Chang'an is fine!
Nothing seems to be able to make Chang'an City change its way of operation.

Even if the incident of Ashina Duzhi and Li Zhexuan's rebellion, which was very popular in the court, immediately turned into an act of suicide in the teahouses and wine shops in Chang'an.

No one cares about this matter.

Instead, the casino offered odds to see how long these two people could last. Of course, the time unit is measured in months.

Tea houses are a new thing in Chang'an, which has 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 strange things to it.

Most of the teas we drink now are roasted tea leaves. The roasted tea leaves have a lot less bitter taste and a lot more fragrance of tea leaves.

In addition, Chang'an people's lives have changed a lot, and no one is willing to put various spices, suet, butter, and soufflé in clear soup and tea.

The former Qinling tycoon Huo Du's favorite thing to do now is to come to the canteen every day to eat a bowl of noodle soup, and then go to the bathhouse to take a beautiful bath. Whenever he soaks his scarred body in the big canteen When he put a hot towel on his face by the sink, the bathhouse guy put a large pot of freshly brewed jasmine tea on his head. There was no teacup, and if he was thirsty, he would take a sip from the spout.

It is not good to take a bath when you are hungry, but it is a good time to take a bath when you are full. Lying in the hot water, feeling the food slowly digested in the stomach, doing nothing, is the most beautiful day for choler.

The reason why we can live such a good life is that we must thank His Majesty today. His Majesty the Emperor changed his Yuan to Longshuo, and decreed to exempt Longyou Dao from the three-year lease. This is an act of hiding wealth for the people. I hope Longyou The people have worked hard in the past three years to save more money and food to cope with the famine.

Your Majesty is a good Majesty. I heard that after the three-year tax-free period of Longyou Dao is over, Shannan Dao will follow. In short, all the ten lands of the Tang Dynasty will be rotated in 30 years.

Reduction and exemption of rent and servant transfers in ten lands will not cause any trouble to the current Tang Dynasty. This part of the reduced income will be made up by the Anxi, Beiting, Liaodong, Guangzhou and other capital guards.

Although doing so will make life difficult for the people of the Duhufu, they will understand after only 30 years. After all, after these 30 years, it will be their turn to reduce or exempt rent.

In the year of Long Shuo, the emperor also issued a decree of amnesty, except for the heinous crimes that were not included in the amnesty category, and the rest were included in the amnesty category.

Huo Du took advantage of this opportunity to leave Wannian County's death row in an upright manner and became a good citizen in Chang'an City.

Speaking of which, Yunchu was very trustworthy. Although he took away a large part of the money they earned in the Western Regions, he still left them some living expenses.

This part of the money is enough for them to live until they die in Chang'an.

Yun Chu was more or less reasonable, but his subordinates were very jerks, and there was nothing to talk about except that they insisted on money.

Especially that prison head, Yan Jiu, charged them for their prison accommodation, and the most outrageous thing was the high sanitation fee.

After living in prison for two months, the money Yun Chu left them was only enough to live their entire life tightly.

After receiving the emperor's amnesty, Huo Du was surprised to find that his three wives, six sons, and three daughters had actually started business in Chang'an City. Although the store was a little smaller, they lived without problems.

Not only him, but also the other old thieves who walked into the Wannian County Prison automatically, and the family members of the thieves did the same. In safety, the officers and soldiers and the police officers don't have to dodge when they see them.

Thus, Huo Du, the former thief, began to enjoy his peaceful years, and regarded the past green forest years as a dream.

The skin all over his body was wrinkled by the hot water, and Huo Du drank the warm jasmine tea happily.

Then he climbed out of the hot water pool, shook off his heavy weight, found a bamboo bed and lay down, and said to the elderly man, "Your waist is not strong, it may be due to the wind. .”

The old man was black and thin, but he was quite strong. He grabbed one of Huo Du's arms and one leg, pulled them up vigorously, then shook his hands, turned him over, and then used a cotton swab to clean it up. After the anti-virus was ignited, it spun around in the bamboo tube as thick as a teacup, and then pressed it tightly on his waist.

When his back and waist were full of cupping pots, Huo Du moaned comfortably, and quietly buried his head in the hole dug out on the bamboo bed, enjoying the pleasure of the cold air being pulled out by the bamboo tube.

There was movement from the bamboo beds on the left and right, someone should have come. In the past, Huo Du would never have dared to show his back to others so unsuspectingly... Now, Huo Du feels that the people on both sides It shouldn't be here to kill him.

"Old Huo, the caravan in Hezhong wants to hire us to go back to Hezhong in autumn. We agreed and are going to bring some goods to Hezhong. Would you like to join us?"

Hearing the voice was Li Chengzhou, an old thief from Shangshan, Huo Du poked his head into the hole, looked at Li Chengzhou's protruding mouth and said, "Now I wish I could die of old age in Chang'an, and I don't want to go to a place like the middle of the river to eat wind and sand."

"Old Huo, you have six sons and three daughters. Has your eldest son said he has kissed you? Has your daughter promised to others?"

Huo Du struggled to turn his head to look at the mouth of Yushan old thief Peng Yuanhu and said, "The biggest one is only fifteen, and it can be delayed for two years."

Li Chengzhou said: "All the money in our brothers' hands was sold to the county magistrate as an identity that can pass the Ming road. The rest of the money can save a little bit of hard life and pay off. If you want to live in the past The day of eating is over.

I didn't dare to go to Pingkangfang to play games before. After going there twice during this period, I found out that I entered the den of goblins. Everything is good, but the same is not good. "

Huo Du smiled and said: "That's not good. I heard that the orchids in that place and the Silla maidservants are all good one by one. The taste is a bit stronger. There is not even a shortage of Japanese women with black teeth. These people are the most Knowing how to serve people, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?"

Peng Yuanhu laughed and said: "It's good, but it's too expensive. I filled in all the little money I earned hard in the Western Regions."

Huo Du chuckled and said, "You deserve it."

Li Chengzhou smiled and said: "Now the caravan from Chang'an will go back to the Western Regions in autumn. As long as we are willing, we can make a lot of money by going back to the Western Regions. This time, the county lords should only collect taxes. Will blackmail our money again.

Huo, think about it, when it comes to familiarity with the Western Regions, there are a few people who can surpass us, bring goods when they go, and then serve as guards for others, and bring goods when they come back, and continue to be guards for others. In and out, a lot of money is earned, even if the dolls are about to get married, those of us who are old people can still make up a few, what do you think? "

Huo Du shook his head and said, "Haven't you heard? Ashina Duzhi rebelled against Li Zhexuan, and going in autumn happens to be a time of chaos."

Peng Yuanhu sneered and said: "What we want is war and chaos, and that's what we people eat."

Huo Du thought for a while and said, "How many people are willing to return to the Western Regions?"

Li Chengzhou said: "We have to go to all of them. We will make up a guard team of a hundred or ten people, and then we can take care of a large caravan. The reputation of the old men used to be notorious, but now it is worth a lot of money."

"Bobobobo" After a sound of bamboo pipes leaving the body, Huo Du slowly got up and looked at the two old thieves whose bodies were covered with bamboo pipes, took a sip of tea and said, "I think we can go to the county government to register one." The guards are good... Go to Qujiang to see if there are any bounty tasks that we can complete without much effort.

If this matter is done well and the road is cleared, the little ones in the family will have a good way of life in the future, won't they? "

In any era, as long as the government is strong and reasonable, there will be no room for bandits to move.

Huo Du and others understand that being a bandit near Chang'an is a career with no future.

The training time of the government soldiers in Wannian County has become an endless time for clearing the countryside and suppressing bandits.

During the Zhenguan period, there were still stories of tigers sneaking into Chang'an Fangshi, which was not neatly walled, and eating people. Now, all tigers that can enter Chang'an City are either food or medicinal materials.

In the past, hunting was successful as long as you crossed the Qujiang River. Now if you want to hunt, you need to go to Lantian Bailuyuan and enter the Qinling Mountains.

Just like this, there is still no big prey. Since the emperor designated the flower bear as an auspicious beast, they are the only beasts that can be seen near Chang'an City.

After there were too many people, Huaxiong found that no one hurt them, so Huaxiong went down the mountain to find someone to beg for food.

Even flower bears don't bite people, and when they start getting close to people, thinking about being a hero in the green forest is killing themselves.

After the last piece of goods from the Western Regions on the Liushui card in Qujiang was bought by a gong, after two months of operation, the merchants of the Tang Dynasty finally swallowed all the goods brought by the cannibals, the Persians, and the people in the river. up.

Yun Chu, who was drinking tea in the official residence, suddenly discovered that four servants had completely opened the four doors of his official residence, so that the sunlight penetrated into the room, shining brightly on the entire lobby.

He covered the glare of the sun with one hand, and when he was about to yell and curse, he found that his door was full of people, headed by Liu Yuanshou, the chief bookkeeper, holding a thick stack of books in his hand, behind him, It is the officials of the entire Wannian county government.

Everyone saluted Yun Chu who was sitting in the sun in unison.

As for the chief bookkeeper, high-ranking officials such as county Wei and county magistrates, they do very rhythmic dances, which is what people often call dancing with hands and feet.

A smile gradually appeared on Yunchu's face, as long as he left the court, he would be able to see such dancing and dancing.

Liu Yuanshou stopped dancing, took the account book from the official again, placed it respectfully on Yunchu's table, and whispered: "Big profit, great profit."
