Li Xiao didn't care to look at the glass, he glanced at it twice and left.

It was the pork stall that caught Li Xiao's attention. He took a closer look at the pork to see if there were any cysticercosis. You have to be careful about this thing. If you eat "pox meat", you will get pork tapeworms, and people will become as thin as a handful of bones.

In the Ming Dynasty, where there was no inspection and quarantine, Li Xiao was very worried about public food hygiene issues.

After watching it twice, it was pretty good. The pork was three-layered and the elbows were specially shaved off the bones. The service was considerate.

"Hey...! We in the Liao Army could not eat pork more than once a year. Mr. Ao said that he still does not eat fish, shrimps and crabs, but he didn't want to eat them anymore at that time. In those years, we made dumplings all the time.

It's stuffed with shrimp." Looking at the pork stall, Li Xiao thought of the "hard" years back then.

"Commander! You don't know that now people can't easily eat fish, shrimp, crabs and other seafood. We don't take these things seriously, but the dried fish and shrimps are good things when they are trafficked to the northwest.

Those Mongolians who eat beef and mutton actually like to eat these seafood very much. Because they don’t have it there, they sell it at very good prices. But at these times, the Mongols are at war. The leader of Geritu has no time to organize camel caravans for trafficking.

If you have any, you can sell them." Hou Fangyu pointed to the stall next to the meat stall with a smile, and Li Xiao saw a lot of dried shrimps and dried fish.

"How are you selling your pork?" After being an official for some years, Li Xiao also learned some tricks of being an official. He can scold subordinate officials with a straight face, but he has to put on a smile when dealing with these common people and try to create a good image.

He looks like he is close to the people. Sun Chengzong once told Li Xiao that this is very important.

"The pork sales are not bad, I can sell almost one pig a day." The pig seller was a simple and honest man, far less vicious than Zheng Tu.

"Yeah!" Li Xiao was very satisfied. It seemed that the living standard of Shanhaiguan people was pretty good.

"How much did you sell today?" Li Xiao glanced at the pork on the stall, and the huge pig head was placed on the case, smiling strangely at Li Xiao.

"You didn't sell one tael?" the man selling the meat replied respectfully.

"Why?" Li Xiao looked at the butcher in surprise, and Hou Fangyu began to sweat on his face.

"I heard that the commander-in-chief was coming, but they sealed off the shop and didn't allow anyone to come in, so I didn't sell any one tael." Hou Fangyu's eyes almost blinked away, but he couldn't stop this upright man.

"...!" Everyone was speechless and looked at Hou Fangyu with pity. It was really unfortunate for an official to have such a down-to-earth person under his administration.

"Oh! Haha! It's really our fault for delaying your business. I'll weigh a few kilograms of pork and take it back to you, so I can open the business for you." Wang Tong reacted the fastest and saw that Hou Fangyu's face had turned into a pig.

He was so angry that he hurriedly rescued his subordinates.

"Can't you sell it?" The man who sold the meat was determined to die without saying anything shocking. He said everything Wang Tong had to say back to his mouth.

"Why?" This time, even Li Xiao was surprised.

"They said that when the commander-in-chief came, no one was allowed to hold weapons. All the meat-cutting knives were taken away by the officers!"

"I……!"

Hou Fangyu really wanted to bite the real person in front of him to death!

"Hahaha!" Li Xiao laughed twice and patted Hou Fangyu on the shoulder.

Li Xiao didn't want to be an honest man, so he could only encourage Fatty Hou. Otherwise, if he left, Hou Fangyu would definitely make trouble for him.

It’s better for the county magistrate to take charge now! Li Xiao can’t send someone to watch this stall every day!

Seeing that Li Xiao was not angry, he seemed a little happy. Hou Fangyu glared at the butcher and followed Li Xiao to continue his inspection.

Bianyifang is just a show. Shanhaiguan guards the water and land strategic points, and is one of the first places to open factories to allocate land. The people's livelihood is naturally better than other places, so there is nothing interesting about this.

Banks are what Li Xiao wants to look at, because he wants to see to what extent banknotes have become popular among the people and whether they can still be contained!

Just as he walked out of the door, Li Xiao suddenly turned around: "You have made arrangements in this bank, right?"

"No...! No! This arrangement is to ensure your safety, Commander-in-Chief. The remnants of Donglin occasionally make trouble. Not long ago, they even made a grenade to kill Xiaguan, but Xiaguan escaped with his life.

The Donglin traitor who was holding the grenade was killed on the spot, and the two guards of Xiaguan were seriously injured and are still lying in the hospital."

"It's so noisy? Why didn't you report it?" Li Xiao frowned. Unexpectedly, the Donglin Party had already begun to assassinate the court ministers. This is already a crime of rebellion!

"It has already been reported. You were fighting on the grassland at that time and probably did not receive the report from the imperial palace. Mr. Sun has already sent someone to check. It is estimated that there will be news in a few days." Although Wang Tong said it lightly, Li Xiao

Knowing the situation at the scene must be very terrifying.

The damn Donglin Party actually developed into a terrorist organization. In the past, Li Xiao had a somewhat tolerant attitude towards them, but now it seems that he is too kind to them.

This is still in Shanhaiguan, where the Liao army is powerful, and Jiangnan, the hometown of the Donglin Party, is not sure what it will be like. I have to write to Yang Sichang to remind him to pay attention to his own safety.

Jiangnan is following the example of Shandong in carrying out the land redistribution movement. The big landowners in Jiangnan hate Yang Sichang far more than they do.

"How is the security at Shanhaiguan?"

"Shanhaiguan has always been peaceful. Even some local gangsters didn't dare to make too much noise. They just drank and fought. Who knew that such a big thing would happen. So...! That's why I used more security.

thought."

"You are interested!" Li Xiao patted Wang Tong on the shoulder.

The inside of the bank is relatively clean. There is a row of counters in the lobby. In each cubicle, there is a clerk talking to people outside through the thick large glass.

Li Xiao stood there for more than 20 minutes and saw many people exchanging silver notes for silver notes. But few people exchanging silver notes for silver notes. He sighed helplessly. It seemed that he wanted to curb the circulation of silver notes.

It will be very difficult.

Just like people in later generations quickly accepted WeChat Pay and Alipay, people also quickly accepted the convenient and fast new product of banknotes. Carrying a few banknotes in your pocket is far more convenient than carrying a bag of money.

Anyway, it is something endorsed by the credibility of the imperial court, and the people have firm confidence in the new dynasty, especially in places like Shanhaiguan and Liaodong.

Li Xiao was worried that if something happened to the banknote in the future, it would be a big accident.

Li Xiao didn't speak, and neither did anyone else. Everyone looked at Li Xiao, wondering what the commander was thinking.

After watching for more than half an hour, Li Xiao only saw a dozen people who came to exchange money. Moreover, the money exchanged was still three to two or five taels of silver. Li Xiao was very curious as to why these people wanted to withdraw money.

"Uncle, why do you want to take the money?" Li Xiao walked up to an old man.

At first glance, the old man looked like a businessman. He was wearing silk clothes. He had an official hat on his head and a mustache. His image was a bit vulgar.

"Sir, I have to pay taxes to the court. Although I am used to using banknotes on weekdays, when the court collects taxes, it still requires cash. That's why I came here to pay taxes.

Silver." Seeing Li Xiao, the old man immediately stood up and saluted Li Xiao.

This is a very discerning person, and he can tell at a glance that Li Xiao is the biggest official here.

"Oh! So that's it." Li Xiao nodded, and it was obvious that this was Ai Husheng's handiwork.

That time at the household department, Li Xiao asked him to find a way to reduce the use of banknotes. Presumably, this was one of Ai Husheng's methods.

"Commander, I have already prepared a banquet in the military academy. The boys from the military academy also want to meet the commander." Wang Tong looked at the sky and saw that it was already getting late. He looked at his pocket watch and saw that it was almost one o'clock. He had no choice but to leave.

Come out and remind Li Xiao.

"Oh!" Li Xiao agreed.

Wang Tong immediately relaxed in his heart. Although everyone in the bank was inspected before being released, there were so many people at this station. It was difficult to say that there was Donglin's traitor hiding here. If something happened, it wouldn't be Wang Tong.

Affordable.
