The changes in Jinyang City can't be hidden from the people. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThere is nothing more rapid in the world than rumors. Good things don't go out, but evil things go a thousand miles. Although the Wang family has no evil deeds in Taiyuan Mansion, they even often pave the way for the construction of bridges in the countryside and have a good reputation.

But these are just the consistent practices of the squire landlords. The rabbit also knows not to eat the grass next to the nest, the roots of the Wang family are in Taiyuan Mansion, in Jinyang City, no matter how much they harm people, it is impossible to harm the villagers.

However, even if the Wang family gives some small favors, they can't stop what they do. In the entire Taiyuan Mansion, who doesn't know that the biggest salt lord is the Wang family? This is already an open secret, and many people know it, but they dare not speak out against the high price of salt.

After learning that the imperial court decreed the cancellation of the official salt sale, the people of Taiyuan Mansion secretly clapped their hands one by one, and they all understood that the Wang family was a grasshopper after the autumn, and they couldn't reach it for a few days. Who knew that the Wang family was so bold that they united with the rest of the salt merchants and continued to hoard salt to fight against the imperial court.

In the beginning, the price of salt was indeed reduced. But there is no salt to sell in the market, so the price of salt is soaring all the way, and it is even more expensive than the official salt period! As a result, the poor people began to cry out for a great deal of misery. Partial salt is a necessity, so you can't eat it.

Many people who don't know the inside story still hate the court. This is also Lu Chengqi's improper governance, without investigation, he rashly issued a holy decree based on speculation. Lu Chengqi understood the power of the emperor's holy decree, and it was equivalent to the implementation of a new policy. But he didn't understand many things, that is, even the emperor's decree could not be controlled. The salt money system is related to the lives of many people who sell official salt, how can they be cut off because of a holy decree? These people must be going to make trouble, but Lu Chengqi is too young and doesn't understand anything, so he can only deal with it passively.

However, this is not bad, and all disharmony is driven out by violence, so as not to regenerate side branches in the future. It's just that the cost is too much, and the food, grass and military salaries paid by the forbidden army alone are a bit uneconomical.

After the henchman returned to Jinyang City, he was looked at by the people of Jinyang City who had a heart, and secretly whispered: "This time, is the Wang family going to be unlucky?" I heard that the holy will, but the Wang family refused to carry it out, that is the crime of defrauding the king! ”

"That's not it, the Wang family is also black-hearted. In the salt warehouse in the west of the city, there must be at least 100,000 hundred! If it is sold, even if it is the whole Dashun, there will be no salt in a year......"

"I don't need too much, just a bucket of salt, enough for my family to use for a year......"

The people were talking a lot, and they were all discussing the matter of salt. As early as the beginning of the Dashun Dynasty, the Taiyuan Wang family was labeled as a salt merchant, and once the Wang family had any trouble, it would involve the most sensitive nerves of the people. Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, this is a necessity of life, and the people can't care more about the price of these things.

But there are also those who hold the opposite opinion: "You are all wrong, before the holy decree was issued, the price of salt was still cheap." Now the price of salt is higher than it was then, and I don't know where to buy it if I want to, what's the good? If the Wang family falls, maybe the price of salt will be even higher! ”

The rest of the people naturally don't believe it, since the little emperor came into power, the policies promulgated are all conducive to the people's recuperation, and this time is certainly no exception. In fact, these people don't know about other policies, they just understand that the agricultural tax issued by Lu Chengqi is very beneficial to them. One out of ten per acre of land, and it is a floating tax rate, and agricultural tax is collected according to the actual output of one acre of land. If there is a disaster or famine, there is no need to pay taxes, and even the imperial court has disaster relief subsidies. It's much lower than the agricultural tax of any dynasty! The people have benefited, and they will naturally help the court to say good things. This is how the people's hearts come about, and the people get benefits, and they can win the hearts of the people more than the articles you write with all the flowery rhetoric.

The man was given a disdainful look by everyone, and he seemed to know that his opinion had no market here, and walked away. Everyone was still discussing with great interest what would happen to the Wang family.

In fact, the relationship between landlords and tenant farmers in ancient times was not bad. If it weren't for the great famine and the drought that yielded no harvest, the landlords would have treated the tenant farmers quite well. From the perspective of human nature, the vast majority of people do not derive pleasure from the process of oppressing others, or even causing them to die. The landlords' oppression and persecution of the tenant peasants was not that the landlords were happy with this, but that many landlords themselves were living in poverty and could not live happily. Isn't there a saying that the landlord's family has no surplus grain?

The landlord may have people who have a conscience, but there will also be people who have destroyed a conscience. The good and evil of human nature cannot be described in one word. The Wang family is also like this, they built bridges and paved roads, donated private schools, and did a lot of things that were beneficial to the people. But they have taken much more out of the people than they have paid. Does this show that the Wang family is kind? Or are they heinous? It cannot be said in one word, the complexity of human nature is often changed with the transformation of external factors. If the Wang family wanted to maintain a decent life, they naturally wanted to continue their salt selling business. But this is contrary to Lu Chengqi's wish, at this time, it depends on who has a hard fist, and who can dominate the right to speak.

Obviously, Lu Chengqi, who mastered the state apparatus, won the victory. The Wang family, which focuses on its own interests, is doomed to failure. Even the people in Jinyang City don't have much support for them, and being undefeated is fake.

So he got the reward of his henchmen, Wang Yuanshi sighed leisurely: "The situation is stronger than people, so I have to accept my fate......"

The strength of the forbidden army is a prerequisite for forcing Wang Yuanshi to admit it. If the forbidden army was as vulnerable as the Xiang army, Wang Yuanshi would definitely not be willing to compromise. Even if the final outcome is still a failure, he will do his best to fight hard.

Now, he was slapped in the face by reality, and naturally put an end to that thought. As the head of the family, he thought about how to protect the Wang family, even if it was a little incense.

Therefore, he will comply with the conditions proposed by Lu Chenhuan. Send that henchman again to inform Lu Chenhuan that he will go out of the city to ambush the crime. That henchman couldn't believe his ears, he could make this stubborn Wang Yuanshi lower his head, how grim should the situation be? The henchman wanted to say: "Family master, these forbidden soldiers are too deceitful, it's better to fight!" ”

However, he is not a person with the right to speak, and he can't control the development of things at all. Speaking out was also reprimanded by Wang Yuanshi, so he could only accept it silently and do it well. (To be continued.) )
