In the spring of March, everything recovered, and the green once again shrouded the land of Chu, and the capital at this time was more lively than the depression in the winter a few months ago.
The streets are no longer deserted, but crowded with pedestrians, and the clothes worn by pedestrians have begun to become thinner, and there is already a clear spring atmosphere.
Today is a sunny day, the weather is very good, the flowers on the mountain are in full bloom, therefore, some dignitaries and nobles, at this time, always have to bring their families to the garden on the mountain, enjoy the beautiful scenery of spring.
The merchants are also working hard, showing their talents, and doing everything they can to sell things.......
This year, in fact, the life of the entire Chu State is not easy, first there was a major flood in Qingzhou, and the entire Qingzhou was even more unharvested, you know, Qingzhou was one of the granaries of the Chu State before, therefore, the entire grain price of the Chu State inevitably rose.
The people in Qingzhou, who suffered from the great flood and had no food and clothing, brazenly killed officials and grabbed food after waiting for the rescue of the imperial court for a long time.
First in the township and county, and then, directly to the city, and finally out of control, like a spark in the prairie fire, spread to the state capital, until now, the entire Chu State has a whole three large states have been involved in this homeless riot/chaos.
No, it's no longer a hooliganism, it's a real rebellion!
Although the state of Chu sent an army to start suppressing these rebels, the inaction of the previous two or three months gave these rebel careerists enough time, such as Lu Ping and Feng Ming, the leaders of the first rebellion, who had now gathered more than 200,000 troops.
Maybe two months ago, the combat effectiveness of these armies was not strong, but now, after more than two months of fighting, the combat effectiveness of these armies is already considerable, and it can be seen from the fact that the 100,000 troops sent by the Chu State before have been lost.
Finally, the state of Chu barely blocked the chaotic army of Qingzhou in Qingzhou, and then, all parts of the state of Chu encountered the cold of spring, and the entire empire fell into a cold wave overnight.
Now that we have finally survived this difficult spring cold and everything is back on the right path, everyone can't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.
As the common people of Kyoto, they don't have much intuitive feeling about the suffering in other parts of the empire, anyway, they have never lacked food and clothing, and the price of food here in Kyoto is already more expensive than in other parts of the Chu Kingdom.
This time the fluctuation of grain prices is actually not big here in Kyoto, after all, this is the Kyoto of Chu State, and no matter how bold those grain merchants are, they don't dare to mess around here in Kyoto.
The royal family on the Shenzhou Continent is not the royal family of ancient China, out of the imperial city, it is no longer their world, and they have an extremely shallow understanding of the outside world.
The Shenzhou Continent is respected by martial arts, and the strength of every royal family is extremely strong, so many emperors will secretly go out of the palace, not only for private visits, but also for ventilation outside, so it is impossible for those ministers in the court to fool the emperor.
Of course, those businessmen in Kyoto, no matter how strong their backgrounds are, don't dare to raise prices indiscriminately.
If you are unlucky and directly bump into the emperor of Weifu's private visit, the result will be ....... Hey.......
Therefore, the life of the common people in Kyoto is indeed much better than that of the common people in other parts of the Chu State. For them, this year is actually quite good, the income has not decreased, the court has not raised taxes, it is still very harmonious, and life is still as peaceful and stable as before.
Because life is better, the people of Kyoto also have the leisure to care about some big things in the Chu State, of course, the news they get generally comes from the announcement issued by the imperial court, as well as some incomplete gossip.
No, these days, there is a small rumor circulating in Kyoto.
The waste prince of Kyoto's Lin Marquis Mansion has now eliminated thirty or forty thousand sand thieves, and this time, the people of Kyoto have a good point to talk about.
(The rumor is that the more it spreads, the more exaggerated it becomes, and the spread from Huangsha Town to Kyoto, only to increase the number by one or two times, is already considered good.) )
Compared with other people in Kyoto who are talking about Lin Ze's affairs indiscriminately, Kyoto Zhengyang Street is extraordinarily calm, and there are crowds of people elsewhere, although the streets here are wider, more luxurious, and extravagant, but there are not many pedestrians on the road, even if there are pedestrians, they are also very quiet walking, and there is no chaos like other streets.
At the same time, there are almost no shops on this Zhengyang Street that are open for business here, and there are occasionally one or two Buzhuang restaurants, but when you look at the guards standing at the door, you can make the idlers and others avoid them.
When I got here, it was obvious that Zhengyang Street was not an ordinary street, and the people who lived here were actually officials, and they were not ordinary officials.
It can be said that the owner of any mansion on this street stomped his feet and made the officialdom of Chu State tremble a few times.
Marquis Lin's Mansion, when the Marquis Lin Renquan's Marquis Mansion Mansion is in the depths of Zhengyang Street.
Here, there is no splendid decoration of the golden wall, and there are no hideous guards arranged in front of the door, and even the vermilion gate is a little old, and the copper ring on the door also looks mottled, and you can see at a glance that it has been used for many years.
On the copper nails above the gate, there is also a slight green rust remaining, and the vermilion lacquer in some places has also faded, but anyone who passes by here will not underestimate the dilapidated gate of the folding fan, many people can't help but lower their footsteps when passing here, not for anything else, just for the depths of this gate that has been old Longzhong, but is still a prestigious old man, Lin Renquan old marquis!
Although it is now spring and winter has completely gone, Lin Renquan still feels a little cold in his body, as if winter is not far away, and these days are even more daily, so Lin Renquan directly asked people to burn charcoal in his room.
However, although the house was burning with fine incense charcoal, and the whole house was warm, Lin Renquan was still wrapped in a precious fox fur, even so, during this period of time, Lin Renquan still felt a little cold.
After learning about Lin Ze's situation from the Hou Ye's Mansion, Lin Renquan has always been like this.
"Alas, this person is old, it's really not good, this body is not as good as a year!" Lin Renquan sighed, took the hand stove handed over by the maid ring next to him, and his face also showed a self-deprecating look.
"Father, you should be old and strong, and your body and bones are good!" Lin Yizhi on the side sat sideways at the bottom of Lin Renquan, leaned over and said with a smile, he has now taken over the power of the Hou Ye Mansion, as long as it is not a matter of life and death of the Hou Ye Mansion, everything is in his hands.
"Yes, yes, father, where do you look old now, it is definitely the spirit of Ryoma, I think it is a few better than us!" Lin Yiming, that is, the second young master of the Lin family, echoed his eldest brother Lin Yizhi's statement on the side.
The words of the two brothers Lin Yizhi made Lin Renquan laugh: "Hahaha........ , you two can say something I like, hahahaha........!"
Lin Renquan's laughter was full of joy, indeed, how can there be two filial pieties, and with extremely capable sons, what is he Lin Renquan not satisfied with.
"That's it, let's take a look, now Liquan, Lixian, Lichen, and Libin are all so old, they can all be on their own, can I still be old? Hahaha........ Lin Renquan smiled and stretched out his finger to the four young men standing behind them and said.
Lin Yizhi said with a smile on the side: "Father, you are really not old, you are only sixty-eight years old now, you are less than seventy years old, where are you old, not to mention, our Lin family still has to rely on the tiger power of the old man! Father, you can take care of your body at home with peace of mind, and the children will be responsible for other things." It's not a child's nonsense, according to your father's old foundation, in another forty or fifty years, you will still be able to ride a horse, dance with a sword, and drink wine!"
Lin Yizhi's words are not a sycophant of Lin Renquan, Lin Renquan is now a master of the eighth layer of the day after tomorrow, with his strength, as long as there are no other accidents, living to be more than a hundred years old, it is an easy thing, when the time comes, if there is any longevity pill, even if he lives one hundred or forty or fifty years older, it is actually possible.
Lin Renquan nodded with a smile, but soon, Lin Renquan said with some sadness on his face: "That being said, I also know your filial piety, but it is always good to take precautions, my current body is not a problem, but how to say it in the future." Before the emperor has come to order, next month you are likely to go to Qingzhou to quell the rebellion, a few days ago there was a report from the front, Qingzhou's Lu Ping and Feng Ming began to attack again, and now they have attacked the sandbank, and the number of troops has directly reached more than 300,000, which can no longer be underestimated. ”
Lin Renquan's face was very serious, but the second young master on the side, that is, Lin Yiming's face, said with a look of indifference: "Father, don't worry, Lu Ping and Feng Ming, these clowns who jump the beam, I will be even." ”
Lin Yiming's face was full of confidence, in his mind, the army composed of some homeless people would not have much combat effectiveness at all, as long as he went, it would definitely be able to exterminate these rebels.
As for failure, hehe, seriously, Lin Yiming doesn't have these two words in his mind at all, and even if there is, these two words are also those rebels! Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
