Chapter 411: Drink less and eat more
Bazhong City is completely famous.
Originally, because Bazhong City was located at the throat of Xishu, it was a battleground in the eyes of soldiers, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it was just a small city in Xishu that was very general or even backward.
But during this time, Bazhong City became famous.
Some time ago, the rumors of the county yatong bandits were boiling, and then the large army entered the mountains to suppress the bandits, and the county lord who forgot to die almost died at the hands of the bandits, and finally was tortured to the point that he only came back with only one breath. When the people's enthusiasm for this matter slowly cooled to the point of forgetting, suddenly, rumors surged again.
A group of people from the capital sued 20 officials of the county government.
When the silver was counted for five days, almost half of the people in Xishu were talking about Bazhong City.
Bazhong City is a place that is really famous.
It's just that it's not a good name.
"I have a relative who lives in Bazhong City, I don't know if it's very chaotic over there now, I heard that a few days ago, in order to handle the case, young people stopped going to work and didn't go to work, so they made a fuss together. ”
"Yes, yes, my sister is married over there, and I heard that the county government asked the people to follow, saying that they wanted to give the people justice, and they would never cover up because it was the county government who committed the crime. ”
"You believe it, don't you want to think about our big man, is this kind of person?"
"Our lord is not such a person, and it doesn't mean that the lord of Bazhong City is not like this. ”
"It's as black as a crow in the world, do you need to think about it? You're too stupid. No, you shouldn't be called stupid, you should be said that you don't understand bullshit, you don't understand anything. ”
"As far as you know, listening to the wind and rain all day long, your uncles and uncles are all from the county government, I see that you have taken advantage of them a lot, and you are still talking nonsense to slander them. ”
Conversations like this are taking place in many places in Xishu.
The people of Xishu like to enjoy, which is a habit or custom since ancient times. Eating, drinking, and having fun is what the Xishu people have passed down from generation to generation, and no matter how time passes, the great changes of the times are deeply imprinted in their bones.
After eating and drinking, the people of Xishu like to chat.
The Xishu dialect has a characteristic, that is, there are a lot of overlapping words, insects, caves, turtles... illustrate
What is it? It means that they love to talk. Why do you eat and drink enough without chatting? Three glasses of wine and a few pieces of meat are in the stomach, that is, an open heart and a special chat.
So rumors of this kind of thing spread very quickly in Shudi.
In addition, in the past few decades, the trade between the Great Song Dynasty has been many times more convenient than when the Nine Kingdoms competed for hegemony a hundred years ago. Although there are still many hurdles and layers of inspections, it is just a formality, and there are also exploitations, but there are many less. The Great Song Dynasty has a set of special rules, so that the entire Great Song Dynasty forms a share, squeezing the merchants too much, resulting in the merchants being unprofitable, compared to the rules and regulations of the merchants, the amount you can get will not increase, but the less.
In other words, no matter from top to bottom, as long as the officials are excessively exploited and the merchants stop doing business, then they will not benefit at all. And they also have to bear the risk of being sued by businessmen who go to the capital to specifically accept such lawsuits.
Therefore, whether the officials consider it from their own perspective or from the perspective of businessmen, they all follow the rules and get the most benefits.
Trade is convenient, and Xishu is a high degree of autonomy, trade matters belong to the Xishu royal court, and it is more relaxed than other places in the Great Song Dynasty.
So for decades, the business of Xishu has been thriving.
Because of the flow of merchants, the transmission of information is also very convenient and fast.
Because the transmission of information is convenient, the rumors of this Bazhong City naturally arise. The people of the Great Song Dynasty, like the people of the whole world, were particularly interested in this kind of corruption of officials. As soon as they heard that anyone had embezzled, they all craned their necks to see.
It is said that no one asks about the general's grave, and the world knows the family affairs of the opera. Although this is true, it also shows that this will only be the case when the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment.
If in those dark years, who would be interested in the opera in Liyuan? If they can't eat enough and can't keep their homes, who will have the leisure to go to the play?
However, when the Great Song Dynasty was just flourishing decades ago, there was a period of time when the drama family affairs were known to the world.
It's just that with the passage of time, with the intentional guidance of the court officials strengthened, the people have a strong sense of national pride.
Under this peaceful and prosperous era, over the years, the government at all levels in various places has begun to repeat the historical mistakes, that is, imbecility, corruption, and inaction.
Although life is still very good, many places have begun to see a lot of government oppression of the people.
Especially in Xishu, the only part of the Great Song Dynasty, this is even more so in this independent kingdom.
Although the people have not reached the point of complaining, many people who have been to the capital and have been out of Xishu will have a contrast in their hearts invisibly. It turns out that there are many places out there that are not like this. There are many places where I am not satisfied with the government, and I can file a complaint, or someone will come down to check before I can file a complaint.
Envy.
It is this kind of emotion that makes the people of Xishu more enthusiastic about discussing cases of corruption among officials.
Whenever a corrupt official is dismissed, the cheers of the people of Xishu seem to be louder than the rest of the country.
And with the rumors spreading all over Xishu in just half a month, there is another name, Chen Letian.
Chen Letian, a native of the capital, a fresh student of the Qingtian Pavilion Academy, and the commander of the forward battalion of the Northern Army.
These identities are all enviable to ordinary people.
This name, which suddenly appeared in Shu and made the people of Xishu talk about in just a few days, is now a celebrity in Xishu.
The chatter after tea and dinner is all talking about this Chen Letian.
"Good Qingtian Pavilion students, what are you doing in this troubled water in our Xishu?
"People may have come with a purpose, maybe with the mission of the Imperial Historical Tower? How can we ordinary people know the inside story. ”
"That's right. A native of the capital, a student of the Qingtian Pavilion Cultivation Academy, and the commander of the forward battalion of the Northern Army, can such a person be an ordinary person?
"Not necessarily. The water in our Shu is very deep, and the court doesn't care, it has always been how happy our Shu king is, alas, the way of the world. ”
"The world isn't that good, but it's not that bad either. I believe that there will be more and more people like him, let's not complain, do more useful things, maybe in the future we can climb to a high position, and we will be able to rectify more officials for the king. ”
"Your cowhide sounds quite imposing, but it's a pity that you blow it too much, drink less wine and eat more food. ”
