The clever boy next to him replied: "Sir, if it weren't for the fact that teahouses are inseparable from people, I would want to queue up to buy something. I have never heard of this kind of thing when I grow up.

."

"In the past, it was fine if stores didn't raise prices. This 80% discount is too shocking."

While the boy was talking, he couldn't stop looking towards the street.

You can see that all stores with red cloth hanging on them are stores offering discounts this time.

And there are really long queues in front of these stores, and you can't even see the end of them at a glance.

On the streets, all patrols from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division were also dispatched. It seemed that they had been instructed to do so, and there were patrols guarding every intersection.

Next to the store where the red cloth was hung, there were also patrols watching. Any unruly people who wanted to jump in line would be beaten with two sticks without mercy.

Even some wealthy families, even the stewards and compradors of the Xungui family, do not give face.

The patrolmen of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division are very shrewd. How could a truly wealthy family care about such a small profit?

Faced with such a fair queue, the people living in the capital are really not used to it.

Among the team, it was rare to see scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants all standing together.

How can these literati usually rank behind ordinary people? Isn't this nonsense?

But for those stores that don't have red cloth hanging.

This is a kind of torture.

For example, two neighboring liquor stores usually do about the same business in liquor sales, but today.

The store hung with a red cloth hasn't opened yet, and there are hundreds or even thousands of people queuing up at random.

As for those without red cloth, even if the door is open, there will be no one there.

Who can bear this kind of difference?

But when you think about the 80% discount, who is willing to give it up? It’s not a loss of your own money.

If you can't bear it, you have to bear it.

These stores hanging red cloth have previously stated that they will open for business at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, that is, at nine o'clock.

So even though the sky is getting slightly brighter now, we still have to wait for an hour.

Even so, no one in line complained.

If you are unhappy, just leave. There will be many people wanting to buy.

...

Outside Fengtian Gate, hundreds of civil and military officials were already waiting here.

"Today's grand event in the capital is really rare to see. With an 80% discount, I want to go and get a chance to get it."

"You are joking, sir. Could it be that no one in your family went over to line up early?"

"Haha, the wife, housekeeper, and servants at home, except for one or two people left to guard the house, have basically all gone. How can you miss such a good thing? Let alone me. Is it possible that you didn't go?"

"Hehe, I should go, I must go. Don't miss such a good thing. My mother-in-law has been clamoring for a gold bracelet. This time, the Jinyu Tower in the capital is also discounted by 80%."

"Don't tell me, since the day before yesterday, the mother-in-law at home has been talking about it every day. She almost hears it in her ears and can't even read the book. At least she has made it to today."

"My lords, I came here from home today and almost missed the hour. This street is really too congested."

"In all the years I have been in the capital, this is the first time I have encountered such a scene. It turns out that there are so many people in our capital city. It scared me when I went out."

Even with discipline, the civil servants couldn't help but whisper. Basically, outside the Fengtian Gate, the guards didn't look too closely.

Apparently many officials were affected by the crowds on the streets of the capital when they went out before dawn.

It's just that it's a big event for officials to go to court, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division patrols on duty in the streets will open special roads for them.

Otherwise, when the time comes, more than half of the officials may not be able to make it.

This is the case for civilian officials, and it is basically the same for military attachés.

The export of goods with 80% discount has affected the entire capital.

Only some top noble ministers will not be affected.

Lan Yu and other military commanders gathered together.

Compared to the team of civil servants, it was much more casual, with Lan Yu as the center, gathering together to chat.

The guards on the city wall also turned a blind eye to this.

After all, the ones below who are the most unruly are the superiors of their own superiors. If you really want to act according to the rules, you will probably feel uncomfortable afterwards.

"Mr. Liang Guo, His Highness Changsun should officially attend the court meeting today. We have been looking forward to today for a long time."

Lan Yu laughed and said: "Don't be anxious, you will understand later. There is no need to say more now, no need to say more."

Many Huaixi honorable men understood and smiled broadly.
