0937 The people are in the middle of the city
Xianhe's eleventh year of Jiankang is not much different from previous years. After the emperor's wedding celebration on the New Year, life returned to normal, and the people worked their own way and managed their family business and livelihood step by step.
The streets and alleys are becoming more and more prosperous, and the newly built fang market is gradually being completed, and there are few ragged nomadic people inside and outside the city.
In the past, the appearance of such refugees in Jiankang City may have aroused some sympathy, but now the appearance of such people will only make people disgusted and disgusted.
Because Jiangdong has not been at war for a long time, especially inside and outside Jiankang City, large and small workshops and farms are scattered, as long as anyone is naturalized in the county and township, he can have the opportunity to be employed, as long as he is willing to work hard, even if he is not rich and expensive, he is still guaranteed to be warm and self-sufficient.
In the past few years, the ruling princes of Taifu have been focusing on the implementation of the rule of officials, especially in Jiankang, the land of Gyeonggi, which has hidden a bit of great governance. In recent years, the peace and wealth have been praised by the people of the time as difficult to reach in China and North Korea, and even far away from the prosperous era of Taikang.
In today's Jiankang City, poverty and crampedness are rare, and the people's customs have turned into cheerful atmosphere, of course, there is no lack of ridicule and boasting, especially when it comes to the war and hardship in other places, there is a kind of complacent and full of pride.
Of course, it is not without discord, especially after the summer, the price of grain in the capital has soared, although it has not reached the exaggeration of previous years, but it has also risen from less than ten yuan to nearly fifty yuan today. This naturally brought great pressure to the people who had just been able to eat and wear, and gradually accumulated a lot of resentment.
There are many people in the streets and alleys to discuss why the price of rice in the capital is high, and gradually some people say that they are greedy for merit, obviously now Jinzuo is powerful, and there is no threat of soldiers on all sides, but there are border towns Fang Bo who is greedy for merit and seeks progress, and provokes trouble outside, resulting in continuous attacks and huge military consumption, and the people of Jiangdong have nothing to eat.
This reason was soon widely known to the people in the capital, and for a while, there were many scoldings. The people themselves have little far-sightedness, and there is no grand revenge, they only care about two meals in the morning and evening, spring and autumn clothes, if anyone violates them, it is naturally a great crime, and the people will be disgusted.
After this kind of hatred was stirred up, there was soon specific news, that is, the biggest war this year was the Huainan Governor's Office to use troops to the north, the scale of which reached hundreds of thousands of people, and the daily consumption of money and food was hundreds of millions. The soaring price of rice in Jiangdong is due to the fact that the Huainan Army consumes a large amount of Jiangdong materials.
As soon as they heard the news, the people's feelings suddenly became excited: Why? Why are there so many army generals on the four sides, but whenever there is something to do externally, they will work alone with the horse Liang Gong! Inside and outside the government and the opposition, there are so many virtuous elders and elders, all of whom are vegetarian and vegetarian, and state affairs must be entrusted to the horses!
Some people even said that in order to completely wipe out the northern karma, even the wife was pregnant with Liujia and the descendants were about to be born, so they led the soldiers to fight on the northern front, regardless of victory or defeat, life and death for the time being, and even because the water of the river was not as clear as the river, even the food could not be sustained, and they had to fight with the spirit to help the sword and supervise the battle!
There are some details in it, saying that in order to ensure that the front-line soldiers are fully used, although the princess is pregnant, she uses her own degree, and every day is a clear soup and thin soup.
And between the fang market, there are more folk performances to make up "Danyang Godson", which is about the princess of Danyang in order to teach her children to be loyal and diligent in state affairs, and recite the righteousness of the book of soldiers every day, so that the fetus is psychic, even if it has not yet been born, even if no one in the living room often has the sound of drums and soldiers, in order to sound its will.
Naturally, this drama is not lacking in absurdity, which arouses the ridicule of others. But where there is ridicule, there are villagers to fight for, Liang Gong's own talent endowment does not need to be mentioned, but it is absolutely unique in the north and south, and now his blood descendants have a vision, what is surprising? After all, those scoffers don't know how amazing the bloodline of this Duxiu Jiangdong is!
But some people are not angry, and they can't help but ask, how can people be sure that Princess Danyang will definitely give birth to a son? Wouldn't it be a girl?
Every time someone hears this question, they can't help but be indignant and heartbroken. The horse itself is fighting for the country, making great achievements, and then getting Lin'er to inherit his father's will, which is a sign that Hulu will be defeated and Jin Zuo Dachang! As a result, now that the child has not yet been born, there is a curse of adultery, what kind of vicious heart is there!
Of course, this is just a gimmick talk between some villagers in the city, but the crowd of the people still has a lot of impact.
At the beginning of July, Yuan Tan, who was appointed as the chief auditor, was promoted to the Taiwan Cabinet because of his excellent evaluation for many years. This can also be regarded as an achievement in local experience, so Yuan Tan will inevitably be complacent after returning to the capital, and the old friends of relatives and friends in the capital of the conference will be arranged for several days, and the scene is not small.
However, in the banquet on one day, there was a team of young men who were uninvited, making a big banquet, reprimanding Yuan Tan and his relatives and friends for not knowing what to do, Tian was shameless, and now the hope of Guozuo is in Jiangbei, countless benevolent and righteous people went north to hunt for merit, and Liang Gong of the horse was the first soldier to fight in Henan, but the enemy was in the north of the river, protecting Jiangdong from military disasters.
As a result, this group of gallless ointment beams still had the face to stay in Jiangdong drunk and dreaming of death, boasting about themselves, which was really unbearable!
The banquet naturally broke up unhappily, especially Yuan Tan was even more disgraced, and he didn't even have the face to return to the stage, and he didn't dare to see guests at home behind closed doors, for fear of being reprimanded in the present.
And the one who suffered was not known to be Yuan Tan, and after a few days, Gu Bi asked for leave to return to his hometown to worship, but because there were many people who saw him off, he stayed for a few more days. As a result, the young man in the capital learned about it, rushed directly into his house, angrily scolded his residence officials for having nothing to do, and was sorry for the king's grace and country, and also made a big fuss, and then walked away.
Similar deeds have happened repeatedly, and even some Taifu people have nothing else to do, most of them stay in Taicheng, worried that they will be blocked and insulted when they wander outside.
You must know that these young people are not the children of ordinary people, they are all the children of the power family who take the concubine Liang Gong as an example in life, although they are less and more important, but their temper is very dry.
They have many more news channels than ordinary people, because they are young and inevitably radical, in their opinion, now that Jin Zuo's way out is all in Jiangbei, all the officials who are still in Jiangdong are cowardly wastes, and they dare not sacrifice their lives for the country, and naturally they can't talk about loyalty.
It was already extremely embarrassing to be blocked and scolded by these young people who couldn't figure it out, and I really couldn't pull my face down to investigate deeply. Especially at present, the voice of the people in the capital also pities the horses for working too hard for state affairs, and for a time these young people have become young heroes praised by everyone, and their ambition is to chase after the horses.
Now the concubine is the name of Shen Weizhou, the Duke of Liang, although there is still Emperor Yuan's son-in-law as the lieutenant of the concubine in Taicheng, and the princess Nandi is also married before the emperor's wedding. But the only recognition of the people is Liang Gong, as for the rest, while playing.
With the help of the people's aspirations, those young people are more encouraged and act more unscrupulously. Even if Shen Chong didn't pay attention once, he was blocked by his own Shen family's children and scolded at Shen Gongfang's house, crying and laughing.
In the end, it was difficult for the princes of Taiwan to be calm, and no one could stand the cold eyes in the corner of their house when they finally returned home, so they simply used a semi-written edict to the people, and now there is war on all sides, and the border generals are also doing their duty to protect the peace of Jinzuo, and it is not only the horse Shen Weizhou who fights alone.
In this way, the people's grievances accumulated due to the high prices in the capital finally have an object to pour out: it is clear that there is no one who dares to be the enemy on the four sides of Jinzuo Dachang at the moment, and these border generals have consumed Jiangdong materials for their own merits, resulting in difficulties for the livelihood of Jiangdong people! Could it be that those people think they can compare to Shen Weizhou?
The horse is a lonely and weak army, and it defeated hundreds of thousands of strong troops in the country, and in just a few years, thousands of miles of Xinjiang were restored! Those border generals consumed rice and grain in vain, and the result was nothing to boast of!
In order to ensure the stability of Gyeonggi, they had to find out a few officials from Dongxifang City who had privately increased the amount of commercial taxes, which could be regarded as a little explanation, and temporarily let the merchants stabilize prices a little.
Although these officials themselves are not clean, they have really suffered this time on behalf of others. After Dingcang was pulled to Jiangbei, Jiangdong's finances, especially Taiwanese capital, lost a large part of their revenue, although thanks to the rectification of the bureaucracy, Jiangdong's various prefectures and counties were able to greatly increase their revenues.
However, these financial endowments also have their own uses, because Huainan has the backing of Dingcang, the convenience of opening the market, and the large amount of arms sold, they can be self-sufficient in terms of money and food, and sometimes they can even donate a part of it to Taicheng to show their obedience to the decree of the Taiwan Cabinet.
However, the Huainan army brought up a border town to boast of merit, Jing, Xu, and Yu towns do not need to be mentioned, even Jiaozhou in the south, in recent years, Deng Yue has frequently attacked Cheng Han from the south, although there is no big war, small frictions are constant. There is no way, if you don't do this, you will not only be attacked, but you will not even be able to retain talents.
These military towns do not have as much input as Huainan, and it costs money and food to use soldiers, and they need to be allocated by the center in addition to self-funding. All parties are asking for money and food, if they don't give it, then they will transfer the edict policy, open the market, smelt and cast, and levy, and the reason is so upright that people can't refuse.
Therefore, in recent years, although Jiangdong has been stable, the climate is also smooth, and there are no major natural disasters, the solid dividends of Jiangdong have not been enjoyed much by the ministers of the Taiwan Cabinet, and even in order to meet the needs of the towns, even the original Taiwan funds have been allocated a lot.
From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, when Dingcang was in Jiankang, the ministers were very nourishing. Now that Dingcang is no longer in the hands of Taicheng, then we can only find a way to open up the source by increasing the commercial tax on entering the city.
Those merchants are naturally not ordinary people, they are reluctant to give up the Jiankang market, and they want to maintain the original profits, so they naturally add this part of the cost to the price. In this respect, the soaring prices in Jiangdong are not entirely due to the war in Jiangbei.
But this heart-piercing uproar still left a big shadow in the hearts of the ministers after all. They also work hard for national affairs, and they also work hard for the community, but those foolish people are so kind of each other, which is really wronged.
