Chongzhen Chat Group
Chapter 852 Encounter on the road (third update)
Of course, these are not surprising to Emperor Chongzhen, a soul from later generations. However, the difference in the density of people from the north to the south still made Emperor Chongzhen a little bit emotional.
Not only that, including the style of folk houses, there are many bricks and tiles in the south of the Yangtze River, and people who pass business trips are usually well-dressed. Even the farmers on the roadside have good clothes. Compared with the north, they are simply two worlds apart.
When Fang Zhenghua, who was accompanying Emperor Chongzhen, saw this, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's true that if you don't come to Jiangnan, you won't know the wealth of the Ming Dynasty!"
"It would be great if one day, the people of Liaodong could live like this." Liu Xingzuo also echoed with emotion.
Concubine Tian, who was disguised as a man, controlled the speed of her horse freely and followed Emperor Chongzhen. She turned to look at the two of them, and then said with a smile: "When we get to Suzhou City, it won't be too late for you to say this again! "
"Is it more prosperous than the capital?" Fang Zhenghua was a little surprised, and the surprise on his face was clearly evident.
Emperor Chongzhen admired the vitality of Jiangnan and listened to them talking without interrupting. He also liked such a harmonious atmosphere.
"That's not true." Concubine Tian smiled and shook her head. "But the prosperity in the capital and the prosperity here in Jiangnan are still different. Once you arrive, you can realize it immediately."
While they were talking, a carriage passed by, and the group of people temporarily stopped talking. After the carriage passed, Concubine Tian smiled and said: "Did you see the carriage that just passed by? In the capital, I'm afraid there must be five It is only found when high-ranking officials go out. But here, it is not rare, it is found in ordinary squire's homes."
When Liu Xingzuo heard this, he was a little surprised and said: "The carriage just now was accompanied by six servants. Is this also the home of an ordinary squire?"
"Absolutely!" Concubine Tian replied with a smile, and then glanced at Emperor Chongzhen. Seeing that he was smiling and seemed to be in a good mood, she then said to Liu Xingzuo, "If you don't believe it, send someone over. Just ask."
Emperor Chongzhen felt Liu Xingzuo's gaze on him, so he turned to look at him and said with a smile: "Just relax when you come out. If you don't believe me, just ask. Don't scare others!"
When Liu Xingzuo heard this, he immediately turned his horse's head and rushed back to ask questions.
After a while, he galloped back. Fang Zhenghua was curious and immediately asked: "How is it?"
"As my wife said, his grandfather was just a civil servant, not an outstanding figure." Liu Xingzuo replied with emotion.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he interrupted and said: "It seems that this family is considered rich. After this person gets rich, he will think about enjoyment. Logically speaking, it is human nature. But if they compare each other and are extravagant and wasteful, this is There is a problem. The imperial court is so short of money, the people in the north are so poor, extravagant and decadent, and the atmosphere of wealth and wealth is unacceptable!"
He had already noticed this situation from the usual memorials and the chat messages in the chat group. At this time, after hearing the questions and answers between Tian Guifei and Liu Xingzuo, he also felt it.
The emperor's words immediately set the tone. And it makes sense, especially since they are all from the north, and they feel the same way. For a moment, no one spoke anymore, and the atmosphere became a little cold.
At this time, the weather was already in March, and it was rainy in the south. Although it had not rained in the past two days, some sections of the road were still a bit muddy. For Emperor Chongzhen and his party, they were all traveling on horseback, so there was no need to worry about this. But for vehicles on the road, it has a little impact.
No, not long after Emperor Chongzhen and his party had walked, they saw a truck stuck in the mud, and the driver who was accompanying the truck was pushing and pulling. However, there may be a lot of traffic on this section of road, and there are already deep car marks on the road. It just happened to be stuck on a pothole, and several attempts failed.
Behind the truck, there were several carriages blocking the road. However, none of them came forward to help. A group of people just stood there and watched, and a few servants were even yelling at them for blocking the way.
Seeing that there were more people, Fang Zhenghua, Liu Xingzuo and others followed closely, guarding Emperor Chongzhen and Concubine Tian without leaving any trace. After getting closer, the people over there saw more than 20 riders coming, and they were a little curious. They looked at them, but they didn't say hello and were still talking to each other.
The truck can block other vehicles, but it has no effect on a solo rider. After Emperor Chongzhen got closer, he heard those chatting. Most of them were talking about where they went for a meal, how much they spent, or how long it took to make a set of clothes. It's a bit old now and I'm embarrassed. Get dressed and go out. It was hard to tell whether they were bragging or whether they were really doing it, but it could be heard that they both wanted to overpower each other.
Emperor Chongzhen noticed that the truck almost pushed out of the mud pit several times, but it just missed it. If these people on the side could come up and help, there would be no need to be stuck there. But these people would rather chat, but have no intention of taking action. At most, some people suggested that the guys should unload some of the goods first. No matter how bad it is, they are just swearing.
Seeing those guys sweating profusely, Emperor Chongzhen pointed his finger. Immediately, four plainclothes Jinyi guards caught up from behind, jumped off their horses, and went to help push the cart regardless of the mud on the road.
When they jumped off the horse, they stepped on the mud on the ground and splashed a little mud. Those nearby subconsciously avoided it, and a few people even showed a trace of disgust, as if they would soil my clothes. , that kind of attitude that you can afford to pay? However, he probably didn't dare to speak out when he saw the more than 20 riders here and their powerful strength.
Plainclothes Jin Yiwei stepped forward to help, and four of them returned the favor, and naturally the truck was pushed out of the mud pit.
"Ding, achievement value +2, from Chen Youming."
"..."
The system continuously sounded prompts, but Emperor Chongzhen did not accept the thanks from the clerks. He had already passed by himself, showing his style of doing good deeds without leaving any name. This also caused Emperor Chongzhen's system prompts to sound continuously.
When he was a little far away and no outsiders could hear him, Fang Zhenghua said a little shamelessly: "Why don't these people help out? It's just a matter of extending a hand, but they have time to chat around!"
"They think their shoes are dirty." Liu Xingzuo could tell at a glance and replied to Fang Zhenghua, "The master is right, there is something wrong with the people here."
Emperor Chongzhen listened and said nothing. He hoped that what he said before was not correct!
The recommendation votes are 800 more, which is enough, but there are still 3 dues.
