Chapter Fifty-Six: The World Is Difficult
Lodo City
Although the weather has warmed up, there are endless carloads carrying corpses on the busy streets of the past.
Chen Yuan, who is known as the king of the stall, just finished the morning stall and only sold two pieces, but he still wasted his tongue for a long time and set up a small pendant before he sold it.
More and more roads are being cleared, but the outsiders on the street are sparsely populated.
He hadn't eaten in the morning, so even though he had drunk a lot of cold water, he still felt uncomfortable with an empty stomach.
The name of this prince and grandson still comes from his ancestral origins.
It is said to be the descendants of the missions left in Middle-earth by the Great Qin (Byzantium) in the past, and the last branch of the imperial family of a certain dynasty of the Great Qin more than a hundred years ago.
In fact, not long after they sent to Middle-earth, there was news that there was a change in the Great Qin Kingdom, a civil war that changed the dynasty, and the royal family of the old dynasty was almost slaughtered
Chen Yuan, the ancestor who was the deputy envoy, took the initiative to give up his old Qin nationality after crying, and entered the Tang Dynasty as a naturalized person, giving the surname Chen, marrying a woman, and entering the dynasty as a long-term guard.
Therefore, by now, his physical appearance is no different from that of most Tang people, except for his eyes and a trace of blue-gray, which is also the last trace of his ancestors who branched out in Middle-earth.
It's just that with the weakening of the imperial power, the lives of these vassal envoys and guests who are attached to the name of the Sifang Court of the imperial court and eat mixed meals are not much better. All kinds of treatment and rationing, not enough to last two generations, have to fend for themselves.
After all, even the emperor of the Tang Dynasty once became the target of wanton abolition and replacement of various military towns, who can take care of them as individualized outsiders.
By the time Chen Yuan's parents arrived, they were already in the middle of the road, and they were very hard-working, so they could only make a living as interpreters and stalls in the Western Fan Hall.
As the spiritual pillar of the inheritance family, he can only conceive a perfect Great Qin (Roman) Empire as a spiritual home for self-encouragement based on the few words handed down by his family and the so-called historical materials in some stall literature.
In this generation, I still asked Mr. to give him a word - Xuandi. Sending the feelings of the majority of lintels.
It's just that this name failed to change the deteriorating embarrassment of his family, and when his parents died early in poverty, it reached his hands, leaving only a dilapidated house with the same courtyard, which could barely live, and he couldn't even afford to rent a decent shop, so he could only rely on the stalls.
Because he never forgot the scenery of his ancestors, he did the cheap business of the street vendors, so he got the nickname of the king and grandson of the stall.
On the other hand, it is because his daily livelihood is to go to his acquaintances in Luoduxi City to buy a batch of crude imported feudal objects on credit, and then sell these things to those foreigners in the name of relics of the ancient country under the banner of this ruined king's grandson.
If they can't be sold out in time, they can only live hungry and full, by pulling out some garlic moss seedlings and stealing some melons and vegetables grown by residents, and barely survive.
But his favorite thing to do on weekdays is to squat outside the washer and listen to books, using historical figures with similar stories to himself.
Since the rise of the Tang Dynasty Qianyuan Zhongxing, Weijia overseas, Wanbang Xianyi, there are many Fanbang kings surname, rushing to the east, in addition to those small states of Wan'er that rose and fell, there is also no lack of royal descendants such as rest, Great Qin and other great powers.
Many of them came to Middle-earth to join their ministers with the last of their subordinates and goods after the country was broken, hoping to use the power of the Tang Dynasty to restore the country and rejuvenate the country or hide a corner of the wings, and then make plans.
Among them, the most famous story of the Persian prince Sun Li Siyuan or Bahlan IV, since the Persian prince Balus went to the east and received the rank of general of Wuwei and left a blood heir, it has been passed to the fourth generation of the Persian prince and grandson, and the relatives and tribes have all been scattered, and there is only one old slave left around.
But fortunately for him, it coincided with the era when Liang Gong was gradually emerging, and after he was hidden in the market and became a singing boy in the fire worship shrine, he re-elevated it and cultivated it carefully.
In the end, he led a partial division, active in the eastern border of the homeland that had been sunk for a hundred years, fought in the unfamiliar wilderness, and then waited for the imperial court's westward expedition army, and finally helped the first battle in one fell swoop, and regained the famous Sassanid county, which has been passed down to this day for the twenty-first generation.
There is also Xue Yu, the prince of Ba Na Khan, the old country was usurped by the pro-big food ministers, rushed to the Tang Dynasty, won the appreciation of Liang Gongqing's eyes, privately helped the volunteers, killed the powerful ministers and rebelled against the party in one fell swoop, and opened up the territory and the north and south of the Green Mountains.
"Chen Wangsun ......"
"Haven't you found the ancestral treasure yet......
The stall owners who knew each other well all greeted him kindly or jokingly, and they were basically residents of the nearby city, who came out to sell old things at home because of the deteriorating livelihood difficulties. It's also a kind of sympathy for the same disease on Cheng dù.
"If you restore your ancestral business, such as the Lin family, you must bring one or two of our old neighbors......"
But they're talking about another allusion,
The so-called Great Qin monarch has no fixed species, only the theory of kindness and strong obedience, and it is regarded as a few generations more frequent, so even the Tang people can once enter their country and open a dynasty for several generations.
One of the most famous, is the Chinese Lin Shenhe, Lin Shenye brother and sister allusions, when the Chinese people opened the sea and the domain of Taixi, once helped the Great Qin Wangshi, including this pair of brothers and sisters, with the army with cooking skills in the army to the leader of the Great Qin Prince, this prince later succeeded to the throne as the new emperor of the Isurian Dynasty - Leo IV
Because of this, the Lin brothers and sisters began to see the emperor's favor all the year round, and in the rebellion of Yi Lini, who was supported by the icon worship party, led the naval army to protect and rescue the driver, and accepted his sister as a concubine, and ordered his brother to be the minister in charge of the holy palace, and the sailor supervised.
At that time, the deposed Empress Elini tried to join forces with the Franks, and the internal and external aid should divide the western part of the empire, and the recovered provinces, and establish themselves as Augustus. Emperor Leo went to conquer the peace, and then entrusted him with one of the ministers of the imperial decree and assisted in the administration of the state.
Later, Leo IV was assassinated by the remnants of the Idol Worship faction in the Thermal Palace in Milan, and the Lin brothers and sisters set things right, in the name of the co-ruling emperor, guardian of the young master, and performed the duties of regent.
He made every effort to go out of the treasury, sold and raised funds, organized and trained a new army, reused the common people, regardless of ethnic groups, promoted the handsome people, swept away the chaotic party internally, pacified the provinces, and formed strong neighbors from outside to help, and it was difficult to survive the turbulent period that lasted for several years.
Because the young body was weak and died of cold at the age of seven, the Lin brothers and sisters were persuaded by the ministers to advance, and under the recognition of the two major forces of Khazar and Liang Xia, they officially succeeded to the new emperor, and took the acacia flower as the emblem, creating the so-called Serishua Acacia Dynasty in history.
Although several dynasties have been replaced, the descendants of this clan still have a large area of land in the northern Anatolian Plateau of Asia Minor, and continue to be a hereditary state power and a peripheral vassal of Liang Xia.
Therefore, as the Lin brothers and sisters who opened a dynasty in a foreign land, there are also many people who cling to their families in the name of the same sex and the same clan in the country.
As a result, various passages and commentaries were derived, which were regarded as a model for the people of this dynasty to expand the branches and branches of the foreign domain.
However, at the moment, for this Chen Wangsun, he has another problem to worry more about
The business has become more and more difficult to do, if he owes too much on credit, he can only sell himself to pay it back, such as being forced to take the shopkeeper of Dongyuanzhai in West City, the only daughter who is eight feet tall and has a waist circumference of eight feet, nicknamed Xiaomi, and alias Jiji Hen, so as to inherit his hundreds of family business.
But when he thought that he was going to marry a humanoid fat pig who was known as gentle and virtuous, and then changed his nickname to Chen Bachi, he couldn't help but shudder, and even the hunger in his stomach was temporarily forgotten.
"It's ...... you again"
A young official in Tsing Yi dressed as a representative of the lowest errand walked over, waved the short stick in his hand, and said as a threat
"Don't you still eat memory......"
"Brother Pengju,."
Chen Yuan suddenly changed his expression, and said with a flattering face
"Less sets are almost ......"
The young official scolded
"Aren't you always embarrassing me?"
"Haven't I opened much yet...... I can't be told to move back as I am."
"You bastard boy......"
A leaf-wrapped bag was thrown to him secretly, but it was a palm-sized cake
He has been expelled many times by this official and Pengju, and the cat and mouse guerrillas are all familiar with each other.
"I'm afraid I'm going to chase you for the last time this time......"
The young official named Pengju said with some sadness
"How can I say it......"
Chen Yuan was slightly startled, and said with a hippie smile
"You're not kidding, I still expect my brother to take care of my business......"
"The Dujian government posted a notice, saying that the state affairs are difficult, and it is necessary to open up sources and reduce expenditure, one of which is to remove the servants and envoys of foreign products."
"The miscellaneous currents of these city managers and post guards are also among them...... I have to find another way to make a living."
"What can I do about this......
It must be known that the earliest chengguan was quite a profession of covering luxury people, which was created by Liang Gong, who selected strong and good families, and wore soldiers to patrol the two capitals and thirteen mansions.
And the Liangjing sequence is the most Xuanhe, known as the Tianjie with a knife, because as the subordinates of the left and right Jinwu Street envoys, they have the responsibility and duty to clear the left and right of Tianjie.
There is also a folk song, "Don't be afraid of the clean street tiger, don't be afraid of the Jinwu, just be afraid of the city management office", because the bad guys and bad handsomes who are known as the clean street tigers are from humble backgrounds, and for the small people in the market, it is just a trivial matter.
And the high-ranking Zhijin Wucun zài is too far away from their daily life.
Only as a city manager in many famous cities, who specializes in suppressing riots and clearing obstacles and patrolling roads, can they have the right and responsibility to do things cheapest in the city.
It's just that after the Yiwei Rebellion, the status and importance of the city management have been declining, and the jurisdiction has also shifted from the forbidden four guards of Jinwu and the prison gate, to the guards, and then to the Jingzhao Mansion, and finally to the county administration.
The position has shrunk even more, and the hawker stalls that occupy the road can only be evicted from the streets. But it's better than ordinary people to eat more saturated and have the opportunity to mix more oil and water.
But now, it is obvious that even this existential establishment is gone, which can't help but make people feel very frustrated.
"It's a big deal to join the army, I don't believe that as long as my hands and feet are sound, I won't be without work."
The official named Pengju forced a smile and said.
