Chapter 554 Flower Planting Calendar 1589 (2)
Only when there was a loud "gurgling" sound in his belly did Zhu Chongba react:
Because of the No. 2 bus, he was delayed for too long. He was afraid that his wife and children were waiting for him to have dinner together, and they had already been waiting for a while.
For this reason, he did not hesitate and walked towards an alley with poorly lit street lights.
This is a shortcut home. Taking this route can save you at least seven or eight minutes.
The only problem is that there are some things in this alley that make him, a cultural person, disgusted and despised, so he usually avoids them intentionally.
Soon after, Zhu Zhong plunged into the alley.
Then, he did it for the first time.
I saw an old white man wearing a reflective vest, who must be a sanitation worker, rummaging through a large trash can with two dirty white children.
Every time I rummaged through, I found a plastic bottle, or a broken piece of the Monkey King doll from next door, or a half-worn toy car.
The two white children, who were eight or nine years old and had obviously never been to school, looked as happy as if they had discovered a treasure.
In their eyes, there was a little more innocence that they should have at their age.
The problem is, for a scene like this that should arouse some sympathy in the eyes of normal people, Zhu Chongba has no emotion in his heart, and even taking a second glance is in arrears.
Nothing else! Mainly because there are too many similar situations like this.
In a place like Australia, even just by Zhu Chongba's side, one encounters him several times every day, some of which are not surprising at the same time.
After seeing more, Zhu Chongba felt some sympathy in his heart, but he couldn't handle it.
If you really want to take care of it, it will cause some trouble.
Because more than 200 years ago, the expeditionary fleet of the Song Dynasty Navy used breech-loaded artillery that was like hellfire to white people, forcibly blasting open one port after another in Europe.
Let the kings and lords bow their heads respectfully and open the door to the country.
It also allowed the white natives to see how powerful, fertile and prosperous the Song Dynasty was, and they also imported many better and cheaper industrial products like a tide.
In the Europa region at that time, those small handicrafts and small agricultural economies that were still under the dual rule of small feudal lords and monasteries suffered a devastating blow in an instant.
Countless businessmen, craftsmen, and farmers went bankrupt.
These white people are mothers if they have breasts, but they are not like the Song people who always have the thought that it is difficult to leave their homeland.
From that time on, countless white people regarded the Song Dynasty as the legendary paradise on earth. It was a place where people wanted to go and the moon would be rounder.
In order to go to the Song Dynasty, they are the kind who will do whatever it takes.
Today, more than two hundred years have passed, but the situation is still similar.
The only change is that with the Song Dynasty's local management of entry and the crackdown on maritime smugglers, it has become increasingly strengthened and strict.
Therefore, many white people have turned their attention to these places, which are still much more prosperous than their hometowns.
Even in such a process, they need to endure considerable dangers on the road.
Even after arriving here, it is not easy to survive.
Men either suffered from various occupational diseases in black-hearted factories and mines, or they did some petty theft.
Those women basically use their natural capital to make a living.
Therefore, the old man wearing a reflective vest and his two children can be considered a relatively lucky group of white people living in Australia.
At least they have serious jobs and identities, and don't have to worry about being caught by people from the Immigration Department and then being sent back all at once...
In the following time, as Zhu Chongba walked deeper and deeper into the alley, things that made him feel a little uncomfortable and disgusted gradually appeared, and the number was quite alarming.
Specifically, it is under dim street lamps, telephone poles and some corner walls.
Even if it is because the temperature has dropped rapidly in the past two or three days, it is now almost reaching subzero.
But these white women, smeared with cheap cosmetics and wearing cheap perfume that stings their bodies, are only wearing bellybands that are one size too small.
Add some thin synthetic undershirts and high heels with at least ten centimeters of heel.
In short, the one with his bare thighs exposed was very fierce and looked like he was smiling without saying a word when he looked over.
Every time Zhu Chongba saw it, he felt a little disgusted in his heart; even if he passed by here, he would walk as fast as he could.
It's just that today's situation is a little different.
While he was walking, a woman suddenly jumped out from the roadside, hugged Zhu Chongba's arm, and used her abundant capital to clamp his arm.
He spoke in a difficult but understandable Song Dynasty Mandarin, with an obvious feeling of being hungry and cold:
.
"This high-ranking official was a baroness in Bavaria before me; that is to say, my family fell into decline and I had to quit my humble career.
Tonight, as long as the official spends a blue imperial concubine, you can be happy for an hour; if you spend a green imperial concubine, you can be happy for an entire night.
If you have a red imperial concubine, open a room with air conditioning and hot water, and order a pig's trotter rice for me, you don't have to treat me like a human being~"
By the way! The white woman who calls herself the Baroness talks about the so-called concubines of various colors.
In fact, it is different prices for various services.
Since before 176, the Royal Bank of the Song Dynasty has considered that under the current situation, it has been very inconvenient to continue to use original currencies such as gold, silver and copper coins in terms of circulation and transactions.
According to the Song Dynasty official and the national treasury, there is a total of 150,000 taels of gold in stock as a credit endorsement.
The ‘Song Dynasty Gold Banknote’, a new currency, was officially launched.
Because the Royal Bank of the Song Dynasty promises that no matter where they are on the planet, as long as there is a branch of their business, one hundred yuan of Song Dynasty banknotes can be exchanged for one gram of gold anytime and anywhere.
Only about ten years have passed since it was launched.
Let the Song Dynasty Baochao become the universal currency of such a planet.
Nowadays, the Song Dynasty banknotes have been issued in the fifth version. It can be said that each version is more beautiful and refined than the previous version.
But no matter how it changes, the portrait on the banknotes and coins will always be that of the legendary concubine and husband.
The same is true for small-denomination coins that only appeared in the third edition.
Why? Because the first legendary head of the Commercial Department of the Song Dynasty has been regarded by everyone as a figure like the God of Wealth.
It feels like in the modern world, in the island country, for a long time, the face on the 10,000-yen bill has always been Yukichi Fukuzawa.
And the figure on the American Knife is always Franklin.
Based on all the above, in today's commonly used saying, a blue imperial concubine represents ten dollars.
A green imperial concubine is worth fifty yuan, and a red imperial concubine is worth one hundred yuan; and one hundred yuan is also the largest face value among the Song Dynasty banknotes.
Anyway, over the years, this legendary woman, the Imperial Concubine, has become the most familiar woman among everyone on this planet, regardless of skin color, gender, or age.
You're kidding! You can see it every day when you take out your wallet. If you don't know this girl's face, that's no good, right?
In addition, if we talk about the second most familiar women, then they should be Zhan Xiang and A Li; note, they are tied for second place, in no particular order.
Because nowadays, wherever there are people from the Song Dynasty, there is basically a Guoshi Temple.
On the altar in the temple, three people, namely Fengrui, Zhan Xiang and Ali, were sitting in the middle.
On both sides are the constellations of Hu Biao and the twenty-eight Heavenly Gang and Earthly Demons; after watching them for a long time, everyone is naturally quite familiar with them...
After hearing what the baroness said, Zhu Chongba quickly took out his arm and left here quickly.
Such a reaction is not because he is reluctant to part with such a red imperial concubine.
Or maybe he has reached middle age and no longer likes this tune.
The fundamental reason is that he, Zhu Chongba, was a cultural man and a dignified newspaper editor.
How could he have lost his identity and something happened with these white women? If he was seen and spread, would he still have face?
You know, those old bachelors from the Song Dynasty who couldn't marry a woman from the Song Dynasty.
When looking for a foreign wife, the first choice is to look for Silla maids, Japanese women, Annan brides, etc. Only when it is really impossible, will they consider marrying such a barbaric white woman.
Some people may say, is it still the same if the lights are turned off? Or even if the quantity is increased, the price will not be increased.
The key reason is that under the current mainstream environment of the Song Dynasty, for those children with yellow hair, blue eyes, or other obvious alien characteristics.
Whether in school or work, you will be obviously inferior to others.
And these white women act as prostitutes, because their class is so low that they can't even get into the house.
Even if the price is only a little higher than those charcoal-like Kunlun girls, only those rude lower-class Song men will find fun with these women after eating and drinking.
A true gentleman of the Song Dynasty would not have anything to do with these white women.
Based on the above reasons, Zhu Chongba quickly walked out of the alley and walked towards the Song residential area, which was guarded by security guards and inaccessible to other people.
But God knows, for what purpose?
On the way home, the greasy middle-aged man always remembered unconsciously,
To be continued...
