Chapter 341: Receiving
The rooster sang three times, and the old man Zhang got up from the bed, and there was just some light in the room, shining on the calendar on the bedside table, which read: Wednesday, March 28, 6, Xinhua 6.
He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"It's been six or seven years since the change of dynasty, and I still feel like I'm in a dream, why did I wake up and the Ming Dynasty perished?"
Old man Zhang slowly got dressed, pushed open the door, looked at the gradually lively street outside, he took a recently popular civilization stick behind the door, and walked out with a hat.
Someone greeted outside the door.
"Lao Zhang, is it early enough to get up today? Didn't you usually sleep until three o'clock in the morning? ”
The talk is a neighbor, an old man of about the same age, who just moved a few years ago, from not saying a word before, to now becoming a broken mouth, what the old man Zhang regrets the most is to take the initiative to help him get in touch and help him get familiar with the environment of Jingshi.
"You only sleep until three o'clock in the morning, I always get up early, okay, the children have to go to work, can't you make them some breakfast? How can it be like you, a lonely person, so old and still running to the eight alleys, not ashamed to panic? ”
"What's this, if you don't run, you won't live for a few years, take advantage of the good life now, don't hurry up and enjoy it, anyway, how can I, a lonely old man, live.
Let's go, a new breakfast shop has just opened on Front Street, and the taste of buns is very authentic, let's try it! ”
Old man Zhang shook his head, knowing that he was useless, he had been a neighbor for so many years, and he didn't know his character.
The two walked together, along the way the vendors came out, the street gradually became lively, every household has already gotten up, some make a bite at home, most people will choose to come out to buy some, after all, it is not trouble-free.
Seeing this scene, Old Man Zhang sighed with emotion: "I really can't believe that in just a few years, His Majesty Dulwich has managed this smoothly, where is it like the wind and rain swaying in the previous dynasty, and the people are hungry!" ”
The neighbor disagreed: "What do you feel about it, life has become better, then enjoy life, you are not like me, there are several children at home, and now they are all working in the government department, the work is not idle, there are rows of noodles, and the welfare is good."
Now our Xinhua Dynasty is the founding of the country, when Vientiane is renewed, all the spirit of Rao is on top, holding his breath, to improve the living standards of the people, you are good, the whole nostalgic old objects, sighing and annoying! ”
Old man Zhang said angrily: "I just feel that the speed of change is too fast, I remember that seven or eight years ago, the Tartars entered the Kou several times, and the dignitaries and nobles under them were scattered, and there were big cars lined up at the city gate, and the cars of the rich and noble, buy one after another and go out of the city."
The atmosphere, the whole people were panicked, I didn't expect that a few years later, it would calm down like this! ”
"Of course, you don't look at where our emperor started.
Unlike the previous dynasty, our Xinhua dynasty attaches great importance to force.
The status of the generals in each region is very high, and I heard that although the Dajin Kingdom in the northeast has been destroyed, the Broken Leaf City is still fighting, and it seems that the basement wants to include the entire Western Regions in the bag! The neighbor looked amazed.
Old man Zhang shook his head: "You don't know how to learn, you don't usually want to listen, do you know how far the Western Regions is from us?" Even if it is defeated, how can it rule, and what can you do if you waste money? In addition to the yellow sand is the loess, there are no people for thousands of miles, a country is not as many people as our county, and the poor and barren places don't know what to do with them, so why bother to fight down? ”
"The emperor naturally has his own considerations, so it's not something we can worry about!"
The two quarreled and came directly to the breakfast stall.
This newly opened is obviously much more standardized, and it is not a few tables on the side of the street at random, but a specially rented shop, which is not large, with only 4 tables placed inside, and a few sporadically placed outside, but at this time it is full of fragments.
Everyone's attention is focused on the TV on the wall, this thing is a new thing, it only appeared at the beginning of this year, I heard that if you want to buy it, you still need to meet some conditions!
As for the price, it's not expensive.
The owner of this breakfast stall obviously has some ability, and I don't know where to get a TV.
The screen hanging on the wall is reflecting the news of two people with serious faces.
According to Xinhua News Agency, the war in the South China Sea region is nearing its end, and the 20-nation alliance in South Asia has been completely defeated.
The Cabinet spokesman has declared that the war launched by the state this time is not an act of aggression, but to liberate the poor people, so that they can liberate themselves from high-intensity oppression and embrace a modern society......
The business sector has pledged to invest large sums of money in the import of human resources and women's resources......"
The news is one after another, some are national events, some are miscellaneous conversations of the people, and occasionally an interesting story is inserted, which makes everyone laugh.
Old man Zhang looked at the faces in the breakfast shop, and suddenly felt a little relieved in his heart.
He is older and has a more conservative lifestyle, so the current ruling system of the country is still a little incomprehensible, and I don't know why so many officials are suddenly needed after the previous yamen was changed to a government affairs hall.
I don't know what the community neighborhood committee that has just been formed recently is.
However, he could feel that life was indeed changing.
In the past, the high-ranking officials and nobles who could often be seen showing off their military might have disappeared without a trace, and everyone walked on the streets, drinking tea in the teahouse, and talking about the civil unrest in the northwest and the Tartars in the northeast, but work, family, children and how to live a better life.
The world seemed to be connected, and Jingshi once again became the center of the world, and there were a large number of outsiders coming and going, some of them from the South China Sea, some from the northwest, some from the southwest, and some from the northeast.
Their different kinds of discourse brought prosperity to the Jingshi economy and speech.
In Old Man Zhang's view, this is like a prosperous country.
The feeling he had for Emperor Dewei in his heart, because as long as he knew a little bit of history, he understood that as long as a dynasty came to an end, then it would be accompanied by a lot of chaos and war, as well as casualties.
If it weren't for Emperor Dewei's quick knife to cut through the chaos and recover the entire suppressed chaos in just a few years with absolute force, I am afraid that the blood shed on the land of China would be dozens of times more!
