As a coastal city, Yangcheng has always been synonymous with openness and openness, and far away from the capital, not only is there no curfew, but it is more prosperous and lively.

In this era of Daqi, there are not many things for people to play, and naturally they will not be able to satisfy people's entertainment psychology at home like in the previous life, so the bustling night market has become a good place for the people of Yangcheng, and after dinner, they will come out early.

All kinds of dramas, sour texts, Guan Pu, a good place to sell money is a big handful, naturally do not worry about no place to have a pastime, such a scene lasted until late at night, the three watches slowly dispersed, but until the fifth watch, Yangcheng began to be lively again, and the morning market was in full swing again.

Mo Qian had just arrived in Yangcheng, and after experiencing so many things last night and drinking a stomach full of wine, he naturally didn't have the heart to think about the prosperity of Yangcheng. He was woken up by the head of the guard outside the palace.

Different from our impression, Daqi is not more aware of the husband, but mostly some local or traveling leaders, who earn money to maintain their lives by beating and changing.

In addition to playing the watch, it will also take into account the task of weather forecasting, such as, "The time has come, the morning light is light, the day is clear, there is haze on the riverside, the weather is cool in the morning and evening, and you need to prepare a jacket" and so on, so in the boundary of Yangcheng, even the monks have become fine.

What is even more surprising is that these great monks, who should have been concentrating on chanting sutras and ignoring the mundane things of time, have pure ears and empty ears, but they have the best understanding of the situation of the rich and poor families within their scope of responsibility.

Which family is richer, which family is colder, they all know in their hearts, on the fifteenth day of the new year, or the Qingming Dragon Boat Festival, they will come to the door to turn some sesame oil money, and then the property given by each family will naturally have a bottom line in their hearts.

I gave less, and the monks didn't say much, but the next time I reported the shift, I was still loud in front of your house, and when I arrived at your door, I was as hoarse as eating Coptis chinensis.

You said he was tired of shouting, but when he got to the next corner, he began to sing loudly.

Of course, in Daqi, the monk is also one of the thousands of people, and the government has never given them money, but when they arrived at the gate of the government, these monks did not dare to stop the drums, but sang more loudly, and Mo Qian was woken up in such a chant.

Mo Qian shook his head, but there was a spring rain outside, looking at this posture, it seemed that it had been raining all night, and now the sky was full of purple air, and it seemed that the sky was going to be clear.

Soon after Toutuo left, there were all kinds of singing and selling sounds outside the door, because the government is next to the city, so the sound also came with the spring flowing, but fortunately, these voices are different from the big trumpet sales in the previous life, and they are used for singing and selling, but they don't seem noisy.

Pushing open the window, it is Yangcheng shrouded in the spring rain, the cooking smoke one by one, mixed with singing and selling, but there is a kind of "burning incense and ordering tea, hanging pictures and illustrations, all kinds of idle things, not suitable for tiring the family" leisurely.

Mo Qian didn't think much about this beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, he just got dressed and jumped up from the bed, he drank too much last night, although the booklet that Nangong Qingxuan threw to him, the content recorded on it was very surprising, but it still couldn't stop him from going to sleep.

So after arranging with Gao Lin, Mo Qian threw the account book to the bedside and slept until dawn. It's just that now that he woke up, the first thing he remembered was the account book, opened the pillow, and the book was still in Mo Qian's heart was suddenly relieved, this booklet is really too important.

The above clearly recorded the dealings between the salt merchants and customers in Yangcheng, and even the dividends of which salt store Yangcheng officials participated in were clearly marked on it.

The most important thing is that, according to the above, the salt merchants in Yangcheng even got in touch with the government, using the government's ships and permits to transport illicit salt openly.

What's the matter? As soon as Mo Qian jumped up, he didn't even put on his coat, so he directly summarized the contents of the account book, wrote it into a letter, and prepared to send it to the capital as soon as possible.

"Gao Lin!" Mo Qian shouted, and the full-time master bodyguard appeared at the door for the first time, so it was safe to have a master to follow.

Mo Qian raised the belief in his hand, "You send this letter to the post station and send it to the capital as soon as possible." ”

It seems that this thing has to be solved by the emperor, and I am not familiar with my life now, and I have the lessons of several prefects before, so it is better to be careful.

"Okay!" Gao Lin answered, and hurried out with the envelope.

"Wait, don't rush yet." But Gao Lin had just walked not far before he was drunk back by Mo Qian.

"Childe, but what's the matter?" Gao Lin looked puzzled.

Mo Qian frowned, and muttered, "Now we don't have any control over Yangcheng, and Yangcheng's power is intertwined, the officials of the post station may not have the possibility of colluding with them, if the letter is intercepted, then it will be a big trouble, I really don't worry about passing the envelope from the official post like this." ”

"In that case, we can notify the local Dragon Guardian Villa in Yangcheng and ask them to forward it on our behalf." Gao Lin said.

But Mo Qian still shook his head, "It's still not proper, whether this account book is true or false is all based on what one person said, if you rashly send the news back, but I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse, I am reckless, we should check it first and then make a return." ”

"Childe is right, so where should we go to investigate?" Gao Lin asked.

"A small shop that sells breakfast at the door." Mo Qian said firmly.

Gao Lin: "......"

"I ...... Hungry. ”

…………

…………

When he first arrived, Mo Qian didn't have a personal maid Ting'er by his side, he and Gao Lin, the two old men, naturally didn't have any idea of cooking, but he was a gourmet, so it was reasonable to go out and find some local specialties to eat.

And according to Mo Qian's understanding of the people of Yangcheng, it is very good to enjoy, the people in the city rarely open fire, especially breakfast, most of them are solved in the nearby white breakfast shop, steamed buns, rice porridge, rich and thrifty, if you are a little lazy, you can also let the nearby merchants set up, and the food will be delivered at a fixed point every day, and you don't need to worry about three meals a day.

Of course, it is definitely not as cost-effective as doing it yourself, but people living in the prosperous Yangcheng do not have to calculate this economic account, at least in Mo Qian's eyes.

At this time, there was no strict order around the government that was not allowed to sell, of course, even in the previous life, it was not said that breakfast could not be sold at the entrance of the police station, so Mo Qian and Gao Lin quickly found a shop that sold breakfast.

This shop is open diagonally opposite the government office, and a little further past is the government market, on both sides are stilted buildings, people live on top, and shops are below, all the way along the street.

And this shop is not under those stilted buildings, but is set up in the open space next to the wall in front of the yamen, so it is simply a big umbrella to cover the tables and chairs.

Seeing Mo Qian and Gao Lin coming out of the yamen, the little second brother greeted him from afar, "The first time the two adults came to use breakfast, right?" All kinds of snacks, meat and vegetarian snacks, rich and thrifty. ”

"There is labor." Mo Qian nodded, and sat down on the pine table and stool under the shade of the big umbrella under the beckoning of Xiao Er.

"The two adults looked at Miansheng, but they just came to Yangcheng?" Mo Qian has been in the capital for a long time, and he unconsciously brings some Beijing accents when he speaks, which is naturally different from people in the south, and he can hear it when he hears it.

"Yangcheng, who only came yesterday, is indeed the first time to come." Mo Qian smiled.

"Oh, that must be the new prefect's side, the two of you are really blessed."

Xiao Er clenched his fists and said, then pointed to the wooden sign behind him and said: "Speaking of these, I forgot to ask the two adults what they want to eat, the soup cakes in our store are a must, steamed buns, dim sum, and all kinds of food." ”

Mo Qian looked at the sign above, and saw the names of all kinds of food, in addition to steamed buns, steamed cakes, wontons, and roasted wheat.

"Then let's have two bowls of soup cakes." Mo Qian said that he had been drinking alcohol last night and hadn't eaten much food, so his stomach had already made trouble as soon as he got up early in the morning.

The towel in the little second brother's hand was put on his shoulder, and he said happily: "Okay, wait a minute, two adults, just a moment." ”

Anyway, I went to the shopkeeper to help, these days, the shopkeeper is called the eldest brother, and the second brother is naturally the second brother......

Mo Qian and Gao Lin looked around curiously, although Mo Qian was now the owner of this mansion, but he was also a newcomer, and he was also a little curious when he looked around and occupied a large area.

There are still a lot of people in this area, so there is no shortage of hawkers around the government, in addition to this one that sells breakfast, there are also those who sell daily necessities, selling dates and fruits and seasonal rustiness.

Mo Qian nodded secretly, Yangcheng, it is indeed a city full of vitality.

But at this time, a few officials came from the side of the prefecture and city, smiling all the way, shaking their heads and walking over as if no one was around, and Rao saw those vendors setting up stalls in front, and they ignored them all the way.

When the peddlers saw the officials approaching, they hurriedly retracted what stood in front of them and tried to make way for them.

But at this time, it was still too late, and the officials had already walked in front of them, as if they had just noticed the hawkers, and the officials took a strange look, and then kicked a basket selling dates, "I don't have long eyes, and I am blocking the way of the uncle." ”

"Yes, yes, the grass people will move away."

After saying that, the people who bought the dates and several people around him hurriedly moved their things back, but they were already at the edge of the road, and then there was mud, but the officials did not give him a chance to move back, and stretched out their hands directly at him.

When a few vendors around saw it, they immediately had bitter faces.

The person who bought dates reacted quickly, hurriedly squeezed out a smile and grabbed a handful into the basket, and held it in front of the other party, "Adults on the street, you must be tired, eat some dates to quench your thirst." ”

The other party just glanced at it with disdain, and then waved his hand and slapped the vendor's hand, and the emerald green dates were suddenly scattered on the ground, and the vendor who sold the dates was at a loss for a while.

I saw the other party sneering: "Do you want to call Hanako?" Who is rare about your broken dates, you have been here for so long, and you don't even understand some rules? ”

Several people around were a little hesitant, pinching a few copper plates in their arms, and they were still reluctant to take them out. It was still the vendor who bought dates, and he smiled reluctantly, "A few masters, we have just opened a stall, and we don't have any money on us......

With a "snap", the jujube seller was slapped in the face, and then he was thrown out heavily, and when he got up again, his face was already swollen, and the corners of his mouth were faintly bloodshot.

"Uncle asked you to give money, who wants to listen to your? Let's Yangcheng just follow this rule, and we want to be reasonable, okay, didn't a single prefect just come yesterday? You tell him to go! But if you go and say it, in the future, you don't want to do business, where did you come from, go where you go! The official cha looks like the biggest man in the world. ”

"Uncle, I'm ......" a few hawkers said in embarrassment, this is just the beginning of selling things, how much money can be on them, and if it is really given to them, what will happen if they find money, there is really no need to live?

It is said that the county order of the broken family and the mansion of the door are destroyed, but this little ghost is not necessarily easy to provoke! The official didn't pay attention to them, lowered his head and kicked the basket on the side, "Give me these things, it's worth a few copper plates." ”

"Uncle, this can't be done...... several hawkers suddenly became anxious, bent down and grabbed each other's legs, and said with a crying voice: "Uncle, please let us go, these things are all villains eating guys, the family is counting on it, you can't lose it......"

"Release!" The official cha scolded angrily, and pulled out the knife easily, "You are a broken pickled goods, and you still want to do something to the official?" ”

The dealers were startled and hurriedly retreated, looking at the officials who did not hesitate to collect their goods, and a look of despair gradually appeared on their faces.

But just as the officers and soldiers were about to leave, two people appeared in front of them.

"What do you guys want to do?" One of the officials asked, Mo Qian and Gao Lin were not ordinary people at first glance, they couldn't see the depth for a while, so naturally they didn't dare to be too arrogant.

"Presumptuous!" I saw the boy in front of him with a beautiful face and a scholarly temperament and said, "Bastard, is it true that the court raised you to let you bully the people?" What is the use of such canine teeth? ”

"Who are you? This is the rule of our Yangcheng, seeing that you are also a newcomer, don't come out of the way. ”

The official said with a frown, obviously he was already holding back his anger, if he hadn't been able to eat the other party, he would have already added his fists and kicks by now.

"Childe, forget it, it's always been like this, we can only be considered unlucky, don't mess with them." The small traders gently pulled the corner of Mo Qian's clothes behind him and said.

"Hmph, you don't know him, you should recognize me!" Gao Lin frowned and walked to the front. Those officials frowned, only thinking that this person was familiar, but they couldn't remember it for a while.

Suddenly, the official in front of him compared the figure of yesterday with the person of today, and found that it coincided perfectly.

"You...... Are you ......" the official raised his hand in horror.
