After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Yang gave up this idea for the time being, and the key point to be busy at the moment was that he had to arrive in the capital within ten days, the gathering place of the storm.
According to the previous information, Zhang Yang learned that the Six Gates and the Shenhou Mansion were both located in the capital, that is, Kaifeng Mansion in Henan, so no matter which force he wanted to join, he needed to rush here first. This is Luoyang, which is more than 170 kilometers away from Kaifeng, and the way to travel at this time is to go all the way east along the Yellow River in addition to cars and horses.
And this qiΔ requires money, of course, in today's words, it is called coiling.
"Liu Yuanwai? It seems that we have to go to Luoyang first. β
At this moment, the system appropriately sent a message about his identity arrangement.
"Name: Zhang Yang, Zi Wenyuan"
"Origin: Luoyang people's family"
"Age: 21 years old"
"Identity: An ordinary citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, with double parents, no relatives and no reason, working long hours outside for a living. A few months ago, he worked in Luoyang's home for several months, and although he had resigned, he had not yet been paid. β
"Zhao Yuanwai's arrears of wages totaled thirteen taels of silver, and there were two pieces of broken silver."
It's really sleepy and someone sends a pillow, after seeing this news, Zhang Yang's news about entanglement has also been settled, and it is obvious that the road arranged by the system is to let yourself "collect debts".
"Zhao Yuanwai, it looks like another Zhou pickpocket."
Zhang Yang shook his head and looked at this identity profile. Don't hesitate to reach the hottest time before it gets close to noon. Go to Luoyang City first and get your wages back. After that, go east to Kaifeng Mansion. Make further contact with the Six Gates and the Shenhou Mansion.
Casually grabbed a fellow and asked, Zhang Yang inquired about the road to Luoyang, and went all the way along the flat official road in the east, and the end point was Luoyang City. The distance in the middle was only an hour, Zhang Yang thought about it, and walked forward directly, not to mention riding a horse and a car, you have to have money.
Compared with being poor and white, you have to rely on some improper methods to grab money and make money. I am still quite satisfied with the identity of the system arrangement. Especially after seeing the fierce Cheng DΓΉ of the six doors of this world, Zhang Yang obviously noticed that in this world, similar to the six doors, the power of the yamen is obviously much stronger than in the novel.
An hour's journey is not long, but it is not short. By the time Zhang Yang felt a little thirsty, the people had already arrived at the foot of Luoyang City, and looking at it from a distance, the blue-black towering city wall was filled with a faint majesty. The officers and soldiers in armor could not stand the heat of the weather, and were guarding the city gate one by one, checking the passers-by.
It's just obvious that Zhang Yang looks poor and white. There was no oil and water, and the officers and soldiers had no intention of wasting much time, so after a rough inspection, they waved their hands and let them go. And Zhang Yang was in the deep three-fold city gate hole, and only then did he hear some news from the discussion of the people next to him.
"I heard. In the next few days, Lord Qincha from Kaifeng Mansion will come to Luoyang to inspect. If you usually have a city gate, where can you still check it? β
"What about patrols? Anyway, it has nothing to do with you and me, so don't talk too much when you go out. β
The person who was talking said a few words in a low voice, probably noticing Zhang Yang and the other people who were listening, and hurriedly left the place.
"Honcha-sama? It seems that they are going to the countryside to inspect, no wonder there are officers and soldiers to inspect it. Nodding thoughtfully, Zhang Yang suddenly opened up after passing through the last layer of the city gate.
Full of retro-style buildings, densely spread along the long street in front, people wearing linen clothes or cloth clothes rubbing shoulders on the street, as one of the ancient big cities, Luoyang's population is relatively concentrated, from the street population density can also be seen. There are a lot of small vendors selling things around, and there are also many restaurants, inns are open for business, and behind the seemingly prosperous scenes, Zhang Yang can still detect a faint smell of decay.
What was the situation during the reign of Song Huizong, Zhang Yang naturally knew it. During the reign of Huizong in history, he reused Cai Jing, Gao Yu, Tong Guan and other traitorous ministers, arrogant and lascivious, and successively broke out in Song Jiang and Fang La's uprising, coupled with the corruption of the imperial court, there was a Jin State eyeing the outside, which can be said to be internal and external troubles.
Song Jiang is naturally the Song Jiang in the Water Margin, Fang La is also the Fang La in the Water Margin, Cai Jing, and Gao Yu are still taking advantage of the situation to make money, such as the birth gang sent by the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi in the Water Margin, which is a fact. Cai Jing and others made the "Huashi Gang" in order to accumulate wealth, which made the people even more miserable. This was the result of a massive peasant uprising.
It's just that the Water Margin is mainly based on folklore, and it is fictional, and it does not represent the real history, and in this period, in addition to the Water Margin, there are also Wen Ruian's four famous catches who also lived at this time. Although the time and space are different, the guide zhì Water Margin and the four famous catches cannot appear at the same time, but at least Zhang Yang has a deeper understanding of the background of the current era.
Along the way, while looking at the situation of passers-by, Zhang Yang asked where Zhao Yuanwai's house was, and it could be seen that most of the people's faces were relatively numb, and their faces were sallow, and it was obvious that the situation was not very good. And those who do business are barely better, but Zhang Yang only walked two streets, and he saw the scene of officials smashing stalls twice, which is quite a bit of the mighty style of my big city management in later generations.
"Zhao Yuanwai? Turn left in front and go all the way to the end. An old woman pointed Zhang Yang out of the way, turned around and walked away.
Finally found it, Zhang Yang wiped a handful of sweat beads on his head, and walked straight to Zhao Yuanwai's house. Turning around a restaurant in front of you, you can see the end of the long street, which is a rather wide house, with two stone lions squatting at the door, the gate is closed, and it seems to be a little desolate.
"Anyone?"
Zhang Yang knocked on the door a few times, looked in through the crack in the door with his eyes, and soon a young man in a small coat walked over, opened the door, and said angrily: "Who is calling the door?" β
"This brother, please tell Zhao Yuanwai, I'm here to get my salary." Zhang Yang gave up his hands, trying to leave a good impression on the other party, but the young man rolled his eyes, glanced at Zhang Yang suspiciously, and said, "Do you want to be paid?" When did you do it here, and why have I never seen you? β
Zhang Yang thought about it, the identity of the system arrangement has been away for a few months, the other party may be new, and it is normal not to know him, so he immediately told his own situation.
"It's been a few months since you've been gone, and you still want to come back and get paid? Don't be a liar, right? You wait here, I'll ask the master. The young man still understood some reason, looked at it carefully, remembered his face, closed the door, spread his feet and ran to the backyard, Zhao Yuanwai was lying leisurely on the rocking chair in the patio to enjoy the shade.
In ancient times, the courtyard was surrounded by walls on all sides, and only a small part of the sky was exposed, which looked like a wellhead, so the courtyard was also called a patio.
Zhao Yuanwai is fifty years old, with half-white hair, and his son inherited his father's business and opened a garment shop, but he earned a little silver, and spent most of his life guarding the family business left by his father. It's rare that the sun is good today, so let the big girl move out of the bamboo chair and put it in the patio, leisurely and leisurely, it is simply comfortable.
It's just that when Zhao Yuanwai was wondering if he was looking for an excuse to put this likable big girl in the room, he was interrupted by the young man who was yelling, and couldn't help but reprimand: "Look at your virtue, you have to follow the rules when you have a big deal, don't shout when you have nothing to do!" β
The young man's eyes widened, and he said, "Master, a young student named Zhang Wenyuan came to the door just now, saying that he had worked in our Zhuangzi before, and he came to ask for money today!" β
When Zhao Yuanwai heard this, he thought of the name after a few turns in his heart, there was indeed this person in Zhuangzi, but he resigned and left a few months ago. At that time, the salary was deducted by himself, and it has been delayed until now, and it was originally intended to be delayed until the other party gave up, but today the other party came to the door again, and it seems that the person who came to the door is not good.
After a few glances of his eyes, Zhao Yuanwai made up his mind, that is, he would not admit it, anyway, people had been gone for several months, and he could always find an excuse not to pay the other party. immediately spoke: "What Zhang Wenyuan, Zhang Wuyuan, we have never heard of this person in Zhuangzi." Maybe it's an idler from somewhere to cheat and cheat, just drive it out! β
"That's right, then I'm going." The young man touched his big head, thinking that since the master said so, then you must be a guy who came to cheat and cheat, and just bumped into himself today, so it can only be regarded as your bad luck. Immediately turned around and went.
Zhang Yang was still waiting for news at the door, and suddenly saw the door open, and just as he was about to speak, he saw the young man from before with a black face, and without saying a word, he directly picked up the big fist of the casserole and hit Zhang Yang's head directly.
"Holy!"
Zhang Yang flashed sideways, and saw that the young man attacked again, but he didn't give him the slightest chance to ask, which made Zhang Yang feel a little clueless and a little annoyed. connected the things before and after, and guessed the truth of the matter with a little reasoning, I am afraid that the old bastard surnamed Zhao is ready to pay the bill.
"There is a way in heaven that you don't take, but there is no door to hell and you come. Old thing, if you don't clean up today, there will be no royal law in this world! β
Zhang Yang, who figured it out, no longer dodged left and right, but rushed directly towards the young man's fist!
