Before Yang Xuan came, the town of Taiping County was lifeless. Every day they were either fighting and killing people or cheating and abducting people. But there were many criminals in the city. How much money could one get from cheating and kidnapping every day? It was better than nothing.
"Fu Fu, Fu Fu from Chang'an."
“Taoxian’s Lengtao, Xianggong Huang said he liked it after eating it!”
There are more mobile vendors in Taiping City. They are either carrying burdens or bamboo baskets, walking in the streets and alleys, shouting loudly.
"This is vitality." Yang Xuan felt a little comfortable and had a sense of accomplishment.
This sinful city is constantly changing because of his arrival.
"Boar meat is for sale!"
"Lin'an's pig meat is a good choice even if you eat it!"
There was a burden ahead, and Chang Sanniang stood behind the burden and shouted loudly.
There was a lot of pig meat in the load. Although pig meat was fishy, people could not afford mutton. If they wanted to eat meat, they could only eat this.
The old thief's eyes became much gentler and he coughed dryly.
Chang Sanniang never squints her eyes.
"Ahem!"
"Ahem!"
"Cough cough cough!"
Yang Xuan frowned, "Caught a cold?"
"No, I just have a itchy throat."
Zhen Siwen came in a hurry, "Ming Mansion, we have a guest."
"Which side?"
"I don't know, Magistrate Cao County didn't say anything."
When they arrived at the county house, Cao Ying came over and whispered: "The emperor's uncle sent someone here."
"oh!"
"It's a woman."
Yang Xuan entered the lobby and saw a tall girl sitting inside. The girl looked up, with a charming face, and spoke, and her soft voice made people's hearts skip a beat.
"But Yang Ming's Mansion?"
"it's me."
Yang Xuan sat down.
"Nu Helianyan, the emperor's uncle's niece."
This is the meaning of my own people, and it also has a bit of a secret code.
"I haven't seen my uncle for a long time. I wonder how he is in good health?" Yang Xuan said with emotion: "My uncle is worried about the people of Tanzhou. I don't know how the canal is being repaired."
He Lianyan smiled slightly. Although she was a girl, her charming aura made people's hearts flutter. "The water conservancy project is progressing quite smoothly, but the emperor has many things to do and doesn't pay much attention to it."
Comrade!
Yang Xuan asked: "Uncle Huang, do you have something to say?"
He Lianyan raised her arm and gently smoothed the hair that fell on the side of her face. Half of her arm was exposed, and it was as white and tender as jade.
"The emperor said that the Northern Liao Dynasty and the Song Dynasty were all closely related, and the sufferings of the soldiers and people of Tanzhou were remembered by the Ming Dynasty. I wonder if the Ming Dynasty had a way to save the people from hanging upside down?"
Helianyan looked at Yang Xuan curiously.
Her father was also from the royal family. He was ambitious and wanted to rebel. He was suppressed by the late emperor, He Lianfeng's father, and almost all the family was killed. When he finally saw her as an infant, He Lianfeng suddenly felt some compassion.
Thinking of leaving a seed for her, he left her to He Lianchun to raise.
When she grew up, because of her charming aura, He Lianchun once lamented that if her surname was not Helian, she would be able to confuse the king if she was sent to the palace. But she knew that she must have a solid foundation, so she began to learn how to do business.
Within a few years, her clever tricks gave He Lianchun many surprises, and he later let her take charge of his confidential affairs.
This kind of treatment can be called a confidant's confidant. But He Lianyan knew that this was because he had no relatives or friends.
She had been in charge of business and confidential matters in Ningxing, and she was quite curious about being recruited to Tanzhou by He Lianchun this time. After seeing He Lianchun's water conservancy project in Tanzhou, she couldn't help but praise it and said that it was such a way to make money.
It can be said that he is an unparalleled counselor.
The emperor's uncle said that this was the trick of Yang Xuan, the magistrate of Taiping County, which made her even more curious.
It is difficult to make money in business, and there are profits and losses. But there is no distinction between good and bad when it comes to scrapping the land. As long as you are a human being, you can't run away.
The emperor's uncle was very good at scraping the ground this time, and he was full of praise for the young magistrate in front of him, so he asked her to come.
Yang Xuan was startled.
He Lianchun's words were clearly saying: Hey! Boy, do you still have a way to scrape the land?
But why should I give it to you?
Yang Xuan raised his eyes and looked at He Lianyan.
The corners of He Lianyan's lips raised slightly, wondering if this person didn't know what the emperor's uncle meant?
Yang Xuan suddenly asked: "Uncle, did you gain a lot this time?"
He Lianyan nodded, "It's quite a lot."
He is indeed greedy!
Yang Xuan wished that He Lianchun would turn Tanzhou into ashes, but he knew that if He Lianchun made people angry in Tanzhou, Helianfeng would definitely replace him.
When the time comes for another ruthless person, Chenzhou and Taiping may no longer have a stable life.
He Lianyan's red lips parted slightly, "Ning Xing's anger is still there."
After the last defeat, He Lianfeng must find a way to regain his position.
"Tanzhou has great potential." Yang Xuan set the tone. Seeing the corners of Yelu Yu's mouth slightly raised, he couldn't help feeling that his family was the most ruthless in poaching his own family.
"But we can't do this again and again, otherwise Ningxing's thunder will come to Tanzhou sooner or later."
"Uncle Huang doesn't care about this."
hehe!
This bitch doesn't even care about her future for money.
"It's better if the water flows slowly!" Yang Xuan raised his eyebrows.
He Lianyan smiled charmingly and said, "I prefer the roaring water."
"Xiao Xuanzi, soak her in yellow urine to wake her up!" Suzaku was furious.
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "I also have a surging river here, which stretches endlessly. I wonder if the emperor is interested in it?"
He Lianyan nodded, "Uncle the Emperor will not treat his own people badly."
hehe!
That shameless old guy, everyone in the Vashe tribe wished they could cut a hole in his fat belly, insert a wick, and light up a sky lantern for him.
But reversing the great cause requires a huge amount of money and a safe peace, so we must make peace with Helian Chunxu.
This charming woman came just in time!
Yang Xuan raised his head and said, "Old thief."
The old thief stepped forward and stood with his hands tied.
"Go and get the medicinal materials I brought back this time, that is, the wooden box."
"yes."
What medicinal materials?
He Lianyan was quite curious. She raised her glass to her lips, covered most of her pretty face with her long sleeves, and glanced at Yang Xuan.
Old God Yang Xuan was sitting there.
The old thief brought a wooden box. He Lianyan took a look and asked, "A wooden box made of sandalwood?"
He is an expert!
Yang Xuan nodded and pointed at He Lianyan.
The old thief placed the wooden box on the desk in front of He Lianyan.
Helianyan looked down.
There are words on it.
She couldn't help but chant softly.
"Rejuvenation Pill, it's good for her, and it's good for you too."
She glanced at Yang Xuan, who said lightly: "Open it and take a look."
This is not Bao Dong's rejuvenation pill. This time he went back and asked Zhou Ning to get a prescription. Zhou Ning almost got angry because of this prescription. Fortunately, he told Taiping how miserable he was, and he was waiting for a man's business to save his life.
, Zhou Ning was willing to take action.
He Lianyan opened the wooden box, and a pleasant smell of medicine came to her face.
The pills were not big, so she picked up one, smelled it, squeezed it, and asked, "What does this rejuvenation pill do?"
Yang Xuan pointed to the wooden box, "It's good for her, and it's good for you too."
But I am a woman... He Lianyan was startled, and then thought that He Lianchun often lamented that he was old, always sleeping in the study and refusing to go to the backyard when he had nothing to do.
"Does Madam Helian know the secret of how the emperors of the Chen Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty could still make women give birth to children when they were sixty or seventy years old?"
He Lianyan shook his head, his curiosity doubled.
"This medicine is a secret recipe in the palace." Yang Xuanxiao said cautiously, "It was passed down from the Chen State to the Tang Dynasty. After a man takes it, he becomes vigorous and energetic, and would rather break than bend."
Only then did Helianyan understand, "How effective is the medicine?"
This is the Rejuvenation Pill! Yang Xuan said calmly: "Whoever uses it knows."
Helianyan asked again: "How many can there be every year?"
She will naturally verify the efficacy, but productivity is the key.
Of course it's up to you... Yang Xuan sighed, "The three herbs in this recipe are quite precious. It's not easy to pick and process them."
Helianyan smiled sweetly, "Maybe I can find those medicinal materials."
This is a recipe.
Yang Xuan looked at her and said with a half-smile, "Fangzi passed it down from son to son, but not from daughter to daughter."
Helianyan stretched out her voice charmingly, "How about Yang Ming Mansion take a look at me?"
hehe!
Yang Xuan glanced outside. When Zhang Siniang heard this, she looked at He Lianyan with more disdain.
Yang Xuan looked at her and said with a half-smile, "Is Madam Helian still willing to condescend?"
"Call daddy!" Suzaku said the next words for him.
He Lianyan narrowed her eyes and smiled more and more charmingly, "If I scream, can you really agree?"
This witch... Yang Xuan laughed, "Change a place."
"On the bed!" The green light flashed.
The two seemed to be playing tricks, but in fact they were exploring each other's depths.
This person would rather break than bend... He Lianyan stood up and said, "Let me go back and give it a try."
"Why bother looking far away from the near? Xiao Xuanzi is the best cauldron!" Suzaku's driving skills became increasingly rough.
Yang Xuan got up and sent her out.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a person rushing over like flying.
"Protect Mingfu!"
Jiang Zhen didn't know what he was thinking, but at this moment he rushed in front of Yang Xuan and kicked him away.
Boom!
The visitor was kicked down by him, and he shouted to himself: "Mingfu, it's done, it's done!"
When Yang Xuan saw that it was grain seeds, he shouted: "Shut up!"
He Lianyan smiled, thinking that this man was really a cruel official, no wonder he was determined, "In that case, I will go."
"Walk slowly." Yang Xuan watched her go away, turned around and patted Jiang Zhen on the shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Zhen returned to his place in a daze.
Why would I pounce?
Gu Zhong over there was so excited that he couldn't help himself, "It's done, Ming Mansion, as soon as it comes out, it will be wrought iron. If the Ministry of Industry gets this idea, it will definitely go crazy."
Yang Xuan slowly sat down.
Gu Zhong was startled, and Yang Xuan said, "Whose are you?"
Gu Zhong was so blessed that he knelt down and said, "The villain is a member of the Ming Palace. The Ming Palace tells the villain to go east, but the villain will never go west. The villain's life and death are in the hands of the Ming Palace."
Yang Xuan nodded, "Do it well and go ahead."
Gu Zhong resigned, thinking that I was really stupid. The officials in the Ministry of Industry were greedy, and if I reported this method, they would most likely be robbed of their credit. Besides, this method came from the Ming Dynasty, how could I overstep it?
Outside the door, the old thief smiled at him, very kindly.
"Let's go!"
"yes!"
The old thief watched him go away and sighed: "He is a good man."
Wang Laoer said dissatisfied: "Old thief, you just asked me to kill him at night."
The old thief said: "What do you know? By the way, I'm going out for a walk, and you can watch the door for me."
The old thief wandered all the way to the city.
"Wild pig meat, fresh pig meat."
Chang Sanniang set up a wooden board between the two baskets as a chopping board, on which was placed the remaining ten kilograms of pig meat. She was fanning it with a cattail leaf fan, and occasionally the flies fell down and were blown up by the wind.
When they fell together, it was like a lonely alley in the afternoon, empty.
"How to sell pig meat?" the old thief asked, pretending to be a customer.
Chang Sanniang raised her head, with a hint of coldness in her eyes, "One dollar and a half catty."
The price is not cheap, but compared to mutton, it is a popular commodity.
"How much do you want?" Chang Sanniang glanced at a pair of short guns placed in the basket.
"Come on two pounds."
"I can't ask for your money."
"Then we won't look for it." The old thief said boldly.
Chang Sanniang sneered, and the old thief quickly added, "Next time, it will be counted as well."
"Fat or skinny?"
"Fat and thin."
Boom!
Chang Sanniang stabbed it down, weighed it, poked a hole in the top of the meat with the tip of the knife, put a few dry straws through it, tied a knot, and handed it to the old thief.
The old thief took the meat and squatted beside her to chat with her.
"Where do you live from?"
"Why do the men in the family ask you to come out to do things?"
"Is this pig meat easy to sell?"
He asked, but Chang Sanniang didn't answer, as if she was talking to herself.
The old thief hung around her stall for a while. As the partner of a big boss in the porcelain industry, Chang Sanniang naturally saw that something was wrong with this old thief, but she just kept a cold face.
"I'll come back later."
The old thief carried the pig meat back and stamped his feet when he entered the county house.
"I should change into new clothes."
The pig meat was taken to the backyard. Yi Niang was surprised when she saw it, "This old thief still knows how to buy vegetables? It's just that the pig meat tastes fishy and not delicious."
The old thief said: "The second dick can be eaten."
At dinner, Wang Laoer had a larger bowl of pig meat than anyone else.
"The taste is not very good." Cao Ying felt that pig meat was not a gentleman's dish.
"It's delicious." Wang Laoer smiled happily after eating.
This kid most likely thinks that meat is the most beautiful food in the world, which is exactly the same as Mr. Xin on the stage.
Everyone's appetites whetted just by watching him eat.
After dinner, Yang Xuan and Cao Ying talked under the big tree.
"He Lianchun is too greedy, but Helian Yan seems to be confident. What is behind her confidence?" Yang Xuan was thinking about this.
"Bei Liao sends troops to Chenzhou?" Cao Ying has been paying close attention to the disturbances in the north recently, and is worried about Bei Liao retaliating.
"If Bei Liao wants to send troops, it is also to send troops to Xuanzhou. It is not cost-effective to directly seek revenge in Tao County or Chenzhou, even if it is captured."
"The Three Major Ministries." Yang Xuan patted the tree trunk, "The crops in Chenzhou are growing well this year. If the Three Major Ministries destroy these crops, it will be a blow to the morale of the military and the people.
He Lianchun means that if I give him another good idea to make money, he will let him know in advance. If not, then Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao."
Cao Ying frowned, "There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days."
"Yes." Yang Xuan nodded, "He Lianchun holds the three major departments. Taiping County is like a man. If he grabs Taiping, he will pinch Taiping and it will be extremely painful."
"Fortunately, he just wants benefits, Mr. Lang. I don't want to let the child catch the wolf, so give him more rejuvenation pills." Cao Ying thinks this is nothing, "Although we have lost a lot, as long as we can survive the autumn,
Next year will be different.
The Taiping Army has been training hard recently, and in just half a year, I swear, this Taiping Army will give the Vachers a huge surprise. But before that, we still need to be patient."
Yang Xuan looked at him, "Why do you have to endure it?"
"But we can't resist the full-scale attack of the Vashe tribe."
"Peace of mind."
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "When He Lianchun takes the rejuvenation pill, he will be more worried about Taiping's safety than anyone else."
Cao Ying was startled, "Is it so effective?"
Yang Xuan said: "Whoever uses it knows."
Cao Ying said subconsciously: "I'll try it?"
Yang Xuan looked at him and said for a long time: "Okay."
Zhou Ning said he couldn't take this medicine. At that time, his pretty face turned red, which made Yang Xuan thoughtful.
If young people can't eat it, it should be fine for old people, right?
That night.
"hot!"
"heat!"
Cao Ying felt hot all over her body. She sat up and touched her forehead, wondering if it was because the weather was too hot. But it was just early summer, so it couldn't be!
Her body was getting hotter and hotter, and Cao Ying finally couldn't help it, so she got up and went out.
Take a bath?
Cao Ying thinks it is a good idea.
He quietly opened the door and went out, carefully walking towards the well step by step.
The moonlight was dim and the sight was not very good.
When passing a big tree, Cao Ying gave her a hand.
A trembling thing suddenly stabbed from the other side.
"It's me!"
The soft sword trembled in front of his neck. The person who turned behind the tree was Yi Niang. When she saw that it was Cao Ying, she sheathed the soft sword.
"What are you doing out at night?" Ever since a thief came into Yang Xuan's room, Yi Niang became even more alert at night.
Of course, Cao Ying couldn't say it was because of the heat all over her body, "I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk."
"ill!"
Yi Niang went back, and Cao Ying went to the well and took a cold shower to feel comfortable.
