The suffocating two-day exam finally came to an end in the long bell, and the Wuwei Academy, which had been under martial law for several days, was also liberated, and the Qianniuwei army on the periphery left one by one, and more of them also took their belongings, or excited, or depressed, but more of them were haggard, and left here.

The exam is only two days away, but for them, it is still an incomparably painful physical and psychological situation.

Of course, there are exceptions.

This person is Gu Han, the man who attracted Zhang Hui's attention.

With a small package under his ribs and a long sword hanging from his waist, he left Wuwei Academy with grace.

For the two days of the exam, he only stayed in the examination room for half a day, and then handed in the papers and left, but he could leave the examination room, but he could not leave Wuwei Academy, and today, he was finally free.

He had just arrived in Wuyi, and before he had time to take a good look at Wuyi, he entered the Wuwei Academy, and now that he had finally finished his business, he could take a good look at this place that had risen rapidly in a few years to become one of the most striking places in the entire empire.

There is nothing to see in the inner city, here is the political center, there are many official yamen, powerful residences, if you really want to appreciate the style of Wuyi, you naturally have to go to the outer city and the city outline.

The snow was even heavier than yesterday, and among the snowflakes, there were puffs of green smoke rising from the chimneys on the roofs of almost every house, and as soon as they came out, they were swept away by the wind and gathered into the snowflakes, making the sky seem to be lower.

Gu Han knew that in Wuyi, the main fuel was not firewood and charcoal, good charcoal was too expensive, and ordinary people could not afford to consume it, in Wuyi, most of the burned charcoal was charcoal. Just like they burned the fire dragon underground in Wuwei Academy, they all used coal.

This kind of fuel dug out of the ground is easy to get into trouble if it is not properly ventilated. But the good thing is that it's inexpensive, and everyone can afford it.

What made Gu Han even more interested was a small stove he saw in the dormitory of Wuwei Academy.

There is naturally no fire dragon in the dormitory, and the temperature is much colder than in the examination room, but there is a small furnace like this in each dormitory, where people call it a honeycomb stove, a furnace is wrapped with a layer of iron sheet, and the charcoal is made into a cylindrical shape after being put on the loess, and the middle is full of honeycomb-like holes, the most ingenious design of this furnace is that when there is no need for a fire, it can be closed from a vent at the bottom to leave only a trace of the pipe, so that the fire will not be extinguished, but it has been burning.

The dormitory relies on this to maintain the temperature, and a large tin kettle is placed on the stove, steaming hot, which not only makes the room hotter, but also keeps the room at a certain humidity, and more importantly, this maximizes the smell in the room without any unpleasantness.

What made Gu Han still interested was the iron kettle stove.

He touched it, and the skin was thin. Don't underestimate this thing, ordinary people really can't get it, listen to those people from Wuwei Academy say that this is made by Texas, and what kind of hydraulic stamping is used.

The price is very cheap, a iron kettle like this is only a hundred pennies, and everyone can afford it.

The well-informed Gu Han can see a lot of problems from these inconspicuous little things. The process of making kettles alone can show that Wuyi is quite superb in iron smelting and iron making, and the mature process represents the reduction of price, and the reduction of price means a larger scale of popularity, a larger market, and a better money situation! On the other hand, it also means that the Wuyi regime can use the same amount of money as other parties to create more equipment on top of weapons and equipment such as armor.

It seems that there will always be countless new things popping up on Wuyi's side.

On the cross street, the fat aunt's noodle stall business is becoming more and more prosperous, and compared with some time ago, in addition to the car, there is also an additional shed.

The shed is the kind that can be put away at any time, the design is very exquisite, the four pillars are made of bamboo, two inside and outside, the slightly thinner one is stuck in the thick inside, and the height of the shed is controlled by a pin.

Even if it's snowing, the fat aunt's stall is always full of people.

Gu Han waited for a while, and finally saw a place vacated, so he hurriedly went over and sat down, and asked for a bowl of mutton noodles and a small plate of sausages. Eating out, those who are crowded, always have their own uniqueness.

The amount of noodles is very large, and a piece of lamb the size of a palm can almost cover the entire bowl. The aroma of shallots and coriander is flushed with heat, and it immediately makes people feel appetizing.

The sausages are thinly sliced and arranged in a circle on the plate, and in the middle are slices of radish that are also very thinly sliced, and a slice is put in the mouth, chewed and crushed, making it a pickled appetizer.

The sausage is made of pig's large intestine, and Gu Han didn't eat this thing at all in the past, which seemed to be very pickled, but while looking at the appearance of this sausage, he tried to order a plate and tasted it, which was really good.

There's really no other place to do this.

Eating the mutton noodles happily, my choice was really right, and the taste was really good.

Gu Han, who was eating noodles, watched a few tax collectors come over, although he had not been in Wuyi for a few days, but he had been on Wuwei's territory for a long time, he knew that under Li Ze's rule, different departments had different uniforms, and it was very easy to distinguish.

Both sides are familiar with each other, and they don't need to speak, the fat aunt has already taken out ten cents from the iron box on the side and handed it to the tax collector, and the tax collector tore up a ticket and handed it to the fat aunt, and then walked to the next house by herself.

A day's tax money, just a bowl of noodles.

Specialized people collect the tax of these vendors who do not have a fixed façade, and it is the same everywhere, the only difference is that it seems to be a fixed tax here, and vouchers are also given.

Gu Han thought in his heart, Li Ze's rules are very good. It can eliminate the stealing of chickens and dogs from the people below to the greatest extent.

Several catchers with knives came over like a gust of wind, and one of them asked for a bowl of mutton noodles, but they didn't enter the shed, but stood in the snow and ate the noodles cleanly. Gu Han ate first, and at this time he had eaten less than half of it, and they had already put the empty bowl on the fat aunt's stall.

"Fat aunt, on the account." The leader shouted, and walked out of the street like the wind.

Gu Han smiled, finished eating the noodles and sausages slowly, and picked up the bowl and walked to the car like other diners, putting the dishes aside.

"Boss, you're afraid you won't be able to receive all this money, right? It's dozens of dollars, and it's worth your taxes for several days. Gu Han said with a smile.

The fat aunt glanced at Gu Han with some surprise, "This guest is not a local, right?" Is it the talent who came to us for the exam? ”

"Talented people don't dare to stop it, I've only read it for a few days."

"I see." The fat aunt smiled: "How can you not receive it, they eat almost every day, once a month, they are light, and I have a lot less trouble." ”

"Can you receive it?"

"Of course, whoever dares not to give money, I will sue them, and I can rip off their official uniforms in a blink of an eye." The fat aunt smiled: "This Langjun, we are not better here than other places, rules and disciplines, everyone has to abide by the rules." ”

Gu Han nodded silently and left.

The word rules is not easy to say, but it is difficult to do!

Many times, the rules are set for ordinary people, and anyone who has a little power in their hands wants to find a way to put themselves outside the rules!

He Cripple, who was originally selling pancakes next to the fat aunt, is gone.

He gave everything he had and bought hundreds of acres of land in Mozhou, except for one brother who was left here, the rest of his family followed He Cripple to Mozhou to settle down. This made the fat aunt envious, but her own man died on the battlefield, although she had two babies, she was reluctant to let the baby go to the legendary desert, no matter how cheap the land was, it was not as good as Wuyi! Now relying on the stall, the money is also earning enough, one of the two babies is learning medicine in the hospital, and the other is studying, as long as one of them can get ahead, the future will be better and better! Now that I can earn enough to live, the pension of the dead ghost must be kept for the baby to marry a daughter-in-law in the future!

When the two babies are married, they will not sell noodles, stay at home to stretch out their hands, open their mouths for food, and be an old lady! I heard that the small courtyard at home is worth the old money now, but it can't be sold if you are poor, it is the ancestral property of a dead ghost man! It's really going to be sold, if the dead ghost man runs back at some time, but goes there to find himself!

When Gu Han left, the fat aunt finally had some leisure, sitting there, looking at the snow fluttering in the sky with her cheeks in a daze, until someone shouted: "Fat aunt come to a bowl of noodles!" She woke up suddenly.

Gu Han walked around the outer city and bought a sheepskin hat and a pair of cashmere gloves, which can be regarded as a full load, and the hat is just that, although it is warm, it looks really ugly, but the gloves are really good, thin, and it does not hinder writing at all, the key is that it is still warm.

Gu Han, who returned to the inn with satisfaction, unexpectedly saw several people in official uniforms standing at the door of the inn, and it seemed that they were accompanied by the owner of the inn.

"Grandpa, he is Gu Han, Gu Han is him." As soon as he saw Gu Han, the innkeeper shouted.

Several dukes immediately strode towards him.

"Gu Han?" The first person stared at Gu Han and asked.

"Yes!"

"Come with us!" Led by the public humanity.

"Which yamen are you from?" Gu Han was a little nervous, the clothes of these people were not the same as the law enforcement departments in Wuyi that he knew, they looked similar in general, but there were differences in the subtleties, ordinary people didn't care, but Gu Han was clear.

"You'll know when you go!" The leader smiled, and without waiting for Gu Han to say anything, with a wave of his hand, several people behind him rushed up, put Gu Han up, stuffed it into a carriage, and the carriage left immediately.
