The tall walls of the imperial capital are full of the breath of time, symbolizing the long history of this city.

At this time, at the gate of the city, tens of thousands of troops stood in two columns, and behind the army were the people of the imperial capital with no end in sight.

They had all come here to see the excitement, and as early as ten days ago, the messenger who came quickly sent amazing news to the Empire.

There was a great chaos in the border wilderness, the Qiying City located in the border wilderness was slaughtered, and the princess married the army with heavy losses, which is suspected to be the hand of the Southern Barbarian State.

This astonishing news shocked the entire imperial capital, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty played a war one after another, willing to seek justice for the city of Qiying, and willing to go out for the empire.

I heard that His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire was even more furious, and he had an old illness and coughed incessantly for several days.

In the past two days, the news that the princess's team is about to return has spread all over the imperial capital.

Whether it was the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, the Imperial Elite, or the Dawn People, the merchants and warriors, etc., they were all full of interest in what happened this time.

Therefore, early in the morning, countless people came to see the excitement, and even the city guards had no choice but to send tens of thousands of guards to the city gate to line up to greet them.

There is no way, if there is chaos because there are too many people, the responsibility of the city guards is heavy.

And on the empty road between the two rows of guards, there were some magnates in the imperial capital that some city guards could not afford to offend.

Among them, there are the little marquis of the major marquis' mansions, the young masters of the sons and young masters of the families of the six high-ranking officials of the three provinces, as well as the talented and beautiful women in the Imperial Wensheng Academy, and the young talents in the Wusheng Academy.

And most of these people are admirers of the princess.

Princess Qiming has a very bad reputation in the imperial capital, and even makes many people feel heartbroken and angry.

However, even so, it still obsessed most of the young talents in the imperial capital.

Because, Princess Qiming is so beautiful.

The first beauty of the empire!

This sentence is not a talk, but a fact, in the entire Luowu Empire, almost no woman is willing to be friends with Princess Qiming.

No way, self-deforming!

When a woman is too glamorous, any peer will not be able to hold her head up in front of her.

It's about people like Princess Qiming.

At this time, the surrounding people stood behind the guards, and watched with great envy as the young men who were riding white horses and were neat and tidy galloped quickly in front of them.

"See, that's the little Hou Ye of Anle Hou's house, I originally went to Anle Hou Mansion to send firewood, at that time I glanced at the little Hou Ye from a distance, that is majestic tight, there are countless masters in Hou Ye's Mansion, and there are no less than tens of thousands of people who eat with Hou Ye's Mansion, I heard that there is a martial arts training hall in Hou Ye's Mansion, it is said that there are thousands of young masters of all kinds, there are core disciples, ordinary disciples, and several kinds of slave disciples, among which the slave disciples are the children of those stewards and the like in Hou Ye's Mansion, Ordinary disciples are geniuses that Hou Ye absorbs in the outside world, and the core disciples are all people who are related to Hou Ye by blood, just like Hou Ye's own children and some distant relatives of Hou Ye. At that time, when I saw the little marquis, he was leading those thousands of disciples to practice martial arts, and just by looking at it, I was stunned and almost frightened. ”

"Really? An Lehou's power is in the imperial capital, and he can't even rank in the top 30, so the mansion is so majestic? ”

"What is that, after all, our Luowu Empire is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, let me tell you, I have a brother who is a small servant in the Chunfeng Building, according to him, those little marquis, little princes, Gongzi and the like, in the Chunfeng Building, they will spend tens of thousands of taels of silver for one night!"

"My good man, tens of thousands of taels? It's unimaginable, a hundred taels of silver is enough for our family to live comfortably for a lifetime. ”

"Isn't it, the last time the Wensheng Academy held a Spring and Autumn Poetry Meeting, guess how much it spent?"

"How much?"

"Nearly 50,000 taels of silver, the entire imperial capital, the famous Oiran servants have all been invited over."

"Oh my God, the Spring and Autumn Poetry Festival cost 50,000 taels? Then after a while, the full moon poetry party will not cost more than 100,000 taels? ”

"Huh, you people, your horizons are too narrow, what is a hundred thousand taels? Do you know how much money was spent on the last seasonal purchase of the Martial Saint Academy? Including all kinds of ammunition, rare medicinal materials, etc., a total of more than 500,000 taels of silver was spent! ”

"Wow"

The exclamations kept ringing out, not to mention the ordinary people, even the people of the city guards guarding the road couldn't help but be frightened when they heard this.

They usually have some understanding of the lives of the elites, but after talking together, they really realize how big the gap between ordinary people and the elites is.

Among the Seven Kingdoms, silver is extremely precious, second only to gold, and one tael of gold can be exchanged for a hundred taels of silver, and one tael of silver can be exchanged for a hundred copper coins.

And the consistent copper coins are a thousand copper coins.

One copper coin can be exchanged for a large meat bun, and ten copper coins are enough for a family meal.

In other words, thirty dollars a day is more than a dozen dollars a year.

And one or two pieces of silver are enough for a family to live comfortably for several years.

Of course, it's just about food, clothing, and other things.

However, even so, in the case of a family of several people, one or two pieces of silver is enough for a family to live comfortably for a year.

And ten taels of silver is enough to buy a large piece of land outside some small cities!

This is also the reason why Mo Yukeng deceived more than 80 million taels of silver and caused such a big commotion, after all, what does more than 80 million taels of silver represent? It represents enough for two million households, and tens of millions of people can live comfortably for a lifetime without working.

It's just earth-shattering!

If it is used for military spending, the money cheated by Mo Yu is enough to support the military salary of hundreds of millions of troops for several years.

What does this mean? On behalf of Mo Yu, he can completely pull up an army with hundreds of millions of people, and then rebel and fight against the empire!

After all, although the number of people in the Luo Wu Empire is more than one billion, the army on the surface of the Luo Wu Empire is only tens of millions.

Just like on Earth, the gap between rich and poor has been shrinking since ancient times.

In the modern world, it is simply unrealistic to say that anyone who has cash other than real estate can be as rich as the rest of the country.

And in ancient societies, it was entirely possible.

Because, in ancient times, information was not developed, and the money owned by many wealthy merchants was extremely terrifying.

However, no one knew about it.

Especially when they accumulate from generation to generation, it is even more scary.

It is entirely possible that the rich rival the country.

This is also the reason why Princess Qiming said that with more than 80 million taels of silver, she can also ascend to the Nine Heavens.

More than 80 million taels of silver is enough for her to do a lot of things.

Even if she only took out half of it, it would be enough for her to buy off most of the civil and military officials in the empire.

At this time, in the greeting procession, the commander of the city guard army and the great eunuch Liu Gonggong, as well as a few civil officials, were chatting softly.

This time to welcome the princess's return, because His Majesty the Emperor was angry, it was not grand at all.

The rank of the officials who came was not high, only the great eunuch Liu Gonggong was a celebrity around the emperor, and coming here also represented the emperor's concern for his daughter.

The commander of the city guard rode a horse and walked slowly beside Gonggong Liu, and said in a low voice: "Gonggong Liu, it is really an honor for Weichen to welcome the princess back to the dynasty with you." ”

Gonggong Liu glanced at him and said disdainfully: "Where is the king's command, you are the commander of the 300,000 city guards, and our family is just a slave and maid by the emperor's side." ”

Commander Wang was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Where is Gonggong Liu, you are a popular person around the emperor, the No. 1 general of Ouchi, it can be said that you are under one person and above ten thousand people!" ”

Gonggong Liu smiled when he heard this, glanced at Commander Wang appreciatively, and said, "Yes, I have long heard that Commander Wang is a sweet-mouthed person, and this time our family has seen it." ”

Commander Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile: "Gonggong Liu smiled, in fact, I have admired you for a long time, this time, if it weren't for those children of the family who came here to make trouble, I would have had to have a few drinks with you." ”

Hearing this, Gonggong Liu looked at the group of young masters and sons who followed not far behind him, and couldn't help but shake his head, and said: "It's just the children who rely on the remnants of their ancestors, don't bother with them, if they dare to do anything too much, I will help you settle it!" ”
