Chapter 689: Shouting all the way to the car
Zhang Xiaobao and the five of them rushed towards Jiangnan West Road at a speed of almost 800 miles.
Xiaobei's group of children in the water of Jiangzhou are tired of being bored, and they can't get off the boat, and it's not easy to get out of the cabin, so they can only hide in the cabin to play and study.
They didn't feel comfortable even though there were large cabins for them to move around, windows that opened to let in sunlight, and even an indoor pool for them to swim in.
Even Pan'er, the two younger ones, were always clamoring to go out, and the scenery they saw was too dull.
"Let's go to the deck at noon to eat, it's almost enough to pretend to be afraid, now there is no other ship on the river that can threaten us, and the same is true in the water, I don't believe it anymore, who can dive and swim over, and then climb into the boat to attack us."
Xiaobei stood on a table, leaned at the window of the cabin, and looked out with a telescope, and said to the brothers and sisters below who were also troubled.
"I'll see it." Xiao Yuan agreed, hiding in the cabin at the beginning was nothing more than giving the other party an impression that he and others were afraid, now that many days have passed, the people who should be arrested have almost been caught, if the other party has not been caught, it is estimated that he will not be able to see himself and others, he must be hiding in a hidden place, saying that he is not dead.
Xiao Yuan looked at Xiao Hai as he spoke, now Xiao Hai is the leader, don't look at Xiao Hai who usually doesn't make much noise.
Xiao Hai pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "It's okay to go out to eat at noon, you have to block things around, don't let others see us at once, we have to show the local people, the things on the ship are basically distributed to the people, just to ease the lives of the people." β
"It's been sent out, and it's being mobilized to Jiangzhou from other places, and the locals have almost stopped work and production in order to help us, and we are guilty of not sending them anything outside."
Xiaobei continued to look outside with a telescope, there were many people on the dock who were busy moving things, the small cart was the most, and the things were thrown upward, and a person pushed the wheelbarrow very quickly, and the three or five hundred pounds of things were transported to the city without any problems.
It was all all kinds of daily necessities that had been transferred from the neighborhood in the past few days, and they were given away free of charge, and the things that the ship had originally planned to earn for travel expenses and other expenses along the way were also free of money.
After all, Xiaobei and they came to seal the city, they didn't say anything, and they helped arrest people, basically not working every day, patrolling around, digging three feet into the ground, there are really many places that have been dug up, and people are caught from it.
So you can't just think about taking advantage of the people, although the people in Jiangzhou feel that they can't stand Xiaobei and others, and are willing to pay for free.
Boatloads of goods are delivered to the wharf, and the locals are responsible for carrying them, and then the officials and prominent people organized by the locals temporarily distribute them to each family, counting them according to the number of people, and in the process do not forget to grasp which families are not living well, and whether there are old people, children and sick people.
"Tap, tap, don't worry, this box is not rice, it's not oil, it's medicine." When a foreman on the dock saw the sign on the box, he was very cautious and warned the person who came to take over.
It turned out that one person took over, and as soon as he heard that it was medicine, there was an uproar, and three or four people came over and braided the ropes together neatly, forming a net, and carried them little by little with bamboo poles on both sides, not intending to put them on the wheelbarrow at all, so as not to bump.
Now the price of glass has dropped, but it has definitely not fallen to the point where ordinary people can afford it, and the medicine used by medical schools to hang drips is in glass bottles, as well as injections.
This process alone is not simple, don't look at the treatment of diseases when you don't need to spend money, but it doesn't mean that the medicine is not expensive, and the people of Jiangzhou are also very aware of this.
"Life-saving things, be careful, if only you could give us a glass bottle when you run out." A young man carrying a bamboo pole on his shoulder in front of him turned his head to look at the box and said regretfully.
The person next to him laughed: "The glass is very expensive, and it will be given to you when it runs out, what do you think?" Do you know how much a glass bottle can sell for when it arrives? At least 5 strokes. β
"Nonsense, I didn't buy the glass bottle of the charge, and I didn't leave it for you, because I was afraid that something called bacteria would be left on the bottle during the treatment, and it would infect others, especially the small bottle, in case it touched the hand and it was scratched, and the disease was reborn, and the court would have to spend an extra amount of money."
A person who followed the protection next to him said, from the dress of this person, it can be known that he is a literati, to be precise, he has not been admitted to the fame, but he is literate a lot, and he can also memorize a lot of scriptures, and teach in the school.
"Master Huang, you are very knowledgeable, can you tell me, when will ordinary people like us be able to use glass in every household? Look at the glass windows used by the rich and noble, I really still see, it is bright, the light, it shines in, as if it is not blocked, but it can block the wind and rain, it is much stronger than the paper window, and I am not afraid of turning yellow. β
The first person to speak said with a look of yearning.
The person next to him also echoed: "There is also a glass mirror, which is more than twice as strong as a copper mirror, and it doesn't need to be sharpened often, as long as you wipe something, it will be bright again. β
As a master, when he heard other people's inquiries, he seemed very satisfied, explaining that he was knowledgeable, so he pretended to groan and said: "Glass and mirrors are actually the same thing, and if you smear something on one side of the glass, it will become a mirror, as long as the Zhang and Wang families are willing, the people of the Tang Dynasty can now use the mirror." β
"Huh? Right now? So why don't the Zhang and Wang families do much? They don't want to make money from our ordinary people, look at the things they give, they are not cheap, just because we help them find people, and they don't need a penny for the things they ship.
Not only was there food, but there was also meat, and in normal times they couldn't eat meat every day, so when they came, they stopped there, and a lot of people were transferred from other places, and they could eat a little bit every day.
There is also a lot of salt, originally we need to transport the salt here from the river, compared to the local salt over there is more expensive than two cents per catty, now there is no money, a batch of salt transported, distributed to each family, enough for each family to eat for half a year.
With the addition of vegetable oil, it is not worse than during the New Year, they are too good to say to our people, why don't they give us glass and mirrors? I don't believe it. β
In his heart, the Zhang and Wang families take great care of people like themselves, not only can the children go to school without spending money, but they will also be rewarded for giving birth to children in the future, and helping the emperor together, and it also costs no money to go to treatment when they are sick.
They also helped to repair roads and bridges to facilitate access, and if they were affected by a disaster, the rent of the year would be waived, and at the same time they would provide materials for disaster relief, so that they would never give themselves a mirror for money.
Huang Fuzi shook his head, looking like a child who could not be taught, opened the folding fan with a snap, and gently fanned it twice in the strong wind, probably because he was afraid that the wind would blow the paper fan out, and closed it carefully, and said:
"In the future, you have to go to night schools to learn, you can't do without learning, you can't use glass, the Zhang and Wang families won't care, they only care about curing diseases, managing education, repairing bridges and roads, managing the price of the grain you eat, as well as the price of vegetarian oil, meat oil, and more importantly, the price of salt.
With all this, you won't starve, you won't be unable to afford salt and oil, and you won't die of a minor illness like before, but I haven't heard of people dying if you don't use glass, and if you can't die, why should they care about you?
Every family has glass, and they need a lot of craftsmen, and then there is a small country in the southwest, and they come and give you some money, and you can sell the glass to them.
For the Zhang and Wang families, glass is a luxury, and they also count on glass to make money, and then subsidize your usual consumption, disaster relief needs money, medical treatment needs money, glass no longer makes money, no matter how big the Zhang Wang family business is, there will be a day when they are poor.
Do you know what a three-inch square glass mirror can get in exchange for the island outside after going out to sea? You can exchange for at least 100 acres of land, plus the local indigenous leaders arrange to grow food, the food produced will be sent, and it will be supplied to you, when the mirror is owned by the family, it will be worthless, do you want not to go hungry when you are affected by the disaster or look in the mirror? β
"When, of course, you can eat enough, it seems that when Datang doesn't want outside food, when can we use glass and mirrors casually, Huang Fuzi, you still know more, there is no glass, it is better than not having food."
The person who spoke up in the back didn't have to think much about it at all, so he gave the answer in his heart.
The person who carried the pole in front also said: "After catching the people who hurt Xiaobei and them, I took time out at night to study, and I didn't dare to think when I was a child, one day I could learn to read and write casually, and there were books to read, but there was too little paper at that time, and ink could not be used."
It's not as good as the moment, my children go to school, paper doesn't need money, ink can be used casually, think about it and think it's strange, Datang paper and ink suddenly have more. β
"It's the thing called productivity that has improved, there have always been rich and poor in the world, and more people are not satisfied, even if they know that their lives are better than before, but they prefer to live a better life with the people around them, which is the driving force for progress and the root of movement."
Huang Fuzi opened the fan again, protected the wind blowing around him with his hand, and shook it lightly a few times, showing an unfathomable appearance.
The man nodded violently: "Yes, move dΓ ng, move dΓ ng, there are still people who want to harm Xiaobei, they are impatient, kill Xiaobei and them, Xiaobao and Juan Juan are angry, so it would be good if they couldn't even eat, hum!" Continue to look for it at night, and no one is allowed to slip through the net, so they are all arrested, waiting for Xiaobei to cut off their heads. β
"Where else can they hide? It is possible that all the pits have been dug in the place where they are hiding, and although a few people have been caught, a hundred pits are not as good as one person. β
The other man muttered.
"Then dig 10,000 pits, fill them up after digging, don't say it's a person, even a mouse will be dug up." Another person gritted his teeth and said, looking at that posture, even if it turned the entire Jiangzhou land over, he would not hesitate to do it.
The people they were worried about were indeed having a terrible time right now.
In the city of Xunyang in Jiangzhou, under a deserted temple on a hill not too far from the city wall, there were six people hiding.
None of the six people dared to go out, because there had always been people in the abandoned temple above since the time of Xunyang martial law, and almost the entire temple had been turned over.
The reason why the six people were not dug out like rats was because the place where they hid was unusual, they hid under the thatched pit, which was not there when they first dug the tunnel, but later felt that this place was not important, so it was changed to a thatched house, and so the thatched pit appeared.
When they were convened before, they were all in the ruined temple, but this time there was really nowhere else to hide, so they had to hide in the pit, and they were covered in a foul smell.
"Fangzi, no, stay any longer, within three days, I smoked and smoked to death, a ventilation place close to the root of the wall is not enough at all, and from time to time because we haven't closed it well, dripping fecal water downward, can you see if you can repair it?"
One of the six said to the man sitting next to him with his eyes closed and leaning against the wall of the tunnel.
There was no light in the tunnel, just a small vent against the wall, making it look like a crack.
When the eyes of a person called Fang Zi are opened, even if he can't see others, it is much more comfortable to speak with his eyes open.
"Repaired, don't dare to touch it again, in case it is not good, the uproar will all fall down at once, not to mention whether we will be drowned, if someone above goes to the thatched house, they will also find us.
Originally, there wasn't a lot of feces and urine in the thatched pit in the temple, and it was all made when we came over to discuss things, but who knew that now it has become their place, and as a result, many people come in to every day.
Don't you dare to move casually, didn't hear the movement above? As soon as they came, the temple was demolished, and they dug under the Buddha statues inside, and they dug under the pillars, as if they really knew that we were underneath, and thanks to the fact that they didn't dig the roots of the walls, otherwise we would all have been arrested.
Fortunately, we used to put a lot of food and water in it, although it can only be eaten raw, and the water is not clean, but it is better than being caught out now, beaten first, and then losing your head.
Anyway, it's all the smell on the body, let's solve it in the tunnel together after eating, drinking, and Lazar, and then insist on it, I believe that it won't take a few days, and they will leave, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. β
The other five people knew what this recipe meant, they didn't directly participate in the bombing of Xiaobei and others, they belonged to the hidden personnel, but as soon as they made a move, the entire Xunyang was immediately under martial law, and a group of soldiers rushed to the street and checked from house to house.
They found that something was wrong, so they fled to the ruined temple, and found that it seemed unstable, so they had to endure the smell and get in, and rub their bodies against the buried things.
thought that if they hid for two days at most, Xiaobei and they would not risk the danger of stopping Xunyang Chengmin's livelihood for a long time.
Who knew that when someone from above entered the hut, he said something that they couldn't believe.
At that time, it was two people who came in together to relieve their big hands, and they began to talk about this incident above, one said that he would not find the person behind the instructions, and he would rather not do any work and continue to look for it, otherwise he would not have the face to eat the things sent by the imperial court when he was affected by the disaster in the future, and he would not have the face to go to the hospital for treatment when he was sick.
The other is even more ruthless, swearing to dig three feet into the ground, rummaging through the entire Xunyang, and also to carry people out, first smash the bones of the limbs, and then peel the skin, and not directly peel it to death, but to peel a small piece of skin, take hemp to stick it to stop bleeding, and when it is almost good, it will be uncovered down.
When the meat is peeled off layer by layer, and when the bones are removed, it is over.
The other helped to add it, saying that the salt water was disinfected, and the salt water was brushed on the place where the lΓΉ meat was placed, or it was tied up, and the body was smeared with sugar, and it was brought to the side of the ant's nest so that the ants could eat it little by little.
At that time, after listening to it, it was creepy, and the enemies who killed their fathers were nothing more than that, and they didn't blow them up, so why bother to catch them.
Xiaobei, they are so popular with the people?
As a result, day by day, a little bit of news can be heard every day, and the summary is that some of them use the temple as a resting place, and then go out every day to find a hole where people may hide, and where there are few people, the smoke suddenly rises, and even the cemetery is not spared.
It is better to risk offending the bones of the dead by lighting incense, burning paper, and kowtowing to make amends, or digging up the grave to see if anyone is hiding inside.
Crazy, all crazy.
What's even more frightening is that every day I can hear the people above say how many more they caught, where and where they were caught, and how to deal with them after they were caught.
Some are hiding in the tunnels, some are in the cellars, some are in the dry wells, some are on the beams of the houses, some are in the mezzanine of the boats in the river, some run into the canopy of a tree with dense foliage in the woods, some are hidden in other people's barns, and so on.
Anyway, it is to search every corner, and look for it over and over again, and the arrested people have also been tortured again and again, and those who can provide clues will suffer less.
The temple where the six of them are hiding has been mentioned more than once, but fortunately, the people who know the following authenticity, except for the six who are still in the city, the other people who know are not in Xunyang.
Even so, he and others did not dare to take it lightly, the sound of eating should be quiet, the voice of talking should be quiet, and two people must be awake when sleeping, because they are afraid that other people who are asleep will snore.
Even so, there are people who will talk in their dreams when they are asleep, saying that they have been caught, willing to make meritorious contributions, etc., no one knows whether people who are not in Xunyang City will be caught, once caught, maybe the other party can say anything.
Now I can only hope that it will end soon, or if the top is dug up, then it will be dead, and now is the most tormenting.
"I'd rather die here than be caught by them." Fang Zi said again.
The five people did not speak out, and it is estimated that they also considered it.
Five days later, on the official road to Jiangzhou, a two-wheeled carriage drawn by three horses was moving at half the speed of an ordinary carriage.
The driver wore a hat on his head, but he did not hide his face completely, for he raised his head, and occasionally looked around for a moment, so that it was easy to see his slightly slightly white-headed hair, and his beard that hung down from the sides of his mouth and in front of him with the beard at his chin.
From time to time, the driver of the carriage had to throw two empty whips, and the snapping movement made the person who was overtaken by the carriage frown, and his scolding that seemed to be a verbal language attracted people's attention.
And who is sitting in the car, the people outside are not clear, and the speed of the car is impossible for the people in the car to get down easily, and at the same time, the curtain of the car is tightly blocked, no matter how strong the wind is, it cannot blow the slightest gap.
"Just eat and don't pull, drive! The sound of eating things that don't pull the momentum sounded again.
Of the four people sitting in the car, three of them were shaken and already felt the mΓ mus, and the woman sitting opposite them was very natural and didn't seem to care about the bump.
"I still think it's good to ride a horse, I'd rather be worn out, and I'm also forced to fall apart by a car, but I have to admit that the little boy's craftsmanship in driving the car is really not ordinary, and there seems to be no little boy who can't do things in the world, don't you say, Zhang Nan."
"No, I don't think it's okay to have a child." Zhang Nan replied.
"What if."
"Wang Gang, you are looking for death, right?" Wang Juan on the other side spoke up.
"Don't dare, it's a joke, didn't I praise the little boy, the owner, you said that we drove all the way, can we really meet their people? The car was running so fast that even if they met them, they couldn't catch up. β
Wang Gang shrunk his neck, smiled, and asked Wang Juan.
"What do you know, Xiaobao didn't plan to contact the other party now, Xiaobao was making a show to show the people of our own intelligence system and the emperor's intelligence system, and immediately entered the lower boundary of Jiangzhou, let's not go to Xunyang, but go directly to Poyang Lake.
The three of you continue to be familiar with what has been taught to you, and if anyone is recognized by our intelligence system, they will never play with him again in the future, and if you feel that you are not good, you will keep making psychological hints now. β
Wang Juan explained Zhang Xiaobao's purpose for doing this, and reminded the three of them again.
But the three of them still didn't understand, and Zhang Yu asked puzzledly: "Boss, why do you want our intelligence system to target us?" Since you don't want them to recognize it, why don't we just make it so public? β
"If you don't stalk, how can you get in touch with the other party's manpower here? Now that Xunyang is locked down, the whole Jiangzhou is also rumored, and the contact location left by the other party is guaranteed to be gone.
If you want the other party to find yourself, you have to let our people target us, I believe that the other party can already guess which one is our person, and the person who our people are staring at is also the person that the other party pays attention to, and when they see Xiaobao dressed up as Ning Tian, they will definitely find a way to get in touch.
What about us, just open a store, you know what store to open, remember to cooperate well, not only to catch each other, but also to catch the other party's corrosion, drug addiction, understand? β
Wang Juan explained in detail this time.
The three guys nodded at the same time: "I understand, but I didn't bring the smoking gun." β
"Go to the place to make it, you are not allowed to steal that thing, don't think that your perseverance is enough, if you are addicted, you will clean you up."!
