Chapter 1267: The Beginning of the Han Capital (2)
Early morning.
The sky was still bright. In the Han capital, there were many officials and officials, walking through the streets and alleys, and when they saw the door, they went up and knocked on the door.
Li's Hutong, Li Xiaohu's house.
Name implies. The reason why this Lijia Hutong is called Lijia Hutong. It's because there are a lot of people with the surname Li here. Li Xiaohu is 42 years old and lives with his wife, son, and grandson.
The family makes tofu for a living, and there is not only a tofu shop on the street, but also a grain and oil shop next to the tofu shop.
Don't look at it like this, their family is not having a good time. That's a lot of bad things.
Every day, there will be ruffians and hooligans who come to ask for protection money, and the yamen's arrest and small officials also need to be honored.
The last remaining money is the ration of their family.
However, this is also much better than closing the doors.
These days. The Han soldiers were under the city, and martial law was imposed in the capital. The tofu shop and the grain and oil store were closed, and the family drank the northwest wind.
At that time, Li Xiaohu was very worried, he was a big family, there were many people and many mouths, so he didn't want to end up starving to death.
But then things took a turn for the worse. The Han soldiers and the king of Han entered the city, and the Emperor Daojun ran away and was captured alive, saying that the state of Chu had perished.
It's Hantian now.
Li Xiaohu doesn't care if the Chu State is destroyed, the emperor of alchemy, who cares if he dies or not? He cares about whether his family can survive.
It's better to die than to live.
Later he found out that the problem was not big.
Whoever has no food rations can get 10 days of rations according to the number of people in the family as long as they report to the government.
You know, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the capital. Hundreds of thousands of mouths.
This made Li Xiaohu amazed. Where did the Han army get so much food? Isn't Liaodong a bitter cold place?
The people are all yellow-skinned and hungry. So he also developed a wolf nature, and he was particularly powerful in fighting.
Of course. Li Xiaohu was just curious and didn't care.
Anyway, when the Han army entered the city, there would be no chaos if there was grain and coarse salt.
People.
As long as you have a bite to eat, you're good to go.
I just don't know, when will normal order be restored in the capital?
When will your own grain and oil store and tofu shop open?
Li Xiaohu woke up early in the morning and started Tai Chi in the yard. His wife and two daughters-in-law are busy in the kitchen.
Grandsons and granddaughters were playing wildly in the yard, and the yard was filled with laughter like silver bells.
"Bang Bang Bang !!" Just then, there was a heavy knock on the door. Li Xiaohu was taken aback, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
Could it be that the Han Army has revealed its true colors?
Door-to-door looting?
"Li Xiaohu. I'm Zhang Chenbei. Open the door, I'll tell you something. A familiar voice rang out. Li Xiaohu breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Chenshu is a fast catcher in the county government, and he lives in the alley next door.
Li Xiaohu opened the door and saw Zhang Chenshu wearing a fast hunting suit, with two subordinates, looking like an official business. He beat a drum in his heart again, and asked cautiously, "Chen Vinegar, is there something wrong with your appearance?" ”
"Lao Li. The king of Han entered the capital, you already know. Now the era name is Jianwu. That is, it is Jian Wuye who sits in the Dragon Court. ”
"Yesterday, the Han court had migrated. The county commander and the government brought many subordinates to settle in the yamen. Today, the court has an order to open the city gates. The people were allowed to enter and leave the capital. ”
"But it is not advisable for the people to go far away. Because Hebei is still unstable at present. In some places, there are people who support their own troops, and in other places, bandits are rampant. However, in the territory of Suncheon, it is still stable. ”
Zhang Chen said with a smile.
Li Xiaohu was overjoyed, and the grain and oil store and tofu shop were able to open.
Then he was curious: "Aged vinegar." What about the official? Isn't it a good officer? ”
"It's hard to say whether a good official is a good official or not. But it looks very energetic and resolute. Moreover, Jian Wuye has already ordered to rectify the rule of the world. First of all, start with the capital city, and Suncheonfu. ”
"If you are not afraid of the court officials, you are afraid of the court lying on the corpse. The so-called clay sculpture six books, paper paste three pavilion old. This Jianwu master is the founder of the country, and he can work hard. We have hope for the days to come. Your grain and oil store and tofu shop will have a lot less messy things in the future. ”
Zhang Chen Vinegar lowered his voice and said with a smile.
He was an old man in the yamen, and he had been in the yamen for many years. I've seen a lot of officials. The officials of the Han Dynasty did have a spirit.
Like.
Well.
It's like a sharp knife, and you can tell at a glance that it can cut people.
It's just the beginning, and it's hard to say what will happen in the future. But at least his first impression was good, and it felt like his life would not be too bad later on.
As long as the world is peaceful.
Life is getting better.
Who cares who the emperor is? If the emperor is a Ming Jun, then it is my father.
If the emperor is unconscious, then he will spit, it is my grandson.
"That's good. That's good. Li Xiaohu also laughed when he heard this, and nodded again and again. The two talked for a while, and Zhang Chenshu left.
Countless Yamen officials like Zhang Chen vinegar spread the news of the opening of the Han capital throughout the capital.
But the water in the capital was only slightly active, and then calmed down.
This is the capital of a country with a population of hundreds of thousands. In the past, countless daily necessities reached the capital through the canal every day, supplying hundreds of thousands of people to consume.
Now the world is at war, and business activities have completely stopped.
Just like Li Xiaohu's shop, there is no grain, oil, soybeans, and it can't be opened.
But the Han Dynasty had already prepared.
Starting from Liaodong, passing through Shanhaiguan and finally reaching Handu. The Han army built a wide, smooth cement road.
The merchants of Liaodong and Youyan undertook the task of merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. Trucks of various materials were transported and came to Handu to sell.
Make money.
Meanwhile. Tianjin Port and other important ports in Beizhili. Merchant ships docked one by one. There were Youyan merchants, Xinqi merchants, and Ryukyu merchants, who transported a large number of materials to the shore to enrich the capital.
An invisible hand is shrouded in the sky above the Han capital.
Tell the people of the capital plainly.
All right.
Hundreds of thousands of urban populations, hundreds of thousands of mouths, just a trivial matter. The Han Dynasty can hold it.
Therefore, within a few days, the water in Handu was active again. All kinds of shops are open, and the streets are bustling with people.
But it is different from the Chu period.
Take Li Xiaohu's shop as an example. In the past, there were many people who exploited them, local ruffians, hooligans, and official thieves.
During the Han Dynasty, there were more catches on the streets, and they were all energetic, which could scare people very much.
Ruffians and hooligans or something, of course, there are fewer.
and there were no officials to exploit the people.
From top to bottom, a wave of wind was generated that swept the entire officialdom.
The rain moistens everything silently.
The people felt that the sky had changed.
From Chutian, it became Hantian.
The capital of Chu has also become the capital of Han.
