Honglou, I became Jia Lian?Fortunately, there is a system!

Chapter 166 The New Deal Repeatedly!

In the morning the next morning, it was not yet clear.

Jia Lian got up from a piece of nephrite jade, and the self-discipline habits he had developed told him that it was time to go to morning exercises.

forecourt.

On the school field next to the stables, dozens of soldiers are practicing fists and feet, some are practicing sword shields, and some are practicing "Shooting the Sun Jue" with their bows. These are usually talented members of the Jia clan, or those who have been established by their parents. A meritorious and talented bodyguard.

Jia Lian spread out his stance, and slowly practiced Tai Chi slowly. After practicing for half an hour, the sky just dawned.

He returned to the inner courtyard, stripped naked, and began to take a cold shower.

"Grandpa~, I knew you were taking a cold shower again..."

But Zhiyu heard the movement and came into the ear room. Seeing that Jia Lian was taking a cold shower, she couldn't help complaining coquettishly.

Still going forward to rub Jia Lian's back or something, but Jia Lian raised his hand to stop him from a distance.

"Okay, okay, you're still in shape, and you can't touch cold water, go and have a rest."

In Shenjing City, the poor children in the south and north of the city finally got a job.

Every day before dawn, they would get the cost of yesterday's newspaper sales and receive today's newspaper at the two Donghai Chamber of Commerce stations located in the east and west of the city.

Because the Donghai Chamber of Commerce allowed the newsboys to sell the newspapers first, and then return the agreed cost of the newspapers the next day, three big bucks for each copy.

This is undoubtedly a great help to the poor in the city. Newsboys can sell at least fifty or sixty copies of "Daqing News" a day

Seeing Jia Lian turn around, his body is not exaggerated but still has well-defined muscles, and his strong body exudes the charm of male hormones. Even Zhiyu, who has been by his side since childhood, can't help being pretty. His face was slightly flushed, it was really pretty...

……

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers~ The anti-tax conflict broke out in Hebei Province and Shandong Province, which has caused hundreds of tax collectors casualties. The imperial court has urgently dispatched troops to deal with it..."

Before dawn every day, the newsboys would set off from their homes in the south of the city and the north of the city to the newspaper offices of the Donghai Chamber of Commerce in the east and west of Shenjing City to return the cost of the newspapers sold the previous day and the unsold newspapers. , Then get a new newspaper and carry it to sell in places where people gather in various places in the city.

The newspaper of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce is published every five days, and the first day after each new edition of the newspaper is the best time to sell, because most people have not read or heard of it.

As time goes by, the sales volume of newspapers will also decrease, until the new editions of "Daqing News" and "Nanyang Maritime Affairs" are published again, and the sales volume will reach its peak again, and then begin to fall again and again.

Each copy of "Daqing News" and "Nanyang Maritime Affairs" costs three copper coins, and newsboys can sell an average of about 50 copies per person per day at the price of five copper coins.

In other words, these half-grown children from poor families in the south and north of the city can get nearly a hundred copper coins in their pockets every day, which means that they are not only able to support themselves, but even have a surplus of thirty or forty copper coins Give to the family to subsidize the family.

This is naturally a great act of kindness to the people at the bottom. Recently, there have been more voices of praise from the people of Shenjing City for the Donghai Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, many problems were encountered during the implementation of this measure. The level of ignorance of the people at the bottom of this era is sometimes unbelievable.

From the beginning of recruiting newsboys to the newspaper office of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce until now, at least thousands of newsboys have spent the two to three hundred dollars they earned from selling newspapers the day before because of their own or their family's greed.

Most of the newsboys did not dare to appear around the newspaper office again after that, and a small number of people who appeared in front of the newspaper office again after a period of time were instigated by their family members, and most of them were arrested.

This time, the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce has no reason to let it go lightly. The servants of the Infantry Commander grabbed these children who made mistakes again and again at a young age and found them at their homes. They forcibly demanded hundreds of copper coins that had been stolen before and imposed A considerable amount of fines.

After several days of great excitement, the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce has played a game of killing chickens and monkeys in the south and north of the city, so that the newspaper can be regarded as laying a foundation in Shenjing City.

Afterwards, many green-skinned hooligans who made a living by exploiting the underprivileged people focused on the more than a hundred copper coins earned by the small newsboys every day.

Or after receiving some feedback from some newsboys, the newspaper office led the Infantry Commander in the name of Rongguo Mansion to severely punish these gangsters who have no bottom line.

In the end, more than 2000 strong green-skinned gangsters were captured in Shenjing City. After the Infantry Commander asked Jia Lian for instructions, they were all arrested.

These people will then undergo reform through labor in a shipyard near Tianjin Port, and will be dispatched to Luzon after the Nanyang Fleet captures Manila.

All of a sudden, the law and order in Shenjing City was miraculously improved, which even made many people uncomfortable.

From now on, not to mention other gangsters, even the officials and servants of various yamen, no one dared to think about the newspaper office and newsboys in a short time.

……

"Hey! Children, give me a newspaper!"

"Okay~ Chenghui five eldest sons, thank you, Lord."

"..."

"Let me just say, the strategy for this is to cut the meat from those gentry gentlemen. How can it be so easy?"

"Brother Huai's words are well-known and reasonable. Most of these squires, landowners, and counties are greedy people. Although there are a few good families, they are just a drop in the bucket. They will never be willing to be snatched away by the court. Such a big piece of fat."

"That's right, how much prestige was Wang Anshi back then? Even this great Confucian, whom everyone expects, just wanted to get back a little money, food and taxes from these people, so what happened?"

"yes……"

These young people discussing current affairs are all dressed as scholars all their lives. When they speak, and when their expressions are agitated, there are faint bursts of fresh air around their bodies. It is obvious that they have already accomplished their studies and cultivated a noble and righteous existence. .

A few of them are also the best of the Confucian scholars who came from poor backgrounds, and they often have a better understanding of today's morals than scholars from other aristocratic families.

They understand that it is because the previous officials did not have to pay taxes!
It happened that they annexed most of the most fertile land!
In this way, how to support the country's finances?

Naturally, the burden can only be shifted to the small peasants who are unable to resist.

What's more, since the aristocratic and wealthy families basically monopolized the grassroots bureaucracy, the country's taxation has also become a tool for them to collect money.

All kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes emerged one after another, and then the money of the gentry was returned in full, and the money of the common people was divided into threes and fives, and only the remaining [-]% ​​was the part that was handed over to the national treasury.

Layer after layer of exploitation, eating at both ends, the result is that the country and the people are getting poorer and poorer, but the vampire in the middle is so fat that his mouth is full of grease!

But are they satisfied with this?
No, of course not!

They have monopolized most of the high-quality land without paying taxes, and naturally hoarded a huge amount of food in their hands, while the common people had no overnight food due to the burden of various exorbitant taxes, and the risk resistance levels of the two were naturally completely different.

Therefore, the squires and counties don't even have to wait until the real famine, they only need to cut off the flow of food and spread some rumors to artificially create crisis panic.

As a result, the price of food was raised several times or even dozens of times in a short period of time. Therefore, man-made disasters were formed in this way.

For the common people, the tragic famine was a feast for most of the gentry and county officials!
Under the famine and man-made disasters, countless small farmers and even small landlords went bankrupt, but the big landowners in the fields and fields could annex land without scruples, and gradually developed into a wealthy family that spans counties, counties, and even states!

This is how those aristocratic families started...

……

"Speaking of which Mr. Zhou Shuren in the current affairs section of "Daqing News" is extremely pungent. He always hits the point with his words and is ironic to the bone. It can be said that he has won my heart!"

"Although what this brother Zhou Shu said is not bad, but it is too harsh and harsh, which is not acceptable to us gentle gentlemen. I regard this promising gentleman as a role model for my generation. He published it in " "Nanyang Maritime Affairs" said the young China, every time I read it, it is exciting!
The red sun is just rising, its way is bright! "

"Ah, that's right! I guess this Mr. Youwei is probably the pen name of some great Confucian. Seeing that he is willing to publish such a magnificent article on "Nanyang Maritime Affairs", Mr. Youwei should be the general who supported the Rongguo Mansion. It's a strategy to open the sea."

"Mr. Youwei is a great Confucian in the world. It should be true, but I don't know if he will take that step by taking advantage of the strategy of General Wuwei..."

"Okay, this matter is not something we can discuss, Mr. Youwei is naturally unfathomable, but don't you think that Mr. Zhou Shuren is also a figure like Wei Zheng and Hai Rui.

I hope that there will be more people like this in the world, so that it will be of great benefit to the nation, the imperial court, and the people.”

"That's true, just look at the attitude of that Mr. Zhou Shuren, I'm afraid he has no intention of entering the officialdom."

……

People like these people who came from poor backgrounds and are able to study well are a minority after all, so the public opinion that most people in the elite see and hear is contrary to it.

Numerous scholars from aristocratic families denounced the vicious government of "Alliating the land into the mu, officials, gentry, monks and laymen all pay for food" in order to compete with the people for profit. Many even wrote articles and submitted them to the newspaper of the Donghai Chamber of Commerce, hoping to publish them in "Daqing News".

The East China Sea Chamber of Commerce also believed that newspapers should not be the monopoly of a certain faction, so they adopted a batch of articles that were less violent and less taboo, and published them as well.

In the early days, even if the newspaper office of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce secretly pulled back, the voices against Tandin's plan to enter the mother still had an absolute upper hand.

It wasn't until Jia Lian published many articles under the pen names of "Zhou Shuren" and "Youwei" that exposed the real life of the people at the bottom and satirized the shameless faces of the landlords and local tyrants that the situation slowly changed.

In the end, the voices supporting the imperial court's new policy slowly suppressed those opponents, but within a few days, the anti-tax conflict between Hebei Province and Lu Province broke out as described in "Daqing News".

Even Emperor Baode was a little caught off guard. Frightened and angry, he directly issued an order to mobilize the soldiers and horses in the Shandong camp.

At the same time, another decree was issued to the Rongguo Mansion. After Jia Lian entered the palace, he asked Jia Quan to lead a team of personal guards to set off to cooperate with Shandong Daying.

And from this point of view, the five northern provinces still need a strong figure to sit for a long time in a short period of time. The legendary martial artist who has already shown his face in front of the world - Jia Quan is undoubtedly a suitable figure.

And transfer him away from Rongguo Mansion, the royal family and other interested forces can also try to win him over.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, if the win over is successful, it will be a big profit for the royal family...

The newspaper office of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce took advantage of this public opinion war, and people of insight from other forces naturally saw it, so they began to follow suit.

Printing technology is not at home?Paper manufacturing quality is not home?
It's okay, let's spend money!
It's just a newspaper, how much food does it cost?

I am waiting for a thousand-year-old family, which has a lot of background, and I still refuse to spend money at this time, I am afraid that there will be nowhere to spend it in the future!
So there was a "Jinlin Current Affairs" in Jinling City, and a "Hangzhou News" in Hangzhou City, which no longer accepted contributions from people like Zhou Shuren and Youwei who supported the new government policies.

These two newspapers are full of articles on conservative ideas such as that the family law of the ancestors cannot be changed, and it is a great crime to compete with the people for profit.

However, the whole articles written by these people are all about the words, hard and difficult to understand, and mostly use rare words and beautiful pavilion style articles.

The author also plausibly said that the so-called courtesy is not inferior to ordinary people. How can our gorgeous articles be written for those mud-legged people!
……

Zaoge Mountain!
Also known as Ge Ling;

Located in the southeast of the capital city of medicine in Jiangyou Province, a branch of Wuyi Mountain, known as Qingjiang Bizhang.

Winding and stretching for more than 200 miles, the peaks are back and forth, the ancient bamboos are green and the pines, the clouds are steaming, and the flocs are covered with smoke. The scenery of mountains and rivers is a natural beauty.

Ascending the peak, you can look around as far as your eye can see, with emerald peaks and mountains.

Zaoge has good mountains and clear water, green forests and green bamboos, abundant rain, and pleasant climate. There are sayings that "you need a quilt for summer sleep, and there is little ice in cold winter", "the three winters are warm on the dressing table, and the June is cool in front of the Mingshui Pavilion". .

Throughout the ages, this famous Taoist mountain has attracted countless poets and poets to linger for its beautiful mountains and rivers, wonderful scenery, unique historical sites, and the god of legends.

In the seventh year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, He Tian, ​​a famous Taoist master, once enlightened and practiced here.

It is said that Ge Xuan, a sage of Taoism, is not only the ancestor of Lingbao Taoist school, but also the founder of camphor medicine industry, so Gezao Mountain has become the "ancestral mountain" of camphor medicine gang.

Therefore, Zhangshu City is also known as the capital of medicine...

After Ge Xuan, his disciples continued to refine gods and alchemy in Zaoge Mountain, and at the same time they also cultivated medicine and practiced medicine. Among them, Ge Hong achieved the greatest achievement. Later Taoists called these two Ges together as "Ge Jiadao". It is said that both of them broke through After entering the third realm of refining gods and health preservation, they all flew away in the daytime!

Gezao Mountain has also become the "sacred place" of Taoism because of Liangge.

Later, in the reign of Yifeng, Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty, Zaoge Mountain was awarded the No.30 Three Blessed Lands in the World.

Zaoge Mountain entered its heyday in the Song Dynasty, and it was one of the three famous mountains in the world together with Jinling Mao Mountain and Guangxin Longhu Mountain.

According to historical records, at that time there were more than [-] palaces and halls, more than [-] Taoist priests, and [-] acres of fertile land. Taoists called it "the pavilion of immortals".
