retaliate

Chapter 1052

Hoarding is one of the things rulers hate most.

However, most of the people who are capable of doing such things have backgrounds, and the superiors can only turn a blind eye most of the time.

Hello everyone, it's really good!

The sky in northern Xinjiang is high and the emperor is far away. The local powerful and rich people are like the local emperors. They have done hoarding and hoarding for countless times.

The less something there is, and the more people need it, the harder they will attack.Use various resources in your own hands to monopolize goods and raise prices.

The people bought it while shouting and cursing.

This happens once or several times every few years, or even every year.

It's like cutting leeks.

One crop after another.

The rush to buy salt this time is an action to cut leeks.

The common people also rob, but how much money can they have?
The main force is still the rich.

Yang Xuan said, don't care, which caused everyone to speculate whether he discovered the salt, or opened up a smuggling channel again.

But seeing that the convoy delivering the salt did not arrive, this hope was also shattered.

At this moment, a strange crime of hoarding was thrown out, which surprised Liu Qing and others.

"You don't care about it, just sit back and watch them rush to buy. The more they rob, the more fines will be confiscated afterwards."

But these methods are too domineering... Luo Cai said directly: "Isn't it too domineering?"

Liu Qing said: "Just right!"

Song Zhen stroked his beard and nodded, "It's not overbearing."

Why does this old man feel that the two of you have something to hide from this old man... Luo Cai looked at the two of them, thinking of inviting them to drink in the evening, and overwhelmed Liu Qing, who was the worst drinker, to find out the news.

Song Zhen said: "If you post it later, it will be suspected of doing it on purpose. Post it immediately!"

Liu Qing said: "Look, old man, it's just an understatement... the three of us nod, and the Duke nods. Just say to the outside world that the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion has passed a batch of new laws..."

So, it's settled.

These new laws will be published this afternoon, and then they will be shelved.

"Little Xuanzi, you are a real scammer!"

Suzaku felt that Yang Xuan was getting worse.

Yang Xuan felt that this was a different type of fishing!

Those who wish to take the bait!
Yang Xuan felt that he was fishing for people's hearts.

Greed is the instinct of human beings. Desires are endless. One mountain is as high as the other.

How much salt can rich people eat in their homes?

According to the results of Jinyiwei's survey, rich people generally have one or two years of salt storage in their homes. That is to say, even if they don't buy it this time, they can survive until the day when Northern Xinjiang may collapse due to lack of salt.

Their motives for snapping up the salt, then, are obvious.

Just to make money!

Yang Xuan held a roster, "Here are the businessmen I praised at the beginning. At the beginning, they sent food to northern Xinjiang, which alleviated the food shortage crisis in northern Xinjiang. But after more than half a year, they changed suddenly and turned into poaching the corners of northern Xinjiang." The worm. This human heart! Even the gods can't fathom it."

"Look, old man, we still have to educate!" Liu Qing said.

"Education is useless!" Song Zhen said disdainfully: "The word "education" has been mentioned for thousands of years, but those who should be greedy are still greedy."

Luo Cai said: "Every year, the Ministry of Officials advises and educates the officials, and the documents are distributed everywhere, but those who should be corrupt are still corrupt, and those who should be dereliction of duty are still careless. After a long time, the old man knows that this enlightenment! Use it alone Useless."

Lao Luo still has some real materials... Yang Xuan said: "People's hearts are unpredictable, and people's hearts are profit-seeking. If you want to restrain people's hearts, education is necessary, but education alone is useless, only with a big stick. Education is Gentle words, a big stick is a deterrent, if you obey, you will be gentle, if you are not obedient, you will be beaten..."

"One article and one martial arts!" Luo Cai nodded, "Good!"

"Kingdom."

Helianyan is here.

"What's the matter?"

Yang Xuan asked.

He Lianyan came in, "Jin Shun suddenly said that he knew where there was salt."

"Oh!"

Yang Xuan nodded, "Bring it here."

Song Zhen said, "I'm afraid it's fake news."

Fake news is not afraid, but the situation is urgent, and time cannot afford it!

When Jin Shun was brought, his face was livid and his whole body was stiff.

If he blows it for another day, this person will definitely be gone.

As soon as he came in, he knelt subconsciously, but his knees were stiff, and as soon as his body moved forward, he fell to the ground.

puff!
Yang Xuan covered his forehead, "..."

Liu Qing coughed dryly. "Stand up."

Jin Shun, who was erected, had a bruised nose and a swollen face, weeping in pain.

"Where is the salt?" Song Zhen asked.

Jin Shun said while weeping: "The villain was delivering goods to Sangzhou two years ago, when he passed by Su County, he missed Sutou and found a Taoist temple.

The villain stayed in the Taoist temple, the Taoist was kind, and even made food for the villain at night.When the villain ate tofu, he felt that the taste was not right. When he asked, he said that there was salt brine behind the Taoist temple... The Taoist temple had never bought salt for more than a hundred years. "

"If it's small..." Liu Qing felt that this matter was meaningless.

Jin Shun panicked when he heard that, "Big! It's a big deal! It's just that most of the salt produced in the Tang Dynasty comes from the salt lake in the northwest, which is very cheap. Many places will lose money if they produce salt, so they put it on hold.

At dawn, the villain looked at the salt well, it wasn't deep, and it could be found anywhere.The Taoist said that any hole dug in that area is a salt well. "

Yang Xuan asked, "How old is it?"

Jinshun drew a circle with both hands, "Don't talk about more than ten acres of land."

This is……

Yang Xuan asked: "Look at that place, is there any vegetation?"

Jin Shun shook his head.

"How big?"

This time, Jin Shun didn't dare to answer casually, and thought carefully, "The villain just took a look, and didn't see the side!"

Song Zhen shook his body, "Where there is salt, no grass will grow!"

Luo Cai glanced at Yang Xuan, thinking that Zitai also knew about it?
Yang Xuan got up, "Throw him in the prison, eat and drink. If this is true, it will be a great achievement. If this is false, it will be a meal!"

Jin Shun knelt down smoothly this time, and howled, "The villain swears, everything is true!"

Yang Xuan said to Liu Qing: "Sangzhou is on the right side of our northern border. Last time Chang'an was going to attack Mr. Huang, I ordered the Sun Ying of Fengzhou to send troops to deter Sangzhou and knock the mountain to shake the tiger. The governor Wu Yun did not respond. Order Helianyan is here."

Helianyan was outside.

"Kingdom."

"Do you know Wu Yun, governor of Sangzhou?"

"Wu Yun was born in a powerful family, and he is the eldest son. But he is good at painting, and he is obsessed with painting. In Sangzhou, he is known as the ruler of doing nothing."

"Isn't this bitch just not caring about things?" Song Zhen smiled and said, "Are the people in Sangzhou angry?"

He Lianyan said: "He has been in Sangzhou for several years, and every year, please transfer back to Chang'an, saying that if he hadn't been the eldest son, he would have resigned from office and gone home to paint."

Luo Cai looked strange, "I just remembered, this is a wonderful man. Please transfer back to Chang'an every year, and say that you are willing to take up idle work. But every time the local people in Sangzhou will keep him, saying that he is a talented person, and Sangzhou must have him!"

Regardless of work or ability?
Everyone was stunned, but only Luo took it for granted, "Many officials feel that they are full of knowledge, sitting at home without anything to do, and imagined many ways to govern the local area. After arriving in the local area, they are blind... the old man made a slip of the tongue."

He glanced at Yang Xuan, the swearing was brought out by Yang Guogong, the old man felt very comfortable and said it from time to time.

He Lianyan lowered her head slightly, holding back a smile.

Yang Xuan smiled, "Mr. Luo continues."

Luo Cai continued: "Those officials use all the governance methods they imagined, and nine times out of ten they are bad things. It doesn't matter if their own bad things don't matter, but the local people suffer unspeakably. Therefore, officials who govern by doing nothing , but very popular!"

Yang Xuanruo was thoughtful, "That is to say, the common people don't expect to have a competent official who can benefit them, but they just hope to come...don't make a fuss about it."

"Hahahaha!"

……

Jinshun was thrown into the prison, and it was a single room.

Next door is Cheng Guogong Helian Luo.

"What did you do?"

Thanks to his younger sister Helian Yunshang, Helian Luo is also alone, and the conditions are good.

Of course, there is also credit for the money donated by Cheng Guogong.

The amount of money sent each time was not so much, so Yang Xuan couldn't bear to treat their brothers and sisters harshly.

Jinshun was numb.

"The old man is so stupid!" He burst into tears, "I have a great future, the old man is so stupid, the old man is so mean!"

He raised his hand and slapped the corner of his mouth vigorously.

After a while, the corners of his mouth swelled up.

"Second brother is here."

From outside came the flattering voice of the jailer.

"Ok!"

Helian Luo threw herself on the railing, "Second Brother, Second Brother!"

"What's the matter?"

Wang Laoer turned a corner.

Seeing that he was carrying an oiled paper bag, Helianluo smiled even more joyfully, "Second Brother, did you ever ask the Duke, when can my sister and I go out?"

Wang Er Er scratched his head, "It's not easy to live outside recently, and there are many people in Yingwei. If you brothers and sisters go out, you are afraid of being killed. What they said... will blame the Duke of the state, which will arouse the anger of the Duke of Cheng... ..."

"Then the dignitaries of Ningxing were angry." Helian Luomenqing with such means, "Helianhong is a dog!"

"I think you look like that dog!" Wang Laoer said, "An Sheng lives here, and it's not bad here."

"It's not bad, but it doesn't get the sun." He Lianluo's environment is similar to Nilu's, with good food, clothing and housing.

"When I come back this time, I will talk to the Duke and take you out for a walk."

"Thank you, second brother!" He Lianluo felt that this was out of the question, and Wang's second brother was bragging, but it was something to look forward to anyway!
Wang Laoer went to Helian Yunshang's side.

Wang Lao Er brought fried chestnuts, Helian Yunshang hadn't eaten them for a long time, sitting there, eating deliciously like a squirrel.

Wang Laoer said: "When I came out earlier, Yiniang approached me and asked me what I thought of you."

Helian Yunshang chewed on the sweet fried chestnuts, "What do you think?"

"It doesn't stink!"

"Ah!"

"I'm leaving this time, and I guess I'll come back later. If you have something to say, just say it."

"Who am I talking to?"

Helian Yunshang looked at him, "They ignored them."

Wang Laoer said: "You have to try!"

He turned away.

Helian Yunshang sat down, "Why am I unhappy?"

She rested her chin on her hands, "He took me to the northern border, so I should hate him! How come I don't even want to eat chestnuts when I hear him go?"

The chestnuts are well fried, some parts are black on the outside, and there is a hole in the middle, which can be easily peeled off along the hole.

The meat is slightly yellow, chew it, and it is full of sweetness.

Helian Yunshang sighed suddenly, "Hey! Come back sooner!"

No one answered for a long time.

Helian Yunshang muttered, "Heartless."

"understood!"

Wang Laoer's voice came from ahead.

Not far away!

……

Sangju is a non-existent place.

Many years ago, this was a wild land, and there were many dragons, that is, crocodiles.The dragon is considered by the people to be the pet of the gods and cannot be killed or approached.

Where there are many dragons, there are many swamps.

And there are many jungles.

Swamp and jungle are almost synonymous with danger.

It's okay, no one will come here.

In the middle of the Chen Dynasty, there was a severe drought, and the people were hungry and ate soil.Someone bought a dragon in the current Sangzhou area, and carefully roasted it to eat.

As for the pets of the gods, when humans are extremely hungry, even the gods will eat them.

As a result, the dragon meat was unexpectedly delicious.

Everyone's eyes were green, so they asked how many there were, and those who went said that they were everywhere.

The news spread like wildfire, and the hungry people in the surrounding area came one after another.

The mighty dragons also lost their dignity in front of the hungry people, and they became food in their mouths one after another.

After the dragon had finished eating, the hungry people found that this place was not bad, at least there was no shortage of water, so many hungry people chose to settle here.

"Many people in Sangzhou are the descendants of the hungry people in the past, and they are afraid of being hungry in their bones. They only want to be full, so the old man ruled by doing nothing, but got their joy."

On the top of the city, Wu Yun, the governor of Sangzhou, was drawing a picture of hungry people hunting dragons.

Beside him, Xiao Lan stroked his beard and said, "The old man has been wondering what the taste of dragon meat is. Besides, what kind of god's pet, why didn't the gods get angry after being extinct..."

Wu Yun sketched out the appearance of a dragon, raised his pen to look carefully, "People like to name everything unknown as gods, such as lightning and thunder, and earth dragon turning over..."

Xiao Lan said with a smile: "Someone outside said that Yang Xuannai of Beijiang was a traitor and was punished by Tiantian. But after a long time, he was fine, but the person who said he was punished by Tiantian was hit by a car unfortunately."

"Chang'an said he was a traitor, but Beijiang said he was a hero, who should he listen to?" Wu Yun said mockingly, "He is domineering, and he even dared to shout at His Majesty, saying that if His Majesty dared to touch Huang Chunhui, he would Raise troops to the south."

"Bold!"

"Actually, domineering is domineering! What disappoints me the most is that His Majesty chose to forbear. Hey!"

"You can't fight, can you?"

"You don't need to fight, you should at least be angry and make an effort to govern. In this way, people in the world will naturally lean towards you. But he is still obsessed with singing and dancing in the pear garden. It can be seen that the food in the palace is quite good, and he eats too much."

These words ridiculed the emperor's need to target Beijiang when he was full... Xiao Lan didn't dare to answer, "Northern Xinjiang has left Longhua Prefecture, the situation is great!"

"Chang'an is getting more and more angry. It's a pity, it's just incompetent and furious!"

Wu Yun said disdainfully: "But he didn't have any means, so he stopped the salt smuggling in northern Xinjiang, and hooked up with Beiliao and joined hands together. Tsk tsk! I don't know what will be said about him in the history books a hundred years later."

"It must be stupid!"

Xiao Lan had worked with him for several years, and knew that the envoy did not want to be an official and was extremely arrogant, so he dared to say some taboo words.

"No, it must be Mingjun."

"Why?"

"Because of women!"

Wu Yun lost his mind to paint, put down his brush, walked to the city wall, looked into the distance and said:

"When Emperor Wu was here, those people didn't dare to speak out, and they could only hide their dissatisfaction. After she left, there were voices of crusade everywhere. They said that the rooster drives the morning, and perverted. They made up many lies and sent them to Emperor Wu. Splashing dirty water on his head. If it is too embarrassing in the history books today, how can it reflect the incompetence of Emperor Wu?"

"People's hearts are so dirty!" Xiao Lan sighed.

A team of rangers came.

brought a messenger.

"Han Ji met Wu Shijun." Han Ji saluted.

Wu Yun looked at him with his hands behind his back, "You don't admire the paintings by Duke Qin of Northern Xinjiang, what are you doing here in Sangzhou?"

Han Ji smiled, "The Duke said that he wants to come to Sangzhou and have a look."

Wu Yun was stunned, "Duke Qin came to Sangzhou?"

Xiao Lan shivered, "Why is he here?"

Han Ji said: "Play!"
