He planted peonies in the Tang Dynasty

What does it mean to do good deeds?Give everything you have to help others through difficult times, regardless of your own income...

Su An made an inventory, and found that his family had a lot of supplies, including a large amount of grain, bacon, pickles, cheese, and even twenty-five secretly brewed rice wine, so he generously asked the tea lady to display an embroidered red flag in front of the courtyard gate , which means that travelers in distress can be helped here, and a small wooden building was built for the placement of berths.

At the beginning only two or three people came, and the guys joked that killing chickens with a sledgehammer was a joke, but then five or six groups poured in every day, all of them were family members, full of local accents, talking loudly, and the guys realized that the situation was serious. Not right.

At the end of the month, another rain fell, and the water in the imperial canal overflowed, flowing from south to north to the low plain north of Taiji Palace, criss-crossing the loess, cutting knife marks.The life of the people in Chang'an is still plentiful, but there is nothing more frightening than the spread of refugees, and nothing is more frightening than the rumors in the court——God condemns famine

When the rumors came together, the rain was no longer just rain. Along with food prices, floods, plagues, and finally, it turned into thunder.

According to legend, the supreme sage temporarily abandoned singing and dancing, and decided to move eastward to Luoyang at the end of the year to reduce royal expenses.

Chang'an City is bustling again. In the ever-changing rain, every family is facing different difficulties and opportunities.

"In the northeast, the horns of the Yong'an Canal kept ringing. The workers rushed to repair the dam. The porters said that the household department emptied the Taicang and directly transferred grain from Hebei and Jiangnan. In the south, Feng Zhaoyin ordered people to set up a porridge shop in the southern suburbs, which was ten miles long. Crowded, it's like an ant's nest, there is banditry in the west, all the food in the middle of Sichuan is robbed by gangs, Cangcao is anxious to death."

However, after the promulgation of the decree, not only food prices are still rising, but there are also more and more refugees. People who stand in the streets and alleys do not feel pain in their backs. Everyone sighs, but when it comes to the reasons, no one is confused.

Only in the attic of Mudanfang in the northeast corner of Pingkang, there is the idle sound of pipa strings floating every day.People said that Su Mo's melody was originally such a noisy and volatile temperament, but now it is inseparable from movement and change.

Whether it was a down-and-out businessman who was robbed of his goods by bandits, a former prostitute who was forced into prostitution, or an injured swordsman whose origin was unknown, Su An could accept it calmly.While he was roasting his old five-stringed strings in turn to keep them dry, he also listened to the complaints from Cha Niang and Twenty-Five that the guests didn't know how to flatter them, but they never stopped the repertoire in the workshop.

Shouwang Mansion now sends hundreds of stones of fine grain every month as usual. If he thinks it is not enough, he just needs to mention a few words, and Ten Kings Mansion will continue to supply it. enough.

But having said that, he really realized that this unprecedented famine was related to him, in fact, there were only two things.

One is that due to the flood in Guanzhong, the southern states imposed stricter inspections on the transportation of private goods on official roads in order to reduce the traffic burden in the north. The communication was interrupted, and only Gu Fu Gu Jiu said that a dozen people were all stuck at the border of Shaozhou, and they could only pass through the New Year Pass.

The two are that at the beginning of the month, another difficult guest came to Mudanfang.This man was wearing straw sandals and a coir raincoat, and as soon as he entered the door, he yelled, "Serve the wine!" The tea lady kindly brought him tea, but he smashed it to pieces with a "pop".

Twenty-five was impatient, rolled up his sleeves, and wanted to chase away the man, but saw the man take out the letter from the dirty clothes, throw it on the table, grinned and said, "It's so strange, what's the big deal about the rain? Why don't you tell me?" Boss, I am his uncle Qiao."

The letter was half wet, and the ink characters on it had been stained in a mess. Only Cha Niang was careful and saw Su Shiba's seal.The tea lady said: "Do you know Su Gongfeng?" Qiaozi poohed: "Sacred? Isn't it Ye Nu!"

Qiaozi's surname is Liang, she is 50 years old, and she has passed the county tribute exam all her life. As a result, her wife fell in love with the county magistrate Gongju, and she ended up being cheated by the rivers and lakes.Previously, for a few pennies, he helped his neighbor Su's family to write letters on behalf of him, but he didn't expect that the willows would become shades. It was rumored that the illiterate children of the Su family were doing well in the capital. Going back to the hometown to deal with the county magistrate, and to take seventeen or eight people to Chang'an, so why not feel sour and hateful?

But seeing that Su's family had many troubles, and he was no more single than himself, he visited him in advance to ask for his kindness.

Twenty-five was dumbfounded.Tea Lady immediately sent someone to send a letter to the poetry club to call Su An.Su An didn't expect that, he came downstairs in a hurry, but he didn't know that the first Dharma song in his life started from this rain and this unexpected guest.

In the afternoon, in a wing room, the two met.Liang Qiaozi crossed her legs and said, "Ye Nu, uncle..." The moment Su An took off his mask, Liang Qiaozi swallowed his words, stood up and said, "You are?" Su An saw Liang Qiaozi staring at her waist The accessories are like a hungry tiger seeing a live rabbit, waking up, and the eyes gather light: "Uncle Qiao."

Liang Qiaozi sat back on the felt again, rubbing her sleeves with her dirty hands, but she completely lost her arrogance.Only then did Su An become kind, asking about his health, asking the store to prepare tea and rice, and arranging bedding.On the twenty-fifth day, there was almost no room to live in the backyard, and all the food in the store was used up.Su An said again, no matter how difficult it is for villagers to vote, it is not difficult.

"This letter was also sent by you, Mom and Dad?" Su An picked up the few pages, looked at them, and felt warm in her heart, "I know that flower slaves marry women, and safety on the road is the key to success." For the best, luckily."

Liang Qiaozi raised his head and said in astonishment: "Ye, Su Gongfeng, do you know how to read?" Su An said: "I don't know much, just a little bit." Liang Qiaozi said: "Chang'an is such a strange place! The money you sent home, Brother Su is too embarrassed to use it, but you are so noble, who would dare to call you a trickster?"

Su An smiled and said: "That's right, I am indeed, if my parents didn't want to leave the ancestral land, I would have brought them to Chang'an a long time ago. Come, Uncle Qiao, have a taste of the food in the shop, This is called 'Ju Sheng Slave'."

Liang Qiaozi pouted, ate the dessert sprinkled with black sesame seeds, nodded repeatedly, then suddenly threw away the crumbs, puffed up her cheeks, and stopped talking.In the south, who has eaten fried goat cheese with "twist" made of honey! ?

Su An didn't ask why, but only asked what he was going to do on this trip.Liang Qiaozi said that he wanted to ask Su An to fight a lawsuit for him.

"Father Su, don't you know about it? In the summer, Guanzhong was flooded, and the fields in Songzhou were all flooded, and the farmers had no harvest. However, the government withheld the relief grain and colluded with merchants to raise the price of grain, forcing the farmers to lower the price. Selling fields! Farmers who don’t want to sell their fields come to Chang’an to beg for food to survive. Where to dry and where to store."

After listening to Liang Qiaozi's words, Nian Wu clicked his tongue: "Just you, still worrying about the country and the people?" Su An said: "Nian Wu, go ask if there is anyone from Songzhou in the backyard, and call two of them." Liang Qiaozi shook his head while Sighing: "How dare merchants act like this? Isn't it because there are officials behind them who join forces to force farmers to sell their land at a low price, and then share the benefits equally after the fact."

A family of three was called, dressed in ragged clothes, the man was skinny, and the woman held a child less than one year old in her arms.After Su An inquired, she found that what Liang Qiaozi said was true in [-]/[-] out of ten.Twenty-five asked: "Then why didn't you sue the officials?" The man lowered his head: "Why didn't anyone sue, but in the state government office, the land deed was directly taken away and twelve sticks were beaten."

The official Liang Qiaozi wanted to sue was named Song Chengqi, Sima of Song Prefecture, and a former magistrate of the county. leaf.

"Song Chengqi is the dog official who stole my wife! You were not born at that time, and everyone in the village was watching!"

While playing the Shaozhou tune, Liang Qiaozi danced happily, her eyes shone brightly, and she looked like an old man who had been cheating on the world for decades with this painful experience.Everyone present was indifferent, only the one-year-old child chuckled.Liang Qiaozi clicked her tongue and rolled her eyes: "Come on, Uncle Qiao will teach you to blow leaves..."

This time, Su An was serious.

Seeing that Su An was serious on the [-]th, he also added: "Before, the master ordered the young man to check the price of grain. I heard from the master of the He family that all the big merchants in Guanzhong who dared to hoard grain all joined a guild called 'Anfenghui' , all under the instructions of the Lu family."

Su Andao: "You mean, the matter of Songzhou Sima withholding food relief and forcing farmers to sell their fields may have something to do with the Lu family when traced back to the source?" Cha Niang nodded: "Yes, Lu Changsheng He is the brother-in-law of Prince Chen’s Chief Shi’s brother-in-law registered as a righteous merchant by the imperial court, and the father-in-law of Feng Chen, the housekeeper of Zhaoyin’s House, and they Changping Court has the ability.”

The Yantie Changping Institute is affiliated to the Pingjuan Bureau, responsible for controlling prices in Jingxian County. Over the years, the government has been handing over the errands of assisting in contacting merchants to the Lu family's house, that is, Master Lu Lu Changsheng is the middleman who controls the storage and storage. .

Generally speaking, prices are dominated by the eastern and western markets, and the rest of the smaller markets follow suit, with their own balance of ups and downs, and there is no need for the government to spend a lot of effort to rectify them. The establishment of this department is to prevent natural disasters and man-made disasters, scarcity of supplies, and treacherous parties. Make chaos.

Su An had visited the Changping Courtyard before, and even composed a few tunes for the Lu family. He knew that Lu Changsheng scattered branches and leaves everywhere. If you want to enjoy yourself or do something, you are always greedy, and you need to know those big businessmen who know how to be filial and can help sell the stolen goods. Therefore, the Lu family built a bridge from them, and used this to win over the officials of the palace for personal gain. For many years.

This year's rain is once in a hundred years. In the face of huge benefits, it is reasonable for the Lu family to expand their business and collude with the customs.

Nianwudao: "According to the order of the master, I have informed Gu Jiu, the chief manager of the Gu family, about all these things. I don't see any explanation from Gu Lang. It must be that one more thing is worse than one less thing." Su An said: "How about the old shop?" The tea lady said: " Uncle Gu is also busy dealing with the refugees, some really suffer, and some rascals cheat for food and drink, it's not easy to deal with."

Liang Qiaozi listened to the clerks talking left and right, and felt that Cha Niang's "cheating food and drinking" was talking about herself, so she lost her mind. waiting to die.

After thinking about it for a while, Su An pointed to the table and said: "Uncle Qiao, this matter is very important, you..." Qiao Zi said: "It depends on your ability." Su An said: "Okay, It will definitely be done!"

"Tea lady, contact the old acquaintances in Zhaoyin's mansion and let them find a proper way to report the case. In two days, Uncle Gu and I will go to Lu's house to talk in person to find out who the princes and nobles are behind the scenes, and then find a way to report the case. The Ministry of Officials..."

Talking more and more, after settling Liang Qiaozi, Su An saw Tea Lady covering her sleeves and snickering, so she laughed too.But in terms of performance, who knows if two or three of these ten items can be fulfilled?But, he still wants to try.

But the things in the world are like this, when they are superficial, they are easy at first glance, but when you roll up your sleeves, you will realize the difficulty.

A few days later, Guangdefang wrote back that the case was in Songzhou, so it should be transferred from the state government to the Zouyuan and reported to the Ministry of Zhongshu, and not under the jurisdiction of Jing Zhaoyin. Therefore, the acquaintance of Wang Tingfu did not even see Zhaoyin and Feng Linyuan. When he arrived, he was sent back.

Unselfish.

Uncle Gu went to find Anfenghui, and the process was tortuous. Originally, the southern suburbs were full of refugees, but these merchants built a wooden shed, cooked fashionable tea, and ate grilled crucian carp. They insisted that the soil in Songzhou was sour. It deserves a cheap sale.

It wasn't until Lu Changsheng woke up the next day that he heard the eldest lady scream and found a complete crucian carp bone in the bedding of Qilang, who had just turned one year old, that he immediately wrote back to Su Shiba. A little prince.

One is Xin Wang Mian, and the other is Chen Wang Mian. Both mothers are from the old family of Guanzhong. among.

All kinds of people gathered in Mudanfang, and they came to the conclusion that there is no way to sue this lawsuit, and no one dares to sue.

It was night, and the main hall in the square was playing "The Empress of the Yushu/Flowers in the Courtyard". Among the out-of-town tea guests, there were three or two who didn't know etiquette and threw Tongbao coins on the stage.The newly recruited little Legies didn't dare to cater to them, they still played and sang.

Su An was thinking about the injustice of the villagers, and her mood was complicated. Suddenly, she saw a coin flying in front of her. With a "ding dong", it happened to land under Legie's pomegranate skirt.Twenty-five raised his eyebrows: "It's broken."

"Guests, do you know why the price of food in the city is so high?" Su An regained consciousness, picked up the pipa and walked up, smiled, and said to Le Ji, "It's because you cut corners, go down, I'll play."

Everyone present was shocked and speechless.Su An closed her eyes, frowned slightly, picked up the string with one hand, and under the quiet attention of everyone, she played the whole song "Hou/Tinghua" leisurely.After the song, no one even reached out for his wallet.

Therefore, Mudanfang closed early, and it was during this process that another idea flashed in Su An's mind.

Afterwards, Su An worked hard all night in the attic to pick strings, took bamboo for a while, and took gold paper notes.

Tea Lady carefully came to Qiaozi's place and asked: "Should I sue this complaint?" Su An said: "Sue." Nianwu said: "How about looking for Gu Lang?" Su An replied decisively: "Not looking for him, nor Find other officials." Twenty-five said: "That's it?"

Su An said: "Since the master taught it back then, I want to try it out, how much energy this five-string can have."

No update tomorrow, please leave woo woo woo

"Zizhi Tongjian" Xuanzong was above the Daoist Daoist Ming Xiao Emperor: September, Renwu, established the prince Mian as the king of Xin, Mi as the king of Yi, Mi as the king of Chen, Cheng as the king of Feng, and Yu as the king of Heng , Ji was the king of Liang, and Tao was the king of Bian.Guanzhong has long rained and Gugui, and the general was lucky to be in the east. He called Pei Yaoqing to seek him out, and said to him: "The prosperity of the emperor in Guanzhong will not be easy for a hundred generations; but the land is narrow and there are few valleys, so the east is lucky to be lenient when taking advantage of public affairs. The minister heard At the time of Zhenguan and Yonghui, there were not many luxuries, and one or two million shi in the east of Guandong was enough to support the Zhou Dynasty, and Chengyu was able to live in peace. Today, the cost of Jinguang is several times higher than before, and it is still impossible to give. The cold and heat will be sympathetic to the people of the West. Now if the rice rented by the Sinong is sent to the eastern capital, and the capital is transferred to the canal, it will be a little more practical in Guanzhong. If there is a few years of storage in the Guanzhong, then there will be no worries about floods and droughts. Moreover, the people of Wu are not familiar with rivers and canals. After staying there for a long time, there were hidden robbers. I ask you to set up warehouses at the mouth of the river, so that the Wu boats will transport rice when they arrive there. When it comes to storage, the water danger will stop, the water will flow down, or the mountain road will be opened, and the vehicles will pass by, there will be no more delays, and the cost will be huge. On the banks of the river and the Wei, there are old Han and Sui warehouses. Criticism too." Shang said deeply.
