Sun Shan looked up at the Hengzhou Castle in Xiangnan Prefecture, which was close in front of him, and became a little excited.

The city wall is nearly ten meters high, the outer wall is wrapped in blue bricks, the vicissitudes of the years, the wall becomes mottled, at a glance, it is like a swimming dragon, and there is no edge.

Above the two-zhang wide city gate hole, Lishu is carved with three big characters "Yong'an Gate".

At this moment, under the Yong'an Gate, five or six officials dressed a little crookedly and dressed in soap clothes were pointing fingers at the people who were entering the city, collecting the fees for entering the city.

By the way, tease the big girl and little daughter-in-law who went into the city.

Originally, according to the rules of the entire Great Sui Empire, ordinary people who entered the city on foot and empty-handed did not have to pay taxes, and only those merchants who carried goods to do business were levied.

However, as the world deteriorated, or the local officials became corrupt, those who gradually entered the city had to pay a poll tax.

Basically, it is between three or five copper plates, but there are also officials in black-hearted places who collect ten copper coins.

Although, Sun Shan of this world lived in the Zhang family's restaurant for a period of time during the Fucheng exam a month ago.

But Sun Shan, who came from a thousand years later, was still very interested when he saw the scene in front of him, which suddenly became bustling and antique.

I saw that several officials were holding wooden sticks in their hands, pulling at an ox cart full of goods entering the city.

At the same time, there was a crooked-eyed person who also reached out to the man's mother-in-law's big ass.

And the sturdy man who does business, while flattering with his mouth and stuffing copper plates in his hands, secretly pulls his mother-in-law to avoid the harassment of the officials.

looked like he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and he had to swallow his anger.

In fact, this scene is very common at the gates of the walls of the Great Sui Empire.

Even, in order to save a few copper plates, some women automatically let the officials do the tricks.

"Sigh-----"

Zhang Yushan, who was sitting on the front of his carriage, let out a long sigh.

As a businessman, he often goes in and out, so naturally he has to deal with these low-level officials, and he is often deprived by these people.

Especially when he brought his beautiful daughter-in-law, in order not to let her harass him, he spent a lot of copper money each time.

But this time, he had the confidence.

Because, on the two carriages of his house, there are two Xiucai sitting respectively!

Xiucai is the cornerstone of the officialdom of the ruling class of this society, not only has tax-free fields, can be exempted from forced labor, like entering and leaving the city does not need to check and pay taxes.

"It's really hard to describe the way of this world."

Zhang Yushan sighed with emotion, and then turned his head and asked Sun Shan, who was looking at him with a blank face: "Brother Xian, what do you think?" ”

"Hehe----" Sun Shan laughed twice, took his gaze back from the officer's body, and said compassion: "What can I do?" The way of the world is like this, even if I have a heart, I am powerless. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yushan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Sun Shan to have a compassionate heart at a young age.

However, this is also normal, after all, he was born in a poor family and is still young, so it is inevitable that he will be enthusiastic.

Naturally, there is sympathy and empathy for the people at the bottom.

It's just that I don't know if he will still be in such a state of mind if he enters the officialdom in the future, remembering the suffering and sins suffered by the people.

"Brother Xian, you are so kind-hearted, I hope that in the future, you can still remember the sufferings you have suffered, the words you have said and the state of mind you have had." Zhang Yushan stared straight into Sun Shan's eyes and said with some hopeful sincerity.

"Yes, I'll remember."

Sun Shan nodded affirmatively, he came from a society that was relatively fair and just and popularized the law after a thousand years, and naturally he was very disgusted with these bullying of the people.

What's more, he was once a soldier who took honor as guarding and protecting the people.

"My Sun Shan was born in poverty, I was born in the people, grew up in the people, loved the people, I know that it is not easy to understand the people, if he is successful in my Sun Shan, he will not let me rule, such a phenomenon occurs!"

Zhang Yushan stared in surprise, Sun Shan looked cautious and heavy, and was about to say something.

A hearty voice sounded from the side of the car.

"Good! Very good! Young man, you have such a mind, I am very optimistic about you! I hope you don't forget the original intention you once had! ”

"Thank you!"

Sun Shan turned his head to look, and suddenly the man who spoke up said thank you casually.

I saw that this thin and tall middle-aged man, who was dressed very well, was looking at him with a smile on his face, as if he was recalling something and feeling something.

Sun Shan thought to himself, he may feel the youth he once had, and the feelings he once had.

The eyes are the windows of the soul, and the two just glanced at each other, but they didn't know why, as if they had seen through each other's thoughts and emotions at a glance.

"Thank you uncle for your encouragement, I will keep in mind my former self."

Li Ziqiang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that in the moment when he had the rare heart to wait to enter the city, he would meet such a wonderful teenager.

At a young age, he has a compassionate and compassionate heart.

The key is that he seems to understand himself, and in a word, he understands himself.

"Hahahaha-----"

Li Ziqiang laughed heartily twice, smashed the paper fan in his hand and smashed the palm of his hand, and suddenly remembered that Sun Shangang called himself uncle, and couldn't help asking: "Young man, what do you mean by calling me uncle?" Why haven't I ever heard it called? ”

"Hehe, uncle and uncle are almost the same, which means that some uncles and uncles are older, but they look young on the outside."

"That's what it means."

Zhang Ziqiang was slightly stunned for a moment, instantly understood, and then laughed happily, and pointed to his nose rarely: "Haha, young man, do you mean that I look quite young?" ”

"Quite young, uncle, you should be in your early thirties, but judging by your temperament, you shouldn't be an ordinary person."

With Sun Shan's keen observation skills cultivated by special forces after a thousand years, I feel that the middle-aged man in front of him, who is about forty years old, should be a person from officialdom, and his official position should not be low.

People like to listen to good things.

Men like to hear people praise themselves for being young and temperamental, and women like to hear people praise themselves for being young, beautiful and attractive.

This is true in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.

Pleasing others properly is also a way to success, and it is the least expensive way.

It's good for yourself, it's good for others, so why not do it.

"You kid! Born with a clever mouth! ”

Li Ziqiang held back a smile, stretched out his hand and nodded at Sun Shan, looked at Sun Shan's appearance and clothing, and couldn't help asking, "Young man, what is your name?" I see that you are not big enough to be talented, you are quite talented. ”

"Hehe, the kid is not talented, his surname is Sun Mingshan, he is sixteen this year, he is not married, his family is poor, his talent is very good, although he is a talent, he is worried about the world."

"Hahahaha-----"

Li Ziqiang looked at Sun Shan, who did not change his face and praised himself, let out a burst of hearty laughter, pointed at Sun Shan, and for a while, he didn't know what to say about him.

At this time, the window of the luxury carriage behind him opened a big gap, and a shy and smiling girl's face was revealed, looking at Sun Shan as straight as a mountain, with some uninhibited and some self-satisfaction, and with some vicissitudes of life that worried about the world.

"Poof!" I laughed like a flower.

Sun Shan's eyes were so sharp, he had already discovered that in the luxurious carriage behind, there were girls peeking at him through the cracks in the window.

It's just that he didn't expect this girl to be so beautiful.

After a thousand years, he has seen countless beauties of various types on Douyin, which is also quite amazing.

It's a pity that just looking at one face, you can't see her whole appearance.

I don't know if she's tall and has long legs? I don't know if she has a plump and round body?

I don't know, whether it's a marriage match, whether it's a sweetheart?

In an instant, Sun Shan thought a lot.

In an instant, Sun Shan subconsciously blinked his left eye.

At this moment, Li Ziyan, who was originally smiling like a flower, instantly turned red.

She felt that a strong needle-like light stabbed herself from the handsome scholar who was a little bad and blinked his eyes.

I felt my heart twitch, and then, like an electric shock, I felt numb.

Too bad!

Little villain! Big Bad! Badass Scholar!

These are the words that flew through Li Ziyan's mind in an instant.
