Take a closer look, this version is generally the news from all over the Celestial Empire, of course, it is mainly in the south, first of all, they expressed their concern about Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, this kid licked the scars of the past, and gradually became a strong soldier and a strong horse, and after he became stronger, he had already started various frictions in the southwestern provinces.

In the article, he expressed concern about the possibility of Zhang Xianzhong going down the Yangtze River to directly attack Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangnan provinces, criticized the situation of waste firewood in the armed forces of the Jiangnan provinces, and even calculated the situation of the garrisons in various places, the various background information of the military chiefs, how to lead the troops on weekdays, and even the degree of corruption, and even did not get rid of Zhang Dai's impression!

Zhang Dai was shocked, suddenly looked at the date, and said: "This incident happened the day before yesterday, An Neng crossed thousands of miles to reach the imperial capital?" I guess it's made up. ”

Zhou Bin said lightly: "In the past year, there are really no mistakes or omissions in this newspaper, it is more detailed than the imperial court's newspaper, I occasionally talk to businessmen from Jiangnan, and they all say that when so-and-so news happens, but it will be seen in the newspaper in two or three days, there must be an unpredictable mystery behind it, have you heard that there is a spaceship that can fly in the sky." ”

Zhang Dai said eagerly: "Although I haven't seen it, many people have said that the painting is colorful, and some of the paintings are so vivid that I can't recognize it." ”

Zhou Bin said: "With that thing here, I think it's still very simple to deliver news from all over Jiangnan, at least in the past year, I can hardly see the spaceship, I think it's flying everywhere." ”

Zhang Dai's face was not good, and he said, "But ......"

Zhang Dai was shocked to realize Zhou Bin's statement at this time, why do people say that they are full of confidence in taking Jiangnan, and they don't know how many spies are active in various places on weekdays, and they don't know how they did it when they die, thinking of the tragic situation of several princes who were too frightened to go to Nanjing to ascend the throne after being repeatedly threatened.

Zhang Dai said angrily: "How can they be so ......?"

Zhou Bin said: "Now that the people are doing this, the people can live in peace, the old will end, the strong will be useful, the young will grow, the widows, the lonely and the sick, all have support, and the rule of the three generations does not know how, but looking at the businessman with oracle bones, it is not how it is." ”

This naturally refers to the oracle bone legend that has recently become popular in the circle of Ming scholars.

Zhang Dai said: "How can the rule of three generations be compared, it was ...... at that time"

"At that time, there was no iron pot and no flour, and I was afraid that I wouldn't even be able to eat salt when I got back."

Zhou Bin said: "This is the reality. ”

Zhang Dai said: "People are spiritual, how can they judge the good or bad of the dynasty only by food and clothing? ”

Zhou Bin sighed and said: "However, in this dynasty, it is professionally judged, so that's the only way." ”

Zhang Dai shuddered and said, "Didn't the heavens and the earth change color that day, and there was no humanity?" ”

Zhang Dai imagined that the world would be rich and unkind, disrespecting scholars, and the smell of Zhumen's wine and meat was no longer enough to describe the evil of this country, Zhumen's wine and meat smelling was just a waste, Zhang Dai felt that he often gave to the poor, and he was a rare good person.

But here, no one is allowed to beg, so where is the poor? Zhang Dai thought about it as soon as he thought about it, and then remembered the scene of his own servants waving sticks to expel and beat those beggars when he occasionally passed through the county seat, and felt that I Daming did a good job, at least those beggars could beg freely.

What Zhang Dai couldn't accept the most was not only the burned dead chicken, but also that attitude.

"By the way, if you go out these days, but be careful, don't throw confetti and spit, it seems to be said above, prepare to catch a few typical, seriously investigate, recently more and more people from all over the country have come to the imperial capital, some are mixed into a blind stream, temporarily unmanageable, is to catch a few."

"How can they be like this, isn't this even more tyrannical than King Zhou Li, the king of Zhou just kills people who tell the truth, and they don't even let go of a little mistake!"

Although Zhang Dai is not young, he has been pampered all his life, and he has nothing to spit on, so he has nothing to say about this matter.

"The problem of infectious diseases, this is the same as burning those dead chickens, the elders pay the most attention to hygiene."

"Those dead chickens, distributed to the people, divided and eaten, are mostly good things, but what a thing."

In Zhang Dai's imagination, if he has such a large chicken farm, if there are dead chickens every day, even if he doesn't eat them, he can use them to reward the gods, distribute them to the servants, or beggars to eat, what kind of glorious scene it should be, even if it is in the diary, you can also record how you are righteous and squandering money and loving.

Thinking of this, he was even more indignant, but helpless, and what he found was that it seemed that the locals had long been accustomed to this kind of thing.

Disrespecting scholars is not a big problem in Zhang Dai's opinion, didn't Meng Yuan finally accept the opening of the imperial examination, but what made him feel uncomfortable was the strict rules in all aspects, which made him uncomfortable since he was a child.

Although Zhang Dai was dozens of years old at this time, he had not yet suffered the confiscation of his family property after the death of the country, and he could not write his own epitaph in the future: he was flickering, he could neither seek death nor talk about life, his white hair was swaying, and he still looked at the vastness of the world, and he could not be said to be a person of sound consciousness.

However, they still talked about oracle bones, the two of them had no speculation, Zhou Bin didn't talk about these literary things with anyone for a long time, as a temporary worker, he was really conscientious every day, and he came out to do things today, and it may not be impossible to go back to hand over later, so he was very excited to talk about the oracle bones that he kept bringing back from Henan.

"The three books of "Lianshan", "Guizang" and "Zhou Yi" are called Sanyi, I thought it was the rhetoric in the ancient books, but from today's point of view, I am afraid that there are, but I don't know, the excavator, how long will it take to complete the excavation, according to the report, it must be cautious."

"I'm going to check it out, but I've heard it's a tough road."

"It's not difficult, the Ministry of Health has a plan, and a lot of drugs will be sent in the second half of the year, and this time it will be connected by railway to the whole of Henan."

Zhang Dai really didn't admit this friend, as soon as he opened his mouth, he sent the news, although it is not confidential news, but it can be of great value to many businessmen, of course, Zhang Dai is not obsessed with business, so he only yearns for it.

"I'll go to the ministry to report, I'm going to pick up my son and daughter, I won't accompany me at night, and I'll go to Brother Zhang after a few days of vacation."

Zhang Dai asked, "Pick up?" Where to go? ”

"When you go to school, you're not even ten years old, so it's reassuring to be in school."

Zhang Dai nodded, it's still okay to go to school, but his daughter also went to school so he couldn't think of it, but he still asked: "Brother Zhou wants to pick it up by himself, there is no ...... at home"

He originally wanted to say casually, why not let the servant pick it up, but immediately thought of it, this is almost as ridiculous as why not eat minced meat, this Zhou Wenbin's brother's family background itself is average, and after slowly leaving Zhang Dai's poetry circle, he was reduced to working as a temporary worker in the imperial capital to run errands......

Zhou Bin understood, and said: "The labor in the imperial capital is getting more and more expensive, and I can't afford to hire servants." ”

Compared with the respect for knowledge that the beasts of the later kingdom could hire servant women for one percent of their income, countless beasts were envious, and in the current imperial capital, everything was in chaos, a woman who could boldly obtain a primary housekeeping certificate could go to many houses for cleaning services a month, and each family worked for an hour or two every day, and many people's income almost exceeded that of the master she served.

Zhang Dai sighed and said: "Don't the people here in the imperial capital know the goods, Brother Zhou...... If I don't dislike it, why don't I have servants around me who are used to being called, and let them serve......"

"Shi Gong must not speak, not only can't I afford to hire it, but I can't afford to support it."

"What!"

"Even if the imperial capital is a servant, the asking price is very high now, even if it is the original Guogong family, many of them can't afford to support it, and they all flee, seeing that my children will be almost ten years old, they will have to prepare a house and dowry, so it's better to save a little, my house is less than 100 square meters, I'm afraid I can't live in it."

Zhang Dai was stunned for a moment, his family is rich, and the servants around him may not be so comfortable, but under the practice of this era, the personal servants of the master in the big family are better than ordinary free people.

"The imperial capital is noble and noble, but not expensive, how can it last long."

Bidding farewell to Zhou Bin, who hurriedly returned to the ministry to hand over his work, Zhang Dai walked in the imperial capital where everyone was in a hurry, and suddenly understood why there was such a big difference.

When I was in the south of the Yangtze River, on the edge of the West Lake, there were many rich families and literati, anyway, I had nothing to do every day, so I naturally wandered and wandered, and I was very leisurely.

According to Zhou Bin's introduction, the emperor is not allowed to have beggars, unless it is the second ancestor who has his own family business and someone to support him, otherwise he cannot live in the imperial capital without a job, so it means that people walking on the street are going to work and work hard for their son's living expenses, tuition fees, tuition fees, training fees, and house money for three meals a day in the future.

Thinking of this kind of day, if he moved to Jiangnan, Zhang Dai felt that it was simply terrifying.

Why be so nervous and lose your graceful leisure?

Zhang Dai shook a fan of dozens of taels of silver, his mood was heavy, and the emperor at this time was in his eyes, almost like King Zhou Li, Luoyang under the rule of Dong Zhuo during the Three Kingdoms, Guanzhong in the Wuhu Chaohua era, Chang'an in the An Lushan era, Tokyo Bianliang in the Wanyan Aguta era, and China in the Mengyuan period.

Terrible country.

Even if there is no good life on the surface, there is no Four Books and Five Classics, there is no respect for the readers, and the readers are not allowed to earn a hundred times more than those who sell their hard work, and there is no honor and dignity for the readers, then what kind of country is that?

Such a country might as well perish.

But thinking of those terrible weapons, Zhang Dai felt countless feelings of powerlessness all over his body, which was not something that human power could fight against.

The other party is not the eunuch party that the Donglin Party and the Fushe can deal with with in the past, in essence, the eunuch party is not a good bird, and they are all from scholars, and they all have problems and problems, everyone knows the roots, and some are spies sent by the other party.

Directly slandering people, it seems useless, after all, there is no emperor now, according to Zhou Bin, the prince of the Ming Dynasty actually did not live in a simple place after his marriage, but he was a low-key person, many people claimed to have seen him, but people are sorting out various archives every day, after the alternation of the old and new dynasties, it is also the proper meaning to repair the history of the previous dynasty, and there are some peripheral work carried out by the prince of the previous dynasty, which can be regarded as making this work more convincing.

As for going to see the prince and begging him to come out to preside over the great cause, it seems that it has no effect, and people don't even care about the place in Nanjing, according to Zhou Bin, those spaceships are now controlled by the elders, but occasionally you can know how many supplies in the ministry will be sent by the spacecraft somewhere.

When I thought of this, there was nowhere to start, and there were many officials retained in the imperial capital, but more were bought out of service.

Everything that Zhang Dai originally owned was worthless here.

However, he gritted his teeth and said: "Born in the world, when you are self-improving, those divine objects seem to be just man-made, others can do it, why can't we?" ”

Zhang Dai thought about it carefully, the railway had long been spread by Jiangnan businessmen, and there were also idle sons, so people built a short section, although the rails did not match, but it was known that it was very labor-saving to pull a car on those tightly fitting rails.

It's as simple as that.

"By the way, you can go and see the ...... of that school"

Thinking of this, Zhang Dai's actions were also very fast, and in his opinion, the large amount of gold he carried on this trip could naturally be invincible.

However, as a person with some pedigree, it is naturally impossible to rush over and say that you want to visit your school.

There are many schools in the imperial capital, but the general type is still very simple, the most basic literacy classes are for the toiling masses to read, and it is still free at this stage, the point is to learn the most basic 800 words, can add, subtract, multiply and divide, and then read articles such as "I love my motherland", and those lucky people who can complete primary education and enter secondary school are almost all booked for future jobs.

As for the number of training courses, which depend on the number and workload of the elders, it is hard to find.

It's not a big deal, Zhejiang Guild Hall is required to use the imperial capital's standard bookkeeping books, audit procedures, and tax declaration work, but most of them have sent the account office to study and study.

However, after a long time, they soon discovered that the things taught in this imperial capital were indeed not simple, whether it was geography or various studies, no matter how you looked at it, they all represented the appearance of money.

The original official-oriented color of the Zhejiang guild hall is greatly fading, and it is replaced by a vigorous economic color.
