On the first day that Xie Xun took office as the Kyoto Guard, he took the children of the aristocratic family to have fun in the Peony Building and stayed up all night. His romantic affairs seemed to have wings and flew all over Kyoto. The people who hoped that the young marquis could improve the Kyoto Guard were all disappointed.
Everyone said that the young Marquis has become a useless person and is no longer the brave and capable young general he once was.
Peony House is Feng Yu's property. Feng Yu has heard about it, so she is not surprised. Now she is more worried about the snow disaster in Kyoto. As she expected, hail started to fall that night, and it became more and more severe. How many houses are there in Feng Yu's mansion?
They were all damaged by hail. Feng Yu stayed up all night, and when she woke up she took people to Sanheng Street. She saw snow and damaged houses along the way, and her heart sank. Kyoto was hit hard, and the snowstorm was particularly heavy this year.
.Jing Zhaoyin sent people to fix the leak early in the morning, but the Kyoto guards were nowhere to be seen. These were things they were supposed to handle, but they never showed up.
Sanheng Street is at the junction of the south and east of the city, two wealthy neighborhoods. With the help of Jing Zhaoyin and the Forbidden Army, the north of the city will definitely be in chaos.
The Feng family has a weaving and dyeing workshop and a tea factory in the Liuheng neighborhood in the north of the city. The next street is the houses of ordinary people. Feng Yu knows that area better. Most of the men in the family have joined the army, and many of them are orphans and widowed mothers. The women usually live at home.
They work in a weaving and dyeing workshop to support their family. They are the hardest hit by natural disasters.
"Zhang Da, everyone from the escort agency will go to Liuheng Street. I'll let the people from the Chamber of Commerce count the supplies first."
"Yes!" Zhang Da took the order and left.
Chunlu was a little disappointed and said, "Why didn't you care about the young Marquis when he took over as the commander of the Kyoto Guard?"
"Chunlu, don't place your hopes on others. Besides..." Feng Yu felt depressed in her heart, "The young marquis has the same position and difficulties as the young marquis."
Feng Yu did not expect that Xie Xun would take over as the commander of the Kyoto Guard. This was a hot potato. Chun Lu said a very vivid metaphor, "Isn't this your noble son going to take care of a group of gangsters?"
Yes, in the eyes of the common people, the Kyoto Guards are a group of hooligans who bully the weak and fear the strong. They dare not compete with the powerful, but dare to fight with the people. In Feng Yu's eyes, the Kyoto Guards are just hooligans wearing official robes. They work with certificates and open the door to do business.
Every businessman has suffered losses from Kyoto Wei.
The imperial court also thought of ways to rectify and suppress it, but with little success. The Kyoto guards were difficult to control and had their own special reasons for being rough. In addition to Lin Xie, Li Zhang, Fang, Zhou and Cai, the seven great families in Yanyang, there were many princes and earls. The descendants of the descendants were like Lin Heli,
Fang Chuning and the three brothers of the Xie family are both talented and talented, which is rare.
Those who are slightly promising, such as Lin Sheng, join the Forbidden Army to gain experience and slowly climb up the ranks. Or they can take the imperial examination and work as part-time officials. The aristocratic family attaches great importance to the cultivation of descendants and is well aware that a prosperous family requires continuous accumulation.
Many families have a training system of survival of the fittest.
Those children and grandchildren who were abandoned by the family heads were rough-tempered and had no real abilities. They could only rely on the family and live in vain. Therefore, they would throw these abandoned children into the Kyoto Guard.
Most of the Kyoto Guards are civilians. These young men are raised in the prosperous Kyoto. They eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, use silks and satins, and sleep in splendid nests. Even if they are not as good as their peers in the family, they still think highly of themselves. In the Kyoto Guards
They formed a faction of their own. They were stubborn by nature and did not want to make progress, so the atmosphere of the Kyoto Guard gradually changed.
The common people in Kyoto Weili have the support of nobles from aristocratic families, just like the people at the bottom have power in their hands, and their desire for power is inflated and charming. They don't dare to offend the powerful, but the common people and merchants are not so polite, something is really going to happen.
Come, there are also children from aristocratic families who come to support and calm things down.
This team was a mixed bag of good and bad, and gradually became difficult to manage, becoming the most looked down upon in the Kyoto garrison.
Feng Yu will not provoke Kyoto Wei, the shopkeepers will manage the relationship, and the money Feng Yu sends to Kyoto Wei a year is not small. Recently, Lin Yuyan has made things difficult for Feng Yu, and Kyoto Wei has also become a thug, and gangsters are setting fire to the shop at night. Kyoto
Wei was also invisible. Feng Yu secretly thought that this team should be properly managed.
The Kyoto Guard Yamen is in the west of the city, and the Zhenbei Houfu is in the east of the city. The location is relatively remote. Xie Xun took Feiying, and the warm sun would pass through Liuheng Street in the north of the city. Hail fell in the night, and the houses were completely damaged. There were forbidden troops in the east of the city.
, people from the Ministry of Industry and Jing Zhaoyin were repairing, but in the north of the city, a group of women and old people gathered in the street and wailed, with broken walls and wounded people everywhere. Xie Xun was shocked to see it.
The Forbidden Army, the Ministry of Industry and the Jing Zhaoyin didn't send anyone, and even in such a big snowstorm, there was no sign of the Kyoto Guard.
Two old men were staggering in the snow carrying tiles. They suddenly slipped and fell into the snow. Seeing this, Xie Xun dismounted quickly. Fei Ying and Nuanyang also dismounted with Xie Xun to help the old man.
"Slow down, old man, are you injured?" Xie Xun helped the man up. He was nearly 70 years old, with gray hair on his temples. His dry and rough hands were blue and purple from the cold and covered with frostbite. Xie Xun was wearing the official uniform of the Kyoto Guard Commander.
The old man was extremely frightened and thanked him repeatedly. Xie Xun checked his bones and found that fortunately he was not injured.
But the calf was full of old wounds. Xie Xun had seen many veterans with such wounds. This was a veteran and a military household.
A large basket of tiles was too heavy and it was difficult for the old couple to carry it. Xie Xun asked Feiying and Nuanyang to help lift it. The old couple lived on the west side of Liuheng Street in the north of the city.
Nuanyang was lively, laughing, and had a childish face. The old man gradually felt relieved. Nuanyang asked, "Old man, where is your son? Why do you and your wife move such heavy tiles?"
"I went to Ningzhou to kill the enemy. There has been no news for two years. I don't know whether I am dead or alive." The old man's voice seemed particularly broken and pale in the wind and snow.
Xie Xun froze. The old man was a soldier. After he was seriously injured and went off the battlefield, his eldest son took over. After the eldest son died, his second son took over. Now only the youngest son is left, and he is also in Ningzhou.
This is the case for military households. One man from the family must serve in the army. All eight brothers of Zhenbei Marquis Xie Yuan died on the battlefield, and he was also the youngest son of the old Zhenbei Marquis.
The further you go, the more desolate you become, because it is a poverty-stricken area, the houses are densely packed, collapsed and damaged, women and children are helpless and begging, and the children are crying loudly, crying repeatedly.
There were very few men, and they were all repairing the houses. Children of seven or eight years old climbed on the roofs to help with the repairs. However, there were too many collapsed houses in this area, and countless residents were injured by beams and stones.
Nuanyang chatted with the old man and learned that most of Liuheng Street was traffickers and farmers. In recent years, taxes have become heavier. In order to make a living, most of the men in the family joined the army and relied on meager military pay to support their families. Therefore, there are mostly women, children, and the elderly in this area.
When faced with a natural disaster, there is nothing you can do. After the house collapses, you can only wait for repairs.
"Didn't the Forbidden Army, the Ministry of Industry and the Kyoto Guard send anyone to repair it?" Nuan Yang asked in surprise. The Forbidden Army was all over the streets in the east of the city, and they were all helping.
"The lives of the poor are as thin as grass. During the three-year snowstorm, no one cared about us except the girls." The old man's eyes were red. "We are thankful that the Kyoto Guards don't come here to cause trouble."
Nuanyang, "..."
