Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 931
Xianhe's Jiankang in 11 is not much different from previous years.After the celebration of the emperor's big wedding in the new year, life returned to normal, and the people had their own jobs, and they managed their family business step by step.

The streets and alleys are becoming more and more prosperous, and the newly built square city is gradually being completed, and there are few wandering and eating refugees in ragged clothes inside and outside the city.

In the past, refugees with such poor food and clothing in Jiankang City might have aroused some sympathy, but now that such people appear again, it will only make people disgusted and disgusted.

Because there has been no war in Jiangdong for a long time, especially inside and outside Jiankang City, large and small workshops and farms are scattered in an orderly manner. Anyone who is naturalized in the county or township can have the opportunity to be employed. If you are not rich and expensive, you will still be able to keep warm and be self-sufficient.

In the past few years, the ruling princes of Taifu have been focusing on implementing the administration of officials, especially in Jiankang, a place in the capital, where there is already a hint of great governance.The peace and prosperity of the past few years were even praised by people at the time as unmatched by China and North Korea, and even far away from the prosperity of Taikang.

In today's Jiankang City, poverty and crampedness are rare, and the folk customs have become cheerful. Of course, there is no shortage of jokes and boasting, especially when talking about the wars and hardships in other places, there is a kind of complacency and pride.

Of course, there are not all discordant voices, especially after the beginning of summer, the price of food in the capital has soared. Although it is not as exaggerated as in previous years, it has risen from less than ten yuan to nearly fifty yuan now.This naturally brought great pressure to life for the people who had just had enough food and clothing, and gradually accumulated a lot of resentment.

There are many people in the streets and alleys discussing why the price of rice in the city is so high, and gradually some people say that the side will be greedy for merit. It is clear that Jin Zuo is now powerful and there is no threat of soldiers on all sides, but there is Fang Bo in the border town who is greedy for merit. Seeking progress, but keeping things out of the way, resulted in continuous attacks and huge military expenditures, leaving the people of Jiangdong without food.

This reason was soon widely known by the people in the capital, and they were scolded again and again for a while.Shengmin themselves have little foresight and no great revenge. They only care about two meals in the morning and evening, and two clothes in spring and autumn.

After this kind of hatred was heated up, specific news soon came out that the biggest battle this year was the Huainan Governor's Mansion sending troops to the north, with a scale of several 10 people and a daily consumption of hundreds of millions of money and food.The soaring price of rice in Jiangdong is due to the Huainan Army's consumption of a large amount of Jiangdong materials.

As soon as they heard the news, the people's sentiments suddenly became agitated: Why?Why are there so many army generals on all sides, but whoever has something to do outside the country, they work alone for the son-in-law Duke Liang!Inside and outside the court, there are so many virtuous elders, each of them has a vegetarian meal, and the state affairs have to be entrusted to the son-in-law!
Some people even said that in order to completely eradicate Jiehu in the north, the son-in-law even had no time to live and take care of his wife who was pregnant with Liujia and his children were about to be born. It's not as clear as the big river, and you can't even sustain meals, and you have to cheer up and hold your sword to supervise the battle!

There are some details in it. It is said that in order to ensure that the frontline soldiers are adequate, although she is pregnant, she cuts her own expenses. Every day is spent on clear soup and thin soup.

And among the squares and cities, there are even folk dramas and plays "Danyang Teaching the Son", which tells the story of Princess Danyang, in order to teach her children to be loyal and diligent in state affairs, she recites the principles of the military scriptures every day, so that the fetus is psychic, even if it has not yet been born, even if there is no one in the room. People often have the sound of drumming and fighting to arouse their ambitions.

Naturally, there is no lack of absurdity in this drama, which arouses ridicule from others.Whenever there is sarcasm, the villagers will fight for it. There is no need to mention Duke Liang's natural endowment, but he is absolutely unrivaled in the north and south. Now that his blood descendants have visions before they are born, what is so surprising?In the final analysis, those scoffers had no idea how miraculous and amazing Duxiu Jiangdong's blood was!

But there are also people who are not angry, and they can't help but ask how can people be sure that Princess Danyang will definitely have a son?Wouldn't it be a girl?
Every time someone hears this question, they can't help being indignant and heartbroken.The son-in-law himself fought for the country, made great achievements repeatedly, and got Lin'er to inherit his father's will. This is a sign that the Hulu will be defeated and Jinzuo will prosper!As a result, before the child was even born, he was cursed with treachery and evil, what kind of vicious heart did he have!

Of course, this is just a gimmick among some villagers in the city, but the surge of public opinion still caused a lot of influence.

At the beginning of July, Yuan Dan, who was in charge of Kuaiji, was promoted to return to the capital because of his excellent grades in successive years of examinations.This can be regarded as some achievements in the local experience, so after Yuan Dan returned to the capital, he was unavoidably full of ambitions. The meeting was held in the capital with relatives and old friends, and it lasted for several days, and the scene was not small.

However, during the banquet one day, there was a group of middle-aged young men who came to the banquet uninvited and made a big noise at the banquet, reprimanding Yuan Dan and his relatives and friends for being ignorant and shameless. Gonggong, the son-in-law Duke Liang even took the lead in fighting in Henan, but the enemy was in the north of the river, and he protected Jiangdong from military disasters.

In the end, this group of courageous gangsters actually still had the face to stay in Jiangdong drunk and dream of dying, showing off their boasting, it is really unbearable!

Naturally, the banquet broke up unhappy, especially Yuan Dan was made so disgraced that he didn't even have the face to return to the stage to take office.

But Yuan Dan was the only one who suffered the disaster. In a few days, his attendant Gu Pi asked for leave to return to his hometown to worship, but because there were many people seeing him off, he stayed for a few more days.In the end, the young man in the capital learned about it, rushed into his house, angrily reprimanded him for being an official, and for being sorry for Jun Enguo's salary, and made a big fuss, and then walked away.

Similar deeds happened frequently, and even some Taifus mostly stayed in Taicheng if they had nothing else to do, worrying about being blocked and insulted by people wandering outside.

You must know that these young people are not the children of ordinary people, they are all the children of wealthy families who take the son-in-law Liang Gong as an example in life, although they are young and do nothing, they have a very hot temper.

They have much more information channels than ordinary people, because they are young and inevitably extreme. In their view, Jinzuo's way out now lies in Jiangbei, and all officials who are still staying in Jiangdong are timid wastes who dare not serve the country. Sacrifice, of course, can't talk about loyalty.

It was already extremely embarrassing to be blocked by these young people who couldn't figure it out, and I really couldn't bear to investigate further.Especially at the moment, the voices of the people in Duzhong feel sorry for the son-in-law who has worked too hard for state affairs. For a while, these young people have become young heroes praised by everyone, and their ambitions are catching up with the son-in-law.

Today the son-in-law is the surrogate name of Prince Liang Shen Weizhou. Although there is still the son-in-law of the Yuan emperor in Taicheng as the captain of the son-in-law, the princess Nandi was also married before the emperor's wedding.But the only one recognized by the public is Duke Liang, as for the others, let's play around.

With the help of people's voices and wishes, those young people are more encouraged and act more unscrupulously. Sometimes they really can't find the target, but fortunately they killed their relatives.Even if Shen Chong didn't pay attention once, he was blocked by his own Shen family's children at Shen Gongfang's house and scolded him, dumbfounding.

In the end, the princes of Taifu couldn't calm down. No one could bear to go home after a long time and had to guard against the cold eyes in the corner of their own house. They simply used half-written instructions to the people in the capital. Now all parties are concerned. When there is a war, the frontier generals also do their duty to protect the peace of Jin Zuo, and it is by no means the only son-in-law Shen Weizhou fighting alone.

In this way, the people's pent-up grievances due to the high prices in the capital finally have a target to pour out: it is clear that there is no one who dares to be an enemy on all sides at the moment of Jinzuo Dachang. , making people's livelihood in Jiangdong difficult!Could it be that those people thought they could be compared with the son-in-law Shen Weizhou?
The son-in-law is a lonely and weak army, so he defeated hundreds of thousands of strong troops in the Jie Kingdom. In just a few years, he recovered thousands of miles of territory!Those frontier generals wereted rice and food, but they had nothing to boast about!

Regarding the voices of the people in the capital, the Taifus really have nothing to say. In order to ensure the stability of the capital, they had to find out a few officials in charge of raising commercial taxes privately from Dongfangfang City. Let merchants stabilize prices slightly.

Although these officials themselves were not clean, but this time they suffered for others.After Dingcang was pulled to Jiangbei, Jiangdong's finances, especially Taiwanese capital, lost a large amount of income. Although thanks to the rectification of officials, the income of Jiangdong's states and counties has greatly increased.

But these wealth also have their own uses. Because of the backing of the tripod warehouse, the convenience of opening the market and the sale of large-scale ordnance, Huainan can be self-sufficient in terms of money and food, and sometimes even donate part of it to Taicheng to show its obedience. Taiwan cabinet decree.

However, the Huainan army has created an ethos of boasting meritorious service in border towns. There is no need to mention the three towns of Jing, Xu, and Yu. Even Jiaozhou in the south, the governor Deng Yue has frequently attacked Chenghan from the south in recent years. The friction continued.There is no way, if you don't do this, not only will you be criticized, you will not even be able to retain talents.

These military towns don't have as much income as Huainan. To use troops, they need money and food, and they need to be allocated by the central government in addition to self-raising.All parties are asking for money and food. If they don't give it, they will turn to imperial edicts and policies, open the market, forge, and levy more, and the reason is so honest that it is impossible to refuse.

Therefore, although Jiangdong has been stable in recent years, the weather has been considered favorable, and there have been no major natural disasters, the rich dividends of Jiangdong have not been enjoyed by the officials of the Taiwan Pavilion. Even in order to meet the needs of the towns, even the original Taiwan A lot of money has been allocated.

It is easy to go from thrift to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. When Dingcang was in Jiankang, the ministers of Taiwan lived quite comfortably.Now that Dingcang is no longer under the control of Taicheng, it can only find a way from the current prosperity of Jiankang, and increase revenue by means of increasing market entry tax and other means.

Those merchants are naturally not ordinary people. They are reluctant to give up the big Jiankang market, but also want to maintain their original profits. Naturally, this part of the cost is added to the price.From this point of view, the soaring price in Jiangdong is not entirely due to the war in Jiangbei.

But this heart-pounding uproar, after all, still left a big shadow in the hearts of the ministers.They are also working hard for the affairs of the country, and they are also doing their best for the society, but those foolish people are so kind to each other, it is really aggrieved.
