Chapter 918: National Shame
During the time when he was waiting for Bi Shijing's department to enter Beijing, Gao Fangping also relaxed, and took Xiaohutou, Sister Liang, and Ju Jing out for a private visit to Weifu all day long, and walked around the familiar and unfamiliar street market in Bianjing.
Now Bianjing has changed a lot, and in this midsummer season, people travel a lot.
In addition to visiting the mountains and rivers outside, you can also see a lot of rich ladies, who like to go out with their pet cats.
The Great Song Dynasty is this virtue, pets like to raise cats and don't like dogs, but they can't get over it in their hearts, because the so-called "pigs and dogs are not as good", dogs and pigs have always been synonymous with inferiority. So the ladies have cats. So in the bustling street market, there are many cat food sellers, and pet grooming shops also have them.
Pointing to a pet grooming shop, Tiger Head Jade said, "Once I brought turtles here for them to take care of, but they were chased away. Or the old man in the east of the city was kind, and gave him the turtle, five cents, he used a brush to brighten the turtle, and tied a bow on the turtle's head, which was really beautiful. ”
As she spoke, Xiaoyu took out her mahjong turtle from her arms and showed it off.
As a result, Sister Liang slapped the back of the head and confiscated the turtle, "Dead girl, you are doing this evil, and the five cents are spent like this." ”
Liang Hongyu is a big loli now, and she won't cry when she fights. In fact, she is really a little rich man, and her subordinates have received a lot of dividends before, and in addition, this child is basically brought by Gao Yu's old man, and Gao Yu will give her a lot of pocket money. Then she also has the knight's salary from the emperor's family, she is still young, and she doesn't know where to get the money, but Gao Yu Lao'er will help her get her salary from Zongzheng Temple every month.
Not only that, Niu Gao has long been an adult, but Xiao Niu Gao always feels that he is Liang Hongyu's subordinate and their eldest brother, so Niu Gao does not drink flower wine, has no expenses, and will save his monthly salary and send it to Liang Hongyu, which is their fund.
Liang Hongyu has no heart and lungs, and if someone gives it to her, she will accept it.
As a top student of the Royal Academy, sometimes Liang Hongyu's money will be deceived by Zhao Jinnu to place bets, or invest in stocks or something. Gao Fangping's military factory has long been packaged and sold to the powerful to distribute dividends, and Liang Hongyu also bought some in the early days, and now it has also appreciated greatly. So she became a little rich woman, much richer than her old sister.
"The money should be saved and kept for the dowry later, otherwise you won't be able to marry at all." Sister Liang commanded again.
The tiger head baby said: "No, Gao Yu's father said that he would give a dowry in the future." ”
This Lori's godfather is Gao Yu, and of course Lao Gao will give a dowry.
Walking past a shop selling rice noodles, a little boy with a tiger head and a tiger brain at the door became excited when he saw Liang Hongyu, and hurriedly ran back to the store and said, "Here she comes, she is here to eat rice noodles again." ”
In the eyes of the little boy, Liang Hongyu is an out-and-out big person, every time she comes, she will take four girls as guards, and then a total of five girls to eat fifteen bowls of rice noodles, which is a big business.
This time she didn't bring her girl guards, but she brought a few adult guards, and the little boy thought that he should have more rice buckets, right?
There wasn't much business in the store at this time, and when Gao Fangping and his party walked in, the little boy said happily: "It's still fifteen bowls, right?" ”
"Pigs, have you eaten so much?" Sister Liang was speechless.
In fact, Jujing is also a rice bucket, the kind that specializes in eating meat that doesn't grow meat. So Gao Fangping, who was dressed in silk clothes, shook his fan and said, "We are rich people, and we will eat thirty bowls this time." ”
The little boy ran back and said excitedly: "Daddy, daddy, this time they are generous and eat thirty bowls." ”
Then the rice noodles were continuously brought up, and the little boy also said: "Daguanren, our family also pickled rabbit heads, which were originally planned to be eaten during the New Year, do you want to buy two and taste them?" ”
So ten came.
Liang Hongyu usually doesn't eat rabbit heads, and she said that she likes white rabbits.
Rabbit heads are a specialty of Chengdu, and they also have a Sichuan accent when they speak, which is somewhat different from the Sichuan accent of later generations, but it is also very close. So Gao Fangping said while eating rice noodles: "Are you from Chengdu?" ”
"Yes, have the officials been to Chengdu?" His dad asked when he brought the rabbit head.
"I've been." Gao Fangping said again, "Uncle, tell me, how is Chengdu now?" ”
His father said: "If the big officials want to enter Chengdu to do business, it will be difficult." The road is difficult to walk, the business is difficult, and there are many bandits. Life can be lived, but if you really want to make some money, you still have to go out. Ay. ”
He sighed.
Gao Fangping looked around, and said, "You should have an eldest son at your age, and what about your mother-in-law?" ”
The little boy said with tears in his eyes: "When I came out of Shuzhong, our family still had some family assets, but when we met bandits, some of the money was robbed, my mother and my eldest brother were also killed, and my second sister was robbed, and I don't know if I live or die." ”
Gao Fangping nodded and didn't say anything more. It sounds like you've encountered a real bandit, and it's not much use to report to the official.
Yes, in some areas, bandits are also divided into real bandits and fake bandits. For example, Shuzhong, which is difficult to walk, is a typical situation.
The uncle's "business difficulties" illustrate this phenomenon. The more isolated the area, the more difficult it is to trade, and the easier it is for the local merchants within it to monopolize. After obtaining the monopoly right, it will become more and more nostalgic for this right, so the local chamber of commerce will artificially create some fake bandits to come out, and in the very easy to control Shu Road, block other profiteers from entering Shu and snatch the materials. This kind of fake bandit government knows in his heart, if this kind of person robs money and goes to report to the official, the money cannot be expected, but the kidnapped person can usually come back.
These situations are not someone else's, Cai Jing, who has officially had the experience of governing the Chengdu government, told Xiao Gao. Obviously, the Chengdu Chamber of Commerce Alliance used to be Cai Jing's agent and financial source, but now Cai Jing has packaged and sold them for the sake of political correctness. This is the reason why Gao Fangping wants to bring the elite army into Chengdu.
If you want to dig holes in the mountains and dig holes in that area to wipe out the bandits, the ordinary army will not be able to endure that hardship. At the same time, relying only on the army will never be able to eliminate the bandits, and it is necessary to cooperate with the people's war in order to finally eliminate them. That's why, except for Xiao Gao, no one can solve the problem in Shuzhong.
At the same time, for this reason, Gao Fangping brought tens of thousands of experienced and survivable mountain people from Cangzhou and appointed them as the railway soldiers, which was actually the second echelon of the battle against bandits in Sichuan.
Many of these mud-legged people with dreams of building a homeland will die in the mountains, or from poisonous insects and beasts, or from bandits, or from sickness and exhaustion on the railway. But their children and grandchildren will see the light of day, and they will no longer have to be savages in Cangzhou for generations.
Wherever the railway passes, the grassroots camps of today, will become one small town after another many years later, slowly expanding into county towns and even state capitals. That's their homeland, the urban agglomeration that relies on the railway, the land will appreciate dramatically, that's the rainbow that their descendants see.
This is the final result of this vigorous large-scale development of the western region with railways as the main line.
It must have been bloodshed to see the rainbow. Politicians in the United States are one-size-fits-all, and after killing all the Indians, they see the rainbow, and they only have this ability, which is always weaker.
As for the old man, there is no one-size-fits-all, but it also really purged all bandits. Of course, the blood and tears behind it are not light, and in the Sichuan-Tibet anti-bandit operations after the founding of the People's Republic of China, hundreds of public security officers and policemen sacrificed a lot for the siege and killing.
So Gao Fangping said it easily at the time, but in fact, he took those tens of thousands of mud legs into Sichuan to fight, and how many people they can live in ten years, Gao Fangping has no bottom in his heart. But someone has to do it. This is also the reason why Gao Fangping must enter Sichuan, and others are not competent.
One-third of the current situation in Chengdu is the pot of the Zhao family, one-third is the pot of terrain and climate, and the other one-third is caused by Lao Cai. Of these three "things", Gao Fangping was the only Lao Cai who could get it, but he had already negotiated with him politically and promised not to liquidate him.
But Lao Cai's disciples and grandchildren in Chengdu estimated that they had already been sold by Lao Cai. This is commonly known as coming out and mixing to be returned.
YY, I suddenly heard the sound of porcelain breaking.
When he came back to his senses, it was the little boy who happened to come out with the rabbit's head who had dropped the plate, and he looked worried. Because at this time, three men came into the store, and one of them had a black mole on the side of his mouth, dressed as a Taoist priest.
The uncle was also startled when he saw it, walked over to the front with a smiling face, and quickly whispered to the little boy: "Run out with the deed, don't worry about here, I'll come back in a few days." ”
Gao Fangping happened to hear this sentence because of the angle, and couldn't help frowning.
Of course, Liang Hongying and Ju Jing also heard it, and immediately glared at the three of them and were about to get up, but Gao Fangping shook his head slightly and motioned for them to stop, so Sister Liang and the others just glared angrily.
When the Taoist priest came over, he said to Sister Liang and Ju Jing: "The two little ladies are beautiful and handsome. But what do you see? ”
After this sentence, it was like selling cakes, and suddenly there were a few hideous-looking people at the door.
Gao Fangping watched with interest.
Followed by a lot and didn't say, it seems that these people have come here to "contact" not once, so there are no specific details of the conversation, the black mole said: "Old Chen, is your son pregnant with something that is not good for Bianjing and the royal feng shui, why did he run away as soon as he saw us?" ”
I'm @#¥
Gao Fangping was stunned, these people have now become a feng shui inspection team? Shut your mouth and kidnap the royal family again?
Gao Fangping was also on a private visit earlier and had seen some things. This kind of "feng shui police" who openly kidnapped the emperor is the first time I have seen it. The main thing in front is to see some Taoist priests interfering in people's living habits, and those Taoist priests are arrogant enough to "close shops" in place of Kaifeng Mansion.
What does it mean to close the store, that is, a group of people who have no law enforcement power gathered, and no one dared to take care of it, and then these Taoist priests sealed many restaurants that did not have "Xiuzhen certification", and rectified them within a time limit. Gao Fangping has really seen this kind of thing more than once.
