Qin Ming took Luo Ziyi to walk around Liuzhou City, which is better than Xiaohe County, after all, this is a big city.

It's just that the feudalism here is still very terrible.

Moreover, the feudalism is very thorough, because here, it is controlled by the largest Tusi in Liuzhou, the Liu family, for thousands of years, and the people almost never thought that they were still the children of the Chu State.

Because, he has been living under the system of the Liu family.

Here, there are many feudal rules, which make Qin Ming quite dissatisfied, for example, after inquiring, he knows that the taxes here are almost two-thirds of the annual harvest of the people.

The remaining one-third, for some ordinary families, is barely enough to eat.

As for commerce and trade here, the taxes are also terrible, resulting in commerce being underdeveloped and lagging behind.

In addition, there are all kinds of rules formulated by Tusi, many injustices, and even some rules, Qin Ming feels a little ridiculous.

For example, the Liujia Tusi stipulates that when the spring comes, Liuzhou City will hold a meeting to welcome the gods, welcome the gods, and bless the wind and rain of the year.

This is nothing, but the disgusting thing is that at the meeting to welcome the gods, a hundred young girls will be sacrificed, and they will be tied naked to a hundred copper pillars and burned with fire.

What do you say about offering a hundred girls to the gods, so that the gods can be invited to bless the people of Liuzhou.

What the hell is this......

Feudal superstition kills people......

At the end of this day, Qin Ming heard that many people were talking about this, because in spring, the sky was getting warmer and warmer, and it was about to come to the Welcoming God Conference.

Many families with daughters are worried that their daughters will be chosen.

It was getting late, Qin Ming and Luo Ziyi went to a restaurant for dinner.

Some of the people in this restaurant are also discussing the meeting to welcome the gods.

Luo Ziyi sighed and said, "It's really that the more backward the place, the more these feudal rules are broken." But doesn't the court care about this? ”

Qin Ming sighed: "Liuzhou is not a small place like Xiaohe County, the big Tusi of the Liu family in Liuzhou has a lot of power, after all, the imperial court not only sealed the Tusi, but also gave the Tusi prefect the official position, from which it can be seen that the Tusi is completely in charge of affairs here." ”

The power of the big toast itself is very great, and it is not comparable to the small toast.

Tusi itself is very special, because under the rule of Tusi, the land and people are hereditary owned by Tusi, and Tusi form their own spheres of influence.

Judicial, financial, administrative, and military affairs can all be governed by the Tusi itself.

Therefore, Tusi gives and takes from the local people, and has all the power of life and death.

Except for not being able to ascend the throne and be the emperor, everything else is even better than the emperor's treatment.

In this case, the local toasts only had to pay a small amount of symbolic taxes to the imperial court, and on the bright side, it was as if they were still subservient to the imperial court.

But in fact, in the places under their jurisdiction, the emperor was not taken into account.

Because they are the soil emperors of this place.

So Qin Ming continued: "The laws of the imperial court are basically useless in the territory of the Great Tusi, because they have their rules, even if it is to kill people, it is difficult for the imperial court to manage. ”

Luo Ziyi looked at Qin Ming and said, "Then what are you doing with setting up the state capital yamen?" Furnishings? ”

"Almost, the power is in the hands of Tusi, and the state government yamen is basically a decoration." Qin Ming said.

Luo Ziyi understood the reason why Qin Ming did not enter the yamen of the state capital as an official this time, and fought with Da Tusi, in their territory, you are an official, and you can't do it.

After dinner, Qin Ming and Luo Ziyi stayed in this restaurant.

He is still thinking about how to enter the Liu family, the next person? Mixed in? Or is it Xiaolu's hand, and he is favored by the Liu family to be a warrior of the Liu family?

These are fine, but they are not perfect.

So Qin Ming still has to think about it.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Qin Ming found the shopkeeper and asked:

"Xiao Er, I want to go to the Liu family to find an errand, can you help me inquire, does the Liu family need someone?"

The shopkeeper looked at Qin Ming before he said, "Guest officer, are you talking about our Liuzhou Da Tusi Liu family?" Then don't think about it, not everyone can enter a big family like the Liu family.

Even if you go in and sweep the floor, no one needs to. Of course, if you're a beautiful woman, you might be able to get in. ”

Qin Ming was speechless and said, "For example, are they recruiting martial artists?" ”

The shopkeeper scratched his head and said, "Ouch, this level of news is beyond the scope of my gossip, I really don't know."

However, I heard that the Liu family was recruiting cooks, and they also held a cooking competition outside the Liu family, and the one with the best cooking skills could be invited to be the private chef of the Liu family's daughter, and many cooks went to try. ”

Cook?

Qin Ming's eyes lit up, thinking that he could cook, and secretly took some seasonings from the system kitchen, such a seasoning must be better than what ordinary chefs in this world make.

Thinking of this, Qin Ming and Luo Ziyi glanced at each other, and then asked the address of the Liu family, and then took Luo Ziyi, who continued to dress as a man.

After a while, he appeared on the street outside a very large and very wealthy mansion.

"It's a cooking competition over there, right?" Luo Ziyi pointed to a wooden platform in the distance and said, there are many people watching there, it is very lively.

The two hurriedly ran over and saw that there were four pots on the wooden table, and four cooks were making noodles, some making knife-cut noodles, some making ramen noodles, and some making Yangchun noodles and so on.

And behind the wooden platform there were some sandalwood chairs, on which a beautiful girl sits, and in front of her there is a sandalwood table, and a bowl of noodles is being placed, she takes a bite and immediately spits it out:

"What, it's hard to eat, change a batch of ......"

So, when a few of the cooks were lost, a maid said to the people below, "Are there any cooks who can make noodles?" ”

So, one or two more cooks who wanted to be prosperous and rich went up.

Qin Ming just rushed over, seized the opportunity, and hurriedly went up.

The maid glanced at Qin Ming, as if she thought he was too young, but she didn't say anything.

After the four chefs were in place, the maid spoke: "I still make noodles, no matter what kind of noodles, as long as my young lady says it is delicious, I will pass the test and become my young lady's private chef, and the treatment is superior." Alright, let's get started. ”

Qin Ming thought to himself, these noble people are really idle, and they even hold a cooking competition in order to eat in one bite......

Thinking about it, he looked at the dough on the table and smiled.

I feel that as a modern person, the opposite meal is not comparable to these people, so he must be able to make delicious things.

Thinking of this, Qin Ming was ready to start ramen.

High-end ingredients often only need to adopt the most simple methods, and Master Qin, who has been busy for a while, finally took out Master Kong.

Because he found that he couldn't ramen, let alone cut noodles.
