Chapter 21
"Every day, the five watches, the monks of the monasteries play iron signs or wooden fish follow the door to report the dawn, and they also divide the land and seek transformation during the day. People who tend to enter the market rise up when they hear this. ”
- "Tokyo Menghualu: The Dawn of Heaven Enters the Market"
But then naturally, there are other problems.
Because all of these actions require the presence of government personnel to maintain order, the most serious problem now is the shortage of manpower. Moreover, there are some shoddy things that are gradually happening. In order to have a "moral" liveliness, some grain stores donated old sesame seeds and rotten grains to the outside world, so that the victims of the disaster fell ill and other things.
Although the political achievements are gradually rich, there are also dizzying incidents at the same time. From the initial praise of Liu Zhengping's behavior, Lord Zhizhou slowly gave birth to a little anger and sorrow.
Liu Zhengping was apprehensive, he didn't dare to make a noise, he racked his brains for a while but couldn't think of any good way to deal with it, so he hurriedly wrote in detail in the letter and sent it over.
Chu Feng also knows the truth that "the more you do, the more wrong you are", but after all, in the face of good deeds, many things need to be compromised.
As much as possible, I thought of some simple solutions, such as changing the usual flexible, small-scale, and irregular donation behavior into a unified form with rules and schedules, and so on. Chu Feng didn't worry much about things like shoddy, after all, the eyes of the common people were bright, and it was clear who was good and who was bad. Just like the grain store mentioned in the letter, perhaps after it made a donation, the sales of the grain store have indeed increased a lot because of the people's word of mouth. But after the matter is exposed, this reaction force may not be underestimated. As time goes by, the more things like this happen, the more obvious this power becomes.
Most of the people who do business are smart people, and Chu Feng believes that they are all able to think clearly about this kind of thing. This behavior is somewhat similar to the industrial chaos in the early days of the market economy. In fact, there is no need to interfere too much, and it will naturally go out with the free adjustment of the market.
Liu Zhengping also mentioned that some ordinary people pretended to be victims of the disaster to receive relief.
Chu Feng suggested that on the basis of the current identity control of the disaster victims, some identification should be done. Most of the road guides for the victims have been lost, and in order to facilitate management, it is a matter of the government to re-apply for some documents similar to ID cards for everyone.
In fact, the ancient road guides are very simple. After all, it was an era when there was no photographic technology, so I could only write adjectives such as a few feet in length, a geometric beard, fat ears and broad lips on the road.
Chu Feng suggested that when the victims received the donated materials, the government should assist in verifying the identities of the victims. Secondly, in order to avoid the victims receiving several times in a donation, you can also use some small means on the spot to print a seal on your hand that cannot be washed off in a short time......
After all, Chu Feng didn't do these things professionally, but because he had some experience that he had seen with his eyes thousands of years later, he was talking nonsense, and most of them were such small things.
Write what comes to mind. Unavoidably.
A few times, Chu Feng felt that he had almost written, and after packing up and going to bed and lying down, he remembered something, so he hurriedly got up and filled it in again. If so, three.
Chu Feng wrote a full sixteen pages before dragging out all the thoughts in his heart. He didn't mean to receive merit or reward, but every time he thought of the victims he had seen in the middle of the night, he couldn't help but sigh and feel guilty in his heart. Since I can't stay there and do something. That's all he can do.
I slept for more than two hours in a daze. Chu Feng got up, hurriedly washed up, ate, took the written letter and went out, and went straight to Fan's calligraphy and painting shop in Chengdong City, Tokyo.
Lao Zhang wanted to drive for him, but Chu Feng refused.
"Brother Zhang, I'm afraid he is not familiar with the road. And I have to wait for Mr. Wen Duan to get up in the morning for a while. I'm in a hurry, so I have to go early and hire a car on the road. Chu Feng said with a smile.
When Lao Zhang heard this, he scratched the back of his head with some shame.
Chu Feng hired a car and went straight to Dongshi, all he was thinking about was whether there was anything wrong in the letter. I didn't care about the scenery along the way, and I was in a bit of a hurry.
After getting out of the car, after paying the car money, Chu Feng saw from afar that the door of Fan's calligraphy and painting shop had just opened, and a servant walked out of the door with a bucket and a sweat towel, so he walked up a few steps quickly and asked, "Can your owner get up?" ”
The little servant was thirteen or fourteen years old, and was stunned by Chu Feng's question, and replied, "Our host went out to socialize last night and didn't return home. What's the matter with this guest officer? ”
"Uh......" Chu Fengsi said, "Someone from your store sent a letter to South Vermilion Bird Street last night?" ”
The little servant scratched his head and smiled shyly: "The guest officer is really sorry, the little one was not here yesterday, and I don't know much about this matter...... You are, what's the matter? The little one helps you through? ”
Chu Feng nodded: "Yes, I don't know if Shopkeeper Zhao is here?" Zhao shopkeeper from Hangzhou. ”
"Ahh You're the new Mr. Hajbon! The little servant slammed his head, "Look at my stupidity, I almost forgot about it." Our host arranged it yesterday, saying that there would be a new Mr. Chaofeng from Hangzhou. The small one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, but he didn't expect the new pilgrimage to be so young. Oh! Oh! I'm going to call Shopkeeper Zhao! ”
After all, the little servant was quite fast, and ran in with a smoke.
Chu Feng had nothing to do for a while, so he had to go in and wait.
At this time, there were no guests in the entire calligraphy and painting shop, only a few servants who were sweeping the court.
The sound of birds outside the door, and the early morning sun slanted in, showing a sense of serenity and tranquility.
The little guys in the shop looked at Chu Feng curiously, but they all saw the response of the little servant at the door and Chu Feng, and they all guessed his origin.
I heard the proprietor and the shopkeeper say that a Mr. Chaofeng was invited from Hangzhou City, and it seems that he has helped a lot on the way together, and there are some means...... It's just that he is such a young boy?
Chu Feng saw their gaze and smiled slightly, not caring about it.
As soon as he entered the door, his eyes were attracted by a painting scroll more than ten feet long, and his heart was suddenly shocked. Hurriedly walked up a few steps forward and took a closer look, the upper right corner of the landscape painting scroll of more than ten feet. Sure enough, it was written with the words "Yunshan Qiuji".
Chu Feng only felt that his heart was beating suddenly, his feet were cold, and he was almost unable to help himself with excitement. In front of him was Fan Kuan's "Autumn Ji Picture of Cloud Mountain"!
This painting has long been no genuine in later generations, only a facsimile has been handed down, but even if it is a facsimile, it is already a national treasure. Such an heirloom. I inadvertently rushed to my own eyes!
Chu Feng was excited, and his eyes moved away. He only stared at the painting to take a closer look, the layout, the style, the brushwork, and the coloring...... This painting was hanging in the air, Chu Feng could only raise his head to look at it, and then he stepped forward and almost pasted it, it was not enough, and he couldn't wait to hold a magnifying glass to study it at all.
"Uh...... Chu Langjun? Ahem-Chu! Man! Monarch! ”
The sudden thunderous sound in his ears startled Chu Feng. His body trembled before he came back to his senses. turned his head to look, it turned out to be the shopkeeper Zhao.
Seeing that Chu Feng had finally reacted, Shopkeeper Zhao couldn't help but smile bitterly, reached out and pinched his throat, and said in a hoarse voice: "I said Chu Langjun, I have long heard my lady say that you are extremely obsessed with Danqing, but I didn't expect it to have reached such a level...... I shouted so loudly that I didn't hear it! ”
Chu Feng was slightly stunned when he heard this. Scratching his head in embarrassment, he saluted the shopkeeper Zhao: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I'm so sorry. As soon as I saw this "Autumn Ji Picture of Cloud Mountain", I was a little stupid, I didn't expect to see such a famous painting early in the morning, and I was a little surprised and a little difficult to hold back. ”
Shopkeeper Zhao said with a smile: "Chu Langjun is a real person who understands and loves painting, and I probably know a little bit about this mood." However, Chu Langjun doesn't have to worry, this "Yunshan Autumn Ji Picture" has been hanging in our store for seventeen years, and it will naturally continue to hang in the future. Chu Langjun even wanted to study it carefully. There's no need to rush either, haha! ”
Chu Feng's smile showed a little shyness: "Shopkeeper Zhao made fun of me." ”
"Haha! It's not a joke. It's just that Chu Langjun's demeanor reminds me of what happened when my wife was a child. She also used to look at this painting for a whole day, and at that time there was no food or drink, and the owner did not know how much worry he had made about it. Shopkeeper Zhao smiled. Yes, I heard the servant say that Chu Langjun seems to have something important? ”
"Ahh Look at my memory! Chu Feng was stunned, and hurriedly took out the letter in his arms, and handed it to Shopkeeper Zhao with both hands, "This letter is very urgent, it will be mailed to Liu Zhengping and Liu Fushi in Hangzhou, I wonder if Shopkeeper Zhao can help?" ”
"I see, it's not a big deal." Shopkeeper Zhao took the letter with both hands, and asked the servant beside him, "When did Qi Da come back?" ”
"I came back the day before yesterday."
Shopkeeper Zhao nodded: "Okay, you call him, I will tell him to run." ”
The servant took the command.
Shopkeeper Zhao said to Chu Feng: "This Qi Da is a person in the shop, a good rider, and she relies on her to transmit letters between each other in the store." From Tokyo to Hangzhou, it was only four or five days. If Chu Langjun is very anxious, he can also let her go through the starry night......"
"It's not as urgent as 100,000, four or five days are good." Chu Feng hurriedly thanked him, and said, "It's just that I troubled this big brother Qi, and I also asked Shopkeeper Zhao to help me say that I will invite him to drink another day." ”
When Shopkeeper Zhao heard this, he showed a very peculiar smile. He patted Chu Feng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Qi Nature will come over in a while, you can just say this to your face." ”
Chu Feng didn't understand Shopkeeper Zhao's expression a little, so he could only respond simply at this time.
After nothing happened for a while, Shopkeeper Zhao led Chu Feng around the storefront, pointed to a few small people who were cleaning to get acquainted with Chu Feng, and talked about the layout of the store and the proportions of all kinds of attention.
"Our owner is easy-going, and there aren't many rules in the store. This is also a two-entry courtyard, and I'll take you around in a while. The treasury is in the west wing, and the account office is also there. Ordinary meals are also in the inner courtyard, but there are a few good wine shops and tea houses opposite, if Chu Langjun wants to go to the tooth sacrifice, just tell those few bookkeepers, they are all the accounts of our calligraphy and painting shop, and it is convenient to settle the silver every month...... Well, at noon, I took Chu Langjun to take a trip, which can be regarded as recognition...... Oh, I'll talk about it later, Qi Da is here. ”
Shopkeeper Zhao smiled secretly and raised his chin at a figure walking in the store.
The figure was initially against the sunlight, and the face could not be seen clearly, and only a tall figure was very eye-catching. He was dressed in a short and simple and neat bun, and his hair was combed into a neat bun at the top of his head. The belt around the waist is tightly tied, outlining a prominent waist.
It's just that for some reason, Chu Feng looked at that figure and always felt that something was strange......
The person on the other side gradually approached, and his eyebrows and faces slowly became clear from the sunlight into the shadows.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, you call me?"
When the man spoke, it was a female voice.
Chu Feng was shocked and looked at it carefully. Only then did I find out that this rider, known as "Qi Da", turned out to be a young girl in her early twenties!
And this woman doesn't seem to be of pure Han blood, her eyes have a faint layer of blue, and the bridge of her nose is extraordinarily petite and straight. She is also much taller than the average woman...... People in this era are generally not tall, the average height of men is only around 1.7 meters, and women, especially the women in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, are generally less than 1.6 meters, which can be described as petite and exquisite.
But on the other side, Chu Feng was embarrassed to find that the other party's height seemed to be a little taller than himself...... Chu Feng touched his nose, thinking that although he was not tall, he was also 1.76 meters, and the girl in front of him was simply the figure of a model in the future.
At my age...... Uh, how can you grow a little taller?
Chu Feng thought hospily.
"Hehe, let me introduce you, this is the new Chu Chaofeng in our store." Shopkeeper Zhao introduced with a smile.
"Chu Chaofeng."
The tall woman Shi Li is not similar to the ordinary daughter's family, at this time, she actually hugged her fist at Chu Feng, and her actions were neat, Chu Feng stood one step away from her, and she could feel her fist style.
"This is Qi Da." Shopkeeper Zhao looked at Chu Feng and smiled to see the expression on Feng's face, "The daily exchanges of our stores rely on her." ”
The woman clenched her fists and bowed her head, but a pair of energetic eyes came up to the stage slightly, staring at Chu Feng's face.
Seeing this, Chu Feng had no choice but to learn from the other party to hold his fists, thinking that it seemed a little rude to call "Qi Da" directly, but it seemed even more difficult to call "Qi Da Sister...... So I had no choice but to smile and say: "In Xia Chufeng, just call my name by Qi Niangzi." ”
"Don't dare." There was no superfluous expression on Qi Da's face, "I am not a lady in the next place, I can't afford it, Chu Chaofeng called me 'Qi Da'." ”
Seeing that the situation was gradually going down an embarrassing path, Shopkeeper Zhao hurriedly came out to play a round, smiled and handed Chu Feng's letter to Qi Da, and instructed: "This letter should be sent to Liu Zhengping and Liu Fushi in Hangzhou Mansion, the matter is urgent, and it must not be delayed." There are no other instructions in the store, so you can stop by the Dongjiafu to have a look and see if there is anything you need to bring with you. Alright, let's go. (To be continued.) )
