Chapter 971: East Market Travel

Chang'an East City is a consumption paradise for the wealthy, while the West Market is a paradise for low-level people to trade with Hu people.

There are all kinds of things here, the prices are cheap, and there are all kinds of strange items brought by the Hu people, perhaps when the war is over, the city gates are opened, and the flow of people is weaving, and the shouts are coming and going, and it is more prosperous than before.

The city supervisor led the general splash to maintain order, and when he saw that anyone got something good, he would take some, and then collect some opening tax, and the stall owner did not dare to say much, and had to laugh a few times.

The city supervisor is a small official, under the management of the county government, similar to the urban management of later generations.

In a lot that specializes in vegetables, Qin Huaidao walked under the embrace of Jinyiwei.

Chang'an has initially decided that the farmers' market related to people's livelihood must be stabilized, the east market has been checked, the problem is not big, and the west market has to be seen, so that these big people like Jinyiwei can't understand anything, so they can only do it themselves.

The city supervisor didn't see Qin Huaidao coming, and came to a guy selling fresh fish surrounded by a group of splashy skins, two large wooden barrels, in which there were more than a dozen live fish, each weighing five or six catties.

When the young man saw the city supervisor, he reluctantly took out two copper plates and handed them over.

The city supervisor took it and put it away, and when he saw the live fish, his eyes lit up, he squatted down and picked up one to see, put it down with satisfaction, got up, his face changed suddenly, and shouted: "What a bold man, he dares to violate the laws of the imperial court, catch the red fish and sell it, come and take all these fish away." ”

The red cataly is the carp, because the carp and Li have the same sound, the court changed the carp to the red carp, but there is no provision that it is not allowed to be caught, eaten and sold, as long as the carp is not said, of course, where do the people understand this.

When the young man heard this, he was anxious, and hurriedly defended: "Lord City Supervisor, can't you sell it in the past?" I haven't heard that it's not allowed, the little ignorant ones, and ask the adults to raise their noble hands, the elders in the small family are seriously ill, and they are still waiting to sell some silver to catch medicine to save people, and beg the adults to spare their lives. ”

"Who said that it was okay in the past, it was because the city supervisor didn't see it, the law is the law, how can you discard it because of you, something like a dog, and don't get out of the way." The city supervisor was furious, flew up and kicked over.

The guy also has some skills, so he quickly dodged away.

"Dare to hide, give Lao Tzu a beating." The city supervisor was furious.

When the splashes saw the city supervisor speak, they immediately roared and rushed up, like a group of wolf dogs.

However, a group of more ferocious tigers and wolves rushed up, punching one and kicking another.

It only took a while, so he fell to the ground and wailed, either breaking his hand, or breaking off his relationship, or breaking a few ribs, and it was Jinyiwei who rushed up, who was used to fighting on the battlefield, and shot every severity.

The city supervisor was also slapped by Luo Wu and fell to the ground, his eyes were full of stars, and he couldn't react for a while.

Qin Huaidao walked up to the city supervisor with a cold face, kicked it, and scolded: "Get up and talk back." ”

The other party couldn't get up for a while, shook his head vigorously, Luo Wu lifted the person up, slapped him a few times, and scolded: "Can you talk well now?" ”

"Yes, yes." The city supervisor was drawn to sober up a little, instinctively responded, suddenly thought of something, was furious, and scolded: "Dare to beat the court officials, you are so daring, you can't rebel." ”

In the past, the city supervisor showed his identity when he encountered hard stubble, and he was invincible.

But this time it was Qin Huaidao who met him, and without waiting for Qin Huaidao to speak, Luo Wu, who was even more angry, slapped him twice and scolded: "It seems that you can't speak well, then let Lao Tzu teach you." ”

The strength of these two slaps increased significantly, and one of the city supervisor's teeth was knocked off, trembling in pain, and he became more and more sober. ”

"You are a small official, you dare to call yourself an official, such a great majesty?" Luo Wu scolded.

The city supervisor's face turned pale and he didn't dare to answer.

Although the city supervisor is employed by the county government, he has no establishment and is regarded as a petty official.

But the little official is the bone scraper, and he doesn't understand how to bully the people, and he is the most bullying.

Qin Huaidao stepped forward, stared at the other party and shouted coldly: "The imperial court did issue an edict strictly prohibiting the hunting and killing of the Red Duck Gong, but that was the will, and it was not written into the Tang Law, not to mention that the Red Duck Gong was flooded later, and Chang'an was even more short of food and less food in the first two years, and some people offered the imperial court to withdraw the will and allow the hunt to be killed to live, and Qinjiazhuang also fed a lot, you abused the Tang Law, disregarded the facts, beat the people, and sought personal gain, what crime should you be?" ”

"I, I ......"

The city supervisor was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, a person who understands Tang Law and the Holy Decree must be an official, and his status will not be low, pinching himself to death is like pinching an ant to death.

Qin Huaidao stared at the other party and continued: "The West City is under the management of Wannian County, who is the county order now?" ”

"The county order Lord Lu has gone to Luoyang with the imperial court, and now there is no county order."

"There is no county order to preside over the work, which means that the county government is empty, who gave you the right to come to the West Market to collect taxes? To whom did the tax received go? ”

The city supervisor's face became more and more ugly, and he explained stubbornly: "Back to the adult, the small one has been serving as the city supervisor for more than a year, and the small one has been collecting taxes and opening the market tax, and the tax and silver naturally have to be handed over, but the county order is not there, and the small one is temporarily sealed at home, and it will be handed over after the new county order comes up." ”

"Where's the splash?"

"They are all small people who ask for help, there are always some people who refuse to pay taxes, and the small ones are also a last resort, so they can only hire some helpers to help."

Qin Huaidao was too lazy to talk nonsense, looked at the fish seller and said, "Your fish looks fresh, how can you sell it?" ”

"Back to the adults, the grass people don't sell it, they all give it to the adults." The guy was scared and overwhelmed.

Qin Huaidao saw that the other party didn't dare to sell it, so he didn't ask again in understanding, and looked at the city supervisor: "What is the price of this kind of fish usually?" ”

"Back to my lord, I want three copper plates and a catty."

Qin Huaidao estimated, all of them had to be fifty or sixty catties, touched his body, there was no broken silver, and looked at Luo Wu.

Luo Wu also touched his body, but did not find any silver, and looked at the other Jinyi guards very embarrassed.

Several clever brocade guards hurriedly took out the copper plate on their bodies, and put them together, there must be more than a hundred, Qin Huaidao took the copper plate, handed it to the guy and said, "These fish are all wanted, do you see enough?" ”

"Multi-...... There are many, but the small ones don't dare. ”

"Take it." Qin Huaidao stuffed it to the other party.

"King Han, are you King Han?" There was an exclamation from the side.

Everyone around was startled when they heard the exclamation, and they all looked at Qin Huaidao, their eyes were full of incredulity, how could the dignified King of Han come to such a smelly place? But deep down I longed for it to be true.

Qin Huaidao looked back and saw a middle-aged man looking at him eagerly, looking familiar, he suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "You are ...... Liu Jiazhuang, Liu Laosan? ”

"It's me, the grass people to meet the King of Han!" The other party was so excited that he wanted to kneel.

Qin Huaidao stepped forward, hugged the other party, and said with a smile: "There is no need for this, you have worked in Qinjiazhuang, you should know that this king doesn't like this, is the family good?" ”

"The small one knows, the small one is happy, everything is fine at home, but it's a pity that the King of Han left the Western Regions, the industrial city was forced to close, the small one couldn't find a job, so he concentrated on growing vegetables at home, barely alive, the return of the King of Han, is it possible to reopen the industrial city?" The other party said excitedly.
