"That is, this kid has married six people in Nanzhong, and now there are more than 30 in the harem.

"Including the six today, there are a total of 43."

The old patriarch said angrily.

This son is so lustful, it is simply ruining the reputation of our old Cao family.

Cao Zhengchun is getting older, and he no longer values ​​wine, sex and wealth so much, and now he only seeks fame.

It is best to leave a name in history after death.

So he persuaded Cao Chao many times, hoping that he could restrain himself in terms of female sex.

After all, the King of Han is lustful, which is already a recognized fact in the aristocratic circles of the Seven Kingdoms.

This made the old patriarch feel ashamed.

But he never thought that this kid promised well on the surface, but in the end he still went his own way, bringing back a group of women every time he went out.

However, he didn't dare to say more, after all, none of these women were easy to mess with, and some of them had even higher strength than him.

If you accidentally provoke any aunt, you will easily be played to death by the other party.

As a result, he was full of resentment and had no choice but to take this opportunity to complain in front of the two old buddies.

"Hehe, where do you have the face to say that, old fellow?"

However, just as the old patriarch had a righteous expression on his face, Sun Shiwan at the side immediately jumped out to disrupt the situation.

"The old man heard that the two Qiao family widows in your family seem to be pregnant recently.

"Hehe, okay, the sword is not old."

After saying these words, the elders of the old patriarch blushed.

However, the old patriarch is the one who suffers, he glanced at Sun Shiwan, and said disdainfully,

"The old man is just tossing about the family, unlike some old things, I heard that they have two concubines recently, and they are also sisters.

"They are in their sixties and seventies, and they are not afraid of getting wind."

Of course Sun Shiwan knew that the old man was talking about himself, his expression changed, and he was about to speak up to defend himself.

Liu Paopao obviously knew something inside, and said with surprise on his face,

"Old Sun, don't you really want to marry those two little girls from the Wang family as concubines? They just turned sixteen, and you are over sixty!"

"The old man is a hit-and-miss."

Old Sun Shiwan blushed, distinguishing weakly.

"Bah! You shameless old bastard, I am ashamed to be with you!"

The old patriarch on the side scolded disdainfully.

Liu Paopao continued to follow, pretending to be teaching and persuading,

"That is, I am a modest gentleman, and what I pay attention to is benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness.

"What you have done today is not in line with etiquette, and I am afraid that you will be ridiculed by the world.

"I listened to my elder brother's persuasion, it is better to cancel the engagement as soon as possible, and turn around."

Being squeezed out by two old buddies, Sun Shiwan's face turned green and pale.

Especially looking at Liu Paopao's hypocritical appearance, I feel tired for a while.

So he couldn't help but blurted out,

"Liu Paopao, you hypocrite, don't think that the old man doesn't know that you only married the widow of the Wu family last month.

"The poor family has been widowed for their husband for more than ten years, but it will be late at the end of the day."

"Cough cough cough~"

Liu Paopao coughed a few times, and quickly explained,

"The Wu family is the common surname of the Yi people in Padang. As a typical guest, it is my duty to appease the local rich people."

"he tui!"

"You soothed yourself to the bed!"

Sun Shiwan laughed out of anger.

"Don't think I don't know, you married Widow Wu because the fortune teller said she was very rich."

"This……"

Being exposed on the spot, Liu Paopao was at a loss for words on the spot.

Here the old patriarch saw the two started tearing each other up, sneered and fired the map gun,

"Hehe, a bunch of hypocrites~"

After Liu Paopao and Sun Shiwan heard this, they were unhappy on the spot.

No matter how hypocritical we two are, we are not as good as you, Cao Zhengchun!

I am old and unscrupulous, but I still have the face to persuade the king.

So he rolled up his sleeves and said,

"Old man, do you want to fight!"

"MMP, if I don't hit you, you will be full of peach blossoms, you really have a good temper like an old man!"

"Come on anyway, a mat weaver and a weak chicken who can only give away heads, how can I be afraid of this old man!"

……

While the three elders were fighting in the nest, Cao Chao had already led the six wives to appear in front of the palace gate.

The ceremonial officer had long been waiting again and chanted loudly,

"Your Majesty has ordered that Li Ji, Lu Yan, Xue Nu, Fan Ji, Duan Mu Rong, and Shan be conferred wives!"

"Crash!"

All the civil and military officials at the scene bowed down and shouted after hearing the words.

"I'll wait to see the king and my wife!"

Seeing this, the people behind him were overwhelmed by the atmosphere of the scene, and they all knelt down on the ground.

All of a sudden, there was a crowd kneeling in front of the palace gate.

"Free gift!"

Cao Chao waved his hand, his demeanor was calm and domineering.

All the people present were overwhelmed by their aura and lowered their heads involuntarily.

Seeing this, the ceremonial officer quickly opened the will in his hand and began to announce,

"My king has ordered that on this day of universal celebration, the territory of Dahan will reduce or exempt [-]% of the tax this year!

"At the same time, the Lingqu Canal will be officially dug in Changsha County, and those who intend to work there will be given favorable treatment.

"In addition, my big man will do business with Baiyue in the south. If you are interested, please contact the Chengdu Chamber of Commerce.

"and also……"

With the promulgation of government orders one after another, the eyes of the people brightened.

Especially when I heard that this year's tax cut was [-]%, I immediately became excited.

After the ceremonial officer finished reading, the people present finally couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts, and shouted in unison,

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

"Long live the king, long live!"

This time, there was no need for civil and military officials to take the lead. The people spontaneously knelt down on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of Cao Chao.

Tens of thousands of voices gathered together, resounding like a loud bell, resounding through the sky.

Li Ji, Lu Yan and other six daughters were also honored to see their husband so loved by the people, and looked at the man with admiration.

The civil and military officials who came to watch the ceremony were also in the same mood.

At this moment, an official said with emotion,

"It's really a blessing for me to be so respected by all the people!"

The colleague on the side nodded slightly.

"Public opinion is like water, and every move of the king is in line with public opinion and benefits the people. This is the real reason for the people to return to their hearts."

"I dare to conclude that as long as these measures of benefiting the people can be implemented and persisted, I will be able to unify the Central Plains in less than ten years!"

"color!"

Chapter 777 Ten Years

Spring goes and autumn comes, time flies, and ten years have passed in a flash.

It was early spring in February.

The Beijin Ferry outside Dengcheng was full of commotion, with donkeys croaking and horses neighing, and people's voices were buzzing.

This place is the main road of communication between the north and the south.

Going north, you can reach Nanyang County, and enter the core of the Central Plains such as Han and Wei.

If you go south, you can enter the land of Xiangfan and directly enter the Yangtze River.

Especially in the last two or three years, with the promotion of Lingqu, a large number of merchants have been attracted to go south to do business.

A large amount of grain, rice and cloth went south from the Central Plains through this place.

The ivory, agate, coral, pearls, spices and other treasures exchanged from southern Guangdong still have to go northward and flow into the Central Plains through this place.

The consequence of the gathering of a large number of rich merchants and rich merchants is that it directly stimulates consumption in the city.

Therefore, the former Chuxia Town developed into one of the most prosperous cities in the Han Kingdom in just two or three years, and the inns, restaurants, and brothels in the city were full of tourists every day.
