Chapter 161: Old News and New Ideas
Junpan State, close to the Jinou Dynasty at the same time, is also one of its vassal states, belonging to the kind of extremely honest duty, a country's state affairs are almost no matter how small, all up to the suzerain's decision.
In the early years, the Jinou Dynasty was complacent about this, and once raised the Junpan country as a model, and publicized it in the dynasty's mansion newspaper, which caused the surrounding neighbors to secretly spit on countless people, and drowned people with spittle.
Low eyebrows are pleasing to the eye like a slave, and it is inevitable that you will not be pleasing to the eye. At that time, many people scolded, either you Junpan Kingdom was directly merged into the Jinou Dynasty, or you instigated the Jinou Dynasty to directly accept such an obedient "little brother", and simply forget it together, always respond to the people's minds.
The royal family of a country, including the emperor's children, marrying wives and concubines, selecting the site of the tomb, weddings and funerals, all of them are reported to the suzerainty for decision.
The royal family is like this, the officials below are aggrieved to be officials, and they are okay if they violate the laws of the royal family of Junpan Kingdom, but if they violate some taboos of the Jinou Dynasty, they will serve in the prison, and then they will be escorted to the prisoner car and go north to the Jinou Dynasty, and they will naturally have nothing to do when they come back, and they can continue to be officials, if they can't come back, the officialdom will be without you.
"So, it's a convention that Junpan Country is inferior, from the emperor to the common people, they are all like this."
"Such a gutsless, just go against the damn, change someone to sit in that seat, I still don't believe that there can be someone more bearish than the current emperor."
"That's right, when I come out of my mother's womb, I will be a head shorter than others, and if it were me, I couldn't stand it."
The storyteller pressed twice, waited for everyone to be quiet, and said with a smile: "If you compromise and seek perfection, in exchange for the eternal life of Guozuo, do you think it is worth it or not?" ”
A big man scolded and said: "What do you have to do with us and other fart people? ”
The storyteller smiled casually, "The world is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, is it enough?" ”
After hearing this, Ye Xiu on the side was unconvinced and said: "The officials and lords sit in the mansion, earn a lot of money, and have little to do with the people. ”
"That's a good point." The storyteller pointed at him and said, "But in the peaceful world, there are very few people who die in war, and you have to admit this." ”
Ye Xiu, who was squatting on the ground, got up and shouted: "I have suffered all my life under the peace and stability, and I am still famous for fighting and killing." Lao Tzu would rather choose the latter, his life is too long, and Lao Tzu only seizes the day. ”
"Let's go, let's go, the level of this storytelling is too poor, let's pour ecstasy soup into us, and don't look at who we are, the fighting men who break into the rivers and lakes are all rectums, and they can't eat enough, and a few of them will be idle and have nothing to do to think about Ming'er."
"That is, people in the rivers and lakes, when are you looking forward to the peaceful years, waiting to be cleaned up by the government? I can't figure this out. ”
"One acre and three points of land can get a mother-in-law, give birth to a baby, Lao Tzu as for wandering the rivers and lakes, after today there is no tomorrow, is Lao Tzu cheap? It's not impossible. ”
The storyteller looked at the scattered crowd, somewhat restrained and embarrassed, he knew that he would not talk about this, and thought that step by step, he could say some things that readers love to think about.
Seeing that the crowd dispersed and was powerless to stop, the storyteller sighed and sighed, and now that the sun is hanging high, and the good time to tell the story is not there, he has to pack his bags and go home home.
Anyway, this place is not far from the ferry, and most of the passers-by come and go every day are living people, so they can't talk about smashing their own signboards.
Three pieces of broken silver rolled down the wooden table, the storyteller's eyes lit up, he didn't accept it, and looked up, an old man and a young man, and two young people, he had a good memory, remembering that these people were just outside the crowd.
The storyteller was thoughtful, pointed to the broken silver and asked, "...... is this?" ”
The broken silver was given by Chen Jing, and when he heard the storyteller's words, he guessed that he had given more, but fortunately, he also spent the manpower of the fairy money, so he said disapprerovitly: "I passed by here just now, and I stopped to listen to it, and these broken silver should be rewarded to Mr." ”
The storyteller arched his hand and said: "A few atmospheres, thank you Han here." ”
Cui Ying couldn't see Xiao Jingmo chirping, looking at how many inches this storyteller grows a few inches, he should be a person who can do things, and asked: "I said, old brother, do you know about the affairs of Yujing City in the east?" ”
The storyteller is not as tall as Cui Yinggao, and when he heard his voice, his eyes looked at the Adam's apple of this "good man", but he was still not sure, and arched his hand: "There is some gossip, but I can't do it accurately, after all, Yujing City is thousands of miles away......
Cui Ying slapped one hand on the table, pushed forward, and there were a few more pieces of broken silver, "It's not allowed to be us, as for whether to say it or not, that's your business." ”
The storyteller was so greedy that he thought he couldn't open it today, and he didn't want to meet a resentful man who only listened to the news, regardless of whether it was true or not.
Reserved, must be reserved, the storyteller warned himself, after all, he had read a few books of sages, and he could not be surprised by a few pieces of broken silver.
coughed, cleared his throat, and the storyteller surnamed Han said: "There was a big incident in Yujing City a few months ago, what is the specific matter, what I heard here is only a rumor, please distinguish between true and false."
Some people say that Erzhuang Zuxiu made a mess and destroyed half of the jade capital.
It is also said that Da Zhuang Zu was not used to seeing the second Zhuang Zu monopolizing the affairs of a continent, and the two quarreled over it, and finally fought hard, causing countless casualties in Yujing City.
There are even rumors ......"
The storyteller's head stretched out over the table, and a few people approached and whispered: "It is rumored that the wandering immortal in Nanyuzhou next door came back from the dead, and the first thing he did after returning was to go to Yujing City to find trouble. ”
Seeing the expressions of several people, the storyteller felt that it was not enough, and the high-roller made a move, which made people feel that the money was worth spent, and continued: "It's still the same sentence, what is the matter, I can't be sure about it." However, the report from the Jinou Dynasty in the north can be confirmed, and now the Guanyu Dynasty, Da Zhuang Zu personally sits in the Yujing City and presides over all the affairs of the immortals, which is very certain, and it can't be faked! ”
"Oh, by the way, also, the legend says that the Jade Emperor Hall seems to have collapsed, and it is unknown to whose hands it was destroyed."
"There is also a big hole on the outer wall of Dazhuang Ancestor's Yuhua Garden, and I don't know who poisoned it, and it may have a lot to do with the destroyed Jade Emperor Palace."
"There is a mysterious and mysterious immortal rumor, saying that the damage in the Jade Capital City of the Guanyu Dynasty may touch the number of fortunes, but I don't know if it is good or bad for mortals like me."
……
Chen Jing heard the storyteller babbling nonsense, but he didn't hear any useful news, but he didn't have much expectations, just hearsay, just to feel at ease for himself.
After saying goodbye to the storyteller, the group walked to the ferry called "Fengwei".
The ferry is near the water, under the best use of things, it is a fairy and fan dual-purpose ferry, compared to the fairy ferry that specializes in serving the fairy master, the fairy is insufficient, but it is grounded, it is more lively, there is a passage post road on the side of the ferry to go directly to the north, it is said that it is not to go to the capital city or other cities of Junpan, but to the Jinou Dynasty, it can be seen that Junpan country in order to please the suzerain, is very put in the shoes and search for dry intestines.
The ferry is close at hand, and if you want Cui Ying to walk on her two legs, it is obviously impossible, even if the ferry here cannot cross continents, even if she takes the waterway around the Quliang River, she doesn't want to be wronged by two legs, and besides, the ferry goes around thousands of miles, isn't it faster than going home through the mountains and rivers?
Daoist Tong made up his mind to be a drag oil bottle, the two Taoist friends are kind-hearted, they can't see the old man suffering, and they can't see Xiaozhu'er suffering.
can go all the way for thousands of miles, this is in the rivers and lakes, what kind of relationship can be like this? It's not hot enough, it's almost the same, how can you care about the fare of an old man and a young man? No, you can't! If the two Taoist friends pay for a moment late, they will despise the love of the rivers and lakes and lose the friendship of the rivers and lakes.
In order to save face for the two Taoist friends, the grandfather and grandson of Tong Dao got on the ferry, and immediately became deaf and demented, and they were killed without paying.
"Hey, come and have a look." Cui Ying shouted in front of him.
Chen Jing walked over, Zhang Bang posted a route map of the ferry, all immortals have it, save asking about the ferry, the drawings are concise and clear, so that people can see it at a glance, to Chen Jing's surprise, there is a cross-continent ferry at the ferry here, but only to Yujinzhou next door, and there are only two docks.
One is the Yunshui ferry of Shangshui Country, and the other is the northernmost Wangxiangtai ferry port of Yujinzhou.
Chen Jing's brows furrowed when he saw it, after the natural disaster, the country was ruined, the people were displaced, and the sect was relocated, so there was naturally no need for the ferry to exist anymore.
Chen Jing suspected for a while, this drawing is old, Fengweidu has not hung a new one here at all, and it has been used for decades, which makes outsiders puzzled, and acquaintances know the roots.
Cui Ying also saw the weirdness above, and shouted, "Let's go, let's go and ask, anyway, it doesn't cost money, don't ask in vain." ”
Chen Jingyi walked through the flow of people to the periphery of the ferry, and saw a few simple wooden houses selling boarding tickets, so he approached and asked.
As soon as the guy finished eating, he picked out the shredded meat stuffed in his mouth, and said in surprise: "Two months ago, the Wangxiangtai ferry port in Nanyuzhou was reopened. ”
Chen Jing was puzzled: "Why? ”
The guy's expression was contemptuous, full of disdain for the lack of well-informed information about the wild cultivation of the mountains and rivers, "The northernmost part of Nanyuzhou, Mengji Kingdom, was first built, and Wangxiangtai was restarted, which is considered a great gift for the founding of the country." ”
"Yo, there's such a thing, it's rare!" Cui Ying said with a bright face.
The guy glanced at the queue behind them, knocked down the table and reminded, "Hurry up and tell me where to go, the people behind are crowded." ”
Cui Ying was stunned for a moment, asked the people in line behind to buy the bill first, and pulled Chen Jing to the side, "Hurry up and let me see the map." ”
Chen Jing didn't know why, so he took out the map and spread it out.
Cui Ying gestured back and forth on the map with her hand, and Chen Jing knew why she did this, and said helplessly: "You still want to go back to the Soul Cliff again?" ”
Cui Ying said as a matter of course: "Such beautiful two sisters, it is not possible without my moisture." Do you know how painful my heart hurts every time I dream of the two sisters and think that in the future, two cabbages will be arched by wild boars? It's so painful, the liver and intestines are broken, the heart is like a knife, and the dead and alive ......"
Cui Ying saw that he ignored him, so he had to say: "It's been a while since I came out, I went to Broken Yue Gorge to report the safety of my father and mother, shouldn't I?" Since you have gone to Jieyue Gorge, it is not too much to take a trip back to the Soul Cliff along the way, right? ”
Chen Jing knew that she was crooked, and she felt awkward in her heart, and if she went back this time, she should indeed go to report safety to her father.
Chen Jing said unhappily: "It's my father, not ......"
Cui Ying interrupted him and said, "What are you and me, it's us, our father!" I kowtowed at the beginning, and my father and mother didn't object, you are a fart. ”
Chen Jing gritted his back teeth, this bastard said that the crooked reason was a must, and he didn't have the same knowledge as her, so he walked up to the guy and asked about the price of the ferry for the two.
There was a cough from behind him.
Chen Jing then sighed and said, "Three...... What is the price for four people to go to Wangxiangtai? ”
Cui Ying crossed her waist and looked at Daochang Tong with a shy, "Daoist coughed, what's wrong?" Sick? ”
Tong Daochang scratched his scalp twice and said, "It's okay, it's okay, maybe I slept in the open last night and contracted a little cold." ”
Cui Ying pointed to the ferry in the distance and said: "The wind on the ferry is strong, and it is not very friendly to the condition of the road chief, if you don't forget it, take advantage of the good weather during this time and bask in the sun well, which will help expel the cold." ”
Daoist Tong smiled bitterly: "It is precisely because of the strong wind on the ferry, we should take the ferry to blow the wind, and strive to dry the skin, flesh, muscles and bones as soon as possible, so as not to get seriously ill." ”
Cui Ying narrowed her eyes and said, "Since the Taoist chief has said so, let's talk about money." ”
"Wow", Xiaozhu'er cried.
Cui Ying hurriedly waved her hand, "Okay, okay, owe it first, owe it first." ”
Hearing her say this, Daoist Tong also howled.
Chen Jing glanced back at Cui Ying, who said helplessly: "The rivers and lakes are a game, what you owe or not, you should do it." Let's stop calling, no. ”
Tong Daochang immediately closed his voice and patted the crying granddaughter who came back from death, and the little girl's face changed.
One big and one small are fine.
The guy stretched out his five fingers, and Chen Jing said with a toothache: "It can't be five snow coins, right?" ”
"Do you have money and no place to spend it? Rain money! The man shouted in a bit of frustration.
"It's cheap." Chen Jing was secretly happy, and he finally met an affordable price along the way.
Suddenly woke up and hurriedly asked, "How long will it take to get to Wangxiangtai?" ”
"About half a month."
"How much is left or right?"
"One day at least, two days at most."
"Is the ferry in a dilapidated state?"
"Decent."
This is about the same, Chen Jing asked a few words about the most easily criticized place, whether it is good or not bad is good, and he gave the money happily.
The guy pushed over the four standard jade plates, pointed outside, and said, "Three days later, before noon at the latest, remember to board the ship." ”
"Three days later?"
After Cui Ying heard this, her eyes widened, "Why didn't you say it before you collected the money?!" ”
The guy took a sip of herbal tea and said proudly, "You didn't ask." ”
Cui Ying slapped the table and shouted, "Lao Tzu is asking now!" ”
The table was slapped vigorously by her, and the tea cup bounced up, and the guy took it with his hand, disapproving about what this good man did, and asked with a smile: "Since I asked, I tell you, I only came after three days, and I don't like to sit or not." Since he is a good man who travels south and north, he can do it without taking a ferry, and he walks to Nanyuzhou, and walks for a few months, so why worry about not being able to get by. ”
Chen Jing pulled the angry Cui Ying away, it was useless to quarrel, the man was sure that a few people were going to take the ferry, so he took advantage of words, if it was limited to this, Chen Jing admitted, if it was really a broken ferry boat that leaked everywhere, then he would make a big fuss here.
When a few people walked away, the man asked his colleagues to replace him for a while, came to the back room, carefully took out a scroll of landscape paintings, opened it, and looked at it carefully back and forth, his face flushed, and his voice was excited.
"Can't be wrong, it's these two guys!"
