The clean and wide streets, the soldiers who patrol back and forth, the ground is cleaned, and even the entrance of the market is also cleaned and a sentry post is set up, which is the shantytown where the people live in the south of Taiyuan New Town.

It is said to be a shantytown, but in fact, it is a place where refugees around Taiyuan City settled after the renovation of several abandoned villages around it.

The shantytown is only three miles away from the newly built city wall, which is very convenient. Along both sides of the shantytown, there are countless shops and restaurants, most of which are old houses renovated, and there are also some newly built wooden houses, all of which are thriving businesses and are flocked to the public.

In the middle and on both sides of the shantytown, more than a dozen thatched huts made of cement were built, which could accommodate two or three hundred people at the same time. There are big words "male" and "female" written on the wall of the thatched house, and there is a table at each door, with men and women sitting in the back, the men's thatched hut is guarded by men, and the "female" thatched hut is guarded by women, who are responsible for distributing toilet paper, and it is free of charge.

When the people go to the thatched house, there is a work of cleaning the toilet from time to time, and men and women go in to wash with water and clean up. Like the people who distribute toilet paper at the door of the toilet, the people who clean the toilet are all filled by the family members of the officers or non-commissioned officers in the Loyal Army, which is also considered a profession for everyone.

There are too many people living outside the city, and hundreds of people are still on their way back to Taiyuan. The street vendor Jia came to hear the news, and in January, the shantytown has formed a huge bazaar. The bazaar is not far from the city wall, if there are no thatched houses, there are yellow and white things all around, so that people can't dig their feet down, seriously affect the city's appearance, and it is easy to cause the spread of plague and disease.

Since the construction of these dozen thatched houses, the sanitary situation outside the city has improved at once. It also made the bazaar cleaner and more lively, the sergeants patrolled and orderly, and the prosperity of the bazaar was inevitable.

There have also been some people who do not go to the toilet in the public thatched huts, and those who are found have been severely punished, losing a lot of money in vain, not to mention, they will also be on the list of criticism, and will be condemned by the people.

The bazaar is divided into two sides by a north-south avenue, and on both sides of the bazaar, extending east-west, is a large shantytown inhabited by refugees, inhabited by tens of thousands of poor people.

Since the people in Taiyuan had already been slaughtered by the Jin people and their houses were reduced to ashes, these refugees living behind the market had to buy rice, grain, oil and salt, food, clothing and other necessities through the markets on both sides of the official road.

Due to the large number of people, restaurants and shops have been established in a short period of time, and even the tiles of Qinglou are hidden from time to time, and these things are inevitable in this era of war.

Liu Xingping lived at the back of the shantytown, unkempt, thin and weak, at first, he was still a little frightened, for fear that Fanzi would go south and take his life.

He has seen the ferocity of Fanzi with his own eyes, and his fear of them has been engraved into his bones.

His parents died at the hands of Fanzi, and he returned to Taiyuan Mansion as a teenager, and he was cautious, naturally for the incense of the Liu family.

When other children are coquettish and happy under their parents' knees, he has experienced the destruction of his family, joys and sorrows, and has seen the sinister nature of human nature, so he is silent in order to best protect himself. Sheltered in a shanty town outside the city. At least here, he can support himself, and when the new city is repaired, he will have a home.

When he used to go to the market, although the market was fairly stable, petty theft and robbery still happened frequently, and the sanitary situation here was also a mess, which made him very uncomfortable.

After all, he is still from a large family.

In the beginning, every time he bought something, he left in a hurry, and rarely stayed here for a long time. The ruffians and hooligans in the bazaar made him even more frightened, for fear that he would be bullied and might be poisoned.

After a few days, it was very different. The Loyal Sergeant took over the place, and everything was very different from before.

The street is swept clean, and the cement thatched house also solves everyone's internal urgency; The ruffians and hooligans in the bazaar caught and killed, and no one dared to come out and do evil; There is no trace of the lack of catties and shoddy things, and anyone who is found will be driven out and not allowed to come back.

The soldiers of the Loyal Army are all young and strong, and they seem to be full of strength, but they never bully anyone. If there was any dispute on the street, these soldiers were much gentler and punished very fairly, and everyone trusted these soldiers.

The market is stable and orderly, the place is clean and tidy, and there are no excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the trade is even more prosperous. Those who have a little money like to go to the restaurant to eat and drink tea after shopping, and a bowl of soup and cakes is cheap and delicious, and their hearts are much warmer.

There are also some places where there is a storyteller, telling the story of the prince who attacked Luoyang City at night and fought outside the Xuanhua Gate. The person who said it salivated and the listener was even more fascinated.

After shopping, after the restaurant, everyone bought some favorite snacks and snacks and went back, and shared them with the family, and slowly this market became an extremely prosperous place, with everything you need, and it is very convenient to go whenever you go.

There is a soup cake shop in the bazaar, and Liu Xingping likes it very much. Every time he went, the shopkeeper didn't think he was sloppy. Eating a bowl of hot Hedong soup cakes has a bit of the taste of his mother's hand-made, which makes him sad every time.

This "Zhang's rice shop" in the bazaar is a century-old store in Taiyuan City. Although the "Zhang's rice shop" has become a ruin, the loyal army restored Taiyuan Mansion, the Zhang family shopkeeper came back, resumed the old business, and opened a rice shop outside the city.

"Zhang's rice shop" not only has rice, but also oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, the price is quite fair, as a native of Taiyuan, Liu Xingping went to this store to buy things, and he can be regarded as a regular customer here.

One day, Liu Xingping bought rice and grain, came out of the "Zhangjia Rice Shop", just as he was carrying the rice bag with difficulty, holding oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and walking forward, he met Wang Xianggong and his party who were inspecting the market.

Wang Xianggong is tall and has a very energetic appearance, especially the two rows of teeth, which are white and neat. He smiled at Liu Xingping, who was shopping, and Liu Xingping felt very warm in his heart.

Wang Xianggong saw that he was thin and weak, and he carried so much food and things, so he asked his subordinates to use their own horses to help Liu Xingping carry him back.

Coming and going, several times, Liu Xingping could meet Wang Xianggong, either in the market or on the construction site of the city wall. Sometimes, the prince would ask him to go to Deng Wuna, who was repairing the city wall, to sit for a while. He didn't expect that Deng Wu, who was like a farmer on the day he came back, turned out to be the head of the city.

Wang Xianggong would prepare tea for him to drink, put some melons and fruits, and sometimes leave him to eat, Liu Xingping felt from the bottom of his heart that this Wang Xianggong was really a good person.

On this day, Liu Xingping finished work and refused to leave. When the soldiers urged him, it happened that Wang Xianggong came out with a group of people to inspect the progress of the construction of the city wall.

Seeing Wang Xianggong coming, Liu Xingping hurriedly waved his hand to say hello, Wang Xianggong waved his hand, and the soldiers let him go.

Wang Song looked at the hazy sky, it would rain at any time, and said to the people around him: "Ma Xuanzan, the prince, Master Zhang, and Li Zhifu have already left Beijing, Deng Shixiong will take someone to pick it up, and we must make sure that nothing goes wrong."

Zhao Chen, Zhang Shuye and their entourage finally left the palace. The brothers of the Zhongyi Society got the news, and in addition to Li Ruoshui, the new prefect of Taiyuan, they were accompanied by ordinary ministers such as Qin Hui in the imperial history and Zhang Jun, the new military general in the court.

Those who come are not good, those who are good do not come, I didn't expect that the great cause of anti-gold has just made a little achievement, and these ghosts and spirits in the court can't sit still.

The mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings, and it is really the autumn of troubled times.

Ma Kuo went as promised, and Wang Song said to Deng Wuyan: "Deng Wu, to speed up, we must build the city wall before the freeze." Now that the weather is getting colder, we will have to wait until next year, when the spring flowers will bloom, and then it will be too late. ”

The crowd dispersed, and Wang Song patted Liu Xingping on the shoulder.

"Brother Liu, let's go, let's go to Deng Wu to cheat tea and drink, and by the way, see if there is anything delicious."

Seeing this black, thin, beggar-like boy shivering in the cold wind, Wang Song felt sad for a while.

He immediately took off his cloak, put it on Liu Xingping, and strode forward.

Liu Xingping's heart was warm, his dark face twitched a few times, and he hurriedly followed.

When he was a teenager, his father died in Jinren, and he was pampered and pampered, and he came out to work every day to make a living. Ragged clothes, hungry and cold, but he doesn't steal or rob, he eats with his own strength, Wang Song likes such a self-improvement young man in his heart.

Think of so many Han people, strong in martial arts, strong and powerful, but like dogs, following behind Fanzi's ass, burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil, and doing all kinds of bad things! The comparison between the two is really a world of difference.

The two entered Deng Wu's workshop, which was full of all kinds of tools, and the craftsmen and soldiers who came and went were endless, noisy and shouting, and Wang Song was not angry at all.

The two entered the inner room and beckoned Liu Xingping to sit down, Deng Wu hurriedly brought the fried hot tea, poured it for Wang Song and Liu Xingping, and said loudly: "Xianggong, please."

Wang Song was just about to drink tea, but Liu Xingping said in a hoarse voice: "This is drinking tea, it's just drinking white water."

He stepped forward and poured the two cups of tea together into the bowl on the table, put the tea powder into the tea cup himself, poured in the slightly reduced boiling hot water, and then skillfully hit the tea soup with the tea whisk a few times, and then put down the tea whisk.

Soon, a layer of white tea foam appeared on the surface of the tea soup, which contrasted with the tea bowl and tea soup, showing a wonderful landscape pattern, like an ink painting, which made Wang Song and Deng Wu next to him stunned.

"Tea flourished in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty", up to the scholars, to the literati and elegant guests, down to the ordinary people, from the palace tea ceremony to the folk tea fight, tea distribution, it can be said that it is a kind of leisure and entertainment that the whole people will meet.

Even Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Daojun Emperor Song Huizong, also published the book "Daguan Tea Treatise", saying that "the people of the world are inspirational and innocent, and they actually play for leisure and repair."

Lu You, a master of the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote in his "Lin'an Spring Rain and Early Ji": "The dwarf paper is oblique and idle, and the fine milk plays tea in the sunny window. The "tea" in the poem refers to this kind of tea cooking technique.

However, Lu You is not the king of a country after all, Zhao Ji, as the Son of Heaven, seems to have chosen the wrong major to engage in these literary books.

Liu Xingping put the tea in front of Wang Song and said in a low voice: "Xianggong, you taste it and see how it tastes?"

Wang Song took a sip and nodded: "The color and flavor are complete, just your tea-making technique is already amazing." I can't imagine that you are a young man and have this craft, it seems that you used to be a wealthy family. ”

From this young man's method of distributing tea, it can be seen that this young man's original family background is good, and it must also be the home of a wealthy businessman in Taiyuan City.

Poor people, coarse tea may not be able to afford to drink, where do you know this.

This young man is smart enough, but he doesn't know how he likes such a "good thing" when the country is ruined and the people's livelihood is withering.
