Chapter 2157 Good times and beautiful scenery(1/2)
Turn the time back a little.
In the night, someone shouted,...If evil is not eliminated, it will eventually bring harm to the world!
Under the light of the fire, someone was holding a torch, seemingly driving away the boundless darkness, but under his feet, there was also a darkness that could never be illuminated, and was so rich that it was almost qualitative.
Ladies and gentlemen! Dear fellow citizens! Please listen to something!
The people who were awakened began to tilt their heads and prick up their ears.
The visitor held the torch high, like a prophet advocating freedom. I am a member of the Li family, and my ancestors lived here... On weekdays, I keep in mind the instructions of my ancestors and do my best for my hometown...
…
The bridge in Mentougou outside the city was built by Mr. Li! He didn’t get a penny for ten years! Mr. Li is a good man!
He is a good person!
And the aqueduct in the west of the city was also built with money from Mr. Li!
Mr. Li is a good man, a big fan... a great kind man!
A group of people standing behind Li's people were shouting.
The Li family smiled reservedly, like a child who said he didn't like to be praised, waving his hands, saying that such things are within the scope of his duties, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning...
Not being worth mentioning is not entirely modest, nor is it hypocritical, but it is simply not worth mentioning.
It is true that the bridge was built by the Li family, and it is true that there is no bridge toll, but the Li family will not say that there is a market on the other side of the bridge that belongs to the Li family...
At the same time, it cannot be said that the canal was built. Most of the water was used to irrigate the farmland of Li's family...
We act according to our true intentions and ask for more... The Li family waved their hands and smiled gently, saying it is not worth mentioning, so don't say anything... It is not his fault for coming here today and chatting late at night.
There are grievances that cannot be expressed, and there are injustices that cannot be straightened out, so I ask you fellow villagers to comment on the truth...
Are fellow villagers judges?
Can my fellow villagers enforce the law?
Can the fellow villagers make the decision for Mr. Li?
If it can't be done, then why does Mr. Li want his fellow villagers to judge?
But many people didn't think so. Their interest was aroused by the Li family. Some people opened the door and some opened the window, ready to comment on the matter for Mr. Li. It's really exciting to think about it. I, an ordinary person,
I can actually judge Mr. Li tonight!
Fellow villagers, the price of food has remained high recently, and people everywhere are dying of hunger... I see you below, and I feel so sad for you... Why are our people so miserable... Before I could finish my sentence, Mr. Li
There seemed to be some water sparkling in the corners of his eyes.
Everyone was silent for a while...
During this period, the price of food has soared, causing many people to cut back on food and clothing, and their eyes turned green. Therefore, when Li mentioned this matter, he was naturally deeply touched.
Master Li is a good man! A great philanthropist! The porridge shed in Mentougou a few days ago was set up by Master Li...
Mr. Li took out all the grain and grass in his warehouse to make porridge! Now there is really not a grain of wheat left!
No more! No more at all!
There were rats running around in the warehouse! There was not a single one left! They were all used to give porridge!
Mr. Li is a kind man! He is a great man!
How can we really have so many helpers if we don’t have food and grass? It’s like those people who clamor to lose money just to gain popularity and make friends, and then they desperately pay for it?
He understood a little and comforted himself. After all, it is not easy for Mr. Li. He also has to eat just right. A little bit, just a little. Who doesn’t have some to keep? Even if Mr. Li told a lie, then it’s okay.
It's not Mr. Li's business alone. There are so many big players. Could it be that Mr. Li can even make the decision?
Kind people are always considerate.
But today, a large amount of new wheat has arrived at Wang's Rice Shop! Mrs. Li coughed, since I was born and raised here, I naturally need to worry about you village elders, so I went to Wang's Rice Shop and begged them to open a warehouse to stock up on grain and stabilize the situation.
The price of grain... I am willing to use next autumn's harvest as a guarantee to give some grain on credit and distribute it to all the fellow villagers...
Oh, and this is a good thing? Everyone craned their necks, waiting to hear what was going on.
But... alas...
The originally hopeful and ecstatic heart gradually calmed down.
It's a pity...sigh...
A kind of disappointment that I don't know where to come from gradually surged up.
The people in Wang's rice shop actually refused to liquidate their warehouses and suppress their grains for a little money! Mrs. Li shouted heartbrokenly, and the muscles on her face began to twist. Everyone has their own ambitions, and you can't force them if you want! A certain Mr. Li does good deeds,
The same goes for not asking for anything in return, but also not asking for others...Wang's Rice Shop can do good deeds, so naturally it's the best, but...alas, it's a pity...alas...
Everyone was speechless.
Yes! Dear fellow villagers, Mrs. Li raised her arms and shouted, just like a hairless quail still trying to fly into the sky. If the Wang family owns all this food and grass, they may sell it at a high price, or they may open a warehouse to save others.
I have nothing to say about how to deal with it...but I heard that the Wang family's food was brought from Pingyang!
Where is Pingyang? Where does its food come from? Dear fellow villagers, you may wish to think deeply about it!
When we pay taxes, we do not seek high-ranking officials and generous salaries, nor do we seek rewards or other things, but we seek to ensure peace and stability for life! But what happens now? If we pay money and food, it will become a way for others to make money, and
What will be done? Where can I sue for this grievance, and where can I get justice for this injustice?
Dear fellow countrymen, what’s the point of this?!
Everyone was stunned. Immediately they either couldn't believe it or found it incredible. Of course, some people began to feel angry, a kind of anger that had been deceived...
Everyone felt deceived, and then they felt they finally had the truth.
Qiaoqi is a good person, but there are many evil people under him who only seek merit and wealth, regardless of whether the people live or die!
Now that the Hussars are out on an expedition, evil officials are causing trouble, torturing the people, and taking advantage of the lack of food to take advantage of the place!
Those in government are all bad people, and those in the opposition are all consciences. This is the habitual understanding of most people.
Ever since, the crowd began to get excited.
The former Qin Dynasty destroyed the six kingdoms, and its territory extended to Haiji Korea in the east, to Lintao and Qiangzhong in the west, to Xianghu in the south, to the north by the river, and from the Yinshan Mountains to Liaodong, covering the whole world. Isn't it a great undertaking?
However, it will harm life, just like now!
More and more idle people gathered, no matter whether they understood or not, they nodded one after another. Then more and more impatient people refused to listen to the dissuasion of their families, climbed over the walls and windows to the street, and gathered together to the point where they wanted to come.
more.
There is the battle of the Great Wall in the north, and the garrison of the Five Ridges in the south! Three hundred thousand people attack the Hu from the north, and five hundred thousand guard the Five Ridges! They banish all the people in the world and prepare for the garrison, but they don’t know why the people deserve it, and they continue to suffer this!
Idle men are of course more afraid of being sent to the frontier to guard that day than having a serious career. For them, they would rather stay in the local area than go to the Western Regions, otherwise they would have already left during the recruitment.
.
Nowadays, the Hussars march north to the desert, west to the Western Regions, and south to the extreme frontiers, also fighting in snowy areas. Their ambitions are even greater than those of the former Qin Dynasty! If there are so many garrison troops, and there is not enough grain for the farmers on the border, what will happen?
It is also what we need to provide! This is the root cause of the current food shortage! It is not our fault, because the food and grass are all provided on the side!
Faced with the rising food prices in the market, these idle men are also suffering. Now they heard that it was the Husband's fault, because the Husband had to support a large number of frontier troops, which led to the rise in food prices, and they suddenly became angry.
If you don’t have anything to eat, why should you provide food to places that are beyond your reach?
Emotions became more and more intense, and some people even raised their arms and shouted, expressing their anger and dissatisfaction about not having food.
Raising a hundred thousand people and killing more than a thousand slaves, is this a great achievement? Too much? It’s sad to say that it is! This autumn has encountered disasters, and the harvest is not enough. However, the Hussar has raised a large number of troops again, marching south to Jingxiang, and there is neither an inch of land nor a small amount of land.
I don’t know what a great achievement is! But it happened to be a large number of refugees, which made the counties and counties congested and the people suffered! Our food shortage is even worse! We don’t have food every day, and we suffer from hunger, which is unspeakable misery!
That's right! That's it! The idle man became even more indignant.
Originally, in counties and counties, idle men sometimes ran out of food, so they could always find some ways to make money. For example, they could wait by the potholes on the road, watch those people or cars fall into the potholes, and then swarm up to express their gratitude.
A helping hand fee, or some money to lift a car, is enough to spend a day drinking and having fun. But now that there are more refugees, all the hard work has been done for these refugees, and even the jobs on the streets have been filled.
, how to make these idle men not angry?
Soon someone shouted out, all the refugees should die! All the refugees should die!
We don’t have anything to eat, so what are we going to give the refugees to eat?! No wonder food prices are so expensive these days. It turns out that’s the reason! Someone shouted angrily again.
Damn it! Damn the refugees! More people were angry and shouted in unison.
The harvest this autumn is not good, and production has been reduced in many places. They know this, and this is also a fact. Those who shout in the middle are not deceiving these people, but some information has been concealed...
The small harvest is not the main reason for the soaring food prices, but an excuse used to push up the food prices. Of course, crops, or other commodities, cannot be smooth every year and there will be no problems.
, there are years of disaster and years of good harvest. But when the harvest is good, the two buttocks are squeezed tightly together, lest ordinary people know that in the good year, the harvest is too much and the price will drop, but in the bad harvest, the two buttocks are spread to the extreme.
They are clamoring to let everyone in the world know that there is no harvest now. What is the reason for this?
But the problem is, do some people really believe that the world is full of disasters every year, but what about the good years? Where are they? I don’t know.
At the beginning, Zhangye, Jiuquan County, Shang County, Shuofang, Xihe, and Hexi were established as field opening officials, and 600,000 soldiers were ordered to garrison the fields. The original intention was to provide for themselves, but where are they now? Now that the hussars have also arrived to garrison the fields, how much more can they be guarding?
Nowadays, the valley is very expensive. You can think about it. Who is responsible for it?
Husband! It’s Husband’s fault! It’s just someone who blurted it out. Anyway, what happened if you say it? Can’t you just say it? Does it break the law if you say it? You don’t have to be responsible anyway.
To be continued...
