Chapter 64

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhang Xing's life became more and more dull.

Military affairs and high-level changes in the court seem to have become far away, and they are always just topics when everyone is fishing, and it is difficult to reflect them in life.Conscription is still going on, the effect of the list is also there, and the public security commotion still exists, but Dongdu has begun to get used to it, and even Zhang Xing himself has become harsh and casual when helping to handle public security cases. The most innocent-looking, yet most promising young men get his copywriting help.

These, Zhang Xing is very clear about what is going on. After all, the country has returned to a normal state. After all, it is he who took the initiative to choose a clerk instead of a field worker. Otherwise, there will be exciting scenes of beatings and killings in life at worst. Appears daily.

Until now, Qin Bao still often comes back with blood all over his body after field trips.

In this regard, Zhang Sanlang, who was in the typhoon in Jing'an, didn't feel that he had chosen the wrong one. He hibernated, wanted to survive, and there was nothing shameful about it. There will be a trace of anxiety.

When can I become a master of condensing alchemy?
When can I do Black Ribbon?
When will we be able to live a little more freely, happily, and recklessly in this feudal era of high and low?
Also, although Bai Xunjian still took care of him, didn't he gradually become estranged?
At the end of autumn, when the fields were slack, the imperial court suddenly announced that it would build a bright hall in Ziwei Palace.

Sitting in the hall, the emperor knew immediately that this was the main hall of Ziwei Palace to be repaired.

At the beginning, it was said that the matter was controversial, mainly because the original main hall of Ziwei Palace, the Qianyuan Hall, was in good condition at all, and it had only been established with the Eastern Capital City for 20 years, and there was no need to build a new Ming Hall.

However, the Holy Spirit dismantled the old one and replaced it with a new one.

Not only that, even the princes of Nanya, including Cao Zhongcheng, did not express their dissatisfaction. Many people guessed that there might be some secrets in it, but that is not known to the people at the bottom... In fact, it was Zhang Xing also guessed something in the discussion with Li Ding, but he was not sure, it was just a theory.

All in all, this matter is a foregone conclusion, and Mingtang will start construction immediately.

First, Zhongzhi left Ziwei Palace, and Bai Hengqiu, the hero of Ping Yangshen's rebellion before, and now the most popular Marquis of Ji'an, transferred to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to join the provincial internal history, and entered the Nanya to take charge of the affairs of Mingtang, and Yukou personally made the decision. The period of construction until February of the following year.

It is to not delay the Longevity Festival, which is dedicated to Lord Qingdi on the second day of February.

Immediately, Bai Hengqiu Bai Shangshu quickly gave the cost and number of servants according to the design drawing and construction period given by Ziwei Palace.

According to the requirements, laborers from Sanhe, Guanlong, Central Plains, Hebei, Jingxiang, and Dongjing were enlisted immediately to enter Beijing. , There have been [-] civilians who have been continuously participating in the construction work.

Calculated in this way, a Mingtang, Dongdu needs to maintain a monthly labor force of around 30 million for four months. This figure is only [-] to [-]% of Dongdu's regular population. Luokou warehouse is here, and there must be no money and food supplies. question.

Including the cost of Mingtang itself, the newly appointed Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry also quickly said that it only costs a mere few million guan... This seems understandable, because all manpower is free, corvee; They are all special affairs. Those tall golden nanmu have always been the private property of the royal family, but the transfer is laborious; the huge gold bricks also need to be re-fired in a shaft kiln outside the city.

If you think about it this way, a bright hall seems to be nothing to the wealthy Wei.

Even Zhang Xing, after thinking about it, thought it was nothing... just think about it, how much food and logistics did the 20 army need to conquer Dongyi?How many days will it take for the people to transfer?Yang Shen rebelled, causing disaster to more than ten counties, and almost hit Dongdu, what's the big deal?

Even now, compared to this matter, it is the Shangwu Army whose [-] are gradually enriched that really brought about a huge change in the life of the Eastern Capital.

Because according to the arrangement of the Ministry of War, the 12 army and the [-] reserve mansions are still stationed and trained in various places in Shaanxi and Luoyang, but the [-] newly recruited to the Fifth Army will be divided into five according to the number of the army, and built around the eastern capital. Five small cities were stationed, each of which was less than ten miles away from the city wall of the eastern capital.

And this is basically equivalent to abruptly adding five towns next to Dongdu, which also provides Dongdu with a new high-end population of [-].

It is really a high-end population. These people are recruits beyond the norm. They are paid and paid. have a huge impact.

But still the same sentence, these have nothing to do with the model Baishou Zhang Sanlang, he seems to have really integrated into this era now and has become a member of the Great Wei.

And it blends in like a duck to water.

The autumn wind was rustling, at noon, in the tavern on Chengfufang Cross Street, Zhang Xing was pushing a handful of broken silver to the person opposite. This broken silver was transferred from the Black Tower to the Ministry of Punishment after three days. He only had this one, but he gave it away three days later.

The young man on the opposite side had bright eyes, but his clothes were torn, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. When he saw the silver, he didn't move at all.

"Here's the money, take a shower, change clothes, buy a new knife... I'll clear the case for you. They don't want to admit that you were wronged and imprisoned, so that's all they can do." Seeing this, Zhang Xing said helplessly. "If you still have anger in your heart and you still want to get ahead, go to the military department and find Li Ding, a member of the driving department, tell me my name, and ask him to write you a letter to apply for the middle base army. There is a gap; if your mind is weak, go home and be a good country boy."

At this point, the young man on the opposite side still didn't take the money, but raised his head instead.

Besides, this person is called Niu Da, and he is also from the Eastern Realm. He is a little younger than Qin Bao, and he is different in height, short, fat and thin. In terms of temperament, he is exactly the same as Qin Bao when he was in the countryside that day, but he has just been released from the black tower. , can not help but be embarrassed.

In fact, he was also unlucky. Like Qin Bao, he was born after the decline of officials in the Eastern Qi Dynasty. When he was a child, he was well-educated and cultivated. Now he looks like he has five main channels, and he has always wanted to start a career... Hearing that Dongdu was recruiting new troops, he came here excitedly, but when he arrived, before he had time to participate in the recruitment, he encountered a gang dispute in the market.

At this time, the veterans of Fangshi in the eastern capital have gradually become familiar with the ways of outsiders, and they often use outsmarting.

This Niu Da was young and vigorous, and had just seen prosperity, but was easily held back by a gang leader in a practice workshop with a gentle woman from the workshop, and then he thought he had met a loyal brother and a confidante, so he did everything he could to help others He worked hard... But when he turned his head, the boss of the workshop finally climbed up to the general banner of Jingjiehu after using Niu Da's hand to eliminate several opponents. Even the woman gave Zongqi as a gift.

Frankly speaking, Zhang Xing has not seen such a down-to-earth plot for a long, long time, so it is rare for him to straighten up his back and directly enforce the law and speak out righteously. His upright and righteous indignation made those old black ribbons who had always come to see Gu Zhang Xing Do you feel that your family has been too careless to kill people?
Therefore, this person was easily fished out.

"Brother Zhang... I've heard people say about you when I was in the Fangli Gang, saying that you are the timely rain in Jing'an Terrace. Today, I received your kindness and got out of prison, not to mention the kindness." Instead of taking the money, Da raised his head with clear eyes. "But, don't you still have the nickname Desperate Saburo? Could it be that even a person like you only persuades me to live in peace and does not allow me to take revenge? It is that the general banner has a high-ranking official status, and it is really hard to kill, but The gang leader surnamed Liu played me like this and put me to death, if I don't kill him, how can I calm down? What face will I have to go home?"

Zhang Xing opened his mouth to speak.

Of course, he had countless reasons to persuade the other party. For example, at this moment, the other party must be on guard, and if something happened, it would definitely be associated with Niu Da.

However, at the moment when the opponent came up to meet him, Zhang Xing realized another point, that is, he had become too tactful, so tactful that he even tried to fool things that were so natural and so clear about good and evil.

The morals of the world are the morals of the world, what is in front of you is what you are in front of, and you can take care of yourself, so do you have to fool around?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xing laughed instead: "Where are you thinking? It's really hard to say about the General Banner, but that Guild Master Liu, such a nasty person, how can you do it? Brother, I will naturally take care of it, but I hesitated for a while. I don’t know if it’s overt or covert. On the contrary, if you get involved and make a move, it will embarrass me... You can trust my brother, take the money to join the army, go home, and wait for my news.”

Niu Da suddenly realized, and then got up and saluted in the store, and then just put away the broken silver and strode out of the store.

But Zhang Xing watched the other party go away, thought for a while, but instead of going to the island, he went home and found Qin Bao who was on vacation in Nanyang.

"Murder?" Qin Bao, who was serving his growing baby dragon colt with a pot of meat, was momentarily surprised. "Still a gang leader?"

"Not bad." Zhang Xing nodded in agreement.

"Third brother posted a copy on the island, saying that he broke the law, so the on-duty person should go get it." Qin Bao was a little puzzled. "Why dirty your hands?"

"I just need to get my hands dirty often, and remind myself not to forget that the world is not clean." Zhang Xing raised his brows, showing a little impatience. "Are you coming or not?"

Seeing that the other party was angry, Qin Bao threw down a pot full of pig's entrails, and laughed on the spot with his messy hands: "I knew that people like Sange Shangke and Li Silang were talking about the general trend of the world, and Zhongke and Jing'antai were colleagues. Fiddle with the text, you can also slaughter dogs and prisoners with people like me... The third brother is going to kill a dog, so naturally I will knock it unconscious."

In the afternoon, Zhang Xing and Qin Bao easily killed someone, put the head in a basket, and prepared to go to the island to write a copy.And just arrived at Xinzhong Bridge, ready to cross the Luoshui River, saw countless peasants coming by boat, all of them thinly dressed, with frightened eyes, landing on the small square outside Chengfumen.

The two looked at each other in blank dismay, how could they not know that this is the nearest civilian husband who has entered Dongdu and is going to demolish the Qianyuan Hall.

But for some reason, Zhang Xing, who still felt that there was no room for discussion on this matter this morning, felt pity for his dirty hands at this time... No one else, considering the timing, I am afraid that these folks who came to the Eastern Capital first On the contrary, it is the luckiest.

PS: Happy working day everyone.

By the way, I have a question. When you say the word 'horizontal', why don't you pronounce it huang?I'm baffled.
