The bottom of the pressure box is actually an ancient sex education tool, and it also has many forms. Liu Xin is holding a bronze mirror in his hand. The back of the bronze mirror is engraved with several different postures of men and women. In fact, the bottom of the box not only has the role of sexual enlightenment education, but also has another meaning of Qi Zi and avoiding evil.
Cai Yan was already shy and shy. With his head buried low, he didn't dare to raise it at all. He whispered: "I told you not to watch it. You have to watch it. It's shameful."
Liu Xin returned the bronze mirror to her, attached it to her ear and whispered: "Well, I won't look at it. Tonight, we will try the trick on it."
Where did Cai Yan dare to answer his words, and buried his head lower, until Liu Xin turned around to look at the calligraphy again, and then raised his head. A faint smile appeared at the corners of Cai Yan's mouth, her hands pressed tightly to her chest, and she secretly said in her heart that it was really dangerous just now. If he was asked to turn over and see that sweat towel, he would really have to sew it in. . Cai Yan was complacent with her just now anxious student Zhi, if she could play chess, she would definitely feel that her move was called losing the car and protecting the handsome. Thinking of this, Cai Yan secretly made up his mind, no, she must go find a lock later, and lock the box in order to be completely relieved. How did she know that if Liu Xin wanted to see it all, there really wasn't any lock in the world that could hardly hold him.
Throughout the second year of Zhongping, the Han Dynasty was fairly peaceful except for the occasional pastoral nomads such as Xianbei and Xiongnu in the north that harassed the border. It is rare for the people who have suffered from the Yellow Turban turmoil to recuperate, and the precarious court also got a respite. And Liu Xin understood that this was just a brief calm before the storm, and he did not dare to relax in the slightest.
After the winter, another group of recruits were recruited into the army. They were gathered in the training center for a three-month intensive training, and then they were assigned to the major corps. And some of the original soldiers in the major legions will also be eliminated.
The current military pay is already quite high. Apart from the harder training, the life is quite good. Although there is still no guarantee that the meals will have meat, the food standard is still higher than when they were in their own homes. The most obvious change is that these soldiers are much stronger than when they first arrived at the barracks. Not only that, every time the military rank increases by one level, the military pay will also increase accordingly. In order to avoid being eliminated from the game, the training of the soldiers on the school field is particularly devoted.
Liu Xin can now be said to be not bad at all. After nearly two years of unremitting efforts, Xiangyang City was really built by him as the center of the South of the Han Dynasty. Whether agriculture, commerce or handicraft, it is one of the most developed cities in the south. . This year, not only did the industrial and commercial tax revenue of the five counties of Jingxiang and Xiangxiang not decline due to the tax reduction policy, on the contrary, there was a relatively large increase, which has already accounted for one-tenth of the agricultural tax revenue. Don't underestimate this one-tenth. This is already a very great progress. You must know that in the past, the industrial and commercial taxation of each county was almost a dispensable position in the entire taxation system. What's more, he also controlled about 70% of the land in these five counties, and all the renters belonged to the government.
Liu Xin, who is not bad for money, is more generous. Not only has he increased his investment in research institutes and military equipment, but he also paid the annual tax to Luoyang early, because he knew very well that he had to deal with such a love for money. The emperor who lives as fate, the best way is money except money.
Towards the end of the year, the market in Xiangyang appears to be more prosperous. Today, Xiangyang has become a distribution center for the exchange of goods between the north and the south. Although it is not as good as Luoyang in terms of local purchasing power alone, merchants from the north and the south like to use Xiangyang as a transit point, not only because of the low tax rate here, It is also because of the unusually stable environment here.
There is no place for bandits in the five counties of Jingxiang under Liu Xin's control. There is no need to worry about the safety of doing business here. Moreover, the government here always adheres to the principle of fairness and justice when dealing with business disputes. What makes businessmen even more convenient is that unlike other places, Xiangyang City does not close its gates day and night. In addition to Luoyang, no other city dared to do this. No matter how late the caravans are, as long as they can get to Xiangyang, they don't have to worry about sleeping in the wilderness.
The State Shepherd's House has also added more imports one after another, which is very lively. There are three women in one drama, and there are more women, so naturally they also like to talk about topics that interest them. Going out to go shopping seems to be an innate nature of women, especially at the end of the new year. I don’t remember who suggested it first. Anyway, Ma Yun, Bian Yu, and Cai Yan couldn’t sit down in the room anymore, so I thought of going down the street together in the afternoon to see how their husband managed Xiangyang City. How is the government and the people harmonious.
Hearing that they were on the street, Liu Rui, who was playing in the yard, ran over, crying and arguing, and wanted to go with the second wife. Since Liu Xin said that, Zhu Qian has not managed her to death like before, so the lively nature of this little girl has been further released, although she is one year older, she is more like a child.
Liu Yu, who was just over two weeks old, has grown into a tiger-headed tiger-headed brain. He is now Liu Rui’s little follower. Seeing that this sister is going to the street, he also took Ma Yun’s hand and kept shaking. My dear, I want to go to the streets too."
On the issue of treating children, Ma Yun and Liu Xin share the same views, and neither want to lock their children at home, which restricts their nature. Although Liu Rui is not Liu Xin's biological child, she is also very lovable, and Ma Yun naturally has no reason not to agree.
So, after lunch, the group of people came to the streets of Xiangyang mightily.
Thanks to Liu Xin's vigorous development, Xiangyang City has unique conditions. The goods here are complete and the prices are fair. Not only locals, but also many neighboring counties and counties also regard Xiangyang as their first choice for purchasing New Year goods. Xiangyang in the twelfth lunar lunar month is particularly lively, with crowds on both sides of the avenue coming and going, horse carts, ox carts, and unicycles in the middle of the avenue. Not to mention the two children Liu Yu and Liu Rui. Even Ma Yun, Bian Yu, and Cai Yan, who don’t often go to the streets, feel that they are full of freshness and dizzying.
Under Liu Xin’s plan, the shops in the several streets of Xiangyang City have their own characteristics. And other female products. Ma Yun and his party were all women and children, except for a few flying tiger guards who acted as guards from a distance. Naturally, they were more interested in silk and rouge jewelry, so they spent time in these streets. It's also extraordinarily long.
After shopping for a whole afternoon, a few women didn’t feel tired at all. Sisters Qiao'er, Ying'er and Ling'er brought a few little maids to follow. They were already full of hands. It seems that they have gained today. It's really not small.
Liu Xin knew that they were going shopping, Liu Yu and Liu Rui also followed, worrying that the children didn’t have a qualitative character. If they didn’t like the places Ma Yun and the others were shopping, they would be noisy and made two sugar people. They are all in the shape of Monkey King, one for each of them, hold them in your hand, you can see and eat.
In fact, this can't be regarded as a sugar man in the true sense. It should be more appropriate to call it a face man, and it is the kind that is carved out with a knife. Liu Xin practiced flying knives, not only must he have strength in his hands, but he must also have skill. In order to develop this skillful energy, Liu Xin had to suffer from a lot of hardships. There are many methods, one of which is to use a knife to carve out various images of people and animals from the mixed dough. Don't underestimate this ability. This is not a dough maker. Although the dough is relatively soft, it is much harder to carve patterns on it with a knife than it is to carve patterns on radishes. Probably because of a long-term lack of practice, Liu Xin obviously felt a little hand-skilled, and he was busy working for noon before he came up with two faceless men who looked a little bit like. In order to make the two children happy, he boiled the maltose and turned it into sugar and poured it on it.
The power of the sugar man is really huge. When the two children saw something they liked, they squeezed into the pile of adults and chattered about buying it. If Ma Yun and the others are not interested in the places where they are visiting, they will quietly play with their sugar people. They are really a little greedy, and they will take a bite secretly. Along the way, no one felt that it was a burden for these two children to follow behind.
The streets where Ma Yun and the others go shopping are also some of the places that women go to most often. Although it is winter and women wear thicker clothes, perverts come and go regardless of seasons. Every day here, many dudes and disciples are attracted to wander the streets, often when the women are unprepared. , Secretly stretched out their salted pork knuckles, ate tofu and wiped the oil.
Ma Yun and Bian Yu are stunning in the world. Although they had only given birth to their children six months ago, their figures did not appear to be out of shape at all, but they looked more feminine. Cai Yan was also pregnant for more than a month, but she was wearing thick clothes that no one could see at all. She was a young woman and she was born sweetly, with a unique style. Even the maids of Qiao'er and Ying'er are all very beautiful.
When such a group of beautiful and enchanting young women and girls suddenly appeared on the street, the eyes of these people lit up, and some of them couldn't hold back, and couldn't wait to lean towards them. But soon, they dispelled the bad thoughts and avoided them one after another.
Although Ma Yun and the others don't show up often, the people in Xiangyang City don't know that these are the women of Master Zhou Mu. What's more, there are a few burly men who look like wolves and tigers, but with a cold expression, who always follow them not far and near. Although these people are dressed in casual clothes, a discerning person knows that they are their bodyguards. Those who have thoughts like this, no one thinks that their lifespan is too long, and if they find that the situation is wrong, they have long since hid away, and only dared to glance at it secretly and swallow secretly.
Liu Yu is still too young, not very sensible, only knows to play with Liu Rui. And Liu Rui is already eight years old, it is a rare opportunity to be able to get out of her mother's sight, jumping and jumping on the street, the more he plays, the more crazy he hits a wall without paying attention.
