Chapter 262: Mob
Although it's already the middle of the night now, I should have washed and slept in the past, but the rescue is like fighting a fire, who can still sleep at this time? Qin Hao, Li Tai, and Li Xiaogong hurriedly didn't even have time to tidy up their clothes, so they turned over and galloped towards Ninghai County under the leadership of the comer.
Since ancient times, mob incidents have been the most sensitive matter, and if you shed blood, it will be a rebellion!
In feudal society, if you have 10,000 legitimate reasons, as long as you dare to rebel, you will inevitably die, but in the same way, even if you have a million legitimate reasons, as long as there are disaster victims in the jurisdiction to rebel, the emperor will be merciful if you lose your official hat, and eight out of ten will have to die together.
"What's going on, why do you want to resist demolition, Xu Jie?"
"General Xu is not in Yangzhou City at all, he has already gone to Ninghai County, since the enclosure, General Xu has only slept for two hours every day, day and night to appease the demolition people, he is the first to arrive when something happens, but this time I really didn't expect it."
Qin Hao naturally knew Xu Jie's hard work, but it was a pity that sometimes Huang Ni breathed into the crotch of his pants, it was not but, but now he couldn't care about it, and hurriedly asked: "Can there be grassroots officials who are greedy for demolition funds?" Can there be soldiers who are rude to the demolition and relocation of the people? Are there any casualties? ”
"Back to the gang leader, General Wang Fangyi has established a military law team to patrol the coast day and night, and anyone along the coast is welcome to report, who dares to corrupt the money for demolition and relocation on the spot, who dares to be greedy for this conscience money, as for rough law enforcement, our Yangzhou soldiers are all villagers in the nearby townships, who can do this kind of thing that has no son?"
As soon as he heard that there was no such thing, Qin Hao's mind was slightly lowered, at least Xu Jie's fate was saved, at least it was not a subjective mistake by man.
"Tell me what's going on."
With this person's narration, Qin Hao finally figured out the ins and outs of the incident.
After all, the early years of the Tang Dynasty were not as overpopulated as in the Kangxi period, in fact, there were many borderless lands after the turmoil in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the population was also sharply reduced, and at this time there were large tracts of land in the south that were not much developed, so there were not many people living along the coast, especially in places suitable for the salt pans with high tides, and the people in the north who could not escape at the end of the Sui Dynasty were the mainstay, and the people who lived in that area for generations were actually quite few. After Qin Hao made such a bloody investment, most of the people were still willing to cooperate with the imperial court.
You must know that the demolition compensation given by Qin Hao, even if it is in Guanzhong, you can buy the same area of land, which is simply the conscience of the industry in feudal society, plus the good name accumulated by him and Xu Jie when they were in Luoyang, and even the people are grateful to kowtow to build the archway of the ancestral hall.
However, there are some things that some people really can't do with money.
Our country, for thousands of years, has been ruled by filial piety, there has always been a hundred good filial piety first, whether it is the people or the nobility, unfilial piety is the world's first sin, so this demolition of the living is quite easy to do, but the dead are really troublesome.
According to customs, the Chinese people pay attention to the soil for safety, once they enter the soil, they must not alarm the ancestors, so digging people's ancestral graves is also the first big enemy of the people, Qin Hao has done his best to appease the people who were digging their ancestral graves, and most of the good fields donated by Langya Wang's family have been replenished to these dead people, but there are sensible people, but there are still people who are not sensible, no, this time there will be an accident.
Geng Laohan is fifty-seven years old this year, this is already the age of knowing the mandate of heaven in feudal society, I heard that the imperial court is going to expropriate their family's arable land, there is no dissatisfaction, the whole world is not the king's land, the court wants you to return the land to you money, this is already the holy lord in the court, there is nothing to be satisfied with.
But those who were soldiers not only wanted his field but also wanted to move his ancestral grave, and all of a sudden Geng Laohan was blown up, and on the day of the move, he hugged the ancestral grave and did not let go, crying and screaming, and several government soldiers finally got impatient after waiting for a long time, and went up to pull him.
But as soon as this person got older, his body was not good, after crying for a long time, Geng Laohan had already cried and weakened his body, and as soon as the autumn wind blew, his body was almost exhausted and the lamp was dry.
The two government soldiers were dumbfounded, and they didn't know what to do for a while, and Geng Xiaohan, the son of Geng Laohan, didn't do it when he saw this, as the saying goes, killing his father is not the same hatred, Geng Xiaohan's eyes were red when he landed, and when the two government soldiers were confused, he took out a dagger and stabbed one of the two government soldiers to death.
The government soldiers, who are generally assigned to a team, are the villagers, and the government soldiers who are not dead are also anxious when they see that their companions have been killed, and when they see that Geng Xiaohan is crazy like a demon, he is about to stab himself again, and he takes out a knife and kills Geng Xiaohan in a hurry.
This is a hornet's nest, this village is called Gengjia Village, just listen to the name, the first eight or nine out of ten here are all relatives, and the people of the early Tang Dynasty have experienced the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, which one is really good at stubble, the whole village rioted, and the living soldiers ran away overnight.
After Xu Jie heard the news, he rushed to Gengjia Village overnight with Wang Fangyi to deal with the accident in person, anyway, people died like lights out, generally speaking, as long as you sincerely apologize and give the whole village a little more demolition fee, nine times out of ten, things will still be big and small.
But on the contrary, there were many mountains and tigers, and this time the boat capsized in the gutter.
At this time, it has been more than half a month since the beginning of the enclosure, and it is inevitable that some people have heard the rumors in the past half a month, knowing that their land is now not only not dilapidated but a precious salt field, but after all, the Chinese people are still much more honest, and the imperial court does not allow the sale of smuggled salt, otherwise they will be killed, so the vast majority of people have not made a moth.
But the Gengjia Village incident was accidentally played big.
At first, a village in Gengjia Village made a fuss about Geng Laohan's family, but later all the villages in ten miles followed suit, because they may not know what to call it and not blame the public, but they still understand the basic meaning, and those villages that made trouble had to give a lot more when they divided the money and land.
They are so troublesome in these ten miles and eight villages, and the greed of other villages around them has also been ignited, and they are also baby bumps, why can they make trouble, we can't make trouble? Since the ground under our feet is a treasure field, why don't we let us dry the salt ourselves? Even if we don't let us dry the salt ourselves, we may not be able to follow the essentials more.
So, when Xu Jie and the others arrived, the riot had changed from a village to a county, and if it was not handled properly, this was a rebellion, so they quickly sent someone to Yangzhou to invite Qin Hao and the three of them.
