Chapter 29 Weishui does not wash the mouth
Of course, the money given by each family is not the five-baht coin of the former Han Dynasty, which has been banned from use, but the latest legal tender "cargo cloth" of this dynasty.
This cloth imitates the cloth coins of the Zhou Dynasty, not the Kong Fang brothers commonly seen on TV, but it is angular and looks like a shovel head. It is two inches and five minutes long, one inch wide, its text is a hanging needle seal, the right is said to be "goods" and the left is said to be "cloth", it looks quite exquisite. It weighs 25 baht, which is equivalent to 25 small amounts of goods.
The fifth Lun asked people to collect the money given by each family, and put the "living expenses" given to him by the fifth tyrant, 20,000 yuan.
A total of 80,000 yuan, which is 3,200 goods springs, is enough to sink.
Wu Lun grabbed a few pieces of goods, touched the hanging needle seal on it, and said with emotion: "Brothers and sisters of the Kun Father gave me money, because Chang'an City is different from the county, everything must be traded with money and silk, otherwise it will be a violation of the law and will go to serve in Zhongguan." You are afraid that I will be alone as a lang, and the money and silk will be useless, and raising my hand to touch the ban will also make the Lang officials and colleagues in other counties laugh. ”
"But I also know that this money is not easy to come by."
Fifth Lun Dao: "The imperial court compares people in August every year and checks the household registration. Those who are more than 15 people must pay 120 yuan per person, which is calculated; And those between the ages of seven and fourteen pay 23 yuan each. In total, a family of five to eight must scrape together hundreds of thousands of dollars every year, and they cannot pay for the grain, so they can only take out their own grain and cloth to trade in the market. ”
Because the fourth is here, the fifth Lun does not criticize the profiteers for pressing the price of grain to make huge profits, but only said: "In recent years, taxes have been impermanent, and many people have to serve the government to pay for them because they can't make up the money." or was sent to Xihai County to fight against Zhuqiang, or pulled a grain cart to the northern Xiongnu. Uprooted from home, the cold and heat invaded, and things often passed away. ”
There are such people in everyone, and it is not only the heads of various families who come to see off the fifth lun, but also some ordinary people who watch the excitement.
Speaking of this, Wu Lun actually threw the money in his hand back into the car, and clanged: "So the clan people in Linqu Township are more short of money than me!" I can't afford to eat and eat less, and my clothes will wear out, but you will have to pay with your life if you lack money! ”
In the previous dynasty, Bao Xuan had seven deaths and seven deaths, two of which were county officials who collected more taxes many times a year; the third death is for the greedy officials to extort bribes; The five deaths were the time when the harsh officials frequently levied and sent forced labor, so that the people lost their farming.
The situation of the new dynasty has not improved, and under the threat of three deaths, ordinary people's annual money is not enough, not to mention Wang Mang's monetary reform at every turn, which has caused heavy losses to the families who have been preparing for disasters. Eat a trench to grow a wisdom, so everyone can only temporarily raise money, if it is not enough, they can only find large borrowers to borrow usury.
The fifth Lun inquired, Hongo's favorite loan on credit Haoyou, is the first clan! The interest rate is not high, only twenty or thirty percent, but the fifth Lun even has to plane this little bit of interest for his family!
After saying the fifth, he asked people to divide the 80,000 yuan into two, put 40,000 yuan in their own cars, and let them carry the other 40,000 yuan in front of the heads of each family.
He stepped forward and beckoned to them, "Since this money is funded by Father Kun's brothers, why don't we get together and call it 'righteous money', and leave it to my eldest father for safekeeping!" ”
"Like Yicang, the money is lent to those who are unable to make up the money because of the year's disaster. But unlike Yicang, it is not limited to the fifth mile, from the third to the eighth family, you can write a deed by the patriarch and come to my house to borrow money. Wait until the most difficult season to pay it back, no interest will be charged! No interest! No interest! ”
He emphasized it three times in a loud voice, and as soon as this remark came out, before the patriarchs could express their attitude, the ordinary tenant farmers who were watching were stunned for a moment, and then cheered loudly.
"Fifth Langjun Gaoyi!"
The voice was too high and fast, and the heads of the various families looked at each other, a little unexpected.
Because it is also mixed with the money of the fifth mile, it is not all "generous to others", but they occasionally lend money for profit. However, if you think about it carefully, since the promulgation of Wang Tian's private order, it is indeed difficult for Xiao Haoqiang to force the indebted farmers to sell their fields and become slaves through credit loans, and the damage to the interests of each family is not too great.
What's more, by doing so, the fifth Lun occupies the righteousness of the clan gang, and whoever opposes it will be spurned by the clansmen.
So the heads of the families could only force a smile and happily agreed, saying that there was a fifth tyrant to preside, and they all believed that this "righteous money" could be fair and just and benefit the township.
However, the eighth straight was even more shocked by the fifth Lun, and only pulled the eighth correction when he was leaving: "You go to Chang'an with Boyu, he is a Lang official, you go to Taixue, although there are some miles apart, but you still have to move around more, don't fade the friendship!" ”
The eighth is inexplicable, don't you think it's taken for granted? After all, he has been quite an admirer of Fifth Lun recently, and even if he is a few years older than him, he is willing to attach his tail.
After his son and the fifth Lun left in the car one after another, the eighth straight put down his hand, patted the fourth Xian behind his back, and said in a low voice: "I also said before that when the children are in charge, the eighth clan will look up to the fifth clan's snort." ”
"But now it seems, why wait for us to wait a hundred years from now! From today on, not only the eighth clan, but also the first of Linqu Township, will be in the north to do things in the fifth lun! ”
……
A mere 40,000 yuan, but it can make the fifth clan a well-deserved leader of the whole township, and can strike a hard blow to the first clan, this transaction is undoubtedly a huge profit.
And the annual levy is in August, and this year has been collected, during this period of nearly a year, the righteous money will not be moved, do not worry about being borrowed in an instant. You can even take it out to do some business first, and the fifth Lun has time to whirlwind.
Coincidentally, in the morning, dozens of chivalrous and evil teenagers who wanted to go to the Fifth Clan as guests for a leisure meal but were rejected had just preached in Lilu with righteous indignation: "Fifth Lun is a fake chivalry, and he still breaks a strong bow? Now for a few buckets of food, he refuses to defect to our knights. ”
As a result, he was slapped in the face in the afternoon, and hundreds of elated people ran home, preaching the matter of righteous money everywhere, shouting: "The fifth Boyu is righteous." ”
The voice of the majority of the working proletariat still prevailed over a small number of lumpenproletarians.
So in addition to filial piety, the "benevolence and righteousness" of the fifth Lun has finally become the consensus of everyone.
When the fifth lun left his hometown and went south to Chang'an, a catchy nickname also spread in Changling County and even Lieutenant County.
"Filial piety Gochiro!"
……
"Boyu is finally here."
Ten miles southwest of Linqu Township, Lanchi Palace, Jing Dan saw the carriage and horses of the Fifth Lun family, and when they went to formally thank Zhang Zhan a few days ago, they made an appointment to go south together.
"Brother Sun Qing has been waiting for a long time, and the villagers have sent each other off, and it has been delayed for too long."
Fifth Lun hurriedly confessed and asked Eighth Jiao to visit Jing Dan, only to find out that Wang Long, the "literary idiot" of Wang Yuan's family, Marquis of Qiongcheng, was also there, and his family's carriages and horses were more than that of himself and Jing Dan combined.
But Wang Long was still in that stunned appearance, sitting upright in the car, looking at the stones in Weishui and distracted, probably thinking about the new words and sentences again, and the fifth Lun shouted twice before he reacted.
After meeting Wang Long a few times, Jing Dan already knew his temperament, and only smiled: "Wenshan doesn't matter in front of us, but when you enter Beijing, you meet hundreds of people who are the same people as our husbands, and even Shangguan Gongfu, you look like this, it is easy to offend people." ”
Wang Long was a little embarrassed, he didn't want to be normal when he was in the article, and pointed to the abandoned garden palace in front of him and said: "It's just touching the scene, this Lanchi Palace is the Qin Shi Huang when the Weishui was a pool, two hundred miles from east to west, twenty miles from north to south, the soil is Penglai, the carved stone is a whale, two hundred zhang long, how magnificent it was back then." Now after the war and flood, the stone whale is broken, and only a tail is left on the water, and I can't see the whole picture, and I can't help but sigh. ”
The eighth Jiao frowned slightly after hearing this, he also read, but he didn't have the petty feelings of a literati, he only shook his head and said, "What's the use of magnificence?" Qin Shi Huang launched labor, transported stones and springs, dug water for the pond garden, just to satisfy his own desires, and also spread a folk song, Weishui does not wash his mouth! The Han family diverted water to become a national canal, irrigated thousands of hectares, benefited future generations for a hundred years, and made a judgment. ”
One is a literati, the other is a mellow Confucian, the same scenery is reflected in the eyes, but the things are different. However, this praise of the former Han is true, but it cannot be said nonsense, the fifth Lun glared at the eighth correction, and asked him to find his position, don't make trouble in Taixue.
Wang Long didn't like to fight, and he didn't argue, he just bowed his head silently, and then said: "Xiao Yan doesn't want to go with us?" ”
Wang Wenshan was stunned again, didn't he ask knowingly? Xiao Yan, as a prince, has always been proud, plus he still holds a grudge against the fifth Lun's Houju Mountain, and he will not be in the same column with them, so he has already ridden and gone to Chang'an - but he forgot to mention that Wang Mang changed Chang'an from the previous dynasty to Chang'an, this time it is not an antonym but a homophonetic stalk, otherwise the name of Jingshi will become "short".
The four of them walked together and left the Lanchi Palace to set off, and the fifth Lun had never been here since he crossed, only feeling that the surrounding scenery was both familiar and unfamiliar.
By the time the sun set in the west, the Wei River had arrived.
The wide Weishui divides the Guanzhong Plain into two, and the canals on the Weibei Zhuling Plain are vertical and horizontal, and the trees in the vast fertile fields are yellow and lonely. Weinan sees the high wall of Chang'an City 30 miles away, the 106 smoke clouds are connected, there is the forbidden garden next to it, and there is still some green in the forest and Xuze.
And what connects the two sides of the strait is a long bridge like a rainbow, which is one of the three bridges of Weishui, also called Zhongwei Bridge. The stone beam wooden plank bridge, the bridge is 6 zhang wide, 380 steps long from north to south, it is the only way for Liewei County to go to Chang'an.
At this time, it was the evening market in Chang'an City, which should have been the most crowded time of the day on the cross bridge, but a group of soldiers with a head tied on their heads, a ring knife on their waists, and wearing armor stopped the pedestrians, carriages and horses crossing the bridge, making a long queue on both sides of the cross bridge, and they could only follow from afar.
Looking at this battle, I'm afraid that there are big people to go through.
Jing Dan came to Chang'an more often because of official business, and he was more knowledgeable, and said to everyone: "At least the four auxiliaries and three highways are crossed, or the prince's son and grandson, otherwise the road will not be cleared and the bridge will be blocked." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a huge team of chariots and horses on the other side of the river.
