Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

Biyue was sleeping soundly in bed, not knowing what time it was. She woke up slowly, pulled out the alarm clock and saw that it was already half past ten in the morning. She stretched, went to the bathroom outside to wash her face, and then came back to comb her hair.

Xiaomai and Chen Chun saw the young lady open the door and ran in, asking, "Young lady, you worked hard last night. You just got up at this time today. You must be exhausted!"

Chen Chun said apologetically, "Miss, it's a pity that I can't help you. You have to go out alone every time."

"It's kind of Chen Chun to want to help me. I've been very busy lately and don't have time to check how your martial arts are going."

"I get up at 11:00 a.m. every morning and practice martial arts for an hour. If you don't believe me, ask Sister Xiaomai."

"Miss, Chen Chun works very hard and has already completed the elementary exercises. She also said that when you are done with your work, she will practice the intermediate exercises."

"In the courtyard outside, I will test Chen Chun. If you pass, I will immediately give you the intermediate skills and Qinggong."

The three of them arrived at an open space outside, and Chen Chun began to demonstrate his martial arts. His movements were smooth and powerful, and it was no problem for him to deal with one or two adult men. He also demonstrated his lightness skills, and flew from the yard to the roof in a flash, and then flew down from the roof.

Bi Yue was very satisfied and felt that the child was very hardworking. "Well, Chen Chun works very hard, very good. Now I will give you the intermediate skills and Qinggong.

He took out two jade tablets from his arms and placed them between Chen Chun's eyebrows. She immediately received the two kinds of skills in her mind and jumped up with joy.

Bi Yue looked at her and thought that she was so lively and cute, which was what a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl should look like. Although her body was only about fourteen years old, her soul was that of an adult in her thirties. She always behaved very calmly and did not look like a young girl. There was no way to change her personality.

"Miss, Sister Xiaomai went to the military camp this morning. Many soldiers went out of the city today. Chen Chen, Luo Chen, General Lin, and General Liu led 8000 cavalrymen to Black Mountain City. Sister Xiaomai thought you were still sleeping, so she didn't go with them. I didn't go. I stayed at home the whole time, worried that no one would serve you when you got up."

"Thank you both for being so thoughtful. Yan Zhiqiang of Black Mountain City is always hiding inside and won't come out. We can't keep fighting him like this in Shangyou City. The people of Dachang Country are looking forward to the end of this war. We must resolve this matter as soon as possible."

"Miss, your analysis is correct. This is not a solution. The army needs to provide food and grass for so many people. If you are not here, what do you think we should do?"

"The three of us will first inspect the shops on the street, and then go to the military camp in the west city."

"Okay, miss."

The three of them walked to the shops in the south of the city. This was the busiest place in the city. There were many shops on the street, all open to welcome and see off customers. There was an endless stream of people coming to buy things.

Maybe because it didn't snow in the past two days, the streets were cleaned very well, and there were more pedestrians on the road than usual. People were coming and going on the streets, selling things, setting up stalls, shouting, selling food, and bargaining. It was quite lively. Prices in the city were stable, the military and civilians were united, everyone lived in harmony, and everyone in the city was very satisfied.

I went to a grocery store first and looked at the prices of the goods in the store. They were the lowest in the whole Changping State and the business was very good. The shop assistants were busy helping customers pick up and pack goods. When they saw the young lady and two maids come in, the shopkeeper hurried forward to greet them.

Bi Yue said to the two shop assistants, "You guys just stay busy and don't worry about me. Boss, come in for a moment." The three of them walked to the back of the shop while talking.

"Miss, business has been good these days. My two assistants and I are very busy in the store."

Bi Yue said to him, "Are there enough goods in the warehouse at the back? If not, Chen Chun will come over at ordinary times. You hand the account book to her, and she will send someone to replenish the goods for you."

"Got it, miss. I'll get busy then."

After the shopkeeper entered the store, Biyue went with two maids to see the clothing store and the cloth store. The store was very large and was divided into men's and women's clothing areas.

There are cloths of various colors on the counter in front, many of which are floral cloths ordered through the system. They have modern elements combined with ancient characteristics, so the patterns of the cloths are novel, which not only attracts wealthy people in the city to patronize frequently, but also ordinary people come to buy a few feet to make clothes.

The store hired eight people and a general manager. The store mainly sells clothes for all seasons. Now it is winter, and the main products are cotton-padded coats and trousers, cloth and cotton, as well as shoes and socks, underwear, etc.

The three of them went in and saw that there were quite a few people inside. Mainly because the prices were cheap, even many soldiers in the army came here to buy thermal underwear?

When they arrived at the back of the clothing store, the head shopkeeper saw the boss coming and hurried to the back, "Miss, you are here. Business in the store is very good."

"Well, I saw it. The main reason is that the price is cheap. My main goal is to sell at a low profit but quick turnover, so that everyone can wear warm clothes. This is the original intention of opening a store. If there is a shortage of goods, you can give the account book to Chen Chun when she comes to the store.

She will tell me what is missing, and then send someone to bring the missing goods over. You just need to sell them. If everyone performs well, I will give you red envelopes based on the sales results and profits. You just need to work hard."

"Thank you, Miss. We will do our best. Don't worry!"

After the three of them inspected both stores, they went to the military camp and arrived at the meeting hall.

Han Shaoqing saw Bi Yue and the other two come in, and hurriedly asked Bi Yue to sit down, and said to her, "I did as you said, and sent two generals, Chen Chen, Luo Chen and others with 8000 cavalry out today.

The main purpose was to tell Yan Zhiqiang, the chief general of Heishan City, to let their emperor write a letter of surrender and hand over Jingguo in three days. If he did not listen to the advice,

We will attack their cities one by one and flatten their country. We will only give them three days to let General Lin shoot the surrender letter onto the city wall with an arrow. "

"That's good. Three days is enough. They must have carrier pigeons. If their king and ministers refuse to listen and resist stubbornly, we will attack without holding back."

"Biyue, I have another piece of good news for you. The two blueprints you gave to the weapons department have basically been made for the Zhuge Crossbow and can be used. The earth bomb is a little slower, so I told them not to worry too much and to be careful.

“That’s good. Our soldiers will minimize casualties when fighting on the front lines.

After chatting for an hour, Bi Yue and the other two said goodbye to Han Shaoqing and went back. They might not come back until the evening.
