Chapter 270: Embarrassment
The next day.
Early in the morning, Li Zhou went out early in the morning, this time the person who followed him was Ximen Bei, to protect Li Zhou's safety, Ke'er still had something to do in the yamen, and he couldn't accompany him, in fact, Li Zhou wanted to call Ke'er to come with him, but Ke'er couldn't look down on Li Zhou and refused directly.
To talk about those things, it's quite troublesome, it's better to go to see the silver in the yamen, it's not much, it's steady, Li Zhou is very depressed, he can only find Ximen North to come together, the two ladies said they want to come together, but Li Zhou refused, it's dangerous outside, and you can't go out casually.
This reason made the two of them completely lose their temper, so they had to stay at home, study cooking, and embroidery, and sleep when they are bored, carefree, Li Zhou is very envious of their life, sleep when they are full, and eat when they wake up, this kind of life is the life that Li Zhou dreams of, with money, a house, and a child, this is not in a hurry.
Take Ximen North out, Ximen North still has a straight face at home, a cold face that has not changed for ten thousand years, people who don't know her still think that Li Zhou offended her and stole her a few hundred taels of silver, the moment she stepped out of the door, her expression changed a little, her eyes were much gentler, and those eyes peeked at Li Zhou from time to time, this is really not Li Zhou's illusion, the longer they get along, the more he finds Ximen North more and more weird.
Very strange, he always felt a feeling of being peeed at, whenever he looked over, the dark eyes disappeared, once or twice, three or four times, this is a problem, there is also that feeling at home, after Li Zhou's screening, it was determined that Ximen Bei, but it usually looks like there is no such feeling, cold.
Several times he thought it was her, she pretended to be too cold, so cold that Li Zhou was embarrassed to speak, for fear that he would be amorous.
"Let's go."
Li Zhou had doubts in his heart, not only did the feeling not dissipate, but it became more and more intense, intense, hitting his heart, and he couldn't find anyone, Li Zhou only gave up, and walked to the street with Ximen North, the street in the morning was much more lively, compared to the previous few days, there were more people here, and there were gradually more merchants.
If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that most of the people are ethnic minorities, and the special costumes on their bodies can be seen at a glance.
Li Zhouyi passed by all the way, very satisfied with what he saw, this is the effect, the road has not been repaired, the disposal method has been modified, and there are some previous rules, prohibiting people from collecting protection fees, unified by the yamen to take care of, as long as a small amount of silver, you can seize one of the stalls, the silver is not much, only about one-twentieth of their income.
It's the price they can afford, it's much less than those who used to collect protection money privately, about only one-third, and after getting the bunk, no matter how much silver you earn, the yamen doesn't care, the yamen only cares about your safety, and there will be patrols from time to time.
Several officers and soldiers on patrol saw Li Zhou, saluted one after another, and did not dare to breathe, and only after Li Zhou completely left, they raised their heads and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the eldest brother in front said to the two novices beside him: "You give me a memory to the eldest brother, if anyone dares to collect money indiscriminately in the future, don't blame me for being unkind." ”
Righteous annihilation, that look frightened the two novices, and promised in their hearts that they didn't dare to disobey, because they also knew who the person who had just passed was who, it was a taboo in the yamen, a murderous maniac, killing people without blinking, offending him, and walking around without eating.
Li Zhou laughed slightly, this kind of street is his favorite street, there is no dirty garbage, and no one defecates anywhere, under Li Zhou's strict supervision, everyone who defecates must look for a toilet, otherwise it will be fined, after the establishment of this project, it has become the main source of income for the yamen, and everyone who comes for the first time has been fined, not much, but thousands of people add up, there are a lot.
And part of it, if you catch a person, you can draw a penny if you catch it, don't look at how little this penny is, if you catch ten, it is ten pennies, one hundred, one hundred cents, just imagine, you catch a hundred people a day, and you earn an extra hundred cents, ten days, a month, that's not a decimal, a month is three thousand dollars, three thousand dollars, three taels of silver.
It's enough for them to earn a month, so it's a fat difference, and it's clearly stipulated that adults can't trouble them, so this position has become a person who has to do it, fighting for a head and breaking the bloodstream, and finally deciding to change people once every three days, how many people can be caught, depends on your luck.
In addition to these, many charging projects have not yet begun, Fang County is still under construction, but just these few, let the Yamen solve a lot of income problems, temporarily stabilized, after this policy down, Fang County wind has changed greatly, there is no garbage on the ground, and there is no dirt on the ground.
Whether it's pulled by people or animals, there is a fee, it's not important, the important thing is that you have to find someone to clean it up, just like that, a profession is derived, cleaners, the yamen hires someone to clean up, and the silver is of course not out of the yamen, but from the shops along the road, which is called the management fee.
A lot of new regulations made many shop owners in Fang County unhappy, unwilling to pay the silver, and then I don't know where they heard that the adult is a person who kills people without blinking, without saying a word, directly handed over a year's money, and the people of the four major families, without doubt, paid the money happily.
In this way, the silver is there, the ground is clean, the atmosphere changes, the people who collect protection money are gone, and the whole harmonious scene changes, the scene changes, there are more people, the economy develops, the circulation is promoted, and it suddenly becomes lively.
"Simon, do you think there has been a big change here? If it goes on like this, I can't help but want to stay in this place. Li Zhouman said with emotion, it's only been a few days, and there are so many changes here, and in another ten days and half a month, especially after everything is ready, won't this place become a bustling city.
Li Zhou is fully confident.
Ximenbei smiled, she knew the changes here, the streets were messy, dirty, unruly, and the stalls were placed everywhere, but now they are so separated, they are much clearer, and they look much more comfortable, and these changes are brought by him.
Thinking that his eyes are fixed on Li Zhou, this man is always surprising, and there is always a charm on his body that attracts people, and she is no exception, attracted by the confidence, sunshine, and sincerity in his body, and can't extricate himself.
"He's really nice."
From the bottom of his heart, from seeing this person at the beginning, to encountering assassination together, and then a series of things later, he was so reassuring, not only reassuring, but also the people around him, and making her feel at ease.
The impetuous heart suddenly settled down and began to enjoy the hard-won happiness.
"Yes."
Nodding lightly and acknowledging Li Zhou's merits, Li Zhou looked at Ximen North with some surprise, is she praising me?
"I'll be a little embarrassed if you praise me so much." Li Zhou touched his head and pretended to be tender.
"Get out."
Ximen Bei convulsed a few times, and there was an earth-shattering crying ghost god, incomparable, unparalleled in the world, unrivaled word "roll", the power of this word can not be guessed by common sense, nor can it be judged by common sense, this is a word full of nuclear energy, once it erupts, the power is immeasurable.
Li Zhou was completely hurt, the word exploded deeply from his heart, his body shattered, his heart turned into smoke and dust, and the whole person was no longer good, half leaning on Ximenbei's body, Ximenbei's brows furrowed, and his hand pressed on the long sword.
"Zheng."
The sound of the long sword being drawn rang in Li Zhou's ears like a piercing sound, and a thunderclap came from Li Zhou's ears, deeply frightened, and quickly stood up straight from Ximen Bei, walking forward as if nothing happened, looking in all directions, just not looking at Ximen Bei.
"Poof."
Ximen Bei smiled, amused by Li Zhou's overly pretended appearance, and suddenly smiled like a flower, and the small dimples were faintly raised, which made people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
"It's beautiful."
Li Zhou was stunned, shocked by her smile, shocked by heaven, he couldn't imagine that Ximen Bei was so beautiful when he smiled, so beautiful that he didn't know how to describe it, it was beautiful that could not be described in words, this person should only be in heaven, and it is rare to see it in the world.
Ximen Bei sensed a very aggressive look, looked at herself, went up, and looked at Li Zhou, froze there, she saw the amazing admiration in Li Zhou's eyes, amazing, shocked, Li Zhou's eyes were full of her shadow, she blushed, shy, her hand relaxed gently, and the long sword was sheathed.
It's been a long time, it's been a long time, you look at me, I'm looking at you.
It was as if it had become an eternity, unbreakable.
"You ......."
"You ......."
The two spoke, and bumped into the same channel again, embarrassed, and blushed together, Li Zhou blushed because he watched others being discovered, and he was a little embarrassed, Ximenbei was shy, a feeling that had never been felt before surged from the heart, the deer collided, and the heart suddenly became energetic, and it was alive and well, and it couldn't be stopped in a short time.
"Let's talk first."
"You go first."
"You go first."
Ximen Bei was a little more polite and asked Li Zhou to say first, and Li Zhou said directly: "Okay, I'll say it first." ”
Ximen North: .......
That's not how things go, are they? Isn't it a priority for ladies? Do you still have a bit of gentlemanly demeanor?
"Let's go."
Li Zhou said directly, he couldn't continue to waste time, the two looked at each other like this, I don't know how long it would be embarrassing, it was better to leave directly.
So as not to embarrass everyone, Ximen Bei nodded, she didn't want everyone to be so embarrassed.
"Yes."
