For more than a month, in addition to the "examination" of his own identity, Chen Ji also spent a considerable part of his mind "studying" the surrounding environment.

Generally speaking, the general context is not much different from the land of China as he knows, but it falls on some details and has many new explanations.

For example, in the Tang Dynasty, there was a white-shirted swordsman who was a top swordsman, who read books well and wrote poems well, but his favorite was actually fighting the sword world and learning from others. In the end, in a small mountain village with no name, a bearded swordsman was entangled to compete with a sword, and the other party thought that the swordsman was really noisy, and almost split his neck with the first sword.

There is also the New Song Dynasty, which inherited the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and there is also a derogatory official surnamed Su, who capsized when he was traveling in Chibi, and after being rescued, he became demented......

In all this, Chen Ji occasionally thinks, "I can't say that this is a parallel space, and he happens to be in this time and space, "he" himself." ”

Speaking of the setting of the world background, Song used to basically be the context in his cognition, and then he began to really deviate, and there was a gap in the middle of the content of the Mongolian iron hoof world.

The Song Dynasty was peaceful for more than 200 years, and the peace passed to the current Zhou Dynasty.

There were no steppe tribes in the middle, and many real cultures were preserved, so this Dazhao, which is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty of China, was much milder from top to bottom. Although the preferential treatment of scholars is not as good as that of the previous dynasty, it is not as harsh as the Ming Dynasty, and it is precisely because of the inheritance of most of the literary styles of the previous dynasty that the level of the scholars of the Zhao Dynasty is very high, which invisibly increases the intensity of competition, so Chen Ji only dares to say that he strives for a "lifter" identity after careful consideration.

On the other hand, it seems that any dynasty will begin to decline at a certain time, and the Jokhang has experienced eight emperors, and now it has reached the point where "either a small Zhongxing will last for another few decades", or "completely destroy the national ancestry".

Not to mention the various ills existing in the imperial court itself, which are destroying and disintegrating this edifice from the inside, it is also important to say that all kinds of external forces directly acting on this imperial edifice should not be underestimated.

One is the "uprising of the displaced people" that can be seen everywhere, and the other is the ugly and ugly people outside the Guan, these are the descendants of the close relatives of the Xiongnu who went to West Asia to start a business more than 200 years ago, and I heard that the eyes can be as big as a cow's eyes, but they are very fierce.

……

The Shandong Buzheng Division, where Qingzhou Mansion is located, happens to be a place where you can see these names, and the meaning of the situation is difficult to understand. Not only do the displaced people occasionally come out to raise the banner; Across the Bohai Sea, part of Liaodong belonging to Shandong, is one of the most tragic battlefields.

Chen Xiujie's relationship is there, and Chen Ji has a more direct understanding of the situation over there.

Liaodong, that is half of the south of the Yangtze River is supporting the land of soldiers.

According to the traces of Chen, it is better to throw it away for the time being, migrate the people, and then defend it along the Great Wall, and tens of millions of "Liaoyu" silver are used in the customs every year, which can be dredged and transported, and can help the displaced people......

No matter how bad it is, it will not be the current situation of being unpopular inside and outside, and its own operation is almost unmaintainable......

Chen Ji occasionally thinks about this, but the general trend of the world, he is also willing to do nothing.

I can only hope that the Ming Dynasty is similar to the known Ming Dynasty, and the time to decide where the world belongs can be later, and let him go over first......

——

Dongying Street, commonly known as "Scissors Street", is located in the east of Qingzhou Mansion and Fuxue, and in the west is located Yidu County Ya and County School. With such a close distance, the closeness between the two levels of officials is also a hardship for the county government, and every time they sit on duty, they have to be half an hour earlier than the government office.

I don't usually feel anything, but once it's winter, it's a bit of a toss.

Therefore, by virtue of the earthquake in the third year of the Apocalypse, the then Yidu Zhi County moved the new Ya to the west more than 100 meters according to the foundation of the old county government, and since then this Dongying Street has been much more spacious.

In recent years, a wealthy businessman has purchased land and built a new "school road" with a length of more than 600 meters according to two "schools".

Some well-known time-honored brands, such as "Fengyuan Building", "Qingyuantang" and "Hushan Paper Fang", have come to open branches, and even directly moved their main stores to this street.

Now more than ten years have passed, the shops on both sides of the street are lined up, merchants gather, and commerce is prosperous, and it has become one of the most prosperous main streets in Qingzhou.

Therefore, on this street, the flow of people is bustling, and the carriages and horses are busy.

In recent years, the two yamen have also rebuilt the road to the upper yamen.

Compared with the cross street where Chen Ji used to buy books earlier, in addition to the smell of books and ink, Dongying Street also has the shouts of people selling pots and sweet potatoes, selling sugar dumplings, sugar gourds and the like, but it is not as lively as the cross street, which may be afraid of disturbing the purity of the "ministers".

There are still stories to listen to in several teahouses every day, as for those who play foreign films, play a trick, or just find a corner, a small empty place to beat the gong on the spot, often just get up, "just put a big stone on the chest", "the neck just touched the head of the gun", the intersection of the two levels of the government and county street patrol officials will come to pick up people, in the long run, no one will come to touch this brow.

At the end of the street is the location of the illustrious Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce, and the whole courtyard is exquisitely carved and magnificent. A gatehouse standing majestically, everywhere or carved with pine cranes and phoenixes that look at the mountain gate, or beautifully painted, implying the long-lasting Qingzhou characteristic pattern......

In the rows of small tile roofs, doors and boards, the shop group shows the noble heritage, like standing out from the crowd......

……

On the seventh day of the first month of March, Chen Ji led Xiao Xi Nu Shenqiu from Chen's Mansion to Dongying Street to catch up with the school, and the carriage was forced to stop on Yunmen Street, the main street of Qingzhou at the corner, and the master and servant turned to walk.

Shen Qiu hung a bookcase in the crook of his arm, half-tilted behind Chen Ji, looked at the long crowd and frowned, "Childe, I didn't hear that there were so many people today." ”

Finally squeezed into Dongying Street, Chen Ji looked at the flow of people from afar, and smiled: "It should be because of the prosperous literary style of Qingzhou Mansion in recent years." ”

Shen Qiu sighed, and after searching the crowd with his little eyes, he said leisurely, "Childe, why don't we change the path?" Otherwise, when will this be squeezed, and if the time is missed, the son will be punished by the husband. ”

Chen Ji stretched out his thumb and pointed to the back of his head, "We can't turn back like this." ”

Shen Qiu squinted left and right a few times, and his ass made a small space in the crowd. Holding the bookcase in front of him, he carefully squeezed in front of Chen Ji, and said, "Childe, I'll open the way for you." ”

Chen Ji nodded and let Shen Qiu do it. As he walked at a rapid pace, he occasionally saw a pen and paper shop on the street, and Shen Qiu wanted to ask: "Childe, are you sure you have bought enough pen and paper?" If it's not enough, I'll buy it for you. When I arrived at the school, my son could only go home once a month, and the pocket money was calculated by Mrs., so it would not be enough to buy more paper and pencils......"

Chen Ji said: "Enough is enough, it's really not enough, just borrow from your classmates in a hurry." ”

Shen Qiu's voice was suppressed, "Childe, you forgot, you don't have any classmates." ”

Chen Ji raised his hand and knocked on Shen Qiu's head, and scolded with a smile: "You know." When the time comes, I will sell you, won't my son be rich? Anyway, nine out of ten people will like your kid's appearance. ”

This is some interesting things that Chen Ji has heard in the market recently, the story of the former Song Dynasty talent and beauty has spread far-reaching, and Jokhang Shilin is a little partial to "***", to be honest, it is really a bit morbid.

Chen Ji had met a scholar with a beautiful maid on the street before, and because he was curious about the way the beautiful maid walked, he couldn't help but look at it twice, but he glared back viciously. Xiao Ran explained to him obscurely, it turned out that the "beautiful maid" was a man dressed as a woman.

In short, a few days after that, Xiao Ran couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes when he saw him.

Chen Ji sighed bitterly a few times, "Damn, how do I know I dare to play like this!" ”

Shen Qiu understood when he heard it, if he really couldn't turn his head, he would definitely turn around and kneel down and cry directly.

Choked his neck, and said sadly: "Childe, don't scare me." ”

Chen Ji didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said solemnly: "Hurry up." ”

Shen Qiu was stupid, and shouted with a straight face, "Don't squeeze, step on my feet, let me ......"

As soon as the words fell, a voice came coldly, and the smile on Chen Ji's face gradually solidified, and soon unfolded again. The eyebrows were raised again, as kind as Lao Tzu looking at his son.

The crowd had moved out of the way, leaving a small field, and most of them had stepped back and puffed out their eyes to look this way. Chen Ji knocked on Shen Qiu's shoulder and said, "Put the bookcase on the ground, Son, I'm going to sit for a while, I'm tired." ”

Shen Qiu noticed the change in the atmosphere on the field, and was stunned for a moment before reacting, wanting to say something, but was stopped by Chen Ji.

Chen Ji's eyes were soft, and he always fell on the few scholars opposite, and said kindly: "This son just asked me what I am, such a wide road is not enough to walk?" Look at what you say, there are many people who read books......"

Chen Ji moved his butt and landed on the bookcase as he spoke, adjusting the placement of his butt a few times, "According to a few sons, what will it be next?" ”

Out of nowhere, he took out a small green fan, opened it and shook it, frowned and said, "Hey, I was happy today, but you actually said such things, it's really uncomfortable......"

cooperated and squeezed the corners of his eyes, so dry that there was no half a tear, and said seriously: "This son, everyone is a scholar, you have to be polite." ”

Shen Qiu stood behind Chen Ji, really feeling that it was a little inappropriate to sit in the middle of the road, and the hand that was shrunk in his sleeve gently pulled Chen Ji's clothes, intending to interject.

Chen Ji raised his hand, pointed at Shen Qiu, and said: "Son, I really don't care about reputation all these years, but I can't even scold my father." His eyes gradually condensed, he crossed Erlang's legs, and then felt that it was more comfortable to fold his left foot on his right leg, so he changed it back.

"So, which bastard are you? Fight with me? Is your dad qualified? ”

cleared his throat, turned his head and explained to Shen Qiu: "You have to pull me later, otherwise I am afraid that if I accidentally kill a reading seed, it will be a sin for the motherland to lose a pillar......"

After that, he used the folding fan to offset his forehead and sighed.
