Chapter 15: Fighting the Society
"Hey!" Li Zhengmao was also drunk, he was just currying favor with Li Xiangqian, so he made a threat, but he didn't expect this young man to be so disobedient, it was crazy.
"Enough, come on," Li Zhengmao shouted, beckoning his men to come down, although he couldn't beat Li Xiangqian's people, but he couldn't beat these ** silks who beat the club, "Arrest all these foxes and dogs who trespassed on the yamen." ”
The leader of the Nada Society and others were ignorant at that time, in this era, the authority of the government was continuously overthrown, and various movements with "tax resistance" as the core rose one after another, and finally in various cities, large households did not pay taxes, so all kinds of miscellaneous taxes were passed on to small households, but the society could still continue to operate well, nothing more than Fan Jinzhongju, who threw himself into the slave of a certain gentry, so he could obtain the right to be exempt from taxes.
This is one of the reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty, the gentry control everything, the regime has no influence, the leader of the club is a stunned young man, and he has been rampant since he was a child, and it is common to smash official errands, and every time there is a "protective umbrella" to protect it, but he has never been directly and fiercely glared at by a person at the level of the mayor of the imperial capital like Fu Yin, a little scared, and looked at Hou Fangyu next to him, hoping to get shelter.
Hou Fangyu, a child, is completely stupid when it comes to real things, as if he can attack other people as traitors, but when it comes to Duoduo's siege, he is the first to run away.
Now he also coaxed, and moved a few steps towards Qian Qianyi, after all, Li Xiangjun and Liu Ru, whom he knew well, were both talented women of Qin Huai, and they were quite familiar, so they still had some friendship with Qian Qianyi, at this time, they needed to ask for shelter, how dare they stand up for that thug, anyway, in this era, there are many homeless people living in shacks outside the city, so naturally they don't worry about calling new thugs.
The government wants to deal with the gangsters, it's too easy, after all, it is a licensed hooligan bullying an unlicensed hooligan, before there was Hou Fangyu, a famous man in the city, in the back, and the people in front of the Yin Yamen of the government, I don't know what happened behind, I understand that this is a game of self-dumping by these scholars, for the sake of money, I howled a few words, and retreated, but I was not afraid of these clubs.
Now, since they have received the order of Lord Fu Yin, they are not welcome, holding weapons, and began to push those thugs who beat the club, and went to the outer courtyard, in front of these nobles, it is naturally not good to use any black hands, you know, those who can be mixed in the "civil servants" of soap, catch, fast, and strong classes, these are all ancient city management, and they are the most spicy.
Looking at their appearance, Li Xiangqian was irritable for a while, he could see that the present in front of him showed that Jiangnan in this era, although relying on foreign trade and rich agricultural production to maintain the prosperity on the surface, but the upper and lower layers are actually extremely torn and discordant, this tear and discord was finally interrupted by the invaders from the black land, and the people were killed, and naturally there was no discord, but now if they want to start managing everything, they will have to face such a complex public situation, which can be said to be very difficult to decide.
In the past, in the army, at most, there were only about 100 people, and they had done their best, but now, because there is basically no large-scale armed conflict and massacre, basically more than 100 million people will be managed by them, and it just so happens that they are in a situation where they are in an untrustworthy bureaucracy and a chaotic external environment.
He shouted, "Slow, let them come." ”
His words were very sudden, and after hearing the words, the officials were stunned at first, but these words were said by the nobles sitting at the table, and even the palace Yin had to serve carefully, although he did not let go immediately, but they all stopped.
Li Zhengmao glanced at it and said, "If you still don't obey orders, this noble man wants to ask you." ”
The leader of the club was a little ignorant, and walked over slowly, although he didn't know these people, he also knew that their identities were not simple, and suddenly knelt down and said, "The grass people have seen the master." ”
Li Xiangqian just wanted to wave his hand and say, don't kneel, but I remembered that in the official biography of Ah Q that I had read, after Ah Q was arrested and taken to the county yamen, the so-called revolutionary party also said hypocritically, don't kneel.
Sure enough, it's looping.
Thinking of this, he didn't hypocritically tell him not to kneel, but said: "Get up quickly, answer slowly, what's your name." ”
Although this person spoke "Wu language", it was quite clear, and he replied: "Master, the grass people are called Sun Datou. ”
nodded, and said very kindly: "Well, big head, how did you mix it up, being a horse boy for people, being a thug, there is no other way to make a living." ”
Sun Datou didn't seem to understand the meaning of what Li Xiangqian said, and after standing up, he said: "Master, I only have this craft, and I have eaten like this since I was a child." ”
Craft......
But it's true that fighting and brawling doesn't seem to have technical content, that's because human beings have entered a productive society, in ancient times, human beings were the top three fighting creatures on land, and they were very knowledgeable with punches and kicks.
Sun Datou's demeanor was very similar to Li Xiangqian's new enlistment, a very tiger-like comrade-in-arms in Guangxi, so he also had some compassion, and said comfortingly: "It's good to eat mixed rice, how about it, how much silver can you get for such a vote, tell me, I'll see if it's worth it." ”
Although Sun Datou didn't understand, he still habitually looked at the "employer" Hou Fangyu, Hou Fangyu had a look of "it's none of my business, it's none of my business", and shrunk his eggs, Sun Datou would not be fake, he was hesitant, he didn't dare to say, but he couldn't lie, so he could only bow his head and be silent.
Li Xiangqian said: "Okay, more or less than a hundred taels of silver." ”
Sun Datou said hesitantly: "A little less." ”
"Eighty taels."
"Less."
"Eighty taels is not there, what about sixty taels."
This time, Sun Datou finally nodded, as if confirming the price.
Dignitaries are so desperate, but only spent sixty taels, this is more than a dozen men in the prime of life, directly impacting the Yin Yamen, as long as such a little money, according to the current prices, in this Dragon Boat Festival when the green and yellow are not connected, a tael of silver can probably be exchanged for 1500 Wen, and the price of the Ming Dynasty, taking the imperial capital as an example, a bucket of millet will cost 50 Wenyuan, or the old grain of previous years, as for those wheat and rice, it is more expensive, and the so-called grain-producing areas, the prices in Jiangnan are not optimistic, when the green and yellow are not connected, the price of grain in Jiangnan, Due to the soaring prices, it will rise to a high price of 100 wen a bucket, which is not a low price, even now, the price of grain in Jiangnan is 50 wen a bucket of rice.
Theoretically, the salary of this fight is not high, it is equivalent to 1,800 buckets of rice, which is calculated as about 12 catties of rice for a bucket of rice, but more than 20,000 yuan is nearly rice, and according to the price of Li Xiangqian's time, it is 50,000 yuan.
