0861 Famous Wedding
"May I ask how the Taiwan government recently ordered Shimin to declare their assets? What should I declare?"
Since a month ago, Xiangyang Zhufang City Gate and various markets, including the Qiaojindu of a trunk road outside the city, have posted Taiwanese government notices, and many state and county officials have marched through the townships to publicize notices.
For a while, the people in the surrounding areas of Xiangyang City knew that such a decree was being implemented, but their understanding of the specific content of the decree was still a little vague, after all, this was something that the previous Yongzhou Prefecture government could not involve, and it was still difficult for the people to understand.
"The declaration of the people is divided into two parts, one is Dingkou and the other is capital. The number of men and women in the household, and the number of slaves and maids, cattle and horses, and the power of cattle and horses, all of them are more or less one nationality. When the city of Xiangyang moves south in the coming year, it will be granted land and settled in a new house with this number."
There were also government officials near the gates of the city to explain the contents of the decree to the people who still did not understand the provisions of the decree: "As for the capital, that is, the number of existing properties of your family, the number of open houses, the number of mulberry trees, and the number of fields, all of which cannot be relocated together, can all be declared and registered under the register, and after moving to the new city, you can declare compensation to the government on this basis!"
The number of people who came to inquire was large and their identities varied.
Some of them are destitute tenants, and their focus is on granting land, and after hearing the explanation of the government officials, they can't help but ask again and again: "May I ask the prince, how much land is granted to one ding?" The woman also gave land? The field that has been received is his own? There will be no more officials to collect it? And there are no robbers to rob them?"
There are also some wealthy villagers with thin assets, who are not interested in granting land, and the focus is on moving to the city: "Why move the city? Isn't the landscape here in Xiangyang beautiful? The ancestors set up a city here, and they have their own wisdom and reason, so why should they bother the people with a paper order, abandon the Sangzi countryside and go elsewhere to make a living?"
As for those powerful families with higher social status, they have higher-level sources, so naturally they don't need to gather in the market to inquire about the news.
But this privilege does not bring them any pleasure and security now, because they have learned more content, so their mood is more anxious and pessimistic, and they are more eager to find a way to cope.
Because whether it is the township capital or the people, they are undoubtedly the most controlled, if they hide and do not report, then if they move to the new city in the next year, they will inevitably lose a lot of money and lose their vitality. However, if they report it truthfully, the fact that they are sheltering a large number of people and land will be completely exposed and will no longer be concealed, and if the Taiwan government wants to take any coercive measures against them, they will not be able to resist it.
In such a situation at the moment, it is really a knife to stretch out the head and a knife to shrink the head, which makes people have no choice. And it is said that the Hedong Liu clan, who had just returned to their hometown, was directly detained by the Taifu family because they resisted this order and did not obey it, and they still don't know whether they are alive or dead.
"Brother Cai, stay, please stay! My brother waited here for many days, just to invite my brother to get together and listen to the teachings!"
Cai Dabao is one of the few old subordinates of the former Liang Wang who still remains in Daxingtai, Shannan Province, and many of the people who are worried about the future of Xiangyang are guarding outside the gate of the Taiwan government, and when they see Cai Dabao appearing inside the door, they all rush forward to ask about the inside story or two, and there is room for flexibility after the implementation of the decree.
Today's Cai Dabao has gradually become familiar with the atmosphere and rhythm of the Taiwan government, and naturally he does not dare to openly mix with these old acquaintances in public.
When everyone outside the mansion saw Cai Dabao like this, they were all disappointed, and some people couldn't help but cry out: "Brother Cai is now the Shangzuo of the Taiwan Mansion, and a certain class is a country white ding, but before that, a certain brother is the old subordinate of His Royal Highness King Liang!" Therefore, the lord is lost, and it is difficult to escape the blame, but now only Brother Cai can feel the old feelings and give one or two good words, so it is impossible to get it? Is the King of Taiyuan so unkind?"
After hearing this, Cai Dabao paused again, turned back to look at everyone and said, "You don't have to threaten me with old feelings, the current government of Taiwan is indeed very different from previous years.
The king of Taiyuan is the world's leading minister and general, and he governs things
Talents are rare in the world, and far-sightedness is far from the vision of some layman, and now that this decree is being implemented, it must be a benevolent government that we cannot look up to.
Everyone, but the government decree of the government of Shoutai is not contrary to it, and you can enjoy peace and tranquility in the world, isn't this a beautiful scenery that you didn't dare to dream of in previous years? Now come and ask me, the only thing I can teach is to obey the law and obey the law, and if you still can't live in peace, you can sue me for your grievances, even if you give up your life, I will appeal to the king for you!"
After saying this, Cai Dabao bowed to everyone outside the mansion, and then turned around and retreated back to the Taiwan mansion, no longer paying attention to the shouts and calls of the old people behind him.
Not only Cai Dabao, but also other former Xiangyang or Jiangling former subordinates who are still serving in the Taiwan government have also been harassed to a greater or lesser extent. But they are also like Cai Dabao, either silent or give similar responses.
It is not that after they took up their posts in the Taiwan government, they reversed their old attitude, became disrespectful of their six relatives, and cut off all their past interpersonal relationships, but because they themselves were not involved in the confidential affairs of the Taiwan government, and they also did not understand the logic behind the implementation of these decrees. Instead of blindly giving guidance and misleading others, it is better to simply remain silent.
After all, even if they are not in charge, they can feel through the personnel atmosphere of the Taiwan government that the style of the Taiwan government is very different from that of the Liang Wangjun Mansion or the Jiangling Imperial Court in previous years. Even if they don't pay attention to themselves, they may fall behind the procedures of the Taiwan government, and they will not be able to take care of others.
These local tycoons in Xiangyang have repeatedly hit a wall when they inquire about the inside story, but they still refuse to give up, after all, it is related to the safety of their lives and property. It's just that the personnel atmosphere of the Taiwan government, which is very different from the old Liang, also makes them feel helpless and a little helpless.
Since the old acquaintances here in Taiwan are all in vain, they will work personnel elsewhere. After much deliberation, another target soon came into their sights.
Located on the Hanshui Wharf on the west side of the Xiangyang Embankment, all kinds of passenger and cargo ships come and go constantly, which is very prosperous, and it is especially lively today.
Since early in the morning, there have been cars and horses from various families in Xiangyang gathered here, and soon this wharf was full, and even the normal flow of people and goods was greatly affected. From early morning to morning, these people neither boarded nor left, and the affected people were naturally very dissatisfied, but when they saw those powerful slaves, they could only endure this dissatisfaction.
In the afternoon, an official ship flying the flag of Xingzhou slowly docked, and the group of people who had been waiting for a long time on the shore finally moved, and when the official ship came to a steady stop, and they didn't even see the people on board appear, they shouted enthusiastically and loudly: "Welcome to the return of the king!"
When Xi Gu walked out of the cabin and saw the lively welcome scene on the pier, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and after a while, he also waved to the welcoming crowd with a smile on his face.
"I'm really flattered that I have been away from home for a long time, but the villagers still treat me so much! The warmth of the local voice is touching."
After getting off the boat, Xi Gu first exchanged pleasantries with several relatives, friends and representatives of the villagers standing at the front, and then said apologetically: "Everyone is so warmly welcomed, it is reasonable that I should have a drink with you and say goodbye. It's just that this time when I returned to my hometown, in addition to going to the house to report on my work, there was also a family matter that needed to be dealt with urgently. The little girl in the door has reached the age of waiting to be married, and it happened that a good media came to ask recently, so she had to go home to deal with it. On the day of the auspicious ceremony, there will be a feast in the door, entertaining relatives and friends, and then enjoy a drink!"
When everyone heard this, no matter how anxious they were, they couldn't stop Xi Gu from going home to marry his daughter. So they could only disperse separately, planning to prepare gifts and come to the door to ask for advice on the day of Xi Gu's marriage of his daughter.
The object of Xi Gu's daughter to marry is Li Tai's subordinate general Quan Xu. Although Quan Xu also expressed his hope to marry the Liu woman to the king before, but Li Ya had such a file, and it was inevitable that he would be embarrassed to get married. And the performance of the Hedong Liu family is really a bit unsightly, and Quan Xu is unwilling to marry such a family again.
Kwon Wook himself is Li Tae's confidant Yuancong, and he made a precedent in the Battle of Gangneung before, since he expressed his courtship appeal, of course Li Tae can't let this matter end without a problem. He traveled all over Xiangyang, and together with the information provided by the lady who visited the houses, he solicited it again
After Quan Xu's opinion, he chose Xi Gu's family.
Xi Gu also took the initiative to belong to him before, and then he has been serving as the assassin of Xingzhou, and he has a good understanding of the personnel of Taiwan, and he learned that it was the prince of Taiyuan who was the matchmaker, and the object of the recruitment was a young hero of the Taiwan government, of course, he was also very satisfied with this. The two sides hit it off, and soon the process of saluting began.
Li Tai intended to make this marriage a model, so he also arranged for the Taiwan government to give some personnel assistance to prepare for this wedding, so this marriage soon became the focus of attention in the city. The marriage between Xiangyang's old money and Taiwan's new upstarts is naturally particularly interesting in Xiangyang's current atmosphere that is quite sensitive due to the implementation of government decrees.
Whether it is two relatives and friends in Xiangyang Shiliu, they also keep a close eye on this matter. Because the two families are already in love, and in recent years, there have been frequent wars and everything is simple, so after less than ten days of preparation, the wedding was officially held.
Anding Xi is a celebrity in Xiangyang, with many relatives and friends, coupled with this special moment, the wedding day is full of congratulatory guests, and the scene is huge.
The people who came to congratulate soon discovered that corresponding to this grand scene, the dowry that Xi Gu prepared for his daughter was also extremely rich, and there was a great posture of the family!
