No.20 Five Moments: Trivia in Guangzhou
In late December of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Guangzhou
After another night, Guangzhou City, which is warm in all seasons, ushered in a new morning.
When many Guangzhou citizens who are used to getting up late are still asleep, Zhang Yu, the young owner of Huifu Lane, slowly walks out of the ancestral walnut cake shop with his schoolbag in his arms.Several elderly people who got up early and were laying down the bunk boards saw him and greeted him warmly: "... Xiamizi is back to school", Zhang Yu also greeted them one by one, leaving behind him an admiration: "...It is really knowledgeable, my big head How long will it take to learn this?"
Zhang Yu, 15 years old, is currently studying at Nanyu Community School. He is a good boy in the eyes of his parents and a good student in the eyes of his neighbors.It's just that when he turned to Yongqing Street (now Beijing Road South), he couldn't help but stop and linger—the street is not wide, but a track with two iron bars is being built. The horse-drawn railway will only cost a few pennies to get to the "big world" under construction by the Pearl River.Zhang Yu had never seen horses pulling carts, but there were often small iron carts passing by on the track. As long as the two of them pushed up and down, they could walk like flying.
After lingering for a long time, Zhang Yu was already late when he arrived at the social school, but the old teacher who taught hadn't arrived yet, only the senior took everyone to endorse.This gentleman is currently obsessed with Kunren Mark Six Lottery. Once in class, a group of students were reading: "... The Master said: I have five years of ten and I am determined to learn, thirty to stand, forty without confusion, and fifty to know." Destiny, sixty and ears are smooth..." The gentleman suddenly jumped up and shouted: "...I got it"!Zhang Yu, who was distracted, jumped in fright, and then the husband rushed out of the room, leaving a class of students staring at him.
Later, Zhang Yucai heard from his senior that it turned out that the husband found the number of the Mark Six lottery in the book, and he also won the third prize, taking five taels of silver.Since then, my husband's enthusiasm for gambling has grown even higher.Last month, Zhang Yu actually saw Mr. Zhang Yu and a group of laborers in short shirts talking about hot numbers at the entrance of a Mark Six lottery shop. He didn't have the noble look in class at all. Recently, he has almost disappeared. come to class
Everyone memorized a few paragraphs of the book carelessly, and the senior announced: "...Mr. wants everyone to carefully study "Selected Works of the Times" No. 13."
Next, those obedient and good students will naturally take out their books to study the articles.Not so obedient students... Li Ziyu next to Zhang Yu winked for a while, while Zhang Yu pushed the other two friends Zeng Juan and Chen Shixin tacitly, and then the four of them packed their schoolbags and played truant ——Anyway, the seniors never care.
After running out of the study, a group of friends chatted and laughed to enjoy the fun of skipping school.The owner of a bookstall on the street saw them waving: "Masters, the latest Romance of the Three Kingdoms doll book has arrived." They stopped immediately and caught up with the one who took a comic book and looked for it in the crowd. Zhang buried his head on the stool and looked up.Only Chen Shixin, who was from a poor family, was reluctant to spend money and just looked behind him.
Although the books printed by this Australian are all in vulgar script, as long as you get used to it, there is no problem. Besides, the calligraphy and painting are exquisite, and even a few grandmas can read it with relish.Of course, what they read are dramatic stories about wits and beautiful women, knights and witches, and they even shed a few tears when they see the bitterness.
After a long time, several people reluctantly put the comic book back on the bookshelf, and searched up and down again. Seeing that there were no new books, they paid the money and squeezed out.Don't forget to shout out: When the new Romance of the Three Kingdoms arrives, remember to notify us!
"...Master Guan is the best." Walking on the street, the teenagers who were still immersed in their books chattered.
"...The next episode should be about Xu Chang."
"...Fart! If you haven't watched the trailer for the next episode, you're going to Maicheng."
"...It was Maicheng that frightened Cao Cao to death before leaving. My mother-in-law told me."
"...Don't make noise, don't make noise, one episode will come out in ten days."
"...The Romance of the Three Kingdoms doll book only comes out once every ten days, so I can't wait."
A few people chatted and laughed, and then saw a new thing on the street: a man was standing behind a strange stall and hawked it, with a guise of "Australian Famous Items" hanging beside it.The teenagers leaned over curiously and looked at the thing in the man's hand—it looked like a basin, but it was taller and deeper than the basin. A hole was drilled in the center, and some kind of machinery was supported by metal pipes. A fire was burning from under the little metal canister-like central part, which began to whirl and swish as the peddler's foot stepped on a pedal.Then the peddler took out a small paper bag and poured the "Australian white sugar" into the rotating jar.
Next, what happened in front of them made the eyes of the teenagers widen - I saw countless slender white silk threads quietly appearing in the big basin-like thing, like spider silk, and the men were very relaxed. I used a brazing iron to wind around the basin—soon, those entangled silk threads became a big fluffy mass, "...cotton candy! It's so sweet! Do you want a bunch?" the peddler asked with a smile.
The itchy teenagers took out a few copper coins one after another, and each bought a string. First, they took a bite carefully, and immediately felt the fragrance of candy soaking the tip of their tongues, and then, everyone began to bite. The marshmallow ball is so full of sweetness that it almost overflows... It's a pity that this kind of thing seems to be too sweet, and it seems that it feels a little tired after eating.
After eating the marshmallows, everyone continued on the road, and soon came to the edge of the Pearl River. There was a big boat-shaped stone in front of them. It was Haizhu Stone, which was one of the eight scenic spots in Yangcheng at that time. Temple, looking from afar, the temple is full of people.Instead of joining in the fun, they went to the "secret base" by the river: under a big banyan tree by the embankment.As soon as he sat down in the shade of the tree, Chen Shixin couldn't wait to take out an Australian charcoal pencil from his schoolbag, and began to copy the comic book he had just read.The other three were no strangers to this painting idiot, so Zeng Juan suggested, "...let's play Three Kingdoms!"
Li Ziyu took out his schoolbag and said, "...don't worry, my family bought a new game from Kunren yesterday."
Zhang Yu stretched out his hand and took a look: "...The Assistant Prime Minister of Ming Dynasty? Is it the promotion map of the Kun people?"
"...It's much more fun than the promotion picture. I heard that it was created by the prince of the Kun people. The Kun people like to worship this sage the most. It can keep the house safe."
Then, while listening to Li Ziyu's explanation, everyone studied the manual by themselves, and they got started very quickly, and the more they played, the more they got into it
"...you colluded with the eunuchs!"
"...I want to defend myself!"
"...The first assistant's holy family is almost gone, impeachment!"
After half an hour of the card battle, Li Ziyu successfully ascended to the top position. The three of them joked with each other while tidying up. The topic soon turned to Liao affairs. They no longer regard the duel of generals as the main content of the war—the articles they read in magazines quickly transformed into their own thoughts, and they rushed out of everyone's mouths:
"We must form a spear array, this is the famous stunt of Marshal Huangshi!"
"That's right, as long as they stab to the right together, the Tartars will be helpless! And shaking the spear can break the rain of arrows!"
Zeng Juan triumphantly stretched out a finger, shook his head and said, "Even if the Tatars are good at fighting, one can be as good as ten, and the number of their tribes who can fight is no more than 20. Our Ming Dynasty has a large population. Even if we choose one out of a hundred, we can choose two million." Spearmen, destroy the Kun and slaughter the Tartars! I hate that the officials of the court will be used as wine bags and food bags, and all the princes in the court will be punished. The Liao and Kun affairs are nothing to worry about! Not to mention the barbarians in the Southwest!"
Zhang Yu snorted: "...200 million? Where did you get so much money to recruit soldiers?"
"...Liaodong is fertile for thousands of miles, and the Liao people have been slaughtered. You can give elite soldiers and soldiers grant land certificates. If you return to Liao, you will get the land. How dare the soldiers die?"
Before Zhang Yu could open his mouth, a steam whistle sounded on the river, and a Kunren steamboat pushed the waves up the river.Although they have long been familiar with the strangeness, a sense of powerlessness still flooded everyone's hearts.Chen Shixin also put down the charcoal pencil, and murmured: "...the Kun people have fierce firearms, what can I do? What can I do?"
Li Ziyu sneered and said: "...Although the Kun thief's firearm is fierce, my Ming Dynasty also has a big killer weapon."
Zhang Yu knew that Li Ziyu's uncle was Qianwei Qianhu in Guangzhou, so he often boasted that he could read Daming's "Wu Bei Zhi", and immediately asked: "...Is it the fire dragon that you said last time?"
"...No, no." Li Ziyu waggled her fingers and learned to turn the text: "...this thing is called a flying sand cylinder, take two rockets upside down and tie them together, and shoot them into the enemy's canopy to spray them The poisonous sand is designed to hurt the eyes of thieves."
"...That's not surprising at all!"
"...The strangest thing is that after the arsenopyrite is sprayed, another rocket can fire backwards and fly back to the base camp. Although the guns are sharp, they should have never seen them before. They must be terrified and inexplicable. Our officers and soldiers Taking advantage of the situation to hide and kill, it is as easy as flipping the palm of your hand!"
——What Li Ziyu didn't say is that this kind of enemy-destroying artifact only exists on paper, and no one in Guangzhou has seen the real thing... But everyone didn't know the inside story, so they all praised and praised, and Zeng Juan was even more excited: "... Our Great Ming has a wealth of talents, even though the Kun bandits are fierce for a while, they will definitely be inferior to our Celestial Dynasty!"
But after Zhang Yu was excited, he turned his head and thought about it carefully: Even if such a magical weapon is a novelty, how many people can it scare?How many times have you bluffed?Wouldn't it be better to cancel the flying rocket and put more arsenopyrite gunpowder?But Li Ziyu's family is a military officer for generations, and he can read books that ordinary people can't see. He is considered a VIP in their small circle, so he should not question it in public...
And Zeng Juan on the other side has become enraged: "...I, Daming, have this artifact but can't use it. It is precisely because of these corrupt officials and the gangsters. I heard that the gangsters were still in private in the Ziming building the day before yesterday. Gather the gentry and officials in Guangzhou, and hold a sea and sky feast and a group of warblers, and the sound of debauchery spreads outside the building! If you want to destroy the country, you must first destroy the morals of the scholars, and the evil intentions of the gangsters are so poisonous!"
"...Kun thief has no king and no father, he is lustful by nature, and he is most used to hooking up with shameless people!"
The young scholars scolded them vigorously, but Chen Shixin, who had been silent all this time, said hesitantly: "...Actually, I think Kun people are not bad, at least they never disturb the people. Even businessmen like to do business with them."
Li Ziyu immediately sneered in dissatisfaction: "...you speak good words to the gangster, why don't you shave your head and run away?"
But Zhang Yu suddenly realized: "...Could it be that... Shixin, you went to contact Kunren?"
At this moment, everyone immediately cheered up and booed Chen Shixin to tell the truth.Chen Shixin refused, so he had to admit that he was really curious yesterday and went to the "Big World" construction site by the river to play. "...that big world is really majestic." Chen Shixin swallowed his saliva, and described it this way, "...there are iron frames and glass inlaid everywhere. Although there are no dragons and phoenixes, it is quite shocking."Excited to see it, I couldn't help but took out a pen and paper and started to draw.
I was painting vigorously, but a voice sounded from my side: "The perspective here is wrong".Chen Shixin was startled suddenly, but when he looked back, he was a smiling man with a short shaved head, tall and straight, and he spoke northern mandarin, obviously a real man.
Before, Chen Shixin had seen Zhen Kun from a distance, but this was the first time he was so close. Although he was a little scared, he was also a little dissatisfied—he felt itchy because he saw the unheard-of illustrations in Kun Ren's book, so I also bought charcoal pencils to copy, although there is no teacher's guidance, I rely entirely on my own talent, but the paintings are always [-] to [-]% similar, and the viewers are all amazed, but now they are criticized for being wrong, and they are naturally not convinced.
But Zhen Kun was a good teacher, so he simply sat down next to him, and talked to him about the principle of perspective and painting techniques for half an hour, and even brought out Kun Ren's album, the lifelike oil paintings and sketches, It immediately opened Chen Shixin's horizons.In the end, Zhen Kun, who looked like a painter, even invited him to Lingao, saying that there was a special place to learn painting there, and it was easy to find a job after learning painting, and the salary was absolutely favorable.
"...Don't you really want to go to Lingao with that real hair painter?" Li Ziyu said seriously, "...that's a thief!"
"...I really can't figure it out!" Chen Shixin's eyes were full of confusion: "...Actually, I really don't want to study anymore. Anyway, with my level, I can't pass the exam. I just want to Painting, thinking of being able to draw such a painting, it is really worth dying for.”
Thinking of their own future, everyone couldn't laugh anymore and fell into silence.

After bidding farewell to a few friends, Zhang Yu walked home step by step lazily. When he arrived at the tea house at the street, he heard someone call him: "...Young master! Here, here!", looking around, it turned out to be the tea house storyteller.So Zhang Yu sat down at the table honestly, and the storyteller pushed over a basket of vegetarian steamed stuffed buns flatteringly: "...Master, eat buns, eat buns!"——Zhang Yu has been saving money and skipping lunch these days, Just in time to feast on.
Wait until Zhang Yu finishes his refreshments.The storyteller handed over a copy of "Story Club" with a smile on his face—this storyteller was semi-literate, so he always invited Zhang Yu to read these market books as his source of storytelling materials.
So, Zhang Yu took out his handkerchief and wiped his hands, turned to the serial "Intimate Paradise", and read it in a low voice: "... last time, it was said that Mr. Guanxi sent the bookcase to be repaired, and lost a few books in the interlayer. Hundreds of photos of the secret play were widely circulated, and Miss Jiaojiao was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to commit suicide..."
After reading for a long time, the storyteller came to his senses and wiped his saliva: "...the Australian really has a lot of tricks. Is there anything more exciting?"
Zhang Yu flipped through the pages: "...these two anecdotes from the market are good: Haitian Feast for Orioles Meeting, Xiangshan County Cellar Slave Case..."
After finishing the book, the storyteller gave Zhang Yu five copper coins, plus the food money saved from skipping lunch for the past few days, it should be enough money to buy the next issue of "Research on War History"... Thinking of this, Zhang Yu's steps also became brisk.
Back home, the mother, who was sulking in front of the shop, couldn't help smiling when she saw her son coming back. She followed behind and kept asking about his studies, and brought a pot of hot tea and a plate of freshly baked walnut cakes.Zhang Yu wanted to go downstairs to help his father crack walnuts, but his mother didn't do it: "...the younger generation can just concentrate on studying."Then he babbled about the difficulty of doing business, and cheated the errands of hundreds of renminbi, which is equivalent to doing nothing today. Look at the tailor shop in the east, Shaodong, who was admitted as a scholar, and the errands and beggars dare not come. , our family's hope is on you, Yunyun...
"...No matter what, you must be a scholar!" With this final instruction, the noisy mother finally left, and Zhang Yu, who finally calmed down in her ears, opened "Selected Works of the Times" with a solemn and solemn expression. The question No.13 I watched is a cut-off question, or an inexplicable ruthless answer: "Mrs. Jun's sexual desire", it seems that it is just some inexplicable breaking questions, rambling questions, and empty speeches. Zhang Yu Immediately, I felt stuffy and bored in my heart. I read it reluctantly for a while, and finally sighed a long time, and pushed the book away casually.
Although "the oath of being a scholar" is still ringing in his ears, Zhang Yu couldn't help taking out the "Research on War History" from the bookcase after all. He had read it through several times before, but it still looks so Fresh and exciting.Turning to the back cover, there is an advertisement for the new book: the classic science fiction of Australia and Song Dynasty debuts!Science fiction everyone vomits blood!The masterpiece you must read this year!A mind-blowing adventure!Australia Song Publishing House made a huge contribution!
Rubbing the title of "From the Earth to the Moon", Zhang Yu was full of curiosity - he had read that fantasy novel, and in the "Research on War History" in his hand, there was a serial political fantasy novel "Motherland" ", it tells the story of the invasion and subjugation of the barbarian Shuiqing Kingdom by the Sun and Moon Dynasty. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that it is talking about Daming and Jiannu. If it happened, the government would probably just sneer at it: "...How could it be possible for Daming to be killed by the Jurchens, and to return Shenzhou Luchen for 300 years? It's absurd!"
But Zhang Yu has never read science fiction novels, and it is really itchy, but the book price also makes him shake-although since the Australian came, he has beaten the old bookstore to nothing, how much is the book price? The percentage is down, but I only have a little pocket money occasionally given by my parents. The Australians keep coming out with new things, such as new episodes of Latin-Australian movies, and assembled models of warships for a while. Not enough flowers.
Recalling what Chen Shixin said by the Pearl River in the morning, Zhang Yu was also confused. In fact, how many talents can be selected in social studies?Most parents send their sons to school just because they want to learn how to recognize a few words and read the books.But even if he didn't read on, and came back to inherit this small shop at home and make pastries for a lifetime, Zhang Yu felt a little lost and bored, plus a little bit of unwillingness—since Kunren came, he realized that apart from the Four Books and Five Classics, , and such a wonderful world, in the words of my mother, I have "lost my heart", and the only golden road to success in my mind now seems so narrow and closed...
Then, a crazy idea began to sprout in Zhang Yu's mind:
"...Since reading is so boring, how about calling Shang Shixin and going to the legendary Lingao 'Kun City' together?"
——On the other hand, just as the aborigines of Daming in Guangzhou looked at the "Australian Kun people" who broke into their lives with their own eyes, the "old Kun people" who entered Guangzhou were also understanding through their eyes and channels. Seeing how the natives of Ming Dynasty felt about outsiders like themselves...

Outside Guangzhou, the "Big World" construction site built by Australians
Due to the close of the new year and the workers returning home for the New Year, this large-scale commercial and entertainment complex has basically stopped working.Formerly a graduate of the urban planning major in time and space, Qi Feng, the veteran of Lingao Construction Corporation, checked the construction drawings of the "Guangzhou World" for the last time, and after confirming that there were no problems, he also stretched out and left the engineering headquarters. Board room, turn back to a nearby temporary residence.
Thanks to the largest urbanization process in the history of mankind at the beginning of the 21st century, several of the elders in Lingao have studied and practiced urban planning.However, the executive committee in power is all advocates of the creed of "engineers governing the country". According to the mind of a certain boss who seems to have evolved into a mechanical function computer, all work in the world can be decomposed into n-element n-degree equations or matrices. Urban planning is nothing more than a four-element matrix composed of industrial supporting radius, resource supply radius, local support capacity and investment scale. As for the artistry and aesthetic feeling, it is purely superfluous.
However, Qi Feng’s opinion is completely opposite. He was born in the narrow streets and alleys of the old city of Hangzhou. When he was in elementary school, he saw a wall calendar of foreign city scenery. The heart suppressed by the narrow living environment suddenly found a way to release. Architectural painting, crazy reading about everything related to Eastern and Western architecture.Later, this belief in the pursuit of architectural beauty supported him to be admitted to a famous university majoring in urban planning, supported him to become a part-time architectural painter, and then supported him to change several jobs in the design of sewers on the ground, and finally Support him to resolutely go back to ancient times, just to be able to build many landmark buildings full of character and beauty.
However, even in the world of the seventeenth century, the senate could hardly provide him with the opportunity to realize his ideals for the time being, so this ultra-idealist senator could only pour his enthusiasm on the drawing paper, smearing every day, Practice hard.Because Lingao's oil paints were not self-produced, it was difficult to buy oil paints and brushes at that time in Macao.He can only practice sketching and sketching with carbon sticks.When he was in Lingao, he drew all the buildings with a little history in and outside the city. People can often see Qi Yuan holding a sketchbook, standing on the smoky grass or ruins, facing a dilapidated building. The building flicks its head.From time to time, he could be seen crawling around on dilapidated ancient buildings, so Qi Feng got the nickname "Liang Sicheng of Lingao" in the Senate - unfortunately, there was no Ms. Lin Huiyin to accompany him.
After coming back to Guangzhou to preside over the construction project of the "Guangzhou World" entertainment mall, Qi Feng also often used his spare time to wander around, taking pictures and sketching.Yesterday, he also happened to meet a local young scholar who was squatting outside the Dashijie construction site and sketching from nature. What is amazing is that this young scholar only had no art textbooks or teacher guidance. With personal interest and referring to illustrations in Senate publications, I learned a lot.Although there are some errors and omissions in the drawing, the flaws are not concealed after all.
Therefore, Qi Feng enthusiastically taught the young man some painting skills, and he also wanted to invite this rare and good seedling to learn painting in Lingao, and even had the idea of accepting an apprentice himself—Of course, Qi Feng also knew this. The chances of success are not high. The other party is not a poor kid in ragged clothes who has nowhere to go, but a well-educated young scholar. After all, his family should have some property and status, so it is difficult to give up the "right way" of a scholar. I ran to Lingao to join the Senate, and it was because of the despised "trail" of painting...
Hey, there are always people who are unhappy in the world!
With a little melancholy, Qi Feng pushed open the door of the temporary residence, and saw the person in charge of Guangzhou Station, Guo Yi, the future director of "Guangzhou Great World", sitting at the table, reading a handwritten book with the impressive title It is "Kun Shi Zhi Lu".
——"Kunshizhilu" is a "strange book" about how people in the Ming Dynasty viewed themselves as traversers. The "Australian veterans" in Lingao have heard of it for a long time. Guo Yi, an expatriate stationed in Guangzhou, should have read this book a long time ago, why did he have to re-read it now?Could it be that such nonsense and strange talks are worth studying repeatedly?
"...Because there are many versions of "Kun Shi Zhi Lu", the newer the version, the more content. In fact, this book was jointly created by several scholars from Lingao County from the beginning, and after it spread, Every time they are copied, they will add the rumors and perceptions they have heard."
Guo Yi slowly took a sip of tea from his cup, and replied like this, at the same time, he opened the "Kun Shi Zhi Lu" in his hand and pushed it in front of Qi Feng, "...I circled these with a red pen, It’s all new content, you might as well take a look, it’s quite interesting.”
Qi Feng looked intently, and immediately saw a section of "Purging Fire Map": "...Uncle Lantian's collection of Overseas Fire Pitting Map has four volumes of album pages, titled "Longyang Point", "Prison China", "Li Huo Luo", "Misty Dream", with gold loops and silver belts, is a very secret treasure. The four volumes all describe the love affairs of Longyang in the previous dynasty. It was convenient. One day, Uncle Tian met Zhang Tiansun to ask for a drink. Tao An slapped his hands and laughed and said: "Before that, the folks who lived in Australia who were left behind in the Song Dynasty played tricks. Unexpectedly, Uncle Tian is also a bosom friend! "So I brought it into the study, and there were no less than a hundred tooth sticks and jade sticks, all of which were stored in overseas water jade boxes. There was also a letter "Jin Ping Mei Qi Biography", the style of writing was similar to that of Tian Shu's collection, and You Jing also..."
"...Hey, I didn't expect the scholars of the Ming Dynasty to be so interested in danmei comics? I thought only rotten girls would like to read that kind of stuff!" Qi Feng couldn't help shaking his head, "...and this 'bi What does Huo Tu' mean?"
"...No way, from the late Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, it was a popular fashion among scholars to engage in base games. Zhang Dai, the 'Mr. A well-known son of a family. And Jia Baoyu in Dream of the Red Chamber, isn't he also gay?
As for the fire picture, it means the picture of the erotic palace, because in traditional Chinese folklore, the god of fire usually comes down to the earth in the form of a woman to set fire, so book collectors think that hanging a picture of the erotic palace in the library can make the goddess ashamed and helpless. Arson, hence the name. "
——This weird traditional folk custom made Comrade Qi Feng, a lover of ancient architecture, feel a little embarrassed for a while: Imagine, according to such traditional habits, if future generations have not experienced the destruction of the four olds, then every gas station On the walls of the flammable goods warehouse and the library, there must be a slogan of "beware of fire and candles", and a erotic picture of a man and a woman having sex... This scene is so beautiful that I dare not look at it...
If you read on further, there is an article "Kun People's Luxurious Food" with a red circle below: "...When I lived in Nanjing, there was a sea merchant named Liu who went to Lingao several times, and talked with him about the affairs of Kun, vividly. Kun People imitate the ancient Zhongming Dingshi, rarely cook separately, and eat together in one place, which is called "canteen", such as the temple's Zhaitang. Every meal must have fish and meat, vegetables and vegetables with more than ten flavors, and the cooking rice is all polished rice. Those who are full will stop. Even if the fake kun hires a servant, it will only reduce vegetables and vegetables. The fake kun is newly attached, and Jinghua can sit and eat for ten months. Therefore, the poor in Guangdong and Qiongyang have no way to survive, and often use this as a means of survival. door too.
I collect food from people in the dynasty, and eat local food according to the law, but there may be shortages, soldiers complain about local areas, often troublesome, or harass, or plunder, and sometimes slander.If great work is to be carried out, there will be a shortage of food for the common people, the strong may be full, and the weak will inevitably be tossed in the ravine.The Kun people went out to carry their own grain and fodder, and the meals were more than usual, so the soldiers did not disturb the people, and the people were at peace.When the Kun people start work, although there are thousands of people, everyone still has food, and it is better than those at home. Therefore, when the Kun people recruit workers, many people compete to come, and some even curse and beat each other.
According to kun people, at the beginning, there were still few food mouths, and later they took in fake kuns, which cost tens of thousands, and there were many index fingers, and they all provided food like this.As far as our court is concerned, although the government is absolutely incapable of doing this.Kun people are able to do this, and it can only be explained by "their nature is extravagant and extravagant"..."
"...Hehe, compare the cafeteria to the dining hall in the temple... What's the sound of bells and tripods... Well, but, it seems to have a little truth. In the eyes of the ancients, compared with the stainless steel rice bucket, the copper tripod is indeed better than the rice bucket. It's eye-catching... As for the ringing of the bell, Lingao uses electric bells during lunch breaks and meals, and it seems that there are indeed bells ringing in places where there is no electricity..."
Qi Feng commented while shaking his head like this, and turned to the next article "Nv Kun" with a red circle: "... At the end of the Song Dynasty, when the Kun people died at the beginning, most of them were out of danger, and their families and daughters all dispersed. As for Australia, there are more than ten males and females. Most of the kuns are descendants of the nobles of the previous dynasty, and most of the local women in Australia are black and ugly, and kuns all avoid them. Therefore, at the beginning, the population was not prosperous. After more than a hundred years of living, people Ding is in the tens of thousands, and the number of female kun is less than five-one. Therefore, it is customary in Australia to regard women as treasures. If a woman is pregnant and conceives a daughter in ten months, the congratulatory family will be full of congratulations, and the family will be rich. This is because of the laws of the kun people. Different from the Central Plains, when a man and a woman get married, they need to report to the government for "registration". Healthy women are beautiful. Maybe it is said that the rituals of Kun are broken and music is bad. Female Kun often has multiple husbands. But thinking about it, it may be because the population is too sparse. After the Kun people took over the land of Yueqiong, they bought the Central Plains women in a big way , choose the tall and strong ones with natural feet. Girls train them to use the art in the house, and these women call it "secret art", and they are matched with Kun people as concubines. Or heard that Kun people use firecrackers to fight for concubines Those who shoot each other to death..."
"...Whether concubines and concubines shot each other to death?" Qi Feng was a little confused at first, and then his face turned pale with shock, "...Although no one died at the time, but...could it be that the 'maid revolution' back then actually happened? Did it reach the ears of the natives of the Ming Dynasty?"
——After the training of the first batch of maids or "Xiaomi" was completed, conflicts broke out between the elders over distribution issues. Although they didn't get to the point of killing people, the situation was very unbearable. better than...
"...God knows, although this matter is embarrassing, the Senate had issued a silence order at the time, but by the time the order was issued to block the news, it was already a bit late. The aborigines and naturalized people in Dongmen City might have heard something, and this There's always a shortage of guys who like gossip."
Guo Yi spread his hands, "...We can't start a literary prison just for such a trivial matter, let's behead everyone who hears about it..."
After chatting like this for a while, Guo Yicai brought up the business - the joint fleet of the Huamei, the East Coast and the "real" Australians has now anchored from Batavia and headed north, preparing to hold a global traveler summit in Lingao to discuss a A series of issues of division of rights and spheres of influence and cooperation.
The Lingao Senate naturally attached great importance to this matter, and ordered all the elders who were away to return to the meeting except for the necessary left-behind personnel.And Qi Feng was naturally included in the recall. Guo Yi came this time to inform him to leave for the Hong Kong base first, and then return to Lingao on a naval warship.
However, while the real power figures in the Senate system of Lingao traversers are rushing back to Hainan Island in an endless stream, there is also a high-ranking leader who braves the howling cold wind in winter and walks alone. Embarked on a journey northbound...
No.20 Five Moments: Trivia in Guangzhou
In late December of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Guangzhou
After another night, Guangzhou City, which is warm in all seasons, ushered in a new morning.
When many Guangzhou citizens who are used to getting up late are still asleep, Zhang Yu, the young owner of Huifu Lane, slowly walks out of the ancestral walnut cake shop with his schoolbag in his arms.Several elderly people who got up early and were laying down the bunk boards saw him and greeted him warmly: "... Xiamizi is back to school", Zhang Yu also greeted them one by one, leaving behind him an admiration: "...It is really knowledgeable, my big head How long will it take to learn this?"
Zhang Yu, 15 years old, is currently studying at Nanyu Community School. He is a good boy in the eyes of his parents and a good student in the eyes of his neighbors.It's just that when he turned to Yongqing Street (now Beijing Road South), he couldn't help but stop and linger—the street is not wide, but a track with two iron bars is being built. The horse-drawn railway will only cost a few pennies to get to the "big world" under construction by the Pearl River.Zhang Yu had never seen horses pulling carts, but there were often small iron carts passing by on the track. As long as the two of them pushed up and down, they could walk like flying.
After lingering for a long time, Zhang Yu was already late when he arrived at the social school, but the old teacher who taught hadn't arrived yet, only the senior took everyone to endorse.This gentleman is currently obsessed with Kunren Mark Six Lottery. Once in class, a group of students were reading: "... The Master said: I have five years of ten and I am determined to learn, thirty to stand, forty without confusion, and fifty to know." Destiny, sixty and ears are smooth..." The gentleman suddenly jumped up and shouted: "...I got it"!Zhang Yu, who was distracted, jumped in fright, and then the husband rushed out of the room, leaving a class of students staring at him.
Later, Zhang Yucai heard from his senior that it turned out that the husband found the number of the Mark Six lottery in the book, and he also won the third prize, taking five taels of silver.Since then, my husband's enthusiasm for gambling has grown even higher.Last month, Zhang Yu actually saw Mr. Zhang Yu and a group of laborers in short shirts talking about hot numbers at the entrance of a Mark Six lottery shop. He didn't have the noble look in class at all. Recently, he has almost disappeared. come to class
Everyone memorized a few paragraphs of the book carelessly, and the senior announced: "...Mr. wants everyone to carefully study "Selected Works of the Times" No. 13."
Next, those obedient and good students will naturally take out their books to study the articles.Not so obedient students... Li Ziyu next to Zhang Yu winked for a while, while Zhang Yu pushed the other two friends Zeng Juan and Chen Shixin tacitly, and then the four of them packed their schoolbags and played truant ——Anyway, the seniors never care.
After running out of the study, a group of friends chatted and laughed to enjoy the fun of skipping school.The owner of a bookstall on the street saw them waving: "Masters, the latest Romance of the Three Kingdoms doll book has arrived." They stopped immediately and caught up with the one who took a comic book and looked for it in the crowd. Zhang buried his head on the stool and looked up.Only Chen Shixin, who was from a poor family, was reluctant to spend money and just looked behind him.
Although the books printed by this Australian are all in vulgar script, as long as you get used to it, there is no problem. Besides, the calligraphy and painting are exquisite, and even a few grandmas can read it with relish.Of course, what they read are dramatic stories about wits and beautiful women, knights and witches, and they even shed a few tears when they see the bitterness.
After a long time, several people reluctantly put the comic book back on the bookshelf, and searched up and down again. Seeing that there were no new books, they paid the money and squeezed out.Don't forget to shout out: When the new Romance of the Three Kingdoms arrives, remember to notify us!
"...Master Guan is the best." Walking on the street, the teenagers who were still immersed in their books chattered.
"...The next episode should be about Xu Chang."
"...Fart! If you haven't watched the trailer for the next episode, you're going to Maicheng."
"...It was Maicheng that frightened Cao Cao to death before leaving. My mother-in-law told me."
"...Don't make noise, don't make noise, one episode will come out in ten days."
"...The Romance of the Three Kingdoms doll book only comes out once every ten days, so I can't wait."
A few people chatted and laughed, and then saw a new thing on the street: a man was standing behind a strange stall and hawked it, with a guise of "Australian Famous Items" hanging beside it.The teenagers leaned over curiously and looked at the thing in the man's hand—it looked like a basin, but it was taller and deeper than the basin. A hole was drilled in the center, and some kind of machinery was supported by metal pipes. A fire was burning from under the little metal canister-like central part, which began to whirl and swish as the peddler's foot stepped on a pedal.Then the peddler took out a small paper bag and poured the "Australian white sugar" into the rotating jar.
Next, what happened in front of them made the eyes of the teenagers widen - I saw countless slender white silk threads quietly appearing in the big basin-like thing, like spider silk, and the men were very relaxed. I used a brazing iron to wind around the basin—soon, those entangled silk threads became a big fluffy mass, "...cotton candy! It's so sweet! Do you want a bunch?" the peddler asked with a smile.
The itchy teenagers took out a few copper coins one after another, and each bought a string. First, they took a bite carefully, and immediately felt the fragrance of candy soaking the tip of their tongues, and then, everyone began to bite. The marshmallow ball is so full of sweetness that it almost overflows... It's a pity that this kind of thing seems to be too sweet, and it seems that it feels a little tired after eating.
After eating the marshmallows, everyone continued on the road, and soon came to the edge of the Pearl River. There was a big boat-shaped stone in front of them. It was Haizhu Stone, which was one of the eight scenic spots in Yangcheng at that time. Temple, looking from afar, the temple is full of people.Instead of joining in the fun, they went to the "secret base" by the river: under a big banyan tree by the embankment.As soon as he sat down in the shade of the tree, Chen Shixin couldn't wait to take out an Australian charcoal pencil from his schoolbag, and began to copy the comic book he had just read.The other three were no strangers to this painting idiot, so Zeng Juan suggested, "...let's play Three Kingdoms!"
Li Ziyu took out his schoolbag and said, "...don't worry, my family bought a new game from Kunren yesterday."
Zhang Yu stretched out his hand and took a look: "...The Assistant Prime Minister of Ming Dynasty? Is it the promotion map of the Kun people?"
"...It's much more fun than the promotion picture. I heard that it was created by the prince of the Kun people. The Kun people like to worship this sage the most. It can keep the house safe."
Then, while listening to Li Ziyu's explanation, everyone studied the manual by themselves, and they got started very quickly, and the more they played, the more they got into it
"...you colluded with the eunuchs!"
"...I want to defend myself!"
"...The first assistant's holy family is almost gone, impeachment!"
After half an hour of the card battle, Li Ziyu successfully ascended to the top position. The three of them joked with each other while tidying up. The topic soon turned to Liao affairs. They no longer regard the duel of generals as the main content of the war—the articles they read in magazines quickly transformed into their own thoughts, and they rushed out of everyone's mouths:
"We must form a spear array, this is the famous stunt of Marshal Huangshi!"
"That's right, as long as they stab to the right together, the Tartars will be helpless! And shaking the spear can break the rain of arrows!"
Zeng Juan triumphantly stretched out a finger, shook his head and said, "Even if the Tatars are good at fighting, one can be as good as ten, and the number of their tribes who can fight is no more than 20. Our Ming Dynasty has a large population. Even if we choose one out of a hundred, we can choose two million." Spearmen, destroy the Kun and slaughter the Tartars! I hate that the officials of the court will be used as wine bags and food bags, and all the princes in the court will be punished. The Liao and Kun affairs are nothing to worry about! Not to mention the barbarians in the Southwest!"
Zhang Yu snorted: "...200 million? Where did you get so much money to recruit soldiers?"
"...Liaodong is fertile for thousands of miles, and the Liao people have been slaughtered. You can give elite soldiers and soldiers grant land certificates. If you return to Liao, you will get the land. How dare the soldiers die?"
Before Zhang Yu could open his mouth, a steam whistle sounded on the river, and a Kunren steamboat pushed the waves up the river.Although they have long been familiar with the strangeness, a sense of powerlessness still flooded everyone's hearts.Chen Shixin also put down the charcoal pencil, and murmured: "...the Kun people have fierce firearms, what can I do? What can I do?"
Li Ziyu sneered and said: "...Although the Kun thief's firearm is fierce, my Ming Dynasty also has a big killer weapon."
Zhang Yu knew that Li Ziyu's uncle was Qianwei Qianhu in Guangzhou, so he often boasted that he could read Daming's "Wu Bei Zhi", and immediately asked: "...Is it the fire dragon that you said last time?"
"...No, no." Li Ziyu waggled her fingers and learned to turn the text: "...this thing is called a flying sand cylinder, take two rockets upside down and tie them together, and shoot them into the enemy's canopy to spray them The poisonous sand is designed to hurt the eyes of thieves."
"...That's not surprising at all!"
"...The strangest thing is that after the arsenopyrite is sprayed, another rocket can fire backwards and fly back to the base camp. Although the guns are sharp, they should have never seen them before. They must be terrified and inexplicable. Our officers and soldiers Taking advantage of the situation to hide and kill, it is as easy as flipping the palm of your hand!"
——What Li Ziyu didn't say is that this kind of enemy-destroying artifact only exists on paper, and no one in Guangzhou has seen the real thing... But everyone didn't know the inside story, so they all praised and praised, and Zeng Juan was even more excited: "... Our Great Ming has a wealth of talents, even though the Kun bandits are fierce for a while, they will definitely be inferior to our Celestial Dynasty!"
But after Zhang Yu was excited, he turned his head and thought about it carefully: Even if such a magical weapon is a novelty, how many people can it scare?How many times have you bluffed?Wouldn't it be better to cancel the flying rocket and put more arsenopyrite gunpowder?But Li Ziyu's family is a military officer for generations, and he can read books that ordinary people can't see. He is considered a VIP in their small circle, so he should not question it in public...
And Zeng Juan on the other side has become enraged: "...I, Daming, have this artifact but can't use it. It is precisely because of these corrupt officials and the gangsters. I heard that the gangsters were still in private in the Ziming building the day before yesterday. Gather the gentry and officials in Guangzhou, and hold a sea and sky feast and a group of warblers, and the sound of debauchery spreads outside the building! If you want to destroy the country, you must first destroy the morals of the scholars, and the evil intentions of the gangsters are so poisonous!"
"...Kun thief has no king and no father, he is lustful by nature, and he is most used to hooking up with shameless people!"
The young scholars scolded them vigorously, but Chen Shixin, who had been silent all this time, said hesitantly: "...Actually, I think Kun people are not bad, at least they never disturb the people. Even businessmen like to do business with them."
Li Ziyu immediately sneered in dissatisfaction: "...you speak good words to the gangster, why don't you shave your head and run away?"
But Zhang Yu suddenly realized: "...Could it be that... Shixin, you went to contact Kunren?"
At this moment, everyone immediately cheered up and booed Chen Shixin to tell the truth.Chen Shixin refused, so he had to admit that he was really curious yesterday and went to the "Big World" construction site by the river to play. "...that big world is really majestic." Chen Shixin swallowed his saliva, and described it this way, "...there are iron frames and glass inlaid everywhere. Although there are no dragons and phoenixes, it is quite shocking."Excited to see it, I couldn't help but took out a pen and paper and started to draw.
I was painting vigorously, but a voice sounded from my side: "The perspective here is wrong".Chen Shixin was startled suddenly, but when he looked back, he was a smiling man with a short shaved head, tall and straight, and he spoke northern mandarin, obviously a real man.
Before, Chen Shixin had seen Zhen Kun from a distance, but this was the first time he was so close. Although he was a little scared, he was also a little dissatisfied—he felt itchy because he saw the unheard-of illustrations in Kun Ren's book, so I also bought charcoal pencils to copy, although there is no teacher's guidance, I rely entirely on my own talent, but the paintings are always [-] to [-]% similar, and the viewers are all amazed, but now they are criticized for being wrong, and they are naturally not convinced.
But Zhen Kun was a good teacher, so he simply sat down next to him, and talked to him about the principle of perspective and painting techniques for half an hour, and even brought out Kun Ren's album, the lifelike oil paintings and sketches, It immediately opened Chen Shixin's horizons.In the end, Zhen Kun, who looked like a painter, even invited him to Lingao, saying that there was a special place to learn painting there, and it was easy to find a job after learning painting, and the salary was absolutely favorable.
"...Don't you really want to go to Lingao with that real hair painter?" Li Ziyu said seriously, "...that's a thief!"
"...I really can't figure it out!" Chen Shixin's eyes were full of confusion: "...Actually, I really don't want to study anymore. Anyway, with my level, I can't pass the exam. I just want to Painting, thinking of being able to draw such a painting, it is really worth dying for.”
Thinking of their own future, everyone couldn't laugh anymore and fell into silence.

After bidding farewell to a few friends, Zhang Yu walked home step by step lazily. When he arrived at the tea house at the street, he heard someone call him: "...Young master! Here, here!", looking around, it turned out to be the tea house storyteller.So Zhang Yu sat down at the table honestly, and the storyteller pushed over a basket of vegetarian steamed stuffed buns flatteringly: "...Master, eat buns, eat buns!"——Zhang Yu has been saving money and skipping lunch these days, Just in time to feast on.
Wait until Zhang Yu finishes his refreshments.The storyteller handed over a copy of "Story Club" with a smile on his face—this storyteller was semi-literate, so he always invited Zhang Yu to read these market books as his source of storytelling materials.
So, Zhang Yu took out his handkerchief and wiped his hands, turned to the serial "Intimate Paradise", and read it in a low voice: "... last time, it was said that Mr. Guanxi sent the bookcase to be repaired, and lost a few books in the interlayer. Hundreds of photos of the secret play were widely circulated, and Miss Jiaojiao was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to commit suicide..."
After reading for a long time, the storyteller came to his senses and wiped his saliva: "...the Australian really has a lot of tricks. Is there anything more exciting?"
Zhang Yu flipped through the pages: "...these two anecdotes from the market are good: Haitian Feast for Orioles Meeting, Xiangshan County Cellar Slave Case..."
After finishing the book, the storyteller gave Zhang Yu five copper coins, plus the food money saved from skipping lunch for the past few days, it should be enough money to buy the next issue of "Research on War History"... Thinking of this, Zhang Yu's steps also became brisk.
Back home, the mother, who was sulking in front of the shop, couldn't help smiling when she saw her son coming back. She followed behind and kept asking about his studies, and brought a pot of hot tea and a plate of freshly baked walnut cakes.Zhang Yu wanted to go downstairs to help his father crack walnuts, but his mother didn't do it: "...the younger generation can just concentrate on studying."Then he babbled about the difficulty of doing business, and cheated the errands of hundreds of renminbi, which is equivalent to doing nothing today. Look at the tailor shop in the east, Shaodong, who was admitted as a scholar, and the errands and beggars dare not come. , our family's hope is on you, Yunyun...
"...No matter what, you must be a scholar!" With this final instruction, the noisy mother finally left, and Zhang Yu, who finally calmed down in her ears, opened "Selected Works of the Times" with a solemn and solemn expression. The question No.13 I watched is a cut-off question, or an inexplicable ruthless answer: "Mrs. Jun's sexual desire", it seems that it is just some inexplicable breaking questions, rambling questions, and empty speeches. Zhang Yu Immediately, I felt stuffy and bored in my heart. I read it reluctantly for a while, and finally sighed a long time, and pushed the book away casually.
Although "the oath of being a scholar" is still ringing in his ears, Zhang Yu couldn't help taking out the "Research on War History" from the bookcase after all. He had read it through several times before, but it still looks so Fresh and exciting.Turning to the back cover, there is an advertisement for the new book: the classic science fiction of Australia and Song Dynasty debuts!Science fiction everyone vomits blood!The masterpiece you must read this year!A mind-blowing adventure!Australia Song Publishing House made a huge contribution!
Rubbing the title of "From the Earth to the Moon", Zhang Yu was full of curiosity - he had read that fantasy novel, and in the "Research on War History" in his hand, there was a serial political fantasy novel "Motherland" ", it tells the story of the invasion and subjugation of the barbarian Shuiqing Kingdom by the Sun and Moon Dynasty. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that it is talking about Daming and Jiannu. If it happened, the government would probably just sneer at it: "...How could it be possible for Daming to be killed by the Jurchens, and to return Shenzhou Luchen for 300 years? It's absurd!"
But Zhang Yu has never read science fiction novels, and it is really itchy, but the book price also makes him shake-although since the Australian came, he has beaten the old bookstore to nothing, how much is the book price? The percentage is down, but I only have a little pocket money occasionally given by my parents. The Australians keep coming out with new things, such as new episodes of Latin-Australian movies, and assembled models of warships for a while. Not enough flowers.
Recalling what Chen Shixin said by the Pearl River in the morning, Zhang Yu was also confused. In fact, how many talents can be selected in social studies?Most parents send their sons to school just because they want to learn how to recognize a few words and read the books.But even if he didn't read on, and came back to inherit this small shop at home and make pastries for a lifetime, Zhang Yu felt a little lost and bored, plus a little bit of unwillingness—since Kunren came, he realized that apart from the Four Books and Five Classics, , and such a wonderful world, in the words of my mother, I have "lost my heart", and the only golden road to success in my mind now seems so narrow and closed...
Then, a crazy idea began to sprout in Zhang Yu's mind:
"...Since reading is so boring, how about calling Shang Shixin and going to the legendary Lingao 'Kun City' together?"
——On the other hand, just as the aborigines of Daming in Guangzhou looked at the "Australian Kun people" who broke into their lives with their own eyes, the "old Kun people" who entered Guangzhou were also understanding through their eyes and channels. Seeing how the natives of Ming Dynasty felt about outsiders like themselves...

Outside Guangzhou, the "Big World" construction site built by Australians
Due to the close of the new year and the workers returning home for the New Year, this large-scale commercial and entertainment complex has basically stopped working.Formerly a graduate of the urban planning major in time and space, Qi Feng, the veteran of Lingao Construction Corporation, checked the construction drawings of the "Guangzhou World" for the last time, and after confirming that there were no problems, he also stretched out and left the engineering headquarters. Board room, turn back to a nearby temporary residence.
Thanks to the largest urbanization process in the history of mankind at the beginning of the 21st century, several of the elders in Lingao have studied and practiced urban planning.However, the executive committee in power is all advocates of the creed of "engineers governing the country". According to the mind of a certain boss who seems to have evolved into a mechanical function computer, all work in the world can be decomposed into n-element n-degree equations or matrices. Urban planning is nothing more than a four-element matrix composed of industrial supporting radius, resource supply radius, local support capacity and investment scale. As for the artistry and aesthetic feeling, it is purely superfluous.
However, Qi Feng’s opinion is completely opposite. He was born in the narrow streets and alleys of the old city of Hangzhou. When he was in elementary school, he saw a wall calendar of foreign city scenery. The heart suppressed by the narrow living environment suddenly found a way to release. Architectural painting, crazy reading about everything related to Eastern and Western architecture.Later, this belief in the pursuit of architectural beauty supported him to be admitted to a famous university majoring in urban planning, supported him to become a part-time architectural painter, and then supported him to change several jobs in the design of sewers on the ground, and finally Support him to resolutely go back to ancient times, just to be able to build many landmark buildings full of character and beauty.
However, even in the world of the seventeenth century, the senate could hardly provide him with the opportunity to realize his ideals for the time being, so this ultra-idealist senator could only pour his enthusiasm on the drawing paper, smearing every day, Practice hard.Because Lingao's oil paints were not self-produced, it was difficult to buy oil paints and brushes at that time in Macao.He can only practice sketching and sketching with carbon sticks.When he was in Lingao, he drew all the buildings with a little history in and outside the city. People can often see Qi Yuan holding a sketchbook, standing on the smoky grass or ruins, facing a dilapidated building. The building flicks its head.From time to time, he could be seen crawling around on dilapidated ancient buildings, so Qi Feng got the nickname "Liang Sicheng of Lingao" in the Senate - unfortunately, there was no Ms. Lin Huiyin to accompany him.
After coming back to Guangzhou to preside over the construction project of the "Guangzhou World" entertainment mall, Qi Feng also often used his spare time to wander around, taking pictures and sketching.Yesterday, he also happened to meet a local young scholar who was squatting outside the Dashijie construction site and sketching from nature. What is amazing is that this young scholar only had no art textbooks or teacher guidance. With personal interest and referring to illustrations in Senate publications, I learned a lot.Although there are some errors and omissions in the drawing, the flaws are not concealed after all.
Therefore, Qi Feng enthusiastically taught the young man some painting skills, and he also wanted to invite this rare and good seedling to learn painting in Lingao, and even had the idea of accepting an apprentice himself—Of course, Qi Feng also knew this. The chances of success are not high. The other party is not a poor kid in ragged clothes who has nowhere to go, but a well-educated young scholar. After all, his family should have some property and status, so it is difficult to give up the "right way" of a scholar. I ran to Lingao to join the Senate, and it was because of the despised "trail" of painting...
Hey, there are always people who are unhappy in the world!
With a little melancholy, Qi Feng pushed open the door of the temporary residence, and saw the person in charge of Guangzhou Station, Guo Yi, the future director of "Guangzhou Great World", sitting at the table, reading a handwritten book with the impressive title It is "Kun Shi Zhi Lu".
——"Kunshizhilu" is a "strange book" about how people in the Ming Dynasty viewed themselves as traversers. The "Australian veterans" in Lingao have heard of it for a long time. Guo Yi, an expatriate stationed in Guangzhou, should have read this book a long time ago, why did he have to re-read it now?Could it be that such nonsense and strange talks are worth studying repeatedly?
"...Because there are many versions of "Kun Shi Zhi Lu", the newer the version, the more content. In fact, this book was jointly created by several scholars from Lingao County from the beginning, and after it spread, Every time they are copied, they will add the rumors and perceptions they have heard."
Guo Yi slowly took a sip of tea from his cup, and replied like this, at the same time, he opened the "Kun Shi Zhi Lu" in his hand and pushed it in front of Qi Feng, "...I circled these with a red pen, It’s all new content, you might as well take a look, it’s quite interesting.”
Qi Feng looked intently, and immediately saw a section of "Purging Fire Map": "...Uncle Lantian's collection of Overseas Fire Pitting Map has four volumes of album pages, titled "Longyang Point", "Prison China", "Li Huo Luo", "Misty Dream", with gold loops and silver belts, is a very secret treasure. The four volumes all describe the love affairs of Longyang in the previous dynasty. It was convenient. One day, Uncle Tian met Zhang Tiansun to ask for a drink. Tao An slapped his hands and laughed and said: "Before that, the folks who lived in Australia who were left behind in the Song Dynasty played tricks. Unexpectedly, Uncle Tian is also a bosom friend! "So I brought it into the study, and there were no less than a hundred tooth sticks and jade sticks, all of which were stored in overseas water jade boxes. There was also a letter "Jin Ping Mei Qi Biography", the style of writing was similar to that of Tian Shu's collection, and You Jing also..."
"...Hey, I didn't expect the scholars of the Ming Dynasty to be so interested in danmei comics? I thought only rotten girls would like to read that kind of stuff!" Qi Feng couldn't help shaking his head, "...and this 'bi What does Huo Tu' mean?"
"...No way, from the late Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, it was a popular fashion among scholars to engage in base games. Zhang Dai, the 'Mr. A well-known son of a family. And Jia Baoyu in Dream of the Red Chamber, isn't he also gay?
As for the fire picture, it means the picture of the erotic palace, because in traditional Chinese folklore, the god of fire usually comes down to the earth in the form of a woman to set fire, so book collectors think that hanging a picture of the erotic palace in the library can make the goddess ashamed and helpless. Arson, hence the name. "
——This weird traditional folk custom made Comrade Qi Feng, a lover of ancient architecture, feel a little embarrassed for a while: Imagine, according to such traditional habits, if future generations have not experienced the destruction of the four olds, then every gas station On the walls of the flammable goods warehouse and the library, there must be a slogan of "beware of fire and candles", and a erotic picture of a man and a woman having sex... This scene is so beautiful that I dare not look at it...
If you read on further, there is an article "Kun People's Luxurious Food" with a red circle below: "...When I lived in Nanjing, there was a sea merchant named Liu who went to Lingao several times, and talked with him about the affairs of Kun, vividly. Kun People imitate the ancient Zhongming Dingshi, rarely cook separately, and eat together in one place, which is called "canteen", such as the temple's Zhaitang. Every meal must have fish and meat, vegetables and vegetables with more than ten flavors, and the cooking rice is all polished rice. Those who are full will stop. Even if the fake kun hires a servant, it will only reduce vegetables and vegetables. The fake kun is newly attached, and Jinghua can sit and eat for ten months. Therefore, the poor in Guangdong and Qiongyang have no way to survive, and often use this as a means of survival. door too.
I collect food from people in the dynasty, and eat local food according to the law, but there may be shortages, soldiers complain about local areas, often troublesome, or harass, or plunder, and sometimes slander.If great work is to be carried out, there will be a shortage of food for the common people, the strong may be full, and the weak will inevitably be tossed in the ravine.The Kun people went out to carry their own grain and fodder, and the meals were more than usual, so the soldiers did not disturb the people, and the people were at peace.When the Kun people start work, although there are thousands of people, everyone still has food, and it is better than those at home. Therefore, when the Kun people recruit workers, many people compete to come, and some even curse and beat each other.
According to kun people, at the beginning, there were still few food mouths, and later they took in fake kuns, which cost tens of thousands, and there were many index fingers, and they all provided food like this.As far as our court is concerned, although the government is absolutely incapable of doing this.Kun people are able to do this, and it can only be explained by "their nature is extravagant and extravagant"..."
"...Hehe, compare the cafeteria to the dining hall in the temple... What's the sound of bells and tripods... Well, but, it seems to have a little truth. In the eyes of the ancients, compared with the stainless steel rice bucket, the copper tripod is indeed better than the rice bucket. It's eye-catching... As for the ringing of the bell, Lingao uses electric bells during lunch breaks and meals, and it seems that there are indeed bells ringing in places where there is no electricity..."
Qi Feng commented while shaking his head like this, and turned to the next article "Nv Kun" with a red circle: "... At the end of the Song Dynasty, when the Kun people died at the beginning, most of them were out of danger, and their families and daughters all dispersed. As for Australia, there are more than ten males and females. Most of the kuns are descendants of the nobles of the previous dynasty, and most of the local women in Australia are black and ugly, and kuns all avoid them. Therefore, at the beginning, the population was not prosperous. After more than a hundred years of living, people Ding is in the tens of thousands, and the number of female kun is less than five-one. Therefore, it is customary in Australia to regard women as treasures. If a woman is pregnant and conceives a daughter in ten months, the congratulatory family will be full of congratulations, and the family will be rich. This is because of the laws of the kun people. Different from the Central Plains, when a man and a woman get married, they need to report to the government for "registration". Healthy women are beautiful. Maybe it is said that the rituals of Kun are broken and music is bad. Female Kun often has multiple husbands. But thinking about it, it may be because the population is too sparse. After the Kun people took over the land of Yueqiong, they bought the Central Plains women in a big way , choose the tall and strong ones with natural feet. Girls train them to use the art in the house, and these women call it "secret art", and they are matched with Kun people as concubines. Or heard that Kun people use firecrackers to fight for concubines Those who shoot each other to death..."
"...Whether concubines and concubines shot each other to death?" Qi Feng was a little confused at first, and then his face turned pale with shock, "...Although no one died at the time, but...could it be that the 'maid revolution' back then actually happened? Did it reach the ears of the natives of the Ming Dynasty?"
——After the training of the first batch of maids or "Xiaomi" was completed, conflicts broke out between the elders over distribution issues. Although they didn't get to the point of killing people, the situation was very unbearable. better than...
"...God knows, although this matter is embarrassing, the Senate had issued a silence order at the time, but by the time the order was issued to block the news, it was already a bit late. The aborigines and naturalized people in Dongmen City might have heard something, and this There's always a shortage of guys who like gossip."
Guo Yi spread his hands, "...We can't start a literary prison just for such a trivial matter, let's behead everyone who hears about it..."
After chatting like this for a while, Guo Yicai brought up the business - the joint fleet of the Huamei, the East Coast and the "real" Australians has now anchored from Batavia and headed north, preparing to hold a global traveler summit in Lingao to discuss a A series of issues of division of rights and spheres of influence and cooperation.
The Lingao Senate naturally attached great importance to this matter, and ordered all the elders who were away to return to the meeting except for the necessary left-behind personnel.And Qi Feng was naturally included in the recall. Guo Yi came this time to inform him to leave for the Hong Kong base first, and then return to Lingao on a naval warship.
However, while the real power figures in the Senate system of Lingao traversers are rushing back to Hainan Island in an endless stream, there is also a high-ranking leader who braves the howling cold wind in winter and walks alone. Embarked on a journey northbound...
