Chapter Thirty-Eight: Can't Enter the City

Zhang Changwei then said to Zhang Luo:

"In this Jinjiang city, in addition to the government and county offices."

"It's still the county government treasury, the weaving bureau, the salt factory, and the blacksmith's office."

"There are so many official places that you can't count on two hands."

"If you meet the officials of these places in the county seat."

"Just hide away."

Zhang Wangsheng and Zhang Xiaowu asked strangely:

Why are you hiding? ”

张长伟 says:

"The county town is mixed now."

"There is a shortage of people in all kinds of places in the government office."

"On the streets, if they think you're suitable, they'll take you and serve in the conscription."

"Zhen Haiwei is very poor now, and there is no money to redeem him."

Zhang Luo asked suspiciously:

"Aren't the people of Zhenhaiwei all family members of military soldiers?"

"According to the decree of the Ming Dynasty, you can be exempted from forced labor?"

Zhang Changwei sighed and said:

"Not by law."

"But the Fujian Tiangao Emperor is far away."

"In addition, the plague is serious, and there is a shortage of forced labor in the official offices."

"It doesn't matter if it's an old man or a child."

"As long as you have complete hands and feet, you will be taken away by them if you have no disabilities."

"A few months ago, people from a guard house went into the county to sell grain."

"They were taken by the blacksmiths to make iron."

"If my father hadn't been there, I'm afraid he would have died in the blacksmith's shop."

This time, the two little babies were scared by Zhang Changwei.

hurriedly warned himself to be careful in the county.

Zhang Luo sighed.

Although the Jiajing Dynasty as a whole has begun to erode.

But compared to a few strange emperors in the back.

Miscellaneous taxes and servitude are not to be put to death.

But now the southeastern provinces.

Conscription can be regarded as very severe.

There is no chance of surviving a few books that go to serve in the official office.

Many people tried to avoid forced labor.

Give up the meager land in your hands.

Ran directly to the state and county with few people.

Some even took the initiative to become slaves in the landlords and gentry's homes.

Zhang Changwei continued:

"And then there are the two yamen who want to hide the most."

"Quanzhou Wei commands the envoy and the Quanzhou River Transport Yamen."

The two babies listened puzzled.

Zhang Luo touched his forehead and asked:

"Isn't the Quanzhou Wei Commander's Yamen also a military guard?"

Zhang Changwei frowned and said:

"Quanzhou Wei is the guard of the state capital, and there are more than 3,000 people in it."

"It's all under the control of the Yamen of the Fujian Metropolitan Government."

"The command of the guard post is not low-level."

"Our Zhenhaiwei is just a small guard house with a few hundred people."

"It belongs to the Coastal Defense Station, and it is under the management of the Japanese Army."

"The two sides belong to very different places."

Zhang Changwei looked at his face and said:

"Quanzhou Wei's military discipline has been sloppy over the years."

"The soldiers of the guard are no different from bandits."

"The people in the county are afraid of them."

Zhang Luo was speechless when he listened.

In the history books, there are often cases where a few hundred Japanese invaders will take down a county seat.

At that time, Zhang Luo still wondered where the army defending the city had gone.

It turned out to be in the company of thieves, which was despised.

"This river transportation yamen is even more terrifying."

"The Quanzhou government should regularly pay tribute to the provincial political envoys for grain and other goods."

"If you are caught, you will be transported to the river."

"Basically, this little life is not guaranteed."

From Zhang Changwei's reminder.

Zhang Luojue's small county seat.

It's really a place of swords and fire.

No wonder everyone goes to the ghost market to do business.

Zhang Changwei spoke for a while.

My throat was a little unbearable.

Zhang Luo asked him to rest on the wooden cart for a while.

Teach knowledge to the two living treasures yourself.

Zhang Changwei recognized some words.

But listen to some of the examples in the four books that Zhang Luo said.

I also expanded my knowledge.

The experience in the system is also growing slightly in Zhang Luo's mind.

Zhang Luo recalled the knowledge in the "ancient history" skill.

There are seven counties under Quanzhou.

Jinjiang, Nan'an, Tong'an, Hui'an, Anxi, Yongchun, Dehua.

Jinjiang County is attached to Guo County.

It can be regarded as a relatively prosperous county seat in Quanzhou.

Jinjiang is located on the first line of the coast.

Both the military status and the production of goods are very important.

Wait until Zhang Luo arrives not far from the county seat.

It was found that the Jinjiang city wall was really grand.

There are a small number of people living in the suburbs.

It's not like a military powerhouse.

It looks like an important financial and trading city.

Zhang Luo used the knowledge in the "Art of War" to sweep around the periphery of the county.

Found on the seemingly impregnable city walls.

There are really a lot of details holes.

There are some empty places that cats and dogs can get into.

Zhang Luo sighed.

The military defense of the Ming Dynasty was really strong from the outside.

If you give Zhang Luo thousands of soldiers who are trained quickly.

In less than an hour, Zhang Luo will be able to take the county seat.

The group walked a few steps closer.

It was found that the gate of Jinjiang City was full of officials.

At the same time, it was accompanied by the sound of a gong.

Zhang Luo saw an official in a red official uniform riding a horse.

Slowly walk along the pipeline into the county seat.

Although it was getting dark.

But Zhang Luo still saw the goose-shaped pattern on the official's uniform.

Zheng Sipin, could it be that the new prefect has taken office?

The prefect was followed by a long guard of honor.

Countless carriages followed.

The scene of the prefect entering the city is very magnificent.

Zhang Changwei has never seen such a scene since he was a child.

He turned to Zhang Luo and asked:

"Which provincial official has come to Jinjiang County?"

Zhang Luo pointed to the battle flag in front of him and said:

"It says that the newly arrived governor of Quanzhou has taken office."

Zhang Changwei opened his mouth wide.

Look carefully at the brigade ahead.

Said with a sad face:

"Alas, it's not the right time."

"Today, such a big official is in the county."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the city today."

Just when the prefect was about to enter the city.

A group of officials in official robes hurriedly ran out.

Line up in two teams to welcome the arrival of the prefect.

Zhang Changwei has never seen the monkey-like appearance of a county official.

I couldn't hold back my laughter.

Zhang Luo looked at the embarrassing scene ahead.

Talking to himself:

"It seems that this new prefect is not simple!"

The little stunned Zhang Wangsheng asked on the side:

"What does Brother Zhang Luo mean by this?"

Zhang Changwei also turned his head to look at Zhang Luo.

Could it be that Zhang Luo has something to do with this prefect?

Zhang Luo looked at the puzzled expressions of several people on the side.

Said with a smile:

"It's also the first time I've seen a senior official in my life."

"But it seems that this new prefect is not a good man."

Zhang Luo saw a few who were still ignorant.

Explains:

"Generally, when new officials take office, they choose to arrive in the morning."

"There will be some official ceremonies to be carried out after entering the city."

"It is extremely rare for an official to arrive in the evening."

Zhang Wangsheng tilted his head and asked:

"Is this new prefect in a hurry?"

"That's why I'm so late."

张洛 says:

"When a new boss takes office, there will definitely be news from the officials in the city."

"If I had known that the prefect would arrive in the evening, I would have lined up in advance."

"How can you be in such a hurry?"

"It must be that the new prefect has changed the original time of entering the city."

"Hidden whereabouts, come ahead of schedule."

I see!

Zhang Changwei looked at Zhang Luo with admiration.

Zhang Luo actually relied on what he saw in front of him.

There are so many details that come to mind.

The reader is really wise!
