Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

() content from

In the early morning sunshine, the air of Xinsuanzao Gate is fresh, and the flow of people is not too much. They enter and exit the city gate in an orderly manner. In stark contrast, the tax officials dragging their fat bodies are busy and sweaty at the gate of the city. <>

"You guys, stand on the right side of the city gate, and be alert!" The fat tax official transferred the dozen or so soldiers under him, but he still couldn't find the best solution: "Don't give me any money for a while. Disgraceful, it is the Commander Ximen of the Imperial City Division who came here!"

After the fat tax official had finished speaking, he used his stubby fingers to groom the soldiers awkwardly.

"Isn't that Commander Ximen the one who slapped the fat man last time?" A soldier whispered, "Why did you act uncharacteristically today, can't you be flattering?"

"What do you know?" The soldier next to him smiled and said, "This fat man specializes in bullying and fearing the hard, so he was calling us back and forth. The celebrity in front of the king, it's no wonder if he doesn't fawn on him!"

"Here we come!" A soldier hurried over to report to the fat tax official, "Commander is here!"

The fat tax official hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his head: "Are you reading that right?"

"How is that possible?" The soldier murmured, "The mutton fat jade pendant on the waist is very eye-catching, did you see it wrong?"

"Okay!" The fat tax official nodded, pointing his hand and said: "You guys, drive away the pedestrians and merchants, and wait for the Commander!"

The soldier whispered, "My lord, is it appropriate to do this?"

"Appropriate, why isn't it appropriate?" The fat tax official thought of the news from a black-clothed inspector yesterday, and sweated again as he spoke: "Do things and do things, do you want me to be taught by the Commander again? "

The order was passed on, and soon three or five soldiers rushed the pedestrians and merchants to both sides of the city gate.

"There is a commanding officer coming, please wait here! No one is allowed to enter or leave the city gate!"

Some merchants immediately complained: "Where did such a commander come from, such a powerful official?"

The fat tax officer heard the words, hurriedly asked someone to move a chair, climbed up tremblingly and shouted: "The Commander will be here soon, everything will be suspended! If anyone has any objections, the tax will be doubled!" "

As soon as this remark came out, those merchants were suddenly speechless.

But it was a voice floating from behind: "Then what should I do if I have an opinion?"

When the fat tax official heard this lazy voice, he jumped out of his chair in fright, but he couldn't stand still, and came directly to a gourd.

Thanks to this person's adaptability, he kowtowed on the spot and said: "The villain has seen the Commander!"

The soldiers were taken aback, some knelt down and kowtowed, and some raised their guns and were confused. Ximen Qing ignored the fat tax official who kowtowed on the ground, jumped off his horse and walked to the blocked new businessman in two steps. , sang a fat song and said: "If you disturb everyone entering and leaving the city gate, Ximen Qing will pay for it!"

After speaking, Ximen Qing ordered the soldiers to retreat, allowing pedestrians and merchants to pass as usual.

"Master Commander, didn't you order the city gates to be sealed?" A merchant asked loudly.

"Of course not." Ximen Qing coughed, "I'm just here today to welcome my family members. I've notified you in advance. I didn't expect this person."

Speaking of which, Ximen Qing pointed at the fat tax official who was lying on the ground and dared not get up: "This person is thinking about it in private, causing a lot of inconvenience to everyone!"

"So that's how it is!" The businessman suddenly realized, "Corrupt officials like this who don't do things well and only know what to do, you must be punished properly!"

Ximen Qing nodded and said, "Naturally!"

The merchant got Ximen Qing's affirmative answer, so he went there satisfied.

Seeing that it was inconvenient for the chair to be placed in the middle of the city gate, Ximen Qing asked Wu Song to move it aside, sat down carelessly, and ignored the fat tax official.

The fat tax official didn't have the words of Ximen Qing, so he didn't even have the courage to get up, kneeling in the middle of the road and trembling.

In the past, pedestrians and merchants were a little angry, so they took advantage of the chaos and punched and kicked them, spitting and so on. Everyone took a mouthful.

"It seems that this fat man is really annoying. I'm afraid he is not only exploiting the merchants in the past, but even his subordinates are also a little bit underhanded." Ximen Qing looked at the soldiers standing on both sides, and there was not even a single one who came to help in this situation. , Most of them looked up at the sky, as if they didn't see that their immediate boss was drowning in saliva.

In the end, the fat tax official couldn't bear it any longer, collapsed on the ground and passed out, Ximen Qing asked the soldiers to drag him to a cool place at the gate of the city.

Only Ximen Qing and Wu Song came to pick them up, Sun Erniang was helping Jiang Jing clean up at home, and Shi Qian must be sleeping right now.

Ximen Qing sat down and thought about it. Right now, there are a lot of things going on, so it needs to be carefully planned. Although King Jia nodded his head on the matter of brewing rights, it is a question of when it will come down; Let An Daoquan take a look at the monk's secret medicine and the five stone powder to see if there is any use value; apart from restaurants, Ximenqing also plans to develop more profitable projects, nothing more than to get the rest from the four items of wine, wealth and energy. The next three proceed.

Although there are many brothels and cottages in Bianliang City, this is a business that can make a lot of money, and Ximen Qing will naturally not let it go. Although there are some preliminary plans, there is no suitable person to operate them.

Mahjong is a common gambling tool, and Ximenqing has to find a way to slowly promote it. Of course, it will not be at the price of cabbage. The hunger sales method will still be used, and some limited editions of fine products will also be released.Other gambling tools for future generations should also be considered

Even if five thousand per year is not a small number for a leading catering company like Fenglelou, Ximenqing will not be satisfied with the annual income of several thousand.

If each project is run well, it is a day-to-day business. One hundred thousand or even a million guan is not a dream.

But there is one headache that cannot be bypassed, and that is taxes.

Ximen Qing deliberately found out that no matter whether it was drinks or brothels, heavy taxes were charged.

There must be a way to do this.

"If it's in later generations, it's fine. In this era, the officials have the final say."

Ximen Qing immediately knew where he should start

"Brother, the convoy is here!"

Wu Song excitedly raised his arm, pointing to the small black spots that were slowly advancing in the distance.

Ximen Qing jumped up and set up an awning and looked into the distance. A convoy of this size is rare in Bianliang. Needless to say, it was Xue Er and Liu Niang who came!

"Go, let's go up!"

Ximen Qing greeted, and Wu Song and the two got on their horses again, and excitedly greeted the convoy.

The people in the convoy also cheered when they saw the two horses galloping towards them.

Xue'er, Pan Jinlian, Hua Yuerong and the others got the news, they poked their heads out of the carriage one after another, and waved to Ximen Qing and Wu Song who were galloping towards them; while the prodigal son Yanqing and the scarred tiger Liu Renzhong also sat together Get off the horse and meet him in the opposite direction.

The four horses were put together, and Ximen Qing saw that although Yan Qing and Liu Renzhong looked a little tired, they were generally in good spirits. Both of them were as straight as javelins on the horse!

"Little Brother Yi, you have a heavy responsibility, you have worked hard!" Ximen Qing solemnly saluted on the horse: "It is not easy to protect all the way, thank you Ximen Qing!"

Now Yan Qing and Liu Renzhong, who were bluffing, rolled off their saddles and bowed deeply: "Your words are serious!"

Ximen Qing and Wu Song also got off their horses and helped them up, Yan Qing said: "With the two signboards of Liangshan and Huangchengsi, no one dares to provoke them along the way, but it's smooth sailing."

"Xue'er is naughty by nature, didn't she cause any trouble?"

Ximenqing asked casually, and saw some unbearable expressions on the faces of Yan Qing and Liu Renzhong.

"It's okay, okay." Scarface Tiger Liu Renzhong didn't know whether to cry or smile: "Xue'er is fine in everything else, but she often has sudden whims, which makes people hard to guard against."

After Ximen Qing asked, she found out that Xueer had a lot of troubles along the way. After setting off, she became very excited, either dawdling here or sightseeing there. I don't know how many detours she took.

Yan Qing and Liu Renzhong didn't know how much they had to talk about, and finally moved out of Ximen Qing to get Xue'er to agree to return to the main road.

Afterwards, there was nothing to talk about, and there was nothing good to do. Xue'er was so busy that she panicked, and thought of pretending to be bandits to test whether Yan Qing and Liu Renzhong were qualified for the job of guards.

"If you don't try, how will you know the situation of the convoy's guards? If you encounter bandits, you will panic!"

Seeing Xue'er's swearing, Yan Qing needless to say, Liu Renzhong came down from Liangshan in the first place, and he was considered a bandit, so the two of them didn't take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, Xue Er asked the team to rest in place for two hours, splitting up half of the team and roaring away.

When the convoy moved forward again, Yan Qing and Liu Renzhong saw that Xue'er's lips were smeared black with charcoal or something, carrying a sharpened wooden stick as a spear, leading the people to rush through the woods. When they came out and shouted "Leave the road money" solemnly, the two knew that Xue'er was serious.

And those people who were taken by Xueer covered their faces one by one, waving their whistle sticks and rushing up to cut the convoy in two, Yan Qing and Liu Renzhong rushed to the challenge as if they had just woken up from a dream .

Naturally, they wouldn't really do it twice, but Xue'er loudly blamed the two for not being vigilant enough. If they really encountered bandits, the convoy would definitely be cut off.

So this kind of exercise was held again and again, until Yan Qing and Liu Renzhong turned the convoy into a phalanx very seriously, Xueer still gave up.

Ximen Qing was overjoyed when he heard this. Although Xueer's actions seemed like a joke, they were indeed vigilant along the way.

Wu Song's reaction was to turn his back and twitch his shoulders, naturally laughing wildly.

Yan Qing and Liu Renzhong were a little embarrassed, and at this moment they heard Xue Er shout loudly: "You two, are you talking ill of me behind my back?"

The next moment, Xueer slipped into Ximenqing's arms like a bird throwing itself into the forest and said coquettishly, "Master, Xueer is all kind! Don't listen to their nonsense!"

Ximen Qing patted the little goblin's head: "Got it, got it."

Looking up, Pan Jinlian is holding Hua Yuerong, watching this scene with a smile not far away.

"It's time." Ximen Qing sighed from the bottom of his heart.
