Chapter 453: The Man of One Piece
"Yes, yes, it is the beacon fire that plays with the princes. I seem to have heard someone talk about it before. Some people said that she used her beauty to bewitch the king. Isn't it because King Zhou You is fatuous? It's not the beacon fire that was praised..." Lu Lingqi frowned
.
Lan Tian looked at Lu Lingqi twice to make sure that the other party was not deliberately punching her, but that she probably had sympathy for women.
"Beauty is indeed lethal. Do you want to hear another story?" Lan Tian suggested.
"Okay, your husband is the best at telling stories." Lu Lingqi clapped her hands happily.
Lantian Zhengse said: "The protagonist of the story is Xia Ji, a princess of the Zheng Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period. Her life was filled with beauty and beauty, unparalleled in ancient times..."
Xia Ji's story was even shorter, and Lan Tian completed the popular science in just a few seconds. Lu Lingqi was stunned after listening to it.
"Killing three husbands, a king and a son, and destroying a country and two ministers. It's hard to believe how beautiful Xia Ji can be. You didn't make up this story, right?" Lu Lingqi asked curiously.
Lan Tian quickly shook his head: "This is not a fabrication, the story comes from "Zuo Zhuan"."
"This man has no virtues as a woman. Even if he has a world-class appearance, I wouldn't care at all. My husband won't dislike my ugly appearance, right?" Lu Lingqi turned around and asked.
Lan Tian was startled when he heard this, and then said with a leisurely smile: "There were many absurd things in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is almost difficult to show up now. What if Xiaojun humbles himself because of his ugly appearance? Is there any woman in the world who dares to meet others? Besides, you support your husband and raise your children.
How can Xia Ji compare? Stop thinking so wildly."
"Oh... By the way, there is something I almost forgot to tell you. Military Master Xu has been married for ten years, but he still has no children. Although his mother has not mentioned it, she can see that she is a little disappointed. You and he have never been friends with each other.
Why don't you ask the reason?" Lu Lingqi reminded.
"I mentioned it to him just now, but it's a pity that Yuan Zhi seems to be deliberately avoiding this question. I wonder if there is something unspeakable."
Lantian thought about it and found it strange. Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu were both very resourceful. Even though they had been married for a long time and had no children, they both had the same problem. They didn't know whether the problem was the man or the woman. It was hard for outsiders to ask more questions.
"I know that patients should not be denied medical treatment, but it is not okay for Military Master Xu to do this. It is said that Xu's mother was not on good terms with Yuan Zhi's wife because of this matter, and she did not bring her to Guangzhou this winter..." Lu Lingqi sighed.
Lan Tian frowned, thinking that he wanted to help Xu Shu solve this problem. This guy was easily hampered by housework, and his worries had to be solved. Regardless of whether he was a man or a woman, a doctor would only know if he had a problem.
Xu Shu's wife was from the Jingzhou Xiang family, and Xu's mother did not dare to make a mistake because she was quite powerful. However, if the woman really affected the inheritance of the family line, Lan Tian planned to ask Zhuge Liang or Pang Tong to come forward and let them make the decision to give Xu Shu a concubine.
"Don't worry, Xiaojun, I will figure out a solution for this matter." Lan Tian's eyes rolled to his mind.
The next morning, Xu Shu and Xu's mother came to the door again. Lan Tian unexpectedly did not hold Lan Qing in his arms.
"Are you finally willing to let go?" Xu Shu joked.
Lan Tian shook his head: "Qing'er is asleep and hasn't woken up yet, so I can relax my arms. Yuan Zhi, you came just in time. Let's go for a walk on the street. You have to keep an eye on the planning of Guangzhou City."
"Ziyu wants me to do some tricks in my class?" Xu Shu looked confused.
Lantian responded with a smile: "Let's go, there must be my teacher among the three of us..."
As soon as Xu Shu entered the door, he was pulled back to the street by Lan Tian. The two of them wandered around the central government area. The centralized administrative office area not only made it convenient for people to do things conveniently, but also made communication in the government office easier.
"I want to ask you something. The four main roads in Guangzhou City, the east, west, south and north, and the three east, west and south are all named, but the main road in the north is not named. Why?" Xu Shu was very confused.
"Of course I don't want to leave it blank, but it's a pity that I don't have a suitable name." Lan Tian shook his head.
The main road to the east is called Wolong Street, the main road to the south is called Fengchu Street, and the main road to the west is called Xuan Oiao Street. Only the main road to the north lacks a road number.
Xu Shu smiled and said: "Why should Ziyu be limited by the name of the road? Isn't it possible to choose other names? I think Xuande Avenue, Yunchang Avenue, Yide Avenue can all be used..."
"Is that called Yuanzhi Avenue?" Lan Tian asked following the other person's words.
Xu Shu shook his head, "That's not possible."
Lantian was thinking while walking, and suddenly he had an idea and said: "Yuan Zhi, what do you think of Taoyuan Avenue? I think it is very meaningful that the three brothers of the Lord are sworn in Taoyuan."
"Uh... That's true. Ziyu, you mentioned my lord, why don't we go for a walk near the Cultural and Educational Branch? Will there be room for them in Guangzhou City?" Xu Shu asked.
"Yuan Zhi, you have seen it. There are still a lot of open spaces in the entire inner city. How can I short them?"
When Lan Tian shook his head and sighed, he found that they had arrived at the door of the Medical Department. No wonder Xu Shu had to make an excuse to leave. This guy had prepared well for a rainy day.
The two turned and headed east. When passing by the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, they found someone watching outside the door. Gao Yuan strode forward and prepared to drive away, but found that it was an acquaintance, Wang Shi, the shopkeeper of Panyu Trading Company.
Wang Shi was overjoyed when he saw Gao Yuan and followed his direction to find Lan Tian. He walked forward with a small step and saluted: "The last people have seen the king..."
"So it's shopkeeper Wang, why are you here?" Lan Tian asked curiously.
"Don't you encourage maritime trade? In the past two years, I have spent some time buying ships and training sailors. However, the wind and waves on the sea are really strong. I can only walk along the coastline to Hepu, Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen and other places. I really can't go there.
Far away, I..." Wang Xi stopped talking.
Lan Tian asked: "Is it possible that Shopkeeper Wang suffered a loss in maritime trade?"
Wang Shi shook his head and said: "Sea trade involves shipbuilding and shipwright costs, so it is not as profitable as the merchants in Guangzhou, but it can barely make enough food and clothing..."
Lantian frowned warily, "The scale of trade in Guangzhou City is not small. This is just the current commercial prosperity. In addition to Jiaozhou's rich products, the most fundamental reason is that Guangzhou's workshops can produce batches. In order to make the trade area in the city more standardized,
A transaction tax will be levied starting next year."
"No more tax exemption?" Wang Xi didn't believe it.
Lan Tian shook his head and said: "The prosperity of trade has made city management more difficult. I think other states and counties will impose taxes, right? Tax exemption is only a temporary measure, but maritime trade will still be tax-free."
Wang Shi was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly explained: "The Mo people have no intention of giving up maritime trade. It's just that the man-made ships I'm looking for can't withstand the wind and waves. I heard that General Li is building ships in Dongfang Gulf. Can I pay for two ships?"
A ship? That way it can sail further."
"Of course, I have long-term support for the Maritime Trade Association. I will explain this matter to General Li Yi. Tomorrow you go to Dongfang Gulf to meet him." Lan Tianxin said that you originally wanted to buy a ship, so naturally you are trying to increase your finances by hunting rabbits.
income.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Fu. The people will not bother you anymore." Wang Shi bowed his hands and bowed before retreating.
Lantian stretched out his hand to stop: "Be bold when you have new ships. There are some small countries in the south of Jiuzhen. If it is convenient, can you bring me some food? I heard that the rice there tastes good."
"Write it down for the last people."
