Chapter 741: The Founding of the State

Entering the gate of the county seat, not to mention this little guy who came from afar and had no knowledge, even Steward Liu was dumbfounded, raised his hand and swept away the two drops of crystal sweat from the corner of his forehead, and exhaled, half puzzled, half admiring: "...... When I get old in the future, I will take my mother-in-law to settle down here, even Lao Tzu Niang will not say anything about the homeland. ”

It's hard to leave a fart, you can live in such a place, you don't have legs and just need to climb, and you're willing to crawl over.

The houses on the left and right are all green bricks and green tiles, which look neat and beautiful.

The streets are even wider, made of large blocks of bluestone, smooth and tidy, never cluttered elsewhere, and look particularly clean.

From time to time, you can see benches placed under the trees, stone tables and benches resting on the chairs, and carved chessboards on the tables.

Steward Liu and his entourage seem to be able to see that in late summer and autumn, after tea and dinner, the idle old man leads his children and grandchildren, sits under the tree to enjoy the shade, plays chess and chats, isn't it leisurely?

Today, the city is even more special, as it can be seen that there are flowers everywhere, on both sides of the market, the houses of blue bricks and green tiles are decorated with countless ribbons, and many tables are placed on the ground, on which are placed drinks and all kinds of food.

Many soldiers in ink-colored armor stood aside to distribute food, all of them red and beaming with joy.

The pedestrians and caravans entering the city were startled by this atmosphere, and they unconsciously took the food and became happy.

Steward Liu looked around and sighed, "It's really ...... Where can you think of it? ”

Their caravans have been traveling to and from this line for more than ten years, and in the past, when they entered and exited Huaizhi County, they had to pass five passes and kill six generals, which was really not easy.

First of all, the city gate is like a roadblock, and if you don't pay enough money, you don't want to transport the goods to the place safely.

This is still their caravan well-connected, and all kinds of dots are in place, and if they change to other small merchants, it is good if they don't lose their money.

It is really difficult to do business, especially when they go far away, they used to do business, and the goods were damaged in less than half, and they were more satisfied, if they could have seventy or eighty percent of the goods changed hands smoothly, they should definitely go to worship the Buddha and make a vow.

Along the way, evil officials are exploited, bandits are robbed, and there are too many dangers that may be encountered, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will lose all your money.

It wasn't until recently that the Sea King accounted for most of the country, and the life of these merchants gradually improved.

What about paying taxes when doing business?

After paying the tax on the territory of His Royal Highness the Sea King, it is unimpeded all the way, especially by sea, and even escorted by warships, just the silver saved on the road, but I don't know how many times more than that tax.

Steward Liu shipped the goods, happily went to the yamen to pay the taxes, and in a blink of an eye, he saw other merchants from other places rushing to the hypermarket in the east of the city like a swarm, and they also hurried to occupy a place.

There are goods imported from Funnashima in the hypermarket, and they are so in demand that if you don't rush to grab them, you won't be able to grab them.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the hypermarket, Steward Liu's heart was suddenly cold, there were too many people, a sea of people, and it was dense.

"Why are there so many people?"

"You don't know?"

Next to the same queue, a strong man with a big waist and a round waist said with a smile, "The goods in the hypermarket, whether it is refined salt or sugar, or farm tools, kitchen utensils, silk cloth, or exquisite glass utensils, will be sold at a 70% discount for three days from today." ”

Steward Liu was stunned: "Really? Why? ”

In the blink of an eye, a few more people lined up, and one of them smiled and said, "Why do you care?" It doesn't matter if it's the whim of His Royal Highness the Sea King, or what kind of birthday festival, or some other reason, it's only serious that we can get a bargain. ”

The goods from the island are inexpensive, the only drawback is that the output is not large, and the priority is to supply the people on the island of the ship, there are many partners waiting to get the goods, and finally divide a part and send it to the county towns that voted for the sea king, and the part sent to the county seat, more than half of it will be supplied to the people of the county.

The rest, they can only be taken by the merchants who run the merchants in the South China Sea and North these days, in short, there are really few in their hands.

However, although it is small, as long as you can get the goods and ship them out, you will definitely not worry about the market, and you will make a lot of money.

For a while, Steward Liu didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly beckoned the people of the caravan to come over, calculating how much silver he had and how much he could borrow, and allocating as much silver as possible.

It's a rare opportunity, but it's a pity to miss it.

It was not until after noon that they lined up in front, and Steward Liu was happy on his face, and as soon as he stepped forward, he heard a roar not far away, and turned his head to look, only to see the direction of the city gate, and half of the sky was suddenly dyed red.

He was shocked in his heart, and in that red, colorful fireworks exploded, and the whole sky was gilded with wonderful colors.

The gatekeepers who were standing left and right, wearing ink-colored armor, suddenly turned their heads in unison, looked to the south, unsheathed the long knife in their hands, raised it forty-five degrees forward, and shouted in unison: "Long live Your Majesty!" ”

Hey?

Your Majesty?

Steward Liu couldn't get back to his senses for a while, and an old man with gray hair next to him staggered two steps, knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Could it be that His Royal Highness the Sea King has officially called the emperor the founding of the country?" ”

The entire Qi County was drowned out by countless cheers.

Many ordinary people spontaneously knelt on the ground and kowtowed one after another, and the surrounding soldiers were a little overwhelmed when they saw it.

After all, from the very beginning of their training, they themselves were required to kneel to heaven and earth, and to kneel to martyrs, and people cannot kneel.

But shouldn't Your Majesty get on your knees?

Steward Liu was stunned, but he couldn't help but be a little complicated in his heart, he was a Da Zhou person, and when he encountered such a thing, he actually had a little mixed feelings in his heart, but if he really wanted to say that His Royal Highness the Sea King said that the emperor was not good for the founding of the country, he absolutely couldn't say it, and he couldn't help but admit it, in fact, in his selfish heart, he seemed to be looking forward to this day.

There are also some old people who have read the books of sages all their lives, and they are secretly worried and can't see the road ahead, but in general, there are more happy people in the end.

It's a rarity.

The world is complex and changeable, and no matter what you do, it is impossible for everyone to be happy.

Fang Ruohua felt that she founded the country and the new land she obtained, as long as more than one-third of the people supported it, and more than one-third of the people were not very worried, it would be very good.

It's always difficult to do things, it's not difficult to want to, only if you don't do things, Fang Ruohua is actually not sure what she can do this time, and she is even more unsure, she has just made a career, and after she leaves, whether future generations can implement her will.

But it doesn't really matter.

She came here, did what she wanted to do with her own heart, and left her mark on this land, as for after she left, it can only be up to future generations.

February 19, sunny, cloudless.

Fang Ruohua was in the center of Nan'an City, west of the original Nan'an County Wangwang's Mansion, on the high platform in front of the newly built, rather magnificent office building, he stretched out his hand to hold a knife, as well as a huge, gold leaf-inlaid book of the laws of the Chinese Kingdom, held high.

Countless soldiers shouted loudly: "Today, our lord ascends the throne as the emperor and the founding of China, from now on, we will do our best to recover the entire territory of the Central Plains and rescue thousands of Li people." ”

The news of the founding of the country of China spread to all corners of the world for three consecutive days and nights, but everyone in the prefectures and counties under the control of the island was excited, whether it was true or pretended.

Hundreds of people call friends, bring their wives and children, carnival all night, and countless people praise the season...... Of course, there are countless people who are grief-stricken and scolded.

The golden apricot blossom of Luozhou Mansion, as soon as he heard that the sea king had actually ascended the throne and called the emperor, and what Huaxia country had been built, he was so frightened that he trembled, and as soon as he went home, he quickly took out the family wealth that he had saved for most of his life and counted it carefully.

She was illiterate, but when she was a child, her father taught her to count so that she could count money.

It was four taels of silver, and two strings of copper coins.

There are also two silver hairpins and one gold earring.

"Dazhu, Cui'er, you two hurry up, come over to me, hurry up."

"Mother, what are you doing here?"

Dazhu led his daughter-in-law, and he didn't even put on his clothes, so he hurriedly rushed into his mother's door, and at a glance saw his wife turn out the wooden box that even touched him, and he was stunned, so he reached out to touch the old lady's head, which was cold and sweaty, not like she was sick.

"Don't make a fuss, help me pack my things."

Dazhu was confused, so he helped his mother rummage through the cabinets and collect the valuable items at home in one place.

He is the son of Jin Xinghua, tall and big, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, he belongs to that kind of particularly good appearance, but he has a little bit of a tendon, not stupid, but not very smart, and he can't see it much on weekdays, and he can make people say honest.

"You secretly went to Lao Huang, took all the big items of our family, died, and got the money back."

Jin Xinghua pondered for a while, and didn't care whether her son would be deceived, so it was important to change the heavy objects into silver money first.

Moreover, Lao Huang has been a neighbor with their family for seven or eight years, and the pawnshop he runs is not particularly black-hearted, it is very different, and it is a little silver that can be exchanged for some silver.

Jin Dazhu has always had little tendons, and he also listened to his mother's words, and was about to go out when he answered, but Cui'er hurriedly went over to stop someone, and smiled bitterly: "Mother, what are you doing?" If the money at home is not in hand, take the summer clothes to pawn for an emergency, like this big cotton jacket, big quilt, good materials, and new, what do we wear? ”

Looking at it again, even the newly built shelf bed, her mother-in-law had to let her take it out, she was even more anxious, frowning and said, "Is there something wrong at home?" ”

Jin Xinghua sat down on the bed and sighed, "Things? It's a big deal, and it's rumored outside, what pirate leader who occupies our Luozhou Mansion has ascended the throne and become the emperor, do you know it? ”

Speaking of this, Cui'er was also a little apprehensive and nodded lightly.

Ten days ago, Luozhou Mansion was occupied by a group of 'bandits', no, it can't be said to be bandits, they are the Sea Dragon Army under the Sea Throne.

Luozhou Mansion is already close to the capital, not to mention the feet of the Son of Heaven, but it is not far away, before this, they were born and raised in Luozhou, and they really never thought that one day, Luozhou Mansion would be occupied.

They were terrified at first.

However, this gang of bandits is indeed different, they do not kill people or set fires, they occupy the government office, and the first thing they do is to clean up a group of old officials and deal with a few wicked people who are very angry in the city.

The atmosphere on the street was immediately clear, anyway, regardless of what this bandit was thinking, their ordinary people had a much better life.

The second thing was to build a large number of buildings, to strengthen the city walls, to build fortifications, to build barracks, and to build houses.

Cui'er was worried that these people were going to pull Zhuang Ding, so she was so frightened that she detained her husband by her side, hid her at home, and even resigned from making furniture for Master Qin's house.

I didn't expect that people would have any engineers themselves, they worked very neatly, the process was very fast, they didn't disturb the people at all, and they ate well.

As soon as Cui'er spoke, Dazhu grunted and swallowed his saliva, remembering that day when he secretly followed his neighbor's Haizi to help people assemble a catapult, they put the braised pork on the brown rice for him.

He had eaten it once in his life, it was sweet, sweet and fragrant.

After thinking about the old things, Cui'er said: "The gods above are fighting, you don't care who ascends the throne and who is the emperor, what does it have to do with us little people, if you want to talk about war, I will see, you can't fight us, don't worry about it." ”

It's not that Cui'er has a big heart, but they are small people, they don't have a big heart, they don't have a big heart, looking at the posture of those bandits, it is obvious that they want to fight, but what about fighting? Where can they run if they run away?

The family business is in Luozhou Mansion, how can it be easily thrown away?

Besides, there are soldiers outside and there are wars everywhere, and they just escape and get well? Stay at home in a down-to-earth manner, whoever sits in the world, they all kowtow to the emperor, pay taxes and serve, and be obedient to the people, there is not much difference.

Jin Xinghua cried out with a whimper: "It's all to blame on that dead ghost, and if you die, it will also cause trouble to our orphans and widows, woo." ”

"You don't know, Dazhu's father, he is not an ordinary person, he is from the clan, surnamed Zhao."

Cui'er was stunned for a moment.

When her father-in-law was still there, she only felt that her father-in-law was not the same as ordinary people, he had a lot of stinky problems, and it was useless, and a big man depended on his daughter-in-law to do business to support him.

Except for his appearance, the man was simply useless.

Now he is saying that he is still an old man or a clan?

A child of the clan, who went to the small Luozhou Mansion to marry a big character is not one, a woman from the Orion family is his wife, and he is useless by his daughter-in-law all day long, and he still laughs all day long, and he doesn't take it to heart at all.

Cui'er only felt incredible in her heart.

"I don't think that Sea King is ordinary, Mr. Qin is a teacher in the Old Master Qin's mansion, didn't that Sang Xiucai say that everyone has half of the Sea King, and he is the Lord of the Heavens?"

"Your father-in-law's identity is not a secret, the neighbors all know it, your wife and I have a bad temper, few friends, and many enemies, in case people tell them, tell those people, don't our family have to die?"

Cui'er was frightened by this, and she lost her inch, seeing that Dazhu went to exchange all the large items in the house for silver, and the family discussed to escape from the city as soon as possible at night.

As for what will be faced after leaving the city, it will be a matter for the future, and you must save your life first.
