Chapter 261: Putting on a show
Although the language of this poem is simple and there is no use of allusions, it is very bold, and more importantly, the meaning of this poem is not quite in line with the values advocated by my Qing Dynasty, so Chen Jialuo didn't know what to say after reading Yi Chaodong and others; Chen Jialuo didn't ask, and walked away with a big laugh.
From Fuzhou to Fuding, he had to pass through Funing Mansion, and when he was in Fucheng, Chen Jialuo found the station of the Red Flower Society here, and inquired about the recent actions of Nalan Yuanshu; This time, Fujian Province was apportioned 200,000 taels of silver, which was less than 20,000 taels distributed to 12 prefectures, and even less when it was distributed to various counties. But could something like this happen in my Great Qing Dynasty? After receiving the apportionment from the imperial court, the governor of Fujian directly divided the task, and the average was almost 30,000 taels in the head of the house; Because Funing Mansion can produce grain and the economic conditions are better, it is assigned the task of 40,000 taels, and Funing Mansion has jurisdiction over Xiapu, Funing, Fuding, Shouning, and Ningde five counties. Therefore, the share of each county was increased to more than 10,000 taels, and the standard for Fuding was raised to 20,000 taels!
I said, why hasn't Nalan Yuanshu made a big move recently! It's all waiting here! The current registered population of Fuding is less than 20,000, and each Fuding person will have to pay more than one or two pieces of silver for this silver! According to the living standards of the people of Fuding before the Red Flower Society came, one stone of grain was about one or two halves, and a farmer's annual ration was almost three stones.
Chen Jialuo said secretly in his heart after hearing the news. This is a good opportunity to incite the people to rebel, but Guangdong has not yet taken action, so is it too early for us to start an incident? He thought of the rumors about Xinyan leaving some time ago, maybe these two things could be put together, just to completely dispel the illusions of those people who still had meager hopes for the Qing court.
Now that he had an idea, Chen Jialuo hurried back to Fuding. convened Xinyan, Luo Bing, Lu Feiqing, Xu Tianhong, Shi Shuangying and other relevant personnel to discuss secretly; The next day, the news that Fuding was going to pay 20,000 taels of assistance was transmitted to the people through various channels, and the entire Fuding quickly fell into a panic.
In less than three days, the people who were able to get rid of their homes flocked to the county seat, exchanging the news they had received anxiously, and the personnel of the Red Flower Society also mixed in the crowd to spread all kinds of rumors; There are even those who are bold and follow the subordinates of the Red Flower Society to scold the court. It's not a way to always gather in the city, these people quickly elected a few respected village elders to come to the gate of the county government to beat the drum and ask for their lives, and when they saw the heart inkstone coming out, these white-haired old men immediately knelt on the ground, "Please also ask Lord Qingtian to be considerate of me and others." Fuding people are few and poor, so they really can't take out so much silver! ”
"Everyone, please get up!" , Xin Yan and Chen Jialuo hurriedly helped these people up, exchanged glances, and Xin Yan shook his head helplessly, "Old man, I don't want to squeeze the people of Fuding, but this is what Shangguan meant, and Xiaguan is really powerless!" The prefect said. If I don't pay the money within a month, I'll be the official! ”
For the first time, the news that Xin Yan was about to be driven away was confirmed from his own mouth. These people immediately panicked, the safflower society came to Fuding this year, their lives have more or less improved, the family farming is no longer the oppression of the big landlords, the collective farm has good seeds and advanced farm tools reception, the harvest is much better than in previous years. In the spare time, you can also go to the embankment, factory, shipyard and other places to do odd jobs; In addition, the heart inkstone does not need to consume silver and other additional endowments, and they have more money in their hands this year than in the past three years combined. Xin Yan is leaving, I am afraid that he will return to his previous miserable life immediately. When the people heard this, they immediately began to weep aloud.
"That's it! Yan tried his best not to wear it, but also to ask for a favor for you, I will go to Fucheng to plead with the Nalan prefect. I hope that the Nalan prefect can be sympathetic to the people and reduce the salary a little, so that you villagers can have spare money to buy everything needed for spring ploughing! Xin Yan said the above words according to the plan a few days ago, and did not return to the county government after speaking, and directly asked people to lead the horse and run to the city with a few entourage. There was a commotion among the people, and dozens of people followed in carriages at the instigation of the Red Flower Society.
Arrived at the city of Fucheng to hand over the post, perhaps because the heart of the inkstone did not give the door bag, has been standing outside the door for more than an hour Nalan Yuanshu recruited him into the house, to the center of the house after the Yan ceremony to explain the intention, Nalan Yuanshu listened to the silence after waiting for a long time and did not see the heart of the inkstone to send the gift list, immediately snorted coldly and turned back to the inner room, before leaving to put down the words, the salary is His Majesty's will, the heart Yan does not work hard to collect the salary is disloyal to His Majesty, if he can't get the money on time, he doesn't have to be the county.
After saying that, Xin Yan was driven out of the house, and when he arrived outside the prefect's yamen, Xin Yan knelt straight at the gate, and shouted loudly, "I hope that the prefect will sympathize with the people of Fuding!" I also hope that the prefect will be sympathetic to the people of Fuding! This attitude made the people who followed Xinyan to Fucheng burst into tears, and they rushed to the door to persuade Xinyan to get up.
Nalan Yuanshu's reaction did not disappoint the people of the Red Flower Society, the yamen suddenly opened, and dozens of officials with big shoulders and round waists rushed out quickly to beat the people with sticks, and a few people were held by chains and grabbed inside the yamen. Even Xinyan was beaten by Nalan Yuanshu on the grounds of inciting the people to threaten Shangguan, Xinyan remembered Chen Jialuo's teachings, and did not dare to use internal force to resist, and after the twenty boards, the blood soaked his pants, and the person almost fainted.
The people who had been fleeing in all directions learned the news, and they rushed back to the gate of the yamen again despite the oncoming stick, and snatched the heart inkstone back from the hands of the officials. Seeing the tragic situation of Xinyan, those people were furious, and the few officials who grabbed the board were so big, or Xinyan persuaded them with good words, and these people saved a dog's life.
Everyone helped to send the heart inkstone to the carriage, and carefully cared for all the way back to Fuding, and the thousands of people guarding the county immediately exploded; The people's hearts are available! Chen Jialuo looked at the reactions of these people and sighed, it seems that sometimes it is still useful to put on a show! (Latest and faster, search\wind\rain\small\説\net\WWW.44pq.COM......)
