Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The officials wanted to entertain Guo Shao, but he refused. [More good-looking novels are on the Internet] Guo Shao is not keen on such occasions, and he used to go to local festivals for entertainment; but now he does not need to give to the subordinates Officials can choose their own preferences.

A group of four left the armor-building workshop on horseback, and soon saw a town without walls. From a distance, it looks like a tent set up by an army here, a large area of ​​simple houses.

But when Guo Shao and others approached, they saw that the dirt road was very lively, with many people selling things, wine shops, and stalls. There were also businessmen on the street, and a group of people shouted: "Okay! Okay..." It was noisy. The officials with tall hats and soap boots were also watching. The official shop of Kaifeng Mansion had been set up here.

In the farming era, apart from cities, there were few cities and towns with concentrated populations. The population was scattered everywhere, and most people lived on farming. So these places are relatively rare.

Fu Jinzhan looked at the surrounding scene with interest, looking very happy at this time. In Guo Shao's opinion, it was an ordinary place, but it was very novel and interesting to her. Obviously, people like Fu Jinzhan would not go out shopping.

Guo Shao led the horse and walked side by side with her, and said casually: "This was originally a barren land and cropland, a market that suddenly appeared in a few months. There are officials, craftsmen and handymen in the armor workshop. These people can get money from the court. , But they won’t go farming anymore; they need money to buy food, clothing, housing, and transportation. This is how the market is driven. The money we get back from Shu not only feeds officials and soldiers. If handicrafts and commerce continue to develop, they will Bring prosperity to the world."

Fu Jinzhan listened to Guo Shao’s description, turned his eyes slightly, and said in a softly rhythmic voice: “Officials always suggest encouraging farming to reduce hunger. So many people no longer farm, but they have to rely on farmers for food and clothing. Farming."

Guo Shaodao: "The courtiers have different ideas, and they didn't make a mistake in writing like this."

"Concept...I want to hear your concept." Fu Jinzhan smiled.

Guo Shao thought for a while: "Unless farming is too labor-intensive, the number of people engaged in farming will not affect grain output. The factors that determine grain output are the area of ​​arable land and yield per mu. No matter what people are doing, they have to eat and consume. The weight of grain will probably not change.

If natural disasters and man-made disasters are not considered, part of not farming will not affect the hunger and cold of the people; on the contrary, these people engaged in handicraft businesses will also create value, create tools, better goods, and provide convenient services. Better tools and labor methods will feed back farm output. "

Fu Jinzhan said: "Since ancient times, it has been heavy agriculture and light business. Guo...husband's statement is a bit strange." When she called out the word husband, her voice became smaller and her face flushed.

Guo Shaodao: "The food is not enough. What should be managed on the cultivated land. The commercial interest stimulus may cause problems such as people using the good land to grow mulberry trees to make silk... A vigorous and promising civilization is expansive. If we don’t have enough food, but the armed forces and society are advanced, we can expand outward to obtain food imports or occupy arable land elsewhere."

He added: "There is no such thing as'the Zhumen's wine and meat are smelly and the road has frozen bones' in the Tang poetry. If the Zhumen's extra food is not wasted in storage and banquets, it can be traded in exchange for other enjoyment, and commercial development may also be possible. Use resources more efficiently.

Ancient ancestors had coins for a long time, and they used shells as copper coins at the beginning. It is to trade, exchange what you don't use for useful things; each take the rich materials needed to reduce poverty and prosper the economy. "

Fu Jinzhan thoughtfully nodded his head slightly: "My husband...what makes sense, think about it."

"If I come to suggest a national policy, I will use Keynes... the mercantilism under the imperial decree to restrict the use of fertile fertile land, expand externally, and open up the trading market." Guo Shaodao.

He thought for a while and said: "I will write a letter, and I must explicitly prohibit practices that restrict women’s freedom, such as tying feet. If women can also do things, their human resources will increase even more to compensate for the losses caused by leaving the land. Men’s farming and women’s weaving are out of fashion. The value of women’s weaving is too small. A large-scale workshop can be used to replace the textile industry like a nail workshop. A few people can satisfy many people's clothing and warmth. "

Fu Jinzhan listened patiently to Guo Shao Xiqi's remarks. Although he might be unconventional, his explanation was simpler and more straightforward. The simpler the more easily accepted.

However, when Guo Shao spoke, he was still paying attention to Fu Jinzhan's reaction, and she covered her forehead with the palm of her hand. When Guo Shao saw this, he looked up and found that the sun was almost reaching the middle of the sky, and he said, "Is the second sister hungry? Let's find a place to eat."

"Here to eat?" Fu Jinzhan frowned as he looked at the dusty dirt roads and simple houses. "Isn't it clean?"

Guo Shao said, "Let's find a place that is a little bit off."

They walked between the streets and lanes between the houses for a while, and found that there was no such noisy here, and they were surrounded by people’s houses. Guo Shao saw a small food shop with a steamer outside, and said with a smile: “Just try it here, rest assured, this kind of shop is generally okay. The surrounding residents are relatively fixed and they do business with acquaintances; and they are usually families. In the shop, people who have been hungry know how to cherish food, and they will cook it carefully."

"Then give it a try." Fu Jinzhan said with a strange expression after hearing it, "I have never eaten outside."

As soon as I walked in, I saw a young lady by the stove and was stunned there, peeking at Fu Jinzhan. The middle-aged man with the spoon hurriedly shouted: "Here is a guest!"

A boy and a half took a linen cloth and wiped it on the table, and looked at Guo Shao and others curiously: "Sit down, what do you want to eat?" Guo Shao took out a small string of copper coins, "Take your eyes and show me Hit the horse that is tied outside."

"Okay, good!" The boy was overjoyed when he saw Guo Shao's generous move. Generally, no one dares to steal that kind of horse. Military horse... In the suburbs of Tokyo, stealing a military horse would be more deadly.

It was not before noon, and it seemed that the business at noon was not very good, there were no other guests here. Lu Chengyong and the others sat down at a wooden table at the door, looking a little bit fierce and not as kind as Guo Shao's "couple", and the store did not dare to talk to them.

Guo Shao looked around and found that there is no such thing as a menu. Whether the store will write a menu is hard to say. Sure enough, the middle-aged man said: "They are all here, there are steamed vegetables outside, and the things that are often eaten at home. Tell me, most of them will make them."

"What is the store's best signature dish?" Guo Shao asked with a smile.

"Chaos (wonton), soup cake." The man replied.

Guo Shao turned his head and asked Fu Jinzhan: "How about we eat Chaos?" Fu Jinzhan nodded gently: "Fine."

"Come to two bowls of chaos." Guo Shao shouted, he ignored Dong Er and the others, they knew what they called food. At this time, three more men in linen clothes came in and asked for soup cakes.

Guo Shao leaned over and whispered to Fu Jinzhan, "Do you know Luo Mengzi? My beloved brother."

Fu Jinzhan smiled and looked at Guo Shao: "I've heard of it."

"Luo Mengzi's wife has a nickname." Guo Shao said with a smile, "It's called Tangbing Xishi. She used to sell soup cakes in Tokyo."

After hearing this, Fu Jinzhan hid his mouth and laughed.

Not long after, the kid came up with two thick bowls, put them on the table and said, "You eat slowly."

Fu Jinzhan picked up the spoon and stirred it in it. Guo Shao directly scooped it into his mouth and said, "Well, the taste is not bad, there are shrimps, and the filling is lamb. It's a little bit lighter."

The middle-aged man said: "Salt is expensive, everyone's mouth is light."

Seeing Guo Shao chewing with gusto, Fu Jinzhan scooped one out, put it to his mouth, and took a bite. The red|moistened and clean lips are very beautiful, and the pearl powder on them is still shining. Guo Shao saw it, his appetite increased, Xili snored and ate. Fu Jinzhan ran so far with Guo Shao, maybe he was hungry, first he was cautious, and then he ate a lot.

After lunch, Fu Jinzhan took the initiative to say: "I want to go to the temple."

The sun was getting stronger and stronger, so Guo Shao went to the market with her and spent two cents to buy a hand-woven straw hat to wear her shade. Fu Jinzhan was very happy, smiling on his head. The appearance is nondescript. Although she is wearing a very ordinary robe with a lapel, the silk is cut very finely, and the straw hat on her head is very unmatched.

"I think of a place." Guo Shao led her northward and returned to Tokyo from the post road.

After entering the city, he did not go to the Daxiangguo Temple, which was most sought after by dignitaries and nobles, but went to a Taoist temple with the three words "Yuzhenguan". Fu Jinzhan took a look and said, "This name, Jingniang's Taoist temple?"

"It turns out that the'Second Sister' also knows." Guo Shao was slightly surprised, and Fu Jinzhan's ears and eyes were still very good.

The main hall of this Taoist temple...The structure is a bit like a Buddhist temple, the incense is very strong, the courtyard is full of incense ash, and Taoist priests also sell incense candles at high prices. In the hot afternoon, many pilgrims still bowed down and worshipped a statue of **** in it. Taoist priests are all women, and pilgrims are mostly older women.

"Thank the Queen~www.readwn.com~ Thank God, the Queen is omnipotent..." A chanting voice came from afar. Fu Jinzhan stared at all this with wide eyes.

"Donor, you can ask for a blessing, get it in front of the queen mother and ask for a wish, it is very spiritual." A female Taoist priest held the ceremony next to him, "Protecting peace, full of marriage..."

Fu Jinzhan said cheerfully: "You give me one."

Female Taoist: "Ten Wen."

Guo Shao gave the money, and Fu Jinzhan held the red triangle bag with a red thread tied on it, looking over and over. She looked up at the statue of the **** in the hall, the surrounding futon was full of people kneeling, and the pilgrims were very attentive in chanting. Someone was vaguely saying: "Bless our whole family is peaceful, no disease or pain..."

Fu Jinzhan couldn't find a place, so he had to stand there, holding the match in his palm, and standing for a long time with his eyes closed. On her beautiful face, the eyelashes were trembling slightly, and she prayed silently and reverently.

Guo Shao stupefied to see Yulian a few years ago, and quietly sent the match, in the same Taoist temple. She is so religious too.
