The problem of high housing prices, which has been a headache for the people of Kaifeng for almost a century, has finally been completely reversed under the governance of the Great Zhou Republic.

The people of Kaifeng no longer have to worry about the housing problem!

Well, most of them have drifted to the north, east, west, and south, and have drifted to Tianjin, Xuhai, Guanzhong, and Xiangyangfu.

A large city that could have accommodated more than a million people, now I wonder if there are 100,000 people? Therefore, the most valuable house for more than 100 years has become a cabbage in today's Kaifeng Mansion...... Oh, maybe not as well.

No matter how cheap the cabbage is, you have to buy it, and whoever wants to steal a cabbage from the market in Kaifeng Mansion may still be caught and hit the board.

But whoever wants to find an empty house in Kaifeng Mansion to live in is usually not arrested - most of the houses in this big city are empty, and it is a super ghost town! If Bai lives in, no one will report the crime, and if no one reports the crime, there will naturally be no soldiers in charge of the military to arrest him.

However, in addition to the low housing prices that the people like to see, other aspects of Kaifeng Fucheng are called miserable if they are described in one word.

Seventy or eighty percent of the urban area is empty, and you can't see a ghost for half a day. What used to be a bustling commercial center is now deserted. The talented and beautiful women who used to fill the entire city and made people envious are now gone. The huge Kaifeng government system either ran away or was abolished, and some of the officials and soldiers took refuge in the new dynasty and became the temporary officials of the Kaifeng government of the Great Zhou Republic.

The reason why they are "temporary officials" is mainly because the officials of the Great Zhou Republic must be citizens. The newly attached Kaifeng Prefecture did not begin issuing citizenship certificates, which were the basis for proving citizenship.

In order to obtain a citizenship card, even if it is a temporary citizenship card at the lowest level, it is necessary to join the army, obtain a certificate for graduation from a new university, or pay taxes and donations.

In other words, if the current temporary officials want to keep their jobs for a long time, they have to find a way to "donate" a citizenship.

There are still many wealthy merchants in Kaifeng Mansion who have not left, and they are still here to guard their depressed industries. Chang'an definitely does not have their place, and the Western Song Dynasty implemented a thorough anti-business policy! As for the news from Jingchu Xiangyang, it is also unsettling.

As for Jiangnan, Tianjin and Xuhai, they are somewhat attractive. Some of the rich businessmen who are active have gone. However, there are also some who stay in Kaifeng Mansion and guard their family business - the family business is mainly real estate, including houses in Kaifeng Mansion and land outside the city.

As a result, the board of the land of Qingzhang also hit them! Many wealthy businessmen lost their assets outside the city of Kaifeng. Around the New Year's Festival, many merchants who had lost their land also went to Wu Yiyong to make trouble, and they dispersed one after another in the obstruction of the republican army and the ignorance of the Kaifeng Mansion Yamen.

With the passage of time, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty finally faded from prosperity and became an ordinary medium-sized city.

Located in the southwest of the inner city of Kaifeng Prefecture, the Great Xiangguo Temple is still somewhat popular. The roast pig courtyard restaurant operated by Daxiangguo Temple has become the best restaurant in Kaifeng Mansion because of its cheap price and good quality, and the big meat that the soldiers and generals like.

It was time for dinner, and outside a box on the second floor of the Roast Pig Courtyard Restaurant next to the Zhouqiao Market, there were two samurai in chain mail guarding them, and there were obviously some big people inside.

An elderly fat monk walked in with a plate of meat and vegetables.

There were only two men and two women in the box, both men were dressed as Confucian scholars, wearing Confucian clothes sewn from Tianjin cloth, and there were straight knives stuck in their belts. The standard Tianli Confucian attire. One of them is twenty-six or seventeen years old, and it is actually Wu Yiyong, the eldest son of Wu Haogu. The other one in his thirties with a thick beard is Wu Yiyong's friend Wanyan Zongbi when he was a teenager.

The two women are rare beauties, not young, one is in his twenties, and he is by Zong Bi's side.

The other one is in his thirties, but his appearance and temperament are much better than those of the younger one, which completely makes up for the disadvantage of age, and as for the figure, he is even more plump and graceful. She accompanied Wu Yiyong, and her relationship with Wu Yiyong seemed very intimate, but it was extremely natural and not pretentious at all.

The big monk walked to the square table with a smile, and kept chattering while putting the meat and vegetables on the table.

"This is what it looks like when the gas is exhausted, Kaifeng Mansion is like this now, it is really a dead city! In the past, in such a vulgar place as the Roast Pig Courtyard, how could you see Senior Sister? Senior sister will have to pay 20 taels for a cup of tea! That's not everyone is qualified, and there is a chance that you can stay for tea...... What an honor! ”

Listening to the monk's nagging, the woman who was called the senior sister just smiled. Her name is Master Li! is not the Li Shishi that Wu Haogu met in his early years, but her adopted daughter, Li Shishi, who became Zhao Ji's lover in history.

In this time and space, she also worked as an outer chamber for Zhao Ji for several years, saved a lot of assets, and her reputation in the Qinglou line of Kaifeng Mansion was also very good.

Who doesn't know Master Li, the head of Kaifeng Oiran?

However, Zhao Ji did not take her with him when he fled, and she was unwilling to leave Kaifeng Mansion, where she had lived for more than 20 years. So he stayed in this "dead city".

And Wu Yiyong didn't know where to find out about this Master Li, and went to the door to ask for joy. Although Master Li had already washed his hands, he did not refuse Wu Yiyong, but did not accept prostitution and became his outer room. The two went in and out of Kaifeng Mansion and became a temporary husband and wife.

Wu Yiyong may have the fate of the head of state for ten years! This Master Li slept with the emperor first, and then the head of state, and there was really no one in the world. The woman in the Qinglou is really satisfied to do her part. At the moment, he just smiled, and did not take the monk's tone.

As soon as the monk left, Master Li said to Wu Yiyong: "Official, that monk and your father actually have a little relationship. He was the apprentice of the first generation of Roast Pig Courtyard masters, nicknamed Little Roast Pig Courtyard. After the death of the master of the Roast Pig Academy, he has been presiding over this restaurant. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be an old man." Wu Yiyong nodded lightly, "But what he said is not bad, Kaifeng Mansion is exhausted...... Senior sister, I'm going back to Tianjin in a while, you can come with me. ”

"Together?" Master Li pursed his lips, "Do you want to do housework?" ”

"Be a concubine." Wu Yiyong smiled, "But I don't have much money, so I can't afford you." ”

Master Li smiled: "The slave family has long been a broken flower and a willow, it is not worth anything, and the officials always can afford it." ”

"Okay, okay," Wanyan Zongbi couldn't stand a pair of dog men and women flirting in front of him, and said at the top of his voice, "What to buy?" If you want me to say, just grab it! ”

"You robber scholar!" Wu Yiyong smiled, "Why can't you change it for many years?" Oh, you don't have to change it, there will be a chance to grab it in the future. ”

"Rob? Where to grab it? Wanyan Zongbi's eyes lit up, and he asked with a smile.

Wu Yiyong's eyes swept over the woman next to Yan Zongbi, she was brought by Master Li, but he didn't know Wu Yiyong's identity - Master Li's mouth was naturally tight - now after listening to Yan Zongbi and Wu Yiyong discussing "robbery", I thought that I had met a thief, and I was trembling a little.

Master Li understood what Wu Yiyong meant, got up with a smile, and called the woman away.

There were no idle people waiting for him, Wu Yiyong ate the meat and vegetables of the roast pig courtyard, and talked to Wanyan Zongbi about the direction of the robbery.

"The Military Machinery Department of the capital has sent a document to allow you to go to Tianjin with me to discuss the westward relocation of the Jin Kingdom."

Wu Yiyong is a professional soldier who abides by the rules rather than a warlord, he has received military education in the knight's primary school since he was a child, and all kinds of rules and regulations have been imprinted into the bone marrow.

Therefore, he would not take it upon himself to reveal the contents of the confidential "Su Daji version" world map to Wanyan Zongbi. However, he used the form of a secret report to report his claim to the Military Machinery Department of the capital.

A few days ago, the reply of the Metropolitan Military Aircraft Division had been delivered to Kaifeng Prefecture, and yesterday Wu Yiyong led his troops to return and learned of the intentions of the Metropolitan Military Aircraft Division. That's why I made an appointment with Yan Zongbi today.

The reason why he didn't talk about this matter with Wanyan Zongbi in his Overseer Division was because Wanyan Zongbi was not officially visiting. Instead, he arrived as a secret envoy.

In addition, the Jin State and the Great Zhou Republic are still in a state of war.

"The Military Machinery Division thinks that Jin Guo can go west." Wu Yiyong said, "It traveled about 20,000 miles northwest from the Hetao irrigation area to the Attila (Volga) River basin. Set up a royal tent there, recuperate, and when you have recovered your vitality and continue your expedition westward, you will be able to reach the land of Europa. The land is rich, there are many small countries, and there is no powerful force that can stop you. ”

Well, the Golden Kingdom is going to become the Golden Horde! Eighteen principalities of Kievan Rus' are in bad luck......

"20,000 miles west?" Wanyan Zongbi frowned, "This is too embarrassing, isn't it?" Before the Song Kingdom came, my Jurchen son-in-law had to go 20,000 miles away, and it didn't make people laugh and break their big teeth when it spread to the grassland? ”

"That's right," Wu Yiyong nodded, "Then you'll have a fight?" If you win, you don't have to move west. ”

You can't win if you win...... Because the Western Song Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty had not yet ceased fighting, the armies of the two sides still maintained contact.

From Wu Yiyong's point of view, since the Western Song Dynasty carried out the retro reform, their army has obviously become stronger - of course! The laymen and civil officials who were originally supervising the division all got out of the way, and they were replaced by military experts from the Martial Arts Academy, and they all had the future of landlords and bullies, and of course their combat effectiveness increased significantly.

If it weren't for the fact that the Zhou army still had the advantage of artillery and muskets, I am afraid that it would not have been able to win with equal forces!

In the case of Jin Guo, whose combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the Zhou army and who does not have any firearms, he is afraid that his death will be even more ugly.

But it's better to weaken the Jin Kingdom, let them go to the Attila River Valley to develop slowly.
