Chapter 2 It is not easy to live in a big country
readx;? Zhang Jiashi who entered Xianyang City only had three feelings:
The first point is that the streets of Xianyang are very clean, and they are not at all like the dirty and messy cities of later generations. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Zhang Jiashi was puzzled by this, because he saw other cities, including Rongyang in Sanchuan County, which did not give him a sense of neatness.
But Huan Su explained in a whisper: "My lord, if you throw things in Xianyang, as long as you are seen by the guards patrolling the city, it is estimated that there will be no good end." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Jiashi raised his eyebrows, and then said, "Will there be a dead person?"
"Not at all, but there will be serious penalties. Huan Su continued in a low voice: "My lord, the fine is very heavy, if this matter is caught by the guards patrolling the city, it is estimated that two or three hundred and a half yuan will not be a problem." ”
Zhang Jiashi nodded a little blankly, he didn't expect that the city defense captain of Xianyang City was also the existence of urban management and environmental protection coordinators.
(In fact, compared to the six Kwantung countries at that time, the Qin State, which was slandered as a tiger and wolf and was vulgar, already had its own set of environmental sanitation treatment plans.) Therefore, compared with such slander, the Qin State, which carried out the most radical changes, in many senses, has left behind the six Kwantung countries, which regarded themselves as civilized at that time. )
The second point is that although the buildings in Xianyang City are crowded, they are quite well organized, and this kind of planning is very unexpected by Zhang Jiashi.
And Ying Yuelian said very proudly: "Hmph, the soil bun has seen it, right?"
"What if there is not enough space and we want to expand? Tear down all the city walls?" Zhang Jiashi expressed his doubts.
"It's very simple, just tear down the wall that needs to be extended, and we won't be stingy with this kind of money. When everything is planned again, we will build a new wall. Ying Yuelian seemed to remember something, and continued: "Xianyang City during the period of ancestor filial piety was very small, and it was less than half of what it is now. Over the past few hundred years, Xianyang City has been expanded many times, especially during the reign of his father, Xianyang has been expanded many times. It's impossible to do something like tearing down the entire city wall to expand. If you do this, it is estimated that we in Daqin will not have to do anything for many times, and those who are laboring will simply repair the city wall. “
Zhang Jiashi nodded, indicating that he was indeed different. But it's hard to avoid it. In the years when Zhang Jiashi lived, except for some scenic spots where you can still see the city wall, everything else was demolished and cleaned decades ago.
As for the third point?
That is, there are many officials in Xianyang City, like that kind of middle-level official, after he entered Xianyang City, almost every distance he walked, he could see one.
This is not to say that redundant officials have begun to appear in Great Qin, but in Xianyang City, which is the capital of the Great Qin Empire, such a situation is inevitable. After all, under normal circumstances, the rank of Beijing officials is higher than that of officials who are released. Although Daqin does not have any setting that emphasizes literature over military force. But one thing that will inevitably arise is that there are clear rules on the remuneration of officials.
2,000 stones, rank ratio to 2,000 stones, such a salary division has become a proof of an official's status.
It can be said that there are advantages and disadvantages to the level of official positions that are demarcated from the positions of later generations.
......
Xianyang City is so big that Zhang Jiashi had to let a few "land snakes" from Xianyang City lead the way. Of course, Huan Su and the others were very righteous and did not go home first, but helped Zhang Jiashi and others find a short-term place to stay, a large tavern with accommodation business, and only after settling down did they go home.
And Gonggong Xi had already left and returned to the palace after they entered Xianyang. Of course, Zhang Jiashi didn't understand why Ying Yuelian didn't return to the palace at this time.
He didn't ask, because he also guessed that Ying Yuelian didn't seem to want to go back to Xianyang Palace. At least, that's how it looks for now.
The number of people in the team was much smaller, but Xiao He whispered a question that Zhang Jiashi had prepared for to be honest, that is, the cost of accommodation under this premise not only did not decrease, but also increased compared to usual.
Zhang Jiashi muttered: "Chang'an paper is expensive, and it is not easy to live in a big place...... Just get used to it. ”
Looking at Xiao He's puzzled eyes, Zhang Jiashi just said lightly: "Everything is still arranged by Mr. Xiao." ”
"This ...... Yes, sir. Looking at Zhang Jiashi, who directly became the shopkeeper, Xiao He could only take care of things. Well, anyway, for him, he's used to it.
After all, after Zhang Jiashi poached him, the chores in the team were basically taken care of by him and Wang Ling Cao Shen. And Xiahou Ying became the head of the carriage driver in the team.
Of course, except for a few carriages, the other carriages can be regarded as Zhang Jiashi's private property.
Of these carriages, two were bought by Zhang Jiashi and given to Xiahou Ying for Xiahou Ying's family to ride. And Chen Ping also has a carriage given to him by his father-in-law. Of course, this carriage was used to pick up Chen Ping's wife, Zhang.
Other carriages...... Although it is said that it belongs to Zhang Jiashi, in fact, these carriages were matched by the Yu family to Zhang Jiashi. Several carriages and coachmen rented from Pei County and Huaiyin County have been sent home by Zhang Jiashi.
Therefore, Xiao He knows very well that Zhang Jiashi is now a person with a small family business. Since the boss just left it alone, what else can he do as a housekeeper?
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
"Your Majesty, I want to see my father-in-law. "A Zhonglang on duty today reported to Yingzheng.
Ying Zheng, who was holding a carving knife, looked at this Zhonglang through the bead curtain crown on his head, and said with an expressionless face: "Let him come in." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
After a while, Gonggong Xi walked to the distance of ten meters in front of Yingzheng, who was sitting behind a desk and dealing with official business, and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I want to return my life to you." ”
"Hmm. Great work. Ying Zheng didn't stop what he was doing, but continued: "Get up, is she back from that bastard girl?"
"This ...... Your Majesty, Princess Lian, she is still with Zhang Zhonglang. Father-in-law Xi did not stand up, but lowered his head and said this.
"Hmph! This girl actually knows that I will be angry! She didn't say goodbye in the first place, didn't she know that I was angry?" After Ying Zheng said this, he threw the carving knife in his hand on the table: "Hey, you find that bastard girl for me, and tell her that if I can't see her at dinner, she won't have to come back! I don't have this bastard daughter!!"
"Yes! Your Majesty. He stood up and walked backwards toward the temple gate.
"Wait!" Ying Zheng called out to his father-in-law coldly.
"What else does Your Majesty command?" Father-in-law Xi lowered his head and asked his king respectfully.
"Hmm...... You bring twenty gold, give it to the kid, and let him hang out in the inn for the time being. Ying Zheng picked up the carving knife, and after a pause, he said, "That's it." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Father-in-law Xi left this palace, and he had to smile bitterly. In addition, he wondered why the emperor he served had the following arrangements. However, this matter has not yet been asked by him. All he has to do is do any errand, it's as simple as that.
......
Of course, Ying Yuelian didn't know that Ying Zheng would lose his temper for her, and she was frowning now.
The white wolf lay on the other side of the table and yawned, while Qi Ji and Yu Miaoyi looked at the worried partner suspiciously.
Although their relationship is not as good as that of little Lori Qi Huan'er. But they are also not people with deep hatred for each other.
So, after Qi Ji and Ying Yuelian glanced at each other, Qi Ji said, "Why is Miss Ying worried?"
"I'm worried about being scolded by my father. Ying Yuelian said a sentence very simply, revealing her identity that she had been hiding all along.
"Father?!" both of them covered their small mouths and looked at Ying Yuelian in surprise.
Although both of them were prepared, Ying Yuelian's identity was at least the Great Qin Sect...... However, they never thought that Ying Yuelian was actually the princess of Daqin.
Therefore, the two simply did not say a word.
Except for Qi Huan'er eating deliciously, the three people at this table did not have any appetite.
At the other table, Zhang Jiashi looked at Xiao He with a bitter face: "Mr. Xiao, are you saying that we should sell a house in Xianyang?"
"My lord, this is a must. We are in the inn, after all, it is not a serious matter. In the long run, buying a house in Xianyang or nearby is the right thing to save money in the long run. After Xiao He said this, he looked at Zhang Jiashi and waited for Zhang Jiashi's decision.
Xiao He is right, Zhang Jiashi's current guest house is obviously not a money-saving plan. After all, Zhang Jiashi's team is now less crowded, but the prices in Xianyang are higher than in other places, and Xiao He knows very well that in this case, it won't take long for Zhang Jiashi to go bankrupt.
And Zhang Jiashi looked at Chen Ping: "Mr. Chen, what do you think?"
"Brother Xiao's words are very reasonable. Ping Plagiarism thinks that the adult should handle this matter as soon as possible. After Chen Ping said that he agreed with Xiao He's opinion, he added: "In addition, my lord, Ping thinks that ordinary houses may not be enough to meet the needs of adults. The adults are moving to the house this time, and we should also temporarily live in the adults' mansions. ”
Chen Ping's implication is, my lord, it looks like you have to buy a big house. Because those of us who eat with you still have to live with you for the time being. So the house, the room, and the size should be a little bigger.
Zhang Jiashi nodded, of course he knew the meaning of Chen Ping's words, but compared to this, he didn't know how high the housing prices in Xianyang were. In the end, he could only say, "Well, two gentlemen, let's go out into the streets together tomorrow to find a target." ”
Xiao He and the others nodded after glancing at each other.
And at this time, Zhang Jiashi saw Ruan Weng Shao walking up with his father-in-law. Zhang Jiashi hurriedly stood up, walked up to Grandpa Xi, and asked, "Grandpa Xi, is this?"
Father-in-law Xi did not answer, but pulled Zhang Jiashi's sleeve and whispered on the side: "Her Royal Highness the princess has not returned to the palace, Your Majesty is furious, if Zhang Zhonglang sees that things are not good, I hope to help Xi and persuade the princess to one or two." In addition, His Majesty asked Xi to bring twenty gold to Zhang Zhonglang as the capital of the Panhuan Inn. ”
Zhang Jiashi was stunned for a moment, and then saw a large box in Ruan Weng Shao's hand.
And Gonggong Xi didn't say anything, but after looking for it in this hall, he saw Ying Yuelian in military uniform and walked over quickly.
What the two said, Zhang Jiashi was not interested. But looking at Ying Yuelian's reluctant look, Zhang Jiashi didn't plan to help the bitter father-in-law.
However, Ying Yuelian still stood up with a reluctant face. It's just that when she saw Zhang Jiashi, she walked directly to Zhang Jiashi and said, "Can you talk to me?"
Zhang Jiashi nodded.
......
The two people walking on the street slowly walked towards the north of Xianyang.
"Your Majesty won't be really angry, you should know very well that if Your Majesty is really angry, it is estimated that you will be arrested and returned to Xianyang in Wanxian. Zhang Jiashi said this.
"I know that my father loves me the most except for Sister Xi. Ying Yuelian said something that made Zhang Jiashi a little stunned.
"In that case, what are you worried about?" Zhang Jiashi didn't understand Ying Yuelian's own thoughts.
But Ying Yuelian didn't answer, but walked forward for a distance, and then said a sentence: "surnamed Zhang, in your eyes, what kind of person am I?"
"If I say that you are the princess of Daqin, I guess I will be pinched by you. Zhang Jiashi showed a smile: "To be honest, I don't know what you are in my heart." But you are not a princess in my eyes, maybe...... It's more like a friend. ”
Friends?
Ying Yuelian turned his back to Zhang Jiashi, turned his head slowly, and looked at Zhang Jiashi who kept coming over without saying a word.
"What's wrong?" asked Zhang Jiashi suspiciously.
"It's nothing, let me ask you something, what would you do if I was promised by my father to someone else? Would you feel happy?" Ying Yuelian suddenly said this question that made it difficult for Zhang Jiashi to answer.
After being silent for a while, Zhang Jiashi looked at Ying Yuelian's smart eyes and said, "I don't know what I will do." But I'm not going to be happy. Because we're friends. Of course, if that person is something you like, I'll bless you. ”
"Really?" Ying Yuelian blushed slightly, then stretched out his hand and hugged Zhang Jiashi directly: "Kiss me." ”
"This ......" Zhang Jiashi didn't know what to do, but after watching Ying Yuelian slowly close his eyes, he kissed it gently......
The people who were going to leave still left, but Zhang Jiashi looked at the few people who followed him angrily, and now they were people looking at the sky and the earth everywhere, shaking their heads and smiling bitterly.
............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................
In a side hall of Xianyang Palace in the evening, Yingzheng ate slowly, and then looked at a note. And at this moment a soft footstep sounded in front of him.
"You bastard girl, are you willing to come back?hmm?Did you find someone you like outside and forget about me?" Although Ying Zheng's words were a bit big, in his words, he could hear the other party's doting words.
"Father, how could Lian'er be like this? Lian'er still plans to never marry for the rest of her life, and become the daughter of her father. "This person is Ying Yuelian who has put on his own silk palace clothes. If Zhang Jiashi saw Ying Yuelian's current appearance, he would definitely say a sentence directly:
"Who are you?"
Of course, this means that Ying Yuelian's current temperament is too far from her before.
"Nonsense! How can a girl never marry in her life?" Ying Zheng raised his head and showed a doting smile: "Come, come to me, I will see if you have lost weight in the past few months." ”
"Hmm. ”
Afterwards, Ying Yuelian sat next to Ying Zheng, who also put down the song and held Ying Yuelian's arm.
"Have you ever killed someone?" asked Ying Zheng suspiciously.
"Yes, Father, I have encountered a lot of things because of this trip. Ying Yuelian told Ying Zheng about her experience in the past few months.
And Ying Zheng except for the occasional plan to win Yuelian's words, he slowly acted as a good father at other times, listening to his daughter's voice.
In fact, he could also understand these things in some of the notes. Although it is not as detailed as what Ying Yuelian said, who is Yingzheng? Therefore, many of these words are just heard in his heart.
After Ying Yuelian finished speaking, Ying Zheng smiled: "Lian'er, do you care about the person named Zhang Jiashi?"
"Hmm...... No, that guy is so distracted! Lian'er didn't care about that bastard!"
Looking at his beloved daughter, he pursed his mouth, but his face was slightly red, Ying Zheng couldn't help but have a prank thought:
"In that case, someone is coming!" Ying Zheng pretended to shout outside, and after a while, in Ying Yuelian's puzzled eyes, a Zhonglang walked in.
But before he could salute Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng said a sentence: "Arrest that Zhang Jiashi and put it in Tingwei Prison......"
"Ah, Father, don't!" Ying Yuelian exclaimed.
"Then you still say that you don't care about him?" Ying Zheng scratched the tip of Ying Yuelian's nose, then looked at the Zhonglang, and said in a cold tone: "It's okay, you continue to be on duty." ”
"Yes! Your Majesty. Although this Zhonglang didn't understand what was going on, he hugged his fist to Yingzheng and left the side hall backwards.
And Ying Yuelian, who came back to his senses, pouted in shame: "Father bullies people." Lian'er ignores you!"
"Hahahaha. Ying Zheng laughed, and then said, "Give your father a beating on the shoulder." ”
"Oh. Ying Yuelian walked behind Ying Zheng very obediently, and then gave Ying Zheng a light slap on the shoulder.
......
Of course, Zhang Jiashi didn't know about the scene of father and daughter filial piety staged in Xianyang Palace, and he didn't know that this emperor of the ages almost became a faint monarch and arrested him in Tingwei Prison.
He was now looking at Xiao He and the others, and said with a bitter face: "This ...... What exactly is Your Majesty's plan?"
Xiao He, Cao Shen, Wang Ling, Chen Ping, Han Xin, and a few other people who came over to eat did not speak, but left Zhang Jiashi's eyes after glancing at each other.
The distressed Zhang Jiashi sighed, and he didn't complain about Xiao Hehe, because there was obviously only one result in this matter, and it was useless to say more. He knew that he would have to stay in this place before he could get Yingzheng's next instructions......
