333 poor
The little emperor calmly stepped on the instep of Xiao Dezi's foot. The two walked out little by little with tacit cooperation. Not only did Xiao Dezi not have a trace of impatience, but also enjoyed it. He felt that when he was stepped on by the dragon's foot, the ancestral graves were smoking.
Liu Li Wei looked aside, sneered, and said to the princess sister, "My idea is too simple. I'm afraid this private visit will not have any effect."
"This is just the beginning. Everything is difficult at the beginning." On the contrary, the princess sister was more confident than him and gently persuaded him: "Just like me, just now, I don't know anything. I don't even dare to drink too much water to be too hot for him, and I don't dare to be too cold to be afraid of the ice..."
Liu Liwa followed her eyes and looked at her flat lower abdomen under the coarse linen clothes. She couldn't laugh or cry. Ignorance was really terrible. Just as I was about to explain that even if the pregnant woman and boiled water, she would not burn the baby. When she looked up, she found that the princess looked at him with a smile.
Liu Li Wa suddenly understood that the princess sister also knew humor. She just used this metaphor to tell him that everything was difficult at the beginning.
Liu Liwei nodded and followed the little emperor. The four people walked out of the city. They didn't know what the princess and her brother explained. It can be seen that in addition to hating the smell here, the little emperor was still very happy. He himself lived deep in the palace and had long been tired of the life of the caged bird. At this moment, he He changed into an ordinary blue coarse cloth coat, and with a white face, he looked like a sour and depressed scholar.
The princess's sister wears herself very simple clothes, just like a new daughter-in-law of ordinary people, diligent and thrifty. On the contrary, Liu Liwa and Xiao Dezi were dressed in brocade clothes and looked like dogs. What they didn't know, they thought it was the prince. In fact, one was a turtle and the other was a father-in-law!
Four people go out of the city gate, and any city has its specificity. Where is a bustling area, where is a trading area, where is a red light district, and where is a slum.
Undoubtedly, the west gate where Liu Liwa and others are at this moment is the slums of Linyu County. In this urban area, brick and tiles can be seen everywhere. The roof is full of weeds, the broken door, only a door panel, dead and no vitality, and there is indeed no figure around, although it is still It's early in the morning, but people here go to work before dawn to make a living.
However, most of the people living here are the people at the bottom. They have no knowledge, because it is difficult to eat, and they have no spare money to study at all. They know that they live by working, but no one is willing to provide them with a working environment, so their lives are getting poorer and poorer, which is the reason why they die of poverty.
Linyu County is different from Ningyuan County, where Zhaojiazhuang is located. There are thousands of hectares of fertile land. Everyone has arable land, and self-sufficiency is also considered common prosperity. However, Linyu County is much more complicated. There are rich merchants, small workshops, handicrafts, small merchants and hawkers, etc. The three education and nine streams are very complicated, so the pressure of competition is also very great.
Moreover, Linyu County is a well-known rich county. There are drunken gold fans, wine houses, brothel houses, a paradise for the rich, and a paradise that the poor yearn for. They all think that they can make a living here. Even the people who escape from the famine and beg for food are constantly coming here, because there are more opportunities to survive. .
When they go out of the city gate, they completely feel the characteristics of the slums in Xicheng District. Many people gather outside the city. They are not old. Most of them are men and women. They all wear rags and are thin. They are on both sides of the city gate. Together with the city gate, there is a road, which leads to it. The road in his town has a strict hierarchy in this year, and even the road is standardized. For example, there is an official road outside the main gate, which is very flat. The original intention is to build it specially for the official to facilitate the transmission of information. When the decree is issued, ordinary people can't walk. Later, it gradually opened up, only allowed to go, and transportation is not allowed. If you want to transport goods, you have to go through other Chengmen roads. As far as Linyu County is concerned, the East Gate Road is a special channel for transporting food and clothing, because the East City is full of rich people. They have to enjoy food and clothing and other daily necessities first, and it is convenient for them.
As for the West City, you know from the manure spilled on the ground that it is completely the transportation channel for garbage and waste. The garbage in the city is transported out, and the firewood outside, tung oil used for oil lamps, fire sickles and other items will be transported in here.
The goods are transported by the general dealer, which is given to local agents in Linyu County outside the city. Due to the rampant spies, foreign trucks are not allowed in the capital, and the government is afraid of hiding and transporting weapons. Therefore, when these firewood, tung oil, fire sickle and other goods arrive in large quantities, someone must unload the truck and load the car, which has become the survival of the people in the slums of Xicheng District.
At this time, the men and women standing outside the city are waiting to live. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month has not passed. Most people are still immersed in the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, but they have not made money or eaten enough for many days because of the Spring Festival.
not far from the city, it is surrounded by the green hills outside Linyu County. There are young people who get up early in good health early in the morning and go up the mountain to cut firewood by themselves. When they come back, they sell them to those established agents at a low price. In any case, they can earn more money than the hard work.
Liu Li Wa looked at this scene and felt sad. In the cold wind, these workers at the bottom trembled and their eyes were blank, because they could not see the future and hope. Tomorrow is still the same, day after day.
The saddest thing is that their descendants will repeat their hopeless lives. The great man said that knowledge changes fate. Even if you run away in a restaurant, you have to know the recipe. Even in a brothel, you have to know how to write flower cards. But if you don't have money, you don't get knowledge. This is true in the past and present life. Here, as long as you have money, you have the opportunity to enter the school. However, in the developed future, you must not only have money, but also have a local household registration. The place of residence is also near the school. If you can't study in school, you have to wear a green scarf and pay a disobedient deposit...
But now it's all right. His Majesty the emperor came in person. This is not the grassroots research and inspection activities in the news broadcast. He is the leader today. His Majesty personally covered his nose, endured the stench, and stepped on the eunuch's feet to visit everyone!
Before they could understand the form, they felt that someone was pulling their trouser legs, especially Liu Liwa and Xiaodezi were the most popular. Looking down, they saw a few unkempt and ragged beggars pulling them, stretching out their thin arms, and saying angrily, "Grandpa, have pity on us. Give us a little money and let us have a few full meals. When we recover our strength, we will definitely make money and give it back to you..."
