Chu Shuhuang worked tirelessly in the Anguo Mansion to practice martial arts, and his speed, strength, and sensitivity have been greatly improved. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Chu Shuhuang breathed a long sigh of relief, what she was most worried about was that she didn't have the talent to practice martial arts, although the people around her kept praising her, she still didn't believe it, and now she saw her achievements and hope.

On the other side, Hua Chang couldn't help but praise Chu Shuhuang in her heart, such a bitterness, few delicate little girls really can't stand it. I have my current achievements, and I know most clearly what I have paid, although Chu Shuhuang is not angry these days, but he has no intention of retreating, if he can always maintain this spirit, he may be really good in the future.

These days, the court appeased Su Zihe, and at the same time gave Sang Guo a tough and polite reply. Although Sang Guo was unwilling, the war was not a trivial matter, and the 200,000 troops in Jinggu Pass were like a rainbow, and in the end they could only stop it.

The drought in the south of the Yangtze River finally couldn't withstand the impact of the rainy season, and after the rain made a complete confession to the earth, he had no choice but to leave. There was a new problem in the court, the treasury was not abundant, and most of the people had no food to grow.

There was a thunderclap on the ground, which shook the busy courtiers and the people in the streets.

The evil monks of the Bei'en Temple in Yuncheng are abducted and deceived, bullying men and women, and harming the people.

After Chu Shuhuang heard the news, he relaxed his mind and dealt with his own affairs as if nothing happened. Hua Chang had long since disappeared, and Chu Shuhuang had to be busy and listen to the wind outside. Although the Chu Emperor of this dynasty did not advocate Buddhism, the followers of the Hundred Years of Obscene Buddhism were extensive, and if one was not handled well, it might cause civil riots.

And with such an opportunity, why don't the Su family take the opportunity to do something?

Chu Shuhuang didn't dare to touch Buddhism, what she proposed was to punish the evil people hiding in the temple, and help the temple manage its finances by the way. The people are the direct victims of these wicked people, and this is the most acceptable way for believers to act.

In less than two days, the people in the streets and alleys were already talking, and the ministers in the court were also arguing. Some people suggested that the eldest prince would be punished for disrespecting the Buddha like this; Some people retorted: Buddhism has five precepts, no killing, no stealing, no adultery, and no lying, which are the basic precepts of Buddhist disciples, and they should be observed regardless of whether they are monks or at home. Buddhism also has ten virtues: not killing, not stealing, not committing adultery, not lying, not double-tongued, not speaking evilly, not patting horses, not being greedy, not being angry, and not deviating from the Dharma. May I ask which of these evil monks in robes has done it, such a person can also be called a disciple of the Buddha, please don't defile the Buddha!

Every day, the Criminal Department will post the crimes of the evil monks who have been punished, and the support of the people has been rising wave after wave, and the confiscated "stolen goods" have also alleviated the disaster in Jiangnan, and the voice of opposition has gradually disappeared.

……

In the city's agriculture and industry, although the status of businessmen is the lowest, but which businessman and which shop is not backed by a big tree, the better the business, the harder the backstage.

The relationship between the business world is also inextricably linked, and with the noble status of a princess, it is easy to open two small shops and earn a few small bucks. If you rush in and want to get a big cake, hehe, you will lose very badly. Fortunately, Chu Shuhuang's purpose is to prosper the Chu State, and he doesn't have to get the money into his own pocket.

After thinking about it, Chu Shuhuang decided to start with the warehouse and the carriage and horse shop, and slowly infiltrated. Since it is infiltration, it is better to be quiet, most of the guards of the forbidden army who follow are children of families, and no matter how bad they are, they are also born in official eunuchs, they dare not talk nonsense, but who doesn't have some vital interests?

So, this became Yuan Cheng Yuanguang's first errand.

Next to the poor area to the south, next to the Yan River embankment, there is a market called Nanshi. Suzaku Street and the Yan River are the prosperous places of the capital, where the noble merchants buy and sell, and the daily needs of the poor people are purchased in the south market. In addition, there are not only poor and lowly children to buy and sell in this southern market, but also degraded official slaves, and even some livestock such as mules, horses, cattle and sheep.

The area near the Yanhe River in Nanshi is where the warehouse of the capital is located, except for those precious items that are specially transported, the vast majority of the goods of foreign merchants are stored here, and the shops in the capital are also looking for sources here.

The largest of these merchants is the Gao family, the Gao family not only has a warehouse but also a South Road car and horse shop, after two generations of the Gao family's operation, in the Jiangnan area, the reputation is very great, and the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are also willing to store the goods in the Gao family's warehouse. As for the backers of the Gao family, most of them are some scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, and most of the officials who are filial to the capital are the children of these families, and their rank is not too high.

In addition, there is a more special one, that is, the Zhang family, and the Zhang family also has a carriage and horse line on the East Road, until Yongping City at the foot of Jinggu Pass. A daughter of the Zhang family was favored by a side branch of the Su family and became a concubine, so the Zhang family has been very arrogant in the past two years.

The other four or five warehouses are not as good as these two, and they can barely support it.

After listening to the news collected by Guangyuan Guangcheng, Chu Shuhuang had a rough idea in his heart, and praised the two of them to rest. The next day, Chu Shuhuang changed into men's clothes, a red and dark flower auspicious cloud pattern robe, at first glance, he was the son of a rich family, and it was not so dazzling. He used dark powder to decorate his face again, and Yun Ruo took it, and quietly got into the carriage prepared in the back street, and Yuan Guang Yuancheng followed in disguise.

Near the poor area, there is a straw hat alley parallel to the upper street, which is considered part of the southern market, and the alley is lined with people selling vegetables, bustling with people selling vegetables.

Further inside, it is the only "human market" in the capital. It was still chaotic and complicated, flanked by ragged children and young girls, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and a straw on their heads. In such a scene, Chu Shuhuang's heart was sour, and his steps were dull.

"Give Childe a gift, Childe, do you want to buy someone, you look at how it is over there, it's all trained." Immediately, a middle-aged woman bowed her hand and came up to talk.

Chu Shuhuang turned his head to look at the woman, dressed in neat coarse cloth clothes, she was a rare decent person in this messy bazaar, looking at Chu Shuhuang with expectant eyes, with a courteous smile on her face. In the direction of the woman's finger, there was a crowd of people of different heights, mostly young children, and their clothes were neater.

Chu Shuhuang ignored the woman and continued to walk forward, but the sourness in his heart was beaten a lot by this person, and his thoughts were also alive. Along the way, there were constantly toothed people coming up to talk, introducing various businesses, Chu Shuhuang listened while walking, slowly and leisurely wandering around Nanshi. There is bargaining, scrambling to stop, all kinds of excitement do not miss, after a circle, and then pick up a neater teahouse to sit down to drink tea.

There are a lot of people sitting in the teahouse, most of them are merchants and traders in the south market, and everyone is very lively. Chu Shuhuang chose a window position, listened to everyone's chat, observed the situation in the market, and did not say a word all afternoon, until the market closed at the end of the year, and then left leisurely.
