Chapter 362 Sharing happiness and hardship
Hu County.
These past few days have been very lively.
It not only attracted a huge number of merchants, but also foreigners dressed in all sorts of strange and unusual clothes.
Many local residents came to sell their goods, carrying their wares on shoulder poles.
Many people come here just to see what foreigners look like.
People came and went, and the cries of vendors filled the air.
Those who speak Chinese use broken Chinese to bargain.
If you don't know, use gestures to indicate.
The sheer volume of people indicates that it already possesses the beginnings of a commercial capital.
"You bastard!"
Just then, an angry voice rang out.
"Why do you sell this porcelain to the Tang people for one coin, but to me, a Baekje person, for ten coins?!"
As soon as Fu Yu Yi Ci's voice rang out, it immediately attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
Even many foreigners who understand Chinese showed expressions of anger.
This is a scam against them!
"The guest has misunderstood."
The merchant immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, "This porcelain is all about art."
"Look at this..."
The merchant pointed to the yellow and green colors on the porcelain: "This one has been glazed."
"The process is complex and the production is tedious, so the price is naturally a bit higher."
Upon hearing this, the onlookers nodded in agreement.
Wei Shuyu allowed them to cheat foreigners, but they had to do so with justification and evidence.
If they were to engage in unethical business practices, they would be tarnishing the reputation of the Tang Dynasty.
"nonsense."
Fu Yu Yi Ci shouted angrily, "They're all the same porcelain. What's the difference between these two glazes? You're just trying to rip us off because we don't know anything about porcelain!"
"Guest...we have to be reasonable."
The merchant took another piece of porcelain from the shelf: "Look at my little shop, I sell quite a lot of things."
Why did you take a liking to this porcelain piece at first sight?
"Because it is not only beautiful, but also represents status and position."
"The more beautiful the porcelain, the more it reflects one's status, doesn't it?"
"certainly……"
"If you think this is too expensive, you can also buy this unglazed porcelain, and I will give you one penny for it."
The merchant's words won the approval of many.
In contrast, everyone looked at Buyeo Uija with disdain.
"If you can't afford it, don't buy it. Don't pretend to be a big shot."
Someone said something that immediately provoked Buyeo Uija's anger.
"fart!"
Buyeo Uija shouted, "I am the Crown Prince of Baekje! Who dares to insult me?"
"Is this all the Baekje prince is like?"
Who would have thought that the voice was also arrogant?
"What kind of skill is it to hide your head and show your tail? If you have the guts, step forward!"
Buyeo Uija's sharp gaze swept across the room, hoping to find someone to mock him.
"Come out, then!"
Murong Shun pushed through the crowd and walked out confidently.
A group of people followed behind him.
"You are... from the Tuyuhun?"
Buyeo Uiji identified the country of the other party from their clothing.
"That's right!"
Murong Shun raised his head proudly: "This prince will never change his name or surname, Murong Shun!"
"Pooh."
Buyeo Uija spat: "Just a piece of trash who has no chance of inheriting the Khan's throne."
"Say it again if you dare?" Murong Shun's expression suddenly turned cold.
Now that he has taken command of the military, he exudes an indescribable aura of authority.
The onlookers couldn't help but watch the spectacle unfold...
Buyeo Yi-ci.
The Crown Prince of Baekje was the same age as Li Shimin!
Murong Shun.
The Tuyuhun prince missed out on the position of crown prince because he had been a hostage in the Sui Dynasty for many years.
Both were men who had the potential to become the ruler of a country.
I ran into you here today...
Tsk tsk.
This is huge news!
I heard that the Ministry of Commerce's newspaper even spends money to buy gossip.
The bigger the melon, the more valuable it is!
"Please calm down, both of you."
"How can a mere piece of porcelain compare to the friendship between our two countries?"
"If the Crown Prince of Baekje wants them, these two porcelain pieces with glaze are yours!"
The merchant immediately handed over the porcelain...
It's about doing business.
Have a broad perspective!
However, he overlooked the dignity of a monarch.
"presumptuous!"
Buyeo Uija took the porcelain in his hand and smashed it hard on the ground.
Do you think Baekje can't afford a single piece of your porcelain?
Bang.
The porcelain shattered with a crack, and everyone's attitude towards watching the spectacle began to change.
I involuntarily took a few steps back.
When the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer as well.
That's not what I meant...
Seeing that Buyeo Ui-ja was angry, the merchants panicked.
The Ministry of Commerce has repeatedly issued orders to treat foreign countries as gods of wealth.
Now he has angered Baekje, the crown prince of Baekje.
The consequences were predictable...
Would the imperial court offend the crown prince because of a merchant?
Won't!
The imperial court will only use him to vent their anger on the other side.
"You've got quite a temper!"
Murong Shun sneered, "You dare to cause trouble on Tang territory? I think you're tired of living."
Do you think I'm like you?
Buyeo Uija became increasingly arrogant: "I am the Crown Prince of Baekje, and I represent the entire Baekje!"
"Don't even mention smashing this one piece of porcelain, even if you smash this whole shop, smash this whole street..."
"What can the Tang Dynasty do to me?"
Murong Shun stared blankly at this scene.
This looks so familiar!
Back in the day, I, the prince, was just as arrogant.
But the result was...
Military officers' sons, the Imperial Academy's army... hundreds of them ganged up on me!
Even now, thinking about it still makes me cringe.
"Yes, you are the crown prince of Baekje."
Murong Shun smiled: "If you have the guts, just wait... I'll let the Tang Dynasty uphold justice itself."
"I'll wait!"
Fuyu Yici snorted arrogantly: "Do you think everyone is as cowardly as your Tuyuhun?"
"hehe……"
Murong Shun merely sneered.
The more arrogant you are now, the more pathetic you'll be later.
I peeked outside secretly.
The constables responsible for maintaining order had already gone to inform the authorities.
Even when trying to mediate a fight, one must maintain a proper social standing.
As long as they don't take action, it's not their place to interrupt!
"Get out of the way, get out of the way."
Choi Shin-ki, dressed in the uniform of a yamen runner, used a fire-and-water stick, a common tool for yamen runners, to drive away the crowd.
The Imperial College army behind them also wore the same uniform!
That's right...
Hu County is short of personnel, so the Imperial College's large contingent has stepped in to fill in again.
As for why there is a shortage of people?
If the boss says you have a day off today, then you have to have a day off!
It's paid leave, the kind!
"Which two Wang Fatan dare to cause trouble in Hu County?" Cui Shenji asked, his head held high, looking arrogant.
"What's the meaning?"
Buyeo Uija immediately flew into a rage: "Is there no one left in the Great Tang?"
"What's the meaning of sending a few brats over here?"
Murong Shun remained silent.
The most terrifying thing about the Tang Dynasty wasn't its officials, but these little brats...
Officials have many things to worry about, but these kids have no taboos at all!
"Is it you, Wang Fatan?"
Choi Shin-ki casually waved his hand: "Take him down!"
Splash...
The group of friends all rushed out.
Behind the group of friends followed a squad of soldiers.
"Who dares?"
Buyeo Uija shouted sternly, "I am the Crown Prince of Baekje! Anyone who dares to take another step forward, I will have His Majesty the Tang Emperor exterminate their entire family!"
Oh ho?
Trying to show off in front of the great god-like figure, huh?
"beat!"
Choi Shin-ki said nonchalantly, "As long as you don't kill him, everyone will take responsibility for the crime, including his remains."
"Um?"
Fang Yi'ai, who was about to charge forward, was taken aback: "Why me?"
Are we brothers?
"yes!"
"Are we meant to share both good times and bad?"
"yes!"
"I gave the order, so you're responsible. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"No!"
Ada.
Qin Shandao came up with a swift kick.
"Brother Jiji gave the order, Brother Ai Ai took responsibility, and I'll be in charge of kicking!"
