Chapter 422 Change 3

Half an hour later, King Jing and Taishi Han came out of the courtyard with satisfaction, holding the information the young man gave him just now.

After getting on the carriage, the coachman drove the carriage toward the city, and King Jing on the carriage browsed the information as soon as possible, and then smiled and said, "This kid has brought all the sets of Shang Ling!"

After saying that, he handed the information to Master Han and said, "Look at it!"

Taishi Han took it and saw that the first part was written in detail about the name, function, person in charge, and detailed address of the government departments in the city. The latter part was written in detail about the detailed addresses and nature of the large places in the city, such as restaurants or inns, etc. The last article even introduced a place called Pinhuafang.

Master Han couldn't help but frowned and said, "This kid writes this fireworks place on it like this?"

King Jing came over and looked at it, and smiled and said, "I guess it is not a fireworks place. You don't know his character. Although you don't oppose the existence of the prostitute village, you will never open a prostitute village. I guess this flower shop is similar to Cuiyunju in Shangling, and they are mainly singing and dancing performances."

King Jing was actually just half of the words. This flower shop is a singing and dancing performance, but the words that would not open a prostitute village were wrong. He didn't know that I was the biggest behind the scenes of those prostitutes in this Zhou Dynasty.

Master Han nodded and said, "You are right. By the way, do you think that boy and the others would expect our arrival?"

King Jing laughed and said, "I guess that kid is absolutely impossible. We are leaving Beijing this time with a very secret! And today is New Year's Eve, and I guess we will scare them once we go!"

King Jing was right, and I was indeed shocked.

Yesterday I received information that King Jing announced his abdication, and the heir to the throne was the eldest prince. But I really didn't expect that King Jing would appear in front of us after the abdication. This was too surprising.

Today is New Year's Eve, and one year has passed, so in the evening I called the Tenth Prince, the Third Old Couple, Bai Huiming, the Third Prince, Feng'er, Yang Kaiwu, Heixiong, the Fourth Old Couple, Jian Rufeng and others, and planned to have a good New Year's Eve dinner at home, and everyone is considered a family. So now my mansion is very lively, and the women are busy making New Year's Eve dinner, while we took advantage of the rare time to rub it twice. Today, the Tenth Prince is not lucky and has won a lot of money.

Just as everyone was in high spirits, a servant ran in panic and said anxiously: "Young Master, a guest is here!"

"Disciple?"

We looked at each other and asked, "Who is here?"

The servant immediately said, "He said he was your father-in-law and teacher!"?

The mahjong in my hand fell on the table, stood up, and asked anxiously again: "You said it was my father-in-law and teacher?"

The servant nodded and said, "Yes!"

Everyone present was stunned. Only Taishi Han could be called my teacher, and who else could be called my father-in-law who could be with him was besides King Jing?

We all threw down the mahjong and ran out the door. At the same time, I shouted loudly: "Myer, Qing'er, come out quickly, father and grandpa are here!"

We ran out of the yard and saw King Jing and Taishi Han standing at the door, with a carriage parked behind them. Now Taishi Han was holding an umbrella in his hand and a booklet in his hand. Seeing me come out, he smiled slightly, raised the booklet in his hand, and said with a smile: "It seems that the things on your booklet are still very useful. I found your door without asking any questions."

"Father!"

"emperor!"

The people present were originally from Dazhou, so when they saw King Jing, they would kneel down together.

King Jing waved his hand and said, "Don't call me the emperor. I'm not an emperor now, but a bad old man!"

Seeing that he didn't want us to kneel down, I was not polite, so I stood up quickly and took the umbrella from Master Han's hand. At the same time, the third prince also took the umbrella brought by the servants, held it on their heads, covered them with snow, and then walked into the house. At the same time, I asked, "Why are you back? Why didn't you notify me in advance? I'll ask someone to pick you up."

King Jing smiled slightly and said, "What are you going to pick up? I feel uncomfortable with you young people by my side. It's better than the two of us old men to enjoy the scenery while walking. You said it well at the beginning. My country of Great Zhou is indeed beautiful. I discussed it with the Grand Master, and I went around while I could still walk."

As soon as he walked into the gate, Feixue and others rushed out. Seeing King Jing and Grandmaster Han, Zhou Ma and Han Qing exclaimed, "Father?" "Grandpa." His face was full of disbelief.

King Jing and Taishi Han looked at the two daughters in surprise now. Today is thirty years old. Most of the local maids and servants in the mansion have allowed them to go back for the New Year, so Feixue and others are responsible for the big party today. Although their identities are either princesses or ladies, their cooking skills are not vague at all. When King Jing came, Zhou Ma was cooking in an apron. When King Jing came, he forgot to put down the spatula when he heard King Jing come, and he still held it in his hand. So King Jing saw his daughter, the dignified princess was cooking now, so why didn’t he be surprised?

After being stunned for a moment, Zhou Hua immediately flew up, hugged King Jing, and started crying.

King Jing patted her back lovingly and said with a smile: "What are you crying during the Chinese New Year?"

After saying that, he gently inserted Zhou Hua's tears with his hand and said, "Stop crying, you won't be beautiful if you cry."

Zhou Mu nodded and said, "Father, the emperor, grandmother and the queen are all fine?"

King Jing smiled and said, "Everything is good, I just hope you go back and see them earlier. But now it seems that you are really good. My grand princess of Dazhou can actually go to the kitchen, which is really good."

After saying that, he looked at me with a smile and said, "The so-called "tofu in brine is used to reduce one thing to another! It's really a truth! Also, don't call me Father, my father, now I would rather call me Father like ordinary people!"

I nodded and said respectfully: "Yes, Father!"

After saying that, he slightly turned sideways and said, "Father, grandpa, you guys are also invited to sit in the house! It's windy and snowy outside!"

King Jing and Taishi Han nodded together and entered the house. Now my city lord's mansion is definitely a modern-style villa. Except for the lack of electrical appliances such as electric lights, the rest of the furniture, such as sofas, etc., are all complete. Take the sofa as an example, no high-tech is required. The leather fabric cannot be processed, and this cloth sofa can still work. Moreover, because I keep warm in winter, I also made a closet. A typical European style.

After entering the room, King Jing and the others were very surprised by the decorations in the room. After carefully examining it, they smiled and said, "Okay, I'll just live in you. Don't be much more comfortable here in my palace!"

After saying that, he turned his head to look at Master Han and said, "What do you think?"

Master Han touched his beard and nodded, "After you said this, I really have this meaning!"

I quickly continued the words and said, "To be honest, when I was building again, I planned to bring you here, so I was corrupted. The yard is very large and there were several buildings built at the back so that you could take you over. This is what Ma and Qing'er meant!"

King Jing and the others were stunned at this time and said together: "Really?"

I smiled slightly and said, "It's true, this house has been repaired!"

After hearing this, King Jing laughed and said, "Okay, okay, your son-in-law is good. I don't regret marrying your daughter to you!" After that, he sat on the sofa and asked, "When will your marriage be done?"

When the rest of the people heard this, they showed a gloating expression on their faces. In fact, they advised me to get married earlier, but because everything in the city was just starting, I was so busy that I could hardly tell the difference between the east, south, west and north, and I had no time to plan my marriage.

After hearing what King Jing asked, I didn’t know how to answer, or the Tenth Prince relieved me of the siege. When he saw that I didn’t know how to answer, he smiled and said, “Don’t brag about this. Now he has little time and is too busy to get married. At the same time, you can’t worry, your son-in-law can’t escape!”

Although King Jing had known the reason in his heart for a long time, he turned his head and looked at me after hearing the tenth prince's words, with a clear intention of inquiring in his eyes.

I sat next to him and said, "There are many things in the city now, and I have to ask about them, so I am really apologizing for my wife and the others, but please believe me. After a while, I will get married!"

King Jing sighed slightly and said, "Marrying you, I really don't know if it's my blessing or something! Alas... Forget it, I won't talk about this anymore. On the way, I saw many people and went into their houses to take a look. It seemed that their lives were pretty good!"

I nodded and said, "The weather this year is good, and the grain harvest is OK. After the land is contracted, the people don't have to pay rent. Naturally, there is some excess grain. After selling the grain, you can buy a few pieces of clothes. You can't talk about wealth and you can barely have enough food."

"What you are talking about is your contract responsibility system?"

King Jing asked, "I heard you didn't collect rent?"

"No!"

I nodded and said, "I have to thank my father and His Majesty Xiao for giving me many preferential policies. We will start collecting taxes in the second half of this year. The tax paid by merchants and shops in the city alone is very considerable and is enough to deal with the expenses in the city. So we waived the rent from those farmers at the beginning."

"You are very bold!"

King Jing sighed: "The fundamental thing of a country is agriculture, and a large part of the tax revenue comes from them! If it were in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it would probably be impossible for the court to maintain it."

I smiled slightly and said, "The situation is different. I only have one acre and three cents of land here. Other taxes in the city can be completely sufficient for expenses. If you can, you can avoid it, but the big Zhou Dynasty is different!"

After hearing this, King Jing suddenly asked quietly: "If you were the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, what would you do?"
