Hearing that he wanted to collect city fees, Li Xiuyuan's face suddenly turned cold, he didn't care about the penny in and out, but what about the people who went in and out of the county on weekdays? For them, a penny was different. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Immediately, he drank coldly: "Ridiculous, that is, according to the rules of the imperial court, only big cities receive city fees, and I have never heard that the county town also collects money." ”

He knew that in ancient times, the city fee was collected, but it was only for some prosperous big cities, such as Guobei City, Jinling City, Luoyang City, etc., and Guobei County was only a county, and there was no entrance fee at all.

"Young master, this county lord was only afraid that he saw that Guobei County was extremely prosperous, so he moved this idea. Iron Mountain said.

"My Li family's business tax is enough to cover the taxes of a city, even if it is half hidden, it is enough to deal with the imperial court, this new county lord is very greedy, so much money can't satisfy his appetite, find a time to visit him." ”

Li Xiuyuan's face sank, and when he drank casually, there was a majestic aura emanating from him, and the guards next to him all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

"Dismount and go home. ”

Without further ado, he turned over and dismounted, and then entered Guobei County.

Everyone in the house knows that Li Xiuyuan has a rule, he will never ride a horse in the county, and he must dismount before entering the city.

When Tie Shan passed by the city gate, he threw eleven cents into the basket, which was regarded as the entrance fee to the city.

"A horse is also a person, and he must also receive a penny. A soldier said.

"Huh?" Li Xiuyuan stopped and looked at him seriously.

A veteran soldier next to him hurriedly kicked him, and said with a smile: "Young Master, this is a newcomer, don't be sensible, don't take it to heart, this is also the rule of the county lord, and we can only do it helplessly, and we don't want to." ”

"Remember your name, old oil, right, since you have collected the entrance fee to the city, it must be no shortage of money, and your monthly income will be halved in the future, when will it be restored after my Li family solves the matter. After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he led the horse and left.

This veteran named Lao Youtou immediately wanted to cry without tears, and he didn't dare to be angry with Li Xiuyuan, so he had to sprinkle his evil anger on the recruit just now.

"You idiot, don't look at who that person is just now, the eldest young master of the Li family is also something you can offend, you don't count yourself as hurting, you also affect me and so on. The old oil head suddenly became big and scolded.

The recruit was still a little backbone, and said angrily: "I'm afraid, we don't eat his Li family's food." ”

"Say you're stupid, you still don't admit it, the court's little money was set hundreds of years ago, who is enough to feed now? It's just that nothing is withheld, and it's not enough for you to eat rice for a month, isn't it for the Li family's monthly reward Lao Tzu has long been not a soldier, you don't want to think about it, do you have our share of the money in this basket, it is all the county lord's, this county lord is very picky, counting on him to live the family, Lao Tzu's family has to starve to death. ”

The old oily man was angry and wanted to beat this fool to death.

In the morning, Guobei County is still very lively, all kinds of breakfast shops are open, shouting and shouting constantly, and the people who have slept enough are all up early in the morning to eat breakfast, and then busy with the day's work.

"I'll go get something to eat, and you can bring the horse back and tell my father that he's safe." Li Xiuyuan saw that all kinds of breakfast snacks were a little hungry, so he spoke.

"Yes, young master. Tie Shan and the others answered and took the Yezhao Jade Lion away and went back to the house first.

Li Xiuyuan came to a shop and just sat down, and Xiao Er greeted him respectfully and warmly.

"Isn't this the eldest young master, why do you have time to come here to eat today?" Xiao Er recognized Li Xiuyuan immediately when he saw him, and hurriedly greeted him.

"I happened to be passing by, and I was a little hungry. Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "What good things do you have to eat today?"

"The eldest young master is polite, there are no good things in the shop, only fresh soy milk, and hot buns that have just come out of the cage. Xiao Er also laughed.

Li Xiuyuan said, "Then make three bowls of soy milk and ten buns first." ”

"Okay, the eldest young master, wait. Xiao Er quickly went to get busy.

"Yo, isn't this the eldest young master? dare to ask if there is a job in the house, take care of the little one." A passing idler said with a grin when he saw Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Do you want to do it? I guarantee that you earn a house in a year and marry a yellow flower girl in two years." ”

The idle man said, "Those who work hard dare to do it, but the small ones can't make money, so the eldest young master doesn't have any other work?"

"There is no other work, and if there is, I will not recruit you as a coward, get out, get out, don't say you know me next time we meet, shame on you. Li Xiuyuan scolded with a smile.

The idler smiled and walked away again.

"Hello young master. A little lady who bought steamed buns passed by and said hello to Li Xiuyuan.

"It's not good these days, my sister just gave me a smile. Li Xiuyuan said

The little lady was not angry when she was teased, and giggled, "Okay, you send my sister a jade lock sister to give you a smile enough, if the jade lock doesn't have it, the golden lock will be successful." ”

"Sister, your hair is coiled up, and you are still thinking about Young Master Ben's jade lock and golden lock? If my sister waits for Young Master Ben for a few more years, maybe Young Master Ben may give you a silver lock." Li Xiuyuan smiled helplessly.

The little lady blushed slightly and said: "I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't marry my sister anymore, the silver lock and gold lock of the eldest young master are still left to other women, and my sister won't worry about it." ”

After saying that, he paid the money, took the bun and left.

Li Xiuyuan said with some emotion: "This time flies so fast, a few girls in the county who pestered me to buy rock sugar gourds in the past are now married and married." ”

"That's the eldest young master doesn't nod, if the eldest young master nods, those girls don't all follow the eldest young master with all their hearts. Xiao Er smiled and sent soy milk and buns, and then said in a suppressed voice: "This bun is beef filling, and it is the shopkeeper's special filial piety to the eldest young master." ”

"Where did you get the beef? Cattle fell to death in a nearby village?" asked Li Xiuyuan.

The rules of the imperial court are not allowed to kill cattle, because cattle have to be cultivated, so to eat beef can only be those cows that fall to death and die of disease, old death, and suicide of cattle is illegal, that is, it is not illegal, eating beef is also a very bad behavior, no family is willing to kill the cow.

Xiao Er said, "I heard that the meat seller said that a calf slipped in the cowshed and was accidentally trampled to death by the cow, and the shopkeeper bought a few catties and made a steamed bun with beef filling, and wanted to try it. ”

"In that case, let's try your beef stuffed buns. Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.

Just as he was about to eat, he heard the sound of begging behind him.

"The store is good, my mother-in-law and children haven't eaten for three days, it's really not good to be hungry, let's enjoy a few buns." ”

A tall, but emaciated man with a black and thin woman stood next to the steamed bun shop, looking at the steaming steamed bun and swallowing saliva, next to the woman was holding a girl with yellow hair and thin yellow muscles, the girl opened a pair of bright big eyes and bit her fingers, and her eyes were greedy.

"Oh, why are you here again, the small shop is a small business, I can't afford to give you away, you can go elsewhere. Xiao Er hurriedly said.

"Excuse me. The emaciated man was a little distraught, and he took the woman and the girl and wanted to leave.

"Wait. At this time, Li Xiuyuan turned around and called, "If you don't mind, come here to eat,"

"Thank you for this son's charity, thank you. The emaciated man said happily.

"You're welcome, just a meal. Li Xiuyuan smiled, then stood up and gave up his place to them.

"Thank you. The woman was also grateful.

The family was indeed hungry, and after thanking them, they immediately devoured them.

Li Xiuyuan said: "You have been hungry for a long time, eat less steamed buns and drink more soy milk, so as not to hurt yourself, Xiao Er, go and make a few more bowls of soy milk and put it on my account." ”

Soon, Xiao Er brought several bowls of soy milk.
