Chapter 2155 Those who respect others also respect them
The setting sun is like blood, and the riots in Guanzhong Sansuke finally broke out.
The first point where it erupted was near Lantian, which is also an area with many refugees. Lantian is the first stop after entering Wuguan. When Liu Bang entered Guanzhong, he also took the first line of Wuguan and Lantian. In the early Han Dynasty, almost no one cared about the Wuguan line. After all, starting from the Funiu Mountain in Nanyang, it was basically plunged into the valley, and if you travel in the Qinling area, you will lose it if you are not careful. Therefore, Liu Bang, who decided to take the Wuguan line at the beginning, was undoubtedly a daring crab eater.
And now, some people are going to eat crabs...
How it broke out is hard to test. It is said that someone jumped in line during the queuing process, which caused a dispute. Immediately, someone transferred their anger to the rice shop and started beating and robbing the rice shop guys. Just like beating the cashier if you don''t let the queue jump, some people''s anger is always inexplicable, and it is easy to blame others.
Is the guy at the rice shop the one who sets the price?
Obviously not, but the angry people don''t care about this at all...
Almost in a blink of an eye, the turmoil in Lantian has not subsided. In the area of ??Sanfu, Chang''an, many rice shops have also been treated in the same way. These rice shops were smashed open, the workers were beaten, and some were even beaten to death Or trampled to death, and then the grain stored in the rice shop was swept away, and some were set on fire.
The zero-yuan shopping activity is not limited to a certain skin color, and what is interesting is that most of the people participating in the zero-yuan shopping are not refugees, but ordinary residents around Chang''an Sanfu, and these ordinary residents, there are many I was very grateful when I accepted the welfare of the hussars last year...
Old Wangtou was a native of Chang''an, and now he was staggering and limping back along the side of the street with blood on his head. Even so, Old Wangtou was still tightly holding the rice bag in his hand, even though the rice bag was already stained with some blood.
Old Wang propped his head against the wall and looked back. In the direction of Mipu in the distance, there were countless noisy voices coming along the wind.
Some shops on the street quickly began to seal the door panels, fearing that their own family would be implicated, and some people poked their heads out of their doors curiously, and some people even heard about the grain grabbing, but they were afraid that they would not be able to grab it if they went late. Arrived, yelling and running wildly to the place where the incident happened.
Old Wang is getting old, although he knows in his heart that he may not have many years to live, but after all, as long as he opens his eyes, he must live, not to mention there is a young child at home. Old Wangtou''s favorite thing is to lie lazily in the yard waiting for the dark when Zhang Luo finished his day''s work and fed his grandson and himself. This is the most comfortable time of the day.
Until a while ago, everything changed.
Once Wang Tou opened his eyes every day, his heart was filled with panic.
Eat, what should I do with today''s meal?
Will the price increase again today?
Old Wangtou is a carpenter. Ordinary people, when the furniture in the house is broken, there is no reason to throw it outside without saying anything. They always repair it. If they receive a marriage order and want to do something to their son and daughter, it is the happiest time for Old Wangtou.
But during this period of time, whether it is repairing the list or making big furniture, there are fewer people.
With less money, food is more expensive.
It is not that there is no food in the rice shop, but there is a price increase.
It''s not that the old man didn''t complain, but is it useful to complain? Those rice shop guys laughed and said that the price of their food was high, and they couldn''t help it.
But, when the rice shop guy said there was no other way, could he stop laughing so happily?
This made the old king always feel that these guys were laughing at him.
So when someone started looting today, the old Wang who was in the queue didn''t pay attention to the painful wailing of the rice shop guy. After hesitating for a while, he also joined the ranks of grabbing rice...
In the chaos, the old Wang didn''t know where he hit his head or was hit by someone. Anyway, his forehead was broken, and the blood splashed all over his eyes, and everything turned red.
Blood is still flowing, dripping down the face.
The streets seemed to be full of people running, but the old Wangtou just wanted to go back home quickly, and there was a grandson waiting for food at home...
The son died during the turmoil in Chang''an, and a year later, the daughter-in-law silently left the child and ran away one day, saying that she was going to buy vegetables. Well, compared to being kidnapped, Old Wangtou is still willing to believe that his daughter-in-law just ran away, which also shows that at least she can find someone else to live a good life.
『The inspection is here! 』
『Run! Inspection is here! 』
Accompanied by the sound of horseshoes, more people on the street began to run chaotically. Naturally, some people got into the box and ran past Old Wangtou.
Old Wang moved his head forward step by step, and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps that seemed to be running past, and came back again. When the old Wang looked up, he saw a black shadow waving over...
『硿! 』
More blood spewed out, blurring the vision. Before he felt the severe pain, the old Wang''s head had already fallen down. The blood spread across the entire field of vision, and then darkness fell.
『It’s food! food! Hahaha! It really is food! 』
In the last blush, the old Wangtou heard the cry of joy, and stretched out his hand vigorously, trying to show that it was food for his grandson, but in the end no sound came out, crooked collapsed...
...(／_＼)...
"it has started…"
Wang Chang stood on a high platform in the school grounds near Chang''an, holding a command flag in his hand, and looked up at the black smoke rising in the distance. At the beginning of the whole turmoil, Wang''s rice shop was undoubtedly the first to bear the brunt, and the group that suffered the most damage. It could be said that there was Wang''s shop in the black smoke.
Beside Wang Chang, standing is Kan Ze. In the school grounds, banners were flying, and soldiers who had already assembled and lined up stood like statues, with a faint murderous aura rising.
Wang Chang started as a small scribe under Hussars, and now he has become a part of Pang Tong''s overall plan.
Wang Chang did not directly order to set off, but continued to wait for something.
After a while, several cavalry came rushing from a distance, and delivered the latest information.
Wang Chang opened it and handed it to Kan Ze, "It wasn''t Pang Lingjun''s order, but the scouts... There were riots in three places in the city, and the rest of the shops were closed... There were only two riots in the mausoleum." ...Zuo Fengyi is the most serious...』
Kan Ze nodded, and said: "Pang Lingjun''s words are more than half of the chaos, so there is no need to order, and now..."
『Then follow the order of Lingjun, and wait a little longer. Wang Chang nodded, then looked up at the sky, and said, "After dark, we will see the outcome...The night with the dark moon and high wind is the time to kill and set fire...These moles will always show up ...''
Although it is said that under the hussars, a series of elite talents such as Pang Tong, Zhuge, Xu Shu, Sima Xun Chen, Xun You, Jia Xu and Jia Qu have gathered, but it is obvious that these few people, or a dozen people, can support all of them. affairs, you can solve all the affairs of Guanzhong Sanfu, Sichuan, Shu and North.
No matter how smart Pang Tong and others are, one person''s time is always limited, and those trivial but essential tasks must be done by others. This is true even in future generations, just as it is certainly impossible for a mayor to move a table and sit on the street to register and distribute vaccines to people...
If you really do this, it is also a kind of dereliction of duty.
Therefore, under the hussars, there are still a large number of gentry children who hold general local positions, and these gentry children, either for money, for favors, or for other things, may be in a certain period of time. Inside, there will be behaviors that violate the hussars policy.
For example, to make it easier for some people, or to turn a blind eye when checking the credentials. For example, even if the strange behavior of the red ball makes Newton’s coffin board unable to cover it, it can be regarded as invisible .
This kind of behavior is sometimes difficult to define, for example, you can neglect yourself, and the sloppyness of a certain thing does not prove how serious a crime is. After all, people are not machines after all, and they all make mistakes. No matter what the reason is, as long as he makes a mistake, he will be killed, so who would want to hang out with the hussars?
But in front of big right and wrong like today...
There is no slight deviation allowed. It''s like you can ignore the bricks and call the beast to collect some small money from the company and just open your mouth, but it is absolutely intolerable to betray the country for its own benefit.
If you can''t show your responsibility at the critical moment, then do you still have to wait for the New Year?
Pang Tong deliberately told Wang Chang and Kan Ze not to speak out, in fact, the purpose was to wait for more guys to jump out, waiting for these people to hit the knife edge...
『Oh, many people will die...』 Kan Ze sighed softly from the side.
Wang Chang glanced at Kan Ze, "Why, are you still worried about these people? 』
『I''m not talking about those silverfish, I''m talking about ordinary people...』 Kan Ze looked at the black smoke rising in the distance, "These implicated people are always innocent, right? 』
『…』Wang Chang was silent for a moment, but shook his head, "Such people...maybe they are not completely innocent..."
"Wen Shu means..." Kan Ze was a little puzzled.
Aren’t these people victims? How can you say you are not innocent?
Wang Chang looked at the blood-like sunset in the sky, and said slowly, "When I was guarding the mountain school, I often heard that hussars did many good deeds in Pingyang... For example, Pingyang Bookstore is the book Chen Yuqian. And the counter is at the back, let the students read it, and never expel it...If there are any missing pages, etc., they will all be placed at the entrance of the store, and they can be copied without charge...』
Kan Ze nodded. He also knew this. Back then, he was also a perennial customer of Pingyang Bookstore. Sometimes he would hold a book for a long time. He was never scolded by the shopkeeper of the bookstore, and sometimes he even couldn’t see it. The figure of the shopkeeper''s buddy can only be found in the depths of the bookstore.
『There are many books, and the exchanges are complicated, but I have never heard of books being stolen in Pingyang Bookstore...』Wang Chang said slowly, 『Why? Because those who respect others are also respected by others... Pingyang Bookstore treats each other as scholars, so it will repay you with scholars...』
『However, in Chang’an...』 Wang Chang sighed, 『So what? Is it considered elegant to steal books without telling them that they are called thieves? He Qimiao also! Therefore, within Chang''an Bookstore, it is following the same pace, but what can be done? Is this the fault of the bookstore? No, it is the fault of man! 』
Kan Ze is silent.
In fact, what Wang Chang said is not wrong, but there is one thing that Wang Chang missed, that is, most of the students who went to Pingyang Bookstore were students from Shoushan Academy, and these students were basically able to find their feet. Things can''t be escaped, and in Chang''an, the flow of people is very large, and there are quite a lot of gentry children coming and going, and it is impossible to track every gentry child. Naturally, some people feel that even if they behave misbehavior, they may not be arrested Live was found home…
Once the little goblin called Fluke started to walk in front with his **** twisting and his waist swaying, the greedy guy was naturally drooling and staring at him as he followed him all the way.
『Let’s talk about the current high food price...』 Wang Chang laughed twice, and there was a lot of disdain in his voice, “It is said that there are many people who are greedy for money in Chang’an City, and they are actually selling their own food reserves! Even bragging about what they have gained, attracting others to sell their stored grain, and when the price of grain rises even higher, they may regret it, anger them, or curse them... Hehe, such people...the ones who started it, have no heirs? 』
Some people in later generations thought that Confucius was referring to the people who made pottery figurines. In fact, he was only referring to this matter. Exclaimed, why don''t you think about the future?
Wang Chang also used this sentence to explain that those who do not think on their own, but only know how to follow the trend, are blinded by interests, and do not consider future issues, are not "innocent".
The most important abilities of human beings are rationality, wisdom, thinking, and ability to analyze right and wrong, but if you lose these qualities, you will just blindly follow the crowd, go with the flow, and feel that the law does not blame the crowd, so you can do things that you dare not do in ordinary times , or even knowingly violated the law, can it still be regarded as innocent?
Just like this time when grain prices are soaring, some families who purchased grain earlier felt profitable in the face of high grain prices, and then sold the grain that was bought at a low price at a high price. I don’t know that my behavior like this is actually helping those black hands who push up the price of grain. Then when I find that the price of grain is getting higher and higher, and my granary is empty, I completely forget the joy I had when I sold it for profit. Blaming this, cursing that, showing yourself to be an innocent victim...
If it weren''t for these followers, no matter how hard Zuo Fengyi''s big family tried, they would not be able to quickly push up the food prices in Sansuke to the current level, and if ordinary people didn''t participate in it, for some immediate They sold their original food reserves for profit, and these big households did not dare to be so sure that their strategy would be successful.
These short-sighted people think that if they don’t sell it anyway, someone else will sell it, and then they will suffer a disadvantage? It is precisely because of this that the big hoarders are more confident, because they know that most people have no food and must accept the price they set. If these people hadn''t sold their grain and grass for the immediate benefit, Zuo Fengyi''s big households would have no way to be sure that their price would be acceptable.
Thus, those who sold the grain and grass because of the high price of grain and grass are actually working for the tiger to a certain extent. The tiger ate the blood, and they shared some soup, so they are not innocent.
There are also those people who are very courageous as long as everyone is doing it together, thinking that since everyone is doing it, then I will do it too. If others jump in the queue, I will also jump in the queue.
"In addition..." Wang Chang continued, "Lingjun made repeated orders and five orders, posted notices in the city, and sent people to preach in the field. They all said that if something injustice happened, the people can sue the inspection, and the scholars can appeal to the court... But the surrounding areas of Chang''an Among the three assistants, to this day, has Derun heard of anyone in the counties complaining that the price of grain is inflated and that it is a hindrance to the people? 』
『This…』 Kan Ze was stunned for a moment, 『Or think that the hussars are not in Guanzhong, so it is useless to remonstrate? 』
Wang Chang shook his head and said: "This is also absurd. As a land official, the hussars can only deal with government affairs in person. If the hussars leave, is it lazy?" 』
Kan Ze nodded, and said, "Wen Shu''s words deeply convey the meaning of being cautious and independent. 』
While the two of them were talking, the sky gradually darkened, and the sunset glow in the sky gradually faded away, and the darkness kept eroding everything around them.
The night wind gradually picked up, bringing with it the faint sound of crying and howling.
『Hey...』 Kan Ze sighed, "Even so, I still feel that if ordinary people are usually law-abiding, this time I was confused for a while... somewhat forgiven..."
Wang Chang looked at Kan Ze, thought for a moment, and nodded, "If so, you can write it down, or you can not commit the crime...but you should make the crime known and record it for filing. If you commit the crime again, you will be punished severely!" 』
『That’s it. 』Kan Ze also agreed. Can you do bad things if you have thousands of reasons? It is excusable to be confused for a while, but it is unforgivable to make mistakes again and again.
This time, Kan Ze was also secretly shocked. He only knew about the changes of the sun and the moon in Lishan Mountain, so he went down the mountain to report that the calendar of the 24 solar terms had been re-edited and approved, and he encountered such a thing...
It is precisely because Kan Ze has been busy with the calendar and has no suspicion of participating in this food price change, so he has the opportunity to be the commander of this operation together with Wang Chang. And according to Kan Ze''s deduction, this action is not the end. Neither Hushi nor Pang Tong are people who only take one step and watch one step at a time. Therefore, it is obvious that this action will cause more new changes, and then will affect more people.
"coming! 』
While Kan Ze was thinking, Wang Chang suddenly said.
The sound of horseshoes sounded in the distance again, and a cavalry came in a hurry...
