Chapter 051 Queen's Life

Xiao Furong pressed Liu Zhang's hand on the stall and shouted to the old man: "What are you doing?"

The old man looked at Liu Zhang's palm lines, pondered for a while, touched his beard and said, "Well, according to my calculations, this must be a noble young man, so he is extremely expensive."

"It's so accurate." Xiao Furong was surprised. Liu Zhang looked at her with contempt. She had brought so many followers. How could it be less expensive? But it would not disturb Xiao Furong's interest and would not be exposed.

Xiao Furong stretched out her hand and put it in front of the old man. The old man glanced at it, and his face slowly rose. He suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed: "Oh my God, girl, Quaker."

Xiao Furong was shocked by the old man's actions and asked, "What's the most expensive method?"

The old man looked at Xiao Furong's face carefully again, and his face was filled with surprise: "The girl's palm pattern is a rare phoenix pattern in the world. Her forehead shook light, and the two red birds guarded her. This is the image of her mother's conscience in the world. The girl is the queen's life."

"Emperor, Queen? Really?" Xiao Furong looked at the old man calmly, and her joy had already risen to her eyebrows.

"This old liar is really good at bragging." Liu Zhang cursed the old man in his heart, and he probably wouldn't be able to save at least five taels of silver.

Finally, the old man asked Liu Zhang for eight taels of silver and said a lot of beautiful words. He coaxed Xiao Furong to forget what his surname was, and left happily.

Xiao Furong said to Liu Zhang proudly: "You are asked to offend me, and when I become your Han Dynasty queen, I will punish you as a little yellow sect."

"Yes, Queen Jin An, we can go back now." Liu Zhang has never seen such a easy-to-deception person.

"Why are you calling me back in such a hurry?"

"Sleep."

"Huh?" Xiao Furong stared at Liu Zhang with wide eyes.

Liu Zhang: "..." He knocked Xiao Furong's head hard, "What are you thinking about? I didn't sleep all night last night, and I'm so sleepy now." Liu Zhang looked at Xiao Furong's energetic appearance, and really doubted whether the words of her son's words she didn't sleep all night were true.

After Liu Zhang and Xiao Furong left, a squeezing stall owner next to "Tianji God Calculation" smiled at the old man and said, "You have made a lot of money today."

The old man smiled proudly: "The noble man pleases the beautiful girl, one is a sucker and the other is brainless. If you don't cheat, you won't cheat. If you meet someone, you will have a share. Let's go to the tavern to have a drink later. I'll count it as mine."

In Dongcheng Yin Mansion, Yin Bai returned to the mansion and saw his father Yin Yuan and Mr. Yan in the lobby. Yin Yuan glanced at his son with a brisk and smiling face, and asked with a stern face: "How many times have you told you that you are not happy? What makes you happy like that?"

Yin Bai greeted Mr. Yan, and came to his father and said, "Dad, you don't know. Last night, I saw a lot of novel things, such as mahjong, poker, chess, checkers, and goji. It's so fun, you can't even imagine that there are more than a dozen ways to play poker..."

Before Yin Bai finished speaking, Yin Yuan became furious: "Bastard, are you just going to see these things? How can you inherit the family business in the future? I'm so angry, I'm so angry." Yin Yuan held the table and gasped, and Old Master Yan hurriedly spoke to comfort him.

Yin Bai said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, I haven't finished talking yet. I think these things are not for fun. These things are so novel. We can definitely buy goods to our business. There are chairs, pens, tables and benches that can make a lot of money. Even porcelain and cloth are twice as cheap as the market price."

"Is this true?" Yin Yuan pondered: "If this is the case, you can give it a try."

"I'll just say it." Yin Yuan smiled and said, "I found that we had misread the state governor before. In fact, the state governor is not that vicious and approachable. The reason why the Jiangzhou aristocratic tribes suffered was entirely because they didn't take the state governor seriously. Dad, the state governor has agreed that in addition to the land order and the price limit order, they will not do excessive behavior to our aristocratic tribes. We should also support the state governor..."

Before Yin Bai finished speaking, Yin Yuan slapped the table and pointed at Yin Bai and said angrily: "Are you going to piss me to death? Can you believe the official people? Especially Liu Zhang, killing Yu An in Fucheng and slaughtering the seven clans in Jiangzhou, are there any signs before? When Wang Fu killed Yu An's whole family, none of us knew what had happened.

Liu Zhang is accustomed to laughing and killing people. How could you be so confused that you believe what he comforts us? As long as we compromise with him today, he will be able to force us back tomorrow and finally force us into a desperate situation.

The land order has almost cut off the space for our aristocratic races. Do you think it can be made up for by selling a few novel things? Remember, no matter how much money you make, it is not as important as land. You can't spend all the money you make. One day the Mufu increases taxes, increases the minting, or issues new coins like Wang Mang, your money will be worthless.

Land is the foundation of the aristocratic race. Without land, you are nothing. There are four imperial examinations. Most of the opportunities for aristocratic race to become an official are squeezed out. If this continues, we will only decline. Liu Zhang is digging our foundation. You are still talking to him. Are you confused?"

Yin Bai looked at Yin Yuan's angry look and felt unconvinced, but he couldn't say anything else. He smiled and said, "Dad, happiness and anger are not reflected in his expression, and happiness and anger are not reflected in his expression."

"you……"

"Old friend, please calm your anger, calm your anger." Old Master Yan comforted Yin Yuan and sighed, "I think this matter of land order is not in a hurry. As old friend said, Liu Zhang hid a knife in his smile. If you resist in a rare tyranny, you will suffer a sudden disaster. It would be better to let these descendants cater to Liu Zhang's policies and open a business. It will do no harm to us, and also make the Muslim Mansion feel at ease with us.

I have lived at such a long age and have never seen any official who can last for a long time if he disobeys the aristocratic race. Liu Zhang will do things in a rebellious way. One day, Xichuan will be in chaos. We can just wait for the change."

Mr. Yan remembered Liu Zhang's words again: "Now is not the time to harvest rice..." It's a pity that Pang Xi is too unfamiliar.

Yin Yuan nodded in contemplation, and now he can only do this.

More than a month has passed, except for official business names, almost all the merchants of Chengdu have imported goods from Yushu Street. Ordinary people soon followed the trend. In less than a month, there were chairs and tables sold on the streets and alleys of Chengdu, and there were endless people to buy them. The three-character workshop expanded four times and the supply was in short supply.

With the pen, officials and unscrupulous scholars threw their brushes aside. The articles that were written in an hour on weekdays were now completed in one stick of incense, which greatly improved the efficiency of officials' work and the output of articles. With mahjong and poker in the casino, business suddenly rose sharply.

What makes the people happiest is that although the quality of daily items such as cloth and soap beans is slightly worse, the price is more than twice as low as before, and the cost of living is greatly reduced.

Faced with such an attractive price, although foreign merchants were resistant to Yizhou, they couldn't help but come to purchase goods. The endless orders allowed the official workshops to expand rapidly, and the types increased from ten to more than thirty, covering almost all aspects of the daily lives of the people. At the same time, assembly line workshops opened by aristocratic families and wealthy families were erected like mushrooms after a rain.

Low prices and relatively expensive wages for farming, the lower-class people led by Yushu Street began to get rid of poverty, Chengdu was even more prosperous, and capitalism was emerging.

There are still a few days when the four imperial examinations in Chengdu were held. The testimonies (martial artsman, craftsman, doctor and scholar, just call them) that came one after another flooded into Chengdu City.

Gan Ning passed the way and came to Chengdu in gorgeous clothes, with an extremely arrogant attitude.

Aguda silently prayed at the gate of the city that Chengdu was like Jiangzhou, and he must not test his Chinese characters.

Only Zhang Zhongjing and Zhou Buyi looked down and looked down. Zhou Buyi glanced at Zhang Zhongjing from time to time, angry that he would not fight for his misfortune.

He didn't expect that Zhang Zhongjing, who was already so stupid, would treat a peasant woman who fainted in the field in Fucheng. In the end, he would pay the patient money and spend all the travel expenses paid by Jiangzhou. He was not allowed to cheat people and earn money by himself, so that the two of them almost made a fuss to Chengdu.
