[Comprehensive] Be with Ancient Celebrities

From the first day he came to this world, Ayu couldn't stop sighing.Yes, this is the Ming Dynasty, it’s true, and his identity is Jinyiwei, but the problem is, dear, he came to the Wanli period when Jinyiwei’s reputation was the weakest, and more importantly, this was the end of July in the tenth year of Wanli , when Zhang Juzheng had just died.

Oh my god, even though he didn't expect to go to the place where Jin Yiwei covered the sky with one hand, don't let him come here now. Seeing that Zhang Juzheng is gone, a whip is about to burp, and the whole country will fall into a moneyless situation again. Mud algae, there are three major Wanli signs online, etc., how can I live this day?

There is also that Liu Shouyou who is said to be taking over Jinyiwei this year. Let alone how he is, the fact that he can make such an awesome institution to be inferior to the East Factory is very telling. In such a situation What good can he do if his subordinates work?

Thinking about it this way, Ayu felt that his mouth was a bit bitter. Wanli was definitely the emperor of Ming Dynasty for a total of 48 years. Now it is ten years of Wanli, which means that his whole life in this era is... ...was directly consumed with Wanli?And basically throughout the entire Wanli period? Thirty years, that is, he can live until the 30th year of Wanli. You say that the days after that... toothache.

"Ayu, Ayu, are you there? I'm coming in."

"Oh, come in."

"How about it, is the name replacement done?"

"done."

"That's good. Although you are under the age now, isn't this just a good time to observe filial piety? When you become filial piety, you will be fifteen years old. You can just take over your father's errand, and you can be regarded as earning a living. Lost the name of the Jinyi family."

Yes, there is another problem. After Ayu lived a life as a high-ranking official, he returned to the bottom layer and became an orphan of Jin Yiwei who had just lost his father. An orphan who was only 12 years old. As for why he was the bottom layer?Hehe, he could hear someone shouting at the door even in the back room, which already explains the problem, okay?

A courtyard, or the courtyard that was added later, is his home.Although it can be regarded as a good house with bricks and tiles, as long as you open your eyes, you can tell that the house is not young. The white and ash on the walls have begun to turn black and yellow, and most of them are peeling off. What do you think? family?

The kid from the next door came in, about the same age as Ayu, a partner who grew up wearing crotch pants together, and also a child of Jinyiwei's family.Yes, this area is full of Jinyiwei people. Since Zhu Di, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, moved his capital to Beijing, it is like the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. Twelve people have lived in it, um, or is it the Ming Dynasty that the Qing Dynasty learned from?Anyway, that's what it means.

Even because there are so many Jinyiwei yamen, such as Dianqian Division (guard of honor), Huangcheng Division (who looks at the imperial city), Beizhen Fusi (field execution), Nanzhen Fusi (internal affairs intelligence), and experience department ( Office clerks), and even various vassals and other teams perform their own duties, so they live in separate areas, so that it is convenient for each hundred households to be controlled.For example, the area of ​​Ayu’s family belongs to the Fusi of Beizhen, but because his father’s staff in Jinyiwei grew larger and it was difficult to fill the vacancies, he finally did spy work, files and so on, and was assigned to the Fusi of Nanzhen. ... Let's talk about this later!

Hey, you don't know Jin Yiwei's spy?How did you win those big battles during the Wanli period?Why are there so many people when you are the Jinyiwei?Isn't it that many of them were dispatched to grasslands, places like North Korea?How much information from the outside world has been provided to this country by connecting the dark lines one by one!To be honest, this Jinyiwei definitely belonged to our earliest national security workers, who absolutely shed blood and sweat in contributing to the country, but because these work belonged to the dark line, they never made it known to the world, and some literati criticized this internally Partly, this reputation is so stinky, okay?

On the issue of dealing with Jin Yiwei, Ayu felt that, as a high-ranking nobleman who had been in charge of a country, he was still qualified to speak a few words of justice.Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there have been so-called spies, and the monarchs of various countries have never given up the right to control a secret force. The Qin Dynasty had the Black Ice Terrace, and Tang Taizong also had the Baiqi Division. It's just so open.

As for some people saying that this is the emperor's first knife?Dear, the feudal dynasty, the orphans who were adopted by the collective, did not pledge allegiance to the emperor, who would you ask him to be loyal to?Ready to rebel?The Jinyi family has been the emperor's eagle dog for generations. This has been going on for hundreds of years, and it has become a practice, okay?For Jin Yiwei, it is no longer a matter of eagles and dogs, but a matter of work, survival, and family inheritance.

Oh, it's a bit far-fetched, we are not here to turn over Jin Yiwei's case, nor is it the time to popularize knowledge, let's continue talking about Ayu.Ayu's father is a spy job, which is very dangerous. Generally, it is either passionate or helpless, and generally no one will do it.Look, this is not the case. After working for less than five years, the people disappeared. It’s hard to say exactly why, because it involves state secrets, and the body has not been brought back. My colleagues came over and said that they brought back a relic. , this back is gone.

This kind of result is obviously not something ordinary people can bear, such as his grandma. Therefore, just now I know that my father is dead, and that grandma is gone. Ayu, who lost her mother in the early years, has completely become an orphan.If it weren't for the good system of Jinyiwei itself, which has a policy of succession from father to son, and a pension for those who die in battle, it is estimated that the neighbors will help find a tooth to sell the house.

But no matter how good the policy is, orphans are orphans, and there is no way to change this.So, a few good friends next door naturally feel sympathetic, and want to help take care of one or two, distant relatives and close neighbors, this generation is old neighbors, and they have been friends for several generations, and they are still very helpful at critical times of.Besides, this Jin Yiwei is one of the twelve guards anyway, and he is a warrior. What he pays attention to is the friendship of fellow-robbers.

For this reason, the neighbors around are very enthusiastic. Come and see me today, tomorrow I will deliver some food, and the day after tomorrow a certain family will come to ask for dinner. To be honest, Ayu is so real. I haven’t felt it for a long time.When I first came here, I almost didn't react.

But no matter how you say it, Ayu is also happy that someone cares about him. Compared with the days when he was a beggar in the past, it is really...

"Let's do this first. My father has only passed a hundred days, and there are still more than two years left. Who knows what will happen. As long as I don't have no way out by then, I will be thankful. By the way, why are you doing this?" Is your son here? Didn't your father tell you to practice martial arts?"

"Oh, my mother has cooked dinner, let me call you to eat. Today is the time to divide the work. My father went to Baihu's place after finishing his errands, and he hasn't come back yet."

While speaking, the familiar boy sat down again, and picked up a bamboo stick that Ayu had tidied up to help clean up the burrs. It was clear from the action that there was definitely no shortage of work at home. (Huh? There is no bamboo in the north? In fact, there used to be bamboo in the north. If you think about the giant pandas and mammoths in the Qinling Mountains, you should know that everything is possible)

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome, I can make and eat it myself."

"What do you eat? The money left by your father is almost spent these days. Funeral money, pension money, etc. I don't know when it will come down, and how much will be left in your hands. Oh, it's up to you It’s still so long before I can receive food and salary, and now I can save a little bit.”

Even the Jinyiwei family is not necessarily vicious. Look, what is the difference between the love of neighbors and colleagues and ordinary people?

"Do I have filial piety on me, or do I have two layers... By the way, Tie Hu, what do you think of me as a bamboo craftsman? Can I sell it for money?"

How unfavorable double filial piety is, it is quite clear to a person who has lived in ancient times all year round.Others are enthusiastic and sympathetic, but he has to be ignorant and ignorant of propriety, especially when there are elderly people.If it was really because of him that the old man next door felt estranged and the family members were at odds, wouldn't he have harmed them?It's better that it's like this, everyone understands each other a little bit.Anyway, this so-called hard time, put it on Ayu, he really didn't worry about it.

Not to mention how much silver can be exchanged for the bamboo craftsman in his hand, even he knows a lot of other jobs. If you take out any one, you will definitely not be unable to exchange money.This reader knows it all, right?

In addition, as early as the first time he came through, in addition to sorting out his memory, he had subconsciously checked all the houses in this yard, not to mention other things, just the embroidered spring knife, bow and arrow, leather armor and so on. Answering the object definitely made Ayu full of confidence.As long as the first three months have passed, and the double filial piety of his father and grandma, he can go out, go to the mountains to collect medicine and hunt, and exchange for money for food.If it weren't for being a vegetarian during the filial piety period, his life would definitely be much better than most of the early days of time travel.

From this point of view, being born in a martial arts family actually has a lot of benefits, right?

"Aren't you going to pass a hundred days, why are you so taboo?"

"Okay, let's not say a few words. If you really want to help me, how about you help sell the things after I finish them? Don't bring filial piety to people and prevent me from entering the shop."

"There's nothing to say about it. It should be my business. By the way, did they talk about the burning and burying of the silver?"

"Just tell me to wait. After all, he died outside. The higher-ups probably need to verify it. Don't worry, even if there is more deduction there, it will not be denied at all. Anyway, with these people watching, the rules should always be scruples Otherwise, who will work for them in the future?"

"That's true. Hey, Ayu, your craftsmanship is much better than before. Look at how this thing is made. It doesn't look like a basket. I can almost put it in the Duobao Pavilion."

"Nonsense, but this thing... if it is painted with a layer of red paint, it is estimated that it can be sold for a higher price. I remember the shopkeeper said that it cost 300 yuan when I bought it. It can catch up with the price of the red oil square table."

"Hey, I can get so much money this morning. Do you...do you have enough money to buy red paint? Let me tell you earlier...well, I still have ten coins here. I'll give it to you first. Do the math and see if it's enough to buy some." ? If it doesn’t work, I asked my grandma where to go. How much do you pay for these bamboos? How much is the craftsmanship? Just a little red paint, even if it costs 30 yuan, it will be ten times more profitable.”

Don't look at the simple and honest face of this Tiehu, and the roughness all over the body. It doesn't take a second glance to let people know that he is a warrior, but his heart is definitely not rough.The calculation is even more agile than the boy who just entered the shop as a clerk.It is very sensitive to what profit is more.

This may also be regarded as one of the characteristics of Jinyiwei. As the bottom-level Jinyiwei, except for business trips, they usually have to go on a business trip every ten days and a half months, or they are patrolling the streets to collect benefits, or They are monitoring in various yamen. In addition, as the emperor's personal guard, in order to maintain the majesty of the emperor's capital, he also has to do urban management. This requires more than a little bit of skills.In this way, it is no longer possible to show strong competitiveness with sharp ears and eyes, and flexible hands. How to get small benefits for small groups is the key to success.

Well, by the way, Ayu's father just doesn't know how to ask for money, so he can't get ahead...

"What, is it possible that I lost even one or two hundred dollars? If so, I would have starved to death in the past few days. It's time. This thing takes too long. It won't come out in a month. You Said, with this skill, what can I do wrong? Why can’t I get money?”

Ayu felt that if he didn't speak out quickly, Tiehu would drag him outside.Fortunately, he spoke in a timely manner, and barely kept his promise that Rexiao would not go out.

"One month? Damn, if it's really expensive, it makes sense, it's too much trouble."

"No, the most important thing is that this month, if you touch it a little bit, the previous work will be for nothing and you have to do it all over again. Don't you think it's a lot of work? It's done, let's make some money first. I have already saved five or six, when you go out tomorrow, help me go to the front grocery store and ask?"

"Okay, then, let's eat..."

"I really don't want to go. It's easy to talk about other things. Your grandma is old. Even if she doesn't care about it, we as juniors should always avoid it, so as not to collide."

These words are so thoughtful, and they are more considerate of their family. The selection of a good neighbor of Ming Dynasty can be on the list. Tell me, how does Tiehu feel after hearing it?That was immediately moved and patted his chest and said:

"All right, then I'll go back and bring it to you. Let's eat together, and I'll accompany you. After eating, I'll help you ask about carrying the basket."

Hey, no matter how clever you are, you are still a child after all. This is so foolish, and Ayu feels a little embarrassed.
