[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

Envoys from Japan and Goguryeo soon came to the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty.Usually, they lived in Honglu Temple, and occasionally went to the market to have a look.

What I want to explain here is that for ordinary people in Dajin, Dongying people are much more recognizable than Goguryeo people.Whether it's the braids on their heads or the clattering clogs under their feet, people can recognize the difference between them and the Central Plains people at a glance.In contrast, the Goguryeo people, except for the shorter Taoist robes, are not much different from the Dajin people.

Let’s talk about these Dongying people, although they are said to be envoys of a certain daimyo, but in fact, the Seto Fan is actually one of the countless lords of Dongying, and the Seto Fan started from pirates, and what they own is nothing more than a city.

If it hadn't been for Jia Yan's admonishment with the emperor, and proposed a plan to divide and encroach on Dongying, the Seto envoys headed by Seto Shanglong would not be eligible to live in Honglu Temple in Dajin.

As the young master of the Seto Clan, Seto Shanglong is very aware of this.

Walking on the streets of the Great Jin Dynasty, Aizawa Kogoro couldn't help exclaiming: "Wow, what a big house! It's so tall!"

Not to mention the Seto clan, even the thousand-year-old Kyoto in Japan is not as huge as the capital of the Jin Dynasty.This is a huge and majestic city.

"I say you guys, be curious, put away the knives in your hands! We're not here to fight!"

Seto Shanglong said to his subordinates like this.He is a young man in his early twenties. Compared with people from the Central Plains, he is not tall and straight, but his facial features are not bad.It's just that as the son of a pirate, after a lot of sun exposure, his skin turns bronze, which clearly shows his origin.

"Yes, young master." A white-haired old warrior-like person took the lead, and all the warriors agreed.

"Speaking of which, the Great Jin Dynasty is really powerful. We have not seen a few beggars along the way..."

Although young, Seto Shanglong is already an excellent young castellan.Just now when he was walking all the way, he quietly counted, the beggars or idle tramps he saw along the way will definitely not exceed five!

Not only today, but every day in the past, he wandered the streets all day, and he didn't see a few beggars.

"Are there no famines here?" @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

The old samurai said: "Young master, I have inquired about this issue with the Honglu Temple. The Honglu Temple said that there is a famine every year in Dajin, especially in Yuzhou thousands of miles away, in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, for 500 years. , has been ravaged by floods, droughts, and locust plagues. Their Queen Zhonggong built many Zhuangzi there and hired a large number of people to build water conservancy projects. Therefore, beggars who used to come to the capital every year went to Zhuangzi in Yuzhou. Now Most of the beggars who will appear in the capital are people who have lost their families around the capital. However, they are becoming less and less.” @无限好文，全在晋江文学城

"Oh? Empress Zhonggong." Seto Shanglong touched his chin, and said in Japanese: "You say, how about I go to attack Empress Zhonggong's boudoir at night?"

During this period, Japan still used the walking marriage system.After the aristocrats of Dongying Kyoto took a fancy to the ladies of a certain house, they would deliver letters and love letters, and then, after getting permission to visit, they would come to the door.Before the birth of the child, the men came in the evening and left in the early morning. It was not possible for the man and woman to move in together until after the child was born.

The house of the subjects has never paid attention to chastity, and women have no concept of chastity.The only place in Japan that can pay attention to this is probably the Imperial Palace of Japan.

"Young Master!" The old warrior was shocked, "What did you say?!"

"Just kidding, just kidding!" Seto Shanglong shrugged, and said: "I thought that their Empress Zhonggong was established as empress because she was young, beautiful and fertile, but it turned out not to be."

"Young master, please don't say such things. This is Dajin."

"I know I know." Seto Shanglong said with a bit of sarcasm.

Although he said so on his mouth, Seto Shanglong still narrowed his eyes:

Da Jin is really too rich.Look at this huge city. It took a day to walk from the east of the city to the west of the city.On both sides, there are rows of shops and houses, not to mention the main street, even most of the small alleys are paved with smooth bluestone slabs, and the ground looks clean because someone cleans it regularly.Unlike the Seto Clan, most of them are muddy, not to mention, walking on the road, from time to time, you can step on cow dung and human feces.

There are also houses. In Dongpu, only the houses of the city lords will be built on the high platform. Most of them are the houses of the common people. Even the houses of the small lords have only one floor.

But what about Da Jin?Look at the two sides of the street, how many restaurants and shops have two floors?Some are three or four floors!

From this alone, we can see how powerful and rich Dajin is!

"As expected of the Tang Dynasty."

Just as he was talking, he saw a few beggars in front of him not far away, one old and one young, stopped by two beggars, one old and one young. After a few words, the old man took the little grandson's hand and followed him away .

Shang Takashi Seto gave him a look, and his entourage, Kogoro Aizawa, immediately stepped forward to communicate with the people around him.

It turned out that since last year, local governments have been paying attention to local beggars and refugees. As long as there are beggars and refugees in the territory, the government will lead them to Yizhuang to settle down.Yizhuang has a room to sleep in, and also manages two meals.The jobs that people who enter Yizhuang need to do are mostly cleaning the streets and pouring night incense.

As the capital of Dajin, this policy is obviously the city that has been implemented most thoroughly and carefully.Yes, the Great Jin Dynasty inherited the laws of the previous dynasty. In the past, old and frail prisoners who were sentenced to imprisonment would be punished to sweep the streets. However, now, even if old and frail prisoners were sentenced to imprisonment, they would not I'm going to sweep the streets.

Seto Shanglong said: "But, in the past, only prisoners would sweep the streets. Now, don't the common people make trouble?"

"Young master, the light work of sweeping the streets was originally designed to take care of the elderly and frail prisoners. It is now given to those beggars and refugees. The beggars and refugees can eat enough, and they can eat two You can get wages for a meal of meat, but the prisoners can only eat steamed buns and still can’t get enough to eat, let alone wages. It is said that the emperor of Jin Dynasty specially issued an edict to the world in order to implement this law. "

The streets of Dajin are so clean because there are special people cleaning the streets regularly.Instead of being like before, because there is no dedicated person to clean it, the streets are always dirty, and there is even feces in the middle of the road.

Seto Shanglong is not a time traveler, he will not think there is anything wrong with feces on the street.

In fact, in Japan’s Kyoto in this era, nobles used bullock carts to get in and out, and there was a lot of cow dung in the middle of the streets. In summer, the smell on the streets was particularly intoxicating.As the heir of a daimyo who has been to Japan's Kyoto and seen the market, Seto Shanglong doesn't think it is necessary for the country to pay for money and food and hire people to clean the streets, but he estimates that in such a big city, if someone cleans the streets regularly, every day How much food do you need per month.

This also reflects the wealth of a country from the side.

And, strong.

Seto Shanglong's heart became even hotter.

He desperately hopes to be able to climb up to the nobles of Dajin, and then get the support of Dajin, so as to increase the strength of their Seto clan, and give them the opportunity to become the number one daimyo in Japan.

In the past, the Fujiwara family firmly controlled the political power, and after the end of the Insin administration era, Dongying entered the Warring States Period.Shang Takashi Seto also hoped that their Seto family would also be able to control the military power in Japan like the original Genjia and Heike family, and become the largest family in Japan besides the emperor's line.

When Seto Shanglong was walking on the streets of the Great Jin Dynasty, thinking about the future, several inconspicuous prison cars entered the prison of the Ministry of Justice through a special passage.

Then, several dignitaries secretly visited the Ministry of Punishment.

In the depths of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, there is a secluded corner, gloomy, treacherous, and hardly see the light of day.The prisoners who entered here, barring any accidents, had almost no chance of getting out alive.

In such a dungeon, in the darkest part, a few men with sloppy beards were locked in the depths of the cage, whether it was the tan left over from life at sea, the stretched muscles, or the radiant eyes, and The old scars under the tattered clothes clearly showed the identities of these people—pirates, or Japanese pirates.

During the days when Seto Shanglong submitted invitations to the nobles and high-level officials of the Jin Dynasty and waited for a reply, the three Japanese pirates were also counting the straw on the ground and counting the days.

Among the three, the younger one couldn't help but said: "Boss! Da Jin is lying to us! They just want to kill the boss!"

Another thin man said: "Shut up! If they really wanted to kill us, they would have done it long ago. Why would they wait until today!"

They speak Japanese.

The leader, Shinohara, was just looking at the blue sky outside the small, less than one-foot window above the wall, and remained silent.

It took a long time to hear his deep voice: "Sorry, Maori, Tanaka, I'm the one who dragged you down."

"Boss!" "Boss!"

At this moment, on the other side of the cell, the chain shook and made a crisp sound.

The three turned their heads immediately.

Even if they are in a cage, even if they are prisoners, it is difficult to hide their prowess.

If Shanglong Seto was here, he would definitely recognize that the leader, Masaoka Shinohara, was the most powerful and fierce pirate king in the East Sea!The other two are Shinosuke Mori and Masaichi Tanaka, the right-hand men of Masago Shinohara's subordinates.

The sound of footsteps came, and two guards came from the corner, took the key and opened the cell door, then shook their heads to signal them to follow them.

Shinohara Zhenggang and the three of them exchanged glances, and then followed.

Although they had shackles on their hands and a huge shot put around their ankles, they still walked at a leisurely pace.

When he came in, Xiao Yuanzheng had paid attention to it just now, but it was a pity that it was dark that day, so he didn't have time to take a closer look.But today, after walking through the cages one after another, seeing the strength of the guards, Xiao Yuan Zhenggang's heart sank little by little.

Not to mention the three of them, the shackles on their hands and the big shot put on their feet, even if they bet all of them, they may not be able to rob people from Dajin's prison!

It took a full three sticks of incense time before he walked out of the sky prison.Xiao Yuan just saw a typical government office building.

The guard who led the way stopped at the door and motioned for them to go in.

Shinohara took the lead and stepped over the threshold. Behind him, two subordinates, Shinnosuke Mori and Masa Tanaka, helped him carry the shot put on his feet into the door.

After walking in, two guards came up, searched them again, and after confirming that they had no weapons on them, they led them through the hallway and corridor after corridor, and finally came to a room House door:

"go in."

Just as Shinohara raised his head, he saw a red-robed official sitting behind a long table.

The Great Jin imitated the system of the Song Dynasty, and the official uniforms of officials were purple, followed by scarlet, followed by green, and the soap was covered with crow green.

Since setting foot on the land of the Great Jin, Xiao Yuan Zhengang had only seen one red-robed official, and that was the prefect of Zhangzhou who arrested them.But the prefect of Zhangzhou didn't catch them by force, but by deception. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

The author has something to say:

Imprisonment: Hard labor.Depending on the seriousness of the circumstances, everything from quarrying and coal digging to repairing the city wall and cleaning the streets were all included in the sentence.

The specific prison sentence depends on the prisoner's age, sex, ability, and a series of other factors.

Therefore, there will be a lot of subjectivity when deciding a case and making a ruling.
