March in Xiangping City is beautiful, with tender branches and green leaves and flowers blooming. Swallows also flew back from the south and returned to their original home in Xiangping City.

Early in the morning in spring, Wangcai's scream came from the inner courtyard of Junhou's mansion. Two eunuchs familiarly held the food and walked towards the "palace" of Wangcai in the courtyard.

As soon as Ji Kang opened the door, he stretched his waist under the eaves outside the door. He saw Wangcai, who was already tall and shining with his hair on his body, ran over and rushed towards Ji Kang's body so skillfully.

Looking at Wangcai lying on her body, Ji Kang touched Wangcai's head as usual and said, "Stop making trouble! Go and have a meal, and I will accompany my mother to the streets later."

Then he took a piece of dog food held by the eunuch next to him and stuffed it into Wangcai's mouth.

Wangcai is now the "husband" of the female dogs in several officials in Xiangping City. According to Shi Gan, he is at least the "father" of more than twenty puppies. After hearing this, Ji Kang scolded Wangcai as a "scared dog" and a "sexy dog". Your owner has not been like this yet! Is it appropriate for you to do this? How can your owner be content with it?

A few years ago, when Ji Kang first came to Xiangping City, he was able to visit Xiangping City with Shi Gan and others, accompanied by everyone. However, after Jun Xiangju Xin and the boss found out about this, his face turned long and Ji Kang was restrained.

Now that I want to go around the city and the market, I have to make preparations in advance. Seeing this, Ji Kang was too lazy to go to the market privately. But today my mother wanted to go to the market, so Ji Kang certainly expressed his support. As for protection, there are people below to arrange it, so Ji Kang didn't ask much about it.

The land prices in Xiangping City are getting higher and higher now. Ji Kang and his mother sat in the car and saw that they rarely saw them in the city again, such as those low thatched huts in the past two years.

The main streets have also been expanded very wide, and the pavement is hardened by cement that the people are now known to be. Each street is built with what people call "public toilets", and under the pavement, it is said that there are drainage ditches made of bricks and cement. This is one of the two cities in the entire Liao area, except for various industrial areas, where the pavement walls are hardened with cement, and are still called "miracles" by the people.

After this year's Spring Festival, the four northeastern counties entered large-scale construction, especially Jilin County and Liaobei County. Junxiangfu ordered that the two county and government cities, Jilin and Shuangliao, should be constructed and renovated by Xiangping and Yangle cities, and other county towns must also be hardened with cement in the city walls and main streets.

The cement used is provided by cement plants built in industrial areas in various places, but transactions and transactions are not allowed. Steel agricultural tools are still strictly controlled, and private transactions are not allowed.

Most of the houses of ordinary residents were bought by gentry, officials and merchants who came to live. Ordinary people who bought their houses at high prices in the city went to villages near Xiangping City to buy cheaper houses, and the housing prices in nearby villages became higher and higher.

The surrounding areas outside the city are also divided into four main trading markets by the government, and within the trading market, different areas are divided according to the types of goods traded.

This time Ji Kang accompanied his mother to the daily life trade trading market in the south of the city. After arriving at the outside trade market, he had just got off the bus, and there was a noise of noise coming. The market was full of bustling crowds and bargaining with merchants in different clothes.

Wangcai, who got off the bus, kept shouting excitedly, so he was "reprimanded" by Ji Kang. After a while, he followed Qingzhu and Qingmei behind his mother, and his hands were filled with various snacks.

In the shops in the entire street where the cloth trading area was a cloth trading area, my mother selected a few pieces of cloth; in the clothing trading area, my mother and Qingzhu and Qingmei chose a few more clothes; in the ceramic trading area, my mother and her mother selected a few sets of white porcelain with patterns...

At noon, I had lunch in a private room in a restaurant in the market. When I opened the window, I saw two lieutenants collecting commercial taxes. I asked the guy who came to serve the food: "Waiter, now the government collects taxes, have you accepted bribes or forced collection?"

Seeing Ji Kang and others dressed and looked at their accent, the waiter thought they had just come to Xiangping from another place. There were quite a lot of rich people from other places who settled in Xiangping City in the past two years.

Then he smiled and said, "Everyone, you are right now. The government in Liao is not as levied and bribed as the officials in other places. As long as you pay your own commercial tax according to regulations, if you find that officials have accepted bribes, as long as you report them, you will be dismissed and sentenced to crimes, which will be worth the loss."

Ji Kang immediately asked: "Does the merchants in Xiangping City feel that the business tax is too heavy?"

The waiter of the shop smiled and said, "About us, in our Liao area, we pay commercial tax based on its turnover. If you earn more, you will definitely pay more. A small business only costs one to two copper coins a day, that's not much! If you earn more, you should naturally pay more. Our little king said, "This is called "taking it from the people and using it for the people."

After hearing this, my mother and everyone laughed.

When Ji Kang and others walked out of the private room and were about to go out, several tables of guards dressed as ordinary people outside the private room in the restaurant got up and followed them.

The purchase in the afternoon continued, which made Ji Kang sigh that at any time, women's desire to buy is the strongest and endless.

Now Xiangping City has become the largest trade and trading market for Yan State and even the surrounding Xiongnu, Donghu, Ji State, Sanhan State and other countries. Except for the strict control of the government, the goods strictly controlled by the government, such as salt, grain, steel, etc., are not allowed to be traded freely, almost all other goods including cloth, porcelain, paper, etc. are in short supply. Every day, caravans travel around the place, and the various official roads coming to Xiangping City are also crowded with people from all over the country.

Back in his own room in the inner courtyard of Junhou Mansion, Ji Kang lay tiredly on the bed and said to Shi Gan: "It is really the most difficult thing in the world to accompany a woman to the street! The problem is that you can't complain, you still have to look happy."

Shi Gan curled his lips and said, "Young Master, you know my pain now! I usually let Qingzhu and Qingmei and others toss it a lot."

After hearing this, Ji Kang laughed and said to Shi Gan: "You are so capable! By the way, Shi Gan, come to Ji Bo's house to get his collected bamboo slips and let's take a look."

Shi Gan was stunned and said to Ji Kang: "Young Master, you asked me to steal the book treasured by the boss. If he knew about it, he would beat me to death."

Ji Kang said lazily: "It's okay if you don't go! Then I'll tell me what you are saying, the thing under the boss is shot through by a bow and arrow. Tell the boss that you will be beaten to death."

Shi Gan jumped up, like Ji Kang, raised his middle finger with his right hand and said to Ji Kang: "You are cruel."

After saying that, he ran out.

At this time, an eunuch came in to report that the boss manager Ji Mao asked for a meeting.

Ji Kang was shocked and quickly got up from the couch and said to Ji Mao who came in: "Brother Ji, this is at his own home. I have told you that you can come in and see me at any time without reporting."

Ji Mao felt warm in his heart, but he still said, "Young Master, the courtesy cannot be abandoned!"

Shaking his head, Ji Kang could only be helpless. He also knew that as he grew up, his prestige became higher and higher. Some things were not something he could hold on to just want to. The current operas, Xin, Zou Yan, and Lu Zhong, are also like this.

After taking the letter handed over by the boss manager Ji Mao, Ji Kang looked carefully and said, "Now Huang Yong has arrived in Qin?"

Ji Mao nodded and said, "This year's plan of the Intelligence Bureau is to further improve it based on the initial establishment of intelligence networks among various countries to monitor the movements of various countries. Huang Yong himself must go to various countries in person to provide deployment and guidance, especially Qin and Zhao."

Ji Kang looked carefully again. Huang Yong sent back the secret letter from Qin and said to Ji Mao: "It seems that while Qin confronted Zhao in Shangdang this year, he continued to strengthen the suppression of South Korea to completely eliminate South Korea's threat to Qin!"

When Ji Mao saw Ji Kang say this, he asked, "Young Master, do we also need to take action?"

Ji Kang shook his head and said, "Bo Ji, my Liao area had just passed a war last year and two counties were built. The internal reforms and changes have not stopped all year round. It is not advisable to move again at this moment, but need to operate slowly."

Then he continued to say to Ji Mao: "The current situation in the world is the most rare development opportunity for our Liao land. We must follow the principle of slowness rather than fierceness, quietness rather than dynamic, to cultivate and thicken the vitality of our Liao land.

The most important thing in our Liao area is to implement the laws stipulated by our Liao area, so that our Liao area officials, especially the people, can truly feel the benefits of doing so. This is our foundation and must not be shaken."

After hearing Ji Kang's words, the boss manager Ji Mao pondered for a moment and was even more impressed.

He slowly said to Ji Kang: "Young Master, I don't know much about the way of governing the country, but I can only be loyal and dedicated to serving the young master. But what the young master said just now should follow the principle of slowness rather than fierceness, quietness rather than moving, and the statement that we cultivate and strengthen the vitality of our Liao land. I still understand it and admire it deeply. With the young master in our Liao land and even in Yan State, it is really a blessing!"

Ji Kang waved his hand and was about to say something when he saw Shi Gan walking into the house with a roll of bamboo slips. Seeing that the boss manager Ji Mao was also there, he was shocked. With a "slam" sound, the bamboo slips in his hand fell to the ground.

When the boss manager Ji Mao saw it, he knew that it was his own collection. He was furious and said to Shi Gan: "Good boy, you go steal my things again. See if I won't beat you to death today."

After saying that, he walked towards Shi Gan.

Shi Gan turned around and ran out, shouting as he ran: "Master, no! You... listen to my explanation!"

Seeing this, Ji Kang spread his hands together.

I didn't expect the boss to come at this time! I didn't expect such a situation!
