Dingxianglou is a restaurant in Heyang City that is famous for its donkey meat.
The donkey meat with secret sauce in the restaurant is famous throughout Heyang City.
Before the Liu family settled in Heyang, the business of Dingxiang House was very good. When it was time for dinner, if you didn't come in advance, you would often not be able to get a seat.
Except for a few private rooms reserved for regular customers, other people who don't come often to eat will have to wait in line outside the building later.
But since the Liu family settled in Heyang, the business of Dingxiang House has begun to deteriorate day by day. Now, in just more than ten days, it has become desolate and the business is bleak.
The fact that one day is worse than the other is definitely not a rhetorical statement, but a real pointer. It is true that every day's business is much worse than the previous day!
The Liu family's plundering of Heyang City affected every aspect of Heyang City.
The economic system is a very complex global concept. People in this era have no relevant awareness, but Jiang Fan understands it very well.
A single move affects the whole body. Many times, seemingly inconspicuous small changes may have serious consequences.
What's more, the Liu family plundered so extensively.
Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies. This is the principle that applies to a city or a pond.
It was dinner time, and the lobby of Dingxiang Building could accommodate more than a dozen tables for dining at the same time, but only three tables of regular customers were seated in total.
These three tables of regular customers were leaning against each other, chatting in low voices while eating donkey meat.
"Have you heard? Those bastards of the Liu family are planning to continue to raise taxes. This time they are going to add some bullshit head tax. They will be charged according to the number of people in each household. This will really make it difficult for us to survive."
One diner said angrily.
"Keep your voice down. If those soldiers and gangsters wandering the streets hear it, they will be taken to the military camp and tortured. If you don't come up with the life money to redeem it, you will definitely be beaten to death in there!
Wasn’t Wang Laoliu, the guy next door, just taken back because he muttered a few too many words? The family really didn’t have any money, so he never came back.”
Another diner at the same table quickly spoke up to persuade him.
"Hey, these days are becoming more and more unbearable. God has no eyes. Why can't Jiang Chengwei, a good official, always govern Heyang? How easy was our life before Mrs. Liu came? Although we have food
The price is a bit high, but there's nothing we can do about it. The drought has been too long, so it would be nice to have food to eat. But what about now? Not to mention the soaring food prices, it's hard to even buy them. I heard that the food in the city is very poor.
Some of them were forcibly recruited by the garrison brought by the Liu family, which is simply unreasonable!"
The aggrieved diners said helplessly.
"Boy, I heard a new news. It seems that all the businessmen in Heyang gathered together at Qian's house to discuss how to invite Lieutenant Jiang Cheng out again to govern our Heyang."
A diner at the next table suddenly said mysteriously.
"Really? How to invite them? If Liu's people don't leave, Captain Jiang Cheng can't do anything."
"That's not possible. The world is in such chaos now. The emperor has been put under house arrest by aristocratic clans. The clans in various places say they want to clear the emperor, but in fact they are not all self-proclaimed kings. If Jiang Chengwei can really be ruthless, why can't he lead
Can we, Heyang, directly become self-reliant?"
"Hush! How dare you say that! This is rebellion! Lieutenant Jiang Cheng doesn't want to live anymore?"
"I don't know whether Lieutenant Jiang Cheng wants to live or not. I only know that if we let Liu's people continue to mess with us like this, we will definitely not even want to live! Shopkeeper Sun, don't you think so?"
A diner saw the shopkeeper of Dingxianglou approaching and did not shy away from it. It was obvious that the shopkeeper and they were brothers in the same battle.
The shopkeeper of Dingxiang Tower is named Sun Youfu. Although he is timid, he is a middle-aged man with a heart of justice.
After hearing what this diner said, Sun Youfu lowered his voice and said: "I also participated in the Qian family's gathering yesterday. If you want to say that this Qian member is indeed a courageous person, let me tell you, the Liu family
The good days are not far away!"
"Oh? What's the good news? Shopkeeper Sun tells us so that everyone can be happy together!"
Several diners suddenly became energetic.
"I'm not sure about the specifics, but at yesterday's meeting, everyone was very sure that if the Liu family continues to behave like this, then all of us in Heyang City will definitely not be able to survive. So Qian Yuanwai won everyone present.
With the shopkeeper’s approval, we will represent all the traders in Heyang to ask Jiang Chengwei for orders!”
As Sun Youfu spoke, he peeked outside the store. After confirming that there were no outsiders, he continued in a low voice: "I really let you guys talk about the content of the request. I just want Lieutenant Jiang Cheng to rebel directly. When the time comes, we will
All the traders in Heyang will give their full support! Whatever Jiang Chengwei needs! We will give him whatever he needs! As long as Jiang Chengwei is willing to come out!"
"Ah?! Is it true? Shopkeeper Sun, we can't talk nonsense about this. If this gets out, I'm afraid it will bring trouble to Lieutenant Jiang Cheng."
One diner said with a shocked look on his face.
"Why are you lying to you? What Qian Yuanwai means is that Lieutenant Jiang Cheng will definitely not do such a thing for his own sake. After all, judging from all the actions taken by Lieutenant Jiang Cheng when he was in power, Lieutenant Jiang Cheng is really a worthy person.
He is a selfless person, otherwise, we would not have received so many benefits in the past few months since he has been in power."
Sun Youfu rolled his eyes and continued: "So, if you want Captain Jiang Cheng to come out, not only us businessmen, but all the people in Heyang City must also have corresponding ideas. Only then can Jiang Cheng be allowed to come out."
Lieutenant, regardless of his own safety, did that treasonous and unethical thing for the sake of our entire Heyang."
These words were unanimously agreed by several diners.
In the minds of the people of Heyang, the remarkable changes in Heyang City in the past few months have really put Jiang Fan on the altar!
"But...even if we have the support of the whole city, Lieutenant Jiang Cheng is willing to rebel for us...We in Heyang don't have any soldiers? If we don't have soldiers, we are no match for Liu's garrison, right? What's more, the Liu's
The clan in Handong County is the Tu Emperor, and its real strength is much stronger than the garrison in Heyang, right?"
After chatting for a while, a diner suddenly thought of the most important question and couldn't help but ask.
"Hey, have you forgotten the army that besieged Prince Wu's Mansion? And didn't Lieutenant Jiang Cheng form a militia before to solve the problem of refugees? I have a relative who came to seek refuge, so he joined the militia. According to
My relative said that Captain Jiang Cheng’s ability to train troops is even better than his ability to govern Heyang! The strength of the militia is at least as good as ten of our elite troops in the Zhou Dynasty!”
"Pfft? Are you kidding me?"
"Absolutely true! Not a lie!"
"So, if Jiang Chengwei is really willing to start a rebellion, he really has a lot to do?"
"Absolutely!"
"No, I'll contact my neighbors when I get back and see if I can write a book for all people! Ask Lieutenant Jiang Cheng to rebel for the people!"
