Walking out of the south gate of Chaoge, Boyi and Shuqi were already so tired that they hooked their waists.

Chaoge is very large, and the temporary residence of the two is in the central city, fortunately, it is getting late, there are not many people on the road, and it is noon, and now they can't get out of the city.

"Brother, there's a fruit forest over there. Shu Qi pointed not far away.

"Let's go, hold on a little longer. Boyi walked firmly.

Supported by the firm belief that the DPRK and China would not become extravagant, the two walked step by step into the fruit forest.

I don't want to have a lot of people in the fruit forest.

Shu Qi's pace is getting heavier and heavier, is it possible that the wine pond meat forest is not enough, and the king of Xuan is already so mediocre, greedy for pleasure to scrape the people's fat and ointment, so that the common people have no livelihood and can only go to the wild to pick wild fruits?

The well-known virtuous Jizi is actually deceiving himself and covering up for the king?!

"The King of the Ring.... There is no way......" Seeing the scene of the people actively picking wild fruits, Shu Qi couldn't bear to wipe his eyes.

"What are you talking about?" At this time, an old man stepped forward slowly and squeezed to Shu Qi's side, as if he was angry.

Yes?

Shu Qi was stunned for a moment, he had already heard the king claim that "the sin is in all directions", is it already so harsh?

The people can't talk about it, and if they open their mouths, they will be severely punished?

Shu Qi's heart suddenly became a little heavier.

"Listen to your accent, are you from out of town?" an old woman approached and picked a bunch of fruit.

"My brother and I have come from the Northlands. Shu Qi replied politely.

"You have also heard that Chaoge has a method of making wild fruits? There have been many people to inquire, the old woman told you, mountain grapes are the best, don't look at it sour and throw a few times on the mountain no one wants, but used to make wine, the color of the wine is bright red, the texture is mellow, the taste is very good, but unfortunately it is only ripe in September, the ripe mountain grapes are black and bright, and now they can only pick other wild fruits to make wine. ”

Beyi picked some fruit on one side, and picked up wild herbs on the ground.

When the old woman saw it, she wondered, "This wild vegetable can't be made into wine, what are you doing picking wild vegetables?"

Bo Yi looked up and replied, "Eat it." ”

The old woman's voice changed, and she said happily: "It is also said, although the fruit wine is good, but it can't be hungry, Chaoge's heartless vegetables are also a must, the old body sells heartless vegetables for a living, do you want to buy some? This is a special product of Chaoge, a bundle only costs four yuan." ”

The two people in front of them were dressed simply, not like the rich and noble, not like the nobles in fancy clothes before, who asked the price and didn't buy it, and they were overjoyed.

This....

Bo Yi looked at the old woman's hopeful expression, stood up, took out the usual copper coins that the basket had given them in exchange, took a few cents, and bought the heartless vegetables, which can be regarded as sharing the worries of the people, with this money, the old woman's life should be better, and there is no need to pick fruits and make wine to subsidize the family.

Shu Qi squatted down and picked wild vegetables with his brother.

When the old woman saw them take out the money, she knew that her identity was not ordinary, but she had many doubts in her heart, and couldn't help asking: "The old man sees that you are nobles, why do you want to pick this wild vegetable for food?"

Bo Yi sighed and said: "Our two brothers were originally envoys of the Lonely Bamboo Kingdom, and when they saw that the king of the wine pond was greedy for pleasure and wasted money, they decided not to eat merchant millet, and would rather pick wild vegetables to satisfy their stomachs, but also to advise the king to correct it. ”

The old woman was even more puzzled, and even had an idea of whether these two people had a problem with their brains, but unfortunately there was no royal land in the world at this time, otherwise she would definitely refute it, this wild fruit, isn't it a big business?

The old woman pulled the grass and didn't find a few fruits, so she said: "If it weren't for the king, the earthwork would have beaten down the song of the dynasty, and the tribute was pressed on us, and I don't know how much Tian Fu I have to pay, and this fruit wine, like the old man, used to be at home only to waste, but now I can pick some wild fruits to make wine, and I can sell them in the market to make some money." ”

The old woman pointed to the angry old man just now, but Shu Qi didn't expect that there was such a reason inside.

"Lord Wan sighed many times, the fruit wine is all the credit of the wine pool, I want to come to the meat forest also has a deep meaning, I wait for the common people to do so much, some small favors, it is enough, from time to time you can also go to horse racing and betting, make some small money. ”

Shu Qi was stunned, as if it was not the same as he imagined.

Bo Yi found something in the old woman's words and asked, "What is betting on horses?"

The old woman smiled and replied: "Every seven days there will be a horse race in the racecourse outside the city, we can bet, if you bet on the money and things, my little son likes it, even if he bets on ten or fifty Wen, he can also watch a good time, the king will personally participate every time, we are mainly to see those nobles, see them wave their hands are thousands of Wen, very interesting." ”

Bet on horses....

Bo Yi frowned, and he felt more and more that something was wrong.

Wine pond meat forest, betting on horses, isn't this all fun?

He had long heard Jizi mention the origin of fruit wine, what does it have to do with the wine pool?

Isn't it all painstakingly researched for 10,000 years?!

If there was no fruit wine, the crime of the king would be even worse, it was just an accident.

The people don't know about political affairs, they don't know the harm of the wine forest, and they think that there may be some deep meaning, but as the sons of Guzhujun, they are familiar with political affairs, how can they not know that these things are harmful and not beneficial? !

I am afraid that it is because he was praised by these ignorant and ignorant people, and respected by hundreds of officials in the court, that he has an arrogant heart.

You can't do that!

Bo Yi and Shu Qi both thought of this, and they couldn't help it anymore, they must be advised as soon as possible, set things right, and let the king wake up, and if there is a mistake, he can correct it in time, and he is also a wise man.

Bo Yi asked, "Dare to ask the old woman, when is the next horse race?"

"It's tomorrow, are you going to bet on it?" The old woman opened the conversation: "Today you bought heartless vegetables, and the old body will tell you that this gambling horse is also skillful, you are the envoys of the Lonely Bamboo Country, and you are rich, but you can't be as insatiable as the nobles, and only bet on horses with high odds." ”

"A while ago, there was a rich man, every time he bet on the horse with the highest odds, a bet is ten, never won, but I am happy, but unfortunately I haven't seen him recently, I'm afraid the family has lost a clean, and I don't know if I can't afford to play. ”

"A commoner family like ours has long figured out the way, as long as we bet on some low odds, we will occasionally lose, but in general, we can make a little money and subsidize the family a little, don't look at those nobles who disdain it, but we are the way to make money!"

Bo Yi and Shu Qi were bitter when they heard this, and the people's customs were so corrupt.

These people did not know the consequences of the meat forest, but they were grateful to Dade for the profit of betting on horses.

Once the extravagance prevails, the demand for meat will increase greatly, the price of meat will rise sharply, and the king will not stop enjoying it, but will only oppress the people to collect heavy taxes.

Bo Yi and Shu Qi couldn't bear to imagine that such simple people would still be able to show such a heartfelt smile in the future?

They have already made up their minds to admonish the king tomorrow when he travels, and they must stop the matter before it becomes irreparable, so that they can be worthy of all the people of the world.
