Chapter 89: Ye Father
Tsui is a small city in Yunmengze. When King Zhao ran away, Yin Zixi used King Zhao's carriage and flag to use Tsui as the king's capital to gather the escaped people and calm people's hearts. During the national crisis, the Tsui town, which was a fake capital, was actually very small. The city was only twelve miles around Tuyu. When Xiong Jing was about to enter the city, he found that he was lost.
"Is it wrong?" Xiong Jing murmured like this when he saw the words at the top of the city. This is not a spike in the universe, this is Yefu in the universe.
"Big..." Mi Xuan called out the wrong word again, she stuck out her tongue and said, "How was it wrong?"
"No, no, this is a good thing." Xiong Jing smiled. "I thought it was going south, but I didn't want the animal to run to the southwest."
Xiong Jing said that he was dissatisfied under his crotch. The beast was spiritual and sprayed a few times to express his dissatisfaction. Jing had already dismounted and helped Mi Xuan get off the horse. The common people entered the city not only had to go to the side door, but also had to get off the horse. Dissatisfied was not a dragon horse, but a military horse. Xiong Jing and Mi Xuan's clothes were also the clothes of the common people, and the dress of the common people seemed to be inconspicuous.
However, the two of them are different from the common people after all, especially their height. Xiong Jing has been growing taller, and his current height is seven feet and six inches even when he is on the Qin ruler; Mi Xuan was eight or seven inches taller than nine years ago, but now he is more than seven feet taller. Such height makes the two of them stand out among the common people, and they will inevitably be noticed.
Note that the soldiers at the gate of the city did not stop them. Although the two were dressed up by common people, they had fair skin and no garbled eyes, and their eyes were not as dull as those of the common people. Even if they were common people, they would not be ordinary common people, and they were likely servants of noble families. This was what the slaughtered fish in Yefu's first thought.
The Chu State recovered the old Ying State and slaughtered all the officials, but there is an exception to the officials, that is, officials with a background of clan tyrants. The interests of the clan and the interests of the powerful were once the objects of suppression by Qin State, but now they are the objects of cooperation with the Chu State. Unless the land is tight, the sealing of the villages is generally not enfeoffed in the villages where the clan tyrants are located, but in areas without clan tyrants.
The honorary scholars and clans, and the powerful are organizations of the same nature in the political genealogy of Chu. These organizations are piled up to be the grassroots of Chu. Everything has both positive and negative sides. The clan tyrants and powerful people in the villages will be rampant, and the scattered common people will be bullied by the clan tyrants.
If the country is governed by officials, they will naturally restrict the clans in the name of protecting the common people and crack down on the powerful. If they do not do so, the hidden households will be formed under the protection of the clan tyrants, which will affect the government's tax collection and the government's demolition. For the government, the more fragmented the common people, the more convenient it will be. Don't think that the squeezed people's fat and people's fat and people's fat and people's fat and people's fat and people's fat and people's fat and people's fat and people's fat and people's fat and people's fat and people's fat and people's fat and people's fat and people's fat and people's fat and people's fat and people's thick and thin will be filled with private pockets by officials.
If that is the case, why do you need middlemen to make a difference? Remove officials, recognize the clan, the sphere of influence of the powerful, and pay the money according to the urgency and importance of the matter. If their power is large enough and there are enough strong men, then you can stand in the dynasty and participate in the national affairs. This efficiency is much more efficient than that of officials in governing the country, but in this way, the common people will be bullied.
How to choose between the two depends on the past. Because of historical reasons, Qin chose the former; also because of historical reasons, Chu could only choose the latter.
Yu, a slaughter of the slaughter of Yunmeng, was an official with a powerful background in Yunmeng. There was nothing extraordinary except for specialties. After Yefu was granted the gift from him, he came to Yefu twice. The first time was to come for the slaughter of the second time. Yu, the previous slaughter of Yu, was appointed as the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter of the slaughter
Yefu's city is smaller than the Tsai City, and the city is only six miles away. When the soldiers of the town reported that a man and a woman entered the city, the town slaughtered two servants to see what happened. The first judgment of the servants was that the two should be servants of the noble family. Then they looked at Xiong Jing hanging a sword on the left, and corrected this judgment, saying that they were servants of the noble family.
"That woman, the woman is beautiful!" Mi Xuan's decoration was plain, but it still attracted people's attention. The servant who reported to the fish looked like a pig brother, and his saliva was almost flowing out: "If you are not married, why not present him to the general? The general will be very happy."
"No. Men and women hold hands to enter the market, women will not want to." Brother Zhu forgot something else when he saw Mi Xuan's appearance. Fortunately, he was not alone to investigate, and there was another person besides him.
The two servants had different opinions, but Brother Zhu’s proposal was very tempting. If he was really a beauty, he would definitely be happy to offer it to the raising of the lord. How could fish not consider the lord’s sexual blessings?
"Where are they?" Yu decided to look at him. He was afraid that the servants' aesthetic ability was insufficient, so he regarded the village woman as a beauty.
"In the big market." Brother Zhu bowed, and he began to drool again.
"How much does it cost to children?" In the city, Xiong Jing had already bought a double-shaft cart, and now he had to buy two slaves. His accent was not the pure old Ying accent, but the authentic Dongdi accent. This caused him a lot of losses and made the merchants in the city much more enthusiastic.
"Child..." Looking at the fat sheep in front of you, the man outside the cow and horse pen had his eyes rolling, and finally said, "It's two thousand yuan."
The gangster is a child price as a slave price. Xiong Jing laughed when he heard it. Although he didn't pay much attention to the government, he still knew the price. "This price is not true."
He shook his head and looked back at Mi Xuan sitting on the shaft of the car, leading her to leave. Mi Xuan also smiled at him. No matter the dynasty, women always like to spend money to shop, such as pillows, bedding clothes or she chose them herself. When each item is put into the car, her heart will be filled with one, and she will smile more.
Xiong Jing wanted to leave, and an old man in the railing stepped out: "My son, please stay." When Xiong Jing turned around, he said: "There is indeed untrue in this price. However, this child is not an ordinary boy. If my son wants to buy it, it can be eight thousand coins. If he has a mother, it can be twenty thousand coins."
Xiong Jing naturally had a very picky vision. The other boys were boys from poor families, and this tender skin would naturally not be boys from ordinary families. At this time, the gang took another female slave out of the cow and horse pen. The female slave kept bowing her head, but she felt that her appearance was not ugly.
"What kind of origin do you have?" Xiong Jing was very worried that he was the wife of the Qin official.
"It was a Qin concubine who died in the government when he lived in the capital." The old man walked in and looked at Xiong Jing carefully. When he was about to say something, Xiong Jing said, "Look up."
The woman raised her head. This is an ordinary woman, very thin, her eyes are not agile, and full of fear. Xiong Jing turned to look at Mi Xuan, and Mi Xuan also saw the woman's appearance clearly. The slaves sold on the market are very pitiful, but there are very few pitiful eyes. Mi Xuan nodded gently because of her pity.
"Twenty-one thousand yuan?" Xiong Jing looked at the boss again, and he habitually bargained.
"You can save another 600 yuan." The old man said a price and made an exaggerated gesture.
"How about two golds?" Xiong Jing doesn't like small amounts, two golds are 19,200 coins.
"Yes! Yes!" Not to mention the boss, the murderer around him was also very happy. Seeing them happy, Xiong Jing secretly complained that he had forgotten the exchange rate.
When the Qin people ruled the old Ying, they used Qin Banliang. In addition to collecting taxes, the government could also collect taxes in disguise by issuing additional currency. If other countries do this, merchants would definitely use new money to squeeze money governments in various countries, demanding to exchange gold and silver, causing chaos in the market. King Zhuang of Chu despised Chu money for being too small, so he cast big coins. As a result, "the people (merchants) were inconvenient and they all left their business." In the end, they had to abolish the big coins and still used small coins. This was not an additional new money, but an increase in the cost of making money. Maybe he wanted to sell more copper.
The Qin State did not care about merchants, and they were not worried about chaos in the market, and there was no obstacle to the issuance of currency. King Huiwen of Qin's "first money", all the Qin half liang issued was heavy, with a diameter of three centimeters and a twelve Qin zhu, weighing eight grams. By the later period, the Qin half liang issued was only two centimeters in diameter, and the weight was less than three grams. The coins minted before were still very exquisite, but they were very rough in the later period. First, they were cast in bronze, and the bronze was doped more and more in the later period, so they simply cast iron Qin half liang.
The Qin law also stipulates: "If you are a member of the Jia market and the officials in the government, do not dare to choose money or cloth; if you choose money or cloth, the chief of the ranks will not tell you. If the officials follow the matter carefully, they will be guilty." This means that you cannot "choose" money and cannot be picky, otherwise you will be guilty.
The State of Chu regained Nanjun and established another rule, using Chu money to exchange Qin half liang in the hands of the common people. Of course, it was impossible to exchange one for one; it did not dare to suffer too much, and it was finally settled at one for one for one for two.
Since he had already said to pay two gold, Xiong Jing paid two gold. When the man was making the contract, he turned to look at Mi Xuan. She had asked the servant to sit in the car, and the woman was sitting on the shaft of the other side. She was so stressed that she was dissatisfied and wanted to stick her hooves. Xiong Jing hurried forward to comfort her, thinking whether she wanted to buy a horse to pick up.
"What do you want to buy if you are not satisfied? It may be helpful to others." The old man smiled, and his name changed from a "my son" who expressed his affection to a "six" full of respect - Xiong Jing paid not gold coins, but two versions of gold, and gold was not something that ordinary people could have.
"I still want to buy a horse." Xiong Jing looked at the cattle and horse in the pen again. "But I don't know where the philistines in this market are?"
"I dare to ask, the search for someone is..." Laozi's voice rose. The stern and the stern are different, although both are intermediaries, similar to the later stern people. The stern is an intermediary for cows, horses, and slaves, while the stern is an intermediary for other transactions.
"Can there be houses outside this town?" Xiong Jing asked. Ye's father was a small town and he didn't fight the market, so there might not be any tyrants.
"Stop, wait a moment." After the old man said that, he hurriedly told the man in the ear of the man, and the man entered the crowd and disappeared immediately.
Xiong Jing looked at his expression and felt that there was either a tyrant or a house. During the waiting period, he had to choose another horse to pick up the cart and replace the person who was dragging the cart. Mi Xuan did not sit in the cart, but held his hand and selected the horses together.
