"Don't be afraid, I'm ......"

Rong Yu looked at Shao Beicheng, he had not yet grown up, his eyebrows and eyes were still green, but his expression was extremely serious.

She believed in his sincerity in saying it to her......

However, he could not live up to that promise.

He was destined to die young, unable to protect her for the rest of her life......

It does not matter......

Just like in her previous life, after he died, she would care about him for a long time in her heart.

Watch the rising and setting of the sun and the moon and the scenery of the world on his behalf;

take care of his mother and family for him;

Help him fulfill his unfulfilled wishes......

Rong Yu thought for a while and said to Shao Beicheng: "I am not a delicate lady of the deep boudoir, I can only hide behind you and be protected by you......"

"I also want to say to you: Don't be afraid, I have me!"

"No matter what happens to you in the future, you will remember what I said to you today!"

……

Since April, Shao Nanyan and Guo'er have developed a common hobby, and they are becoming increasingly obsessed: guessing silver.

In fact, not only these two little girls, but also many people are gradually keen on this.

For example, at the door of the Tongcheng branch of the Zhengtong Silver Account, a handful of people began to gather to discuss and study guessing silver, rain or shine......

Most of the half-immortals who tell fortunes have also added a new business: guessing silver......

"Guess the Secret of Silver", "How to Get Rich Overnight", "Ten Years of Cold Window, It's Better to Guess Silver!" and other books are best-selling in the country......

For this national frenzy, Rong Yu is very calm.

After all, it's the second time I've experienced it......

Moreover, in her previous life, she was also a senior silver guessing enthusiast......

Guessing silver is the big business of Rong Ying and Shen Wenshui's cooperation.

The so-called guess silver, that is, guess the number of silver, divided into three, choose five, respectively, means from zero to nine of the ten numbers to choose three or five as a note, only two copper coins can buy a note.

At the beginning of each month, the people of Dazhou can hold the account book to any Zhengtong silver number to purchase and register.

In the middle of each month, stop betting for the current month, and the registration results will be summarized to the general number of Kyoto City.

At the end of each month, Zhengtong silver number total number lottery: a hundred pieces of paper with numbers written (from zero to nine, ten pieces of each number) sealed in a thin bamboo tube, placed in the basket, and then ordered to raise the macaque randomly take out five bamboo tubes, open in public, the first three numbers are the three winning numbers of the month, and these five numbers are the five winning numbers of the month.

There must be no errors in the numbers and sequences......

It's all a matter of luck......

If you guessed correctly......

Then, one bet to choose three can get a silver bounty, and one bet to choose five can get a silver bounty!

Who doesn't have two copper coins?

Guess three or five numbers, and two copper coins will hopefully turn into silver......

Although it is not a panacea, it is very attractive to ordinary people who have no way to seek wealth......

And not only for the poor......

Who doesn't love money in this world?

Like Rong Yu in the previous life and Shao Nanyan now, they are not bad money, and they are still enthusiastic......

Reliving a lifetime, Rong Yu's interest in money is not high now......

More importantly, she has seen that although everyone bets with the beautiful vision of getting rich, the vast majority of people can't make a fortune by "guessing money......

Although the name of "guess the silver" is good, it is actually a kind of gambling......

Indeed, there are a few lucky people who smoke from the ancestral tombs, relying on "guessing the silver", once turned over.

However, nine out of ten bets are lost, and only the dealer wins steadily.

In her previous life, she spent more money on betting than she won in prizes......

So now, when she looks at this frenzy again, she thinks of a deeper level than in her previous life.

To be able to conceive such an unprecedented and rare business, she admires Rong Ying, the initiator behind the scenes, in addition to admiration......

As long as there are men in the world, there will be business in Qinglou;

As long as there are people in the world who love money, guessing silver will inevitably have business......

Two pennies is naturally insignificant......

But what if the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty took out two pennies each?

In fact, it may be more than two cents per person......

Because, many people don't buy just one bet......

This is the monthly income of the guess silver business......

If you remove the bonuses issued in the month, they are all earnings......

The benefits are huge, and it's amazing to think about.

Dig deeper......

With the high taxes paid by this proceeds, the emperor did not have to convince the elders of the cabinet, nor did he have to raise taxes, so that he could raise military expenses for the second northern expedition.

Therefore, Duanwang can return to the military department!

Duanwang was in the Ministry of Industry, controlled the water for three years, understood the mountains and rivers, and gained the hearts of the people;

He was in the Criminal Department, judged cases and was in charge of prisons, and mastered the unknown actions of many court officials;

Leaning on the Shen family, gold and silver are safe;

Then go back to the military headquarters, with heavy troops in hand......

This is the general trend today.

Even if the Ma family did not overturn......

Even if the concubine did not separate from the emperor......

King Ying and King Chen are also hard to beat King Duan!

It is now April of the second year of Youning, and the prince is about to die......

After the death of the crown prince, it is the dragon son who will take the heir.

Guess what silver is......

In the big gamble of winning the heir, whether you can bet on it or not is crucial to the prosperity of the wealthy families in the next few decades!

In addition to the emperor and Duanwang, as the initiators, the Shen family also benefited a lot.

Because of the cooperation with Zhengtong Yinhao to guess the silver business, the Shen family was able to invest in Zhengtong Yinhao!

What does it mean for a businessman to take a stake in a government-run silver account?

If there is a big week, there will be a Zhengtong silver number;

If there is a Zhengtong silver number, there will be the wealth of the Shen family!

The lowly businessman has actually melted into the economic lifeline of the huge empire!

It is more honorable than the so-called "imperial merchants" of all previous dynasties......

Such a Shen family may be the highest point that a businessman can achieve......

This unprecedented move is just one of Rong Ying's many schemes!

……

Shao Nanyan and Guo'er are not only keen on guessing silver, but also keen on persuading people around them to participate in guessing silver......

It is not difficult to persuade other people, even Guo'er's mother and Aunt Peng, who slammed the door, couldn't help but be tempted to bet.

The difficult thing is to persuade Rong Yu......

Shao Nanyan didn't understand Rong Yu very much: "Don't you want to get rich?" ”

"Take Pick Three as an example, if you guess correctly, you can get one or two silver coins for two copper coins!"

"Buy ten bets, and you will get ten taels of silver!"

"Buy a hundred bets, and you will get a hundred taels of silver!"

Rong Yu: ......

Rong Yu smiled slightly: "I really have no interest......

"Maybe it's because I'm not bad for money......"

Shao Nanyan: ......

……

Rong Yu's mind is now on another matter.

The weather is getting warmer, the snow is melting faster, and the water of the Xiaochun River, which has been dry for a winter, is gradually abundant.

Outside Tongcheng, the decay rate of corpses by the river is also accelerating, and the city can also smell the smell of rotting corpses wafting in the wind.

Mu Linyuan has frequently visited the General's Mansion in the past few days to discuss with Shao Beicheng about the disposal of the rotting corpse.

If the carrion pollutes the water source, it is very likely to cause a plague.

The corpses by the river are all armor that sacrificed their lives for the country, and there are even the remains of Shao Beicheng's father and brother.

Therefore, Shao Beicheng proposed to send soldiers to collect the corpses and bury them in a unified manner.

Mu Linyuan believes that there are still hidden dangers in burying them, and it is safer to incinerate the corpses after collecting them.

Cremating corpses, in the eyes of Han people who pay attention to funeral etiquette, is to break bones and scatter ashes! It is a great disrespect to the dead!

Therefore, although Mu Linyuan's opinion is reasonable, if the body is rashly burned, it is very likely to cause an uproar among the people.

It is already sad that the soldiers sacrificed their lives for the country, and they could not return to their homeland, and their remnants were tragically incinerated!

The armor stationed in Tongcheng may also change angrily.

In the final analysis, the disposal of the rotting corpse is related to the livelihood of the people in Tongcheng and is the responsibility of the prefect of Ma, not the guard general Shao Beicheng and Mu Linyuan, a folk doctor......

But in this world, there are officials like the prefect of Arima, who are vegetarian, pretending to be deaf and dumb, and doing nothing......

If there is a plague, they will deceive and deceive their superiors and subordinates, and whitewash the peace......

If you can't hide it, you will ask for responsibility from above, and you will do everything possible to shirk and protect yourself......

It's a pity that such a person can be a "parent official" in a city just because of his surname "Ma......

In the last years of the previous dynasty, the imperial court was corrupt, natural disasters were frequent, and the people were struggling to make a living.

Emperor Taizu complied with the will of heaven and rose up for the common people......

After several years of hard fighting between the north and the south, the world was finally decided.

At that time, what he wanted to create must be an empire different from the previous dynasty.

The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, the Haiyan River is clear, and the country and the people are safe......

Now it is only a hundred years, and under the appearance of prosperity, the officialdom is gradually corrupted, the civil officials are drowned in party disputes, and the nobles are more luxurious......

The taxes and servitude of the imperial court, the amortization of the vassal kings, and the oppression of the gentry and the gentry all pressed on the heads of the people......

It is more and more similar to the previous dynasty contained in the history books......

Today's Great Zhou is probably not the prosperous era that Emperor Taizu had hoped for......
