Time Traveling Routine Movie King

Chapter 6 Cleaning Housework

Shen Fu was beaten bloody, although the sound of the staff hitting was not loud, it was more shocking than the sound of drums at the gate of the yamen, dozens of servants in the courtyard stood together to watch.

Everyone who watched was terrified, the Second Steward who used to be domineering in Shen's mansion was being beaten like this, and he was beaten to death.

No matter how weak the main family is, it is still the main family. This is a reminder to everyone.

The sticks used by the Forbidden Army to beat people are not the water and fire sticks used by ordinary government servants, but a staff that represents imperial power newly stipulated by this dynasty.Emperor Xingzong authorized the Imperial Army to stand guard in the imperial city with a golden halberd with a painted halberd head, and a white tassel hanging from the halberd head. number of values.

This is not all the military branches in history, it only exists here.

When the Ouchi guards go out to enforce the law, except for those with a military rank of more than [-] households, they can only wear a waist knife. Other ordinary sergeants must carry this kind of law enforcement stick with the head of the halberd removed and add a waist knife to represent the authority and authority of the Royal Guards. identity.As a gentleman's accessory, the sword can only be worn by a lord, and a general who wears a sword must be a general.

Using weapons to distinguish different class identities is only one of the vast class distinctions in this dynasty. There are no less than dozens of other types. An irritating thing that draws a road for foolish loyalty and utilitarian rewards and punishments.

Both ends of the stick used to beat Shen Fu are equipped with steel rings, and the logo of the flying dragon is engraved on the steel ring, so this kind of stick is also called "Flying Dragon Stick". It is more lethal than ordinary sticks when fighting, but it is not suitable for use Ordinary cane punishment.

The yamen servants in the yamen hold water and fire sticks in their hands. The jailer is a killing stick with a flat head, which is specially used for execution. When beating people, they also have a very deep way. Many times it seems that the sound is loud, but it often hurts the skin but not the body. , is trauma.

And if an experienced yamen servant were to listen to the sound of Shen Fu being beaten, he might know that someone was about to die just by the sound, and the dull sound meant that the flesh was being beaten with a stick.

In less than fifty sticks, Shen Fu was already dead.

The imperial guards who were executing the sentence outside came in and replied to Shen Bai and Li Qianhu: "Report to your lord, it's over!"

Li Qianhu nodded, and said to Shen Bai: "We will take him to the Yamen now, and tomorrow morning the Yamen servant will come to help you receive the items on the list."

Everything was arranged meticulously, Shen Bai got up and bowed to Li Qianhu: "Thank you, Lord Qianhu."

Yuemei brought a tray with five ingots of 50 taels of silver ingots on it.

"Contaminate your life. With this money, invite Qianhu to drink with the adults, and then soak in a bathhouse to get rid of evil spirits." Shen Bai took the tray and handed it to Li Qianhu. Bathhouses were popular in the Song Dynasty, which was a kind of leisure culture.

"Mr. Shen, it's unacceptable. It's common for us guards to get blood on our hands. How dare we reward you. Besides, this is the family affairs of the imperial concubine. It is our honor to be able to serve the empress."

Shen Bai pushed the tray over: "In the future, I may not say that I will find forgiveness, my lords, and it's about my life. Accepting it is a little bit of my merit."

Rich people like to spend money to buy peace of mind. Li Qianhu didn't push it anymore after hearing this, and took the tray: "Then I will thank Mr. Shen on behalf of the brothers who came together today."

"It should be!" Shen Bai nodded and smiled, the host and guest had a great time, but Shen Fu's family was left behind.

In the evening, Shen's mansion was as quiet as stagnant water. After the events of the evening, most of the people were doing their duty and did not dare to talk too much.

After dinner, Shen Bai sat drinking tea in the study, standing in front of Yuemei and Zhongbo.

"How is Shen Fu's family?" Shen Bai sipped a sip of tea and asked Uncle Zhong.

"Back to the young master, his wife and a pair of children didn't have any major reactions, except that after crying for a while at the beginning, they just kept begging the young master to show mercy and let the three of them leave the house to find their own way of life." Uncle Zhong replied arrive.

Yuemei snorted softly: "They wanted to be light and light, so they got the freedom to leave like this."

Shen Bai gently put down the teacup: "The whole family does unrighteous things, and they are all ruthless people. It's not right to let them go now, and arrange for them to pack up their things tomorrow morning, except for personal clothes and jewelry, a penny You can't take it away either."

Yuemei didn't say anything after hearing this, and said after a while: "The young master is kind, the jewelry for the mother and daughter is probably more than seven or eight hundred taels."

Shen Bai waved his hand: "Forget it, the big head is back, it's not too bad, Shen Fu is punished, his children are innocent, and there will be a marriage in the future, first take this family to a village outside the city, let them guard them, and live a few days." After one year, let them go out of Beijing, and they will never be able to return to Bianjing."

Yuemei and Zhongbo nodded, and finally said nothing.

After they all went out and closed the study door, Shen Bai opened the secret door in the bookcase again, and went in with a candlestick.

The dark room at night seemed a bit shady, so I lit several candlesticks inside, and carefully looked at the room of less than ten square meters by the light of the fire.

In addition to the whole box of gold and silver stacked inside, the most valuable items are some palace objects. In addition, some calligraphy and paintings are collected in the cabinet under the bookcase. The lowest layer of calligraphy and painting is a hidden compartment, which contains five One of the land deeds belongs to Shen's residence, two are for shops in the city, and the last are two Zhuangzi, one is outside Bianliang and the other is in Luoyang.

It is estimated that there are around 10,000+ taels of gold and silver that can be used in Shen's mansion. Apart from real estate, the rest are calligraphy, painting and books. Although calligraphy, painting and books are valuable, especially some ancient books, he will not touch them.

And it is impossible to use these things that are rewarded by the palace as a last resort, let alone exchange them for money.

Except for the real estate of the two Zhuangzi, there is almost no land, which is somewhat of a scholarly noble.

But the two shops made him a little bit confused. If it is "everything is inferior, only reading is high", then why would Bachelor Shen buy a shop?

In fact, it's not that he doesn't understand, but his ignorance of the economy of this period.

Even in the Song Dynasty in history, almost all dynasties gathered achievements in terms of economy, culture, and art, especially the overall national economy reached the highest in the world, and the economy of the Song Dynasty was almost 90.00% of the world at the same time. , is a well-deserved economic superpower.

After the rule of the Yuan Empire, the status of the Han people became the third class, and the economy entered a conservative retreat. In the Ming Dynasty, the prosperity and openness of the Tang and Song Dynasties had already retreated to the beach. , There was no major improvement until the middle and late Qing Dynasty when the country was closed to the outside world.

The biggest difference here lies in the difference in the thinking of the people at that time.

Shen Xueshi's buying a store was actually one of the investment methods of the scholar-bureaucrat class at that time. Of course, Shen Bai's father was able to have such a fortune mainly because of a pen.

Shen Xueshi is best at writing, whether it is sacrificial or wishing, and his calligraphy is unique among civil servants, and he is a contemporary cultural celebrity.

The Hanlin Academy itself is an institution whose responsibility is to draft imperial edicts and issue them.

Therefore, Shen Xueshi's pen was extremely famous at that time, and there were many people who asked for articles or calligraphy, and the cost of retouching the pen was naturally high.

However, for future generations who are familiar with history, it is natural to know that the most valuable thing in ancient times is land. Unless the dynasty changes, land is the greatest wealth in the farming era.

With this in mind, he will naturally think of other financial management methods.

After so much tossing and going to the climax of the moon, it was actually only nine o'clock, but for the ancients, they had already gone to bed early.

Linglong urges him outside the door, Shen Bai comes out to close the dark room, and Yuemei also urges him to go to bed.

I didn't want them to stay with them too late, so I went back to the room to wash up, and then fell asleep.

The next morning, I woke up early.

In the past, it was inconvenient to go out at home, and I read books every day. First I read paper books, then I gradually read online articles, and then I bought a tablet.

He has read a lot of time-travel novels and rebirth novels, and it can even be said that they became his favorite subjects for a while.

But now I just really responded to this, lying on the bed, talking about how to have a golden finger with post-modern knowledge, or what kind of fate has turned around, and what a dream.

But in the morning, when I opened my eyes and looked at the carved bed and the strangeness in the room, I still couldn't get used to it at all.

Life is a dream, although this kind of dream is different, but I am afraid that I will wake up at any time.
