There are two markets in Kyoto, the East and the West, which sell a wide variety of goods. It is the largest market near Gyeonggi, and even the entire Jingguo.
Of course, in addition to the row upon row of shops and the endless stalls along the street, there are often some strange things.
For example, a chicken with three legs, a bird without legs, a stone man with characters on his body, a talking fox, etc...
Of course, now the imperial court does not allow foxes to speak, nor does it allow people to dig stone men from the river, but there are still people who spread a piece of white cloth in a corner of the street and sell some rare treasures and antiques, and there are many rich people in the capital. , There are also rich people who are interested in these.
Kyoto West Market.
After the market opened at dawn, the yelling continued until the curfew closed the market.
"The glazed statue consecrated by Master Tanyin, five taels of silver each..."
"The chair His Royal Highness King Jing once sat on is sold at a low price of one hundred taels..."
"Selling knives, ancestral treasured knives, for cutting copper and iron, cutting gold and cutting jade, the original price was 10,000 taels, now it is only sold for 5,000 taels, only 5,000 taels..."
…
There are everything sold on the streets of Kyoto. A while ago, I saw someone selling underwear worn by His Royal Highness King Jing. It was later confirmed that it was not worn by King Jing. The seller was also arrested for fraud...
The people sometimes gather around to watch the excitement, to see what is so special about the chair His Royal Highness King Jing sat on, whether the Buddha statue opened by Master Tan Yin will shine, whether the ancestral sword cuts iron like mud, etc. …
A man with a long knife on his waist walked up to the man selling the knife and asked, "Is your knife really as good as you say?"
The man smiled, "A precious sword is a precious sword. In front of everyone, if I lie to you, I will give you five thousand taels of silver..."
The man laughed when he heard the words, pulled out the long knife at his waist, and said, "This knife of mine is an ordinary one, try it..."
The man also took out the treasured sword in his hand, handed it to him, and said, "Try it yourself..."
The man looked at him, and suddenly said vigilantly: "If I cut off this knife, you won't let me pay for it?"
"How could it be..." The man shook his head, pointed to the people watching, and said, "Today, everyone is here to bear witness. If my family's treasured sword is cut off by this brother, he doesn't need to pay for it..."
Seeing this, the man no longer shirked his excuses, and held two knives in each hand, and chopped them off.
Clang!
After a sound of gold and iron clanging, the knife he brought broke, but the man's family heirloom knife was not damaged at all.
He stared blankly at the broken blade on the ground, with a look of pain on his face, then looked at the man, and said, "How dare you sell weapons privately and break my family heirloom sword, I want to arrest you!" You see the officer!"
Jing Guo's control over weapons is extremely strict. Selling weapons without the government's permission is illegal. Of course, the management in this area has always been very loose, but if it is carefully investigated, this man's behavior of selling knives in the street has indeed violated the law.
The man looked at the big man who was stunned in place, and said again: "It's fine if you don't get arrested, unless you pay me this knife..."
…
The man who sold the knife snatched the knife back, grabbed the man and beat him violently. Some of the onlookers stayed and watched, while others shook their heads and left.
In recent days, there are many people selling ancestral swords and swords on the streets.
A few days ago, there were people who sold Xueyinkuangdao and peerless swords. They were all stunned after hearing too many stories in Goulan.
This man actually knows how to find a child to play tricks, but unfortunately his appetite is too big, five thousand taels of silver, if it is a real magic weapon, it is worth it, but more than 90% of it may be just a clumsy scam.
Among the people left behind, there were some who couldn't help but stepped forward to verify it. That man was also generous, as if he was very confident in his family heirloom sword, and he would not refuse anyone, full of confidence...
Gradually, people were surprised to find that this knife seemed really unusual.
When an ordinary knife collides with it, it will either be broken in two or have a gap. Although it can't be called cutting iron like mud, it can really be regarded as a precious knife...
This kind of magical weapon is quite popular among martial arts people, and many wealthy families in Kyoto also like to collect it...
Among the crowd, a man who looked like a servant looked at the man and said, "Knife seller, take your knife and follow me..."
"Okay!" The man's face showed joy, he immediately put away his sword, and followed the servant into a big house.
Everyone in the audience knew that this man's knife was taken by others...
This five thousand taels is much easier to get...
When the crowd dispersed, another voice came from the crowd.
"What kind of family heirloom knife, you didn't buy it, you haven't seen it, is that knife brand new..."
"Nonsense, this kind of magical weapon must have come from a master, how could it be possible to buy it in ordinary shops..."
"The newly opened shop in front is called Baijian Mountain Villa. It is said that the plaque was inscribed by His Majesty himself. You can go and see it..."
…
A new weapon shop called "Worship Sword Villa" has opened in Kyoto. All the weapons sold are magical weapons, and there are inscriptions written by His Majesty, and the reputation is guaranteed...
A big sign was erected at the door of the shop.
Limited quantity, first come first served...
The swords and weapons in this shop are all first-class magic weapons, famous, peerless swords, hero swords, fire swords, snow drink knives...
Someone came here attracted by the name, and used a random knife in the hall to slash against a certain famous knife made by the master. As a result, the famous knife was cut, and the other one was intact...
Once the incident was reported, Beijing was in an uproar.
In just a few days, the name of "Sword Worship Villa" spread throughout the capital.
According to the story of Goulan, Baijian Mountain Villa has mastered the first-class sword casting method in the world, and can create a sharp weapon that cuts iron like mud...
I thought this was just a fabricated story, but now it seems that this story is not entirely a story...
All of a sudden, countless dignitaries and officials who like to collect rare and rare treasures flocked to them. They yearned for the martial arts people who own a peerless magic weapon, and they couldn't sit still. It is rumored that even His Majesty has bought several...
In less than three days, the weapons in Baijian Villa were sold out.
Even so, there is still an endless stream of people who visit the door every day to inquire.
In Kyoto, when the threshold of "Baijian Villa" was about to be broken, in the distant Shuzhou, a chaotic place, Li Yi was peeling apples for drunk ink.
Peeling apples with an ordinary knife is fine. Peeling apples with a peerless sword is too high-profile, and it is easy to hurt your hands. After peeling the apples, I wanted to feed her myself, but it happened that Ruoqing and Ruyi went in, and he was kicked out .
Li Yi feels that he is not very popular now, sometimes Ruyi sleeps with Zui Mo, sometimes Ruoqing sleeps with Zui Mo, sometimes the three of them sleep together, it seems that only he is redundant.
Redundant is redundant, family harmony is better than harem fire, what is he dissatisfied with
Li Yi took a bite of the apple himself, walked back to the room, and picked up a document.
Although they are now able to mass-produce the magical weapon in the eyes of the world, but there are too many people under their command, the supply will continue to be in short supply for a long time.
Of course, the good things should be equipped for our own people first, except for the batch that was transported into the capital, they have not flowed out for the time being.
Li Xuan wrote in a letter two days ago, saying that one hundred highly skilled blacksmiths are already on the way, and there are too many applicants. He even conducted a selection test and selected the best one hundred to send over.
Li Yi wanted these blacksmiths not just to forge swords, they must be much better than these laymen in smelting and forging, and he also counted on them to take a big step forward from theory to practice and come up with something more practical .
After eating half of the apple, when I looked up, I saw Lao Fang coming from a distance, his face was a little ugly, he looked at Li Yi, and said, "Grandpa, Wu Guo, Wu Guo, there is news..."
