Chapter 395 Three years of sewing and mending
Days are slowly passing by, and now it is only two days away from February.
All the environments that can be seen around Jiangzhou City are slowly showing the breath of spring: dry and active.
In addition to Gao Fangping, many people in the city have already changed into thick cotton jackets and put on their usual regular clothes. This is not because they are not afraid of the cold, but they should be reluctant to wear them.
These days, Gao Fangping has been visiting and observing with Liang Hongying. The people of Jiangzhou are too different from Tokyo. Many people's expressions seem tucked and their attitudes seem restrained. The whole street market is quiet and not many people speak.
The so-called three years of the new year, three years of old year, and three years of sewing and repairing.
When he arrived in Jiangzhou, Gao Fangping observed that the patches on the cotton jackets of ordinary people were very diverse. The temperature was still cold, and most of them had already replaced them. Some people said that this was because they wanted to wear cotton jackets for three more years, because natural phenomena made them very worried about the cold next year.
They think that once the only cotton jacket is broken, they may not be able to afford it and will not be able to face the cold winter ahead.
Gao Fangping has never experienced such behavior, so this is Liang Hongying's judgment. She said that there are many miserable people in the folk who don't have much clothes at home, and they are even more reluctant to wear good clothes, so they only wear them during the Chinese New Year. In some people's families, they only have one or two sets of clothes that are barely decent, and basically whoever goes out wears them is usually placed.
I don’t know if I don’t come, but I’m shocked when I come. This is the scene of a prosperous hometown like Jiangnan and the largest grain tax land in the dynasty.
The Cai Party officials' hands covered the sky, and the previous ones were sucked by a big ten-money money, almost sucking all their bones. Now, they are facing the expiration of the tax-free and service-free policy.
At that time, Zhao Ji only agreed to exempt one year of taxes, which was the first year of Daguan when Cai Jing resumed prime minister last year. This year's tax resumption, so this year is a big threshold for the southeast region. If one is not done well, Fang La's Ming Cult forces will expand more than ten times within a few months.
In addition to gathering crowds, the horror of religion will provide believers with an invisible thought. In this case, once some religious people are armed, they will be the real disaster.
Why not be too urgent if you are the same root?
This is what this term refers to. Armed religious fanatics will not actually harm soldiers. Gao Fangping said that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were smart. Officials and soldiers were really the least likely to die and had the strongest risk resistance group of hooligans. They could not beat them and they would run faster than thieves without training.
The result was that the miserable people in the occupied areas were persecuted by means three times stronger than the soldiers and bandits of the court. Officials and soldiers would not be sad, let alone the people rebelled. Even if the Jin soldiers went south and half of the country fell, the emperor would still enjoy the capital, and officials would encounter officials in another place. After the soldiers changed their places, they would still eat imperial grain.
So what about the common people?
The sentence "I would rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled person" is about this situation. In any form, the suffering people can only be more miserable and will not become better.
In my heart, Gao Fangping really doesn't believe that people like Fang Latianhu will be gentler than those of Wang and Zhu Xie when exploited.
When thinking about this all the way, Gao Fangping felt that his thinking gradually became clearer, and the key was the key.
In the battle of Chenliu, in the battle of Yuncheng, and in the battle of Gaotang. In these three battles with bandits, one thing that has been summarized in common is that the equipment of those grassroots thieves is very worrying, with weapons, but not many, and most of them are sticks and farm tools.
Thinking of this, Gao Fangping felt that he had taken it for granted before. Lao Chang from Mengzhou and Lao Pei from Daming County should make some sense that they are so keen on attacking black blacksmiths.
Of course, it does not mean that Gao Fangping now recognizes their policy of cracking down on black blacksmiths. The so-called overcorrection, if the crackdown is too strict, the harm will be great, which will lead to the lack of creative vitality among the people. In fact, the technical and technological technology that led the Song Dynasty was gradually formed by relying on such extensive indulgence. This is a bit similar to Liu Bang's idea of "governing by doing nothing".
Of course, Lao Liu took the initiative, while the Song Dynasty was passively formed because of the lazy government and cowardly government.
Gao Fangping’s proposition is not to indulge in it, nor to control it too much. There needs to be a balance point, which is to establish a mechanism to encourage the development of metallurgy but to monitor the government.
Unfortunately, Gao Fangping cannot control these things on the side of the country's law. Once there is no relevant national law, Gao Fangping can mess around under his own rule, but it cannot affect others' mess around.
For example, Gao Fangping did not have the right to take charge of the government in Jiangzhou, but if there was a national law, Gao Fangping could force Cai Shu to enforce it. However, there is no law to follow, and Gao Fangping could not take charge of the government. So what to do depends on his happiness in Cai.
"The whole Jiangnan form is extremely serious. I always have a bad premonition, and even feel frightened when I sleep." While thinking about these, Gao Fangping murmured to himself: "As a control freak, if you don't control these in your hands, the people in Jiangzhou are so strange. If you don't control the source of weapons, I always feel that something is wrong here."
Yan Qing said: "Why do you think so much? When will you go to see Brother Song Jiang?"
Gao Fangping said: "If you don't understand these, don't be blind **What can I do if I go and see them now? Did I even order him to let him go? What should I do if Cai Shu doesn't let me see you? If I don't let Song Jiang go, I don't know what to say just to meet you. Do you think it's worth it to fight with Cai Shu once?"
"You have to calculate everything. Can you calculate the morality and emotional issues of being a human being?" Yan Qing said unconvincedly.
Gao Fangping laughed and said, "The morality in your mouth is a false proposition. Your buddy Song Jiang stabbed a woman with one knife. After coming to Jiangzhou, Hubao Yi's halo opened, your other buddy Dai Zong released the murderer out of prison, and then drank high in the restaurant and became drunk and crazy. For this reason, he was caught and locked up again. This is called morality. Yan Qing, you bad boy, are careful. If you think you stab someone someone in a disagreement, you should be drunk and crazy in the restaurant and be locked up sooner or later."
Lin Chong said awkwardly: "Sir, you're thinking too much. Yan Xiaoyi didn't mean that."
Liang Hongying said: "All of you think too much, and your husband is not what you think. He must have a reason to do things, and he has his judgment."
Liang Hongying reminded everyone inadvertently, so everyone was speechless and reacted. With the treacherous oil-refining style of the Great Demon King, he would use every incident that could be exploited very vulgarly. It seems that the fat man's route was arranged by the Great Demon King early in the morning.
Everyone feels relieved when they think about it this way, including Yan Xiaoyi. He thinks that although the Great Demon King is vulgar, he will not really kill Brother Song Jiang. If Brother Song is really killed by him, it may mean that Song Jiang has an unknown side and a reason to deserve it.
Duan Jin stopped the horse thief. In order to save him, the great devil gave in to Pei Yancheng in terms of interests. This is a fact, and everyone saw it.
"Han Shizhong." Gao Fangping suddenly said.
"The last one will be there." Xiao Han left the line and knelt halfway.
Lin Chong's apprentice has the highest chance of being ordered by generals recently, so clinical practice is very proud to caress his short beard and nods frequently.
Gao Fangping said: "For the past few days, I have been paying attention to the criminal prison records in Jiangzhou. The result is that Jiangzhou was arrested with very few black smiths, which is obviously different from Tokyo, Mengzhou and a large county at that time. In other words, this is extremely abnormal. You are young and have a small official position, and you are not noticeable. Take a few people to put on civilian uniforms and scattered in the market to inquire about the news. I want to know how many black smiths in Jiangzhou City and how many controlled weapons have been created. Due to the limited conditions, there is no need for accurate data, but there must be a reasonable estimate."
"Get orders." Han Shizhong was not the first to take over such underground work. He had been familiar with the road, so he immediately went to select an assistant from Hutou Camp.
"What are we doing? Please give me some advice?" the others said with their fists.
"Do nothing. Lin Chong and Liang Hongying followed me to protect me, and the rest went to entertain myself. Just remember not to cause trouble. Yan Xiaoyi's mission is to occupy the brothels in Jiangzhou, and go to the fun of life and death while having multiple thoughts. I think that places can sometimes summarize a lot of news, and report to me if there is any unusual place." Gao Fangping waved his hand to disperse these guys.
Making these arrangements may not be of use, and there may not be any progress, but you can only do it step by step. This is basically a mechanism and procedure for Gao Fangping to deal with problems.
The breakthrough of the Jiangzhou problem is obviously in Hukou County. The reason why Gao Fangping didn't go in time was that he knew that he would not get anything if he went there now. Huang Wenbing was killed obviously because he discovered some major problems, commonly known as "you know too much". Then if some evil forces are not mentally damaged, Huang Wenbing should keep a low profile after being killed and erase the traces.
There was a few months of gap between the initiation and the arrival of Gao Fangping from Ren Jiangzhou. If you meet a smart person, you can basically cover up everything you should cover up. In addition, Cai Shu was dragging his legs with an ambiguous attitude, Gao Fangping was almost certain, and it was difficult to have a breakthrough for the time being.
This kind of thing cannot be rushed. First of all, you must stabilize your footsteps in Jiangzhou. Gaining a certain reputation is the capital to do things later.
The common people have been stabilized by Cai Shuwei to the point of being insensitive. Without their support, there would be no foundation for the people's war. Gao Fangping, who was a newcomer, may not be able to fight these sharks.
