Chapter 2 The brain with the strongest memory
In the busy city, there is an elegantly decorated teahouse, where celebrities and scholars from Hexian County love to meet over tea and talk.
Compared with the hungry people outside the city who are hungry and hungry, this place seems like a fairyland.
With the most exquisite dishes and snacks stuffed into their mouths, they talked about the starving people outside the city. With a look of compassion on their faces, they vigorously criticized the current chaotic political situation and denounced the incompetence of the ministers far away in Shengjing.
"Last year when the new emperor came to the throne, the world was in chaos!" A fat-headed scribe looked up to the sky and sighed.
"The newly enthroned emperor is young and less than twenty-nine years old. How can the kings who have been in charge of one party's political power for many years be willing to succumb to Huangkou's children? They all have wild ambitions. The court cannot restrain them. The kings do not listen to the emperor's orders and go their own way. The world is in jeopardy.
Chaos is inevitable." The scribe who spoke also sighed as he shook his feather fan.
"In the early spring of this year, King Lu and King Yuchuan fought a battle, and King Yuchuan lost completely. The eighteen counties under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou, King Yuchuan's fiefdom, were also occupied and looted by King Lu like locusts passing through, and he connived at the soldiers.
They burned, killed and looted the city, which has become a hell on earth!"
Another scribe was filled with indignation, took a sip of tea, slapped the cup on the table and reprimanded: "Those refugees outside the city all fled from the eighteen counties under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou, the fiefdom of King Yuchuan! King Lu did this.
This cruel and inhumane thing will not end well!"
"The culprit is still King Yuchuan! He started a war with King Lu to fight for a beautiful concubine, but he was so incompetent that he was so vulnerable. He lost his fief, but he ran away quickly and defected to his brother Qing, who is a compatriot from the same mother.
King Yang, it’s true that good people don’t live long, but disasters last for thousands of years.”
"In the final analysis, the emperor was still incompetent and unable to restrain the kings, which led to chaos in the world. After the war between the two kings, the situation has become even worse now. Heroes from all over the country have joined together, and the central government can no longer order the states and counties under it."
"I heard that the barbarian thief named Wu led 10,000 cavalry and braved the world to besiege the imperial city of Shengjing. He was only one step away from being able to drive straight into the imperial city and threaten the safety of the emperor. All the kings from all sides
So far, no one has come to help, and we are just sitting back and watching the emperor be trapped. Is this possible?"
"true!"
After receiving an affirmative answer, all the scribes were shocked! There was a traitor so bold! How could the emperor dare to disrespect the emperor when he was ordered by heaven? The civil strife in the Wen family was ultimately a matter of the Wen family. How could ministers with different surnames dare to covet the imperial power? Are you not afraid of heaven?
Divine punishment?
"Really!" The fat-headed scribe affirmed: "My second uncle is in Shengjing, where he has paid homage to Da Honglu. According to the news he sent back, the courtiers have negotiated terms with the traitor Wu Kui, as long as he is willing to surrender."
Feng Shengjing can grant him the position of prime minister."
This fat-headed and big-eared scribe, named Wang Ji, was born into a low-class family and was a powerful local man in Hexian County. The second uncle he referred to was the contemporary helmsman trained by the Wang family with all their efforts.
Before the second uncle, a Beijing official, could lead his people out of this small He County, there was great chaos in the world, and the Wang family was in bad luck.
The scribe waving his feather fan stood up angrily and shouted: "The dignified emperor was actually coerced by a barbarian traitor. Where is the majesty of the emperor? Where is the majesty of our country, Daji?"
When the scholars heard this news, they were even more confused.
One person quickly shouted out what was in his mind: "Is the situation so bad? The Wen family's royal family is about to reach its peak. The princes of all walks of life in the world have become a climate, and troubles are about to arise. This might not be a good time for you and me to become successful and famous!"
What this man said opened up new ideas for everyone.
In his mind, he compiled the biographies of various princes, as well as their temperaments and forces. Going to defect early was also a good way to find a way to follow the dragon, make a wife and shadow, and promote his family to that first-class aristocratic family.
Everyone lost their temper for a moment and started thinking about how to profit from it.
They cannot fully understand the major events in the world. But when it comes to their own interests, they must plan carefully.
Wang Ji's family is in the money and grain business, and 80% of the grain shops in Hexian County are run by his family. Now that the people are displaced, it is a good time to hoard fertile land and take people as slaves. Those people are too hungry to survive. Now
Maybe you only need to take out a bucket of rice to exchange for a young and strong labor force. How beautiful!
The refugees outside the city needed to be carefully searched. This matter should be done sooner rather than later. Wang Ji touched his fat chin and considered it in secret, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha.
The house behind the county government office.
Before lunch was finished, the housekeeper hurried in. After saluting Lin Zheyun with his hands crossed, he bent down and presented an official document from the imperial court with both hands.
Lin Zheyun immediately uncovered the dark red official document seal and read ten lines at a glance.
Lin Zhihuang was very close and glanced at the contents of the official document. The characters on it were strangely shaped. The characters were familiar to her, but she did not recognize the characters.
Lin Zhihuang: I never imagined that after living for thirty-one years, I would still be illiterate one day.
After traveling here, there were some benefits. She found that her memory had become very powerful. She just glanced at the official document. Although she didn't understand its meaning, she remembered all the contents like a photo.
As long as she wants, she can copy the content again at any time.
What's even more outrageous is that the memories of the past have become very clear. The books she has read and the words she has spoken are all stored in her mind like videos. Even the storybooks her mother read to her when she was a baby;
Someone casually handed her a flyer on the street. At that time, she only glanced at it and threw it into the trash can. But now, as long as she thinks about it carefully, she can clearly recall the contents of the flyer.
Now, as long as she wants, she can 'read' the content she missed or forgotten at any time. This is just like the humanoid camera, which records as soon as she sees it, which is outrageous. But such outrageous 'time travel' has happened, and this is
Lin Zhihuang could accept it even if it was outrageous.
This superior memory may be the golden finger brought to her by time travel. Lin Zhihuang, an atheist, is very powerful in his heart, but no one talks about it.
Lin Zhihuang stuffed food into his mouth melancholy.
After Lin Zheyun read the official document, his expression changed drastically, he stood up and walked out quickly.
"Hu Liu, Hu Qi, hurry up and tell Huang Xian Cheng and Wei Xian Wei to come to the Yamen quickly. We have important matters to discuss." Lin Zheyun ordered in a hurry as he walked.
"No!" Hu Liu and Hu Qi, the boys waiting outside the hall, saluted with crossed hands and took the order and ran away quickly.
The head of the family left on business, so Pei ordered everyone to disperse. She took Lin Zhihuang and Lin Zhihui back to her courtyard.
As soon as a few people entered Pei's courtyard, Lin Zhihui shouted loudly: "I want to pay tribute!"
Diarrhea just after eating? What’s wrong? Lin Zhihuang’s mouth twitched.
"Go to the side room quickly." After Mrs. Pei finished speaking, she turned back and took Lin Zhihuang's hand and said with a smile: "This is because your brother does not treat you as an outsider, so he is so casual."
Several maids who followed Lin Zhihui immediately prepared a toilet bowl, curtains and other supplies and headed to the side hall.
Lin Zhihui saw that several maids were going into the side hall to arrange the decorations, and said anxiously: "I don't want to go out in the house and feel depressed! Let them put up the curtains in the courtyard to make it bright."
Boy, you are really informal!
When the nobles here pay their respects, they usually find a quiet room, set up the curtains, put a chair with a hole in it, and connect a wooden bucket under the hole for people to relieve themselves. After the event is over, the accompanying maids will come and clean up.
I held a piece of bamboo in my hand, yes, it’s something that can be used to rub a blockage, no.
Maybe it was noble paper. She was more lucky. She wore the clothes of an aristocratic lady and used disposable incense bamboo chips that were polished smooth. If she was not lucky, she would have to squat in the primitive latrine and use what ordinary people would use -
—Reusing bamboo slices unlimited times. Ugh...
On the first day after Lin Zhihuang arrived, he was not used to having others serve him, clean up his own excrement, etc., so he clamored to go to the latrine to deal with it himself.
In the end, he was defeated by the primitiveness of the hut.
As soon as you enter the hut here, you will see a large pit with two thick wooden boards on top. A large stone slab is slanted under the wooden boards, which is designed to facilitate the smooth sliding of excrement into the pit after it falls.
Not to mention the ecstatic smell of the latrine, Lin Zhihuang was really worried that he would not be able to step on the wooden board and fall into the manure pit...
Because the latrine persuaded her to quit. In the two days since she came here, Lin Zhihuang allowed herself to adapt to the aristocratic way of using the toilet. She was no longer shy about letting these maids handle her excrement, and she carried it like a parade.
Wearing a bucket containing your own excrement, you have to go around half of the county government office to go to the clean room for cleaning... Maybe this is the high-level privilege enjoyed by the aristocracy. Shyness does not exist among the aristocrats, they thought.
If you want to enjoy it, you don't deserve privacy.
"Sister, you and mother chat first while I go."
"..."
While Lin Zhihui was settling important matters in the yard, Mrs. Pei took Lin Zhihuang's hand and began to talk about herself.
"Auntie, how long will you continue to be separated from me? My mother didn't want to send you to Shengjing at that time, but suppressing the word filial piety is too big! There's nothing I can do!"
"My daughter doesn't blame you, mother."
Lin Zhihuang thought about her modern parents, who had focused on their careers all their lives. She always felt that falling in love was a waste of time. She focused all her energy on her career, so she never got married. When she suddenly came here, her parents should have been in vain.
She must be sad to send someone to a black-haired person. Fortunately, she is not the only child of her parents, and time will heal their pain. The large inheritance she left will also allow her parents to have food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
It’s considered filial piety.
She could only think this way, otherwise she would not be able to go back when she came here. Thinking too much about it would only make her sad.
As a woman who can become an entrepreneur, Lin Zhihuang has never had a sticky and sad temper, and her mentality adjusts very quickly. The established facts that have already happened cannot be changed. What can be changed is only your own mentality. How to survive in adversity
