Chapter 394
Chapter 394 Yellow Belt
Luo Tianyun voted for the 14th Master in one sentence, and the news that he won the 500-two prize was soon spread in the capital. The heavy reward for the two issues of the honeycomb coal stove once again caused heated discussion.
Countless people's eyes were red with jealousy and enviousness of Luo Tianyun. Five hundred taels, and a word would cost 500 taels of white silver! This money was too easy to earn. The latest search updates are all available.
Luo Tianyun felt light and fluttering. He had a ninth-rank craftsman's salary for a year was only 31 taels of silver and 15 s of rice. The price of the capital was high, and it could only solve the family's food and clothing. Unexpectedly, he received a reward of 500 taels. For him, it was tantamount to his fortune.
He has been smart since he was a child, but he prefers mixed studies. After becoming a scholar, he has no intention of being a bachelor's essay. Because of his poor family, he entered the gunpowder workshop with his proficiency in gunpowder. Today, he saw that the firepower of honeycomb coal is much greater than that of coal balls, and suddenly he had a whim. Gunpowder is also a particle. If it can be made into honeycomb coal, can it also enhance its power?
This thought was like crazy and circling in his mind, but he couldn't do anything and could do anything. The gunpowder workshop in the capital was too strict and it was impossible to allow him to make such dangerous attempts. If there was any accident, no one could escape. He had long heard that the Fourteenth Master was given high treatment in the gunpowder workshop in Jiangnan and encouraged various improvement experiments, so he went to see him with the idea of trying it out.
Unexpectedly, just one sentence, the Fourteenth Master highly praised him. Not only did he recruit him to Jiangnan, but he also rewarded 500 taels of silver. Until he received the silver notes, he was still like a dream. He couldn't believe that all this was true. He exchanged the silver account for twenty taels of cash, and he felt at ease.
He was in a particularly good mood when he passed by the "Da Mingzhai". He bought a large bag of pastries without hesitation. After passing the "Qiyuanju", he packed another two kilograms of donkey meat, and then generously cut five kilograms of beef. As the end of the year approaches, he is reluctant to eat these things on weekdays. Now that he has money, he naturally has to buy them home to relieve the slander of the children.
Luo Tianyun had a large bag of pastries and donkey meat with her left hand, a large piece of beef in her right hand, and a stack of silver notes in her arms, walking on the street with a smile on her face, feeling a sense of joy and joy all over her body, and her steps were particularly light.
Suddenly, a vicious dog was strung out from somewhere, and silently pounced on it. He bit the beef on his right hand in one bite, and then ran forward quickly. Luo Tianyun was caught off guard and was thin again. He was immediately taken to the ground. Not only was the beef taken away by the dog, but the pastries and donkey meat were spilled all over the floor, the hat was also dropped, and the robe was dirty.
When he got up in a mess, there was a burst of laughter from behind him. When he looked back in shame, he saw several evil slaves surrounding a young man in his twenties. A group of people were laughing and leaning back and forth. At a glance, he saw that the young man had a golden belt tied around his waist. Luo Tianyun quickly turned his head to one side.
People living in Sijiu City, whether you are a commoner, a gentry, a merchant or an ordinary official, have the most basic common sense, which is something you must know. When you encounter a yellow belt, it is best to walk around quickly, otherwise you will probably not be able to take advantage of it.
The yellow belt is a nickname for the royal family by the people in the capital. It is because the royal family members under the princes and under all wore golden belts. When they first entered the pass, there were only a few hundred people. After more than 70 years of the Shunzhi and Kangxi dynasties, the yellow belts in the capital had already reached thousands of people.
The titles of the royal family were reduced, and they were usually inherited by the eldest son. The rest naturally had to earn fame and fortune by themselves. Because of the comfortable life and the wealth of the family, most of the yellow-belts were unwilling to endure hardships, so they became idle people. The so-called idle royal family refers to them.
These are extremely noble, rich and powerful, and are idle all day long and have fun all day long. They are so idle that they are so idle that they are looking for fun all day long, mingling in theaters, teahouses, and restaurants, or just having fun all over the city. They bring a bunch of servants like wolves and tigers, holding dogs and eagles, shouting and rushing on the streets, causing trouble everywhere, and causing trouble. In the capital, they are famous for hating dogs.
However, the court relied heavily on these yellow belts and regarded them as the four pillars of the Qing Dynasty. They not only enjoyed a variety of political privileges and generous treatment, but also had judicial privileges. The yellow belts were all managed by the clan's office. If the crime of yellow belts could be punished, and if the crime of whipping and cane could be fined, money and food; if the crime of shackles could be punished, it could be punished in a circle, and if the crime of empty houses was charged for three or two and a half years for the first time, it would be charged in a circle for one year.
In a word, killing people with yellow belts is not worth their lives. If they violate the law, they can only be handed over to the yamen of the royal family, the sect's office,
So, the yellow belt came out and had a catchphrase, "Tell you, hide, I haven't killed anyone for several days!"
When Luo Tianyun saw that he met the yellow belt, he could only sigh in disgrace. He bent down to clean up the snacks and donkey meat on the ground. When Luo Tianyun ignored him, the laughing yellow belts on the side suddenly felt boring. He immediately blew a long whistle and called his beloved dog back.
Seeing this situation, Luo Tianyun naturally understood that the evil dog was deliberately ordered by the yellow belt to steal the meat. He couldn't help but feel resentful and glanced at the group of Shuangqi with a cold glance.
Shuangqi and the group of people were about to kick three times when they saw Shi Tou. When they saw Luo Tianyun's eyes, they immediately became excited. A servant smirked and said, "Master, that bastard dared not look at you directly."
"Let's go, look, I want to see where such a cluttered glaze ball popped out." Shuangqi raised his chin slightly and gave in careless instructions, and while speaking, he surrounded the servants.
Luo Tianyun couldn't help but complain when he saw this situation. He looked around and saw that there were two soldiers from the infantry commanding the yamen not far from the street. He didn't care about the pastry and ran towards the two soldiers.
When he saw Lezi running away, Erqi was willing to do it, and immediately scolded: "Mali, hurry up and chase after me." As he said that, he ordered: "Three donkeys, let go of the dog."
But San Luzi had some strength in his eyes and hesitated: "Master, that Lezi may be a scholar."
"A sour scholar scares you so much?" Erqi cursed with a smile: "Let the dog go, and I will carry everything."
What are you doing? Last time I let the dog bite a minor official, it was my family law for you. If this fun is the student of the Imperial College, it is okay to beat him down. If the dog bite is released, the disaster will be a big deal. Sanduzi felt very distressed. After this hesitation, two servants had already rushed up. Sanduzi then laughed and said, "Catch it, master."
Erqi looked up and saw that he had indeed caught it. He couldn't help but kick Sanfuzi with a smile, and scolded, "Look at your virtue, let's get your bird cage tomorrow."
