"This government only charges us one tael of silver every month. It's like the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva!"
"Besides, without the support of the government, we wouldn't be where we are today!"
"If your guest continues to criticize our Lingzhou government, don't blame me for not accepting you."
"Be bold!"
Jing Li's face turned cold, and he was about to have an attack, but Emperor Yu stopped him: "Old man, how can I make a living with one tael of silver a month?"
Emperor Yu's face was full of confusion. It was clearly the government that was exploiting the people, so why was this old man still speaking for the government?
Could it be that the violent officials in Lingzhou City have reached the point where ordinary people dare not speak out in anger?
"snort!"
"Don't look at the old man who is lame in one leg. Under the battlements of the city wall, the old man can sell hundreds of hand cakes a day!"
"You can make three to five taels of silver in just one month!"
"The government only accepts one tael from us, that is, His Highness King Yong... If it were done when King Huai was around... Haha!"
The old man did not continue speaking, glanced at Emperor Yu, and then said: "I heard your accent, are you from the capital?"
Hearing the old man suddenly speaking in dialect, Emperor Yu was also startled: "Is the old man from the capital?"
"Yes!"
"My son died in the west. I sent my wife away last year. I am helpless in the capital. In addition, I am lame on one leg. The old man was originally planning to leave."
"Who knew that His Highness King Yong would send someone to the capital to pick up useless people like us!"
"No... the one in the wheelchair has no children and is alone. However, he fought with the barbarians on the battlefield and had a lot of blood on his hands."
"And the old woman and her three sons all died on the southern expedition the year before last."
"Most of the people below this city were picked up from the capital by His Highness King Yong. They are helpless. It was His Highness King Yong who gave us old losers a way to survive!"
"Hey!"
"Although my son is gone, old man, my life is nourishing. When I close the stall at night, I can still go to Linghu Lake to listen to music!"
Seeing the proud expression on the old man's face, Emperor Yu, Jing Li and his entourage all fell silent and looked at the figures beside them, their eyes filled with melancholy.
"Is there any government servant who secretly asks for money from you?"
"Huh?" When the old man heard this, he suddenly looked depressed: "I asked you, why are you so judgmental?"
"Not to mention the government officials here are all locals. Whoever dares to bully the villagers does not need the government to come forward. See if the people here and outside can drown him with spittle!"
"People from ten miles and eight villages can't see each other when they look up, but who dares to ride on our head?"
"Besides, Prince Yong's Palace and Lingzhou Government have clearly stipulated that anyone who dares to bully the people, engage in corruption or accept bribes will be dealt with strictly!"
As the old man spoke, he skillfully wrapped the hand cake in paper and handed it over: "If I work for another three or two months, I will move to the snack street."
"It's still too deserted here."
"snack block?"
Emperor Yu caught the key word, and looked around subconsciously, looking at the noisy flow of people. Is it deserted here?
"Old man, where is the snack street?"
"Hey!"
The old man smiled and explained softly: "The snack street is a street in the city, and it is also one of the characteristics of our Lingzhou city. If guests like to eat, they can eat at the snack street, whether they are coming from the south or the north. Suit your own taste!"
"His Royal Highness King Yong invited cooks, masters, and heirs of famous food from all over the country!"
"Gather them in the snack street and eat all over the world in one street!"
"When the old man moves in, hey, I can go to Goukan a few more times a month."
Zhao Huaiyuan and others looked at the old man with admiration: "I am always strong and strong, the younger generation admires me!"
"Master, let's go into the city too?"
"Um!"
Emperor Yu nodded and looked toward the city gate. The group was about to enter, but was stopped by the government officials below the city tower.
"Everyone, you can't ride horses in the city, but you can ride in a carriage!"
"good!"
Emperor Yu turned over and dismounted very cooperatively. Zhao Huaiyuan grabbed the cake with one hand and stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes constantly looking towards the city.
As soon as everyone entered the city, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
The spacious street branches off in the middle. There are carriages, pedestrians, husbands and vendors on both sides, and you can't see the end at a glance. The most terrifying thing is that this street is nearly ten feet wide!
"How many of them are from out of town?"
"good!"
Before Emperor Yu could recover from the shock in front of him, he saw a sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked young man with a shrewd look on his face approaching him: "I am a dental practitioner. Can any of your guests need help?" of?"
As Yaozi spoke, he took the reins from Jing Li's hand and said with a smile: "Our Lingzhou City is very different from before. If it's your first time here and you need some help, you should be able to do something." It will go much smoother!"
"Um!"
Emperor Yu also nodded and said softly: "In that case, take us to the inn first and make sure the conditions are good."
"Okay!"
"Master, I wonder which star you plan to stay in?"
"Oh?" Emperor Yu had a look of confusion on his face: "What else can you say?"
"certainly!"
"These hundreds of inns in the city have been rated by the government and are divided into one to three stars, with one star being the lowest and three stars being the highest!"
“The price is also different!”
"Looking at your clothes, I think you will live in a Samsung hotel."
"interesting!"
Emperor Yu clapped his hands and laughed. He looked at Jing Li and said with a smile: "In that case, take us to Sanxing Station!"
"Okay, Master, come with me!"
Under the leadership of Yaozi, Emperor Yu and his party walked along the street smoothly. The shops on both sides were crowded with people. Now that it was getting late, the shops had hung up lanterns one after another. The noisy flow of people all told the story of this city. bustling!
"The theater is opening!"
"What's the song today?"
"I heard that Mu Guiying was in charge and His Highness King Yong personally composed the music!"
"Walk!"
A shout on the street caught Emperor Yu's attention, and then he looked at Yao Zi beside him: "Where is this theater?"
"But Goulan?"
"No!" Yaozi grinned and explained softly: "The theater is a place for performances, which is different from Goulan!"
"Guests can understand it as a theater, but it is different from an ordinary theater. The various mysteries need to be experienced by the guests themselves!"
"good!"
Emperor Yu didn't ask any more questions. After the group arrived at the post house, Yaozi said: "A few guests are from out of town. Please register your identity and then you can stay!"
"You can go to the most famous Baixiangju in Lingzhou City to try it later."
"This Baixiangju is the first floor of our Lingzhou building. It has great color, fragrance and fragrance. It has always been popular among tourists from other places. I'm afraid it may no longer have a place at this time!"
"However, this small place has a reservation in advance. Can you tell me, sir?"
Emperor Yu took a deep look at Yao Zi and didn't care. He smiled and nodded: "Since you said so, then you have to try it!"
