Chapter 13: The Gospel of the Beggars

On April 29, 573 A.D., the city of Xuyi was completely boiling.

The entire Xuyi City, whether it was a dignitary or a pawn of a peddler, was shocked and suspicious, "Why?" It becomes the first thing people say to each other when they meet.

"Why? It is rumored that the king of Lanling is generous and benevolent, why did he withdraw the porridge field? Heavens, the cruel war has taken away my wife and children, the cold-blooded landlord has robbed me of the last grain of grain, and now the porridge field on which I relied for survival has also been abolished. ”

In front of the Inner History Mansion, an old man with white hair and a candle in his last years looked up to the sky and wailed, his voice was sad and poignant, which made people feel sad and almost want to cry.

At this time, it was still early, but all kinds of people gathered in front of the Inner History Mansion, surrounding the already small Inner History Mansion, and people were talking about it and making it noisy.

"Lord Neishi said that our title deed property has been recovered, but we need to pay some transportation and horse fees for the army, and I don't know how much?"

"Hey, the world is as black as a crow, this world is ......"

"Come in, your ancestors' property can't be lost, it's good to get it back!" This was discussed by some of the landlords and gentry.

"We are really blind to come here in Xuyi, if we go directly to Chen *jun, we can still get a piece of land!" This is a yellow-faced and thin-skinned homeless person sighing with remorse and resentment.

"Great Qi is dying, Great Qi is dying, Emperor Shenwu, have you seen it? Your country is about to be ruined! Open your eyes and see, look! ”

……

Compared with the noisy and chaotic outside world, in the inner history mansion, the happy old god is sitting in the living room, crossing Erlang's legs, lazily lying on the back of the chair, drinking tea leisurely, looking light and breezy.

Gao Changgong frowned, pacing back and forth on the ground, his breath disordered. A melancholy face.

"Xing'er, it's only been less than an hour, and the pot has exploded outside, something will happen sooner or later if it goes on like this, why don't we cancel the plan!" Listening to the increasingly fierce words outside, the corners of Gao Changgong's eyebrows couldn't help jumping, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

happily put down the tea, stood up, gently pressed Gao Changgong to sit on the main seat, poured a cup of tea for him, and then said slowly with a smile: "Daddy, there is no turning back when you open the bow, how can the plan be stranded here, doesn't that make you lose your trust?" ”

"Even if you lose your trust, it's better than causing a catastrophe!" Gao Changgong put the tea on the table and looked happy worriedly. At this time he was restless, where did he get the mood to drink tea.

smiled happily: "Don't worry, Dad, it's almost time, it's time for you to meet those big landlords, don't be soft when the time comes!" This Xuyi County is your fiefdom, they can't turn the sky, and besides, they have already brought people to maintain order! ”

Looking at the calm face of happiness and the chance to win, and then thinking of the benefits of the success of the plan, Gao Changgong finally put down the worries in his heart and nodded lightly.

He pursed his lips and smiled happily, and shouted outside the door, "Fu Bo, tell the landlords and gentry outside the door to come in!" ”

"Yes, young master." Fauber answered and went to inform him, and happily turned and walked out of the living room and returned to his room.

Soon, Happy walked into the living room with a large suitcase. put the box next to Gao Changgong, clapped his hands happily, and said, "Daddy, I'll leave the rest to you, and the child will go to the city to post notices." ”

Gao Changgong opened the box, which was full of certificates of title deeds and other things. Gao Changgong looked at him with a look of surprise and said happily: "So many, how did you get it?" ”

Happy smiled mysteriously: "This matter is a long story, and I will tell you slowly in the future!" After speaking, Happy picked up the bamboo basket that was put aside, quickly walked out of the living room, and walked out of the back door of the mansion.

"General, you're here." He had been waiting by the door for a long time, and when he saw that he was happy, he hurriedly saluted.

He hummed happily and asked, "Nothing happened in the city!" ”

"Although the crowd is angry now, there is nothing out of the ordinary, and the last general has already instructed the brothers to be vigilant!"

"Well, put these notices out there, and take care to keep order." Happily, he handed the bamboo basket on his back to the one who did not give it up.

"Yes." He didn't give up and left quickly, and he didn't return to the mansion happily, but walked towards Ye Jin's mansion leisurely.

It didn't take long, and in the entire Xuyi City, everyone rushed to tell each other a message.

The county keeper Zheng (Gao) Changgong will re-measure the planned land, and he will also hire displaced people to open up the wasteland, not only for two meals per meal, but also for wages. As for the elderly, women and children, there is no need to worry, the government has its own arrangements and will never give them up. However, all displaced people must go to the government to register and settle down, and if they do not comply, they will be driven out of Xuyi County.

This is tantamount to a bombshell, which makes Xuyi City even more boiling.

In the early morning, the Inner History Office posted an announcement that the extraordinarily large burglary case a few days ago had been detected, and the robbers were sent by Chen Guo to cause turmoil and panic to Xuyi, in order to win without a fight. The Inner History Mansion dispatched more than 1,000 defenders outside the city, which lasted five days, and finally captured all the people involved, and all the stolen land deeds and property have been recovered. Those who have been stolen can go to the Inner History Mansion to claim the lost property, but they need to pay some fees, the money for the army's food and grass.

The announcement also stated that all porridge farms will be removed today, and how the displaced people will be resettled is yet to be determined.

An hour later, the second announcement was posted, and a few families were happy and a few were worried. For the homeless, it is natural to be happy not to starve, and to have money. For those who have deceived the people and seized other people's land by force, it is tantamount to a slap in the face, and it is naturally worrying.

In Ye Jin's house, in a pavilion.

"The little lotus has just shown its sharp horns, and there are already dragonflies standing on their heads." With a faint smile on his face, he lay leisurely on the chaise longue and sang softly.

The pavilion was built on a small pond filled with lotus roots. Although it is not yet flowering season, the lotus leaves are already stretching out in large areas, showing off their delicate nature in the sun. In the rich green patches, there is occasionally a hint of pink, which is a budding flower bone. Several dragonflies frolicked and chased around the flower bones, so happy.

"Good poetry, good poetry, Gao Gongzi is so Yaxing!" Ye Jin, who was also lying on the side, spoke up.

He smiled happily and shook his head without words.

"Isn't Childe worried about the development of things outside?" Ye Jin sat up and looked happy.

Happy chuckled and said, "There's nothing to worry about, I can't turn the sky." My father's policies are only good for the people, and the people will not oppose them, and that is enough. I wish I had some people who let those soldiers practice their hands, so as not to deal with trouble in the future, this Xuyi County is my father's fiefdom, and only one voice is allowed! Although his voice was flat, it couldn't hide the faint murderous aura in it.

Ye Jin's breath was stagnant, looking at Xingxing's slightly childish, beautiful face like a woman, and in addition to deep admiration for Xingxing, she was also deeply curious. Although the two have not known each other for a long time, they are happy and mysterious.

I am happy to write a good handwriting, in Ye Jin's opinion, it is definitely everyone. He is only thirteen years old, but he does not have the impetuosity of his peers, on the contrary, he is steady and decisive, and many times makes you think that what is in front of you is not a child, but a well-known and shrewd adult.

What made Ye Jin feel most incredible was that he was happy to have those whimsical and unbelievable business strategies in his mind, which were unheard of for a person who had been in business for half his life, but every idea and suggestion was exquisite. Every time he thought of this, Ye Jin couldn't help but sigh that God favored him, so that his 20,000 taels of gold were not wasted.

"Uncle Ye, how are the things being prepared, can you start work tomorrow?" Just when Ye Jin was stunned, he turned his head happily and asked, his expression was a lot more serious.

"In the past few days, according to your request, almost all the carpenters in Xuyi City have been swept away by me, and Mr. Lu Ping has led the construction of chairs, except for those sent to the Inner History Mansion and me, other finished products are stored in the warehouse!"

"I've paid for a few big mansions, and with a little renovation, they can be used as workshops, factories as you call them. It's just that there are a lot of things to prepare, and it will take some time, and there is a shortage of manpower. Ye Jin said.

"Hmm," nodded happily and smiled: "It's good to have a place, don't worry about manpower, as much as you want." It's just that we don't have much time, and I may have to go to Yecheng in a while, and we have to get our business on track before then. ”

"To Yecheng?" Ye Jin looked happy in surprise, and said puzzledly: "Although the Chen * army has not yet attacked, we need to prepare early, don't you help Hou Ye defend the city?" ”

He smiled happily, stood up, glanced at the clear sky, and walked out with steps, and at the same time his somewhat ethereal voice came: "With my father and Wang Lin, the king of Baling, Chen *jun is not afraid, but time is not waiting, I must go and give Yang Jian some eye medicine, but I can't let his pace be too fast!" ”

Looking at the back of the happy departure, Ye Jin frowned, and said to himself suspiciously: "Yang Jian? Isn't he from Zhou Guo? What do you want to do with him? ”

After leaving Ye Jin's mansion, he happily changed into the clothes of an ordinary soldier and maintained order in the city with a group of soldiers.

Sure enough, as expected, there were not a few people in the city who took the opportunity to pick quarrels and provoke trouble.

For those who want to take the opportunity to steal and rob the gangsters, Happy handed over directly to Zhang Shunzhi's five teenagers, and last night, after discussing with Gao Changgong, Happy arranged everything. Although a few people have only been learning martial arts for a short time, there is a lot of strength in numbers. There are beggars in the city, who speak happily, and catch a real thief and reward him with a hundred dollars, and if he deceives others to get money, he will not be spared.

Conflicts and contradictions do not happen for no reason. For many landlords and squires, the arrival of Gao Changgong was extremely reluctant and unwelcome to them. In the past, Xuyi belonged to the state, and no matter how they encroached on the people's land, they would turn a blind eye to the local officials as long as they filled their waists.

But this time is different, Xuyi has become Gao Changgong's fiefdom, they are doing nonsense, that is, taking food from others, how can Gao Changgong allow it? If they do not plunder the people's fat and ointment, what will they use to maintain a luxurious life?

Naturally, when the conflict arose, some people took the opportunity to fan the flames in a vain attempt to provoke public anger and make Gao Changgong give in. Unfortunately, the mood of the displaced people quickly changed from anger to excitement, and only a small number of foolish people who received money followed to make trouble, but as soon as there was a little turmoil, the leader was directly arrested by the wolf-like soldiers.

On this day, the beggars of Xuyi City lived happily, the happiest moment ever, they thanked their mysterious helper from the bottom of their hearts, and gave them the opportunity to make a fortune and live a good life.

Although they all eagerly hoped that the sun would not set and that there would be more troublemakers, the evening still came as scheduled, and the troublemakers died down, and perhaps in the dark they would have small movements, but they could only be small movements. There's no way, who let Happy Eyeliner spread all over the city, and the people who provoked trouble were caught one by one?
