"I have no objection!" Everyone sighed in unison, and even if they had objections, they did not dare to raise them here.

The corner of Yu Du's mouth twitched into a smile, glanced at the mangled predecessor Xin Ye Ling, and said with disdain: "Take him out and parade him in the streets. Declare his crimes and let the people know that their world has changed. The place, the official has the final say!"

"Here!" The two guards responded, found Baibu, and took away Xin Yeling, who had been hacked beyond recognition.

"Where is the county lieutenant?" Yu Du said in a deep voice.

"The minister is here." The county lieutenant, with cold sweat on his forehead, came out respectfully.

"Call all the county soldiers and line up in the South Gate school field after an hour. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!"

"Here..." The county lieutenant didn't dare to hesitate, and agreed boldly.He was terrified by Yu Du's dismounting threat to kill the county magistrate as soon as he arrived, so he didn't think much of Yu Du's move to seize military power.

Yu Du looked at his face and continued to order calmly: "Where is the county magistrate?"

"The minister is here!" The county magistrate was killed, and the power of the county lieutenant will be released soon. The county magistrate is just a civil servant, unable to make trouble, so he has to bow his head.

"I order you to gather all the gentry and officials in the city together. Tonight, I will hold a banquet in the mansion, and I will invite you. If you can't convey it, I will send another person to go. But what will happen to you? I can't guarantee that."

The county magistrate swallowed his saliva, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I listen to the order!" After thinking for a while, he asked timidly, "What if those people don't come?"

"Not coming?" Yu Du twitched his beard, narrowed his eyes, and said ruthlessly, "That's better, so I don't have to make excuses. Ming Zhonghou, if there are any squires who won't be able to come tonight, I hope they will come." The family’s money can be donated to make a contribution to Xinye.”

Ming Zhonghou gave a military salute, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Yu, the butcher knife of the six hundred princesses' personal guards has been sharpened, and we just wait for Mr. Yu's order."

Yu Du smiled slightly, and turned back to the magistrate, "I don't know if you have any questions?"

The county magistrate hurriedly said: "I will inform them now, please rest assured, Mr. Yu!"

Jiangling County.

It will be five days before Song Zhi recovers from his illness.She would take time to walk around the city every day, thinking about what to do for a living.Let's talk about doing business, she doesn't have the capital or the ability, let's go to work for others, when the people here see that she is a woman, they will either smile maliciously, or drive her away impatiently.

Why is it so difficult to live in the Chen Dynasty!Song Zhi came out of the grain shed, turned his head to watch the servants pour the grain into the big wooden warehouse.

The two-meter-high wooden barrel was as thick as ten people's arms, and there was a small wooden ladder next to it. The strong servants carried the rice bags unloaded from the grain truck and climbed to the top on the wooden ladder, and then opened the grain. Opening the mouth of the bag, I tilted my hand, and the white polished rice poured out of the bag and poured it all into the big wooden barrel, creating a mist.The people below lined up with pots, bowls and various utensils to buy grain. After all the rice was poured into the granary, the grain merchant pulled out the latch from the square mouth made of a small iron plate at the waist of the barrel, staring helplessly. The waiting servant held the rice bucket and caught the white rice flowing out of the square iron mouth like running water.After reaching the marking line of the measuring bucket, the grain merchant quickly and accurately inserted the iron plate on the square mouth, and the grain stopped abruptly, and not a single grain flowed out.

The measured buckets of rice were given to the people who wanted to buy rice. The people took out a lot of five-plant money, and a bucket of rice cost [-] Wen. A lot, a total of [-] wen and [-] plants were paid.The corn on the other side still has its husks. Generally, poor people who can’t afford polished rice will buy that kind of corn with shells. This kind of corn is cheap, and you can buy a bucket for only ten yuan, and the poor buy a bucket. Go home, add wild vegetables, etc., a family of four can eat for five days.

Song Zhi doesn't eat much, and the most she can eat a day is 20 grams. Buying a bucket of polished rice can last her for about [-] days.She brought two coins from Luoyang, that is, two thousand Wen and five plants. According to the prices in Jiangling, it was enough to stay for more than two months.And she spent a lot of money on the road, and now she has less than a thousand coins left.She counted with her fingers, such as transportation expenses, accommodation expenses, treating the concubine to dinner, giving gifts to the magistrate of Jiangling County...

Then inquire about the houses near the government in the east of Jiangling City, starting with [-] yuan.And the residence of the rich and noble gentry in the west of the city also costs [-] yuan, only the south of the city and other places are cheaper, ranging from [-] to [-] yuan.If you are buying a house in Luoyang, a better house may cost about [-] yuan.

Song Zhi was going crazy when he calculated it. Would she go for the [-] yuan?Is it possible to really live in a village in the city?Not to mention that it is dangerous for her to be alone in that kind of place, even if it is not dangerous, she will not do it!I heard that the place is dirty and messy, thieves and thieves are rampant, and there are often fights to the death...

She looked up to the sky and sighed, racking her brains to wonder if there was any way to get money in ancient times other than cheating, stealing and doing skin and meat business.Just as he was lost in thought, he walked to the street unknowingly, and met Xi Ji who came out to pick out rouge and gouache.

She was startled, fearing that she had misidentified the person, so after careful observation for a while, she was sure it was Xi Ji.She went up to greet Xi Ji: "Is Xi Ji out to play?"

Ji Ji turned her head and saw it was Song Zhi, she smiled happily and said, "I was going to find you in the inn, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Yiji didn't go back to Changsha?" Song Zhi asked in surprise, "What do you want me for?"

Xi Ji put down the rouge and gouache, pointed to the wine shop on the side and pulled Song Zhi inside: "I was going back to Changsha that day, but I heard that my brother was furious when he heard the news that I came out to relax, and said he would punish me. Arrest me and lock me up, so I don't want to go back."

When the two entered the restaurant, Song Zhi was even more puzzled: "Your brother is so strict with you? Why did you have to be locked up..." Suddenly thought of something, Song Zhi was surprised, "Did you sneak out?"

Xi Ji snorted proudly: "I walked out of the main gate openly! Who said I sneaked away. Hey, do you think I'm that kind of naughty person?"

I thought.Song Zhi slandered.But she didn't show any emotion on her face, and after she sat down with Ji Ji, she asked strangely, "Is your elder brother the son of the Shen family? Who else is there in the family?"

"My father died early, but my mother is still alive. My brother is not from the same mother as me, but his mother died long before my father passed away, and my mother raised him by herself." Xi Ji showed a sad face and sighed, "It's a pity, not only did he not miss my mother's kindness in nurturing me, but he made things difficult for me everywhere, and repeatedly bullied me when my mother was not paying attention. I escaped to Changsha to relax because he bullied too much!" She clenched her fists and said, His face was full of resentment.

The corner of Song Zhi's mouth twitched, he called the bartender, and ordered him to order some side dishes.

She was dubious about Xi Ji's words. Xi Ji definitely didn't look like Cinderella would have a vicious brother, but she looked like a well-protected, unruly and willful young lady.But believe it or not, Song Zhi took pride in joining the enemy with Xi Ji and said, "How can such a person be an elder brother?"

Xi Ji patted the food table: "That's right! He's gone too far!"

"When Ji Ji returns, report his bad deeds in front of the boss." Song Zhi persuaded.The "adult" at this time refers to parents.

Xi Ji nodded, not wanting to get entangled in this matter, she turned the subject and said, "Ah Zhi looks sad on the street, but what can't be solved? Why don't you tell me and let me make a plan for you." Her eyes were bright, and she was eager to try.

Song Zhi smiled wryly and said: "As the saying goes, 'One penny can't beat a hero'. I wanted to find some work in Jiangling these days to make a living and earn some money for my family, but unfortunately I couldn't find it. Eh," she suddenly remembered that Jiji was from Changsha The daughter of the Shen family, who is a well-known merchant of jade and antiques in China, couldn't help asking, "What is the monthly salary of a helper in Changsha?"

Xi Ji didn't expect her to ask this question, so she subconsciously turned around and asked the maid beside her, "What's the monthly salary of your brother?"

The maid said: "Young brother works as a servant in the tea house, with a monthly salary of 420 yuan and an annual salary of 88 yuan."

Hearing what the maid said, Xi Ji turned her head and smiled at Song Zhi whose eyes were shining: "It's not much. My maid has been with me for four months, and I give her seven hundred dollars a month."

Seven hundred dollars a month and eight thousand four hundred dollars a year.It seems that the annual salary of Yu Du's subordinates in the Princess Mansion is only 220 yuan.Song Zhi finally figured out how rich the Shen family is, even a maid can earn 680 yuan a month, which is far more than the official salary of the official position in the palace.The bus waiting for the imperial edict is equivalent to the guests raised by the emperor, but they are not used in normal times. In this way, they can receive [-] yuan a month, and [-] yuan a year.

The Shen family... is so rich!

Song Zhi didn't know that the Song family had 50 in cash stolen, that is to say, 50 billion.If Song Qian hadn't thought of treason, if Song Zhi hadn't exposed the Song family, even if Song Zhi had been given [-] million yuan, he would be able to live comfortably, squander his sensuality to his heart's content, and eat all over the country every day on vacation.It's also because she didn't know, otherwise Princess Xianning would not be moved by Princess Xianning who grabbed a few handfuls of money from the Song family's treasury and gave her travel expenses, but would be so angry that she would go into a coma and scold Princess Xianning for being too cheating, even if she gave her She doesn't have to haggle over ten thousand dollars here.

I want to return to thinking, but Song Zhi is still a little bit moved by the high wages in Changsha.So she tentatively said: "I don't think this Jiangling is better than Changsha. I intend to go to Changsha to see the world. I wonder if Xi Ji is willing to let me accompany you?"

Ji Ji hesitated and said, "That's good, but even though you're far away from home and you can't go to relatives, if you change your itinerary and go to Changsha, you must report to the adults at home. How about this, you go to Changsha with me, do you have any letters?" I'll have someone send it back to Luoyang."

"Don't bother." Song Zhi shook his head and said, "My father doesn't care about me. I'm used to being outside, and I want to live in the south for a while. It's just that I came out in a hurry and spent too much, so I wanted to find a job to support my life."

Xi Ji smiled and said: "It's easy, just follow me first, if you have anything to do, let's talk about it in Changsha. Oh, yes, I'm going out of the city tomorrow, and I heard that there are some beautiful pheasants in the woods to the north. I want to catch and raise him, do you want to come together?"

Are there pheasants here?Song Zhi was messed up again.Most of the pheasants live in Yangzhou, and there are also Jingzhou. If you go to catch chickens in winter, will you grow up beautifully?

"Uh, this, okay." Song Zhi tried his best to smile, pretending to be interested, "Then tomorrow, let's go to Beilin to catch pheasants."

"When the time comes, I'll send someone to pick you up." Xie Ji raised her glass happily.

"I wish Ji Ji all wishes come true."
