Chapter 522: Slander Comes First

The fastidious King Zhou finally settled on a restaurant called Yebojin.

This restaurant is not like most of the market, carrying a bright flag, and there is a shopkeeper at the door who opens his voice to attract customers, and even at a glance it does not look like a restaurant at all and makes people misunderstand it as a deep house compound.

Spring Return: ......

Why do you feel like you're in the wrong place or in the wrong place?

The female shopkeeper saw that there were only three men in the group of diners, she was also stunned for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, she came forward to greet enthusiastically: "My restaurant is for the convenience of the nobles and officials, so there is no lobby for all the elegant rooms, and the little woman will come forward to greet first, and a few women are not accompanied by female dependents, please go to the east to the verandah, and when you enter the moon cave door, there will be a shop guy to greet you." ”

Thousands of choices actually chose a restaurant that is convenient for female customers? Chungui could barely hold back his laughter.

King Zhou also darkened his face: "Don't you have a lobby at home?" ”

"It's really not a lobby, but the son wants to go to a restaurant with a lobby, and the little woman can also recommend a nine-back incense, just across the corner from our store, although his house is not as quiet and elegant as our store, but the furnishings in the lobby are also a little interesting, both lively, and not noisy."

This female shopkeeper is indeed well-behaved, and at a glance she can see that King Zhou is quiet and elegant here, but she is unwilling to sit alone in the box, and her recommendation is very considerate to alleviate King Zhou's embarrassment, so although the three of them have never sat here at all, the female shopkeeper of this restaurant has also received a reward.

When he stepped into the first step of the Jiuhui Xiang Hall, King Zhou used his afterglow to notice that Chungui was more willing to eat and drink in this place, he couldn't help frowning, and suddenly felt a little dissatisfied that this was not in his "foreknowledge", and looked at Lan Ting with his afterglow, and found that he seemed to have chosen a table that matched his heart for Chungui, but as if to satisfy himself, he stepped forward to discuss: "Second brother doesn't like to be too noisy, let's sit at the table by the window, there is still a flower shelf between them." ”

The "second brother" nodded indispensably and took the lead to sit down by the window.

Chun Gui didn't notice King Zhou's sudden fall, she looked at everything in the restaurant curiously.

The tables by the window are separated by flower stands, and the tables in them are all open, but the distance between the tables is very wide, which can completely accommodate the guys who serve the food to shuttle and fly. There are no female guests in the lobby, there are two or three people at a table of laughter and chat, and there are also seven or eight people at a table of staggering, which is the reason why the wine and food of this restaurant are expensive, and the guests in the hall do not see the brown cloth clothes of the caftan, although there are also scribes and Confucian scholars, but most of them are merchants.

Although there must be a temporary berthed here of travelers, but there should be no lack of people who take Jinling City as their destination, because it is close to noon when they get off the boat, by the way, they have lunch in this street market, and they even hear a table of guests talking, they are to send their confidants to travel far away, so they put up a candied wine in Jiuhui Xiang.

They don't have much sorrow about separation, toasting the travelers to have smooth sailing, and even making an appointment to meet in a different place in the coming year, today's travelers, in turn, want to catch the wind for today's send-offs.

Some people talk about Jinling City, and it can be seen that although he is only a passer-by this time, he seems to have lived in this place where the tiger is standing on the dragon plate, so he is like a treasure to his companions, and he tells the market scenery of this gentle and prosperous township in detail.

And the topic finally extended from Jinling City, to Suzhou and Hangzhou, and even to Huizhou, the silk case in Shexian County 20 years ago was also brought up again.

Chun Guitu listened to a person and said: "Now the three princes of Qi, Qin, and Zhou are competing for the throne, and the king of Zhou is the supervisor of the south of the Yangtze River, and the performance of this year is related to whether the king of Zhou can get the prince, but how should the performance be reflected?" The most obvious is the tax revenue of Zengmin City, the treasury of the imperial court, I think the four provinces in the south of the Yangtze River from this year, the common people are afraid to suffer a little. ”

This next week, Wang and Chun Gui's eyes couldn't help but skim to the person who spoke, but Lan Ting seemed to be deaf, chewing a spoonful of snail shrimp and chewing slowly, and seemed to squint the corners of his eyes slightly.

"Are taxes really going to increase this time? I don't think so. One person hurriedly said: "Isn't it that the new tax system advocated by Xu Ge Lao is for the sake of lightening the people and ensuring the safety of the society?" And the emperor has ordered a trial in Jiangnan, even if King Zhou values his achievements, he can't go against the emperor's proposition. ”

"Since the Tang and Song dynasties, whenever the tax system is reformed, it is not said that the people are lightly endowed with security, but it is still based on the abundance of the inner treasury, and the small people of Shengdou can get some light reductions at first, then it is time to thank the gods and Buddhas of heaven and earth." The white-faced scholar who provoked this topic at first made nonsense again.

King Zhou glanced over again, but it was not to look at this person - singled out in a restaurant with many merchants, and suddenly this kind of political talk occurred, this person was either a party member of the two kings of Qi and Qin, or at least the spear of the two princes' party, and the identity of the origin was not worth speculating, but King Zhou was a little angry at this time.

He didn't comment on other emperors, and even he once refuted that the Xining changes in the Song Dynasty were not for the people, and the fundamental solution was the financial crisis of the imperial court, but King Zhou never recognized it

For Emperor Hongfu, that is, his father, he also started from his own interests, but now he really did his best to light the people and empower the society.

This person dares to slander the reputation of virtue and politics in public, it seems that he is really too merciful today, and now the people in the market not only dare to discuss politics, but also dare to openly disrespect the monarch!

Of course, the most hateful thing is the mastermind behind this person!!

King Zhou was determined to keep in mind the appearance of this person's eyebrows and eyes.

Chun Gui's words to the white-faced scholar are also particularly jealous, but if she speaks, she will immediately expose the Qiao dress of a woman disguised as a man, and the vast majority of men in this era disdain "women's opinions", so even if she refutes, it is difficult to achieve the effect, so she turned around and looked at Lan Ting......

This kind of charging work is not suitable for His Royal Highness King Zhou to go out in person, right?

Lan Ting seemed to be addicted to the taste of the snail shrimp, kept tasting it, saw the eyes of the spring return, and picked up the white porcelain soup to fill a spoonful for her.

Spring Return: ......

So I tasted the taste of shrimp, and was immediately pleased by the deliciousness, squinting at Lan Ting and bowing his head, indicating that this was really a delicacy that was difficult to taste elsewhere.

King Zhou: ......

How can this kind of resentment that I am superfluous at all and shouldn't sit here and get in the way of my eyes?!

The white-faced scholar's words continued-

"Yu listens to Brother Ren's accent, when you are a non-Jiangnan person, you don't have to worry about being burdened by King Zhou's supervision, so why worry so much?" This was addressed to the man who had just argued that taxes should not be increased.

The man said: "Although my ancestral home is not in Jiangnan, don't say that there are many shops in Jinling, and I have also purchased a lot of properties in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and I don't hide it from my little brother. ”

"Brother Ren is a businessman, I'm afraid I really have to make a plan early, who doesn't know that Jiangnan is rich, especially the business is developed, and the money and grain that the small people can't get from the Shengdou small people, but the rich businessman is only regarded as a drop in the bucket, if I am the king of Zhou, I will not exploit the common people and small farmers, and only put the idea on the business market, and I can have both fame and fortune." The white-faced scholar laughed.

For a moment, the restaurant felt like a pot.

King Zhou looked at Lan Ting and Chungui with a dark face, immersed in the food and couldn't extricate himself, the plate of Biluo shrimp soon only had soup left, and the husband and wife were holding on to each other, and they didn't pay attention to the boiling of the restaurant at all, he was angry and distressed, and snorted: "Biluo shrimp need another plate?" ”

Lan Ting smiled slightly: "It's too much." ”

King Zhou finally couldn't help but roll his eyes.
