The upgrade of Concubine Xian in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 717

As the sun set, the carriage walked towards the gate of the city according to the time. Soldiers stood on both sides of the gate, dismissing everyone impatiently.

The carriage left not far from the gate of the county seat, and the voices of two old men could be heard outside the carriage.

"You said, when we left the city today, how could the soldiers be so talkative?" The old man came here specially to do business in the county seat, and when he found that the guards at the gate of the city had become so talkative, he felt a little uneasy.

Another old man looked around and lowered his voice beside him and said, "I heard that Lord Long Live is here and will be stationed here for three days. Tell me, can these people have a bad attitude?"

"Hehe, let me tell you, this morning, when I entered the city at Chenshi, I didn't even receive the city fee. This saved me a lot of money." The old man was very happy. It will be fine, at least, it will save us a lot of expenses."

The old man on the opposite side laughed: "It's okay for you to be the Long Live Lord. You will leave in three days, and our good days will be over. Take advantage of this opportunity, let's do more business and earn some money." Some, don't be greedy."

"Yeah, I'm just fantasizing. Is it really a stick? When I go out of the city, the fee for leaving the city is gone. In three days, the family can earn a few more taels of silver." The old man said happily.

Going to the city to do business, these two items alone would be a month's work for their family.

"Okay, stop daydreaming, let's go back quickly, and go to the city at Chenshi tomorrow, save some money, and get up later." The old man's voice slowly moved away.

Zarafin looked at Hongli: "My lord still wants money when I go out of the city?"

Hongli frowned tightly, and Zarafin's expression of bewilderment made his face a little blushing. When he entered the city, Hongli was angry. If he entered the city alone, he would definitely call all the officials. to reprimand.

"Okay, let's go back and report to Huang Ama soon," Hongli got up early to bid farewell to Yongzheng. Yongzheng just said, take Zarafin into the city, and pay attention to the safety of the little girl, but The little girl was put in danger.

Hongli heard Yongzheng's words, at first he felt that Yongzheng was worrying unnecessarily, but after entering the city, Hongli felt that Yongzheng should have got the news early.

Back on the imperial boat, Yongzheng heard the detailed report from Hongli and his party ahead of time, with a smile on his face, Hongli must have listened, and must be angry.

After the two greeted Yongzheng, Hongli began to introduce the situation in the city one by one, emphasizing the two expenses.

"I see. The governor here will come back tomorrow to greet you. You continue to visit the city and don't show up here." Yongzheng sent Hongli to the city for a three-day stroll to get more definite information. He waited until the imperial boat left Later, Yongzheng sent imperial envoys to deal with Fu Yin.

"Yes, Huang Ama, if my son doesn't hold back, right?" Hongli was really worried about whether he would directly attack.

"No, what did you promise me? If you can't bear it, you will make trouble." Yongzheng looked at Hongli and said.

"Huang Ama, these people really don't know what to say. They actually increased two types of income. The governor said it was used for taxation. Where did it really appear?" Hongli retorted.

How Yongzheng didn't know, these fees probably went into the purse of the governor, and the people below were the ones who suffered the most, otherwise, it only took three days to make these traders so happy.

"Fourth, we can't move now. If we encounter other market conditions, it's not too late to act." Yongzheng looked at Hongli and said.

Hongli's face was a bit ugly, and Yongzheng's disapproval did not mean that Hongli had no choice.

The two walked out of the royal boat one after the other, and returned to the study on the boat. Hongli began to think about what to do tomorrow.

"Jiaojiao, don't go with me tomorrow." Hongli needs an excuse to get Zarafin involved in the right and wrong, and Yongzheng will definitely use Zarafen as a shield.

"Master, let Master Jiu go with you." Zarafen didn't want Hongli to confront him head-on, Yongzheng explained in advance, just to give Hongli a wake-up call.

Zarafin's suggestion made Hongli very happy. The old nine has a bad temper, which just makes those people worry.

According to Hongli's guess, these people might be from Lao Ba's side, and Hongjun's passing will definitely be a shock.

"Gao Wuyong, go and invite Jiu Ye and Jiu Fujin here." Hongli looked at Gao Wuyong and said.

Later, Hongjun and Jiufujin walked into the cabin, Hongli sat at the round table, looked at Hongjun's smiling face, and quickly pointed to the seat beside him.

"Old Nine, sit down first." Hongli prepared his words and told about the affairs in the city. Hongyun's heart was slightly shocked. It turned out that Yinsi still took this road.

"Fourth brother, I'll go and see with you, we can't act rashly, it might be something in the east." Hongyun said helplessly.

Hongli knew it in his heart, so he thought more about what he said.

"I know, at least there must be first-hand information." Hongli and Hongjun talked for a while, and confirmed that tomorrow will pass at Maoshi, and the city gate will no longer collect city fees at Maoshi.

and many more!

Hongjun suddenly remembered that the last time he entered the county was Maoshi, so these people probably thought that the princes should come out at this time.

"Fourth brother, I was wrong. Next time, I will be extra careful when doing things." Hongli's face was a little ugly.

Just after Maoshi, the carriages of Hongli and Hongyun gathered at the gate of the city. Zarafin leaned against Hongli's side in a daze. Yesterday, he accompanied Hongli to read the booklet. Extraordinarily exhausting.

"Fourth brother, are you here?" The carriage stopped in front of the teahouse, and the first thing Hongjun did after he came out was to say hello to Hongli.

"Old Jiu, go to the private room first." Hongli just got out of the carriage when he found someone looking at him.

Before Hongjun left yesterday, Zarafen deliberately took out a pair of shoe soles and let Jiu Fujin take them away. Those were the three-inch golden lotus soles that Zarafen had specially made for Jiu Fujin before leaving the capital. The servants around have finished the shoes and are wearing them today.

When Jiufujin and Zarafin got off the carriage, the moment the three-inch golden lotus-shaped shoe sole appeared, everyone's fiery eyes disappeared.

Hongjun found out about this sensitively, swallowed the words in his stomach, and went directly to the private room.

The private rooms on the left and right sides of the private room were all occupied by people from Hongli and Hongjun. Even if they were talking here, they couldn't be heard from outside.

"Fourth brother, I'll take care of it here, don't worry." Hong Yun's face looked better.
