Chen County in May has entered the hottest season, with a bustling city and busy people. Like Shanghai in later generations, it is the most prosperous, avant-garde and dynamic county in Chu State, and of course it is also the most snobbish and realistic county. Everything has a price, and if you can't buy it, it's just that you don't have enough money.

"The price has been increased! The price has been marked! Someone shouted in the liquor store. Dongguo Yigongzi paid 150 yuan and 150 yuan. ”

The front and back markets were the standard layout of the cities in this era, but the Chenxian liquor stores were not before the big city but after the big city. The shops before the big market were too expensive, and they couldn't afford to sell alcohol, so they had to move to the big market. The cry of one hundred and fifty dollars aroused the excitement of the drinkers, and one of them immediately shouted: "Shopkeeper, two buckets of wine!" Dongguo Yigongzi has added money! ”

"Serve the wine, serve the wine quickly." Chen County is not like Yingdu, the price of wine is cheap, this spring somehow, those rich people's money is like water, spoonful by spoonful poured out.

As soon as the drinkers were summoned, the shopkeepers were busy with their feet on the ground, and before the wave was over, someone shouted: "Zimu Gongzi 200 yuan and 1 Jane, Zimu Gongzi 200 yuan and 1 Jane......"

"Zimu..., Shaft also!" The silver shining Yushi treasure knife was placed parallel on both sides of the wine case, and Chen Ao, who was drunk, leaned on the case and exhaled, which was regarded as a curse, and Chen He opposite him was already snoring and falling asleep.

"Brother Zi Ao, haha......" The man who shouted Zi Mu Gongzi's two hundred dollars saw Chen Ao. The blessing of the honorable people, Chen Ao is also respectfully called 'Zi', he has no words, so he is only called 'Zi Ao'. "My master said, if Brother Zi Ao votes for my family, the master is willing to give this ......" The person who came stretched out his five fingers and deliberately hung for a while before shouting: "Fifty gold!" ”

"Fifty gold?!" Chen Ao didn't seem to hear it, but the other people in the wine shop gasped violently, looked at each other and only snorted in their mouths: "Fifty gold!" ”

"Plus a good horse!" People continue to add weight. "Also, there is a hectare of fields, two houses, and a beauty......"

"And the beauty." The drinkers couldn't help but heckle. They are also mostly the people of Luzuo, because the king wants to dynasty the countrymen, set up a foreign dynasty, the nobles and giant businessmen will compete for wealth overnight, the iron rooster that was not plucked out earlier actually returned to the township to send warmth, the county west of the tyrant who was rampant in the market earlier completely changed his temper, and he was smiling when he saw people, and the city was even more absolute, and after a few months of competition, he began to mark the price clearly, a simple - a household has a registration, a household is a simple, whether you can be a countryman depends on the simple more and the less.

Corresponding to Jane is also Bian. What is Bian? Five families and one army, ten families and one mile, four miles and one flat, ten flat and one township, five townships and one county. Bian is a bit similar to the village of later generations, and the government of the people of the dynasty stipulates: each bian elects two people as county people, and enters the county and the outside court; Each county selects two people as the people of Yingdu, and enters the Yingdu Outer Dynasty. Chen County is a large county, the number of households in one flat is far more than 200, the struggle is particularly fierce, throwing money is a small matter, fighting for life is a big thing.

"Get out!" Today's Chen Ao is different from the past, in addition to scolding, the residual wine in the cup was splashed on people's faces.

"......" The person who came was poured back violently by the residual wine, did not catch his breath, and coughed a few words. Whether it is the descendant of a big family, he is not angry, and said with a smile: "Xie Yushi is a noble person who appreciates wine, but I don't know if the noble person can have tomorrow's corn money......"

"Get out!" Chen Ao seemed to have been stabbed by someone, jumped up and shouted, frightening the man to retreat in a hurry.

"Why shout." Chen Ji, who was asleep, raised his head, and when someone stretched out his finger and said fifty gold, he woke up. Fifty gold is not a small amount, ordinary people have fifty gold, and they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

"The villain is in charge, ignoring the king's law, and even paying for Jane, I should kill these villains." Chen Ao sat down angrily and slapped his hand on the treasure knife. The self-esteem he had built up last year had just been badly wounded. He and Chen He are just helpers, working ...... farming, building, and cooking, as long as they give money, there is nothing they don't do.

Now it's good, I've become a good person, I can no longer be a servant, and my livelihood is completely ruined. Although Yushi has twenty-five stone valleys, where is twenty-five stone valleys enough for a family to eat, his wife and children are hungry every day, and there is a treasure knife and a set of corporal clothes left.

"What's so bad about paying for it?" Chen He poured the last leftover wine in the cup into his mouth, but he didn't enjoy it, and went to get Chen Ao's cup again, not wanting Chen Ao to spill all the residual wine just now, which made him angry, he finally brought the wine ropes, and then drank a small half sip of wine.

"Wang Zhaoshang said that it is strictly forbidden to pay money to buy Jane." Chen Ao felt that he was a minister, even if he was hungry, he should also think about the king.

"Wang Zhao?" Chen is far more sophisticated than him, "If Wang Zhao is useful, what kind of people will he follow?" It is not better for the king to summon his own life. ”

"You ......" became a scholar Chen Ao felt that he was the king's courtier from now on, and Chen Er, who became a scholar, felt that this was a manifestation of his own wisdom - people must be good at seizing opportunities, otherwise they will not be able to get ahead, and if they seize the opportunity, they will be able to match the seal and be a nobleman.

"I heard that the king is going to Daliang, and to go to Daliang, he must pass through Chen County." Chen brought up the matter.

"How?" Chen Ao asked, mentioning the king, the anger in his chest suddenly disappeared.

"Chen County is the old Ying, and the king must stay here." Chen's eyes began to roll again. "The king of Huatai in the northwest must go."

Chen County also has Zhanghuatai, this is not the Zhanghuatai of the old Ying, it is the Zhanghuatai built in the northwest three miles of Chen County after the eastward migration of King Chu Qingxiang imitated the appearance of the old Ying. In addition to Zhanghuatai, there are other palaces and Xiangzi City in the east of the city.

"What do you want?" Chen Ao was puzzled. "Want to see the king?"

"Naturally, I want to meet the king. The king led the boat division to Daliang to fight with the Qin people, and we, as courtiers, could not let the king be alone in danger. Chen He yawned, and his next sentence was: "I haven't eaten meat soup for a long time, and I have to forget the taste." ”

"Today, Chen Ying's buyers are crowded, if the king can see it, it should be inappropriate." Chen County Government, last year's military Sima Peng Zong admonished. He was ordered to wait for the king and the general here, and the county prince Chen was also his lord, so he had to be reminded.

"The two families of Dongguo are fighting for the most fiercely, and there is a lot of gold, what can I do?" Chen Jian likes the politics of the Chaoguo, his foundation in Chen County is very strong, and the result of the Chaoguo people is that he is no longer afraid of Yingdu's order, and he can live in the position of county magistrate. It's just that it's not without a price, he must balance the forces of all parties in the county, not one tough suppression, and he must take advantage of the situation.

"One county is fifty flat, and there are hundreds of people, how much has it been? How much does it mean to buy money? Peng Zong asked again.

"Nine out of ten people in 100 people make half of the money." Chen Jian replied, and he began to feel that Peng Zong's concern was indeed a problem.
