Chapter 174 The Edict of Confucianism Destroys the Heavenly Opportunity

After more than two months of renovation, the royal street of Lin'an City has been paved with cement, in the process of renovation, many unemployed displaced people were employed by Lin'an Prefecture, the total number of people is about 600 people, so although the project is not small, but the progress is faster. The road is more than three zhang wide, and the underground ditches on both sides are dug to connect with the rest of the sewers in Lin'an, and there is a covered culvert every twenty zhang or so, which is convenient for drainage in heavy rains. On both sides of the road, there are also flower beds with bricks and cement separating the road from the carriage road, and there are flowers and trees planted inside—the students who have been to Liuqiu are a little kind of to this kind of street. In the middle of the street is the Heavenly Imperial Road, which ordinary people are not allowed to walk on at will, so it is separated by white paint that is not easy to fade.

"Chen Yisheng, do you think what is said in "Jinghua Strange News" is reasonable?"

It was Shi Liang Shizifang who spoke, and his expression was extremely annoyed, as if someone owed him money but wanted to pay it back.

"The examples cited above are all from detailed sources, and the analogy is not a fake." Chen Anping sighed and said with a wry smile: "The official family respects the learning of the ancestors, and I only govern the country with the learning of the ancestors, and I am the wealth of the people and the country, but I never thought that there would be such a thing...... Alas, it is true that the machinery used in Liuqiu is all ingenious, and the use of one machine can save the strength of ten people, and the ten people in this province will have no livelihood...... Alas! ”

"Look, look!"

With them, Li Shi suddenly grabbed the two of them and pointed to a road in front of them.

There is a foreign goods shop, specializing in the sale of goods, in addition to the general use of life, but also sell some small equipment, but can add a lot of convenience to people. In the past, the business of this shop was good, but today although it is crowded with people, they are all loitering and watching the excitement, and another group of people are noisy in front of the shop, if it is not for a few men who are guarding the front of the shop, I am afraid that this group of people will break in.

"This is the fifth." Shi Liang clenched his fists and said.

The situation made them feel very strange, these people gathered around the shop spontaneously, they either read the tabloid called "Jinghua Strange News" in person, or heard someone read the article in the newspaper, so they came. The people who quarreled with the shops were the craftsmen whose livelihoods were affected by the flow of goods, including blacksmiths, carpenters, and weavers. The person guarding the shop looked a little embarrassed, they were originally wanderers in the neighborhood here, but now they are doing the work of a government official, because of Huo Chongcheng's strict orders.

The three of them did not stop, because they had already heard similar quarrels in other places, and the three of them looked a little uneasy, and hurried to Taixue.

The most worrying thing is Taixue, the students of the Song Dynasty have the habit of asking for their lives for the people, in May last year, they just had a trouble with Deng Ruoshui, and if someone climbs the heights and shouts this year, it is not impossible to make a fuss again. If that is the case, then things will be out of control.

When they arrived at Taixue, as they expected, almost all the Taixue students living in Lin'an rushed back to Guozijian, and hundreds of people gathered in one place and were talking loudly. However, since Xie Yue went to Liuqiu and Li Shimin went to Chuzhou, Zhao Jingyun became the only recognized leader among the students of Lin'antai, but in this case, he did not appear.

These days, Chen Anping and the three of them have also made a name for themselves in Taixue, and everyone knows that they support Liuqiu, so when they see the three of them coming, they have a good relationship with the three of them, and they all look at each other angrily.

"National thief!" I don't know who shouted in the crowd.

Originally, the three of them were in a very bad mood, and they were even more gloomy by this shout. As soon as their momentum weakened, those who had a grudge against them immediately jumped out: "The Son of Heaven was deceived by such a national thief, so that he opened the country widely, and made the flow of strange skills and ingenious things wreak havoc in my Great Song Dynasty!" ”

"Exactly, it is exactly what it is, it will ruin my customs, change my clothes, and damage my livelihood...... "Someone shouted.

"We are so grateful to the country that we should ask for the people's lives!" And then there is humanity.

Seeing that everyone was getting closer and closer, Chen Anping stood still although his face was pale.

In the Jigu Hall, Zhao Heju sighed and shook his head: "So far, what's the use of punishing you?" ”

He believed that Wei Liweng himself would not take the initiative to divulge the contents of the booklet, and that now was not the time to hold him accountable.

After a pause, he said again: "Wei Qing, what about your disciple Zhao Jingyun?" ”

"This volume is a lost biography from the ministers, and it has nothing to do with Manqing." Wei Wenton said.

"I'm either going to ask him for guilt, or I'm going to ask for guilt, and I have to pass this pass first!" Zhao Youju sneered: "You came to the palace from the house, naturally you don't know it, now in Lin'an City, there is trouble everywhere, and those people who think that they are being impacted by the flow of goods are now besieging the shops that sell the goods of the flow of goods." There are not enough servants in Lin'an Mansion, and even the wanderers in the neighborhood have been arrested to maintain order, so as not to be killed or injured - it is good that these wanderers can control themselves, who knows how long they can endure without taking advantage of the fire and robbery! ”

Wei Liaoweng was stunned for a moment, and then he was terrified, because he immediately remembered the students in the Guozi Prison. This group of people is the most strong-blooded and the most easily instigated, and if they really rise up and admonish, then a storm will inevitably turn into a storm.

"Those are too students...... I can't wait to send more to beg for a better chance of seeing what is going on overseas! Zhao Heju gritted his teeth, although the students were patriotic and moved, but their actions were clearly benefited by some people who may not be patriotic.

Thinking of this, Zhao and Ju gradually calmed down from the anger they received the news. Since Huo Chongcheng came to this news, he immediately ordered Yu Tianxi to send an errand officer, and Huo Chongcheng mobilized all the wanderers who could be controlled to maintain order in Lin'an City, especially to be careful of fires. Then he hurriedly ordered Wei Weng and Zhao Jingyun, hoping to find clues here, but Zhao Jingyun did not find it, only found Wei Liaoweng.

There is also Deng Ruoshui, with his influence among the Tai students, he could have been used, but when the secret envoy went to look for him, the others were gone.

looked at Wei Liaoweng, Zhao Youju could only smile bitterly, but he was afraid that he could only let Wei Liaoweng go to the Guozi Prison.

"Wei Qing, the Taixue students are only afraid that they are already unstable at this time, you go to the Guozijian first now, and appease them." Zhao Youju sat in the chair and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, he could mobilize the army, but he was not very relieved about the military discipline of the forbidden army now, Qin Dashi and Xing Zhiyuan gave him the secret recital, which was the military discipline of the front division of the palace and the guard division, and they also had many derogatory reprimands, not to mention the forbidden army. If the forbidden army is transferred, there will be nothing to do, and it will also cause trouble for these old soldiers who like to kill and take advantage of the opportunity to loot.

Now Lin'an City is like sparks lit everywhere, and it is easy to deal with any place alone, but if they are allowed to spread and connect, it will be the biggest crisis after expelling Shi Miyuan for him Zhao and Ju.

Wei Liaoweng also knew that the matter was urgent, and after listening to the orders of the Son of Heaven, he immediately kowtowed and said goodbye, and left Jigu Hall in a hurry.

Deng Ruoshui pursed his lips, nodded vigorously, and quickly recorded on the paper while listening.

Sitting in front of him were two rough men, a little embarrassed and proud in the face of him, a Confucian student. Their clothes were a little dirty, but neat, with few ragged patches. They also have a red glow on their faces, not the gray yellow of hunger and malnutrition.

"Although there is no land now, in this Liuqiu infrastructure team, there is food, drink, and a monthly salary, right?" After writing it down, Deng Ruoshui was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he asked a special question.

"Exactly, exactly, half a year ago, the villain never dreamed of today's life." A rough man hurriedly replied: "Mr. Deng, the villain not only learned the craft of this plasterer, but also learned how to write his own name and how to calculate the square circle of the house with the Liuqiu infrastructure construction team...... In the past half a month, the villain has continued to say that he also has four jobs, helping the rich and noble families to lay cement, and he has been busy since morning to night. ”

"Then ...... today" Deng Ruoshui looked at the two of them, and his eyes flashed: "Why are you free today?" ”

"It's because of the lack of labor in the cement kiln." Another older rough man said slowly: "Therefore, the cement supply is not available, and the two of us can't lift the cement, so we have to rest." ”

"Oh?" Deng Ruoshui's eyes lit up: "I don't know about this matter, and the cement kiln is also short of manpower?" ”

"Extremely scarce, since the end of the year, three batches have been recruited, each batch is dozens of people, but it is still not enough!"

"I see." Deng Ruoshui quickly wrote it down again, he looked at the sky, and then asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"There is another thing, speaking of which, that is, Mr. is afraid that it is also fresh." The rough man touched his head with a smile, and there was still dirt made of cement on the thick bone knots: "When the villain is working in the infrastructure team, the infrastructure team will deduct 10% of the monthly salary, saying that it is for the villain to be stored in the flow bank for pension purposes." ”

"Deduct 10% of your salary?" Deng Ruoshui's eyes suddenly became sharp, and after he quickly wrote down this paragraph, he asked, "You will be deducted by them?" ”

The rough man had a blank look on his face, glanced at his companion, and said, "He has a good intention, and he has a very reasonable point. If we are like us, who rely on our strength to eat, if we are unable to live in old age, and have no land or property at home, we will not starve to death, and we will drag down our children and grandchildren. Now they only need to take out 10% of their savings every month and beg the bank to pay back the interest, how can they not help them? ”

"You can trust them, aren't you afraid that they will lie to you?"

A rough man laughed, patted his companion and said, "Look, Mr. is like you, you are suspicious. ”

The companion was a little ashamed, and said with a smile: "At first, I didn't believe much, but then I went to the bank to withdraw it with the slip they opened, and I really took out the money, and then I thought about the surplus money in my hand, either gambling it or entering the half-hidden door, but it was better to keep it in the bank, and not afraid of thieves - to be honest, we went out of the infrastructure team to find a living at home, and still saved 10% of the income every month." ”

Deng Ruoshui quickly wrote down this paragraph again, and then read it again in front of the two: "Listen to the two of you, is that so?" ”

"Yes, yes, sir, remember a good word." The two were busy.

"Good!" Deng Ruoshui stood up and bowed his hand slightly to the two rough men: "Thank you, thank you, the students still have something to do, so I won't bother anymore!" ”

Lin'an Huayue Building, has always been one of the top restaurants in Lin'an City, with the rise of the Heroes Club in the past two years, its customers have decreased slightly, but it is still ranked among the first-rate restaurants in Lin'an.

Zhao Jingyun looked at these students who came around him a little inexplicably, most of them had been there before, and everyone looked a little angry.

Originally, these student gatherings all like to pick up the Qunying Club, but today's events are related to Liuqiu, and everyone knows that the Qunying Club Restaurant is intimate with Liuqiu, so it was changed to Huayue Building.

"Now that the crowd is raging, I have almost no room for argument in Taixue!" A student said loudly: "Zhao Manqing, you have also been to Liuqiu, you have seen the situation of Liuqiu with your own eyes, you say that Liuqiu is a curse or a blessing to my Great Song Dynasty?" ”

"Exactly, exactly, Zhao Manqing, tell me quickly!"

Zhao Jingyun immediately understood that it was his own investigation secret book that caused trouble, obviously, the tabloid called "Jinghua Secrets" has now had a great impact, and the storm caused is even bigger than he imagined.

Listening to their tone, he didn't seem to know that all the detailed materials listed in "Jinghua Secrets" came from him, which was really embarrassing for him.

"Brother Manqing, why don't you speak, do you also think that the flow of goods has ruined the livelihood of the people of my Great Song Dynasty, so it should be banned?" Another person slapped the table angrily and said: "I have seen it with my own eyes in Liuqiu, I have seen it with my own eyes, I have asked for men to have a share, women to return, the old to raise the young, and to teach, is it really not beneficial to the country in such a place of great harmony?" ”

They think that what the tabloid said is alarmist, but the evidence is clear, even because of the impact of the flow of goods, the number of people who have lost their livelihood in the past few months has a statistic, and the industries threatened by the flow of goods have also made a list of them, so that they can refute it, but there is no way to refute it.

Moreover, they went to Liuqiu to be the envy of the rest of the students, but now it has become their crime, as long as someone defends Liuqiu, they are denounced as "traitors" and "bought" by Liuqiu, which makes them have to silence Zhao Jingyun to ask for countermeasures.

Zhao Jingyun himself was also at a loss in his heart, he wrote that booklet, naturally he attached great importance to the impact of the flow of goods, he did not think that the flow of goods was a disaster for the country and the people, but the results of the investigation made him unable to refute the flow of goods.

Vaguely, he also felt that someone seemed to be fueling the troubles, but he couldn't figure out who could benefit from such a method of fueling the flames.

"What's going on over there?" He settled down and asked the question first.

"Some people have said that they should write a book, invite the Son of Heaven, ban the goods that are sought, and expel those who seek them, and some people even say that they will ...... Some people say that there will be a virtuous concubine! ”

Even these students also know that the Son of Heaven dotes on Concubine Xian, and the rumors in Lin'an City in private say that Concubine Xian is really helping the Son of Heaven to expand the territory, and without Concubine Xian, the Son of Heaven will not be able to expel the Shi Party, let alone pro-government. As soon as this virtuous concubine said it, the Son of Heaven would be furious, and when the Son of Heaven was angry, it would be the result of millions of corpses bleeding thousands of miles!

"Don't panic...... Don't panic ......" Zhao Jingyun's face turned pale, and he warned himself in his heart that in today's matter, it is necessary to stabilize the students of the Taitai first, and if you want to stabilize the students of the Taitai, you must go to the Guozijian.

"In that case, what are we doing here?" He shouted: "Go to the national prison, you can't let these Confucians spoil the country's major affairs!" ”
