In the evening, when the heat has gone a little, the city is lively again, the people who go out to enjoy the cool walk, the literati who have nothing to do, the wealthy gentlemen who look for flowers and willows, and the farmers who hurry back to the city at sunset, the traffic comes and goes.

Of course, the most lively is not the merchants on both sides of the street, the Ming army Dajie Putian Tonghe Qinglou and the wine shop have the best business, with the victory of the soldiers, tens of thousands of big-headed soldiers with silver rewards have become the hearts of the merchants, have resorted to various tricks to attract these Kaizi to come to consume.

In particular, the soldiers who were ordered to enter the city to play, all of them spent money generously, as long as they were in line with his taste, they would never refuse, and they were also the most loved by the merchants.

A horse-drawn carriage drove out of Dongchang Hutong and went east along Shuangnian Street, the old Hu on the wheel had a relaxed expression, holding the reins and moving slowly, shouting from time to time to remind passers-by.

Dozens of steps behind the car, Chang Yu walked slowly in civilian clothes, but a handsome son next to him was Song Luoyu in men's clothes, the two gossiped side by side leisurely, but because of their outstanding demeanor, they attracted the attention of many pedestrians, and secretly praised who had a pair of good sons.

"Luo Yu, since you returned to Beijing, you have been nesting in the yamen, and you don't go out shopping, this is not in line with women's habits" Chang Yu gossiped casually, Song Luoyu raised his eyebrows: "In the past few days, the city has been crowded and noisy, how can you be quiet in the yamen" said and sighed: "Besides, the things sold in the past few days are expensive, and this profiteer is taking advantage of the soldiers to return to the city to raise prices one after another, hateful."

Chang Yu laughed when he heard this, and said in his heart, this is called a lot of people? I'm afraid you don't know how many people there are in Beijing in the future, if you come across a New Year's holiday, don't say that there is no place to put your feet down, or there is no place to put needles. So he quipped: "I'm afraid it's not that the suspect is noisy, but because you're too obsessed with the person in the yamen......"

"My lord" Song Luoyu, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, is not afraid of murder, and when he heard this, his face immediately turned red, and he became shy, and glared at Chang Yu vigorously.

Seeing the situation, Chang Yu hurriedly changed the topic and coughed lightly: "Luo Yu, do you know what the economy is?" ”

Song Luoyu shook her head: "Can you eat it?" ”

"Not only can you eat but also drink" Chang Yu chuckled: "To put it bluntly, this economy spends money and earns silver, didn't you just say that the prices in the city have risen today?" ”

"It's gone up, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and the wine have all gone up a lot, especially the wine is about to double." Song Luoyu said.

"After months of war, the cost of materials is poor, and the selling price is naturally high.

Song Luoyu didn't understand, so Chang Yu told her, such as letting the soldiers enter the city to play, one is not to chill the soldiers' hearts, and the other is to stimulate the economy of the capital.

Are soldiers rich now? Yes.

Where did it come from? Rewarded by the imperial court.

Where did the court get the money, the people donated and the taxes paid.

However, due to the lack of materials in the capital due to the war, prices have risen, which will cause inflation...... Therefore, the money that comes from the hands of the common people must be earned, and the money in the hands of the soldiers must also be spent......

Song Luoyu was in a fog when he heard it, so he said: "This money has come full circle and returned to the hands of the people, and this round can solve a lot of things?" “

Chang Yu nodded: "That's right." After turning around, the problem of military salaries has been solved, and the soldiers have money, and then they spend the money, and the people have also made money."

"It's amazing, this is the economy...... Song" Luo Yu was about to ask deeply, suddenly frowning and looking at the corner of the street, and at the same time, Chang Yu also noticed that side.

Changyu is located at a crossroads, going straight to the east is Chaoyangmen Street, and the north and south are the north and south streets of the fourth floor of the east, which is extremely prosperous.

At this time, there were many people in front of a teahouse at the entrance of the street, and there were faint shouts and scolding, and it seemed that someone was arguing and attracting pedestrians to stop and watch.

If it was usual, this kind of small bustle Chang Yu had no time or interest at all, but now it was different, because he found that there was a soldier, and he looked at the provincial soldiers who pretended to be in the capital.

Could it be that the soldiers are making trouble again, Chang Yu is a little annoyed, it's not dark yet, so he drank too much? Thinking about it, he walked there, Song Luoyu raised his eyebrows and touched his belt.

It wasn't just her belt, in fact it was her weapon, the Soft Whip!

"Just a few words of sorry, don't kowtow to my son-in-law three times to apologize, it's not over" Two burly men were pushing a big-headed soldier.

The soldier was pushed back again and again, and had to give up his hand to forgive: "The little unintentional mistake, I can't help it......" Several colleagues around him also helped him intercede: "We didn't mean it, I beg this prince to raise his noble hand."

"Fucking it wasn't intentional, it wasn't intentional and it almost crippled someone, if it was intentional, then it didn't kill people" The burly man scolded angrily, and the other said: "It's okay if you don't kowtow, pay fifty taels of medical expenses, I heard that you soldiers have made a fortune, and the military salary and reward are all so rich, this silver should be able to afford it."

"This big brother, I really don't have so much silver, and besides, I just bumped into it, and I didn't get injured, so I won't lose so much......" Several other soldiers persuaded one after another.

But he was scolded by two big men: "What's the matter with you, hey, are you going to beat someone, come on, the soldier is beating people, the soldier is going to kill someone......"

Chang Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he looked outside the circle, and asked a woman next to him: "What's the matter with the aunt?" “

"Hehe, a few soldiers don't walk for a long time, and they bumped into the boy who came out of the teahouse and knocked them down, no, Brother Gongzi's family is unwilling......" The aunt pointed to a sneering son behind the family, and looked at his age of only fifteen or sixteen years old, but his extravagance should be not small.

Sure enough, the eldest brother next to him whispered again: "These soldiers are unlucky, that's the son of the Xinlehou family."

"Liu Wenbing's son?" Chang Yu was stunned, and the eldest brother glanced at him: "You are also bold, dare to call him by his name, if his family hears it, he will be beaten" and then said: "It's not Xin Lehou's son, it's his younger brother Liu Wenzhi!" “

It turned out to be this kid, Chang Yu sighed, the three brothers of Xinlehou Liu Wenbing, the second Liu Wenyao official residence of the Zuo Dudu, the third is the noble young man in front of him, after the death of Emperor Chongzhen in history, Emperor Nanming allowed him to attack Xinlebo.

The family Ding Wusheng opened his mouth and shouted, the onlookers were not afraid of the big things and coaxed, but the faces of several soldiers were frightened and pale, you must know that the military law strictly ordered that you should not disturb the city, yesterday I arrested hundreds of people who were beaten and fined silver, and the pro-soldiers who were as powerful as Huang Degong ran back to the camp and were arrested, not to mention that they were the big soldiers who had no backing, and now they saw the onlookers and the people were in a hurry, where to parry, and they didn't want to make things bigger, a few people wanted to make amends, and the parties didn't want to involve a few colleagues, so they softened: "Okay, I'll kneel, I will kowtow to my son to make amends."

"Wait!" Just when the soldier was about to kneel, Chang Yu walked out of the crowd, looked at a few soldiers with a pale face, and then looked at the two burly family members, his eyes swept over the onlookers, and finally fell on the noble son Liu Wenzhi: "I feel very sad!" “

"What the hell are you, it's hard to get through," the guy snorted and looked up and pushed towards Chang Yu.

"Bold!"

"Stop!"

Almost at the same time, Song Luoyu and Liu Wenzhi spoke at the same time, and the family Ding was taken aback, and looked back at Liu Wenzhi: "Son, ......"

"Retreat" Liu Wenzhi scolded lightly, walked towards Chang Yu, and arched his hand: "The subordinate is reckless and rude, don't blame the son" said and arched his hand towards Song Luoyu, his eyes were slightly strange.

To put it bluntly, Liu Wenzhi is also a gentleman in Beijing, not to mention his illustrious family background, his two brothers are awesome and coaxing, and he is very spoiled by him, and he is not a good talker.

But he is different from other gentlemen, that is, he is not so arrogant and domineering, and he is very discerning, seeing that Chang Yu and Song Luoshu have extraordinary temperaments, he knows that he is not an ordinary person, since he dares to end up, he must have a little background, and he wants to be in this capital There are countless noble and wealthy families, don't touch any hard nails.

Who knew that Chang Yu didn't pay attention to him, and looked around at the onlookers and the people were angry: "The reason why you can watch the excitement here at this time, have you ever thought about who is behind the bloody struggle to ensure this stability?" He pointed to the soldiers: "That's them!" “

"If they hadn't thrown their heads outside, spilled blood and fought hard with the Tartars, where would you be at this time, where would your home be?" said and glared at Liu Wenzhi angrily: "How many soldiers died in battle to keep you safe, these people have never bowed their heads in the face of fierce enemies on the battlefield, their heads can be broken and bleeding can be shed, and now they are forced to kneel and kowtow by the people they protect, it is really a great irony, how can people's hearts be so indifferent and vicious, are you really shameless to such a point that you don't have a little face?"

Chang Yu roared angrily, and the onlookers who really scolded were red-faced, and many people were faceless and quietly dispersed.
