Daxingcheng as the capital of the Great Sui, the first metropolis in the northwest, has a very large population, but due to the departure of the Guanlong nobles, resulting in the loss of population in Guanzhong, coupled with the large number of slaves of the Guanlong nobles were scattered by Yang Tong to the counties and counties of Yongliang, resulting in the population of Daxingcheng is far less than the 600,000 at the peak, but it also has about 300,000, in order to facilitate the people to shop, Yang Tong simply occupied the entire Zhaoguofang Chongji Temple, Jinchangfang Ci'en Temple bulldozed, opened up into Daxingnan City, Yongyangfang occupied by the solemn temple also bulldozed into Yongyang City.

The addition of Nanshi and Yongyang City is very convenient for the people in the south of the city, and when shopping, there is no need to detour most of the Daxing City, and the people regard it as convenient and good governance.

If you want to say unhappy, I'm afraid there are only fake monks who are forced to return to the vulgar, there are twenty-eight large-scale temples in Daxing City in the past, and most of them occupy the whole place, and now only Jingshanfang Daxingshan Temple remains, but for Taoists, the impact is not great, because in the entire Daxing City, only the Xuandu view that has a scale only accounts for the entire Chongye Fang, and the rest are not enough.

Now there is one of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism in Daxingcheng, across the Vermilion Bird Street, but the reputation of Buddhism is corrupted by too many thieves and monks, when all kinds of appalling cases are exposed by the government one by one, resulting in the bankruptcy of Buddhism's credibility, and the people of the world are used as a place to hide dirt and dirt, and it is precisely because of this that although the scale of Daxingshan Temple is larger than the Xuandu Temple, but the people no longer believe in them, except for a few pious Buddhists, several of their own people come to burn incense. As the days are sad day by day, not only no one is a monk, but because the court set up according to the Buddhist concept that monks are not allowed to have land, monks cannot eat meat, monks cannot please wives, monks cannot be extravagant, monks cannot break precepts and many other "can'ts", so that some monks who are not firm in their will cannot endure and return to the vulgar.

Of course, Taoism, which has also suffered from the reputation of thieves and Taoists, is not much better, but Taoism has never been brilliant for more than a hundred years, and it is like this, not good, no matter how bad it is, it doesn't matter at all.

But no matter what, the elitism of Buddhism and Taoism is inevitable, this is the general trend, and no one can change it.

What's even worse is that the rules and regulations set up by Yang Tong for various religions such as Buddhism and Taoism are the only forbidden laws that the Great Sui currently has, and even if Yang Tong is no longer in the future, it must be enforced. If a certain generation of emperors forcibly deposed these terms, the children of the contemporary imperial family, civil and military officials, and local counties could raise an army openly and overthrow them, so that a certain generation of emperors in the future would not dare to take the huge risk of attacking these prohibitions if they believed in Buddhism and Taoism.

When encountering such a dynasty, after a few generations, there are still two theories about whether there are monks or not. Now there are only two ways left for Buddhism, either shrink up and become a turtle and watch the number of monks decrease day by day, or grit your teeth and encourage the Buddhists to rebel.

But who would dare to rebel?

If the reputation of Buddhism is still there, there may really be people who take risks to be with Buddhism, but Buddhism is now stinky streets, at this time, if anyone climbs high and shouts, pulls the banner to rebel, I am afraid that there is no need for the ten major legions to come forward, and the local people will chop him up and feed the dogs, so to speak, in fact, there is only one way, that is, to follow the laws of the imperial court to go, don't pretend to be a god and make ghosts, let alone occupy the mountain as the king, put the money in the seal, and poison the people.

No matter how unwilling the monks in Daxing City are, no one pays attention to them, and the people at this moment are busy preparing for the New Year's goods, even if they buy incense, candles, and paper money, it is also to honor their parents and ancestors who worked hard to raise themselves, not the Buddha who has nothing to do.

Although there are four cities in Daxing City, they are still as different as before. Due to the proximity of Daxing Palace and Xingqing Palace, there are many royal nobles and dignitaries in the surrounding squares, so the city is "full of treasures from all directions, all accumulated", and the goods operated are mostly high-class luxury goods to meet the needs of the royal nobles and dignitaries.

Although the four cities in the east and north of the west market, which are symmetrical with the east market, also have the honors and nobles, they are much less than the surrounding areas of the west city, and the surrounding areas are mainly common people's residences, and most of the goods operated in the market are clothes, candles, cakes, medicines and other daily necessities, of course, there are some luxury goods on sale, but most of the goods here are for the ordinary people, so the passenger flow is far more than that of the east market, and it is the most important commercial and economic activity center in Daxing City, so it is also called the "gold market".

Xishi is close to Jinguangmen, the starting point of the Silk Road, and there are many Hu merchants living in the surrounding areas, making it an international trade market. Some Hu merchants who traveled back and forth between the Great Sui and the Western Regions for a long time also set up shops in the Western Market, such as Persian mansions, jewelry stores, warehouses and wine stores. Many of the orchid wine shops for which many girls from the Western Regions sang and danced and served wine were frequented by merry people.

As for the newly added Nanshi and Yongyang cities, they are bazaars dedicated to serving ordinary people, and the value and grade of the goods sold have further declined.

To put it simply, one of the four cities is a high-end market, the other is a mid-end market, and the new two cities focus on low-end goods and serve a large number of ordinary people.

The north of the West Market is close to Jinguangmen Avenue, convenient to enter and exit, and the flow of people is bustling, especially the Persian Mansion that occupies the North Gate, which is the golden treasure of the West Market, with more than 30 buildings inside, selling exotic things, and the shops of Hu merchants are also concentrated here.

Youfenglaiyi's new store is also here now.

Before, Youfeng Laiyi only had one store in Daxing in Dongshi, but after the green daisy and soap were handed over to them for sale, Jiang Fengyi adhered to Yang Tong's concept of fighting Persian Luodai, so she bought the best courtyard in the Persian Mansion from the official at a high price, and fought a price war with Hu Shang nearby.

As soon as Qing Dai Fu went on the market, she killed Hu Shang Luodai with the advantage of good quality and low price, although she also bought soap here, but this is a mass-produced thing, the purpose is to benefit the people of the world, the price is not ridiculously expensive, as long as the average person is ruthless, they can afford it.

The goods used by Jiang Fengyi to make money are undoubtedly soaps that take the boutique route, soap is a commodity used to make women's money, the soap poured out of the mold is very exquisite, the overall shape is a heart, one side is a floating flower branch, and the other side is the beautiful and romantic "heart to heart" four art words, the woman was attracted by its shape and fragrance at a glance.

Cow frankincense soap, pearl soap, mung bean soap, lavender soap, chrysanthemum soap, ginseng soap, rouge soap and other kinds of soap because of the "low" output, scarce and expensive, all sold to the sky-high price of fifteen gold coins, for the time being, smelling business opportunities of Hu merchants as the main consumers, the rich and noble families of the Great Sui only account for thirty percent of the goods at most, after all, thrift is a traditional virtue, even if rich, few people are willing to spend fifteen gold coins to buy such a thing.

This also happens to be the intention of Yang Tong's low-yield soap, although porcelain and silk and other goods have always been hard currency in the international market, but the price in the country is not high, compared with the jewelry, spices and other luxury goods brought by Hu Shang, there is no competitiveness at all, people only need a longan-sized snail, you can exchange for a car of exquisite silk, and a silk manpower, material resources and time are counted, there is really not much money, so a large number of unique luxury goods are needed to smooth out this gap, and then through the hands of Hu Shang, These luxuries are used to plunder the wealth of various countries, and for the time being, only hand-carved artworks such as soap, fine wine, heroic spirits, glass handicrafts, gold, silver, copper and jade are considered unique luxuries.

Although he could also earn Hu Shang's money, compared to the war, Yang Tong always felt that the money came too slowly.

When he was entrusted by the imperial court to come to the Persian Mansion in disguise to negotiate with Jiang Fengyi, he saw that only Youfeng Laiyi and one of the dozens of shops were state-owned businessmen, and his face was even more ugly.

He walked into the shop, and the coal fire burning in the fireplace made people feel as if they had stepped into a warm spring and autumn from the bitter winter, and the cold snow was flying outside, and the house was as warm as spring.

As soon as his mind turned, Yang Tong understood, this must be one of the characteristics of Jiang Fengyi's transformation, this woman can achieve this step of the customer-oriented service concept, but she is quite smart, maybe she can open Youfeng Laiyi to various counties in the future.

The store was full of people coming and going, the people were noisy, the business was unexpectedly good, more than a dozen palace maids who had retired from the palace were sweating back and forth, and the two branch shopkeepers were busy collecting money and looking for money at the counter, and they couldn't even lift their heads.

Most of the customers waiting for settlement in a row carried several boxes of indigo. It can be seen that the green daisy used to hit the snail dai market has achieved the expected results, and it is selling very hot, and there are also some teenagers dressed in splendid clothes holding exquisite boxes of soap, which seem to be bought to please the person they like, or a big star of a certain green house.

It's Jiang Fengyi, a ghost girl, who can't even see the shadow of a ghost, can't she hide on purpose, right?

"Envoy, are you here to find Shopkeeper Jiang?" Just as Yang Tong was about to find an inquiry, a young girl stepped forward and saluted.

"Exactly." Yang Tong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, that girl was shrewd and capable, after she blasted Yang Shidao and Ling Jing away, she must have guessed that she was coming, so she sent someone to wait in advance.

"Please come with the little maid." The maid didn't ask where Yang Tong came from, so she was leading Yang Dong to the backyard.

The twenty guards with knives who followed suit showed that the people who came were extraordinary, which was very consistent with what Jiang Fengyi said about the distinguished guests.

This yard is not big, only two rows of houses before and after, there is a delicate garden in the middle, the garden has a clear spring, forming a small lake, surrounded by old plums, the flowers are blooming, the rockery in the lake has built an octagonal wind pavilion, connected with the lakeside with a jade bridge, although the garden is small, but the layout is unique, it seems quiet and beautiful.

"*** sister, the distinguished guest has arrived." The maid took Yang Tong to the three-story main building and slammed the door to report.

"I'm on the second floor, let him come by himself." Jiang Fengyi's soft and beautiful voice came from inside.

"Envoy, please." The maid pushed open the door and motioned for Yang Tong to enter.

"You're waiting outside." Yang Tong confessed and paced in.

"Whoa." The guards glanced at each other and immediately scattered everywhere, as Yang Dong's guards, they also heard Jiang Fengyi's voice, but they didn't have to worry about Yang Dong's safety.

Yang Tong walked into it and found that the fireplace was also burning, perhaps because of the small space, it was like a Mayday inside.

"This woman is not afraid of drunken charcoal poisoning?" Yang Tong muttered in his heart and went straight to the second floor.

At first glance, it is breathtaking.

I thought that this was a backyard with a Fenglaiyi branch and a temporary office, so it would be simpler and simpler, but the fact made Yang Tong breathtaking.

This is a small living room separated by four parallel jade screens, the screens are all naturally formed mountains and clouds, one side of the foot is three zhang long iron pear wood natural table with Han copper big flower goose, inserted with two branches of bright and dark fragrance floating red plum, a gluttonous bronze tripod squatting on a few emitted wisps of refreshing sandalwood.

There was a set of jade tea sets on the jade coffee table in the middle, and what made Yang Tong even more speechless was that in the center was a long scroll of "Spring River Flower and Moonlight Night", which was printed with his jade seal and treasure seal.

No wonder I can't find this letter, it turned out that this ghost woman was gone, and it was blatantly hanging here.

There is no splendid vulgarity in the whole flower hall, but it shows a luxurious and noble restrained temperament everywhere.

His eyes moved, and Yang Tong only felt his scalp explode.

Jiang Fengyi walked out from behind with a tray in her hand, covered by pink light yarn, the fit palace dress tightly wrapped her ripe body, outlining attractive curves, and a pair of bare feet that were as white as freshly peeled boiled eggs were very eye-catching.

Yang Tong's mouth was dry, and he was a little difficult to parry.

Of course, it's not that Jiang Fengyi is seducing him, her outfit is actually very common in summer, and the flower hall is as warm as early summer, so it is reasonable to wear it in this environment.

The key is that other women are tightly wrapped in a winter, and men's eyes are lonely and hungry for a winter.

Yang Tong has to admit that this ghost woman understands men's hearts very well, and she is also good at grasping the scale, and she doesn't need to deliberately how, she can use time, heaven and earth, and people to create a heart-pounding and amazing beauty.

If she goes to Pingkangfang to open a green building, it is estimated that many of them will go out of business for her.

"Yang Renjin, aren't you hot?" Jiang Fengyi's tone of speech was very natural, not at all restrained by her outfit, and it was exactly the same as she usually spoke.

"It's no wonder that you lit the fire so hot!" Yang Tong took off his robe and hung it on the hanger, where there was a thick cotton robe from Jiang Fengyi.

Jiang Fengyi saw two clothes of the same color tightly together, although her face was as calm as water, but a trace of tenderness unconsciously flashed in her eyes.

When Yang Tong turned around, he sat on the small stool in front of the coffee table, wrapped the purple sand handle in the tray with a thick cloth, and poured boiling water into the teapot.

After that, lift the teapot, pour the teacup over the first tea soup, refill the boiling water, pour the tea in the cup into the wooden barrel next to it with the tea tong, repour the two teacups, and then pick up one teacup with your fingers.

Jade hands, green cups, tea soup...... Slowly to the rosy lips, flowing water, elegant and picturesque.

Jiang Fengyi took a sip of tea soup, put down the teacup, and a smile bloomed on her ruddy face: "What kind of fire do you mean by fire?" ”

"Naturally, it's a fire in the fireplace." Yang Tong smiled and took a sip of tea, "Otherwise, what kind of fire do you think?" ”

"It's the father of nine children, what are you pretending to be innocent?" The tip of her pink tongue licked her lips lightly, Jiang Fengyi stared at Yang Tong and said disdainfully: "Men are like stone pestles for pounding rice, women are like stone mortars, the two are interdependent and indispensable." Therefore, it is a natural thing for a girl to love. You have been fighting for life and death for so many years, ostensibly for the sake of the Great Sui River, but in the final analysis, it is beauty, food and wine, if you don't enjoy it now, wait for another thirty or forty years, even if you meet a beautiful woman who meets once in a thousand years, it is estimated that you have a strong heart. It's better to enjoy yourself in time when you are young and vigorous. Thousands of Alluring beauties add up, how can they not be weaker than a beautiful woman in the world? ”

"Do you think that's the truth?" Jiang Fengyi put her hands on the coffee table, leaned forward slightly, and chuckled: "The ancients said that 'a gentleman hides his utensils in his body and moves when the time comes', if you can move now, it will be too late in the future......

She was dressed coolly, which was nothing, but now that she lowered her body, she suddenly burst into spring, and Yang Tong's cold sweat came out, "Please be punctual, okay?" ”

Jiang Fengyi blinked: "Is it big?" ”

"It's huge!" Yang Tong realized that it was too late when he leaked his mouth, and quickly said with a serious face, "I'm talking about this big teapot." ”

"What do you think this big teapot looks like?" Jiang Fengyi gently pushed the teapot towards Yang Tong and asked with a smile.

At a glance, Yang Tong instantly embarrassed.

The teapot and the dots on the lid are quite vivid...

Yang Tong thought that this unrestrained manager was unrestrained enough, but now it seems that he is simply unrestrained and inhumane! He smiled bitterly and said, "Stop playing, I'm looking for you to talk about business." ”

"Gutsless rats!" Jiang Fengyi glanced at Yang Tong, she also knew that she couldn't tease anymore, otherwise something would have to happen.

After sitting upright again, Zhengse said: "After those two worthless guys were blown away by me, I knew that they were looking for you to complain, and I also felt that you would talk to me, but I didn't expect you to really come; As a generation of emperors, you are so cheap? ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yang Tong was a little puzzled.

Jiang Fengyi glanced at Yang Tong deeply, her long eyelashes trembled, and she said softly: "Everyone knows that the battle of life and death in the Sui and Tang dynasties will take place after the beginning of spring, and everyone knows that the Great Sui will win and the pseudo-Tang will be defeated. For the Li family, who was struggling to survive, failure meant the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, and there was no room for retraction. They can't beat the Great Sui in the open, but they don't want to die, so they can only hide in the shadows and use all means to deal with you and get rid of you. Daxing City itself is the power center of the Guanlong aristocracy, even the two emperors of Wenwu also have to retreat from the edge, in Luoyang to build a real national capital, now although they have been hit many fatal blows, but there must be Li Yuan's dead soldiers in Daxing City, plus the recent mixed fish, there must be a lot of sneaks. These poisonous snakes are always watching Daxing Palace, and if your whereabouts are exposed, they will definitely assassinate them at all costs. ”

Yang Tong laughed: "I know this, there are also my guards in this dark place." ”

"Don't worry!" Jiang Fengyi was anxious: "You must know that you are different from the past, not only the soul of the army, the supreme of the Great Sui, but also the father of several children, and the elders to take care of, as well as ...... In short, you have to cherish your body, everything is important to protect yourself, and don't be a hero like before. ”

The concern and affection between the words are so thick that they are almost inseparable.

Yang Tong is not a stubborn stone and rotten wood, how can he not feel it? It's just that while it's warm, it's inevitable to sigh.

In fact, just as Jiang Fengyi was worried about this, Li Yuan not only sent the most powerful 'One Eye', but also recruited many outlaws to infiltrate Daxing, but the leader of the team was precisely the Black Ice Platform warriors inserted by Han Zhi'an, and the reason why he hadn't made a move yet was that he hoped to lure all the dead out, and then wipe them all out and never suffer from future troubles.

"You know, I don't care about money, the so-called debt is just, it's just a reason to talk to you." Jiang Fengyi's voice became lower and lower, lower and lower, burying her head deep in her chest, and the bold words that she usually couldn't help but be able to help but be a way of communication to some extent, but when it came to herself, she still couldn't let go of it after all, and the sound of almost mosquitoes might not be able to be heard if it weren't for Yang Dong's keen five senses.

"I know you don't care about the money at all, and it doesn't matter how you joke with me, but it's a bit of a big deal for you to resist taxes. So big that I had to risk my life to come and talk to you. Yang Tong took a sip of tea and sighed lightly: "Governing the country according to law is the core rule of my Great Sui, and it is also the soul of the Great Sui, and I can have a strong cohesion in the Great Sui, it is because the officials at all levels of the Great Sui have absolute credibility and authority among the people, and the people believe in the government, so that they will accept all kinds of decrees of the imperial court, so that many new policies can be implemented unhindered." If your small act of resisting taxes sets a precedent, some of the nobles who opened stores will also take you as the standard, and they have followed suit, once it evolves to this point, we have worked hard for many years, and the reputation we have established will be ruined, and the people of the world will ignore the law and discipline, and the cases of murder and arson, rape, robbery and abduction will spread throughout the territory with the momentum of the fire. ”

"Is it that serious?" Jiang Fengyi's political talent is not weak, but her temperament is dictated, and she usually doesn't care much about these, let alone participate in them.

"It's so serious, otherwise, why would I kill so many corrupt officials? Isn't it to maintain the dignity of the Great Sui Law? Isn't it just to make the people continue to believe in the government? ”

"Then I won't make trouble, I will pay the fine in accordance with the regulations." Jiang Fengyi knew that she was scared, and she asked again: "But Renjin, isn't the family gate valve finished?" ”

"It's just the performance of the family gate, in fact, it's not finished at all. Taking the Cui family as an example, the ancestor of the Cui family was Jiang Shang of Zhou, and when it was passed to the Duke of Qi Ding, the eldest son Jiang Jizi should attack the duke, but he did not accept it and gave way to his younger brother Shu Yi. After Shu Yi succeeded to the throne, he rewarded him with the place around Cui Yi as a food town. Since then, Ji Zi's descendants have lived in Cui Yi, and later took the name Cui as a surname, thus becoming a person surnamed Cui. After the surname Cui was obtained, he held important official positions in the Qi State for generations, and was one of the families of ministers at that time. For example, Cui Zhu, the eighth grandson of Jizi, was a powerful minister of Qi and had monopolized the power of the court for many years. During the Qin Dynasty, Cui Yiru, a descendant of Cui Zhu, was named the Marquis of Donglai. After entering the Han Dynasty, Cui Yiru's eldest son Cui Ye took this title and settled in Qinghe. Cui Zhongmu, the younger brother of Cui Ye, lives in Boling, and is known as Qinghe Cui's and Boling's Cui's in history. Due to the multiplication of the two branches of people surnamed Cui, coupled with the migration of eunuchs and other reasons, the surname Cui was further divided into Zhengzhou Cui's, Yanling Cui's, Qizhou Cui's, Qingzhou Cui's, as well as Qinghe Dafang Cui's, Qinghe Xiaofang Cui's, Boling Dafang Cui's, Boling's second room Cui's, Boling's third room Cui's, Nanzufang Cui's and so on. Fanyang Lu's family is also from the surname Jiang, Longxi Li and Zhaojun Li are derived from the descendants of Sun Gaotao, and the ancestor of the Hedong Pei family is the ancestor of Yingqin... If these big surnames are gathered now, I am afraid that each surname can form an army of hundreds of thousands, how do you say they can finish it? ”

Yang Tong glanced at Jiang Fengyi and continued: "The most good thing about the family gate valve is to be a grandson when the wind is headwind, and an ancestor when the wind is downwind. And as long as the family gate valve exists for one day, the situation of great unification will not be stable for a day. At present, the peak of the Great Sui Empire is inviolable, and those family lords shrank up as turtles, supporting the rule of the Great Sui more than ordinary people. But once the law is corrupted, those family lords who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic will take advantage of the huge population base to fan the flames and play right and wrong in various counties and counties. ”

"Why do they like troubled times so much?" Jiang Fengyi's sideburns were long and long, and her eyes full of aura were vaguely full of majesty.

"Only by stabilizing the chaos can they profit from it. Once there is an obvious loophole in the empire, it will not hesitate to turn today's Great Sui Dynasty into a chaotic situation in which the world is divided and the world is reversed. No one is better at these things than they are. ”

"For generations, the family did not want the world to be peaceful, because the peace of the world meant that the imperial power was stable, and they could compete for a lot less interests and power. Only the turbulent and turbulent times in the world are the innate conditions for them to seize the greatest benefits. The interests of the family gate valve are always contrary to the imperial power, and even more contrary to the well-being of the people... Even many times, in order to mess up the world, they do not hesitate to regard the children of the clan as outcasts, and let these outcasts poison the local people in the name of imperial officials, so that the local people completely despair of the empire. and then threw out a few abandoned sons to instigate the people to rebel, the previous Fan Yang Lu Mingyue, Bohai Gao Shida, Bohai Gao Kaidao, Longxi Li Rail, Xiao Xiao, Jiangnan Shen Faxing, and Li Zitong, who turned to Jiangnan, is a side branch of the Li family of Zhao County, all these anti-thieves are all chess pieces supported by major surnames, but in the end they lost control. As for Dou Jiande, who later became the leader of the Hebei League, he was actually funded by Fanyang Lu's family, Ercui's family, Bohai Gao's family, and Zhaojun Li's family. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Tong continued: "If you want to eliminate the influence of the family gate, only Yixue and the imperial examination, the Han scholars who came out of the Yixue education provide strong support for the imperial examination, and the same progress is also the guarantee of the stability of the dynasty, but talents, without more than ten or twenty years of hard work, can not become talents." In my generation, there are three things to do, one is to cultivate talents, and the other is to prevent the children of the family from being out of the ranks as much as possible, so as to make up for the gap between the two and let everyone compete at the same starting point; The most important thing is the third thing, in these dozens of countries that cannot compete for power, it will also be the most fierce period of resistance from the hidden family lords, and only by insisting on governing the country and officials according to the law can they not be truthful, so that these people will lose the first conditions to bewitch the people. Therefore, your tax resistance may seem small, but the impact is extremely far-reaching. You should understand now, right? ”

Jiang Fengyi nodded silently, looking at Yang Tong who was pointing out the country with beautiful eyes, the love in her heart was blazing, when a man was the most confident, it was often the most attractive time, he disdained men in the world, and he had to rely on him, isn't it this kind of talent, ability, responsibility and self-confidence that makes his love deep-rooted and inextricable?

"Hey, how do I feel hotter? You, what the hell did you give me a drink? Yang Tong suddenly twisted his body, not only was it getting hotter and hotter, but also the blood was surging upward, and there was a hot riot in his body, gushing out stupidly, and then he turned his head to look at Jiang Fengyi, and found that she was also flushed, indescribably tempting.

Jiang Fengyi inhaled heavily, and there was an indescribable charm in her shiny eyes: "Tsubaki medicine!" ”
