Chapter Eighty-Three: Tangtou City

He Pan Cuijie now treats Qiuming as his own person, so he told him the reason carefully. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info It turned out that the former Dengzhou County Commander was greedy and stupid, and he actually listened to the technique of a wandering Taoist to find the dragon and divide the gold, and dug up the land in the city, but nothing was dug out, but most of the county was dug into potholes, which was almost unsuitable for human habitation.

The county order also listened to the instructions of the Taoist, and in the name of the county office, borrowed money from various wealthy and powerful usurers, bought all these rotten lands, and developed them into a comprehensive community integrating housing, shopping, entertainment, and catering. After the completion of the construction, due to the high taxes and fees, there are no merchants to settle in, and those high-end residences can not be sold, so they can only be vacant, and occasionally used by the surrounding people to raise pigs.

This county order has a favor at the top, and when he saw that this mess could not be closed, he immediately applied for a transfer to another party. Almost every day, there are powerful landlords who take the deed to block the account of the county office, and the square seal of Dengzhou County above the deed makes him unable to deny it.

He Pan shook his head and said, "How dare I? Even if I don't want my own face, I have to take care of the face of the court, right? Fortunately, I was a local filial piety, and I was familiar with all the powerful families, and finally they agreed to pay off their debts with taxes and land harvests in the next few years. Alas, I, as an official, deserve to be aggrieved. ”

Qiu Ming thought to himself, I don't know if you should be aggrieved or not, those county officials in front of you are obviously regarded by you as a backbiter, and they are so fast. He thought of the wandering Daoist who bewitched the former R county order, that thing couldn't be also a traverser, why did this set of actions look so familiar? It's a pity that although his set of marketing plans is full of flowers, he doesn't take into account the most fundamental problem, just need, just need, just need, in this two thousand years ago, who has this kind of just need to buy a high-priced house in your small county?

In the next few days, Tyumen was leisurely touring the mountains and rivers in Dengzhou County, envious Guo Jia and Chen Zhen, who stayed in the county office to count the account books. However, under their inventory, they found many intentional or unintentional mistakes, perhaps, those old accounts are not as many as the harvest in five years.

On this day, Qiuming came to the Wuli Tomb in the south of the city, and Cangcao Wu Gui, who led the way, explained: "Today's Dengzhou, in the Spring and Autumn Period, is called Deng Guo, Deng Hou Wu left the government and loved the people, developed agriculture, encouraged iron smelting and casting, and Deng Shijian was famous all over the world. It is said that I am the ancestor of the Deng surname in the world, and I was buried here after my death, and I have enjoyed the sacrifice of the villagers for nearly a thousand years. ”

Wu Gui said with emotion, but Qiu Ming looked at this Wu Limound and shook his head speechlessly, shouldn't the mausoleum and the like be solemn and solemn to entrust the sorrow of future generations? Why is this one so noisy like a farmer's market?

I saw that the mound was divided into four neat plates in the four directions of southeast, east and northwest, and there was a straight and wide road in the middle of each plate, until the confluence of the mausoleum hall in the center. On both sides of the road, there are many colorful cloth cloth made of brocade tents, the brocade tent is divided into two entrances, the front one is all kinds of loud vendors, the back one is tightly covered, I don't know what reason.

Wu Gui approached Qiuming and said mysteriously: "There was originally only a bare mausoleum here, but because it is located on a traffic artery, the villager Wang Hu entrenched himself and made a tangled city. ”

"Entanglement City?" Tyumen asked: "What's that?" ”

"Wang Hu is not from the government and has no power to collect taxes, so he came up with such a workaround. The front account is the city, the back account is the prostitute, and the prostitute's head testering fee is used to pay the management cost of the market, and over time, this place is called the head treading market. ”

Tyuming's eyes lit up, is this okay? Isn't this an ancient Chinese version of Amsterdam? He was about to walk inside, but was stopped by several big men at the intersection: "Do guests have butterfly charms?" ”

Wu Gui hurriedly explained to Qiu Ming: "Regular customers naturally come and go freely in Tangtou City, but there are still many restrictions on raw faces, such as the need for someone to introduce you and carry a butterfly charm with you to ensure that you don't come here to cause trouble." ”

After explaining, Wu Gui said with a straight face: "Presumptuous, this is the newly appointed Qiu County Cheng, don't you recognize this official uniform?" Why don't you let the county in? ”

"Offended", a middle-aged man in a purple robe walked out of the city quickly, followed by more than a dozen servants: "The name of the county is the name of my Wang Hu for a long time." However, as the saying goes, there are no rules, there is no circle, I am not a traitor or a thief in this city, the first time I came to Qiu County, I still have to abide by the rules here, if there is no referral butterfly charm, I am afraid it is not very convenient. ”

Wei Yan was about to get angry when he rolled his eyes, but Qiu Ming smiled and said, "Before I came, I really didn't hear these rules, and now that I don't have a butterfly talisman, can't I enter?" ”

Wang Hu said with a smile: "Qiu County is a guest from afar, how dare Wang Hu let the distinguished guests be disappointed, so I personally introduced the distinguished guests and took them to the city to walk around." However, these entourage weapons must be left outside and not allowed to enter. ”

Tyumen listened to him talk about the distinguished guests, as if he was mocking himself as a short-term tourist here, and that he would soon be gone or die, just like the former county princes. He was slightly angry in his heart, but he smiled and said, "You are a cautious person, then I will be a guest to the master." He immediately ordered Wei Yan to take people to guard outside, and he slowly followed Wang Hu into the city.

There are many vendors in the city, and there are all kinds of goods, but they only hear the sound of bargaining and do not see the fighting, Qiu Ming nodded secretly, although this Wang Hu is quite disrespectful to himself, at least he still has a hand in market management.

Wang Hu was complacent about the various arrangements in the city, but when he saw Qiu Ming standing in front of a sword stall, Wang Hu smiled and said, "Is Qiu Xian Cheng also interested in Yue's sword?" Tyumen stared at the blonde, blue-eyed, high-nosed, dark-eyed stall owner and asked, "Why are Europeans coming to China now?" Could it be that the Age of Discovery has already begun in advance? But the stall owner bowed down and said, "Envoy Jun, the small people are from the Western Regions, and now they have migrated to the party to avoid trouble." This person actually speaks with a clear pronunciation and a pure accent, which is not at all as strange as the foreigners who speak Chinese in later generations.

Qiu Ming sneered in his heart, Karma? When I have my hands free, I will wipe you off the map. He tried his best to control the killing intent in his eyes, no longer paid attention to the stall owner, turned his head and asked Wang Hu, "There are many people gathered over there, why are they?" ”

Wang Hu said with a smile: "The owner of the goods recently received a few Korean Ji from the area of Lelang with Fang at a high price, and the people in the city were quite surprised, and they rushed to look at it, just hoping to kiss Fangze, so there were many people around." He lowered his voice and said: "From Wang Hu's point of view, although the Korean Ji has a soft voice and body, it is not as wonderful as the female obsession to die. There are a lot of women in this tent in front of him, it is better to go to Qiuxian Cheng to inspect the climate and observe the people's conditions, and the assets to entangle their heads are presented by Wang Hu's hands. ”
