Chapter 131 Politics requires struggle

Come to think of it, if these people were really afraid of the imperial power and Li Zhi had followed through, there would have been no wealthy families anymore.

It has to be said that Gentle definitely surpasses Yun Chu, a shepherd boy, in her understanding of wealthy families.

For a long time, the imperial power has not been sent to the countryside, and has cultivated these wealthy families into prince-like existences.

Being a proud prince in white clothes is the highest spiritual state pursued by the children of aristocratic families.

Although the white clothes refer to status, Yunchu is willing to compare it to clothes, so the white clothes are made of white silk. Only the disciples wearing such clothes can face the princes with wine in the wind and white clothes fluttering.

He criticized Fang Qiu without fear and discussed the world.

As for people who actually wear white coarse cloth that has not been dyed with paint, if they made such a gesture regardless of the occasion, they would have been beheaded long ago.

Many times, people's arrogance is supported by foundation...

Yunchu was very proud now. He ordered the county officials to take over the land deeds from the people of Da'anfang.

No extra money was given to the people, but new housing was guaranteed to be allocated at one and a half times the original land area.

When accepting the land deeds from the common people, it was clearly stated that it was also a two-story pavilion, but the pavilions they received were no longer separate pavilions, but rows of two-story buildings connected together.

This is a solution that Yun Chu came up with after asking officials to make careful calculations. It can be regarded as benefiting the people to the greatest extent.

The reason why the house was transformed from a tube building into a two-story house was entirely because the drawings of the warehouse were released and were snatched away by merchants who had followed Yun Chu and participated in the renovation market a long time ago.

Chang'an County took over Dunhuafang, and Di Renjie has already stationed in Dunhuafang and started catching ghosts. There are few people living here. Building houses directly on the vacant land can solve the problem of countless Chang'an people who have become rich and want to live in the city.

Problems faced by farmers in the county.

As for Qinglongfang, it was jointly taken over by Chang'an and Wannian counties...

No one in Wannian County raised any objections to this arrangement, but their displeasure had been expressed in a subtle way.

That means everyone is working hard.

I worked harder than before, but there was no smile on my face.

Yun Chu understood their feelings very well. After all, they came to be officials to be superiors and to live a good life. They definitely did not want a group of poor people to live a good life at the expense of their own interests.

Due to the glorious deeds of the county magistrate in the past, they would rather believe that this is another conspiracy by the magistrate, and that the current loss is an arrangement for greater gains in the future.

Therefore, they thought that as long as they worked hard enough, they would be able to make the county official's plan succeed.

At this time, two poems began to be widely circulated in the market - Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

These two lines of poetry are very boring. They don't have any meaning without saying it directly. At first, people just took it as a jingle and joking.

Later, when more and more stories about the Cui family, the Zheng family, the Liu family and other wealthy families mistreating their servants and tenant farmers came out, these two lines of poems became labeled - belonging to the Cui family, Zheng family,

The Liu family and other wealthy families.

For thousands of years, these people have never seen anything, and they have plenty of means to deal with these little rumors.

As a result, various poems with different styles and magnificent features appeared on the market.

These poems are either high-pitched, or affectionate, or like orchids in an empty valley, or as indifferent as water.

In short, after these things came out, they quickly spread throughout Chang'an, making paper expensive in Chang'an for a while.

Naturally, crude poems like "The wine and meat in Zhumen stink, and the bones on the road are frozen to death" were quickly defeated, and no one paid attention to them anymore.

The eighth day of the fifth lunar month was the day when Naha was enthroned at the White Horse Temple in Luoyang. On the first day of the fifth lunar month, Yunchu took his whole family in a carriage and went to Luoyang in a mighty manner under the protection of his family generals.

Also going to Luoyang to watch the ceremony for Naha were Wen Wenwen and Di Renjie, but Zhong Kui refused to go even to death.

This is the first time Yu Xiurong and the others have traveled far away, but the most excited ones are the children Li Si, Yun Jin, and Yun Jin.

Just after the Yun family's motorcade passed Baqiao, a novel performance model began to appear in Fangshizi, the city with the most poor people in Chang'an.

The name is - "White-Haired Girl".

This is a trick that has never been done before. A group of people on a stage told a story that is not unfamiliar to the poor people of Chang'an in a singing method that is closest to the people of Chang'an.

A tenant named Yang Bailao accidentally owed rent to a wealthy family. During the Chinese New Year, thugs came to collect the debt. Poor Yang Bailao was unable to repay the debt, so the thugs snatched Yang Bailao's daughter Xi Niang to pay off the debt. Poor Yang Bailao was beaten.

After a meal, he drank some tofu brine and died on a snowy night...

Poor Xi Niang arrived at a wealthy family and was bullied by the young master of the wealthy family.

When I came here, the poor people of the Tang Dynasty could still accept it. Some people thought that Yang Bailao was too small-minded, and Xiniang would be able to live a good life in the future.

As a result, Xi Niang was mistreated and finally escaped and hid in a cave with white hair all over her body...

This made the people watching the trick a little bit intolerable.

The singer who plays Xi Niang is very beautiful, and the singer who appears in white clothes and white hair at the end is even more beautiful, and the way she holds a stone and hits the young master of a wealthy family is even more joyful...

As a result, some people actually picked up stones from the ground and threw them at the actors on the stage.

Naturally, Yunchu didn't know about this matter, nor did Wen Wenjie. After Di Renjie captured a dozen living people pretending to be ghosts, he didn't know anything about it either, because they were all on their way to Luoyang.

"Whether creating confrontation in this way is good or bad is not clear yet, but in the long run, there are still problems.

I'm very worried that this time they are against a wealthy family, and next time they may be against the imperial court."

Di Renjie sat on the carriage and said to Yun Chu worriedly.

Wen Wen shook his head and said: "If we don't stir up the antagonism, we won't be able to gain the support of the people while squeezing the wealthy families."

Di Renjie looked at Yun Chu and said, "Why don't you write a poem in response to the poems of those scholars this time? I think that as long as you write a world-famous poem, you can probably suppress them speechless."

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "What is my identity?"

Di Renjie said: "Official!"

Yunchu said again: "Do you think the people will think that I am with them, or with those scholars?"

Di Renjie said: "You all write poems..."

"Then it's over."

Wen Wenwen didn't take Di Renjie's doubts to heart at all. She patted Yunchu on the shoulder and said, "If a woman doesn't see the sun or eat salt for a long time, will she really grow white hair?"

Yun Chu sneered and said, "You can try it."

Wen Wen shook his head and said: "It's better not to try it, it will harm Tianhe."

Di Renjie said: "There are more miserable things in this world than this, but the ghost I caught this time is really scarier than the ghost.

Can you imagine that if a person pretends to be a ghost at night, he can humiliate his wife and daughter in front of his husband, father and brother?

The most terrible thing is that such evil things happen all the time. Many people in Dunhuafang have been harmed by evil spirits, but no one is willing to report it to the government. It is even secret to the extent that even the bad people don't know about it.

Damn it, even the job of being a ghost has been passed down to the third generation."

Yun Chu said: "Let's kill all the people involved in the fall."

"Why wait until the Autumn Judgment? I remember that heinous people should be sentenced to execution."

Yun Chu sniffed and said, "It was requested by Yan Jiu and the others. He always said that he has not done anything for many years and his skills are rusty. He also wants to bring out a few more apprentices for us to use."

Thinking of Yan Jiu's appearance in the dungeon, Di Renjie and Wen Wen no longer had any objections to Yun Chu's sentence.

"I just want to know what will happen to the men in Dunhuafang who watched their wives and daughters being humiliated by those who pretended to be demons."

Di Renjie replied: "A butcher who was said to be worried about ghosts committed suicide."

Wen Wen asked strangely: "Isn't he said to be worried about ghosts? How come he was harmed by a ghost and harmed his family?"

Di Renjie said: "You don't know something. If you don't stop the demon, the demon will only harm one person. If you ruin the good deeds of the demon, the demon will harm the whole family."

The butcher endured it for the sake of his family's safety. After all, when his wife came back, she said she had been suppressed by a ghost and her reputation was intact.

Think about it, the butcher just thinks that his wife is having an erotic dream, and there is no need to fight for such a trivial matter."

Wen Wenhe smiled and said to Yun Chu: "What does this story tell us?"

Yun Chu said indifferently: "I can't bear the oppression. Once I endure it for a long time, I really turn myself into a tortoise."

After saying that, he leaned out from the carriage, lifted Li Si in on the horse, flicked the child on the forehead and said, "Who allowed you to secretly ride a horse?"

Li Si took the opportunity to cling to Yun Chu's neck and said coquettishly: "I'm just going to ride for a little while. Sister Naha had a horse when she was younger than me, and I want it too."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "When Naha could walk, she rode a ewe without horns. When she got older, she held the horns and rode a ram. Later she started riding a cow, and finally she rode a horse. She was more stable riding a horse than walking.

Didn’t you say you wanted to marry a talented man in the future? Then don’t imitate her."

Li Si pouted and said, "How can a daughter of the Tang Dynasty not know how to ride a horse?"

Yun Chu sneered and said, "Then you are allowed to ride all the way to Luoyang."

Li Si shouted: "No!"

After saying this, he jumped out of the slowly moving carriage. Apart from dressing up, this child was always enthusiastic about anything she did. Even though she liked riding horses at the moment, when she was really asked to ride a horse, she did it instead.

Can't stand it.

The official road from Chang'an to Luoyang is not only wide, but also very flat. After all, the emperor just walked this road.

Yunchu and his party set out from Chang'an on the first day of May. After walking for seven days, they finally arrived in Luoyang the day before Naha's enthronement ceremony.

They did not enter Luoyang City, but went straight to the White Horse Temple to stay.

As a result, there were a cloud of monks and a rain of nuns in the White Horse Temple. Before they could get close to the White Horse Temple, the carriage of their group was blocked by the monks and nuns who came to watch the ceremony.

Fortunately, the prince, who had returned to Luoyang ahead of them, arranged accommodation for them at the inn outside the White Horse Temple, and they settled down.

In the evening, Yunchu stood in front of Luoyang City, looking at the Luoyang City Wall that was more than three feet high, and said to Wen Wenwen and Di Renjie: "This is the true image of an emperor."

See you tomorrow,
