After taking a shower with cold well water and taking a nap for an hour, Lin Feng woke up refreshed and felt full of strength. After saying a word to the servants waiting in the guest room, Lin Feng walked out of the palace and walked in the direction of Qingxiao Gate on foot.

While looking at this Southern Tang Dynasty scenery, Lin Feng secretly thought in his heart.

Since ancient times, there has been a ruling practice in Chinese dynastic society, the common people are like lambs in captivity, and the officials are shepherds; The scholar is like a lamb for provision, and the ruler is a shepherd. A wealthy merchant is like a free-range sheep, and an official is still a shepherd. The difference between different dynasties and different emperors is a degree word, depending on how they grasp the balance between supporting the people or stripping the people.

The official word has two mouths, once he turns his face, and he takes it, which makes it difficult for you to argue, so you can only be arrested. It is this Southern Tang Dynasty, in the original history of the Southern Tang Dynasty when Empress Li was in power, because the land in the north of the Yangtze River was lost, the salt production area in Huaibei was occupied, and he had to buy salt with a lot of money, coupled with a large amount of money to pay tribute to the Song Dynasty, the taxes on the people became heavier and heavier, until many years after the unification of the Northern Song Dynasty, many people still mentioned on various occasions and records, the painful memory that the Southern Tang Dynasty even had geese giving birth to twins and willow trees had to be taxed.

Lin Feng has a clear understanding of his current situation. Li Yuzhi's appreciation, just a beautiful soap bubble, poke and burst, in history, Li Yu under the suspicion of the fifth brother Hongji, even he himself lived tremblingly, how much self-protection can he have? In the end, political survival still depends on strength, and we must plan as early as possible and master our own strength.

Walking briskly on the street, looking at the tea shops, stationery shops, grain stores, clothing stores, and daily necessities stores on the side of the road, and looking at the crowds of people rubbing shoulders and smiling peacefully on the street, Lin Feng's interest in this Nantang became stronger and stronger.

After the Southern Tang Dynasty won the country, the ancestor Li Yu took the protection of the territory and the people as his basic national policy, lightly punished the meager endowment, persuaded the farmers to teach mulberry, encouraged commerce, and at the same time, made a truce and stopped the war, made peace with the neighbors, and formed a good alliance with the Khitan to contain the Central Plains regime. The stable development environment has created peace and stability in the Jianghuai and Jiangnan regions, and promoted the prosperity and development of the economy and culture of the Southern Tang Dynasty. The prosperity of handicrafts and commerce led to the vigorous development of Jinling, Runzhou, Quanzhou and other cities, and at this time the Southern Tang Dynasty had the prototype of commercial city development.

Business, business, where do you start? Lin Feng continued to think about his plan to increase his strength. At present, I have no funds and no power, so it seems that I can only start with modern business ideas.

After thinking about it, Lin Feng had already come to the incense and candle shop outside Qingxiao Gate, and sure enough, he saw Chen Fei who was playing nearby.

"Mr. Lin!" Chen Fei looked up and saw Lin Feng, immediately threw away the stone in his hand, and ran over quickly, "I haven't seen you for a few days!" ”

Lin Feng touched Chen Fei's head lovingly. Chen Fei is an orphan, Lin Feng met when he was working in the incense and candle shop, and saw that he took great care of other smaller orphans in the vicinity, and he loved him, and as long as he had spare money, he would help him and other orphans in the vicinity.

"Chen Fei, sir's current situation is much better than before, I want to ask you, would you like to follow me in the future, and our brothers will go to the world together?" Lin Feng looked at Chen Fei with pity.

Traveling to this era by himself, like a rootless Ping, isn't he also a real orphan? In his previous life, Lin Feng liked donkey walking, more as a backpacker by himself, and at most walked with donkey friends, he just liked the purity and ease of walking alone. When he first arrived in this era, at the very beginning, Lin Feng really liked the loneliness and tranquility brought by the fact that no one in the world knew him, but after a long time, the feeling of homesickness and homesickness was like a whirlpool from the bottom of the sea, which made waves on the surface of inner peace.

"Of course I do. Then I won't call you Mr. in the future, just call you big brother. Brother Lin, I want to ask, Xiaowen, do you want them? Chen Fei raised his head, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Of course, you go and get them all over, and I'll ask for their opinions." Lin Feng knew that Chen Fei grew up locally, while Xiaowen and the others came all the way from the north.

After a while, Chen Fei ran over with four children of different sizes. Lin Feng touched their heads one by one, and asked the youngest child, "How old are you, why haven't I seen you before?" ”

"I'm eight years old, my parents are far away, and they don't want me anymore." The little guy said, his eyes starting to turn red. Through the little guy's intermittent narration, Lin Feng learned that the child's name was Duan Rui, and his parents were presumed to be landless peasants from nearby villages who went to Jinling to beg for a living, and they were seriously ill in poverty but had no money to get medicine.

"Okay, Xiao Duanrui doesn't cry. If you don't have parents, your eldest brother will support you in the future, okay? Are you willing to follow Big Brother? Lin Feng asked in a sincere tone.

"Yes!" The five children shouted in unison.

"Is there anything else you want to take from the temple where you live?" Lin Feng looked at the five brothers, and his heart was excited. In addition to Chen Fei and Duan Rui, the other three children are Zhang Yuewen, Li Chun, and Qian Letao, these five people will be their brothers who will never leave them in the future, and they are no longer alone in this time and space.

"Nope!" Chen Fei and the others looked at each other, they lived in a dilapidated temple nearby every day, except for a few rotten quilts they picked up, there was really nothing to keep, as for the souvenirs left by their parents, they were always close to their bodies and never left them.

"Alright, let's go. Big brother will buy two clothes for each of you first. Lin Feng led them to a nearby garment shop.

Lin Feng ignored the surprised gaze of the ready-to-wear shop guy, and before he said anything to drive the child away, he showed his usual money. This was the winning prize for his long-distance running competition, and Li Yu and Li Congqian cashed it out on the spot.

As soon as he saw Tongbao, the guy's eyes lit up immediately. "Guest, please come in."

"Hurry up and find two suits for each of my five brothers." Lin Feng now has a relatively good idea of the prices in this era. A set of ordinary clothes, at most, is twenty Tongbao.

"Great! Don't worry, officer. The guy ran in quickly, and after a while he and the other guy came out with a bunch of clothes.

"Alright, you five brothers can choose for yourselves. Then, I changed all the clothes on my body. Lin Feng sat on a chair and smiled as they shouted and rushed towards the pile of clothes.

It didn't take long for the five brand-new children to stand in front of Lin Feng in unison, each holding a set of clothes in their hands.

"And shoes! Remember, each child will find two pairs of well-fitting soft-soled shoes. Lin Feng commanded again.

Rich and easy to do, after a while, the children came out in new shoes.

"Chen Fei, you go and ask for a burden, and carry everyone's clothes and shoes. We have something important to do. Lin Feng took the change recovered by the guy, handed it to Zhang Yuewen, and ordered: "Go and buy a five-color cake and a string of rock sugar gourds for everyone." ”

Zhang Yuewen stuffed the clothes into Duan Rui's hand and flew away.

Wearing new clothes and shoes, and eating daily dry and drooling pastries and rock sugar gourds, the five children were so happy that they jumped all the way, attracting the puzzled eyes of the passers-by around them from time to time. Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh, no wonder some people said that helping is the foundation of happiness, and if you help others, you are also very happy!

Under the leadership of Lin Feng, several people walked for nearly half an hour, and came to the blacksmith shop where Lin Feng exchanged knives for money after crossing, which was also an important fulcrum for Lin Feng to plan for the future.
