Chapter 39: I Have a Little Secret for You

"We had a lot of means of transportation back then.

There are cars and trains on the land road, like the train that pulls millions of catties a day and can run to Beiping, and there are large ships with tens of thousands of catties on the sea, one boat is enough for you to transport on the river for a year, even if it is a canal like yours, there are iron boats with millions of catties running. ”

At night, Yang Feng pretended to be in the middle.

"How many people do you have to row?"

Onlookers exclaimed.

Now it can be said that there is a sea of people in front of him, and even the opposite roof is already overcrowded, all looking at this emperor's appointed traverser in amazement.

Iron coupons and holy gates are placed aside.

The endorsement of imperial power is unquestionable, and you have to treat him as a traverser whether you believe it or not.

Although they didn't understand the meaning of the word, it was enough to know that the emperor said that he was an envoy from a Great Xia kingdom six hundred years later, and after confirming this, all the people, whether they were soldiers and civilians, men, women, and children, gathered here to watch him tell those strange but indeed leisurely and fascinating things, and at the same time inadvertently accept his private goods.

Yang Feng picked up the teacup and moistened his throat......

"We don't need people to row, we all use machines, all of which are machines with tens of thousands of horsepower, which is equivalent to tens of thousands of horses pulling together."

"How much fodder do you have to feed you?"

"We don't use forage, we burn oil, we burn oil, oil from the ground."

"Ah, you feed the horses with oil?"

"Huh?"

……

Then the magistrate who was inside for the autopsy came out and interrupted Yang Feng's nonsense.

"Ambassador, the lower officials have checked and understood, it is indeed the salt merchant Wang Yi who watched the ambassador carrying a lot of money outside the city, so he had bad intentions, conspired with Xu Gui, the owner of the shop, and poisoned the wine and food, intending to poison the ambassador to death and then divide the money. It's just that the ambassador is alone, and he carries a lot of money, it is indeed easy to be remembered by the gangsters, and the lower officials discussed with Xie Qianhu and sent troops to escort the ambassador to Xuzhou to wait for Princess Hanshan and his party. ”

He said.

It's not that all the people in the inn were killed by Yang Feng, and there are a few guys who survived, just catch them and ask.

What's more, there are those poisoned wine and food, the county government is not without this, just take the wine and food to check whether it is poisonous, this case is not complicated, and it is not just Yang Feng's business, a pile of bone slag was dug up under the pigsty behind, so Yang Feng is not the first victim, there have been three unlucky eggs who have made bun fillings over the years.

It is said that the meat buns at this inn are still very famous!

Of course, the people of Taoyuan County are emotionally stable, and many people still recall their memories for a long time with emotion.

"No, I just didn't want to be with them, so I slipped away on my own."

"Well, whether the ambassador wants to go with Princess Hanshan or not, there is an escort duty within the county."

"Then you send me to the neighboring county, what county is to the east?"

"Shuyang."

"Then send me to Shuyang."

Ambassador Yang ......

"County master, are you teaching me to do things? Your emperor wants me to bow down, but I don't listen, why do you want me to listen to you? Do you think you have more power than your emperor? ”

"Well, the lower official will arrange it."

"Also, there are a thousand kans here, go and prepare some wine and food, and I will invite them to drink here."

"Ambassador Yang, the curfew is coming."

"It's only seven o'clock, and the nightlife has just begun, what is the curfew, you are the magistrate, it's not you who have the final say, you just say that you are a magistrate, do you have the right to decide whether to curfew!"

"This!"

"Yes or no?"

Yang Feng said again as a consul of the Qing Dynasty.

The magistrate looked at Xie Qianhu next to him, and the latter nodded, this Qianhu is much bigger than the magistrate, but this power is indeed in the magistrate.

"Since Ambassador Yang is here, the county should celebrate, and this curfew will be postponed to the second watch!"

Zhixian said.

Yang Feng nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at the audience in front of him......

"Where did you just go?"

"Burn the oil!"

"Ah, burning oil, yes, it's burning oil, burning oil is very important......"

Then his storytelling continued.

Zhixian and Xie Qianhu also watched curiously, it was obvious that they were also interested in Yang Feng, believe it or not, but what he said was really attractive, in this era, what he said was tantamount to a legendary story with a huge brain. In fact, as a shipping powerhouse, merchants come and go frequently, there is already a legend of Yang Feng here, such as he did not kneel to the emperor in the capital, saved Zhou Dexing, etc., it can be said that he has a certain reputation, and now he is really here, which of course makes the small Taoyuan county empty alley.

Of course, the rice management is even more empty.

A thousand times.

Because it belongs to the place where grain gathers, the purchasing power of banknotes is stronger than that of the capital, so you can buy 700 stone brown rice.

There is enough food for the whole city, and there are only tens of thousands of people in a small county.

In fact, many counties are less than 10,000, and Taoyuan is already a relatively large county.

The people of Taoyuan County held the bowls one by one, happily eating free rice, eating the dishes copied from the inn, watching Yang Feng talk eloquently under the lights, and finally this talk show that should be regarded as Yang Feng's single person lasted until the second watch, that is, it didn't end at half past nine.

This night will be a deep memory for them.

"Old monk, aren't you leaving?"

Yang Feng looked at the last monk left in the mess.

"The poor monk has already paid for the house here, if the yamen has not sealed this place, then naturally he will still have to stay here for one night."

The latter said with a smile.

This old monk is fifty or sixty years old, even if he tries to pretend to be kind and kind, he can't hide the kind and cunning, but he can see that he should have traveled a long way, and Zhu Yuanzhang is still very polite to the monk because of his background. Of course, also because of the problem of origin, he is also very clear about the monks, so the management is also very strict, such as the masters of the Great Song Dynasty Xiangguo Temple opened shopping malls, engaged in finance, and burned good pork, which is impossible for him to appear.

Even the age of a monk is clearly limited.

It is estimated that in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, this age has lost its reproductive value, and it should be used if you love it, but men under 20 can apply, and it is not possible for men to apply if they are over 20.

And just the application.

He was also inspected by the Monk Division of the capital for three years, and determined that he had a good character and was suitable to be a monk.

As for taking a wife and taking a concubine, it is even more difficult.

Well, this rule is really clear in the form of law, in fact, he did it, those dynasties only did not have mandatory rules and precepts, and my monk's wife also married a concubine.

Happy as a fairy!

However, Zhu Yuanzhang made it clear in the form of law that monks cannot marry wives, violators are eighty rods, women are guilty of the same crime, forced divorce, preside over joint sitting, and secretly raise a foreign house to be guilty of adultery, and since then the masters have to bid farewell to the prosperous era of the Great Yuan, and the good days of happiness like gods.

Yang Feng immediately stretched out his hand back, and Ruan Xin, who had become his temporary security guard behind him, hurriedly handed over the store calendar.

This thing is very important at this time, this is issued by the government, similar to invoices, not only people have to register, but also the items they carry must be registered, if a person dies during the stay in the hotel, these will be notified by the government to his family to receive, this system is still very strict, Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose is to ensure the safety of the property of those merchants. It is not that he does not attach importance to business, on the contrary, he is very protective of merchants, but the latter must be legal, and if it is legal, then it is strictly protected, and any official who makes things difficult for merchants is allowed to arrest and complain to him, and local officials who extort money will also be severely punished.

Of course, in this era of business, there are a few who are truly law-abiding!

Yang Feng took the store calendar and opened it......

"Dao Yan, the host of Qingshou Temple in Beiping."

He said with a deep expression.

Then he looked at the famous old thief.

"This is still a high-ranking monk, quickly move a chair for the monk, and I will talk to the monk."

He said.

"I don't dare to call myself a high monk in a small temple."

Yao Guangxiao saluted and said.

However, he still happily sat down on the chair that Ruan Xin had moved.

Yang Feng looked at him with a strange expression, and he also looked at Yang Feng with kind eyes, and the two of them smiled at the same time.

So Zhu Di knows very well what his trip means, and he really can't do without this old guy, but when he entered Beijing together, he was afraid that his father would be unhappy, so he directly killed this old guy, and simply divided the soldiers into two ways, he took the post road into Beijing first, and this old guy took the waterway and went south from this route. In this way, you can avoid Zhu Yuanzhang's sight, and then just find a temple in Nanjing to live temporarily, Zhu Di has something to do, so he will consult him nearby.

As for using his real identity, there is no need to hide this, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't even know about such a trivial matter, and being found out with a fake identity is the real trouble.

That needs to be forged, forged guides, and it is easy to find out.

"I have a little secret to tell you."

Yang Feng said with a serious face.

"What does Ambassador Yang have to teach you?"

Yao Guangxiao smiled like a centipede essence and said.

"This secret is very important, I haven't even told you the emperor, that is, seeing that you are a monk, you can rest assured to tell you, but you must not tell others."

Yang Feng said in a low voice.

Then he looked at Ruan Xin behind him very vigilantly, and Ruan Xin's eyes widened in anticipation.

"The ambassador can rest assured that the poor monk is a monk and does not ask about the world."

Yao Guangxiao smiled more like a centipede.

"Our Great Xia Kingdom, the capital is actually Beiping."

Yang Feng said in a low voice.

Yao Guangxiao's smile instantly froze.

"Isn't this secret important?"

Yang Feng said.

"It does matter."

Yao Guangxiao said meaningfully.

But then, he began to look at Yang Feng with a complicated gaze, and it was obvious that he had understood that Yang Feng was likely to know his identity.
