The merchants didn't know about the mawei part in their peripheral vision. In their eyes, they only saw the rules of Luocheng people.

In the past, this kind of order could only be seen in the capital, or in places where literati gathered.

But now that it happened in the desolate Luocheng, it was really weird no matter how you looked at it.

As the guard read out the jobs one by one, the steward's eyes were full of surprise: There are so many jobs in Luocheng.

Seeing that even children were given the job of pushing snow, the manager finally understood why the streets in Luocheng were so clean.

However, Luocheng's snow clearing tool is quite interesting. It's just a piece of wood and a stick, and when pushed out flatly, a large area of ​​the ground is cleared.

It's more like play than work.

There were also a few children who were mumbling something while pushing the snow.

The steward walked over curiously and listened, only to find that what they were reciting was actually the Three-Character Sutra.

This is a bit strange!

The steward used a few candied fruits to find out the whole story from one of the little children. It turned out that Uncle Changbei asked Aunt Yu Xin to write these three-character sutras at the door of the uncle's house every day.

Moreover, Uncle Changbei promised that as long as some of them can memorize these things by the next spring, Uncle Changbei will pay for them to study.

But the premise is that they must be from Luocheng, Jicheng or Zecheng.

If you want to join these three cities, you must meet the standards required by Northland.

In order to seize this opportunity to change their family background, those families who wanted to make a comeback were jealous. Not only did they work frantically, but they also carefully urged their children to make progress.

Only those things that you have worked hard for will be cherished.

Children also begin to take pride in learning.

As for those children who were exiled, although they cannot take the examination for merit and honor, this does not delay their studies.

Most of the people who can be exiled to the Northland have some skills, at least not lacking in cultural level.

Therefore, I also understand Yu Guang's thoughts better. With Yu Guang's big move, the Northland will inevitably undergo earth-shaking changes.

Although they were punished and could not return to the capital for three generations, they could still learn more and find a good job in the North, which was better than hard labor every day.

As a result, the sound of children reading could be heard all over the Northland.

After hearing the child's explanation, the steward couldn't help but sigh: This Changbei Hou really has some tricks up his sleeve!

The more he thought about it, the more powerful he became, and the steward was filled with awe of Yu Guang.

Before they met, most of the people were intimidated.

At this moment, a guard from the uncle's mansion saw the steward and asked, "Where did you come from and why are you lingering at the gate of the uncle's mansion in Changbei."

Feeling that if he didn't speak, the other party would probably stab him in the head, so the manager hurriedly identified himself.

Hearing that the other party was here to buy goods, the guard's expression relaxed: "Since you are here to buy, let's go to the shopping street in the west of the city. Aunt Yu Xin happened to be sorting things there today."

Seeing the opponent's cold weapon, the steward nodded quickly: "We'll go there right now."

The guard was talking to Yu Guang on one side. On the other side, the excited child had already run to look for Yu Xin: "Aunt, aunt, a caravan is coming to discuss business with you."

Yu Xin responded with a smile, grabbed a handful of fried soybeans and stuffed them into the child's pocket: "It's very well done."

The child covered his pocket with a look of surprise. This was a good thing. He wanted to take it back to his father and grandfather to enjoy.

Yu Xin ordered her servants to burn the earth dragon even hotter. The uncle said that what they wanted to sell was not only the goods, but also the shops in the city...

As the setting sun set, Yu Xin returned to the uncle's house with a disappointed look on his face.

At this time, Yu Guang was leaning on the kang reading a book, while Yu Jing was gently beating her legs.

Seeing Yu Xin entering the room with a lonely expression, Yu Jing asked softly: "Is the business not done?"

Yu Xin was a little depressed: "The business is done, 1500 kilograms of wool and 15,000 taels, and a hundred sets of bamboo needles and an embroidery girl are included."

They don't have a lot of yarn in stock this year, so they need to stock up on more.

It’s better to go out from home.

Yu Jing's expression was a little confused: "Isn't this a deal? Why do you still look so unhappy? Could it be that someone is trying to rob us by force?"

Yu Xin found a comfortable position and nestled in Ruantan Mountain: "Luocheng belongs to my uncle, not to mention that he is a general. Just look at His Majesty standing behind, no one dares to cause trouble."

This time, without waiting for Yu Jing to ask, Yu Guang gave the answer directly: "The store is not going well."

Yu Xin gave a dull sigh: She no longer wanted to ask her uncle how he knew, it was true that it didn't go well anyway.

Seeing the smile between Yu Guang's eyebrows, Yu Xin's voice was a little anxious: "How can you still laugh?"

Yu Qing glanced at her with a smile: "I only said that the shops would be opened, but I didn't say when the shops would be opened. Now is not a good time. Even if I exempt them from taxes, they will not attract big merchants. Instead, they will be left behind. My own name."

After hearing this, Yu Xin finally regained some energy: "Then what are your plans."

Yu Guang gently turned the page of the book again: "Wait..."

There is no problem that time cannot solve.

Then Yu Guang's smile faded, well, this sentence is not absolute...

From that day on, merchants came to Beidi one after another.

During the Chinese New Year, Yu Guang asked craftsmen to make many fireworks, feasting the eyes of the people in the three cities.

Now they have cotton clothes on their bodies, coins in their pockets, and food in their bowls, and they live with hope.

I only hope that Uncle Changbei can stay in Beidi for a long time and never leave.

And those families with daughters also love their girls more and more: Aunt Changbei Hou, Yu Jing, and Yu Xin are all women, and they can be independent like men. If they train themselves, it will be okay in the future.

The most important thing is that most of the people working in Uncle Changbei's house are women. Can they look forward to it?

When the fireworks lit up, out of the corner of his eye, he took a jar of wine and went directly to the roof to drink to himself.

Her blood is cold no matter what. I wonder if wine will help.

Yu Jing stared at Yu Guang nervously, not only afraid that Yu Guang would drink too much and fall off the top, but also afraid that Yu Guang would catch cold.

You must know that now her honor, disgrace, and even her wealth and life are tied to Yu Guang.

Nothing can happen to my uncle.

Yu Xin, on the other hand, stared at the sky and smiled like a fool.

Although fireworks are set off every year in the Imperial City, she has never been so close to them like now.

What a beauty!

Seeing Yu Xin's heartless look, Yu Jing pushed her speechlessly: "Don't you care about me?"

I really don't know what the uncle sees in Yu Xin. It can be seen just from daily contact: the uncle is closer to Yu Xin than to himself.

I just don’t know what caught my uncle’s eye about Yu Xin.

Yu Xin looked up at Yu Guang again, and then shook her head at Yu Jing: "Don't worry about uncle, she doesn't have us in her heart now. It would be a pity not to see such beautiful fireworks. Don't let uncle down."

The uncle who climbed so high must be missing someone important, because if she was thinking about someone, she would do it quietly and not want to be disturbed.

Yu Jing: "..." You are so careless!
