Chapter 862 A famous wedding

"The Taiwan government has recently ordered citizens to declare their assets. How should they declare their assets? And what should they declare?"

Since a month ago, written notices from the Taifu government have been posted at Xiangyang's city gates and in various shops, including the Qiaojin ferry on Yigan Road outside the city. There are also many prefecture and county government officials traveling in groups to spread the notices among villages and towns.

.

For a time, the people in the entire area around Xiangyang City knew that such a decree was being implemented, but their understanding of the specific content of the decree was still somewhat vague. After all, this was something that the previous Yongzhou Prefectural Government could not cover. People

It's still a bit difficult to understand.

"The declaration of scholars and people is divided into two piles, one is Dingkou, and the other is property. The number of men and women in the household, as well as the number of servants, slaves, oxen, horses, and livestock, totals one registration. When Xiangyang City moves south in the coming year, it will be

With this registration number, I will be granted land and settle in a new home."

Officials were also arranged near the city gates to explain the content of the order to the scholars and people who still did not understand the provisions of the order: "As for property, it means how much property your family has, how spacious the house is, how many mulberry trees there are,

No matter how much land there is, all these properties that cannot be moved together can be declared and registered under the registration. After moving to the new city, you can use this to declare compensation to the government!"

There were a large number of scholars and people who came to inquire, and their identities were also different.

Some poor tenants focused on granting land. After hearing the explanation from the government official, they couldn't help but ask again and again: "Excuse me, Mr. Prefect, how much land is granted per ding? Women also have land granted? The land they receive is the land granted.

My own? No more officials will come to requisition it? No more bandits will come to rob it?"

There are also some wealthy households in the countryside who have little assets. They are not very interested in granting land, and their focus is on moving the city: "Why move the city? Aren't the mountains and rivers here in Xiangyang beautiful? Our ancestors built the city here, and since then

There is wisdom and truth in it, so why should a written order bother so many people and abandon their hometown and go to make a living elsewhere?"

As for those powerful families with higher social status, they have higher-level sources of information and naturally do not need to gather in the market to inquire about information.

But this privilege cannot bring them any happiness or security now. Because they have learned more, they feel more anxious and pessimistic, and they are more eager to find a way to deal with it.

Because they undoubtedly control the most in terms of property and people in the village. If they hide it and do not report it, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses and lose their vitality when they move to a new city next year. But if they report it truthfully, they will cover a large number of people and people.

The facts of the land will be completely exposed again, and there will be no cover up. If the Taiwan government wants to take any coercive measures against them, they will be unable to resist.

In the current situation, it's really a knife to raise one's head, and it's a knife to shrink one's head, leaving people with no choice. Moreover, it is said that the Liu clan of Hedong, who had just returned home not long ago, was directly killed by the Taifu clan because they resisted this order.

He was detained and his life and death are unknown to this day.

"Brother Cai Shi, please stay, please stay! I have been waiting here for many days just to invite you to gather together and listen to the teachings!"

Cai Dabao is one of the few former subordinates of King Liang who still remains in Daxingtai, Shannan Road. Many people in Xiangyang who were worried about the future were guarding the gate of Taifu. When they saw Cai Dabao appearing inside the gate, they

Everyone rushed forward to ask about the inside story and whether there would be room for changes after the decree was implemented.

Nowadays, Cai Dabao has gradually become familiar with the atmosphere and rhythm of Tai Mansion. Naturally, he does not dare to mingle with these old acquaintances in public. Seeing the situation outside the manor, he feels that it is better to stay on duty today, so

Then he walked towards the house again.

When everyone outside the mansion saw Cai Dabao like this, they were all disappointed. Some people couldn't help crying sadly: "Brother Cai is now the chief minister of the Taifu, and so and so are all country men, but before that, so and so

He and his brother are both former subordinates of His Royal Highness the Prince of Liang! The old master lost his position, and so and so can hardly escape the blame. Now I can only ask Brother Cai to express his feelings for the past and give him some good advice, but this is not possible? Is this the case for the King of Taiyuan?

unreasonable?"

After Cai Dabao heard this, he paused again, turned around and looked at everyone and said: "You don't need to threaten me with your old feelings. The current government of Taiwan is indeed very different from previous years. You and I have seen the decrees and writings outside.

, very different from what I have seen.

The King of Taiyuan is one of the most famous ministers and generals in the world. His talent in governing affairs is rarely seen in the world, and his foresight is far beyond the vision of a certain class of ordinary people. Now that this decree is implemented, the benevolent government he has implemented must be beyond our expectations.

As long as you abide by the government's decrees, you can live in peace and worry-free. Isn't this a beautiful scenery that you dare not even dream about in the past? Ask me now, I can teach people only to obey the law and abide by the law, and get these four words.

If you are still unable to live in peace, you can report your grievances to me, even if I risk my life, I will appeal to the king for you!"

After saying this, Cai Dabao bowed deeply to everyone outside the mansion, then turned around and returned to the Taifu, ignoring the calls of the old people behind him.

Not only Cai Dabao, but other former Xiangyang or Jiangling vassals who are still serving in the Taiwan government have also suffered more or less similar harassment. However, like Cai Dabao, they either remained silent or remained silent.

is giving a similar response.

It’s not that after they entered the Taiwan government, they changed from their old ways, became disowned, and abandoned all their past interpersonal relationships, but because they themselves were not involved in the secrets of the Taiwan government, and they also couldn’t understand the reasons behind the implementation of these decrees.

Logic. Instead of blindly giving advice and misleading others and yourself, it is better to simply remain silent.

After all, even if they are not in charge of secrets, they can still feel through the personnel atmosphere of the Taifu that the style of doing things in the Taifu is very different from that of the Liangwang Military Mansion or the Jiangling Court in previous years. Even if they themselves are not paying attention, they may lag behind the Taifu.

The procedures for doing things are even more incapable of taking care of others.

These local powerful people in Xiangyang repeatedly encountered obstacles when they inquired about the inside story, but they still refused to give up. After all, their lives and property safety were at stake. However, the personnel culture of the Tai government, which was very different from that of Jiuliang, also made them feel helpless and helpless.

Since all the old acquaintances here in Taifu were useless, they worked hard to improve their personnel affairs elsewhere. After some thought, another target person soon came into their sight.

The Hanshui Pier located on the west side of the Xiangyang Embankment is very busy with various passenger and cargo ships constantly coming and going, and it is especially lively today.

Starting early in the morning, carriages and horses from various families in Xiangyang gathered here, and soon the pier was completely occupied, and even the normal flow of people and goods was greatly affected. From early morning to morning, these people could not board the pier.

The ship did not leave, so the affected people were naturally very dissatisfied, but seeing those powerful slaves, they could only endure this dissatisfaction.

In the afternoon, an official ship flying the Xingzhou flag slowly docked. The group of people on the shore who had been waiting for a long time finally started to move. Once the official ship stopped, no one on the ship even showed up.

They shouted loudly and enthusiastically: "Welcome Xi Shijun to return home!"

The passengers on board were Xingzhou Governor Xi Gu and his subordinates. When Xi Gu walked out of the cabin and saw the lively welcoming scene on the pier, he couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, he waved to the welcoming crowd with a smile on his face.

Say hello.

"I've been away from home for a long time, but I didn't expect that the locals still treat me with such affection. I'm really flattered! The local accent is so warm and touching."

After getting off the boat, Xi Gu first exchanged greetings with a few relatives, friends and village representatives standing at the front, and then said with an apologetic expression: "Everyone is so warmly welcoming, and I should be honest with you."

Let's all have a drink and say goodbye. But this time when we return home, in addition to going to the government to report on our work, there is also a family matter that needs to be dealt with urgently. The youngest daughter of the family has reached the age of marriage, and a good matchmaker happened to ask recently, so I still want to have a good match.

You have to go home to deal with it. On the auspicious day, a feast will be prepared at the door to entertain relatives and friends, and then you can have a good time!"

When everyone heard this, no matter how anxious they were, they couldn't stop Xi Gu from going home to marry his daughter. So they had no choice but to disperse separately, planning to prepare some gifts and visit Xi Gu for advice on the day when he married his daughter.

The person Xi Gu's daughter is going to marry is Quan Xu, Li Tai's general. Although Quan Xu also expressed his hope to marry the Liu family before, after what happened to Li Ya, it would be awkward to marry him again. And that

The performance of the Liu family in Hedong was really not pleasing to the eye, and Quan Xu did not want to marry such a family again.

Quan Xu himself was Li Tai's confidant Yuan Cong, and he had previously made an advance in the Battle of Jiangling. Since he had expressed his desire for a mate, Li Tai certainly could not let the matter end without any problem. He looked around Xiangyang Shiliu, and added

After visiting various families to provide information and seeking Quan Xu's opinions, the Lady Shang chose Xi Gu's family.

Xi Gu also took the initiative to join the army before, and has been serving as the governor of Xingzhou since then. He is relatively familiar with the personnel of the Taiyuan government. He learned that the prince of Taiyuan was acting as a matchmaker, and the person he was looking for was a young meritorious man from the Taiyuan government. Of course, he was not satisfied with this.

Very satisfied. Both parties hit it off immediately and soon started the ceremony process.

Li Tai intended to make this marriage a model, so he also arranged for the Taipei government to provide some personnel assistance to prepare for the wedding, and soon the marriage became the focus of the city's attention. Xiangyang Lao Qian and

The marriage of the new wealthy people in the Taiwanese government is naturally particularly attracting attention in Xiangyang's current sensitive atmosphere due to the implementation of government decrees.

Xiangyang Shiliu paid close attention to this matter, regardless of whether he was a relative or a friend of the two families. Since the two families were already in love with each other, and there had been frequent wars in recent years, everything was kept simple. Therefore, after less than ten days of preparation, the wedding was official.

held.

Mr. Anding Xi is a well-known person in Xiangyang, with many relatives and friends. Coupled with this special moment, the wedding day was naturally full of congratulators and the scene was great.

People who came to celebrate the occasion soon discovered that corresponding to this grand occasion, the dowry prepared by Xi Gu for his daughter was also extremely generous, and there was a strong impression that he would spend his whole family to match it!

I'm going to post a post today. I'll update one chapter first, and there will be two chapters later...
