Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 236 Ten Years (V)

After entering the village, Yan Ermei Huazhai got a bowl of porridge, and the two of them ate it up, so that they were full anyway.After eating a full meal, my whole body has strength, and it seems that my sense of smell has also recovered.Yan Ermei heard that her body was rotten, so she had to find a remote pond and strip herself naked.

First, he rubbed the heavy monk's clothes vigorously. He only had this kind of clothes, so he could only wash them while taking a bath, and he would wear them after they were dry.After finally rubbing the clothes, the pool water in this field is also muddy.Therefore, Yan Ermei found a few branches, propped up the clothes, and let the sun dry the clothes.Then I changed a place and cleaned up my own hygiene.The head is easy to wash, because it is bald, just rub it.The body is very difficult to wash, without soap, it is difficult to wash off the dirt of several months.After rubbing vigorously for a quarter of an hour, Yan Ermei finally felt satisfied.

It's just that the clothes hadn't dried yet, so Yan Ermei could only dry the clothes while drying her body. After all, the water in spring was not as comfortable as in summer, and it was still a bit cool after soaking for a long time.

Fortunately, this place is relatively remote, so Yan Ermei was naked in broad daylight.In fact, he didn't know that there were two military intelligence officers watching him not far away, otherwise he would not be so natural to bask in the sun naked.

After more than half an hour, Yan Ermei let Yan Ermei dry his inner and outer clothes twice. Seeing that they were a bit dry, he put them on and continued heading northeast.

After entering Jinling Mansion, Yan Ermei noticed that the number of vehicles gradually increased.Many are trucks with heavy loads in their compartments.These goods include living materials such as grain and cloth, as well as building materials such as masonry and wood.

Even Yan Ermei saw huge courtyards one by one.Originally, Yan Ermei thought that these were mansions of wealthy families or official workshops of the security corps.But after asking people, he realized that these are all private factories, that is, private workshops.This surprised Yan Ermei. Many of these factories were engaged in weaving, blacksmithing, oil extraction, and even salt processing.These are all profitable industries, and the security team is not all controlled in their own hands, but privately operated.Especially for table salt, the factories in the security group actually transported coarse salt from the sea, and then finished reprocessing and packaging outside Jinling City for sale.

At this moment, the commerce in Jinling City is gradually developing, because the security group strictly controls the sale of land, especially the big landlords are the targets of the security group.Therefore, in order to avoid the attack of the security group, some big landlords have transferred their properties from the fields.In order to seek opportunities to join the security group, these people followed the guidance of the security group and invested funds in some industries.Especially after the security regiment captured Tongzhou, the capital of Yangzhou, they let go of the salt industry.Those merchants flocked to them, and numerous large and small salt factories were set up, which greatly reduced the price of table salt.Even if the security regiment levied a heavy tax on table salt, it could not keep up with the price of salt in the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars.

The rise of commerce led to the growth of the working class.In just a few miles, Yan Ermei saw several groups of workers leaving work.They gather in groups of three or four, and they are neatly dressed and wear breastplates around their necks.Out of curiosity, Yan Ermei even borrowed a badge to take a look, and saw that the owner's company, name, position and other information were written on it, and there was also a big round seal.

After thanking the owner of the badge, Yan Ermei left and decided to go to the city to have a look.

Along the way, the two intelligence officers following Yan Ermei didn't find anything unusual.Although they also believed that there was nothing wrong with Yan Ermei, they still confessed to the comrades in Jinling City's military intelligence officers, and then they left Jinling and returned to Wuwei.

Under the rule of the Security Corps Headquarters, all entry fees have been abolished, so no matter who enters the city, there is no need to collect money, but basic investigations are still available.After checking Yan Ermei's temporary identity certificate, officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs at the city gate let Yan Ermei into the city.

After passing through several city gates, Yan Ermei came to a street corner, and saw a stone block half the height of a person standing on the ground, the top of the stone was cut flat, and three large characters of Pedestrian Street were written on it.

This is a long street, both sides of the street are full of shops, some of which sell food and other goods, the dazzling array is dizzying.Yan Ermei walked among the crowd, he felt that his eyes were not enough.Although tourists feel a little strange about the presence of a monk next to them, such thoughts are diverted by the products on both sides before they change their minds.Many of the people walking around here went to the city to buy things specially. Although there are temple fairs in their hometown, how can they compare with Jinling City in terms of exquisite and diverse items?

Not to mention those big girls, little daughters-in-law and old ladies, just sleeping Yan Ermei is also deeply attracted at this moment.Of course, he didn't pay attention to clothes, scarves, shoes and hats like those women, but stared at those sweet-scented ducks, red bean yuanxiao, duck blood vermicelli, etc. eating.During this period of time, Yan Ermei was full and hungry, her stomach was already empty, and the gluttons in her stomach kept stirring.Yan Ermei salivated when he smelled the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and steamed buns.Because Yan Ermei was only pretending to be a monk, he also ate meat.It's a pity that the money was spent as early as in Hubei, and it was best to rely on all the way to Huazhai to arrive in Jinling.A penny is hard for a hero, even though Yan Ermei once had tens of thousands of family assets, now he can only swallow his saliva over the small sweet-scented osmanthus cake and steamed buns.

The pedestrian street provides one-stop shopping, dining, and entertainment, and the shops are planned, managed, and taxed in a unified manner.Because the pedestrian street is well-operated and popular, the headquarters has planned to open several more pedestrian streets throughout the city to meet the needs of residents.

After walking around from the beginning to the end, Yan Ermei suddenly thought of the purpose of his trip, so he inquired about the headquarters of the security regiment.The pedestrian street is not far from the headquarters, and Yan Ermei came to the gate of the headquarters within a few steps.

I saw eight regiments standing at the door, and several signs were hung vertically in front of the majestic gate behind the regiments.Taking a closer look, Yan Ermei saw that the signs read the regiment headquarters of the security regiment, the military committee of the security regiment, the civil affairs department of the security regiment, the political propaganda department of the security regiment, the public security department of the security regiment, the finance department of the security regiment, and the education department of the security regiment.Yan Ermei was dazzled by so many brands, but he knew he had found a place.So, Yan Ermei went to the Tuan Ding who was guarding the gate and asked to see Qiu Tianxing, but was despised by the Tuan Ding.

"Where did the wild monk come from? The leader of his regiment commands millions of people. He is a hero. How can you, a wild monk like you, just see you?"Of course, this cannot be said, otherwise it will destroy the general policy of the military and the civilian family.Although the person who came was a monk, since the monk had to pay taxes, he was ruling the people.

Although he was full of slander, Tuan Ding still said to Yan Ermei very kindly.

"Master, please go to the registration office to register. If the leader is free, he will naturally meet you."

After speaking, the group member pointed Yan Ermei in the direction of the registration office.

Of course, Yan Ermei was not satisfied with such a result, he said.

"I'm just turning into a monk. In fact, I'm Yan Ermei of the Yuyuan Army. I once dealt with Sun Zhi, the commander of the Second Battalion of your regiment. Please inform the commander of your regiment."

It's just that Yan Ermei's words were in vain, and Tuan Ding still said kindly.

"Mr. Yan, please go to the registration office to register, this is our regulation."

In the end, Yan Ermei had no choice but to go to register, but she didn't wait for Qiu Tianxing's interview after several months. During this time, Yan Ermei changed back to lay clothes and worked odd jobs while waiting, and finally persevered.Because Yan Ermei's identity was already known by the Military Intelligence Department, the military intelligence officers monitoring Yan Ermei also withdrew. After all, the Military Intelligence Department was short of manpower and could not be wasted.

Later, in order to recruit fresh blood, the Security Corps came up with a new policy, as long as self-study and pass the middle school course examination, they can get a high school diploma.After obtaining a high school diploma, you will have the opportunity to enter the University of Political Science and Law, and after graduating from the University of Political Science and Law, you can join the security regiment as a small official, and gradually get promoted based on your political achievements.In order to meet Qiu Tianxing, Yan Ermei started to study again, because of her outstanding talent, she soon obtained a high school diploma.Then he was admitted to the University of Political Science and Law, and successfully entered the security regiment system after graduation.It's just that it was more than ten years later when he was able to meet Qiu Tianxing and express his respect to Qiu Tianxing.

Yan Ermei's deeds are just the epitome of countless scholars in this era.They traveled thousands of miles to join the security regiment. In order to enter this system, they relearned and reformed their outlook on the world, outlook on life, and values.In the end, they integrated into the system of the security group and became members of the security group.

In this way, Qiu Tianxing slowly consolidated his foundation, accumulating strength bit by bit.
