Chapter 202: Pay for Meals

For fanatical believers like Yang Shuijiao, persuasion is useless, Wang Feng shook his head and said: "Miss Shuijiao, I'm sure that there are only two people in the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom who really believe in worshipping God, one is the Heavenly King, and the other is you!" ”

Yang Shuijiao glanced at Shi Dakai and Chen Yucheng, and said with a smile: "If they don't believe it, they won't be redeemed in the future, and the predicament faced by my heavenly kingdom is precisely because there are too many false believers, and the punishment from the god Huohua!" ”

Shi Dakai smiled bitterly, still smiled bitterly, and said with a bitter smile again: "Okay, don't argue about this for the time being, Brother Wang, although you can't get used to Tianjing's various actions, I hope you try to maintain restraint and don't conflict with Tianjing, let's slowly figure out a way together, come, this is the edict of the King of Heaven for you and Xiao Wangniang, you take it." ”

Shi Dakai didn't bother to read it, and directly handed over the edict.

Wang Feng didn't mean anything respectful, took it in his hand and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing and said: "Sister Xuanjiao, you are now the general system, and you have also been named a beautiful candidate, my mother, now you can't think of leaving a name for eternity!" ”

Hong Xuanjiao hurriedly grabbed it in her hand, and sure enough, the three big characters of Yanmei Hou were extremely dazzling, and she suddenly cried and laughed: "It's a shame that the king of heaven dares to think that he is not afraid of people's jokes if he has such an ugly name!" ”

It is undeniable that Hong Xuanjiao is a very beautiful woman, and Feng Yan is very appropriate, but this title itself contains an indescribable charming, and it is very vulgar.

The king of heaven, Hong Xiuquan, said that he was uneducated, he was born in a scholarly family, and he relied on himself to figure out a whole set of teachings of worshipping God, but to say that he was educated, he was born four times, and his poems were extremely vulgar.

Hong Xiuquan is addicted to poetry, poetry is used in teachings, poems are used in the rules of the inner palace, and poems are also used in edicts, more than ten days ago, a slight earthquake occurred in Nanjing, many people did not dare to sleep in the middle of the night, Hong Xiuquan issued an edict and said: The earth is really a sign of the new land, and at the same time it is good to punish demons today! The edict to Wang Feng and Hong Xuanjiao also said: Today, Ci'er is a beautiful wait, a beautiful and beautiful candidate, Su Song is too often to give Er, the prime minister of the spring official and the general system, and also said to Wang Feng: The little naughty son listens to my words, the righteousness of the kingdom of heaven must be remembered, the deputy of the spring official is added to the supervising army, and the left three inspections of the heavenly palace are given!

What else can be said about this? It can only show that Hong Xiuquan is not a normal person!

Hong Xuanjiao shook her head and said helplessly: "Yiwang, Yucheng, and Shui Jiao, it is rare for you to come to Suzhou, you might as well stay for a few more days, and let us enjoy the friendship of the landlord." ”

Shi Dakai also wanted to see what Suzhou had become of Wang Feng, Wang Feng had made many requests to the kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, could he do it himself? So he nodded and said, "Then it's troublesome Xiao Wangniang, while it's still early, it's better to go out for a walk." ”

In fact, Wang Feng and everyone below are a butt thing, but there is no way, they can't let the guests say that they don't understand the etiquette, so they have to happily stretch out their hands and signal: "Please!" ”

"It's hard work!" Shi Dakai nodded slightly, and was led out by Wang Feng

Since Shi Dakai wants to understand, then naturally take him to the most prosperous place, from Shantang Street to Changmen, the endless stream of cars and horses and a dazzling array of goods, Shi Dakai and Chen Yucheng who look directly are dizzying, and Yang Shuijiao seems to have withdrawn from the state of fanaticism, accompanied by Hong Xuanjiao and Zhou Xiuying, as long as her daughter has it at home, she almost sees what to buy, and it is not long before her hands are full of packages.

At that time, it was not fashionable for men to help women carry bags, Wang Feng naturally did not go to offer courtesy, he was just thinking about reversing Yang Shuijiao's beliefs, and at the same time enthusiastically introduced the street scene of Suzhou to Shi Chen and the others.

If Yang Shuijiao is an ordinary believer, Wang Feng is still a little sure, just like Alice, she can gradually give up her belief in Christianity in a subtle way, but Yang Shuijiao is a rare fanatical believer in the world, which is difficult to do.

Wang Feng secretly had a headache, and unconsciously, the sky gradually darkened, so Wang Feng led everyone to Deyue Tower and called a private room.

Although there are no overly luxurious and expensive dishes, they are also dominated by more exquisite Suzhou signature dishes, such as squirrel osmanthus fish, called Hua chicken, eel paste, steamed anchovies, steamed pork with lotus leaf powder, pickled bamboo shoots, etc.

In fact, in the Taiping Army, more than ninety percent of the soldiers live a tight life, relying on the ration of coarse tea and light rice every day, which is similar to Wang Feng's food some time ago, or even worse most of the time, this can't be helped, the population under the Taiping Army is not much, and a considerable part of them have to build infrastructure for the kings, although the rest are driven out to work, but the people are all resentful, and they can't work hard, plus they run away when they have the opportunity, the efficiency can be imagined, and it is already very difficult to support such a large army, To satisfy the luxurious life of the kings, it can only be the sacrifice of ordinary warriors in terms of life.

Although Chen Yucheng is the official residence of the canonical holy grain, he has not been sealed and cannot enjoy privileges, and he is also the kind of person who needs to make sacrifices.

In the process of changing the glass, time passed quickly, and the table full of wine and food was swept away, Wang Feng shouted out: "Pay!" ”

"Come on!" The boss of Deyue Building, a chubby middle-aged man pushed the door in, bowed respectfully, and said: "Commander Wang, I will benefit twenty taels of silver, since you are an old customer, I will give you a nine-fold discount, only eighteen taels of silver." ”

Hong Xuanjiao took out twenty taels of silver from her bag, handed it over and said, "Don't look for it, give us some osmanthus cake for the rest to take away, remember to divide it into two packs." ”

"Commander Hong, please wait a moment, I'll be here soon!" The middle-aged fat man happily took the silver and withdrew.

As soon as the boss left, Yang Shuijiao couldn't help but say, "Sister Xuanjiao, why do you still have to give money for dinner?" Isn't Suzhou all yours? ”

Wang Feng took it and said: "It's natural to pay for dinner, and we didn't open the Moon Tower, what is the difference between eating white food and Qing Dynasty officials?" In addition, I would like to correct your erroneous viewpoint, Suzhou is not ours, we are only the managers of Suzhou, and Suzhou belongs to the people of Suzhou. ”

Yang Shuijiao muttered: "Even if what you say makes sense, then the government has to pay for it, right?" ”

Wang Feng nodded: "It's not that the government can't pay for public servants, but it must strictly distinguish between public and private scope, for example, today, we are a private banquet, there is no reason to record it in the government account, Chinese are used to eating and drinking at public expense, and in the name of it: I am not corrupt, I do not accept bribes, what is the point of eating and drinking?" Then I sue you, this is not allowed, found that together to investigate and deal with together, can not stand the roll up and leave, I have pointed out more than once, China lacks everything, but there is no shortage of people, I don't believe that I can't find someone to be an official! ”

Hong Xuanjiao also said: "The strict rules are not unreasonable, eating and drinking at public funds not only infringes on the interests of all taxpayers, but also is a de facto corruption. ”

Shi Dakai said with emotion: "Shi just noticed that when the boss came in, he didn't have too much fear, only with heartfelt respect and the joy of earning money, Brother Wang is in charge of the government and does not disturb the people, separates public and private, and gets along with the people. ”

Zhou Xiuying glanced at Wang Feng with rare pride, and said with a smile: "As far as I know, the money used for the maintenance of this Deyue Building every month is about nearly 1,000 taels for the Qing Dynasty officials to eat and drink for nothing, and now a lot of silver has been saved. ”

"Hey~~" Shi Dakai sighed, didn't say anything, the ruins of Nanjing and the prosperity of Suzhou are in stark contrast, facts speak louder than words, any language to justify the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is so pale and weak, he can't help but think about what is the purpose of his participation in the uprising, is it for his own enjoyment, or to save the suffering people of the world? Is what you have done in the past three years in line with the intent of the uprising? Do you live up to your conscience?

Chen Yucheng followed up and asked, "What did the commander and military commander mentioned by the boss just now?" ”

"Oh? Hehe~~" Wang Feng said with a haha: "A while ago, we developed too fast, but the establishment was still at the level of the commander of the Taiping Army, and the whole army was too bloated, and it was difficult to issue orders effectively, so the army was reorganized." ”

Wang Feng did not give an overview of the Democratic Alliance Army, obviously reluctant to say more in this regard, but Chen Yucheng also saw it and did not ask again.

While speaking, the boss sent the packaged osmanthus cake in, and the osmanthus cake of two taels of silver filled two large bamboo baskets, and the overflowing sweet fragrance, even if everyone was full, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Hong Xuanjiao lifted a box and handed it to Chen Yucheng and said: "You and Yiwang take this box, eat it as a supper when you are hungry at night, come, while the time is still early, let's visit the Suzhou Night Market again, the night market and the daytime market are a style, we will go back after shopping, you can temporarily live in the Master of Nets Garden, save another arrangement." ”

"Then it's troublesome Sister Xuanjiao." Chen Yucheng was also polite and took the osmanthus cake.

Everyone noticed that Chen Yucheng's name for Hong Xuanjiao had changed, and Hong Xuanjiao showed the appearance of a hostess everywhere, especially Wang Feng beckoned to pay, but it was Hong Xuanjiao who paid, this detail also fully shows that the two have been mixed together, and it is obviously inappropriate to call Xiao Wangniang again.
