Chapter 108: An Investigation of Xizhou City (2)

Previous Chapter

Everyone should be glad that they live in an era where there is water, electricity, and everything.

Many people today may choose to throw away flies if they see them on their food, and this proportion will skyrocket if there are cockroaches crawling on their food.

However, in ancient times, not to mention cockroaches, dirty rats were a source of food for people in many cases, and life was hard, and the sanitary conditions were even worse. Many film and television dramas have filmed ancient times as a paradise, people walked on cement roads, sat in four-seater luxury carriages, and people on the street wore silk, and they were often in the wind and snow, and they were fighting poetry and wine.

As far as Tianwu knows, even the capital of previous dynasties, Chang'an, Luoyang, and Beijing are facing various health problems.

Sui built Chang'an City, after a long period of time the garbage and wastewater of the entire city were discharged out of the city, the long sewage erosion made the entire Weishui underground water system has been greatly polluted, although the water is colorless, but with a slight sour smell, the royal family and nobles do not dare to use these water.

In the latter part of every dynasty, especially in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the situation was even worse, and medieval Europe was a huge-urine field, and this was not the case in Beijing at the end of the 19th century.

In such a place, spend the moon before the moon, and fight wine in poetry? I have to say that the Yaxing of the ancients in the hearts of the screenwriters is really very high.

Tianwu doesn't know where he has gone, but it doesn't matter, no matter how big a city is, there will always be a time when he goes to the edge, and what he saw and heard along the way made him sigh in his heart, and deeply felt that it was difficult to build a big city, and it was even more difficult to govern.

Some of the uninhabited houses in the area have been abandoned and turned into dumps around the area, flooded by huge garbage heaps, and large green flies and white maggots crawl everywhere, so large that they can be seen from a distance.

What shocked him was that even this kind of place was actually a lot of people living in it, except for some homeless people and idiots, some of them seemed to be normal people at all, and they didn't dare to approach this kind of place, and they couldn't imagine how they usually ate.

The inhabitants of a big city are rich and poor, and the feudal era itself is rarely a time when the vast majority of people can eat enough, and now it is more coinciding with the turmoil of the Great Cloud Dynasty, and the king of Shanbei is also anxious here, and there are many people in the city who can't afford to eat.

As a result, there are a lot of very interesting and poignant foods on the streets.

Tianwu usually reads some miscellaneous books, and happened to read a book about the food of the people at the bottom of the old Beiping.

The "fruit skin" collected from the kiln of the restaurant theater, only one or two copper coins are grabbed at a large handful, the poor quality "half-empty" of fried goods such as melon seeds and millet seeds are turned upside down from the sieve eye, the animal offal collected everywhere, the meat of messy origin is boiled in a pot, and the "staring" of a chopstick and a copper coin, of course, these names are not applicable to Xizhou City, but Tianwu has indeed seen it here.

If it weren't for the extremely poor oil refining technology at this time, there would have been a way to eat "stewed oil residue".

A group of men who didn't know what kind of coolies they were doing sat hungrily together, staring at the cauldron full of ups and downs of various unknown sources of meat in front of them, and the smell of the whole country made Tianwu want to vomit.

"I'm afraid it's all about intestines and internal organs." In his shocked gaze, as a person screamed, several pairs of chopsticks quickly stretched out into the pot, quickly picking up something he didn't know and stuffing it into his mouth desperately, eating them one by one with relish.

I really should call Zhao Yanran and Zhou Shuixian, the two pampered eldest ladies, over to take a good look, what conditions do they have to wear beautiful clothes every day in MMP Village, and see how people live...... Is it a human life?

Tianwu was defeated and retreated, there is no shortage of people living at the bottom in every era and place, every population should have his due value, a full bite of food and a decent housing should be guaranteed.

In other words, if they didn't even have this value, it would be impossible for Tianwu to make them his subordinates and people.

"Get out of the way! Government affairs! ”

A large cacophony of voices was heard, and a group of soap-clothed servants fiercely broke into a house, and in the midst of the screams and cries inside, finally a woman who kept kicking and resisting was stuffed with sackcloth in her mouth and kidnapped, accompanied by their wild laughter and lewd expressions.

There are a lot of people in the neighborhood gathered here, but no one dares to say anything loudly when they point their fingers, and this group of arrogant and wanton servants sees that they are going farther and farther, and Tianwu pulls out their feet to chase after them.

When passing by these people who were constantly discussing, he could roughly understand what was going on, Ji Hou's people had indeed begun to search for Zhao Yanran in Xizhou City, and the state government actually controlled by the Gan family had sent many classes of officials to rummage around in the past two days.

It's just that these people are looking for someone to be fake, and it is true to take the opportunity to satisfy the desire for money, and the places they searched are full of mourning, and several families with beautiful or even slightly delicate daughters have fallen into bad luck.

"The 100-city league is coming, and it's a rare opportunity to practice actual combat." Tian Wu muttered to himself lightly and followed.

In a foul-smelling alley, this group of officials in their early teens began to undress with a lewd smile, and the woman who was covering her mouth screamed desperately with the voice of her throat, and was already pressed to the ground by two monkeys, and with her hysterical scream, the whole person suddenly stopped struggling, and a man who had not taken off his clothes was laughing and shaking his body.

Sincere......

A crossbow arrow flew out of nowhere, and the cheerful servant was laughing wildly at the show he had concocted, the tip of his head was pierced by the crossbow arrow, and the arrow with a metal tuft protruded bloodily from the back of his neck, and fell on the poor woman with a howl that was not like a human voice.

Tian Wu put a lot of weapons in the iron ring for safety reasons, there were two crossbows alone, and after shooting one at this time, he threw it into the ring, took out the other, and knocked down one of the thickest-looking ones with one arrow.

At this time, this group of officials were in the fire and undressed and undressed one by one, and they didn't have any weapons with them, and they even threw them to the ground.

It wasn't until Tianwu put away the second crossbow and rushed to him with a knife in both hands, and a string of bloody arrows shot towards the sky erupted in front of their eyes, and the third person was hacked to the ground, that they scattered in a hurry, not caring how much clothes they still had on them, some went to get sticks and some ran away.

Tianwu is not without roots in Xizhou City now, and he doesn't want to be an outlaw, since he has chosen to do it, it is naturally impossible for any of these people to let go.
