Chapter Eleven Xishan Building
The history of Zhuxia Shenzhou follows scholars. Because books are the carrier of knowledge, scholars who have mastered knowledge are naturally the group of people on this land. With the changes of dynasties, the status of scholars has become higher and higher, but the integrity of scholars has become lower and lower.
In the Ming Dynasty, the social status of scholars reached a peak. However, their overall integrity had fallen below the horizontal line.
When the Song Dynasty was destroyed, 100,000 people went to the sea to die. When the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, there were very few such people.
The water is too cold and the scalp is itchy. What a irony?
In this dynasty, they had a level that was so high that they could control the replacement of the throne. The social status they had reached the peak of all dynasties, but when the country was in critical condition, they did not assume the corresponding responsibility, but instead tried their best to dig the roots of the country.
In Ying Yi's view, at least 70% of the sins of the Han Dynasty would fall on the heads of these scholars.
Sun Xiucai is a scholar, with fame and fortune. Although he is just a scholar and his family is not a powerful and wealthy person, he still has status in Ye County and Yuzhou. He is a member of the scholar class and can enjoy status and treatment that the people cannot enjoy.
Ying Yi was worried that Sun Xiucai would not be able to enter because Ye County was closed early. But Erniu's words made Ying Yi understand. This was not an era of knowledge explosion hundreds of years later. Scholars in this era cannot be viewed from the perspective of later.
"What should I do with Brother Ying?"
Erniu scratched his ears and cheeks. Sun Xiucai could get in, but they couldn't get in. Could it be that he forced himself to break in? This is impossible.
"Walk."
The two left far away, Ying Yi looked at the sky and said, "It's almost dark. We'll go in when it's dark."
Erniu is ignorant.
The sunset quickly fell to the west and the sky quickly dimmed. At some point, lights were lit on the top of the city. Erniu and Ying Yi squatted under a tree, looking around from time to time. Erniu was trembling coldly, and hugged his arms and shrank into a ball.
Ying Yi stood up and said, "Let's go, go into the city."
Erniu followed Ying Yi blankly, taking advantage of the night to avoid the sight of the city and quietly touched the city.
Ye County is not a big city, with a wall not high, only more than meter, three or four meters. This height is not enough for ordinary people, but it is not an obstacle to Ying Yi.
"Come on, bite."
Ying Yi handed the Erniu a piece of wooden stick.
Erniu was confused. He did whatever Ying Yi said and bit the wooden stick.
Ying Yi said again: "Shut up, don't shout."
Before Erniu could recall it, he felt like a cloud was flying, and a huge force was holding him up, flying up to the city wall, and almost fell to his head. He was so scared that he wanted to scream, and the wooden stick biting in his mouth worked at this time.
Ying Yi grabbed Erniu's neck with one hand, held his butt with the other hand and pushed Erniu's body upwards easily. Then he pushed the ground hard under his feet and rushed up.
"Walk."
Ying Yi pulled the two niu and jumped into the city from the city wall.
In a dark alley, Erniu only felt it after all and slapped his chest a few times: "I'm scared to death! Brother Ying, at least you say something, my soul is gone."
Ying Yi ignored him and poked his head out of the alley and looked at it: "Eniu, have you been to Ye County before?"
Erniu said: "I've been here a few times."
Ying Yi nodded: "Do you know where Xishan Tower is?"
"Xishan Tower?" Erniu scratched his forehead and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "It is the largest restaurant in Ye County. I have been to sell wildlife with Brother Zhang before, and the price is the best there. It is on the street, on the left."
Ying Yi was silent when he heard Erniu say about Brother Zhang, and was a little amused and amused: "On the street, on the left?"
"yes."
Ying Yi slapped Erniu on the forehead: "Which street?"
"The street that entered the city." Erniu was puzzled, wondering why Ying Yi slapped him.
Ying Yi sighed in his heart: "Then let's go."
He also reminded: "Let your eyes highlight and hide."
Ye County must work hard to prevent thieves. Not to mention that water is not leaking, it is impossible to leak, but there are curfews and night patrols.
Ying Yi calculated in his mind and found that the place he came in was not far from the avenue to the city. But the calculation was not big, although Ye County was not big, there were many messy alleys inside, and he almost got lost in the dark.
Fortunately, the road in Ye County is unique, so I finally found it. After a few waves of night patrols, it was more than an hour later when I arrived in front of Xishan Tower.
Xishan Tower is indeed the largest restaurant in Ye County. It has a wide storefront and the main building has three floors. I don’t know how big it is, and how many yards it has.
Ying Yi took Erniu over the side wall and entered a side courtyard in Xishan Tower. Then Ying Yi caught him blindly.
I had agreed to Sun Xiucai earlier that this was the Xishan Tower. Ying Yi didn’t know the Xishan Tower, but Sun Xiucai knew that this was a symbol of Ye County and was easy to find, so I agreed to be here. However, Ying Yi didn’t know which room and which yard Sun Xiucai lived in.
This black paint is so dark. Could it be that I have to look for the yard one by one and knock on the door one by one?
Erniu also discovered the seriousness of the matter and whispered: "What should I do now, Brother Ying?"
Ying Yi frowned and thought for a while: "Take a chance."
At this moment, the door of the side courtyard creaked open, and Ying Yi hurriedly pulled Erniu and hid it in the corner. He saw a servant who looked like a waiter walking in from outside the yard, cursing and complaining, probably complaining about how the shopkeeper squeezed.
Ying Yi's heart turned around and stood up from the darkness: "Waiter."
The waiter was shocked and saw a burly man walking out of the darkness and trembling.
"You...who are you?"
Ying Yi said in a gentle voice: "I have something to do and want to ask my second brother."
The child saw Ying Yi's face clearly. Although it was a little rough, it was not ferocious and sinister. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "This guest official, this is a side courtyard, where we servants live. Why did you come here?"
Ying Yi said: "My brother and I drank some wine. We wanted to talk to Sun Xiucai, but we didn't expect to be here."
Erniu also came out.
Ying Yi asked: "Which yard does Sun Xiucai live in? It's black and black, so I can't find a way."
"Soicai Sun?"
When the little brother heard this, he said, "But he is a scholar with little eyes and white face without beard?"
When Ying Yi heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised by the little brother's excitement. He smiled and said, "Sun Xiucai is not a small eye or a white face. Which scholar are you talking about?"
It turns out that this little brother is actually testing.
After all, Ying Yi and the other two were too abrupt.
When the second brother heard this, he exhaled: "Objectively, don't blame me for being too careful. The world is not peaceful today..."
