179 There are also New Year's gifts for the elderly

After years of famine, the ordinary people of the entire Great Sui have not been serious for many years, not to mention eating meat, even rice and noodles, and it is good to have corn to satisfy their stomachs.

However, in the year that Emperor Sheng Kang was able to ascend the throne, the people of Chang'an City actually received the "welfare" issued by the imperial court as if in a dream, and the notice was written like this, that is, free rice and fish called welfare.

It's not the people who pay tribute, but the benefits issued by the court!

As soon as the notice came out, the literate person read it in public, and the entire Chang'an City was a sensation. Running around to tell each other that some people still don't believe it, but they don't believe it, everyone who gets the news rushes home to get the fish charm, for fear that it will be gone if it is one step too late.

On the evening of the dawn of winter, dozens of large cars have been neatly parked in the open space at the gates of the four cities in the east, west, north and south, and the directors of each square have been standing in front of the cars and waiting.

The inner city of Chang'an City is divided into four areas, southeast and northwest according to the planning of the fang city, and the main table of the fang city is to strictly separate the residential area (fang) and the trading area (city), and use the law and system to strictly control the time and place of the transaction, with the dual functions of management and service, the management function is to maintain feudal rule as the main purpose (focusing on the fang), and the service function has the purpose of maintaining market order and promoting the development of economic stability (focusing on the city).

"Those who live in the town are the fang, and those who are in the field are the village." The "fang" in the fang city system is a closed management mode that divides all kinds of buildings in the city into a closed geographical space, and divides the urban residents into zones to live and maintain relative independence. As the pinnacle of the development of the fang city system in the past dynasties, the Tang Dynasty lived and managed the city residents according to the fang, forming a unified urban pattern. According to the division of the fang market, there are five fang in a city gate, and there are twenty fang in the entire inner city of Chang'an.

Each city has a supervisor. Called "Fang Chang", equivalent to the village chief in the countryside, and above there are more "Fang officials" unified management, a few and dozens of more than hundreds of households, the head of the Fang is also a public recommendation of highly respected people, and then there are Fang officials certified after formal appointment.

The head of the workshop knows most of the residents in his shop, because many people have moved back recently. There are also immigrants. The management became stricter, especially the distribution of benefits, which were 100 meters of white flour and fish. If someone pretends to receive more than one person, it is a loss of the emperor's grace! Therefore, all the workshops are waiting for each other, and the owners and officials of the workshops have come out, striving to make no mistakes this time.

The people came with fish charms with quick feet. Sure enough, when I saw the big car full of piles, I couldn't help myself with excitement for a while. and the wise ones who took all kinds of containers. Cloth sack, sack, dustpan, basket...... There are all kinds of things in the team.

In front of the guards armed with swords and halberds, the people still pay attention to the rules, the team is not chaotic at all, and no one dares to cut the queue without long eyes.

As soon as the hour comes. The officials who came to help from the Ministry of Household Rites began to instruct their guards to unload the trucks and prepare to distribute things.

Looking at the white rice and noodles and piles of fish and meat, I thought of the benefits of those officials who brought back yesterday. The hearts of the officials of both ministries were warm.

I was anxious to go back last night and cooked white rice and steamed fish, that tasted ...... I haven't tasted it in years.

The people lined up one by one. Because of the large number of people, they are not weighed one by one, but a few small quantities are created, and the measured rice noodles are exactly one catty, two catties, three catties and five catties, and the distribution is also fast.

The weather was fine, and the first batch was finished when the sun rose to noon. There are not as many people in Chang'an City as imagined. There will be a batch in the afternoon, and you can come back in the afternoon if you don't get it.

The average life expectancy of people in this era is only forty or fifty years old, and more than sixty is considered a high life. Therefore, after discussing with Mu Fushu, San Lang and Mu Fushu ordered that those who are over 60 years old, regardless of men and women, will receive ten catties of rice and noodles and five catties of fish and meat. These people will be reported by each owner, and then the owner will report to the household department after verification, and the household department will verify and issue it.

This is also why Mu Fushu and San Lang want to investigate the number of elderly people in Chang'an City. The old people Mu Fushu saw in the market were often no more than forty or fifty years old, and they looked like they were seventy or eighty years old in modern times, which was really frightening.

Because the New Year is getting closer and closer, two days later will be the first year of Shengkang, and the New Year's ancestor worship and worship to the sky need to be held ceremoniously. The treasury is empty, and what is lacking is money, but now grain is far more valuable than silver, and there is more grain in Mu Fushu. If grain is given to those officials instead of pay, everyone responds.

Mu Fushu is not without worry. No matter how good Shu is, it is impossible to provide endless food, even if the king of Shu does not say it, others will doubt it. Saburo laughed at her for being too careful. When she expressed her worries, she said meaningfully: "As long as there is food, even if you are a monster, they will call you a god." ”

Mu Fu Shu enlightenment. Indeed, in the face of hunger, Yi Zi has food, she can provide food, and everyone will naturally provide her.

San Lang touched her face, kissed her, and said triumphantly: "My queen is even more popular than me now!" Those benefits you sent made those who originally thought I was a yellow-haired child, but I just relied on my surname Yang to ascend to the throne, and they were all bluffed......"

He laughed "haha": "As soon as your vegetables go down, even your grandfather will be called a big deal." I know he'll scold you for being a loser when he gets home. ”

Mu Fushu also smiled. Cui Yuanqi was originally free and easy, but now he is fighting for his grandson and son-in-law. The household department is clear, and his Shangshu is also very hard. Thinking that he was always Yang Weiai's father, Mu Fushu felt that he should still appease him, and on a whim, he filled the household granary overnight, and the grain in his space was half empty, but Cui Yuanqi, who went to load the car in the morning, was scared, and to put it mildly, it was sent by Shudi.

Clear-eyed people didn't see a grain truck coming over in Shudi, but this grain is in Chang'an, and in the end, isn't it cheaper for them? Therefore, those who knew about this only doubted in their hearts, and did not show anything on their faces.

By December 29, that is, Chinese New Year's Eve, the old people over sixty years old with fish charms inside and outside Chang'an City were counted, and the total number of people was less than 500!

Mu Fushu couldn't help sighing, there are more than 200,000 people in the entire Chang'an, less than one-fifth of the heyday! There may be some people who have received the news and are rushing back before they have time to come back, but the comparison between the 1 million in the heyday and the 200,000 in the current situation is really shocking, and less than 500 of these 200,000 people are over 60 years old, which shows how cruel the living conditions are now.

The person who compiles the roster is a talent, and each city is separated. According to the surname record of personal names, men all have names, even if they are ugly like Zhang Amao Li Adog, they are always the same name, and women are pitiful, all of them are xx, or Mrs. X. Naturally, being able to be called a lady has a status. xx or something. As you can see from the name, women in this era have no status!

Mu Fushu glanced at it casually, and actually saw someone surnamed Mu inside. And the old man's name is Mu You, exactly sixty.

Mu You, Mu You...... Mu Fushu frowned and thought about it carefully, Mu Zhongjun's father seems to be called Mu You? The old shrew Mu Cheng's sprinkled when she once scolded with her name and surname, "Mu You, you are a ...... who kills a thousand knives"

I don't know if it's that Muyou? Thinking of Mu Cheng's unreasonableness and the best of that family. Mu Fushu had a headache. After thinking about it, I still recruited someone to come over and asked him to inquire about where Na Muyou's ancestral home was. Who else is in the family?

I inquired here, and the thing was still hairy. Five hundred percent of the elderly are full of gifts and support for the elderly, and they directly let people move out of the eldest princess's mansion.

In the evening, San Lang came out of the palace to the eldest princess's mansion, saying that he wanted to discuss the New Year's sacrifice. In fact, everyone knows that he is just to see the future queen.

Now the Great Sui Dynasty from the prince to the common people all know that the new emperor takes the future queen very seriously, and when he went to court, he didn't bring out the sentence "how the queen ......"

It's as if they're married.

This is the case with the current rulers of the Great Sui. A lot of people think it's the way it should be.

Although Yang Zhiqi is said to be the son of King Huai, he is not a son-in-law after all. If it weren't for the support of the eldest princess Yang Weiai and the King of Shu, even if there was a will of the first emperor, it would not be so justifiable to ascend the throne. As the only daughter of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess so far, Mu Fushu's identity is worthy of the new emperor, and in addition to her, Da Sui can't find anyone who can be the queen.

It can be said that the new emperor's love for the future queen is taken for granted, and in the eyes of many people, San Lang can ascend to the throne by relying on the relationship between Mu Fushu and Yang Weiai.

And San Lang did not exclude others from looking at him like this, and even more often mentioned Mu Fushu when he was in the court:

"Queen Shannong, the sweet potatoes in Shu and the potatoes and corn launched this year are the ones she obtained after finding seeds from the deep mountains and trying to plant them......"

"The queen is kind, and she helps the people in a certain place in a certain year and a certain month......"

"The queen is strategic, and when she attacked the city outside Jiangning City in a certain year and month......"

"The queen has the world in mind, and this benefit is produced by the queen's manor in Shudi...... Free distribution of ......"

In the end, the ministers who didn't know Mu Fushu felt that this queen was really a strange woman who was rare in a hundred years, and even felt that the new emperor was a perfect woman who burned incense in his previous life to be the queen.

This is the luck of the new emperor, but also the luck of the Great Sui......

After Cui Chongyu and Yang Weng came back, they learned to listen to Yang Weiai and Mu Fushu, Yang Weiai was honored and honored, and Mu Fushu rarely blushed a little. Why didn't she know that this was Saburo building momentum for her? Just saying this, he put his posture too low, making everyone think that he was a soft eater, and he became the emperor by himself and Yang Weiai.

Therefore, when Xiao Chinese New Year's Eve was eating and feeding, Mu Fushu was a little worried when he saw San Lang, and blamed him for not saying this, putting himself in such an embarrassing situation. San Lang said nonchalantly: "I'm telling the truth, and I didn't make it up, don't worry, the road ahead must be for us to walk together, and the prosperity of the Great Sui will also be for us to create zào together." ”

Mu Fushu's eyes were red, and Yang Weiai was even more excited to hug Cui Chongyu and Yang Weng left and right, and even said that his vision was like a torch, and the son-in-law he picked was so good......

Mu Fushu's heart was sunny, and he felt that Yang Weiai's vision was good, didn't he see two beautiful men hugging left and right? Did she also have the dream of a beautiful man's harem? (To be continued)
