Chapter 68: Universal Retribution
Yun Chu found that the Datang people are the most sensitive to the perception of human heads.
The importance of money security is also the highest.
More than 200 corpses without left ears were pulled out from Jinyang City, and Mingda'an heard that more than 100 corpses without left ears were secretly buried.
The cart that pulled the corpse out of Jinyang City was an ox cart, and it was only covered with a broken reed mat, which naturally could not cover the corpse completely, so many good people only bent down to see the frozen corpses on the ox cart, and some people's faces they had seen yesterday, but in just one day, the living became dead.
Although many people died, the businessmen in Hedong were more optimistic about this flowing water brand, after all, this time, the Jinyang flowing water brand had its own capital pool, and I heard that there were 800,000 yuan.
That's about the same amount of money as a year's tax in Hedong Province, and maybe more.
This time, Yun Chu basically didn't show up on the trading floor, and only looked at the report every day, and when he saw that for three days in a row, there were medium and long-term trading goods, and his heart was put in his stomach.
The matter on Jinyang's side is basically dealt with, and the rest can only be left to time, Yun Chu predicts that by next year, that is, in the autumn of the third year of Linde, the flow of water on Jinyang's side will be the same as before the disaster broke out.
After waiting for another three days, Yun Chu was ready to return to Chang'an by Daohedongdao, and this year, he was going to spend the New Year at Chang'an's house, and throw all the bad luck to the damn Lin De for two years.
Before the order was given, someone from home came, and the person who came was blue and looked unlucky.
Listening to the shopkeeper sent by Yu Xiurong, the situation in Chang'an is even worse, and the crown prince Li Hong even began to use rogue means to extort those noble and wealthy families.
This is political instability, which then spreads to the economic field, and seriously undermines people's confidence in Chang'an's economic recovery.
Yun Chu was indifferent to this, anyway, now it is at a low point, no matter how bad it is, where can it be bad, it is really bad to the extreme, the downhill road has gone to the extreme, and the road to go in the future should be uphill.
As a mature official, if you want to make political achievements, you must choose the situation where things are bad and there is nothing bad to bravely take on the big responsibility, anyway, this is an objective fact at work, as long as you do a little achievement, you will reap the mainstay, the praise of the pillar of the South Sky.
"There are always dead people all day long, and the dead are some famous shopkeepers in Chang'an.
Now it's okay, don't say it's thorough, the prince is jumping up and down in Chang'an like a tiger, just looking for a fat mouth, Xungui, the wealthy families can't compete with the prince, so they will push out those businessmen who are attached to the wealthy families and families.
The Lord also knows that these businessmen who are attached to the wealthy families as lackeys will hand over more than eighty percent of the profits they earn in a year to the wealthy and noble.
How much money can they have?
The money in the flowing water sign is not so much that of the merchants, but of the big families.
The wealthy nobles siphoned out the money in the pool, and now, it was the businessmen who were unlucky.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince firmly believes that this group of people is a group of walnuts, and they can't get oil if they don't smash it.
When both parties refused to give in, the merchants had no way to live.
Cheng's family gave the prince 500,000 yuan in compensation, and the prince used this matter to force the rest, and then, the Cheng family bit back and said that Deshenglong's old shopkeeper was the master himself, and it didn't matter to the Cheng family.
Just four days before his subordinates left for the Lord's side, the old shopkeeper of Deshenglong drank half a bucket of brine from the tofu workshop in front of so many people, and did not allow his son to send him to the hospital, wailing for a long time, and finally vomited blood and died.
Before he died, he said that he was sorry for the owner.
Just because he said this sentence before he died, he was cut off by Cheng Chumo of the Cheng family, saying that the old shopkeeper said this, which was suspected of slandering the prince.
Huang Tiansheng, who specializes in Shu brocade business in Shuzhong, was also summoned by the prince once because he participated in the preemptive withdrawal of funds from the capital pool, and when he returned home in the evening, he called the whole family for dinner, and saw that nothing happened, but when the children and grandchildren asked Lao Huang and his wife to say goodbye the next day, they found that Lao Huang and his wife had hanged themselves.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also lost his temper, this time he didn't find those shopkeepers, he went directly to Wei's, Du's, Dugu's, and even Yinggong, Su Gong, and Yang Gong.
As a result, when the subordinates left Chang'an, the chief shopkeeper or chief manager of these families began to die one after another.
The prince was furious and was forced by his wife to die, so he stayed at home and did not go out.
Then, I heard that Queen Luoyang sent someone again, and it was Zhou Xing, a cool official who could make children in Henan Province and Hebei Province stop crying.
Now, the businessmen of Chang'an don't look forward to anything else, and they don't dare to expect anything good in Chang'an, so they hope that the Lord can go back as soon as possible and fight for a place for everyone to breathe. ”
Yun Chu listened to the words of the second shopkeeper Liu Song, and then slapped him on the head and said, "Didn't I say that during this time, the Yun clan didn't do anything except buy property from the loser to fill in the pit?"
What are you doing with me? ”
Liu Song is the second son of Liu Yi, the housekeeper of the Yun family, although his position is low, but because he is an old servant of the Yun family, he has become a retainer of the Yun family.
Madame also brought a small message to the Lord, there were too many people who died. ”
Yun Chu sneered and said: "The damned ones don't die, the unworthy ones die a lot, and when the damned ones are dead, Lao Tzu will go back." ”
Liu Song cautiously raised his head and peeked at Yun Chu and said, "I don't know who the Lord thinks is damned?" ”
Yun Chu gritted his white teeth and said: "Just the reactivation of the Jinyang Flowing Water Brand, four hundred and twenty-one people died in this Jinyang, and the scale of the Chang'an Flowing Water Brand is a hundred times that of Jinyang, how many people do you say should be killed?"
One by one, they are bold, and dare to use the flowing water brand that grandpa worked hard to get as a tool for political struggle, if they don't die ruthlessly, next time there will be no dog who will have the courage to use the flowing water brand again.
Now it's okay, King Yong is in, the prince is in, the queen is in, everyone is fighting for their lives in the dog arena in Chang'an.
When their brains come out of the dog's brains, they will regret moving Lao Tzu's flowing water brand at that time. ”
Liu Song peeked at Yun Chu's hideous face and didn't dare to make a sound.
Yun Chu said again: "Go back and tell the prince that it's okay to make trouble, but don't trap yourself in it, since the queen sent Zhou Xing here, it is here to kill people and seize power."
After the affairs of Chang'an spread to the court, he immediately returned to Luoyang and took the initiative to participate in welcoming the Buddha bone relics of Fahua Temple back to Beijing for worship, and did not pay attention to the affairs of Chang'an.
He is still young, it is normal to get angry once, and he can't make himself a ruthless person like the queen.
When you go back, tell your wife to keep the door and keep your footsteps from Jinchangfang. ”
The person with a blue face was frustrated when he saw it, Yun Chu didn't give Liu Song time to rest, and when the matter was arranged, he asked him to go back the next day.
As for himself, he was originally going to go back immediately, but now after listening to Liu Song's report, he is not in a hurry to go back, anyway, it is more than enough time to go back before the year.
Handan, Yuyang, and Xuzhou, the bulk goods on the three trade routes are not in Chang'an, and he can't help it.
So, Yun Chu invited Liu Fuzi Chen Dansheng and other Handan businessmen to go to Mingda Nunnery to take a look at the newly established Mingda Temple.
Yun Chu did not invite Jinyang City to guard Chu Dayou, he had already made up his mind to make a clean cut between the flowing water brand and the local government.
Judging from his many years of experience in politics, the more mothers-in-law there are, the more in-laws at the bottom will not be able to work.
There are still two days to go before the moon, and the edge of Fenshui is already cold enough to freeze dogs to death.
The mud floor rich in moisture was frozen hard, and some moisture was precipitated on the surface and frozen into frost.
Yun Chu led the jujube red horse on foot, not that he didn't want to ride, but the injury to the left front hoof of the jujube red horse was not completely healed, and he couldn't ride the white horse given by the emperor, and he couldn't touch it.
When it comes to vinegar, Yu Xiu is far worse than it.
Yu Xiurong had already said that she herself was already old and decrepit, and she was mentally prepared for Yun Chu to suddenly bring back a beautiful concubine at a certain time.
However, if she dares to bring back an old woman, she will personally split the old vixen, according to her original words, bring back a young and beautiful one, and give it to someone in the future, serve a bed, hold a wine banquet at home, dance, sing a song or something, she also has face as a housewife.
As for the old woman, there are many of them at home!
Yun Chu can't see this point, he really can't treat a living person as a thing and give it away casually, so far, his mind is still the same set of ideas that put others to sleep, and he will be responsible for others in the eyes of the Tang people, and he can't change it.
There are a lot of orphans here in Jinyang, and Yun Chu made a lot of them a few days ago, but naturally these freshly baked orphans will not appear in Mingda Courtyard, but they have sheltered old qualified orphans who have suffered a lot before.
Yun Chu just glanced at the good orphans with clear eyebrows all over the courtyard, and said to Master Huiyuan: "It shouldn't be like this. ”
Huiyuan is a very smart person, and immediately said: "Those who are physically disabled have a bad mind. ”
Yun Chu said: "This is not right, you still judge people by their appearance?" ”
Huiyuan clasped his hands together and said: "The sins of the previous life, the disability in this life, it is the destiny of heaven to endure hardships all his life, if the poor nun disrupts his retribution, he will have to suffer more in the next life, ignoring it at this time is a good deed." ”
Yun Chu gritted his teeth and touched his bald head and said, "If Lao Tzu raped you at this time, it seems that it will also be your retribution in your previous life, yes or no?" ”
