After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 436 The Fat Sheep
Withered vines and old trees, there are no faint crows.

There was no one in the wind and snow.

Leaving Huangji Town, Li Chenan and his party walked on this official road for four full days.

There was a dead silence between heaven and earth, as if walking into a chaotic space.

Li Chenan felt a little weird in his heart.

This road came, not between the mountains.

Although there are hills suddenly appearing, most of them are still flat.

Why is there no one?
I don't know whether the large area covered by snow is a field or a wasteland.

If it is a field, how many hectares does it have?
If it is a wasteland, how much food will be produced in a year if it is reclaimed?

For the first time, he realized the sparse population of Ningguo.

In such an extremely backward era, people are the greatest productivity.

If a country wants to have a large population growth, it must first be stable.

The second is to let all the people have enough food, warm clothes, and no worries... There is no other nightlife this night, and they will naturally have babies.

But now...

Ning country is now on the brink of chaos!

There are powerful enemies on all sides, bandits everywhere, and even more vicious traitors inside.

Although the officials in Kyoto have been thoroughly washed, none of the officials in the five 72 prefectures and the counties and counties below them have been moved.

This is like a person who is sick all over his body. Although he has changed his mind, his hands and feet are still full of abscesses.

This will inevitably require a major purge across the country.

And the land in the south of the Yangtze River is the top priority of the entire Ning country.

This first knife must fall on Jiangnan.

Whether it's the rivers and lakes in the south of the Yangtze River or the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River!
Li Chenan was perfecting the plan for the trip to the south of the Yangtze River on the bumpy horseback. Xiao Baozi seemed to have gotten used to the hands tightly wrapped around his waist. She still squinted her eyes so that she could see the front more clearly.

She just felt the warmth of the man from her back. She gently waved the whip in her hand, and suddenly felt that riding a horse like this was more comfortable than riding a donkey.

Twilight falls.

A dim light appeared ahead.

It was a city at the junction of Guangling Prefecture and Pingjiang Prefecture.

It's called Wangjiang City.

When we got here, we were roughly five days away from Zhouzhuang.

Li Chenan and his party honestly paid the city entry tax and entered the city.

Five people and five horses walked slowly on the streets of Wangjiang City. Not long after, Li Chen'an saw a rather grand inn, and he was immediately amused——

It is also called Yuelai Inn!
"Just live here!"

The five people got off their horses, and Xiao Er greeted them with great enthusiasm.

"Guest officer, you have worked hard all the way!"

"What a handsome horse!"

"Guest officer, hand over the horses to the villain, and the villain promises to take good care of them!"

Saying this, he took the reins from Baozi Xiao, and shouted inside: "Miss Boss, welcome the guests!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a charming woman in her thirties rushed out of the inn with a happy expression on her face.

"Ouch, rare guest!"

"Oh, what a handsome young lady... Hurry up, please come inside, it's so cold outside, don't freeze this delicate young lady to death!"

See, big places are just different.

This should no longer be a black shop.

A group of people walked in, and suddenly felt a rush of warmth.

Li Chenan took a look at the lobby. Of course, the decoration is not elegant, but it is still grand.

In addition to the counter on one side, there are six tables in the entire lobby.

There were not many people at the moment, only two tables were seated.

In one of them six people were drinking.

At first glance, it seems that they are all from the rivers and lakes.

Because they carry swords on their backs, or they have knives on the table.

The innermost table is an exception.

There were two men sitting at that table, one old and one young.

The old man turned his back to Li Chen'an and couldn't tell his age. The young man had a fair complexion, wearing a blue cotton gown and a Confucian crown. He looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, presumably a scholar.

They had no swords on their backs, nor knives on their shoulders.

The old man was carrying a violin case on his back, presumably it was the boy's servant.

Li Chenan looked back, the proprietress was already standing behind the counter, and asked with a smile:
"My lord, there are just three upper rooms in this store. You five...what do you think?"

"Okay, how much is a room?"

"My lord, it's very cheap, only two taels of silver for a room."

Seemingly seeing the surprise on Li Chenan's face, she hurriedly said again: "Master, it's worth it!"

"We can see Xiujiang through the window in our upper room. The winter view of Xiujiang is a must!"

"In addition, the charcoal fires in our upper room are constantly burning at [-] o'clock...Young master, you can see that it is expensive. I don't know if the price of charcoal this year is not cheap."

"There is also our upper room. Hot water is available at any time. You only need to shout, and your servants will bring it to your room... If you still feel that it is not warm enough, you can add more bedding."

"Don't worry, it's all brand new."

"Look at the way you guys... come from Guangling, right? There is no one in that long stretch of the road for hundreds of miles. Don't say that people as gentle as you are, those knights in the rivers and lakes come from there. It’s exhausting to get here.”

"Two taels of silver, take a comfortable hot bath, eat good wine and good food from our kitchen, and then lie down on the warm bed... Is this young lady the son's wife?"

Xiao Baozi didn't deny it, and the landlady's tongue immediately lit up:
"Just look at it!"

"It looks like a husband and wife!"

"The young couple rolled into the quilt... Tsk tsk tsk, they really are gods!"

"No, it has surpassed the gods!"

With a slick tongue, Xiao Baozi's heart was in full bloom.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Baozi took out an ingot of ten taels of silver from his pocket.

She put it on the counter.

Her slender eyebrows raised slightly, and she said very calmly: "Just three rooms!"

He proudly added: "There is no need to look for it!"

The female boss immediately took the ingot of silver with a smile on her face, "It turns out that the young lady is in charge, it's excellent, the wealth is prosperous, the family is prosperous, and the descendants are prosperous!"

"From now on, Mrs. Young Master will surely have a family full of prosperity and blessings!"

"Madam, wait a moment..."

She turned her head and yelled at the second floor: "There are three rooms in the sky, little ones, come and take the guests up to rest!"

"Okay!"

A little girl about twelve or thirteen years old ran down the stairs, but Li Chenan suddenly asked the proprietress:
"There are mountains, rivers, fields, and land along the stretch of hundreds of miles. Why is there no human habitation?"

The proprietress looked at Li Chenan, looked around again, and then said in a low voice:

"Smoking!"

"A few years ago, the imperial court wanted someone to fight, and a guy wiped out the middle-aged men."

"Then another group of bandits came..."

"From Huangping Town to our Wangjiang City, that mountain is called Tulong Mountain!"

"In the past two years, there have been more than a hundred gangsters in that mountain!"

"In those villages, there are only young children, the old, the weak, and women. How can this stop the bandits from looting? Naturally, they all moved away."

"My lord, you guys are also lucky. Maybe it's because of the heavy snow that has blocked the mountain, otherwise... if you don't hire someone from the bodyguard bureau to escort you this way, it will be very bad luck!"

"Oh……"

Li Chenan nodded thoughtfully, and followed the little girl named Xiaobudian up to the second floor.

The young man sitting in the innermost part of the hall turned his head and looked at the backs of Li Chenan and the others.

The old man opposite him also raised his head and took a look.

Then the old and the young drank and ate vegetables as if nothing had happened.

At the other table, the six tough people from the Jianghu raised their wine glasses, looked at each other knowingly, opened their mouths wide, and drank down a bowl of wine.

His eyes lit up:
Fat sheep!

A group of fat sheep with no experience in the world!

……

Jiangbei.

At the foot of Jingning Mountain.

Ning Chuchu looked at the corpses on the ground, as well as the grain and grass of more than a hundred carriages, and those trembling carriages.

She grinned too.

"Fat sheep!"

"Chen'an is right. If you want to get rich, you really can't go the usual way!"

"Let's go, let's continue looking for Fat Sheep!"
