Chapter 178: Resurrection and Flower Planting in the Afterlife
The second command is to keep your hair and be easy to wear.
In the notice, Jiang Chuan clearly stated: While changing into Chinese clothes, the people can choose to shave all of them so that they can grow their hair in the future. You can also cover it up with a hat and grow it later.
For half a month, everyone must complete the change of clothes, and if there are any more people who continue to keep money rat tails, those who wear Manchu horse coats and left robes will be arrested and put in prison.
At the same time, Jiang Chuan also took into account the price increase that might be caused by the issuance of the order, so he also explicitly prohibited all clothing shops, cloth shops, and tailor shops in the city from increasing prices at will. If a complaint is received from the people, not only will these shops be seized, but the proprietor and the shopkeeper will be imprisoned.
When the market needs to soar and supply exceeds demand, the seller's market takes the initiative, and the price increase is an inevitable business law.
Jiang Chuan, of course, understood this, and sent people to recruit the owners of all the garment shops, cloth shops, and tailor shops in the city to the prefect's yamen to give some instructions, telling them that as long as they do business sincerely, if they do not receive complaints within half a year, they can pay half of the commercial tax next year.
These merchants are still afraid of Jiangchuan's thunderbolt methods to deal with those big and wealthy businessmen, so they naturally dare not take the risk of going bankrupt and going to prison to make that little profit.
In fact, they all know in their hearts that even if the price is not raised, they will do business according to the original price, and there are so many people in the city, they will make money without losing money, and the profits in it are also considerable.
But I never expected that Wu Anhou would be so merciful and sympathetic to everyone, although the price increase was prohibited, but it was also exempted from fifty percent of the commercial tax for a year, and this alone would pay a lot of money.
The less money is naturally earned, so everyone is surprised and is a voice of gratitude.
Through this incident, everyone discovered that this young Wu'an Hou not only had the thunderbolt method of the angry King Kong, but also the benevolent heart of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and suddenly felt a sense of respect for him.
In addition, the matter of growing hair and changing clothes was originally something that all the Han people had been looking forward to, so as soon as this decree was announced, the whole city immediately rejoiced. Many people even burst into tears on the spot and ran to the prefect's yamen to kneel down and thank them.
This day is really too long for these Han people who have been living under the iron hooves of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for so many years.
Many people cut off the rat tail pigtails on the back of their heads with knives on the spot, and without knives, they ran to shops on both sides of the street to borrow scissors, and after cutting them, they helped others cut them.
Many people cut off the ugly rat tail on the back of their heads, threw it on the ground, stomped on it a few times, and finally spat it a few times.
Many people wept bitterly after cutting, as if they had thrown away not an ugly pigtail, but a heavy mental shackle.
Emotions are very contagious among people who are experiencing the same situation. One person crying soon caused a crowd to cry, and finally everyone present burst into tears.
The crying grew louder and louder, attracting more people. After understanding the situation, the latecomers also cut off their braids happily and joined the crying crowd.
The crowd grew more and more, and the cries became louder and louder, so that the guards guarding in front of the prefect's yamen thought that these people were going to start a riot, and they all became serious and made a posture of vigilance.
Jiang Chuan was also stunned after getting the news, thinking that there was some extraordinarily unjust case, which caused so many people to cry in front of the prefect's yamen, and hurriedly took people out to check.
After learning the truth of the matter, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but have sour eyes.
He finally understood that these people were crying for their sadness and humiliation for so many years, and they were also crying happily for finally being able to wear back their Chinese clothes.
His soul is a modern person, although he can't quite understand the complex and psychology of the ancients that "the body is skinned, and the parents dare not destroy it", but he has seen from the history books the tragic historical facts of the desperate struggle between the people of Jiangnan and the Manchu Qing Dynasty in order to keep the clothes and crown of China.
At that time, in order to completely destroy and enslave the Chinese people from the cultural roots, the Manchu Qing Dynasty put forward the slogan of "keep your head without hair, keep your hair without your head", in a vain attempt to threaten the Chinese people with death to shave their hair and make it easy to obey.
But I didn't expect to be met with the fierce resistance of the people of Jiangnan, Yangzhou 10th, Jiading Three Massacres, Jiangyin Massacre, these Manchu Qing Dynasty lost their conscience, inhumane criminal acts, but also the people of Jiangnan, the Chinese people are unwilling to give in, unwilling to abandon the Chinese clothes, soaked in blood and tears of the history of resistance.
For the Chinese people, the bun on their heads and the clothes on their bodies mean that they have inherited the blood and inheritance of their ancestors, and they also represent an identity that is also a Chinese child.
The Chinese clothes carry the active differences of the hundreds of schools of thought, the beautiful atmosphere of Chu Ci and Han Fu, the splendid chapters of Tang and Song poems, and the loyalty to the country after the hard work, and the painstaking solitude of the worries and worries of the world and the joys and joys of the world.
Without the Chinese clothes, it is like a tree without roots, the land without water, and the river without its source, and in the end what awaits will inevitably be exhaustion and death.
The Chinese clothes are not so much the form as the outside, but the fact that it has grown deeply into the hearts of generations of Chinese people.
Looking at the people in front of him who were crying and weeping, and then thinking about the various cynicism of Hanfu lovers in later generations, and in turn wearing the Japanese military uniforms of the Japanese who brought great suffering and disasters to the land of China, Jiang Chuan had mixed feelings in his heart for a while, and his heart was like a boulder blocked in his heart for a while, his eyes were sour, and he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say to these people.
In the end, he just bowed deeply to the people, his eyes slowly swept over the crowd, and he said in the most sincere voice: "Folks, I, Jiangchuan, can assure you here. As long as I, Jiangchuan, live in this world one day, as long as our Huaxia sons are united, I will never let Huaxia be enslaved and bullied by foreign races again. Our Chinese clothes will be passed down from generation to generation like the previous two thousand years, and will even spread to every piece of land where the sun shines. Where the sun shines, there will be a Chinese erlang and a Chinese dress. ”
Listening to Jiang Chuan's sincere vows, the crowd was silent at first, and then boiled like boiling water that suddenly boiled.
"Long live Wu Anhou!"
"Long live Marquis Jiang!"
"I'll wait to follow Hou Ye to the death, and protect my Huaxia clothes all over the world!"
The people were excited, raised their arms and shouted, and the heartfelt shouts gave Jiang Chuan a strong sense of accomplishment in his heart, accompanied by a sense of sacred mission.
This situation suddenly reminded him of a sentence in the ending song of the anime "Those Things About That Rabbit" that he had watched before:
"I don't regret entering China in this life, and I will still plant flowers in the next life."
