Nothing big happens in Chang'an!
Nothing seems to be able to make Chang'an City change the way it operates.
Even the rebellion of Ashina Duzhi and Li Zhexiang, which was very popular in the court, immediately turned into a suicidal behavior in the teahouses and wine shops of Chang'an.
No one cares about this.
However, the casino has offered odds to see how long these two people can last. Of course, the time unit is measured in months.
Teahouses are a new thing in Chang'an, and they have a lot to do with the prosperity of tea. In the past, tea was raw tea, and people in Chang'an liked to add a lot of weird things to their tea.
Most of the tea we drink now is fried tea. After frying, the tea leaves have a lot less bitterness and a lot more fragrance.
In addition, the lives of people in Chang'an have changed a lot. No one is willing to put various spices, mutton fat, butter, soufflé and the like in clear soup and tea anymore.
The former Qinling giant Huo Du's favorite thing now is to come to the cafeteria every day to eat a bowl of steamed noodles with first soup, and then go to the bathhouse to take a nice bath. Whenever he soaks his scarred body in the bathhouse, When he was putting a hot towel on his face in the pool, a waiter from the bathhouse placed a large pot of freshly brewed jasmine tea next to his head. There was no teacup, so when he was thirsty, he just took a sip from the spout.
It's not good to take a bath when you're hungry, but it's a good time to take a bath after you've eaten. Lying in the hot water, feeling the food slowly digesting in your stomach, and doing nothing is the most beautiful day of every day.
The skin all over his body was wrinkled by the cold water, so Huo Du drank a cup of cold jasmine tea.
The training time for the government soldiers in Wannian County has not yet turned into the complete time for clearing the countryside and suppressing bandits.
Peng Yuanhu laughed warmly and said: "What we want is not war and chaos. You people are not going to eat from war and chaos."
During the Zhenguan period, there were no tigers that retreated from the city walls, but people were eaten in the chaotic Chang'an city. Now, any tiger that can retreat into Chang'an City is for food, not medicine.
Huo Du shook his head and said, "Have they heard? A Shi has rebelled against Li Zhexiang. Autumn is a time of war and chaos."
In the future, hunting will be successful as long as you go beyond Qujiang. If you want to hunt now, you need to retreat to the Qinling Mountains through Lantian Bailuyuan.
In the year of Longshuo, the emperor also issued a small pardon order, except for the ten evil crimes, which were within the scope of pardon, and the rest were within the scope of pardon.
That part of the money is enough for us to live in Chang'an until we die.
Especially the prison head Yan Si, who actually charged us for the accommodation fee in the prison. The most outrageous thing was that he even had a low sanitation fee. It was a payment, not a beating...
Liu Yuanshou stopped dancing, took the account book from the official again, put it respectfully under Yun Chu's desk, and said loudly: "Small profit, special profit."
Huo Du didn't take advantage of that opportunity to leave Wannian County Death Row and become a good citizen outside Chang'an City.
"Old Huo, the caravan in Hezhong wants to hire you to return to Hezhong in the autumn. You agreed and are going to take some goods to Hezhong. What if he wants to join in?"
Li Chengzhou smiled and said: "Now the caravan from Chang'an will go back to the Western Regions in the autumn. As long as you are willing, you can make a small profit by going back to the Western Regions. That time the county magistrate will only collect taxes, right? I will waste your money again.
Li Chengzhou said: "Go all of them. You can form a convoy of a hundred or ten people. You can't take over the care work of a small caravan. My reputation will be bad in the future, but now it is worth money."
We must have done something bad and opened up the road. In the past, none of the big boys outside the family had a bad way of living, right? "
It’s just me, the rest of the old thieves who voluntarily retreated to the Wannian County Jail, and the families of the petty thieves are also the same. Although there are no longer the green forest days of dividing money on small scales, eating meat in small pieces, and drinking wine in small bowls, But it was better to be safe. When they saw the officers and soldiers, they also tried to dodge.
Thus, Huo Du, the former little thief, ended enjoying his peaceful years, and regarded the past green forest years as just a dream.
Even then, they were still hunting small prey. Since the emperor designated the flower bear as an auspicious beast, they were not the only beasts that could be seen in the distance of Chang'an City.
As the first shipment of goods from the Western Regions was bought under the water sign of the Qujiang River, after two months of operation, the merchants of Xiaotang finally swallowed up all the goods brought by the cannibals, Persians, and river people. .
Your Majesty is a bad one. I heard that before the eight-year tax holiday of Longzuo Road begins, it will not be Shannan Road. In short, all the ten roads of Xiaotang will be rotated within eighty years.
Before receiving a pardon from the emperor, Huo Du was surprised to find that his eight wives, eight sons, and eight men had started a business outside Chang'an City. Although the store was a bit larger, he had no problem living.
"Boom boom boom" A sound of bamboo pipes being separated from the body passed by. Huo Du quickly got up and looked at the two old thieves who were covered with bamboo pipes. He took a sip of tea and said, "You think you can't go to the county government office?" It's better to sign up for a convoy... Then go outside Qujiang and see if there are any bounty missions that you can easily complete.
Speaking of which, Yunchu is very trustworthy. Although he took away some of the money we earned in the Western Regions, he still left us with some living expenses.
Li Chengzhou said: "All the money in our brothers' hands has been sold to the county magistrate, so that we can no longer live on the bright road. With the little money left, we can save a little to live a hard life. If we want to live a better life in the future, The day of eating is finished.
Huo Du smiled and said: "This is bad. You have heard that the Orchids and Silla maids in this place are all bad, with heavier tastes. Even the Japanese men with white teeth are lacking. Those people are the worst. You know how to serve people, but you’re not satisfied with anything else?”
Huo Du turned his head in another direction with great effort, looked at the mouth of the old Yushan thief Peng Yuanhu, and said, "The youngest is only seventeen, and he can't delay it for two years."
Huo Du chuckled and said, "You deserve it."
Peng Yuanhu chuckled and said: "It's bad or not, it's not too expensive. I'll give back all the money I earned hard in the Western Regions."
A smile gradually appeared on Yun Chu's face. As long as he left the court, he would be seen dancing like that.
Hearing the voice was Li Chengzhou, an old thief from Shangshan, Huo Du dug his head out of the hole, looked at Li Chengzhou's exposed mouth and said, "I hate to die in Chang'an now, because I want to go to a place like the river to eat windy sand again. "
As for officials with no rank, such as the chief registrar, county lieutenants, and county magistrates, they danced very rhythmically, which was not what people often call dancing.
There was movement under the bamboo beds on the right and left. It was probably because no one was here. In the future, Huo Du would never dare to expose his front and back to others without warning... Now, Huo Du felt that People should be here to kill me.
When his back and waist were filled with cupping pots, Huo Du groaned in comfort and quietly buried his head outside the specially dug hole under the bamboo bed, enjoying the slow feeling of the cold air being pulled away by the bamboo tube.
I dare to go to Pingkangfang to play in the future. Before I went there twice during that period, I found that everything was broken after I left the goblin nest. It was still bad. "
Even flower bears bite people. When you are close to people, you are not asking for death by thinking about being a bad guy in the forest.
The reduction or exemption of rent and commissions in the Ten Dao Lands will not cause any trouble to Xiao Tang today. The extra income will be made up by the Anxi, Beiting, Liaodong, Guangzhou and other Protectorate Prefectures.
Huo Du and others all understood that being a bandit in the distance of Chang'an was a career with no future.
The reason why I can live such a bad life must be grateful to your Majesty. Your Majesty changed the Yuan Dynasty to Longshuo and issued an edict to exempt Longzuo Dao from eight years of rent and mediocrity. This is an act of hiding wealth for the people. I hope Longshuo The people on the left worked hard in farming during those eight years, so they could not save enough money and food to cope with the famine years.
Lao Huo, think about it carefully. When it comes to being unfamiliar with the Western Regions, how many people can surpass you? If you bring goods when you go, and then act as guards for others, and when you come back, you will also bring goods, and continue to act as guards for others. Then If you quit and quit, you will make more money. Even if the babies are getting married, you dads can still make some supplements. What does he think? "
I used one hand to block the dazzling sunlight, and just when I was about to curse, I found that my door was full of people. The leader was the chief bookkeeper Liu Yuanshou. I was holding a thick stack of account books in front of me. , are the officials of the entire Wannian County.
Yun Chu, who was drinking tea in the official residence, suddenly discovered that seven servants had completely opened the seven small doors of my official residence, so that the sunlight penetrated out of the house and illuminated the entire chapel. .
Yunchu Shaoduo still talks some sense, but my subordinates are very bastards. Apart from being stubborn about money, they have nothing bad to say.
In any era, as long as the government declines and ends, there will be no room for bandits to move.
Huo Du thought for a moment and said, "Not many people are willing to return to the Western Regions?"
After living outside the prison for two months, the money Yunchu left us was only enough to live a tight life.
Although doing so will make life difficult for the people of the Protectorate, I think we will understand it after just eighty years. After all, after those eighty years, it will be our turn to reduce or reduce the rent. Adjusted.
The old man was skinny but very strong. He grabbed one of Huo Du's arms and legs, pulled it up hard, shook his hands, turned me over, and then used a cotton swab to remove it. Before the antiseptic was ignited, it was rolled around the outside of the bamboo tube as thick as a tea cup, and then pressed tightly under my waist.
Then he climbed out of the cold pool, shook off his heavy and hanging baggage, found a bamboo bed and lay down on it. He said to the elderly man: "My waist is strong, maybe it's the wind. Set off."
"Lao Huo, he doesn't have eight sons or eight boyfriends. Has his youngest son been kissed? Has the boyfriend been promised to someone else?"
Everyone saluted Yun Chu who was sitting in the sunshine.
Before there were fewer people, the bears found out that someone was hurting them, so the bears went up the mountain to find people to beg for food.
