Chapter 312: Qingping

On July 6, Yang executed all the captured bandits.

This is just the beginning.

Zhang Songtao and others have already moved back and brought back a large amount of silver, grain, rice, mules and horses. After they returned, they joined forces with Minister Yang and others to carefully clean up the bandits in Pizhou. They have a harvest every day, and a large number of bandits and their families are escorted in every day.

Every day, the execution ground on this side of the Yangshan Embankment is full of people, and it is really a river of blood.

The people were excited, the bandits were frightened, the bandits and bandits fled from Pizhou one after another, and the patrol bureau and the joint defense team were still carefully cleaning up the green-skinned singles inside and outside the city, and it seemed that in an instant, the territory of Pizhou became unprecedentedly clear.

Every time people talk about this situation, it is as if they are in a different world.

And the matter of Pizhou finally spread to Huai'an, and the people were shaken, "Xiucai and the woman fought in the street, but they were overturned", this matter is too appalling, and it can't be talked about by the villagers and elders. Some of the students in the prefecture were noisy, threatening to insult Sven and suppress the famous people, and they would report to the governor's office or the patrol government office.

However, in the end, they died down, because soon the news of the "Lijiazhuang tragedy" in Pizhou came, and the local bandits lost their conscience and killed the villagers by all kinds of horrific means. Hearing that the local officials were furious, Lian Zong Yang He vowed to kill all the bandits.

Sure enough, he did what he said, and the next day he went on a killing spree, and the local bandits and those who colluded with the bandits suffered one after another, and within a few days, blood flowed inside and outside Pizhou.

The Fucheng students no longer know how to evaluate Yang He, and the news came that this time Yang He was not as simple as beating Xiucai on the street, but killing on the street, and what gentry and strong Xiucai, as long as they colluded with the bandits, they were all killed by him.

His methods were extremely cruel, and at the end of the day, more than 1,000 heads fell to the ground, and the people who were killed were all over the three religions and nine streams, which made people deeply realize his "solemn" name. In comparison, his instigation of the woman to beat Xiucai is nothing.

Moreover, he is righteous in his hands, and his actions are reasonable and legal, after all, these people colluded with bandits, and they were killed purely for their own sake, and they died innocently.

Inevitably, Yang He once again came into the sight of many people, because of his defeat earlier, it aroused the interest of many people, and this time the purge of bandits made people deeply realize the other side of him.

Some people applauded, others criticized, saying that their methods were too brutal, and the name of "cool officials" was also spread in various places.

Everyone waited and saw the official reaction, and the Pizhou government had an official document, Governor Cao Yun, and Governor Huaiyang Shi Kefa replied, "Properly handle it locally".

Soon, the Jiangyin Academic Administration also issued an official document, depriving Guo Wenji, Zhong Liangyou, and Liu Xizuo of their fame, and also scolded the rest of the people for making trouble, showing their support for Yang Lian.

There is also the patrol press Yushi, who also ignores this matter, which makes the hearts of many students in Huai'an Mansion cold.

They also heard that Shi Duchen was quite serious about Yang Lian, and the matter spread, and he said to Yan Ermei, a staff member under his command: "The green-skinned stick bandits are rampant, and the governor has already heard about it. Yang Shenyan is a real scholar, he is so discredited, regardless of his posthumous background, how can my generation sit idly by? As long as he is in Huai'an for one day, the governor will protect him for one day. ”

Although he was privately worried, Yang He acted so hard, sooner or later there would be a big disaster, and he couldn't protect him for the rest of his life.

But if he passed on the words through his staff, he Shi Kefa was an important minister of the local national pillar in Huaiyang, studied the political yamen, and patrolled the imperial history, how could he not take into account his attitude? Just a few students, how can they compare with Shi Xianggong's statement, not to mention that they colluded with bandits, and they died so much that people couldn't cry out for injustice.

Soon, the official document that Guo Wenji, Zhong Liangyou, and Liu Xizuo were deposed of their fame arrived, and Yang He responded to this and pulled all three of them to the execution ground.

Together with the three exempted officers, there were also more than 70 people from the state government, such as Niu Xuejun and Niu Xuezhu, the leaders of the fast class, Lai Xian, the head of the fast class, and Qi Xuanma, the head of the Zhuang class, and more than 200 people from the white service.

As the backstage of the green-skinned singles, they are also innocent.

The Yangshan Embankment Execution Ground is crowded every day, and in July alone, more than 1,000 people are killed.

In Pizhou, there is only trembling, and the night is far away.

Qi Shangxian, the director of the Water Department of the Ministry of Industry, had already left Pizhou City, and he had received news that Yang Hepifu was collecting incriminating evidence materials and handing them over to the Governor's Palace, and Shi Kefa was preparing to impeach him.

This guy is not a good role, after taking office, he impeached and dismissed many officials, there are three in the inner governor, although he Qi Shangxian is a five-grade Beijing official, but I am afraid that he can't stop the impeachment of local important ministers, every time I think about it, this matter is because of Yang He, that is, regret and anger.

……

On July 15, the Yangshan Execution Ground was still in full swing, and the wolf was rushing to the pigs, and Yang Lian's prestige was shocked inside and outside the state.

On this day, not far from Taizhuang Town, on the edge of the canal.

As soon as it rained, the water in the canal skyrocketed.

Not far from the north shore, on a hill, some knights wearing robes and hats were watching.

One of them looked at the south bank with a sad look, and finally turned into a sigh: "The mountains and rivers of Pizhou, it seems that there is no way back." ”

He sighed and said, his words quite desolate.

Seeing that he is in a strong figure and holding the reins in one hand, he is the elite under Mama Ma, the second master of Pang Wanao Pang of the Sentinel Hall.

He was a skilled horseman, and he did not leave his horse, but he let him escape in the battle that day, and appeared on the edge of the canal at this time.

"Mother, I only knew in the past two days that the officers and soldiers who secretly attacked that day were under the command of the surnamed Yang!" There were several fierce knights around Pang Erye, and one of them was full of anger, and there were knife marks on his cheeks, and he was scolding with hatred at this time, gritting his teeth.

"I'm in charge of the day, and the Pizhou township soldiers came to Shandong, and I think this Ming will be finished." This knight was surrounded by sturdy and cold-blooded men, and they were also scolding one by one at this time.

These people are exactly the fish that escaped the net, mainly the puppet general Han Baokou, the two "marshals" of the Qingshan thieves, and dozens of "generals", and there are not a few fish who escaped.

In the past two days, they have no intention of encountering Pang Erye and others who have also fled, and they have learned that the officers and soldiers who attacked them that day were under the command of Yang He, the general manager of Pizhou Lian, and this cross-border bandit is really lawless.

General Han Baokou Han said even more hatefully: "The surname Yang is still shameless to say that he will defeat me at the border, when will Lao Tzu go to Changgou?" ”

They hated and scolded for a while, and they were helpless, the elite cavalry surnamed Yang was still chasing them, their handcuffs were extremely sharp, they didn't use the fire rope, and they fired three shots in a row, and the brothers were terrified. Not to mention Pizhou, Gunzhou can't stay in this area.

Han Baokou looked at Pang Wanao: "Where to go next, does Second Master Pang have a plan?" ”

Pang Wanao still looked at the south bank, and he said word by word: "Yang thief, fish and meat people, it is difficult to write, this day can't be passed, I heard that King Chuang is surrounding and opening the seal, it is better to go to the righteous army." ”

Han Baokou nodded: "Joining the rebel army is a way." ”

He shouted, "Let's go, let's go to the king." ”

The horses neighed and their hooves murmured, and soon they were walking on the muddy ground.

Soon the rain began to fall again, and then became larger, and the heavens and the earth were again vast.

……

July 16, Nanji.

Recently, what happened in Pizhou is dizzying, no, the green-skinned single bandits have just suffered, and two days ago, the General Administration of Lian held a meeting of the tooth people, standardizing the various authority qualifications of the tooth line.

For example, in order to obtain a tooth sticker, one must "have a solid family and be convinced by the merchants", "it is strictly forbidden for the yamen officials or meritorious gentlemen to act as tooth men" and so on.

The tooth shop no longer has the function of assessing prices, and the tooth shop shall not monopolize the operation, "if the guests are not allowed to negotiate with the shop on three sides, the contract shall be limited" and the patrol bureau of the arrest will be arrested.

That is, after this conference, Pizhou Dental Bank basically returned to the function of intermediaries and some agents. In particular, the "all-trust" dental bank prohibits credit accounts, either according to the market price, you buy the goods of the merchant in full, or you match up and collect some commission money. At the same time, businessmen are encouraged to build their own warehouses and collapsed houses.

For the time being, Yang He has no intention of canceling Yaxing, because he does not have so many business management talents, and Yaxing is indispensable at this time. Eliminate the parasitic rentier group, and eliminate the green-skinned villains who cling to it.

Of course, this kind of reform of the dental system was unanimously applauded by the merchants, and the local tooth people complained a lot, but under the authority of Yang He, they did not dare to oppose it.

But there are also some big businessmen who are excited, and Yang Lian's system design is actually beneficial to them.

For example, the "full support" tooth line, which now prohibits the white wolf with empty gloves, requires very strong strength and reduces competition. Moreover, if foreign merchants have good products and goods, they buy them in full according to the market price, and then sell them to local merchants, and this intermediate price is enough for them to make a lot of money.

Of course, the small and medium-sized tooth people are not without room for survival, foreign merchants really have good products, you will match them with local businessmen, if the business is successful, the merchants must pay enough money to the tooth shop. According to the rule of "three into two" at this time, the buyer and seller withdraw a total of 5% of the commission, which is enough for them to survive.

This is for the big tooth people, for the local small business vendors, all kinds of private teeth are eliminated, and some teeth shops are only left with intermediary functions, such as if you are looking for a house, you must need a special intermediary. You are looking for a job and you need an intermediary. When people buy cows, horses, mules and donkeys, they also need professional tooth people.

They all survived on the bazaars set up on the outskirts of the city.

On the 16th, Gong Qigu picked up a load of shoes to go to the market, starting at the end of last month, Nanji was closed for half a month, I heard that the inside was being repaired, but today it is open.

This is a good thing for Gong Qigu and others, although they sold indiscriminately during this time, they have lived a few days of free and unrestrained days, but the bazaar is a bazaar, the flow of customers is concentrated, and the buying and selling is convenient, which cannot be replaced by indiscriminate selling along the street.

Nanji is near Xiapi Station and Township Covenant Office, not far from the Nursing Home and Drain Ze Garden, at first this side was just a wasteland, and later it was occupied by Qi Liangchou and other private tooth circles, it was dirty and messy, especially when it rained, sewage flowed everywhere, and the guests and traders were not comfortable in it.

Gong Qigu arrived at the gate of the market early in the morning, and found that the whole market had been completely renewed, and the wall had been built and the gate had been repaired.

Gong Qigu heard from the people next to her that the new Nanji was six miles around, and there were four gates, two doors in, and two doors out. When she was outside the west gate at this time, she saw that the black pressure was all crowds, and then there were tax collectors at the door, as well as patrols and arrests from the patrol bureau to maintain law and order.

Gong Qigu looked at it and found that there was a wooden board next to the gate of the market, with notices posted on it, and a literate person read it aloud, so Gong Qigu squeezed over to listen.

“…… This set is in accordance with the order of the tax office, the standard is unified, the weights and measures are unified, all Hu, buckets, scales, rulers are the same, dare to violate, will suffer the following punishments: 1. Warning. 2. Fines. Three hard labors......"

“…… This episode is in accordance with the order of the tax office, the price is unified, all the prices of merchants are guided by the tax office, those who dare to violate, and those who raise prices without permission will be punished as follows: 1. Warning. 2. Fines. Three hard labors......"

"According to Prime Minister Yang's decree, the tax office vigorously encourages transactions, supports small and medium-sized businessmen, and all self-produced agricultural groceries, the purchase price is less than 60 taels a year, only need to pay market use fees, market cleaning fees, free of business tax, free of transaction tax."

"All commodities, tobacco, wine, vinegar, livestock, cotton, grain, medicinal herbs...... The buyer is required to pay transaction tax, and the seller is required to pay business tax, and the tax rates for each item are as follows......"

Zero and zero, the notice is full, and everyone next to him is talking about it, Gong Qigu cares about her shoes. According to the notice, her shoes are "low-value items" and "self-produced agricultural groceries", and she only needs to pay market usage fees and cleaning fees.

There are three grades here, and she belongs to the low-grade ones, as if the market usage fee is three cents, and the cleaning fee is two cents, a total of five cents.

Sure enough, that's good, in a nervous mood, Gong Qigu picked up the shoes and went to the gate, there is a fence here, there are two mouths, one for the people to pass, the other for the goods vendors to pass, there are people dressed as a bookkeeper to sit, and there are people from the patrol bureau eyeing each other, so that people dare not make a mistake.

Gong Qigu looked at a vegetable seller in front of him, and the clerk glanced at his vegetable burden and said: "Low-value items, sold in the market, need to pay market use fees and cleaning fees, a total of five wen." ”

The vegetable seller was happy and surprised, and hurriedly handed over the five yuan that had been prepared in his hand respectfully, and the clerk looked at the shoddy small flat money in his hand, shook his head, and threw the copper coin into a wooden barrel at his feet, and the sound of the copper coin thrown in was loud.

Then the clerk took out a bamboo skewer from a wooden box on the table next to him, which seemed to be gray, handed it to the vegetable seller, and said: "After the sale, go out of the north gate, and the bamboo skewer needs to be returned." ”

The joy of selling vegetables entered the market, Gong Qigu was busy picking up the shoes, and the bookstore also glanced at her shoes, and said: "Low-value items, sold in the market, need to pay market use fees, cleaning fees, a total of five Wen." ”

Gong Qigu was also busy handing over the prepared five-cent money respectfully, and the secretary office accepted the money, and also handed her a gray bamboo stick, and explained: "After the sale, go out from the north gate, and the bamboo stick needs to be returned." ”

Gong Qigu carried the shoes into the fence, and she still couldn't believe it in her heart, so it was over?

But then I realized that it was important to buy and sell.

She looked around the market, and it was also in a new state, with a smooth floor, fine sand, and a drainage ditch, and the ground was not muddy despite the heavy rain of yesterday.

Then it was bustling inside, with many stalls and shops, selling everything, eating, and a dazzling array of food. The crowd of people rushing to the market is also endless, and the market stalls are like long queues, winding into the distance, laughter and the sound of buying and selling, which is really full of vitality and vitality.

Gong Qigu was quite envious of those who had stalls, occupying all good positions, she looked left and right, and chose a slightly remote place, but the passenger flow was also large.

She put down her burden, and was still a little dazed for a while, for a long time, all markets were not allowed to trade with each other, and the buyers and sellers were all decided by the tooth people.

She hadn't sold her own shoes for a long time, but the vendor's ability was still there, and soon, in the customer's inquiry, she gave it to herself: "This sister, my shoes are five cents silver a pair...... It's not expensive, my shoes are woven with the grass by the Man Lake, which is strong and easy to use, cool and fast, and is the most comfortable to wear in summer...... Sister bought it for you, right? I chose the right shoes. ”

“…… This brother, straw sandals are good for three cents of silver, but these are pu shoes? It is stronger and finer than straw sandals, and it is decent to wear out. Seeing that you are also a stylish person, you must also know that many rich people and people who read books wear shoes in summer, and the picture is cool and refreshing! In particular, the shoes are sturdy and much more durable than straw sandals. ”

"This little lady ......"

Facts have proved that Gong Qigu's shoes are really good, she is very famous in this area, and she sells at a conscience price, their family's ancestral weaving skills of pu grass, sold five cents of silver and one or two shoes during the Wanli period, and now other prices have risen several times, and their family is still not moving.

It is indeed comfortable to wear cattail grass in summer, cooler than cloth shoes, and more grade than straw shoes.

Soon, the twenty pairs of shoes picked by Gong Qigu were sold out, five cents of silver for a pair, and about one tael of finely broken silver and copper coins.

Counting the heavy silver and copper coins in the purse, Gong Qigu's eyes were only satisfied.

It is not easy to weave the grass, she weaves poorly day and night, at the end of the day, generally more than a pair, at most two pairs, in terms of a pair of five cents of silver, according to the market price, she could have obtained more than two taels of silver per month. But Qi Liangchou, who killed a thousand knives, and other private teeth controlled the bazaar, and every time they took away her shoes, and finally gave her less than one or two in a month!

In Gong Qigu's family, there are five large and small families, ten acres of thin fields, and less than ten stones are harvested every year. Most of these ten stone rice grains have to be paid various levitudes, and there is very little left.

And their family eats, two big mouthfuls and three small bites, but they are half-grown children, who eat more than adults, even if they are frugal, they want thirteen or four stones a year.

In this way, ten acres of thin land cannot support a family at all, and generally a family of five in the north, without 30 to 50 acres of land, is actually not able to live a solid life.

How to fill the remaining gap, relying on her husband to do some carpentry work, and she weaving her own cattail grass to subsidize it.

The cattail grass she weaves sells well, and if it can be harvested at the market price, it will cost more than two taels of silver per month, and even if the price of grain is more than two taels now, you can buy rice and flour for one stone per month.

Her husband's carpenter's utensils made in his spare time are actually quite well received by the neighbors, and before he was sick, the annual harvest was also more than ten or twenty taels, and the family was rich.

It is also the reason why their family rose rapidly after the separation, and they also built a brick house.

According to the provisions of the Ming Law, grandparents, when their parents are alive, their children and grandchildren cannot separate the family and cannot save private money, otherwise they will be punished.

Gong Qigu and her husband Jiang Erge were divided into homes in the second year after the death of their in-laws, although the Daming Law stipulates that the division of property adopts the principle of "there is no distinction between the eldest and the youngest, and all sons are equally divided", and the eldest son only inherits the status and status, and there is no special property aspect.

But in fact, when they separated from their brother and sister-in-law, they still accounted for the majority of the property, but Gong Qigu and others didn't care, they believed that they could live better with their own hands.

Originally, it was like this, but unexpectedly, Second Brother Jiang was sick, and not only the fields, but even the carpenter's utensils could not do much work.

One of the pillars of the family was gone, and then their private teeth were rampant, taking away most of Gong Qigu's labor income, and their family life decayed when they saw it.

In order to take care of her husband and children, Gong Qigu kept weaving day and night, and in order to feed the man and the child, she herself was often half hungry and half-full, and her face was haggard.

In this way, this kind of life cannot be maintained, and she sees that her family is completely ruined.

Fortunately......

After counting the broken silver and copper coins in the purse again, Gong Qigu smiled and put the purse away.

She planned to buy some rice, noodles, meat and vegetables, as well as the children's favorite sweets.

She took two steps, but suddenly there was a sour feeling, and she burst into tears.

She muttered, "Good days have passed. ”
