Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 115

After saying that, Li Tai looked at the number plate in his hand again and said, "Go, I want to see now, who else dares to stop me!"

"Yes." The follower replied, and then followed up.

After all, the reputation of Taiping Restaurant is full of Tang Dynasty, and he has always wanted to try it.

…………

In the middle of the night, Luo Bin fulfilled his promise and took Dou Yinger out for a stroll.

The night of the Tang Dynasty is supported by the faint light from the candles, and the warm lights soften the whole of the Tang Dynasty.

Dou Yinger ran excitedly in the market, all the stalls during the day were put away, only one selling candied haws was still there.

It may be that the stall owner is too old and walks slowly.

"Uncle, wait a minute." Dou Yinger suddenly called out.

"I'll go." Luo Bin grabbed Dou Yinger.

Although it has been a long time since Dou Yinger assassinated Li Shimin, after all, Li Shimin was the guard who was removed only a few days ago.

"Oh, it's okay, that portrait didn't really look like it."

Dou Yinger waved her hand, then stepped forward and said, "Uncle, I want to buy a bunch of candied haws, do you want it?"

After saying that, Dou Yinger looked up at Luo Bin again.

"No." Luo Bin shook his head.

Seeing this, the old man smiled, and then handed Dou Yinger a bunch of candied haws, "The little girl looks so familiar."

"How is it possible? I haven't had it for more than a month..."

Before Dou Yinger finished speaking, Luo Bin interrupted, "It's normal for the old man to think my sister looks familiar. She loves candied haws the most. She must have come here often before."

The old man nodded when he heard the words, took the money with a smile and left.

It wasn't until the old man walked away that Luo Bin frowned and looked at Dou Yinger and said, "Look, an old man of this age has an impression of your face, now you know why I don't let you go out."

"Then when will they forget me?"

Dou Yinger leaned against the wall by the side of the road helplessly, with a look of bitterness and hatred.

Luo Bin raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "I don't know. After all, your face has been hanging in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City for more than a month. Everyone should have an impression of you."

"..."

After hearing Luo Bin's words, Dou Yinger became even more depressed, and immediately lost interest in shopping, she got up and glanced at Luo Bin and said: "Forget it, go back to the house, there are more people in front, it will be bad if something happens." .”

"En." Luo Bin responded, then looked at Dou Yinger with some amusement, and comforted: "Actually, you don't have to be too annoying."

"Don't you girls know how to wear makeup? You can change your makeup in a few days."

"And your clothes, you can also wear some different styles, and you can also change your hair bun, and then you can also have a few moles on the more obvious places on your face, or draw some birthmarks and the like."

"There is a gap between portraits and people. If you change them properly, they may not be able to recognize them at all."

Dou Ying'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Yes, why didn't I think of that?"

"You come out with me again tomorrow night, I'll make sure, and then we'll go to places with a lot of people, if we're recognized, we'll run away!"

"..."

Luo Bin glanced at Dou Yinger as if looking at a fool, but in the end he didn't say anything.

…………

And state.

After a day off, Hou Junji felt much better. He sat on the desk and took a sip of tea, then raised his eyebrows and said, "Did you go to the border to check today?"

"But there are still people who are not afraid of death to set up stalls there?"

Hearing this, the soldier on the side leaned over and replied: "General, I have sent someone out to investigate just now, and no one has gone to set up a stall."

"But there are still people who go to the Turkic merchants to buy things."

"What?" Hou Junji was furious when he heard the words, frowned and said, "Is it because the things from my Tang Dynasty don't work or what? Do you have to go to Turkic to buy them?"

After finishing speaking, Hou Junji pursed his lips again and said, "From now on, we will send people to guard the border every day, and resolutely put an end to the transactions between the Tang people and the Turks!"

"Yes." The soldier replied.

"If there are still Tang people who are disobedient, they will all be put in prison to reflect!" Hou Junji frowned and said.

After saying that, Hou Junji raised his eyebrows as if he had thought of something, "Since the businessmen in Bingzhou like to make money so much, their family assets must be relatively rich."

"Pass down the order to impose heavy taxes on merchants, and the taxes they pay should be three times that of ordinary people!"

"Yes, I'll do it now, little one." The soldier cupped his hands, and immediately went out to collect taxes.

Merchants in Bingzhou also mourned after hearing this policy, but they were unable to compete with the officers and soldiers, so they could only obediently pay the money.

"What a sin!"

"Originally, if the border trade transaction is cancelled, our family will have no profitable business, but now we have to impose heavy taxes on us. This is not letting us live!"

"Who says it's not, I also have a big family to support and I can't open a small shop to do business. Although I do earn a lot, there is also a family that needs me to support. I don't have much money every month. Yu, now I have to pay three times the tax, what can I do!"

"I'm even worse. My business was small and I didn't make much money. Now I'm so poor that I can't afford food."

"Why do you say that there is such a big difference between people? When Lord Hou was in charge of Bingzhou, we were the richest in Bingzhou. Now that General Hou comes, we are afraid that we will become the poorest."

"Look, it's Lord Hou's Beiwei army!"

Someone in the crowd yelled, and everyone's eyes were immediately focused on one place, and they quickly ran towards the Beiwei army.

The Beiwei army patrolling over there also frowned when they saw this. Ever since they learned about the new policy issued by Hou Junji, they have been carefully avoiding the people of Bingzhou, just because they were afraid of being pestered and questioned. After all, they were just small soldiers. , for Hou Junji, they also have nothing to do.

"Master Jun, you are soldiers of Lord Hou. You have to take care of this matter. We really can't afford to pay three times the tax."

All the Beiwei soldiers frowned when they heard the words, "Sorry, we have no way to influence the general's decision."

"This won't work, how will we ordinary people live!" Hearing this, everyone became even more anxious.

One of the aunts even sat down on the ground and cried, "I'm just a steamed bun seller, why do you still count my wife as a businessman?"

"Originally, it's not easy for me, an old woman, to support two grandchildren by myself. If I add so much tax to my old woman, won't it kill me again!"

"Don't cry, aunt, you get up first."
