I, the younger brother of King Zhou, lead the Taoist ancestors to do business

Chongdi.

Clouds always hang over Chongdi. Two big men took off their shirts and competed in an open space, surrounded by a crowd of clapping and applauding people.

The bloody goat's head hung from the mast, a trophy for anyone who could win a tournament.

The emaciated people laboriously hoe the ground with broken agricultural tools that are almost broken. Their sweat is almost shed, and their eyes are like coals that are about to be extinguished, as if they will die in the next moment.

There is always enough land to grow, because the people are getting fewer and fewer.

There is a solid city in the center of Chongdi, and the tops of the mansions in the city are built of big stones.

The facilities under the roof are rough and simple. A stone table with a size of one inch is placed on the hall, and the large and solid stone chairs are covered with tiger skins. The few remaining decorations in the hall are also large and imposing.

Nothing happened recently, Bei Bohou Chonghou Hu only got up when he woke up, he casually walked to the main hall with disheveled hair and clothes.

A group of beauties surrounded him soft and boneless, Qianqianyu hooked his skirt and whispered in his ear: "Master Hou~"

Chonghouhu laughed, hugged the beauty and walked to the chair.

When the dishes are presented, they are all big meat such as roasted whole lamb and roasted whole rabbit.

While he was drinking, his subordinates came to report to him.

"Master Hou, there is another dispute among the people, saying that they think there is too much work, there is little food, and the tax is too heavy..."

Chonghouhu snorted coldly, "This tax law has been in place since our ancestors. There has been more food in the past few years, so what if I increase the tax a little?"

The subordinate hesitated, but retreated anyway.

After the subordinate left, there was a sudden change in the hall.I saw two guards on the side suddenly drew their swords and wanted to stab him!

Chonghouhu sneered, he slammed the table, the chopsticks were bounced into his hands, he clenched the chopsticks tightly and stabbed at the two guards beside him.

"Puff——" The chopsticks were inserted straight into the guard's heart, and the guard fell down instantly, losing his vitality.

Hearing the movement in the hall, the guards outside the hall rushed in.They were shocked when they saw the two dead bodies lying on the ground, and then knelt down to plead guilty to Lord Hou.

The hall fell silent, and everyone could only hear Bei Bohou's deep laughter.

Chonghouhu's mood was unclear, not only the underground guards shivered, but also the beautiful woman on the side shrank her neck in fright, not daring to put her hands on Bei Bohou.

Just when everyone thought that Master Hou was going to be furious today, and a few lives would be lost in the palace.The white boots stepped on the floor, and a more majestic figure stood in the hall.

Everyone seemed to lose their heartbeat, Bei Bohou raised his eyes and moved his eyes to that person.

His eyes opened wide in an instant, and he hurriedly stood up from the stone chair.

"Big... Your Majesty!"

Everyone's brains went blank when they heard the word "King".

Because Chongdi was under the jurisdiction of Chonghouhu, they did not receive much favor from Yin Shang, and most of what they heard was news that the king had a bad temper.

Zishou is here, how can Chonghouhu stand still?

He hurried down and invited Zishou to his tiger seat.

After Zishou sat on it, his sitting posture was more majestic than that of Chonghouhu.

Chonghouhu winked at the beauties on the side, and the beauties instantly understood.

They smiled coquettishly, leaned close to Zishou weakly, and said charmingly: "My lord~"

When Zishou sat on the tiger leather seat, he finally felt better. Hearing this familiar tone, his face darkened, and he couldn't help covering his heart, as if something was about to roll out of his stomach.

He waved his hand and said in a stern tone, "Back off!"

The beauty trembled in fright, Chonghou Hu hurriedly told these people to retreat.

He thought: It seems that the king really favors Concubine Su, even if other women are beautiful and charming, the king doesn't even pay attention to them.

Chonghou Hu had been sitting on the tiger leather seat for a while, and the food had just arrived and was still hot, so he didn't eat a bite.

So he bent down and smiled and said to Zishou: "Your Majesty, you can try these dishes. I have been eating them all the time, no matter how much I eat, I will never get tired of eating them."

Zishou was used to eating Zisheng's specially developed dishes in Chaoge, and he lost his appetite when he saw these dishes that were still in the same taste as before.

He waved his hand and let people back down.

Chonghouhu wanted to say something more, but he kept his mouth shut.

Just as the servant removed the last plate of meat, Zishou looked away.

He asked, "What kind of meat is this?"

Chonghou Hu was flattered and said: "My lord, this is fox meat."

Zishou opened his eyes, and waved his hand down, "Leave this dish to Gu."

Chonghouhu didn't know why, so he watched the king finish the plate of meat.

The next day, it rained and the weather turned cooler.

Chonghouhu woke up and saw the king wearing a white feather coat standing under the eaves watching the rain.

The confidant was stunned, and he whispered to his Master Hou, "Master Hou, it's still summer, why is your majesty wearing winter clothes?"

Chonghou Hu was also taken aback when he saw Zishou's attire, but he was also one of the Sifang uncles after all, so he woke up instantly.

He knocked on the head of his confidant, "Presumptuous, the King is just right in this suit!"

After finishing speaking, he forced a smile on his face and walked towards Zishou, "Your Majesty's clothes are amazing to me!"

Zishou looked down at Chonghouhu, the corners of his lips raised, and he was obviously in a good mood.

"Ai Qing also noticed that this coat is not bad?"

As soon as Chonghou Hu saw Zishou's expression, he knew that he was in the right place!

He glanced at the phoenix feather coat, but unfortunately he was a big bastard and couldn't catch a single flower, but he still opened his mouth and praised: "Your Majesty wears this dress with extraordinary style! It's like a god descending into the world, majestic and majestic, Tall and burly, anyone who sees it will be in awe!"

Zi Shou smiled faintly, but he could still see the joy in him.

He said "hmm", tugged at the collar of his clothes and said, "This clothes is specially made by Zi Sheng with Feng Yu as an orphan."

Chonghouhu understood, he had heard that the king loved the regent deeply, and now he saw that it was true.

He tried to praise: "His Royal Highness the Regent is really kind to the king, and he actually found such a precious thing for the king."

The faint smile in Zishou's eyes solidified, he couldn't help laughing out loud, "That's right, what Ai Qing said is true."

Chonghouhu seemed to have found a way, "I recalled that I met His Highness in Chaoge back then. Although His Highness was young, his appearance was not so good, just like the little fairy boy in the sky that day. When he grows up, he will definitely fall in love with him." The beauty of the country!"

Zishou hissed, "Aiqing is very good at talking."

Chonghouhu found that the king's praise for himself was normal.If he praises the regent, he will make the king more happy than exaggerating the king!

After Chonghouhu discovered this, he always talked about the regent, and Zishou, who had always been unreasonable to anyone, also talked more.

Therefore, Chonghou Hu clapped his hands and quickly ordered people to see what the regent had done, so that he could show himself in front of the king.

As for the policy promulgated by the Prince Regent, they pick and choose when they see it, and if they see a good one, they try to move here, anyway, they can't suffer much.

-

The border is Xiqi City.

Xu Qingxue is worthy of being the person Zisheng specially picked out to be the city lord.Her organization is very clear, and her movements are more agile than Zisheng.

In just two days, she had cleared up all the things in the new city, and implemented the work-for-relief program for a day and a half, and things in the new city were on the right track.

At night, the candles are still lit.The maid put on her coat, she was coughing non-stop, her face was pale.

The maid said worriedly: "My lord, please rest quickly, we will do this tomorrow."

Xu Qingxue shook her head with a sweet smile, "It's nothing, I'm not sleepy right now, I can do more."

The maid bit her lip, and she finally said, "Even Your Highness doesn't want you to stay so late."

As soon as Xu Qingxue heard the word "Your Highness", Xu Qingxue's eyes lit up, and there was a lot of admiration in his eyes.

She put down her pen and sighed, "Okay, I'll rest now."

Bairi New Town.

At first, people in Xincheng looked worried when they heard that work was used instead of vibration.

Work... It's not that they don't want to, they haven't done hard work for several years

But they thought of the prosperity of Benxing City opposite, and their hesitation gradually disappeared. They gritted their teeth and prepared to give it a try.

At the end of the day, their backs are sore and they can't even lift their fingers after years of inactivity.

They went home with half a bag of grain, and the family members poured out the grain and took a look.

The old mother exclaimed: "So much food! This is as much food as Xiqi gave us for three or four days!"

Several people looked at each other, and they all saw surprises in each other's eyes.

It's a great day!

I can save for three or four days a day, and after ten days and a half a month, I am afraid that the food will have to be stored in tanks!

People living in this city haven't experienced the feeling of accumulating food for several years.

They who are used to sleeping late unexpectedly got up early the next day, and the momentum of the new city was obviously higher today.

They worked for three or four days in a row, and at dusk, a boy with a ram's horn staggered towards the shadows in the setting sun.

"Father! Mother!"

The couple happily held the child's hand. They were as happy to go home as before, but on the way back, they passed a food stall.

The food stall is newly opened, and the owner of the stall came here specially from Chaoge.

Because the new city was first seen, the regent ordered these stalls to be subsidized by the people of the new city.A snack only needs 10 catties of grain!

The captivating aroma captivates the soul of the child, the aroma of onion, ginger, garlic, and chili explodes, mixed with a hint of meat.

The little boy couldn't walk all of a sudden, he held his parents' hands and yelled for snacks.

The parents were a little hesitant when they saw the 10 catties of grain, but the boy held their hands and promised to eat it just this time.

Parents sniffed the fragrance, and greedy also hooked their souls.They thought they would just eat this once, so they gritted their teeth and changed to a snack.

Later, the child took a bite, and the parents persuaded the child to give them a taste.

Xiao Tong agreed, and the original intention of the parents was just to taste it.But later, the little boy watched his parents finish the snacks one bite at a time, and there was not even soup left, and the bowl was licked clean.

Child: ...

He burst into tears.

After the parents sang, their thoughts were still unfinished, and they seemed to be out of their bodies, as if they had just found the meaning of living today.

The two of you looked at me and I looked at you, the wife said: "Why don't we work more tomorrow? The extra food is used for food?"

The husband nodded, he touched his head and said, "I always feel that this is not enough. Let's cultivate the land well in the future. I heard that there is a family in Benxing City who can grow enough grain for 20 years in one year! If we cultivate the land well, the future Isn't this day getting better and better?!"

Because the city lord promulgated a decree, people must wait for the new city to be rebuilt before people can farm.

Therefore, they worked harder one by one, and they looked forward to finishing the work at hand as soon as possible, so that they could go to the ground with their hoe as soon as possible!

Ji Fa finally returned to the main city. He rode all the way, but he saw that the expressions of the people remained the same, and there was no sign of sadness at all.
