At the night in Jianpu City, the most lively place is a snack. The workers in groups of three or three have finished their day's fatigue. They buy some food here and chat while eating. This is the most relaxed and happy time of the day.

"Lao Qu, do you want your wife?" Lao Zhang took a hard bite of the pancake. It was so delicious. He and Lao Qu both burn bricks in the kiln factory. They just paid their wages today and came to the city to find some food to reward himself.

"Of course I think, but my family still has more than three acres of land and can't get out. In this city, renting a house is not small, and there is no good idea for a while." Lao Qu's family is in the mountains of the countryside, about fifty miles away from Jianpu City, not far away, but the kiln factory will definitely not be able to go back if it doesn't take a rest. He and Lao Zhang rented a house, which can save a little. Most of the monthly wages were asked to be taken back by someone.

"You said, only three acres of land are busy all year round, and they can't collect much grain. As far as I'm concerned, it's better to sell the land directly and ask your wife to come here and work in the workshop. I heard that the female worker is still collecting people, and the wages have increased again." Lao Zhang was also worried about this, but he still couldn't make up his mind. Now that he said it, he also wanted Lao Qu to take a look at it.

"Although I can't collect much food, I can always have a settlement in my heart when I am here, otherwise I will be unsure. Besides, if I come to the city, my children will have to come. I have to rent a big house, which is too expensive." Lao Qu felt that working in this city would not last for a lifetime. Since I have to go back to my hometown sooner or later, if I have land here, there is a way out.

"I have calculated that I want to sell the more than five acres of land in my family, which can be sold for more than 40 taels of silver. Outside the west gate, it costs eighty taels to buy a small house, a three-bay room, without a yard. I still have some savings in my hand, and then go to the bank to borrow twenty taels, and I can pay it back in three years. The conditions in this city are always better. As long as I am willing to endure hardships, I can find a job." Lao Zhang felt that if I stayed in the village all my life, my children would be unsavory in the future. Now that I have the chance, I might as well move to the city. There are more and more work in this city, and the houses will definitely become more and more expensive. I might as well start as soon as possible and buy a good house, and the location is better.

"This, when I go to a bank to borrow money, I always feel a little scared. What if something goes wrong, what should I do if I can't pay it back." Lao Qu was a little moved. The family settled in the city, went out to work in the morning, and the family could be reunited at night. Occasionally, when I was still resting, I took my children out to play or cook some food. That day was beautiful.

"I'm so afraid that the boss of this money house is Lord Sun. Now it's time for the marquis. Since the marquis came here, life will get better and better in the future." Lao Zhang seemed to cheer up Lao Qu, but he also helped him make up his mind. Selling land has been made by a spendthrift since ancient times, and this decision is not easy.

"I'll do it, wait for the rest and go home to do this." Lao Qu felt sorry for this and did it. It's always inappropriate to let his wife take care of her children at home.

"Sure, let's go together. When we choose a house, we will be neighbors and we will have some help." Lao Zhang smiled and Lao Qu made up his mind, so he naturally would not retreat.

At the stall next to him, Eunuch Gao and Dou Yi ordered some tea and snacks, listening to all this in their ears. Eunuch Gao nodded secretly. Sun Yu had a high opinion of the people, and he didn't know whether it would be a blessing or a disaster in the future. There was no such thing as the king in the eyes of these people. Although Eunuch Gao heard it in his ears, he would only be in his heart. No one could say this in front of anyone, and Eunuch An would not do it.

"Eunuch Gao, I understand, what is the difference between the people here and other places." Dou Yi had never understood why before.

The people here have different eyes. Now, after listening to the conversation between the two, they finally have some clarity.

"Of course different. The marquis can fight when he gets on horseback, and he can govern the people. Life in Jianzhou is richer than most places." Eunuch Gao felt that Jianzhou, at least in Jianpu City, can be considered to be full of food and clothing. There are not many places in the world that can make the people full.

"It's not only wealth, but also hope. These ordinary people feel that life has hope, and they will live better and better in the future, so there is a different kind of spirit in their eyes." Dou Yi burped and sighed. Could it be that this Jianzhou has reached the standard of the prosperous Zhenguan era? At least there is no such place under the rule of the Song Dynasty.

"Mr. Dou is very careful. Two years ago, this is still a place where no one wants to come, and people are living in poverty." Eunuch Gao knew that the bandits were rampant here before, especially Jianpu City, which was ten rooms and ten empty.

"A good official in governing the world. I have to go and get some trouble, and Eunuch Gao wait." Dou Yi drank too much tea and had to go and get some trouble.

He turned around the stall, walked to the back of the corner of the shop, lifted up the hem, and let the water go to the corner of the wall. After that, he shook. He felt so happy. When Wan Feng blew, he even sobered up a few minutes of alcohol.

"Hurinate anywhere, tell me, should I clean the street for one day, or pay a fine of fifty cents?" An old woman with a red armband on her left arm stood quietly behind Dou Yi. The follower next to him saw the old woman, but there was obviously no threat, so he did not stop her.

"What? Who are you?" Dou Yi was stunned and quickly tied up his belt. Why did an old woman dare to care about him? She immediately asked.

"The old woman is from the sanitation department under the yamen. She is responsible for cleaning the streets and picking up irregular things. Your behavior is written clearly in the rules of the city gate of Jianpu City, and there is no false words to deceive you." The old woman saw Dou Yi's attitude, and she was also a decent person. Why did she do things to urinate and defecate anywhere? Now in Jianpu, even idle men know how to go to public toilets.

"If I ignore it, what will you do?" Dou Yi didn't take the fifty cents seriously, but he felt a little unhappy. He was fined for no reason. Except for the Song Dynasty Palace, there was no place where Dou Yi dared not let go.

"Then I can only ask people to watch. The trace is still there. With witnesses, I can go to the yamen to tell me." The old woman looked contemptuous and let go to the yamen to urinate and defecate anywhere, but she still doesn't want to pay a fine? She took out the gong and hammer from her back with both hands, and was about to hit her and asked someone to watch her.

"Well, wait a moment, I didn't bring the money, so I'll go and get it now." Dou Yi knew something was wrong when he saw this posture. The people were coming and going, and he knocked it down with a heavy hammer. He couldn't even get away. Now everyone is short of entertainment activities this night. If he doesn't pay the money, his grand grand sect in the Song Dynasty would be regarded as a monkey.

"No, what if you run away?" The old woman didn't take this trick. She was catching the thief and getting the stolen goods. Once she walked away, she could not obtain evidence.

"You, come here." Dou Yi waved to a guard looking at this side, without any eyesight. He didn't see that he was in trouble, and he didn't know how to ask.

"Give her fifty pennies and let her go quickly." Dou Yi looked unhappy. Jianpucheng was indeed hurrying, but there were too many rules and I couldn't adapt to it for a while.

"So cheap?" The guard obviously thought a little bit. I don't know what deal the two of them reached in the corner. Speaking of which, Lord Dou's hobbies are quite special.

"Another nonsense, I'll go back to deal with you." Dou Yi's forehead was about to explode, and he still

It’s hard to explain, after all, being caught in the air is not a glorious thing.

"Sir Dou, why have you been there for so long?" When Dou Yi came back to sit down, Eunuch Gao was a little puzzled. Don't let it get rid of it. Something really happened. This is a big trouble. It's better to send it back to Da Song as soon as possible.

"That, there are some misunderstandings, it's not a problem." Old Dou Yi's face turned red. It was not easy to say about this. The light of the lantern was dim, and Eunuch Gao did not notice any abnormality.

"Sir, please keep your bills. If you want to go to the toilet in the future, if you see that sign is not there, follow the arrow and walk half a mile away, there will be a public toilet." The old woman ordered the money, took out the bills from her bag, walked to Dou Yi's table, placed the bills on the table, pointed to the mark in the corner of the wall and said.

"This is..." Eunuch Gao took the bill in Dou Yi's confused expression, and saw that it said: Urinate and defecate anywhere, and fined fifty.

"Eunuch Gao, I'm a little sleepy, so go back to the inn first." The people passing by pointed at Eunuch Gao and the bills in his hand. Obviously, they all knew that the thing was a fine bill for urinating and defecating anywhere.

"Me, what's this..." Eunuch Gao stood up with the bill, looked at Dou Yi who was walking away quickly, and everyone who pointed at him, messed up in the wind alone, not me urinating.

"Littering, fined twenty cents, or cleaning the street for a long time, you can do it." Eunuch Gao kneaded the bills into a ball and was about to throw them away, but the old woman wearing a red armband came over and kindly reminded her. She knew that this person was not the real master and was misunderstood.

"You, I..., take it, put it away." Eunuch Gao pointed to the old woman, then looked at Dou Yi, who had only his back, stuffed the bill into the guard's hand, and was ready to return to the inn. It was so embarrassing here.

The guards collected the bills, which was a fine bill from Grand Secretary Dou of the Song Dynasty, and it was very rare to urinate and defecate anywhere. I had to think of a way. If Master Dou could stamp a seal on it, the value of this thing would be 50 taels, but I guess they would not.

"Mr. Dou, today's matter is not authentic." When Eunuch Gao entered the inn, he saw Dou Yi taking the four treasures of the study. This was the rhythm of preparing to write about the experiences in Jianzhou.

"What's the matter?" Dou Yi was stunned, as if he had no idea that he had cheated Eunuch Gao.

"Do you remember this fine bill?" Eunuch Gao was stunned. Unexpectedly, such a great scholar was so frugal, and he didn't know what to do.

"Fine? I'm in a hurry to go out and don't even bring any money. How could there be any fine?" Dou Yi made up his mind to refuse to admit it. It was too embarrassing to spread it. However, I thought about it on the way back. This public toilet is indeed a good thing. When I go back, I can suggest the government to build more in Kaifeng. Nowadays, Kaifeng is cleaner on the streets, and those dark corners are often stinky.

"Grandmaster, hey, it's better not to mention it." Eunuch Gao had no choice. If he was an official from the Tang Dynasty, he would have to deal with it anyway. But, let alone him, the king of the country would not dare to touch him easily.

The next morning, after Dou Yi got up, he saw Eunuch Gao drinking with a bowl of porridge. Two big buns were placed next to him. One of them was bitten open, and the juice was everywhere, and he was well-trained.

As soon as Dou Yi sat down, a friend brought the porridge over, and there was an egg and steamed bun.
