Accounting office:
Escort agencies are martial arts practitioners, and their culture is not necessarily high, but this bookkeeper must be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He was once called "Mr. Arts and Sciences", which is equivalent to the present university literature. Here, you can look at this abacus. Its bottom was blocked with a piece of wood, indicating that the shopkeeper at that time wanted this person to be confident and watertight. At that time, bookkeepers were based on the tradition of China. "Four-column inventory" means that the old management adds new income, and dismissal equals reality. The old tube refers to the figures at the end of last month; New income refers to the amount of income this month; Expulsion refers to the amount of expenditure this month; It really means the balance of this month. Please look at these two dart boxes. This is the earliest and that is the heaviest. It is made of elm wood and weighs more than 100 kg. You can try to uncover it. Its lock uses the original hidden lock, which plays an anti-theft role. Only two keys side by side can be opened. The big shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper are in charge respectively, which plays the role of mutual supervision. At that time, a large ingot of silver was equal to 50 taels, equivalent to three catties and six taels now, and about 1800 grams was equivalent to about 3600 yuan. Just like copper coins used by ordinary people, 100 pieces can be exchanged for 1 two pieces of silver. This escort agency opened on 1849 and closed on 19 13, 64 years ago. Wang Zhengqing is from Nanliangzhuang, Pingyao. /kloc-when he was 0/6 years old, he stuck his face in a noodle restaurant in Beijing because of his poor family. He is known as the "noodle king" and takes Jing Mao "Liu Liu" as his teacher. His understanding was highlighted and introduced to Daoguang. According to later records, Wang Zhengqing and the abbot of Shaolin Temple in Henan learned from each other and were won by Zhengqing. The abbot wanted to be a teacher, and he was clearing the way: "Master is a direct disciple of Shaolin Sect, and Shaolin Boxing is famous all over the world. If the master worships me as a teacher, I will never dare to be friends. " From then on, the two became best friends, and Master Hou Haichuan built a monument for Zhengqing in Shaolin Temple, praising its virtue and artistry.
Following in his father's footsteps, shine on you is better than Blue. Because of resentment, Wang Zhengqing didn't let his son touch the edge of martial arts, but he didn't like reading, only liked to dance with knives and guns. He has potential, but he lacks patience and doesn't want to make progress. Wang Zhengqing is worried about this. He met his brother Huan Li on the road, so he found a way to inspire Wang Shumao. At the temple fair of Chenghuang Temple, in full view, he made a fool of himself and inspired him to make progress. And the only personal dart he saved was to escort Empress Dowager Cixi to the Western Ocean. Please look at this bed. It is unique in China. Mainly look at the yellow above is not gold powder, but pure gold (gold plating). Moreover, it has a very nice name called "Peony Wooden Bed in Phoenix Opera in Qing Dynasty" and "Peony in Phoenix Opera", which represents good luck, and the framed bed is one of its advantages. How did it get in with such a small door and such a big bed? When used, it can be put together, and when not used, it can be broken into small pieces, which is equivalent to the current combination furniture. And this is the time of the underground vault, leading to the backyard, located in front of the bed, meaning carefree. Now let's go out and see the main means of transportation at that time-the dart car.
At that time, Dart was divided into two roads, one by waterway and the other by Korea. Shanxi belongs to the Loess Plateau, with a large number of narrow paths. It's easier to push with this unicycle, because it has only one wheel, and the balance force is difficult to master. At that time, it was always a secret when pushing. "If you want to jump into the car, you have to twist your ass." That is to say, you must squat in a standing position, kick your ass, and move forward with a swing. If you are interested, you can try to push it. The indispensable things of the escort agency are the escort car, the escort box and the escort flag. The name of the escort is written on the flag of the escort agency, which means that you will definitely meet some robbers on your way to the guards. If you are an expert escort, famous escorts generally dare not rob, so look at the surname on the escort agency flag before robbing, and it will become the escort agency's code name over time. And if you look at it, the background color is yellow, indicating that Shanxi is located in the Loess Plateau. The word is red, indicating the hope that the escort agency will have a prosperous business. Surrounded by blue, the water is blue, indicating that the financial resources are rolling. And our name "Tongxing Palace" also has a certain meaning. "Tongxing" and "Concentric" mainly have three meanings: (1) insiders unite as one; (2) Concentric with customers; (3) Concentric with bureaucrats. "Xing" means prosperity after a successful career. "Co-operation" is a business shared by all. We'll go this way again. You see, this is the smoking room at that time. It's not surprising that you saw the smoking room at the ticket number, but the escort agency will be surprised. At that time, the headline of the escort agency stipulated that smoking was not allowed, and this place was a place to attract business. You see, at that time, business was all about means. Perhaps this method has continued to this day. Saying "it's easy to do things without harming others" is the same as treating people to dinner and sending cigarettes and wine now. You see, here is a bronze birthday screen, which was selected by Hou Dianxuan, the third-generation shopkeeper of Rishengchang, the earliest bank in that year, and was given to the escort Wang Zhengqing as a nephew on his 70th birthday. Please look at these two "Duiling Flower Embroidery" paintings again. They are made of cotton and exquisite in workmanship, so they look particularly three-dimensional, which means flowers are like flowers. Look at the two beauty frames on the opposite wall. Can you try to find out where their feet are? For example, the one on the right is easy to find, the red place that is manually moved, and the one on the left is next to the box in the lower left corner. At that time, women did not judge a book by its cover, but paid attention to "three inches of golden lotus, four inches of silver lotus and five inches of copper lotus", and their feet were over six inches, which is our current size of 35. It was impossible for them to get married at that time, and it was not just for decoration.
You see, there is a jar here, which is used to put out fires now. It used to be placed in the middle of the yard. "There is a sea in front of the door, and you get rich every day." Put some fish in, which means "there are fish every year."
This room is where the boys work the night shift. As the saying goes, "there are rules at home and rules at the door." Light green banners like this were the rules set by the Wang family at that time. It warns disciples not to bully the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, women and children, even those who can't do martial arts. But if someone dares to grab the dart on the way, "whoever takes my dart, don't show mercy." All right, look outside again.
When I came out, I looked up at the two plaques hanging on the eaves. Please have a look. The yellow and blue inlaid plaque on the top is a plaque given by Cixi to the second-generation shopkeeper Wang Shumao. You can pay attention to its structure. Generally speaking, the dragon is the son of heaven, and the high dragon means that Cixi was in power at that time and dominated the sky, with four words written on it. But at that time, Cixi was a vertical plaque of Manchu, the most taboo word of Manchu, and the oblique sound of four was a dead word, which was unlucky, so the word "feng" was written aside. And you see it misspelled the word "purport" and the word "statement". The misspelled words are particularly interesting. It's a dagger with a dagger on it and a "day" on the bottom, and she wrote "day", which shows that her status and status are much higher than Sun's, and the reason for misspelling is that Cixi is Manchu, and Manchu must write Chinese when going to Han nationality. She thought it was demeaning. Look, there is a horizontal plaque "Celebrating the Flower Season" below. This plaque was a birthday gift from the merchant bank to the person who escorted the Queen Mother on her 60th birthday. Celebration means celebration, and Yan means reproduction and longevity. Flower age is 60 flowers. The small print below is the name of China Merchants Bank. There are more than fifty * *.
The main hall was used to receive some customers with big business at that time, which is equivalent to the VIP room now. You should mainly look at this chair in the middle. Ordinary ladies can't sit because it has armrests on both sides. At that time, women could only sit in the chair in the corner like this, and ordinary men could not sit. It was once called "charming chair" by Jianghu people, and only Jianghu bosses can sit on it. For example, there is a painting and a couplet hanging at the back, which is dedicated to Guan Gong. Generally, people who practice martial arts pay attention to the word loyalty and righteousness. This couplet says, "Once the escort agency has gone far, the rivers and lakes have returned safely for half a year." This is easy to understand. It was not easy to escort at that time, and I didn't come back for half a year. In the first half, "Ha Wu" is a noun. When escorting, you need to shout a dart and one for publicity. At that time, there was an unwritten rule in the rivers and lakes that "the dart doesn't shout". Wang Zhengqing passed by Cangzhou, Hebei Province on the way to the dart. A young man didn't know the rules of Jianghu and shouted a dart, which triggered a Wulin dispute. After Wang Zhengqing's great victory, the story of "the dart doesn't shout the sky" was handed down. Okay, let's take a look at this gun. This gun is a genuine one used by the escort Wang Zhengqing. You see, poles like ours are all made of Bai La poles and ash wood, and they are also made of rattan wrapped in bamboo skin and linen. You can try shaking it. It has excellent rubbing toughness. The best marksmanship used by the escort was Phoenix Three Nods. You can look at this table again. At that time, this table was the most important heating facility in our family in winter. Please look at the decorations on this altar again. It has a clock, a bottle and a mirror. Homophonic, meaning "lifelong peace". All right, this way upstairs.
Upstairs turned out to be a secret room, and you can only come up when you practice internal skills, which is the place for meditation. Here, the apprentice of the second-generation shopkeeper, the escort of our escort agency, Liang is not tall and thin, but he is good at gossip. On the way to darts, many people judge people by their appearances and beat men. At that time, the slang of Jianghu, Spring Point, was equivalent to the current jargon and could only be understood from street to street. For example, walking on the rivers and lakes, people will inevitably ask, what do you do? If you are a bodyguard, never say "I rely on hard work", which will cause trouble. According to Jianghu rules, the answer is "I rely on four famous mountains". What are the "Four Famous Mountains"? Friends are coming, and there are Jinshan Yinshan. I think friends are as heavy as Mount Tai, and friends meet like Liangshan. Opposite is Wang Zhengqing's own set of boxing, Tongbi Boxing, which is just a copy. Originally collected in the hands of future generations. You see, the first generation of our escort agency is Wang Zhengqing, the second generation is Wang Shumao, the third generation is Wang Zhi, the third generation is three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, the first and second generations are portraits, and the third generation is photos.
This is the Buddhist temple at that time, dedicated to Sakyamuni. As the saying goes, "worship the Buddha before going out", and the escort agency must worship before each escort to ensure safety. If you believe in Buddhism, you can worship. Ok, let's look at the practice field again.
This is a place to practice martial arts, and this groove is used to practice arm strength. Pull this food ball back with both hands. This is Tai Chi Yin and Yang gossip, and the iron lock weighs 50 Jin. In those days, the escort had to lift his head 100 times a day. This is a seven-star plum blossom pile, which is mainly used to practice squatting and flying skills according to the setting of the Big Dipper in the sky. After training to a certain extent, it will increase to 749, and one person is tall and uneven.
There are three main reasons for the closure of Tongxinggong Escort Agency: 1, the opening of some roads and railways, the appearance of foreign guns and guns, and the uselessness of escort agency vehicles and 18 weapons; 2, the cost is particularly high, it is not cost-effective to take a mile to collect one or two pieces of silver; 3. Extremely dangerous. If you lose a dart for someone else on the way to the bodyguard, you must pay double compensation.
