Li Shui looked at these courtiers, and then shook his head.
So childish.
What haven't you seen before? This set doesn't work for me at all, okay?
Seeing that Li Shui had no reaction, the courtiers turned to Li Xin and looked at him emphatically.
Some narrow-minded courtiers even came to Li Xin with teacups and said hypocritically: "General Li, do you want to have a taste?"
Unexpectedly, Li Xin directly picked up the tea cup and drank a cup of tea in one gulp.
After finishing the drink, Li Xin smacked his lips and said with some disappointment: "I thought this tea was so magical, but now that I'm drinking it in my mouth, I feel that the taste is bland, far worse than wine."
courtier:"……"
Ten thousand dollars, just gone?
A cup of tea costing 10,000 yuan should be savored carefully. Why did he drink it all in one gulp?
Li Xin bowed his hand to the courtier and said, "Although the tea is not very good, I still thank you very much."
So... the courtier went back and sat down with a sad face.
The waiter asked the courtier warmly: "My lord, would you like another drink?"
The courtier waved his hand and said hurriedly: "No need."
There were snickers all around.
Ying Zheng said to the saucer calmly: "You'd better tell us how to prevent fraud when we arrive in Yiqu City."
The courtiers nodded immediately.
They followed the saucer to the teahouse just to hear about it, but now they didn't hear anything, so they spent 10,000 yuan inexplicably first.
Seeing Ying Zheng's inquiry, Sauter quickly coughed lightly and said with a sincere face: "In Yiqu City, there are all kinds of deceptions, abductions, and thefts. But the most serious thing is cheating, which is hard to guard against."
Having said this, Li Xin whispered to Li Shui: "Brother Huai, I always feel that this person wants to slander Yiqu City, won't you stop him?"
Li Shui shook his head: "No need to stop him, I know what he said is true. I have already experienced this kind of thing."
Li Xin was stunned: "Is it all true? Didn't Master Fu Yao's governance fail?"
Li Shui smiled: "It's not necessarily a failure. This is just a necessary path. As long as the laws are perfected, it can be avoided."
Li Xin nodded.
Since Li Shui was so confident, Li Xin said nothing more.
I saw the saucer saying with excitement: "Before you enter the teahouse, you should have seen Ma Bian. Ma Bian is one of the liars."
"Actually, there are many people in Yiqu City who use the same tricks as Ma Bian. They all have treasures hidden deep in their homes, or they dug out treasures from the fields while plowing."
"Then I want to sell the treasure to someone who knows the goods. Sometimes the price of the treasure is extremely low, and some merchants are fooled because they want to take advantage."
"Sometimes the price of this treasure is higher, but those scammers will make up a touching story. And you adults are compassionate and compassionate, so you will be deceived by them again."
Chunyu Yueshen nodded in agreement.
The saucer's words really spoke to his heart.
The saucer continued: "In addition to this type of people, there is another type. These people make begging a profession. In fact, they are not beggars, they just wear rags every day and pretend to be beggars."
"Some people even dress up as disabled people and lie on the ground to arouse the sympathy of noble people. In this way, they beg for money."
Li Si stroked his beard, smiled slightly, and said, "In my country, Da Qin, it is a crime to be idle and begging on the street if you are not engaged in production."
Sauter laughed dryly and said, "After Mr. Fu Yao arrived, he abolished this crime."
Chunyu Yue smiled slightly and said, "Master Fu Yao is quite relaxed in his administration."
Chunyu Yue meant what he said.
After all, Fusu was criticized for his loose policies. Now that Master Fu Yao is more relaxed in his administration, what else is there to say?
Fusu and Hu Hai suddenly discovered that although they were not very good at what they did, they were still outstanding compared with Fu Yao.
Unexpectedly, the saucer glanced at Chun Yuyue, and his tone was a little unconvinced. He said, "Actually, Mr. Fu Yao has his own reasons for doing this."
"The Master said that some beggars do beg on the streets because they are idle and lazy, but there are also some beggars who live on the streets because of poor financial luck."
"After the Master was exempted from this law, he has been thinking of ways to identify these beggars. Those who have sound hands and feet and are willing to endure hardships have been given livelihood arrangements so that they can have a full meal and see the hope of living."
Li Shui was amazed when he saw it, and thought to himself: Fu Yao has done a good job here, even liars obey him?
Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Continue to tell me, who else should I be wary of in Yiqu City?"
The saucer responded, and then said: "There is also a kind of person who looks neatly dressed and elegant in appearance, as if he has read a book."
"They can also beg, but the way of begging is very special. They will say that they are merchants or traveling scholars, but they encountered thieves and were robbed of their livelihood, so they cannot return home. I hope the nobles can help them."
"Actually, if you pay attention, you will find that they have been begging for many years. Their monthly income is enough to go around Daqin, but they all insist on begging because they are all beggars doing this."
All the court officials nodded repeatedly and said with great emotion: "It's really an eye-opener."
The saucer added: "Besides, there are often men beating women on the street. While beating them, they scold her for not being filial to her aunt. The old man at home is seriously ill in bed and is dizzy from hunger, but this woman sneaks out and wanders around."
"While cursing, the man wanted to drag the woman home."
Chunyu Yue couldn't help but said: "Filial piety is a matter of course. This woman should be punished for being so unfilial."
The saucer gave a wry smile and said, "At first, we thought that was the case. But it took time for us to understand."
"Actually, this man doesn't know women at all. This man is Yazi who specializes in human trafficking. Yazi specializes in selecting women from other places, or women who have few relatives and friends, to plunder and sell them into slaves."
"If a woman resists and asks passers-by for help, the girl will beat and scold her and scold her for being unfilial. Some kind-hearted people will believe it and stop meddling in this business."
Chunyu Yue was dumbfounded: "How could... such a thing actually happen? Using filial piety as a cover to do such an outrageous thing, isn't he afraid of being struck by lightning?"
The saucer sighed and said, "How can those deceivers have any virtue at all?"
"Also, please don't go out to buy anything after dark."
"Some vendors come out to set up stalls when it's dark and it's difficult to see clearly. I have a friend who once bought a roast chicken at dusk."
"The chicken is fragrant and heavy in my hand. I originally planned to have a good meal with my mother after I get home."
"As a result, when I looked under the lamp, I saw that the roasted chicken had only one skeleton. Except for the chicken head, there was no skin or flesh anywhere else. Instead, it was covered with mud and straw. The outermost layer was brushed with oil. It smells delicious, but it’s inedible.”
"My friend was so angry that he went to the street to look for the hawker. Where could he find him?"
The courtiers couldn't help but want to laugh, but they felt that gloating was not good enough.
The saucer added: "Another time, I had a friend who was going to get married, so I wanted to buy some lamp oil."
"In order to be frugal, he ran around all day but was still reluctant to buy it. At dusk, he found someone selling oil on the street at a cheap price."
"My friend was overjoyed and quickly bought some. But on the day of the wedding, lanterns were decorated and lights were everywhere. The lights burned for a while and then were extinguished one by one."
"After careful inspection, I discovered that the lamp oil I bought that day was actually mixed with water. It was just that the oil floated on the water and was never found."
The courtiers all said with emotion: "This Yiqu City is really a bit chaotic. I don't know if it is like this in other places."
Sauter said: "The entire local county is like this. Sirs, if you want to visit here, you'd better be careful."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
At this time, the waiter came up again and asked everyone: "Would you like some pastries?"
The courtiers subconsciously refused.
Having already been cheated out of 10,000 yuan, who wants to continue to be taken advantage of?
But after taking a closer look at the pastries, the prices are quite reasonable.
This is not to say that the price of this pastry is cheap, but it is similar to the price in Xianyang City.
Soon, courtiers discovered that barley pastries were also available.
They asked curiously: "Is this the barley cake from Xianyang City?"
The waiter said with a smile: "Yes, it is the barley cake in Xianyang City. You nobles can try it, the taste is definitely not bad."
The courtiers asked: "Is this cake delivered by a fast horse?"
The waiter smiled slightly and said, "In that case, it's probably stale. It's windy and dusty along the way, so where can I get into the noble man's mouth?"
"These cakes are all made today in Yiqucheng. Barley cakes have already opened a branch in Beidi County."
The saucer said next to him: "When Mr. Fu Yao first came to Beidi County, he called on merchants from all over the country to build shops here. Barley was the first batch to come."
"By the way, Mr. Fu Yao seems to be paying for the road construction and barley cakes."
Li Shui was extremely moved: Damai, what a good person.
But then I thought about it, Shangjun Villa also has a lot of shares in Damai.
After all, I am also a good person.
After eating the pastries, the saucer stood up and said with a smile: "Dear gentlemen, I have been disturbing you for a long time, so I will take my leave."
"The nobles use it lightly, but the humble man can pay for the tea."
The saucer said as he took out the money from his pocket.
As a result, he took out a bunch of things: handkerchiefs, keys, wooden tigers, small stones...
While taking out the saucer, he said sheepishly: "You nobles are laughing at me. I have more odds and ends here. I'll find the money right away."
The courtier next to him said: "You can go on your own. We will pay for the tea. There is no hindrance to treating you to a cup of tea. You don't have to be polite."
I still have to pay for the saucer.
The courtiers grimaced and said, "If you continue to take money, you will look down on us."
Then he took the saucer back piece by piece, thanked the courtiers profusely, and left.
After the saucer left, the courtier ordered the waiter to close the door of the private room and retreat outside, so there was no need to wait around.
After the door was closed, Chunyu Yue took the lead in attacking.
He sighed heavily and said with great sadness: "This Yiqu City is simply a land of tigers and wolves. If you are not careful, you will be deceived."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Even Li Shui nodded.
Chun Yuyue saw that Li Shui still had the nerve to follow him and he was a little unhappy. He said to Li Shui: "Exiled Immortal, don't you think that the reason why there are so many evil people in Yiqu City has a lot to do with you?"
Li Shui bowed his hand to Ying Zheng and said with great sincerity: "Your Majesty, Dr. Chunyu slandered me."
Ying Zheng seemed to be thinking about something. He looked at Li Shui, then at Chun Yuyue, and said calmly: "Dr. Chunyu, if you have any doubts, it's best to make it clear."
Chunyu Yue sighed and said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, everyone in the world knows that merchants value profits? And Master Fu Yao governs a county with merchants."
"In less than a year, the atmosphere in Beidi County has changed drastically. The people here are extremely cunning. They don't care about production, but only think about how to deceive people. This... this is really appalling."
Li Shui suddenly laughed.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui: "Why are you laughing?"
Li Shui said: "I am laughing at Dr. Chunyu. A leaf blocks his eyesight and he cannot see Mount Tai."
"If you take Dr. Chunyu to the prison for a while, Dr. Chunyu may feel that Beidi County is full of evil people who kill people and steal goods."
"You just invited the saucers here just to hear the stories about deceit and abduction. After listening to this, you don't really think that there are only bad people in Beidi County and there are no good people anymore, right?"
Chunyu Yue said angrily: "However, there are too many bad people in Beidi County."
Li Shui sighed: "There are swindlers in Beidi County, and it is indeed related to supporting business. However... we can't ban merchants just because they bring swindlers. Isn't this because of choking?"
"There are good things in the way of a businessman, but there are also bad things. What we have to do is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."
Chunyu Yue stared and said, "Merchant does a lot of harm but does no good."
Li Shui smiled: "Really?"
He suddenly opened the door and said to the outside: "Come in."
The guy who was kicked out just now was called in again.
Li Shui pointed at Chunyu Yue and said, "My lord, I know some high-ranking and powerful people. He wants to write to Your Majesty to ban the merchants in Yiqu City to prevent scammers from running rampant. What do you think?"
The waiter stood there in shock for a while before saying, "I think it's inappropriate."
Chunyu Yue was stunned: "Are you willing to be deceived?"
The guy thought for a while and said, "After the villain was deceived, he was naturally very angry. But... the liar came to deceive the villain because he has something to deceive."
"In the past, there were no swindlers in Yiqu City because everyone was poor. Even if the swindlers racked their brains, they could not get even half a tael of money."
"Therefore, the villain feels that although there are swindlers in the city, we can avoid them if we are more vigilant. We should ban merchants... Maybe the swindlers will leave, but we will not have enough to eat."
"The villain would rather be cheated than have a few good meals."
