Chapter 1347 Eight hundred pacesetters

The eight hundred cavalry governors of the Biao camp knights, wearing shiny light armor, straddled a tall Qinghai horse, holding a slash of eight spears, with a left sabre and a right bow and arrow, and entered the city one after another.

This momentum made the people in Jiangling City frightened.

Although it is a time of great disaster, Jiangling is an important town in Jinghu after all. If it weren't for the fact that Jiangling has been occupied by Xiao Xian in recent years, Jiangling would have been somewhat affected, Jiangling would have definitely become a major town in the world, just like Guangling and Chengdu. However, under Xiao Xian's rule, Jiangling's development has stagnated and no longer has the status of commercial centers on the Yangtze River, and it is even worse than the development of Xiangyang and Nanyang to the north.

Fortunately, Jiangling City has finally returned to the embrace of the court.

The overall situation was not settled before, and although there were many officials, scholars and powerful landlords from the small court of Nanliang gathered in Jiangling City, they were not afraid of famine, but they were afraid of unstable situations.

Now that the situation in Jinghu has finally stabilized, they finally feel relieved.

But today I was still very frightened to see the 800 governors Biao camp cavalry entering the city.

"Isn't something wrong again?"

"What can happen? I haven't seen the previous governor's notice. Now, everything is based on stable disaster relief. The court also needs to use work as a substitute for relief and organizes disaster victims to dig rivers and build embankments. It also said that when the river is cleared and repaired, it will not flood in ten years."

"Not that simple!"

With Qin Qiong's eight hundred cavalry entering the city, Jiangling City did start to be in chaos, but it had no effect on most people, mainly for the officials and monks and Taoists of the former Jiangling court in the city.

One Buddhist temple after another is sealed. According to the court system, monks must have certificates of sanctions, and the certificates of sanctions are limited in quantity, and they even have to pass the imperial examination. If the grades are not good, they are not pious enough, so they are not qualified to continue to be monks and have to force their return to secular life. If they are younger, they even have to force their marriage.

As for the temple property and fields of Buddhist temples, they naturally have to be confiscated.

Some monks were dissatisfied, and some temples even openly armed confrontation. How powerful monks can pass through Qin Qiong's governor Biaoqiong?

This was the elite of warriors that the emperor specially pulled from the Northern Imperial Army when he left the capital.

Almost every time, the hairless bald donkeys who dared to fight against the court fell down. Fortunately, the imperial guards did not kill themselves, but they only beat them to their noses and faces, and then tied them up and threw them on the river to dig the river for labor reform.

The monks were knocked down and captured, and then the commander of the five and three thick cities looked at the vast city temple and smiled, "I think it's good to be the temporary yamen of the Dushui Supervisor, so I gave it to the Dushui Supervisor."

Within one day, 800 cavalrymen divided the routes and directly wiped out 138 Buddhist temples and forty-seven Taoist temples in the city. Regardless of whether you are big or small, the laws of the Qin Dynasty stipulate that no matter whether Buddhism or Taoism, no temple or temple must be set up in the city and villages. If you want to practice, you can only apply for approval to build temples and practice in the mountains and fields far away from the city and countryside, and the scale of temples must be strictly regulated.

In short, if you want to practice, no matter if you practice Buddhism and Taoism, as long as you don’t do evil deeds, the court will allow it. You must first pass the exam and obtain the certificate of tribute, and then pass the review and approval of the local government. In short, it is not easy to be a monk and Taoist priest in Daqin. If you want to be a monk and Taoist priest, you must be relaxed and comfortable, and it is even more impossible. You can only practice hard.

Especially, you cannot even leave temples, and you are not allowed to go to and from towns and villages.

It is precisely because of these strict regulations that the number of monks and Taoists in other parts of the Qin Dynasty has been greatly reduced. After all, there are still fewer truly pious people, and even fewer are willing to practice hard.

Risen grain number.

The shopkeeper stood at the door to watch the fun today. There was a large temple diagonally opposite them. There were hundreds of monks in it and hundreds of pure people (slaves) in the temple. In the past, Xiao Xian often came to this temple to worship Buddha. Although Xiao Xian was not as good as Emperor Wu of Liang, his attitude did make the Buddhist ceremony in Jiangling City flourished. Especially after the reform of Buddhism and Taoism in various parts of the Qin Dynasty, many monks came to Jiangling.

Usually, the monks in the temple are very proud, and the shopkeepers must be polite when they see them.

But today, they were all caught with bruised noses and swollen faces, and the temple was also sealed off.

"Are you the shopkeeper of Rishengliang?"

Suddenly, a governor in armor came over to ask him that there was a clerk in soap clothes beside him. The shopkeeper knew the clerk, who were all from the street.

"I am the shopkeeper of Risheng!" The shopkeeper responded quickly.

Biaoqi handed him a document.

"According to the order of the Prime Minister of Qin, all grain banks in Jiangling City must truthfully declare the number of grain stored to the Governor's Office, and indicate the various types and numbers of grains. Moreover, from now on, all grain banks in the city need to implement the grain sales price issued by the Governor's Office. The price shall not be adjusted privately, nor shall they be closed and not sold!"

"If there is any violation, you will be responsible for the consequences!"

The shopkeeper held the official document and couldn't help but frown into a bitter chrysanthemum.

"This grain price is determined by the governor's yamen?"

"Yes, it's sold at a uniform price until it's sold out!"

"This price? Fifty cents of rice, thirty cents of rice? Then I will lose my mother's stomach." The shopkeeper complained. At this time, Jinghu famine is a big famine, and this food is life. It is even more valuable than gold. Do you think a bucket can only be sold for fifty cents?

"Don't pretend to be a good person for me. Do you think Qin Xiang will know how much the price you received in the grain? You are the old grain from last year, or even the old grain from last year before yesterday. At that time, there was no big famine. Your purchase price was no more than twenty-five cents. Now that you are doubled, why are you still suffering?"

The shopkeeper is not willing to do it. Now the worst rice in his store is sold for 200 yuan per dou. He still sells it in limited quantities every day, just waiting for it to continue to rise. Now that he wants to sell it for fifty, it will be a big loss. His rice is Chen Mi, and the purchase price is low, but now it is a loss if you make less money.

The patrolman was too lazy to pay attention to him, "The official documents have been delivered, and it is your business whether to follow or not."

The patrolman left, and the clerk whispered to the shopkeeper, "Old Liu, now you should be more at ease. Not to mention that you only make less money, you will lose money, or even give away anything. Don't lose the big picture because of the small amount!"

The clerk is gone.

The shopkeeper returned to the shop and his face was as dark as charcoal.

"Damn, this is cutting my flesh with a knife. I do business, but I don't force it. Do you care how much I sell?"

"Shopkeeper?" Several guys surrounded him.

"Go to the door panel, close the door, and stop doing business."

The guy said worriedly, "But the patrolman just now?"

"Don't worry, I don't believe it anymore. There are so many grain shops in the city, and they really have the ability to do this?"

The guys had no choice but to take the gatehouse piece by piece and close the grain shop.

Over there, the governor Biaoqi and his team had just finished posting seals on the temple gate, but they saw that the grain shop was closed in broad daylight.

"Who, is this a crime against the wind?"

"Qian Laosi, I just asked you to send a document. Has this company sent it?"

"I sent it to the shopkeeper in person, and complained to me that the price would be lost to my mother."

"Since you have already notified me, you still dare to do this, that is, you are deliberately fighting against the court. Come and seal the grain shop, arrest the shopkeeper, and check the boss behind you, and arrest them together!" The patrolman was very rude and ordered the shop to be blocked and arrested.
