Chapter four hundred and fiftieth: anxious red eyes

Compared with the intrigues in the capital, although Lang Son is also noisy, there are also many asking for prices and repaying money on the ground. Some people who are not honest even use inferior products as good people, which caused a lot of controversy, but here, it is still completely opposite to the tense atmosphere in the capital.

There are gentry from Jiaozhi everywhere here. These people have mastered the vast majority of Jiaozhi's land, each of which is rich and spends money like a lot of money.

There are also countless merchants who have settled in, each with silk, silk, silk, and fine clothes and food.

In fact, at the beginning, whether it was a gentry or a merchant, they did not intend to live here forever.

After all, leaving home is unacceptable for most people.

But gradually, some of them came here just to avoid the war, and some of them just wanted to try to do some business. No matter what purpose they were, once they stayed here for a long time, they gradually settled down.

The property in the village can be entrusted to children and managers. In fact, as the owner of the family or the clan, there is no need to do anything personally.

Here, there are thousands of lights all night long. All streets are neat and clean. Every day, there are special people who push carts and garbage trucks to clean the streets. The ditches here are planned in advance, so there is no need to worry. Once it rains heavily, it will be muddy. Here, the streets are covered with bricks, and then smoothed with mud, making the road smooth.

The lively and lively place here is far more lively than Jiaozhi's provincial capital Jiaozhou and Guangxi Guilin. Even compared with the most prosperous Suzhou and Hangzhou, it is not far behind.

Here, the freshest things are born every day, and this place is always novel. Because of the mixed Han Dynasty, the customs are also very different. Although most of the people here speak various accents, they all speak official language. However, you can still distinguish your fellow countrymen from the accent. Whether you are from Zhenla, Jiaozhi, Guangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, or even Suzhou and Hangzhou, there are many villagers here.

The shops here are almost day and night, noisy during the day, and lights are also rising at night. Drinks, teahouses, brothels, tramways, and even opera troupes from all over the world and the coupe stadiums flowing from the South Ocean will end until dawn.

The most important thing is that no one cares who you are here. No matter which lord or lord you are, as long as you walk on the street, no one will look at you more. This is a different world, and the status is no longer a title or official position. There is only one standard for measuring - silver.

With silver, you can buy anything from anywhere in the world, especially after a large number of wealthy families gathered, which almost surged in demand for luxury goods in Lang Son. Originally, it was just a transit center, but now it has become a huge consumption center. Countless merchants have brought countless rare goods from all over the world to sell them, authentic Suzhou-Hangzhou silk, Jiangxi porcelain, Lingnan pearls, Sichuan-priced wines, Fujian-Zhejiang tea. Spices and ivory from real wax, Korean ginseng, Lang Son's most exquisite ironware and furniture, as long as there is silver, everything is available here.

Relying on the Hou Mansion, Lang San is the so-called "rich area". Here, it is not only safe but also comfortable. Nowadays, people who live here are not only those "officials" in Jiaozhi, but also countless wealthy merchants and wealthy families, as well as the upstarts of Lang San. Their houses here tend to be unified in style, and they actually do not occupy a large area. Compared with the countryside, they seem to be not grand enough.

But living here is easy for almost everyone to be satisfied.

After the Jiaozhi quelled the rebellion, there were also Jiaozhi gentry who planned to return to their hometown. The whole family returned to their Guangping Mansion, but in less than a month, they all moved back one after another.

It's boring.

Because your relatives, friends, and many of your relationships are actually in Lang Son, you can’t live like this in a house. Moreover, compared with the prosperity and convenience of Lang Son, it is simply terrible.

For example, if you want real silk and satin from Suzhou and Hangzhou, women want the latest ready-to-wear, the latest gold and silver jewelry, and even authentic Fujian Wuyi tea, you will soon find that there is no one there, you have to ask people everywhere and try many ways to get it.

There is no wide street there, and there are no guards wearing black shirts, holding sticks, and bamboo whistles around their necks. If you have such a special hobby, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and hope to taste fine wine and food, then there you will find that you are lonely.

Compared with Lang Son, even in the provincial capital Jiaozhou, your needs are difficult to meet.

So, some people began to miss the tea party and chess meeting organized by a group of scholars and masters in Lang Son every now and then, and they also miss the poetry meeting organized by some "Great Confucians". What's even more ridiculous is that your children are now having some difficulties in even studying.

Jiaozhou is not without a teacher or a school, but compared with Lang Son, it is just like a heaven and an underground. At that time, the great scholars of Jiaozhi migrated from their families. They were different from these wealthy families. They had industries wherever they went. However, the great scholars were different. Once they went there and wanted to come back, they didn’t know how much effort it would take to settle them. Therefore, most of the great scholars stayed in Lang Son, not to mention that Lang Son also attracted many famous scholars from the Ming Dynasty to travel there, and some were willing to teach and educate. It was clearly in Lang Son, and with your identity, it was enough to invite famous teachers. Who could bear it? Here was fooled by a group of half-baked scholars.

So the women were dissatisfied and the children became a problem. Even the men themselves began to think of Lang Son.

In the end, I couldn't afford to eat, so I simply returned to Lang Son in shame.

"Langsan is so nice. In the past, I always thought that the countryside was pretty good. I have never been here for generations. But now I am not used to it. Whether it is to stay here, I will go back every year and worship my ancestors. It is enough."

Those who returned and said roughly these words, which made many people who thought about water and perch hesitate.

In fact, when the people who returned home came back, those who wanted to go back stayed here. More importantly, many wealthy families in Jiaozhi, even Zhenla, Chameng and other places moved to Lang San. The charm of Lang San is that as long as you are willing to stay here, you won’t like other places in no time.

Many gentry were actually worried these days, and there were many rumors saying that they wanted to build a well field. These wealthy families rely on land and make money by land. But now the Ming Dynasty court actually wants to implement a well field. Isn’t this a life-threatening person?

As a result, many people became uneasy. Although the news was not accurate, the public mansion was overcrowded.

Many people came to visit as if they were moving lanterns, some wanted to inquire about the exact news, and some wanted to see if there was room for maneuver.

Hao Zheng was here, so he naturally comforted them. It was nothing more than saying that the Hao family would argue with reason. Now that his son is in the court, he would never sit idly by and mislead the emperor.

These words are ultimately false. This uneasy feeling spreads, and fortunately Hao Zheng comforts him, so no big trouble has occurred.

At this time, more and more people feel that living in Lang Son is necessary. It is no longer a more enjoyable or comfortable place. The biggest problem is that children can receive better education. This is the political center of Xijiang. No matter what, you can receive news as soon as possible, and for the sake of your family, you can also deal with the Hao family and merchants the most convenient way.

Nowadays, many people are discussing this matter like headless flies. When the news has not come, some people can't stand it anymore.

There is a Jiaozhi poetry meeting in Lang Son. The so-called poetry meeting is to satisfy the interests of the gentry, and on the other hand, it is also to provide for everyone to communicate with each other.

Many Jiaozhi gentry would go every now and then, and everyone recited poems and talked about Lang Son's actions and business matters occasionally. However, recently, more people have been going on, and what they are discussing is no longer poetry, but more things are related to the real field.

Seeing that there was no news and it involved everyone's lives, although the Hao family tried their best to deal with it, the Hao family was not the emperor of the Ming Dynasty after all. Once the imperial edict was issued, what could the Hao family do?

Under such an emotion, some people finally couldn't help it, so some people suggested that everyone choose more than a dozen people to go out and go to the official residence to express their feelings. No matter what, they had to ask the official to have an accurate statement.

Everyone naturally agreed, so more than a dozen wealthy gentry represented by Ruan Yu rushed to the Duke's Mansion with the joint name Chen Qing.

Hao Zheng has been in a state of great anxiety these days. Of course he knew that the imperial court had already been red in his eyes, but unfortunately he was far away in Jiaozhi and had no choice.

Now that he heard Ruan Yu and others coming, he knew that the visitors were not good, so he met them in the flower hall.

In fact, we are all old acquaintances. To be honest, we usually have friendships that are called brothers and brothers, but today, we really can't laugh. Ruan Yu smiled reluctantly, bowed, and then sat down with the people. Finally, she sighed and said, "Mr. I usually treat me well. If you say something in your heart, I rely on my kindness to be today. As a human being, I don't know how to repay kindness, what's different from beasts? But if I say something that is not right, if the court really comes to this trip, I will deprive me of the land and land. By the time I wait, there will be no place to stand..."

Hao Zheng suppressed his hand and interrupted: "Brother Zixian's words, of course I understand that this imperial edict has not been issued? As long as it is not issued, there is room for maneuver."

Ruan Yu looked at each other and shook her head. She said so, but to be honest, they still had no idea.
