After struggling like this all afternoon, Liu Xing saw that the time was almost up, so he took Yin En back to Zhangjiamen and made an appointment to come to the teahouse to "work" tomorrow.
As for Ding Kun, who had already left the city, he said when he left that he would not go back tonight because the hunting team would conduct special night training. After all, night lighting these days relies on lanterns and oil lamps, so night hunting is more difficult than in the real world.
It's too high, so special training is necessary to ensure that you don't miss the opportunity when you encounter the Sky Fire Crow at night.
After leaving the tea house, Liu Xing and his wife walked south along the road and took a look at the scenery in Boyang City. They found it boring after a while, because it was not much different from the streets in many costume dramas.
Fortunately, the Cthulhu Running Game Hall has also "beautified" this street, because if it were 100% restored according to the real situation in ancient times, then Liu Xing and his wife would not come shopping.
.
Although the street sanitation situation in ancient China was much better than that in the distant West, at least the streets were not full of yellow and white people, but many small corners were still smelly. After all, there were no such things at this time.
What kind of public toilets, and at that time, there were special people who were responsible for collecting excrement and selling it to the countryside as fertilizer, so the toilet buckets of each household would be placed in the corner for the convenience of special people to collect them.
Moreover, illegal construction on the street was very common in ancient times. Especially those shops facing the street were basically expanded. The more honest approach was to build a shed, while the more ruthless approach was to lay bricks directly outside. Therefore, many streets were planned like
Five meters, in a few years it will be enough to accommodate two people walking relative to each other. This can be used as a reference for night markets in many places.
Therefore, the Cthulhu Run Game Hall did not restore reality in this aspect, and Liu Xing felt that he still had to give it a thumbs up.
As for Yin En, he was looking around at this time, but his eyes were not on the shops on both sides, but on the ground.
What's so cool about this?
Before Liu Xing could ask, Yin En said first: "Liu Xing, have you ever heard of something called a fish scale album?"
Liu Xing thought for a while and felt that the fish scale album sounded familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember what it was.
Seeing that Liu Xing did not answer, Yin En continued: "This fish scale atlas is a special atlas that appeared in the Ming Dynasty to record the number of acres. Its main purpose is to determine how many fields there are in each place and whether these fields are of good quality."
paddy fields or worthless saline-alkali land, are they connected together or fragmented? In short, the purpose of this fish scale album is to facilitate tax collection and inhibit land annexation; but Liu Xing, you should also know that officials and officials are two different concepts.
, and although this official cannot go up any higher, many things are managed by the official, such as this fish scale album."
"So a very strange situation often occurs, that is, newly appointed officials will take the initiative to establish good relations with some local old officials, especially those who have the fish scale album, because the fish scale album
The book is related to the issue of tax collection; the most important thing is that after passing through the hands of several generations, the fish scale album at this time is like the code of some old online games. If the new programmers do not have the experience of the old programmers,
If you teach him carefully, it may be difficult for him to take over the job, not to mention that these codes don’t even have comments.”…
"That's right, by the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the fish scale atlases in many places could only be understood by the officials in charge, because the annotations on them were like codes, and the only ones who knew how to decipher the codes were these officials.
, so if you are a local county magistrate, you can only rely on this official if you want to receive taxes; of course, the focus I want to say now is not the fish scale atlas, but something as important as the fish scale atlas.
, but I have forgotten its specific name, but its importance is actually no less than this fish scale atlas. This is the route map of the town's sewers."
"Sewers have actually appeared since humans began to build cities, because no one wants to repair a city with great difficulty, and then turn the city into a large swimming pool after a heavy rain, right? But in the early days, or until modern times,
Before society, urban sewers were what we modern people think of as sewers. Sewer pipes rarely appeared, and the quality of these sewer pipes was not very good, so they were easily damaged within a few years; therefore, the road map of this sewer pipe is also
Just like the fish scale album, it has become a family heirloom of some officials, because if there is a problem with the sewer, there will be many problems. The smell is not only second, but the most important thing is that it can easily make people living nearby sick.
."
Yin En pointed to both sides and said: "Logically speaking, sewers should be installed in places like these, because this is also the prosperous area and commercial center of Boyang City. However, we did not see sewers or sewers! So
What does this mean? It means that the sewers in Boyang City may also be closed underground pipes. Therefore, if there is no sewer route map, then you can only dig randomly based on your feeling. When the time comes, you want to solve a problem.
As a result, an area had to be dug up from bottom to top.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Xing knew that Yin En must have a bold idea.
Looking at Liu Xing who was smiling, Yin En said with a smile: "It seems that Liu Xing, you have already guessed what I am thinking! Yes, if we have a chance in the future, maybe we can find a way to remove the fish scales in certain places.
We got the booklet and the sewer route map. These two things can be said to be a kind of alternative killer weapons in ancient times. If used well, they can bring a lot of trouble to the opponent; if not, these two things can also bring us a lot of trouble.
The alliance brings a lot of income, especially the fish scale album, and the officials who control it are definitely wealthy, because the fish scale album is like a rooster that lays eggs."
"Well, let's not talk about whether this rooster can lay eggs for the moment. The main question is whether there is such a thing as a fish scale album in this new dragon empire?"
Although Liu Xing agrees with Yin En's idea, the problem is that he still doesn't know if there is such a thing as a fish scale album.
The emergence of fish scale atlases was mainly to facilitate tax statistics. In ancient times, it was very time-consuming and laborious to measure land. After all, just determining the amount and ownership of land in a township would be enough to keep people busy for several days, because there were so many
The land is irregular, so professionals are needed to calculate and draw pictures; but now that the new dragon empire has brought a martial arts buff, it is not easy to measure the land, and the enhanced version of Zhuzi Baijia will also use the new dragon empire
Some aspects of the empire have been upgraded to modern and even future levels, so in Liu Xing's opinion, the new dragon empire should not need a fish scale atlas, or a similar atlas.…
As for the sewer road map, Liu Xing thinks it is very interesting, because as long as there is a city's sewer road map, it will be too easy to cause damage, such as destroying the sewer near a residential area, then
Sewage will pollute nearby water sources, because in ancient residential areas not only every household had a well, but dozens of people around them shared one well.
"Hey, Liu Xing, don't you know this? When I was discussing with other players in the teahouse what industries our alliance should engage in, someone mentioned that Boyang City is preparing to re-measure the fields in some places recently, because
A heavy rain two years ago caused landslides, which buried many original fields. There are also new settlements like Junxiang, which we visited before, where outsiders live together, and the land they cultivated is not in the fish scale.
in the album, so when collecting taxes before, we could only collect an approximate amount! So I discussed it with some players and thought that we could earn the first pot of gold in the alliance through this fish scale album, and even get a good piece of it.
Union station."
Hearing what Yin En said, Liu Xing suddenly became excited, "Oh, this is a good idea, because the importance of this fish scale album is self-evident, and the official who has it will probably spend a lot of money to buy it back.
, but how do you get an alliance station with it?"
"The situation is like this. The fish scale atlas of the New Dragon Empire is actually more complete. In addition to recording field information, it also records woods, wasteland and other information. Therefore, the fish scale atlas is more like a
A map with complete information, so if we want to find an alliance camp outside the city in the future, unless we follow the example of the bandits and bandits in building a camp, we will definitely need to deal with Zeng Jin, who is in charge of the Fish Scale Atlas of Boyang City; this Zeng Jin
He is an old man in his sixties. In recent years, he has been preparing to teach the fish scale atlas to his apprentice, who is actually his son, because only the person who wrote the various secret words in the fish scale atlas knows what they are.
What do you mean, so Zeng Jin nominally had three apprentices, but he taught this code table to his son."
"So our breakthrough point this time is Zeng Jin's son - Zeng Rong. Zeng Rong is now in his thirties and usually idles around Boyang City. After all, he is essentially an unemployed person now.
Zeng Jin also ordered his other two apprentices to do things; so people like Zeng Rong like to drink and gamble, and his drinking capacity is not that good, and he often falls directly drunk in restaurants! Yes, before Meng Fugui
The restaurant is where Zeng Rong often hangs out, and another of Meng Fugui’s waiters, Lai Zi, is Zeng Rong’s fair-weather friend, so we worked it out with Lai Zi and it’s not difficult to find out the location of the fish scale album from Zeng Rong.
"
"This brings us back to the distilled liquor we have considered before! Although some wineries have been able to produce a low-alcohol version of distilled liquor, that is, the alcohol content has been raised to about 30 degrees, but going up will require more
We have professional equipment, and whether the high-strength liquor is our liquor or foreign whiskey, it needs to be cut off from the beginning to the end, because the wine produced at the beginning contains a lot of impurities, and drinking too much will cause problems; therefore,
There are a lot of distilled liquors on the market now, but they don’t have a good reputation because they often cause various problems. However, their taste is not comparable to those of low-alcohol liquors, so there is still a certain market.”…
"Although Zeng Rong can't drink much, this is what he likes, so we can take the right medicine and develop a true distilled wine, and then use this wine to plot against Zeng Rong and find a way to get the information from the fish scale album.
You must know that the players in this restaurant are also hidden dragons and crouching tigers. One of them, a player named Zhang Xin, used the character card before. He is a real psychology expert, so he has the confidence to cheat Zeng Rong when he is drunk.
After extracting information, a player named Shi Yi randomly entered the profession of Mr. Liang Shang."
"Oh? There are still such talents." Liu Xing said with a smile.
"The background of this stone artist is not simple. His master is the number one expert in the Wusheng Temple. Of course, the Wusheng Temple here worships not Mr. Guan Er, but Zhang Yu, the number one general under the new Dragon Emperor.
I guess the person who wrote the mod stitched Guan Yu and Zhang Fei together to create such a powerful general named Zhang Yu. His deeds can really be understood as the second master Guan and the third master Zhang.
The bound volume; as for the Wusheng Temple, although it is a place dedicated to Zhang Yu, it is actually the territory of the Beggar Clan, because the Beggar Clan in this martial arts module is also divided into the Dirty Clothes Sect and the Pure Clothes Sect. Among them, the Jingyi Sect
Pai took over the post of temple blessing of Wusheng Temple, so the Beggar Gang was able to settle near Wusheng Temple."
"Shi Yi was born as an orphan and was raised by his master. And his master is quite interesting. He suddenly came to Boyang City more than 20 years ago and joined the Beggar Gang. With one move
Miao Shou Kongkong soon became the elder of the Boyang City Beggar Clan, and is now the temple priest of Wusheng Temple. The reason why he adopted Shi Yi was because he felt that Shi Yi's hands were very suitable for passing on his professional skills; so Shi Yi felt
His master should come from a certain professional sect that is good at doing things, but these professional sects are now collectively referred to as heretics, the kind that cannot be promoted, and once discovered, they will be hunted down by the martial arts."
"Obviously, this Shi Yi may be one of the players who triggered the exclusive mission like Zhang Jingxu, because I think he is quite good-looking, and his looks are as good as mine in the real world, and he actually has some...
Technology, my money bag really changed from the left pocket to the right pocket without knowing it. You must know that I was sitting opposite the stone art at the time; in short, I believe that as long as there are no accidents, the stone art will be fine.
Take the fish scale atlas from Zeng Jin! You can even get the sewer route map, because Zeng Jin is responsible for managing the various atlases in Boyang City!"
"Well, this is a good idea, but how should we negotiate the price with Zeng Jin? I think Zeng Jin won't give up."
