At the court meeting the next day, Xiao Ju officially announced that the Southern Dynasties would implement five measures from today onwards: land breaking, land rent, industrial and commercial tax, national studies, and official assessment.

This change, which was later known as the Chiayi Five Strategies, officially kicked off vigorously.

Although this move caused common dissatisfaction among the scholars in the north and south, in view of the fact that Xiao Ju had just ascended the throne, everyone felt that Xiao Ju just wanted to establish his prestige through reform. And Xiao Heng had tried the method of soil breaking before, but after all, he couldn't stop the opposition of the southern scholars, so he gave up.

And the law of land judgment as a whole still affects the interests of the southern scholars, the northern scholars are basically located in Yongzhou, South Xuzhou and other places, the number is not huge, and their status as white, enjoy tax exemption privileges, so the northern scholars are not united with the southern scholars in the land judgment.

However, the Southern Qi did usher in a big event, the envoy of the Northern Qin officially entered Jiankang and had already stayed in the post house.

When he heard that the envoy was Chen Yuanyuan, Wei Ran couldn't help but laugh in the court, and then he and Xiao Ju took the initiative to invite Ying to receive the envoy.

Originally, Xiao Ju was very unwilling, but now what kind of identity is Wei Ran, and he personally received the envoy to hurt his dignity, but Wei Ran said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister is in the Northern Qin Dynasty to make the old, so the people are lovesick, and Weichen wants to take advantage of this gathering, and I hope Your Majesty will agree." ”

Xiao Ju knew it in his heart when he heard it, and thought that Wei Ran didn't have any old friends in the Southern Dynasty, so he agreed.

Five years passed in a hurry, and Chen Changyuan, who was cynical in the past, suddenly took on a heavy responsibility and was asked to send an envoy to Southern Qi in a daze.

Chen Changyuan was waiting for Emperor Xiao Ju of Qi to summon him in the post house at the moment, but he was desperate to see Wei Ran, his former best friend. The two grew up playing together in Chang'an City, and now they have achieved nothing, and Wei Ran is already a god in the hearts of the people of Jiankang in Jiankang.

From the beginning of entering the realm of Southern Qi, the most heard were Xiao Ju's Shengming and Wei Ran's Shenwu, which made Chen Changyuan shake his head and said with a smile: "If Wei Ran was in Northern Qin, it would definitely not be like this." ”

Just when Chen Changyuan was pondering, he suddenly felt the sound of a sharp sword breaking through the air in his ears, and Chen Changyuan hurriedly dodged, but the person who came had already blocked Chen Changyuan's way, and a sharp sword was in Chen Changyuan's heart.

The frightened Chen Changyuan slowly opened his eyes at this time, and saw that there was no longer a long sword in front of him, and a person stood in front of him and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, why haven't you made any progress." ”

Looking at Wei Ran with a hippie smile in front of him, Chen Changchang said angrily: "My ideal in this life is the wind and snow, who is in the mood to fix this moth thing." ”

"Didn't you say that since ancient times, Nan women are so slender that they really want to see it?" Wei Ran said with a smile, and then pulled Chen Changyuan and said, "I'll take you for a while today." ”

Chen Yuanyuan squirmed at this time: "I'm afraid it's inconvenient to do this." ”

Just when Wei Ran was puzzled, a woman appeared outside the door, it turned out that she heard the sound of a fight next door, and hurriedly came to check on Xiao Yue.

Wei Ran couldn't help but be dumbfounded, his mouth seemed to be able to put down an egg, and he looked at Chen Yuanyuan with puzzled eyes.

Wei Di smiled, this is clumsy. You've seen it, Du Lianyue, Xiaoyue. Chen Changchang said with a red face.

It turned out that since Wei Zhi's tragic death and Wei Ran's escape. Chen Changchang bought drunk in the drunken fragrance house all day long, and sometimes watched things with Miaoxiang.

Every time I get drunk, I stay in the small moon room, and the days have been long, and there are many discussions in Chang'an City. After Miaoxiang was taken away from Zuixiangju by Zhao Youzhi, Xiaoyue was even more helpless, and Chen Changchang simply ransomed Xiaoyue and brought her back to the house.

Although Chang Lin Bo was very unwilling, Chen Changchang would rather be beaten half to death than expel Xiao Yue from the mansion, which made Mrs. Chang Lin Bo angry half to death. Xiao Yue's endless service in Chang Lin Bo's mansion finally impressed Chang Lin Bo, and Chen Changchang was twenty-five at the time and had not yet married a wife. So he simply asked Chen Changchang to include Xiaoyue in the mansion, which also made Chen Changchang a laughing stock in Chang'an.

When Xiao Yue saw Wei Then, she immediately ran to Wei Ran, crying and said, "Master Wei, have you seen Sister Miaoxiang in Jiankang?" After she was taken away in Chang'an that day, there was no more news. The slave family inquired in every possible way, only to learn that he was sent to Jiankang by a horse to be given to the prime minister of Nanqi. ”

Seeing this, Wei Ran pretended to be sad and said: "This matter is difficult to explain. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that Gongzi Wei is now the Duke of Qin of Southern Qi, he wouldn't be able to look down on my sister? At the beginning, Min Shichuan wanted to spoil his sister, and his sister almost died in the room in order to keep the festival, but I didn't expect Wei Gongzi to be such a kind person. Xiao Yue said dissatisfiedly, and then her close face became indifferent, and she left Wei Ran far away.

"Xiaoyue, don't be rude, this is the Duke of Qin of Southern Qi, not the Duke of Wei of Chang'an." Chen Changchang also said at this time.

Wei Ran didn't know that Miaoxiang had ever had such a thing, and he couldn't help it.

Seeing this, Xiao Yue was even more convinced that Wei Ran definitely did not offend Lu Cao for Miaoxiang, so she said: "Now that Lu Kao is dead, I don't know if Duke Qin can see Miaoxiang, the slave family is willing to bring Sister Miaoxiang back to Chang'an, even if she is going to die alone because of this, I am willing to raise her for a lifetime." ”

Chen Changyuan nodded when he heard this: "That's right." Satsuki's meaning is what I mean. ”

Wei Ran said embarrassedly: "I'm afraid this won't work, although Wanwan is in my mansion, but if she is taken away by you, won't my daughter have no mother." ”

The two of them didn't understand Wei Ran's meaning for a while, and then Xiao Yue said happily: "Sister Miaoxiang is in your house, and she has a daughter with you?" ”

Chen Changyuan said suspiciously: "Isn't your wife the princess of Nanqi?" ”

Wei Ran nodded and said, "Wanwan is now my side concubine." As soon as she entered Jiankang, I took her back to the house, and it has been four years since she got married. ”

Xiao Yue couldn't wait to take her to see Miaoxiang, Wei Ran shook his head and said: "I want to take the long term around, Miss Xiaoyue can stay here for a while, I didn't know that you were also here, I sent someone to the house to summon Wanwan to come, you two sisters can go shopping in Chang'an." ”

"I'm afraid that Wei Gongzi is not going to take a long time to some place of fireworks." Xiao Yue suddenly said vigilantly.

"How is it possible, how can this father be this kind of person, as a concubine of the court, it is disrespectful to visit the Qinglou." Wei Ran is colorful.

Xiao Yue didn't suspect him when she heard it, and Wei Ran ordered Wei Wu to go to the mansion to pick up the third lady.

Wei Ran was dressed in civilian clothes at this time, holding the Taiping Sword, and Chen Yuanyuan rode in Jiankang City, as if they were walking in Chang'an together, Wei Ran only brought a few attendants, and they all followed from afar.

Then the two went out of Xuanyang Gate and went all the way to the Qinhuai River. After the end of the war, there were more flower boats doing business along the Qinhuai River.

Chen Changyuan was also stunned at this time, and said: "There are many people in Jiangnan, I can see it now, this scene is much more shocking than Drunken Xiangju." ”

Flower boats block the river, and there is a lot of difficulty between the north and the south, Wei Ran said: "I also heard that this place is very prosperous, and Hengxuan asked me before, but I never agreed." I wanted to take you shopping today, but you brought your wife, let's go back from afar, you didn't come in vain. ”

"No, if it comes, it will be safe." Chen Changchang hurriedly said.

Wei Ran laughed when he heard it. Then Wei Ran grabbed a person and asked, "There are a lot of flower boats here, where are the flower boats?" ”

The man said: "The son has good taste, the top ten famous prostitutes in the Qinhuai River, the most famous boat is naturally Hua Piaofang, Hua Lian, Ye Yin, Qiao Yue, the top three women are all in this boat." The rest are still Qingyue Boat and so on. ”

Seeing that the person could understand it clearly, Wei Ran couldn't help but smile and said, "This brother Tai knows a lot." ”

The man smiled embarrassedly and said, "There is nothing else to ask for in this life, this is really a place of leisure and happiness." Although Qin Huai's ten beauties do not sell their bodies, it is rare to get close, but the rest of the women are also pretty women, and they are romantic overnight, and their lives are not in vain. ”

Chen Changchang was already eager to try it when he heard this, and when Wei Ran saw this, he walked towards Hua Piaofang.

At this time, the side of the flower float was overcrowded, Wei Ran pushed aside the crowd, and then said, "Please call Mommy to come." ”

The guards of Hua Piaofang naturally refused: "Who are you, how can our shopkeeper see you when you see it?" To get on board, you have to bid like the rest of the people, and after half an hour, the highest bidder can choose which girl to drink with. ”

When Chen Changyuan heard this, he said to Wei Ran: "What a big faction." ”

Today's Wei Ran is no longer the original Wei Ran, but he said lightly: "I am a close friend of Prince Hengxuan, and I also trouble to call Mommy to see him." ”

As soon as they heard Heng Xuan's name, the guards all hesitated, and when they saw that Wei Ran was extraordinary, they then said, "Childe, please wait a while." ”

"In the past, Hengzhi was in charge of the Imperial Forest Army and Jiankang Defense, and the Heng family, the flower boat of the Qinhuai River, basically had dark stocks." Wei Ran and Chen Changchang explained.

After a while, a woman came out of the flower boat, and it was obvious that she must have been a great beauty when she was young. I saw Mommy say, "I wonder what is the matter with my son?" ”

Wei Ran stepped forward and said, "I'm going to entertain the distinguished guests and let everyone disperse." The three girls of Hua Lian, Ye Yin, and Qiao Yue are feasting with us today. ”

Mommy smiled and said: "This is the three top brands of our store, they are the best friends of Heng Gongzi, the slave family can be the master, five hundred taels, and the three girls can accompany the son to feast and drink." ”

"Thank you Mommy for your love, if usually, how many silver taels do the three girls need to feast at the same time?" Wei Ran asked rhetorically.

When Mommy heard this, she was immediately displeased: "At least a thousand taels, I have already given many preferential treatments for the sake of Heng Gongzi's face." If Childe can't afford the money, please go back. ”

When Wei Ran heard this, he had a plan in his heart, and then said: "I'll pay a thousand taels, and no miscellaneous people are allowed in the flower float tonight." ”

Hearing this, Mommy felt embarrassed and was about to excuse herself, when Wei Ran took out a token from her waist, and then threw it out: "Mommy is well-informed, and I give a thousand taels is already a big face." If Heng Xuan is here, I'm afraid Mommy won't be able to earn a penny. ”

Mommy took Wei Ran's token, and there were two words written on the token, "Tianxiong", and then said in a panic: "The people have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, the two guest officers please come in." ”

Then Mommy said: "Let's disperse, this boy has chartered the venue tonight, please come back tomorrow." ”

After speaking, he ignored the dissatisfaction of everyone, and took Wei Ran and Chen Changchang directly to the Accord.

Chen Changyuan saw that this Accord was quite elegant, and there were a few paintings hanging on the wall, Chen Changyuan sighed after looking at it carefully: "It's all Mr. Matsuyama's authentic works, and the boss of this boat is not shallow." ”

After Wei Ran heard this, he sneered in his heart, behind all the flower boats basically has the shadow of the family, so profitable, but the tax is so small.

Wei Ran asked Chen Changchang to come here for recreation today, firstly, to wash the dust for Chen Changchang, and secondly, to find out how much the flower boats on the Qinhuai River can make a day from these people.

At this time, in a private room in the flower boat, Mommy was talking to an old man: "There is a guest, a thousand taels will be chartered and the whole ship is not allowed to pick up guests, I didn't want to, but the person who came took out the token of the Tianxiong Army, I didn't dare to stop it, and troubled the old gentleman to go to Hengfu to inform him." The visitor was about 20 years old, and said that he was receiving distinguished guests. The appearance is handsome, dressed in brocade clothes, belt and sword, and it is quite extraordinary at first glance. said that he was a close friend of the son. ”
