The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Zhu Houzhao took a picture of the white shadow with a brick. The scholar was so frightened that he scattered. Only Yang Shen and Kang Hai were still with him.

Yang Shen vowed to protect Zhu Houzhao to the death and followed him despite being afraid.

"Your Highness, why don't we withdraw?"

"What are you afraid of? Go through the main hall and you'll be at the back door soon."

Zhu Houzhao was having fun.

There is always a gloomy wind in the courtyard, which makes people's backs feel cold, and the weak lights around them seem to be extinguished at any time.

Yang Shen pulled out his sword and stared at the surroundings cautiously.

In the main hall, I suddenly saw a pale corpse on the ground, with no blood on its hands and feet, lying on a straw mat.

Zhi~

The coffin suddenly made a sound, like nails scratching on a wooden board. They were frightened and turned around suddenly, but they smelled a very disgusting smell, as if something was coming out.

The three of them were trying to see clearly what it was.

Whoosh.

When all the lights went out, Zhu Houzhao was so frightened that he could only curse at his mother.

There’s no such thing as fun!

"Yang Shen?"

No response at all...

"Kang Hai?"

There was no response either...

The person was still around just now, why did he disappear in the blink of an eye?

Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao felt a hand on his shoulder.

Zhu Houzhao was so frightened that he shrank and didn't dare to move, as if if he didn't move, the hand wouldn't hurt him.

call……

A small cold wind blew from Zhu Houzhao's back, and there was blood. He could smell the smell of blood.

Zhu Houzhao almost cried...

"Please let me go, I won't play anymore."

Yan Chengjin suppressed his smile and put his hand on Zhu Houzhao's shoulder.

"Do you want money? I have a lot of silver hidden in the toilet of the East Palace. You let me go and I give you money?" Zhu Houzhao said with a weak cry.

When a man is about to die, his words are kind; when a bird is about to die, his voice is also sad.

Zhu Houzhao's habit of hiding things...

What a cunning person. He always told him that he had no money even though he had money hidden away. He actually secretly learned Emperor Hongzhi's... gold-hiding technique.

No matter what the ministers say, I just have no money.

"Why don't you speak?... I have forgotten that dead people cannot speak..."

"I don't want your money. Promise me one thing and I'll let you go."

Zhu Houzhao was delighted: "You said?"

"Study hard from now on and don't sneak out of the palace to play again. If you can do that, I will let you go."

"This..." Zhu Houzhao hesitated.

Yan Chengjin held his forehead. It turned out that for Zhu Houzhao, sneaking out of the palace to play was a matter of life and death, and he had to think about it.

Zhu Houzhao was in trouble for a long time: "Okay, I promise you to study hard in the future."

"Swear a damn oath."

Are there still ghost oaths in this world?

Zhu Houzhao raised his hand happily, swearing that he was familiar with the road.

Yan Chengjin took his hand back. Zhu Houzhao was the prince, and teasing him too much could easily lead to trouble. This guy would also file a complaint with Emperor Hongzhi, which would lead to impeachment by hundreds of officials, which would not end well.

Huo Zhezi lit the lantern, and the yellowish light illuminated the surroundings again.

"Lao Gao?"

"Your Highness, you cannot go back on the oath you just swore."

Zhu Houzhao looked around. Yan Chengjin stood beside him, putting his hands on his shoulders, and his face suddenly turned red to the roots of his ears.

It turned out that Yan Chengjin was teasing him just now.

He rolled up his sleeves and was about to give Yan Chengjin a beating when Yan Chengjin said, "How about I take His Highness to visit this Adventure House?"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and most of his anger disappeared. He looked at the things next to him and suddenly became happy, "Old Gao, how did you come up with such a house?"

It is simpler to build a haunted house using an ancient house than in later generations, and the style of the house is suitable. Furthermore, atheism has not yet emerged, so the ancients were easier to deceive.

"Your Highness, come with me." The reason Yan Chengjin likes to be friends with Zhu Houzhao is that this guy doesn't hold grudges.

It's like a crying child. You hand a stone to his eyes: Look, what is this? The child stopped crying immediately and played with stones for a long time...

Yan Chengjin brought Zhu Houzhao to the main room: "This is the highlight of the Adventure House, you all come out."

I saw three refugees coming out from behind the bed, ceiling, and mirror.

The makeup is a bit scary. If Yan Chengjin hadn't been here, Zhu Houzhao would have been frightened again.

"Where are Kang Hai and Yang Shen?"

"In the other two rooms."

Each room here is an independent scene. After taking Zhu Houzhao around, he came to the back door.

"Your Highness, don't tell anyone." Yan Chengjin said.

Zhu Houzhao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, but then looked around.

After a while, Zhu Houzhao walked out of the back door with great dignity. The scholar opened his mouth slightly. Zhu Xiucai was so courageous.

However, the scholars also knew that the "things" inside were all disguised as refugees.

When I got brave enough, I queued up to pay money and waited to get in.

…

Yan Chengjin handed five hundred taels of silver to Zhang Xian and said, "This is the tax money from Qiyu House, and it will be put into the treasury of the Yamen."

Brothels, inns and restaurants are listed on the tax books, while adventure houses and skyscrapers do not have special tax regulations.

He still took out the money and paid taxes.

I want Daming to run,

We have to let the locomotive of Liangxiang start running first.

As far as he knew, after the monocular telescope and hot water bladder were released, high imitations had already appeared in the Jiangnan area, and they might be better than the craftsmen in Liangxiang.

This is the change brought about by Liangxiang.

The Ming Dynasty is changing subtly.

If it spreads to Guangdong, perhaps a large number of workshops will appear.

Guangdong has many skilled craftsmen, and trades with foreign countries. French merchant ships often dock there, and they come into contact with more imported goods than Northern Zhili, and are more open-minded.

But there can never surpass Liangxiang.

Because... you never know what will flow out of Liangxiang next.

Zhang Xian really can't see what Lord Yan means, and he actually took the initiative to pay taxes, and paid five hundred taels at a time.

"In the future, the mountain tax in Liangxiang will be one in ten."

Mountain tax is the ticket.

This is the saying in Jiangnan. When climbing some famous mountains in Jiangnan, you have to collect mountain taxes (tickets) at the foot of the mountain.

There is no such thing as tickets in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Xian doesn't understand tickets.

Yan Chengjin continued: "In the future, the tourism industry in Liangxiang will collect tickets, and the tax will be one in ten."

The best money to make is women's money and scholars' money.

Many time travelers like to make soaps, perfumes, shower gels, etc. after landing.

Yan Chengjin plans to make money from scholars.

There are tens of thousands of scholars in Liangxiang now, and most of them are from wealthy families. It’s just that showing off wealth is not popular. They all wear the same Confucian robes and silk scarves, so you can’t tell.

He plans to build a wildlife park in Liangxiang and raise some elegant ornamental animals for scholars to recite poems and write couplets.

These scholars will naturally go there when they are bored in the bookstore.

“Sir… what is tourism?” Zhang Xian asked ashamedly.

“Sightseeing things like the Encounter House and the Sky Waterwheel are all considered ornamental. In the future, I plan to build a Grand View Garden in Liangxiang.”

Zhang Xian knew that he would have to spend money again, so he quickly asked the household office to settle accounts and hand in the autumn grain.

………

Yang Tinghe asked: “Why didn’t the prince come to the Zhanshi Mansion today?”

The Zhanshi Mansion is not in the East Palace, but adjacent to the Hanlin Academy.

Zhu Houzhao was going to come here to study early in the morning, but he didn’t see anyone today.

“Prince, I’m afraid he went to Liangxiang again.” Wang Hua sighed.

"When you and Cheng Minzheng were in the Ministry of the Chancellery, you indulged the prince like this, which led to his current temper!" Yang Tinghe scolded.

Wang Hua was furious. If it was my son, I would have beaten him long ago!

Seeing his cold face, Yang Tinghe softened his face: "Brother Dehui, don't be angry. I am also thinking about the prince. In a hurry, I said frankly, how about you and I go together to find the prince?"

Wang Hua's face looked better.

The two came to Liangxiang Library, but heard Yang Shen say that the prince was in the Qiyu House.

The three came to the Qiyu House.

Yang Shen advised in fear: "Dad, don't go in, just wait here for the prince to come out, inside... It's very scary."

"In broad daylight, what's scary, your father doesn't believe this."

Wang Bushui said: "Why don't I go in and ask His Highness to come out?"

"No need! I will see with my own eyes what tricks the prince is playing!"
