Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang are not drunk people. It would be fine if they had a few drinks, but the grudges of the two who had been drinking for many years were also greatly diluted.

After the banquet, I looked at my pocket watch at 8 o'clock in the evening. Li Hongzhang suggested taking a walk to digest the food!

The house given to Zuo Zongtang by the imperial court was in the south city, not far from Dashilan. The two of them took their guards in casual clothes and walked through the alley to the most prosperous place.

I have to say that the capital has really changed a lot. Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang have not returned to Beijing for a long time. The night view of the capital really broke many of their old impressions.

The density of the wine shops is more than twice as high as when he left Beijing. The shops along the street are no longer enough, and many private houses deep in the alleys have been rented out and turned into places for various consumption.

Just walking through the alley to Dashilan, Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang encountered three women's entanglements!

People who lean on the door to sell laughter are as difficult as flies and have no shame. Maybe they both are wearing silk clothes, and they thought they came from where they came from.

Walking over and pulling your arm, you don’t let go. "My master, I want to drink or drink tea. Come to the yard, and the yard is bright..."

"It's okay to listen to the music. As long as you click it, I can sing it..."

"Haha... Do you listen to Shiba touch? If you don't want to listen, you can just touch it..."

Three half-closed Liu Ying grabbed the two of them and blushed at the arms of the two of them, "Go away! Let's go away!"

"What kind of morality is simply a moral depravity!"

"Oh... I'm saying this, you don't rest at home in the middle of the night. Isn't it just a fun thing to come out? It means you've just finished drinking and have enough food and drink. You're still coming to the sister's doorstep to have fun or something?"

"Stop pretending. We have seen so many noble officials in the capital. We like this one and just like to eat it secretly!"

"The eight Hutongs are sold openly, not exciting... It's better to come to our beautiful woman's house to steal food. It's exciting! Don't worry, you are all clearly marked. You only need three silver dollars to stay overnight. If you feel comfortable once, one silver dollar is enough!"

"Why are you still ashamed? Come in the yard!"

Zuo Zongtang sighed inwardly. Three silver dollars can buy a yellow-flowered daughter in the northwest. It can be enough for a family to eat for a year, but in the capital, it is just a night of laughter.

Under such a shock of money, what other face does this person need? As expected, everything has a price tag. It’s not that women are unwilling to be embarrassed, it depends on whether you have a drum purse!

"Shameless! I'll pull you and let you see the official! Get out of here..." Zuo Zongtang was finally angry.

But he never expected that the people in the capital were very knowledgeable and brave. When several Liu Yings turned against each other, they immediately became even more arrogant.

"Hey...hehe, you are here to play, not to be angry, and you still want to report to the official? I understand, we have also paid the cosmetic tax in this business!"

"It's half a silver dollar in one night! You can do it if you want to leave. Pay us a silver dollar, otherwise, don't think you'll be here immediately!"

The three women actually got entangled and insisted on not giving a silver dollar and not allowing them to leave. Zuo Zongtang did not expect that the capital's atmosphere would fall to this level, and he was so angry that he trembled all over and couldn't speak.

"You...you are simply shameless..."

"No, who can do this if you have shame? Don't talk nonsense. Either go into the house or give money. My aunt can't waste your saliva with you in vain? How much business is delayed?"

After three Liu Yings made such a fuss, someone leaned into the entrance of the alley, and all of this was in the midst of lightning and there was no time to react.

At first, the two guards thought that the old man suddenly moved his heart and wanted to find some excitement, so they did not keep up.

But at this time, something was wrong. He walked a few steps and opened his mouth and scolded him. However, Li Hongzhang looked back and waved his hand, not allowing them to make any sound.

"Take it... This is what I'm going to give you some tea. Today, we are in a bad mood, so I won't be happy with you. If you support me in the future, what do you think?"

He handed over a piece of silver dollar, and three and a half closed the door and laughed. He pinched the silver dollar and beat him with a handkerchief. "It's still this master who knows it's funny, unlike this master who is just a piece of wood...hahaha!"

Only then can this Xiangfen Alley be safe!

After leaving the alley, Qianmen Street is there, and the archway in Dashilan is not far away! Zuo Jigao has no time to enjoy the street view of the gas lamps.

"Hey... I'm so angry. Do you give me some money to such a slut? Why don't you hurry up and get the soldiers arrested? Are you also getting this problem?"

Li Hongzhang was so upset, "My old brother, what are you saying? I'm helping you!"

"You were so angry just now. Fortunately, you didn't make a noise. If these women dare to rely on the door to make a smile, they would be shameless. How could they get some money to make? "

"If you dare to make a noise, she immediately took off her clothes and cheated, saying that you didn't give money after playing, and you were dragged to you, what should you do?"

"As soon as you do it, everyone knows what you should do? People in the capital are very bad-mouthed, and they tell you if you have nothing to do."

"You can't just argue. Can you tell me carefully from every citizen in the huge capital? The more you explain, the more they feel it is true!"

"Give me a little money and act as a beggar. Don't let the soldiers follow too far in the future!"

When Zuo Zongtang heard this, he sighed, "When I led my troops out of the capital, I was not at this level? Why has morality now become a place that has become a place?"

"Isn't it just a mess for money? What do the people know? Can the white silver be pulled out after entering the eyes? In the past, people's silver was hidden and the people were actually invisible!"

"Whether it is corruption or collusion between officials and businessmen, it is secretly operated under the night sky. People can't see it and pretend it doesn't exist anymore, and there are not so many ideas!"

"Now, the Jingshi Exchange puts everything on the surface. The daily trading volume is one million taels, which means there is one million silver circulating in the market!"

"A person who makes money earns everything! If you make a thousand taels, he will make ten thousand taels, and it will soon spread all over the city!"

"It is easy to get money in the exchange, and people spend it more than they can. Look at the newly built restaurants and theaters? Look at how much the scale of the eight hutongs has expanded?"

"Look at how much more this half-blocked door has increased. These women used to be good-natured women! Why did you do this business? You still let money get it! "

"Before there was no exchange, it would be better to make half a penny of copper money by operating half a door overnight, and it would be a perfect one silver dollar!"

"But suddenly a lot of money was added on the market, people loosened their hands, and these willow bells also rose. How dare you ask for three dollars for such ordinary goods overnight?"

"I think those stunning things have increased countless times!"

"If you are not ashamed, it depends on how much money you give. Women with half-copper coins are all chaste women, but people have to consider three silver dollars!"

"Old brother, the capital today is no longer the capital of the past!" After patting the gas lamp pole beside him, Li Hongzhang sighed and said, "There was no such gas lamp before, and the dirty and smelly ones are hidden in the darkness, and it is not visible and there is no leakage!"

"Now with this gas lamp, all the filth in the dark is revealed, but this commoner... he just likes to learn bad things but not good things!"

"Think about it again. If one day the silver flying in the capital suddenly... is gone!"

"What a scene that would have been like a collapse in the sky!"
