Liu Mingzhi stopped on the city wall and quietly looked at the situation of the mutual market outside the city, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Seeing this, Yu Chengle naturally did not dare to disturb Mr. Liu's thinking about how to deal with it. He stood aside obediently and began to think about it as well.
Maybe later, when I and the Governor discuss it together, we will come up with a way to deal with it.
When Liu Chengfeng and others saw their father and they were deep in thought, they naturally did not dare to make a fuss. Their mother had repeatedly warned them not to disturb their father when he was busy with political affairs.
The few little kids looked at each other and walked silently towards the nearby tower.
Although the officers and soldiers of Longwu Guard guarding the city were curious as to why there were so many little guys on the city wall, they all silently stood by their positions and defended the city wall motionlessly.
Many patrol officers passing by also looked at the cute little brothers and sisters curiously, but did not say anything to drive them down to the city.
The young lady who can climb the city wall openly must have an extraordinary status in Yingzhou City. Since the soldiers guarding the stairs of the city wall can let them up, they must have their own reasons.
Several people climbed up the tower. Liu Chengfeng looked enviously at the groups of Longwu Guard officers passing by him, and shook Liu Chengzhi's shoulders.
"Second brother, in the future, my eldest brother will be like my father, a majestic general, no, a grand marshal!"
"Just like your father, you can gallop on the battlefield and dominate the world!"
Liu Chengzhi couldn't help but marvel at the scene of tight guards and flying flags on the Yingzhou city wall.
However, Liu Chengzhi shook his head gently and patted Liu Chengfeng on the shoulder like a little adult: "Brother, I don't want to be a generalissimo. Have you forgotten that dad used to stand in the pavilion holding a thick roster?
Have you recited the poem? Lord Don’t laugh while you are lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times?”
"Dad said that the roster in his hand was full of brothers who had been with him through life and death. More than 70,000 people died in the wilderness like this, and many of them had no bones left."
"I don't know how many people seventy thousand people are, but I can tell that my father must have been very sad that day."
Liu Chengfeng looked at Liu Chengzhi curiously: "Then what do you want to be?"
Liu Chengzhi rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "Dandy boy, marry so many beautiful women!"
Liu Chengfeng looked at Liu Chengzhi in astonishment: "What? Dandy boy? Aren't you afraid that Mother Yun will skin you alive? How long has it been since dad hung you up and whipped you? Why is your skin itchy again?"
Liu Chengzhi shook his head resolutely: "Don't be afraid, because dad said that dudes live longer."
Liu Chengfeng scratched his head in confusion: "Why?"
"I don't understand either, but I want to live for a long, long time."
"Okay, mistress, what do you want to do?"
"I?"
Liu Chengqian looked at the eldest and second brother hesitantly: "I don't know either, let's talk about it later, I'm still young and don't want to think too much!"
"ah?"
"ah?"
The two brothers looked at Liu Chengqian in a daze: "Don't you know what you want to do?"
"I don't know. Mom said I should learn from dad, but I can't imitate dad's shameless temperament. It's a bit difficult."
"Okay, sister Yaoyao, what do you want to do?"
"Doctor, my mother said that in troubled times a good doctor is better than a good appearance. Yaoyao wants to study medicine with Grandpa Sai Huatuo."
"But these are prosperous times, not troubled times."
Liu Yaoyao pursed her lips and thought for a while: "But my mother said that maybe it won't be long before the world is in trouble, so learning medical skills can help you protect yourself."
"Mother Yun said that? How did she know? It's not like she's a nun, can she still pinch her?"
Liu Yaoyao shook her head in confusion: "Yaoyao doesn't know either, but my mother has said that the general trend is irreversible, and no one knows what will happen in the future."
Several little guys looked at each other, became confused, and looked at the little cutie lying on the city wall looking north into the distance.
"Sister Yue'er, what do you want to do when you grow up?"
"Yes, sister Yue'er, you haven't spoken since you stepped onto the tower. Are you feeling unwell?"
The little cutie shook her head silently and looked out of the city with bright eyes: "Mother Yue is here to be the first empress in the ages."
"The greatest empress of all time who is even more powerful than my mother."
Liu Yiyi covered the little cute little mouth: "Little sister, don't talk nonsense. Daddy will be in big trouble if others hear it, you know? Just blink if you understand what my sister is saying."
Liu Yiyi is indeed the oldest sister, her mind has matured a lot, and she sometimes knows how to use her brain to think.
The little cutie blinked her eyes hurriedly, Liu Yiyi let out a breath and let go of the cutie: "Sister Yue'er, mother doesn't allow me to ask you who you are, but you must remember not to bring trouble to daddy by talking nonsense. Otherwise, my sisters and brothers won’t love you, you know?”
"Yeah, yeah, Yue'er knows, sister Yiyi."
On the other hand, outside the city, Young Master Liu said something softly, and Yu Chengle nodded from time to time, indicating that he had remembered it.
"The matter of allowing merchants to move into the People's Court will be supervised by officials from your governor's office and the various state governments."
"Businessmen staying in civilian homes will have the same food, clothing, and supplies as the surrounding inns. However, the government soldiers and guards must strictly examine the character of these merchants. Fifty teams of armed guards will be added to patrol the streets to ensure that the jurisdiction of Yingzhou Prefecture is guaranteed." No one living below will be harmed."
"It is a good thing for businessmen to move into people's homes and increase people's income. I don't want to hear the news of people being killed and let a good thing turn into a funeral!"
"I'll keep this in mind."
"In addition, take my warrant and ask Fuzhou Governor Feng Yuanmao to come to the Governor's Mansion to see me, and also invite General Nangong Ye of the Flying Eagle Guard."
"The official is confused and boldly asks what does this mean?"
"The governor is extremely satisfied with the idea of expanding the mutual market you mentioned, but the expansion of the mutual market cannot continue outside Yingzhou City."
"My intention is to build a new mutual market between Yingzhou and Fuzhou, stretching for dozens of miles. This will not only relieve the pressure of overcrowded merchants in Yingzhou, but also increase Fuzhou's tax revenue."
"As the governor of the two provinces, I cannot only think about Yingzhou. Fuzhou is also under my jurisdiction, so naturally I should also take care of it."
Liu Mingzhi patted Yu Chengle's shoulder helplessly.
"Master Yu, if Yingzhou eats meat, Fuzhou must drink soup no matter what."
"You and Governor Fengyuan Maofeng are both border guards, so we should work together to advance together."
"Whether you are a person or an official, don't be so petty. You still have to be humble when you should be humble."
"As long as you do your job as governor of Yingzhou, it will only be a matter of time before you become the second class based on the current prosperity and your age."
"Eating alone is a taboo in the court. People must know how to share."
Yu Chengle looked at Young Master Liu awkwardly and nodded hurriedly with a smile: "Yes, yes, my lord is teaching you that the lower official is too short-sighted."
"I have agreed to these six items mentioned by the governor, as well as the three columns you think of. Let's do it like this. You can give the other state officials my password to give orders."
"Yes, I am resigning, my lord..."
"All stand by the city wall, otherwise I will turn you into hedgehogs."
The city suddenly became noisy, with repeated screams and the sound of swords being unsheathed.
Young Master Liu's expression changed and he looked towards the tower: "Chengfeng, Yiyi, you guys stay up there. Don't come down unless dad calls you."
Young Master Liu didn't wait for the little guys to respond and hurriedly ran towards the city. They were all using their weapons. It was definitely not a trivial matter.
Yu Chengle himself followed without hesitation. As the governor of Yingzhou, it was impossible for him to stay away.
Although Liu Chengfeng and others didn't know what was going on, they still obeyed and stayed on the tower.
The little cutie pursed her lips and looked at all the positions on the Yingzhou city wall with interest, nodding with a smile from time to time.
"Du Yu, what's going on?"
"Sir, this caravan does not obey the rules of Yingzhou City and wants to break out."
"Breaking through the barrier? Where..."
Young Master Liu was stunned when he saw Du Yu glance at him. He glanced at the flag of the caravan and realized immediately that it was the caravan under the name of the King of Shu.
This is not surprising.
Young Master Liu looked at the caravan manager and guards who were squatting in the corner of the city wall and shivering while being held up with crossbows. He glanced at the onlookers with a weird smile on his lips.
"Master Yu, you go and do your work first!"
"Yes! Ah? But this caravan that broke through the border?"
"Leave it to the governor!"
"Yes, I will resign."
After Yu Chengle left, Young Master Liu held Du Yu's shoulders and walked aside.
"If Sonaka wants to be used by this young master, he should be scolded and embarrassed. This will happen to all the caravans under the name of the King of Shu from now on. You are welcome."
"Don't be afraid of causing any trouble. In the worst case, I will apologize to you."
"You should do what I told you, and I should apologize."
"You made a mistake, and I apologize to you. I, Liu Mingzhi, am the one who is embarrassed, but it is your pockets that are fat!"
"How can you, human being, not even ask for money for a little face?"
"I should scold you and reprimand you, but I must remember one thing."
Du Yu nodded with understanding: "If you refuse to repent, you will swear to be a traitor? Determined to torment the caravan under the name of the King of Shu!"
Young Master Liu grinned and gave Du Yu a look of praise.
