Mortal Immortal Gourd

Beijing.

Huang Mancang and Snivell Bun had arrived in the capital a dozen days ago with 50 people, just in time for the Chinese New Year.

Ergouzi provided enough money, and 52 people spent a lot of money to buy a courtyard in the capital to live in.

Then they bought some New Year's goods in the capital and spent the first New Year in the capital.

The treasury of the Great Zhou Dynasty was empty, the salary was not high, and the salary was in arrears for several years.

As an upright official, Sima Yi usually didn't have much money in his pocket, so he relied entirely on the support of King Qi and Ergouzi for his livelihood.

Life is tight, and we are very frugal in food and drink expenses.

But Er Gouzi is now a wealthy local man. This time Huang Mancang and Shubao came to Beijing and brought a lot of property with them.

Sima Yi gained a lot of glory and lived a good year with Huang Mancang and the others. After eating and drinking enough, he could still pack and take things home.

In the wind and snow, Sima Yi returned to the door of a small courtyard alone, carrying a bunch of items brought by Ergouzi.

He raised his hand and dropped it to the door knocker. Just as he was about to knock it, he took his hand back again. It was too late now.

At this moment, the wood creaked open.

Behind the door, there is a beautiful face with oval seeds, wearing a big red coat.

"Sister-in-law!"

"Xiao'ezi, you still haven't slept so late?"

The person who opened the door at this time was Er Gouzi's cousin, Xiao'ezi.

I was only about 10 years old when I left Anchang County. Now I have grown up and am well-off.

"I was just about to go to bed when I heard movement outside the door, so I opened the door to take a look."

Xiao'ezi explained. Sima Yi took a look at the many footprints on the snow in the courtyard, but he didn't say anything.

He understood what he meant, but there was no way out for what he did. He offended too many people, and it would be difficult for him to end well, and he would not have a family.

"Er Gouzi has brought a lot of good things over. Let's go to the main room and take a look."

Sima Yi carried the big bag of things, waved it in front of Xiao'ezi, and then walked towards the main room.

Xiao'ezi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately followed Sima Yi into the main room.

Inside the house, Sima Yi opened the sack and took out items one by one.

There are peppers that are a specialty of Sanyang County, salted fish from the East China Sea, and dried meat from Blue Eyed Lingniu...

There are also some small magic weapons, decorations, puppets refined by Sanyang County...

Sima Yi took out a set of red robes from inside. This robe was finely made and had dozens of formations engraved on it. It was warm in winter, cool in summer, and dust-free.

"This dress is so beautiful. It was specially prepared for you."

Sima Yi handed the dress to Xiao'ezi.

In addition to these daily necessities, there is also a small wooden box under the bag, which contains several bottles of elixirs.

They are all that Sima Yi and Xiao'ezi can use at this stage.

"Xiao'ezi, although your brother didn't say anything, he actually misses you. When will you go back to Qingzhou to visit him?"

Xiao'ezi held the clothes given by Ergouzi and bit her lip, hesitating in her heart.

At first, neither she nor Er Gouzi mentioned this matter.

But she also guessed that her brother and mother were probably killed by Ergouzi.

Both of them knew it well and actively avoided the topic without mentioning it.

On one side is my best friend Gouzi Ge, and on the other side are my parents and relatives whose blood is thicker than water.

As time passed, the knot in her heart slowly untied. She would be much better if she tried not to think about these things.

"Um!"

"After I celebrate the New Year, I will return to Qingzhou when I have the opportunity."

Xiao'ezi carried the clothes and elixirs given by Ergouzi, walked out of the main room and walked to the east room.

Sima Yi tidied up, then left the main room and walked to the west room, each going back to his own room.

Early the next morning, Sima Yi went to Prince Qi's Mansion again.

Because there are rumors in the capital that King Qi may inherit the throne in the future, the palace of King Qi is also very lively now.

King Qi met Sima Yi in a secret room.

"I heard that the manpower assigned to you by Ergouzi has arrived. What are your plans after the New Year?"

King Qi asked casually while drinking wine.

"I have asked your Majesty for your instructions. After the year, I plan to start from Zhongzhou, which is close to the capital, and promote it county by county..."

Sima Yi said truthfully.

He had stayed in Sanyang County for several years and was very familiar with and recognized Ergouzi's governance methods.

As long as the people of the entire Zhou Dynasty can live a life like that in Sanyang County, it will be good.

He decided to imitate Ergouzi's governance style and promote it throughout the dynasty across the continent.

“To be specific, we need to choose a county first and collect taxes only once based on the land, and no additional taxes are allowed…

Build a martial arts school so that all poor children have the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination...

Strictly enforce the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty..."

Sima Yi explained his thoughts in detail.

King Qi nodded. He felt that although such a policy was good, it would be very difficult to implement.

"Okay! If you encounter difficulties during this trip, as long as I can help, I will do my best to help..."

After Sima Yi said goodbye to King Qi, he set out with his people the next day.
