Chapter 59 A Day in the Capital

Vivid people's lives, more than the cold and cautious text on the folders can reflect the public sentiment of this era.

Zhu Yuanzhang from the reckless, Zhu Yunzhang has a restless soul, the two men in the city outside the city shop for a long time.

A moment to go to the grain store to see the price of rice, through the price of rice will be able to know the two years of the real fall harvest, the capital rice prices a little more expensive, a stone of rice to a hang Hongwu Tongbao, about eight money silver. A stone of rice is almost one hundred and twenty pounds, at this time a catty and sixteen two.

Combined with today's prices, Zhu Yunzhang thought that this price is quite okay. While Zhu Yuanzhang felt slightly cheaper, grain cheap hurt farmers, food harvest makes the price cheaper, on the contrary, not much good for the people who planted the land.

And went to the cloth and silk store satin manor to look at, keep warm think beautiful, people eat enough to have money in their pockets to think about how to dress, and shopkeeper chat a few words, the two years of the capital to buy silk is indeed more people. However, most of them are rich and powerful family, the people can only bear to buy some when they marry.

The treasurer of the silk manor, obviously a rich merchant but wearing coarse cloth clothes, some helplessness between words, said that if the imperial court allows merchants to wear silk as well, then this business will be better.

Zhu Yun Yun really afraid of the old man on the spot to let people kill the silk merchants, not allowed to wear silk merchants, this is the old man after the founding of the law.

I did not expect the master did not get angry, just not salty, said the emperor, although the master said that you do not wear, but privately you are not less wear these treacherous businessmen. The people of the world are suffering, you wear gold with silver, the people see how to think.

Rich people, hidden in the home they know on it, all over the world to show what? If the whole world see, all learn to go to the business, who fucking planting.

Zhu Yunyun dumbfounded, the old man cute. This old man is probably the most important emperor of the past and present on agriculture, he in his heart stubbornly believe that the most beneficial to the country, the most people can live peacefully in the occupation, is planting.

However, although it is out to skulk, but the world is clear all learning. The old man's words and actions always reflected a wealth of experience in governing the country, as well as the philosophy of life. Zhu Yun Yun accompanied the old master like a good boy, carefully memorizing his insights and reasoning in his mind.

This action of his was seen by Zhu Yuanzhang, who also secretly nodded his head. The old man likes obedient and studious children, smart talent should be used in the right place old people are only happy.

Then the master and the two in the city to stroll around, lively place to go, the old man in a good mood, only in the widow Wang diagonal street, looks some face unhappy.

In the afternoon, those hook bar restaurant began to open, every now and then a few scholar, or look at the rich and powerful businessmen, in this place.

The street is full of rouge fragrance, let the heart itch. Draped in a light veil of the age of women, holding a round fan made of silk, lazily sitting on the second floor window sill, half cover the pretty face to the passers-by want to say still shy.

And those who stand by the door of the half-aged women, is bold eyes, the handkerchief in the hand can not stop wiping the head, does not exist in the sweat, revealing half of the white as jade-like smooth arm.

Yingtian City has been the ancient capital of six dynasties since ancient times, the land of smoke and powder. The singing and dancing boats on the Qinhuai River shuttled day and night with lights. Those are all famous artists, ordinary people easily can not go. The women on the boat are all poetry, calligraphy, zither and painting at their fingertips, entertaining the literati.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

And the widow of this Wang diagonal street is more direct some, the girls in the courtyard are to color people, in other arts and crafts is not outstanding, occasionally some talent, but is the xiao sound and so on.

This kind of old business simply never, there is a need, there is a market. As long as there are still men in the world, this business can continue.

Zhu Yuanzhang old man cursed, what hurt the wind, the world trend is declining. People who come here for pleasure are all fed up and don't know how much they weigh.

Zhu Yun is to see the enjoyment, the eyes fell on a red sleeve building on the second floor window, the beautiful woman on the body hehehe straight smile.

Is to see the addiction, but do not know a pair of big hands a cover his eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang while covering his eyes, while pulling him forward, mouth still chanting, "big Sun, can not see. These vixens are not good things, turn around when you get married, grandpa will pick you some dainty big beauties, better than this!"

"Goryeo side sent women are also quite good, turn around before you get married, grandpa give you a few."

It was not until he walked out of the street that his eyes were loosened by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yunzhang is curious, "Grandpa, since you don't like to be in these smoky alleys, wouldn't it be fine to directly decree a ban?"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and laughed bitterly, "When the emperor can not control everything, control the sky and land also control people this. Men who do not cheat, this thing is banned, how many people scolded your grandfather?"

In fact, there is a point that the old man did not say, Yingtian Qinhuai River, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places in the fireworks, every year will pay a lot of cash taxes to the government, which is not small money.

For example, now an ordinary boat on the Qinhuai River, the annual license money is as high as fifty taels of cash silver or so, and a courtyard is as high as one hundred taels. If it is those famous artists, and those higher level private clubs ..... No, it is the teahouse, the license money is even more.

This is not only a tax issue, in the eyes of the Ming courtiers, this is an industry about people's livelihood. Every night the Qinhuai River is brightly lit, with a steady stream of passing boats, and the entertainment industry can often lead to local employment.

Hawkers sold food, daily necessities, and rouge and powder. Farmers carrying their own fresh vegetables, fishermen's fish and shrimp, as well as sedan chair bearers and carriage owners, they all have income and income.

If it is really rough cut, not to mention the Qinhuai River and the hooker restaurant girls, guests have no place to go. Is relying on these people to live in other industries, are going to fall.

Moreover, this thing can't be cut cleanly. This kind of business goes underground, not only is it a loss of tax revenue for the local government, but the management is also inconvenient and the security is not cheap. (bianyi)

Therefore, modern people are not qualified to laugh at the ancients, because everything now is based on the cleverness and experience of the ancients.

But the old man's smile in the next street, suddenly solidified, and even became a bit hideous.

Next to the Widow Wang diagonal street in the smoke bag alley, in front of a seemingly ordinary residential house, but there are many stout men looking east and west, some like lookout.

There were constantly men of all colors, cheerfully going in. But there are also constantly people hanging their heads disheartened out, and there are even people in the door, squatting in the corner bawling.

For these people, the lookout of the men to persuade, and then either help to send away, or reach out to let the carriage sedan chair parked at the street corner over, they give money, let the downcast people sit and leave.

Zhu Yun Yun, who had driven a net car in his last life, was naturally no stranger to this kind of place.

"Da Sun, do you know what this place is?" Zhu Yuanzhang's words carried a murderous aura.

Zhu Yunzhang whispered, "Gambling house!"

"Come here!" Zhu Yuanzhang beckoned, Liao Ming immediately stepped forward, "Master, what are your orders?"

"Check, who ate the leopard's guts to open this in the capital city, check for us!" Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth, "How dare you do a business that wreaks havoc on people, you're really not afraid of death!"

"It's over, someone's head is going to fall to the ground!" Zhu Yunzhang thought to himself.

The old master is still tolerant and understanding of the smoky alley. But it seems that the gambling house is abhorrent.

Liao Ming nodded in response and turned back to give a few orders to a warrior, who flew off.

Zhu Yuanzhang kept his face gloomy, seemingly with no intention of continuing to skulk around.

"Grandpa, calm down." Zhu Yunzhang advised, "You have said that the Emperor cannot control the sky and the earth, the world is too big, there is always a place that cannot be controlled. The world is too big, there is always not afraid to die, you say is not it!"

"But not because the world is too big to pipe over and not care." Zhu Yuanzhang squarely said, "Just like, just like ........."

Zhu Yun Yun interface laughed, "Just like the grandson reading, Han Zhaolie Emperor, do not take the good small but not do!"

"On this reasoning!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, "Our big Sun reading reading good!" Said, suddenly nose movement, "what flavor, so fragrant?"
