August 26, Guangdong.
In August, the sacred city of Chang'an is already filled with brilliant chrysanthemums and yellow leaves all over the ground.
The weaker girls have already put on thin jackets, but in Guangdong, it is hot.
Reputable officials, scholars, and wealthy businessmen wore long silk gowns, while ordinary people wore short clothes, and the coolies were even shirtless.
Guangdong is different from Guanzhong, which snows and freezes in winter. Big households can prepare some ice cubes and hide them in ice cellars in winter, and take them out in summer to cool down and escape the summer heat.
In summer in Guangdong, you can only drink some herbal tea and try not to move, otherwise you will be covered in sticky sweat if you move even a little bit
It¡¯s not until sunset that this centuries-old ancient city comes to life.
People who have been trapped by the heat wave for a day rushed to the streets to enjoy the cool weather, which was very lively.
Although Guangdong Province is not as large as Chang'an, a city with a population of one million, it still has hundreds of thousands of people. It is one of the largest cities in the south of Daqian.
The layout of the city is similar to that of the great cities in the world. Chang'an is also taken as an example: the east is rich and the west is noble, the south is poor and the north is humble.
In Nancheng, most of the residents are extremely poor coolies or craftsmen.
They live in a low house with thatched huts
And such urban areas for common people are disliked by most officials and servants because there is no money to be made.
Most of the officials assigned here are unlucky ones who have no connections or who have no confession to make. For example, Shen Yan, who is in charge of the Jinyi Hundred Household in Nancheng, Guangdong Province.
??The Jinyi pro-army began in the dynasty of the Holy Ancestors. The king has sharp ears and eyes, and is not set up to be blinded by the Holy Ancestor.
In the Zhenyuan Dynasty, it became prosperous through the power of King Wu to open up new territories.
"Thousands of households are set up in the capitals of the eighteen provinces in the world and the two prefectures of Su and Yang to monitor the world.
If it hadn¡¯t been for the huge changes thirteen years ago, it might have expanded to one hundred and forty houses
" However, due to the special status of Jinyi's pro-juniors, they play a surveillance role and are detached from local justice, so they are not favored by local officials.
In order to ensure the loyalty and purity of the Jinyi system, the Jinyi pro-army adopts a hereditary inheritance system.
When Jinyi was at its most prosperous, it was difficult for others to enter this system. Only the descendants of the old man in Jinyi could directly join the ranks of school captains, and then slowly get promoted and make a fortune
Over the past few decades, many wealthy families have emerged, such as the Shen family.
The Shen family was actually a Jinyi family in the capital. Because the head of this generation, Shen Yan, was extremely outstanding when he was young, he was valued by the Jinyi commander at the time, so he was transferred to Guangdong to be trained as a member of the Jinyi Thousand Households.
The status of a thousand households in a province during the Zhenyuan Dynasty was no less than that of a feudal official, and they were full of oil and wealth.
It¡¯s just that after the Jinyi Change in the Zhenyuan Dynasty, everything came to a standstill.
Shen Yan has also been a popular rookie figure in the Jinyi army for more than ten years, but has gradually declined over the past ten years.
If you hadn¡¯t seen it with your own eyes, even Han Tao wouldn¡¯t have believed that the high-spirited and ambitious young man back then would be the old man sitting cross-legged on the mat in front of you, with an open mind and a cattail leaf fan to enjoy the cool breeze
"Brother Shen, do you still remember me? Haha."
Han Tao, who put on Cantonese common people's clothes, looked at Shen Yan who was enjoying the cool air alone under the big banyan tree with complex eyes, looked at his gray hair, raised his hands and asked.
When Shen Yan suddenly heard the official talk, he was startled at first, and then stared at Han Tao, his dark and thin face wrinkled, suddenly shocked, and said in disbelief: "Are youOld Han?" A turbid look appeared in his eyes. surprise!
He never thought that he would be able to see his childhood friend again in his lifetime.
Han Tao did not lose his composure. He looked around while coughing and whispered, "Old Shen, is there somewhere to talk?"
After all, Shen Yan was an old man in Jinyi, and he knew as much as Han Tao. His expression quickly returned to normal, and after glancing at the three people standing calmly not far away, a flash of light flashed in his old eyes, and he nodded and said: "Please come inside. "
After saying that, he took the lead and led the way to a red-tiled courtyard
¡¡
"Brother Shen, let me introduce to you, this is our new leader! Mr. Jia Congjia, the second-class Yong Yi Bo of the Rongguo Mansion, the commander of Jinyi!"
Entering a simple but clean main room, before sitting down, Han Tao hurriedly introduced him.
When Shen Yan heard this, the mountain lines on his forehead deepened. He looked at Jia Cong with no trace of suspicion or anger in his eyes.
"For a descendant of a Jinyi family, a person who was born in Jinyi, grew up in Jinyi, and aspired to Jinyi, Shen Yan was simply moved by such a young boss.With fifty people, it is not difficult to control a thousand households. "
Jia Cong nodded when he heard this and said: "It seems that Nie Qiong is also afraid of death"
Shen Yan gritted his teeth and said: "How can this beast not feel guilty when he has done so many bad things? There are thousands of hateful immortals in Guangdong City who call him 'Nie Rengui'."
Jia Cong looked at the darkening sky outside and said softly: "At this time, will they go out to enjoy the cool weather?"
Shen Yan shook his head and said: "At this time, they will not go out. In the past few years, there were often people who deeply hated Nie Qiong and wanted to assassinate him at night, so he became more cautious. But in recent years, this kind of thing has become extremely Young Master, usually the guard is not too strict. However, I heard that Nie Qiong gave birth to a child for his third concubine today, which is actually to collect money.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
Today everyone will definitely be there to have a feast and get drunk! "
At the end of the sentence, Shen Yan's voice even changed a little.
The eyes are nervous and expectant, as if we have reached an important juncture in life!
Jia Cong did not disappoint, he still looked at Shen Yan calmly, smiled slightly, and said: "Speaking of which, we and Nie Qiong can be regarded as colleagues in the same system. Since we know that there is a happy event in Nie Qian's family, we have to Go and show your support. Shen Baihu obeys the order!"
Hearing this, Shen Yan clenched his fists and said sternly: "I'm here to serve you!"
Jia Cong chuckled and said, "Let me prepare two carts of firecrackers and go with me to congratulate Nie Qianhu. Let's wish him a long life and a long life."
