Chapter 1323： Looking at the world outside (1)
Not only is the little leopard unfriendly to foreigners, but the jewels are all disgusted.
Mu Yangling was even more curious.
Dragon and phoenix fetuses were born in Guangzhou. It is not uncommon for foreigners. Although they were young at the time, they could not remember it, but because of the development of the sea trade in Daqi, there were also many Westerners in the capital.
When the dragon and phoenix ran to Qianmen Street to play, they occasionally encountered foreigners, and the two children were most curious about why they looked different from them, their food customs, etc. They never looked down on each other because they were not of our race. .
And this time they came to Guangzhou for only seven or eight days, but the two children suddenly changed their attitude.
Little Leopard said confidently: "Mother, if you go to Xiyangfang's inner street, you won't like them."
Baozhu said with a disgusting expression: "Yes, yes, they are so dirty, I will never go to Xiyangfang again."
Humans like to get together with the same kind. Just like there were always Chinatowns in foreign countries in previous lives, Westerners also have Xiyangfang in Daqi, where foreigners gather in groups.
In the beginning, there were not many foreigners in Guangzhou, and their residences were mainly located near the chambers of commerce. However, in the past ten years, maritime trade has developed rapidly. Many Westerners like to come to Daqi to do business. The number has increased sharply, but very few can speak Chinese. .
It is not easy to live in a foreign country. Although these foreigners are not from the same country, they are from the same part of Europe. Maybe their country is still at war, but outside they belong to the same race, so they also live together in a group.
As a result, the two streets behind the Chamber of Commerce were gradually bought or rented by Westerners. Because all the people who came and went there were Westerners, they were called Xiyangfang.
There are many western objects and gems sold by sailors and westerners who came with the boat. Qi people like to go there to shop for treasures.
Little Leopard and Baozhu, who had just arrived in Guangzhou, heard that there were treasures in them, so they left and ran away to join in the fun.
Walking from Fangshi to their residential area, I saw feces, urine stains, little leopards and pearls almost spit out in the streets.
The most unacceptable thing for the two children is that a 15- or 16-year-old foreign boy took off his pants and squatted down to pee in the street. He kept complaining in his heart that the two children were shocked that foreigners didn't care about their own children.
Because of this surprise, they didn't leave immediately, so they saw more.
The foreigners on this street, whether adults or children, men or women, are in a hurry to defecate anywhere.
The little leopard immediately shouted: "This, this is simply insulting, no, no, don't they have any shame? The key is that they don't feel stinky?"
They don't know whether Baozhu stinks or not. Anyway, Baozhu is about to be disgusted to death. She didn't want to stay for a quarter of an hour, so she took her brother's hand and ran out.
The two children went to the yamen to file a complaint, asking the county yamen to rectify the streets. How could such a thing happen in their Guangzhou city?
There was no need for the county magistrate to act on this matter, and the county wardens stopped the two children and said, "Okay, alright, we know about this, you hurry up and go home, and don't go to Xiyangfang if you have nothing to do. , be careful they take you aboard and take you away."
The yamen did not know the identities of the two children, but seeing that they had guards behind them and that they were well dressed, they thought it was the young lady who came to Xiyangfang out of curiosity, so they dismissed them perfunctorily.
The little leopard was immediately angry and scolded: "You just eat and don't work, do you allow the foreigners to make our streets so dirty?"
The yamen immediately shouted injustice: "Young master has misunderstood us, who said we don't care, but it still works. Over the years, we have raided Xiyangfang two or three times every month, and after the inspection, it will be cleaned for two days, and it will still be like this after that. , we only have so many people, so we can't keep staring at that street all the time to prevent foreigners from urinating and urinating everywhere, right?"
Speaking of this, the yamen officers were also very helpless, saying: "Foreigners love to defecate everywhere, what can we do? For this matter, our county magistrate also printed and distributed hundreds of copies of "The Analects of Confucius" and "Book of Rites" to give to foreigners Now, but they can't even speak Daqi, let alone literacy and reading, rigid rules are useless, the county magistrate can't punish them with money, so the adults of the Lifanyuan and the Censor should find a ** **coming."
"Yes, yes, those hundreds of books were blinded, and they were used for the finances of our county government."
Little Leopard and Baozhu asked in shock: "Why do they have such a hobby?"
The yamen saw the shocked appearance of these two children and knew that the disgust they had just seen had made them sick. The first time they saw the entire street covered with urine and urination, they were also disgusted.
The yamen officers started to talk, and they said: "What's the matter? In our Guangzhou city, there is only one street like this. According to Westerners, they are like this in the whole country. It's really not surprising."
The little leopard asked in silence for a while, "Isn't there a public toilet in the city?"
"Yes, but they just don't like going to public toilets." The yamen officers were also very distressed when they said this.
These yamen servants have all been guides to Westerners. They have been taught that they can go to the public toilet if they are in a hurry.
It was only at this time that the yamen began to miss the carriage and horse tax of the previous dynasty and its extension of fines.
In Dazhou, a vehicle and a horse must pay a horse tax when they enter the city on the road, which includes not only the cost of using the road for vehicles and horses, but also the cleaning cost of horses and animals on the road.
In the previous dynasties, Emperor Xiaozong began to levy fine donations. Anyone who had livestock, people had to pay fine donations anywhere in the city. People paid it back, but it was controllable, but livestock was uncontrollable. Therefore, most of the previous dynasties entrusted cattle and horses at the gate of the city. After the establishment of this dynasty, all such taxes were included in the ranks of harsh and miscellaneous taxes, not only the fines and taxes were cancelled, but also the tax on vehicles and horses.
The yamen said: "If it is levied according to the taxes of the previous dynasty, no matter how big the problems of these Westerners can be corrected."
Baozhu said with bulging cheeks: "Isn't there any way to correct their behavior? Their dirty streets are also my streets."
The yamen said indifferently: "I guess it will be changed when the Westerners also have a saint."
Seeing that the two young masters were still wandering angrily and unwilling to leave, the guards hurried forward and whispered to persuade: "Not all foreigners are like this. After all, the young master and the young lady saw only a few, so let's go back and discuss with the master first. , Master and the businessman have a good relationship, maybe there is a way?"
Little Leopard and Baozhu angrily went back to find their father.
Qi Haoran widened his eyes and said, "Why do you care about these details?"
In his opinion, it is enough for the two countries to cooperate with each other based on their interests. They are not stuck in the big world, and there is no need to interfere with their living habits.
But Baozhu insisted: "They will teach other children badly. If Daqi's children learn from them and cannot change this bad habit when they grow up and pass it on from generation to generation, wouldn't Guangzhou become a stinky city? "
"And other cities will also be affected by Guangzhou. At that time, one person will affect one person, and one city will affect another city. In the end, we will become a stinky country. What should we do?" The little leopard looked at his father eagerly and said. : "Daddy, you must find a way to get them to break this bad habit."
Qi Haoran raised his forehead with a headache and said, "Father really doesn't have a good way, why don't you think about it. If there is a good way to tell me, I'll ask someone to do it."
Mu Yangling was even more curious.
