A sudden scolding war struck several newspapers like a hurricane on the sea, which made Zhu Youzhen, the Chongzhen Emperor in the Qianqing Palace, and Li Shouhan, who was a little tired of running for Abatai, who was far away in Shandong.

The origin of the matter is in Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture.

After more than three years of construction, this leased land built on the reed beach on the Huangpu River has begun to take shape, and there are some prosperous places. The county town of Shanghai on the opposite side seems to have become a vassal of the trade zone. Along the city wall and on both sides of the Huangpu River, there are makeshift thatched huts and bamboo sheds, as well as materials such as bamboo and wood chips, which are known locally as rolling dragons. The land is full of beggars, the streets are full of homeless, and there are people dying of hunger everywhere. The streets and alleys are littered with garbage, vegetable leaves and ashes are all over the city, and countless people are waiting for the inspection on the other side of the river, boarding the sea ship as much as possible to find their destiny.

Unlike the homeless beggars, the people who come and go in the business area are almost always full of energy and ruddy faces.

The road connecting the wharf outside the business area is very smooth with cinders and gravel, and in order to make it stronger, careful craftsmen have mixed some lime ash into it, and the road from the wharf to the concession is as smooth as a stone. Although the road is wide enough for several horse-drawn carriages to walk side by side, it follows what the locals call "traffic rules".

Unlike the potholed streets of Shanghai, the streets in the business district are all paved with burnt ash. Clean, without the slightest sludge and fecal water, there are some bamboo baskets at the door of the shops on the side of the street on both sides of the street, which are used to hold garbage and other things, and there is a special sanitation bureau in the city to recruit those who are old and poor, especially the elderly, who regularly clean every day, collect garbage, and there are vendors who specialize in collecting garbage. Selling for profit.

Every morning, there are special night incense collectors pushing vehicles to collect the feces of each family. Sell them everywhere outside the district. These feces. Not to mention ordinary peasant households, even to the landlords and gentry, they are all treasures, and the children in the countryside have nothing to do. It's to go out and pick up manure. It's just that with the abandonment of farming. The flight of the people who fled. Abandoned wasteland, dung everywhere, no one has collected it for a long time.

The business area is clean and tidy. It is orderly and glamorous, and it is not inferior to the neighboring Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other famous cities in the world.

Because of the large-scale cultivation of cotton in Shandong, people in the neighborhood also saw a very strange business opportunity, which gave birth to ships that specialized in transporting manure to Shandong. On the one hand, these people received money from the households, and on the other hand, they could make a lot of money by selling the rice fields.

Based on the basic requirements of urban management, the city strictly enforces the rules that no open defecation is allowed, and cow dung and horse urine from passing cattle carts are not allowed to be sprinkled on the street at will. Although the streets in the business area are bustling with cars and horses, they can no longer see the filthy scene of the past, and the mules and horses pulling the carts and transporting goods also put a straw dung bag on their buttocks, and they will catch it when they are pulled down.

Of course, the cleanliness of the streets is mainly due to the strict management of the patrol house, to be precise, the credit of the fines. In our country, there has always been no shortage of very beautiful statutes and rules, but no matter how well they are said and how rigorously they are written, they still need people to implement them. Among the various means of enforcement, the simplest and most straightforward is the effective use of fines. In addition to fines, the patrol house also has a system that punishes the offender as a street punishment station and acts as a so-called collaborator until he catches the next violator. In the past few years, the foreign population in the trade zone, as well as the local population, except for those who have been stationed here from the Long Shengxing and the Nanyue army, if you have not been punished by the patrol house, you are embarrassed to say that you are an old man in the trade zone.

These fines, after being handed over to the treasury, will be allocated to the patrol house according to the proportion, which is about 60% of the total fine. After that, it will be distributed to the patrol in the form of a duty allowance to strengthen their motivation.

In this way, not only the funds for the patrol house are sufficient, but also the enthusiasm of the patrol and arrest is fully mobilized, especially the enthusiasm of a small part of the old officials, the old armor, the old army, etc., which also makes the resident population in the business area almost forced and successfully develop a good habit of paying attention to hygiene.

However, the roots of the turmoil also came from this.

"Phew!"

A mouthful of thick yellow and green phlegm was spit on the stepping stone of the road. A few people who had just had lunch at the food stall were talking and laughing before leaving. was blocked by two patrolmen with a wicked smile.

"Where are you going?! Spitting, fines! Punish! ”

Wearing a black hat and helmet, wearing a short blue armor, and a thick short stick hanging from his waist, the patrol took out a black leather book from the leather bag on his waist, "According to the management regulations, spitting, you need to pay a fine of ten copper yuan, and then cooperate in the same place until the next violator is captured!" ”

These patrols are also old fritters made by years of errand work, and a pair of eyes race the ruler in the carpenter's hand. Knowing the speech and demeanor of the law enforcement target, they will use a speed faster than a supercomputer to determine the identity of the other party hidden under their clothes, even if it is a homeless coolie dressed in a sack, they can also judge whether he is a new official disguised to check the food hygiene of the homeless people.

The five or six people in front of him, dressed in the same green cloth pants, looked fierce, and their faces were well-nourished. Although they did not carry weapons, at a glance they knew that these people must have been the guards brought by some wealthy merchant or a prince and grandson who traveled to the trade area.

Such people are generally not provoked by the patrols, but such people are also the objects they welcome, because they tend to take a calm attitude and come up with much more money than fines.

But today they miscalculated.

"What's it called! What fine?! ”

The leader of a family dressed as a family man habitually grinned, looking at the patrols in front of him with a sneer.

These family members are all veterans, and how many times have they been in and out of the pile of dead. There is no longer a sense of the law of normal society in their hearts, either they kill people or they are killed.

After a few words, the two sides quarreled.

From the restaurant on the side, the owner of this group of family guards looked at this scene with a frown.

"Waiter painting, go down and tell them, don't spoil Miss Li's interest for this little thing."

is singing and harmonizing with Li Xiangjun's poetry and wine, and the enthusiastic Hou Fangyu who is singing the wind and making the moon is gentle and gentle to tell the little guy.

The following family members were taken south from Guide Mansion to avoid chaos and brought to Nanjing to prepare for the examination. The Hou family's old friends and old department. Zuo Liangyu sent people to escort them to Nanjing along the way. Prevent being torn to pieces by hundreds of thousands of rogues and hungry people along the way on the way to Nanjing.

Since ancient times, talented people love beautiful women. What's more, it's Hou Fangyu, a self-proclaimed character with literary style?

After arriving in Nanjing, I saw the "old friends" in Nanjing. Those noble eunuchs are busy making a lot of money under the Jianghai joint defense system. He took a hole in it. swaggered into the name of the four sons of the Fushe Society in Jiangnan for a while, and entered the Meixiang Building in a grand manner.

Li Xiangjun is a girl who is literary and fresh. When encountering a genius-level figure like Hou Fangyu, how can he have resistance? It's love at first sight. took advantage of Li Lizhen's outing, and traveled to this business and trade area, which has always been known for its prosperity and beauty, with several Jiangnan talents. (Oh.) Shopping plus traveling? ）

But he didn't want his family to clash with these patrols in the trade area. The humiliation and fright by the Qinhuai River still made Hou Fangyu break out in a cold sweat every time he dreamed back at midnight. What's more, this beautiful woman next to her, although she and herself are exactly you and me at the moment, are in love with each other. But the little ** between his mother and Ning Yuanbo is clear to almost the entire Jiangnan Shilin. With Li Lizhen's popularity among the Jiangnan scholars at this time, if she knew that she was tantamount to abducting her daughter and making trouble, I was afraid that she would not look good.

Endure the ridicule of those patrols, the family of the Hou Mansion gave the patrolmen a silver dollar, which can be regarded as calming the matter.

However, with Hou Fangyu's arrogant heart and noble character, he was forced to be humiliated by Ning Yuanbo that day, how could he be humiliated by a group of soap servants? That night, when a few talented people from Xiajiang talked about what they had seen and heard today, and expressed their dissatisfaction with the businessmen and craftsmen sitting side by side with the scholars, it aroused the anger in his chest.

Sitting in the room of the Yipinxiang Inn, Li Xiangjun's personal maid came to deliver a message, saying that the girl invited the son to come over for dinner, and Hou Dacai was motionless, and his mind was full of the faces of the patrols and the city management during the day.

"How do you treat a scholar with a reputation like this?"

"Taizu's holy message, small people can fight corrupt officials. There are companies along the way who need to provide food and accommodation for carriages and horses, and you dare to be disrespectful to Emperor Taizu? ”

"That's right! Moreover, the laws and regulations of this place are set by the lord of this dynasty. You are a man who has read many books of sages in vain, and if you do not abide by the laws set by the Son of Heaven, you will be a person who has no father! ”

"Although we dare not speak of filial piety, we keep in mind the teachings of our father. This person can't even say the teachings of his father, he must be the son of great rebellion! Our contemporary monarchs teach such rebellious sons a lesson! Let him know that there is a great righteousness between heaven and earth! ”

In the past, Hou Fangyu and others used the way of the monarch and the saint to rob others, but today they were returned by others in their own way. How could this make him swallow this breath? At the moment, he ordered the scholar to lay paper grinding, and he was going to write what he had seen and heard in Shanghai County in the past few days and publish it in the Jiangnan Times, "It will also be a head start for the world!" Cheer and cheer for the people of the world! ”

"Childe, such a feat, how can you leave your concubine alone?"

I don't know when, Li Xiangjun's pretty figure stood at the desk. "Childe must know, if there is no permission from his mother, I am afraid that the words of the son will be like the two of them, and Luoyang paper will be expensive for a while, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to appear in the Jiangnan Times."

"So, what does the girl have to teach you?"

"As long as Brother Chao's splendid words can awaken the people of Jiangnan and make the court bigwigs face up to the situation, it is worth it for us to break the family!"

That night, several scholars who traveled to Shanghai County with Hou Fangyu were also impassioned, and in order to make Hou Dacaizi's brilliant masterpiece such as Huang Zhong Dalu reach the point of deafening, they would rather take out their silver to buy a page in the Jiangnan Times.

"At that time, the people took Jiangnan as prosperous and wealthy, and Jiangnan took Hangjiahu Su Songtai as the anointment. Nowadays, Shanghai County is recognized as a place of wealth and prosperity by the people of Jiangnan. However, the students seem. After prosperity and prosperity, it is the anointing blood of hundreds of millions of people! ”

Hou Fangyu's text imitates the half-literate and half-white style of the current Jiangnan Times, and such a literary mood can resonate.

"The prosperity of Shanghai starts from the business zone, but in the trade zone, there are cool officials rampant and oppressive. Outside the area, there are thatched cottages everywhere, and those with unkempt heads and dirty faces are waiting to be fed. When asked, they were all hungry and displaced people from all over the Yangtze River. ”

"The price of grain in Jiangnan. It is said that it is a person who is afraid to hope for the disaster in the Central Plains. Good white rice is only a few yuan a stone. From a dull point of view, there are more than 10,000 large and small ships on both sides of the Pujiang River, and if such ships transport grain and rice to various places. Why am I afraid of natural disasters? Why are people everywhere in danger of starvation? However, the boatman told him. The ship of our generation. They can only go out of Wusongkou and sell grain, rice and cloth along the river in Chongming, Hangzhou Bay and other places. This move is all caused by the so-called Jianghai Joint Defense Agreement! ”

The voices of several scholars spread in the courtyard of the Yipinxiang Inn, and with this voice. Hou Fangyu's words were also passed on to the ears of the residents.

"Which genius did this? It's really deafening! I took the risk of drinking with this, and it was white! ”

Across the courtyard, a man shouted excitedly.

Two of the four sons of the Restoration Society met on this.

However, at this time, there is no Dong Xiaowan, who has created jobs for countless historians and third-rate fiction writers, by his side.

"My generation of the society, should follow the example of our predecessors Donglin, take the family and the country as their own responsibility, the so-called family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, and everything cares. Since he asked for the people's life, he abolished the Jianghai Joint Defense Agreement and transported grain and rice to all parts of Daming to feed the victims who were waiting to be fed. ”

In the future, both of them will rely on women to leave a great name in history, pointing out the characters at the desk. (It seems that these two are not only remembered because of women, but also seem to be inferior to women in terms of discipline and other aspects.) ）

"Since Brother Chaozong is the first to open up the atmosphere, he naturally wants to follow Jiwei. I also have to make a clumsy text to advocate for the Chao Sect brothers! ”

Taking the liberty is also doing what it says. A few days later, a text full of humanistic feelings also appeared on the page of Jiangnan Times.

"Yu traveled from Shanghai County, and often had a sense of heaven and earth. Adjacent to each other, a stone's throw away, the riverside outside Shanghai County, and the business district one step away. However, it makes Yu have great confusion, and there is often a feeling that the paradise of the rooftop has fallen into the mortal world. In the business area, the roads are wide and open, and the houses are clean and tidy. However, as soon as you go out of the business area, on the riverside, you can see the residence of the homeless, and it is suddenly dumbfounded. ”

Mao Bijiang describes in great detail the living conditions of the displaced people waiting for screening and physical examination outside the business area, and the rolling dragon houses that are ventilated on all sides and can barely shelter from the rain and snow.

Clothes can only be said to barely cover the body, barely play a role in keeping warm, as for the fit, style, beauty and other requirements, no one considers at all. Both women and men were almost exactly the same style and size, and textiles woven from a mixture of jute and cotton produced the almost uniform clothing of these displaced people.

The food is not as good as pig and dog food. The vegetables are not fresh, and they are cut indiscriminately and then processed in the pot. Cooked hastily, it becomes a dish on the table. The staple food is porridge and rice made from very poor quality aged rice. The pork fat used for stir-frying is stinky, and occasionally some salted fish and marinated meat are also lean, old and hard, and I don't know when the meat was made. The impostor even worries that people will be poisoned if they eat these things.

The most painful thing for Mao Bijiang is that in the trade area, all kinds of phenomena, the saint is bound to cry under the nine springs when he sees them. The word Lizi, which should be ashamed of the world's exports, is almost commonplace in this so-called commercial area full of copper smell.

On the Qinhuai River, if you get along with a certain Qinglou woman, it is bound to be that the comprehensive index of character, reputation, poetry, songs, appearance, and demeanor can meet the standard, and then you can get into the eyes of the girl, and then a lot of silver will be sprinkled down, and it will be possible to kiss Fangze.

However, in this business area, as long as there is the help of Brother Kong Fang and Zhao Gongming, any Qinglou woman can use Shi Ran to extinguish the candle and stay in the guest, so that the guests can experience the fun of wanting to die.

The two geniuses echoed each other in the newspapers, criticizing the business zone. In Hou Fangyu's pen, he directly blamed the so-called Jianghai Joint Defense Agreement and customs tariffs on the excessively high grain prices in the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains, the fact that the people were living in dire straits, and that the strong were thieves and the old and weak were filling in the ravines.

"In Shanghai, there is almost nothing that is not taxed, and there is not a single ship on the river and the sea that does not fly the flag of customs concession trade. Alack! None of the laws made by Emperor Taizu has survived to the world. Yu is very suspicious, what kind of land is Shanghai County today? Under whom? Am I a big Mingye? Ning Yuan Boye? Or is it something else that is not humane? ”

The scolding war caused by a mouthful of phlegm from all sides has begun.

For a time, because Hou Fangyu's brilliant masterpiece pointed the spearhead directly to the common interests of the Guangdong army and the Nanjing Xungui clique -- the cooperation between the rivers and seas -- and the vital interests with the emperor -- the customs tariff system, and caused an uproar.

All forces, all kinds of characters, have jumped on the stage to do a show. Its fierce process is no less than the war in Liaodong, Shandong, and Henan at this moment. (To be continued......)
