Chapter 558 The funeral of the loyal minister IF Qin Leyin one
Many years later, when Jing Zhengtang, the great entrepreneur of Morningwind, started drafting his autobiography, he would definitely think of that trip to Yanjing to attend the funeral. It was a hot afternoon, when he and his wife Feiwei took the "Star-Carved-Yanjing"
"Beijing" express train arrived in Yanjing. From the moment the train stopped, everyone hurriedly escaped from the teppanyaki seats and the steamer-like carriage, and poured into Yanjing Chongsheng Station with sweat on their backs.
It was the worst of times and the best of times, and it was an era before air conditioning.
Fortunately, there is a small shop in the station. The most popular iced drink in the store is naturally the "Five Flower Coke" produced by the Steam Chamber of Commerce, and it is packaged in a glass bottle that is particularly rare in Morrowind. You must put the glass bottle back after drinking.
Although the steam merchant guild's glass products have long been popular and the price is so low that even beggars can use glass bowls to beg for food, Jing Zhengtang can't help but be surprised that small shops actually use glass bottles to sell drinks - the people of Yanjing are already rich.
Can you steal glass bottles?
Jing Zhengtang actually didn't like sweet drinks, but the sun was too hot. When a sip of the ice drink ran down his throat and cooled his whole body, Jing Zhengtang suddenly felt like he was alive.
He looked around, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then coughed repeatedly.
"As expected of Yanjing, even the air is filled with the sweet smell of the factory..." Jing Zhengtang rubbed his nose, and Fei Wei took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead first, and then wiped Jing Zhengtang's sweat.
After falling in love for many years, although Fei Wei still has a bad temper in private, she will never embarrass Jing Zhengtang outside.
After finishing packing, the two of them went to line up to leave the station, and were required to undergo an identity check before leaving the station. When they arrived at Jingzhengtang, they took out the identity certificates they had prepared: a two-page, four-fold document with "" printed on the first page on the front.
"Huiyao Resident Identity Card", below is the holder's location, name, gender, date of birth, nationality, serial number, date of issuance, and the seal stamped by the local patrol department. The next three pages register his occupation and black and white photo
, parents, children, itinerary and other information, including almost all his personal information.
Although there are still many people who have not applied for ID cards. After all, black and white photos are a huge threshold, but the identity certificate is linked to the right to use the train. Especially for the train to Yanjing, it is absolutely impossible to get on the train without an ID card. Therefore, Jingzhengtang
The couple applied for their ID cards early and spent a lot of money to take their photos at the only "Eternal Moment" photo studio in Xingke County where you can take photos at your own expense.
They even used photos to apply for a marriage certificate. Their marriage certificate was the first marriage certificate in Morrowind District. This is the most valuable money Jing Zhengtang has spent in the past few years, second only to his support for Star Engraved White Night.
——Fei Wei was happy for this certificate for several days.
If you don't pay at your own expense, you will have to wait for the patrol department's photo studio to slowly queue up. Even if the Steam Chamber of Commerce has increased the production capacity of cameras as much as possible, you will have to wait for at least another year.
It can be seen from this that those who can have identity documents now either have connections with the Patrol Department or have the ability to make money.
"Jing Zhengtang, Jing Feiwei..."
The black-clothed officer from the Population Supervision Department of the Patrol Division glanced at their ID cards and asked while registering: "What do you want to do with your visit to Yanjing? Just a few words, visit relatives, work, sightseeing?"
Jing Zhengtang hesitated for a moment: "I accepted my friend's invitation and came to see him."
"That is to visit relatives. You can only stay for a maximum of thirty days. Once it exceeds thirty days, regular hotels are not allowed to continue to accept your stay. When you choose to leave by train or other national transportation, you also need to explain why you stayed longer. But
If you find a job, you can go to the nearest patrol department with the certificate from your workplace to extend your temporary stay to one year." The officer in black spoke like a blunderbuss and said a long paragraph of tips. On the ID card
Write today's date in the "Itinerary" on the fourth page, then take out a stamp and print "30 days" in red on top of the handwritten date.
"Go forward along the passage and look at the signs to guide you out."
Jing Zhengtang lowered his head and said, "Thank you, thank you for your hard work." As he said this, he secretly handed over a purple treasure ticket with "Huiyao People's Bank" printed on it.
In fact, Huiyao has already had a gold bank, such as the Silver Blood Gold Bank in Dongyang, the Linhai Gold Bank in Chenfeng, and the Hunter Gold Bank in Canglan... But gold banks are often owned by local capitalists, aristocratic families, and officials, and gold banks
The main service target is also local residents. Although there is also paper currency, most of the time it is necessary to 'pay with face', and the person's vote must be combined into one before money can be given. Transactions between districts still have to go through gold yuan and loose money.
Naturally, there is a bank in Yanjing. It was a commercial bank opened by the Ministry of Accounts of the Imperial Court. However, after the Queen's accession to the throne and the reforms, it became the People's Bank. Thanks to the new anti-counterfeiting technology "Holy Light Seal" created by Yan Yi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, the People's Bank
The leaked treasure tickets can be checked and falsified in the simplest way: bask in the sun. The treasure tickets that will appear dazzlingly bright under the sun are authentic, otherwise they are false.
This kind of anti-counterfeiting technology is almost impossible to crack in this era, and it is said that it still uses the power of the sacred sword "Holy Sword Glory". Not to mention that the authority of the imperial court is unprecedentedly high, and there are three consecutive years of bumper harvests in the granary as a guarantee for the redemption of treasure tickets.
Therefore, once the Holy Light Treasure Ticket was launched, it won the trust of countless people.
There are four kinds of treasure tickets: gold, purple, blue and black. The black treasure ticket costs 1 yuan, the blue treasure ticket costs 10 yuan, the purple treasure ticket costs 100 yuan, and the gold treasure ticket costs 1,000 yuan. Gold yuan is no longer used as a regular currency.
In today's world where a family can eat and drink three delicious meals a day for only a dozen dollars, the value of a purple ticket is self-evident.
Sure enough, after the black-clothed operator took away the purple treasure ticket, the fatigue and indifference on his face disappeared, and he smiled and said: "Going along the passage is the welcome hall. If someone picks you up, they will definitely wait for you there. If not,
They will welcome you, and you will find the bus station when you continue out. I recommend you take bus No. 11 directly to Sheyang Street, which is the center of Yanjing and has many hotels and restaurants. Although it is not cheap, it will definitely not deceive people from other areas."
To be honest, just this sentence "I won't deceive people from other areas" is already worth a purple treasure ticket. If you accidentally stay in one of those black-hearted hotels and get defrauded out of your money, it will be the worst thing to make you angry during this trip.
.
Jing Zhengtang thanked him again and took Fei Wei's hand as he walked along the passage. As expected, he saw a huge plaque saying "Yanjing welcomes you".
At this time, Fei poked his waist slightly and pointed to a service desk with a flag hanging in the hall. The flag read: "Guests with farewell invitations please come here to register."
There was actually a blue-and-black operator and three black-clothed operators sitting at the service desk. Passengers who didn't know the truth secretly looked sideways and had various fantasies about the 'farewell invitation'.
Fei Wei stared at Jing Zhengtang. Jing Zhengtang shook his head slightly and led her quickly out of the welcome hall carrying her luggage. She came to the crowded bus stop, lined up to get on the No. 11 bus, and quickly entered the main station while swaying.
urban area.
On the way, Jing Zhengtang saw people wearing fast knife boots passing by from time to time outside the window. Within a few minutes, there were no less than a dozen people. He couldn't help but said: "There must be too many fast walkers."
"Coming from outside the district?"
The short-haired woman sitting in front of him turned around and said something with interest, but then explained with a smile: "I don't mean anything else, but people from other areas often misunderstand because there are too many speed walkers here. In fact, they don't."
So dangerous."
"Isn't it dangerous?" Jing Zhengtang asked: "They are faster than cars, and they dare to shuttle freely on the road. If they accidentally hit each other, it would be okay to break their hands, feet and feet, but once the body is thrown out and hit,
, the internal organs will be shaken into minced meat by the energy, and you will bleed directly from the seven holes and die on the road. You may even hit your head and explode like a winter melon... I have seen many people die on this, and the death is ugly."
"Although they seem to be traveling around, they actually abide by certain rules. They can only speed on the road and never run onto the sidewalk." The short-haired woman said, "And if you want to buy civilian sharp knife boots, you must undergo certain training.
And you have to buy a helmet and go on the road, otherwise if you are caught by the people from the Traffic Department of the Patrol Department, your Speed Knife Boots will be confiscated directly - that is a loss that ordinary people cannot afford."
"Of course, these measures can't prevent accidents, but at least they can prevent them from dying on the spot. As long as they don't die on the spot, people next to them can rescue them, and medical lawsuits have great discounts for patients with serious traffic injuries.
You'll be alive in half a month."
"Compared with the casualty rate in traffic accidents, the improvement in traffic efficiency brought by the Speedy Knife Boots is much higher." The short-haired woman said: "The area outside the city can develop rapidly in just a few years. With the rapid development of the Speedy Knife Boots,
Popularization is inseparable from connections. It would be a huge waste to use something like this only for war, but using it for the people can free them from the constraints of the land and expand their possibilities."
Jing Zhengtang said: "But to let the people be bound by the land, isn't it a national policy that has been shining for thousands of years?"
"There is a sentence in Youth Daily that says this," the short-haired woman said: "This is a change that has not happened in two thousand years."
"The Western Continent has taken the lead in developing the New World. If Huiyao continues to stand still and maintain the policy of weakening and obscuring the people, sooner or later foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes will open the country and gradually encroach on it. We are already a step too slow, and we can only do it at all costs.
Chase after him."
"It's just that this step is too big." Jing Zhengtang said quietly: "The changes in the past few years are greater than those in the past hundred years."
"Life is short." The short-haired woman said softly: "After all, people are too fragile. They may disappear suddenly at some point."
Jing Zhengtang's expression did not change, he raised his hands and said, "Thank you, Miss, for answering the question. I don't know what I want to ask for? I know everything I can say."
"Sorry, I just thought you looked a lot like one of my subordinates, so I couldn't help but talk to you." The short-haired woman smiled.
"I wonder if Miss is..."
"My surname is Liu, my given name is Yue Yan." Liu Yue Yan said, "I have been working in Dongyang in the past few years."
"It turns out he is the Dongyang patrol inspector!" Jing Zhengtang suddenly realized: "I look very similar... Do you know my half-brother Jing Zhengfeng? I am Jing Zhengtang, and this is my wife Fei Wei."
"You guys are really brothers." Liu Yueyan: "Jing Zhengfeng is getting married next month, did you know?"
"I don't know." Jing Zhengtang smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, I haven't contacted him for a long time."
"Since it's your family matter, I can't say anything, but I still suggest you go to his wedding banquet." Liu Yueyan said with a smile, "He is a child who longs for the warmth of family."
"I'll think about it."
When the bus stopped, the conductor loudly announced the name of the station. Liu Yueyan said goodbye and left: "I'll leave first. I wish you a pleasant time in Yanjing."
Jing Zhengtang watched her back until the bus started, his face became a little gloomy.
Until they parted, Liu Yueyan didn't ask him why he came to Yanjing. Was he not interested, or was he...predicted?
When the bus arrived at Sheyang Street Station, Jing Zhengtang took Fei Wei off and got off. Even though they were both experienced people, they were confused by the bustling Sheyang Street: the street was wide enough to accommodate six cars.
Cars were driving side by side, shops on both sides were lined with hawkers, and people were rushing in.
Moreover, the shops here are dazzling and each has its own characteristics. For example, after walking two steps in Jingzhengtang, he saw a "card trading" shop. The walls inside were covered with character cards that came with the "Wushuang List", and there were all of them below.
The sale price was so high that Jing Zhengtang suspected that the buyer was not smart enough.
However, there is also a card acquisition announcement next to it. The lowest purchase price is one Sapphire Ticket, and the highest purchase price is 50 Gold Tickets. The reward is naturally the bonus of the first unparalleled list. Quan Huiyao only has nine flash cards.
'War Ghost' Blue Flame!
After asking where the nearest hotel was, when walking over, Jingzhengtang also found that there were many card rooms in Yanjing. You only need to pay a small amount of money to play cards in them for a whole day. The store will provide standard packages and wind packages.
, Lin Bao, "Wushuang Kill" has a complete military package, and will also help set up card games, including eight-person games, five-person games, and three-person games. This makes Jing Zhengtang, who has just become obsessed with Wushuang Kill recently, can't help but feel a little clumsy.
itch.
But he still remembered the main purpose of his trip. He quickly came to the hotel, registered for a room with his ID card, put away his luggage and closed the doors and windows. At this time, Feiwei finally couldn't help but asked: "Isn't there anyone at Chongsheng Station to receive us?
?Why don’t you go?”
"Do you still remember why we came?"
"Isn't it because you received the invitation that you came to attend Qin Leyin's funeral?"
"Yes." Jing Zhengtang said: "But do you think Qin Leyin is the kind of person who is willing to die peacefully? He is the 'hidden phase' Qin Leyin, the third recorder of the White Night Party, and Quan Huiyao's
Businessmen and officials from aristocratic families became the 'price' in his 'at any cost' plan, and he was a conspirator who played with Hui Yao in his hands!"
Fei Wei has been helping her husband run the chamber of commerce in the past few years, and naturally knows that the government's policies in recent years are all covered by Qin Leyin's shadow. When her husband said this, she also reacted: "Do you suspect this is a conspiracy?"
"I even suspect that Qin Leyin is not dead." Jing Zhengtang said: "But there is no need to be afraid. Even if there is any conspiracy, it cannot be against us. We don't have that much energy... But if we get involved rashly,
It is inevitable to become Qin Leyin's pawn."
"Gao Jin is now an officer of the Yanjing Discipline Inspection Department. Based on our relationship with him, he will be honest with us. I will go see him tonight to ask about the situation. Even if something happens, he will protect us.
.”
Fei Wei also became nervous: "Is it that serious?"
"Actually, I hope Qin Leyin is still alive." Jing Zhengtang said with a bitter smile: "I thought that after he gained power, he would become more cautious. Even if he doesn't think about himself, he still has to think about his family."
"But I didn't expect that his actions would become more and more violent, and his steps would become more and more rapid. Compared with what he did in the past few years, Huo Zhuo Xuan Zhu was nothing!"
"Qin Leyin is just like my elder brother. People like them cannot die peacefully, they can only enter the grave with a bang!
"If he is really dead, with his style..."
"He will definitely drag all his enemies with him and bury him with him!"
