The summer sunset is as red as fire, smearing everything in the world into a red color, and there is a thrilling beauty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info The workers who came out of the field work gradually merged into a torrent on the street, and the people's faces reflected the glow, revealing red colors, and from the inside to the outside there was a spirit of striving for progress.

Xu Ping looked at the workers talking and laughing on the road, and was a little distracted for a while. What has changed in the past year is not only the daily necessities of the people in the capital, but also the fate of tens of thousands of people. As long as the policy of the three divisions does not change, these field affairs will continue to be done, and these people will be the first batch of industrial workers in the real sense of the word in the world.

History is slowly changing the trajectory, and the whole society is slowly changing, and these changes do not depend on any one person to ascend to the heights, but on these ordinary people, these bits and pieces.

As the workers came out of the fieldwork, the nearby streets seemed to boil all at once. All sorts of vendors, out of nowhere, carry their burdens through the streets. The cries of selling one after another, accompanied by the hurried footsteps of the hawkers, added a sense of vitality to the capital in the evening glow.

Xu Ping didn't greet his entourage, but walked slowly along the side of the street, looking at the scenery on both sides of the Wuzhang River in the evening, and feeling the breath of this life.

This is what I have brought to this world, a life that has never been before, a spiritual outlook that has never been before.

The squeezing of high-ranking officials, landlords and businessmen in the three divisions is a change. The vivid life around this event is another change, and in Xu Ping's eyes, the change around the field has made him feel more intimate.

Tan Hu beckoned the two guards and followed behind Xu Ping without hurrying. He knew that Xu Ping didn't want people to disturb him at this time, it was not okay to be far away, and it was not okay to be too close, and the distance in between was a tacit understanding formed over the years.

After walking more than a hundred steps away, the crowd under the big willow tree by the river in front of him blocked Xu Ping's way. Xu Ping looked up, and wanted to go around, but was suddenly attracted by the sound coming from the crowd.

If you heard correctly, it was Yongzhou natives who spoke in the crowd? The voice of the people there is special, and the words are mixed with Han and barbarism, Xu Ping has been in Yongzhou for six years, and he heard it at once.

On a whim, Xu Ping squeezed into the crowd.

When Tan Hu saw it later, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly squeezed to Xu Ping's side with two entourages.

A man in his forties and fifties in the crowd, holding a pair of pliers in his left hand and a chisel in his right hand, was spitting and spitting. The man also wore a veil on his head, but he looked obviously unaccustomed to it, and wore it crookedly. The placket of the body is casually hidden, the waist is tied casually, and the chest can be seen when the body moves, and the thin bones seem to be able to pierce out of there at any time.

Especially as soon as this person opened his mouth to speak, he showed a missing front tooth on one side, and his voice sounded leaky.

Tan Hu whispered in Xu Ping: "Official, this is our barbarian from Yongzhou, and he should be a barbarian. They all knocked out two front teeth before they got married, and this person should be his own means, and he beckoned to pull out the teeth here. ”

Xu Ping smiled: "I can also roughly hear it." This man has a flexible mind, but he doesn't know how to go to the capital to earn a living, and he doesn't know how to do his craft. ”

People in this era do not pay attention to dental maintenance, eat rough food, and have severely damaged teeth. However, because the teeth are often exercised, many people in later generations have dental diseases that few people have at this time, and the dental diseases they often get are difficult to see in later generations, and the methods of dentists are naturally very different. The technique of filling teeth with metal amalgam has long existed, but it is still limited to the use of dignitaries, and street dentists are common like this man, with pliers in one hand and chisel in the other, knocking out which tooth is not pleasing to the eye. Fortunately, the human teeth in this era are not stable, and they are easy to knock.

Xu Ping suffered this loss, and let himself suffer countless hardships at the end of his teeth, there is no harm at all in this era, and he is a special case of becoming ill. In the previous life, it was a minor illness, but no doctor of this era had seen it.

Seeing someone pulling teeth, Xu Ping unconsciously touched his face. Two days ago, I drank a sip of ice water in the palace, and somehow it affected the inflammation of my teeth, and the two began to hurt again.

The man said everything from north to south, and he didn't know if the people around the capital understood it, so he put the pliers and chisel on a rag on the ground and rolled up his sleeves.

Just as he was about to greet business, the man turned his head and saw Tan Hu, was taken aback, and hurriedly came up to salute and said: "Little Wei Xiaohe, I went to the capital to eat and eat, but I didn't expect to see the officials of the Zhizhai here." -- Officials are rich! ”

Tan Hu didn't expect this person to know him, so he hurriedly supported him and said, "How do you know me!" ”

"The little one has a pair of eyes that he will never forget, and he has begged for life in the official's village to remember. - Alas, this is not a promotion officer? Damn it, I didn't even recognize it! ”

Wei Xiaohe knelt on the ground as he spoke, ready to make a big salute.

Xu Ping hurriedly held on: "It's inconvenient to salute on the street, you don't need to be polite." ”

Wei Xiaohe was so anxious that he rubbed his hands in place: "For us barbarians, officials are like reborn parents, how can we not be offended?" How to make! How to make! ”

Xu Ping saw that the onlookers were pointing, and many people had already recognized him, so he said to Wei Xiaohe: "You and I go to the tea shed over there to talk, there are many people here, and it is not a place to talk." ”

Wei Xiaohe agreed, and he didn't care about the guy who ate on the ground, and squeezed out of the crowd with Xu Ping.

Tan Hu asked an entourage to collect Wei Xiaohe's tools and led people to follow behind.

When he arrived at the teahouse and sat down, he asked for a few bowls of tea, and Xu Ping asked Wei Xiaohe to sit down and talk.

Wei Xiaohe stood at the table and said, "The official is laughing, how can there be a place for the villain to sit in front of you?" I'm just a barbarian who can't eat enough and don't have warm clothes in the mountains, and after the officials arrived in Yongzhou, they knew what it was like to be full. If the official has anything to say, just say it, and I really don't dare to sit down as I stand here and listen. ”

Xu Ping smiled: "This is not an official office, let's talk some gossip, you don't need to be restrained." ”

Wei Xiaohe waved his hand again and again, no matter what, his butt would not touch the stool.

Xu Ping had no choice but to let him.

After taking a sip of tea, Xu Ping asked Wei Xiaohe: "How did you come to the capital?" Did you encounter difficulties in Yongzhou? ”

"No, everything is fine in Yongzhou now. The small one has never seen the world in the mountains before, and it is strange to see everything when he comes out of the mountain, so he made a wish on a whim to come to the capital to have a look. Now that I've seen it, I'm going to stay here for a year or two, and when I see the Son of Heaven, I have a wish, and I'll go back to Yongzhou. ”

The people who live in the capital really have a heart, and it is not difficult to see the emperor. There are always several times a year when the emperor goes out on patrol or worships the heavens, and waits on both sides of the royal street early.

Every era has its own customs, and in Xu Ping's previous life, some people must go abroad to see, or to see which scenic spots, or even to which person's birthplace to see, is a very normal psychology. It's just that the emperor has taken up too much limelight in this era, and at a glance, he feels that he has been stained with countless blessings.

However, Xu Ping was still a little curious, and asked Wei Xiaohe: "What do you rely on to make a living?" I see that you will not always rely on this craft to extract teeth, right? ”

Wei Xiaohe opened his mouth for Xu Ping to see: "Official, please look, every time we barbarians want to get married, we will chisel off two front teeth." When I was in the mountains, I often did this and practiced the art of tooth extraction, and I really relied on this skill to eat and wear along the way. -- However, now the Yong Langlu government said that it was a barbarian custom, and issued a proclamation saying that it was not allowed to chisel teeth. In the past two years, many barbarians have gone out of the mountains, just like the Han people, and they really don't chisel. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Xiaohe scratched his head embarrassedly: "We people in the mountains have little knowledge, many people are ignorant, and there are many outdated rules. In fact, the Han people outside the mountains don't chisel their teeth, so they don't live well? ”

Xu Ping shook his head: "Ignorance? It's not foolishness. It's just that the mountains are sparsely populated, and there is not much communication with people outside, so there are a lot of bad rules handed down. If you find it inconvenient, change it. ”

"Are the officials saying that the custom of chiseling teeth still has a long history?"

"Naturally. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" records the country of chiseled teeth, and according to the geographical orientation, it should be in the current Qilu place. Not only is there no such custom anymore, but it is also a land of poetry and books, a land of saints. The ancients had this custom, which is naturally a necessary reason, the world has changed, and now there is no need to change it. The virtue of the Son of Heaven is to educate the Quartet, since Yongzhou has been encapsulated by the soil and is under the control of the Son of Heaven, it is natural that it should also change customs and customs, and there is no need to stick to the old rules. ”

"It turns out that there is such a set of sayings, officials are really people who have read books, and they have their own fortunes in their hearts. Our barbarians who go out of the mountains do not cut their teeth, and those who remain in the mountains say that they are not. When I go back in two years, I will tell them this set of rhetoric from the officials, and see who else dares to gossip? In the past, we barbarians lived the same life as wild beasts, and when the officials arrived in Yongzhou, we were fed and clothed, and we came out of the mountains to see the world, and the mountains were god-like characters. ”

Xu Ping smiled and shook his head, to tell the truth, when he was in Yongzhou, he really didn't dare to feel anything special. It was only when I left, and what I heard later, that I realized how much change my actions had brought to the dialect of the mountains and rivers, and how deeply impressed they were.

In Xu Ping's previous life, the word "education" was not good, and many times it made people feel derogatory. In fact, isn't this the replacement of ignorance by civilization, the change of customs, and the change of bad habits? However, in this era, the sage is always taught, starting from the ancient sages, Xu Ping's previous life was from a foreigner. I especially remember reading a magazine in my previous life, and an article talked about the topic of changing customs and building new winds, starting from my friend's niece marrying a foreigner, and the foreigner gave a pair of poker as a gift for the New Year, and then this is the courtesy of light and affectionate, foreigners are civilized people, replace ignorance with civilization, and do not give heavy gifts when changing customs and customs.

In this era, it seems difficult to find a foreigner who is more civilized than the Central Plains. Thinking of this, Xu Ping couldn't help but laugh at himself, one day in the future, I don't know if anyone said that he would be called an ancient, although he led the reform of an era, but he was also a monster who ate the ancient and hindered the development of the times.

Who knows what's behind you? As long as he can see more people like Wei Xiaohe in his own life, and know that he has really brought progress to this world, it seems that it is enough. (To be continued.) )
