Destiny Only Han

Hengshan County.

Zhu County.

Jiangnan is good, it is best to be in red.

Although Liu Ying is in the north of the Yangtze River at the moment, it doesn't prevent him from wearing a very burnt red robe, a jade crown and a leather belt, and a small gold-painted fan in his hand. He is dressed like a son of a wealthy family.

Three days later, it will be the auspicious day calculated by the fortune teller to be suitable for the opening of the Jiangshui Bridge.

Therefore, the entire Zhu County was crowded with people who came to join in the fun and see the rare things.

Small merchants and hawkers naturally gathered like this.

In the bustling crowd, Liu Ying looked around and nodded: "I didn't expect that guy Zhao Sheng to be a stupid person but not stupid at heart..."

The Zhao Sheng he was talking about was the eldest son of Zhaoou, the Marquis of Guangyan.

He was successful in conquering the regicide Wei Man, so he officially joined the officialdom. Now he is only over thirty years old, but he is serving as the governor of Hengshan County. He is unparalleled in the limelight and is the leader of the new generation among the nobles of the Han Dynasty. figure.

Well, the biggest reason why Zhao Sheng was promoted so quickly was that his father, Zhao Ou, was from Peixian County.

Zhao Ou had a very good relationship with Liu Bang. He followed Liu Bang when he was in Mangdang Mountain. After that, he conquered Qin in the west, entered Hanzhong in the south, conquered the Three Qin in the north, went out to attack Chu in the east, and later participated in the war against the Xiongnu. The war belongs to the group that did not end in the war and made great contributions!
Naturally, blessed descendants.

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Zhang Buyu came over with an ivory folding fan and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

"You can't see for yourself?" Liu Ying said angrily, her eyes fixed on the ivory folding fan in Zhang Buyu's hand.

It was a folding fan with ivory ribs.

Well, just big bones.

The so-called big bones refer to the two outermost ribs of the folding fan. This is the door face of the folding fan. Naturally, good materials must be used. The small ribs of the folding fan, which is the fan bone in the middle of the folding fan, are made of ebony instead of all ivory. (Note [-])

This is not about saving materials, but mainly about practicality. After all, wood is lighter than ivory, and at the same time, it is also more resilient. In this way, you don’t have to worry about the fan breaking when you fan the wind.

As for the folding fan, it has a vivid picture of a bird, and the seal at the signature is a seal that Liu Ying once carved for Zhang Liang.

Layman Youlan.

Well, this is also the reason why Liu Ying has bright eyes.

Zhang Buyi followed Liu Ying's eyes and said very knowingly: "How about we switch?"

"That's not good. The so-called gentleman doesn't take people's love..." Liu Ying shook her head, and then said: "But if you insist on this, then I will be disrespectful."

As he spoke, he took the folding fan from Zhang Liang's hand. As for his own small gold-painted fan, he handed it to Liu Qi who was standing next to him.

Zhang Buyu's face was filled with questions. "

Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, and then started studying eagerly.

Benevolence, righteousness and morality are all bullshit. His father's actions at this moment are the true meaning of Liu's ability to win the world!

Liu Ying happily inserted the ivory fan into the fan pocket at her waist, pointed around and said, "Today is not a social day, and this place is not a market, but look, there are temporary shops everywhere, why do you think this is? "

"I understand, for business tax purposes." Zhang Buyi suddenly realized, and immediately added: "And our admission fee!"

As he spoke, he took out a stack of pieces of paper from his sleeve and flashed them.

Well, there are not only tickets for him and Liu Ying and Liu Qi, but also tickets for Liu Bang, Lu Wan and others. However, Peixian County F4 and Liu Le, Liu Hui and Liu You went to the other side to watch juggling, cockfighting and horn fighting. , and didn’t hang out with them.

Liu Ying nodded: "Yes, that's why I said that Zhaosheng is so bright in his heart. The main reason why Hengshan County can gather so many tourists is because the Jiangshui Bridge is about to open to traffic, and if you miss these few days, it will When there are so many people and so many merchants, there will no longer be a grand scene."

"So, if you want to make money and achieve political achievements, what you need is the courage to break the rules."

Liu Qi looked left and right, with an expression that showed he had learned something.

The formulation and implementation of laws and regulations usually lag behind social development.

For example, in the current Han Dynasty, except for Xinfeng City, a city that never sleeps due to special reasons, other cities, even prosperous cities like Chang'an City, also have curfews!

After dark, except for privileged personnel such as messengers who can walk in the city, even princes and ministers cannot violate the curfew, otherwise they will be impeached by the patrolling censor!
As for business, it can only be concentrated in specific areas.

For example, city.

Whether it is a regular market in the countryside or a market in the city, it needs special permission from the government. It is fenced off and no one is allowed to enter and exit at will. It is also governed by a government-appointed 'mayor', as well as government-appointed tax collectors and A group of vigilante 'temporaries' are in charge.

Therefore, setting up a stall along the street is absolutely prohibited!

Although the market outside Zhu County is now surrounded by fences, it is different from other markets. This is mainly to collect tickets from foreign tourists. As for those merchants, they only need to pay business tax and stall fees are not charged.

This is very different from any market anywhere.

Therefore, in the market outside the city, there are not only big merchants who have directly built a temporary shop, but also small traders who spread straw mats on the ground to set up stalls, and ordinary people around Hengshan County can be seen everywhere!
Really all the people set up stalls!
Liu Qi looked at it for a while and nodded secretly. He decided that if he wanted to conquer the Jin Kingdom in the future, he would definitely follow this method.

For example, to discover the local folk customs of Jin State, organize several similar celebrations regularly every month, and he will pay to hire some folk artists to perform, so as to attract the common people to come and join in the fun

When the people come, the merchants will follow.

Business taxes are naturally high.

Jin State naturally became rich.And he, the King of Jin, can also raise a few more beauties who can sing and dance like Shen'er...

Food color also.

Now that he is well fed and clothed, naturally all he can think about is that matter...

Thinking about it, the expression on Liu Qi's face became very strange.

Zhang Buyi followed his gaze and saw Hu Ji, who was selling wine as a bartender.

Hu Ji was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was as delicate as a flower. Although there were some freckles on her face and her skin became wheat-colored due to the wind and sun, it did not hinder her kind of girlishness. The unique youthful charm and the ultimate temptation brought by exotic customs.

But that's not the point.

The important thing is that from the way Hu Ji walks around pouring wine, you can clearly see that except for the outer skirt, she has no clothes on the inside, so her movements are full of spring.

Therefore, the business of that restaurant is much better than other restaurants.

There were basically no seats left.

All men!

Zhang Busuo smiled, nudged Liu Ying with his elbow, and lowered his voice: "As the saying goes, it's better to open up the road than to block it... Do you see how suffocated your boss is?"

Liu Ying pretended not to hear, turned her head and walked to another street silently leading Liu Qi who didn't know why.

He was going to join up with Peixian F4 who was playing crazy.

Otherwise, what can he do?
Is it possible to take Liu Qi to see Raisin?

A moment later, Liu Ying saw Liu Bang, who was blushing, and Lu Wan, Liu Jiao, and Liu Jia, who were also blushing, in a fenced fence.

"What's going on?" Liu Ying leaned over and asked.

"I'm so worried." Liu Le said concisely and to the point.

As she spoke, she took out the money from her purse and handed it to the four Peixian F4s who were clamoring to get their money back...

Liu Ying stretched her neck and saw two gray shadows jumping around quickly in the hook fence. The fight was very fierce, and occasionally there were a few strange noises.

He frowned and asked, "What is this fight about?"

Liu Le replied: "Quail."

Liu Ying's eyes widened: "Can you fight like this?"

"Where did this country turtle come from?" Liu Le looked at him with disdain and squinted: "Don't tell me you've never seen anyone fighting quail?"

Liu Ying shook her head: "I've never seen it before... I've only seen cockfighting, dog fighting, bullfighting, and yes, cricket fighting!"

"Fighting crickets?" Liu Le suddenly became interested: "Tell me, what kind of fighting method is it?"

Liu Ying recalled: "It's similar to cockfighting. It uses the aggressive characteristics of males. Put two crickets in an earthen pot and let them fight each other... Well, if you want to play, you can go to Ande County, Qi State ( The quality of crickets in present-day Ningjin County, Dezhou, Shandong Province is the best!"

"As for the time, it's best to give it another two months, after autumn..."

Liu Le nodded and kept this in mind.

She planned to send a report to Liu Fei after she returned, asking Liu Fei to send people to catch a batch of crickets locally, so that when she returned to Chang'an City, she could learn about this new way of playing!

Zhang Buyi stood aside, his nose twitching twice: "It smells so good! What does it smell like?"

Liu Le lowered his head and said very coquettishly: "I hate it..."

She is also a woman, so she naturally puts on make-up, makeup, and makeup when she goes out. Although she is dressing up in men's clothing today and doesn't do much makeup, she still has a sachet hanging on her body.

It’s delicious!
Zhang Buyi was bewildered.

Liu Ying laughed and screamed: "This guy seems to be asking about the aroma of the stew... goose goose goose burp!"

Liu Le: "..."

Liu Qi tugged on Liu Ying's sleeve: "The smell comes from there...it seems like quail is being stewed!"

Liu Ying was stunned.

He also saw that there was a stove built next to the hook fence, and earthen pots were piled on the stove. Whenever a quail was defeated in the hook fence, it would immediately have its leg hair disemboweled, put it into the pot and add water to stew...

Nothing goes to waste!
Zhang Buji looked around, his eyes full of the fireworks of the market, and said in a low voice: "It seems that the attack on the guilds has not affected the normal life of the people... but I am worrying too much."

Note [-]: In ancient times, there were many ivory folding fans that not only used ivory for the fan bones, but also used ivory for the fan surface. There are many similar exhibits in Guangzhou Thirteenth Line Museum and Dongguan Museum. Whether the shape is exquisite and whether the carved pattern is beautiful depends on the person. Different, but everyone can feel one word.

expensive.

After all, these are luxury goods exported to Europe in ancient times. They are the Chinese versions of Chanel and Prada...
