At the beginning of the month, an auction was to be held in the palace, and all the wealthy merchants from all over the country got Yang Xing's invitation, these businessmen and Yuan Fang guessed the same, and at the beginning they saw that the entrance fee was one thousand taels of silver, and they were all full of indignation, secretly scolding Yang Xing for naked robbery, but when they learned that the location of this auction was the palace, and they could also visit by the way before the auction, the unhappiness in their hearts disappeared, and was replaced by ecstasy.

The Royal Palace, what is that place? That is the center of the imperial power, that is where the emperor deals with the government, but it is not something that ordinary people can enter casually, even if they have money, they can't enter the palace, even if it is the outermost part, it is also a great honor, so those rich merchants dragged their families one by one, and came to the imperial capital from all over the country with large sums of silver, waiting for the auction to start at the same time, and also taking their families to see the prosperity of the imperial capital by the way.

In addition to the auction, there is a more important event, that is, in the middle of the month, Yang Xing, the third prince, will ascend the throne and inherit the throne, Yang Xing gradually adapted to the emperor's profession during this time, and also did a lot of major things that benefit the country and the people, such as adjusting the tax rate, reducing the people's taxes, such as encouraging wasteland, promoting storage, and giving certain preferential policies, etc., in a word, Yang Xing's reputation is now in full swing, and ascending the throne is the will of the people, the general trend.

Yang Xing's ascension to the throne was a major event in the Eastern Sage Empire, so he sent envoys to the surrounding countries early to invite representatives of various countries to come to watch the ceremony. There is also the end of September, the tenth day after Yang Xing's accession to the throne, the Eastern Sage Empire will hold a imperial examination to select talents to supplement the military and political system, so that those scholars who only care about studying at home have also rushed to the imperial capital, coupled with the newly promulgated patent decree, many people have brought their own inventions to the Industrial Department to report, so that more people poured into the imperial capital, resulting in the streets of the imperial capital are overcrowded every day, and it is impossible to ride a horse, and even if you are unlucky, you may be kicked hard, such things happen many times these days, so Yang Xing had to order that horseback riding is prohibited in the imperial capital recently, and even carriages can only be operated in the outer city where there are fewer people.

In contrast, the tricycle driver is much more convenient than the horse, the tricycle driver is a local, familiar with the imperial capital, can avoid some of the more bustling commercial streets, take a detour to the destination, of course, if the guest is not in a hurry and willing to pay a little more, the tricycle driver will also take them on a slow tour of the famous business districts.

Yuan Fang left the camp of the city guards with Sang Rou and Yuyue and rushed to the palace, because the military hospital was now temporarily located in the camp of the guards in the palace.

Yuan Fang and the three of them walked for a while, and finally came across a tricycle that had just delivered the guests to their destination, Yuan Fang waved vigorously and shouted: "Taxi, this way, come here." ”

Seeing that Yuan Fang was so familiar with the road, the tricycle driver came over with a smile, skillfully stepped on the brake and stopped in front of Yuan Fang and asked, "How many people, where do you want to go?" ”

Yuan Fang saw that there were many people next to him walking towards this side, and hurriedly pulled Sang Rou and Jieyue into the car, and smiled proudly at those guys who were obviously here to rob the car, and then said to the coachman: "Let's go to the Huangmen store of Meihua Car Company." "Huangmenmen, not far from the Imperial City, Yuan Fang said this because he didn't want to expose his destination.

The coachman frowned when he heard this, and said, "There, it's a bit far, and this price is not cheap." ”

Yuan Fang said indifferently: "Say as much as you want." ”

The coachman calculated the distance in his heart, and said, "If you three of you are going to do so, give you sixty cents." ”

Yuan Fang was surprised and said, "No, so much." ”

The coachman explained: "Now there are more and more people in the imperial capital, some roads can't be crossed at all, you have to take a detour, sixty yuan is already very cheap, not to mention that there are three of you, each person is only twenty yuan on average, it's really not much." ”

Yuan Fang shrugged: "Cheng." ”

The coachman smiled and said, "Okay, you're done." As he spoke, the tricycle started.

On the way, Sang Rou and Yuyue, who were dressed in ordinary long skirts, sat on both sides, looked at some shops and scenery along the way, chatted non-stop, Yuan Fang, who was dressed in a foreign suit, crooked his body and chatted with the coachman, the coachman was a strong man in his forties, and his physique was quite good, otherwise he would not dare to take on this kind of business if he didn't have some physical strength, the coachman's surname was Huang Mingqiang, he was an affordable person, very talkative, and talked a lot with Yuan Fang along the way.

When Yuan Fang asked how the taxi business was, Huang Qiang was so happy that his mouth was almost closed, Huang Qiang revealed that now there are almost 2,000 tricycles in the plum blossom car dealership, but the business has not become fierce competition because of the increase in employees, but is getting better and better, so to speak, as long as you are willing to work, there is no idle time, no matter where you go, there are people in the car, of course, except for some remote corners, today, Huang Qiang came out early in the morning, and now it is almost noon, and he has not been idle, so go on, Today's lunch has to be made with dry food again, but Huang Qiang is not dissatisfied at all, but very happy, because his efforts have been richly rewarded, according to Huang Qiang, he has earned a lot this morning, excluding the money given to the car dealership, he can personally earn almost ten taels of silver in a month.

Hearing this number, Sang Rou and Jieyue were taken aback, ten taels a month, more than a hundred taels a year, and then think about yourself, or a captain, well, there are only twelve taels of military salary a year, which is a little more.

Sang Rou said enviously: "Brother-in-law, if we also work as a taxi, we will be able to sell a good house in a few years." ”

Yuan Fang looked at Sang Rou's somewhat thin little body: "It's just you, it is estimated that it is difficult for you to pull the two of you, and you still want to make money, I think it's better to forget it." ”

Huang Qiang smiled and said: "This little brother is right, little girl, don't think about it, how can you do such rough work if you are so beautiful." Sang Rou was praised for her beauty, smiled sweetly, and saw that Huang Qiang was stunned for a moment, and almost hit the wall.

Yuan Fang teased: "I said Brother Huang, you can take it easy, don't patronize and watch beautiful women, you have to pay attention to safety." ”

Huang Qiang's old face turned red, and he said yes again and again, and then said with a smile: "You don't have to envy, that is, there are more outsiders during this time, and they all want to taste something fresh, so our business will be so good. ”

Yuzuki exaggerated: "That's not a lot." ”
