Chapter 158: The emperor is not as good as my little Taiwan
Leaving Tianjin, the coastal river headed for Beiping.
When Yan Changwu arrived in Peiping, he had no major affairs. He ruled the king in Taiwan, but he did not know anyone in this capital. Because he came secretly, he could not come to meet with a greeting card, so he was a high official in the capital. The boss is not a single one.
I really want to see him, the big guys will definitely see him... for his money.
His old servant Zhang, after he got the official position, soaked in the city of Beiping to manage him. The old servant's mouth was as smooth as oil, and he resorted to methods to clear the way for the money, and the gifts were delivered to his home.
The big bosses and prominent officials in the cabinet, the staff, and the Ministry of War all took bribes from the Southeast Mansion, and they all spoke for him.
For example, in the construction of Taiwan, it is customary to appoint officials from the mainland to serve in Taiwan. However, the court has been slow to notice. Uncle Gein Zhang preached that Taiwan is a place where savages live, and the people are strong and do not obey discipline. Obedient, mainly carry a whip and a machete with him, hit him if he refuses to agree, and kill if he dares to resist, before he can keep the place under control.
The environment is harsh, the miasma is deep, and the typhoon is raging, it is a **** on earth.
Say it like this, will Fujian officials expose him?
Not at all!
Otherwise, Taiwan’s rule is overwhelming, wouldn’t it mean that Fujian officials are all useless!
Officials in Fujian officialdom know what is going on with Taiwan Guardian. They will definitely not be able to get in there. Maybe Taiwan Guardian and the mainland quarrel, then Yan Changwu will take them to sacrifice the flag, so they don’t want to go to Taiwan Guardian. (Unless you want to be a thief)
While news of Taiwan comes from the court officials, how can officials everywhere be interested?
In addition, the big guy didn't speak, so Taiwan Wei was so comfortable, and after Jian Wei, no one bothered.
Emperor Chongzhen, no matter how wise and martial, could not hold back his courtiers from collaborating with him. In addition, he worries a lot and doesn't think about Taiwan.
……
In that period, the city of Peking was the first good place. At the feet of the emperor, Yan Changwu went to Peking because he wanted to go sightseeing.
His predecessor was a map editor. He likes to travel and sightseeing. Then he writes some donkey travel diaries in order to defraud the manuscript fee. It’s a pleasure -_-
When he got there, it was raining and he was speechless.
Don’t look at Beiping’s name for an imperial capital. After the rain, it became a big quagmire and a big pit!
Beiping, until the fall of the Empire, there were not many masonry roads, almost all dirt roads. When it is dry, the wind blows the soil and fills the city with loess; when it rains and snows, it becomes muddy and filthy.
Jinling Nanjing has an advantage, a large number of roads inside have been converted into masonry pavement.
That's the same. There is a lot of rain in the south. If it is a dirt road, there are three hundred and sixty-five days a year and there are three hundred days of travel. Everyone won't have to live.
Beiping City, that's it.
One of the first seven sons of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Tingxiang, who had served as the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, said: "When I went out of the street after the rain yesterday, a new person walked from the ash factory to Chang'an Street. His shoes were transferred to the capital, becoming muddy and muddy, even if they were touched, no more regrets."
This passage means that when you go out after the rain, when you walk from Chengnan Ash Factory to Chang'an Avenue, the road conditions are good. You can choose a clean road to avoid the mud, but once you enter the capital, the ground is muddy and you can’t avoid it. .
In addition to mud, there is also garbage dumping. There is a book that records: "The things that people cleaned are all poured out of the door. The ashes of the stove and the ceramic shavings are piled up like a mountain. The street is higher than the house for more than ten years, and people follow the ranks, like falling into a pit. Valley."
Yes, the garbage from the house was swept out and piled on the road. As a result, the road in the city was higher than the houses on both sides. It was almost 3 meters per foot, which was equivalent to a floor.
is almost like a dam on the Yellow River that has become a river above the ground.
It's okay if it's ashes, broken tiles, etc. Anyway, it's buried with the loess. The real problem... is feces.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Longzheng, who was a member of Zhongshushe, scolded northerners like this: "The northern land is filthy and filthy, especially the capital. It is naked in the daytime, not avoiding the officials, and is indecent. The villains learn to each other and secretly respect. Heart.” This passage is put in a popular way: “In this ghost place in the north, there are feces and urine everywhere on the road. This is especially true in the capital of Beijing. When the pants are taken off in the daytime, they are scattered on the street. Even our officials are in the street. It’s still as unscrupulous as before, not ashamed, and learning one by one, without any shame!"
In addition to the city appearance of that period, it was amazing. A large number of poor people built shack outside the imperial city. Commercial activities were very lively but quite messy.
……
In catching up with what we saw in the good season, Yan Changwu is okay. He has seen too many similar places, such as the slums of Asan Mumbai (the second in the world and the first in Asia), the slums of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and the refugees from Turkey. Ying, that is really a **** on earth, compared to those places, Beiping is considered better.
And the people of Chen Hebin, Zhang Shouyun, and Yan Tian who came with him were stunned to see the "victory ~www.wuxiaspot.com~" in Beiping City. Yan Changwu seemed to hear a lot of broken glass hearts.
The Fujian Guild Hall they were going to vote for was muddy in the past and the carriage could not get in. They had to get out of the cart. They stepped on the mud, one foot deep and one shallow foot. They almost didn’t nail their boots in the mud. They accidentally got thundered. There was a stinking odor, and the smeller almost nauseated. Chen Hebin stammered: "This, this is the imperial capital?!"
He heard that Yan Changwu was going to Peiping, and he came to join in the fun, unexpectedly he saw such a ghost place!
Yan Changwu said dryly: "Yes, this is the imperial capital!"
Everyone can't help but think of Taiwan. After years of construction, the city is impressive, all hard-bottomed, smooth and beautiful roads, clean and tidy, well organized, even if heavy rain comes, it can be discharged immediately, and the streets are not flooded.
Just kidding, Yan Changwu has allocated a lot of human and material resources for nothing.
The conscience of the city is the sewer. Yan Changwu heard the calluses of the sewers made by the Germans in Qingdao. Once he had the opportunity to do municipal construction, how could he not devote himself to a century-old plan!
At this point, the imperial capital is less than me, Wei Yuan from Taiwan!
They looked at Young Master Yan who was walking in front of them, and their admiration grew spontaneously!
Before, everyone generally had a sense of inferiority. After all, everyone went to Taiwan after fleeing a famine. They followed a young leader who said that people who bluntly eat more salt than rice. How much can he have?
Many people wait and see, but it is a stopgap measure, thinking that when the famine is over, they will go back to live in their hometown.
But when everyone comes into contact with the mainland more, they have a clearer understanding of Taiwan.
There is no harm if there is no comparison, our place is no worse than other places!
Taiwan is our hometown!
