Chapter 14 Who dares to crush the begonias

Yongzhou was an important military town of the Dayan Dynasty. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 As the hub of the Northwest and the Central Plains, there is not only the civilization and civilization of the ceremonial state, but also the fierceness and ferocity of the nomads.

It is the most geographically located prefecture in Zhuori Province, and although it is still a prefecture in name, its political status is not inferior to that of a prefecture. Successive governors of Yongzhou have to receive the official titles of Zheng Sipin, including the current Lord Sun Daoyuan of Zhizhou, who has been re-elected for 14 years.

On the northeast side of the center of Yongzhou City is the mansion of Sun Daoyuan of Nazhizhou, and the simple and rustic gate is hung with a plaque of "Zhizhou Mansion", which looks like an ordinary merchant's mansion from the outside. According to the law of Dayan, the width of the main hall of the residence of the third and fourth grade officials shall not exceed seven, and the depth shall not exceed nine, which can be made into an I-shaped hall, built on the top of the mountain, and decorated with hanging fish and grass. In this way, the mansion of Yongzhou Zhizhou is not even half of the national standard, not to mention exceeding the standard.

Because of this, Sun Daoyuan became famous in the officialdom of Zhuori Province. He served as the governor of the state for 14 years, and he worked hard all day long, but he was never promoted, probably because he had no backer behind him.

However, no matter how dilapidated Zhizhou's mansion is, it is undoubtedly a landmark building in Yongzhou City. The whole city every day countless government affairs, business have to be reviewed and approved here, naturally surrounded by a large number of official and commercial mansions, I think people are also following a "near the water building first get the moon" truth, in vain to try to tie up the Yongzhou emperor.

The scenery is that in a piece of splendor, carved railings and jade bricks, there is actually a dilapidated hut, standing for 14 years, the withered vines are crawling all over the green bricks and white tiles, it seems quiet and deep, not like the Qionglou Yuyu in the prosperous area.

At this moment, there was an intermittent conversation between the two in this hut.

"Lord, Xiao Zixuan is too arrogant! The slave and the maid and the brother followed your teachings and asked Wu Yuman to open the door to welcome guests. Who would have thought that Xiao Zixuan was arrogant, not only beating his brother, but also occupying Wu Yuman, for a month, and he didn't take the lord in his eyes too much. ”

No one answered for a long time, and suddenly a hoarse and low voice sounded, difficult and ugly: "Let me ask you, how many taels of silver did Xiao Zixuan give you." ”

"With the previous five hundred taels, a total of fifteen hundred taels."

"Let me ask you again, the moon mill throws away the food and clothing, and the quartet dots, and the annual net profit is geometric."

"About 9,000 bills."

"Then what are you talking about with Xiao Zixuan?"

Aunt Su's voice stagnated, and after a while, she still said: "Although Xiao Zixuan is wealthy, his words and deeds are informal, arrogant and domineering, if he always follows his temperament, I am afraid that the officials and masters of the entire Yongzhou City will be offended, and then taking Xiao Zixuan's silver is tantamount to drying up and fishing!" ”

"Are you trying to teach me a lesson?"

Su Lao Bustard was shocked, and knelt on the ground sweating profusely: "The slave doesn't dare!" ”

After a while, the man in the shadows continued, "You don't have to worry. How could Xiao Zixuan offend the officials of Yongzhou City? He can't afford to offend. ”

Su Lao Bustard was still unwilling and dissuaded: "But the son of He Qilian of the He family in the north of the city has been beaten by Xiao Zixuan, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will really attract countless open guns and hidden arrows...... If we lose our support one day, I'm afraid that now these Oirans will be like grass on the wall, scattering and fleeing into other song and dance venues......"

"What kind of character is He Qilian?"

"Gongzi He is a newly closed disciple of Mr. Nanqu some time ago, I am afraid that in the future, he will at least be a Chang Jishi, and he is a noble koi, at this time, the dragon gate has passed half a level, just wait for the wind to make steady progress!"

"I haven't heard of his name, what kind of person. After he returned from the Qionglin Imperial Banquet, it was the climate. ”

"But that's not all......"

The man in the shadows said coldly: "There is no need to mention this matter again, you have always relied on Xiao Zixuan." If there is nothing else, you can step down. ”

Aunt Su pursed her lips bitterly, let go of the obsession in her heart, knelt on the ground and whispered, "The slave has another matter." ”

The man in the shadows did not answer.

Her lips twitched for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Cheng Kai, the tax ambassador personally nominated by Sun Daoyuan, will be inseparable from us as soon as he gets out of the car. The slave maid visited the door three times and twice, but this guy always refused to let go, seized power and did not accept bribes, which is a big taboo in officialdom! Or is he greedy enough to swallow elephants, and really wants to do it all? (One Side: A Metaphor of 110,000, Officialdom Nonsense)

She held her heart and said resentfully: "The skin and flesh business of the Moon Tilting Workshop has been reduced to a tax rate of one out of fifteen after our bribery and coercion. But who would have thought that after Cheng Kai arrived, he would return to earning ten taxes and two, which is how a group of sisters can make a living. ”

In the Dayan Dynasty, if iron was smelted, "the people had to mine and smelt themselves, and they were taxed every year, taking two out of every thirty cents"; If it is a monopoly in the salt industry, no matter according to the tax law of salt in the banknote or nano salt, the maximum is one for twenty and two for twenty; However, only the brothels in Qinglou have to pay all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes under various names, and the tax rate stipulated by the household department alone has reached 1 in 10 taxes, and the local tax department will even double it on this basis to 2 taxes in order to expand its fiscal revenue.

Cheng Kai, the new ambassador of Yongzhou's tax department from the Nine Grades Tax Division, has to levy one-fifth of the tax on the Moon Fang, which must be harsh and heavy.

The man in the shadows coughed and sneered: "Just do a good job, let's sell a bitter meat trick, is it possible that he can really see everything?" Hmph, I'm afraid that Cheng Kai neither wants to take the opportunity to fill his pockets, nor does he intend to be a benevolent official with two sleeves and a clean breeze. You have time to investigate the relationship between him and Sun Daoyuan, and I hope that Sun Daoyuan, the flame that has been burning for fourteen years and is about to be extinguished, will not burn to my eyebrows first......"

Aunt Su understands in her heart, the meaning of the lord is nothing more than to make two accounts, one true and one false, originally the reward of the benefactor in the brothel is more than the clear price, if it is really a fake account, let Cheng Kai be careful and secretly visit, he can't knock on the mouths of the prostitutes one by one, and calculate the accounts of the moon square.

Aunt Su bowed respectfully, and then Nana walked out of the hut, only to see her milk waves and buttocks dazzling white flowers, and the foxy Danfeng eyes were extremely charming.

To say that the pharmacy in Yongzhou City, regardless of the size or size, there are one or twenty of them, after all, the location is close to the northwest, the land is large, and the output of various rubber and tendon medicinal materials is abundant.

On this day, a boy in black suddenly visited all the pharmacies in the city, and each pharmacy bought four or five yuan of raw gypsum, and the symptoms were said to be lung fever, wheezing, cough, upset and thirsty. Lang Zhong is not suspicious, after all, in the spring and winter season, it is normal to occasionally feel cold.

After a while, the black-clothed boy swaggered into the Moon Workshop with two catties of gypsum, of course, with a lot of almonds and ephedra in his hands.

As soon as Lang Zhong heard that he had lung fever, they enthusiastically packed a few taels of auxiliary medicines, such as ephedra and almonds, to clear lung fever and relieve cough and asthma.

The boy in black is Xiao Zixuan, he looked helplessly at the bulging package in his hand, there was no way, in order to hide people's eyes, he could only pretend to be sick.

At this time, the Moon Falling Fang is still quite lively, many girls are tired and sleepy at night, and they are still making up for sleep at this time, but there are still some singers and dancers, in order to earn a few more taels of silver, dragging their weak bodies out to cheer up the men.

For scholars, they must not prostitute themselves during the day, let alone prostitution, and they dare not speak out openly during their lunch break.

Two thousand years ago, the Supreme Sage of Confucius taught his disciples, and the original text said:

Zai Yu sleeps in the day, and the son says: "Rotten wood cannot be carved, and the wall of dung cannot be encircled!" Yu Yu and He Xu? ”

The gist is that Zai Yu slept during the day, angered the teacher, and was scolded by the great sage of Confucius to the point of squirting blood.

Therefore, no matter how romantic the scholars of Yongzhou City are, they definitely don't dare to sleep with the sister of the Moon Sect in their arms during the day, at most, they will eat a few mouthfuls of rouge with their faces arched and bend down to taste a few grapes.

Celebrities and gentlemen are naturally romantic, and the scholars and doctors of the Dayan Dynasty have never tabooed women, and it has always been a high-grade elegant thing to add fragrance to red sleeves, listen to songs and dances.

Sure enough, before Xiao Zixuan walked back to Wu Yuman's room, he saw Wu Yuman holding an old man's arm with a smile, and walked towards a private room.

At this time, it was noon, and the poor people were still working hard, but the dignitaries naturally had to eat lunch, and three meals a day was a luxury that the poor people did not dare to hope for.

I saw Wu Yuman dressed in white, lined with blue water lines, and the clothes were delicate, showing her concave and convex graceful figure undoubtedly. When the lotus step moved slightly, the waist and abdomen faintly revealed a few inches of creamy jade-like skin, bewitching and charming.

Xiao Zixuan frowned when he saw this scene, he was not jealous, he didn't want to cause too many incidents now, but he was deeply dissatisfied with Su Laoxuan's repeated provocations.

He gave her a thousand taels of silver, which was enough to redeem Wu Yuman, Su Lao Bustard actually dared to arrange for Wu Yuman to pick up guests three times and twice, and really thought that his name as a bully in Yongzhou City was called for nothing?!

Damn, if it's a handsome and dignified young man, Lao Tzu can still spare your life; But you are actually a drooping old man covered in age spots and whose skin is rougher than tree bark, and you really think that you can spread a romantic affair of pear blossoms pressing begonias?

Xiao Zixuan was vicious, and took advantage of Wu Yuman and the bad old man not paying attention, and followed them to the door of a private room.

He decided to wait for the opportunity to move, if that bad old man really dared to do anything to Wu Yuman, Lao Tzu would have to slaughter you.
