Chapter 373: Not a Eunuch
Although the three scholars resisted with complete force, they didn't know where their arms twisted over their thighs, they were escorted forward, they only knew that they were outdoors, cold and afraid, until they were thrown on top of a carriage, and they were still guarded by two people each.
Suddenly, a scholar heard a voice: "Open the palace door." ”
At that time, I was excited, and I immediately understood something, even if I was gagged, I didn't dare to shout, but at this time I still shouted, "I don't be a eunuch, I don't want to be a eunuch!" ”
It turns out that the Ming Dynasty has a bad habit, pulling people into the palace as eunuchs, Wang Zhen, one of the most famous eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, was originally a landing talent, teaching in a private school, and then mixed as a teacher in the county, he has no background, and he has not been admitted to the fame for ten years, so he castrated himself and entered the palace as a eunuch, but in the end he is a scholar, and he is not a child of ordinary people who can be compared, so he is naturally like a fish in water, and finally mixed with the most powerful eunuch in history...... Well, it's still a eunuch.
But being castrated like this is not what they want, and people still have a future to run.
"My lord, my lord, I will make you a cow and a horse, and you can be a slave for generations, don't castrate the villain, please."
"I'd rather die than be a eunuch!"
"Hurry up and loosen my ties, otherwise, when I become a eunuch and become a celebrity in front of the elders, killing you is like killing a chicken!"
However, their words of begging or threatening not only did not make people stop, but instead caused punches and kicks: "Fuck, for you bastards, let me wait for those who could have followed the elders to eat and drink spicy food, so I can only accompany you here to drink the wind and beat me!" ”
The three scholars were hooded, they were completely ignorant, and they couldn't beat this strong man who practiced all day long, all of them had blue noses and swollen faces after being beaten, oh, I couldn't see it, but they were also lying there gasping.
"A few piglets still dare to call, send them to the tarmac, we can go back to our lives, and we can go to warm up."
The three of them were taken away in a daze, never knowing where they were going, knowing to walk blindly, only knowing how to walk, until they felt that they had walked into an uphill slope, and it was still very hard ground, completely different from the dirt road and gravel road they usually walked.
After entering this uphill slope, the feeling is different, first of all, it is very bright, as if it has entered the daytime, and it is also very warm, as if it is on the fire.
They were also taken to a place, and after sitting in their seats, they were trapped on it, and then they heard the big men laugh a few words, and slowly walked away.
After a long time, the three scholars felt that there was no sound around them, so they boldly untied their hoods and looked outside.
It's so bright, it's probably still night, but a headlight above the head is like day, although I just heard about the palace here, but it's unheard of, in fact, it's just that the three people are lonely and unheard, and now there are a lot of places in the imperial capital electric lights, but on the one hand, the consumption level of that place is not low, on the other hand, it is a place related to the elders, and naturally there are all kinds of "entertainment" places, basically all kinds of ambiguous color lighting, this kind of pure lighting bulbs are really not much.
Although the three of them also found themselves tied to their seats, they were even more surprised by the layout here, the floor was smooth, and the surrounding decorations were new, and they couldn't tell what it was for.
"What kind of place is this?"
The three of them didn't dare to talk, so they could only look at each other, "What are you waiting for me?" ”
"I don't think they dare to wait for us, and besides, it's so warm here, it's to treat us well."
"Have you heard, in this imperial capital, there is a spaceship that can go directly to the Heavenly Palace, it seems to be all made of iron, and it can fly in the sky."
"I said, let's have a false alarm, what Kong Yiji said, who knows now? But if there is really an immortal to lead, we must not lose the face of the reader, and we must be polite. ”
"Also, if you give me immortal fruit and fairy wine, don't fight for it, if it's given to a fairy......"
The three of them are usually consumers of all kinds of obscenity in the Ming Dynasty, this obscenity can be described as a classic work that harms others and harms oneself, ordinary people use it to relieve boredom, it is also appropriate, but I am afraid that it is this kind of reading dead book to death, without consciousness, and has completely projected itself into those protagonists, basically to meet fairies when entering the mountains, and to meet young ladies who go out dressed as men when shopping, and to take the exam must be high school, or is favored by the emperor, and marries the princess......
In this era, there is obviously no race of Long Aotian, but their rudiments have already appeared, and they are basically talking about how to do it.
But after talking for a long time, I found that no one paid attention to it at all, and it gradually rested, and at this time I remembered the wounds on my body, and I hadn't eaten for half a day, and they were picked up by Kong Yiji, saying that they were to bring down the book seller, and take this opportunity to become famous in the imperial capital.
But now they were hungry and looked at each other, and suddenly someone said, "I don't know when someone will look at me and wait, and this shackle ......"
The shackles on their hands were pure white and shiny, like silver, but they could easily handcuff their hands to the bench, and it was difficult to move, let alone move, so that they were even more uncomfortable.
"Anyone, I'll ask for a sip of water."
"Anyone?"
There was no movement, as if it had been forgotten.
At first, they kept calling, but later, they became more and more weak, but fortunately, they were all poor scholars, and they had never lived a hard life, but they were thirsty and hungry, and they could only lie there and wait slowly.
"Zhang Liang, you really want to catch a kangaroo for your little concubine, how do you calculate this budget?"
"Damn, I only found out when I drank with Boss Liang that those grandsons are now all raised by the third and fourth children, and everyone's living standard is the same as my little beauty! That is, in this regard, they are more than three or four times more, how can this be obtained? No, I'm at a loss. ”
"Okay, just wait for someone to scare you."
"Slap me? I see how they scare, all of them have three wives and four concubines, hum, whoever scolds me, I will directly report how much benefit they have given to the little wives. ”
"Okay, everyone don't accuse each other, you can do it too, but, the zoo thing, it seems that Lao Li did say, in order to let those turtles have a long experience, don't make a fuss every day, we want us to catch some strange teams such as giraffes, lions, kangaroos, etc., this is also to increase income and serve the country, at least I know, there are still some people who are interested in it."
"It's okay, the zoo can at least arrange a few people to go in."
"Sort of, I feel that we have formed a group of in-laws attached to us now, and I don't know if it's a good thing."
"It's something the leaders discussed, okay, let's go."
The three of them heard the voice of someone talking, although they couldn't understand what was said, but when would they wait if they didn't hurry to ask for help at this moment?
"Help, help!"
"Who?"
Zhang Liang opened the cabin, but saw that the three scholars were being locked up there, their voices were hoarse and indistinct, and he turned his head and said: "It seems that Lao Li said it, but I am not impressed, I went to sleep after saying a word last night." ”
"Okay, let's go, send them to Australia quickly, and together we will become a transport brigade, transporting people when we go and gold when we come back."
The two continued to gossip about their troubles, but they ignored them, too, for a few months, they were also used to loading the exiled prisoners on the ships that were going to Australia to bring back gold, which was also their consideration.
Australia is a little different from China is that when the Chinese spend the winter, people are proper summer, and arrange people at the right time, if it is summer to transport people over, it happens to be cold, then it is funny, of course, Australia's winter also maintains a temperature above zero, which can be described as a country of abundance.
Of course, Australia can't be a paradise, not to mention all kinds of poisonous snakes and pythons, and the local natives are not good, of course, the people who were sent by Li Xiangqian are basically young and middle-aged, and after getting some weapons, the blood of the fighting nation awakens, and he knows that the place where he is is not his hometown, but his own territory thousands of miles away.
Fortunately, every few days, the Elder's ship came, and it was the only hope in this situation, and perhaps for others, the elusive ship still had some awe, then for them, the ship that came once a week was almost a matter of faith.
They watched the thousand-year-old falcon land, and after the landing gear opened, a few people slowly walked down from it, but in front were three scholars with tattered cotton jackets and torn robes, and Zhang Liang, who was walking behind, had an unhappy face and said, "Don't hurry up!" ”
A man walked in front of him, didn't care about the three scholars, and said to Zhang Liang: "What are you doing with such a big anger, I'm still waiting for you to take care of it here for a week, it's not okay to frighten people, are there only these three people this week." ”
"Okay, Lao Hu, leave it to me, transport the gold bars, you can go, and leave it to me here this week."
Hu Minghui smiled and said: "Don't mind, each of us is on duty for a week, some things still have to be passed on, and there are some new situations, you have to do a good job of handover in the future, it's nothing, it's only a week a year, just be a distraction, and you can hunt and play, it's a good choice to distract, of course, be careful of snakes." ”
Speaking of the snake word, Zhang Liang's face was also the same, grabbed the bag in his hand, and said, "I brought snake repellent medicine." ”
"That's good, I'll introduce you in other aspects, the reclamation point where we are located, there are now 3,000 people, it can be said that the good land nearby has been divided up, but there are already people herding sheep, I estimate that the price of food in Australia will be very low in the future, and the price of meat will be very expensive, uh, by the way, these immigrants have had a lot of contact with the local aborigines, contact, and some conflicts, but they have not suffered, the natives do not seem to have the development of long-range weapons technology points, too primitive, but pay attention to the health situation."
"Didn't they have a flying device, or the thing that a child threw in his hand."
"You also said that the kid took it, that thing is fine against the small team, and the beating of people will only be beaten unless they are stupid, in fact. The combat effectiveness of these guys is still good, the night before yesterday raid took down a tribe, as far as I know, these natives are almost a million people, but the combat effectiveness is like that. ”
Zhang Liang suddenly moved, he had just been assigned to be the week's watchman, and it was not easy to manage those gold mining machines and maintain the discipline of the reclamation people.
"Well, if you take down the village, won't it be besieged, and besides, these people won't really take the natives as wives, it's not good to take root here like this."
"Don't worry, if you see the natives, you know, they can hardly see it, the sun here is too bad, the skin is black, of course, there must be some black and pretty, but our people's appetite is not good enough to this extent, and they are also frightened by infectious diseases, and they don't dare to touch women, but I didn't embarrass them from the natives, they are all far away, the language is not comprehensible, we lack linguists, and I am too lazy to learn."
The official language of Australia in later generations is English, but what the Australian aborigines said at this time, the elders are completely ignorant from top to bottom, and lack the desire to understand them, fortunately, Australia has a vast land, and there are many grasslands, and the animal husbandry of Australia in later generations is a pillar industry, and it should not be difficult to be self-sufficient here with the support of the elders.
However, their discipline is still there, and they should not do the same thing as the British, Zhang Liang said: "Okay, I'll just take a look, the gold will be transported quickly, and I will deal with the rest." ”
Although Zhang Liang is doing duty for the first time, he has been here many times, and he also knows the process of doing things, and immediately the laborers in the town began to work, pushing a cart of gold bars onto the spaceship.
"It's fifteen tons of gold again this week, and our gold reserves are also sufficient, and we can do any reforms in the future, how comfortable."
Zhang Liang suddenly asked: "Don't use a machine, let these criminals touch the gold bars, how can this work, won't they be selfish." ”
Hu Minghui pointed and said: "You forgot the metal detector sent before, this thing can't be done, it's still very simple to check if a person has hidden gold bars, of course, what can they do if they hide gold bars?" And the natives buy their flyers. ”
"yes."
"It's the same way, the land will be divided next year, and they are all thinking about it, after all, this place has been set up as a county by us, okay, it's just a town, but it's also Chinese territory, and they all want to go back to the mainland to marry a daughter-in-law after making money."
