After time travel, my best friend and I exchanged supplies and became a rich woman

The other end.

Chen Dongyue took Taohong and the Zhang family to guard Feng Bei. They traveled day and night under the stars and the moon, and arrived at Yicheng, the capital of Qizhou, two days later.

Qizhou is a fiefdom of the King of Qi, and it is only three hundred miles away from the capital. It can be reached in one day with faster carriages and horses.

Rumor has it that King Qi loved the people very much.

When Liaozhou suffered natural and man-made disasters before, King Kang did not take the initiative to reduce his food supply.

However, because of the disaster in the neighboring state capital, the King of Qi specially donated food for relief, and exempted and exempted several towns and counties on the border with Liaozhou from food and salary collection.

In fact, King Kang is not too bad.

Although he didn't reduce or reduce taxes for the common people, he didn't charge them more, right?

But as the saying goes, there is only one word you are afraid of in life, and that is 'ratio'.

With King Qi as the control group, His Highness King Kang seemed less sensible.

"After all, His Highness Prince Qi is the most powerful," Taohong couldn't help but lift up the car curtain as she passed by the busy city of Yicheng and sighed: "My boss, look at this street, it's spacious and clean, and the people on the road are better dressed than we are in Liaocheng. .”

Chen Dongyue nodded, but smiled and said nothing.

Speaking of Taohong, this girl has always been very good at reading people's faces because she was personally taught by Mrs. Zhang.

When she saw that Chen Dongyue didn't answer, she asked again, "Master, is what I said wrong?"

"That's right and that's wrong." Chen Dongyue's answer seemed meaningful.

Taohong stretched her neck, waiting for her to continue.

But after waiting for a long time, Chen Dongyue actually had nothing to say.

what happened?

Has the boss changed his gender?

According to her personality, how could she even speak half a sentence?

What kind of evil wind did she blow on the road?

Thinking of this, Taohong silently took out a cotton cloak and leaned out to put it on Chen Dongyue.

At this time, the coachman Feng Bei spoke, "Dong Chen's family, we have entered Yicheng and the road is no longer bumpy. You have worked hard driving all the way. Do you want me to change with you? Can you come and sit in the carriage?" "

"You're welcome," Chen Dongyue waved her hand without looking back, "I can still look at the street view while sitting here!"

"But Mr. Chen, you are on the wrong road!" Feng Bei said helplessly: "We should have turned right at the corner ahead."

Chen Dongyue said angrily: "Didn't you tell me if I went wrong?!"

"When I wanted to say something, you came over immediately. I didn't have time to say it." Feng Bei muttered.

"Okay, okay, if you want to catch the carriage, just do it!" Chen Dongyue pulled over and stopped the carriage, finally returning the driving right to the driver.

Before, Chen Dongyue said that she didn't know how to drive a carriage, so she learned from Feng Bei.

Feng Bei never expected that once the driving right was released, there would be no chance to take it back.

Chen Dongyue, who has just learned to drive a cart, is not very good at driving horses, so she relies entirely on the horses' own whims.

Really, if the carriage given by Mrs. Zhang hadn't been strong enough, it would have been knocked apart.

At this time, Chen Dongyue willingly handed over the driving right to Feng Bei, mainly because she couldn't turn around.

Especially now that they were driving in a busy city, it was even more troublesome to turn the carriage around.

Fortunately, Feng Bei had been to Yicheng before, and he knew the way very well, so he drove the carriage in a circle and finally arrived at the inn where he was going to stay today.

Chen Dongyue stayed here this time. Because she already had an official status, the accommodation price was very cheap.

However, it was the first time that the Yi Cheng of the post station saw the female military attache, and he confirmed his identity with Chen Dongyue again and again before giving them a number plate.

At dinner, in order to express his apology to Chen Dongyue, Yi Cheng gave the three of them a few plates of side dishes as compensation.

Seeing that the Yi Cheng man was quite enthusiastic, Chen Dongyue casually chatted with him for a few words.

"Your Yicheng is really nice. The streets are very clean. It's much better than our Liaocheng city." Chen Dongyue complimented.

Yi Cheng looked modest and said: "Where is it? Although our Yicheng is clean and safe, with officers and soldiers patrolling the streets day and night, and there is not even a beggar to be found in the streets, your Liaocheng is not bad either... ..."

As for what was good about it, Yi Cheng couldn't say anything about it.

When Yi Cheng said this, Taohong and Feng Bei suddenly reacted.

Taohong covered her mouth and exclaimed: "That's right, you don't even have beggars here! The management is so good."

"Hahahaha," Yi Cheng probably felt honored, "Whenever there is a beggar here, His Highness King Qi will find someone to take him in.

Those with labor force will be given jobs, while the old, weak, sick and disabled without labor force will be sent to Anshou Hall outside the city for recuperation.

It is said that food and drinks at Anshou Tang are free of charge, and there are doctors to treat patients!

It is really a blessing for the people of Qizhou to have the protection of His Highness the King of Qi! "

"Oh?" Chen Dongyue suddenly became interested and asked, "Are these all said by the people who were taken in?"

"Isn't that true? We are not just hearsay people." Yi Cheng said: "There used to be an old beggar here who was lame. Later, he was taken to Anshou Hall outside the city by people from Prince Qi's Mansion. I saw him coming a while ago. Shopping for new year's goods.

The old man's legs were also healed, and he seemed to have gained some weight. He always said hello to everyone he met, His Highness King Qi!

But to be honest, His Highness King Qi's reputation in our Qizhou is not something that can be agreed upon by just one or two people. Even many officials in the capital say that His Highness's character is second to none. "

"Not bad, not bad," Chen Dongyue said with a smile on her face, nodding towards Yi Cheng: "Qizhou is blessed."

Yi Cheng happily responded a few more words, then excused himself and went about his business.

After the people left, Chen Dongyue's smile slowly faded.

Taohong was a little confused, so she lowered her voice and asked, "My boss, don't you like King Qi?"

"What do you like or dislike? I don't live in Qizhou." Chen Dongyue muttered in a low voice, "It's a good thing I don't live in Qizhou."

"Ah?" Taohong was puzzled, "Don't they all say Qizhou is good? Why..."

"Anyway, I always think this place is weird," Chen Dongyue lowered her voice and stretched out her neck toward Taohong, "Don't you think, although our Liaocheng is a mess, it feels more complicated when there are poor, rich, beggars, coolies and the like running around in the streets. normal.

After all, there should be poor and rich people in any place, right?

But there are no beggars in Yicheng! Can you imagine? There are no poor people in this place! !

We used to wish there were eight beggars every ten steps in Liaocheng. Even Dongcheng was a place where rich people lived. There were beggars squatting in front of restaurants and teahouses in almost every house.

Tell me, how could a prince, no matter how kind-hearted and wealthy he was, find jobs for beggars all over the city, and then provide food and medical care for him until the end of his life?

Is this normal? "

"Ah," Feng Bei hugged himself tightly, "When you said that about Chen Dongjia, I feel a little chill in my back."

"Why are you so cold? You don't live here!" Taohong glared at Feng Bei, then turned to Chen Dongyue and said: "My boss should have thought carefully. I originally thought this place was good, but I thought if our Jinyifang would be better in the future, It would be good to open a semicolon in Yicheng.

But when the boss said this, the servant remembered it.

Just now I went to the dry goods store next door to buy preserved fruits, and I happened to meet someone delivering the goods. Those people were all wearing the same clothes, shoes and hats.

At first I thought it was the owner's boy who came to load the goods in the shop, but the boy in the shop said that these people were all porters at the pier.

Isn’t it scary? The porters even dressed in uniform! "

"...What's so scary about wearing uniform clothes?" Feng Bei didn't understand.

"You're stupid!" Taohong glared at Feng Bei again, "It means that the porter business here is monopolized by a certain company!

Just think about it, among the porters, handymen, and laborers in Liaocheng, which one has the same uniform? !

They all get a day's wages for a day's work.

Although they don’t make much, they all get cash anyway, and no one can control them, right? "

"If we really want to talk about it in detail," Chen Dongyue suddenly frowned and said, "Actually, our porters and handymen in Liaocheng all have uniform uniforms."

"Ah?!" Taohong was shocked, "When did it happen? Why didn't this slave know?"

"How could you not know?" Chen Dongyue asked back, "Didn't you say before that our porters in Liaocheng dress the same as beggars?

Last time you and Liu Lu mistook the porter who was squatting at the door of the cloth shop waiting for groceries for a beggar, and then you even gave him three copper coins. What's wrong, you just forgot about it? "

"Pfft!" Taohong couldn't help laughing, "Master, these are two different things!"

"Okay, let's not have two different things. It's none of our business anyway." Chen Dongyue finished her last bite of rice, then put down her chopsticks and said, "Let's leave early tomorrow morning. This place doesn't match my aura."

Taohong and Feng Bei nodded naturally.

Initially, they didn't think it was anything, but when they think about it...

There are no poor people in this city...

It's really weird no matter how you think about it.
