Dong'e is in Jibei County, which used to be called Jeju, just west of Qi County, and is on the same line of the Jishui Yellow River. The county seat of Jibei is in Lu County, and Dong'e is adjacent to the west of Lu County.

The east is north of the Yellow River, the south is Jishui, and the southeast is Mount Tai.

Cheng and Qin's families used to be world friends, Cheng Yanjin's family background and experience are similar to Qin Qiong's, the family was in the middle when he was a child, but the accumulation of a century-old scholar family, although they are politically frustrated, they still enjoy a high economic advantage.

Cheng Biting Jin played a small study of literature and martial arts, and like Qin Qiong, Cheng Biting Jin is also the kind of person who can't calm down to learn literature, but is very interested in learning martial arts and has a great talent.

There is a huge difference between Cheng Yanjin, who sells illicit salt in the romance, his family is one of the best in Jibei, with thousands of acres of fertile land, a prominent family background, and a high prestige. Born in a wealthy official family, he didn't need to worry about his livelihood since he was a child, and he didn't need to sell any illicit salt at all.

Moreover, at the beginning of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the ban on mountains, forests, and fishing was lifted, and salt and iron wine mines were not monopolized. The tax on Guanjin is also removed, and the money into the market is removed.

What does it mean?

It is that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty is quite bold and generous, and the salt and mines in the world are allowed to be dug by the people, without taxes or monopoly. The same is true of wine, which is neither forbidden nor monopolized, but sold as you please.

At the same time, the Sui Dynasty also abolished the tariffs of the previous dynasties, no longer set up cards at the intersection to collect taxes, and even opened shops and stalls in the markets in the city, and did not collect taxes.

Later generations summed up the tax system of the Sui Dynasty and once said that in all dynasties, the simplest tax system was the Sui, and the Sui had no industrial and commercial tax.

The people of the Sui Dynasty did not even have industrial and commercial taxes, and they did not monopolize salt, wine and tea mines, so there was no such thing as a private salt seller in these years. The most powerful dynasties in history, the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, were all because the imperial court imposed a heavy salt tax and monopolized salt, and the salt tax revenue accounted for more than half of the imperial court, so the imperial court cracked down on private salt so badly.

But the Sui Dynasty did not collect salt taxes at all, did not engage in salt monopoly, and left it to your merchants and ordinary people to dig and sell.

In this era, although salt is more expensive, there is a saying that there is a pound of salt and rice, but it is far from being as expensive as in the Song and Ming dynasties.

Cheng Yanjin has never sold illicit salt, and of course he does not use a plate axe.

The weapon he practiced was a horse lance, just like many children from noble families, all of them were horse lances and horse lances.

In history, Cheng Biting Jin was brave and good at fighting, and he was good at using a horse lance to stab. His horse lance, even among the generals in the early Tang Dynasty, can squeeze into the top ten, which shows that this is a master.

"I heard that Cheng Duwei became famous at a young age, brave and unparalleled, and a horse lance beat all over Jibei invincible, I am now learning horse lance with Zhang Juncheng, but it is always illegal, I have time to learn from Cheng Duwei, and I hope to advise." Luo Cheng felt that Cheng Yanjin was born in a high family, but he didn't have any shelf on his body, and he had a very free and easy temperament, which made him feel like he was at first sight and very close to him.

"Ma Lance, this thing actually doesn't have any tricks, just practice more, and it's not difficult to get started in three years. It takes five or six years of hard work to see some skills, and more than ten years before you dare to say that you are proficient. In fact, I am just practicing blindly, and I call myself a master in the countryside, but there are people outside the mountains, and there is a sky outside the sky, and I dare not say that I am good at using a horse lance when I go out of Dong'e County. ”

"Actually, Uncle Bao's horse lance is stronger than me!"

At this time, a voice came from the side, "Lao Cheng is bragging here again." ”

"Who dares to arrange you Cheng Ye behind your back!" Lao Cheng turned around.

"What's the matter, if you have new friends, you won't introduce one or two?"

The two men stood there and said to Lao Cheng with a smile, and when Cheng Yanjin saw that it was the two of them, he smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn't come." ”

"Uncle Bao is getting married today, how can we not come, we are all brothers who have played together back then, and we will never miss this day."

Luo Cheng looked at these two people and asked.

"Brother Cheng, who are these two?"

"Oh, let me introduce you, this one you look like a dog is Cao Zhai Rang of Dongjun Law. Next to this, it is his brother and his subordinate, also in Dongjun, and is now a prison named Huang Junhan. ”

Zhai Rang is very tall, and he looks older than Cheng Yanjin, and he is estimated to be in his thirties. This is the second law division he knows, the previous Wang Bo used to be the law department of Qi County, and now he has seen another law department of Dong County.

Dongjun is still to the west of Jibei County, separated from Qi County by a Jibei County, but it is also on the south bank of the Yellow River.

"Dongjun Slippery City Zhai Rang." Zhai Rang arched his hand at Luo Chengyi, "In the past, when my father was an official in Qizhou, I was friends with Shubao, Biting Jin, and Jingyun, and I was a child at that time, and they were all mixed with the back of my ass. ”

Huang Junhan smiled and saluted, "Huang Junhan and Huang Jingyun of Dongjun Yucheng are also Shubao's old brothers." ”

Luo Cheng didn't expect that today he met Cheng Yanjin first, and then met Zhai Rang and Huang Junhan, both of whom were fierce generals and celebrities in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. According to Cheng Yanjin, Zhai Rang and Huang Junhan were both officials of the Northern Qi Dynasty before, and several of them were officials together, so they have a good relationship with the second generation of officials.

"Zhangqiu Luocheng, the cousin Shicheng, is Shubao's aunt and cousin."

Lao Cheng said beside him, "Don't look young at this Brother Luo, that's capable, and Shu Baosheng captured the blue-faced ghost Zhu Hua, and then captured the rain king Bo, it's good." ”

"It turns out that my brother is Captain Zhangqiu Luo, your name spread all over the banks of the Yellow River last winter, I have heard of it for a long time, and I have never had the opportunity to meet, I didn't expect to meet here, fate." Zhai Rang said with a smile.

"It's all false praise, I don't dare to compare with my brothers."

Luo Cheng is very modest, these three are more than a cow, Zhai Rangjia is not only a county-level leader now, but also the founder of Wagangzhai in the future, and Wagangzhai at the end of the Sui Dynasty is Fengyun Group.

As for Huang Junhan, he is also very good, although he is only a prison now, but he later became the founding prince of the Tang Dynasty after entering the Tang Dynasty like Cheng Yanjin.

Huang Junhan looked at Luo Cheng, "Brother Luo is really a hero, but he is so powerful at such an age, I can't help but think of a friend." ”

Zhai Rang said, "Jingyun is definitely going to say that Xu is big-eyed." ”

"But Shan Erlang's little brother Xu Shiji?"

"Well, it's not the eldest son of our Eastern County's No. 1 powerful Xu family, he is only sixteen years old this year, the same year as Brother Luo, and he is also capable."

Cheng Yanjin said with a smile, "It's true that Xu Dayan has the ability, but it's too crazy for anyone to look down on." ”

Luo Cheng stood there and felt that his face was a little stiff, Dongjun Xu Shiji, isn't that the later British Duke Li Ji, and also the Duke Xu Mao in the romance.

"Why haven't Shan Erlang and Xu Dayan come yet, on the day of Uncle Bao's wedding today, the two of them don't dare not come, right?"

"They dare." Zhai Rang smiled, "Don't worry, it's definitely here in a while." When the two of them arrive, we'll let them punish themselves with three glasses. ”

Shan Xiongxin is also coming?

Luo Cheng felt that there was really a feeling of being a group of heroes today.

Cheng Biting Jin, Zhai Rang, Huang Junhan, plus Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji, if you count the owner Qin Shubao here, ouch, the heroes gather.

Just thinking about it, the steward of the Qin family over there was already singing loudly.

"Qi Jun Zhang Jun Cheng has arrived!"

Zhang Xutuo also came.
