Chapter 484: Meritorious
Zhu Di was a little puzzled.
He looked at this Wu Tong.
It seems that the impression of Zhang Anshi is very bad.
I am also full of nostalgia for my hometown.
But the person in front of him actually moved here with his family.
The contradictions in this are really incredible.
So Zhu Di asked with doubts: "The chaos is coming, and the lives are ruined?" ”
Wu Tong saw Zhu Di's suspicious face, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It seems that Brother Zhang doesn't understand the current situation, do you know...... Today, it is already a dry firewood, and there only needs to be a spark to make the fire raging? ”
Zhu Di's tiger body was shocked.
Zhang Anshi only smiled reluctantly.
"Who did you listen to?" Zhu Di said coldly, but tried his best to restrain his anger.
Wu Tongdao: "Everyone is talking! When I was in Fuzhou, the local priest talked about it, and ...... There are also many secrets in the palace and the court, this An Shi ...... It's really the demon king of the mixed world, and Brother Zhang doesn't want to think about it, how many people have been killed in Henan and Guanzhong, it's really a river of blood......"
Wu Tong said, and kept shaking his head: "There is also an article called Lushan idler, I don't know if Brother Zhang has ever read it?" ”
"Lushan idler?" Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, feeling impressed.
Zhang Anshi and Yishu were both shocked.
In this case, the group of people led by Chen Deng wrote many articles in the name of Lushan idlers or a certain mountain person, and spread them around, causing people to panic.
Yizha was in Zhu Di's ear, muttering a few words in a low voice.
Zhu Di: "......"
Zhu Di showed an expression of sudden realization.
Immediately, Zhu Di looked at Wu Tongdao: "Although I haven't read his article, it's ...... It seems that I have heard of it, but I don't know this Lushan idler...... What is said in the article? ”
Wu Tong's eyes unconsciously revealed a little bit of indignation, and he said with a sigh of relief: "The people of the world, bewitched by Zhang Anshi and others, have begun to be restless, it can be said that they are ready to move, this Zhang Anshi used the new policy to induce those people who are unwilling to settle down and keep to themselves to cultivate the land, so that some people who have ambition to support themselves have also begun to breed dissatisfaction with the rich. ”
As he spoke, the anger on his face gradually turned into sadness: "Looking at the provinces of the world, sooner or later...... It is necessary to have a great change, and the time will come...... Those Diao people...... I don't know what's going to happen, hey...... Thinking of me Wu Tong, a hundred years of family business, even when the world was in turmoil at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the foundation of this family has never been shaken, but now...... I want to be this lost dog. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Tong began to weep.
Zhu Di was directly dumbfounded.
However, Chen Deng, who was being wrapped in the corner, had a different expression.
Zhu Di said: "If this is the case, then why do you want to bring your family here?" ”
Wu Tong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "How can you not come?" If you know that the world is about to change, and people are about to fall to the ground, do you still dare to stay in your hometown? Ay...... I have read a lot of articles about the idlers in Lushan, and the more I read, the more it makes sense, this new deal is really harmful, it is to dig up our roots, and it is to teach us to die without a place to be buried! ”
Speaking of this, his face showed a little sadness, and he continued to mutter: "I, Wu someone, may not be killed, but ...... I have a family and a business, and there are dozens of people in my family, so I can't sit idly by, stay in my hometown, and let others slaughter and kill, right? I can not care about myself, but I can't care about my family. ”
Wu Tong shed tears and wiped his tears.
Zhu Di feels reasonable, and this truth is really not wrong.
Just like him at the beginning, to be honest, if Zhu Yunwen hadn't been in a hurry, even if he just wanted him to be a rich idler, or a rich man, he would not have been able to tie the head of the family to his trouser belt and work hard.
Zhang Anshi said coldly beside him: "It's pitiful." ”
Chen Deng was on the side, but it was like being struck by lightning.
He froze in place, not saying a word, but his face was extremely ugly!
Because...... That Lushan idler...... It was his pseudonym, and many of his articles were sent out in the name of the Lushan idlers, in order to argue that the gentry and scholars who were about to teach the world were about to disappear.
He, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, relied on his high position in the temple, but he picked out many secrets in the palace and the court to add oil and vinegar, in order to make the world vigilant against the dangers of the new deal, and at the same time ...... Gathering strength to oppose the New Deal.
In his opinion, the gentry of the world are tens of thousands, who control countless amounts of money, grain, and land, and even more so a large number of people, and as long as everyone can unite as one, this new policy will surely be stillborn.
But......
Wu Tong said at this time: "When I was in Fuzhou, I read these articles every day, and I heard some relatives and old people talk about this matter every time, it is really unbearable to burn, I can't sleep at night, and I have to wake up in the middle of the night, which is really miserable......
Chen Deng: "......"
Chen Deng's article, the effect has indeed been achieved.
It's just that......
I only heard Wu Tong continue: "In less than a few months, I already felt that life was worse than death, and then I heard that there was an old one in the nearby township, and it was actually a family migration to Zhili, so I couldn't sit still anymore, and stayed in the township, like sitting on pins and needles." ”
Chen Deng was furious at this time, and said coldly: "So you came to Zhili? ”
Wu Tong looked at the anger on his face and felt a little inexplicable, but he still subconsciously said: "If you don't come to Zhili, where else can you go in the world?" Going to the West? The ghost place in the West is not adapted to the water and soil, and it has to be far away from the ocean, and I heard that the vassal kings are even more vicious, and when people go there, they become their cattle and horses. ”
Wu Tong said, bitterly said: "Where in the world is there a place for us? It is said that people leave their hometowns and are cheap, and my Wu family has a lot of family business, if it is not impossible to gain a foothold, why should I run away to avoid trouble? ”
At this time, Zhu Di probably seemed to understand something.
You say it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous.
But you have to say that he is unreasonable, it is actually very reasonable.
Zhu Di said: "Then why did you come to Hezhou?" ”
Wu Tong said: "Zhili is here...... After all, it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and it is Zhang Anshi and these thieves here, the family business of the royal family and the Zhang family, as well as many businessmen who are in collusion with Zhang Anshi, their family business is all here. That's why I've heard people say that no matter how chaotic the world is, it can't be messed up like this. But if you want to teach me to go to Yingtianfu and Qixia, I won't. Qi Xia and the capital really can't see it, and they can't bear to see the rampant appearance of Zhang Anshi and his henchmen. Besides, when I heard that there was a bad moral, everyone only talked about money and profit, and the world was corrupt. ”
"Later, I heard that now the capital and Qixia are expensive, and if you want to buy a mansion, the cost is huge, and my Wu family has a lot of money, and I really don't want to spend this unjust silver."
After a pause, he continued: "But this Hezhou, also at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there will be no chaos here, and the land price is cheap, at least it is much more livable than the capital and Qixia, not to mention, His Royal Highness the Emperor and Sun, although he is also bewitched by that An Shi, at least ...... Finally, he recruited the original Guozi Priest Wine Zou and others in the state, and he always taught people to feel at ease! ”
Speaking of this, he sighed faintly and said, "Hey...... In fact, at the beginning, I couldn't bear to leave my hometown, but the relatives and friends around me were old, and there were more and more family migrants, so I made up my mind, and I didn't know until I got here...... In this day, I don't know how many people like me have migrated here. ”
Wu Tong said, showing a sad look: "If it weren't for Zhang Anshi, why would I have fallen to this point, and now ...... There is a township in the south, so I have to buy property here, and I live here for the rest of my life......"
Chen Deng was stunned.
And Yang Rong and Hu Guang sat on the side, looking at each other.
The logic of this matter makes sense when you think about it.
For Chen Deng, he constantly exaggerated the horror of Zhang Anshi and the destruction brought about by the New Deal, and to a certain extent, he was actually systematically selling anxiety to the gentry and scholars in the world.
The gentry and scholars are both smart people, and smart people are easy to think more, and this kind of public opinion rendering makes them sit on pins and needles, which is actually understandable.
For Chen Deng and others, they thought that after this, it would inevitably trigger a huge wave of opposition to the New Deal in the whole world, and then they quietly went to the court and the central government to help the gentry and scholars from all over the world, so as to continuously attack the New Deal, perhaps...... It can really stop the spread of the New Deal.
But they were wrong.
Because for gentry like Wu Tong, of course, they are afraid, but what about after fear?
They are people with families and businesses, Henan and Guanzhong have already killed a number of people, His Majesty is a person who kills indiscriminately, and the local people are attracted and enveloped by Zhang Anshi's new policy, and reading the articles of Chen Deng and others every day is simply a kind of torment.
Thereupon...... Subconsciously, they will look for a safe habitat.
It is impossible to expect them to resist with weapons, just like the people who cannot survive.
Because they can't afford to gamble on the consequences of losing!
What they want is to continue to maintain their fine food and clothing, and at this time...... Hezhou's side is opening a hole for them, and they naturally flock in.
Zhu Di felt that Wu Tong's words were too strong, and then he glanced around the wine shop.
Here, it is still very lively, although it is night, it is still brightly lit, and in such a prosperous place, Zhu Di is also a little indigestible.
At this moment, a large number of cars and horses suddenly came from outside.
Immediately afterwards, someone shouted excitedly: "Hurry up...... Protect this wine shop......"
The drinkers sensed that something was wrong, and looked around one by one, with a little nervousness on their faces.
But at this time, outside this restaurant, there was a young man who hurriedly came with the civil and military officials from the top and bottom of the state.
The young man at the head is Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji anxiously wandered around, and finally saw Zhu Di.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down: "Sun Chen Zhu Zhanji, I have seen the imperial grandfather, the imperial grandfather...... Why did you come here all of a sudden? ”
As soon as these words came out, in this wine shop, there was silence for a moment.
Wu Tong, who was sitting opposite Zhu Di, was even more like seeing a ghost, his eyes were wide open, and he was so frightened that he was about to collapse.
I saw that his body was swaying, but he was grabbed by someone, but it was Zhang Anshi who supported him and said, "Be careful, don't break it." ”
Wu Tong calmed down a little, glanced at Zhang Anshi gratefully, reflexively reflexed, and said softly: "Thank you Brother Xian, Brother Xian's surname is ......."
Zhang Anshi's young and handsome face gave people a very friendly feeling, and at this time, he said honestly: "My name is Zhang Anshi, don't get me wrong, I am the real Zhang Anshi." ”
】
Wu Tong listened, the whole person was stunned for a moment, and the mind that had finally settled down suddenly began to be disordered again.
His body began to swing, his eyes began to roll up, his head was thrown back, and his legs twitched.
Zhang Anshi immediately hugged him and shouted: "Someone, hurry up and carry him away, he can't be stimulated anymore." ”
Several guards were speechless and hurriedly carried the people away.
Although it was a small episode, the wine shop quickly quieted down.
Everyone didn't say a word, and the drinkers who were still noisy just now didn't dare to come out one by one.
What about other people, Zhu Di didn't care about it at this time, but in his eyes, there was only Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji's height is a lot taller, and his face is in good spirits.
Zhu Di saw Zhu Zhanji start, and the unhappiness seemed to have disappeared temporarily, he stepped forward, helped Zhu Zhanji up, and said happily: "Zhanji, can you miss the emperor's grandfather?" ”
Zhu Zhanji also smiled and said: "Sun Chen is in Hezhou, and he misses the emperor's grandfather every day. Grandpa, how are you ...... Swing here and don't say hello? The grandson is good to go and catch the car. ”
Zhu Di looked at him kindly and said: "I came here, just to take a look, take a look at you, take a look at this Hezhou, you, for the New Year, will not go back to Beijing to see the driver." ”
Zhu Zhanji showed a little apology and said, "My grandson also misses the emperor's grandfather very much. It's just that the grandson is here, and he is very busy, and the grandson needs to be in charge of all these thousands of things. ”
"Confused?" Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji with a smile.
Zhu Zhanji said: "That's right, don't talk about anything else, in the past six months alone, one million people have migrated to Hezhou, and if you can't do your best to settle here, there will be chaos." ”
"A million people?" Zhu Di's face changed slightly, and he was extremely surprised.
Although he knew that many people had moved, this million people really frightened Zhu Di.
Where did such a large population come from? This Hezhou, in fact, is only the scale of a county, this is only a hundred years, in this way, this small Hezhou, although not as good as the capital and Qixia, is definitely the third largest city in Zhili.
Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "At the beginning, the ...... who migrated here It's just tens of thousands of households, all of them are gentry families, but they ...... Most of them are dragging their families with their mouths, helping the old and the young, the emperor's grandfather knows that such rich families are not ordinary people, ordinary people, a household is only a few people, no matter how many, it is only a dozen, but they are dozens of people at every turn, and there are many and hundreds of people. And just like that, there were hundreds of thousands of people. ”
Zhu Zhanji talked eloquently, looking full of interest, and continued: "After these people settle down, this is very different from the state, don't look at them only tens of thousands of households, hundreds of thousands of people, but as everyone knows, these people ...... All of them are extremely solid, the women's rolls should use good rouge gouache, and the men need a lot of carriages and horses, and they wear silk and satin, all in all, the cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation in a year is ten times and a hundred times that of ordinary people. Grandpa, think about it...... Let's just say that this wine shop, ordinary people, all year round, work for people, may not be able to eat a few meals in such a wine shop. But for these rich people, they go in and out of this wine shop, but it is commonplace. ”
Because of this, many businessmen, all of a sudden saw the business opportunities, the emperor grandfather can not underestimate the spending ability of these people, like this wine shop, and there are hundreds of in Hezhou, and almost every day can be full, in short supply, as well as all kinds of silk, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, all kinds of jewelry, rouge gouache...... This businessman can make a lot of money in whatever business he comes. Thus...... Many merchants also took the opportunity to pour in, and they seemed to have to recruit manpower like crazy, the foot power on the dock, the men in the inn, the brokers in charge of purchasing, not to mention anything else, just this cook, the whole Hezhou needs to hire thousands of people, and because this rich family has different tastes, I don't know how many people are fed by this alone. ”
"Because of this, the current wages in Hezhou are not under the capital and Qixia, the emperor, think about it, the people who are pouring in one after another...... Can there be less? That's at least another 200,000 households. This is said to be a million...... It's all considered less. ”
Zhu Di listened carefully, and was dumbfounded when he listened, but thinking of what he saw along the way, it was really not a lie, and immediately said: "Then how do you settle it?" ”
As a hello emperor, he is naturally happy to see it happen, but Zhu Di is now both shocked and curious!
"Uncle has expected this for a long time." Zhu Zhanji glanced at Zhang Anshi, and continued triumphantly: "Uncle told his grandson at the beginning that we have met a nobleman. ”
"Noble ......" Zhu Di was full of suspicion.
"Oh......" Zhu Zhanji said, "That's the ...... Those who secretly write articles...... Uncle said...... With the help of these nobles, my uncle and grandson can be regarded as having picked up a treasure. ”
Yishaha was stunned for a moment, a complicated color flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but say: "The nobles that His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun said will not be the Qin criminals who have just been captured, and Chen Dengren, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who writes articles everywhere and bewitches the public, etc." ”
Zhu Zhanji said regretfully: "What, they have already been taken?" Yes...... This...... If you are good, how can you take people. Their articles are so well written, even if they are fallacies, they can be so demagogic, Grandpa Huang, they are the nobles of their grandchildren. ”
Chen Deng was on the side, his face became more and more ugly, in fact, he faintly felt that something was wrong.
But now that I heard this, the original intention of killing himself has long been gone, and there is only an indescribable shame.
Every word of Zhu Zhanji was like someone stabbing him in the heart with a dagger.
Before he could calm down, he heard Zhu Zhanji say again: "It's really thanks to these nobles, otherwise how could there be today?" Hezhou can have today, the new deal can be a thousand miles a day, and they have made great contributions! ”
The four-character exit of the great achievement.
Chen Dengtu's face turned white, and he only felt a sweetness in his throat, and then subconsciously spit out the fishy smell in his mouth, and a mouthful of bloody phlegm spurted out.
