Section 426 Storm (1)
"I heard that three people were walking, and my teacher would be my country. Ten houses would have loyalty and faithfulness! Now in the summer disaster in Guanzhong, the people suffer from poor harvests, and the people suffer from separation. The poem says: Worrying about the miserable misery, thinking about the abuse of the country! The scholars Zheng Hui, Guo Xun, Guo Wu and others sacrificed their lives to seek righteousness and ran around the alleys, shouting in the market, practicing righteousness and benevolence, but they encountered unexpected surprises. I have very mercy! They named Zheng Huizirong as the Lord of Chiayi, Guo Xun as the Lord of Huairen, and Guo Wu Zixu as the Lord of Demu... They all had a fief of one hundred households to show my mood!"
With the reading of the Secretary Zhang Anshi, all the officials immediately bowed in unison: "My emperor is wise! I am solemn to obey the order!"
As a result, the storm kicked off.
The next day, Lantai issued another edict: The summer drought in Guanzhong was absent from the harvest. The scholars and officials all thought about the difficulties of people's livelihood and submitted memorials to advise me to do good deeds. I am worried and remember the difficulties of people's livelihood. I am forgiven the world. No land tax was paid in Guanzhong. The orders were to have a department, and the households were compiled and the people were drawn, and the households were divided into Dingkou of the counties, and the households were all given. The first tuition was for men, two stones per month, one stone for cradle son, half stone for cradle son, one stone for 70 years old, one stone for women, one stone for women, one stone for tuition, and one stone for tuition, and all stone for tuition are for tuition.
After the edict was issued, the officials were not allowed to delay, and the limit was on the eighth month of autumn. The officials were afraid that the minor officials would not know my intentions and harm the people. They sent the censors, the ministers, and the messengers to the three servants. They asked their elders: The emperor sent envoys to ask the elders of the county and townships, and the gentry. Now in the summer of Guanzhong, the people were suffering from hardships. The emperor ordered the officials to have quotas. The parents and fellow villagers could have hungry houses, and there were people who were short of food and hungry, and there were people who cooked with rice. The envoys reported it, and the county and townships investigated, and did not hide it! It would be better to order the "ignoring the superiors and being unrighteous"!
This edict will make everyone know that the weather has changed.
If there was no case before the assassination of a scholar, countless people might jump up, striving to "fight for profit with the people", or even make small moves and play conspiracies.
But now, no one dares to have this idea.
All court officials bowed their heads in a regular manner, saying that the emperor was wise and wise, and I was ignorant. Fortunately, Your Majesty knew that Wanli was wise and was kind-hearted, and came up with such a good policy for the people of Guanzhong.
We are so happy!
There is no way. Now the public opinion in Shilin is raging, and with the public opinion, the entire Chang'an has become a pile of firewood, just one point.
Now after the death and murder of the "Five Gentlemen of Chang'an", who dares to criticize and question the solution that the emperor came up with because of his "feeling of the virtues and righteous deeds of the Five Gentlemen".
Anyone must have no conscience.
People without conscience are scumbags who are heartless and slack!
Everyone can punish him!
Didn’t you see that now, not only scholars on the market, but even those who slaughter dogs and chickens are beginning to awaken?
To stop the emperor in this matter?
Wait for someone to throw the rotten eggs in the yard!
Maybe, at any time, a scholar-official may be blocking the door with people and scolding you for three days and three nights!
Didn't see that the public opinion was raging and the crowd was in anger. Even the gentlemen of Gu Liang, who had always liked to scold the Grand Secretary for "competing for profit with the people" and "please cook the sheep to thank the world" and the scholars and officials of the ancient literature school, had already shut their mouths and even joined the public opinion frenzy?
Therefore, this edict, which may have caused great resistance in the past and may have been blocked by various means, has now received unanimous support from civil and military officials in the court!
The upper class of the entire Han Empire has never been as serious and rigorous as it is now.
As a result, the command was conveyed layer by layer and executed at the fastest speed.
Those guys who were famous for their laziness and negligence in the past have become more serious this time.
All the household registration and population under the rule are counted.
Then, officials and troops were sent to the market and kept a close eye on all the grain merchants.
Notices and official documents are posted everywhere.
There is no way, the fool knows that this time the above is really serious.
No one dares to take this matter lightly.
If someone catches you, it will be a death sentence of "ignorance of the Supreme Being".
No matter how powerful the Wuzhu Coin God is, he cannot save his life.
Since then, starting from the Gyeonggi and Lingyi County under the rule of Taichangqing, the purchase and quota restrictions and quota restrictions began to take effect.
For a moment, the people of Guanzhong suddenly came out of despair.
In the minds of many people, since the country has intervened, made plans, and issued policies, they will definitely be saved.
For a time, the Liu family's reputation rose to a peak among the people, almost approaching the peak of Emperor Taizong's death.
The people's original bad impressions of the current emperor's mischief brought about by some of the past years disappeared in an instant.
In the eyes of many people, although this person is young, he is indeed a bit unreasonable.
But it is still reliable at critical moments!
Many people said in private: "Because of Taizong's legitimate grandson!"
………………………………………
On the night of early autumn, Huai City was quiet, and a torch appeared from afar, and then more and more.
Wang Mang walked majestic in front of him wearing armor and sword.
The officials in charge of guarding the night ban in Huai City were immediately frightened when they saw the iconic battle robe of the Tikka holding Jinwu.
"Zheng Jinwu was ordered to handle the case!" Wang Mang stepped forward and said, "Open the floodgates immediately!"
"No!" How dare the officials resist?
He quickly took out the key and opened the closed gate. The army of Jinwu immediately entered one after another.
In Han Ji, except for Jinwu, all officials in the yamen dared not handle cases at night or break into private houses at night. That would be a crime!
But Zhi Jinwu likes to take action when the night is late and his goal is not on guard.
Every time I look at my prey panicked and incredible face, I feel excited all the time!
Looking at the group of mansions in Huai City in the distance, Wang Mang showed an intriguing smile. He raised his hand and ordered: "According to the emperor's decree: Huai City merchants despise the king's laws, have no father or king, they are all chaotic ministers! They will be arrested, and without their whole family, they dare to resist and kill them without a single person!"
In fact, one hour after the Five Gentlemen Case, Wang Mang had already investigated the matter.
The reason why it has been delayed until now is just to wait for the emperor's order.
Of course, there are also reasons why he likes to watch his prey struggle.
"I am ordered by the general!" A lieutenant immediately received the order, drew out his sword, and ordered: "All Huai City merchants have no home!"
"No!" The soldiers agreed.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the peace and singing and dancing in the entire Huai City were smashed into pieces by swords, guns, swords and halberds.
One by one, the rich merchants, who had millions of families, had countless servants and servants, were rushed into the mansion by the army and pressed to the ground like catching chickens and ducks.
All the young and old of the family were dragged out.
Wang Mang held the sword and walked on the torch that had been held by the soldiers, illuminating the streets of Huai City as if it were daylight, and chuckled softly: "The fire at the city gate affected the fish in the pond, haha... I can't blame me when I got to the nine springs..."
As a businessman...
Whether in the eyes of kings, ministers or literati, they are just waiting to slaughter pigs and sheep.
Not to mention the merchants in Huai City, one of them is counted as one, everyone is full of evil, covered with blood and sins.
Even if you have no sins, you will accumulate good deeds and virtues in your daily life. Can you still have life under the six woods and three feet of law?
Just like now, it is obvious that Zhou is involved in the case, many of the dozens of money merchants in Huai City must be unaware of it.
but……
According to the Han law, everyone is in charge!
If they want to blame, they can only blame themselves, why do they choose to be a businessman? They are the worst-known Ziqian merchants among the merchants.
"Ming Gong!" was walking in the neighborhood, an officer, with several soldiers, dragging a wealthy businessman with a big belly and a mess, threw him in front of Wang Mang: "This person is Zhou Ni, who instructed Zhong Bishe, Chang Bishe, to kill the Five Gentlemen!"
Wang Mang looked down at the businessman who was trembling and frightened in front of him.
Seems like I've seen it there?
Oh, by the way, last year, this great businessman came to celebrate his birthday. He took three hundred kilograms of gold and three pieces of fire-washing cloth in the Western Regions. He was very rich and rich.
I heard that I have a good relationship with the Taifu and have been a guest of honor for several marquises. It is said that his ancestors were also favorite ministers of the late emperor!
but……
What is the favorite minister of the late emperor?
Emperor Taizong loved Deng Tong so much that he handed over all the coins in the world to this favorite minister.
As a result, as soon as the former emperor ascended the throne, he confiscated Deng Tong's family and threw this big man who once dominated the world's money minting market in Chang'an and starved to death!
"Take it away!" Wang Mang waved his hand and said, "You can't let him die! This thief must be clear about the punishment of the canon!"
"No!" The officer immediately took the order happily.
Chapter completed!
