Chapter 014: Civil Unrest
The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Yang Tong's biological clock woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Wei Fengwu pillowed his arm, looking at him with a sweet smile.
"Don't sleep more?" Yang Tong tightened the soft and delicate body with one hand, and brushed away the emanation from her face with the other.
Wei Fengwu grabbed his hand and was surprised when he found the new world: "Husband, how can there be a lotus flower in your palm, it is so beautiful." ”
"I don't know when!" It's not that Yang Tong is lying, he really doesn't know, and he thinks the original owner has it!
Wei Fengwu, who was lying down, saw that Yang Tong was suddenly stunned, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but stretch out his little white jade hand and gently push Yang Tong
"Husband, why are you looking at me like this?" Wei Fengwu was shy by Yang Tong and hid in the quilt.
"Hahaha!" Yang Tong laughed, this daughter-in-law is so cute
"Husband, what are you laughing at?" Wei Fengwu secretly showed her little head and asked curiously.
Yang Tong smiled and said, "It's cold, you sleep for a while, I'm going to get up and practice martial arts." ”
As a time-traveling person, Yang Tong feels that in order to mix well, he must first integrate into this era, completely position himself as a Great Sui person, learn the strength to settle down with his own efforts, and then stand at the height of history and use some epoch-making knowledge to change a little things.
The knowledge brought by the crossing can only be regarded as talent, not real talent, the role of talent is indeed great, but if you rely too much on talent, something big will happen sooner or later.
is because in his own learning, Yang Tong has never lagged behind.
Wei Fengwu raised a pair of big moist eyes, sweet and ashamed, and said: "The dragon and phoenix among the husband and the gentleman, study hard rain or shine." How can I have the face to lie down in bed. From today on, I will also work hard with my husband, and I can't hold my husband back. ”
The world said that Yang Tong seemed to have changed as a person, and said that he said that Wu Quxing was possessed, but how did those people know about their husband's efforts?
"Okay!" Yang Tong smiled appreciatively.
The two got up together, studied hard, and improved their literacy.
While enjoying breakfast, they suddenly heard a loud noise outside the house, and the two looked at each other in shock, and they both subconsciously thought that someone had rebelled.
"Don't be afraid!"
Yang Tong reflexively rushed to the main hall
"What's going on?!"
At this time, the housekeeper Yang Yi hurriedly came: "Your Highness, it was the homeless people who smashed and robbed the North City......
"Tell me about the specific situation, how many homeless people are there, why do you want to smash and rob?"
Yang Yi hurriedly introduced.
When Yang Tong heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, there were actually millions of displaced people near Luoyang, and if it was put in the entire Henan County, it would be even more.
It's just that when I think about it carefully, I am relieved.
Hebei Province was the first to be in turmoil, and the people crossed the Yellow River and fled to Henan Province, some scattered in the Qingzhou area, and some came to Luoyang; After Qingzhou was in turmoil, so they fled west with the local people, all the way to Jibei, Dongping, Jiyin, Dongjun, Xingyang, after the development of Wagangzhai, all flocked to Henan County, the people of this county accumulated, gathered a small number of people, there are millions of displaced people is very normal.
This is not only that, due to the turmoil in the south, there is also a steady stream of displaced people from the war-torn area to Luoyang, and the government does not come forward to provide guidance, let alone open warehouses to release grain, so it is strange that there is no big chaos.
Two days before Yang Dong's class returned to the court, there was also a large-scale grain robbery incident of displaced people in the rice shop in Nanshi, and dozens of rice shops were not spared, and the businesses of livestock, horses, and meat stores were also affected one after another, and the merchants' money and goods were robbed, the shops were burned, the shopkeepers were beaten to death, and more than 500 people, homeless people, and merchants were trampled to death, and thousands of people were injured.
Affected by this, not only the grain shops in Nanshi were closed, but even the private grain shops in Luoyang were closed, and as a result, the price of rice skyrocketed to 600 Wen for doumi.
It was not until three days ago that Yang Guang's holy decree arrived, allowing Chang Ping to put 400,000 stone of grain and 400 pieces of rice on the market to stabilize the price of grain.
However, the price of 400 wen of doumi is only barely affordable for the local people, but for nearly a million impoverished displaced people, this is an unattainable astronomical amount, and the government has very little porridge for the displaced people every day, and every day the people starve to death and freeze to death in the ice and snow, and the proposal of Yuan Wendu to help the victims by the rich is almost a dead letter, and no rich household is willing to give free porridge to the dead.
Coupled with the suppression of the army in the Nanshi smashing incident and the hatred of the locals in the capital for the displaced people, the dissatisfaction of the displaced people accumulated day by day, and under the pressure of hunger and cold, it finally broke out in the early morning.
The South City incident is once again playing out in North City!
Originally, only 30,000 or 40,000 homeless people rushed into Beishi, but as the doors of a grain store were opened, bags of grain appeared in front of the homeless people...... They went crazy and rushed into the granary desperately. Soon, more and more displaced people rushed to hear the news......
An hour later, more than 100,000 displaced people had rushed into Beishi.
The situation began to get out of control, and the homeless people who could not rush in angrily smashed open the doors of all the shops, looted the contents inside, robbed everything of value, and killed some of the shopkeepers who stayed in the shops.
An unprecedented ransack begins to sweep through North City......
……
At this time, the 2,000 guards stationed at Xuanren Gate were the first to arrive...... They controlled the gate of the North City, and did not allow the displaced people who grabbed the food to escape, and tens of thousands of displaced people wanted to rush out of the North City, but the soldiers were desperately defending, and there was a fierce bloody conflict between the two sides!
In an instant, the screams continued, the blood flowed like a river, and the gate was full of corpses.
Two thousand soldiers with shields and long knives in their hands resisted the tens of thousands of displaced people who were swarming outward, and the cries of the displaced people shook the sky...... Among them were old people and children, who were wrapped in a roll outward and attacked, and the thousands of young men at the front used wooden sticks to fight the soldiers, because of the large number of displaced people, the soldiers gradually retreated, and some could not withstand it.
A brigade commander rushed to the Tiger Benlang General Mai Zhongcai and reported loudly: "General! The brothers can't stand it. ”
Mai Zhongcai was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and shouted: "I must resist it, and I am not allowed to let go of the chaotic people!" ”
Once these mobs rush out of Beishi and loot Luoyang, the mansions of the court officials and important ministers will be the first to be attacked, and the consequences will be unimaginable, and the saints will definitely hold him accountable.
Mai Zhongcai pulled out his knife and was about to rush in, at this moment, there was a large number of hurried footsteps behind him, Mai Zhongcai turned around, only to see a dense crowd of soldiers rushing towards this side, he recognized it as a soldier of the Xiaoguo Army, his heart was overjoyed, and he roared: "Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, give me a stand!" ”
Seeing that the situation was still under control, Yang Tong breathed a sigh of relief and ordered his subordinates: "Block the north gate, don't allow the displaced people to come out, and those who resist will be killed!" ”
