One hundred and ten, you ask that the return date is not yet due
The weather in Wuhang City has cleared up for a few days, and the remaining snow outside the city has also gradually melted away. Only a few hidden places can occasionally see the remnants. The wind in the alleys and halls has also softened slightly. In addition, the government offices set up
The porridge shed seemed to have changed in the past two days. Fifty to sixty percent of the hungry people outside the city had some porridge water on their mouths, so there were fewer people trying to cause trouble and entering the city.
A few days ago, fifty people from Tianfu Yamen and Chengmenwei were sent to carry the hungry corpses outside the city. Compared with the previous hard work of working day and night without sleep, it was relatively leisurely now. They only had to walk around the city in the morning and evening.
Of course, there are still dead people outside, but the number is insignificant compared to before.
After the mass graves in the east of the city were filled with the poor people from Wuhang City and the hungry people from Huizhou and Suzhou, Mr. Du, a wealthy businessman in Wuhang City, took pity on so many unknown corpses and had nowhere to bury them, so he gave up his hundred acres in the south of the city.
A cemetery was built on the wasteland, and a wealthy family donated 5,000 taels of silver to purchase a thousand thin-skinned coffins for him to rest underground.
Mr. Du, who made his fortune in just over ten years by relying on a salt and iron business, had little foundation. He had always been despised by the city's aristocratic families and did not bother to associate with them. As soon as the idea of setting up a memorial tomb was announced, it won praise from the whole city.
He was accepted by a noble family in Wuhang City, and the wealthy man who donated silver also used this to open up many business opportunities. He donated five thousand taels of silver and earned even more than fifty thousand taels.
The carriage of the man in white finally approached the not-so-glorious governor's mansion, showing that this high-ranking official in Jiangzhou and one of the state's frontiers was a breeze.
The coachman who was called Ah Wu jumped out of the car. This man, who was actually responsible for guarding the man in white as he traveled across various states, reached under the car and pulled some mechanism. The driver made countless passers-by look at the carriage sideways.
After lowering the steps, he stepped out of the car and was welcomed in by the governor's mansion, which opened the central door.
The servants of the Governor's Mansion were about to lead the carriage, and the four sacred horses that were used as draft horses suddenly became violent. The man no longer dared to go up. Ah Wu, who was about to enter the Governor's Mansion with the man in white, turned around to see him.
The helpless servant thought of something, so he grabbed the horse's mane and punched the four horses' necks four times. The four horses, which were still unruly just now, neighed in pain and were hit again.
In human hands, it is more docile than any draft horse.
Jiangzhou Governor's Office occupies twenty acres of land in Wuhang City, where land is extremely valuable. The front yard is used for official business and the backyard is for people to live in. The man in white was led through the front yard by the steward of the Governor's Office. Only two or three people were seen along the way.
I just remembered this place
A leisure time once every ten days.
Compared with the previous dynasties, the administration of officials in the Yao Dynasty was stricter, and they had more leisure days after official duties. "Ten days off to take a bath and visit relatives" was a rule set by the founding emperor Taizu. Only when war started
There is no exception at this time. It is said that the last emperor of the Yao Dynasty wanted to support his integrity with generous salary, but all the states and counties in the territory spread the joke of "Three years of clearing the governor, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver". The ending was not as expected by the world, it was grand.
The building was overthrown by Emperor Taizu, who had a humble beginning. Dynasties changed, and the country changed hands.
How easy is it to be an official without being corrupt? This has been the case in all dynasties, and Yao was also among them. But fortunately, the current monarchs are wise and the ministers are in their proper place. Although they have minor illnesses, they do not harm their dignity.
The man in white was bored and thought of the food in the north. The roasted lamb didn't taste the slightest bit of odor, and when he cut it with a knife and put it into his mouth, it tasted fresh and sweet. The herdsmen gathered around the campfire and sang pastoral songs, with rough voices that seemed to spread.
When he reached the stars in the sky, the wine was so strong that it seemed to burn through his throat. After only one sip, he turned red and coughed, causing the old herdsmen beside him to point at him and laugh. The drunken men wrestled.
, fell down and couldn't get up, so he fell asleep on the grass. These people helped him capture the king of all horses on the grassland, including the four horses.
Ah Wu behind him kicked the leg of the man in white, and then he remembered that this was in the governor's mansion in Wuhang City, Jiangzhou. At the banquet hosted by the governor for him, the singing girl nearby was babbling Wu Nong's soft words and those
It's like a herdsman's throat that has been brushed with a hair brush. It's so sweet that you can sink into it, and you can't help but float up and down.
The fourth-grade feudal official raised a glass to him. The famous porcelain cup contained years of aging. Everyone at the table toasted to the man in white, perhaps not only to the man in white, but also to him as the head of the family.
The aristocratic family, the only business-based family in Wuhang City.
During the three years when the head of the family went out to visit the great rivers and mountains of Dayao's Sixteen Prefectures, the family quieted down, but it was still a giant that everyone in Jiangzhou could not underestimate, and it was temporarily sleeping.
The man in white, who had no choice but to make some gesture, also raised his glass and drank it in one gulp after facing the high-ranking officials in the row in Wuhang City during the banquet. The so-called aged wine was actually lighter than the wine brewed by the herdsmen, which made him
He couldn't help but laugh, and the people at the banquet mistakenly thought that he was happy because the wine was so good, so some of them bluntly offered twenty jars of this wine as gifts, but the man in white politely declined.
A floor dragon was laid under the dining room, which burned the hall
As warm as spring, the dancer's plump breasts were looming in a veil, and she rubbed the man in white's back intentionally or unintentionally, expecting to be chosen by this young master for a romantic night, but found that he was not moved at all, and felt a little resentful.
He then moved closer to the well-dressed old man standing next to the charming young man in white. After a moment, a hand with exposed veins reached into the gauze.
Jiangzhou's civil and military officials were notoriously discordant, so there were only civil servants, big and small, to accompany them during the banquet. Soon these men, mostly gray-haired men, got drunk, hugged the disheveled dancer next to them and walked to the back room, doing
Something that men know very well.
The only people left at the table were the Jiangzhou governor who was not even half drunk and the half-drunk man in white. The latter was not drunk because he had a fair amount of alcohol, while the former was because his glass was just water from beginning to end.
There's no way you'll get drunk.
All the singing girls and dancers had retired, as well as the serving maids and Ah Wu. The only ones left at the table were the man in white and the governor of Jiangzhou.
Then there was a long conversation for two hours. By the time the man in white got into the carriage, he had already sobered up from the wine, but the governor of Jiangzhou seemed to be very drunk.
The next day, all the large and small granaries in Wuhang City were opened to help the hungry people outside the city. The same was true for all the counties in Jiangzhou, and the same was true for the grain stores and rice shops.
In the final analysis, the reason is nothing more than what the man in white said to the Jiangzhou governor before leaving the governor's house.
No more people should starve to death in Jiangzhou.
The carriage went to Rouge Lane and then left Wuhang City. The head of the Qin family in Jiangzhou had returned from a tour and was going to inspect his property. As for when the Jiangzhou governor asked when he would return to Wuhang City, it was not yet scheduled.
