043 Qujiang River

When Cheng Huailiang was talking about shooting eagles, he found that the people in the study were drunk with the story he explained, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. It was a sense of pride that belonged to the young man, and he felt that his soul was completely in tune with this body.

When Cheng Huailiang was spitting and was happy, he was interrupted again, everyone looked at the person angrily, why are you always so annoying, it was you yesterday, and it was you today.

The eunuch who interrupted Cheng Huailiang's lecture was still the same eunuch from yesterday, and he said weakly: "It's time for class, your teacher will be here soon." ”

"Hey!" All of them lamented. Why do happy times always pass so quickly?

"Don't worry, everyone, there will be a chance in the future." Cheng Huailiang took the opportunity to get out and said. After speaking, he quickly ran to the thatched house, holding it for noon, and if he held it again, he would burst the sauce.

When he returned, Daru had already begun to teach, and he quietly walked around the side, found his place and sat down, and was ready to go to bed again.

"You pig? Know how to sleep all day long? Hepu said unaccustomedly.

"You want to take care of me!" Cheng Huailiang grimaced at Hepu and said.

"You?" Hepu didn't bother to tell him, and started kicking directly under the table with his foot.

The two of them played quietly in the south study, you kicked me and I kicked it, and they had a lot of fun. In the end, he was let go by Hepu in Cheng Huailiang's incessant begging for mercy.

Hey, woman, it's a nuisance, but I can finally sleep again.

Cheng Huailiang, who was lying on the table, fell asleep again.

In the afternoon, when the eunuch announced the end of class, Cheng Huailiang immediately stood up in good spirits, turned around and ran, Hepu didn't stop when he pulled it, and let the kid slip away.

At the gate of the palace, I saw Cheng Chumo, who was already waiting there, he was guarding the palace gate today, and he had just rested. After a while, the bad guy Li chased after him.

Cheng Huailiang saw that everyone had arrived, so he ran to the West Market. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, it was divided into two cities, east and west, and the east was rich and the west was rich.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty showed his magnificent face, so that the surrounding countries were uneasy, as long as the Tang Dynasty did not provoke them, they burned incense and worshiped the Buddha, so Chang'an began to slowly move towards the political, economic and military center of the entire East, and Xishi was the exchange place between the Tang Dynasty and the entire surrounding countries, so it was very prosperous.

Cheng Huailiang has been to the West Market before, but it is just a quick look, today I took a good look at the West Market with them, because there is a curfew at night, all the transactions are completed during the day, so the entire West Market is really crowded, come here just to see people, nothing else can be seen.

I casually inquired about the shops on both sides of the street, the price was really not cheap, and Cheng Huailiang didn't like it very much, so he gave up his plan to open a restaurant in the West Market.

Cheng Chumo and Li were helpless, so they had to accompany Cheng Chuliang to Dongshi.

When they arrived in the East Market, the sky began to darken, the flow of people in the East Market began to decrease, and the people who lived far away began to rush back.

The East Market is actually similar to the West Market, but many dignitaries and nobles live here, so it looks a little more orderly here, and the difference is not much, but it is the place where the Jiaofang Division, that is, the official prostitutes, is here. There are more carriages on the road and so on, anyway, it feels like that to Cheng Huailiang, and the price of the shop is also high and scary. The three of them don't have much money, only 3,000 in total, and it's not easy to dream of an idiot if they want to open a bigger restaurant here.

There was no way, so the three of them wandered outside without any purpose. Walking and walking came to the edge of a river.

Datang's environmental protection at this time is a bargain, the cool breeze is disturbing, and I feel a bit like I want to go back by the wind, but unfortunately, suddenly a smell came over, which immediately affected Cheng Huailiang's good mood.

Cheng Huailiang looked left and right suspiciously, but he didn't see the source of the stench.

asked Cheng Chumo next to him, Cheng Chumo pointed to the river in front of him and said: "The stench is coming from the river in front of you, and the government has dealt with it several times, but the effect is not ideal, and there are poor people around here, eating, drinking and Lazar are all in this river, and it is difficult to think about whether it stinks." ”

Do they still want to eat such stinky water? No wonder there have been so many plagues in the history of Chang'an, there is a reason.

But there is no way, the Ministry of Industry has dealt with it several times, but it is a symptom but not a cure, and then it gave up directly, all the rich people, officials and nobles have moved out of here, this is the slum of Chang'an City.

Standing on the edge of the river, you can still see people wearing very thin clothes and shivering passing by.

Cheng Huailiang has been in the Tang Dynasty for so long, and he has never paid attention to how the poor are doing, but when he suddenly saw these people in front of him, Cheng Huailiang suddenly wanted to do something for them, not why, he just didn't want to see them suffer anymore. Compassion suddenly flooded.

So what can be done to change the fate of these poor people? Cheng Huailiang couldn't help but fall into deep contemplation.

Improve their quality? Is it possible? The literacy rate in the Tang Dynasty was less than 2 percent.

Promote the knowledge of civilized hygiene? , if you have that time, you might as well go out and find a job to do, then it's a little more realistic.

The government issued an example and forced them to do this and that? If it had been useful, the Ministry of Industry would have done it a long time ago.

What should I do? Cheng Huailiang couldn't help scratching his head, squatting by the river and looking at the river silently.
