Volume 2 Prosperous Bianjing Chapter 136 One Step Ahead
After Liu Susu left, Cheng Jianghai wore a black robe and entered Li Xiang's tent.
Li Xiang looked at Cheng Jianghai in the corner of the tent, his voice was a little dry, "The ignorant people in the eyes of the gentry, in the face of life and death, actually thought of a way to save their children so quickly. They were afraid that the homeless people would gather and that our food would not be enough for all the children to eat, so they immediately threw the children here and gambled that I would be soft-hearted. Isn't this very smart, if anyone says that Xiaomin is ignorant or something like that, Lao Tzu will slap him in the face. ”
"Cheng Jianghai, you say, what's wrong with Da Zhou?"
"Just three days ago, Li Gangzai's son, known as Shaofeng's son, also made a few good poems in Fanlou. The Qing people are competing to sing, and countless talented and beautiful people clapping their hands in response, and now they have not left Gyeonggi Province, why ...... Not like a world? ”
Cheng Jiang Haixin said that where would the dignitaries and gentry care about the life or death of the small people, they would at most treat the small people as ants, and the numbers could not be discussed.
Cheng Jianghai said: "Da Zhou, damn it!" ”
"The princes of the court don't know how to help the people and give the small people a way to live, but they are fighting for power and profit, tilting each other, and balancing; Generals do not know how to kill the enemy for the country, eat empty salaries all day long, embezzle military salaries, and enslave soldiers; The big families of the wealthy families do not know how to restrain themselves, and they are not greedy enough, and they swallow up land all day long, and do not give the small people a way to live. ”
"If you weren't forced to live, how could so many people follow Fang La? I heard that Dongting, Poyang and Chaotai, the water thieves in these four great lakes are becoming more and more rampant. ”
Li Xiang hadn't heard of such news, and he was puzzled, "Why did fishermen become water pirates?" There are countless branches of the Yangtze River, which is enough to feed the people, and the fish tax of the imperial court is very low, and the people drive boats into the water and gather for thieves, what is the reason? ”
Cheng Jianghai gritted his teeth, "The fish tax of the imperial court is very low, but it can't stand the exploitation of officials, parents, officials, local bigwigs, and fishermen, and fishermen, so of course fishermen can't survive." By the way, there are also the birthday compendiums of the past few years. ”
"Fang La's hometown, both are occupied, plus the harvest is not good, the rich family annexes the land...... Fang La is equivalent to occupying the time, people, and people to make such a big battle. It's a pity that he still can't escape the fate of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. ”
Li Xiang nodded, a little puzzled. I didn't see it, in order to encourage himself to rebel, Cheng Jianghai began to analyze the current popular rebellion cases!
Then Cheng Jianghai blurted out, "Look at your subordinates." Nanyang Passage and Jianghan Plain, although there are not many displaced people in each place, they cannot stand the rivers, mountains and forests on both sides, and the hills are dense. ”
"If you don't do it well, a guy like Fang La will get into trouble, and you will have to see it then."
Li Xiang was stunned, Cheng Jianghai laughed a few times, and was also stunned.
At present, there are homeless people, and they do not hesitate to throw the doll to Mingyuezhuang so that the doll can live. If there are really any powerful people who cause trouble, the Nanyang Plain and the Jianghan Plain are erosive, I can't say for sure......
The middle-aged man was right, there are endless homeless people, and Li Xiang can't save them.
As soon as they thought of it, Li Xiang and Cheng Jianghu quickly made a plan, and the homeless people who couldn't support it, such as those who were sick and dying, took in their children.
At the same time, Li Xiang sent people to Yexian County in front to buy grain, and he saved as many people as he could. He also informed Mingyuezhuang to set up porridge sheds near the river along the way from Nanyang to Xunyang to guide the displaced people to Mingyuezhuang.
Liu Decheng and Ding Shihang received orders to prepare to lead the displaced people into the mountains again, and this time some villages directly controlled by Mingyuezhuang joined in, with the goal of controlling the central part of the Qinling Mountains.
At the shipyard, the clerk also quickly received the order. Li Xiang ordered him to make a large number of simple wooden boats and rafts in a short period of time, and prepare to march west along the Han River to provide support for the large group of men and horses in the Qinling Mountains north of the Han River.
After making a plan, Li Xiang took the guards to take the first step, preparing to give a "surprise" to some people in Mingyuezhuang. Along the way, you also have to check the various warehouses, and the workshops of Myeongwolji and Hanjiang are also checked, and finally suddenly return to Myeongwolso.
As soon as Li Xiang set off to return to Mingyuezhuang, someone knocked on the door of the Ma family.
Niu Gao knocked on the door of the Ma family "bang bang", and Yue Fei next to him was about to stop the reckless guy when he heard the sound of the door latch being removed.
I saw several strong women, holding big sticks and iron forks, appearing in front of Yue Fei and Niu Gao. Yue Fei was stunned for a moment, Niu Gao blushed a little, and took two steps back.
Ma Rulan heard that Yue Fei was visiting, and came out to greet her with her in-laws.
Yue Fei, who was dressed simply, worshiped in front of the tablet of Ma Du's commander and offered incense.
Niu Gao was eating and drinking in the living room of the Ma family, and in the study room of the Ma family, which had not been used for a long time, Ma Rulan poured fragrant tea for Yue Fei, "Senior brother must return to the army a year ago?" ”
Yue Fei nodded, "The household department and the three envoys have finally issued money and food, and the affairs of the Privy Council have been completed, and Fei must hurry up and rush back to the army." Hedong Road, Jingdong Road and Jingdong East Road, bandits are in trouble, and Shangguan is in a hurry. ”
Ma Rulan has never been interested in this kind of military affairs, she thought of her sworn brother Li Xiang, "It's really unfortunate." My sworn brother, I always say that I want to see you, one is to thank you, and the other is to see Zhou Dong's predecessor's proud disciple and righteous son, what a young hero. ”
When Yue Fei heard Li Xiang's name, he thought for a few breaths and suddenly realized, "Li Xiang, is it the Li Xiang behind the Great Xiangguo Temple?" Li Xiang, who made a big move in Bianjing City? ”
"Senior brother knows?" Ma Rulan is strange, is her sworn brother really so famous?
Yue Fei took a sip of tea, his angular face was full of smiles, "How can you not know?" Some people in the forbidden army are cooperating with Li Xiang and Daxiangguo Temple, which is why they are angry. I heard that this sworn brother of my sister is still a disciple of Mr. Aoishi? ”
Seeing Ma Rulan nodding, Yue Fei arched his hand and said: "Brother Li Xiang can take words and call him by his name, which is always bad." ”
Ma Rulan was stunned, she really didn't know if Li Xiang had taken the word, she usually called her brother and brother.
Yue Fei thought to himself, Mr. Xu is Qingshi hasn't thought about it yet, what words to give Li Xiang, right? He didn't ask any more, and chatted with Ma Rulan about two sticks of incense, and then had dinner at Ma's house......
After saying goodbye from the Ma family, Yue Fei saw Niu Gao's eating appearance, and he was speechless and funny.
Niu Gao is not ashamed, who made the Ma family's stir-fry so chic? Especially the braised pork and stewed bones, it's simple. It's Yue Fei's senior sister's house again, where is the need to be polite?
The two of them were so noisy, they went out of the north gate of Bianjing, and rode their horses to Hedong, which is what Li Xiang called Shanxi.
Princess An Ning also went out of the house on the day Yue Fei visited the Ma family, first went to the most lively Pan Lou for a turn, and then went to the drunken Sangjia Wazi to play.
Princess Anning Chai Ningxin, who doesn't know which one in Bianjing City doesn't know, which one doesn't know.
Although the princess and the son of the Zhe family have been together, it is no longer a complete body, but thinking about this famous son of a noble daughter of the heavenly family and a talented woman of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he is still like a carp crossing the river. Facts have proved that the princess with a beautiful appearance and excellent learning will never lose her price.
Chai Ningxin passed by the charcoal stove shop with simple decoration but very spacious, that's right, it was the name of this scumbag, and remembered that interesting cousin Zhi Yanwen, so he walked in to watch.
In addition to the large charcoal stove used by the wealthy and noble, this charcoal stove shop also has three main models.
The first is used in small people's homes, which is very simple. The charcoal stove is relatively thin and can be held by an adult. Put it in the bedroom of the small people's house, the family lay on a kang, as long as the room is not very leaky, it is not very cold, and they fall asleep when they are alive.
The second type is used for families with surplus grain, such as those with more than 30 acres of land, or textile households in Jiangnan. The charcoal stove is relatively thick, and then connected to a long iron cylinder, which can ensure the warmth of dozens of square meters of room.
The third is for the small rich family, which is called a small landowner in the township, or a good family, and is not yet a squire. In the production process of this charcoal stove, the process of mud and iron sheet is very particular, as long as you are willing to use coal, no matter how large the study room can be kept warm.
Several of the commanders, at the suggestion of their staff, also accepted "customized" services from some people, such as gold and silver plating, or carved patterns, and carved a small space for hot meals. All cores are a specification, ready to switch to cleaner and more efficient carbon balls at any time.
In order to reflect the effect, a total of 10 charcoal stoves of three models are fully activated on the first floor of the charcoal stove shop.
Not long after Chai Ningxin entered the store, she felt a little hot, and then was surprised to find that this store actually had a special place for noble ladies to change clothes. As for the women of the small people's house, ahem, it would be nice to be warm, where can it get too hot.
Entering the clean and bright changing room with the two maids, Chai Ningxin became more curious about the person behind the Great Xiangguo Temple.
Clever settings and ingenious ideas can be seen everywhere, how powerful is that person named Li Xiang in the trading of goods? Strange, isn't that Li Xiang a disciple of the old man Qingshi, how can he do some tricks and tricks?
said that it was a change of clothes, but Chai Ningxin just took off her fur and put on a luxurious jacket.
Coming out of the fitting room, Chai Ningxin nodded towards the steward of the princess's mansion. The external steward of the princess's mansion stepped forward and whispered a few words in the ear of a white young man, who saluted Princess An Ning in a panic and quickly informed the shopkeeper to go.
The shopkeeper with a kind face, with a shiny mustache, ran down quickly.
Chai Ningxin signaled to be exempt, the shopkeeper was worthy of being an old Jianghu, and he didn't say a word in a single move, but just led the way.
The shopkeeper welcomed Chai Ningxin into the best room.
Chai Ningxin saw that the tables and chairs in front of her were urgently replaced with new ones, and she thought that this shopkeeper was really powerful.
The princess didn't speak, but curiously flipped through the new leaflets on the table.
The boutique promotional page of the charcoal stove shop is of course not in the hands of Shen Popi, the kind outlined with black lines, but the stick figures that are popular in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is said that today's officials are experts in this way. The picture is lifelike and has a unique charm. Of course, this kind of thing cannot be printed, and can only be copied by skilled painters one by one, and each leaflet is worth more than ten times.
The leaflet adopted some of Li Xiang's comments.
On the left is a brief introduction to the charcoal stove, followed by the advantages and disadvantages of each model, as well as the optional "customized service", and the necessary safety reminders are the focus.
On the right is a scene of life on a charcoal stove.
There are rainy and snowy days, in the charcoal stove room, the picture of celebrities and scholars cooking tea and composing poems, the warmth and liveliness in the room, and the cold and lonely between heaven and earth are relatively interesting.
There is a cold and snowy land, the head of the house enters the house, the noble lady takes off the coat for her husband, and the charcoal stove is burning.
There is also a beautiful picture of sitting around at night, embroidering and sewing clothes under the big candle, drinking honey tea and eating snacks.
The shopkeeper didn't know the intention of the emperor's favorite princess, the sister of the current official family, and said cautiously: "Your Royal Highness the princess, but you want to install a charcoal stove for the princess's mansion?" Just send someone to know it, and someone from the small shop will come to the door with all the guys, and let the princess choose. ”
