The court changes hands?
Su Chen was a little surprised when he heard these words.
"Brother, what you said is not appropriate."
Su Chen pretended to be worried.
After all, talking about the imperial court like this would make normal people feel scared.
Seeing Su Chen's look, several people next to him laughed silly again.
"Don't worry, don't worry, the current Zhou Dynasty has changed hands, and everyone in the capital knows it.
And the people in power now have no intention of blocking everyone's mouths on this kind of thing. ”
During the conversation, Su Chen gradually understood the meaning of this change of ownership.
On the surface, nothing has changed in the court.
The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty still exists and is still a royal family with a noble status.
But in today's Great Zhou Dynasty, political affairs are no longer decided by the Great Zhou royal family.
They can still enjoy some of the benefits brought by imperial power and their noble status.
But regarding the future of the entire Zhou Kingdom, the Zhou royal family has no say in it.
In the current imperial court, the person in power is the Prime Minister.
In other words, the power of the prime minister is higher than the power of the emperor at this moment.
And the prime minister of the imperial court in the future will be determined by the twelve strongest sects in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, the Zhou Kingdom was equivalent to kicking the Zhou royal family out of the core circle.
This was the backlash that those previous events had brought to the Zhou royal family.
He colluded with Wulan Villa to attack other sects, but failed again.
That's embarrassing, there are so many sects in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
After seeing these methods of the royal family, it was natural to take action.
Now, the interests occupied by the Zhou royal family have been divided up.
“Now in the capital, tax revenue has dropped a lot.
You see, there are many more businessmen than before.
The Zhuangzi shop in the capital has gone up a lot. Who wants to buy two more units before and now make a lot of money? ”
Su Chen could also clearly feel that it was more lively here.
Apparently, it was because of the decline of the Zhou royal family.
The part of the tax that previously belonged to them has been reduced or reduced.
The major sects may not be so kind, and their original intention may not be for the sake of the people.
But other sects cannot collect this capital tax so easily.
If it is not lowered, it may continue to fall into the hands of the royal family.
Let them borrow these resources and do something else.
Simply reduce it directly.
Let the people in the capital recognize this matter more and avoid many hidden dangers.
When Su Chen heard this, he understood why the people in front of him were all smiling when talking about this matter.
The people in Beijing are definitely satisfied with the current situation.
Ordinary people generally don't care who is in power.
Whoever can make people live a better life will win their recognition.
"Little brother, if you want to come to the capital to do business, I would definitely advise you to think carefully before.
But now, I think you can come directly.
After the Zhou royal family did not mix these things, they no longer had so many rules and regulations, and business was much easier to do.
By the way, what kind of business does the little brother do? ”
The older guys talked more and more enthusiastically, and some of them were also very enthusiastic.
When asked what kind of business Su Chen was in, he was preparing to give Su Chen some more suggestions.
"Reselling some elixirs to make a little money."
Su Chen said with a smile.
When they heard that he was selling elixirs, several people looked at Su Chen even more.
Ordinary elixirs may not be very rare for warriors.
But for ordinary people, that is a business that they are not qualified to touch.
In the elixir family, many warriors are not even qualified to talk.
It is indeed extraordinary that ordinary people can have access to these.
From the time Su Chen told him that he was running the elixir business, several brothers had already constructed a superior identity for Su Chen.
Even if Su Chen didn't say anything, they still had various assumptions in their minds.
After these questions, Su Chen asked about Wulan Villa.
The reason why the Great Zhou royal family is in this situation today is because they got involved with Wulan Villa.
Many people in the capital actually knew that Wulan Villa sent people to the capital to look for Su Chen's family.
There was quite a big fuss at that time, and searches all over the capital had never happened before.
So several years have passed, but the people in the capital are still deeply impressed.
"Obviously, I'm not here anymore, and what are you looking for in the capital?
Other people's families must be hiding in that kind of secret place.
Deep in the mountains and old forests, self-sufficient.
Our territory is vast, so if they have the ability, they can just look for it and see if they can find it in their next life. ”
"In the past two years, only those who dream of reaching the sky in one step are still looking for traces of others.
If you find it, you can go to Jin Kingdom and join Wulan Villa.
Anyway, it sounds really good.
But it can only sound good. Who knows what the real situation is like.
It’s possible that if the conditions are met, others won’t honor the reward. ”
The brothers in front of me seemed to have some objections to the power of the Jin State.
"I think if you don't have enough ability, what if you go to a big sect?
Over there in the West Alley, Yuanyang Sect, Yunyang Sect, where Chen Yuanwai's son spent money.
Even if he went to a large sect, he would still be a marginal figure.
There is absolutely no way to get access to anything useful. ”
When Su Chen heard their discussion, he just smiled and occasionally nodded.
Most of the time, ordinary people actually live very transparently.
Going to Wulan Villa, if you don't have talent, you will still be a marginal person. There is no suspense about this.
After eating something, Su Chen found a reason to leave.
Then with some vigilance, he walked to the house where grandma and little sister lived.
Now that I have changed my appearance again, my mother-in-law and my little sister should not be able to recognize him even if they meet.
Walk all the way over there.
I felt a little uneasy.
In order to ensure the safety of both of them, he has not contacted A-Niang for so long.
Not a single letter was written.
I don’t know how they are doing now.
When he walked to a section of the market, Su Chen finally relaxed.
The worry and anxiety on his face were all covered with peace of mind.
Grandma and my little sister are still selling cloth in the market.
From a stealth perspective, this is a very good idea.
After integrating into the local life, no matter how powerful the spy is, he can't find any problems.
Su Chen ordered a cup of tea at a tea shop not far away.
Watching grandma and little sister busy there.
Sometimes the merchants nearby would make a joke.
The smiles on their faces finally made Su Chen feel better.
At least not because of their own reasons, grandma and little sister have been living in melancholy for the past two years.
It's almost Shen time, and the downtown area is almost gone.
Grandma and my little sister started moving things, and there was still a little bit of cloth that was not sold out.
But business is already very good.
Before going home, grandma went to buy some barbecue, which looked like duck meat.
Aniang is also familiar with life in the capital. Finally, I am no longer as reluctant to spend money as I was in Jiang'an City before.
The lives of ordinary people are less spectacular, but they are also comfortable and leisurely.
Because of the method of cultivation in this world, the role of human power has improved a lot.
Ordinary people can also come into contact with many exercises to strengthen their body here.
It cannot reach the level of cultivation.
But after the normal physical strength increases, it becomes easier to do many things.
Just like farming, one person who has practiced cultivation can be worth the labor of three or four people.
Su Chen also had this obvious feeling after walking through a large circle in Zhou and Jin.
If there were no monsters, the people here could live a very prosperous life.
For example, more than a dozen farmers can handle land reclamation.
Farming here is not that difficult.
After the taxes in the capital were reduced, everyone's life would naturally become easier and more comfortable.
While the Zhou royal family was still in power, they could still survive.
But where can I feel as comfortable as now?
Su Chen just looked at his mother-in-law and his little sister, watching them go home.
It's still early in the morning, so it's not the right time.
He waited from Shen Shi to Xu Shi.
Su Chen then took off his disguise and sneaked into the small courtyard.
It's not too late at this time, but both grandma and little sister have already rested.
There are a lot of things to do on weekdays. The two of them have to make cloth, which takes a lot of energy.
In the yard, the weaving machine was still there, with unwoven cloth still on it.
Su Chen reached out and touched the fabric. This weaving technique was different from the one Aniang used before.
The technique in front of me is slightly inferior, and the price is not too expensive.
Grandma, she most likely did this on purpose.
In the past, cloth was woven in Jiang'an City, and the techniques used were unique to that area of Jiang'an City.
The woven cloth has a special name, called Jiang'an Silk Cloth.
Grandma and younger sister are also more alert. If they can weave river bank silk, they will obviously attract the attention of others.
After looking around the yard, Su Chen finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Slowly walked to the door and whispered: "Aniang, little sister"
In some quiet nights, the knocking sound will become particularly obvious when knocking on the door.
Neighbors nearby may hear some noises.
On the contrary, Su Chen's soft voice did not easily attract too much attention.
As soon as the voice fell, some noises were heard in the room.
In just a moment, grandma and little sister both ran to open the door in a panic.
They have not experienced any practice and their eyesight is not very good.
You can't see very clearly at night.
But they could see Su Chen's figure and be sure of it at a glance.
The little sister immediately fell into Su Chen's arms, feeling a little excited.
"Brother, why did it take you so long to come back? My mother and I were worried to death."
There was some complaint in the younger sister's words.
There has been no news from Yao for so long. No one has been seen and no letters have been written.
It would be strange if the family is not worried.
When I was in Yunyang Sect, letters would be sent home every month.
"I encountered some problems, so I thought it would be much safer for you to come back less often."
Su Chen touched the little girl's head, with a hint of apology in his words.
Aniang went to light a lamp nearby and called Su Chen to sit down in the room.
Looking at Su Chen now, Aniang couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Xiaochen, are you a little tired outside?"
Hearing this, Su Chen smiled and shook his head.
“It’s nothing tiring, it’s just that I spent some energy on the journey, nothing else.”
The three of them were sitting in the room.
Grandma and little sister asked, Su Chen answered from the side.
Most of the problems between the two of them were about what Su Chen had experienced during this period of time.
Su Chen picked something less sinister to say.
Moreover, the focus is on your own gains, and if you can omit the intermediate process, omit it as much as possible.
Relying on Su Chen's speaking skills, the two of them did not feel any more worried after listening to Su Chen's experience.
In any case, Su Chen finally stood in front of the two of them safely.
As long as everything is safe.
"During these times, have you encountered any trouble?"
After finishing his story, Su Chen turned the topic to his mother-in-law and his little sister.
The two of them were outsiders in the capital after all.
It seems fine now, but there will definitely be many problems along the way.
Hearing this, Aniang waved her hands, with a calm smile on her face.
"We all live in the capital city of Zhou Dynasty now, so what trouble can there be?
Xiaochen, you are not in Dazhou, so you don’t know the changes in Dazhou.
The capital has changed a lot in the past two years, and the price of our yard has been rising steadily.
The current small courtyard can be purchased for the same price as the previous two. ”
Su Chen watched his mother-in-law talking happily and also smiled.
For ordinary people, this increase in asset value is indeed a great joy.
"With such an increase, does Grandma want to sell the yard directly and find another place to live~"
"Xiaochen, you are really right, I just have this idea.
If we weren't afraid that you wouldn't know where to find us when you come back, your sister and I would definitely move to another place.
The price of this yard for me and your sister to live in is really a waste. ”
Hearing A Niang say this, Su Chen shook his head repeatedly.
"How can it be a waste for you and your little sister to live in a yard like this?
For me, it should be worthy of a better and bigger yard~”
Next to me, the little girl doesn't really care about this.
When she found an opening to speak, she first asked about Su Chen's strength.
"I was promoted to the fifth-grade middle realm a few days ago. Within two or three years, I should be able to step into the transformation realm."
In front of his family, Su Chen had no intention of hiding anything.
Just state it clearly what kind of strength it is.
Aniang and my younger sister don’t know much about martial arts, but they have heard a lot.
Warriors are the superiors in this world, and their most fundamental power comes from powerful force.
Discussions about those in power are definitely indispensable among common people's discussions.
"If you are in the middle realm of fifth grade, wouldn't that be even more powerful than the number one master in Jiang'an City!
Brother, your strength exceeds that of Jiang'an City Lord! ”
Regarding Su Chen's answer, when the younger sister heard it, she stood up in shock.
She was really scared.
"Keep your voice down, are you so surprised?"
Su Chen said with a smile, while pulling the little girl back to sit on the stool.
"Brother, now that you are as strong as you are, we should be able to restore our identities, right?
A fifth-grade expert can become a city lord.
Brother, have you dealt with all those enemies? ”
Hearing this, Su Chen could only shake his head helplessly.
"Not yet, the fifth-level strength is not enough to deal with those enemies.
The enemy I provoked was a strong person at the pinnacle of transformation.
I must at least step into the transformation realm and find a reliable force to rely on to roughly resolve the crisis.
Of course, the best result is to let her die. "(End of Chapter)
