Chapter 710: King as a Rock

Leaving the Jiangnan Gongyuan and walking out of the Confucius Temple area, Lu Li and the others mounted their horses again, and the maid who followed Danniang and Miss Xiaodie also boarded the felt cart.

At this time, Yang Zhen, the leader of the guards, suddenly spoke and said in a deep voice, "My lord, that fake Confucian scholar is still staring at us."

"Why don't you teach him a lesson? Zuo Zuo is just a juren, and he will catch a lot of people in the south of the Yangtze River."

Juren?

So flattering that guy.

If he really had fame and fame, he would never act so frivolously. Lu Li estimated that he was at most a sour scholar.

In fact, the most likely situation is that the family has a little influence, and they paid for the name of a child, so if it is spread out, it can be regarded as a scholar.

At the same time, noticing that a pair of clear eyes were staring at him, Lu Li simply handed over the decision and asked with a smile, "How do you want to deal with that prodigal son?"

"You also said that you are a floating wave. It is clear that you are the most famous floating wave in our Jinling City."

Danniang lightly pinched Lu Li's waist, gradually restrained her smile, and said seriously, "Don't talk to him."

"You are an actor from a humble family, why do you bother to stand up for me and cause some troubles? You must know that those Confucian scholars like to form cliques the most. If you provoke one, you will provoke a group."

"Besides, that person just looked at me a few times, so you have to send someone to teach you a lesson. What will you do in the future? It's impossible to teach me to live in a secluded boudoir and not go anywhere."

Because she was in public, Danniang couldn't do some personal gestures, so she could only whisper:

"Good sir, don't be angry."

For a moment, Lu Li had mixed feelings in his heart. He wanted to smile at the beautiful woman, but he was taught a lesson instead. Of course, this kind of lesson made him very happy.

For a moment, Lu Li even felt that for the sake of the people in front of him, he could do what King Zhou You did to play with the princes.

Of course, his introverted personality is doomed not to say any love words, but he just exerted a little force on the hand around Danniang's waist, making it get closer to him.

After the question and answer, the surroundings fell silent, as if only the sound of horseshoes colliding with the ground remained in the air.

Yang Zhen, the leader of the guards, naturally had that vision and didn't bother him anymore, but he changed his mind about the girl who was about to enter the Hou's mansion.

I thought she was favored by virtue of her beauty, but I didn't expect her personality to be so generous and sensible, which is different from the usual brothel prostitutes who are proud of being favored.

Of course, this may also be a means.

Anyway, Yang Zhen has already made up his mind to please this lady in the future.

Beimen Bridge, Sanpailou.

These places are crowded with people, far more lively than the Qinhuai River.

After all, unlike the Tang Dynasty, Minfang was a folkfang, and the commercial district was a commercial district. In the mode of separate management, the shops in the Ming Dynasty were scattered, and almost every street had more than a dozen households operating their businesses. It is a prosperous area, especially in a prosperous area, with the feeling of an urban business district in later generations.

It's also interesting to say.

The Taizu of this dynasty hated those who were idle and did not produce. Therefore, when formulating household registration, there was no such thing as business registration.

Scholars, farmers, workers, music, army...

The father is a craftsman, so the son will inherit his father's business in the future, and the son will also be a craftsman. The father is a soldier in the guard, and the son will also have to go to the guard when he becomes a man.

People all over the world perform their duties.

Only there is no business registration!

However, can a civilized society lack the role of merchants?

Especially in a rich place like Jiangnan.

The major salt merchants competed for wealth and invented the way of eating Youcai, that is, hundreds of dishes were prepared for each meal. If the owner felt that the dish was not satisfactory, he would immediately remove it and serve a new one.

In addition, there are rich people who buy gold leaf with tens of thousands of taels of silver, and after climbing up to the tall building, they scatter it at will and let the people downstairs loot it.

Ever since, the most outrageous and magical thing happened, these wealthy businessmen were actually peasants!

As the saying goes, there are policies above and countermeasures below.

Merchants bought a large number of fields, and if any serious officials asked about it, they would insist that their main business was collecting land rent.

And the reason why this group of people tried every means to turn themselves into farmers, in the final analysis, is because the country of this dynasty is originally a farmer.

The Taizu had a system. Except for officials, people who farm land are the most noble and innocent. After all, everyone has to eat.

In this way, the gap between farmers is ridiculously large. Those who really support their families by farming are only glorious in name, while fake farmers...enjoy all kinds of conveniences.

"There are pros and cons. The city can be so prosperous without these businessmen."

Lu Li was grateful for a moment, and he came and went as fast as he could. After calming down, he hugged the beautiful woman in his arms and continued on his way.

On the west bank of the Qinhuai River, south of the imperial city.

A not-so-big mansion is the Henan Marquis Mansion. It looks inconspicuous, not to mention compared with nobles of the same level, it is also slightly inferior to some earl's mansions, but there is a team of armored soldiers outside the door guard!

And the guard at the gate knew his young master, saw it from a distance, and hurriedly opened the corner door, bowing to the door.

"Young Lord, you are back."

Lu Li nodded, first helped Danniang off the horse, and then handed over the reins to the servant.

From the beginning to the end, the black-maned horse behaved extraordinarily well-behaved. Before leaving, he lowered his head and rubbed his head against Tanniang's palm.

"Young master."

Hearing movement outside, a young man in green clothes immediately came up from the upside-down room, and when he got close to Lu Li, he quickly lowered his voice and said:

"Master Hou came back from court, full of anger."

"Think about it, what did you do?"

Yandu went to the court to see how the emperor was feeling, but Jinling's left-behind officials would go to the court every day, and they were almost unstoppable. It was just that they went to the court for themselves, and they didn't actually have much work. Yamen, take a formality.

In my memory, Daddy Cheap was in charge of the Wucheng Military Division, drinking tea and chatting with his colleagues all day long. The smile on his face never broke, no matter who he met, he always greeted him with a smile.

He is in a high position and has a good temper. Therefore, not only the great nobles on Jinling's side are willing to give face, but also on Yandu's side.

under a virtuous circle.

Lu Li had never seen Daddy Cheap get angry.

"Nothing wrong."

In the past few days, his itinerary was very simple, that is, the Jiaofang Division by the Qinhuai River.

Hearing this, the boy in Tsing Yi hastily reminded:

"I heard from the guards next to Master Hou that it was you who made the noise last night."

While speaking, he glanced at Danniang who was nestled in Lu Li's arms, hesitant to speak.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the meaning.

At night, the heirs of the Hou Mansion sent guards to break open the doors of the shops, forcing them to buy red candles, red happiness, and Fengguanxiapei.

This matter cannot be hidden at all, and the officialdom is the place with the best news, I am afraid that Lord Hou heard some rumors with added material when he went to court!

For a moment, Danniang panicked. She knew that Lu Li did this for her own sake, and she was very touched, but father is the guide for son!

Offending her father-in-law before entering the door, how can she have a good life in the future? For a while, this girl actually made up the scene of beating a mandarin duck in her own head. Looking at Lu Li, her voice choked up and said:

"The king is a rock, the concubine is a pampas grass, and the pampas grass is like silk, and the rock cannot be moved."

Sorry for the late update due to urgent matters at home.
