Chapter 16 Trouble
"..." Ouyang was speechless in the near county, he was deadly. The worst horse was thirty stakes, and the lowest price of donkeys was twelve stakes. Ouyang murmured for a long time and said to Ou Ping: "Let's walk."
So Ouyang gave up the horse buying plan and purchased some clothes and daily necessities in the neighboring county. After only three days of staying in the neighboring county, big news came out, and the local county magistrate was dismissed from office and investigated. Ouyang didn't think so much about it. In his opinion, it was the case for anyone to be an official. The common people were like buying a 3T horse ticket. To buy a good local official, it had to be as much time as the price.
...
After spending more than half a month, Ouyang and the others finally arrived in Hangzhou Prefecture. Ouyang was tired all the way, and he had never walked so many roads since the 21st century womb. He originally wanted to enjoy the flowers and the moon, but now the aura of people is close to the wind of ancient people. But he didn't expect that the real taste was really not good. Even if the weather was good, the weather was not good, the official road was muddy, and various livestock manure mixed together...
The three-year state examination is still more than a month away. The five counties under Hangzhou Prefecture (New City and near virtual) have also arrived one after another. The first thing the students did when they arrived was to register at the Imperial College. After Ouyang received the answer that he would not be held accountable if he did not take the exam, he signed up generously.
As the saying goes, there is paradise above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. This sentence starts from the Sui Emperor's complete opening of the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou. This Grand Canal is not only a major canal transport route, but also allows Hangzhou to maintain prosperity and development in the next thousand years of history and become a support for the multicultural center. And among the canals, the most conspicuous ones are not salt ships or merchant ships, but painting boats with red flowers and green willows.
As one of the two oldest professions, the brothel profession flourished in the commercial city in the central Song Dynasty. Their existence further led to the prosperity of business. Among the states of the Northern Song Dynasty, the prefect of Hangzhou was the most plump errand.
"So many beautiful women." Ou Ping blushed and lowered his head to follow Ouyang through the flower street.
"It's a pity that your young master doesn't have much money, so I can't break your body." Ouyang laughed. This ancient prostitute industry is much crueler than that of modern prostitutes. According to his casual listening in teahouses and taverns, a prostitute who sells his body in Hangzhou costs about 5 cents of overnight spending. If you buy art but not your body, the cost of tea and other things is at least 20 cents. The most expensive one is to buy art occasionally. Among the four famous buildings in Hangzhou, there is such a courtesan. This payment procedure is difficult to say. Maybe you don't want your money, and maybe you will get a hundred or ten cents of gold.
Ouyang brought Ou Ping today just to have a free time...
In order to improve his reputation, in every state examination, major brothels will introduce their own marketing methods. For example, Mingqing, the head of Fengyun Pavilion, the head of Fengyun Pavilion, can be seen as a stage name. In the common rules, first- and second-class brothel naming houses, halls, and pavilions. These are related to the government. They are not secretly related, but openly. For example, Mingqing's father was once a fourth-rank official in the court, but his home was confiscated due to economic problems. His father was chopped up, the man was exiled, and all the women were sold to official slaves.
This time, Mingqing's marketing method is: make friends with poetry. If any family that is sure to be accused of her, she can go to the pleasure boat for free to enjoy a full day of service, and the most important thing is to be free of charge throughout the whole process.
"It looks so good." On the second floor of the pleasure boat, a beautiful man pushed the window with a fan in his hand, shyly and looked down, and the students praised each other. Some brainless people made such remarks, and they died after a night of love.
"Master, why are we here for?"
"Take you to see the world." Ouyang added: "By the way, check out the rules of these industries."
"rule?"
Ouyang lay in Ou Ping's ear and said, "Young Master, I want to steal the test questions."
"..." Ou Ping immediately covered his mouth, afraid that he would scream.
"I have investigated that those officials often boarded Mingqing's ship, either talking about business or talking about Fenghua."
Ou Ping asked again: "Young Master has no idea about Mingqing?"
"No!" Ouyang said, "I can only pretend to be a boatman... but the key is too far away, so it's a little difficult to start. Alas... If I give me another year, I can just take the imperial edict and pretend to be the imperial guards and almost get the first place."
"...Young Master, you dare to think too hard." Ouping's thunder resistance has greatly improved.
"I dare not think about anything, I have seen the imperial edict before. I can make that seal in half an hour. The more troublesome is the fabric." Oujiazhuang enshrines the imperial edict of Taizu. Ouyang took it out and saw it. There is no big problem, and the anti-counterfeiting methods are very poor. Unfortunately, I don't even understand the most basic official configuration now, and I will definitely reveal it if I can't say three sentences. And if the gang is involved in the crime, I will not believe it even if I and Ou Ping are not convinced.
Not far from the gathering of students, there is a very ordinary sedan chair, but pay attention to the strong men around and know that it is very unusual. A person in the sedan chair asked: "That's what you mentioned Ouyang?"
"Back to the princess, this is this person!"
"Why do you need such trouble? I just ask someone to take it. I look like a disciple."
"I promised..."
"I know your temperament... However, I cannot ignore the people who bully me. I will give you a hand after a while. As for how you deal with him, you can be happy."
Ouyang turned his head casually, and with some confusion, he fell on the sedan chair. The more he looked at him, the more he became more confused, and the more he looked at him, the more shocked he became. Ou Ping glanced at the sedan chair and asked, "Young Master, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I hope it's not for us." Ouyang pulled Ouping and walked a few steps to the left.
"Young Master, are you ready for your poem?"
"Poetry?" There are two or three poems in Tang Dynasty. Of course, I know some of the others, but the most troublesome thing is that I can't tell which poem is from which era. If I go up and shout the bright moonlight in front of the bed, I will probably be thrown into the river to feed the fish. Ouyang said: "No preparation. Listen well, I'll go back to the inn now. After counting to thirty, you look back at the sedan chair. After you look carefully, how many people follow me. Where did the sedan chair go in the end?"
"What's wrong with the young master?"
"It's a bit strange. I changed the position of the sedan chair where I couldn't see it. They immediately adjusted the position of the sedan chair and let me see it. I hope it's because I'm too careful."
"Isn't it just an ordinary sedan chair? Maybe some girl came to see the clerks."
