Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2485 Wine and Dance

The sky gradually darkened.

In the countryside, ordinary people usually wash up early and go to rest in tile-roofed houses or sheds.After all, for these big Han ordinary people, lamp oil is a luxury, and they can only be used when they have to. In normal times, they can still save a little.

The people who can rest in the sheds and tile houses are relatively happy, because in the wild, some people still have to shake in the dark.

These people are the new Han refugees.

Originally, there were no refugees in the area of ​​Yuzhou, which was relatively stable, but after this celebration, many refugees came out for no reason...

These refugees have been wandering in the wilderness for several days. At first, some of them were crying, but now many people have no strength to cry, and just subconsciously rummaged through the fields and forests for various edible things. Those who couldn't walk could only hug each other and shiver.

No one welcomes refugees, including ordinary people, so these refugees cannot go to towns and villages to rest at all, and they will be driven out even if they stay for a short time.

The sudden celebration before seemed to have become a joke.

The celebration did not bring much joy to the people in Yuzhou, but it meant an extra burden, and this burden crushed many grassroots people...

In the darkness, howling faintly.

However, in Yingyin County, on top of the largest restaurant on the cross street, there is a piece of light, playing music happily.

Outside the windows around the restaurant, there are not only huge wind lamps hanging, but also candle mountains scattered in the interior, and the candles like children's arms illuminate the interior of the restaurant with brilliance.

Such a candle is equivalent to a year's lamp oil money for ordinary people.

In the restaurant, there is naturally a banquet.

Luxurious feast.

In addition to the gluttonous food, there is a group of well-dressed and well-dressed people.

The brocade robe is shining, and the jade Zhang is gorgeous.

Those who are slightly less well-dressed feel that their faces are dull and dare not move forward.

The children of the gentry in Yingchuan also have the dressing standards for the children of the gentry.

First of all, the hat needs to be made of silk, and it still needs to be a time-honored brand of the Zhang family. No matter how similar the creases and colors of other hats are, they will not work.

Secondly, clothes must be custom-made. The tailor must come to the door with a ruler and a cloth sample, and tailor it according to each person's body shape. It is not acceptable to buy casually like street shops.

The decorations to be used again must have a background. For example, Hetian jade must be white, and variegated colors are used only when poor families settle. No way.

Another example is the lacquer box, which must be made of gold and silver, the wine bottle, which must be decorated with patterns, and even the mat under the buttocks must be finely ivory...

Pay attention.

fine.

It is best for every utensil to have something to say, otherwise it is not worthy of such a noble status.

A crescent moon hangs obliquely in front of the window, and the hall is full of delicacies and laughter.

The beauties in the hall shuttle like butterflies, and the scholars with Bo crowns have boundless romance.

In the past two days, ordinary people in Yingyin County have been in great pain.

The reason for the suffering of the people was, of course, the grand celebration before.

In order to hold the celebration in Xu County, material support from surrounding counties is naturally needed.As for a long-term farming society with a small-scale peasant economy and a social structure dominated by manor production, the vast majority of ordinary people do not have much reserves. Once emergencies occur, they are often caught off guard.

But the people in the restaurant are very happy.

In the market square, there were no pedestrians on the street, and the gate of the square was closed early.

The night is quiet, only the hustle and bustle and joy above the restaurant.

It's really fun.

How could the finely crafted items in the banquet, the dishes cooked with all my heart, and the wholehearted service of Maggie make the upper class people here unhappy?Thinking about how much money I collected and how much windfall I made in the past few days, how can I not be in a good mood?

Among this group of joyful brocade-robed people, there are two people who are obviously admired by the rest of the people and enshrined high above them. One is Yingyin county magistrate Zhong Hong, and the other is local rich man Guo Feng. .

Zhong Hong has a fair face, a square face, cornered eyebrows, and a black mole on it, and a long beard on his chin that hangs down to his chest. When he is serious, he has a bit of dignity, but when he smiles, he has a triangular shape. As soon as the eyes are relaxed, it is somewhat wretched.

Guo Feng is shorter and fatter, and his skin is darker than Zhong Hong's. He has two slender mouse beards, and he moves from side to side when he speaks.

"Xianzun, come here, please look at this dish..." Guo Feng courteously introduced the newly served dish to Zhong Hong, "This fish was just fished out of the lake, and it will be delivered right away!"When it gets here, it's still alive!Absolutely fresh! 』

"Oh? 』Zong Hong raised his eyebrows slightly, and reached out to pick up the white jade chopsticks.He didn't care at all why Guo Feng was still able to deliver fish directly from express horses when the whole city was under curfew.

Zhong Hong picked a bit of meat from the fish's face and put it in his mouth, tasted it for a while, then nodded and said, "Yeah.good. 』

Guo Feng laughed so hard that his beard trembled again, "Since the county lord agreed, let's come up with some more!" 』

Zhong Hong waved his hands, but put down his chopsticks, and said slowly: "A gentleman can't eat enough to satisfy himself."After we are sages, we should follow the way of sages, no need, may as well share it with you...』

Guo Feng's beard trembled, "It's really our luck that the county magistrate is so self-denying and lenient!" 』

There was a echoing voice from below, "Exactly!"We are so lucky! 』

Those present here are basically officials and gentry in Yingyin County.

Since he is an official and a squire, of course he does not lack such a fish to eat.As long as they want to eat something, there will naturally be a lot of people sending it to their door.

But since it is a huge "reward" now, of course everyone will hold it next, and also show a gesture of gratitude, constantly throwing out free flattery, for fear that after a while it will be He was snatched by others to speak first, which made him fall into an embarrassing situation with nothing to say.

After all, as the parent officer of Yingyin County, Chong Hong may not be able to remember who those flatterers are, but he can definitely remember who those who did not give gifts and did not flatter.

Today Guo Feng specially brought a group of squires to invite Yingyin officials to a banquet, Zhong Hong was not surprised.

Are the government and the people in harmony, and are they happy with the people? For Chong Hong, this is naturally in line with the "true meaning" of Confucianism.

Even though it's been a long time since the curfew.

The entire Yingyin is Zhonghong's home field, and accompanied by a powerful local family like Guo Feng, it can be said that it is the bright moon and stars in the sky, as long as they want, they can take them all!
"Zhongxin..." Chong Hong called out, as if calling his own dog, "These few days, but we need to control it... There are more and more refugees outside the city, so if we don't make good arrangements, when the time comes When something goes wrong, it’s not just a matter of losing face...』

Chong Hong narrowed his eyes slightly and stroked his beard, "I promised you in front of Xun Lingjun that everything in Yingyin is safe and sound, the market is normal, and the people live in peace..."

"This..." Guo Feng shook his beard, "I understand this, understand!Some untouchables are lazy and greedy, they don't listen to orders, and they hinder the honor of the county lord. It's really not a pity to die! 』

"The land here is rich and beautiful, but it's spacious and livable, but it's not far from Xu County, so it's inevitable that some people will wander around..." Chong Hong said slowly, "If these idlers are in Lingjun, or In the prime minister's place, spread some false rumors... When the time comes, the superiors will blame you, what face will you and I have? 』

Yingyin in Yingchuan is not far from Xu County, bounded by Yingshui.

Some time ago, in order to prepare for the "celebration" and to prevent ordinary people from "falsely claiming" to go out to farm and work, "undermining" the good social order, and "affecting" the overall situation of the celebration, an emergency order has been issued in Yingyin County, announcing that the entire county It has entered a state of emergency, and "no one" is allowed to leave, and a checkpoint has been set up at the intersection leading to Xu County, specifically to intercept and arrest these troublemakers.

"I know that Yingyin's safety today is all due to the county lord's strategy... If the county lord hadn't planned early to take advantage of the situation and eliminate the danger of recruitment, we might not be able to return home... The county lord has kindly protected me Wait, it's beyond words!The only way to do your best is to guard the countryside Jingping! 』Guo Feng patted his chest to assure, and made a salute to Zhong Hongshen to show his loyalty.

When the short and fat Guo Feng left the table to worship, he looked like a braised lion head rolling on the ground.

Chong Hong laughed, and also left the table, helped Guo Feng, and patted Guo Feng on the shoulder, "Zhongxin doesn't need to be too polite... No matter how big or small rural affairs are, you need to do your best, but there are also clever ways to deal with them... Well, there is no need to say more about such filthy things that disturb you, as long as you do your best...』

The two held hands and laughed, and everyone applauded together, but they didn't know why they applauded. Maybe it was because they were inexplicably moved by seeing a wonderful performance?
Zhong Hong didn't pay much attention to Guo Feng's loyalty. After all, he had been the county magistrate in Yingyin for a while, and his understanding of these powerful local families was also deepening.Don't look at the good-sounding and loyal appearance now, but if these guys really want to get some money out, it will be extremely difficult, as if it is killing them, and they even don't hesitate to fight against the government.

Today I laughed and invited a banquet to eat wine, but not only did I not let these people pay, but also made these people make money, so I have such a flattering attitude, otherwise...

Eating and drinking again for a while,
Chong Hong coughed, put down his wine glass, and looked around, "Everyone, the current state affairs are difficult, we guard the land for the emperor, so we should be diligent."A few days ago, I heard some rumors that being an official would make you rich, and that being an official would make you rich. This is really absurd!Heartbreaking words! 』

"lie!rumor!absurd!ridiculous! 』

"Here, once again, I would like to remind everyone to be clear-minded and benevolent. According to the words of the sages, don't be arrogant and self-indulgent!" 』

"There are many people like you, and you can't be immature for the emperor, so you can neglect and perfunctory, and refuse to give things with your heart. Zhong Hong looked at the surrounding squires, and said in a deep voice, "The emperor has something to say, and the people are the most important."Since you are squires, as the Son of Heaven intends, implement the law of compensation, investigate the sufferings of Baixin, and understand the difficulties of the people. If you know that there is a shortage of offerings to you, and poison the local area, even if the national law does not punish, I will not let this kind of person go. treacherous! 』

"Wait, do you know it? 』

When Zhong Hong put on a stern face, he really had a rather dignified attitude.

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help being taken aback, their expressions were different.

Some people were surprised, some were puzzled, and some were faintly dissatisfied, because almost everyone present knew that during this celebration, this "Master Qingtian" could I really didn't do anything on a sunny day. There are many tricks to hide the sky and the haze, the way of deceiving the wind and sand, and the way of listening to the wind is the rain.

After all, it is impossible for these officials and squires to obtain the items needed for the celebration out of nothing. All the materials provided to Xu County for the celebration were collected from the people in the countryside. The officials present and the setters were these squires, and everyone was full of oil and water in this grand celebration.

And now, Zhong Hong actually said such righteous words.

What does this mean?
Guo Feng quickly reacted, quickly gave the people around him a wink, and said to Zhong Hong with a smile: "What the county lord said is true!"We are all loyal men! 』

"Yep!Loyal to the big man!Loyal to the prime minister! 』

"Exactly, exactly! 』

『The county honor is doing our best for the great man, and we are also doing our best for the court! 』

"Xiao Xiao's rumors are all slander!Immediately send an order to the inspectors of Lifang. If anyone dares to slander the Shangguan, he will be arrested! 』

"Don't worry, county lord!Such gossip will not be allowed to spread! 』

"Yingyin is stable and the people are peaceful! 』

"How lucky I am to have a humble job, and to be able to follow the county's respect. Today I know the way of being loyal to the country, and I will always remember it in my heart at that time!" 』

"..."

Chong Hong nodded in satisfaction, and raised his glass again, "It's all thanks to everyone's concerted efforts!"Come, let's toast together, respect the Son of Heaven, long life, and the great man, long-term peace and order! 』

"Oh oh oh..."

The banquet lasted for more than an hour.

After midnight, Chong Hong did not engage in any entertainment activities such as impromptu poetry, and also refused the seduction and retention of Meiji during the banquet, and amidst the praises, he got into the carriage and returned to the government office.

Guo Feng sent him all the way to the restaurant, and waited for Zhong Hong's carriage to go away before walking back with his hands behind his back.

Everyone naturally followed Guo Feng and sent off Zhong Hong together.Seeing that Zhong Hongyuan had gone, some people began to discuss it.

"I said... the county magistrate is... in front of such a beauty, how can he sit still?Tsk tsk...」

"Could it be...hehehe..."

"Have you eaten leopard guts?"How dare you criticize the county magistrate?The county respects this is a great sage, and it is a model for our generation to learn from...』

"Oh, that's right, that's right, that's exactly what I mean, the county lord is really a role model for my generation..."

Guo Feng listened all the way, with a sneer on his mouth.

How could it be possible for the dignified magistrate of a county to let himself go in front of you?You have to hold it back to some extent, or else you will proclaim your obscenity in public, and you will be exposed, how will you put on a show next time, how will you maintain your majesty?
As for the restlessness, it is even more false. I am afraid that I can't sit still because of Meiji's teasing, so I hurried home to vent my anger. After all, Guo Feng personally ordered someone to send two people secretly. The beautiful woman got into the carriage, seeing the swaying appearance of the receding carriage, maybe she immediately got involved in it?
But that's okay, after all, with Zhong Hong present, he still can't let go.

After returning to the restaurant, Guo Feng greeted him to remove the remnants of food and open a new table, and then, amidst the flattery, he sat on the main seat, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "The county lord You heard what I said before!Now that there are more and more refugees outside the city, there is also noise and uncertainty in the city!These are all disobedient people, as well as those who make chaos!In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures should be used!Within three days, need Jingping to criticize and eliminate the refugees! 』

Everyone should be in a hurry.

After all, Guo Feng is not only a powerful local family, but also holds the position of Yingyin County Prime Minister.

"Dare to ask the county magistrate, this is an extraordinary method..." Someone asked, "What should I do?"Unless soldiers are dispatched to clear it...』

"No! Another person retorted, "How can you use soldiers?"This movement, isn’t it...you know that among the soldiers...』

"That's right, I was wrong...but if you don't need soldiers, how can you survive?" 』

"It's better to block the streets and expel the refugees!"As long as you don't see or hear in the city, there are no refugees! 』

"right!No refugees are allowed to exist in the street market area, hindering the view! 』

"But expulsion here?Not right!These are also Yingchuan... Ah, no, I'm not saying that those refugees are so pitiful...I, I'm just saying that if the refugees go to Xu County...』

Guo Feng frowned slightly, and looked at the ignorant official, "What's so difficult about this?"Outside the city, there are several ruined temples and dilapidated villages. How can we not accommodate them?Send people to be on duty all around, allowing people to enter and not allowing them to leave! 』

"Yes, yes, I understand... But these ruined houses, there is nothing to eat..."

Guo Feng sneered and said, "Are you kind?" 』

"No, no, the county magistrate has misunderstood. The humble official said that if these untouchables have no food, they will inevitably make troubles if they are extremely hungry... Even if they are young and strong, they may not be safe. If civil unrest breaks out... ...'

"What you said makes some sense..." Guo Feng nodded, "In this way, every two or three days, some old grain and old grain will be sent to the village to entice them to loot and make them hate each other. That is... as long as there is something to eat, these pariahs will naturally not make a fuss... If you can't get it, you will eat it yourself, and you can't blame us...』

"Goodbye, County Prime Minister!Obedience! 』

Press down on the questions here, and some questions will surface there.Someone said, "Qi reported to the county magistrate, in the surrounding countryside...some, um, some people who say they are from the city...are they also sent to the ruined village? 』

Guo Feng frowned, "What are the people of this city?"Only those who have registered permanent residence can be the citizens of this city!The law of the Han Dynasty is upright and upright, and it has been clearly stipulated and promulgated to the world!Those who leave the place of household registration are refugees!It's a refugee!You said that there are people from the city among them, and I ask you, where is their household registration? !Um? ! 』

"Yes, yes, I'm stupid, I'm stupid..."

"What else is there for you?" 』Guo Feng flicked his sleeves coldly, and looked viciously at the little official who asked the question just now, as if he wanted to keep his appearance in his heart, and then clean up after the event, which immediately attracted everyone present to panic Low and silent.

Guo Feng waited for another moment, and seeing that everyone was still silent, he put away his evil faces and put on a smiling face, "Well... each expresses his own opinion, is your deficiency, very good, very good... Words Those who, hehe, not guilty, not guilty... Since everyone has no objection, we will act according to the policy tomorrow!There must be no more mistakes! 』

Everyone hastily agreed.

Guo Feng laughed and clapped his hands to signal, "Come here, serve the food!"Serve wine!Let's dance! 』

The atmosphere immediately eased up, the wine and Maggie intertwined, feasting, laughing and laughing, seemed to present the most wonderful scene in the world.
