Chapter VII Down-and-Out County Order
"Brother Shan, if we get the identity of a big official, dare not open the door to see that stinky catcher?" After 6 Haoshan asked to open the city gate to no avail, the two had to return along the official road, ready to find an inn to deal with the night, and then enter Yangzhou City tomorrow.
I have to say that this kid has entered the role very quickly, in his mind, he has already regarded 6 Haoshan as a master, and he has changed his submissive appearance in Huatian Village on weekdays, and he has spoken and acted like a bit of a bad slave of a large family.
6 Haoshan couldn't help but smile, the different positions of a person, looking at the world is also different, in Liu Jinzhu's eyes, a lifting person, not to mention in Huatian Village, even in Qiyang County, that is also a well-known figure, can not afford to save zài, but in a prosperous city like Yangzhou, princes and nobles, famous families gathered, not to mention a small lifting person, that is, the Yongzhou Mansion Yin came, and he had to be a man with his tail between his legs.
"Forget it, they're just small characters, they can't speak at all, didn't you listen to him, unless there is an urgent military order, no one will open the city gate when they come, what do you care about them?" 6 After Haoshan finished speaking, he quickly smiled and said: "But it's not bad to get an official to do it, at least, we don't have to live in this kind of small shop, we can live in the post station set up by the government." ”
In all dynasties, the people in power attached great importance to the construction of the post station, because the connection between the capital and the locality, and the emperor's decree had to pass the guò post station to all parts of the country, and the quality of the post station really affected the imperial court's control over the place, in addition, foreign envoys, local inspection officials and others could also go to the post station to rest, but there was one point, that was only the public servants had the right to live, and the post station could not live.6 Haoshan and Liu Jinzhu could only live in a small hotel opened by merchants next to the post station.
Liu Jinzhu's eyes lit up, and he immediately said excitedly: "Brother Shan, you are so experienced, it is better to get an official body, anyway, your skills are so powerful, no one can see it." ”
Now Liu Jinzhu can admire 6 Haoshan to the ground, in his eyes, 6 Haoshan is simply omnipotent, first quietly killed the enemy, and then he made a fake and real road, when he walked from Huatian Village, he made a large amount of money and silver on Li Xiangcai, the two traveled all the way to the mountains and waters, eating and drinking spicy, it can be said that it is very moisturizing, for Liu Jinzhu, it is to die now, this life is worth it.
6 Haoshan shook his head and said: "Some things are easier said and done, just like a straw bun, if you don't seek knowledge and don't study, even if you wear gold and silver, you still can't change the nature of his tyranny, an old farmer who can only farm, will never have the momentum of the superior, in fact, there are three different levels of cheating, Jin Zhu, do you know which three levels?" ”
"I don't know" Liu Jinzhu shook his head honestly, and then said curiously: "Brother Shan, what are the three levels, you tell me about it." ”
"The shape is similar, the god is similar, the heart is similar, the shape is like a handiwork, the appearance is similar, you can only coax those who have no knowledge, at this time you need to be assisted by tongue and tongue; It seems that the handicraft has reached the realm of perfection, and even people with insight and appreciation can not distinguish it lightly, and at this time, it only takes a few words or expressions to make people believe that it is true. ”
After a pause, 6 Haoshan continued: "As for the third level, it is the category of more manual, using psychological and environmental packaging to affect a person's perception, forget it, this is too profound, let me give you a simple example, for example, the county lord of Qiyang County led a person to tell you, this person is his boss, Lord Zhizhou, then do you believe it or not?" Believe it, because the person who introduced you is Zhixian, you have the impression that he will not tell a lie, and besides, you don't know Zhizhou at all, or a calligrapher everyone praises a person's words, although you think he writes in general, but you subconsciously still think he is right; A person is freshly dressed and a horse, calling a slave and drinking a maid, your first feeling is that he will not be simple, when a person fakes to this realm, it can only be described as unguardable. ”
Liu Jinzhu suddenly realized: "Oh, I see, Brother Shan has never pretended to be an official, it turns out that this is the case, we don't have official uniforms, and we don't have guards, so it's not like pretending to be, but it arouses suspicion, right?" ”
"It's good to understand" 6 Haoshan said confidently: "The official uniform and official seal, as long as there is a physical reference, although it takes a little time, it is not difficult to make, that is, your kid can't get on the stage, and he will be exposed as soon as he opens his mouth." ”
"Brother Shan, you are so powerful, you can even do official seals." Liu Jinzhu said with a look of admiration.
"Alright, let's go." 6 Haoshan was speechless to Liu Jinzhu, who looked like a nymphomaniac, and he didn't bother to explain so much.
The power and status in the world are built on the basis of strength, who has the gun who has the power to make rules, as long as the layer of carefully wrapped sacred clothes is removed, the official uniform is a slightly more complicated clothes, and the official seal, in the eyes of 6 Haoshan, is just a handicraft, to be careful is the process is complex, there are a lot of secret marks of the artwork, such as weight, size, size, image, etc., have extremely strict requirements, these only the best craftsmen can cast, in feudal society, This kind of craftsman is monopolized by the imperial court, and it is clothed in a sacred coat, so no one dares to fake.
However, when 6 Haoshan reached this era, it was difficult to say.
The two of them talked while riding horses, and it didn't take long to come to an inn called Changfeng, and after knocking on the door to explain their intentions, the shopkeeper said with a look of embarrassment: "Two guest officers, I'm really sorry, this store is full now." ”
This is a somewhat dilapidated shop, the door paint is falling, the color of the word "Changfeng" on the plaque is also lighter, there are two lanterns hanging at the door swaying back and forth in the night breeze, the door has been closed just after dark, and it looks a little lonely in the wilderness, it is the smile of the shop's little two, with two points of vigilance in hypocrisy, just open the small half of the door and poke his head out, for fear that the two of them will rush in and plot wrong.
It seems that Luo Huayi, which was opened by more than ten zhang foreign government offices, could not give him enough security.
"Isn't there one? My son-in-law is a man, so you have to get out of one anyway. "Liu Jinzhu is pulling the tiger's skin again.
This is estimated to have an effect in Qiyang County, but when it comes to Yangzhou, the effect is greatly discounted, and the shopkeeper's eyelids do not roll, and his face does not change and says: "It turned out to be a famous man, the villain is disrespectful, but all the rooms in the store are full, and even the small room where the villain sleeps on weekdays is cleaned up for the guests to stay, there is really no room, please forgive me." ”
6 Haoshan said in surprise: "What's new in this Yangzhou, why are there so many people?" ”
Speaking of new things, the shopkeeper had more than two points of brilliance in his eyes, and said happily: "Childe is a foreigner, in three days, there will be a thin horse auction in Yangzhou's ** guild, and the best ten Yangzhou thin horses will be selected from each building and courtyard for public auction. ”
From the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, in the Yangzhou area, there were a large number of young women who had undergone special training and were ready to marry rich merchants as concubines, and these women were thin and beautiful, all slender and thin, so they were called "Yangzhou thin horses", at that time, Yangzhou salt merchants monopolized the salt transportation industry in the country, and one by one they were rich in the world, so Yangzhou "raised thin horses" was the most prosperous.
This Ming Dynasty is really a kind of pathology, the front line and the Houjin fight can not be decomposed, Shaanxi has not rained all year round, there are countless hungry people, the people in many places eat the grass roots and eat the bark, eat the bark and eat the soil, stones and even cannibalism, the army drags the salary, but in these economic areas like Suzhou and Hangzhou, the wine is drunk, dancing and dancing, the sound of dogs and horses, the life is luxurious, and it is strange that the Ming Dynasty does not collapse.
"This brother, I hope you can think of a way, just have a place to live, pay the room fee, you know, it's a mess outside." 6 Haoshan said as he stuffed a silver bean into the hand of the shopkeeper.
Money can make ghosts grind, the shopkeeper got the silver beans, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said while opening the door of the store: "Two guest officers, please inside, it is convenient for others to be convenient for yourself, although the room is gone, but there is a firewood room, clean up the small one, and move a few benches to make do with it overnight." ”
Having a tile to cover your head is better than outside, at least there is a guarantee of safety, 6 Haoshan has no choice, and told the shopkeeper to take care of the horses, make do with something, and then follow the shopkeeper to the firewood house with Liu Jinzhu.
"Hey, how do you have a screen?" It's not strange to sleep in the firewood room, but it's strange that there is a dilapidated screen in the firewood room, which makes 6 Haoshan feel a little strange.
The shopkeeper hurriedly explained: "Childe, that's the case, there is a poor scholar, who was sick when he lived in the store, and the house money and meal expenses were owed for nearly a month, and our shopkeeper was kind-hearted, let him move to the firewood house, and give him some meals every day, which is strange to say, after his letter was sent, no relatives have brought money to redeem him for so long, forget it, don't talk about this, the villain is afraid of affecting the son, so he specially set up a screen, so out of sight and out of mind." ”
Liu Jinzhu's face was elongated, and he said unhappily: "Okay, you are a shopkeeper, my son-in-law is a man, and the meal money and room expenses are paid, you let him sleep in the firewood room, you still want my son-in-law to live in the same room with a sick seedling, or a firewood room, what do you mean?" ”
"No, no, you misunderstood, this disease is angina, it won't be passed on to people, otherwise we would have kicked him out a long time ago, if the son doesn't like it, the villain will carry him out."
"Forget it" 6 Haoshan waved his hand and said: "They are all people who read the books of sages, so why bother to fall into the well, so be it." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, or the son has a bodhisattva heart, and there is nothing to do, so the little one will retire first." ”
After the shopkeeper left, Liu Jinzhu changed his clothes and sat on the simple bed, smelling the unique smell of firewood in the firewood room, and said with some indignation: "Just this broken firewood room, you dare to charge us 200 yuan a night, this store is really dark." ”
"Forget it, there are many injustices in the world, and it's not uncommon for us to run into one or two times, let's sleep, and let's see the excitement tomorrow."
"Yes, Brother Shan, no, Childe."
Not long after the two of them lay down, suddenly a voice sounded in the firewood room: "Brother Tai Brother Tai"
A cool breeze blew, and it was a dark night, like a ghost screaming, Liu Jinzhu was so frightened that he shrank in the quilt, and said with a blue face: "Brother Shan, will this place be unclean?" ”
6 Haoshan was also startled at first, but quickly calmed down, patted Liu Jinzhu's head, and said angrily: "People don't have guts, what are you afraid of, get up quickly, it should be the scholar who is sleeping next to him, take the fire fold." ”
When the two of them took a candle to the other side of the screen, they were startled, and in the faint light of the fire, they saw a man with a square scarf on his head, wearing Confucian clothes, lying on a bed made of grass, his eyes were large and godless, his face was as pale as paper, and his breath was weak, probably because he had not taken a bath for some days, and there was a smell on his body.6 Haoshan couldn't help but cover his nose when he saw it, and just when he wanted to turn around and leave, the poor scholar with a pale face suddenly struggled and said:
"Don't go, 6 is not a beggar, I am the new Qipin County Commander."
