Live in the world of film and television

Chapter 996
"Now I live like a dog, even worse than a dog." The tree master said and looked at the grass in the distance. The wild dogs that looked like ghosts last night can only sneak around from a distance. Looking at a few people.

He was probably waiting for the moment when someone like Master Shu fell to the ground while walking wobbly.

The three leaned on bamboo sticks and walked slowly on the desolate road. A city in the distance stood like a high mountain in the plain.

The surrounding wilderness is lonely, and there is a flat river. The city seems to be a towering mountain, and the huge city wall also looks extraordinarily towering.

Bustling crowds gathered from all directions, and they also came here to seek a living.

Even though there were frequent disasters in the distance, the city was still bustling with people, and there were endless sounds of selling goods, and there were even various cargo ships coming from the big river in the distance.

Shouts, cries and the hustle and bustle of the market are mixed together to form a bustling and prosperous scene.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a famine in the Jianghuai area and the refugees were rioting in the fields, no one here would care about the news, and no one would know that it is still a year of catastrophe.

Master Shu shook his head, looked at the city with a helpless smile and said, "It's really a rich family's wine and meat smell, the road is frozen to death!"

"It seems that Yuanting doesn't treat us Han people as human beings at all!"

"The land of the Jianghuai River is thousands of miles away, but no one cares about it, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with it. On the contrary, they think it's all taken for granted."

"The Mongolian nobles should enjoy the treatment of the nobles, and the common people have to suffer the suffering of the common people. As for whether all this is reasonable? I guess no one cares anymore."

Who is the world under the city? There is no place to lean on in desolation.

The three of Zeng Yunfeng staggered towards the gate of the city, and they were at the end of many teams entering the city.

But no one wants to follow these beggars, the three of them smell so bad and greasy that they can still smell it even in winter, but in summer it will be a real pleasure.

The three of them could barely see the dark faces on their faces. Each of them held a bamboo stick and a broken bowl, which became standard equipment.

However, their attire also completely separated the distance between them and the civilians. The front team was one foot away from them, and the rear team was even three feet away from them, for fear that the mud and smell on their bodies would contaminate themselves.

"Oh, the people in front of them smell so bad!"

"That's right, that's right, I don't know why they smell bad."

"Oh, bear with it, the Jianghuai land is severely drought, thousands of miles of barren land, starvation everywhere, these few people can come here and not die, it is already very good."

"But they really stink."

"Yeah, look at the man with the gray beard who has a worm running around on his body."

"Oh, what is this!"

"What a mess!"

The voices of discussion spread from all around, and I heard his face burning red in the ears of Master Shu. After all, no one wants to hear others accuse him of being dirty, even if he is a beggar.

Seeing so many eyes cast on him, Fugui shrank behind Zeng Yunfeng. He had never felt so uncomfortable before. back unconsciously.

Only Zeng Yunfeng stood among the crowd like a tall and straight pine tree.

But when everyone looked at him, they were even more contemptuous.

Finally it was the turn of Zeng Yunfeng and the others to accept the interrogation. Yuan Bing looked at them and held his nose and said, "A few stinky beggars still want to enter the city. Is there any entry tax?"

"Do you have any money to pay? Go, go, go, where the hell will you die? You can enter this county as much as you want?"

Master Shu's face was really hot.

A beggar can't even get the right to beg in a county. In this kind of world, what's the point of them living?What dignity is there.

"Bold!" After Zeng Yunfeng said this, several soldiers were dumbfounded and stepped back one after another, looking at Zeng Yunfeng warily because he spoke Mongolian.

Soon, a man in armor hurried down the tower and came to Zeng Yunfeng.

He and Zeng Yunfeng chattered for a while, anyway, that's how it was in the impression of Master Shu and Fugui, and I don't know what Brother Gou said to this Yuangou. !"

Just as the soldiers moved their spears and let go of the road, not to mention the city entry tax, Zeng Yunfeng and the three entered the city swaggeringly.

At this time, Master Shu came to Zeng Yunfeng's side, leaned into his ear and said, "God, what did you tell them? Why did those Yuan soldiers who are as vicious as jackals let us in?"

"I said that I was called by their superiors, and that I came here on a special mission, in order to exterminate local martial arts figures for Yuanting, and tell them to keep their eyes bright, otherwise they will be attractive."

"Ah, you put it that way, wouldn't it be even worse if our identities were exposed later?" Zeng Yunfeng smiled and said, "Master Shu, would you rather starve to death now, or in a few days?"

Master Shu looked at each other. After all, no one wants to starve to death at this time. If they can live one day, they will live one more day. After all, no one will dislike living a long time.

In the early stage of the Yuan Dynasty, the people were extremely harsh, especially for the southerners who finally surrendered. It was only in the middle and late stages that they began to appease and govern the people, but they did not pay too much attention to the governance and education of the people and farming.

This point can be clearly seen from the population base when the Ming Dynasty was established. The population growth rate of the Yuan Dynasty was not high, which shows that the living conditions did not meet the conditions for explosive growth. We must know that the population of such a small area at the peak of the Song Dynasty All hundreds of millions.

Fortunately, the Yuan Dynasty strengthened the unification of the entire Central Plains, and the idea of ​​territorial integrity and unification became more popular.

At this point, the provincial system implemented by the Yuan court has closely united all regions to achieve administrative integration.

Zeng Yunfeng and He Shuye walked into the city, Fugui looked around, eyes full of curiosity.

Obviously, it was his first time to come to this big city, and he didn't know what this big city would bring him.

This city is located in Jiangbei Province, Henan. In fact, there were only a few provincial-level administrative units in the entire Yuan Dynasty, which was far lower than the more than 30 provincial-level administrative units in later generations.

There are not many other things in the city, and there are many entertainment facilities.There are various shops such as casinos, brothels and restaurants
The Yuan Dynasty ruled across the mainland as a unified dynasty.

The ruled area of ​​the Mongol Empire spanned across Eurasia. This kind of rule brought about a large-scale exchange of various races and cultures.

This city is full of foreign merchants from all over the world, and they also bring countless commodities.

Even though disasters and famines are already everywhere outside, for this city, it seems that nothing has changed, and it is still singing and dancing.
