At dawn the next day, Zhang Yuhang took Bai Zhan and A Da and left Tiantiansi directly early in the morning.
The three of them were wearing the most common casual clothes and walking on the street.
At this moment, even after many days of non-stop action, the streets in the early morning are still bustling with people and the cries of countless small vendors.
For the common people, it is much more comfortable after their life improves. There are not so many unnecessary exorbitant taxes and other protection fees. However, you still have to get what you have to pay with your own hands. Nothing in the world is free. Had lunch.
"Master, where are we going?"
"Let's take a look around first. I want to see what the vast city of Kyoto looks like now."
Zhang Yuhang looked at the endless flow of people, and he didn't feel relaxed at all.
The rise and fall of a city cannot be seen in the most prosperous place, because this is the face of a city. As long as an individual cares about his or her political performance, no city will lack such a place.
When it is most prosperous, there is a hint of coolness. Only places that are not taken seriously by people are the stubborn diseases of a place.
At this moment, in the Tiantian Division, Wang Lei stood expressionless in the room, with Chu Yun, Chen Kai and others on one side.
"Sir, we..."
"Just do what you have to do. If something goes wrong with the Governor's instructions, none of us will be able to explain to him. Since he trusts us so much, we can't let him down."
Chu Yun stood up and asked: "That's not what I'm talking about. How many people have we killed in the past few days? He is still going out on patrol alone. Can't we go and investigate what he wants to know?"
Unfortunately, aren't there still you night walkers who are trying to find out the news? How about letting him check it out on his own? If something really happens and Master Si Zheng is not here now, what should we do? "
Chen Kai, who originally wanted to speak, saw that Chu Yun had asked the question first, so he gave up and just looked at Wang Lei on the side, waiting for his answer.
These Tianjian Tiansi teamed up with Jingzhao Yin headed by Chen Jiwen, and killed too many people, and the scope involved was too wide, and there was an uproar in Kyoto.
At the same time, there are too many people who want to put themselves to death.
Wang Lei sighed. He also wanted Zhang Yuhang to stay in Jiantiansi, but this was not something he could do.
But besides Bai Zhan, Ada was also by his side now. Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He now feels that Zhang Yuhang is more difficult to serve than his own Lord Sizheng. He has no power to restrain a chicken, but his courage is greater than anything else. There is nothing he dares not to do, as if he is not afraid of death.
He didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky to have such a boss.
at the same time.
Zhang Yuhang and his party came to Xuanwumen in Xicheng, which is a bustling place integrating commerce, handicrafts, and three religions.
If you want to see the true situation of the people in Kyoto, only Xuanwumen and Zhengyangmen are the most suitable and can best reflect all this.
It's incredible how majestic a city that can accommodate millions of people looks from a distance.
The wisdom of the ancients is truly amazing and should not be underestimated.
Compared with the inner city, which is tidy and clean, with vast streets, Jing and Wei are divided.
The outer city obviously looked a lot more perfunctory, chaotic, dirty, and disorderly, but Zhang Yuhang was not surprised.
"Master, please do me a favor and give me a bite to eat. The child has been hungry for three days. If he doesn't eat something, he will starve to death."
Not far away, a man in ragged clothes, hunched over, begged the boy at a stall.
When the young man saw the man, he waved his hand impatiently and said: "Go, go, cool down and catch me, don't disturb my business."
Seeing that he couldn't ask for food, and thinking about the child who was about to starve to death, the man's eyes became fierce, he pushed the table away, took two steamed buns and stuffed them into his arms, and ran away.
When the boy saw this, he cursed secretly: "Fuck, here we go again!" '
He galloped away immediately, and within a moment, kicked the man to the ground.
"How dare you steal my steamed buns? Why don't you ask me about it? I'm not called the magical eunuch for nothing."
When doing business here, you don't have to have some skills, especially now, when wars are happening everywhere in the world, if you don't have the skills to make money, that's asking for death.
"stop!"
Seeing the two people running in front of him, Zhang Yuhang spoke, and Bai Zhan immediately went up to stop the movement of the magical eunuch, grabbing his shoulders and making him unable to move.
Ah Da, on the other hand, looked at the pedestrians around him with sharp eyes, worried that there was a killer lurking among them, and unconsciously leaned towards Zhang Yuhang's side to prevent any accidents.
If there was the slightest movement, he would take action instantly and tear anyone who took action into pieces.
"Don't be nervous, give this boss some scraps of silver, buy some steamed buns, and bring some hot water."
Zhang Yuhang said something, then pulled up the middle-aged man and said, "Uncle, your accent doesn't sound like someone from Kyoto, but rather like someone from the Southern Region, right?" '
"Yes, this young master, I am from Qing'an County in the Southern Region. I really couldn't survive anymore, so I fled to the capital. I originally thought that when I arrived in the capital, I would have a way to survive under the emperor's feet, but who would have thought? think....."
"How long have you been in the capital?"
"It's been seven or eight days."
For seven or eight days, Zhang Yuhang thought secretly.
The news of the incident in the Southern Territory only reached Kyoto in the past few days, but since then people have been fleeing here, and coupled with the large amount of time spent on the road, it can be inferred that the chaos in the Southern Territory did not happen overnight at all, but has been accumulated for a long time. break out.
"Sir, you don't know how our people in the Southern Territory have been living these past few years. There are countless excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes imposed by the internal court, and there are powerful families from all over the country who are oppressing us. In addition, rebels from all over the country are constantly rising up. We are simply helpless. It’s a lawless life.”
"In July of this year, there happened to be a long drought in the southern region, and the grass and trees were withered. The imperial court not only refused to provide disaster relief and reduce taxes, but also increased taxes even more. Our taxes have been increased to the level of three years ago. , a normal farmer, who can get it."
"But that's it. The local officials actually found a few typical people and beat them to death in public, forcing us to sell our sons and daughters to collect the court's taxes. In the end, we found out that almost all the extra taxes we paid were used by powerful families and the government. After the partition, the court did not receive it, but we were forced into desperation and our families were ruined.
In the end, they were forced to have no choice but to rise up and fight with the local government and aristocratic families, while people like us had no choice but to drag our families and move away to beg for a way to survive. "
Aristocratic family, another aristocratic family.
Damn it!
