Chapter 317: The people's feelings are surging

"To protect Yicang, to protect our life-saving food, we must not let the government give away the food we have worked so hard to save to others. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Yes, the food in this barn is all we have saved hard to survive the famine, and now the government is using it to fund others, what will we do in the future."

................................

Outside the Yicang of Yangzhou City, the water surrounded by the people is impassable, even if the surrounding officials persuade in every possible way, but no one leaves, but with more and more crowds, the scene becomes more chaotic, if it is in the past, in the face of this situation, the officials and the arrest have long been whipped, fists and feet are rushed, but today they are like castrated chickens, in addition to passively blocking the people, not letting them get too close to Yicang, the rest of the time is mostly indifferent.

The reason why this is so is because they and these Yangzhou people's hospitals are not satisfied in their hearts, and the government uses the food from Yicang in order to help the victims outside the city, if it is not forced by life, I am afraid that many people will also join these people.

Some people say, isn't it just to requisition some grain from the warehouse, what's the big deal, if you say this, you will definitely not understand the Yicang system, and you will not understand why the Chinese people, who have always been extremely stoic, and will not rise up to resist until they are forced to do so, dare to gather here to protest.

Yicang system is the most important storage system in China, it can be said that from the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, until the fall of the Qing Dynasty was declared to end, after more than a thousand years, but enduring, and even many dynasties, it is by virtue of the system of Yicang, it can be extended for hundreds of years, which shows the importance of the Yicang system for a feudal dynasty.

The Yicang system began in the Sui Dynasty, at the beginning, it was after Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian felt that after the Western Jin Dynasty, for hundreds of years, the Central Plains was in turmoil, disasters continued, and the people of Li often could only struggle to survive in the year of famine, so as to set up a system.

That is, in the harvest season, a certain amount of grain is stored in a warehouse according to the acres of land, and when it comes to the year of famine, or some critical times, the grain stored in ordinary times is returned to the people according to the original amount, so that the people can survive a certain disaster.

This system, once introduced, immediately won the support of the people of the world, although the Sui Dynasty later because of the Sui Yang Emperor's misdeeds, resulting in the collapse of the country, but after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, but in a short period of time, let the world wither, regain its strength, relying on this Yicang system.

Since then, after enjoying the benefits of the Yicang system, the Tang Dynasty actively implemented the Yicang system at the beginning of its establishment, and even made the Yicang system more standardized and strict.

Although the Chinese people are stoic and weak, when someone really shakes their roots, they are not lambs to the slaughter, and resistance is certain, so when they know that the government is ready to use the food in the Yicang to help the victims outside the city, all the people in Yangzhou City are not calm, even if they are indifferent to the disaster victims, it is difficult to maintain calm, after all, the food in the Yicang is related to their future life and death, and no one will be willing to joke with their lives.

.........................................

Not far from Yicang, a gorgeous carriage stood quietly here, and from the window of the carriage it would be opened from time to time for a while, it could be seen that there was someone in the carriage, and that person was always paying attention to the movement of Yicang.

"Hahaha, it is said that this Di Renjie is shrewd and full of scheming, this time I want to see what good way he can come up with, ten thousand people curse, I want to see how he solves it." A loud laugh came from the carriage.

"Hey, hey, how to solve it, either take the five thousand disaster victims outside the city and get out, or send out the government soldiers to disperse those people, which one do you say he will choose, no matter which one he chooses, I'm afraid his reputation will be completely stinky, don't think about being an official in this life, and dare to say that we Yangzhou is making trouble, let him know and know, whose territory is this Yangzhou." Another voice said coldly.

"Okay, you guys, there is no one on this mouth, some things in the world can be said but not done, some can be done but not said, you are good, whether you can do it or not, whether you can say it or not, this pleasure, it will be said, for a long time, you better die I don't know." Preferably in a deep voice.

From the dialogue between these three people, it is not difficult to see that the people's siege of Yicang this time was planned by them behind the scenes, and the people who can plan such a large-scale operation can be seen that their identities are definitely not ordinary people.

In fact, it is true that the identity of the person in this carriage is also a famous person in the whole Yangzhou, or the entire south.

As we all know, since the time of the Wei and Jin dynasties, after the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, China has entered the era of the family controlling the world, the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, for hundreds of years, no matter which court is in power, really control the operation of the court, and even the world belongs to those who have inherited hundreds, thousands of years of wealthy families, which is why there are 'millennium dynasties, immortal families' in the world.

And all this to the Sui and Tang dynasties, gradually changed, in order to change the atmosphere of the world, or in order to be able to control greater power, after the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, whether it was Emperor Wen of Sui or Emperor Yang of Sui, they were weakening the power of those wealthy families in disguise, Emperor Yang of Sui opened a branch to take scholars, and the establishment of the imperial examination system is a typical example.

It's a pity that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty is powerless, because his ambition is too huge, and his character is not proportional to his ambition, resulting in a huge Sui Dynasty, which collapsed overnight, fortunately, after inheriting the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was reborn, and Tang Taizong, the ruler of the eternal monarch, inherited the policy of the Sui Dynasty, and began to suppress the wealthy family with greater strength. Whether it is the Zheng family, which was once the first in the world, or the powerful Wang family, it has come to an end.

The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, with the suppression of a hundred years, the wealthy family is in decline, but relatively, the most affected are those famous families in the world, or in other words, the most affected are the wealthy families in the north, after all, at that time, the real essence is in the north, the south is in the eyes of most people, just a barren land, even if the south has developed over the years, but it is still not in the eyes of everyone, so for some families around the country, especially from the south of the Yangtze River, the impact is not great, Even, because of the concessions of those big families, these families in various places have achieved a certain development.

This is the case with the Xiong, Ye, and Wen families.

Before the Tang Dynasty, these three families were originally just small local landlords, and there were hundreds of acres of land at home, not to mention the wealth of the family, but they also had no worries about food and clothing, it stands to reason that this kind of small family, in the whole world, is simply countless, how can it become a big family that dominates Yangzhou City in just a few decades, after all, things in the Tang Dynasty are not like later generations, find the right good project, you can immediately change from a poor dick to a rich person.

The reason is that these three are in the right position at a critical time, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, some people were for survival, and some people were for their own ambitions, in any case, dozens of large and small anti-kings rose up one after another, and the land of China once again became full of gunsmoke, and among these dozens of anti-kings, only a few really had strength, He, Wagangzhai in the south, Dou Jiande in the north, and Du Fuwei in Jianghuai.

Before Li Tang did not raise troops, these three families were the most powerful, and they were also the princes who were most promising to replace the Sui Dynasty and establish a new dynasty.

Although the strength of these three families is weak, they are indeed some bold people, if it is a normal refuge, like them, they will definitely not be valued by Du Fuwei, so, after discussion, the three families made a bold decision, they helped Du Fuwei to attack Jiangdu City, and took this traffic artery, so as to determine Du Fuwei's stable position in Jianghuai.

Pay and return always complement each other, make such a great achievement, Du Fuwei not only rewarded the three Xiong Yewen families, but also handed over all the logistics needed by the generals to the three families, taking this opportunity, the Xiong Yewen three families grew rapidly, and gained a huge amount of wealth in a few years, becoming a wealthy family.

Then, after Du Fuwei surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Xiong Yewen and the three families actively moved closer to Li Tang, especially when Du Fuwei's subordinate general Fu Gongqi re-raised troops against Li Tang, Xiong Yewen and the three families used their influence in the Jianghuai land to contact the Tang army and quickly extinguished the Fu Gongqi rebellion, thus gaining Li Tang's respect.

Today, the three Xiong Ye Wen families have been passed on to the third generation, Xiong Wu of the Xiong family, Ye Wenxuan of the Ye family, and Wen Zigao of the Wen family, are the heads of the three families today, because of the special relationship between the three families, although the three families are different, but the children of the three families are comparable to brothers, and it is by relying on the unity and cooperation of the three families that they have become the most powerful wealthy families in the entire Jianghuai land.

"Shiro, do you say that the news is reliable, this time the imperial court arranged for these victims to go south to eat, is it really those big families in the north, who want to deal with us?" Among the three, Xiong Wu is the fourth in the family, but he is the oldest of the three, and Xiong Wu is usually quite resourceful, and over time, invisibly, he has become the mind of these three people, Ye Wenxuan and Wen Zigao will ask him when they encounter something.

"Why, could it be that you, Wen Jiulang, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, are afraid." It was Ye Wenxuan who spoke, among the three, he was the youngest, less than thirty years old this year, so he usually did the most daring things, but sometimes he was too rough and not calm enough.

"Hmph, I'm afraid, when did I Wen Jiu ever be afraid, just do things but not eat wine, it doesn't matter if you eat more and eat less, although we have some power in Yangzhou and even in Jianghuai, it is not enough to confront the imperial court, if the imperial court really wants to deal with us, we have no choice but to take risks, but if this matter is not the original intention of the imperial court, we do this, but we will invite disaster ourselves." Wen Zigao snorted coldly.

"Jiu Lang is right, it is never wrong to be careful in everything, but there is no need to doubt this matter, I have asked some officials again and again, and they all answered, originally the court officials did not agree with those victims going south, but Di Renjie promised them that they would definitely get far more benefits in the south than in the north, so that the representatives of those families in the court agreed to this request, so.

There is only one way for us to do this, and that is to go all out to sabotage this plan, otherwise, what awaits us will be a catastrophe, and we must let those nephews in the north know that we southerners will not be easy to bully. Besides, everything has been done so far, is it still useful to regret it? Xiong Wu still said with a blank face.

Xiong Wu's words were no less than making a final summary, and Wen Zigao and Ye Wenxuan were no longer silent, and for a while, apart from the constant screams outside, there was no other sound.

"Shiro, now that the first step has been completed, should we take further action, then Di Renjie is the person of the officialdom after all, in case he really breaks the siege of Yicang, we ......." After a long silence, Wen Zigao asked.

"Jiulang, just rest assured, if Di Renjie is interested, he will honestly go home, then that's it, if he is not interested, he will continue to play with him, in this Yangzhou land, I still don't believe that I can't deal with a royal history without soldiers and power." Xiong Wu said quite confidently.

After listening to the official Yicang's announcement, all the officials present were silent, not daring to make a sound, and everyone was quietly looking at Qin Cha Di Renjie on the main seat.

Of course, this is just the appearance of these officials, except for a few officials from other places, or officials who really want to do something, most officials have a joke attitude in their hearts.

Throughout the ages, officials are officials are political achievements, after all, with political achievements can continue to rise, what is political achievements, local stability, people live and work in peace and contentment, even if something really happens, officials for political achievements, often will be big things into small, small things, for fear of a moment of carelessness, let yourself be blamed, affect the career, from the history books can see many such examples, for their own political achievements and black hats, let many people suffer, and finally caused irreparable disasters.
