Ma You Shan: " Sigh, that's true. Forget it, I won't learn it." Anyway, in my eyes, you're like my biological child. With a little immortal like you, you're already the pride of our family, ah, no, the entire Jiangshui Village.”
Zhou Chao said,"You're too good at praising people."”
The hidden meaning was to praise him more.
As she listened, Jiang Hua blinked.”
"Yes, I'm sorry for making you worry, Auntie."”
Jiang Hua: " Aiya, how interesting. Little Chao 'er is amazing."”
That warm hand touching his head always reminded Zhou Chao of his mother. He was especially shy, and his usual face was a little red.
Zhou Gantie: " Alright, look at the two of you. How can you praise me so much?"”
Ma You Shan: " That's where you're wrong. Gan Tie, I've been talking to you about this for a long time. When it comes to educating children, you have to praise and encourage them more.”
"There's a saying that goes,'A dutiful son grows under a stick.'"”
Seeing that the two of them were discussing as usual, Zhou Chao stood at the side and watched happily.
Who was Ma You Shan?
This relationship had to be discussed further.
Ma You Shan's father and Zhou Chao's grandfather had been sworn brothers since they were young. They had a very good relationship.
The two of them even got married together.
Not only that, Grandma Zhou and Ma Youshan's mother were real sisters.
The entire Jiangshui Village version of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu was already a good story, but there was still a follow-up.
Ma You Shan and Zhou Gan Tie were born on the same day. They were truly born on the same day, the same month, and the same year. Whether they could die on the same day, the same month, and the same year was unknown.
However, just by looking at the first half of the sentence, it had already established the foundation of their relationship.
Ma You Shan and Zhou Gantie had grown up together, and their relationship had lasted for decades.
Zhou Chao felt that Ma Youshan was actually much closer to him than his uncle who did not live in Jiangshui Village.
That was why Ma You Shan said that they were family.
The Zhou Dynasty felt that it was only natural.
This was his family.
After waiting for a while, when most of the people had arrived, the ox cart started moving. The adults chatted and laughed.
Zhou Chao, Xi Zhaoxian, and Qi Qiansui fell behind.
Everyone in the village knew that they were quite capable, so they were not worried that the three of them would be taken away by a wild wolf as they walked.
Zhou Chao replied," It's business, especially when we're just starting out. It's useless to just shout. We have to have concrete evidence!"
"You mean to say that we'll pull someone over to act?"”
Zhou Chao: " How can you say that it's acting? The effect is real. At most, it was just some business skills that were not worth mentioning.”
Xi Zhaoxian: " Since we're going to do it, then it has to be eye-catching enough. When the time comes, we'll look for it. It's best if we can catch a lazy man on the street."”
Qi Qiansui: " That's good. When the time comes, we might be able to get rid of them with just two sesame seed cakes. The appearance fee is very cheap."”
Zhou Chao: " The two of you are really smart. But are you sure there are beggars in the town?”
" This group of beggars will follow the seasons," Xi Zhaoxian said." They are rootless floating monsters and won't deliberately tie themselves to a certain place.”
Zhou Chao: " Translate, translate. There may be, but there may not be.”
Xi Zhaoxian gave Zhou Chao a look.
Qi Qiansui: " No, it's fine. I'll go and get her myself. Few people can refuse a little girl's request for help."”
Zhou Chao: " Wow, when you said that, you already had the style of a young maiden in Tianshan.”
"Heavenly Mountain's maiden?"
Zhou Chao: " I'm complimenting you. You have a maturity that's different from your age.”
"That's because he who keeps company with vermilion is red, and he who keeps company with ink is black."”
"Greetings," Xi Zhaoxian said.
" Besides, I'm the Minister of Internal Affairs," Qi Qiansui said." Rather than making money, what I need to do is to figure out how to save money."”
Zhou Chao: " Well said! Applause!”
"But there is one more thing.”
Zhou Chao and Qi Qiansui said in unison,"Peace of mind is the most important.”
Xi Zhaoxian nodded. He was a handsome boy, but he was becoming more and more like a worried old lady.
……
The town under Jiangshui Village's jurisdiction was called Old Cow Town. It was especially simple and honest.
It was definitely not big compared to the city, but it was still very prosperous.
The outer circle of the town was surrounded by a two-meter-high earthen wall. Because the town was located on a plain, it was necessary to take precautions to prevent wild beasts.
With the passage of time, there might still be bandits.
However, Old Cow Town's city walls were actually not very useful. They were mostly used as decorations to comfort one's heart.
To the villagers who had been rooted in the surrounding mountains for generations, Old Bull Town was the most prosperous place in their eyes.
He felt that there was everything here. It was not impossible to even pick the stars in the sky.
For young children, it was a blessing to be able to go to town.
However, in reality, there were only 10,000 permanent residents in Old Bull Town.
Compared to the imagination of the villagers, the real Old Cow Town was indeed not as prosperous.
Zhou Chao was already in his teens, but the last time he came to the town was when he was a few years old. He couldn't remember why he had come to the town that time.
The hazy memories in his mind told him that for the more backward and remote areas, the scenery would not change much even in the past ten years.
This time, he entered the town to earn money.
He wanted to test the waters first and seize the market.
The methods that the Zhou Dynasty had thought of in the past were definitely not as effective and convenient as the ones they could use now. After all, most people who did not have much intelligence could only earn hard-earned money.
It was barely enough to feed himself, but to start a family, it was better to shut up.
There were also some ideas that required start-up funds.
Zhou Chao definitely did not have any money. After all, he lived in the village. He did not know how to spend his money.
The ox cart from Jiangshui Village followed the mountain road down to the town entrance.
The temperature of the sun in the sky was moderate and warm.
The entrance to the city was divided into two gates. The one on this side was called the East Gate, but the East Gate did not completely point to the east. It was just a name.
The door was closed at night. During the day, anyone who wanted to enter the town would have to go through an inspection first.
In other words, he had to confirm his identity.
This policy had been implemented for a long time and had indeed effectively reduced the crime rate.
A town like this would not usually be cold, but every few days, there would be a big event like a festival.
There were many people going to town that day, and there was a queue at the entrance, so the procedures to enter were refined.
No matter how old or young they were, they had to pay a copper coin to enter or leave the place. It was the same when they came out. Each person who entered or left the place had to pay a total of two yuan.
This sum of money was included in taxes to support the daily expenses of the small government office in Old Cow Town. Of course, when it was reported every year, it could also be counted as political achievements.
There might not be any merit, but there was definitely no fault.
This was also a policy. From the bottom to the top, they would collect taxes and increase the national treasury.
This money was indeed not much, because one copper coin was equivalent to one yuan. Ten strings of coins were equivalent to ten thousand coins, which was equivalent to one silver coin. Ten silver coins were equivalent to one gold coin.
