Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 260 Mob
Although it's already midnight now, and it's time to wash up and go to bed long ago, but saving soldiers is like putting out a fire, who the hell can sleep at this time?Qin Hao, Li Tai, and Li Xiaogong hurriedly got on their horses before they even had time to straighten their clothes, and galloped towards Ninghai County at a starry night under the leadership of the visitors.

Since ancient times, mob incidents have been a top-level sensitive matter. If you touch your hands and bleed, it is a rebellion!

In a feudal society, if you have ten thousand legitimate reasons, as long as you dare to rebel, you will surely die. But in the same way, even if you have a million legitimate reasons, as long as there are disaster victims in your jurisdiction who rebel, you will lose your official title. The emperor is kind, eight out of ten must die with him.

"What's going on, why did you resist the demolition, where is Xu Jie?"

"General Xu is not in Yangzhou City at all. He has already gone to Ninghai County. Since the enclosure, General Xu has only slept for two hours a day, and he has been comforting the demolition people day and night. He is the number one when anything happens. The time has come, but this time I really didn’t expect it.”

Qin Hao naturally knew Xu Jie's hard work, but it's a pity that sometimes the yellow mud gets into his crotch, and it's either shit or shit, but now he doesn't care, and asked quickly: "Is there any grassroots officials corrupting the demolition funds? The people are violent? Are there any casualties?"

"Back to the lord, the little general Wang Fangyi has established a military law team to patrol the coastline day and night, and anyone along the coast is welcome to report. Whoever dares to embezzle the money for demolition will be punished on the spot, and whoever dares to covet such unconscionable money. As for the brutal law enforcement, we Yangzhou government soldiers are all from nearby villages, who can do such a thing like having a son without an ass hole?"

When Qin Hao heard that there was no such thing, Qin Hao's mind was relieved a little. At least Xu Jie's fate was saved, at least it was not a human subjective error.

"What's going on, tell me quickly."

Following the person's narration, Qin Hao finally figured out the ins and outs of the incident.

The land enclosure this time was relatively smooth. After all, the early Tang Dynasty was not as overpopulated as it was during the Kangxi period. In fact, after the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were many unowned lands and the population dropped sharply. Powerful, and at this time, there are large tracts of undeveloped land in the south, so there are not many people living along the coast, especially in places with high tides suitable for enclosing salt fields. Mainly, there are actually very few people who have lived there for generations. After Qin Hao spent so much money, most of the people are still willing to cooperate with the court.

You know, the demolition compensation given by Qin Hao can buy the same area of ​​land even in Guanzhong. This is simply the conscience of the industry in a feudal society. There are even people who kowtow in gratitude to build the archway of Shengsheng Temple.

However, some people have certain things that cannot be settled with money.

Our country has ruled the world with filial piety for thousands of years, and there has always been a saying that filial piety comes first, whether it is among the people or the nobles, unfilial piety is the biggest crime in the world, so this demolition of living people is quite easy , but dead people are really troublesome.

According to the custom, Chinese people pay attention to going into the soil for safety. Once they are in the soil, they must not disturb the ancestors. Therefore, digging people's ancestral graves is also the biggest enemy of the Chinese people. Qin Hao has tried his best to appease the people whose ancestral graves were dug up. Most of the good and fertile land donated by the Langya Wang family has been supplied to these dead people, but there are some who are sensible, but there are still some who are not. No, something happened this time.

The old man Geng is 57 this year. This is the age when he is about to know his destiny in the feudal society. Hearing that the imperial court wants to expropriate their family’s cultivated land, he has no dissatisfaction at all. Is there any king in the world? The imperial court wants your land to return you money , this is already the Lord's reign, there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.

But those soldiers not only wanted his fields but also wanted to move his ancestral grave, so they blew up the old man Geng at once. After waiting for a long time, the soldiers finally got impatient and went up to pull him.

But as soon as this person got older, his health would fail. After crying for a long time, the old man Geng was already crying, and when the autumn wind blew, his body was almost exhausted. When the two soldiers pulled him, he When he got excited again, he went to accompany his own parents with a click.

Now the two soldiers were dumbfounded, at a loss for a while, but the old man Geng's son, Geng Xiaohan, quit when he saw this. While the two soldiers were in a daze, he took out a dagger and stabbed one of them to death.

Mansion soldiers, usually all the people assigned to a team are from the village. The surviving mansion soldier became anxious when he saw that his companion was killed, and when he saw that little man Geng was about to stab himself like a madman, he drew out his knife again in a hurry Kill Geng Xiaohan.

This is the time to poke a hornet's nest. This village is called Gengjia Village. You can tell from the name that most of the people here are relatives. The people in the early Tang Dynasty all experienced the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty. How can there be a real one? Good stubble, the whole village rioted immediately, and the living soldiers ran away overnight.

This is not the first time something like this has happened, and it is almost inevitable. After Xu Jie heard the news, he took Wang Fangyi to Gengjia Village overnight to deal with the accident in person. Anyway, people die like lights out. In other words, as long as I sincerely apologize and give the whole village a little more for the demolition, the matter will probably be reduced to a small one in all likelihood.

But unfortunately, he finally met a tiger when he went to Deshan Duo, and this time he capsized in the gutter.

At this time, it has been more than half a month since the start of the field enclosure. In the past half month, it is inevitable that some people have heard the wind, knowing that their land is not only a dilapidated but a precious salt field, but after all, the Chinese people are still They are more honest, and besides, the imperial court does not allow smuggling of salt, otherwise they will be killed, so the vast majority of people have not made any mistakes.

But the incident in Gengjia Village was accidentally exaggerated.

In the beginning, one village in Gengjia Village made a fuss about the old man Geng’s family, but later all villages from ten miles and eight villages followed suit, because they may not know what it means to not blame the public, but they basically understand the meaning, and those who make a fuss In this village, they have to give a lot more when they distribute money and land.

The riots in their ten miles and eight villages have also ignited the greed of other surrounding villages. They are also all precious lumps. Why can they make trouble and we can't?Since the land under our feet is a treasure field, why don't we let ourselves dry the salt?Even if we don't let us dry the salt ourselves, maybe we can't follow the main points.

So, when Xu Jie and the others arrived, the riot had changed from a village to a county, and if it was not handled properly, it was treason, so they hurriedly sent people to Yangzhou to invite Qin Hao and the three of them.
