Chapter 735
Ye Hua and Wang Pu looked at each other, and Wang Xianggong's face looked ugly... Even Guo Zongxun could not deceive this kind of trick, let alone Wang Pu. He was hit by the disaster in Hebei and transferred food from places with very mild disasters to help the prefectures and counties with severe disasters. This is the meaning of the question.
But the problem is that Yecheng has just established a cooperative, and it was a famous poor place in the past. The people only have a little food and cannot produce any excess food.
All the people in charge of various cooperatives took action, and they were carrying the instructions of the people and they must argue with the court.
Both sides talk about their own reasons, and no one can convince anyone. A conflict is inevitable. As long as a quarrel starts, the cooperative can be detained for gathering people to coerce the court and not obeying the rules.
It would be legitimate to ask for an order to cancel the cooperative.
Obviously, someone in the court made a move, and the other party should not know that Wang Pu has also come to Yecheng, or rather, he knew that Wang Pu was coming, so he deliberately issued an abandoned son.
Judging from the style of doing this, Zhao Pu's sinister style is really a bit of Zhao Pu's sinister style.
The surname Zhao, but again and again, you can't go back and forth. Do you really think I can't take you?
Ye Hua’s ancient well is not boring, and even has a sense of wanting to laugh. In his heart, Zhao Pu has slipped from his original quasi-ally to a position. As a warrior, Ye Hua knows how to deal with the enemy!
"Grandpa Wang, let's go and have a look, otherwise there will be trouble."
Wang Pu smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly: "In the face of a great disaster, I don't want to serve the country and save the people. Instead, I just plotted against it, fearing that the world would not be in chaos. Such a minister is really incompatible with the law of nature!"
Lao Wang suddenly activated the war horse, rushed to the front in anger.
Ye Hua and Crown Prince Guo Zongxun followed closely. When they arrived at the Yecheng Prefecture, they had been surrounded by the people.
There were a few people coming to each cooperative, and there were as many as two or two hundred people together.
In addition, there are handicraft cooperatives, transportation cooperatives, market cooperatives, industrial groups in the city, and ordinary people, with no less than a thousand people, surrounding the yamen.
They were filled with righteous indignation and glared at them, and there was fire in everyone's eyes!
What does the court mean?
Yecheng had just improved a little, so we came here to fight the autumn wind.
If you want to bully the people of Yecheng, you are not qualified!
The tough folk customs were fully exposed at this moment. Everyone held the farm tools and wooden sticks and had the urge to go in directly.
As for the imperial court, he was also on guard, with hundreds of yamen runners protecting the government.
This time, the censor who inspected Hebei was named Jiang Xuan. He was an official from the Ministry of Works. Because of his skill in government affairs and a well-established person, he was promoted to the position of censor.
He is in his forties this year, with long beards and very graceful.
Standing outside the lobby, you will be powerful without anger.
"You are so unlucky, how dare you run to the government office to act wildly. Do you still have the imperial court in your eyes?"
Jiang Xuan shouted loudly. After a while, Ma Gang said bravely: "Of course there is a court in our eyes. But, no matter we want food, we can't let us speak, right?"
Jiang Xuan glanced at them and said, "Speak? Do you talk with a knife, gun, stick? If you want to talk, let it go!"
Facing the angry rebuke, Ma Gang blushed. He gritted his teeth and threw away the stick in his hand. The others also put down their weapons.
At this time, a yamen runner rushed up and took away all the weapons, leaving a group of people with bare hands.
Jiang Xuan smiled, "Okay, if you have anything to say, please tell me, listen."
His move was very beautiful. Ye Hua and Wang Pu were both masters. They could see that the cooperative was probably defeated before the battle.
Even though they saw that the two of them did not speak, they still watched silently.
Sure enough, the two sides began to confront each other.
Magang first calculated the calculations. Last year, the autumn grain was harvested only one stone and three dou of land, which was one of the rare bumper harvests in recent years. After threshing, only one stone was left.
Based on the average of thirty or forty acres of land in a household, due to insufficient soil fertility, it is necessary to fallow. Therefore, only one-third can be used for autumn grain sowing, which means that only ten stones of grain can be harvested.
Although there is a lot of food, Yecheng has accumulated too much land owed over the years, and he has to use three stones to repay the owed. No one is willing to live with debts, especially the debts owed to the court, which is even more unbearable.
A family also needs five stones as food rations, and they also have to pay two stones to the cooperative. The cooperative collects all the grain and sells it in the city for money and supplies, and buys seeds of farm tools and seeds... Some cooperatives even leave only three stones of grain for each household, and the rest is sold for purchase of cattle, horses and livestock.
A plowing ox can bear three strong laborers.
Everyone tightened their belts just to make it better next year.
Nowadays, every cooperative is not well-off and has almost no spare food.
Moreover, every household needs to rebuild the house and the school. Not to mention anything else, just hiring a teacher, a year of slaughter costs 30 stagnant, as well as books and ink... Everyone is spending time on the moon, going out early and returning late, working hard. After working for more than half a year, sweat has fallen into eight petals. What is the battle? Isn’t that kind of hope?
Ma Gang said with red eyes and said in grief: "Sir, do you want each of our cooperatives to take out a hundred stone of grain? Do you want our people to starve? Or will our children not be able to study? What are you feeling for?"
The others also yelled, "What does the court mean? Is it because I can't stand all of us?"
Jiang Xuan looked at it and smiled contemptuously, "The theory of ignorance! You are the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and you only have a small account in your heart! You must know that the locust plague in Hebei urgently needs relief. If you are unwilling to send food, those victims will come to you to ask for food. At that time, will it not be something that I can control?"
"What do you mean?" Ma Gang reached out and scolded, "You, do you want those people to come and rob us?"
Jiang Xuan snorted, "It's not because of my official's request, but because they have to come to survive. You are a rooster and you will never give up any retribution, and it will be a matter of time before you can get rid of it!"
Everyone present was so angry. What is this? Is it threatening us?
Grandma, I’m not afraid of threats!
Don’t need the victims to come to us, we will destroy you first!
Some young and energetic people clenched their fists.
Jiang Xuan sneered: "If you and other ignorant people dare to gather people to cause trouble and disrupt the major disaster relief of the court, as the censor, I will immediately write a letter to impeachment. At that time, you will be arrested and sent to the Hedong Coal Mine, so that you will be exhausted to death!"
Ma Gang and others looked at each other, and a few people shouted: "Catch it if you catch it. Anyway, the grain that was produced last year was obtained by our own hard work, and no one can take it away!"
"Yes, if you want to take away the food, you will take our lives first!"
These people supervised the leaders of the military cooperatives, and they are not ordinary people who are honest and honest.
Someone clamored and immediately started to make a fuss.
Jiang Xuan looked at the boiling crowd, and the sneer at the corner of his mouth became stronger and stronger.
"Ignorous and unruly people, openly disobeying the imperial orders. Even if I want to spare you, there is nothing I can do!" He looked left and right, "Take it!"
With a command, the yamen runners rushed up with iron rulers and chains.
Because the people's weapons were taken away, the yamen runners caught off guard. Ma Gang's nose was hit, and blood flowed, and blood was everywhere on his face and chest.
This made him beat him up!
Grandma, I was fighting the Khitans back then, but I was afraid that you would not succeed!
He picked up a stone and smashed it hard on the yamen runner's face, then kicked it in the chest, and the yamen runner was immediately kicked out of breath.
Ma Gang picked up the iron ruler on the ground and rushed towards the others.
The two sides fought in an instant. Although there were many experts like Ma Gang on the people, they were mobs and had no weapons. Just leaning on their fists, they were not opponents of the yamen runners. Especially these yamen runners were carefully selected by Jiang Xuan, and they were ruthless and showed no mercy. The people were beaten to pieces and blood.
When the two sides fought, Ye Hua stepped aside, and his entourage stood in a semicircle, protecting him and Wang Pu.
"Grandpa Wang, this person deliberately provoked trouble and forced the people to take action!"
Wang Pu nodded: "If you borrow food, you should understand the reason and move it with emotion. How can you directly threaten it? If you don't give food, you will arrest people and send them to the coal mine? This person intends to provoke disputes and has bad intentions!"
"But this trick works!" Ye Hua sneered: "If it weren't for you and I'd like to meet, we would have to have a different opinion at that time. Some people would say that the people in the cooperative were arrogant and bold, attacking the imperial court's orders and fighting against the imperial court's government orders, which was a rioter and a troublemaker! Then he asked His Majesty to abolish the cooperative. Fortunately, the Wang Xianggong followed him, otherwise he would not be able to explain clearly!"
Wang Pu's face turned slightly red. In the past, he was undecided about the issue of the cooperative. Seeing the benefits of the cooperative, he was also worried that it would threaten the imperial power and was deeply entangled.
But now Wang Pu is becoming more and more determined. Cooperatives are definitely good for ordinary people. As for some corrupt officials, they bully others by relying on their power. If there is no protection from the cooperative, the people will be a pile of fish and meat and can be slaughtered.
As the chief minister, even if the emperor is promoted and trust is heavy, he cannot only have the emperor and no people in his heart!
"Champion Hou, I will definitely argue with Your Majesty, please rest assured!"
Wang Pu's speech is much more convenient than Ye Hua's speech.
Ye Hua turned his head and wanted to see Guo Zongxun's expression, but he didn't know that the little guy suddenly disappeared.
Ye Hua was stunned and looked around and suddenly found a thin figure. He was raising his fist and smashing it at a yamen runner. The little guy hit the other party's temple, turned his head and smiled at Ye Hua, revealing two front teeth.
Who knew that the young man, Langshuai, was kicked by a sweeping leg in just three seconds, ate a mouthful of mud, lying on the ground and wailing in pain...
Ye Hua rolled his eyes. Jiang Xuan wanted to throw dirty water on the cooperative and deliberately provoked a conflict. But he had met the more powerful Guo Zongxun!
"Why are you still standing there? Help us!"
