Chapter Sixty-Eight: The County of the Golden City of Dreams

In the snowy mountains, in order to facilitate walking and save trouble, Yuxu opened a shortcut between the courtyard and the silkworm room. In order to facilitate the ox cart to climb the 30 zhang high platform of the silkworm room from the foot of the mountain, a three-zhang wide double flat buffer small slope flat road was built on the south side.

In the evening, when Yuxu put the slope protection with a stone strip, Yuxuan smiled and stepped forward to give Yuxu the wine: Brother, perfect, you can go home for dinner.

Yuxu smiled after hearing this: Hey! Tomorrow's brother is gone, you have to be honest at home, you can't stop reading, you have to study further, you can't learn and waste.

After hearing this, Yu Anthracite smiled and helped Yu Xu: I know, let's go, go back to eat.

The brother and sister talked and laughed and went back to eat, a simple meal, Yuxu and Yuyan are a funny family laughing Rongrong. After the meal, Fen Fen came back after cleaning up, Yu Xuan was still playing chess with Yu Anthracene and making a fuss, waiting for Yuan Cheng to take out his purse from the back room. Smiled and sat down: Yu'er! You are going to travel a long way to Yunan tomorrow, and your father is incompetent and has never been out of Liucheng. This is the only token that your father found when he picked you up, and you can check it if you have time and don't get in the way of official business.

Yu Xuan smiled and took the jade pendant and opened it and looked at it: Okay, father, then I will take the jade pendant with me and look for it to see if there is any way out.

After hearing this, Mica smiled: This family is family after all, but what was the reason in the first place, it must have been helpless to leave you in the mountain. Although grandma doesn't want you to leave, grandma still wants to hold her great-grandson. Look for it, no matter what the result is, it's the past, and no one can go back in the past, oh!

After taking back the jade pendant with a smile: Grandma, how old am I! You have to have a great-grandson every day, so wait for someone to give you a great-grandson!

After hearing this, Mica laughed, and Fen Fen smiled and took out her new clothes: It's tomorrow morning, so let's rest early!

After hearing this, Yuxu stretched his waist: Sleep, and when you come back from errands, you can go to the valley to swim every day.

Yu Anthra smiled and hugged Yu Xu's clothes: I went to sleep at my brother's, and my grandmother rested early.

Yuxu pouted after hearing this: No! I still play chess!

After hearing this, Yu Anthra helped Yu Xu: Let's go.

After the two dolls went to the East Courtyard, Mica looked at Fen Fen with a smile: This is true, for fear that Yu'er will not buy gifts when she comes back.

After hearing this, Fen Fen spun the thread with a smile, and Yuan Cheng smiled and ate tea: Mother, they are all dolls, let them play. It's better than sitting and talking to you and listening to your scalp tingling.

After making a fuss for a long time, Yu Xuan was unable to lie down, and Yu Xuan smiled and summoned the brocade box sent by Hongying: Brother, the little ball has come, and your teacher's meaning will let you use it with a moment of danger. Although the weapon has a blade to kill and protect, although this thing is terrifying, we are not using it to do bad things.

Yuxu sighed after hearing this: But I can't use soul power, otherwise I will be discovered by others.

Yu Anthra smiled after hearing this: The eldest sister has explained, but you don't understand the meaning. If you don't move your soul, no one will know that you are a soul master, and you don't need to use your soul to collect and put items, it is the soul power that exists in the soul and the void.

Yuxu smiled after hearing this: Okay then! Just take it with you!

The next day, before dawn, Yuxu tied his back with washed and prepared clothes, and put the waist card in front of the jade anthracene. Only then did he cover the jade anthracene with cotton wool, and went downstairs to the front hall with a smile. Seeing that Fenfen and Fen hadn't gotten up yet, Yuxu smiled and went to take Yuan Cheng to challenge the fine feeding horses, and whipped and followed the map directions to the south.

In the hall, after Fen Fen lit the oil lamp, the jade anthracene lying on the kang smiled and said: Mother, you don't have to cook my brother's meal.

After hearing this, Fen Fen turned around and saw that it was Yu Anthracene, and at this time Yuan Cheng walked out and was stunned: Hey, you girl, why did you fall asleep if you didn't go back to sleep.

Fen Fen smiled: Let's go cook! There's no need to cook Yu'er.

After hearing this, Yuan Cheng said: It's so early, it's not dawn yet, so I'll leave.

Fen Fen smiled: Go ahead!

Yuan Cheng nodded after hearing this, and after Yuan Cheng left, Fen Fen came to the kang head with a smile and sat down: The woman's family learned from your brother, and you must learn the rules from today onwards. Your brother will be in the time to talk about his wife next year, and you can't be so big or small.

After hearing this, Yu Anthracene pouted aggrievedly: Yes...!

Fen Fencai smiled and scratched the jade anthracene: Obedient, be careful if you are disobedient, be careful that your mother will sell you far.

Yu Anthracene smiled after hearing this: Mother won't sell your little baby, I'm so sleepy, I'm sleeping.

Fen Fen nodded before getting up and going to the backyard to cook,

The so-called thousands of miles of horses travel thousands of miles in a day and eight hundred miles in a night, Yuxu is not staying overnight through several cities, and came to the jurisdiction of the southern county government of Qingling Prefecture. Due to the snow blocking the road, the official road in the dense forest of the mountains has not yet ushered in the busyness of goods, and most of them use the soul skills of running around the country to drive the horses around. Five days after entering Nanjun, because it was night to save money, I didn't live in the post station, and the only one that could shelter from the wind and rain was the most secure.

The fragrant river fish roasted by the dry wood fire can also be roasted dry Yuxu's clothes, and Yuxu took an ice bath to change into his clothes. Xiaoxiao touched the wild horse eating dried sweet potatoes on the side, and Xiaoxiao lay on the cowhide to sleep to relieve fatigue, and continued to rush the next morning.

Three days later, at noon, the super-large and super-prosperous Qingling Zhengnan County Mansion, Jincheng appeared in Yuxu's field of vision. It is twice the size of Qingling City, and the high-rise Liuwa Yaju Building is magnificent. Jincheng, located in the southern district of Qingling Prefecture, is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on one side, and has developed mining and animal husbandry. Its annual tax occupies the position of the former Yao of the eight counties, and its Jincheng has a permanent population of as many as 300,000 people.

As the more and more approached, the flow of people, cars and horses began to increase dramatically, and the courtyards outside the city continued for more than 30 miles, and the left and right along the official road were exquisite and different. After walking through the tall bluestone guiding stone stele, it is the Jincheng three-zhang wide five-gate tower. Seven-storey regular double-tail eaves attic, gold tiles and clean with red windows and blue walls. On the left and right is the spear and arrow tower that the university has seen, with a stone pedestal several zhang high, and the upper room is the fighter tower. The four corners are hung with copper bells, and the wind jingles and dances to convey the beautiful melody, and is erected on the 30 zhang high city wall with a unique scenery.

The spring snow melts, and the huge golden city can be described as a clean and tidy city road, and compared with the white-clothed Wanli outside the city, the city is more like his face. There is no chaos in the regular line, and all kinds of people, cars and horses occupy each main road, and the negotiation is dressed brightly.

As we walked south from the main road to the south gate, the sky was gradually thinning and darkening. It was supposed to usher in darkness, but when I went out of the city, it was a lot more congested. Only two of the five doors were opened, in front of the left door was a long queue of people leading horses and walking, and the right door was a carriage entering and exiting unimpeded.

Yuxu sighed when he saw this, led the horse and followed the team, and finally came to the door after waiting for half an hour. Six soldiers in bright silver armor and waist swords are checking the documents of those who have left the city. On the side is the city gate guards, who are resting and rotating three two-story small buildings, and a man in purple clothes with a fat head and big ears in civilian clothes. His face was thirty miles away, his body was slightly fat, his posture was indecent, and he crossed Erlang's legs, sitting at the desk to collect the gate tax of those who entered and exited.

After seeing it, Yuxu wondered, if you don't accept it when you enter the city, you must collect it when you leave the city, this is the matter of that family. The puzzled Yuxu could only wait in line, and only when it was time for him to take out the document for the soldiers to see.

Due to the disfigurement of Yu Xuan when he was young, this is now the size of an adult strong man, but his face is still half very delicate. When the soldier looked at it, he returned the document to Yuxu: Go and pay the tax!

After hearing this, Yuxu led the horse to the table of the purple-clothed man, and put down a copper coin and left. But before he took a step, the purple-clothed man saw that Yuxu only gave one copper coin, and immediately shouted: Hey, young man, two.

After hearing this, Yuxu wondered and looked back at Dahan: Are you calling me?

After hearing this, Dahan turned his head to look at Yuxu, and said unhappily: Who are you called? Didn't you read the announcement? The four doors in one are two in one.

Yuxu turned around after hearing this: Where is your announcement? I'm just a passer-by, I didn't stay in the city much, and it's not just this kind of weird announcement.

Dahan was displeased when he heard this, so he got up and took a lot of thoughts: It turned out to be a doll, you don't have to blame you if you didn't see the announcement when you passed by, but do you know that the consequences are serious?

Yuxu smiled after hearing this: I remember correctly, the city gate of the city is managed by the city defense division of the military division. So the problem is, it is understandable that the subordinates of the city defense are not enough during the festival, and it is not impossible to go out of the city to collect the four doors in one. But I'm really confused about your four-in-one, and even if I collect it, I can't double it.

The big man laughed after hearing this: Does the little doll still know a lot about the city defense! But you're leading a horse, so it has to be in the cap, right?

Yuxu smiled helplessly after hearing this: Don't tell me that your boss taught you.

Dahan smiled after hearing this: This is a clear provision, and it is also noted in the announcement, and it is clearly written.

After Yuxu listened: Who made the announcement?

Dahan was displeased after hearing this: Nonsense, it must have been sent by the City Defense Department directly under the Military Division, is it possible that you still think it was sent from above? But I can read that you are a doll to take one less, and it is clear that it should be a child of the school. Let's go! Don't bother me next time, I still have to support my family,

After hearing this, Yuxu smiled and pulled the horse back: Wrong is wrong, I'm leaving later, please help me show me how to go to the Bingsi Mansion.

After hearing this, the big man laughed: Little doll, that's not the place you should go, let's go!

Yuxu smiled after hearing this: I'll calculate an account for you, how many people enter and leave in a day? If you do the same, you will receive at least three more gold coins a day. Coupled with the reward of the merchants on the rich side, it will be at least ten gold coins if you give more without looking for it. Ten gold coins may seem like a small amount, but your soldier's palm seal is only twenty silver coins a day, and you can collect an extra three hundred gold in a month. Then the question arises again, the three hundred gold went to the pocket of the city defense division, or was it used for city defense repair? It's simply a blank slate. According to your nonsense, it is 3,000 gold coins a year, and 3,000 gold coins a year is calculated according to grain, but it can feed 30,000 people.

After hearing this, Dahan wondered: How can you question the announcement of the city defense manager of the military division, and the money collected is naturally used for city defense.

Yuxu smiled after hearing this: Don't tease me, Jincheng is so big, the tax department, the toast division, the wood division, and the cloth division, just these four major divisions are enough to feed everyone in Jincheng for one year. I didn't mean to stir up trouble, even if the four doors were integrated to collect the city tax on point, the city defense manager would not have the right to dare to use the rights of the city government department. Am I right?

After listening to the people who came in and out, they all stopped, and at this time, the purple-clothed man at the right door saw that the door was blocked and hurriedly ran over, and his posture was still relatively standard. The face is slightly older for the fat man. After looking at Yuxu, he smiled: Doll, it's not what you think, this is to repair the official road from the south gate to the ferry, and the collected gate customs duties are directly handed over to the tax department.

After hearing this, Yuxu smiled and saluted, and then took out a copper coin and put it on the table: Say it earlier! I said how the city defense manager would make such a vague announcement.

Dahan smiled in return: Thank you for your contribution to Jincheng, please go on the road.

Yuxu led the horse away, and immediately whipped his horse into the deep mountains when he left the city gate.

And the eyes of the big man at the city gate were indeed not right, revealing gloom and calmness.
