Chapter 1254 Kill profiteers for the sake of punishing the country's thieves

In the fifth year of the Great Song Dynasty, the fourth day of the fifth month, early in the morning.

As soon as the Nanxun Gate in the outer city of Kaifeng Mansion was opened, the guards guarding the door were stunned. In the past, it was time for the merchants who sold pigs and sheep to drive them into the city for slaughter. Outside the Nanfu Gate should be crowded with stinky pigs and sheep. But I don't know what day it is, the pigs and sheep are gone. Instead, thousands of young people dressed in Confucian robes or robes crowded the official road outside the city gate.

What's going on? These scholars and junior military attachés waited outside the Nanxun Gate early in the morning to open the door? What day is it? Holding a pilgrimage? I haven't heard of it...... And where have the pigs and sheep gone? How is it missing? Could it be that Kaifeng Mansion is going to eat fast collectively today?

When the soldiers guarding the gate were stunned, the soldiers and little warriors outside the door walked towards the south smoke gate with a hula.

There is a tax card on the side of Nanxunmen, and the pigs and sheep entering the city must be taxed by counting. Therefore there was a fence within the gates of the city. The scholars and the little warriors were stopped by the fence, and the soldiers guarding the gate didn't know whether to move the fence or not—so many scholars and the little warriors had to enter the city at the same time, and this thing was not right!

"Quickly remove the fence and let me wait into the city!"

Immediately, a good-looking young scholar shouted, and it seemed that he was a leader.

"This talent," asked a tall and stout janitor in his forties, who immediately smiled all over his face, "what are you going to do when so many of you go into the city together?" ”

The young scholar who took the lead was Zhang Jun, the leader of Taixue.

"Don't hide it from the prison gate, we are four bachelors, and when we enter the city today, we want to subdue the emperor and beg the thieves!"

"A national thief?" The prison door was stunned, "Who is the national thief?" ”

"Wu Haowen, Lu Yihao, and Zhang Bangchang are national thieves!" Zhang Jun said, "These three people returned to Beijing yesterday and brought back a contract to betray the country, and they will give 800,000 yuan to Beiyu every year!" ”

"Eight hundred thousand?" The prison gate sighed, "This dynasty can't use soldiers after all...... It's a momentary cheer up, but it's useless after all. ”

This prison officer was originally a warrior in front of the emperor, that is, a house slave soldier. When he was young, he once followed Gao Taiwei's expedition to the west, earned a set of real estate in Kaifeng Mansion, and also got an official status. Later, the warriors in front of the imperial army gradually became sluggish, and he was also old, so he had no intention of joining the army, so he sought a prison dispatch.

Now when I saw this group of young scholars and military ministers, I immediately remembered that I was also high-spirited back then, and I suddenly sighed with emotion.

"Where's the prison door?" Zhang Jun said, "Since the current official family is in the dynasty, my great Song Dynasty is flourishing day by day, and even the military affairs are chasing the Han and Tang Dynasties." As long as the official family is not deceived by traitors, why worry about the injustice in the north and the injustice of the tyrannical Zhou? ”

The prison gate shook his head: "Since the Great Song Dynasty is growing stronger, how can the official family be deceived by traitorous ministers?" Could it be that the Great Song Dynasty was growing in power under the rule of traitorous ministers? ”

Zhang Jun, who has always been eloquent, was actually stopped by a vulgar prison door, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

The current Great Song Dynasty, Jun must be faint! I don't listen to politics much anymore, and I'm not stupid? As for the ministers...... There are a lot of traitors! Otherwise, how could there be only a dozen or so of the 400 state armies of the Great Song Dynasty that are developing well, and most places are becoming more and more depressed? Isn't it because there are too many traitors and too few Qing officials?

But the peak of the national power of the Great Song Dynasty is also certain! Although most places were depressed, the income of the imperial court was supported by more than a dozen prosperous state armies, and not only did not decrease, but continued to grow.

Moreover, the military strength of the imperial court is far greater than that of the previous hundred years. Although Yan Yun still failed to recover, the West Thief, Hehuang, and Jiaozhi were all beaten obediently.

Among them, the battle of exterminating Jiaozhi was really stunned, and there were so many soldiers and horses who did not defeat Jiaozhi during the Xining period, this time the imperial court sent out a total of thousands of people, plus the naval army of the Hailu City Ship Control Division, and the Jiaozhi was wiped out by dividing five by two......

"Move away, move away!"

"Do you still want to stop our students from going to school?"

"Move out!"

Zhang Jun was speechless for a while, but the soldiers behind him waited impatiently and shouted loudly.

The prison gate did not dare to block it, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to move the fence and let a large group of scholars and military ministers enter Kaifeng Mansion.

The morning market in Kaifeng has begun. On both sides of Nanxunmen Street, there are all kinds of breakfast stalls. Some low-level officials living in the southern city of Kaifeng Prefecture were having breakfast at this time and preparing to go to the yamen on duty. There are also some scholars in Kaifeng Prefecture, most of whom are government students and primary school students, and they are also carrying schoolbags to school at this time.

Seeing a large group of scholars and little warriors rushing over, they all felt that something was going to happen! Immediately, someone asked loudly.

"Where are you showman?"

"Taixue, Martial Arts, Qingcheng Academy and the ...... of Songyang Academy"

"What are you doing in town early in the morning?"

"Fu Que is sparse, begging for a thief!"

"Who is the national thief?"

"Wu Haowen, Lu Yihao, and Zhang Bangchang are national thieves!"

Now there is a newspaper in Kaifeng Prefecture, and it is not a newspaper, but it has evolved into a daily newspaper. And the imperial court is a big sieve that leaks from all sides, and no news can be saved.

Therefore, the traitorous covenant brought back by Wu Haowen, Lu Yihao, and Zhang Bangchang is now known all over the city.

As soon as the scholars mentioned the names of the three people, the big guys knew what was going on.

"Check it out!"

"Let's see how the showmen impeach the national thieves!"

"These three thieves are so hateful......"

"The good world is all broken by these national thieves!"

Watching the excitement is not afraid of big things, let alone in Kaifeng Mansion in the Song Dynasty.

The small officials and students passing by on the street in Nanxunmen, some idlers who have nothing to do, and even some ruffians, are all energetic. While coaxing, they joined the crowd of people who were sparse in Fuque, and they all rushed to the inner city.

The crowd of people reading books is like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger. At first, there were only three or four thousand people, but when they entered the inner city and went to the royal road, the number of people had already exceeded 10,000!

On both sides of the Royal Street, it is the most prosperous and most densely populated area of Kaifeng Prefecture. Watching the lively people, of course, there are even more. The crowd rolled forward, and there were people joining along the way, and soon it was crowded. Everyone was indignant and hated the national thieves to death.

Of course, the national thief is hateful! However, for the people of Kaifeng Prefecture, there is a more hateful existence than national thieves, that is, profiteers.

In recent years, the prices and housing prices in Kaifeng Mansion have been rising! However, the income of ordinary people has been stagnant for a long time - this situation has something to do with the economic structure of Kaifeng Province. In general, Kaifeng is not a production-oriented city, and it is different from Tianjin, Jingdong, Shanghai, Mingzhou, Quanzhou, and Guangzhou.

Kaifeng Province does not have a large handicraft industry that can provide full employment opportunities for laborers. Originally, there were some, but with the rise of the commercial markets on the eastern coast, a large number of handicrafts in Kaifeng Prefecture moved to the coastal commercial markets with low cost and convenient transportation.

The economy of Kaifeng Province has become a situation supported by real estate, finance and service industries. However, these three industries can only provide relatively high incomes for a small number of people. Most people can only earn a meager income from it.

It's the 12th century, not the 21st century, when manufacturing declined. The wages of skilled workers are high! In Tianjin, a family workshop with two or three looms or spinning wheels can weave two or three pieces of cloth or one or two catties of yarn a day. There is no problem in earning more than a dozen taels a month, which is equivalent to the monthly salary of a Song Dynasty Jiupin official.

As for workers in shipbuilding, printing, printing and dyeing, winemaking, woodware, ironware, lacquerware, porcelain, and other industries, there is no problem with seven or eight months of work. And sailors in the shipping industry, as long as they go to sea, will not have less than 15 taels of monthly money, and they can also bring some "private goods" (taxes still have to be added) to make money. If you go to the open sea, such as going to the South Seas, you will have no problem earning thousands of dollars!

The cost of living in these high-income coastal commercial markets is significantly lower than that of Kaifeng. Because of the transportation there, the logistics cost is low, and the land is not as tight as Kaifeng Mansion, and the housing prices are not high - in fact, the land in Kaifeng Mansion is not tight, but it is subject to the difficulties of grain transshipment, and Kaifeng Mansion cannot concentrate too many people, so the expansion of the city has been severely restricted, which has caused high housing prices in the city.

At the same time, grain and raw materials could not be transported into Kaifeng Prefecture at a lower cost, which was also an important reason why Kaifeng Prefecture could not lead the Great Song Dynasty into the threshold of capitalism.

The richest city in the world is actually a city that has been locked in for development.

The population of coastal commercial markets can grow almost indefinitely, so there is no problem of high housing prices...... At least for hundreds of years, there will be unbearably high prices.

Therefore, the current Kaifeng citizens are facing the pressure of high prices, high housing prices and low income, and their lives are very difficult.

Why not go?

If you have a skill, if you don't leave, others will come to invite. Those who haven't left now are either not skilled enough or reluctant to leave Kaifeng Mansion, where their ancestors have lived for generations.

In addition, some people go, and some people come. In recent years, wars have broken out in Hebei and Hedong, but many people have poured into Kaifeng Mansion. The old Bianliang are tired and tired of the work with little money, and these new Bianliang are all rushing to do it!

So the population of Kaifeng Province has been growing, and prices and housing prices don't seem to be falling.

Some of the poorer and poorer old Bianliang have no place to vent their grievances, they are just waiting for a boiling opportunity!

Today, by opposing the national thieves, the big guys are making trouble together!

So when the team on the book squeezed outside the Xuande Gate of the Imperial City, I am afraid that there were 100,000 people.

By this time, the scholars in Shangshu were no longer the mainstream, and the Kaifeng citizens who followed the coaxing were the majority. So the slogan has also changed, it is no longer "punishing the country's thieves", but "punishing the country's thieves, killing profiteers".
