Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

Wait until they get off the boat before taking action. Yan San said coldly.

We still have to wait ten days. Yan Qi gritted his teeth.

Not necessarily. Yan San glanced at the porthole downstairs and glanced towards the cabin upstairs.

Yan Qi then left the cabin outside the ship's side and headed for the kitchen.

Yan San walked past Huazheng, walked to Ling Qingyu and asked, Where is lunch?

Go back to your room to eat. Ling Qingyu raised his head and responded, then smiled at Hua Ling'er and said, I'm going back to my room first, can we talk next time?

Hua Ling'er rolled her eyes and was about to speak, but Hua Zheng said before she could: We are going down too, thank you sir.

Ling Qingyu smiled, stood up and left.

Hua Ling'er looked at Hua Zheng in confusion and said, Elder brother, we are having a nice chat. Can we ask my sister to eat outside?

Junior sister! The senior sister from the Huashan sect shouted at her, pulled her up, and said, Let's go down too. If it hadn't been for Jiuhua, headmaster Na Ling would have really invited her to dinner, given his temperament. But in this situation, the junior sister is too confused.

Seeing that Hua Zheng also had a dark face, Hua Ling'er muttered and reluctantly got up and followed them down.

Stay away from the Jiuhua sect on the boat. After Hua Linger passed by, Hua Zheng said to another junior sister.

The junior sister was stunned for a moment and then nodded. The senior brother is very prudent in doing things, so there must be a reason for what he said.

He didn't even notice when the man came behind him just now. Hua Zheng was still a little scared in his heart. As a martial arts student, if you don't notice when someone approaches from behind, you can be killed instantly. He is still somewhat confident in his martial arts. At least among the new generation of young people, he is considered to be above average. Among the young disciples in this boat, he is considered to be the best in martial arts. The man just walked quietly behind him. , why don't you surprise him? I just hope that the disciples of the Jiuhua Sect will no longer cause trouble, and even if they cause trouble, they won't be implicated.

Before going down the stairs, Hua Zheng looked back at the man again. Through the half-open window, he could be seen lowering his head and setting the bowl. It was probably a warning just now, but this is no wonder to others. That headmaster Ling is actually really easy to talk to, but No matter how easy it is to talk, I won't let you get slapped in the face like this.

Yan San tilted his head slightly and saw Hua Zheng outside the window nodding to him, so he nodded too. If you don't cause trouble, we won't cause trouble for you. This boy is a sensible person. When he saw Hua Zheng's figure disappearing on the stairs, mouth, lowered his head and continued to use chopsticks.

After all the people above had left, Ling Qingyu hugged Yan San's waist from behind, rubbed his face on his back, and said: Yan San, we are not angry. A group of children, who don't know the heights of the world, what can they do? Careful. Although she didn't understand martial arts and couldn't feel any murderous intent, she could still feel the coldness in Yan San's eyes. Every time that look appeared in his eyes, there would definitely be a massacre.

Yan San patted her hand lightly and said, I know what's appropriate. In the extra drama, you can do whatever you want, but in Da Zhou, both he and Yan Qi are shady, and it's definitely not okay to go against Wulin, but they are As a killer, he naturally has his own methods. Even if Ling Qingyu is generous and doesn't care about it, I'm sorry, Yan San has always been petty, and his flaws will definitely be repaid!

Ling Qingyu sighed softly. The issue of identity is a big problem. No matter how rich she is, she is just a business owner. Not only the scholars, officials, but even the people in the world can belittle her. It seems that the first big problem is to improve her identity. It's just that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, she was a woman, and the ways to improve her status were really limited. She couldn't take part in the imperial examination, and it was useless if she could take part in it. Now she knew nothing about this kind of imperial examination. There was no second person in the family, and it was impossible for any brother to win the exam and then become a If you want to get married, it's a one-step thing like a sister's job. Well, just go directly to the backyard. I'm afraid that even the property won't be yours.

After much deliberation, the only option is to control more of the economic share to the point where people of whatever status have to rely on their own financial resources.

Then you can only work hard to make money!

The will to fight rose again. After eating, Ling Qingyu picked up the pen and account book and began to mark business lines, mineral points, and fields on the map, making a detailed list and calculating them one by one.

Once Ling Qingyu started to settle accounts, he was fully focused. Yan San closed the door and stood outside. Hua Ling'er swayed under the stairs several times, and then shrank back when he saw his cold gaze.

Junior sister, please don't go any further. Someone may have something wrong with me. Senior sister advised helplessly. There were people standing on the left and right of the stairs. The meaning was very obvious. Don't come up. Only this little junior sister who has been spoiled since childhood was the only one. , I just can’t understand it.

But it's so boring. Hua Ling'er started to point her fingers. The senior brother has clearly said that he can't hook up with the Jiuhua sect. The ship only has such a large area. It's best to go upstairs to see the scenery and chat. It’s fun, but now you’re not allowed to go up there, hey.

There are no two boring days.

When the ship passed Songzhou, it stopped at the dock for supplies at night. Most of the people from Longmen went ashore to do business. Hua Ling'er, who was already exhausted that night, also called her brothers and sisters to go ashore to play, and called Ling Qingyu.

Ling Qingyu, who had already had an unpleasant experience in Songzhou last time, refused to go with them because he felt uncomfortable, but it was indeed uncomfortable to sit on the boat. After Hua Ling'er and the others had left, he took Yan San with him to go there. Walk around the pier.

Songzhou is also a large transit city on the canal. Many coolies and civilians use it to make a living next to the dock. Over time, a small market has formed next to the dock, mostly with various food stalls. Most of the food is for the coolies at the dock. Sufficient quantity and cheap price.

Ling Qingyu wore men's clothes and sat at the stall eating glutinous rice balls while chatting with the coolies next to him.

Nowadays, the world is in a bad place. A few years ago, I could still farm some fields, but now I can only live by carrying goods. The man in his thirties next to him sighed.

Is the money earned enough? Ling Qingyu asked.

Just barely not starving to death, it also depends on whether you have enough work. Now that we have entered the dragon gate, we finally have a guarantee. The man sighed, then asked a few people to rest and continued to move the goods.

The land tax is too heavy, and when natural disasters strike, those lower-class households will basically become landless refugees. Even if the harvest is good, if there are too many people in the family, they will move away because the production cannot be offset by the tax. The current situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty is that the situation of military generals is better than that in the Northern Song Dynasty. At least there will be no embarrassing situation where the soldiers do not know the generals and the generals do not know the soldiers. Instead, a family of military generals has been formed. This is how the Zhao family controls Hebei Road Xiongbing and the Yang family. The situation of Zhang Hedong Road Soldier is that the policy of equalizing land rent and light corvee and low tax established by Zhou Shizong has ceased to exist in name only. In recent years, taxes have increased dramatically. For example, the commercial tax of the Shipping Department has already It has increased to 10%. This is because the shipping situation has been poor in recent years, so I dare not add more. However, the land tax has increased to 20 to 30%. Han Ju has already discussed with her about increasing land rent to cope with it, let alone ordinary small farmers. . If the country doesn't have enough to eat at all, it will change sooner or later. However, the Zhou army is still very strong, and ordinary refugees or rebellions will be suppressed directly. It should be no problem to hold on for another ten or twenty years.

Speaking of which, originally I just wanted to avenge my parents here and complete the mission in this life, but now there are more people who can't let go. So, I can only continue to struggle in this glitzy world of mortals.

Although it was already night, the pier was still brightly lit and very lively. The lights reflected the river water crimson, and the weeping willows on the riverside were dancing in the wind, which was very special.

When Hua Zheng walked out of the city gate, he immediately saw the two people sitting at the small stall on the pier. The people there were all coolies, and the stall was also very simple and dirty. The two people were sitting at the stall and talking sideways, looking at each other. With a smile, it actually fit in perfectly with the scene.

Senior brother?

Let's go. Hua Zheng withdrew his gaze, turned sideways to block Hua Ling'er's sight, and took her back to the ship. If the junior sister ran over to disrupt the situation at this time, the man would definitely kill her!

It's getting cold, let's go back. Yan San looked at the sky and said.

Ling Qingyu nodded, and when he stood up, he suddenly frowned and said, Yan San, I seem to be... The aunt is here.

Yan San's first reaction was to hug her and leave, but she glared at him, threw a few coins on the table, took her hand and walked back. Her menstruation is always uncertain, and she is afraid that it has something to do with the snake pill. It seems that she still needs to go to a ghost doctor to check it out.

When they got on the boat, they saw the lights on the boat were brightly lit, and several Longmen disciples were guarding the entrance of the boat. When they saw Ling Qingyu, Lin Jinglin said with shame: Head of the family.

What happened? Ling Qingyu asked.

Lin Jinglin wanted to say it but didn't, and took the lead to the second floor of the ship.

The second floor was very lively. Several people from the Huashan Sect were standing on the side of the ship with constipated faces. Several people from the Jiuhua Sect were stationed at the door of Ling Qingyu's cabin while maintaining the posture of thrusting their long swords.

Are you a famous sect? Or are you just a bunch of lowlifes? Yan Qi said coldly.

What's the matter? Ling Qingyu asked as she walked around the people and saw that the boy who asked her to give up the cabin was lying on the ground with a broken arm.

This kid put smoke in your cabin, and then went into the cabin to steal. If you were here, I'm afraid you would steal some incense or something. Yan Qi kicked the boy, and the boy was in great pain. But he probably couldn't scream after being hit on his mute point, so he could only cry out while covering his broken arm.

What about these ones? Ling Qingyu pointed at the statue-like figures and walked around Zhen Zhen.

They are waiting at the door to catch the rapist. Yan Qi's cold eyes lingered on Zhen Zhen's face for a moment.

Lin Jinglin whispered to Hua Zheng and others what happened. At night, seeing no one watching upstairs, Zhentong from the Jiuhua sect quietly went up to the second floor and first blew incense into the cabin. , and then broke into the room. No one was in the room at that time, so Zhentong rummaged around in the room and packed a big bag of Ling Qingyu's jewelry. While he was stealing inside, several other disciples of Jiuhua also came up quietly. When the male disciple of Jiuhua opened the door, Zhenzhen shouted: How can you, a woman, be so shameless? Look at Our junior brother actually fell in love with him when he was young.

When Hua Zheng heard this, he immediately understood. He looked at those people with extreme contempt. If Ling Qingyu hadn't gone out, how could these people still have the dignity to see people after being hit by the incense? , this is worse than killing her with one knife.

Seeing that the people of the Huashan Sect all had expressions of disdain on their faces, even Hua Ling'er, who had an unbearable expression on her face, took a step back. Zhen Zhen was a little anxious and winked at Hua Ling'er vigorously. Tears kept rolling down her face, looking extremely pitiful. appearance.
