Hong Yu was depressed, but he remained silent. He listened quietly to the two girls, Jiang Lishuo and Mo Ning Xiang, as they walked together on the street. The atmosphere was harmonious.
Clatter! Clatter! Clatter!
At this moment, a group of soldiers, approximately a hundred people, formed an orderly group, running and patrolling the streets.
While they were running, they were singing a loud and clear military song. Their voices were like a torrent, rumbling incessantly, but it gave people a great sense of security, at least this way, they would no longer be able to see the hoodlums, the hoodlums, and the people who did not commit crimes.
Even the commoners, who were in hot pursuit of the 'great star', Luo Tian Xian, had stopped bowing and calming down when they saw these soldiers.
On the streets, there were also some citizens who were dressed like government officials, who were responsible for maintaining law and order in the market and cleaning the city. There were even some who were dressed like government officials, who were responsible for cleaning the street and helping the government with their work. It was because of the existence of these people that the whole bazaar could be kept clean and orderly at all times.
"This is a street filled with weapons, but there are also many clothing shops, silks, and even some places that sell the fur of wild beasts. This street is over ten miles long." As they walked, Mo Ning Xiang explained to Hong Yu, "Over there is a street of teahouses, but there are also places that scholars would go. They would sell some of the Four Treasures of the Scholars and other things that scholars would use. Brothels of the brothels were on the other side, along the two sides of the river. They were bustling with noise and excitement, especially in the past few days when the number one 'star' and 'top courtesan' had arrived here. They would definitely attract countless people to come here and drive the business of these brothels of the brothels. "They are newly built, but they are much more prosperous than the capital. There is even a casino next to the brothel."
"I don't like those." There is light and darkness opposite to each other in this world, so it is reasonable for there to exist. For some things, you cannot prohibit them, and instead, they will backfire on you, so you might as well take them to the table and put them under the sun to dry, and then it will become much cleaner. At least, it will be much more comfortable than sneaking around, and it will also reduce the risk of instability.
"That's right. At least a tenth of the taxes in the country are currently paid by these casinos and brothels. Although the imperial government does not prohibit gambling with prostitutes, it does not advocate that if one wants to run this business, one has to pay a sky-high tax every month, or else it would be illegal to do so and would have to be banned. Of course, this is an imperceptible restriction on these industries. " Jiang Liushuo nodded too. "This is a flourishing situation, enlightened king king. Look at these citizens, all smiles and happy families, and look at these children. They are all very happy and innocent. Although we, the Li Que Wonderland, are a blessed land left behind by the Martial God and have built our own bloodline, count us as a small country with hundreds of thousands of people living in it. We live like a peach blossom in the holy abode and we don't need to eat or drink, we are too far behind when compared to the Great Flood Dynasty. "
"I wonder how long this scene will last. Would it be a shooting star in the blink of an eye, or would it last for thousands of years?" Hong Yu's heart was filled with worry. What he feared the most was to become prosperous and decline. When that time came, his wealth and peace would be gone and the world would once again fall into chaos.
"There's a good Body Refinement Pellet being auctioned today. The starting price of one pellet is one thousand yuan, and the top hundred shopkeepers can also witness the Alchemy Master opening the furnace to refine the pellets. They'll see it done with their own eyes, so this store is absolutely honest." Banners and signs hung from the entrance of a few auction houses, and a few workers were shouting by the side of the road. They held stacks of papers in their hands and handed one to anyone who passed by: "Everyone, pass by here, don't miss it."
Following their shouts, many carriages stopped in front of the auction house's entrance. A few richly dressed country bumpkins got off the carriage and entered the auction house, rushing to be the first to enter.
Body tempering was something that could strengthen the body and strengthen the vital energy and blood. It was something that some rogue cultivators thought of as extraordinary. Perhaps in the eyes of some rich clans, it was nothing and was common in many counties and counties.
The imperial government was very ambitious, and wanted to completely develop the frontier. Various experts and characters got up one after another, and more and more gathered, among them were some experts in alchemy, who knew how to concoct pills, and some experts in alchemy who specialized in making money by concocting pills. This way, they would be able to achieve great things.
Of course, the most powerful people in the Great Hong Dynasty were the descendants of the seventy-two Martial Gods who possessed the ancient Martial God bloodline, i.e., the descendants of the Martial God Cave. For example, the descendants of the Martial God Cave, the descendants of the supreme Martial God, the descendants of the seventy-two Martial God bloodlines possessed the ancient Martial God bloodline, that was also the descendants of the Martial God Cave. "In their illustrious times, they could even control the rise and fall of their dynasties. With a single sentence, they could cripple the future of their dynasties, and even the imperial court would have to look up to them with respect, fearing that they would join hands and control the divine artifact of the World, overthrow their rule, and that they would have a close relationship with the ancient sects of the three thousand Mysteries and those external immortals.
Secondly, in the past, or now, there was a family that was accepted into the outside world and had become a Taoist of the outer world. Now, that person was very proud of himself and would naturally lead his family to prosper, no one dared to offend him, and he would occupy the foundation of an entire region. He would be a talent without any background, and even though he did not have the roots of those ancient families, he still had a huge influence.
Finally, there were the rich and powerful aristocrats of the imperial government, such as the aristocratic families of the 12 great dukes, the Iron-Blood Family, the Long Family, and the Yan Family. There were also the three officials, the generals, and the families of the cabinet ministers who held great power in the imperial court. Although they were not as powerful as the hundreds of families of the Middle Ages, they were still powerful enough to suppress the Wealthy Class.
Before the Hongwu Dynasty, only the hundred clans of the Middle Ancient Era, or seventy-two Heavenly Passages, and those disciples of the External Mysterious Gate could enjoy the Body Refinement Pellet. Now, this kind of pellet could even be purchased by the lowest class of people in the country and had the opportunity to witness the entire process of refining a pellet with their own eyes.
In Da Hong, martial arts masters who were proficient in alchemy and smithing were collectively known as Fang Shi. Their bloodlines were often passed down, and their sect's views were deeply rooted; they would rather lose the inheritance of their unique skills than refine or refine pills in front of outsiders. However, right now, Emperor Hongwu had brought over a hundred clans and was the sole ruler of the martial way. All the other scholars had to be suppressed and their identities simply could not be recognized. Even the "Fang Xian Dao", which originated from the ancient times and was known as the "Two Alchemy Masters in Refining and Refining," had been recruited by Emperor Hongwu and sent to the Divine Arts Academy to conduct various research and develop all kinds of new pills and tools.
The imperial government had even ordered the formation of Alchemy Association, Refining Union, and various ancient books for the interested martial artists to study and study. When they had mastered their skills, they could even join one of the two great unions to take their examinations, becoming either an alchemist or a refiner. There were also many levels and divisions, and the most outstanding among them could choose to enter the Divine Arts Academy and become a master craftsman, a master craftsman, or even a saint craftsman …
Hong Yu calmed down and carefully thought about the changes that had occurred in the world over the past few years. Everything seemed like a dream, and it seemed too surreal, and many ideas that had never appeared were put forward, one after another that had never appeared, and even an organization that no one dared to think of was formed.
Emperor Hongwu had appeared just like that. Without any forewarning, he had changed the entire world.
Even if the Sky Execution were to descend one day and Emperor Hong Wu disappeared, all that he had done would be remembered by history, by everyone who enjoyed such a beautiful sight.
