The bottom of the pressing box is actually an ancient sex education tool. It also comes in many forms. Liu Xin is holding a bronze mirror. On the back of the bronze mirror are engraved several different postures for male and female intercourse. In fact, the bottom of the pressing box
It not only has the function of sexual enlightenment education, but also has another meaning of Qi Zi and warding off evil spirits.
Cai Yan was already so shy that she buried her head low and did not dare to raise it at all. She mumbled, "I told you not to see it, but you insist on seeing it. It's so embarrassing."
Liu Xin returned the bronze mirror to her and whispered in her ear: "Okay, okay, I won't look at it. Let's try it out according to the pattern on it tonight."
How could Cai Yan dare to answer him? He buried his head even lower. It wasn't until Liu Xin turned around to look at the calligraphy again that he raised his head. A slight smile appeared on the corner of Cai Yan's mouth, and he covered his chest tightly with his hands.
She thought to herself that it was really dangerous just now. If he were to look through it and see the sweat towel, she would really find a crack in the ground to crawl in. Cai Yan was very proud of her sudden ingenuity. If she could play chess, she would definitely do it.
She felt that her move was called losing the car to save the handsome man. Thinking of this, Cai Yan secretly decided, no, she would have to find a lock later and lock the box so that she could feel at ease. But how did she know that if Liu Xin
If you really want to see it, there really isn't any lock in the world that can stop him.
Throughout the second year of Zhongping, except for the occasional Xianbei, Xiongnu and other grassland nomads in the north who invaded the border, the Han Dynasty was relatively peaceful. The people who suffered from the Yellow Turban Rebellion were rarely able to recuperate, and the precarious court also got a chance to breathe.
.And Liu Xin understood that this was just a short calm before the storm, and he did not dare to relax at all.
After winter, another group of new soldiers were recruited into the army. They were gathered in the training center for three months of intensive training, and then they were assigned to the major legions. The original soldiers in the major legions,
Some people will also encounter elimination.
Today's military pay is quite high. Apart from the harder training, life is also quite good. Although there is no guarantee that there will be meat in the meals, the food standard is still more than one level higher than when they were at home. The most obvious change is that
, each of these soldiers is much stronger than when they first arrived at the military camp. Not only that, every time the military rank increases, the military salary will also increase accordingly. In order to avoid being eliminated, the soldiers on the school field are particularly invested in training.
.
It can be said that Liu Xin is not short of money now. After nearly two years of unremitting efforts, Xiangyang City has really been built by him into the center of the south of the Han Dynasty. Regardless of agriculture, commerce or handicrafts, it is one of the most developed cities in the south.
.This year, the industrial and commercial tax revenue of the five counties of Jingxiang has not declined due to the tax reduction policy. On the contrary, there has been a relatively large increase, accounting for one-tenth of the agricultural tax revenue. Don’t underestimate this one-tenth.
This is already a very great progress. In the past, the industrial and commercial taxes of each county were almost in a dispensable position in the entire tax system. What's more, he also controlled about 70% of the land in these five counties, and those who rented
All of them are owned by the government.
Liu Xin, who was not short of money, seemed even more generous. Not only did he increase his investment in research institutes, military equipment, etc., he also paid the annual tax to Luoyang early because he knew very well that he had to deal with such a money-loving person.
As an emperor, the best solution besides money is money.
Towards the end of the year, the market in Xiangyang seems to be more prosperous. Today, Xiangyang has become a distribution center for the exchange of goods between the north and the south. In terms of local purchasing power alone, although it cannot catch up with Luoyang, merchants traveling from south to north like to visit Xiangyang.
It is used as a transit station not only because the tax rate here is low, but also because it has an unusually stable environment.
There is no place for bandits in the five counties of Jingxiang under the control of Liu Xin. There is no need to worry about the safety of doing business here. Moreover, the government here always adheres to the principle of fairness and justice when handling business disputes.
What is even more convenient for the merchants is that unlike other places, the city gates of Xiangyang City will not be closed day or night. Except for Luoyang, no other city dares to do this. No matter how late the caravans arrive,
As long as you can get to Xiangyang, you don't have to worry about sleeping in the wilderness.
The Prefectural Mufu is also adding new children one after another, and it is very lively. There are three women in one play, and there are more women. Naturally, they also like to talk about topics that interest them. Going shopping seems to be an innate nature of women, especially in the
At the end of the year, I don’t remember who suggested it first. Anyway, Ma Yun, Bian Yu and Cai Yan couldn’t sit down in the room, so they thought of going for a walk on the street together in the afternoon to see how their husbands would conquer Xiangyang City.
How well the government is governed by the people and the people.
Hearing that they were going to the street, Liu Rui, who was playing in the yard, heard the sound and ran over, crying and arguing that she wanted to go with the ladies. Ever since Liu Xin told her, Zhu Qian did not control her as much as before.
As a result, the little girl's lively nature was further released. Although she was one year older, she became more like a child.
Liu Yu, who was just over two weeks old, had grown up like a tiger. He was now Liu Rui's little follower. Seeing that this sister was about to go out on the street, he also took Ma Yun's hand, shook it, and kept shouting: "Mother, mother."
Honey, I want to go to the streets too."
Ma Yun and Liu Xin have the same views on the issue of treating children. Neither wants to lock their children at home and constrain their nature. Although Liu Rui is not Liu Xin's biological child, she is very lovable, and Ma Yun
Of course there is no reason not to agree.
So, after lunch, the group came to the streets of Xiangyang.
Thanks to Liu Xin's vigorous development, Xiangyang City has unique conditions. The products here are complete and the prices are reasonable. Not only the locals, but also many people from neighboring counties and counties also regard Xiangyang as the first choice for purchasing new year's goods. Xiangyang is particularly popular in the twelfth lunar month.
It was lively, with crowds of people coming and going on both sides of the avenue. In the middle of the avenue, horse-drawn carriages, ox carts, and wheelbarrows came one after another. Not to mention the two children Liu Yu and Liu Rui, and even Ma Yun and Bian Yuhe who did not often go to the streets.
Cai Yan and the others also felt that everything was fresh and dizzying.
Under Liu Xin's planning, the shops in several streets in Xiangyang City each have their own characteristics. Some specialize in various production equipment, some deal in grain, oil and food, some deal in silks and satins, and some specialize in rouge, gouache, gold and silver jewelry.
Waiting for women's products. Except for a few Feihu personal guards who were on guard from a distance, Ma Yun and her party were all women and children. Naturally, they were more interested in silks, satins, rouge jewelry and other things, so they went to these items.
The time spent wandering the streets was also extra long.
After shopping all afternoon, the women didn't feel tired at all. Sisters Qiao'er, Ying'er and Ling'er followed with a few little maids, and their hands were already full. It seemed that they had gained a lot today.
It's really not small.
Liu Xin knew that they were going shopping, and Liu Yu and Liu Rui were following them. She was worried that the children would not be sure and would make a noise if they didn't like the place where Ma Yun and the others were shopping, so she specially made two candy figures.
They are all in the shape of Sun Wukong. Give each of them one, and they can hold it in their hands so that they can both look at it and eat it.
In fact, this cannot be regarded as a candy man in the true sense. It should be called a dough man more appropriately, and it is the kind carved with a knife. Liu Xin practices throwing knives, and his hands must not only have strength, but also
Liu Xin has a lot of skill. In order to develop this skill, Liu Xin has to endure a lot of hardships. There are many methods, including using a knife to carve various human and animal images from the dough. Don't underestimate this skill.
This is not a dough kneader. Although the dough is relatively soft, it is much more difficult to carve patterns on it with a knife than on radish. Probably due to a long-term lack of practice, Liu Xin obviously feels a little unwieldy and busy.
It took him noon to make two doughboys that looked somewhat similar. In order to make the two children happy, he boiled the maltose and turned it into sugar and poured it on them.
The power of the Sugar Man is indeed huge. When the two children saw something they liked, they crowded into the crowd of adults and clamored to buy it. If Ma Yun and the others did not arouse their interest in the place they were shopping, they would quietly play with themselves.
The candy man was really greedy, so he secretly took a bite. Along the way, no one felt that following these two children was a burden.
The streets where Ma Yun and the others shop are also the places where women go most often. Although it is winter now, and women wear thicker clothes, but women are everywhere regardless of season, and many dandies are attracted here every day.
The gangsters wander around the streets, often secretly stretching out their hands to eat tofu and mop themselves up when the women are unprepared.
Ma Yun and Bian Yu are both stunningly beautiful. Although they both gave birth to children half a year ago, their figures are not out of shape at all, but look more feminine. Cai Yan is also more than a month pregnant, but she wears thick clothes
, no one else can tell that she is still young as a first-time wife, and she is sweet and has a unique charm. Even the maids Qiao'er and Ying'er are also very beautiful.
When such a group of beautiful and enchanting young women and girls suddenly appeared on the street, these people's eyes lit up. Some people couldn't hold it back and couldn't wait to move closer to them. But soon, they gave up.
Bad thoughts are avoided one after another.
Although Ma Yun and the others don't show up often, everyone in Xiangyang City doesn't know that these are the women of Lord Zhou Mu. What's more, there are several tall and thick-looking, wolf-like and tiger-like strong men with cold expressions.
They followed them from a distance. Although these people were dressed in casual clothes, anyone with a discerning eye would know that they were their bodyguards. Those who have such and such ideas, no one would think that their life span is too long and find that something is wrong.
, had long since hid far away, only daring to take a sneak peek and swallow secretly.
Liu Yu is still too young and not very sensible. He only knows how to play behind Liu Rui. Liu Rui is already eight years old. It is a rare opportunity to escape from her mother's sight. She jumps and jumps on the street, and the more she plays, the crazier she gets.
