Sun Erlang wiped his mouth, patted his stomach and said to Xiqing: "This dish is really fragrant!" Festive, I'm full this time! ”

Festive smiled and said, "It's good to be fragrant, I'll take you to eat next time you come!" ”

"No, it's delicious here, it's delicious, and it costs a lot of money. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoHow hard it is to make money, save it well! ”

Smiled happily: "I can't make any money, you can't afford to invite me too!" But as long as Luoyang City is still like this, it can still produce so much cotton cloth, and the money can't be earned. I've made money, so I'll treat you to a good meal! ”

Sun Erlang laughed for a while, remembered the past, and sighed: "When we met in Bajiao Town last year, you invited me to eat two steamed buns, and I felt that it was the best thing in the world, where could I imagine today." It's only been a year, and I've gone from a little beggar who escaped from the famine to now I'm finally well fed and clothed. You are the same, at that time, when you came to Luoyang City with Director Zheng, you just thought about food and clothing, and you didn't have to be too tired to work every day. Where can I think now, I have become a little supervisor in the shop. Alas, I often hear learned people say that the vicissitudes of life and celebration, are we considered vicissitudes? ”

"Count, of course! At that time, it was not easy to find a place to sleep in the wind and rain, and there was no place like now. By the way, Erlang, what does it mean to be in the vicissitudes of life? ”

"Who knows what it means? Maybe it's just a big change, that's what I heard pretty much the other said. Sun Erlang burped, looked left and right, and saw the pavilion on the water next to him at a glance, pointing out to the celebration. It turns out that there is a pavilion here, but I thought there were only tables and stools in this shed! ”

Xi Qing looked at the pavilion over there and pouted: "There are always those rich guests who run on the boat, how can they crowd together with the poor to eat in such a place?" But, Erlang, I really can't afford to invite you there! ”

Sun Erlang laughed: "You just can afford it, I don't dare to go!" I'm from the countryside, and I can't sit or stand in that kind of place, isn't it just plain and shameful? We poor people just have to eat the food of the poor! ”

Xiqing laughed together, and suddenly pointed to the side of the pavilion and said, "Hey, isn't that the Ducao official and the general judge?" Why did the two of them get here? Twelve's business is getting bigger and bigger! ”

The pavilion that Sun Erlang said was actually a bamboo house built along the surface of the Luo River, half of which was built on the bank and half of which stretched into the Luo River. There is a large piece of bamboo planted on the shore, which looks very quiet.

Zhang Liping was lying on the counter in the pavilion to settle accounts, and as soon as he looked up, he looked past the red, green and green prostitutes in the colorful building, and saw Xu Ping and Wang Yaochen coming together with their entourage.

He put down the pen in his hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously to make sure he was not mistaken. Zhang Liping hurriedly walked out, rushed out of the pavilion, greeted Xu Ping in front of him, and said with surprise on his face: "What kind of wind blew the two officials here today?" In the morning, I heard the magpie chirping, and sure enough, there was a good thing! ”

Xu Ping looked at the full shed sitting next to him, and said with a smile: "Twelve Lang's business here is very prosperous!" ”

"It's okay! If it weren't for the Ducao officials, where would I be today! Zhang Liping said as he led Xu Ping and Wang Yaochen into the bamboo house, and led straight to a waterfront pavilion inside. It's quiet here, so the two officials will be wronged. ”

Sitting down with Wang Yaochen, Xu Ping said: "Okay, good here, this is it." Twelve, a few of my entourage, you let him sit next to him, it's not good to stay away. ”

Zhang Liping agreed, and arranged Tan Hu and the others in the cabinet next to him. After settling down, Zhang Liping came back and asked, "Two officials, do you want to call a few little ladies to come over and sing a few tunes to relieve boredom?" In a place like me, there are no outstanding talents, but two of them have clear voices, and they are quite passable. ”

Xu Ping waved his hand: "No need, the two of us will say something, don't let people disturb Qingjing." ”

Zhang Liping agreed, and asked what to eat, Xu Ping asked him to prepare it casually, and then scalded a pot of wine.

After a while, the wine and food came up, Zhang Liping drank two glasses with him, and then said goodbye with humor, and let Xu Ping and Wang Yaochen talk by themselves.

Xu Ping looked out the window, the night was completely dark, but the river was lined with trees, and the wind lanterns hanging on the boat illuminated the river as bright as day. However, the wharf is at its busiest, and many workers are busy loading the ship.

Turning around, Xu Ping said to Wang Yaochen: "These days, the changes in Xijing City are not small! I remember that a year ago, there were not a few boats on the Luo River, and there were no people living on the shore, but now everything has changed! ”

"It's changed, don't say it's you, I'm late, that's what Xijing City looks like every day, and I don't even know it now. Yunxing, to be honest, although it is a good thing to change, it becomes too fast, and I sometimes feel flustered. ”

"Oh, how can it feel like that? It's become lively that your performance appraisal is good, what are you flustered about? ”

"It's getting so fast! If one state and one government can increase by 1,000 or 2,000 households a year, it is a no-brainer. But how many households have increased in Xijing City in a year? There are more than 10,000 people in the field of light, and there are all kinds of businesses, not counting those outside the city! This dynasty has been established for more than 60 years, where have you ever seen such a thing? Speaking of money and grain, if the local government is a state or a county, the tax will be completed when it reaches ninety percent, and it will not be recovered. Now, Yunxing, do you know, I take the business tax I receive every day, and the number is rising every day! Speaking of this, Wang Yaochen leaned out to Xu Ping and lowered his voice. Henan Mansion can receive more than 10,000 guan a day, which used to be only tens of thousands a year! Do you think I can not panic? ”

Xu Ping thinks about it, all the indicators of official performance evaluation, Wang Yaochen has thrown the highest level out of the shadow. There was a saying in the previous life, one step ahead is a genius, three steps ahead is a madman, according to this, Wang Yaochen is now crazy.

This number Xu Ping believes here, and when it is reported to the imperial court, it is difficult to estimate what others will say.

After thinking for a while, Xu Ping said to Wang Yaochen: "What are you doing with all this?" It's all a good thing anyway, who doesn't believe in themselves to see it! It can't be fake, it can't be fake, with me, you don't have to worry about this! ”

Wang Yaochen said again: "Also, there are so many more people in the city at once, many of them are businessmen with huge sums of money, who knows if anyone wants to kill people and rob money?" One Tong Dalang will make a storm in the city, and if there is another one, then it will be okay? ”

Hearing this, Xu Ping couldn't help but smile and said, "Boyong, you are too worried about this!" Now is the time when everyone wants to make money and can make money, you look at the cloth collector in Sister Tang's shop just now, it's inconspicuous, didn't they say that they had earned nearly 100 yuan? At this time, everyone will put those bad thoughts aside, and the fight will make them even less angry, and they will be busy making money! You don't have to worry about making money at this time, and the order will naturally be good. You should be worried, when the market of cotton cloth goes down, if there are still so many people in the city, it will be easy to have an accident. To put it mildly, now in Xijing City, everyone's brains are overwhelmed by the money brought by the cotton, and they are all like crazy demons, but nothing will happen. Wait until this fire goes down, and then it's dangerous. ”
