Chapter 92: Zheng Luo
But said that Chu Shou was on his side, he came to this place, he was unfamiliar with the place, although he could feel that Jacqueline was obviously near him, but he couldn't find it for a while, after all, he was suddenly pulled to this place where dogs don't lay eggs and birds don't, which completely disrupted Chu Shou's previous plan.
"That damn rope spirit, if I find it, I'll have to cut it into pieces!" Thinking of this, Chu Shou couldn't help but curse Lin Yan viciously in his heart.
In order to understand the environment he was in now, Chu Shou had to decide to cooperate with the Bei Ye in front of him.
At this time, Chu Shouzheng was lying on Bei Hongqi's head, preparing to enter the city with him.
At first, when Bei Hongqi put it on his unkempt hair like a chicken nest without Chu Shou's consent, Chu Shou refused.
I don't know how many years I haven't washed that clump of hair, it looks disgusting to death, and I don't know if there will be some disgusting and horrible creatures parasitized on it.
But Chu Shou's current communication with Bei Hongqi is only input, not output, and he came to protest in a hurry, so he was directly put in the place that made him creepy.
However, to Chu Shou's surprise, Bei Hongqi's hair was not as dirty as it seemed, but it was very clean, and even dandruff could not be found, without a trace of stink. Chu Shou carefully examined Bei Hongqi's hair in surprise, only to find that these hairs only looked dirty and messy on the surface, but in fact the bottom was very clean and soft, and Chu Shou even suspected that Bei Hongqi had washed it with Haifei silk.
It turned out that although Bei Hongqi was begging in Zhengluo these days, he was just returning to his old business, he was familiar with driving a car, and he was at ease, and it didn't take long for him to not only earn back the year's entanglement, but even a big surplus.
In the case of sufficient financial resources, Bei Hongqi will not be stupid and abuse himself. I am very good at enjoying myself after work, and I naturally take care of myself cleanly, beautifully, and comfortably.
When it was time to work, Bei Hongqi would use special dyes to make his hair and body look dirty, and then use his qi to retract the muscles of his body, making his body look skinny and pitiful.
Of course, Chu Shou didn't know this.
The soldiers at the city gate let Bei Hongqi enter the city very lightly, after all, the world was decided. Although Zhengluo is the capital, it is also the best place after all, so not a single beggar can not enter, right?
After entering the city, Chu Shou was taken aback, because this capital city was very different from Chu Shou's imagination.
In Chu Shou's imagination, no matter how Zheng Luo said it, it was the capital of a big country, even if it was not the appearance of the Qingming Shanghe map that Chu Shou had seen before. At least it's not far off, isn't it?, however, the reality disappointed Chu Shou.
As soon as I entered the city, a wave of poverty rushed over my face. Except for the buildings of the royal family, there are no more than thirty decent buildings in the city, and most of the other houses are made of mud and wood. It's really comparable to the orc tribe.
Chu Shou remembered that in the travelogue book of Nazat Academy, Zheng Luo was the capital of a country, and the words mentioned in the book were full of gorgeous praise, although Chu Shou also knew that the Great Zhou Kingdom was not very prosperous during this period. But it won't end up like this, will it?
Chu Shou didn't know that Zheng Luo, as a central city, was in the Great Zhou Kingdom, which had experienced nearly a century of war. After several changes of ownership, it was devastated, and even experienced two monstrous fires (both of which were deliberately done by the warlord when he fled), it is already good to have this prosperity, if it weren't for the Tang family operating here for decades, I'm afraid Chu Shou wouldn't even be able to see a better house.
The capital of a country is still like this, and the tragic situation in other parts of the Great Zhou Kingdom can also be imagined, so to speak, the civilization of the Great Zhou was destroyed several times in this war.
Today is better, because the imperial examination has fallen, many students and martial artists have come from afar, and merchants have also sought the opportunity to come, bringing a lot of popularity to this ancient and weathered city.
Chu Shou followed Bei Hongqi to visit Zheng Luo, and found that the city's commerce seemed to be quite prosperous, although the things sold were only very rudimentary products, but there was an endless stream of vendors, quite a bit of the atmosphere of the Lion Continent.
This is actually thanks to Lin Yan, who studied in the Lion Continent, and there are many mercantile countries in the Lion Continent, which inspired her to slowly change from the previous heavy agricultural thinking.
Lin Yan later concluded that agriculture belongs to the spleen, while Shang belongs to blood, and people with a strong spleen should have strong blood and qi, otherwise they will accumulate in the abdomen and become fat, and people with strong blood and qi must also have a healthy spleen, otherwise they will not be able to provide sufficient grain essence for the operation of blood and qi. When the two are in harmony, the whole human body will be balanced and healthy - and the same should be true of the country, so the country should be governed by equal emphasis on business and agriculture, not neglect.
Lin Yan's idea was approved by Tang Jie, and after some trial attempts, although there were still many problems that needed to be reformed, the managers found that this approach was obviously much healthier than the previous policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, and all parties and groups had different profits, so the implementation was quite smooth.
And Bei Hongqi's money was mainly obtained from these merchants.
Chu Shou had to admit that Bei Hongqi was a genius among beggars, not to mention that he could use his qi to change his body shape in a pioneering way, so that he could change from a muscular man to a skinny and poor worm, and his psychological observation of people was also very accurate. In short, he was always able to coax the giver to pay willingly.
In less than half a day's effort, the money bag hidden in Bei Hongqi's chest was full, and as for the food and food he begged for, he gave it to other beggars who really needed it.
Then Behon made a sneaky trip to a secluded hut, quickly changed into his suit, and in a short time a poor beggar became a mighty and generous man. Chu Shou couldn't stay at Bei Hongqi's soft hair at this time, he was put on his right shoulder by Bei Hongqi.
When Bei Hongqi came out of the house, no one could have imagined that this well-dressed hero was actually the weak beggar from before.
In fact, Bei Hongqi has gained less, after all, he has not stayed in Zhengluo for long, and the other beggars have already drawn their respective spheres of influence before, and the places where he can beg are pitiful, otherwise with Bei Hongqi's means, it will definitely be a daily income.
...... Maybe everyone understands the reason why Bei Hongqi's beggar gang was seized by the Yamen.
At that time, Bei Hongqi had already registered at the Imperial Examination Bureau, and was waiting for tomorrow's competition.
Martial arts is more special, to select the top 30 from more than 1,000 martial artists in three days by means of elimination, almost one person will compete with nearly 100 people a day, that is an endurance work. For this reason, a shrewd warrior will choose a good place the day before the martial arts, eat and drink enough, and nourish enough strength.
Bei Hongqi has already chosen a good restaurant, where he and Chu Shou will eat and drink well, and then have a good rest to prepare for tomorrow's martial arts.
Now it is during the imperial examination, and the restaurants and inns are overcrowded, but fortunately, Bei Hongqi has been in Zhengluo before, and he has already booked a qiē - last year, Bei Hongqi was unexpected, he could only dry food with cold water, and he also slept on the street for a night, which made him angry, thinking that this was also one of the reasons for losing to Ouyang Feifei.
In the restaurant, Chu Shou finally saw the kind of place where rumors were flying all over the TV.
Because the world was initially decided, the country was still simple, so there was no private room, everyone could only eat around a table, and after the wine and food were full, they began to talk loudly, showing that they were well-informed and extraordinary:
"Imperial Physician Wang found a flying immortal outside the sky, and I heard that he was calling on famous doctors from all walks of life to participate in the research together. ”
"Now the children of rich families are popular in a game of losing time by fishing boats, and they are also known as 'ladies ship'. ”
"The female driver was beaten up for grabbing the road, claiming to be ......"
In short, these conversations are strange, true and false, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. However, one thing can be clearly felt from it, that is, most of these rumors are inconsequential miscellaneous matters, and there is little mention of political affairs or the emperor's affairs, after all, this is at the feet of Zheng Luo, the Son of Heaven, and if you are not careful, it will be miserable.
