Chapter 100: Orion enters the city (3)
Nanyang.
Li Tingran, who temporarily took over the position of Nanyang Prefecture as a Dianshi, couldn't help but slapped his thigh hard after seeing the order from Zhu Cijiong!
"Bang!"
His face was blushed, and there was a smile at the corner of his mouth, and he shouted loudly: "Wonderful!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the pain in his legs came to his mind. Before his cracked mouth could be retracted, it turned into a crooked mouth and squinted eyes, and took a cold breath.
"I'm so masturbating..."
Zhang Siyuan just walked in: "Cedar, what are you doing?"
He also had a smile on his face: "You are itchy with your hands?"
Zhang Siyuan teased his brother-in-law.
Li Tingran didn't bother to slap Hong, happily handed the official document in his hand to Zhang Siyuan:
"Brother Zhang, look, this is sent by Your Highness. You said that if we implement Your Highness's method, wouldn't we have no worries about military spending?"
Zhang Siyuan took it and looked it, and his eyes suddenly became brighter. He looked it carefully several times before he put the official document back to its original position:
"It's amazing!"
He slapped and said, "With this Wu Sushi tax, why worry about major issues!"
The two hurriedly lay down on the desk and wrote a notice, asking their subordinates to copy it.
...
Since Nanyang exempted the city gate tax, more hawkers have gone here to do business. Even ordinary people around are willing to go to the city to stroll when they have nothing to do.
There is a hill in the west of Nanyang City, and the place is called Wolonggang.
Since the failure of the battle with Zhu Yuanzhang for the world in the early Ming Dynasty, Zhang Shicheng's two military advisors have been living in the mountains and forests and never served in the office for life.
These two are Shi Nai'an and Luo Guanzhong's master and apprentice.
A simple and easy-to-understand Romance of the Three Kingdoms makes Zhuge Liang's image of being wise and close to demons deeply rooted in people's hearts.
This mountain in the west of Nanyang City is called Wolonggang, and it is even more famous all over the world.
Although Nanyang is a great plain, there are mountains not far from the north of the city.
Therefore, there are more than a dozen hunters living in Wolonggang. Among them, there is a family named Zhou. The daughter named Zhou Qiaomai is very famous.
The surrounding families often say to Zhou Hunter, "You are so excited, you are so happy. You have to have a good family in-laws when you grow up!"
...
Early winter is coming, and it is the time when fur prices rise.
This fur is the highest price only in early winter.
Because it takes at least twenty days from hunting down prey, peeling and drying, tanning leather, to becoming ready-to-wear.
In this way, only the skin in early winter can catch up with the highest price of fur.
Early this morning, Zhou Hunter had breakfast and explained to his mother four times:
"You guys put it at home. I'll take this for Manager Zhang today.
The day before yesterday, he asked someone to explain to me that he would collect his skin and make winter clothes for the prince and the others."
Sixteen-year-old Zhou Qiaomai walked out of the house: "Dad, I want to go too. I have not entered the city yet. Uncle Wang next door said that it is not enough to enter the city now, so you can take me with you!"
The two sons also ran out. They were a few years younger than Zhou Qiaomai. The two of them called Dalai and Suila respectively.
After that, he was only in his teens. When he heard that he was about to enter the city, he immediately hugged Zhou Liehuo's legs and shouted:
"Dad, I want to go too, brother, sister, you can take us into the city to have a look. I heard it's fun!"
Zhou Liehuo smiled bitterly and said to his wife who was washing dishes in the kitchen:
"Damn, the kids are going to go into the city to take a look, you can go with you too...
That is, when you first married me, I took you to the city. In a blink of an eye, it has been more than twenty years!"
When the two got married, the world was still the world of the Ming Dynasty, and the city was still not in chaos. So Zhou Liehuo took his wife into the city.
Later, the world was in chaos, and he never took his women to the city again...
Although Wolonggang is only a few miles west of Nanyang City, the younger generation of the Zhou family has never been there.
There is a city in Nanyang City. All the big men look fierce and evil. They take whatever they see. When they see a beautiful woman, they drag it back to be a concubine. If they go to the government to file a lawsuit, the prefect will not accept it...
Gradually, these girls were all locked up at home.
During the Ming Dynasty, there was no more of the atmosphere where women could go out to the streets at will.
...
"His father, you take them into the city. Is there anything wrong with it? I was still fighting a few days ago!" The hostess He Cuihua was a little worried.
She heard that there was a daughter of a family in Zhaojiagou Village to the west. She was ruined after entering the city, and then she found a brief look...
"What else do women know except long hair?"
Dad Zhou chuckled: "This one who took over our Nanyang City is the prince of the Ming Dynasty!
Those dogs and Tartars will never harm our little people anymore!”
He pointed to the West: "It's still our Ming Dynasty official, it's the blue sky. Those beasts who do evil things have been driven to dig iron ore underground!"
"Then the relationship is good!"
He Cuihua reached out to untie the apron around her waist. She was in her forties, and her eyes were already covered with crow's feet.
Because she is a woman from the Hunter family, she can eat meat, so she doesn't look old and has a good spirit.
There was even a bit of charm on He Cuihua's face.
She wandered around in front of the man: "Master, do you think I want to change my clothes?"
Love beauty is a woman's nature, regardless of age or age.
When He Cuihua heard that the city was not in a mess, she could not stop her restless heart that wanted to go shopping.
"Chengchengcheng! My wife looks good in everything she wears!"
The old hunter praised him, but muttered in his heart: It looks better if you don’t wear it!
"Then let's go and go back early, and we have to cook lunch when we come back!" He Cuihua hurriedly urged him.
Zhou Liehuo smiled: "The prince will not be included in the city tax anymore. Our family has picked up ten big money for free today, which is enough to buy ten meat buns. At noon, our family will eat white flour meat buns!"
"Okay! OK! Dad, I want to eat meat buns, I want to eat two!" The youngest son Zhou Suilai clapped his hands and cheered.
Zhou Qiaomai was also overjoyed.
Although the hunter family is better than ordinary people, they can only eat enough.
I can't eat this white flour steamed bun a few times a year.
Zhou Liehuo carried a bunch of animal skins of various colors, tied up the rest and carried it to his family. The family walked towards the city gate.
When I arrived at the city gate, I found that there were many people surrounded by the place where the notices were posted by the city wall.
Zhou Liehuo hurriedly put down his pick and asked his mother to watch, while he walked towards the crowd.
After rushing into the crowd, I saw a brand new notice on the city wall in front of me.
"What is this written?"
