In Guangzhou, the sky is just getting bright, and the sun is rising as usual. The salty smell of sunlight and sea water gradually faded away from the fog, and permeated the dotted pier little by little;
Most people who stay awake at night have already gone home before the sun comes out. Kazaodi Fish Market and Zaohai Market are also dispersing, some coolies are sweating at the pier to clean up the garbage and dirt left by the crowd, many laborers and sailors, sleepy eyes stretched out and put on sweat towels, One after another, they walked out of the shacks and private rooms, preparing to welcome the Xindi Bodu.
As the sea breeze washes away. The last scent of pine and oil burns away in the sky over this large port and city that never sleeps in South China Sea, and a brand new and busy day is about to begin.
The Port of Guangzhou, since the Qin eradicated Nanyue and Zhao Tuo became king, Panyu has a history of nearly a thousand years since it was established as the capital. It seems that no matter the rise and fall of the dynasties, it seems that it is difficult to affect the southern corner of the country. Zhan is expanding, expanding to the edge of the mountain. Then it turned to the sea to expand, and dikes were drained on the tidal flats, and new land was reclaimed, which gave rise to a large number of settlements with the customs of various countries.
Of course, according to the usual situation, the boring and busy early morning belongs to the poor, except for the doorman who is on duty at night. Even the most diligent tax collector was lying in the comfortably quilt. At this time, most of the morning belonged to the servants of the various houses. When the sun was above the bar, the market was full of these servants and men wearing various family crest patterns; when the market opened, the carriages of some merchants, The high-ranking staff, such as the tents and stewards in silk cloth, gathered on the street to form a landscape of traffic and people, and the quiet city gradually regained its vitality. This is the beginning of a new day for most shops. When the sun approached Zhongtian, some small and medium-sized businesses that still needed their owners to rush around to work, and some figures in robes and towels appeared in the shops late at this time.
As for the life of a wealthy home in the city, which is slightly qualified to be called, it has nothing to do with the whole morning. For most people, breakfast is the most important and hearty meal of the day, and they open the door in the afternoon. The time to meet guests, as for the essence of their daily life and "gao chao", it was still in the deep night.
Therefore, for a while, the city shrouded in red glow, like a golden city shrouded in divine light, is another kind of night view of the wharf, which is known as the sea of lights and the sea of lights, with the gathering of thousands of ships at night. Enduring customs; it’s just that all of this is now because of the scar-like ruins and ruins accidentally distributed in the city, and it is somewhat contaminated with some sense of decline and decadence.
And in the new day, in the Metropolitan Government’s Mansion in the inner city of Guangzhou, those gorgeous and unusual homes have already been cleaned up, and among the seemingly empty official offices, a copy has just been presented. Early eclipse.
Compared with the surrounding carved beams and paintings, the gorgeous, complex and elegant environment and background, the yellow rice with carved rice on a small wooden case and a large pottery bowl, a small dish of prosthetic sauce, and a pair of quilts The joints are particularly thick and the palms are holding gray chopsticks without any carvings or lacquer. The middle-aged man who also wears a pale cloth robe looks a little out of place and shabby.
As the current host here and the ruler of the hundreds of thousands of people in Guangzhou, the weather-beaten and vicissitudes of life general Huang Chao, but he eats deliciously and inadvertently reveals a hidden expression of satisfaction and nostalgia. After picking up the last handful of carved rice and dipping it in the remaining juice of the sauce and swallowing his belly, he wiped his jaw slightly and sighed.
"Lao Fantou's craftsmanship is still the same as in the past."
"General, your diet and daily life are too clear"
A middle-aged scribe standing on the side, but persuaded with all his heart.
"There are so many things to do, and I hope to take care of my precious body..."
"Previous lay Mojie {Wang Wei} had a "Deng Lou Ge", saying:'Amber wine and rice are carved, and you will not be imperial. It will be late.'"
Huang Chao smiled slightly.
"This is the first-class delicacy that God has given us for those who are hungry and hungry."
"At the beginning, when we took the children of the three surnames and seven families and sold the place..."
"With this half-bowl of carved rice, it is a rare hospitality and kindness..."
"Even after all these years, I still miss it very much..."
"But that's on the road to battle...in this city"
The scribes had some admiration and some worries and wanted to persuade something, but he was interrupted by a wave of his hand.
"How can I not know what they are in private..."
Huang Chao sighed deeply.
"But since I made a vow to stand up for Li Shu in the world, and the general commanded the volunteers from all walks of life,"
"Then even more consistently uphold this body... Otherwise, how to rectify and restrain them."
"How is the re-clearing and re-cultivation of the Cantonese area, as well as the opening of the market, progressing?"
"The clearing of fields and the cultivation of farming have already achieved initial results,"
"It is estimated that there are more than 300,000 acres of new and old raw and mature fields, but in addition to seeds, there are still a lot of cattle and farm tools..."
"In addition, there are not many achievements in the market, there are still many wait-and-sees, but few enter the market..."
"Moreover, most of them are small businesses and small capitals of small needles and brains."
"No matter how young it is, it is still a livelihood, and it is also a gesture of supporting my volunteers' long-term peace and stability"
Huang Chao sighed involuntarily.
"It takes more care and support and support..."
"promise..."
The scribe should say.
"All Righteous..."
Then, he turned his head and said to another high-level general who was waiting.
"How is the investigation of the arsenal of collaborating with the enemy and the Tibetan thieves..."
The name of this man is Zhang Quanyi. He was one of the few old brothers from the Yanxiao gang who was fluent in writing and had experience in dealing with officials and soldiers. All the elite athletes.
"The Xiaoyi military commander Zhou Bu'er, who is in charge of guarding, is waiting for crime in the military mansion."
The general named Zhang Quanyi hurriedly said.
"Is it due to inadequate supervision or ties with those dog thieves?"
"The staff of the Zuo Sima Department is undergoing a thorough investigation and interrogation overnight."
Having said this, Zhang Quanyi paused and said.
"In addition, dozens of people involved in the city have been arrested and put into prison..."
"During the seizure of many secret weapons and desperadoes, we just wait for the next step of confession and evidence..."
"It is also necessary to prevent the people below from wantonly expanding right and wrong, and deliberately or unintentionally act that disturbs the people."
Huang Chao thought for a while and ordered.
"Just let the Xiaotou team dispatch them everywhere to step up supervision..."
"Follow the general decree..."
Zhang Quanyi sternly responded.
At this time, Huang Chao suddenly saw a name on the pile of copywriting he submitted, and he couldn't help but scream.
"This monk again..."
"It's actually a bit tied and related to our rebels..."
In another part of the city, in a secret room that cuts off most of the sound and light, the floor is already covered with shattered precious objects and exquisite porcelain with graceful patterns.
"On the other side of the arsenal, it was discovered by the grass thief... is in Dasuo the whole city"
A thunderous voice was also clamoring.
"The thief of this bad thing is bald, but what is the origin?"
"Hurry up and visit with me for one or two,"
"Please also ask the proprietor to change a shelter with me as soon as possible"
The other voice is cautiously persuading
"Because the incident happened suddenly, several houses were caught off guard..."
"I'm afraid that under severe torture, it will soon be implicated here."
. . . . . .
Amidst some kind of faint curse and chanting, when Zhou Huaian woke up in the hazy, the sky was already shining and the sun was high. The unfamiliar environment and furnishings, as well as the unfamiliar bedding on his body, the bedding is basically 70% new, and it exudes the smell of sun exposure, which also reminded him of some previous things.
I just remember that I didn’t know how much I drank, so that at the end I was so full of alcohol that I couldn’t get out of the city and return to the camp by myself. So he was taken by Cao Shixiong personally and sent to another house in Wang Chongyin’s possession to rest. Up. It's really a shame to say that, at any rate, I was trained in the wine table and KtV, and was turned over by a group of ancients who used the low-alcohol wine to win.
However, it seems that because of the fact that he was in the city, what he heard here was not the noise similar to the operation in a military camp, but rather quiet birds and insects, and the soft voice of faint female voices.
Pushing open the recent wooden grid paper window, he realized that he was actually in a room on the third floor of a wooden building along the street. Underneath was a sweeping scene of life in the city, and in the distance there were scattered and scattered Chen Za. Hanging clothes and sheets together are stuffed with stalls and shops. Nearby are many private houses in Lin Litsby, and from time to time there are all kinds of people who are obviously wearing rebel uniforms, etc., and they are constantly coming and going. In and out of the period.
Obviously this is a temporary settlement and living area related to the Rebels. And many people just wore uniforms or military robes in broad daylight, and blatantly took their family members and relatives and swaggered through the market like this, or ran straight back to their residences, and never came out for a long time. It seems that the overall atmosphere is quite relaxed and lax, which forms a sharp contrast with Zhou Huaian's relatively tight and busy daily life in the Storm Camp outside the city.
Well, here is obviously the best portrayal of ease and depravity.
And for the first time he saw the family members of the rebels accompanying the camp, they were also the old and weak women and children in the usual sense; you know, when in Stormrage Camp, there were basically no women, even the leaders headed by Wang Pan. , And most of them regularly go to nearby market towns to solve their physiological problems.
After all, in this non-chaotic era, under the pressure of life, there is always no shortage of long-term or temporary women who sell themselves. Even under the short-term occupation of the rebels, they still have not changed.
Only among the volunteers' family members Zhou Huai'an saw, there were relatively few elderly people and young children; while strong middle-aged women and young women accounted for a large proportion. Moreover, according to Zhou Huaian's vague knowledge, it is said that most of the family members were lost on the south road, so it is obvious that many of these family members were recent and were able to become the "family members" of the rebels.
