In fact, in addition to the officials who have never seen the world, there is another person on this official road at this time who is also dumbfounded.This person is Sun Chuanting!
Didn't Chongzhen give a holy decree to Sun Chuanting, who was far away in Dai County, some time ago?
After Sun Chuanting received the holy decree, he hurriedly said goodbye to his family, and he only rushed to the capital with a dozen servants without stopping.Now Sun Chuanting is also stunned by this cement official way, but he is also a human being, and he still has self-cultivation.Sun Chuanting stroked his beard and smiled, "It looks like a stone but it is not a stone, it is natural and risk-free, this thing is really a magic skill!"
Sun Chuanting's servants were also amazed, but no one knew what it was?
Sun Chuanting pulled a passer-by and hugged his fists, "This brother, what is this official road in the suburbs of Beijing built on?"
Why is it so strange?
”This passer-by was suddenly stopped, he was just about to get angry, but found that the person who pulled him was wearing silk and jade, he should be a decent official, and there were more than a dozen servants in green clothes standing behind this big official.Man!
It is instinct to dislike the poor and love the rich, and it is the nature to bully the soft and fear the hard, this passer-by instantly accepted his angry face, and said with a smile on his face, "This big official doesn't know, this thing is cement, it is a fresh thing invented by His Majesty the Emperor, in addition to the official road in the suburbs of Beijing, many houses near the suburbs of Beijing are also made of cement. ”Sun Chuanting hugged his fists and thanked him, "Thank you Brother Tai for your advice!"
Then Sun Chuanting suddenly heard someone shouting next to him, and when he looked back, it was actually more than a dozen officials, holding three prisoners.One of the prisoners was a child, his immature face was full of scars, and his tattered straw sandals could not hide the blisters on his feet, and even in such a difficult situation, the child's eyes were still stubborn.Sun Chuanting secretly praised, "What a tenacious doll will definitely become a great tool in the future." ”Sun Chuanting thought about it, he suddenly walked towards these officials, hugged his fists again, and said, "Hello officials!"
Seeing that Sun Chuanting was dressed decently, the officials also accepted their contempt and said, "I don't know what the big officials are talking about?
”Sun Chuanting's voice, "I'm just curious, I don't know what crime this doll has committed?"
”The official at the head said respectfully, "This little doll is not guilty, but his grandfather committed something, and his grandfather is the national thief Fu Sanmo, who is the commander of Shanyang County, and does not want to be loyal to the monarch to serve the country, but he took the initiative to open the city to surrender to the thieves, resulting in thousands of people in Shanyang County being killed by thieves." ”Another thin official took over the conversation, "Don't you know the big official, those ordinary people were not only killed, it is said that even the bones and slag are gone, tsk, do you say that these three moles and thieves are still people?"
”Sun Chuanting sighed, "No wonder the doll will be implicated, it turns out that this Fu Sanmo is really guilty and deserves death, but how innocent is the child?"
I beg you to treat this child well. ”Then Sun Chuanting took out a piece of snowflake silver from the blanket and stuffed it into the hands of the officials headed by him, "A little meaning, not a respect!"
The official clutched the silver tightly, and his smiling face was spent, "How embarrassing is this, but since you have let go, the big official, we will treat this doll well, it is really pitiful, this doll is also innocent!"
”Sun Chuanting nodded, and then he ordered the servant to bring over a few pieces of clothing and stuff them into Qi Yanxian's hands.Sun Chuanting sighed slightly, "So-and-so's shoes are too big for your doll to wear, please use these clothes to wrap the doll's feet!"
”Sun Chuanting's clothes are made of very good materials, either muslin or silk, although they are half-old, they are not something that ordinary people can wear.The officials looked at the good materials and clothes in Qi Yanxian's hands greedily, if these clothes were sent to the pawnshop, they would be worth at least a few dollars of silver, enough to eat a few good meals in the restaurant.Qi Yanxian choked up.Fu Yanxian has been very arrogant since he was a child, and he has never been favored easily, but now he is holding these clothes tightly and can't say a word.Sun Chuanting patted him on the shoulder, and after a few words of comfort, he was just about to turn over and get on the horse, but suddenly remembered something?
Sun Chuanting said to these officials, "This official is actually an official of the imperial court, and I ask you not to forget the entrustment of this official." ”Before the words fell, Sun Chuanting and the servants rode on their horses and left in the dust.Only the stunned crowd was left."
Your Excellency has wronged!"
Fu Yanxian finally reacted, and he shouted with all his might, but Sun Chuanting's horse was too fast, and he had already run far away.Sun Chuanting led the servants to gallop, but he saw that most of the houses on both sides of the cement official road were made of cement, and the cement houses of one color were simply indescribable.Sun Chuanting came all the way from Dai County, the houses in other places are mud embryo houses, the slightly richer people are mud embryo tile houses, the poor people are mud embryo straw houses, the poorest even dig a pit directly, spread a little straw and have the right to live, only a few people can build brick houses.And this suburb of Beijing is really peculiar, it is all cement houses?
These cement houses look much more magnificent than the houses of the rich and noble.I really don't know what the rich and noble people in Beijing use to build houses?
Soon Sun Chuanting knew what they used to build a house, and it was also cement!
Didn't Chongzhen produce a lot of cement at the beginning?
All of these cements were bought by the officials at a high price, and when they turned around, they smeared all the houses with cement, and they were very proud for a while.At that time, cement had just come out, and with the popularity of officials, cement quickly became popular all over the city.So much so that the first batch of cement produced by Xu Guangqi after the construction of the factory was snatched away by the wealthy households in the capital at a high price as soon as it came out, and then the wealthy households in the suburbs of Beijing also followed suit.Chongzhen first raised the price of cement to an outrageous level, and waited until the officials and wealthy families in the capital built cement houses.The price of this cement has dropped sharply, and its price has simply dropped to the point of madness, and even the poor have built cement houses.These officials and rich people are so depressed that they almost vomit blood, they don't care about the price of cement, they have money.What makes them depressed is that now they actually live in the same house as the poor people?
What a shame!
Since the poor people have lived in cement houses, the officials and rich families in the capital have become more and more unhappy with their houses.Because most of the officials and wealthy families like to pursue art and temperament, they don't look down on the poor, how can they look down on their cement houses.Now the poor man actually lives in a cement house like them, and the rich officials can't figure it out, so they can't wait to rush up and knock down all the cement houses in front of them.And when the streets are full of cement houses, the houses with blue bricks and tiles are particularly beautiful.
