Chapter 1027: The Beginning of the Great Change
"There is finally hopeful this day." It was already midnight, and Xu Xuan and He Cang were walking together on the way home. Chang'an still has a curfew, but they are the chief and deputy chiefs and deputy chiefs of Chang'an County, so they can walk freely.
Ordinary constables have a hundred guan in a year, which was unimaginable before. In the past, the miscellaneous things the government sent to them had a 30 or 40 guan. Of course, their income depends on people. If they are a little bit darker and use their rights, they will eventually get much more than this number.
Like the former chief detective Chen Jiu, he has a wealth of wealth.
Xu Xuan used to be the deputy chief, and his heart was not so dark and he couldn't do anything, so he lived a less prosperous life. Over the years, he had only built dozens of acres of land outside the city. It was not just a high-quality irrigation land, but some dry land, which was only three or four taels of silver per mu, and his income was limited.
Now, according to his level, there are about 150 chunks of traffic every year.
"One hundred and fifty stakes is indeed a lot." He Cang said. He was a lieutenant in the army. Although he didn't have any money for food and clothing, he only earned about fifty stakes every year. For all of these, he had to pay some of them to honor Shangguan. At his level, the blood he could drink was really limited. There were only a few dozen brothers, and everyone was from the neighbors in the countryside, and it was difficult to start. "But the rules were too strict."
After looking at the thick Torah in his hand, he looked at Xu Xuan with a wry smile and said, "It's enough to pass the ordinary constable. You and my brother must be considered as having a good or above before passing the exam. It's not easy to get the money!"
"The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Supervisor Yang said something reasonable." Xu Xuan smiled and said, "Although I have a headache when I read the book, no matter how painful it is, I have to go back and recite him. This position must be preserved. Look, so many people in Chang'an are so hungry now that we can carry a bag of dried sweet potatoes back. This thing is the same as food! It's so hungry."
Both of them were carrying a small bag of dried sweet potatoes on their backs, which looked about four or five pounds.
"But the work in the future is not easy to do!" He Cang said: "I know that you used to have white servants and idle tutors. Now it is strictly forbidden to do such things. It means we have to do everything big and small. This is to treat people as animals!"
"It's 150 taels a year!" Xu Xuan laughed and said, "If you have a hard time, you will be more bitter. He Cang, I'm going to buy some good water irrigated land outside the city after I get a little free."
"Where can we buy the best water irrigated fields outside the city?" He Cang shook his head and said, "They are all masters, and the price is so high. Even if someone sells them, how much can we buy? The whole family will not eat or drink?"
Xu Xuan whispered: "Now is the lowest land price in Chang'an, and today during the day, the county magistrate said something, Shouchun Hou was arrested."
"Shouchun Hours?"
Xu Xuan nodded: "That's a great landlord. I heard that it was a noble who returned to the north. When Zhu Wen invaded Chang'an, he led his servants to open the city gate to welcome Zhu Wen into the city, and then persecuted the charity in resistance, with a lot of blood on his hands! At that time, the county lord sneered and said that all the property accumulated by the Shouchun Hou family over the past few hundred years had been charged."
"Where is there any property? Haven't it been stolen by the pseudo-emperor?" He Cang suddenly reacted: "Land."
"Yes, it's the land. The county magistrate said that all these lands would be sold." Xu Xuan said: "In the Shouchun period, there are hundreds of hectares of land, all of which are good water-watered land."
"Then the price? There are many people coming to the north, right? Chang'an people have no money, but they have money."
"There are only a limited number of people coming to the north now. I can't say it in the future." Xu Xuan smiled and said, "And I guess that Shouchun time has collapsed. Next, I'm afraid that more people will fall down. At that time, there will be a lot of confiscated fields. There will be a lot of fields and few people who buy them, so the price will naturally not be increased. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty now has regulations that no matter how big the officials or the rich families, the land owned by the family should not exceed one thousand acres."
"So, we have a chance." He Cang said.
"Most of the land in Shouchun is in our Chang'an County. At that time, it will definitely be the host of our county. At that time, we will register first. As long as we don't buy much, it will not be eye-catching, and you can also pick it in advance!" Xu Xuan said: "But I only have fifty taels of silver, and I can't buy much. No matter how cheap these irrigated land is, it will never be less than ten taels of silver. However, it is good to buy five acres, at least it is not lower than my income of dozens of acres of dry land."
He Cang was silent for a while and said, "The land of five acres is too small. Brother Xu, I still have some money at home. I will lend you another hundred taels so that you can buy fifteen acres."
Xu Xuan was shocked: "You are all relying on you alone, where did you get so much money?"
"It's not much money, there are only three hundred taels in total. It was the military pay for the last few months. I kept dragging it and didn't pay it. In the end, didn't everyone run away? No one asked for it." He Cang said: "I'll lend you one hundred taels, I'll buy twenty acres myself, and you can also buy fifteen acres. Our two families are connected together, so we can take care of them in the future."
"You guy!" Xu Xuan shook his head with a smile: "Then I will take advantage of you, and I will pay you back slowly in the future, and the interest will be calculated as the price."
"What interest do you and my brother want?" He Cang said: "I don't dare to buy too much, otherwise wouldn't it make people feel strange? There are more than a dozen people in my city who are from Chang'an."
"I understand!" Xu Xuan nodded.
After entering the market, the two parted ways. Xu Xuan speeded up and the room was still bright. As soon as he knocked on the door, the door opened. His wife Tian turned out to be looking around the door.
"I'm back, see what I've brought back!" Xu Xuan was filled with joy and handed a bag of dried potatoes to his wife.
This world is about to change a lot.
Xu Xuan already felt this.
And he was lucky enough to catch the tail of this change.
This is a reward for the little bit of good thoughts that he had in his first half of his life! Whenever he read this, he feels deeply moved.
Although God is often blind, he occasionally opens his eyes to see what is happening in the world.
Although kind-hearted people may not necessarily have good rewards, when good rewards come, only these people can be blessed by luck.
I am a little person, it's great that I can do this.
When the little man Xu Xuan slept beautifully with his wife, the place where the Prime Minister in the imperial city was still brightly lit. Li Ze, who was writing a memorial quickly, saw Chen Wenliang walking in with a thick stack of documents, and couldn't help but sigh: "Why are there so many more? Gongsun, Zhang Hui, Cao Xin, Xia He and his second uncle, aren't they doing things?"
Chen Wenliang leaned over and placed all the documents in front of Li Ze, and smiled and said, "Several Shangshu Fanzhi, Mr. Gongsun, are still in office. These are all reviewed by them. After you have read them, you can issue them. Some of them need to be retried, and the officials have put films in them."
Li Ze threw his pen, stood up, rubbed his face hard, walked back and forth a few times in the room, and then pushed open the window, allowing the cold wind outside to blow in. After doing this, he was immediately energetic.
In just a moment, Chen Wenliang had already replaced Li Ze with a thick cup of tea. Looking at the tea with at least half a cup of tea, Li Ze sighed: "Look at this, you are not going to let me sleep tonight."
Chen Wenshi smiled and said, "Several Secretary of the State Council have said that you must wait for your approval today and will be assigned tomorrow morning."
Li Ze sighed and nodded.
Ordinary people probably think that these people must live a very comfortable and comfortable life. But do they know that these people want to have a good night's sleep?
Every memorial here concerns hundreds of millions of people in the world. As long as you are not too stupid, you will understand that once a mistake makes a decision, the impact will be incalculable.
"Tell me a few interesting things that happened outside today to make me happy?" Li Ze closed the window again.
"There are also interesting things." Chen Wenliang said: "Today, the Ministry of Justice confiscated Shouchunhou's home. What do you think is the most exciting thing about Chunyu Shangshu?"
"What rare ancient books have you discovered?"
"No, it was tens of thousands of dan of grain in the cellar outside the city in Shouchun. Although it was Chen grain, it also made Shangshu Chunyu very happy!" Chen Wenliang said: "Of course, a lot of antiques, calligraphy and paintings were found at home."
"Ten thousand harbors of grain!" Li Ze gritted his teeth and said, "Not to say anything else, just now, he still has so much food in his family, so it would be not unfair to cut off his head. In this way, there are still many bastards in Chang'an who have privately kept Luo? Shouchun is definitely not an isolated case."
"Shangshu Chunyu thought so too, so tomorrow, a second unlucky person will appear." Chen Wenliang smiled and said, "These people really don't cry when they see the coffin. Anyone who is smarter will not see the fate of Shouchun Hou and look at your praise of Yongji Bo, and you will not taste it any more!"
"The ancestors of these people are all heroes, but after generations of experience, most of the rest are wine bags!" Li Ze sighed: "There are very few people who are truly knowledgeable and honest. They all have luck and will they really repent if the knife is not cut on their heads? No, no, even if the knife is true to them, they will definitely be confused."
"It's true!" Chen Wenliang nodded.
"You should now understand why I want to hold the Yixing Society Congress. Do you have to choose the chief who ruled our country every five years? This is an example. Think about the power of the Tang Dynasty in the past is in the hands of such people. How could the Tang Dynasty not collapse? Only by opening upward channels and constantly introducing fresh blood into the ruling class can our empire remain vibrant forever."
"But Secretary Zhang also said that in this way, the future internal political struggles will probably be very fierce!" Chen Wenliang said carefully.
