Chapter four hundred and seventy-eight: Qingzhou civil upheaval
Hearing this, Mr. Qian couldn't hesitate any longer, so he ordered people to collect the books and official documents, and turned around and walked down to make arrangements.
Yang Yufan looked at Li Yi and said in a deep voice:
"Catch Li Yi and all the salt cubes in Haiyang Salt Field and detain them in one place, waiting for the official documents of Penglai Salt Bureau. As soon as the official documents arrive, the Dharma will be rectified immediately!"
The servant asked: "Where is the Li family's family?"
Yang Yufan walked out of the main hall and said as he walked: "Everyone arrested, no matter how old a child or an elderly person who could not walk, they would be arrested."
"This time the evidence is as strong as a mountain. Once the news arrives in Penglai, it will definitely be a serious crime to kill the nine clans. It is not necessary to arrest people in advance!"
......
This is the first time that officers and soldiers attacked the salt field in many years. Even the elderly people in Haiyang Institute have never seen such a big mess.
Shortly after the official army rushed in, the people gathered outside became in chaos.
They came here to seek survival. Everyone present made a living by selling private salt. They had not invested new money for half a month, and there was no surplus food at home.
There is no explanation in the past few days, and I am afraid it will start to cause trouble. For them, they will starve to death sooner or later. It is better to stand up and resist the so-called new salt method!
"How long has it been since Xiao Yang Shuai been in?"
"The Li family is a charitable man. Don't make things difficult for the government army. They are all for the coastal people who are waiting for us!"
"Yes, without the Li family's salt sales, we would have starved to death!"
"Why is there no movement yet, what exactly happened?"
Soon, the number of people along the coast gathered more and more, and with the instigation of some of the interested people, they quickly stood up and forced the cordon of the government army.
The President of the Bundesliga never expected that the people would really dare to come here. He heard them shouting slogans and had never seen such a scene before, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
He only knew that if the coastal people rebelled, the nature of the whole thing would have completely changed.
By that time, the court would no longer implement the new salt law to investigate local salt administration, but would become a suppression of civil chaos.
When it was spread, it can only be said that the implementation of the salt administration of the court was unfavorable. The new salt law caused strong resistance from local people and eventually triggered civil unrest!
It is very likely that people from other places will be ready to move. If they cause a chain reaction and arouse crowd of rioters, this will be a big deal!
This was a heavy blow to the majesty of the court and the authority of Emperor Qi today.
You should know that if there is a civil unrest that resists policy implementation for the first time, there will definitely be a second time!
Local tyrants use this incident to spread rumors, and the people will easily believe it, and will imitate this method and force the court to submit!
Although President Binary has never encountered such a situation as civil chaos, he is also a grassroots officer with military merits.
He naturally understood that at this time, it is best not to act too aggressively, to delay these rioters, appease them, and wait for news inside.
It’s not your own business to arouse civil unrest!
General Bai stood up and ordered his subordinates to take a few steps back, and set apart from the troubled people. He stood on a high place and spread his hands and said:
"Everyone, calm down!"
"We are not local officers and soldiers, but Yang Shuai's troops. The one who led the troops was Xiao Yang Shuai. There is something strange about the implementation of the new salt law this time. We will definitely give everyone justice!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man in the crowd said:
"Everyone can trust Yang Shuai's troops. If they are separated, things will be dealt with. Two years ago, Shandong has had a great earthquake. If Yang Shuai had not suppressed bandits and destroyed the bandits, my whole family would have died long ago."
Some people kept nodding.
"Yes, Yang Shuai's troops are different from other officers and soldiers. I will definitely give you an explanation. Don't make trouble. What if there is really something unspeakable!"
Some people are also very dissatisfied and sarcastic.
"Beast!"
"I've been hungry for three days and have not yet entered the water. If there is no money to earn, I will starve to death sooner or later!"
"That's right, I don't care whether it's strange or not. What I want is to support my family!"
"Wuwuwu, I just want to live, I just want to live, I'm almost starving to death!"
While delaying, General Manager Bai also signaled the bird gun team on the wall to make secret preparations, so that his subordinates would remain vigilant and deal with civil unrest at any time.
To be honest, most of these official troops are from Shandong, and they all know how difficult it is for poor people to survive these days. Facing their fellow villagers, few people really want to do it.
But once these people start to make trouble, the military orders for suppression will definitely be passed down. What should I do at that time?
On the one hand, it is the court rules with military orders, and on the other hand, it is difficult for the people who are about to starve to death and rebel!
Just as the situation was about to end and the crowd was getting more and more crowded, and thousands of people were ready to move, the sound of horse hooves came from inside.
It was a servant next to Yang Yufan. He held the latest announcement in his hand and raised it and shouted:
"Li Yang, a Haiyang Salt Field, has been managing official salt for many years. He has used his power to resell private salt to more than ten local tyrants including the Zhao family of Laiyang and Zhang family of Penglai!"
"He privately hoarded salt goods and made a profit of tens of millions of taels. The evidence is conclusive. Now the family has arrested him. Haiyang Salt Field is temporarily led by Yidu Official Army!"
The horse soldiers cycled around the people, shouting as they walked:
"Li Yi colluded with local governments and arbitrarily changed the notice of the new salt law in the court. Now you hear and see all the so-called new salt law in your ears!"
As soon as these plain words were spoken, they completely detonated the thousands of people who had accumulated here. They were all watching each other and couldn't believe that this was true.
The government and the notice issued by the government are actually a lie!?
If it is true, how tough should the powerful forces in this place be? Even the government is in harmony with them!
One word, hands and eyes are clear!
The policies passed down by the court were changed beyond recognition when they went to the local area. The government, the powerful and the gentry were extremely united at this time, not only blinding the court, but also fooling the people.
If it weren't for Dongchang, this matter might never be discovered. Looking back, how could it not make people feel cold behind their backs!
The news came out, not only the people gathered to discuss, but even the Bai Zong and his subordinates widened their eyes.
Neither officers, soldiers nor the people would have thought that such a thing would happen.
"What?"
"It's true, it's so scary!"
"Yes, the government notice is actually fake?"
"I don't know what the new salt law in the court is at all!"
"I'm about to starve to death, give me some rice first!"
About half a time later, the officers and soldiers walked out of the wall with the cooked porridge and distributed it to the people of all over the country.
Yang Yufan stood on a high place, watching the ease of the situation, and felt relieved.
Look at these people who were almost used as guns and were ragged, they hated Li Yi, a local tyrant who was doing evil.
He stood on it and said:
"I would like to spread this news everywhere and tell your family, relatives, the new salt law of the court, and the new notice from the Jiyan Bureau and my Yang tribe."
"All notices issued by the government will be invalid!"
......
Three days later, Qingzhou Prefecture, Le'an Salt Field.
The powerful people gathered together, and the news has become more and more evil in the past few days. The people have spread to Laizhou Prefecture by spreading ten people, and some have already spread to Laizhou Prefecture.
They all knew that if they didn't move, they would be too late.
"Everyone is quiet-!" The middle-aged man in a purple robe stretched out his hand, "Everyone knows about Haiyang Salt Field. We have to do something while Wen Tiren's decree has not come down."
"You can't sit and wait for death..."
