The war in Youbei did not affect the lives of some people in the mainland of the Han Dynasty.

It's like a touching ballad, which makes all the listeners shed tears and move their faces. However, if you are far away, you can only see the singer's mouth opening and closing, but you can't hear what is being sung, or even the singer can't be seen, and

Why is there any emotion?

"I said, this batch of goods of yours, haha, it's impossible..." The middle-aged man in gray clothes shook his head and pointed at the lacquer box placed on the desk, "...Look, it's all broken.

So deep..."

The Han Dynasty liked to use lacquer boxes, but not all lacquer box boards were made of perfect materials. There must be some lacquer boxes whose boards were spliced ​​or repaired. Therefore, if the craftsmanship is not paid attention to, it is easy to form uneven or convex surfaces on the paint surface.

It's rupture.

This is a problem of craftsmanship, but it is also a problem of people.

But some people think it's not a problem.

"This... doesn't everyone have this? If you don't believe me, I'll go find the Wang family for you. They also have it! I'm not the only one like this..." The boss in green clothes said with a smile, "How about this on the table?

How about a few, if you don’t like them, I’ll change them for you..."

The man in gray clothes rolled his eyes, "These are the ones I randomly dug out of your batch of goods in the warehouse... You only exchanged these few, is it interesting? These are what the imperial court wants!"

"What the imperial court wants is right, but isn't there a hierarchy?" The shopkeeper in blue clothes smiled and stepped forward, "Don't embarrass me, brother... Look at where the nobles use this, they all have it."

It's good, isn't it? These... haha, they look a little bit broken, but they can still be used normally..."

"Did you break this piece of shit two years ago? It's been two years and you haven't thought about changing it?" The man in gray clothes said dissatisfiedly, "Look at the Zhen family's, how good it is.

That paint surface is like a mirror. How can I put it? The light can judge people!"

"This...it can be changed, but it costs money! Brother, my small business is not easy. Where can I get so much money to change the craftsmanship? Besides, if these can't be sold, brother, where will I get the money?

Improve the craftsmanship?" The shopkeeper said with a smile, "And don't you think this is just a wooden bean plate? Put the dishes on it and eat it, who cares whether the noodles are broken or not? It doesn't affect the use, it won't affect it at all.

...Besides, if you don't like this bad thing, you can go with your own good ones if you have money..."

"That's what I said, but someone has an opinion..." The man in gray clothes said lazily, "Last time, someone said it in front of Xun Lingjun, saying that the new plates were all broken...

It’s hard for me to do it..."

"Then... well, what did Xun Lingjun say?" The shopkeeper's expression changed and he asked cautiously.

The man in gray clothes glanced at the shopkeeper, "You are stupid. If you really said something, I wouldn't be here..."

"Yes! Yes, yes! I still feel sorry for my brother! I am loyal!" The shopkeeper gave two thumbs up and praised, "You said those guys have nothing to do after they are full. Why are you so excited? Isn't it just that the plates are a little bit broken?

?Whose plate will not break after being used for a long time? Huh? Besides, isn’t this all for me... By the way! Aha! I thought of it!』

The shopkeeper was startled, and Huiyi was startled, "What are you doing? The sound is so loud!"

"Brother, I thought of it! This will definitely shut up those troublesome guys! They won't even let out a fart!" The shopkeeper's face was full of excitement, and the flesh on his face was shaking.

"Oh?" The man in gray clothes blinked, "Tell me about it?"

"Let's just say that among our batch of goods, the ones that are broken or have gaps are all done "on purpose"..." the shopkeeper said mysteriously.

"On purpose? Are you hysterical?" Gray Clothes raised an eyebrow and said dissatisfied, "Who would believe you?"

"Don't worry, brother, just listen to what I have to say..." The shopkeeper smiled and didn't care about the sarcasm in gray clothes.

The man in gray clothes chuckled, "Okay, you say it, you say it!"

"What I mean is...Didn't Mr. Cao ask for frugality before?" The shopkeeper winked, "Xun Lingjun also said, be simple and don't be extravagant..."

"Ah, that seems to be the case." The man in gray clothes nodded.

"So!" The shopkeeper clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Look, isn't this just right?! These wealthy people are "frugal"! They are "simple"! It is to remind these little officials,

Don’t forget Cao Gong’s admonition, and don’t disobey Xun Lingjun’s teachings!”

"Ah?" The man in gray clothes was stunned.

"Brother, in order to better let these little officials understand this truth and put it into practice, you specially found a batch of plates like this, which are broken but not broken, broken but established, and advocate frugality and the pursuit of simplicity! How about it?!"

The more the shopkeeper talked, the more excited he became, "And those minor officials who have objections can't realize that I am so attentive. It's really stupid and unreasonable!"

"Hiss..." The man in gray clothes pinched the beard on his chin and said nothing.

"In this case, what opinions can they have? How dare they go to Xun Lingjun and say anything?" The shopkeeper laughed, obviously very satisfied with his own wisdom.

The man in gray clothes frowned, "You say it was specially made? Isn't it a matter of the quality of the plate's craftsmanship?"

"Absolutely not!" the shopkeeper said resolutely, "This is done intentionally, just to fit in with the people and pursue simplicity! And it was my brother who worked so hard and went through so much trouble to find me like this. I didn't even know it at the beginning.

I am willing to do it because I made it specially for Cao Gong’s order. This is specially made! This is brand new! Special craftsmanship! Brand new special craftsmanship! 』

"Wait, what kind of craftsmanship?" The man in gray clothes couldn't react for a moment.

"Ragged, uh, no, shabby, no, old craftsmanship!" said the shopkeeper.

"Broken...made, old craftsmanship?" The man in gray clothes seemed to be a little moved.

The shopkeeper clapped his hands and said: "Exactly!"

The man in gray clothes swallowed, "Specially made? So..."

The shopkeeper smiled happily, "Of course, it's specially made, the price...ah, haha, hahaha, of course, I have the final say, I have the final say! I just need to earn some money to support my family, really."

I just support my family... Really, I know this. I have been honest since I was a child. I have never lied to anyone. I have never told a lie in my life..."

……(?▽?)/ヾ(^▽^ヾ)……

"I really didn't lie to you!" An impatient voice sounded, "Really, really, absolutely true! What do you think I would do if I lied to you? I can't eat two more bowls of rice if I lie to you!"

Then he looked at the person opposite who didn't seem to believe it, and then said, "Really! Take a look, I have written it all down, and I will definitely report it to you! No problem, remember it all, remember it, never forget it!"

This is a semi-large official house. There are three big characters hanging high outside the house, "Zhiyin House".

The waiter in the room waited for the person who had just arrived to leave, then breathed out, "Hey! What's going on!"

"What's the matter? What's wrong!" Another clerk in the room responded casually.

"Isn't it?" said the young official, "I don't even have a name, so what's the use of telling me? You still have to ask me to write it down, so what's the use of writing it down?"

"Isn't that true?" The second clerk also sighed, "We just make a living, do you really think we can take care of things? If you don't talk to people who can really take care of things, if you don't talk to us, these people are stupid.

What?』

"More and more people are coming here? Can't we live a peaceful life for a few days?" The clerk sighed, then pointed at the talent record on the desk and said, "What should I do with this? I still have to cut it with a knife.

My knives are all dull..."

The clerk Yi said nonchalantly, "What else can I do? Just cut it as usual. You can write again after you cut it. Do you still want to burn it? What a waste... Then, use my knife later."

, I just sharpened it yesterday so that... uh, someone is here..."

The new arrival stood at the door and stared at the clerk in the room.

"Excuse me..." Xiao Li A had a habitual smile on his face, "What's your surname?"

The visitor cupped his hand and said, "Under the guard tent of the Western Region's capital, Sima Gao Wutong, the forward of the left route army!"

"Oh, oh, I've seen Gao Sima..." Little Lier Yi greeted, "Gao Sima, please come in and sit down. Ah, I'm really sorry. This place is shabby and the hospitality is not good. Please forgive me..."

"Yes, please forgive me, Gao Sima... Well, Gao Sima, why don't you drink some water first?" Xiao Li A pretended to push the water bowl and jug that were originally placed in his hand forward a little.

Li Jia dared to swear on his *** that he really just pushed forward a little bit, at most the width of a ***. He originally thought Gao Wutong would say no, but he didn't expect Gao Wutong to do so.

He nodded and said, "Thank you, I just happened to be thirsty after leaving!"

There wasn't a lot of water in the small pitcher, so Gao Wutong drank it all in two or three gulps.

Officer A subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling that his throat was a little dry, and secretly regretted why he didn't take a few more sips just now...

"Ahem..." Little Li Yi coughed twice and drew Gao Wutong's attention, "I wonder what happened to Gao Sima today?"

"That's right!" Gao Wutong said seriously, "Lieutenant Chang from the rear camp of the Zuo Army deducted 30% of my men's military pay for no reason! Last year, we said we would reissue it this year, but this year I went, but it turned out that it was no more!"

"It's Chang again..." Xiao Lijia muttered.

"What did you say?" Gao Wutong asked.

Officer A quickly smiled and said, "Nothing, nothing, I mean... sometimes the calculation may be wrong, and this will happen..."

Gao Wutong nodded and said, "I thought so before, so after I went back, I reported the number of people in our army and the accounts."

"Hmm, what happens next?" asked the young official Yi.

Gao Wutong slapped his leg, "But he said he didn't see it! I asked them to look for it, but they said they couldn't find it!"

"Uh, this... things in the back camp are complicated, maybe I really haven't found it..." Xiao Li Yi said, "Then Gao Sima, you should go to the captain of the back camp... If that doesn't work, you can go to General Wei, he is

Officers……"

"I looked for it too," Gao Wutong said, "I couldn't find it!"

"What...what do you mean not found?" asked the young official.

"He's just not in the back camp." Gao Wutong said, "I asked his subordinates, but his subordinates didn't know where he was. Then I asked the people in the back camp what to do about this matter? They said that you should handle it..."

"This... there may be some misunderstanding..." Officer Yi smiled awkwardly and said, "We are both just here. Seriously, I will never lie to you..."

"This is true, absolutely true..." Little Li Jia also said with a wry smile, "Gao Sima, you don't know, we have just arrived here not long ago, and we can only live in this small house. Even
