Leaving Tianjin, he headed for Beiping along the river.

Yan Changwu went to Beiping, there was no major business, he was the king and hegemon in Taiwan, but he didn't know anyone in the capital, because he came secretly, he couldn't take the worship post to ask for it, so he didn't see one of the high-ranking officials and bigwigs in the capital.

If you really want to see him, the bigwigs will definitely see him...... For his money's sake.

Uncle Zhang, an old servant of his family, after he got an official position, soaked in the city of Beiping to make a point for him, this old servant was as smooth as oil, and used means to open the way with money, and the gifts were delivered to his home.

The bigwigs and prominent officials in the cabinet, the ministry, and the military department all ate bribes from the Southeast Mansion and spoke for him.

For example, in the case of Taiwan's Jianwei, it is customary to appoint officials from the mainland to serve in Taiwan's Wei, but the imperial court has not moved for a long time, because Zhang Bo preached that Taiwan is a place inhabited by savages, the people are strong, and they do not obey discipline, and the reason why the Wei commander can make people obedient mainly carries a leather whip and a machete, and if he does not obey, he will be beaten, and if he dares to resist, he will be killed, so that he can calm down the place.

The harsh environment, the deep miasma, and the raging typhoon made it a hell on earth.

If this is the case, will Fujian officials expose him?

Not at all!

Otherwise, Taiwan's great rule will not be useless for Fujian officials!

The officials of Fujian officialdom know what is going on with Taiwan Wei, and they will definitely not be able to interfere if they go there, and if they don't get into trouble between Taiwan Wei and the mainland, then Yan Changwu will take them to sacrifice the flag, so they don't want to go to Taiwan Wei. (unless you want to be a thief)

And the news of Taiwan in the imperial court officials' department, how can officials everywhere be interested in going?

In addition, the big guy didn't speak, but Taiwan Wei was actually at ease, and no one bothered him after the establishment of the guard.

No matter how wise and martial Emperor Chongzhen is, he can't stand the courtiers below from colluding with him, and he has a lot of worries, so he doesn't think about Taiwan.

……

At that time, Beiping City was the first good place, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Yan Changwu went to Beiping purely to go sightseeing.

He was formerly a map editor, and he liked to travel and sightseeing, and then wrote some donkey travel diaries to cheat the manuscript fee, and he was very happy-_-

As a result, when he went there, it was raining, and he was speechless.

Don't look at the name of an imperial capital in Beiping, it became a big quagmire and a big dung pit after the rain!

Beiping, until the fall of the imperial era, did not have many masonry roads, almost all of them were dirt roads. When dry, the wind blows the soil, and the city loess; When it rains and snows, it is muddy and filthy.

One of the advantages of Jinling Nanjing is that a large number of roads inside have been converted into brick and stone pavement.

That's also, there is a lot of rain in the south, and if it is a muddy road, you can't travel for 300 out of 365 days a year, and everyone doesn't have to live.

Beiping City, that's it.

One of the first seven sons of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Tingxiang, who had been a secretary of the military department, said: "After the rain yesterday, I went out on the street, and a public opinion stepped on a new track, from the ash factory to Chang'an Street, all chose the place, and was afraid of polluting its shoes, and turned into the capital, gradually more muddy, occasionally wet, and did not care about it." ”

This passage is to say, when you go out after the rain, the road conditions are good when you walk from the ash factory in the south of the city to Chang'an Avenue, and you can choose a clean road to avoid the mud, but as soon as you enter the capital, it is full of mud, and you can't avoid it.

In addition to mud, there is also the dumping of garbage. There was once a book: "The things that people sweep away are all poured out of the door, the ashes of the stove, the broken porcelain tiles, piled up like a mountain, the streets are higher than the houses, and the people go down the steps, like falling into the valley." ”

Yes, the garbage at home was swept out and piled up on the road, resulting in the city road being higher than the houses on both sides, almost 3 meters per zhang, equivalent to a floor.

It's like the Yellow River dam has been raised and become an above-ground river.

If it's ashes, broken porcelain pieces or something, it's okay, anyway, it's buried when mixed with loess. The real problem...... It's feces.

Chen Longzheng, who was a scholar in the late Ming Dynasty, scolded the northerners like this: "The northern land is full of filthy dung, especially the Beijing teacher, who is naked during the day, does not avoid officials, and the body is blasphemous, and the villains are accustomed to each other and secretly dispel their respect." This passage is like this in a popular way: "In this ghost place in the north, there is feces and urine everywhere on the road, especially in the capital of Beijing, as soon as we take off our pants in broad daylight, we are still on the streets, and even our officials are still as unscrupulous and unashamed in front of us, and we still learn one by one, and we have no shame!" ”

In addition, the cityscape of that period was wonderful, and a large number of poor people built shacks outside the imperial city, and the commercial activities were very lively but quite messy.

……

Catching up with the situation seen in the good season, Yan Changwu is okay, he has seen too many similar places, such as the slums of Asan Mumbai (the second in the world and the first in Asia), the slums of São Paulo, Brazil, and the refugee camps of the Tuji country, which is really hell on earth, compared to those places, Beiping is good.

And Chen Hebin, Zhang Shouyun, and Yan Tian, who came with him, were simply stunned when they saw the "victory" in Beiping City, and Yan Changwu seemed to hear many broken sounds of glass hearts.

They were going to the Fujian Hall where they were going to vote, but it was muddy in the past, and the carriage couldn't get in, so they had to get out of the car, stepping on a foot of mud, a foot deep and a shallow foot, and almost didn't nail their boots into the mud. ”

He heard that Yan Changwu was going to Beiping, and he also came to join in the fun, but he didn't expect to see such a ghost place!

Yan Changwu said dryly: "Yes, this is the imperial capital!" ”

Everyone can't help but think of Taiwan, after years of construction, the cityscape is considerable, all hard bottomed, smooth and beautiful roads, clean and tidy, well-organized, even if the heavy rain comes, it can be discharged immediately, and the streets are not flooded.

Just kidding, Yan Changwu allocated a lot of manpower and material resources for nothing.

The conscience of the city is the sewer, Yan Changwu listened to the Germans in the sewers in Qingdao to hear calluses, once he has the opportunity to do municipal construction, why not put in a lot of effort to do a century-old plan!

In this regard, the imperial capital is not as far away as my Taiwan Weiyuan!

They looked at Yan Dashao who was walking in front of them, and their admiration was spontaneous!

Previously, everyone generally had an inferiority complex, after all, everyone went to Taiwan after fleeing the famine, followed by a young leader, to put it bluntly, some people eat more salt than he eats rice, think about how much ability he can have?

Many people wait and see, or it is an expedient measure, thinking that when the famine in their hometown is over, they will return to their hometown to live.

However, when everyone has more contact with the mainland, they have a clearer understanding of Taiwan.

No comparison doesn't hurt, our place is no worse than other places!

Taiwan is our hometown!
