Chapter 276: Retreat Emerges
The figure is a bit of a rich costume village god. \, 0m//The face is happy. Oh, the grapes were put in his mouth, he took the silk handkerchief presented by the servant, wiped it casually, and said sideways to the person next to him: "Brother He, several masters and real people are here, should we also go over to greet them."
The person surnamed He next to him is a fat man with round meat, the fat on his face is like fermented steamed buns, if it looks like a mountain of meat from a distance, although there are servants to lead the wind and shake the fan, but he can't stand the hot weather, his face is full of greasy sweat, and the placket of his chest and back has been soaked in several places.
wiped the oil sweat on his face with a semi-wet silk handkerchief, a luxurious Ayara, the fat man with a spoiled body twisted his body slightly, and the wide and thickened chair seemed to be unable to bear the weight, emitting a squeaky sound, which made others tremble, worried that the chair would suddenly fall apart and hurt the innocent.
It seemed that he had become accustomed to nature, and the fat man surnamed He moved up again nonchalantly, and after a while, he finally found a comfortable position to sit in, and sighed comfortably. waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, it's not too late to greet a few parents when they come." Kill two birds with one stone. ”
The person who proposed it seemed to understand the meaning of He Fatzi's words, and agreed with a slight smile, Bi Huan was the size of a fat man, usually out of breath after walking a few steps, and basically relied on servants to carry him when he went out, and now the hair was a little hotter than the fire, and it was still cooler in the shed, so he could avoid it as much as possible if he didn't go out to suffer.
Several other people in the shed obviously had this idea, and they responded as if they were weak, and just nodded to the monks and Taoists in the distance.
"Brother He is calculating. No wonder business is booming. ”
"That's nature. You may wish to recall the appearance of Brother He a few years ago, and then compare it with the present, you will know how Brother He "haired." ”
Fat people also seem to be more magnanimous, after all, their stomachs are bigger than ordinary people, and He Fat Man is obviously the same, and he doesn't care about others or jokes or sarcasm. took the dry towel handed by the servant, wiped the sweat off his body, let out a long breath, and said with a kind face: "I didn't think that this is the time, you brothers don't think about how to deal with it, and you are still in the mood to laugh at the little brother." I think everyone has it in their hearts. ”
What do you mean? Knowing that He Fatzi was not a tricky person, the taxi in the shed secretly thought about it, the so-called gathering of similar things. People are divided into groups, and those who can sit together today dare not say that they are all extremely smart people, but there are absolutely no stupid people.
"Brother He's intention, it is not that Fan, to summon everyone here, not to ask for rain, but to have some calculations."
"I don't know if I calculate or not, but everyone here is also psychologically clear." He Fatzi chuckled, his eyes that were so crowded with meat that he couldn't see a shrewd look flashed, and his voice was also lowered a little: "Thinking about your performance in the past few days, Fan" must not have much pain in his heart
。
Everyone in the pergola nodded secretly, in the past few days, people in the official office have come to borrow money and buy food, but they have all excused or perfunctory, and they have not cooperated at all, and they have changed places, I am afraid that their hearts are also full of anger.
"See the trick and dismantle it. It's rare that he can still force us to "buy and sell, if there is really anything, no matter how bad it is, we can accept it first, and go to private, what should we do." Relying on his deep background, someone said it unintentionally, but it didn't seem to be very tough, revealing a sense of weakness.
Food as the necessities of human life, is the most widely circulated commodity, affecting all aspects of society, especially in the famine years, food is not only related to life and death for the people, for the rulers, if the people lack food and starvation, it will cause chaos, after all, not only in the past dynasties, there are countless cases in this dynasty, so the laws and decrees of the previous dynasties clearly stipulate that merchants are prohibited from hoarding, and the light ones are imprisoned, and the heavy ones are punished with capital punishment.
It is not that these people are unaware of the consequences of hoarding, but although they do not know Das Kapital, they do not know that 100 per cent profit will make people defy all laws, even crimes, and not be afraid of the dangers of hanging their heads. But they did follow through on this wise saying.
Moreover, the law prohibits merchants from hoarding Juqi, but they are not lowly merchants, but famous townsmen and big landlords in Hangzhou and even in Lianglu Road, aside from their own fame, the background forces behind them can be said to be intertwined in the local area, and some people can even speak in the imperial court. Therefore, knowing what tricks these people were playing, the officials could only politely come to the door to ask for money to buy food, and did not dare to forcibly collect it.
Although the confidence is very strong. The background is deep, and ordinary people don't dare to provoke it, but everyone present is still a little uneasy in their hearts, after all, Fan Zhongyan is not an ordinary person, not to mention that he is famous all over the world, even if he is denied now, but he has been operating in the court for many years, and his network prestige is still there. Who dares to underestimate it.
"It's hard to say, people are too guarded, who dares to disobey orders." Someone said, the tone showed a sarcastic sting, but there was a cowardice in his bones.
"Brother is reasonable, as the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, even if we can go against the yin for a while, in the end the officials get angry, and we are the ones who suffer."
If it were replaced by other officials, everyone would not care so much, but Fan Zhongyan's reputation is too much, and he has the experience of serving two terms as the governor of Hangzhou, and everyone present has long understood Fan Zhongyan's methods.
For a while, many people in the shed were drumming in their hearts, wondering whether they should take the initiative to cooperate with the work of the government, but when they thought of the upcoming profits, which were glittering money, they felt a pain in their hearts and immediately hesitated.
"Actually, you don't need to panic, this is just speculation, and it may not be the case." He Fatzi said happily, he was not nervous at all, there seemed to be a hint of schadenfreude, and this is indeed the case, everyone knows that He Fatzi is a wealthy wealthy man in Hangzhou, but he is in the tea and porcelain business, and the hoarding of food has nothing to do with him at all.
Maybe from another point of view, the fat man is also cautious, people just make fun of him for a few words, and then he retaliates back in a blink of an eye, and throws out a discussion that he doesn't know whether it's true or false, which suddenly makes many people feel restless. wondering if he would take advantage of Fan Zhong's drowning. Hurry up and grease the soles of your shoes, lest you stay in front of everyone
It is not to blame that they listen to and believe partially, the main reason is that the current situation does not allow them to think too much, the lack of food in the city has been well known, and these days the officials have lived in the rich families in the city, but the harvest is very small, and the people are smart; The more I think about it, imagine if I take the opportunity to make some excessive demands in front of thousands of people. Can you be cheeky and refuse?
The answer is naturally no, the tree wants bark, the person wants the face, in front of the old folks, especially many people are close neighbors who know the roots, who is embarrassed not to agree? Even if someone really tears their skin and puts everything out, I'm afraid they will have to live the life that Qianfu refers to in the future.
These people are uneasy, but they are all moody characters, and their expressions are still very indifferent. Naturally, no one could see that in the eyes of others, they were still enjoying themselves comfortably, and thinking of their exposure to the scorching sun, their skin was burning, sweating like rain, and they felt that even the blood in their bodies would be evaporated, and the feeling of indignation was still born.
Only, the shelf is really big, and when the adults came, they didn't even have the meaning of getting up to greet them, and they clearly didn't put the adults in their eyes, and they were really unexpected. "This is not provocation, but the emotion of a good old man. But seeing Qiantang Liu Renzhi, Master Liu sighed slightly, turned sideways and said to Chu Qian, and a boundless resentment emerged from his words.
can make Liu Renzhi, who is usually plain and graceful, say such mean words. Obviously, he is angry in his heart, and he can't do it if he doesn't complain. If it's you, running errands for a few days in a row, your mouth is about to wear out, and there is no effect at all, of course, you have to let people vent your anger.
And when the monks and Taoist priests entered, after a while, they were followed by several lords of Qiantang County and a group of yacha who hugged each other, but at this time, the officials in the pergola were in a trance, and they didn't pay attention, or they didn't come to take care of their faces.
Glancing at the pergola, Chu Zhi chuckled, seemed to be in a good mood, and did not say anything, and walked straight towards the vicinity of the altar, several state officials hurriedly greeted him, and Liu Renzhi, who was present and wanted to complain a few words, was silent.
As the head of a county. Chu Zhen still has some privileges, of course, it is impossible to stand and squeeze like the ordinary people around, under the guidance of the officials, he came to a seat with a curtain and sat down, there are several cold desserts and fruits and melons on the table, and the chair made of bamboo, grass and rattan is not easy to heat, after sitting down, I feel a little cool.
"Master Liu has really worked hard these days, it's not worth being a little angry." A. The words were vague. Divided a piece of sweet melon in front of Liu Renzhi, Chu Zhi smiled and said: "Anger hurts the body, taste this melon, I heard that it was shipped from overseas, but it can defeat the fire and clear the heart." ”
In the Song Dynasty, there was no ban on the sea, and it can be said that it was the most prosperous era of overseas trade, and Mingzhou, which was close to Hangzhou, had a city shipping department to manage it, but the traffic was not smooth in ancient times, and things like fruits and melons were not easy to preserve. But the building near the water has the first month, and the water transportation in the south of the Yangtze River is more developed, and it is not surprising that some fresh fruits and vegetables appear in Hangzhou, after all, there is a precedent for this kind of thing, and the allusion of riding the red dust concubine laughs tells the world, as long as you have me in your heart, the end of the world is not a distance.
couldn't resist Chu Zhi's enthusiasm, and the aroma of the sweet flesh was particularly attractive, so Liu Renzhi pushed it halfway down. Naturally, he would not refuse the kindness of Shangguan and act according to his words. The reason why melons are called melons is not only crispy in the mouth. And the juice is slightly sweet, and when you chew it slightly, it immediately turns into a clear jin and melts into the throat. It was endlessly memorable, and even Chu Zhi couldn't help but eat two more slices, but he didn't know the specific name of this melon.
Relatively. Chu Zhen can be regarded as well-informed, and if he talks about his knowledge, he does not dare to claim to be the first in the world, but at least he is not inferior to anyone else, and he is longer than the new century. The Internet, television, and media are everywhere. The useful or useless information that is forced to be accepted every day can be counted in tens of thousands, and although I have not tasted every fruit in the world, I have heard more or less about it.
Let's be honest, though. In ancient times, the doctrine of bringing was prevalent, and it was said that it had a broad heart of inclusiveness, and as long as it was a good thing, it was introduced and improved. Finally become your own, after a few hundred years. After several degrees of hybridization, it has long been unrecognizable, and it is normal for Chu to not know it.
took out a silk scarf and wiped his hands stained with juice, the corners of Chu Zhi's mouth flashed with a smile, since the day the drought came, the mood was rarely as relaxed as today, if he knew that the imperial examination was so easy, he should not have taken the exam so early, and he was tired of being an official, and it was not too late to get away for a few years.
Fortunately, Chu Zhen's lack of flat thoughts was not publicized, otherwise it would definitely cause public outrage, but this kind of psychological Chu Zhen was just thinking about it, after all, he also understood that if it wasn't for luck and He Shi's help. Don't talk about being admitted to the Jinshi, I'm afraid I won't even be able to pass the tribute test.
Fortunately, after a few busy days, I should be able to relax in the future, and when the time comes," Bai Jinyu's pretty figure came to mind, and Chu Zhen hadn't had time to get drunk, but he heard an uproar nearby. There was no need to be reminded by others, Chu Zhen naturally looked sideways, but it was Fan Zhongyan and the state officials who arrived in a sedan car.
If someone pays close attention, it can be found that this time not only the officials of the city, the state and county officials, but also the county officials under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou also showed their faces, this kind of Hangzhou bureaucracy is not so easy to see.
Reminders. This suddenly made some of the apprehensive Shi Zhong even more uneasy, and the steps that originally wanted to go to greet him immediately slowed down a little, and a few people even subconsciously took a few steps back, to get to the point of death, anyway, this place is so lively and chaotic, as long as they blend into the crowd and quietly escape, they will definitely not be discovered.
The Zhongyuan Festival is more popular than the West Lake event, and the party held is in the spacious suburbs of the city, and the people who come are like gathering, at this time the streets and alleys in the city are already empty, and here is bustling, shoulder to shoulder scene, fortunately, there are officials to maintain order, some officials from time to time to guide, otherwise it is not a garbish can be described.
"Bang, bang, bang" several gongs shook the sky, and the people gradually quieted down, and then the master of ceremonies on the stage hurriedly opened his throat and shouted, pulling a few familiar nonsense, on behalf of the people to greet their parents and officials. After the remembrance of the ancestors was completed, it had been half an hour, and finally the official start of the Water Courtyard Festival was announced under the impatient eyes of the people.
