The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 328 The Extra Story ([-])
"That's right, no matter how hard my child's father worked, he couldn't eat a few meals of fine flour and japonica rice in a month, but now he can eat one meal a day."

There are women who agree, it is very easy to live with emotion.

"That's right, not to mention japonica rice and fine noodles. In winter, there are stretches of warm sheds outside the city to find people to work. In previous years, there was no work when it snowed. My child's father was busy all winter last year, no matter how cold it was, he didn't need to wear a cotton jacket. , the wages are also generous, and they brought back half a basket of vegetables for me during the Chinese New Year. Don’t say how many years, even after a few lifetimes, no one can see green ones during the Chinese New Year.”

Another woman was also grateful, "So, I don't look at anything else, I just know that whoever brings us a good life is a good person."

"That's right. Let's live in silence. We can't believe what anyone says. We only look at the facts. Whoever treats us well is a good person."

The people are simple and honest, and they often see the truth of things through all the delusions.

Of course, at this time, the whole of Kyoto is boiling like a teapot.

It is impossible for the drinkers in the jubilant place to say a few words. Some of them were so drunk by the smell of alcohol that they forgot where they were and couldn't help talking loudly, shouting, "Which emperor is not the three thousand beauties in the harem, but the three thousand beauties in the harem?" Our emperor only dotes on the empress, which is really strange. My neighbor has a daughter who has been born beautiful since she was a child. The whole family treats her like a baby, and she also finds her husband to teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and waits for the palace to choose a concubine. At that time, I gave it to the emperor through the way of the emperor's business in my grandfather's house. If she was favored, the whole family would be prosperous. As a result, this girl has become an old lady from when the emperor was still a prince, and the palace didn't say anything. Concubine Xuan. What a pity!"

"Brother, are you sorry that the girl lost a flower in your hands?"

"That's right, haha, brother, this isn't just an injustice, it's just that I feel sorry for that girl and no one cares about her!"

The people at the same table all laughed, that person seemed to have been uncovered of his dirty thoughts, and tried his best to argue, "No, no, I am already this age, how can I miss other girls. I am just doing it for the emperor. I am sorry, there are many good women in this world, why did you marry a peasant girl, and even gave up the entire harem, let me say..."

"My guest, what do you want to say?"

The guest was about to spit, when he suddenly heard a question from behind him with a smile, he was so startled that he immediately turned his head to look, even the person at the same table laughed away in embarrassment.

It turned out that Chen Xin, who was dressed in a blue thin brocade robe, came to their table at some point. Although he had a familiar smile on his face, everyone could see the coldness in his eyes clearly.

The unrestrained guest swallowed subconsciously, digesting what he was about to say just now, and finally changed his words, "Oh, Manager Chen, it's all a joke, a joke!"

"Joke?" Chen Xin turned pale, glanced at him coldly, and asked, "If I remember correctly, the customer's surname should be Xu, and he opened a strange goods shop in the south of the city, selling goods from the grassland. Local produce, blankets, cowhide boots, and cheese, panna cotta, and occasionally toffee, right?"

"Yes, yes, I just opened a small shop. I don't want shopkeeper Chen to know so clearly. I'm really terrified, terrified!"

Beads of sweat dripped from the forehead of the guest when he heard that, he wished to slap himself a few times with regret in his heart, how could he forget that he was sitting on the territory of the Lu family.Talking about belittling other people's girls in other people's territory, this is really stupid, not to mention letting people catch them, and being exposed...

However, after thinking about it, the laws of Dayuan are strict, and this capital is under the feet of the emperor, and there are few powerful people who bully others, let alone the fact that the empress is being questioned by the whole Dayuan. It is time to cherish her reputation and get angry. I am afraid that I dare not do anything to him.

So, he straightened his stooped back again, and changed his tone, "It's Guanshi Chen. At this time, shouldn't he go to the Duke's mansion to wait for orders? Why do you have time to listen to the gossip of the little people like me?"

Everyone didn't expect him to suddenly change his tone, and they all looked over with an incredible look.

Chen Xin sneered even worse, shook his sleeves, and continued the conversation, "Yes, our Chen family is an in-law of the Duke's Mansion, and I have been trusted by the empress and entrusted me to take care of all the business, and I have been working hard. This Naturally, you can't stay out of it. Not to mention that this is due righteousness, but also the basic conscience of a person. But this guest, do you know that the things sold in your shop were originally made by the grassland people taught by the empress empress, and the empress empress You have contributed to the border trade between Dayuan and the grassland, so now you have a business to support your family and a shop to live and live. You don’t say that you are grateful for the grace of the queen’s life, but you still have such thoughts, and you are so ungrateful and slandering. Not as good as a dog!"

"You, you..." The guest was blocked and couldn't speak, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he wanted to argue but couldn't find a word for a while.

On the other hand, the people beside them thought that Chen Xin was a bit aggressive at first, but now they all felt guilty.Speaking of which, those who have the financial resources to go out to eat, especially those who sit in the Xiyangyang restaurant, are merchants except for the wealthy and aristocratic families.

Wealthy families rely on the accumulation of their ancestors, while merchants rely on the circulation of business from north to south.

Although the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty did not restrain the trade routes, they did not support them much either.What's more, there is a saying that "scholars, farmers, businessmen" are on top of their heads, and the status of merchants is the lowest.

But after Emperor Hongde came to the throne, the empress advised to open up more trade routes, not only to trade with the grassland, but even the Blue Jade Country became a place for merchants to seek gold.

Today, the Dayuan market is extremely active. Grassland dairy products, dried meat, furs, woolen blankets, sapphire ginseng, medicinal materials, specialty furs, and mines are all widely circulated in Dayuan.

Of course, Dayuan's tea, porcelain, silk, and various specialties can also be seen everywhere in sapphire and grasslands.

And behind these, it can be seen that the merchants' activities are frequent, and the profits they bring are also extremely generous.

That is to say, the person that the merchants of Dayuan should be most grateful to is the Empress.

After all, there are people who do not lack conscience, stood up and said bluntly, "What Chen Guanshi said is that the person who digs the well is not forgotten when drinking water. Others are fine. We have indeed done business without the grace of the empress. At this time, others can Questioning the empress is absolutely impossible for us. If there is evidence, we shut up and say nothing, even if we recite the kindness of the empress and pay the tribute. But now only a hanged old sacrificial wine and a letter, we can It's ridiculous to say how bad the empress is."

"Yeah, I don't think your empress is a person who harms the country and the people. If your empress is so bad, and your majesty is wise and powerful, how can you dote on your empress?"

"That makes sense."

"That's right, no one is a fool, how could he convict the queen of a country with just a few words from others."

"That's right, the empress did not stop the emperor from accepting concubines. The emperor loves empress a lot and refuses to accept concubines. How can the empress be blamed?"

All of a sudden, the wind in the entire restaurant turned sharply, and more and more people began to complain for the queen.But there are also some people who don't know why, and there are still some people who insist on thoroughly investigating the details of the empress.

The lively quarrel between the two parties gradually spread, causing the entire capital to be divided into two factions, and then rumors spread out of the capital again...

The entire Yuan Dynasty was caught in a debate and questioning because of a sacrificial wine that was hanged.

On a mountain road less than a hundred miles away from Kyoto, a carriage was wandering towards Kyoto.It is said that it is a hurry, but it is almost the same as enjoying the scenery and wandering the streets.

The hooves of the old horse driving the carriage were loose, and the young man driving the carriage was reluctant to swing the whip at the old horse. Looking at the young man's facial features, he looked quite clever. He was the little servant who was next to Lu Qian back then.

Ever since Lu Qian was appointed Tan Hua Lang, he invited him out of Beijing to practice.First, he served as a county magistrate for three years, and then served as a wind watcher, traveling almost all the prefectures, counties and towns in Dayuan.Speaking of it, it is very similar to Li Lin's errand.

For one thing, he was the first to meet the current emperor back then, and by coincidence, he was lured to his home to recover from his wounds, and only then did so many stories follow.Secondly, he is Xiaomi's elder brother, so his loyalty is naturally unmatched.

Therefore, Guanfeng Shi is similar to a secret agent, who can submit a memorial to impeach all officials below the second rank at any time, and has the power to directly dismiss all officials below the fifth rank.

Now, another three years have passed, Lu Qian missed his family, and the errands were basically completed, so he quietly rushed back without a memorial.

Gouzi set up the awning, looked into the distance, turned around and complained to the carriage, "Master, aren't you in a hurry to go home, why don't you want to go fast? It's been a month and a half!"

Before his words fell to the ground, a curled book protruded from the car window, raised the curtains, and then Lu Qian's handsome and gentle face was revealed.

"Kyoto is right there, why worry?"

"Of course you can't do it while sitting in the car. I'm as tanned as charcoal. If this continues, how can I marry a wife!"

Gouzi complained, avoiding another knock on the head.

Lu Qian scolded with a smile, "When you came by my side, you were like black charcoal. It's all my fault. If you're not tired, just leave quickly, find a place to have a cup of tea, and find a place to live. Hurry up tomorrow and the next day, and come in." It's Kyoto."

"Okay!" Hearing the master's words at last, the dog also regained his spirits, flicked the whip and urged the old horse to scatter its hooves, and ran very fast.

In less than half an hour, the carriage arrived outside a town.

An old couple set up a tea stall on the side of the road. Their grandson was playing in front of the door with his bare buttocks in a bellyband. A caravan also passed by for a rest. The busy old couple had no time to take care of their grandson.

Gouzi is really good at driving the car. Seeing the child stumbling towards him, he pulled the rein in time.

Lu Qian jumped out of the car and hugged the child. Seeing his chubby face and blinking big eyes, he remembered that the child at his sister's house must be so cute, so he felt warm inside, and stretched out his hand to take the half box of snacks left in the car. Just take it out and feed it to the kids.
