The Phalanx is a special transport name for the transportation of exotic flowers and stones to meet the emperor's preferences. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "Gang" refers to a transportation team, generally ten ships for one "Gang".

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty believed in Taoism and proclaimed himself Emperor Daojun, so there were some very mysterious Taoist figures around him, such as Maoshan Grandmaster Liu Mingkang was one of the most influential figures.

This person presented a set of "Guanghe's Law" to Zhao Jijin, that is, things like Taoism in the house, but it actually involved the improvement of the feng shui pattern of the capital, and he said: "If you want to have more children and live longer, you need to build mountains with stones in the northeast of the capital." ”

So Zhao Ji built "Gen Yue" here, which is an extremely magnificent garden, and its scale is so large that even the Old Summer Palace of later generations cannot be compared. "Gen Yue" is full of the imagination and artistic conception of Taoist culture, which is what they call "fairyland". Zhao Ji lingered in the "Genyue" clouds and clouds, strange mountains and trees, and gradually found the feeling of a fairy.

With the purpose of "learning from nature", the "Genyue" garden naturally lists strange trees and strange stones, so as to reflect the difference between fairyland and mundane, and it becomes inevitable to find strange trees and strange stones.

To this end, the imperial court set up special bureaus in Hangzhou and Suzhou to raid the local people.

If a private house has a wood, a stone, a flower and a grass for enjoyment, the Bureau of Creation and the Bureau of Worship will immediately send someone to seal it with yellow paper, called the things to worship the emperor, and force the residents to guard them, and if they are not careful, they will be punished with the crime of "great disrespect". When moving, the wall was broken and the house was demolished.

All the stones that the two bureaus fancied, no matter how big or small, or in the mountains and ravines, or in the deep water rapids, do everything possible to carry them out regardless of the people's strength.

Among them, there are even those errand officers and soldiers who take the opportunity to extort money, and the families of those who are expropriated from Huashi are often bankrupt, sell their children and daughters, and flee everywhere.

Once, should be given a piece of Taihu Lake stone, four feet high, carried by a huge boat, thousands of servants, through the prefectures and counties, there are people who dismantle water gates, bridges, and dig city walls, so that the local government and the people are miserable.

From Jiangnan to Kaifeng, along the Huai River, the Bianhe River goes up, the boats are connected, the stream is endless, all are the ships that transport these strange trees and stones, so it is called the flower stone class.

Speaking of Huashigang, there are two biggest promoters who have to be said, one is Cai Jing and the other is Zhu Mian, both of whom are among the six thieves.

Zhu Mian was attached to Cai Jing, and most of his ideas came from Cai Jing, that is, his appointment in the Ying Feng Bureau was also the result of Cai Jing's strong recommendation.

When Zhu Mian took office, he was naturally not afraid to spare no effort to do errands, and the above-mentioned Huashi Gang's practices were all from his handwriting.

Zhu Mian was not only brutal but also greedy, while he was scavenging flowers and stones, he also made great profits for himself, took the opportunity to extort, filled his own pockets, and even persecuted countless people for this, even the local officials were trembling in front of him, and did not dare to say a word.

The disturbance of Huashigang affected the vast areas south of the Yangtze River and Lianghuai, and the two Zhejiang provinces were the worst, and the biggest consequence of this move was to provoke the uprising and rebellion of Fang La.

Gao Feng hated Huashigang deeply, and he also knew that this was the craziest moment for Daxing Huashigang.

Gao Feng gradually understood that Hua Shigang had persecuted countless families, and it was normal for Ni Xi'er's family to be affected, he just didn't know the ins and outs of the matter.

Seeing that his surprise frightened Xi'er, Gao Feng hurriedly said, "Miss Xi'er, you go on." ”

Xi'er was indeed frightened, she didn't know what kind of person was in front of her, but she felt that this person was not bad, and she had already made up her mind to die, and she could spit it out when she said it at this time, so she said without hesitation: "My father is a magistrate under Suzhou Prefecture. ”

Yo, she is still the daughter of Mingzhi County, this is not easy, no wonder this girl is so arrogant and pure, it is the result of a good family education, but it is a pity that she is unlucky and has fallen into the dust.

Gao Feng was thinking about it, but he was listening attentively.

"The day my father was an official was the time when Hua Shigang arose, and he had to obey the imperial court's order, but he didn't dare to harass the people too much, so every time he levied the stone and the wood was a false and wrongful snake, to deal with it, however, the establishment of the bureau should make my father no longer able to respond to it, he was very painful for this, and later, he couldn't stand the inner torment, so he wrote many times and asked the court to stop."

From this point of view, this person is a good official, but in this era of faint kings and traitorous ministers, I am afraid that a good official will not be rewarded! Gao Feng was speechless and silent.

Xi'er continued: "For my father's letter, the court not only did not accept it, but also thought that my father was not loyal to the court, so a dismissal order came down and demoted my father to a commoner. ”

This kind of behavior of the imperial court is normal, but Gao Feng knows that things are not so simple, otherwise Xi'er would not have fallen to this step.

Gradually, Xi'er has turned from calm to angry, in fact, more helpless, she sighed again and said: "My father was dismissed, but it is also a good thing, he doesn't have to do things that he can't bear in his heart, and he doesn't have to endure that kind of painful torment, but it is not what people want, just because of his book, offended Zhu Mian, Zhu Mian has a grudge against my father, and decided to take the opportunity to get rid of my father, so he made a treacherous plan to sentence my father to death." ”

"Huh? Your dad was killed? Gao Feng asked.

Although the Great Song Dynasty was mediocre, the number of times it really killed ministers and scholars was very small, and the main reason was because of the three ancestral teachings left by Emperor Taizu, one of which was not to kill scholars.

In fact, the emperors of the Song Dynasty also did this, to say that a person does not kill must be false, but in most cases they do not kill, the consequence of this is that some scholars and doctors have inflated self-confidence, they have no fear, not only to suppress the generals, sometimes even the emperor has no way to take them.

The reason why Gao Feng was surprised was because of this, if Xi'er and her father were blatantly killed, the court would definitely not be able to explain it to everyone.

Xi'er sighed sadly: "Although he didn't kill my father, he didn't spare us, my father was confiscated and distributed, my house was raided, my family was sold, or slaves, or prostitutes, no one can escape this catastrophe." ”

So that's the case, Gao Feng couldn't help but sigh secretly, living in this feudal system, how can there be any human rights? Where is there any heavenly axiom? Those in power don't take others seriously at all, it's good to be able to leave you a life, and as for freedom, don't even think about it.

Of course, he is also very helpless about this kind of thing, his strength is still very weak, he can only sympathize, he can't change it, even to Xi'er, he can only say sorry.

Just before he could speak, he only heard a sound of "pop".

Gao Feng turned his head to look, but saw Feng Xiaomo slapping on the table, and an indelible palm print immediately appeared on the table.

Feng Xiaomo said angrily: "How can this be reasonable? It's a dead country. (To be continued.) )
