Chapter 79 Jiangshui Lane

"Uncle Master said that your visit to Beijing this time is a very bad omen, so be careful at all times," Zhang Buyi said.

Kang Youwei heard this and wanted to answer the question. Do you need to remind him about this kind of thing?

But Zhang Buyi continued: "Uncle Shi also said that Sir, you should be careful not only about the stubborn people in the court."

Kang Youwei was stunned for a moment, thought of something, and said, "How can foreigners openly interfere with the government?"

Zhang Buyi shook his head and said: "It's not the West, it's the Queen Mother in the harem!"

Kang Youwei was stunned again, and then said in confusion: "You mean... interfering in politics?"

The fit has dropped a bit seriously, but since I have the opportunity, I will give it a try. What if there are unexpected gains in the future?

As his thoughts flickered, Zhang Buyi nodded and said, "This is what my uncle told me. He told me, sir, to be careful about the situation of forcing you into the palace."

Kang Youwei's expression changed obviously several times, and after a long time he said: "I understand, I will pay close attention to it!"

"That's good!" Zhang Buyi breathed a sigh of relief as if he had completed some task.

"Is Taoist Master Zhengsong okay?" The two were silent for a moment before Kang Youwei asked.

Zhang Buyi smiled and replied: "It's good. My uncle's injury was a bit serious back then, and it took a few years. But in the end it was a blessing in disguise. After he recovered from his injury, he was directly promoted to the post."

"Then I can rest assured. Almost all of us in Massachusetts City owe our lives to the Taoist Priest!" Kang Youwei said.

The two chatted for a long time before saying goodbye.

Zhang Buyi looked at Kang Youwei leaving, his eyes flashing with light. He had never influenced the court before, and this time he wanted to take this opportunity to try to influence the overall situation in the editing world.

See if you get anything!

And even if this world is not reality, Zhang Buyi is not willing to regard it as illusory, but rather as a parallel world.

Since he came to this era, if he had the chance, he would try it anyway.

······

In the afternoon, the steamer arrived at Jiangshui Lane after a day and a half of sailing. This is not a big stop, it will only stop for a short while and then leave.

And this is also where Zhang Buyi disembarked.

In fact, this is not the closest disembarkation point to Zhezhou, but it is the only place to take the steamer. The reason why Zhang Buyi came to Jiangshui Lane, the county town, was not only to see the steamer, but also because he wanted to fish!

Because of the problem of transportation, he came here to try the big fish that Chen Lianfang failed to catch, the hidden scholar of Daxia!

······

As a port city with the largest waterway in Daxia, Jiangshui Lane is very prosperous even if it is just a temporary stop.

Although in terms of specifications, it is just a county town and not as good as a prefectural city. But in terms of scale and prosperity, it is actually much better than many low-key secondary prefectural cities in the interior.

Moreover, it is close to the coast and is also a port. It is already like Jingle City more than thirty years later. The impact of Western culture can be seen everywhere, and all kinds of originally cheap foreign goods are flooding the high-end market.

In particular, foreign cloth and various industrial decorations produced by industrial chemicals were originally super cheap junk goods in foreign countries, but here they have become top-notch products comparable to silk.

Under such extreme trade differences, countless amounts of silver and gold were exchanged for boatloads of polyester chemical cloth, which shows the weakness and backwardness of Daxia in this era.

The yellow-skinned monkey, the shameful label of the sick man of East Asia (harmony), was labeled bit by bit in this era, and gradually became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

It is China’s unforgettable history that lasted for hundreds of years, and it is also a shame and lesson that every Chinese son and daughter must bear in mind.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten!

As a visitor from later generations, Zhang Buyi was more sensitive and emotional than the people living in this era.

Because he comes from an era when pride is regained, an era when the red flag is flying and getting brighter!

······

While walking and stopping along the way, Zhang Buyi could not help but feel a little emotional when looking at the coastal port cities today.

Especially when I see that every time foreigners in suits and leather shoes pass by on the street, and every Daxia people give way in fear, showing their humility, my emotion is particularly difficult to calm down.

"Chirp!"

In his arms, the little guy who was already very familiar with Zhang Buyi sensitively sensed Zhang Buyi's depression. It popped its head out of Zhang Buyi's skirt and called out twice.

It also used its soft fox head to gently rub Zhang Buyi's neck, as if trying to comfort Zhang Buyi and make him feel better.

Zhang Buyi reached out with a smile, hugged the other person's little head, and said: "Don't worry, little guy, I'm fine, I'm just a little emotional."

"Chirp!"

Hearing this, the little fox gently rubbed Zhang Buyi's neck with its snow-white fox head, and squinted its eyes, enjoying Zhang Buyi's touch.

After walking around half of the county town, Zhang Buyi stopped on a quite busy street.

"Are there any guests?" Looking at the rather novel name of the inn in front of him, Zhang Buyi was reminded of a hotel with such a weird name as "Youjian Hotel" in his previous life.

"That's it. Although it looks quite expensive, I am worried about having too much money and nowhere to spend it!" Zhang Buyi muttered to himself and walked into the inn.

"Sir, would you like to book a room or stay in a hotel?" As soon as Zhang Buyi entered the inn, the waiter came up and asked enthusiastically.

Zhang Buyi and the fox head on his neck looked at the surroundings curiously and replied: "Stay in the hotel!"

"Okay. Sir, please come here!" The waiter led Zhang Buyi towards the counter on the side, and asked: "Sir, what specifications of the room do you need? Our store has three sizes: heaven, earth and human.

The rooms are not fully occupied yet.”

Zhang Buyi replied with a smile: "What are the prices?"

"Tianzihao is worth one tael of silver a day, Dizihao is two hundred cents a day, and an ordinary room in a Shengzihao is ten cents a night." The waiter introduced enthusiastically.

One tael of silver for a day?

Good guy, it’s more expensive than his monthly salary as a police intern at Jinglegan!

It seems that there is a guest here. This Jiangshui Lane should be a high-end 'hotel', maybe a five-star inn of this era!

"Tianzihao!" Zhang Buyi replied while thinking.

"Okay, Sir, how many days will you stay?" the waiter asked.

At this time, the two of them had already arrived in front of the counter. The shopkeeper at the counter did not speak, but looked at the fox head emerging from Zhang Buyi's collar, his eyes flashing.

Zhang Buyi took out a ten-tael silver ingot and threw it on the counter. He said: "Keep it for now. If you don't have enough, you will make up for it when the time comes. If you leave early, leave it!"

"Okay!" As the storyteller answered, he quickly recorded something in the account book, then took out a house sign, walked out of the counter, and said to Zhang Buyi: "Young master, please come upstairs!"

Zhang Buyi nodded slightly and followed the shopkeeper upstairs.

The waiter who was suddenly left aside looked at Zhang Buyi's back curiously. He seemed to be just an ordinary scholar, not worthy of being received by the shopkeeper himself.

He shook his head, stopped exploring, went back on his own, and continued running the hall.

······

"This is your room, sir. If you need anything, or if you are not used to it, you can tell us. We can also change the style.

Because you came earlier, sir, and there haven't been many guests today, so many of the rooms in the Tianzi are not occupied yet. But in the evening, they can't be changed, and they are usually full." The shopkeeper opened the room and introduced it.

road.

Zhang Buyi walked into the room and was slightly stunned for a moment. The outside was a wooden building, but the decoration inside was very western-style. It had a feeling of Western-style decoration from the previous two thousand years.

The only thing that stands out is that there is no Simmons bed, but a Western-style carved wooden bed.

In addition, there is even a toilet with a separate toilet. For this era, it is really a very high-standard inn.

"Western style?" Zhang Buyi said in surprise.

"Yes!" The shopkeeper said with a smile, quite proudly: "This store specially invited overseas personnel to carefully build it. If you don't like it, you can also change it to the traditional style on the opposite side."

Zhang Buyi waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I really like it, let's just take this one!"

Following Zhang Buyi's words, the little fox jumped out of Zhang Buyi's collar and ran around the room.

"Don't break things, or I'll have to take you with me when the time comes!" Zhang Buyi warned with a smile as he watched this scene.

"Chirp!" The little fox made a move and called back angrily.

Zhang Buyi smiled and said nothing, but this humane gesture made the shopkeeper's eyes flicker again, and he smiled at Zhang Buyi even more warmly.

Spirit foxes, especially those with the best appearance and intelligence, have always had a very high status in Daxia, and are only available to high-ranking officials.

And in Jiangshui Lane, due to some special reasons, Zhang Buyi's status is even more noble with such a pet.

"If the young master is satisfied, then I won't disturb the young master anymore." The shopkeeper smiled and left as a courtesy.

Zhang Buyi said, "Shopkeeper, as the shopkeeper of Jiangshui Lane, are you familiar with Jiangshui City?"
