Qing Palace: Biography of Concubine Shu

Chapter 844

On the canal going south, the imperial boat team was sailing slowly. Every time it docked at a pier, Kangxi would send people down for a walk. The prefects even got the news in advance and cleaned up the county seat early.

Kangxi dispatched Tu Lichen's people as secret agents, and each time they arrived at the county town half a month in advance, they sent a lot of news.

Following the news, Kangxi was very annoyed. These people were obviously perfunctory. In some places, the harvest last year was not good. It can be said that the food and prices in the county are very high, which made many people complain. .

"Master, I'm going to the county seat tomorrow. Lord Long Live proposed that you take Side Fujin with you." Su Peisheng got the news from Li Dequan and rushed back immediately.

Shu Yun blinked and stared at Yinzhen. They had been on the boat for a month, and since they switched to buying in the mansion, the cost has really been reduced a lot.

Yinzhen smiled coldly and said: "Huang Ama is giving the exam questions to the princes. This time, the situation in the county is probably really unstable."

The people at the sticky pole sent some news, saying that the situation here is a little unstable, and there may be some riots.

"Bayan, tomorrow we will secretly send people into the city first to see the situation, and when the carriage enters, keep them away from the carriage." Yinzhen made arrangements in advance.

At the previous stop, Yinzhen and Jiufujin went to investigate the county seat. Yinzhen's violent temper almost caused a fight with the officials in the city. The officials did not expect that the prince would pretend to be a wealthy businessman, with an arrogant face, and even a look of arrogance. The haughty expression made Yinzhen very annoyed.

"Hey." Bayan listened to Yinzhen's arrangement and left immediately.

Shu Yun sat beside Yinzhen, his small face wrinkled.

"Master, let's bring more coins tomorrow. Jiufujin mentioned that she almost lost her purse when she went out last time." Shu Yun said beside him.

Just after Mao's time, all the imperial ships were docked at the pier, Yinzhen and Shu Yun changed into the clothes of the rich young master and young lady, and brought the servants for a private visit.

Kangxi sent Tu Lichen to follow him personally. Yinzhen is a person who does not tolerate fools in his eyes, and he is likely to conflict with those people.

When the carriage drove to the gate of the city, Yinzhen found that the gate was still closed, and some traders who wanted to enter the city to do business sat on both sides of the road as usual.

Shu Yun leaned on the cushion, looking at the scenery outside, feeling very surprised.

"Master, what's the matter?" Shu Yun was very surprised, "Should we start doing business now?"

On the way to the south, Shu Yun would often follow Yinzhen into the city early. As soon as they docked at the pier, the two of them would go out in modest clothes. Just after Maoshi, it happened to be the most prosperous time for the early morning stalls.

Yinzhen shook his head and looked outside.

"Bayan, go and ask, what's going on?" Yinzhen was very surprised by this matter, and Fu Yin didn't open the city gate.

Later, Bayan came back with the news. It turned out that Fu Yin received the news that Kangxi would arrive at the pier at Yinshi today. He ordered people to clean up the county seat overnight. Now, the county seat has not been completely cleaned up. When he came out, his mind was of course in a state of disarray.

"Wait." Yinzhen sneered.

Hug Buddha's feet temporarily!
Seeing the way Yinzhen looked at her, Shu Yun couldn't help sticking out her tongue, although she also likes to hold Buddha's feet temporarily.

"Master, when are we going to wait?" Shu Yun was still hungry.

"It should be soon." Yinzhen believed that Fu Yin was not stupid, and when he received the order, he should be informed when the princes would usually show up.

If Yinzhen hadn't been dispatched today, if other princes showed up, there would definitely not be similar problems.

Half an hour later, the city gate slowly opened, and the soldiers stood on both sides of the city gate, and began to check the luggage of the people entering the city.

After nearly an hour of tossing around, the carriage entered the county seat, and Su Peisheng even told Yinzhen that they had paid five taels of entry fee for the carriage.

Entrance fee? !

After Shu Yun heard this, his almond eyes widened. On the way down from the southern tour, he had never heard of anyone who would pay the entry fee.

In the small county in front of me, such a strange fee can be imagined. Where is this money placed?
"Let someone go find out what the entry fee is for." Yinzhen sent people around him to find out, and it was bound to find out the situation clearly.

In the teahouse in the county seat, Yinzhen had asked people to reserve a private room early on. Here, since the second quarter of the [-]th, there has been storytelling. Some rich young masters will often go out with their favorite female relatives to listen to books.

After entering the private room, Shu Yun relaxed. When she went upstairs, she could feel some unkind eyes. Those people had been staring at her skirt.

She was wearing a pair of special shoes, those people would definitely not be able to find out, in order to hide Yinzhen's identity, she had to choose to do so.

When everyone saw her special shoes, the eyes disappeared.

"Master, there are really quite a few people on the first floor, and those people seem to have come here to stare." After Shu Yun sat down, he said to Yinzhen.

Yinzhen knew it well, if it wasn't for Shu Yun's specially made shoes, it would take a long time for him to talk, and his side would be exposed.

"Yeah." Yinzhen nodded, "Remember, don't talk too much about this matter, if a female family member asks, you just say to cover your feet with a long skirt."

Yinzhen looked out the window, waiting for Bayan's subordinates to report the situation. In the county, there is a Yuelai Inn, which seems to be the inn founded by Shu Yun. Everyone knows that behind this inn is the With fourth master.

"Master, the servants sent by the servants have returned." Bayan walked in from the outside, followed by a servant who was about the same age as him.

The guard knelt on the ground and told the situation in the city in detail.

It turns out that everyone in the city has to pay the entry fee. Although these fees are included in the tax, the governor said that every year, the taxes here cannot be paid on time. This fee should be paid by the governor. left.

"How is the entry fee collected?" Yinzhen looked at the guards indifferently.

"As long as it is a carriage, it is five taels. Those who transport goods will pay 20 taels a month as the entrance fee, and there will be a certificate, so there is no need to collect it every time they enter the city." The guard directly replied.

Shu Yun burst out laughing happily, competing with the monthly pass.

"Little boy." Yinzhen looked at Shu Yun helplessly, if ordinary people came to do business, such an entrance fee would probably increase their expenses.

"The things sold in the city are extremely expensive. Those small traders would rather rent a house in the city." The guard told Yinzhen.
