【Chapter 572】Deliberately give us a surprise?
The carriage behind suddenly lifted the curtain of the car. An old man poked his head out, holding the same book "Basic Common Sense of the World" in his hand. He looked at the direction where Xu Xingxia disappeared and lowered his head to ponder. After a while, he slowly raised his head and asked slowly: "Wang Genmu, is this written by your adults himself?"
Wang Genmu was just uttered by Xu Xingxia and was in a bad mood. Hearing this, he said unhappy: "Nonsense! It was not written by our adults, was it written by you?"[bsp;
He was in a bad mood and spoke more violently than he had just now. Do you know what Xu Xingxia had just ordered him? There were too many cavalrymen with 300 people, and it was a waste of manpower, material resources and financial resources. Leave a team of fifty or sixty people. Wang Genmu couldn't help but feel a little wronged. I'm just for politeness? It seems that the chairman is not going to give these people a good face! Since that's the case, he naturally didn't show them a good face. However, everyone didn't take Wang Genmu's complaints seriously. Their identities are either respectful or expensive, so how could they care about him? Wang Genmu's appearance is nothing more than a manifestation of Xu Xingxia's will. He specifically chose
It is conceivable to choose such a guy to come to welcome Zhao Nanxing. Even if he doesn't look at Wang Genmu's face, he has to look at Xu Laomo's face. Xu Laomo had already appeared just now, but he didn't say hello. To talk about this, Zhu Yilan and Sa Wanna were accidentally injured. The old man who opened the curtain to speak was Zhao Nanxing. Along the way, in order to avoid some troubles, he was hiding his identity. Now, when he arrived at Xu Xingxia's ground, he had no need to hide his identity. I believe Xu Xingxia had known about his arrival long ago. Xu Xingxia had deliberately not met him just now, and it seemed that he was not very welcome to his arrival.
However, Zhao Nanxing didn't care about Xu Xingxia's attitude. For him, it didn't matter what Xu Xingxia's attitude was. The most important thing was that he had already stepped on the land of Yansui Town and entered the area controlled by Xu Xingxia. Xu Xingxia was responsible for everything that happened here. If he died for no reason, the bad debt would have to be calculated on Xu Xingxia. I guess Xu Xingxia would not do such a stupid thing.
Since Zhao Nanxing is not in danger of life, he has no worries. After all, he is an old man in his sixties or seventies. After experiencing the ups and downs of the Wanli Dynasty, he is confident that he can hold Xu Xingxia in many things. To put it bluntly, he has walked more bridges than Xu Xingxia has walked. He has eaten more salt than Xu Xingxia has eaten. His youngest grandson and son are several years older than Xu Xingxia.
With his life experience and insight, what qualifications are the juniors like Xu Xingxia who are arrogant? Now, the most important thing for him is to have a comprehensive understanding of Ningxia Town. For a long time, the outside world's understanding of Ningxia Town has been vague and without specific cases. Zhao Nanxing came here without hesitation to personally inspect the specific situation of Ningxia Town. Only by taking the right medicine can Xu Xingxia's shortcomings be grasped.
Only by grasping Xu Xingxia's shortcomings can he take the initiative during negotiations and force Xu Xingxia to surrender as much as possible.
The convoy went west, and there were more and more business trips on the road. These business trips used carriages to transport goods. The lightweight carriages ran very fast on the cement road. The four-lane cement road was also enough for the carriages to avoid. Sawanna seemed very curious about this road and was looking around the road. Her continuous inquiries almost made Wang Genmu collapse. However, no matter how unhappy he was, he still had to answer the questions from the guests. Moreover, it was a solid answer. There was no way, this was Xu Xingxia's request.
"Wang Genmu, what's there? Why are so many people gathering together? It looks very chaotic! Are you not worried about any accidents that so many people gather?"
"What accident can happen? There is a farmers' market there. People who farm around can take the things produced at their homes to the farmers' market for sale. You can exchange them for broken silver or exchange them for what you need. The farmers' market does not need to charge commercial taxes."
“Are there many farmers’ markets like this?”
“As long as there are crowds, there are farmers’ markets.”
"So many people gather together, aren't you afraid of something going on?"
"It's really strange. Why do you think that if there are too many people, something will happen? They are all responsible people. They just come here to exchange some goods. What will happen?"
"Oh... By the way, what's going on with the business tax you mentioned?"
"All registered merchants have to pay a certain amount of commercial tax every month. As for how to pay it, I don't know. You can ask others at that time."
"Why do you have to pay taxes when doing business? The Ming Dynasty law stipulates that no taxes are required."
"The Ming Dynasty law is not our law. We stipulate that doing business requires taxes."
"That's unfair. So many light cards have already charged so many tolls...
"We have no barriers here, the roads are unobstructed, and no matter where the business people go, they don't need to be responsible."
"Don't want it from Yansui Town to Gansu Town?"
"Anything is not allowed to be controlled by our White Army!"
As Sawanna and Wang Genmu talked, the convoy came to their first place to settle down. This place is Gaojiabao. Gaojiabao happened to be above the Great Wall, a pass of the Great Wall. According to the Hongwu period, there were 300 guards stationed here. In the past, Gaojiabao was broken and almost no people were present. Now Gaojiabao is busy inside and outside, with people coming and going everywhere.
Sawanna said happily: "Is this a welcome to us?"
Wang Genmu shook his head and said, "Who welcomes your arrival? This is someone's wedding banquet, and we happened to meet him. Well, you are blessed, and the master invited you by the way. But don't say that you came from the capital, so that others will throw wine on you."
Sawanna frowned and said, "Why? I didn't provoke them..."
Zhu Yilan was in the carriage and listened quietly, very concerned about this issue.
Xu Xingxia's voice suddenly came: "You will know the specific reason in a while. Your Highness, Miss Azhu, let's go, let's go to the wedding."
Sa Wanna said in surprise: "Xu Xingxia, why are you here? Didn't you say you're waiting for us in Yulin City? Are you deliberately giving us a surprise?"
Zhu Yilan also plucked up the courage to poke his head out from the carriage and looked at Xu Xingxia.
Xu Xingxia smiled and said, "No, I was caught and stopped. The director of the management committee here recognized me, but I was stopped. I couldn't drink this wedding banquet. However, no one else knew my identity. Therefore, don't leak the secrets! If my identity is leaked, other people's weddings will be affected."
Sawanna nodded repeatedly, looked around, people coming and going, and the sounds were crowded, and she felt very irritating, and kept saying, "Okay, no problem. You say whatever you say."
Xu Xingxia stretched out her hand and asked her to hold her hand and get off the carriage. Sawanna hesitated for a moment about his movement, and then took his hand down happily. After she got down, Xu Xingxia realized that her gentlemanly movement seemed to have not become popular in this era. It is still an era when men and women can not get along with each other!
Sure enough, Zhu Yilan's face turned slightly red and she whispered: "I'll get down by myself."
Xu Xingxia nodded without any action. After Zhu Yilan came down and stood firm, he said, "Please tell Zhao Nanxing and the others, don't expose your identity, so as not to cause trouble. Don't say that you came from the capital."
Zhu Yilan said in a voice: "I understand."
She came to Zhao Nanxing and the others with light steps and reminded her a few words.
Zhao Nanxing and others were half-believing and half-doubted, and looked at Xu Xingxia suspiciously. Obviously, they regarded the wedding in Gaojiabao as Xu Xingxia's arrangement. How could they believe that the people below were so hatred for the court? Since they had such thoughts, everything in front of them seemed like a clown.
Zhu Yilan returned to Xu Xingxia and said embarrassedly: "I said it. But they don't believe it. They probably think it was your intentional arrangement."
Xu Xingxia smiled and said indifferently: "Just say it, no matter them. Let's go too. They said that the wine and food are quite rich, and there is enough fish and meat.
“
As he said that, he subconsciously stretched out his hand and wanted to hold Zhu Yilan's hand into the venue. This was a very natural action in later generations. Judging by the standards of later generations, Xu Xingxia felt that he was fully qualified to hold Zhu Yilan's hand. Unfortunately, he accidentally made mistakes in time and space again. This was the Ming Dynasty, an era when men and women were not allowed to get along.
Zhu Yilan's cheeks turned slightly red and she whispered: "I'll follow you."
Xu Xingxia reacted so much that he had to withdraw his hand and secretly scolded the guards for killing people, not even giving them a hand. But those guards were like men's style, broken sleeves, concubines, and children, flying... They had everything and could do everything they could. The numbness of the silhouette was really only allowed to set fire to the officials in the state, and the people were not allowed to light the lamps. It is said that Zhao Nanxing had many concubines at home, and the old cows were not ashamed to eat tender grass.
Sawanna reached out her hand funnyly and said with a smile: "Or, you can hold my hand!"
