Ding Tian's Ancient Life

"He... what is he doing?" Du Zhifu picked up a cloth towel to wipe his mouth, and at the same time his face was full of black lines: "Isn't it like this tossing?"

"You can't just hear about it. When we go back in two days, we'll see if we see it?" Master Du was not excited: "You can't take things that are rumored to be true."

Du Zhifu thought for a while: "I don't think so, Ding Tian likes to be clean, you have seen it before, how bad the prison cells in Fucheng are, you said that I don't pay them wages, the cells are so dirty, I don't know Clean up, what more wages do you need?"

Prefect Du also has his own reasons. If these people don't work, he won't pay them. If they want to get paid to support their family, they have to work hard.

He smoothed out all the others, except for those in the cell, he left it to Ding Tian to flex his muscles.

Who knew that Ding Tian didn't embarrass them, but took care of them in various ways, what about this group of people?And really listen to him.

"So Ding Tian cleaned it up." Master Du smiled wryly: "I heard that Prison Ding asked Old Zheng Uncle to find a mason. Now all the cells in the prison are equipped with kangs, painted the walls, and made new clothes. Not only the jailers, Even the criminals are involved, so they must be cleaned up anyway.”

When he was in Niujiao County, Master Du felt that Ding Tian was a very particular person, despite his young age, but he had very high requirements for the prison cell. He still remembered the white wall of the cell, with words hanging on it.

"Then let's go back and have a look!" Mrs. Du was also a little confused by the words.

And what about Ding Tian?

His cell is still being tidied up, the venue and personnel have been tidied up, but the food is not enough.

In the cell, one meal of meat is guaranteed every ten days. This is the food standard for the prisoners. Ding Tian has set it. On the fifth day, they will eat meat dishes, and of course they will be vegetarian dishes the rest of the time.

I made an agreement with the tofu shop that five boards of tofu will be sent to the prison kitchen on "three, six, and nine".

I also made an agreement with the butcher who sells meat, no matter it is windy or rainy, on five days, I will send fifty catties of meat to the kitchen of the government office prison. Ten catties of bones, boil soup to drink.

Another ten taels of silver was handed over to Uncle Zheng: "You can help us buy some ingredients, charcoal, etc. every day. If you don't have any, just tell me.

"

Uncle Zheng was moved: "Don't worry, you must take care of this little money."

"This is a month's worth of food materials. Tofu and meat have been removed. You can help buy some eggs, or some fish. As for dried vegetables and fresh vegetables, we buy them in large quantities, so we can negotiate prices directly." Ding Tian has already made careful calculations: "You don't need to go to the large batches, just give me a slot in the usual time, so that everyone can eat well, drink is fine, and you are not allowed in the prison."

Smell the wine. "

"Yes!" The jailers responded loudly in admiration.

Prison Ding is amazing, he has only been here for less than a month, okay, the old house has changed a lot, except that the prisoners have all shaved their heads, and now there is not even a flea left!

The cells are cleaner than their own homes. For this reason, many jailers cleaned up their homes after returning home.

In addition to being dissatisfied with the shaved head and body hair of the prisoners, their treatment is also much better. The first one is clean, and the second clothes are new!

There is also underwear, although it is said that this body cannot leave the cell, and the spring breeze is bitterly cold when they leave the cell, but they are locked up all day long, and they cannot go out of the cell at all.

Then there is food, it is no longer porridge and steamed buns with pickles, at least there is vegetable soup, there is a la carte, and occasionally you can drink broth, and sometimes, each person can get a piece of meat, although the amount is not enough. There are many, at least it can satisfy my hunger.

The last point makes some people very uncomfortable, because Ding Tian is very strict and does not allow such things as "prison bullies" to appear. If someone in the same cell is acting as a big brother, Ding Tian will ask the jailer to arrest him. He slipped out alone and was detained alone.

Don't think that living in a single room is a good thing. You are alone, in an empty cell, and there is no one to talk to... This is a very uncomfortable thing for prisoners, which is equivalent to confinement.

There are few people, so naturally it is impossible to hold a group to keep warm, and the jailers will not burn the kang for a while alone. After coming down twice, this group of people will be honest.

Ding Tian dealt with them very gently, never beating or scolding, and always making them submit.

There are bosses among the kidnappers, none of them are good people, but under Ding Tian's hands, they quickly became honest, and dishonesty is not acceptable. Ding Tian asked them to shave their hair and body hair. I don't know why. They are very afraid of Ding Tian...

Although Ding Tian didn't know that they were afraid of him.

But he is very happy that the work can continue normally.

It's just that he couldn't go back during Qingming, so he had to burn some Ming coins at the crossroads to pay homage to his ancestors.

people.

The next day, Wang Zuo invited him to dinner at the post station.

This time he went to the side door and went in quickly. In the flower hall, he drank hot tea and ate snacks, but he didn't see Mi Ying.

Seeing Ding Tian looking around, Wang Zuo knew what he was looking for: "Mi Ying has returned to Beijing, so there is no need to look for him."

"Oh..." Ding Tian bowed his head, drank tea and didn't eat any snacks.

In fact, seeing Wang Zuo, he was still a little embarrassed. He felt a sense of distance from Wang Zuo, and Wang Zuo was the same. The prison boss was not as lively as before.

There seems to be a huge distance between him and himself, as if he regards himself as "King Ning" instead of Wang Zuo like others.

"Why are you looking for a eunuch?" Wang Zuo asked Ding Tian angrily, "Do you have anything else to ask him?"

"No, I just haven't seen an eunuch... I'm curious." Ding Tian could hear Wang Zuo's displeasure, so he had to explain to him in a low voice: "And he doesn't look like a feminine eunuch, does he?"

"Have you no experience?" Wang Zuo sat there, and said disdainfully: "Who said that eunuchs want to be a bitch? As the chief executive next to the emperor, he sometimes represents the emperor, and he must have a good face." To be able to pass, you must have a good appearance, and you must also be energetic, otherwise, if a chief executive in front of the imperial court stands up and raises his orchid fingers, what will happen?"

"Really?" Ding Tian scratched his head: "Hehe, I see."

Wang Zuo took a sip of tea and pointed to a long silver curly bar: "Try a couple of sips, the dragon beard candy made by the Imperial Dining Room in Beijing is not available here."

"Okay, thank you..." Ding Tian took the dragon beard candy and ate it. The taste is much better than that of later generations, and it is purely handmade.

"This tea is the famous Dahongpao..."

Ding Tian drinks tea.

"Spiced melon seeds..."

Ding Tianmu melon seeds.

Finally Wang Zuo couldn't help it anymore: "Do you feel awkward being with me?"

Ding Tian thought to himself, he didn't hide, but was asked out, so he had to scratch his head: "Actually, I think it's a bit unbelievable, you are King Ning, there are only eight kings with different surnames in the whole Daqing, and the torch is passed on from generation to generation, hereditary. Wangdai. The princes of other families are enjoying the glory and wealth, but you came here... and were locked in a cell..."

"Hahaha...Speaking of which, it's thanks to you, otherwise, I would have suffered." Wang Zuo put down the tea bowl: "You also know the situation at that time, it was very dangerous."

"Hehe, I'm just... I just know what I want." Ding Tian smiled: "Besides, even without me, you won't be in danger."

risk. "

"It will be dangerous." Wang Zuo said, "You don't know, my stepmother, Concubine Ning, sent someone over, but she didn't dare to come here blatantly, so she played secretly with me and tried to lure the people around me. Go, let me be caught by those idiots, and want to get rid of me with the help of others, if it weren't for you...hehe..."

Ding Tian listened in cold sweat: "Really?"

Unexpectedly, there is such an inside story, no wonder... no wonder those people are so polite to him, and Wang Zuo also takes good care of him.

"En." Wang Zuo nodded.

"So, I'm your savior?" Ding Tian's eyes widened.

"Is it?" Wang Zuo nodded hesitantly.

"What do you mean? Just put?" Ding Tian became interested.

"Okay, that's it." Wang Zuo nodded this time with certainty.

"Then can I ask you to repay your life-saving grace?" Ding Tian almost looked at Wang Zuo with bright eyes. Didn't people in ancient times pay attention to "the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring"?

"What do you want?" Wang Zuo thought it was interesting, and imitated Ding Tian, ​​lying on the coffee table, almost forehead to forehead with Ding Tian.

"Hmm..." Ding Tian rolled his eyes, "I ask you to repay me with a spring."

"Hahaha...!" This time, Wang Zuo really laughed, unlike the sneer just now, and Ding Tian who laughed was cold all over.

Hearing Wang Zuo's laughter, Wang Fugui directed the cook even more attentively: "Go, make two more southern dim sums that you are good at, pack them up, and let him take them back when Ding Siyu leaves later." Taste it."

"Okay, what do you think of the taro paste? There are taro in the south, but not in the north." The cook said while making dim sum, "How about adding a lobster candy?"

"Okay, remember to save some for me." Wang Fugui took a sip of saliva: "I'll go see how the meal is."

Ding Tian chatted with Wang Zuo about his work. In fact, he really hoped that someone would affirm his work: "I think that even a prison needs to be clean, not dirty and messy. The prisoners are well managed. They are here with me. You have to listen to me, no one is allowed to have lice or fleas, otherwise I will not be able to eat..."

Wang Zuo's face was dark because he remembered that he... was also stripped naked by this guy....

He enjoyed the meal, and when he left, Ding Tian really carried two packs of snacks, followed by a carriage full of things.

A processed meat pig and two meat sheep.

This is the "thank you" Wang Zuo gave him, and Ding Tian took over, just in time, to add some oil and water to the people in the prison.

The next day he took two mutton sheep to the government office. Their meal was mutton soup, while the prisoner's was haggis soup.

Anyway, it is meat, and there is shredded cabbage in the haggis soup.

Ding Tian's work is going smoothly, Master Du is also looking around for spring plowing matters, it is almost April, there are green grasses sprouting, wild vegetables are growing, tender wild vegetables, only two or three young leaves, fat rhizomes, it tastes very delicious sweetness.

Now is the time to prepare for spring plowing, and the farmers have already begun to plow the land, but the officialdom in the three prefectures of the Northeast is just about to

move.

In the past, everyone governed independently, and the three governments competed with each other, and no one obeyed the other, but now it is different.

As soon as this imperial envoy came, he brought down a lot of officials, no matter which government office you belong to or who you are related to, from the chief envoy, political envoy, councilor, governor, prefect, etc., down to the A prison boss has been beaten by him all over the place!Now the three Northeast prefectures are extremely short of personnel, but the appointment above only gave the imperial envoy the title of "Northeast Governor".The governor of Northeast China is not a false position, but a position with real power. The governor's power is so great that he is simply a big official in frontiers!

He can recommend, appoint and remove all officials under him, the court supports him, and the officials do not reject him.

Coupled with his status as the hereditary iron hat king, who would dare to fight against him?

I can't even coax it!

The key is that this one doesn't come out!

People around me can't rely on it either.

How many people want to know what this lord's plan is, but he just won't come out in the station, letting the people outside be as anxious as mother ants on a hot pot!

Someone set the target on Ding Tian, ​​the prison guard, who made him the only one who could enter the post station to meet His Highness King Ning, apart from a few people.
