851 Road Encounter (3rd Shift)
Of course, these are naturally not strange to Emperor Chongzhen, the soul from later generations. However, from the north to the south, the difference in the density of people still made Emperor Chongzhen a little emotional.
Not only that, but also the style of the dwellings, the bricks and tiles in the south of the Yangtze River, the past business travelers, and the most decently dressed, even if they are roadside farmers, they also have a good set of clothes, compared with the north, they are simply two worlds.
Fang Zhenghua, who was accompanying Emperor Chongzhen, saw this, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If you don't come to Jiangnan, you won't know the wealth of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
"If only there was more than one day, the people of Liaodong could live such a life." Liu Xingzuo also echoed with emotion.
Tian Guifei, who was dressed as a man, controlled the speed of the horse freely, followed Emperor Chongzhen's side, turned her head to look at the two of them, and then said with a smile: "When you arrive in Suzhou City, it's not too late for you to say this again!" ”
"Is it more prosperous than Jingshi?" Fang Zhenghua was a little surprised, and the surprised expression on his face was undoubtedly revealed.
Emperor Chongzhen admired the vigor of Jiangnan, listened to them and did not interject, such a harmonious atmosphere is also what he likes.
"Not really." Tian Guifei shook her head with a smile and said, "However, the prosperity of Jingshi and the prosperity of Jiangnan are still different, and after you arrive, you can understand it at once." ”
While they were talking, a carriage passed by, and the group temporarily stopped talking, and after the carriage passed, Tian Guifei said with a smile: "Seeing that the carriage that passed just now was not, if this is in Beijing, I am afraid that there will be a five-grade official going out." But here, it is not uncommon, and there are ordinary squire's homes. ”
When Liu Xingzuo heard this, he was a little surprised and said, "There were six servants accompanying the carriage just now, and this is also the home of an ordinary squire?" ”
"Almost!" Tian Guifei replied with a smile, and then glanced at Emperor Chongzhen, seeing that he was smiling and seemed to be in a good mood, and then said to Liu Xingzuo, "If you don't believe it, send someone over to ask." ”
Emperor Chongzhen felt Liu Xingzuo's gaze at him, so he turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "Come out and relax, if you don't believe it, just ask, don't scare people!" ”
When Liu Xingzuo heard this, he immediately turned his horse's head and rushed back to question.
After a while, he galloped back. Fang Zhenghua was curious, so he immediately asked, "How is it?" ”
"As Madame said, his grandfather was just a man, and he didn't have anything outstanding." Liu Xingzuo replied with emotion.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he interjected and said, "It seems that this family is also rich." When this person is rich, he will want to enjoy it. Logically speaking, it is also human nature. But if you compare with each other and waste extravagantly, this is a problem. The imperial court is so short of money, the people in the north are so poor, extravagant and erosive, and the atmosphere of drunkenness and gold is unacceptable! “
He had already noticed this situation from his usual recitals and the chat messages in the chat group, and after hearing Tian Guifei and Liu Xingzuo's questions and answers, he was also impressed.
The emperor's words immediately set the tone. And it is also reasonable, especially since these people are all northerners, and there is a sense of empathy. For a moment, no one spoke again, and the atmosphere was a little cold.
At this time, it was already March weather, and it was rainy in the south, although it did not rain in the past two days, some sections of the road were still a little muddy. For Emperor Chongzhen and his party, they all rode horses, but they didn't have to care about this. But for the vehicles on the road, it's a bit of an impact.
No, Emperor Chongzhen and his entourage didn't go far when they saw a truck stuck in the mud, and the men and drivers in the car were pushing and pulling. But this section of the road may be a lot of traffic, the road surface has deep car marks, just stuck in a pothole, several efforts have failed.
Behind the wagon, several carriages were in the way. However, no one of them stepped forward to help, and a group of people stood by and watched, and even a few servants were still shouting and scolding them for blocking the way.
Seeing that there were more people, Fang Zhenghua, Liu Xingzuo and others followed a little closer, guarding Emperor Chongzhen and Tian Guifei without a trace. After getting closer, the people over there saw more than 20 riders coming, and they were also a little curious, and looked at them, but they didn't say hello, and they were still talking to each other.
The truck could block other vehicles, but it didn't affect a solo rider. After Emperor Chongzhen got closer, he heard those people chatting, mostly talking about where to have a meal, how much money was spent, or how long to make a set of clothes, and now they are a little old and embarrassed to wear them out. Whether they were bragging or really like that, it was difficult to tell for a while, but they could hear that they both wanted to crush each other.
Emperor Chongzhen noticed that the truck had almost pushed out of the mud pit several times, but it was only a little bit. If these people on the side can go up and help, they won't have to block there. But these people would rather chat, but they don't have the slightest intention of doing anything. At most, some people suggested that those guys should unload some of the goods first, and if it was not good, it would be cursing.
Looking at the sweaty appearance of those guys, Emperor Chongzhen pointed with his hand. Immediately, four Jinyi guards in plainclothes caught up from behind, jumped off their horses, and went to help push the cart despite the mud on the road.
When they jumped off the horse, stepped on the mud on the ground, and splashed a little mud, those people nearby subconsciously avoided it, and even a few people showed a trace of disgust, as if there was that kind of demeanor that if you stained my clothes, you could afford to pay for it? However, it should be that when I saw more than 20 riders here, my strength was strong, so I didn't dare to speak out.
There are Jinyi Wei plainclothes who stepped forward to help, and there were four at once, so naturally the truck was pushed out of the mud pit.
"Ding, achievement +2, from Chen Youming."
“……”
The system continued to sound the prompt, but Emperor Chongzhen did not accept the thanks of those guys, and had already passed by himself, completely in the style of doing good deeds without leaving a name. This also made Emperor Chongzhen's system prompt sound sound continuously.
A little farther away, and no outsiders could hear it, Fang Zhenghua said a little shamelessly: "Why don't these people help, it's just a matter of stretching out their hands, but they have the kung fu to chat on the side!" ”
"They were disgusted with their shoes." Liu Xingzuo saw it at a glance, and replied to Fang Zhenghua, "The master is right, there is a problem with the hearts of the people here." ”
Emperor Chongzhen listened and did not speak. He hoped he wasn't right!
