Chapter 2156: Respect others and everyone respects them
The setting sun is like blood, and the riots in the Sanfu in Guanzhong finally broke out.
The point that first erupted was near Lantian, which was also an area with a large number of refugees. Lantian was the first stop to enter Guanzhong after Wuguan. When Liu Bang entered Guanzhong, he also walked on the Lantian line of Wuguan. In the early Han Dynasty, there was almost no one interested in this line of Wuguan. After all, starting from Funiu Mountain in Nanyang, it was basically considered to have penetrated into the valleys. If you are not careful in moving in the Qinling area, you will lose your direction. Therefore, Liu Bang, who decided to take the Wuguan line at the beginning, was undoubtedly a brave and brave man.
And now, some people are preparing to eat crabs...
It is no longer possible to find out how it broke out. It is said that someone should have been in the queue during the queuing process, which triggered a dispute. Then someone transferred his anger to the rice shop and began to beat and rob the rice shop clerk. Just like in later generations, there were people who beat the cashiers if they were not allowed to go to the line. Some people's anger always came inexplicably, and they could easily take their anger on others.
Is the rice shop guy the price set?
Obviously not, but the angry people don’t care about these things at all...
Almost in the blink of an eye, the unrest in Lantian had not subsided. In the area of Sanfu in Chang'an, many rice shops were treated the same. These rice shops were smashed open, the guys were beaten, some were even beaten or trampled to death. Then the food stored in the rice shops was swept away, and some were set on fire.
The zero-yuan purchase activity is not limited to a certain skin color, and what’s interesting is that most of the people participating in the zero-yuan purchase are not refugees, but ordinary residents around Sanfu, Chang'an. Many of these ordinary residents thanked each other when they received the benefits of the cavalry last year...
Lao Wang was a native of Chang'an. Now he was staggering and limping back along the street with blood. Even so, Lao Wang still held the rice bag in his hand tightly, even though the rice bag was stained with some blood.
Lao Wang held the wall and looked back. In the direction of the rice shop in the distance, countless noisy sounds were floating in the wind.
Some shops on the street quickly began to seal the door panels, fearing that their families would be implicated, and some people curiously stretched their heads from the door of their rooms. Some even heard of robbing food, fearing that they would not be able to grab them if they were too late, and shouted and ran wildly at the place where the past happened.
Mr. Wang is old. Although he knows in his heart that most people are not much old to live, after all, as long as he opens his eyes, he has to survive, not to mention that there is a young man to raise at home. Mr. Wang likes the most, when he finishes the day's work and feeds his grandson and himself, he lies lazily in the yard waiting for darkness, and then listens to his grandson calling his grandfather to ask about things on his left and right. This is the most comfortable time of the day.
Until a while ago, everything changed.
When Lao Wang opened his eyes every day, his heart was filled with panic.
What to do if you eat today?
Will the price increase again today?
Lao Wang is a carpenter. Ordinary people don’t say anything about the furniture in their homes, but they always make up for it. If they receive a marriage order and want to make a fuss for their son and daughter, it is Lao Wang’s happiest time.
However, during this period, there were fewer people who repaired orders or used furniture.
The money is less and the food is more expensive.
There is not a rice shop without food, but there is a price increase.
Lao Wang was not complaining, but was it useful to complain? The rice shop staff smiled and said that the price of food they had been high and they had no choice.
However, when the rice shop guy said there was nothing he could do, could he not laugh so happily?
This made Lao Wang always feel that these guys were laughing at him.
So when someone started robbing today, the old head Wang, who was originally queuing in line, ignored the painful wail of the rice shop clerk. After hesitating for a while, he joined the ranks of robbing rice...
In the chaos, Lao Wang didn't know where he bumped into the head or was hit by someone. Anyway, his forehead was broken, and blood slammed into his eyes, and everything turned red.
The blood was still flowing, dripping down his face.
There seemed to be people running around on the street, and Lao Wang just wanted to go home quickly. There was a grandson waiting to eat at home...
The son died during the turmoil in Chang'an. Then a year later, the daughter-in-law silently said that she was going to buy vegetables and left the child and ran away. Well, compared to being kidnapped, Lao Wang was still willing to believe that her daughter-in-law just ran away, which also showed that at least she could find someone else to live a good life.
"The inspection is here!"
"Run quickly! The inspection is here!"
Accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, more people on the street began to run in chaos, and naturally some people got into the box and ran over Lao Wangtou.
Lao Wang moved forward step by step, and suddenly heard the footsteps that seemed to have just run over came back. Lao Wang looked up and saw a waving black shadow...
『台台!』
More blood gushed out, blurring his vision. Before he could feel the severe pain, Lao Wang's head fell down, and the blood spread throughout his vision, and then the darkness came.
"It's food! Food! Hahaha! It's really food!"
In the last bloody color, Lao Wang heard the cheerful cry and stretched out his hand hard, trying to show that it was food for his grandson, but in the end, no sound could be made and collapsed...
…(/_\)…
"here we go……"
Wang Chang stood on the high platform in the schoolyard near Chang'an, holding the flag in his hand, looking up at the black smoke rising from afar. At the beginning of the whole turmoil, Wang's rice shop was undoubtedly the first to be affected. The most severely damaged group could not say that there was Wang's shop in the black smoke.
Standing beside Wang Chang was Kan Ze. In the schoolyard, flags were waving, and the soldiers who had gathered and lined up stood like statues, with a faint murderous aura rising up.
Wang Chang started as a small clerk under the command of the cavalry, and today he became a part of Pang Tong's overall plan. It was not about flattery, but about the results accumulated over time.
Wang Chang did not directly order to set off, but continued to wait for something.
After a while, several cavalrymen rushed from a distance and delivered the latest information.
Wang Chang opened it and took a look, and then handed it to Kan Ze, "It was not Pang Lingjun's order, but the scouts explored... Three cities and towns in the city were in chaos, and the rest of the square were closed... There were only two chaos in the cemetery... Zuo Fengyi was the most serious...
Kan Ze nodded and said, "Pang Lingjun's words were more than half of them, so he did not need to order to go out directly, and now...
"Should you wait a little longer," Wang Chang nodded, then looked up at the sky, and said, "After it was dark, I saw the dawn... On the dark moon and the wind were high, it was the time to kill and set fire... These moles will always emerge...
Although under the cavalry, a series of elite talents such as Pang Tong, Zhuge Xu Shu, Sima Xun Chen, Xun You, Jia Xun Jia Qu, etc. were gathered, it was obvious that these few people, or more than a dozen people, could support all the affairs and solve all the affairs of Guanzhong, Sichuan, Shu and North.
Even if Pang Tong and others are smart, a person's time is always limited, and those trivial but essential matters must be done by others. This is the case even in later generations, just like a mayor will definitely not be able to move a table and sit on the street to register for vaccine distribution for people...
If you really do this, it will be a dereliction of duty.
Therefore, under the Cavalry, there are still a large number of children of the gentry who hold general local positions. These children of the gentry may commit acts that violate the Cavalry policy within a certain period of time, for money, favors, or for some other things.
For example, to give some people some convenience, or turn a blind eye when checking their vouchers, for example, even if the strange behavior of the red ball is obviously unable to cover Newton's coffin board, it can be regarded as invisible.
Such behavior is sometimes difficult to define. For example, you can neglect yourself, and the carelessness of a certain thing cannot prove how serious a sin it is. After all, people are not machines after all, and they always make mistakes. You can't just kill them no matter what the reason is. So who is willing to follow the cavalry?
But is it like today in the face of big troubles...
There is no allowance for any deviation. It is like you can ignore the small amount of money from the bricks and buy some enterprises and spray them all over, but you will definitely not tolerate betraying the country for its own interests.
If you can’t show your responsibility at critical moments, then will you still be able to wait for the New Year?
Pang Tong specifically told Wang Chang and Kan Ze to induce him, but in fact the purpose was to wait for more guys to jump out and wait for these people to hit the knife...
"Oh, many people will die..." Kan Ze sighed softly from the side.
Wang Chang glanced at Kan Ze, "What, are you still worried about these people?"
"I'm not talking about those worms, I'm talking about ordinary people..." Kan Ze looked at the black smoke rising in the distance, "These implicated people are always innocent?"
『…』 Wang Chang was silent for a moment, but shook his head, 『This kind of person...maybe he is not completely innocent...』
"Wen Shu's meaning is..." Kan Ze was a little puzzled.
Aren’t these people victims? How can they be said to be innocent?
Wang Chang looked at the bloody sunset in the sky and said slowly, "When I was guarding the mountain school, I often heard that the cavalry in Pingyang have many good deeds... For example, Pingyang Bookstore is a book written in front of the book, and the counter is behind the counter, and the students are allowed to read it, and they are never expelled... If there are any broken pages, they will be placed at the entrance of the store, and can be copied without charge..."
Kan Ze nodded. He also knew that he was also a long-term customer in Pingyang Bookstore back then. Sometimes he would hug books for most of the day. He never got scolded by the shopkeepers in the bookstore, and sometimes he could not even see the shopkeepers in the depths of the bookstore. He had to find someone deep in the bookstore.
"There are many books and many people, and the exchanges are complicated. However, I have never heard of any stealing books in Pingyang Bookstore..." Wang Chang said slowly, "Why? It's because people respect others, and they respect them... Pingyang Bookstore treats people with scholars, and they will repay them with scholars..."
"But in Chang'an..." Wang Chang sighed, "What's the matter? It's called a thief without telling me. Can stealing books be an elegant thing? What's wrong with it? Therefore, in Chang'an Bookstore, we follow each other and what can we do? Is this a fault in the bookstore? It's not, it's a human mistake!"
Kan Ze was silent.
Actually, what Wang Chang said was not wrong, but Wang Chang missed one thing. Even when he went to Pingyang Bookstore, most of them were students guarding the mountain school. These students were basically able to find their feet and could not escape if something happened. In Chang'an, there were a lot of people, and there were quite a lot of children from the gentry. It was impossible to follow every child of the gentry. Naturally, some people felt that even if they were misbehaving, they might not be caught and found at home...
Once this little goblin called lucky starts to come in front of him with his butt and his waist swaying, the greedy guy naturally drools and stares at him and follows him closely.
『Another, the food price is rising now...』 Wang Chang laughed twice, and there was disdain in his voice.『It is said that in Chang'an, there are many people who are greedy for money, who actually sell their own food! Even if they boast about what they have obtained, they can also sell their food. When the price of food is rising, they may regret it, be angry, or curse it... Haha, is this person who has no descendants?』
Some people in later generations thought that Confucius was talking about the person who made pottery figurines, but in fact he was just targeting this matter. When he saw that a large number of farmers had to waste their farming because they wanted to make pottery figurines for the king, Confucius sighed and said, "Don't just consider the future."
Wang Chang also used this sentence to illustrate those who did not think about themselves, only knew how to follow the crowd, were blinded by interests, and did not consider future issues, could not say the word "innocent".
The most important ability of human beings is to be rational, wise, able to think, and able to analyze right and wrong. However, if you lose these qualities and just blindly follow the crowd and go with the flow, and feel that the law does not blame the crowd, you can do something you dare not do on weekdays, or even know that something illegal is illegal, then can you still be considered innocent?
Just like this time the food price is rising, some families who purchased grain earlier felt profitable in the face of high grain prices, and then sold the grain they had bought at a high price. However, they didn't know that their behavior was actually helping those black hands who pushed up the price of grain. Then, when they found that the price of grain was getting higher and higher, their granary was empty, they completely forgot about Xinxinran when they sold it for profit, and began to accuse this and curse that, saying that they were an innocent victim...
If it weren't for these followers, even if Zuo Fengyi's big family members worked hard, they would not be able to quickly push the grain price of the Sanjiao Land to the present level. And if ordinary people were not involved, they would sell their original grain reserves for some immediate benefits, and these big family members would not dare to be so sure that their strategy would be successful.
These short-sighted people think that if they don’t sell, they will sell others. Wouldn’t they suffer losses? It is precisely because of this that the big players who hoard goods are becoming more and more confident, because they know that most people have no food and grass and must accept the prices they set. If these people have not sold their food and grass because of immediate interests, Zuo Fengyi’s big players will not be able to determine their price and will definitely be accepted.
Therefore, those who sell food and grass because the price of food and grass are actually accomplices for tigers to a certain extent. When tigers eat blood, they have some soup, which is not innocent.
There are also those who are very brave enough to be together. They think that since everyone does it, I have to do it. If others go to the line, I have to go to the line. If others take on the line, I will grab the garlic cloves...
『In addition…』 Wang Chang continued, 『The orders of the king were ordered to be repeatedly posted in the city, and people were sent to preach the country. They all said that if there was an unfair situation, the people could tell the inspectors and the soldiers could tell the hall... However, around Chang'an, among the three auxiliary servants, has Derun heard that in all counties, who complained about the inflated food prices and hinder the people?』
『This…』 Kan Ze was stunned for a moment, 『Are you feeling that the cavalry was not in Guanzhong, so it is useless to tell advice?』
Wang Chang shook his head and said, "This is also a mistake. As a landlord, the cavalry is in front of him and is in charge of government affairs. If the cavalry leaves, will he be lazy and lazy?"
Kan Ze nodded and said, "Wen Shu's words are deeply worthy of being cautious in solitude."
As the two talked, the sky gradually became darker, and the sunset in the sky gradually disappeared, and the darkness kept eroding everything around.
The night wind gradually rose, bringing a faint crying sound.
『Ah…』 Kan Ze sighed, 『Even so, I still feel that if ordinary people are usually obedient to the public and law, this time I am confused... I can be somewhat relieved...』
Wang Chang looked at Kan Ze, thought for a moment, nodded, "If this is the case, you can record it, or you will not be punished... but you should know that it is guilty and record it. If there is any re-offending, you will be punished more severely!"
"That's true." Kan Ze also agreed. Can you do bad things with tens of millions of reasons? It's understandable to be confused for a while, but you can't forgive it if you make mistakes again and again.
This time, Kan Ze was also secretly shocked. He only knew the changes of the sun and the moon in Mount Li, so he went down the mountain to report that the twenty-four solar terms had been re-compiled and approved the calendar, and encountered such a thing...
It is precisely because Kan Ze has been busy with the calendar and has no suspicion of participating in this change in grain prices that he has the opportunity to be the commander of this operation with Wang Chang. Moreover, according to Kan Ze's inference, this operation is not an end. Whether it is the cavalry or Pang Tong, it is obviously not a person who only takes one step and takes one step, so it is obvious that this action will cause more new changes and will affect more people.
『Here you come!』
While Kan Ze was thinking, Wang Chang suddenly spoke out.
There was another rapid sound of horse hooves in the distance, and a cavalry came in a hurry...
Chapter completed!
