Chapter 82: What I Saw and Heard at the Post Station (1)
Zhao Gang, who was angry, decided not to take care of this second goods, he was willing to be happy and let him be happy, he would go crazy if he continued, and left the suspension bridge like running away, before leaving, Zhao Gang also heard the continuous laughter of the fool, and Zhao Gang, who listened to it, almost recurred from his old injury, and spit blood in his mouth. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Huh" After leaving the city wall, Zhao Gang exhaled fiercely, he was still quite witty, but the aura of the second goods he met was too strong, and he was taken crooked if he didn't pick him up, and after leaving him, he felt that the air was much fresher.
After wandering around on the road for a long time, I finally found the local post station, saying that it was a post station, but this scale was a little scary, rows of houses surrounded a huge empty square, a lame man was taking care of the horses in the stables, but those horses seemed to be a little strange, they seemed to be black, and there were four-wheeled carriages of various sizes parked in the stables, and craftsmen were inspecting and repairing, so prosperous.
After showing his waist card to the guards at the door, he was allowed to enter this little big scary post station, but he had to charge a lot of accommodation fees for staying overnight in this post station, and thinking that he was also a person with a net worth of hundreds of taels of silver, Zhao Gang still decided to stay for one night and try.
After registering and paying the fee with a waist card at the front desk, Zhao Gang looked at this room, the white sheets and bedding, although not new, but obviously freshly washed, although the ground and wall are not too much decorated, but it is better to be clean, this small room of seven or eight square meters, everywhere exudes the fragrance of soap, sure enough, this money is not spent in vain, this is much stronger than the general inn and the like, after taking the key to his room, The servant who led him told him that if he wanted to eat, he could go to the hall on the first floor by himself, and then he retired.
This kind of post station makes Zhao Gang feel very new, his lunch on the boat is the dry food in the package to deal with, now the sky has gradually darkened, touching his stomach, as if he is a little hungry, looking at those wrinkled dry food, he really has no appetite, "How to say that I am also a person with some net worth, I have worked hard for so many years, I will be chic for a while today, and go down to have a good meal"
"The lights placed in this way are quite beautiful" After Zhao Gang walked out of the door, it was already dark, and the lights in the corridor had been lit, and these lights were fixed at a height of two meters on the wall of the corridor, and two lamps would be placed symmetrically at intervals.
"It's a luxury to light so many candles at this station" It costs 100 yuan a day to live here, and these candles are not spent in vain. (A tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty was almost equal to 500 yuan in the late period, and one penny was equivalent to the current five cents.) Although it may not be accurate, the specific data cannot be found, so it will be set in this way in the future)
"You need to pay eighty yuan in advance to enter the restaurant, take what you want to eat, take as much as you want, and if you can't finish eating, you need to pay extra," just entered the door of the restaurant, Zhao Gang was stopped by a little er who was missing an arm, and he didn't pay attention at first, but now Zhao Gang suddenly reflected that he met in this post station, whether it was a running hall or a soldier, many people were either disabled or with scars, and thinking about the lame man who managed the stables when he first came was also full of scars.
I still remember hearing in the army that the general retired soldiers, there are generally two choices for the future out, one is to enter the local post station to become one of the soldiers, and the other is to enter the Huangzhuang in various places, I didn't believe it at the beginning, how could someone take the initiative to be a soldier, now it seems that some situations are a little different from their own cognition.
Zhao Gang, who was thinking about the mess, paid the money briskly and entered the strange restaurant that had to pay first.
"Can you eat any of these by the way?" After entering the restaurant, I saw a long brick table in the center of the restaurant. The table is filled with a variety of prepared dishes.
"Of course you can, but it's not recommended that you take too much at once, because you can't finish it and you'll have to spend money on these extra meals." The waitress at the table replied with a smile.
"Didn't you say eat by the way? Why do you have to spend money to buy it if you can't finish eating" A meal costs eighty yuan, although it is not particularly expensive, but it is also a luxury for myself who was born poor.
"Childe, this is to prevent someone from eating and becoming a waste, as long as you take a little less than a foot, and then take it if you can't finish eating" was asked by Zhao Gang, the girl who may be a family member of a retired soldier replied very familiarly, it seems that such a situation has been encountered many times.
"Okay, thank you" heard the other party call himself son. Zhao Gang was embarrassed to learn from the people around him and began to choose his favorite dishes, and found an empty table to sit down.
"I heard that General Zhang Bi under General Qin Bangping was beheaded by the prison army not long ago" The winery restaurant has always been the place where the news circulates the most, not far from Zhao Gang, a group of soldiers sat together drinking and chatting.
Hearing the news, Zhao Gang's ears immediately pricked up, and everyone was curious, especially for this kind of big event, who was not interested, so he picked up his plate, sat down next to the group of people again, and quietly listened to the group of people boasting.
"I've also heard, was he really killed, General Qin Bangping is the elder brother of Qin Liangyu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, how could it be that the group of eunuchs of the prison army beheaded his own partial general" Qin Bangping has this Qin Liangyu folded into a relationship, it makes no sense that the group of supervisors will not give face, who doesn't know that now the emperor can trust Qin Liangyu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, that is not something that a eunuch can offend.
"Do you think that those supervising the army are simple, especially now that the supervising army in the army is the person who is the master of ceremonies and the prince Wang Chengen, you must know that the emperor usually calls the prince and the prince's companion, and now this old man has killed the various partial generals of Lord Shangshu, this is a good show, who do you say the emperor will favor when the two are in conflict" Now who doesn't know in the Ming Dynasty, these two people are the most trusted people by the emperor, as for who the emperor trusts more, it's hard to say.
