The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 1323 Extra Story Looking at the World (1)

Not only was Little Leopard unfriendly to foreigners, even Baozhu looked disgusted.

Mu Yangling was even more curious.

Twins were born in Guangzhou, which is not uncommon for foreigners. Although they don't remember when they were young, but because of the development of Daqi Maritime Trade, there are many Westerners in the capital.

When the twins go to Qianmen Street to play, they will occasionally meet foreigners, and the two children are most curious about why they look different from them, their food customs, etc., and never look down on each other because they are not of my race .

But they have only been in Guangzhou for seven or eight days this time, but the two children suddenly changed their attitudes.

The little leopard said confidently: "Mother, if you go to the Li Street of Xiyangfang to see them, you won't like them."

Baozhu said with a disgusted face: "Yes, yes, they are so dirty, I will never go to Xiyangfang again."

Human beings like to gather together, just like there were always Chinatowns in foreign countries in the previous life, Westerners also have Xiyangfang in Daqi, where foreigners gather in groups.

In the beginning, there were not many foreigners in Guangzhou, and their residences were mainly distributed near the chamber of commerce. However, in the past ten years, the sea trade has developed rapidly. Many Westerners like to come to Daqi to do business. The number has increased dramatically, but few can speak Chinese. .

Living in a foreign country is not easy. Although these foreigners are not from the same country, they are from the same part of Europe. Maybe their country is still at war, but outside they belong to the same race, so they live together in groups.

As a result, the two streets behind the chamber of commerce were gradually bought or rented by Westerners, because there were only Westerners going in and out there, so they were called Xiyangfang by everyone.

There are many Western objects and gems sold by the crew and the Westerners who came with the ship. Qi people like to go there to shop for treasures.

Little Leopard and Baozhu, who had just arrived in Guangzhou, heard that there was a treasure in it, so they left with their silver and ran to join in the fun.

Walking from Fangshi to their residential area, I saw the feces and urine stains in the streets and alleys, and the little leopard and Baozhu almost spit it out.

The most unacceptable thing for the two children was that a 15- or 16-year-old foreign boy took off his pants and squatted down to defecate in the street. The two children, who had been complaining in their hearts that foreigners didn't pay close attention to their children, were shocked.

Because of this surprise, they didn't leave immediately, so they saw more.

The foreigners on this street, no matter adults, children, men or women, defecate everywhere when they are in a hurry.

The little leopard immediately shouted: "This, this is simply insulting, no, no, don't they have any sense of shame? The key is that they don't think it stinks?"

Baozhu didn't know if they stink or not, anyway, Baozhu was about to be disgusted to death, she didn't want to stay for a quarter of an hour, so she took her brother's hand and ran outside.

Filled with righteous indignation, the two children ran to the Yamen to sue, asking the county government to rectify the streets. How could such a thing happen in their city of Guangzhou?

There was no need for the county magistrate to do this, so the county government officer stopped the two children and said: "Okay, okay, we know about this, you guys go home quickly, and, if you have nothing to do, don't go to Xiyangfang , Be careful they will catch you on board and take you away."

The yamen servants didn't know the identities of the two children, but saw that they were accompanied by guards and they were well dressed, so they thought they were the young masters and young ladies who came to Xiyangfang out of curiosity, and dismissed them perfunctorily.

The little leopard suddenly became angry, and scolded: "You just eat and don't work, are you just letting foreigners make our streets so messy?"

The yamen servant immediately cried out: "Young master, you have misunderstood us. Who said we don't care, but it still works. These years, we have to make surprise inspections of Xiyangfang two or three times a month. After the inspection, it will be clean for two days, and it will still be like this , we only have so many people, we can't keep an eye on that street all the time to prevent foreigners from defecating everywhere, right?"

Speaking of this, the yamen servants were also very helpless, saying: "Foreigners like to defecate everywhere, what can we do? For this matter, our county magistrate also printed and distributed hundreds of copies of "The Analects of Confucius" and "Book of Rites" to foreigners. Yes, but they can't even speak Daqi dialect, let alone read and read. Rigid rules are useless. The county magistrate can't fine them money, right? **coming."

"That's right, that's right, those hundreds of books were wasted, and that's the money of our county government."

Little Leopard and Baozhu asked in astonishment: "Why do they, have such hobbies?"

Seeing the shocked appearance of the two children, the yamen servants knew that what they saw just now made them sick, and they were also disgusted when they first saw a whole street of bluestone slabs covered with defecation and defecation.

The yamen servants began to talk about it, and popularized science: "What's the matter? In our city of Guangzhou, there is only one street like this. According to Westerners, the whole country is like this. It's really not surprising."

The little leopard was silent for a while and asked, "Aren't there public toilets in the city?"

"Yes, but they just don't like to go to the public toilet." Speaking of this, the yamen servants are also very distressed.

These yamen servants have all been guides for Westerners, and have taught them that they can go to the public toilet in case of emergency, but they just like to go anywhere, no matter how many times they are taught.

It was not until this time that the yamen servants began to miss the carriage and horse tax of the previous dynasty and the extended fines.

In Dazhou, when vehicles and horses entered the city, they had to pay the vehicle and horse tax, which included not only the cost of using the road for vehicles and horses, but also the cleaning fee for horses and livestock defecating on the road.

However, Emperor Xiaozong of the previous dynasty began to collect fine donations. Anyone who had livestock had to pay fine donations anywhere in the city. People paid back fines, which were controllable, but livestock were uncontrollable. Therefore, most of the previous dynasties entrusted cattle and horses at the gate of the city. After the establishment of this dynasty, all such taxes were included in the ranks of exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes. Not only the fines were cancelled, but also the vehicle and horse tax was gone.

The yamen servant said: "If the tax is collected according to the previous dynasty, no matter how serious the problems of these Westerners are, they can be corrected."

Baozhu puffed her cheeks and said, "Is there no way to correct their behavior? They are so dirty that it is my Daqi street."

The yamen servant said nonchalantly: "I guess it will be changed when they Westerners also have a saint."

Seeing that the two young masters were still lingering angrily and unwilling to leave, the guards stepped forward and whispered to persuade: "Not all foreigners are like this. After all, the young master and the young lady saw only a few, why don't we go back and discuss with the master first?" , the master and the businessman have a good relationship, maybe there is a way?"

Little Leopard and Baozhu went back angrily to find their father.

Qi Haoran widened his eyes and said, "Why do you care about these details?"

In his view, it is enough for the two countries to cooperate based on their interests, and they are not just hanging around in Daqi, so there is no need to interfere with their living habits.

But Baozhu insisted: "They will teach other children badly. If Daqi's children learn from them and cannot change this bad habit when they grow up, and pass it down from generation to generation, wouldn't Guangzhou become a stinky city? "

"And other cities will also be affected by Guangzhou. Then one person will affect one person, and one city will affect another city. In the end, Daqi will become a stinky country?" The little leopard looked at his father anxiously and asked. : "Daddy, you must find a way to make them get rid of this bad habit."

Qi Haoran supported his forehead with a headache and said: "Father really has no good way, why don't you think about it, if there is a good way to tell me, I'll let someone do it."
