The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Chapter 32 The closed city of Yanchuan

"Don't look, the young master has gone far away," Zhao Wanrong gently pushed her sister, who was watching Liu Zhenhua's retreating back in a daze.

A blush appeared on the latter's face, and he said coquettishly, "No way, sister, you are talking nonsense again."

"Ah, my face is red and I still say no," Zhao Wanrong pretended to be surprised.

"It's okay, my sister understands. Which girl doesn't have a child?"

Zhao Wanrong looked at her sister and teased.

"Ah, sister, you can say anything," Zhao Wanyu's face turned even redder, and she turned around and looked around. When she found that no one was around, she had the courage to look at her sister Zhao Wanrong with feigned anger.

What women say to each other cannot be heard by outsiders, and the content of their chats is often more explosive than the content of chats between men.

This has been true since ancient times, and it is even more true in modern times. If anyone wants to see the chat history between his girlfriend and his best friend, he must be fully prepared mentally.

"Huh, so what about Huaichun? The young master is so outstanding, I don't believe that my sister won't be tempted."

Zhao Wanyu snorted. There was no one around, which freed her nature. Although she loved to blush, it was just a habit left by the presence of outsiders. She had asked her brother to read stories from the street when she was a child.

One day when she entered her brother's room, she found a drawing book with images.
Zhao Wanyu's bold words made Zhao Wanrong, who was teasing her first, a little embarrassed and annoyed, "Well, Zhao Wanyu," she said, then stepped forward and scratched Zhao Wanyu.

"Keke, sister, I was wrong."

Zhao Wanyu dodged again and again, and laughed like silver bells from her mouth.

Perhaps because she was tired, or perhaps because she thought of something, Zhao Wanrong sighed, "The young master is a god after all."

Zhao Wanyu heard the unspoken words in her sister's sigh, looked into the distance, and then said softly: "The young master is not a god, he is the reincarnation of a god, and he is also a mortal. He can be regarded as a god who has descended from the earth."

"Besides, the Cowherd can still be with the Weaver Girl," Zhao Wanyu's voice rose slightly.

"Haha," Zhao Wanrong chuckled, "Why do you want to steal clothes while the young master is taking a bath? Or should you let your sister be your old scalper and steal for you?"

"Yeah! Sister!"

"This is a monopoly, a naked monopoly," Liu Zhenhua looked at the products in the mall with a sad expression.

Because Liu Zhenhua saw the prices of hard currency silver and gold.

That's expensive.

One hundred reputations can be exchanged for one tael of silver.

You must know that a war horse only costs [-] reputations.

In the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, a horse only cost ten taels of silver, and a better one only cost 20 taels. Nowadays, horses are expensive in the late Ming Dynasty, and a horse can cost almost 60 taels.

60 Liang, which requires [-] reputation to redeem in the mall, which is twice as expensive.

Isn't this a monopoly? Isn't it because he is afraid that he will use the money exchanged in the mall to buy outside.

The key is that Liu Zhenhua has nothing to do.

Regarding the matter of exchanging silver, I heard from Wang Yousheng that when entering the city now, the officers and soldiers at the city gate have to eat and ask for cards, so Liu Zhenhua thought to see if he could exchange some silver.

Who knew it was so expensive.

Liu Zhenhua gave up this idea.

"But Master, if you are riding a horse, you can bluff the officers and soldiers. If they see it, they won't come to you to take the card," Wang Yousheng suggested.

Liu Zhenhua's outfit, except for the clothes that look a bit shabby, is all top-notch.Let’s not talk about his appearance. Although he is not similar to Xu Gong in the north of the city, his 1.8-meter tall Fengshen and handsome face look like a young master.

With a sword on his waist and a horse riding on his crotch, he has a certain background at first glance.

As a group of people headed towards Yanchuan County, they felt something was wrong from a distance.

Originally, there were some victims wandering outside Yanchuan County, but today there was not a single victim outside. It looked deserted, and the gate of Yanchuan County was closed.

"Is it because of yesterday's massacre?"

Liu Zhenhua and others got closer. The blood on the ground had dried. They looked up and saw the officers and soldiers guarding the city wall of Yanchuan County. The originally lazy officers and soldiers became nervous after seeing Liu Zhenhua and others approaching.

However, when they saw Liu Zhenhua, they breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Young masters outside, please go back to where you came from."

Wang Yousheng's words are very reasonable. These officers and soldiers guarding the city wall are just waiting for people to eat. If Liu Zhenhua hadn't been riding a horse with a knife, with the clothes he was wearing, the people above would probably have yelled, "Where do these refugees come from?" , get out of here.”

But now he said it in a good voice.

"Yesterday, rebels attacked the city. Starting today, Yanchuan County has been under martial law. No one is allowed to leave or enter."

The officers and soldiers above explained.

"Thanks for the reminder," Liu Zhenhua said with his hands in hand, and the team had to turn around.

Yesterday's victims were defined as rebels. No wonder there were no victims outside today. The victims who wandered over would probably be treated as rebels when they arrived. Those who ran away would spread the news, and no one would dare to come here.

There was no other way, so Liu Zhenhua had to give up the idea of ​​entering the city.

However, this trip to Yanchuan was not without its rewards.

Yesterday, Liu Zhenhua saw those officers and soldiers killing the revolting victims outside the city and even captured them.

Liu Zhenhua thought that these officers and soldiers were very strong and might not be able to fight their way out of the city.

Now seeing that Yanchuan County was directly affected by yesterday's events and directly closed the county gate and blocked the county seat, Liu Zhenhua made up his mind.

The officers and soldiers here will not be able to affect him in a short period of time.

"Where is the south of Yanchuan?"

On the way, Liu Zhenhua asked Wang Yousheng that Chengcheng County, more than 400 miles south of Yanchuan, was where Wang Er's uprising took place.

There are also many counties and villages in the middle.

"Going back to the young master, the slightly larger counties below Yanchuan include Yanchang, Yichuan, and Huanglong, and the smaller ones are towns like Jiaokou. Basically, there is a family of landowners and gentry who make it big, even the county seat. Not really, no walls, no soldiers."

Wang Yousheng replied.

Liu Zhenhua understood that by the end of the Ming Dynasty, land annexation became more and more serious, and the landlord class took advantage of political and economic privileges to occupy most of the land.

Some places are basically run by one landlord, and the people around are basically the landlord's tenants. A big fat insect lies on a group of people and sucks blood.

These things are also inevitable. Land annexation is the root cause of the collapse of previous dynasties. Why did a dynasty as huge as the Ming Dynasty collapse when it was said to have collapsed? It was not due to long-standing class conflicts.

A large number of farmers have no land but still have to pay taxes. Officials only know that rich people only know corruption. The taxes paid by the people should be beneficial to the country and then given to the people, forming a good cycle of development, but these rich people and corrupt officials In the hands of dirty officials.

Coupled with a little external push, the huge dynasty was directly destroyed.
