Happy Little Scholar

There are two markets in Kyoto, the east and west, selling a wide variety of goods. It is considered the largest market near Gyeonggi and even in the entire Jingguo.

Of course, in addition to the rows of shops and endless stalls on the streets, there are often some strange things.

For example, a chicken with three legs, a bird without legs, a stone man with writing on its body, a talking fox, etc...

Of course, the court now does not allow foxes to speak, nor does it allow people to dig stone figures from the river, but there are still people who spread a white cloth in a corner of the street and sell some rare and antiques that are not known to be true or false. There are many rich people in Kyoto , there are also wealthy people who are interested in these.

Kyoto Nishi Market.

After the market opens at dawn, the shouting will continue until the curfew closes the market.

"A glass statue consecrated by Master Tanyin, five taels of silver each..."

"The chair that His Highness Prince Jing sat on is sold for a hundred taels..."

"I'm selling knives. The treasured sword passed down from our ancestors. It can be used to cut copper, chop iron, chop gold and cut jade. The original price was 10,000 taels, but now it only sells for 5,000 taels. It only sells for 5,000 taels..."

…

Everything is sold on the streets of Kyoto. A while ago, I saw someone selling underwear worn by His Highness King Kei. It was later confirmed that those were not worn by King Kei. The person who sold them was also imprisoned for fraud...

Sometimes the common people would gather around to watch the fun, and see what was special about the chair His Highness King Jing sat on, whether the Buddha statue that Master Tanyin had consecrated would shine, whether the ancestral sword could cut iron like clay, 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 and said, "A treasured sword is a treasured sword. In front of everyone, if I lie to you, I will give you five thousand taels of silver for free..."

The man smiled when he heard this, pulled out the long knife from his waist, and said, "This knife of mine is just an ordinary thing. Come and try it..."

The man also took out the sword in his hand, handed it to him, and said, "Try it yourself..."

The man looked at him and suddenly said warily: "If I cut off this knife, you won't let me pay for it, right?"

"How could it be..." The man shook his head, pointed to the people watching, and said: "Today everyone is here to bear witness. If the sword passed down by my family is cut off by this brother, he does not need to compensate..."

Seeing this, the man stopped trying to shirk the blame. He held two knives in each hand and slashed at each other.

Clang!

After a sound of gold and iron clashing, the knife he brought was broken, but the man's family heirloom sword was not damaged at all.

He stared blankly at the broken blade on the ground, with a hint of pain on his face. Then he 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 official!"

Jingguo's control over weapons is extremely strict. It is illegal to sell weapons without the permission of the government. Of course, the management in this area has always been very loose, but if you look closely, this man's behavior of selling knives on the street has indeed violated the law.

The man looked at the big man who was stunned on the spot, and said: "I don't mind arresting you, unless you give me this knife..."

…

The man selling the knife snatched the knife back, grabbed the man and beat him hard. Some of the onlookers stayed there to watch, while others shook their heads and left.

In recent days, there are many people selling ancestral swords and heirloom swords on the streets.

A few days ago, there were people selling Xueyin Kuangdao and peerless swords. They were all stunned after hearing too many stories in Goulan.

This man actually knows how to find a shill to make people suffer, but his appetite is too big. Five thousand taels of silver would be worth it if it were a real magic weapon, but more than 90% of it may be just a clumsy scam.

Among the people who stayed, some couldn't help but come forward to verify. The man was quite generous. He seemed to be very confident in his family heirloom sword. He would not reject anyone who came, and he looked 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 break in two or get a hole. Although it can't be said to cut iron like clay, it can really be regarded as a precious sword...

This kind of magic weapon is very popular among people in the martial arts world. Many wealthy families in Kyoto also like to collect it...

In 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.

The onlookers knew that this man's knife was taken a fancy to...

These five thousand taels were a little easier to get...

When everyone dispersed, another voice came from the crowd.

"What kind of family heirloom sword? I haven't bought it yet. You haven't seen it yet. Is that sword brand new..."

"Nonsense, this kind of magical weapon must have come from the hands of a master. How can you buy it in an ordinary store..."

"The newly opened shop in front is called Baijian Villa. It is said that the plaque was inscribed by His Majesty himself. You will know if you go and take a look..."

…

A new weapons store called "Sword Worship Villa" has been opened in Kyoto. All the weapons sold are magic weapons, and they are inscribed by His Majesty himself, so the credibility is guaranteed...

A big sign was erected at the door of the store.

Quantity is limited, first come first served...

The swords and weapons in this shop are all first-class magic weapons with great reputations, such as peerless swords, heroic swords, fire lin swords, snow drinking swords...

Someone came here to chop a famous sword made by a master with a random sword in the hall. As a result, the famous sword was chipped, while the other was intact...

Once this incident was reported, the whole capital was in an uproar.

In just a few days, the name of "Baijian Villa" spread throughout the capital.

The story in the brothel said that Baijian Villa mastered the world's first-class sword-making method and could create a magical weapon that could cut iron like mud...

I thought it was just a fabricated story, but now it seems that this story is not entirely a story...

For a time, countless powerful officials who like to collect rare treasures flocked to the villa, and martial artists who yearned to own a peerless magical weapon could not sit still. It is said that even the current emperor bought several...

In less than three days, the weapons of Baijian Villa were sold out.

Even so, there were still many people coming to ask questions every day.

In Kyoto, when the threshold of "Baijian Villa" was about to be trampled down by people, in the distant Shuzhou, a chaotic place, Li Yi was peeling apples for Zui Mo.

It was fine to use an ordinary knife to peel apples. Using a peerless sword to peel apples was too high-profile and easy to hurt the hands. After peeling the apples, he wanted to feed her personally, but Ruoqing and Ruyi happened to come in, and he was kicked out.

Li Yi felt that he was not very popular now. Sometimes Ruyi accompanied Zui Mo to sleep, sometimes Ruoqing accompanied Zui Mo to sleep, and sometimes the three of them slept together, as if he was the only one who was redundant.

Redundant is redundant, family harmony is always better than a fire in the harem, what else is he dissatisfied with?

Li Yi took a bite of the apple himself, walked back to the room, and picked up a document casually.

Although they can now mass-produce magic weapons in the eyes of the world, there are too many people under their command, and the supply will continue to exceed the demand for a long time.

Good things must of course be equipped to their own people first. Except for the batch shipped to Kyoto, it has not yet been leaked.

Li Xuan wrote to me two days ago saying that 100 highly skilled blacksmiths were on their way. There were so many people who signed up that he even held a selection test and selected the best 100 people to send over.

Li Yi wanted these blacksmiths not only for sword forging, but also for smelting and forging. They must be much better than these laymen. He also hoped that they could make a big step from theory to practice and come up with something more practical.

He ate half of the apple and looked up. He saw Lao Fang coming from a distance. His face was a little ugly. He looked at Li Yi and said, "Son-in-law, Wuguo, there is news from Wuguo..."
