Chapter 120
West Malaysia comes from the east
When the argument first came out, Tang Shuijian was afraid, but later he found that the more intense the argument, the more beneficial it was for him, and the more famous the Tang family's old store was, so Tang Shuijian took the initiative to come out and fan the flames, and even openly opened fire on some shops and some people's remarks, making the topic more controversial and hotter.
As he said, when he left Huang County, no one knew what kind of cat or dog he was. Now merchants from other counties knew that there were people like him, and some even came to stay in the hotel on their own initiative, so he said to a group of friends: "Follow me to do a good job in the future, and the business will definitely flourish!"
The guys present all thought that this prospect was wonderful, but at this moment, the guy who just talked back to Tang Shuijian said in a low voice: "Boss, you haven't heard any rumors in the market. If that matter is true, our business will probably be closed!"
"What news?" Tang Shuijian was in high spirits, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water in his heart: "What are the rumors?"
The gang whispered: "I heard that the Hengwang Mansion in Qingzhou to the west is kind and generous, and I want to give five hundred cows, two hundred horses and two thousand sheep to our county!"
Five hundred cows, two hundred horses, and two thousand sheep were a surprising amount of wealth everywhere, but when he heard this number, Tang Shuijian's expression became serious, and he asked, "Is this really the case?"
The guy didn't speak loudly, and even panicked: "It's been rumored on the market. I don't know if it's true or not, but I heard that some time ago, a castrated dog from the Hengwang Mansion of Qingzhou came to our Huang County to do business."
"It's such a thing." A guy next to him quickly added the details: "I saw the eunuch passing by my door with my own eyes. I thought it was a big shot. After a closer look, Zhou Duda from the Zhou family in Longxi, this county knows if he is a dilapidated?"
When people in this county talked about the Zhou family in Longxi, although they expressed sympathy for their destruction, they had no sympathy for the Zhou family and Zhou Duda. Some even had the idea of "The Zhou family was defeated so well" and "the eunuchs in the palace were also considered to be used to eliminate harm for the people."
No matter whether it is the Zhou family in Longxi and Zhou Duda, they are too unauthorized in their work, especially when they have a relationship with the Wang family in Xincheng, they are simply bullying men and women and domineering without any scruples. The people in the village are full of grievances. I don’t know how many people they offended. It is precisely because of this that the decline of the Zhou family in Longxi has come so quickly and so fiercely.
Now when it comes to Zhou Duda, the shopkeepers have some impressions: "Zhou Duda? This person is really cruel. He cut off the Zhou family's roots with just one knife. Fortunately, it's okay. Fortunately, the eldest lady of the Gu family didn't marry him at the beginning, otherwise she would have ruined her whole life!"
"Yes, this person is cruel enough. Not only is he cruel to himself, but also to his fellow villagers. He had been in a resentment and anger for many days in this acre of three-quarters of land in our Huang County. When the Zhou family was ruined, no one would secretly applaud!"
The guy continued, "I just didn't expect that he would transform into a castrated dog from the Hengwang Mansion and come back to our Huang County. When I thought of their family's various activities, I didn't even want to say hello!"
"This is just right. Anyway, this person is not a good person. He just became a castrated dog from the Heng Palace, so the people of our Huang County will suffer disaster!"
The entire Dengzhou Prefecture had no good feelings for the Hengwang Mansion. The envoys sent by the Hengwang Mansion to Dengzhou Prefecture, whether they were the chief ministers, Yibins, school lieutenants or internal officials of the Hengwang Mansion, all went to Dengzhou Prefecture to fight Qiufeng and grab meat to eat.
If the local government responds wrongly, the Qiufeng will become a smashing everyone's job, and the fattest piece of meat in the bowl will be taken away. Sometimes the local officials are too soft and the gentry and powerful, not only will they smash everyone's job, but they will also dig three feet into the ground, and the officials and the people will suffer in a miserable way.
The only thing that the Heng Palace brought to Dengzhou Prefecture was plunder and more plunder. Dengzhou Prefecture never had any benefits on the Heng Palace. So when he heard that Zhou Duda had become the inner official of Heng Palace, everyone had already stabbed countless knives in his heart, wishing he could chop Zhou Duda into countless pieces.
After hatred, some people still didn't understand Hengyang Mansion's actions: "Boss, Xiao Wu, Heng Wang Mansion said that we would give us five hundred cows, two hundred horses, and two thousand sheep in Huang County. This is a good thing. Why would Xiao Wu say that the business is about to be closed!"
Tang Shuijian immediately replied, "No wonder you thought the Heng Palace would give us cattle, sheep and horses for free? People must double the money back. Think about it carefully and don't let everyone think that your mind is flooded!"
"Besides, the barbarians from the Three Western Prefectures remember how many years we have been going to raise horses in Laiqing County. Isn't the Heng Palace leading the way for the Xifu? The horses from the Three Western Prefectures are sent to the East Prefecture. Is there still a way to survive in our East Prefecture?"
Tang Shuijian immediately turned his fingers to talk about the old story: "During the Zhengde period, Wuzong was unrighteous, so he took the opportunity to let our three eastern prefectures dispatch horses to raise horses. Fortunately, the officials and the people of our three counties united and defeated the conspiracy of the Western Prefecture! "During the Jiajing period, the conspiracy was resumed. Fortunately, Mao Guolao and Li Bingshi joined forces to avoid this major disaster. During the Longqing period, thanks to the Tang Dynasty governor of Qingzhou, the tide was turned around, and Liu Shangshu of Weixian cares for the countryside, he could turn the world around."
The horse-raising campaign is a very concern to the people of the three eastern governments. As soon as Tang Shuijian opened his mouth, several customers in the hotel immediately pricked their ears.
During the Ming Dynasty, Shandong was divided into the Three East Prefectures and the Three West Prefectures. The Three West Prefectures rely on the canal and had a relatively developed economy, so they also assumed the obligation to raise 30,000 horses for Taipu Temple. Due to the ban on sea, the economy of the Three East Prefectures was relatively closed and backward, so there was no need to raise horses for Taipu Temple.
Raising horses for Taipu Temple is a free labor, and it does not enjoy the policy of exempting food. "Raising one horse (mare) for every five kids, and raising a son horse (stalk horse) for three kids, is not an example of exempting food." This is an extremely heavy burden for the Western Three Prefectures.
However, in terms of horse raising conditions, the sparsely populated Dongsanfu is more superior to the Xisanfu. "The East Three Prefectures are remote and poor, and the land is suitable for producing horses but there is no difference in raising horses, so they get the benefits of selling horses." Every year, when horse raising households in the Xisanfu have to hand over horses to Taipu Temple, they have to buy a large number of horses from the East Three Prefectures.
Therefore, since Zheng orthodox, the people of the Western Prefecture have constantly asked to arrange horse breeding battles to reduce the local burden. In the tenth year of Zhengde, the Ministry of War once decided that the Three East Prefectures and the Three West Prefectures would jointly undertake the horse breeding battles, but the Three East Prefectures tried to delay and fool them, and ended in vain.
During the Jiajing period, people from the Three Western Prefectures re-mentioned old things, advocating that the East and West Prefectures would not only raise the West Prefectures. The officials, civil and gentry of the East Prefectures naturally firmly disagree. Mao Ji, the Minister of Revenue, and Li Kun, the Minister of War, joined forces to play a role, and eventually the plan of both the East and West Prefectures to send horses to bankruptcy.
During the Longqing period, horse raising was preparing to redeem silver. Zhao Yinglong, the inspector of the horse seal and the Shandong Fuzhang were preparing to reorganize the horse raising servants and spread the horses from the three western prefectures to the whole province. Therefore, the "East people were shocked" and all opposed it. Tang Weicheng, the prefect of Qingzhou, was the number one sucker, firmly opposed Qingzhou Prefecture's horse raising and repeatedly clamored to resign.
Liu Yingjie, who was then the governor of Ji Liao Baoding and other departments, violated the organizational principles in order to ensure that the village was in conflict with the principles, and became the mastermind behind the scenes. He wrote a memorial by himself, and then handed it to the villagers to go to the capital to petition, which eventually turned the world around.
These three battles to raise horses in the world were about to be implemented, and were eventually forced to reverse the situation by powerful people from the East Three Prefectures. In this way, the East Three Prefectures were "fearing horses as if they were afraid of tigers, and adding horses as if they were added tigers."
