The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 460: Planting pears

After winning the six southern provinces, Zhong Yu entered a longer period of relaxation. During this period, there was no war in the Yu Kingdom, and all the newly won territory began a massive recovery. Production, and the construction of stable people's hearts.

One day, in Jiangducheng, the current capital of Yuguo, Zhong Yu was bored with government affairs in Miyagi all day, so he took a few entourages to walk out of the palace, read anecdotes in the busy city, and relieved his worries.

Jiangdu City is located not far from the bank of a river that traverses the Seven Kingdoms. The surrounding terrain is full of plains. Under the irrigation of the river, the land is fertile, and it is a famous grain-producing land for thousands of miles in the surrounding area. In addition, the great river connects all countries, and many business travelers travel along the river all the way from north to south, bringing the rich products of various countries to other countries. It is a golden waterway.

With these two conveniences, Jiangdu City can be said to be extremely prosperous. It is the largest city second only to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and the first prosperous city among the six southern provinces.

Walking on the street, Zhong Yu looked at the people coming and going, the business travelers, the hawkers who kept selling, and the endless shops around. He couldn't help but nodded. Prosperity has a deeper understanding.

Although Zhong Yu temporarily set his palace in Jiangdu City, he usually stays in the deep palace forbidden, and he usually meets with some ministers of the courts, so he doesn’t have time to go out to play, so he has no time to go out to play. I don’t know much about the specific situation. I only know that it is extremely prosperous and has a large population, which can generate many taxes.

When I saw it today, it was really prosperous.

I still remember the last time I walked on the streets of the city and led a large army into the city. At that time, all the people hid in the rooms and blocked the doors and windows tightly, so they didn't dare to come out.

Under this situation, it is naturally impossible for Zhong Yu to understand how prosperous Jiangdu City is. He just has a general understanding of the population of more than 5 million on the household register, which can generate taxes for nearly one province every year. That's two points.

While playing, Zhong Yu suddenly saw a street crowded with people. Hundreds of pedestrians formed a few circles, seeming to be watching someone or something in the circle.

"Interesting, I want to see what it is that can attract so many people onlookers." At this moment, Zhong Yu was attracted to Zhong Yu's interest and couldn't help but want to go over and take a look.

The people in the city all live in Jiangdu City. Although everyone is not very wealthy, Jiangdu City is connected to several surrounding countries. The businessmen who travel in the weekdays do not know how many strange treasures and weird talks have brought to this city. middle.

Therefore, although the people in the city are poor, they have seen themselves before. Few things can attract so many people to gather and watch.

Zhong Yu walked in and took a look, only to find that there were no rare treasures, no weird stories, and no one was doing art.

Here is nothing more than a sloppy Taoist who sells pears, and the quarreling arouses idle people onlookers.

Looking forward, I asked the person next to him for the reason. Only then did he know that there was a countryman who was selling pears at the market. The taste of pear is very sweet, but the price is very expensive.

The Taoist priest in front of him, wearing a rudder hat and tattered robe, stretched out his hand in front of the car to beg to the villagers.

The country folks refused to give it, and he did not leave when the Taoist priests were to go. When the countryman became angry, he insulted loudly.

The Taoist priest said: "You have hundreds of pears in your cart, and the poor road only asks you for one. It doesn't hurt you much. Why do you have such a bad temper?"

People who watched persuaded the country folk to bring a bad pear to the old Taoist priest, and sent him away, but the country folk resolutely refused.

This is what Zhong Yu saw before his eyes.

"Gai Nie, what do you think?" Zhong Yu turned his head and said to Gai Nie who was going out with him by his side.

Gai Nie, as one of the sixth rank among the more than 20 names of Zhong Yu's subordinates, together with his junior brother Wei Zhuang, served as Zhong Yu's personal guard, and also the imperial guard commander, and the supervisor also served as a security defense. This time Zhong Yu went out of the palace, and Gai Nie escorted him with him.

"The pear vendor was too stingy, but the Taoist priest was so entangled, and the bad guys' business is also extremely hateful." For a moment of reflection, Guy Nie said.

"Where is the Lord Donghuang?" Zhong Yu turned his head and looked at the black robe of the Yin Yang Patriarch Donghuang Taiyi. At this time, the Donghuang Taiyi, as the chief officer of the empire, led a group of people to serve as the empire. Observe the sky.

"This Taoist priest disrupted the order and broke the business of the bad guys in the busy city. He has already violated the criminal law and should be thrown into the big jail." Without the slightest contemplation, Dong Huang Taiyi blurted out.

Looking at Donghuang Taiyi, Zhong Yu thoughtfully.

In the world of Qin Shimingyue, the Yin-Yang family, as an extremely powerful minion of the Great Qin Empire on the rivers and lakes, continuously led the Great Qin's army after another to sweep away hidden dangers in the region, and made great military exploits.

However, because of the long-term mingling with Daqin's army, I have come into contact with many figures in the Daqin system, and gradually became infected with the style of some Daqin officials.

Like the current situation, if you openly ask for property from others in accordance with Daqin's laws and regulations, you will not be able to entangle others to do business and cause a certain amount of confusion.

The crime of gathering a crowd to cause trouble was taken to a court to be sentenced with a rod, and to be shown to the public in the market, and then to be taken into the army or become a corvee. This is a heavier charge.

Tonghuang Taiyi directly handled the punishment in accordance with the criminal law, and it was no accident. It was in line with the overbearing style of the Yin Yang family.

"The two are reasonable, but let's see how it will develop next." Zhong Yu didn't make a direct evaluation of what the two said, but continued to wait and see.

The Taoist priests and pear sellers who were constantly arguing in the field attracted more and more pedestrians, and even affected the business of the surrounding two rows of shops, causing dissatisfaction with those shopkeepers.

At the sign of a shop owner, a second person in the shop ran over, bought a pear for two cents and gave it to the Taoist priest, and told him to leave quickly, and don't interfere with other people's business here.

Thanks to the Taoist~IndoMTL.com~ and said to everyone: "The monks don't know how to begrudge things. I have good pears, please taste them." Someone asked, "Since you have pears, why don't you eat your own?" Said: "I need this pear core as a seed." So he took the pear and ate it with big mouthfuls.

After the Taoist finished eating the pear, he put the core in his hand, took off the small shovel on his shoulder, dug a few inches deep in the ground, then put the pear core, covered it with soil, and turned to the side The man wants hot water to water.

Those who had good things went to the shop on the side of the road to bring a pot of boiling water, and the Taoist priest took the boiling water and poured it into the pit. Everyone stared at it, and saw a sprout popping out and gradually growing up, and in a while it grew into a large and leafy tree;

In a blink of an eye, blooming and fruiting, big and fragrant pears are all over the branches. The Taoist priest picked the pears from the tree and distributed them to the onlookers to eat. After a while, they ate them all.

After eating these pears, the Taoist priest picked up the shovel and chopped up the pear tree clankingly. It took a long time to cut it down.

Seeing this Taoist priest's method, Zhong Yu's face changed, and even Gai Nie and Dong Huang Taiyi who were beside him became a little ill.
