After lunch, everyone came back to their senses, touching their stomachs one by one, satisfied. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This meal also ate a lot of silver, after all, it was all good, and the price was two or three times that of before.

Yang He didn't care, the money earned was spent, he came out of Xin'anzhuang and brought five hundred taels of silver as public expenses, and let Chen Qiuao, Qian Sanniang, and Li Ruwan take it, and the money is still sufficient. At the moment, the old Jianghu Li Ruwan gave money, and several guys served attentively and thoughtfully, and each of them was rewarded with a penny of silver as a tip.

The surrounding diners were all surprised, where did the boy come from, so generous?

In the farewell of the shopkeeper who bent his waist to ninety degrees, Yang He and the others left slowly.

When I arrived at the station of the Liujiazhuang Inspection Division, I was not in a hurry, and I would find an inn to rest, and then slowly watch the surrounding situation.

Although this street is not as good as the main street of "Xin'an Town" in later generations, it is also two or three miles long, and there are more than 100 shops, which is still lively.

The security in the town is also quite effective, the knife-wielding township is constantly patrolling, and those who dare to make trouble are arrested by them, and the eyes and ears of bandits from all walks of life must be honest here.

Yang He heard Hu Cheng say that the organizers behind Liujiazhuang Township Yong are the union of wealthy businessmen in the town, the big family surnamed Liu, the Inspection Department and others, which is quite the prototype of a business group.

And the economy in the town is mainly controlled by the tooth shop.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the Yaxing was already the center of the town's economic structure, manipulating the operation of the town's economy: "Trade in the city must pass through the Yaxing, otherwise, the city shall not be sold, and people shall not sell." For example, all flowers, cloth, firewood, rice, yarn, and dung fields all have tooth rows, and all classes are collared and opened. ”

Most of these tooth shops have official status, and the main people behind them are the big family surnamed Liu, the inspection department and others, who are regarded as tax contractors in local towns.

Of course, the government received very little revenue from these towns, and even if it did, most of it was given to certain people in the household, and the three classes of officials were equally divided.

Most of the income of local magistrates and others is still "orthodox" Tian Fu, Ding Yin, etc.

However, at present, these "business groups" are still working hard to protect their own interests, that is, the surrounding bandits are eyeing each other, and they can survive tenaciously.

Yang He and the others looked at it casually, for the well-informed people, a small local town is nothing to see, even if Liujiazhuang Town is counted as this piece, the most prosperous town in the surrounding dozens of miles is nothing to everyone.

Moreover, everyone also saw that due to the influence of the world, the market was obviously much depressed, and many shops were closed.

Yang He said: "This kind of trading town is too affected by the chaos of the world, and there are no minerals in the local area, so the local people have no other way to make a living except farming. However, if the world is peaceful, the town is located in Chong, and it is still very promising. ”

Qian Sanniang asked: "Why is there a mine, and the people can live well, isn't it more chaotic and worse?" ”

Her voice was cold and pleasant, with curiosity.

She has lived in Xuzhou since she was a child, where there are many coal and iron mines, but the owners of the mines everywhere are fierce, the miners are mostly green-skinned scoundrels, and the stateless refugees who can't survive in various places, etc., if they don't agree with each other, they will fight, and often hear that bloody cases such as firefights occur.

Ordinary good people, whether they are miners or mine owners, have no good feelings.

The people behind him followed, and they were also very interested in listening, wanting to hear what Yang Xianggong had to say.

Yang Hedao: "It is true that the mine owners and miners everywhere are good and bad, and they have private pockets, and the government does not get benefits, but we can't just see this negative side......

He saw a teahouse in front of him, surrounded by willow and locust trees, which was quite shady and elegant, and a flag was picked out at the door, which read, "Chilled white fungus lotus seed soup is served inside".

He groaned: "Sanniang, you didn't come to the menstrual affair, did you?" ”

Qian Sanniang was looking at it, her face turned red when she heard this, and she said in a low voice: "No." ”

Yang Daodao: "Okay, let's go in and sit down." ”

He took Qian Sanniang in, and the shopkeeper greeted him: "This minister, this ...... Please inside, our store has chilled watermelon, chilled white fungus lotus seed soup, chilled sour plum soup, etc., this summer to drink a bowl, it must be comfortable. ”

Yang He nodded, as long as there was money in ancient times, a lot of enjoyment was not a problem, just like eating something cold in summer, there was an ice cellar at this time, and the ice was stored in the cellar in winter, and it was taken in summer, and you could enjoy it, of course, the price was expensive.

At this time, there were also greenhouses, and even in the Han Dynasty, dignitaries and nobles could also eat fresh and out-of-season vegetables all year round.

The two of them went in, Chen Qiuao, Hu Chengcheng and Uncle Wan and others watched the horses, and they also followed, Li Ruwan scolded: "What are you doing with the follow-up?" No eyes. ”

Everyone suddenly realized, and sat outside, anyway, there was a table under the tree outside the door, and the same was true for the guards here.

Yang He took Qian Sanniang to sit at a table near the window, seeing that there were few customers inside, maybe the environment here is good, the consumption is high, and there are few people who can enjoy it here.

Qian Sanniang's face was a little flushed, flustered, and happy, this was the first time she had been alone with Yang Xianggong.

While her heart was beating like a drum, there was also a sense of novelty.

Yang He instructed the shopkeeper to bring two bowls of chilled white fungus lotus seed soup, and at the same time make some chilled watermelon and chilled sour plum soup for his guards outside to eat and drink.

The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed, he glanced at Qian Sanniang, such a cold and tall woman is really rare, looking at her, she seems to be the maid or guard of the son next to her. But looking at the relationship between the two, it is obviously not ordinary, especially if they can be on an equal footing like this.

I can't guess the relationship between the two, saying that it is the wife's room, but this son must be from a big family, how can there be such a woman as a wife, he must marry a lady.

I couldn't figure it out, thinking that the son of a rich man is weird, and I heard that some people are bored and dressed as beggars to mess around.

He ordered to go down repeatedly, and soon the man brought two bowls of iced white fungus lotus seed soup, with crushed ice floating on it, with a hint of coolness.

There were also a lot of chilled watermelons and so on.

Yang He scooped a spoonful, the ice floe collided, making a pleasant sound, and he smiled at Qian Sanniang: "In the hot summer, a bowl of iced white fungus lotus seed soup is a wonderful thing, moisturizing the lungs, clearing the fire and nourishing." ”

Qian Sanniang sighed, to be honest, she has rarely had this kind of enjoyment since she was a child, especially sitting with Yang He, which made her feel at a loss.

She forced herself to calm down, took a sip, and felt cold through her heart, and sweet to her heart, after a few sips, the heat on her body went away, and she didn't feel comfortable.

Yang He slowly drank the iced white fungus lotus seed soup, and the woman in front of him was heroic, tall and cold, with a particularly concave figure, which was still pleasing to the eye.

He continued the topic earlier: "The positive side is that there are minerals, which can be a good job promotion, and in layman's terms, more people can have jobs. ”

Qian Sanniang hurriedly said: "Have a job to do?" ”

Yang He said: "Not bad. ”

He had the feeling that when he used to train his subordinate employees in the company, "There is a lot of manpower needed to open a mine, and even if the mine owner presses it, the miners still need basic daily necessities." The mined ore needs to be transported, smelted, and manpower, and a large amount of grain, rice, salt, tea, cloth, etc. If the surrounding towns could not supply it, they would have to be sent from afar, and a lot of manpower would be required. Then you need barns, cattle and horses, etc., and the local people have more opportunities to work. This large population and many industries require a large amount of consumption and entertainment, and often one or several towns are formed. ”

Qian Sanniang opened her mouth slightly when she heard this, she couldn't imagine that in a mine, Yang Xianggong could say so many ways, how did his head grow?

Yang He said: "If there are no minerals, it is not bad to be located in the key chong, the typical is Taizhuang Town, and the local area is okay." This side of the north-south highway is balanced, and caravans and pedestrians pass through every day, and a large number of mule-horse carts, hotels and restaurants are required to supply the needs of passengers. If everyone wants to eat and drink, the surrounding people can supply food, fruits, fish, groceries, etc., and also find a way to live. ”

Qian Sanniang listened carefully, her eyes were full of admiration, Yang Xianggong knew a lot, every time he listened to him, it seemed that he was standing at a distant level, so far-sighted, full of reason and thoughts.

He said in the lecture hall, "Height determines achievement", is this the height?

She was only afraid that she would not reach any heights and would not be able to help this man.

Unconsciously, she also confided in her heart: "What Yang Xianggong does, Sanniang follows, I am afraid that Sanniang will be dull and will not be able to help Yang Xianggong." ”

Yang He smiled and said: "Actually, you are already very good, you just want to read more books and change your thinking." ”

His hand gently pressed Qian Sanniang's hand, stroked it, and said softly: "If there is anything you don't understand in the future, you can ask me more." ”

Qian Sanniang's hand was pressed, her body trembled, her face was red, and after listening to Yang He's words, her heart was dizzy, and she seemed to be floating in the clouds.

Her heart trembled, and she was extremely sweet, thinking, "He really likes me?" Do you really want me? ”

The shadow of the tree is swaying, there are human voices outside, there are also whispering sounds in the house, and there are faint surprised eyes, it is the tea guest in the museum, the shopkeeper in the counter, etc., but Yang He didn't care, with his height, he just touched his hands, and he could touch it if he wanted to.

He looked at Qian Sanniang in front of him, seeing that she was hanging her head, shy and supple, this cold and glamorous woman was full of well-behaved in front of her, and the sustenance of life seemed to be in her eyes, and she was so fragile.

I thought to myself, "This is her first love." ”

And he is also a decisive person, that is, once you have a decision, you have to start cultivating feelings.

He stroked Qian Sanniang's hand, pondered, and then sighed, making Qian Sanniang's heart tremble.

Fortunately, Yang Xianggong continued to talk about "height", not because he was dissatisfied with her, "It's a pity that the world is not quiet, although this town is in an important place, it is still depressed after all." ”

He sighed and said: "Business travel is scarce, supply and demand are unbalanced, and all industries are depressed, if the couple just now may have barely lived before, if this continues, life will become more and more difficult." ”

Qian Sanniang couldn't help but say: "Looking at them, it seems that they are often hungry, but pity that pair of children, they are really well-behaved." ”

Yang He thought to himself that Qian Sanniang was indeed cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and she had a kind side in her heart.

He said: "Yes, the people are the most miserable, running all day long, but they do not have three meals, they are hungry and cold. ”

His words changed: "However, the cruel thing is that in this world, people who are hungry and cold often have nothing to do with etiquette and social development. ”

He said: "The world is so vast. The universe is so deep and vast. If you want to explore it, you can't find a trace of it even for thousands of years. If you can't get enough to eat, what can you talk about? No matter how big the world is, what does it have to do with you? ”
