Chapter 206: Calm Waves
When the merchants resumed the market, the most happy were the people, especially the women, who came to the market and the shops in droves to buy the things they needed.
They couldn't be unhappy, and notices were posted on the streets, ordering those shops that were out of stock to sell goods at a 50% discount, and this kind of thing is rare once in 800 years.
But the surprise didn't stop there, the day after the resumption of the market, there were convoys from outside the city, and these carts were all loaded with food. There was rice, wheat, sorghum, flour and a kind of food they had never seen before, it was said that this thing was called a potato, although it didn't taste very good, but it was cheap, and ordinary grain would cost one or two dollars of silver for a stone, but this thing was only six dollars of silver for one stone, which was much more cost-effective. Although the taste is not very good, but people are full, as long as they can eat enough these years, the common people will not account so much.
Not only the price of food, but also the price of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea has dropped, and those women are smiling and smiling at the profiteers who are shutting out these days, it is these people who control the market and prices, making the people miserable, on the one hand, enduring rising prices, and on the other hand, they have to grit their teeth to buy.
These days, the people who have been frightened by the rising prices of goods have flocked to the streets with rice bags to shop, and the scene is extremely grandiose, and the shops and stalls selling grain are surrounded by water. The shopkeeper and the guy who sold the goods were not allowed to shout in the official dialect of Yingzhou accent, "Don't squeeze everyone, the grain is enough, General Xuanwei said, as long as everyone wants to buy, buy as much as you want!" If it's not enough, we have a lot of food in Wulizhai, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it all! ”
As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you don't panic in your heart, and you have the granary of Wulizhai as a backing. Yue Yang handled things more calmly.
After such a big incident, Jiang Xin could no longer hide in the prefect's yamen and pretend to be dead as he did a few days ago, and after writing a plea to the imperial court, he also changed into civilian clothes and sneaked out of the yamen with the yamen and walked towards the street.
When he came to the street and saw a woman happily carrying a bag of rice, and the children behind him were also struggling to carry oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and other items and hurriedly went home, Jiang Xin sighed lightly and turned his head to the official next to him and said: "In the past, I only knew that this Yueyang would train soldiers and fight wars. But today, the official only learned that this person is also quite proficient in the way of people's livelihood governance, and the official really underestimated him. ”
Speaking of Yueyang, several officials next to him glanced at each other, and the immigrant Ya said with palpitations: "But this person is indeed a bit of a murderer, don't you know, my lord." The day before yesterday, on this street, the men and horses under his command were slaughtered, and many green-skinned gangsters were beaten into a sieve by the firecracker. Even those scholars were injured a lot, and the scene was ...... Gee...... It's just miserable. ”
Jiang Xin was silent for a while before he said: "Those scholars have read so many sage books in vain, and they are mixed with Dongnu's fine work, which is really unorthodox, and at this time, we have to find out carefully, if they are really involved with Dongnu." This official wants to make a statement to the Taiyuan School Administration Bureau to get rid of their fame. ”
As soon as they heard that Jiang Xin was going to cut off the fame of those scholars, several officials looked at each other at the hungry wolf, and a trace of horror flashed in their eyes, for a scholar, it was more uncomfortable than death to be stripped of his fame, which not only meant that all the efforts they had made for more than ten years were in vain, but also meant that they would be excluded from the circle of scholars forever, it seems that Lord Jiang was really ruthless this time.
After Jiang Xin walked around. What he saw was the crowd of people coming and going and the smile on his face, and his face was constantly changing, and finally he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Come on, let's go to command the Tongzhi Yamen." ”
"What, to command the Tongzhi Yamen?" The surrounding officials were a little stunned, Lord Jiang couldn't have made a mistake, right? The adult is a civil official, and it should be the martial artist who came to visit the adult. How is it the other way around?
"Your Excellency!" A servant cautiously asked: "If you want to see that Yueyang, why don't you let the little one go to the command and inform the yamen of that Yueyang, and let him come over the mansion to meet you, why do you deign to see him?" ”
"You know what!" Jiang Xin glared at the official impatiently. "What time is it, don't you know the so-called urgency? Let's go! ”
"Yes......"
Seeing that their master had made up his mind, what else did they have to say as subordinates, so they had to hug Jiang Xin and walk towards the command Tongzhi Yamen......
And what is Yue Yang doing at this time? At this time, Yue Yang was accompanying his daughter-in-law Hai Lanzhu for a walk in the small garden in the backyard.
Although the weather was already very cold, and there was a heavy snowfall a few days ago, and the temperature reached minus three or four degrees, these temperatures could not reduce the warmth in Yue Yang's heart. It has been almost three years since he came to this world, and Yue Yang has not only married three wives, but is also about to have children of his own, which is a very wonderful feeling.
Although from the perspective of ordinary people, Yue Yang is now powerful, rich and more soldiers, which can be described as majestic, and he has to shake the entire Shanxi North Road when he coughs, but he doesn't take these Yueyang very seriously. It can be said that Yue Yang, who is a man of two lives, has a very open view of some things, it is good to have power and wealth, but there is no need to force it too much, after all, life is too short, even if you have more of these things, you can't take them away, and it is the most important thing to leave a continuation of the bloodline at this time, because he cherishes his relatives around him very much, and he especially values his unborn children.
After helping Hai Lanzhu walk around the bare garden, Hai Lanzhu looked at her husband beside her and laughed.
Yue Yang was puzzled and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”
"Nothing?" Hailan Zhuwan smiled and asked her husband: "Last night, Jiang He sent someone to give me a copy of the report on the interrogation of those scholars and merchants, do you know what is written in this interrogation report?" ”
Yue Yang shrugged his shoulders: "I haven't read this report yet, how do I know." ”
"You!" Hai Lanzhu gave her husband a roll of her eyes in disgust: "You, you have been with Sister Linglong at night these days, how can you have time to read the report." ”
"Isn't it inconvenient for you?" As soon as he mentioned this stubble, Yue Yang felt a little weak, these days, he did spend the night in the room of the Linglong sisters every night, after all, now that Hai Lanzhu is pregnant, he naturally can't favor one over the other, the Linglong sisters have been with him for so long, so naturally they can't treat their sisters badly.
Seeing the sneering look on Yue Yang's face, Hai Lanzhu gave him another big look and stopped mentioning this stubble. After all, in this era, it is impossible for a man to have only one wife, and a man like Fang Xuanling has had such a man for thousands of years, which cannot be used as an example.
Hai Lanzhu said: "In those confessions sent by Jiang He, an important thing was mentioned, which was about Wuli Village. ”
"Wuli Village? What happened to Wulizhai? As soon as he heard this, Yue Yang's face immediately began to become solemn, for Yue Yang, Wuli Village is not only his old nest, but also his foundation, his factory, grain base and military workshop are all there, once he loses it will be a huge blow to him.
"Don't worry, Wulizhai is fine, but according to the confessions of those people, today's Huang Taiji is paying more and more attention to you, the little commander and general Xuanwei, and even sent a large number of detailed preparations to sneak into Wuli Village for you. Not only did they plan to steal the method of making firearms, but they even planned to steal the high-yield seeds of Wulizhai, and use the beauty of money to lure those craftsmen in the military factory to the Houjin Kingdom. Anyway, they have to do all the tricks they can think of, how about it, are you afraid? ”
Looking at Hai Lanzhu who looked at him with a smile, Yue Yang said a rare rude word: "I'm afraid of a ball, our fire gun is not so easy to imitate, it doesn't meet certain conditions, even if Huang Taiji is given a hundred years, he can't imitate it, as for those high-yield seeds, they can only plant one season even if they steal them back, if they really think that they can plant them without restrictions if they steal some seeds, it will be a big mistake, unless he can give Yuan Longping ...... Ahem...... It's far away, anyway, let's not worry about it. ”
"That's good!" Hai Lanzhu nodded with satisfaction, "Since you have been prepared for a long time, then I don't have to worry." It's just that if you make such a big move this time, I'm afraid that someone in the DPRK and China will impeach you again. ”
Yue Yang pursed his lips disdainfully: "Impeachment is impeachment, what does it matter, as long as we have heavy troops, what can those rotten Confucians who can only play tricks do to me?" ”
Looking at Yue Yang's confident appearance, Hai Lanzhu stared at him for a long time and smiled slightly, and at the same time asked with some curiosity: "Yue Yang, I am different from other officials." Before I married you, I heard that you Han people pay attention to the death of the monarch and the minister, and the other officials were terrified when they heard that the emperor was angry and wanted to punish the crime, but why didn't you care at all? ”
"Can this be the same?" Yue Yang was a little speechless and looked at this daughter-in-law who was too curious, if you say something to the people of later generations, "The king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die", it is strange if people don't spit on you.
Just when Yue Yang wanted to change the topic, Hai Lanzhu's personal maid Xiaoman hurried over and said to the two: "Miss, uncle, there is an official who claims to be the prefect outside, saying that he wants to see his uncle." ”
"Jiang Xin, he's finally here!" After listening to Xiaoman's report, Yue Yang laughed slightly......
