In the last few days of the twelfth lunar month, Wuyi completely fell into a carnival state.

The Chinese New Year is still the most important day for the people in the year. No matter whether they have money or not, they always have to prepare well. What's more, the people of Wuyi are really not short of money.

The days when I was short of money in the past have long become a thing of the past. I had to cut a few kilograms of meat, weigh a few kilograms of noodles, wrap a meal of dumplings, pull a few feet of cloth, and make a new piece of clothing.

Now that life is better, we naturally have to have a beautiful New Year.

Even the quiet inner city, which was once quiet, became extremely lively after the twelfth lunar month. As major yamen closed their doors one after another to prepare for the festival, the high-end restaurants and shops in the inner city became crowded.

Of course, the most down-to-earth one is the outer city.

The outer city is the real life of the people.

Li Ze held his son Li Dan, held his wife Liu Ruyan's hand, and walked on the streets of the outer city.

Li Ze likes the real fireworks in the outer city.

Because of this kind of fireworks, he gave him a sense of joy and accomplishment from the bottom of his heart. Whenever he saw the most ordinary people taking out strings of copper coins from the bag with a smile on his face and paying the bills happily and getting the New Year supplies from the merchants, Li Ze felt that this was the biggest compliment to him.

This was not the case before.

Today, Li Ze was wearing a green satin jacket, which was filled with excellent duck down. The woman who specialized in tailoring in the house sewed the inner liner into small grids with fine stitches, so that the duck down was evenly distributed in these small grids, which not only kept warm, but also did not look bloated. Silk, even in Wuyi today, is still a luxury item. More people still mainly use cotton and linen. Not to mention this kind of clothing that Li Ze calls down jackets.

In Li Ze's view, Wuyi can barely be called a well-off society now, and in most places under his rule, he probably barely solved the problem of food and clothing. Of course, there are still some places, and many poor people are busy with three meals a day.

This needs to be done step by step.

At least, now I have provided a broad environment for them that has hope and can strive for this hope.

Liu Ruyan next to her is much more low-key than Li Ze today. She has a cloth skirt with her hair tied with a copper hairpin. Most of the time, her eyes always fall on the son Li Ze is holding, and her expression is a little nervous.

There are so many people in the outer city.

Even in Wuyi, which has good public security, it is inevitable that the mix of fish and dragons will be mixed. Especially during the imperial examination not long ago, many assassins were sent to the pseudo-liang side and caused a storm in Wuyi. Is there still such a person in Wuyi?

Of course there will be.

But Li Ze doesn't care.

How many ordinary people have seen the true appearance of Li Ze and Liu Ruyan? Not to mention their son Li Dan. Now they are no different from those young couples on the street.

If you insist on saying there is one, it is probably the man is quite upright, but the woman is indeed a little pretty.

Li Ze never thought he was handsome.

I can only say it's not ugly.

The son Li Dan in his arms was wrapped tightly. His age of more than one year made him already have a lot of curiosity about this world. He twisted around Li Ze's arms, opened his big eyes and looked at this novel world.

This was the first time he had walked out of the Li Mansion's mansion seriously.

Or lively is the first impression left to him by this world. Compared to the door of the mansion, there are two completely different scenes.

Li Dan, who is over one year old, can now clearly call out words such as father, mother, etc., but he still cannot say a sentence in a complete way to express his meaning. Most of the time, he jumps out from outside, which makes Liu Ruyan a little depressed. She always thinks that her son should be the smartest one in the world.

Of course, Li Ze disagreed.

However, Li Dan in Li Ze's arms still attracted a lot of attention, which was mainly due to the tiger hat on his head. Two long cloth ropes were hanging in front, and Li Dan's little hands were pulling the rope. Whenever he pulled it down, the tiger's ears became dull. If the two hands were pulled alternately, the two cloth ears would rise up and down. This was definitely the first thing in the outer city today.

Many couples who were holding the child and holding the child were curiously looking at the strange hat. The children's eyes were even green. Seeing that they looked like that, they wanted to snatch it and put it on their heads.

In fact, it is quite simple to make. Li Ze explained a few words to his tailor and made it in one day.

"Please stay here, brother." A middle-aged man stopped Li Ze.

Liu Ruyan subconsciously took a step forward and stopped Li Ze half of her body. In terms of force, Li Ze was far inferior to her.

The middle-aged man looked at Liu Ruyan in surprise.

Liu Ruyan's state of wanting to take care of things is undoubtedly clear. Under normal circumstances, men will always be blocked by women, and it is not common for women to stand up.

Of course, most of the women in the Tang Dynasty were still very tough, and middle-aged people were just a little surprised.

"What's the matter?" Li Ze quietly pulled Liu Ruyan aside.

"Can you show me this hat?" The middle-aged man felt a little embarrassed.

"Yi Guanqianqian!" Li Ze stretched out a finger and shook it in front of the middle-aged man, which surprised Liu Ruyan. He took a look at him and asked Yi Guanqianqianqianqian?

"No problem!" The middle-aged man was extremely pleased and turned around and shouted. Immediately, a man who looked like a servant came over with a yellow copper coin that had always been yellow: "One thousand words, one is a lot."

After reaching out to take the copper coins, Li Ze giggled and took off his son's hat without hesitation and handed it to the man. Li Dan lost his hat, and the cold wind whistled. He hugged his head with his little hands and was about to cry when he grinned. Li Ze immediately took off his dog-skin hat and put it on his head, covering most of Li Dan's head.

He tried hard to lift the hat with his little hand, and the little guy burst into tears and laughed again in a flash.

After looking carefully for a while, the middle-aged man exclaimed repeatedly: "The design is ingenious. Do you care about my imitation? How much does it cost to me?"

Li Ze weighed the copper coins in his hand: "You have paid."

The middle-aged man couldn't help but be overjoyed and bowed repeatedly, "Thank you, brother."

Li Ze laughed and took the tiger hat, held the doll, and took his wife away.

"Just after just a few glances, it's always money. It's easy for you to make money." Liu Ruyan carefully put on his hat for his son, but Li Dan seemed to fall in love with Li Ze's dog-skinned hat, and tried hard to pull up his father's hat back. Of course, with his stature, it was completely unsuccessful. Seeing Li Ze shook his head and teasing the child's little mouth showed signs of flattening again, Liu Ruyan took off the dog-skinned hat from Li Ze's head without hesitation and stuffed it into the child's hand.

"So you found a good man and you won't be hungry at any time." Li Ze said proudly: "This businessman is very good. When he found a business opportunity, he did not hesitate and took good care of his usual money. Afterwards, he asked if he needed to not pay anymore. This person would make money in the future. Qiaoer, do you believe it or not? Tomorrow, our Dan'er will start selling and buying it in the outer city. This is not a matter of making money. Maybe in just a few days, he can make dozens of stakes or hundreds of stakes."

"Then you should collect more." Liu Ruyan said with a smile.

Li Ze laughed and threw away the copper coins in his hand, "Let's go, I'll treat you to eat."

Half a pot of rapeseed medicine was churning in the iron pot, the top white flour was kneaded, cut a little, rolled into thin strips, and then pulled in the hand, becoming thinner and thinner. It turned into a fan-like thing like a magic trick. It was thrown into the oil pan, and in an instant, the golden finished product was out of the pot. This is a snack snack that only emerged in Wuyi this year, and is called a bacon.

Five cents apiece.

Li Ze pulled out five cents from the money he had just earned, bought a handful of pieces, broke it half of it and handed it to Liu Ruyan, but he pulled it a little and stuffed it into his son's mouth. He heard that he was chewing it so hard that he smiled happily.

A piece of dough is cut a few times in the middle, crossed it and pulled it into the pot, and when it comes out, it becomes a unique pasta called horns.

Since the popularity of iron pots and vegetable oils has begun to become popular, and because of the hardships of food, various novel snacks have sprung up on the streets like bamboo shoots after a rain.

For ten cents, you can buy a small scoop of such a cow horn.

Compared to this, maltose was much more expensive. After paying ten cents, the old man selling maltose hit the iron rod with a small hammer and knocked a small piece of maltose from a whole piece of maltose. Seeing his son tilting his head and pulling it hard, he pulled the maltose long but still didn't bite off a piece, Li Ze laughed happily.

Even for Wuyi, there are still very few sweets.

Maltose is the cheapest and most popular. Most people are reluctant to spend this money from frosted sugar from Jiangnan.

After walking around for half a day, Li Dan, who was finally tired, fell asleep in Li Ze's arms. Liu Ruyan also brought various snacks and gadgets in her hand. Basically, as long as Li Dan showed a little interest, both of them would buy them.

"Let's go back!" Li Ze said.

The sound of horse hooves came from the street, and a slightly hoarse but still loud sound rang on the street.

"The great victory in Pingzhou, the great victory in Pingzhou! The right guard and the left Jinwu Guard were wiped out 50,000 Lulong's army in Pingzhou."

The sound of shouting over and over again became closer and closer, but the people on the street reacted very calmly. The most common thing Li Ze heard was "Have you won again?" "Of course I won, can we lose!"

This made Li Ze very happy.

Victory has become a habit.

This is a good thing.
