Chapter 174: The Beggars of Chang'an City
"Brother, how much heat will be absorbed by so much snow melting?"
Li Ruoyu went straight to the point, she wanted to know the specific value of calories.
"You already know the concept of heat, but you don't know the numerical calculation of heat, so now I teach you, do you want to learn?"
The energy that had just been hooked up by Li Hui came out, "Brother, we want to learn, there is absolutely no problem!" ”
Li Ruoyun was as enthusiastic as fire, and his eyes were blazing.
Li Ruoyu understated it, but it was clear that Li Hui could see the thirst for knowledge in her eyes.
During this time, the servants in the Hou Mansion seemed to be covered with hair, and it was not good to be locked at home by heavy snow day by day, even if it was Li Hui himself, he would feel a little uncomfortable if he didn't go out all day long.
In this feudal era, the land is vast, most of the land is still virgin, and it has never been explored, just like the tree-lined alleys have not yet been paved with bricks and stones, and there are many places worth wandering.
Literati and ink writers, in particular, have an appreciation for art, which determines that they can discover the best of the world in all sorts of humble places.
So in the afternoon, Qi Ping took the servants on a collective trip, and on the mountain behind the Lotte Marquis Mansion in Lantian, there was still a bloodstain, but there were already human footprints on it.
Needless to say, these footprints were left by the training of seventy retainers.
Seventy retainers had just returned from the mountains, and the snow could not break their will, nor could any difficulty destroy their faith.
In the Hou Mansion, everything was orderly, harmonious and pleasant, but when Ma Zhou came back, a piece of news also reached Li Hui's ears.
"Master Hou, Ma Zhou found that more than 20 beggars came from nowhere, and they gradually have their own power in Chang'an."
Beggar? Got your own strength?
"When did these people show up?"
Ma Zhou sighed, "Most of them appeared after the Yuan Day. ”
Li Hui shook his head, "Maybe it's not right, if these people only entered Chang'an after the Yuan Day, then it means that it took them less than eight days to find a suitable begging territory in Chang'an, and they are not afraid of the encroachment of others." ”
"Mr. Ma Zhou, this is not reasonable."
Li Hui said that this makes sense, the world of beggars is a bit similar to the reason of normal people doing business.
A beggar is like an entrepreneur, after occupying a place, a system will be formed, whether it is an entrepreneur or a beggar, their group is declaring one thing, there is a master here.
But that doesn't mean that others can't get involved, or that they are anti-customer-oriented and grab territory and resources.
It's just that snatching comes at a price.
There are only more than 20 of these people in total, how can they confront so many beggars in Chang'an?
Li Hui didn't quite understand, "Could it be that there are strong people among them?" ”
Ma Zhou showed an incredible expression, strongman, this kind of thing is not something that ordinary people can control.
Usually the strongmen of the Tang Dynasty are in the green forest, these people see the head and the dragon, although sometimes they will hide among ordinary people for their livelihood, but if you let them be beggars, they will guarantee that 10,000 are unwilling.
In the eyes of these people, face and reputation are the key to their survival, and this must not be broken.
Let them become beggars, this is to ruin their reputation and the name of heroes, this kind of thing must not be done.
Even if it's to take a step back and stand up for the beggar......
This was also quickly vetoed by Ma Zhou, people who don't want to be involved in this kind of environment, how can they be a little lonely and proud in their hearts, how can they stand out for a beggar?
When things go wrong, there must be demons, and the sudden appearance of such a "beggar gang" in Chang'an is not an ordinary thing.
There are a lot of beggars in Chang'an, some people live on this, Ma Zhou has seen a strange daytime in the sloppy, begging everywhere, at night, directly into a huge courtyard, not long after a change of clothes out, straight to the drunken moon building.
There are also people who are nominally beggars, but as soon as night falls, they transform into various identities.
Even real beggars have their own organizations, begging in different territories, and pay some fees to the beggar leaders on a regular basis.
These more than 20 different beggars who suddenly appeared were incompatible with Tang Chang'an.
"Master Hou, Mr. Qi Ping can go and check, the ins and outs of these people must have secretly left clues."
In Chang'an, Heiwa drooled again.
"Yu Guo I, let's not be ashamed, the people in Chang'an are so rich, let's save some money, let's find a way to open a stall, and then our brothers and sisters won't have to worry about food and clothing."
The little girl kept shaking her head, "Brother, our store has been losing money, didn't Grandma say that you won't be allowed to do business." ”
"Go, go, children know how to fart, brother, this is to become bigger and stronger."
The two of them were in rags, but they were no longer as thin as they were when they were in the wild, at least, they came to Chang'an and had enough torn clothes to keep out the cold.
Not far from the brother and sister, a man dressed in black lay down, his eyes looking straight at the sky, where the gray and blue of the sky met was his favorite.
He's always been so lonely and doesn't talk much.
But the attack is ruthless.
Heiwa always thought that begging was begging, and after coming to Chang'an, he found that begging is a business.
It was a contest, and it even involved the interests of the head snake.
Heiwa is not stupid, how could she take such a risk and put her sister's safety aside?
Fortunately, this person who picked it up is amazing, when he picked it up, he had six knives on his body, and as he walked, there were only four left, and when he approached Chang'an, there was only one left, either he threw it to the Heiwa brothers and sisters as weapons, or he threw it away himself.
When entering Chang'an, you can't bring weapons, so the last knife was also discarded by him a kilometer away from Chang'an.
Heiwa has always wondered why this person values his knife so much, why is it so natural when he loses it along the way, and when he throws it out, it is like broken copper and iron, and he doesn't want to look at it more.
Those knives are very sharp and very easy to use, at least chopping wood along the way to open the way, Heiwa feels very good to use.
Heiwa sighed, "Mutter, we have made money, we must thank him well, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't even have a chance to be beggars." ”
He nodded vigorously.
Heiwa's eyes flickered, and he was guessing the identity of the person he picked up.
In Chang'an, when the head snake appeared, this person solved it lightly, and his martial arts were no longer high.
