Chapter 834: Jiangnan Journey (10)

"Forget it." After Gao Yang pondered for a moment, he shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile, "If he doesn't come out to make trouble in the future, then this matter will be like this." How to say that he is also a national hero who resists foreign races. I'll give him face this time. If there is a next time, it will not be spared! ”

"You're generous." Yuan Dian said with a smile: "I was assassinated on the street and I was so broad-minded, I wouldn't say that because I couldn't catch it, right?" ”

Gao Yang smiled and waved his hand, "Don't be funny, take Li Guo's scanned portrait and go hunting down all over the world." How can you not catch a huge bounty again? Will he be able to run to Mars? Forget it, let's not talk about it. ”

Stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the bright sun. Shaking his head slightly, "It's a good thing to be like this, it's really speechless." ”

"Huh." Yuan said with a smile, "It's good to get used to this kind of thing." Don't worry too much about it, either. ”

Gao Yang pursed his lips and was about to say something. Outside the room, the voices of the guards could be heard.

"What's the matter?" Gao Yang opened the door, looked at the guards outside the door, and asked out loud.

"Your Excellency." After Gao Yang's chief guard saluted, he said in a deep voice, "Duke Wei Guogong invites your Excellency to the front hall to discuss matters. It is said that there are Tai students from Jiangning Mansion who petition outside the Wei Guogong Mansion. ”

"Huh?" Gao Yang raised his eyebrows, and said with some surprise, "Petition? Interesting. After a pause, he hooked the corners of his mouth, chuckled, and walked out.

After leaving the compound where you are. Gao Yang walked through a round arch and into a garden in the mansion of the Duke of Wei.

The garden is shaded by trees and neatly trimmed. Flowers and trees are unevenly planted, and there are intricately carved wooden cloisters on both sides that are hidden among the strange rocks and flowers of the garden.

In the middle of the garden is a lotus pond with a large area. Clusters of pink lotus flowers bloom in the turquoise water, surrounded by patches of turquoise lotus leaves, swaying with the breeze.

There is a stony winding path in the middle of the lotus pond. It is carved with a variety of delicate patterns. There is a bizarre rockery on each side of the trail. Traces of moss can be faintly seen on it.

There is also a small brand new fishing boat parked on the edge of the lotus pond. The fishing boat has a slightly shorter oar across it. This fishing boat is placed in this elegant lotus pond, but it is not abrupt, but it has an antique charm. The garden is filled with the faint fragrance of flowers of all colors, giving people a feeling of relaxation.

Gao Yang smacked his lips. Lowering his gaze, he walked along the bluestone paved path to the winding path of the lotus pond in the middle of the garden.

It's not the first time I've seen it, though. However, the luxurious life of the Ming magnates still made Gao Yangdu, who was accustomed to seeing the market, smack his tongue slightly. You know, this is just one of several gardens on the residence of the Duke of Wei!

You know, this is in the Ming Dynasty, where productivity is far less than a fraction of modern time and space.

After leaving this beautiful garden with winding paths. Gao Yangcai shook his head slightly, sighed inexplicably and said, "No matter how powerful this empire is, no matter how tenacious and unyielding the Chinese nation is, it can't withstand so many moths that keep sucking blood." ”

"That's right." The origin responded, "With the current productivity, how much does it cost to make these things?" How many human resources will be dragged down by the daily pruning and care? How much food and cloth do you have to consume to feed these people who are out of production? How long can this country resist? ”

"That has to change." Gao Yang lowered his eyelids, and his voice gradually became cold, "If you don't change these, there will inevitably be countless people who will rebel against all this in the future because they can't bear the oppression." Destroy everything again. Before it became an empire on which the sun never sets. This kind of thing is never allowed to happen! ”

All the way to the front hall, the new Duke of Wei was already waiting there. After seeing Gao Yang, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly greeted him.

After a brief greeting, Gao Yang finally knew what the so-called petition was all about.

In order to capture the Assassins in the past two days, Gao Yang mobilized sailors from naval warships to enter the city to enforce a curfew. At the same time, the city gates were closed. These recruits, recruited by Gao Yang, were each well-trained and well-paid. And the vast majority are northerners.

These sergeants don't know who you are, what kind of background you have, what kind of official you are, or how much money you give. Isn't it a reader. They only know commands! No one should think of leaving the city until they receive an order from their superiors! If you dare to make trouble, arrest it directly! Who do you care?

This Jiangning City is the main water and land transportation artery in the south of the Yangtze River. At the same time, it is also one of the economic centers. There are hundreds of thousands of civilians in this city. Curfews and lockdowns have had a devastating impact on everyone. Especially those who are wealthy and have businesses everywhere and those who are educated.

Most of these petitioners were students of Guozijian. These students are all young and vigorous, and their eyes are above the top. After receiving the benefits and gifts of those big merchants, landlords, and magnates, they came to the mansion of the Duke of Wei to petition Gao Yang, demanding that the lockdown curfew be lifted.

"Hmm." After listening to Wei Guogong's speech, Gao Yang nodded slightly and said, "The assassin has been caught, then the lockdown will be lifted." Let the sailors on duty return to the ship. This time it brought trouble to the people of Jiangning Mansion, and asked the prince to explain on his behalf. ”

Gao Yang's words made the new Duke of Wei secretly breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, I don't know what kind of person Gao Yang is.

This era is not the same as the modern time and space. The powerful are the powerful! The powerful have privileges on the surface!

With Gao Yang's status at this moment. Plus he has a large army in his hands. was assassinated in this Jiangning Mansion, and if he doesn't make a fuss, I'm sorry for his identity. Once the anger is connected. I don't know how many people are going to be unlucky!

If this is replaced by someone like Zuo Liangyu, this Jiangning Mansion can be regarded as a blood mold. It is necessary to pay a large amount of money for the reparation and the filial piety of the soldiers. The people were also harassed by the ruffians.

Gao Yang, who received universal moral education in modern time and space, did not have any intention of implicating innocent people at all. Even Na Wen Dezhao's family was not implicated. Gao Yang has never regarded himself as a person here. In his heart, in these time and space, just like a business trip, there is no need to follow the customs.

Similarly, Gao Yang did not have any idea of taking this opportunity to blackmail the place. The sergeants of the Forces nouvelles did not extort any extortion or disrupt the local area when they were enforcing the lockdown curfew. It can be called a miraculous military discipline.

The education and worldview that everyone receives are completely different!

Wei Guogong hurriedly went out to inform Gao Yang of his decision. Gao Yang was drinking tea in the front hall and waiting for Wei Guogong to come back. Who knows, but waiting for something else to come out.

Those wealthy and powerful businessmen are worried about their property. Encourage those students to petition Gaoyang from outsiders. Because the dynasty treats scholars preferentially, these students who can talk about the world's major affairs will at least not cause any trouble if they come out on the bright side.

It's just that these old fritters forget that young people are the most impulsive. Once it is slightly instigated by someone with a heart, it will inevitably lead to unexpected trouble.

Youthful and vigorous!

Gao Yang's kindness was regarded as a retreat by these students. More than 100 Tai students gathered outside the Wei Guogong Mansion heard the new Wei Guogong say that the National Teacher had agreed to their petition and immediately lifted the lockdown curfew. Immediately shouted cheers, as if a great victory had been won.

After that, I don't know who shouted in the crowd, "The national teacher arrested and killed the Tai student for no reason, let him give us an explanation!" ”

This is what Gao Yang said about Gao Yang taking away Fang Zizhuo, the nephew of the eunuch guarding Jiangning Mansion, and his doglegs on the painting boat. At the time of the Assassin's appearance, one of the doglegs was shot by a stray arrow. This matter was pressed on Gao Yang's head.

Hatred of the same enemy.

Since Gao Yang could capture and kill a few Tai students at will, the other Tai students also had the same danger. This matter is unbearable for those who are above the top and always think that they are superior.

After seeing Gao Yang soften, he was 'frightened' by the petition of these students and lifted the lockdown curfew. The heart and courage suddenly rose, and some of the students began to flutter.

There are Tai students who are good friends with Fang Zizhuo and the doglegs on weekdays, and they immediately took this opportunity to make a noise.

These days the pride of the sky has no idea what kind of person they are provoking!

Communication in this era is too low. The more distant the information is from word of mouth or letter, the less credible it becomes.

These people in Jiangnan didn't know everything about Gao Yang, he just regarded Gao Yang as an emperor's favorite servant who broke out. Before seeing Gao Yang's means and strength, they were young and fearless.

Scholars in Jiangnan like to form associations. That Fang Zizhuo and his doglegs are also from the literary society. Something happens to them, and naturally someone is willing to stand up for them.

The style of association in Jiangnan is extremely prevalent. The scholars of these associations do not call for the same party and fight against differences, and they are either their own people or enemies. To offend one is to offend all. The same is true in the north, but the scholars and scholars in the south of the Yangtze River are much more arrogant than their colleagues in the north.

The scholars and students in the Jiangnan area will often blackmail the local officials. Storm the government and write to impeach officials. Even the local squires shy away from these outrageous scholars.

In the Ming Dynasty, the style of asking for help was popular. It's a favor and a back door. These scholars and students, no matter how big or small, as long as it is beneficial, will intervene. It doesn't matter if it will affect others.

Ordinary talents can have hundreds of acres of tax-free fields. Many landowners in the Jiangnan area flock to it. There are also many scholars and students who sell favors to buy relatives and friends. As a result, a large number of taxes were owed to the imperial court in various places.

Many people who read books have made a fortune as a result. On the surface, he wants to blackmail the government. In private, Tian Lian confessed, Huatang beautiful house, and widely stored house slaves. One by one, they all live a fairy-like life. As for the inability of the imperial court to collect taxes, it gradually became unsustainable. We can't calm the turmoil inside and defend against strong enemies outside. What does it have to do with these readers?! (To be continued)
