"Chaosheng, I want to eat this."

"Two strings."

Jiang Chaosheng took out taels of silver from his purse and asked for two strings of candied haws from the old man who sold the candied haws. He never owes money on credit himself, and he also makes the same request to the leadership team under him, lest others follow suit. When it developed, it fell on top of corruption.

I only ate one of the candied haws. Ji Xuanbing smelled the aroma of fried tofu and drooled again. The old tofu was cut into squares about the thickness of fingers, and it was roasted on a hot iron plate until the outside was charred and the inside was tender. The ground chili powder and cumin were one Scattered, the aroma wafted out ten miles, hooking people's fingers.

"Shop, another tofu and less chili." He and Ji Xuanbing had not been in the capital for long, and they were still going to the funeral. Even if they had free time, it was impossible to have fun. Back out of town to play. For this reason, Jiang Chaosheng felt a little guilt towards Ji Xuanbing in his heart, and couldn't help but indulge Ji Xuanbing a little more.

Anyway, he is rich and can buy as many snacks as he can: "Eat it slowly, and give me what you can't finish." Jiang Chao, who Ji Xuanbing couldn't finish eating, would break it open and put it in a clean paper bag. In this way, those snacks that have not been touched can also be rewarded to servants.

While eating, Ji Xuanbing slowly inspected the city: "Chaosheng, I think Qiongzhou City is better than the capital."

"Where's the good?"

"The streets here are so clean, and there are no beggars." Ji Xuanbing remembered the dirty children he saw in the capital, and suddenly thought of a possibility, "Chaosheng, did those people drive the beggars away when they saw the two of us coming out? "

Jiang Chaosheng shook his head: "There are no beggars in Qiongzhou City."

Qiongzhou City is a little different from other places. Some streets here are not as spacious as Kyoto, but slaves can be seen on the streets, but no beggars. When Jiang Chao was born on this island, Qiongzhou did not have a single beggar because he was too poor and few. The latter was to maintain the appearance of the city and not allow beggars on the streets. In fact, many prosperous areas do not allow beggars to beg along the street, but Qiongzhou City is different from other places. In other places, beggars are directly driven away, while Qiongzhou City is to pull beggars away for registration.

The rules for managing beggars are similar to those of slaves. No matter they are old, infirm or disabled, they are all pulled to work, such as pasting lanterns, pasting cardboard boxes, cleaning the ground, and working to have food and a place to live. The living is not very good. It is a low-rent housing built by the government. After all, it is crowded, and the food is poor, but it is definitely better than simply being a beggar.

If you are diligent and capable, and slowly save your savings, there are other days to live. As for children, in addition to working, they must study. Eat and wait to die, or are just lazy and fake beggars who don't want to work. If there is no way to save them, they beat him up and throw them next door.

Those who can travel thousands of miles to be beggars from outside are basically not able to move their legs. The people of Qiongzhou City didn't live very well, so how could they have so much spare money to support lazy people. As long as life is forced to be helpless, and give them the opportunity to support themselves, it is impossible to refuse Jiang Chaosheng's arrangement. Guys with ulterior motives, then check, find out the problem and go to jail. Although Qiongzhou City is very short of people, the lack of people will not affect their fight against crimes.

Taking in beggars is also one of the means to increase the population of Qiongzhou City. Even though the beggars are disheveled and their identities are low, they are well-informed and have their own channels. The life of beggars who have just come to Qiongzhou City has changed, and those who are interested naturally try to come to Qiongzhou City to seek a life. Jiang Chaosheng sighed when he thought of the reason they used such a method: "We still have too few people."

Ji Xuanbing grabbed Jiang Chaosheng's hand: "It doesn't matter, there are few people on land, you still have people in the sea, and my people divide you half."

Jiang Chaosheng was very moved, but he still politely rejected Ji Xuanbing's proposal. The deep sea is full of fish, shrimps, shrimps, or monsters. Not to mention that the seamen are very unaccustomed to going ashore. Even if they are willing to bite the bullet and communicate with humans, these people in Qiongzhou City will definitely not accept it.

"Distance produces beauty, and everyone should stay in a place they are familiar with." Jiang Chaosheng has seen more prosperous cities and knows his own strengths and weaknesses. There is no place for inferiority, but it is not arrogant. It's not as prosperous as Kyoto, but it doesn't matter, Qiongzhou City will surpass them in the future. And with you by my side, watching it get better and better little by little, isn't that a great thing?"

If the predecessors have done everything, then the younger generation has nothing to do. Jiang Chaosheng looked at Ji Xuanbing's stomach tenderly, "We always have to leave some things for Xiaoxiaobing to do."

Ji Xuanbing bit into a bunch of candied haws, and agreed with it: "My husband is really wise and martial, you are right!"

They walked halfway down the street, and when they turned at a high archway made of white marble, Jiang Chaosheng had two more chubby coconuts, a grilled fish and a vermicelli with garlic.

On a hot day, many people have no appetite, so they need to press down on something with a strong taste. Like some hot rice noodles and hot soup, it is not as popular as barbecue. The price of Qiongzhou Island is low, and all kinds of grilled seafood are very cheap.

At the moment of passing the corner, Ji Xuanbing, who stopped to eat the fans, suddenly asked: "Chaosheng, it's not that there are no beggars in Qiongzhou City, what's the matter with that dirty and tattered guy?"

Jiang Chaosheng glanced in the direction of his slender white fingers, and between the lights and flints, he snapped away Ji Xuanbing: "Get out of the way!"

It was the assassin who pretended to be a beggar who was swooping over like a tiger. It was too late, and Jiang Chaosheng kicked it. The beggars with sharp knives flew several meters away, floating like a kite with a broken string. He went out and fell heavily to the ground. To be precise, the other party directly hit the branch of the tree, the internal organs shifted, and the blood spit out from the mouth stained the falling green leaves.

Pulling Ji Xuanbing to another direction, kicking the man out with one kick, and pulling back the little mermaid who fell backward due to inertia, these actions actually only happened in the blink of an eye.

Even when the assassin was vomiting blood, Jiang Chaosheng covered Ji Xuanbing's eyes very considerately: "This kind of guy is nothing to look at, let's go back." In a **** and violent situation, it is not suitable for a pregnant little merman to watch it. Not the category of healthy prenatal education.

The elf in Ji Xuanbing's thick long hair moved his ears: "I heard someone coming."

"It should be the guards patrolling nearby." There are indeed many people patrolling in the city, but after all, they are ordinary human beings, and it is impossible to monitor every place on the streets and alleys 24 hours a day like electronic eyes. Even in the world where Jiang Chaosheng lives, when there is no turmoil and the world is peaceful, bad things happen all the time.

Sure enough, the patrol guards who heard the movement came over from the other side of the alley. Seeing this situation, they hurriedly knelt down and apologized.

Jiang Chaosheng raised his sleeves, and did not mean to be held accountable at this time: "Drag the assassin away and go down for interrogation."

Just as they relaxed, a man wearing patrol clothes carried the assassin past Ji Xuanbing, and then threw a small blue bottle at Ji Xuanbing.

Ji Xuanbing's skill is actually no worse than Jiang Chaosheng's. He reached out and caught the "hidden weapon" that flew over.

To be precise, the little merman who was too strong directly smashed the hidden weapon, the small bottle shattered, and the transparent and colorless liquid inside fell to the ground. It did not corrode any big holes as everyone imagined, but slowly flowing on the ground.

"It seems to be just water inside." Ji Xuanbing took a sniff and felt that the smell was somewhat familiar.

Jiang Chaosheng didn't stop him too much, because he was also sure that the contents in this small bottle were non-toxic and harmless. I don't know if someone with good intentions changed the bottle or the reckless assassin took it wrong.

He was about to personally interrogate the later assassins, when he heard the man who was restrained in the first place make a striking exclamation: "Monster, he is a monster!"

"What monster?" Ji Xuanbing, who realized that something was wrong, lowered his head subconsciously, and then found that his trouser legs were stretched into rags. Even if he tried hard to hide the exposed tail at the first time, under the eyes of the public, he His legs were still uncontrolled and turned into a full fish tail.
