"This is the imperial capital?" A few days later, everyone stood in front of an ancient, tall city wall, looking at the crowds coming and going, their faces were full of emotion.
At first, because of Huang Feng’s actions too fast, the original court could not even react. Later, many ministers chose to surrender. Therefore, this ancient capital city has not been damaged in any way, and it is still intact. With.
The imperial capital is also the city with the largest area and the most population, no less than a big city in reality, and there are a lot of people going in and out every day.
On the way here, the people of Huangfeng passed through some small counties or towns. Therefore, they have never seen a big city. Now they are a little surprised to see this tall imperial capital with such a dense crowd.
In fact, Huang Feng and the others didn’t go too smoothly on this road. Huang Feng did not expect that the little magistrate was so courageous that he blatantly came to the rivers and lakes and wanted to kidnap them. As a result, Those people were all killed by Huang Feng and others. However, although Huang Feng and the others killed a lot of reckless people, they did not completely make the county magistrate Wu retreat. On the contrary, it was even more certain that Huang Feng was killing. The murderer of his son, therefore, sent more people to hunt them down.
Because of this, besides enjoying the scenery, many people also killed many people along the way. Of course, only Huang Feng and Bai Xiaorou were the only ones who made the killing. They both had the highest effort, and they had also killed before. It’s extraordinary, with experience in this area, there won’t be any discomforts, but Su Yumo’s daughters did not participate very much, even if they participated, they would just hurt each other, and Huang Feng didn’t want them to be in the hands. Contaminated with blood.
However, through the experience along the way, Huang Feng and several women have discovered that although they don’t take much action and practice for eternal youth, they are still better than ordinary people, even those who are reckless. It was not their opponents, which surprised the women a little, and at the same time, they were also a little excited. In such a time and space, it seemed to make the heroine plot in the hearts of the women a little heavier.
"Yes, this is the imperial capital, the capital of the entire country." Huang Feng said to a few women looking at the towering towers, because there has not been any war here, so not only the building remains intact, but the mood of ordinary people is also more peaceful. , And soon returned to normal life. For them, it is the most important that they can survive. As for who will be the emperor, for them, it really makes no difference. What's more, Huang Feng ruled the country. After that, taxes were reduced, and of course they supported Huang Feng even more.
Before Huang Feng left, the policy he made with the puppets and the slaves he exchanged was modeled after the Song Dynasty on earth. The peasants would not be levied too high taxes. At the same time, they would vigorously develop commerce by collecting commercial taxes. Increasing the income of the treasury will not only make the farmers happy, but also the businessmen.
You should know that the previous dynasty suppressed merchants. Merchants had many restrictions on doing business, and their social status was not high. However, after Huang Feng became the emperor, everything was different. Although they had to pay business taxes, they had to pay before. However, this is not difficult to accept. Moreover, Huang Feng also encourages business, supports businessmen, and improves the status of businessmen. This is naturally more popular with business people.
It can be said that although Huang Feng’s current rule is not long, it has gathered the hearts of merchants and farmers. Of course, the scholars naturally have opinions on Huang Fengpo, and this can be considered as such. A hidden danger, at least, he affected the thinking of some generals and the rebels.
"This place is really big and majestic." Xie Mengjiao said with emotion. They hadn't seen such a quaint and huge ancient city before, but now that they see it, they are naturally filled with emotion.
"Let's go in quickly." Tang Muxue also couldn't wait to say.
"Okay." The few people naturally had no opinion, and went to the city together.
There is an entrance tax for entering the city. This originally existed, and Huang Feng did not cancel it. Therefore, when a few people entered the city, they paid some money. However, the money will be Huang Feng's later. Women naturally have no opinion.
"Wow, it's so lively." As soon as they entered the city, the women exclaimed. Although they have seen the lively downtown area more than once on earth, they now see the excitement of this ancient city. Everyone still feels novel.
Because Huang Feng encourages commerce, there are markets open every day in the imperial capital, and there are more than one. It’s just that the location of the market is regulated. Therefore, as soon as everyone enters the city, they see both sides of the road. A variety of small merchants and hawkers exist, but these people are very rule-abiding, even if there is a city management, they are all hawking in prescribed places, and they dare not run around. For the current court to support them in doing business, they are already very Thank you, naturally you will not break the rules.
In addition to small merchants and vendors, there are also some joint artists performing. These street performers are not the same as those on the earth. On the earth, most street performers just sing, and only a few perform magic or something. The street performers here are more like acrobatic troupes. You can see all kinds of high-altitude performances, and even the broken boulders on the chest, and there are quite a few people around, and all kinds of cheers come and go, which also arouses the curiosity of several women.
"It's really interesting here." The women are all curious. In the past, scenes like this could only be seen on TV. Moreover, that kind of situation was still performed. There is no way to compare with these real scenes. Seeing it with my own eyes now is naturally more interesting.
"Let's go first, there will be time to come here in the future, there are still many fun places here." Huang Feng said.
"Yeah." The women are a little reluctant, but they also know that they can stay here for a year without rushing for a while.
After that, Huang Feng took a few women to the palace. Huang Feng slightly changed his appearance. Then, he took out the token he had prepared before and entered Huangfeng. After all, in the palace, there was one with him. The puppets are exactly the same, in order not to cause trouble, Huang Feng still has to deal with it a little bit.
"This is the imperial palace? It feels more luxurious than the Forbidden City on earth." A few women followed Huang Feng into the imperial palace. This imperial palace was bigger and more luxurious than everyone thought. The Forbidden City, in their opinion, is bigger and more luxurious than the Imperial Palace. Moreover, there are soldiers standing guard everywhere, which is not comparable to the Forbidden City.
"This is mainly because the former emperor enjoyed it too much, but now it's cheaper for me." Huang Feng smiled.
"Then what about his concubines? Are they all cheaper for you?" Xie Mengjiao looked at Huang Feng and said. The other women also looked at Huang Feng with smiles on their faces.
"Ahem." Huang Feng gave a dry cough, and said slightly embarrassed: "Where did you want to go, I arranged for those women to leave the palace, and some were remarried to other officials, but I didn't have any of them myself. Close, and, as soon as I calmed down here, the time came, and then I went out, the emperor did not become the emperor for a day."
"Then the concubine in the palace is the Wushuang sister alone?" Su Yumo said.
"Ok."
"Well, if this is the case, if it takes a long time, won't it cause suspicion? There is no emperor who only has one concubine. Besides, you have to take Wushuang sister out. At that time, there will be no concubine in the palace, then Isn't it even stranger?" Su Yumo said.
"That's right." The other women echoed.
Huang Feng said in a daze, "I didn't think of this before, but it doesn't matter. When we leave, I will exchange a few more puppets and let them be the imperial concubines in the face."
The women nodded, this is a good idea, it can shut up other mouths.
After walking for a long time, everyone arrived in the harem. Here, there are very few soldiers standing guard, but there are more court ladies and eunuchs. These women saw the eunuchs for the first time, and their faces were generally pale, and they were talking. At that time, the voice was relatively shrill.
"You are finally here." In the harem, Huang Feng finally saw Ning Wushuang again, and Ning Wushuang rushed over as soon as he saw Huang Feng. However, when he saw the women beside Huang Feng It stopped again, a little embarrassed.
Huang Feng took a generous step forward, put her in his arms and said, "Thanks for your hard work during this period of time."
"I don't work hard, it's nice to see you." Ning Wushuang leaned against Huang Feng's arms and muttered to himself.
"Well, when I leave this time, I can take you away, and you won't need to stay here alone in the future." Huang Feng said.
"Yeah." Ning Wushuang nodded happily. She has been waiting for a long time on this day. Although she is the queen above all here, she doesn't want this kind of life. She would rather be an ordinary person. I don’t want to stay in this palace every day, and I can only see Huang Feng for a short time every day. After all, Huang Feng has a lot of things. Sometimes, the two don’t even have time to meet. This is not the life she wants. .
And this time, she was finally able to go out with Huang Feng, and of course she was very happy.
"Come on, I'll help you introduce your sisters." Huang Feng said to Ning Wushuang. In fact, even though Ning Wushuang was responsible for some business affairs early on, she was even the queen, but she was in Huangfeng's The youngest of these women is only eighteen years old, at this age on the earth and still in high school.
