13. The township class is really difficult to calm down
Hong Jinglai used a Tai Chi push-hand move to push away all obstacles, leaving only the puddle he saw at the moment.
At the same time, Liu Xiaoyuan was asked to post a notice to inform the people who were still in Yuanzhou that the government had begun to provide relief to the people. Anyone who had no means of living could come down to Yuanzhou City to drink porridge.
The advantages of Yuanzhou's strong feudal power have also emerged. There are many yamen, and there are many officials and servants in charge, as well as catching bandits and soldiers. Although the weather is cold, making straw huts and mud nests is a common craft of the common people.
, not to mention that there are still many people living near Wonju. The main factor affecting the relief is the lack of fuel.
Anyway, under the supervision of Hong Jinglai, a porridge factory outside Yuanzhou City was quickly established. Hong Jinglai did not need to dig wells and branch camps personally, and his subordinates naturally took care of it.
The old and weak people left behind in the local area were happy because they had difficulty moving. There was no problem for the porridge factory to kill themselves with a bowl of thick porridge. As long as the porridge factory was open, there would be no chaos in Wonzhou.
But the people are happy because the people are happy, but many local village bosses who are "taken out of the big households" are not happy. They are usually the only people who feed the common people and run rampant in the countryside. Now they are being bullied by the mud-legged and unruly people. How can they
Can bear it.
What Hong Jinglai said in the administrative office made it clear that he just doesn't want to take care of it, and you will suffer the consequences yourself.
Even if you don't want to suffer a loss, after the disaster is over, don't you still have an IOU? Just ask your parents to make the decision for you. After all, you are all local emperors. It's not the same as playing with one or two ordinary people.
Of course, if you can get Yu Jun, I will lose!
"I'm afraid that this Superintendent Hong is a peace officer from Sungkyunkwan. I don't think he will be troubled..." Kong Shangxuan, with his hands behind his back, was actually quite discerning among the villagers who had taken refuge in the city.
"What is the origin of this eunuch?" someone asked to the left and right.
They, rural landowners, had already been emptied of food from their villages, not to mention there were "big thieves" in the countryside, so they naturally came to Yuanzhou City to escape the disaster. In fact, they were also worried about the rioters who were just borrowing food.
Will they really develop into an uprising? Otherwise, they won't rush to the big city where important ministers and soldiers are stationed. But the anger of being "robbed openly" of food is difficult to calm down, and I can't swallow it no matter what.
The capitalist knows that the rope is used to hang himself, but he will still sell it for a 200% profit.
The rural landlords knew that further persecution of the people would lead to an uprising and would kill their whole family, but they still wanted to break the bones and suck out the marrow.
Cheap!
"This eunuch is the nephew of His Majesty the King's grandfather, King Yuan, who is mourning the death of Wang Yuanfei, Huiqinggong. He is the third-ranked scholar of the Sungkyunkwan Confucian School in the Renxu Department." Someone reported slowly.
With this long list of origins.
hiss……
What a powerful family background, a relative of the emperor, a noble family in Beijing, a scholar in Huaxuan, and a Jinshi.
The two classes are at the highest level of the contempt chain. If there is another powerful father or uncle, then he is a standard boss! The kind that cannot be offended.
"Master Pastoral Hall, why are you trying to flatter me today without speaking for us at all?" Another person was a little dissatisfied.
The imperial court's taxes would not be collected at all without the help of rural classes like them. If Liu Xiaoyuan didn't help them to collect the taxes next year, they would push back and forth, and Liu Xiaoyuan would not be able to collect even a cent.
Now instead of helping them vent their anger, they do everything according to Hong Jinglai's wishes without saying a word. So how can they, who are just student members and a rural class in a kindergarten, be able to fight against those who have Tianxian in their mouths and their bodies in their bodies?
Hong Jing, the deputy prisoner and relief envoy who was responsible for the king's orders, came.
"Mutang is from Putai. He is just returning to his hometown to rest for half a year. It would be unwise to offend the envoy sent by Superintendent Fenggao." Kong Shangxuan suddenly felt that these rural classes were not at all worth it.
Can't see clearly.
Liu Xiaoyuan's inability to collect taxes does not mean that the Hanyang court cannot collect taxes. These villagers can try to get Liu Xiaoyuan, but they cannot resist the pastoral envoys sent by Hanyang all the time. If the royal power does not extend to the county, it is just because of the high cost. If the consequences are bad,
King Quan, I have come to get you regardless of the cost, but you still can’t get it?
In addition, Liu Xiaoyuan's wife was born in the Pan Nanpu family, and with such a backing, he was naturally a well-rounded official. He said he would help when facing the township class, but he was submissive when facing Hong Jinglai.
He is not a fool. As long as this disaster is put off, he can move around and make money elsewhere, so why bother to work hard.
Wouldn't it be nice to make an abacus bead and move it around?
"No, if this is the case, it will definitely go to waste in the end!"
"Yeah yeah!"
"That's my six hundred shi of food, I can't let it go in vain!"
Everyone was talking and venting their dissatisfaction. Only Kong Shangxuan looked at the charcoal fire in the brazier without saying a word. Although he didn't have that much knowledge, he was far smarter than these villagers.
"The matter has not been decided yet!" Kong Shangxuan thought for a while.
"What do you say?" Everyone looked at Kong Shangxuan.
"Everyone should see that this eunuch only brought 30,000 stones of relief rice. Soon the Jiangling Observatory will come to pick up half of it, and nearby counties will also come to ask for it. In a few days, all the bottomless pits will be filled.
"
"What does Brother Kong mean?"
"If Hanyang does not send relief rice, the eunuch will come back to look for us in less than half a month."
The remaining grain in Gangwon Province is ultimately controlled by various government villages, palaces, and landlords. Although the rice in the countryside has been borrowed, no one understands the principle of the cunning rabbit's three burrows. Ordinary people know that eggs cannot be put in one basket.
It's no wonder that these rural families don't know that the rice store in Yuanzhou City is not the property of the rural families here.
Hong Jinglai wanted to continue to provide disaster relief, but in the end he had to blame them. Even if the borrowed grains were not returned, killing the unscrupulous people who took the lead in causing trouble would alleviate their dissatisfaction somewhat.
"Brother Kong is still insightful."
"Then we might as well wait for half a month?"
"Everyone, stop buying for the time being and wait and see if there is any help from Hanyang."
"What if there is?"
"Then it's going to happen from behind!" Kong Shangxuan narrowed his eyes.
A family member outside brought in a young man who looked like a Confucian scholar. No one here had any impression of this man. It was obvious that he did not appear to be a local from Wonju. Otherwise, if he was someone's nephew, even if he was from a small family, he would be more or less.
There will always be something familiar.
"Who is this?" someone asked.
"Sit down!" Kong Shangxuan asked the man to sit next to him.
"Does anyone here have a leader?"
"The leader?"
"The five families make unified laws."
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, I am." Someone raised his head and responded.
Chapter completed!
