Chapter 94 Panyu Experience
Like Li Jia, Huangshan, as Sima of Danzhou, was surrounded by wealth and family, and the adjustment was wrong. He immediately boarded a ship that had been prepared and headed north.
Unlike Li Jia who went north to Quanzhou, Huangshan went to Xingwang Mansion and brought his family wealth for decades to report to Li Jia and Li Gao brothers, otherwise he would not be able to swallow the anger in his heart.
"My ancestors have been entrenched in Danzhou for decades. Now, I am just a stray dog. However, after all my life, I have to take a bite and make peace!"
As the ship gradually landed, Panyu was everywhere in front of him. There were countless merchants and merchants, and it was a prosperous scene, but all this still could not extinguish the hatred in his heart.
"This little gentry from Jianwu Town actually reached his hand to Danzhou. I don't believe that you can reach Panyu?"
"I'm going to report to you. Since Danzhou has no place for my Huang family, you Li Jia can't even imagine it!"
With a cold snorting, Huangshan took Wutong and his family to the dock resolutely, without looking back, as if he wanted to forget Danzhou where he lived for that generation.
I came to Panyu with recklessness, crowded and crowded, and the scene was extremely terrifying. I hired two or three ox carts to go to Panyu City.
Huang Sima naturally prepared and prepared a way out early. He was no exception to the common techniques of this big family.
The mansion I bought is in the west of the city, which is also a top-notch courtyard. It covers an area of five or six acres, but the land price is not cheap. It took nearly 800 guan to buy it. This is the price ten years ago, and now it is more than 1,500 guan.
As the emperor continued to expand the palace, the inner city continued to expand outward, squeezing away the houses in Panyu City step by step. There were more residents outside the city than in the city.
It is already quite difficult to have a residence in the city.
After paying the tax on entering the city, it seemed that they came from another place. Five ox carts plundered nearly five stags of money before they were allowed to enter. Moreover, the greedy eyes of the city gate guards made Huangshan feel bad.
"We should live in peace as soon as possible!" He became more and more hatred in his heart. If he were in Danzhou City, who would dare to collect his entry tax? He had a further layer of hatred for Li Jia.
The bustling scene is more than ten times better than Danzhou. Two teenage sons are also sitting in the carriage, like mud legs that have never entered the city, looking around, constantly surprised.
"Aye, what kind of shops are these? The shops are so dark. Without any signs, the door is full of carriages!"
Hearing this, Huangshan looked at it and saw that his son was right. It was a filthy alley full of strange but narrow shops. There was no signboard. I don’t know what it was, but it was parked with all kinds of ox, carriages, some decorated with silk and some with colorful patterns, which looked extraordinary.
It happened that there were many people in front of me, and the carriage slowly stopped, lifted the curtain, and looked carefully.
I saw that there were men with simple clothes walking down from the various carriages, all wearing black shirts, lowering their heads, and hats. With the help of their servants, they quickly entered the narrow and dark shops.
After a while, a series of miserable shouts came out, and the sad sound penetrated into the bone marrow and penetrated into the eardrums. This sound was a little aggrieved and a little awkward, and a little cool and cool. Although it was blocked by layers of resistance, it still rushed to the street, causing a dull pain.
This is a kind of pain that only men understand.
The dull sound entered his ears, Huang Shan clamped his legs unconsciously, and his body shivered.
Soon, several men wearing straw hats became weak and staggered onto the carriage. Although they were covered in their faces, they could still see the pain that penetrated their bones.
In the shallow ditch in front of the alley, a thin red stream flowed, and the smell of blood could be vaguely smelled.
Just as he was about to observe it carefully, the carriage suddenly started and left the painful land opposite.
"Sir, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, don't look at it again!" The driver who was driving the car shouted, but the speed of the ox cart was much faster.
"Why?" Huang Shan asked directly, his tone was very harsh. Obviously, he had not changed from the identity of the official.
"This place is also known as Renzin Lane, and is also called Guanti Lane. If you don't have a certain identity, it is not suitable to come here. If you are not qualified to come, the store will not receive it!"
"Oh? There is something like this?" Huangshan is very strange.
"Hehe! Even civilians can't see the threshold!" The coachman looked back and said with a different smile:
"Those officials, one by one, are all hypocritical, but they all come in private. Isn't it just a matter of killing the official position? Isn't it just a matter of enduring it and then pass!"
"We untouchables are useless if we go!"
The coachman who chatted with this chattering coach inherited the arrogance of the emperor and did not take the local rich man seriously. After talking for several words, Huangshan then figured out what was going on.
It turned out that a while ago, the young emperor living in the palace became overwhelmed and suddenly asked officials above the sixth rank to be castrated and castrated to maintain their official positions, otherwise it would be inevitable to be demoted.
All the officials had great resistance to this order, and it was difficult to estimate the fact that they abandoned their official positions and hung their seals. Many of them also went to the Shangshu, the Secretary of the Secretariat, and the Prime Minister of the Three Secretariats.
However, the temptation of power is too great. Those who are older and have strong desire for power will naturally be willing to give up a knife in exchange for a higher position of power.
Most officials chose that knife to maintain their power, which gave birth to a large number of castration hands. Some officials were tested by strange castration hands and bleeding to death.
The young emperor, who had always been considerate, set up a large number of official silkworm rooms in the bustling east of the city to castrate these officials who wanted to continue to serve the emperor for free.
After that, the tide of castration became more and more intense. Since that knife, not only the sixth rank or above, but all court officials in Beijing have been voluntarily castrated.
"The court is full of people inside the door!"
Those who have not been castrated are called outsiders and will never see the emperor's face again, let alone meet him in the court.
Those low-level officials naturally cannot enjoy free treatment and can only pay out of their own pockets.
Therefore, in less than half a year, hundreds of people in Panyu City have made a living by castration, and their scale has been continuously expanding.
Because the young His Majesty wants to build a palace, the demand for eunuchs has increased greatly, thanks to the fact that eunuchs are higher than civil servants and are easier to advance. A large number of leisurely and ambitious young people also want to take shortcuts.
