Chapter 1035
Li Xiao did not have a ship military uniform today, but wore a green shirt and robe. This kind of clothing is a common attire for people in the capital, and the chance of going out to hit the shirt is absolutely terrifying.
There is no way to do it, although there is enough food and clothing in these years, but the art of clothing has not yet developed.
The clothes of ordinary people are still the same as they were decades ago. At most, there were originally only two clothes all year round, but now there are only six or seven clothes.
Although the clothes on his body have changed, his short hair cannot grow.
Fortunately, after more than ten years, there are more and more people with short hair in the capital. The ancient precept that the body is indestructible is collapsing little by little.
This is also something that can't be helped, after all, on a hot day, a large pile of hair on the head can heat a person to death.
After keeping your hair short, it's much more refreshing. Every morning, I wash my hair with a bucket of water, and I feel refreshed all morning.
Although short hair is not as warm as long hair in winter. But people are not monkeys, don't they know how to wear hats?
Li Xiao is still not used to wearing this thing, he is used to wearing military uniforms on weekdays, and this kind of thing always feels verbose.
In the eyes of the guards, the handsome's private visit to the micro-service is purely to find trouble. What he hates the most is this kind of micro-service private visit.
At this time, Junko is so busy that her feet don't touch the ground. Sometimes he wanted to change the whole street into a guard.
Li Xiao walked very slowly, which was the only good news for the guards. A mile away, a perimeter guard has already been set up.
When you encounter suspicious people, keep an eye on them. At the slightest move, they will be killed by bullets flying from nowhere.
The tree planted on the side of the road Li Xiao wants to see, and someone has a newly renovated lintel, Li Xiao also wants to see it.
Sun Yuanhua, who accompanied him, also picked the patent leather with his hands, which caused the dissatisfaction of the main family. However, seeing that Sun Yuanhua is old and looks extraordinary, he has never said anything too much.
"Mr. Sun, this is the lintel that the residents have repaired for their homes. It's all face-to-face things, who will cut corners here. Li Xiao shook his head helplessly.
After a long time in Xinjiapo, Sun Yuanhua is still a little uncomfortable when he returns to China.
"Huh! You don't know the owner, of course, this lintel is a face. Therefore, it naturally takes some effort to decorate.
But if this face can't be decorated well, then the family's family background, hehe......! ”
Li Xiao couldn't help but take a closer look at Sun Yuanhua, and sure enough, it was an old fritter that was oily.
From a little thing, you can see whether the family's family background is really solid.
"Start small, and the world becomes more real.
If you look at this family, it is obvious that the family has only improved in the last two years. Because the tree in front of his house has not yet grown, the tiles of his house are still new, and the lintel is newly painted.
Look down here, there's the old paint that's been covered. Come to think of it, two years ago it was still mottled.
And the owner of this house must have started to make a fortune two years ago, and the new house was flipped. ”
Li Xiao took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw that the primer covered under the patent leather was very old.
Unexpectedly, the old fox just glanced at the lintel of the house and cut off a piece of patent leather to see so many things.
"You're ......! It's you, come here! Sun Yuanhua pointed to a guy who looked like a steward.
"What do you have to do here?" The steward didn't dare to slack off when he saw Sun Yuanhua's appearance, and he had already developed a good eye as an errand boy in the capital.
The old man in front of him is not something that a five- or six-grade petty official can pretend.
"I always ask you, who is your master?"
"Back to your old words, my master is the head of the Ministry of Works." The steward nodded and said.
"The main book of the Ministry of Works is really a very oily errand. Let me ask you, did your master take office two years ago? ”
"Three years ago, my owner was originally in Gyeonggi Province to make up for it, and this house was bought and renovated two years ago."
"Three years ago! Yes, it is not easy for a master of the Ministry of Industry to buy such a house in the capital.
Let's go down! Sun Yuanhua waved his hand and turned to leave.
"Boss, you see it. A small master of the Ministry of Industry, in just one year, has the money to buy a house in the capital.
You say, a small master of the Ministry of Engineering. Not even an official, at most an official.
It's just such a thing, and you can live so moisturizing. You should know that the price of the house on the edge of the East Market is not cheap. It's far from being comparable to those places like the flyover!
So how much did the other officials of the Ministry of Industry get ......? ”
Li Xiao nodded, it seems that the old guy has done his homework beforehand.
"If the imperial court wants to handle these officials to rectify the rule of officials, I think the first thing to do is to start with these officials in charge of the project in the Ministry of Industry.
In recent years, the imperial court has demolished and rebuilt, and the Ministry of Industry is no longer spending money like running water, it is simply spending money like a waterfall.
All this money has been used to the cutting edge?
How much money has been turned into a house in the capital of these people. How much money do you have, and how much money have become these young ladies and aunts who wear gold and silver?
To catch! Let's catch it right here. ”
Sun Yuanhua looked at the green bricks and green tiles behind him and said to Li Xiao.
"It's a good idea to start with the Ministry of Industry and ....... Just do what you want, if anyone has any resistance, just let them come to me, and Mr. Sun will do his best. Li Xiao nodded, agreeing with Sun Yuanhua's suggestion.
"No!" Sun Yuanhua let out a long sigh of relief.
For many years, the Ministry of Industry was controlled by the Zheng family. When Zheng Zhilong was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.
Starting from the Ministry of Industry is on the surface, but behind the scenes, it is to do something to the Zheng family.
Li Xiao agreed, indicating that he allowed the Zheng family's power to be moved.
In recent years, the children of the Zheng family have really made trouble, and eight out of ten gentlemen in the capital are from the Zheng family.
Every day, they can do everything, but when it comes to making contributions, they are all sparse.
There is no way to do it, Lao Chen Fu is very good at governing the family. Most of the children in his family have entered the army, and they are not involved in the capital at all with the Zheng family.
Shi Kefa's family is a model of poetry and book heirlooms. The outstanding sons and nephews in the family were not sent to the Western Regions to work hard for qualifications. It is to make a contribution in a place where the young and the old are poor!
The last time Li Xiao inspected the Northwest Railway, on the most remote platform, he could still see the busy figure of the Shi family.
As for Sun Chengzong's family, it is even more rigorous. The children and nephews in the family who have no interest are all sent back to their hometown in Gaoyang, Hebei Province, and they are not allowed to leave when they are idle.
Those who have a good fortune either enter the ministry or enter the army. It is not touched at all by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry.
Zhang Huangyan's family has a lot of losers. There are eight of them in the Zheng family, and the remaining two must be in Zhang Huangyan's family.
However, the Zhang family has also kept a low profile recently, and most of the children and nephews in the family have been sent back to their hometown, and the Zhang family has already purchased a large amount of land in their hometown, and there is no problem in supporting these children.
The children raised in the pirate family, eating wine and eating meat in large bowls, heroism and vulgarity have been integrated into their genes.
Expecting them to be able to figure out how to make a difference is a bit harder for them in their simple-mindedness.
Coupled with the elders in the family, few of them have read and read.
This is even more destined, after the children of the Zheng family have made their careers, they will focus on eating, drinking and having fun.
In eating, drinking, and merrymaking, they lost the bravery passed down to them by their ancestors.
Naval warfare and maritime trade are the strengths of the Zheng family. But among today's Daming maritime merchants and the Ming navy, there are very few Zheng families.
There is an opportunity to make quick money comfortably in the capital, who will be miserable floating on the sea to earn silver dollars.
Li Xiao's dissatisfaction with the Zheng family has reached the extreme.
Especially after Zheng Zhilong was paralyzed by a stroke, the Zheng family was even more unscrupulous without his restraint, and now it has become a major scourge in the capital.
In the Shuntian Mansion, the official documents suing the Zheng family were stacked higher than Li Xiao.
Not far ahead, it is the Shuntianfu Yamen.
Li Xiao and Sun Yuanhua walked inside, but were stopped by the messenger at the door.
"What for?" The fierce and vicious messenger looked Li Xiao and Sun Yuanhua up and down and asked.
"We're ......, we're here to open an account. It's convenient for the two little brothers! Before Li Xiao could speak, Sun Yuanhua grabbed his fists and said.
Sun Yuanhua's southern accent looks like a foreigner at first glance.
"Open an account? Hmph...... just rushed in in a daze, do you know the rules? The other officer asked, glaring.
Li Xiao felt a strong bad breath coming, and the smoke made him take a step back. I vaguely felt that something was sprayed on my face.
I just wanted to scold, but was pulled aside by Sun Yuanhua.
"It's a little meaning, please have a cup of tea." Sun Yuanhua took out a stack of copper brothers from his arms and stuffed them into the hands of the chief officer.
The messenger took the bronze brother and checked it: "That's it? How many of our brothers are crickets? ”
"Oh! Offend! Offend! Sun Yuanhua hurriedly laughed with him, and took out more than a dozen copper brothers from his arms.
"Humph! Seeing that you old thing is still knowing, go inside. The lead messenger took Brother Tong into his arms and pouted at the gate of the yamen.
"Thank you! Thanks a lot! Sun Yuanhua hurriedly arched his hand and dragged Li Xiao in.
Walking inside, Li Xiao and Sun Yuanhua came to the official room where the household registration was recorded. As soon as Li Xiao walked in, he saw a large group of people whimpering and shouting inside, as lively as a vegetable market.
The weather was unbelievably hot, and the inside of the office room was like a steamer.
On the other side of the office, the officials were blowing fans, eating watermelons and drinking tea, and a huge glass separated an office into two worlds. The officials in the glass window chatted while impatiently playing the people who came to do things.
The people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and they only hoped that things would be done as soon as possible and leave this steamer-like place.
They laughed and answered the questions of the officials carefully.
But the officials usually just told them what was missing, and then threw out the people's materials.
Pity these people, most of them don't even know the words. Many of them didn't understand what those officials said.
The helpless people could only shake their heads and sigh and leave. Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, not because they can't but don't dare.
The powerful deterrent power of the state apparatus makes the people dare not take half a step beyond the thunder pool.
What made Li Xiao even more annoyed was that these windows were installed very low. The people were doing things in front of the window, either kneeling or squatting.
It's been a long time, not to mention this sultry weather, even two legs can't stand it.
"Boss, you see it. That's how our officials treat the people. The official authority is a full pose, but look at it, is this a statement?
Look over there, there are still crickets on the last day. Zhang Huangyan pointed behind the glass curtain, and the fingers of the two guys who were staring at a cricket jar on the desk were trembling with anger.
"Hey! You two, what do you mean? What are you going to do? A messenger with a face full of flesh walked over and looked Li Xiao and Sun Yuanhua up and down.
"Oh! Oh! We're here to open an account. Sun Yuanhua hurriedly took out Kanhe and showed it to the officer.
"Open an account! Over there. The messenger didn't even look at it, and casually pointed to another window more than ten meters away.
There was already a long queue of people over there, and the people at the end of the line were already lined up.
"That's a lot of people!" Sun Yuanhua asked in some surprise.
"There are still few people today, look at your old man's weak body. Here's an idea for you! The messenger looked at Sun Yuanhua and said.
Li Xiao thought to himself, he didn't expect this guy to look vicious, and his heart is not bad. When you're going to clean up these people for a while, let go of this errand who looks pretty good.
"Oops! Thank you, you say ......! As Sun Yuanhua spoke, he saw the two fingers of the messenger constantly rubbing.
"Oh! Oh! Oh! You buy a bag of tea to drink. Sun Yuanhua hurriedly took out more than a dozen copper brothers from his arms and stuffed them into the hands of the messengers.
Li Xiao pouted helplessly, it turned out that he was still a bastard who wanted to generate income.
The errand officer took Brother Tong and weighed it, and whispered to Sun Yuanhua: "If you go to this place, I will tell you that you can't do it in three days."
This window can only be done one or twenty a day. Look, this man is a hundred years old.
Tell you! Some people come early in the morning when the yamen has not yet opened, and you come at this time, and it will not be your turn to go on a business trip. ”
Money can make the devil grind, and the servants who give money will also use you.
"Ahh Then you say I'm ......! Sun Yuanhua said anxiously with Kanhe in his hand.
"If you want to do it as soon as possible, two silver dollars, I'll do it for you properly." The officer stretched out two thick fingers.
"Two silver dollars? It's a little too expensive, and half of my account ......! Sun Yuanhua was a little embarrassed, and he knew by looking at his appearance that he was distressed by the Qian guy.
"Depending on how old you are, I will show you the clear way. If you don't want to spend money, then you just wait. Even if you come to the queue in the middle of the night, you may not be able to get in line. The errand officer saw that Sun Yuanhua was distressed about the money, so he simply threw up his sleeves and wanted to leave.
"What do you say, this officer? Tell me about ......! Sun Yuanhua tugged at the officer's sleeve.
