Chapter 466: Outlander
"Huang Cancan's sprinkles, twist, it's not delicious, and you don't need money!"
"Pig lung soup, pig lung soup, steaming pig lung soup, drink a bowl of warm hearts and lungs!"
"Hey, the husband and wife lung tablets created by Dr. Zhang of the National Prison are spicy and fragrant, and the emperor and his mother all said yes!"
Before the Xinglong Tea House in the outer city, the shouts one after another were about to burst people's eardrums. The core plot here has long been occupied by the provincial government halls and large restaurants, most of the houses are used the most manpower, the most material resources, and then built in the shortest time, as for the late step can not recruit enough manpower, it is necessary to continue to use the bamboo house.
Several of the alleys that spread out were occupied by small vendors. Here, not to mention the carriages and horses, even walking takes a lot of effort, because there are diners hanging around, and compared to the relatively high prices in the restaurants that are closer to the Xinglong Tea House, the food in this neighborhood is cheap and the taste is acceptable. Especially outsiders, they have recently loved to come here to experience the style of the capital.
Of course, there are also people who can't pass because they can't pass on horseback, and because of the crowd of people, they are discouraged. At this time, a group of dusty horseback riders just stopped their horses and looked at the entrance of the alley. Seeing the smell of oil smoke everywhere, one of the young people said angrily: "This is simply a miasma of black smoke, which has ruined the image of the great capital!" ”
But as soon as he finished speaking, there was a vendor who was doing business over there and was not happy, he immediately put down the chopsticks that were frying the sprinklers in his hand, and pulled the nephew who was helping next to him to continue, and he strode forward without even wiping his hands, and opened his mouth and shouted: "Stranger, when you first come to the capital, keep your mouth clean, everyone does business with your ability, and I want you to point fingers!" ”
The young man didn't expect that he would be run by a mere peddler, and his face turned red. However, before he could fight back, the diners and other hawkers who were busy with their mouths of oil didn't care about the dispute here, but two men dressed in black stepped forward. The two of them looked at the group of people and made sure that they were indeed foreigners, and one of the strong men laughed.
"Qian Laosi, what are you fighting for, go back to business, others just say a few words, and you don't have a piece of meat missing, why are you so angry?" After retiring Zhao Laosi with a word, the strong man in black smiled at this group of outsiders, "There are all kinds of stalls, and the taste is indeed a bit big, but there are more than thirty or fifty vendors in a few nearby alleys." ”
The young man was still not convinced when he was scolded just now, but when he heard the word "feeding" at this time, his already red face suddenly turned even redder. When he found that no one of his companions came up to help him, he could only force himself to say: "Thirty or fifty people can feed and clothe their families, but they block the road. ”
The strong man in black did not say that the black miasma was like thunder like the hawker just now, he looked at the young man like a fool, and then said meaningfully: "So you are a foreigner, this place in the outer city is a wasteland, and now the people who are building buildings and restaurants nearby are rich people, I hope it is too late to make more miasma here, who still dislikes it?" ”
"As for the common people, they don't live here, come here to shop and eat something in their spare time, who cares about this smell?"
Speaking of this lazily, seeing that the young man was already speechless, but his eyes were still unconvinced, he smiled and said, "As for you saying that you are blocking traffic, then it is even less so." Which alleys around here are allowed to set up stalls to sell snacks and shout, which ones are absolutely not allowed, and only cars and pedestrians can be allowed to pass, there are rules, understand? ”
"Not only does the traffic need to be kept smooth at all times, but there are people in the vicinity who are responsible for managing it, especially when there is an emergency messenger passing by, there are people along the way to guide and command, that is, the garbage generated by the stall every day is also collected by the stall owner, and then transported to the designated wasteland, and someone is hired here to be responsible for clearing and transporting the landfill......
He gushed about educating this ignorant young man from various aspects such as traffic order, garbage disposal, city appearance, and public security inspection, and finally said earnestly: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, everyone else you think of has thought of it, and others you haven't thought of it have also thought of it!" ”
Seeing that the young man had been refuted so much that he was eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, and the embarrassment was beyond measure, among his companions, at this time, someone finally had to stand up and help him: "Your Excellency has said so much, then what are you doing?" ”
"Me?" The strong man in black immediately became triumphant. He puffed up his chest and said word by word, "I am Zhao Tieniu, the captain of the Nancheng Security Team!" ”
Seeing that this group of strangers was puzzled and suspicious of this strange title, he smiled, directly pulled the red scarf on his arm, and coughed dryly: "The Nancheng Terracotta Division wants to govern the entire Nancheng, and it is inevitable that it is a little too much to take care of, and the same is true of the Ya Daxing County of Wanping County, so we, the righteous people who have eradicated the first tyrant of Nancheng and Wang Si, have spontaneously organized!" ”
From the Iron Clothes Gang to the Security Team, when Zhao Tieniu called himself a righteous citizen at this time, it was a reasonable one: "We maintain law and order here, guide the traffic here, and are also responsible for managing garbage removal and transportation......
"Those who harm people with moldy and spoiled poisonous and harmful food will also be found out as soon as possible! Because we also check the ingredients! ”
The one who had just come forward to speak for the young man couldn't help but be stunned at this time. He glanced at this strong man, who obviously belonged to some kind of dynamic social group, with some disbelief, and suddenly asked, "Where do you get paid for doing these things?" ”
"Hehe, you must be thinking, are we sitting on the ground to collect money and exploit the vendors who do business here?" Zhao Tieniu was accustomed to these false Taoisms that occasionally haunted this place and questioned all kinds of doubts, and when he saw that the man was really silent, he said proudly, "Those big merchants such as guild halls also want to maintain stability and peace in this neighborhood, so they will allocate money and food to us every month." ”
"Recently, the preliminary round of the Imperial Chef Selection has been held three times, and the flow of people is particularly large. These small traders don't have to ask us for a single piece to do business in this neighborhood. Of course, they have to pay a certain amount of management fees to the owners who own the land, but that has nothing to do with us. It is only natural that they occupy people's places to do business, and they pay some rent, so you also have to take care of this kind of thing? ”
Hearing this, a middle-aged man led by these people finally coughed lightly, and when he saw that a few students who wanted to talk back to each other immediately shut up, he smiled mildly and said, "Your Excellency just said that we are all strangers. When outsiders arrive in the capital, they will inevitably feel curious about everything and ask more about everything. ”
"Now it seems that this place that seems to smell particularly big and the flow of people is particularly chaotic, but it is actually a good place to feed a bunch of people, and it is indeed good for people in the capital to have a place to relieve boredom and fatigue."
Hearing such a reasonable affirmation, Zhao Tieniu grinned: "This gentleman finally said a fair word. Not only these small traders, originally this area of the outer city, it was a deserted place, not to mention petty theft in the past, even more hateful things, now it is lively, we have maintained law and order, and the row of shops on the street here also has owners. ”
He snapped his fingers and said, "There are bookstores, there are cloth sellers, and there are garment shops...... Anyway, you have everything. ”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then smiled again: "I know that you must feel that the owner of this land is really making a lot of money, but the people have already let out the word and hired the students of Jiuzhangtang to audit the accounts, and all the proceeds are donated to the school, oh, it is directly donated to the former Lu Shangshu's public school." ”
Zhao Tieniu said and suddenly patted his head again, and then said with a smile: "Look at my memory, I am used to Lu Shangshu, and I have forgotten that people are now public school sacrificial wine, and it should be called Lu sacrificial wine." Anyway, after Lu Saijiu recruited the first batch of children to study for free, the whole capital didn't know how many people rushed to tell each other, crying with joy! Anyway, ordinary people don't take the imperial examination, and literacy is the most important. ”
Although many of the outsiders in this group have heard of these news about the public school, they are far less shocking than after learning about them from the words of the locals in the capital.
At this moment, everyone looked at each other in twos and threes, and their moods were extremely complicated. In the end, it was the middle-aged man who had just said the fair thing and smiled: "I see, thank you for telling me." ”
He calmly arched his hand, and then he was about to turn his horse away. Who knew that at this time, Zhao Tieniu actually rushed forward with an arrow. Seeing this scene, the others were taken aback, thinking that the other party was plotting against each other, but they didn't want Zhao Tieniu to laugh and said: "Stranger, you don't know which alleys are passable around here, right?" Good people do it to the end, send the Buddha to the west, and I will send you to Xuanwumen. ”
Without waiting for anyone to object, he grabbed the reins of the middle-aged man, and then gave an explanation to his companion and walked forward. He was originally an Angzang man, and his waist, which used to be clumsy because of his wandering in the market, is now straight, and he greets people who know him from time to time while walking. In this way, all the outsiders behind him have a deep understanding of the breadth of his face.
And Zhao Tieniu didn't babble endlessly, and then the most he did was to explain the buildings along the way, and when he sent the people to the Xuanwu Gate, he stuffed the reins to the middle-aged man on horseback again, and then clapped his hands.
"The people of Beijing have the way of life of the people of Beijing, and since you are new to the city, please pay a little attention in the future. I've changed my temper now, otherwise, according to my old temperament, I would never use my mouth to theorize with you, and I might not be able to help but reason with your fists! In this world, not only people who read books understand the truth, but everyone also understands a lot of truth! ”
"Eat well, wear warm clothes, and preferably be able to read, so as not to be deceived, this is the biggest truth!"
Seeing that Zhao Tieniu casually turned around and walked away after saying this, the middle-aged man glanced at his young student who blushed, then sighed deeply, and then said, "Remember this lesson, right?" Be cautious when you go out, and don't judge your character because you have read a book. ”
"As I told this benevolent brother, if it weren't for the fact that he was no longer grumpy now, someone might have been beaten! When you first arrive, you go to the yamen, isn't it a very glorious thing? ”
As soon as these words came out, the young man who was already so ashamed that he was invincible and self-conscious immediately dismounted and apologized, while the others also bowed their heads and said yes. After such an admonition, the middle-aged man turned his horse and walked ahead, and one of the students behind him immediately stepped forward to show the way, and when the guard inspected it, he only glanced at it, and immediately ran away with a cigarette, and in a short time called his captain.
The captain who came over in a hurry made a gesture to the middle-aged man, and then said with a smile: "It turned out to be the head of Zhaoming Academy, Yue Shan, who was disrespectful and disrespectful." The authorities have long instructed the major city gates to pay attention, and if you come, be sure to be polite. Your accommodation is arranged near Guozijian, and I will let someone take you there. It's just ......"
He glanced at the team of servants of this Yue Mountain Chief, who had more than a dozen people, and said with a look of embarrassment: "There can probably accommodate seven or eight of you here, and I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to handle any more." ”
A group of students who had just seen Yue Shanchang being respected and in a slightly better mood suddenly made a small commotion when they heard that there were too many people to accommodate. But finally there was a lesson from the past, and they were quiet in an instant. Sure enough, I saw Yue Shanchang smile and said: "This is natural, the people recruited by the imperial court are me, they just came to Beijing for a long time, and they just stayed at the guest house." ”
The captain immediately smiled and said, "Captain Yueshan, it's good that you are considerate." Alright, I'll lead the way, please come with me! ”
However, when someone brought the horses to the captain, and the people got on the horses and led the way, Yue Shanchang faintly heard a sneer coming from the wind.
"Now that's just a nice thing to say, the guest house...... Hehe, they dare to say that they haven't stopped at the post station along the way? You must know that when Dr. Zhang and Mrs. Ge passed through Tongzhou, the post station was occupied by the old Zhishi Jiangge, so they went to the guest house without saying a word! What is Coats...... Of course, take advantage of the imperial court, what is it called! ”
Yue Shanchang, who is still not young, heard it, how could his young students not hear it? Although some people immediately looked behind in anger, they swept around but did not see where the person who spoke, and Yue Shanchang himself never squinted, and it was not until he left the area of the city gate that he secretly sighed.
No matter how famous he is in the local area, no matter how many promising students he has taught, and even if he is full of peach and plum all over the world, he is just a local celebrity, but it is different when he arrives in the capital. Knowing this, he shouldn't have given him the extra words when he opened the way because of the courtesy of the magistrate, and he took a group of students to the post station without thinking on the way.
Along Xuanwumen Avenue all the way to the north, then turn east near Taiping, and then along the Huangcheng North Street all the way east, everyone had a close look at the imperial city, but more eyes were on the soldiers of the Rui Cavalry Battalion who were like nails with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. When the group passed by Bei'anmen, they saw more than a dozen horsemen riding out of it.
Immediately after, they heard a crisp voice: "Today's second interview of Jiuzhangtang, third brother, we can't lose to others, we must be admitted!" ”
