In the smelly and dark room, sunlight shines in through the small window, and dust is flying.
The two memories slowly merged, making Zhang Wu understand that his soul had traveled through time.
Now he is a glorious——
"jailer?"
The young man breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s not the beginning of hell after all.
Much better than those brothers who dress up as death row prisoners and wait to die in prison.
Sorting through the memories in his mind, before he was thankful enough, his face turned pale.
"Two hundred and ninety-eight years of the Dakun Dynasty."
"The barbarians marched northward, and all twenty-seven counties in the south fell."
"The army will soon reach the capital?"
For a moment, the child wanted to die.
In a feudal dynasty, it is almost a rule that the duration of the country should not exceed three hundred years.
He actually traveled to the end of the dynasty.
It would take at most half a month for a barbarian force of 100,000 troops to descend upon the city. The capital's defenders only had 20,000 troops. How could they resist it?
With the brutal violence of the barbarians, even if the city is not massacred, women will not have an easy time.
"Mom, why don't you follow the example of those wealthy people who fled and packed up their bags and left?"
Zhang Wu gritted his teeth and thought, making his already thin face look paler.
However, compared to the troubled times outside, this Tianlao seems to be a pure land.
Even if the barbarians came in and burned, killed and looted, they would first rob the rich and then rush to the palace. Only those with a sick mind would come to a place where there is no money or water like Tianlao.
This was basically the case in ancient times.
Even if you change the dynasty and burn down the whole city, it will hardly affect the jailer.
After you finish fighting, no matter who becomes the emperor, once the prison door is opened, at most the leaders who manage the prison will be replaced, and the jailers at the bottom will continue to do whatever they are supposed to do.
"The situation is not too bad."
Zhang Wu stood up and patted the dust on his body and found that the prison uniform had faded after washing.
This is the public uniform passed down by the cheap daddy, which means that the son inherits the father's legacy.
Five generations of the Zhang family have been jailers in Tianlao, but unfortunately they are all short-lived.
One theory is that there is no daylight in the prison and the yin energy is too strong. If you stay in prison all year round, your life will naturally be short.
The second theory is that the jailers have poor moral character and abuse prisoners all year round, just like ghosts who have their own ghosts seeking their lives.
So my father died of illness last month at the age of thirty-one.
My mother also suffered from dystocia during childbirth. The family followed the concepts of the times and unanimously approved the childbirth plan and never got out of bed.
Without a father or a mother, his whole family was dead, which made Zhang Wu feel relieved again.
Orphans are the standard equipment for time-travelers to become great players!
Now it depends on how you want to rise.
If you study politics, history and geography well, the easiest way to rise is to join a big shot!
Standing on the shoulders of giants can save you decades of hard work.
If you are good at finance and have a little money in your hands, you can buy high and sell low, quickly monopolize an industry, and gain huge profits.
If your eloquence is good enough, you can package whatever you want, engage in pyramid schemes, and attract people...
Although it is a bit unethical, in the primitive accumulation stage of capital, it is understandable to use some low-level methods.
For time-travelers, money has never been a problem!
Zhang Wu believes that with his knowledge across the ages, even without a system, he is enough to make a difference in this world.
However, the system can be dispensed with, but the welfare of the travelers cannot be reduced.
"Is this how you live forever?"
Zhang Wu was stunned for a long time, accepting the memory that appeared inexplicably in his mind.
Not only does he have endless longevity, but his physical fitness can also be comprehensively improved once a year, which is equivalent to adding one to all attributes.
That is to say.
As long as you don't die and live longer, you will be invincible in the world and invincible in heaven in the future!
"Xiao Wu, what are you so stunned about? Are you in a daze?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the cell. It was Ma Liu, the jailer who had the strongest relationship with Cheap Daddy. He was tall and strong.
Both families have been jailers for generations and have been friends for generations. They are ready to eat this iron rice bowl until death.
For Zhang Wu to successfully take over at such a young age, in addition to using money from his superiors, the help of the jailers was also crucial.
After all, we have to work together in the future and encountering difficult colleagues is completely asking for trouble.
Zhang Wu hurriedly ran forward and answered:
"Uncle Six."
"Let's go, I'll take you to get to know the prisoners. Some of them can't be messed with, some of them are stuffed with money, and some of them require severe punishment. You should keep this in mind in the future."
Ma Liu patted Zhang Wu's shoulder affectionately and led him towards the prison.
Pass through the spacious prison cell and walk through two doors, each of which must be closed to prevent prisoners from escaping.
After that, a long corridor disappeared into the dark end, with smelly low prison cells on both sides.
In the first room, there was an old man whose face was covered in blood and his eyes were stabbed blind. He passed out in the corner and must have died.
Ma Liu was used to seeing all kinds of prisoners, and asked calmly:
"Do you know what this guy committed?"
"I don't know."
Zhang Wu shook his head honestly.
Ma Liu explained:
"This guy is a semi-immortal from the Jianghu. After many years of hard work, he has become a world-famous counselor. He knows everything like a god and knows all the plans, so he was invited to the palace."
"Is this a perfect strategy?"
Zhang Wu said blankly:
"Then why did it end up like this?"
"If you are too smart and know too many secrets, you are most likely to die."
"..."
Zhang Wu trembled all over and almost fell to the ground with his legs weak.
Ma Liu gave him a hand and said with concern:
"Your body is too weak. You should exercise more when you have nothing to do. Don't imitate your father who drinks alcohol all day long."
"I understand Uncle Six."
Zhang Wu nodded guiltily and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
After walking back a few cells, he suddenly heard heart-rending screams and whipping sounds, which made his scalp numb.
But Ma Liu was not surprised and said:
"The person who was sentenced is a well-known wealthy family in the capital. In the past two years, he has made a lot of speculation and saved a huge family fortune. As a result, he was careless on the road and broke the porcelain pot of the son of General Weiyuan. He said that it was a gift from the great ancestor. He wanted to
He paid fifty thousand taels in compensation, but when he couldn't get the money back, he had no choice but to be thrown into prison."
Ignoring Zhang Wu's stunned look, Ma Liu said with a ferocious smile:
"Actually, everyone knows that the porcelain pot is fake, but they are just looking for excuses to blackmail people. But who gave his family so much money?"
Uncle Six shook the sluggish Zhang Wu vigorously and said with some excitement:
"This is a fat job. As long as the money is 'beaten', Mr. Wei will get 60%. We can get 40% and divide the profit. We can get fifty taels at least. We can eat meat tonight.
."
Unconsciously, a layer of fine beads of sweat covered Zhang Wu's entire back, making him feel chilled all over and his heart was freezing.
Money is something you can't just earn if you want to.
Even if you have 10,000 ways to make a fortune, you can't stop the jealousy of the rich and powerful.
Things were better in the prosperous age, and the laws were strict.
But this is a time of great chaos!
The rich and powerful are just waiting for you to get rich.
Years of hard work are just a wedding dress for the powerful.
Son of a general, dealing with you, a powerless jailer, is not as easy as killing a chicken?
The barbarians are about to invade, and these powerful children are still intoxicated and exploiting the people. It really feels like "business girls don't know the hatred of the country's subjugation, but they are still singing in the backyard across the river."
"It's just that the family has a lot of money. If the secret recipe for brewing wine and salt is found out, it will make you rich and prosperous for generations to come. That's not a trick. Even if the barbarians don't come, the nobles in the city will lead the servants.
The army violently breaks down your door and kills your whole family!"
At this point, Zhang Wu lost all his ambitions. He just wanted to be his jailer and live a stable life for a few years first.
