Chapter 109: Ten Thousand Empty Alleys
Liu Renliang stood in a remote corner of Xianyang City, looking at the "Crown Prince's Order" posted on the mottled city wall, which made him want to beat people.
In the past few days, he, the number two person in the county government, has basically not been able to transfer the county officials, and all the documents in the county are handled by Wei Zhubo, including the posting of this "crown prince's order".
Liu Renliang had already had a detailed understanding of Li Chengqian's recent actions in Xianyang, and he knew that Li Chengqian's current promotions and reuse were all lower-level officials who had no foundation in the DPRK and were capable.
Li Chengqian, who had suppressed Li Tai's rebellion, was as stable as Mount Tai's crown prince, and Liu Renliang, as a middle-aged official with ideals and ambitions, naturally wanted to lean on his thigh as soon as possible to show what he had learned.
Besides, Xianyang, as a thousand-year-old city, has a lot of people and little land, and now Li Chengqian is transferring people to open up the wasteland, which is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and he can get a good reputation in the local area even if he does not have Li Chengqian's blue eyes.
But now that the local clans headed by the Wei clan and the Dugu clan have joined forces to destroy this matter, Wei Man's courage is about to catch up with his fat body.
Liu Renliang, who lost the support of the local officials, became deaf and blind in an instant in the county government, and he was doing other things, and kept his henchmen staring at Wei Man's posting notices.
His henchmen told him that Wei Man had posted notices everywhere, but the common people were busy farming and had not yet seen it, and when the second dragon raised its head in February, the people would naturally know when they entered the city.
After finishing his official duties in the yamen today, he wanted to go to the restaurant to drink, but he was pushed by that henchman and tried to stop him from coming out.
Liu Renliang immediately became suspicious, and left the county government to go straight to the lively place in the county seat, looking around all the way, and was stunned that he didn't see a place where the 'prince's order' was posted.
Only then did Liu Renliang realize that he had been fooled, and angrily returned to the county office to question Wei Man, who knew that Wei Man only glanced at him, then turned his head and said sarcastically: "What is Liu Xiancheng looking for that notice?" Could it be that Liu Xiancheng is going to Longshouyuan to open up wasteland?"
"The official looked for the notice, naturally to see if anyone had abolished the public for personal purposes and violated the crown prince's order.
Now there is not a single notice found in the whole city, which shows that there are indeed people who do not take the crown prince's decree seriously. ”
Wei Man heard this, but said fearlessly: "Li Laojiu went to take our Liu Daxian Cheng to see the notice you posted. ”
After he said that, a smiling official walked up to Liu Renliang and said, "Liu County, please!" ”
Liu Renliang snorted angrily, flicked his sleeves and followed Li Laojiu out, he wanted to see what tricks they could play, but his lungs exploded along the way, it turned out that these things picked up such an important notice and posted it in a deserted place, and no one would see it at all.
"You guys just put the crown prince's order on the place where this kind of bird doesn't?" Liu Renliang glared at Li Laojiudao.
Li Laojiu said unhurriedly when he heard this: "Go back to Liu Xiancheng, this is the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very important, the small one is posted in a crowded place for fear of being torn apart, and now the southwest wind is strong, if it is pasted in the city gate, it will be blown away by the wind for fear of the wind." ”
Li Laojiu said this, pointing to the barren grass in front of him, which was more than one person high, and said: "Look how good it is here, the little ones have worked hard to find such a good place, there is neither wind nor people coming, and they are still here for a year or two." ”
"But no one sees it here!" Liu Renliang roared angrily.
Li Laojiu deliberately widened his eyes when he heard this: "How can it be, if someone wants to go to Longshou Plain to open up wasteland, they will naturally find here." ”
"You!" Liu Renliang didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, so he flicked his sleeves and left first.
After Liu Renliang returned, he wanted to write a song to impeach Xianyang County Ling and Wei Man and the local clans behind him, but he knew that this kind of impeachment was useless.
The other party only needs these few days, and when the agricultural time is over, the farmers can no longer reclaim the fields even if they go to Longshouyuan, and they can post the notice with great fanfare at any time.
However, if he wants to deliver his impeachment notes to the imperial court, he needs to hand them over layer by layer, and when Li Chengqian sees his notes, maybe it will be time to harvest the autumn, and at that time, I am afraid that Li Chengqian will not think that he is a capable person.
The tall Liu Renliang walked around the house a few times, and finally he made up his mind to write a notice and post it himself, and then guard the city gate to tell the people.
Thinking of a way to deal with it, Liu Renliang narrowed his eyes and said to himself coldly: I don't believe that there will be no people going to Longshouyuan!
If you have to do this, you are more angry with Wei Man and the local clans in Xianyang.
Sun Shilang is eighteen years old this year, he is a simple peasant boy, he is dark and strong in life, and he is a well-known good crop.
Sun Shilang's four parents died early, he lived with his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and the year before last, his eldest brother also fell ill and died, leaving only a thirteen-year-old nephew.
They and the second brother and the third brother did not separate, a family of more than a dozen people planted 20 acres of land in the family, paid all kinds of taxes and could not eat enough, so since the year before last they rented 20 acres of land in the Dugu family, and they had to pay 60% of the rent every year, and there were only forty or fifty catties of grain left in one acre of land a year.
In this way, their family, men, women and children, can barely mix up after a year of hard work, but there is nothing left.
His sister-in-law wanted to tell him a good family matter, but she couldn't say it because there were many people in the family and few places, which made the eighteen-year-old Sun Shilang very angry, and he felt uncomfortable when he saw everything and wanted to go out and break through.
On this day, Sun Shilang, who was sitting at the gate repairing hoes, saw that the city gate was very lively, so he put down his work and led his nephew to the city gate to see the excitement.
When Sun Shilang's uncle and nephew came to the city gate, there were already many people around here, and Sun Shilang saw a tall official standing against the city wall, and at this time, the official was telling everyone about the reclamation of Longshouyuan in a strange official dialect (Henan official dialect, Sun Shilang did not know).
The official also knew that he had an accent so he spoke very slowly, Sun Shilang listened very carefully, he heard that he went to Longshouyuan to reclaim, and the land reclaimed by the imperial court did not collect taxes for three years, and now he goes to the imperial court to distribute farm tools and seeds, and everyone works and eats together......
Sun Shilang's heart was full of enthusiasm when he heard this, and just when he wanted to ask how to get there, he heard a cough from the side, and turned his head to see an old man in a satin robe.
This old man Sun Shilang knows Mr. Zhao Liu, the account room of Dugu's family, and people who live nearby say that this Mr. Zhao Liu is a very knowledgeable person, he often comes out of Dugu's house, walks on the road and shakes his head and recites articles loudly, if others ask him what he is reciting, he always laughs and says: "Like you can also know such a big truth?" Then he left with a smile.
Of course, this Mr. Zhao Liu sometimes helps people write letters, so the people around here respect him very much.
When the people around saw Mr. Zhao Liu coming, they hurriedly got out of the way, and Mr. Zhao Liu only coughed a few times and walked to the innermost.
He didn't listen to what Liu Renliang said, just shook his head, hummed and read the notice, and when he finished reading the notice, he turned around and walked out.
All the villagers hurriedly asked him, "Mr. Zhao Liu, what you said is good?"
Zhao Liupi said with a smile: "Okay! Okay—"
Everyone saw that he was insincere, so they beat the drum in their hearts, and there was the clever one who quietly followed Zhao Liu, and asked in a low voice without taking a few steps: "Mr. Zhao Liu's notice?"
Zhao Liu rolled his eyes and said, "Do you dare to believe the notice?" Say goodbye and leave.
The people who listened to Zhao Liu's words seemed to know the secret of immortality, and they were mysterious and secretive, and they preached it to everyone with more oil and vinegar.
So all the people who were a little moved just now had the idea of going to Longshouyuan to open up the wasteland, and Sun Shilang also went home dejectedly.
Liu Renliang said with a dry mouth, but he didn't know that all his efforts had been wasted by that Mr. Zhao Liu's words.
Liu Renliang stood at the gate of the city for a day, and only a dozen people were willing to go to Longshouyuan to open up the wasteland, which made Liu Renliang very depressed.
He didn't sleep all night and couldn't figure out what the reason was, the next day was the second day of February, Liu Renliang thought that there were many people in the county today, and he would see if anyone was willing to go to Longshouyuan.
Liu Renliang once again stood at the gate of the city and explained to the people that he posted the notice he posted yesterday, there were many people in the past today, but there were not as many people around him as yesterday.
Today, many people go to the city to repair farm tools and buy seeds, and no one has time to listen to him.
This made Liu Renliang a little cold, and wanted to give up this opportunity to take Li Chenggan's line.
"Rooster Rooster ......"
Just when Liu Renliang was about to leave, a high-pitched tune suddenly came out of the city gate, and Liu Renliang turned his head to see a dusty crowd of people rolling in not far away.
Liu Renliang didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly walked out of the city gate hole and ran up the city wall from the stairs next to him.
Liu Renliang looked down from above, and saw two peasant brothers and sisters, a man and a woman, walking from the official road outside the city, and the two brothers and sisters sang while walking.
The people around them followed, and the group buzzed like a flowing swarm of bees, flying bigger and bigger, and getting more and more people walking.
Finally, he walked to the city gate, and simply sang in an open space next to the city gate, and the people who went in and out of the county stopped to watch.
Liu Renliang couldn't quite understand what they were singing, and when he saw that the soldiers guarding the city next to him were also listening attentively, he patted a soldier next to him and asked, "What are these people singing?"
"Huh?" The little soldier was startled and came back to his senses from the performance under the city, and he didn't know what this Liu County Cheng was doing.
Liu Renliang had no choice but to say loudly: "The official asked you what they were singing?"
"Oh, they are singing about brother and sister reclamation...... "Xiao Bing's eyebrows fluttered and he told Liu Renliang what he sang next.
While they were talking, Xianyang City was already in a sensation, and the people near the city gate all ran out when they heard the sound, and although the people in the distance didn't know what was going on, they all ran out.
Duan Hongda and his partner sang a brother and sister over and over again, surrounded by a sea of people, at this time it was the dry time of early spring, so many people were together, if you move a step, he will move a step, and the dust will fly.
In addition, the two of them have been going around in the field, and the field is like wolf smoke fluttering, and the dust falling down makes the two of them dusty, more like people who have just returned from the field.
Liu Renliang looked at the empty alleys of Xianyang City from the city wall, and he didn't know what the intentions of these people who sang the song of persuading farmers were, but he really wanted to squeeze into the crowd now to publicize the opening of the Longshou Plain.
It's just that when he was still hesitating, the following small drama stopped, and a few old farmers came out, and those old farmers also spoke to everyone in a Xianyang accent.
Liu Renliang was afraid that they were people with ulterior motives, so when he saw someone come out to say, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and he almost screamed out when he heard it.
It turned out that these people were the people sent by Li Chengqian to publicize the reclamation of Longshou Plain, and what they said was what his people said, but the result was ......
