Chapter 33: It's called a tunnel
Three days later, Meng Biao, Li Tiezhu and dozens of others followed Wang Hongyu into the capital.
I used to think that it would be too ostentatious for so many people to enter the capital together, but when I arrived at Dongzhimen, I found that I thought too much.
It's all people......
This is a real bustling, busy, crowded, shoulder to shoulder, men and women, old and young, there is no shortage of handsome men and women in bright clothes. Most of them were business travelers and residents, and the crowds waiting to enter and exit the city gates were so long that they almost blocked the wide streets.
This scene is really not uncommon in Dongzhimen, because Dongzhimen is also known as the business gate, and ordinary people do business near this gate, and business travelers come and go, so it is naturally not lively.
When waiting in line, there are vendors who sell directly.
There are those who sell fruits and vegetables, those who sell cotton and linen, those who shout and sharpen scissors and sharpen knives, and those who go into the countryside to play cotton.
Wang Hongyu bought a string of sugar gourds and tasted the taste of old Beijing.
That's called an authentic ~
If you buy dozens of skewers and everyone has them, this will be considered as a big group of people entering Beijing.
Entering the Dongzhi Gate, go straight is Gui Street, go~ This will take you look-look.
What?
What is Gui Street? 400 years later, there are few lively places in the night market in Beijing, lobster, beer, bullfrog skewers, stewed fried liver dead bread, which is called an authentic.
Although it will not be until 360 years later, that does not hinder the tradition of this place.
Dongzhimen comes in, a street of heavy food, which is a heritage from the Ming Dynasty.
Since the construction of this gate, it is mainly dedicated to transporting timber, sand and gravel, and it is next to the Chaoyang Gate in the south and is the door for transporting grain, and it is called the grain gate for a while. That is to say, this south is the granary, and there are many warehouses around, and there are many people who do heavy physical work, so there is no shortage of oil, water and salt.
Why do you have oil and water, and the laborers can barely afford to eat?
Of course, it is in the water, but it is not like the later generations that are more expensive than lean meat, and it is the first choice if you want to make up for it at this time.
The place where the warehouses are concentrated, there are gradually all kinds of businesses, and the gathering of ordinary people and business travelers must be lively, so this has become a concentrated place for the common people in the capital.
Li Tiezhu, a half-grown child, really opened his eyes, and others didn't eat more when they warmed up their bodies with a bowl of miscellaneous soup. He poured it well, a baked cake in his left hand, a bowl of fried liver in his right hand, and the stew in his mouth had not yet been swallowed, and his eyes were already fixed on the donkey rolling.
Wang Hongyu had to pay for this meal, but it was of another good use to bring him here.
Who called him young, good craftsmanship and heart, except for him, there is really no one else who is suitable.
Gao Xueru's property was seized by his uncle, and Emperor Wanli waved his hand and rewarded 20% of it to the White Pole Army as a reward.
Qin Liangyu knew how to share with friendly troops, so half of it went to the Sichuan soldiers who were kind this time.
A Zhuangzi outside the city, which is convenient to the north and east, is suitable for the later development of ironware and honeycomb coal workshops. There is also a shop in the city, which is within the Dongzhi Gate, which is very convenient.
However, this time he brought Li Tiezhu here, not only to engage in content that he was familiar with, such as iron fighting, but also to let him learn some new skills.
Let him live happily for two days first, and then it will be hard work.
The shop itself is actually a courtyard house, with the north side being the main bedroom, and the east and west sides can accommodate people and store goods. A small shop opened on the south-facing side.
Gao Xueru's subordinates used to sell salt and grain here, and now they are just changing it and opening a new shop.
It is said that the Sichuan soldiers are quite poor, but they also have to thank Gao Xueru for breaking the road and not having time to take away the property.
I heard that hundreds of thousands of taels were confiscated, hundreds of hectares of land were produced, and dozens of Zhuangzi shops were large. In the end, there were as many as 30,000 taels of reward, of which 5,000 taels were handed over to him by the eldest brother and the second brother to operate.
Now, he has been regarded as one of the leaders in the Sichuan soldiers, and his prestige among the white pole soldiers is also very high, and even the Zhejiang soldiers respect themselves, and even a few regard themselves as benefactors.
With a military heart and rich talents, of course, you don't have to worry about not being able to build an industry.
Autumn and winter plans to sell honeycomb coal.
A trade route to the north has been found to collect coal, and a large amount of crushed coal can be bought at a low price in spring and summer.
Li Tiezhu has already made several honeycomb coal molds under his own guidance.
Then the crushed coal and the loess are close to 1:1 together, then poured with water and stirred well. Next, the coal is beaten with an abrasive tool to form a honeycomb appearance, and finally dried, which is the honeycomb coal.
It only takes a few craftsmen who are dexterous, honest and reliable, and able to do manual work to produce honeycomb coal.
Although the people were poor during the Ming Dynasty, it was getting colder and colder under the Xiaoice River, the price of coal was much cheaper than grain, and there was a considerable market in the capital.
It's spring, and it's the time to stock up on raw materials at low prices.
In addition to honeycomb coal, you can also engage in some luxury.
Wang Hongyu asked Li Tiezhu with a smile: "How are you doing with the gear mold?" ”
"Brother, the gear thing is really not complicated, but the mold is a bit interesting, and the things made with it are all the same size."
Li Tiezhu began to delve into it.
......
A luxury restaurant on Qianmen Street in Beijing.
Yao Zongwen and Shuntian Xun pressed Liu Tingyuan in the matter, and chartered three private rooms on the second floor, emptied the two sides, and discussed countermeasures in the middle room.
There is also a division of labor among the various officials of the Zhejiang Party, and Yao Zongwen, a spokesman and official, is good at eloquence and is engaged in making things happen.
And this Liu Tingyuan is the imperial history, in charge of investigation, evidence collection and trial, he was in charge of the "attack case" from the beginning, and left a lot of ink in history.
At this time, he spoke: "I was originally prepared for the investigation and interrogation of the local soldiers, why did I involve the Zhejiang soldiers again, and finally became like this?"
Liu Tingyuan is now the patrol of Shuntian Mansion, according to the original plan, Yao Zongwen is doing trouble, Liu Tingyuan investigates and interrogates, and the first assistant party is from Zhe, and he can add charges to Xiong Tingbi at once.
Results......
"What has happened cannot be changed, Gao Xueru and Wang Xueshu are unreliable, only fellow villagers can be reliable."
The Donglin Party and the Zhejiang Party belong to the friends of the party, not the modern group, so they often rely on the same township, the same family, and the same session to ensure the relationship of interests.
Liu Tingyuan, who is in charge of the imperial history, has already investigated some of the situation, and analyzed: "I heard that it was the Sichuan soldiers who made the obstruction, especially Zhou Dunji and Zhang Shenwu, who deceived Wang Xueshu and Gao Xueru, and it was they who disturbed our situation. ”
Yao Zongwen sighed: "It should be like this, this is written that the Sichuan soldiers and the white pole soldiers are both heavy weapons of Xiong Ting, and they were originally going to be attacked, but now they are revenge." ”
"But now there is no breakthrough, and even Jizhen doesn't have any of our people, so what can we do about it?"
"My lord, there is a situation."
Outside the private room, Yao Zongwen's scribe said.
"Come in and just talk about it."
The scribe came in and whispered something.
Yao Zongwen and Liu Tingyuan were stunned for a while, and then looked at each other and smiled.
