldiers are not only foreigners, but also soldiers of our Jin Dynasty. They are subject to the military discipline of our country and France." Yes, they are not the bandits you heard about, or even barbarians. This time they came to the market under the orders of Governor Liu. They came to see our Jiangling market with their own eyes and see what they fought bloody for. What are the local customs and customs like? Is this how we treat these soldiers who come to protect us? Is this how we, the people of Jiangling, treat guests?"
Many people lowered their heads in shame, and Uncle Zhu also sighed: "We were confused for a moment, General Tan, I'm sorry, we will never say these words again. Please come now, Dongman soldiers, we will definitely be here They are warmly received here. Whatever they want or what they want to eat, they can just bring it to them and we guarantee they will greet them with a smile."
Tan Zhi waved his hand: "Uncle Zhu, you have misunderstood me. They are here to go to the market, not to take things randomly. The army has military discipline and cannot take the people's property casually, even a needle or a thread. No, the things they come here to see must be traded at market prices. How much you sell them to the people of Jiangling is the same price you sell them, there is no need to change."
Yu San's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "How is this possible? The soldiers in the army don't have much money. I'm afraid they can't afford the things we have here. Besides, even if they want to buy Things, if it were just edible fish like me, it would be okay. Many of the things here are to supplement household income, and there are even a lot of rouge and gouache used by women. Even if they buy them, they can’t take them away."
Tan Zhi laughed: "Everyone, Governor Liu has already thought carefully about these things. Each of them can buy no more than three things. Moreover, if you don't have any money, you can write a note and write down the name of the buyer, quantity and price. I Military officials will be arranged here to follow the records and stamp them with our military seal. With these IOUs, everyone can go to the governor's office to get money. And the things they bought but cannot take away will be kept in accordance with these IOUs. In the warehouse of Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, the soldiers will collect it after the battle. I guarantee that all the goods and food you brought today will be sold out and you will get the money! Everyone, you still welcome Dongman Are the soldiers coming to the market?"
All the vendors were overjoyed and kept raising their hands and saluting: "Welcome, you are so welcome. They are our gods of wealth. Everyone, please go back to your stalls and prepare to greet the guests." "
Soon, the crowd dispersed, everyone was at their stalls, shouting hard, and the market suddenly became lively.
