152 Xiaoxiao North Wind Rising Outside the City (10)

In early November of the 16th year of Chongzhen, Xiao Mo finally led the Eastern Palace Guards to withdraw the Longmen County garrison at the southern gate of Luoyang. After several fierce battles, Li Zicheng's army captured the City of Ruzhou, which made him anxious.

According to the prince's order, Xiao Mo took away food and winter supplies and left a lot of silver. No one knew that this local inflation would have consequences. I believe that Li Zicheng could not have taken a complete plan to bring a large amount of civilian supplies to Ruzhou in advance. The result was that the Eastern Palace spent money to buy reputation, leaving Li Zicheng a city with soaring prices.

The same inflation was staged in Luoyang at the same time, but because the winter food had been stored in the granary, and Zhu Cixuan's army could allocate grain from eastern Henan, which had not had a great impact on people's livelihood. Instead, because of the bubble caused by the ground, Luoyang looked a little prosperous, and even the business of brothels and restaurants was much better.

Zhu Cixuan originally planned to leave Luoyang before the bubble explosion, leaving the Liao family as the mastermind behind the scenes to inherit the anger of the people. He even thought about compensation for the Liao family, allowing them to choose a good land in Shandong and live a good life without worrying about food and clothing for three generations. However, the facts proved that he was not an economics after all, and completely underestimated the market bubble.

Even after investing a lot of ground stakes, the large households in Luoyang City still refused to accept the bad luck of being slaughtered. They even joined forces to swallow it up and continued to release all kinds of good news that seemed real and fake, raising the ground stake prices. Zhu Cixuan even used his sword to kill several brokers who were stoking ground stakes, but he still couldn't stop the underground ghost market.

After a brief fermentation, the Earth-Spirit was completely transformed into the thing Zhu Cilang hated most in his previous life - A-Shares.

Just as the people who entered the stock market in later generations did not expect those listed companies to pay dividends, the people in Luoyang just hoped to successfully speculate and earn the difference.

Zhu Cixuan released a large amount of land, hoping to end this underdeveloped premature securities market, but unexpectedly ushered in collective boycotts from all walks of life across the city.

No one is willing to use land to attract land to buy it!

Because the price of ground induced increases, people holding ground induced naturally also watch their wealth grow. Every day when they wake up, they find that they are richer. This feeling is definitely more intoxicating than having a piece of land.

Confucius' birthday on the fourth day of November was originally just a festival for Confucian scholars, but it caused a carnival throughout the city. The same day was also the Christmas of Taiyi Tianzun, and Luoyang's Taoist temples were also crowded. Because the sixth day of the lunar month was the Christmas of Taishang Jade Emperor, the joy continued until the early morning of the lunar month of the lunar month.

I heard that someone has already started booking a banquet and opera troupe for the 19th day to celebrate the Christmas of Jiulian Bodhisattva.

These people are thinking that the land in their hands has increased a lot of money, and they are like they have picked it up.

This fanaticism in Luoyang naturally attracted travelers from all over the world to come to Luoyang to sell goods. The commercial road that had been dry for many months was opened up, and the prefectural government office also received commercial taxes.

When Zhu Cixuan visited in a secluded second time, there were a group of people behind him, not the rich boy, but the rich master. The extra people were naturally Xiao Mo, Chen De and other officers. Although they changed into casual clothes, they could not hide their blood.

"It's almost time to catch up with the capital." Xiao Mo's understanding of the capital was under the clouds of plague. Luoyang was the second largest city he had visited. Seeing this crazy scene, he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

Zhu Cilang was also very uncomfortable. He had been suffering in the Forbidden City for more than ten years. One day he lived in the shadow of a destruction of his family and a country. Even if the bright sun was hanging above his head, it would be difficult to dispel the smog in his heart. However, at this moment, Li Chuang's army was only 150 miles away from Luoyang, and the two armies had to fight an encounter from time to time without stopping at night. The ancient city of Luoyang was like a dead tree in spring, blooming with such a strange brilliance.

"These people really don't take Li Chuang seriously." Chen De looked at the lively scene in front of him and felt uncomfortable.

After the defeat in Jiaxian County, Chen Yongfu lost the news. Some said that he had retreated to Kaifeng, some said that he was captured and surrendered, and some said that he died in the battlefield... All kinds of rumors were said to be terrifying, as if they had seen it with their own eyes. Chen De thought that his father's life and death were uncertain, so he still had the intention to go shopping and see the scenery. He wished the streets were bleak and the whole nation prepared for war!

"They don't take Li Chuang seriously." Wu Qing sighed: "This is not taking Da Ming seriously. For them, it doesn't matter whether the officials of Huang Ming or Li Chuang who are sitting in the government office are the officials. As long as they live a good life, the world will be good. The country has taught such people for three hundred years of education!"

"No wonder they are." Zhu Cilang shook his head.

Everyone has become accustomed to the embarrassing words of His Royal Highness. Of course, as the Crown Prince, there will definitely be no "despair". It can only be said that it is benevolence, self-examination, and it has definitely inherited the current emperor's style of "being lenient to others and disciplined himself strictly".

Just take it as a "self-crime edict"!

"A stick of real incense is natural, and auspicious smoke rises from the Huangting furnace; floating clouds are formed in the air, and I wish you a lifetime of thousands of years!"

While everyone was silent, a team of Taoist priests who were doing rituals rang the bell and sang in their mouths. It just fell on the ruling of "I wish you a long life today."

"Hey, Mr. Wu," Zhu Cixuan and others went over and turned to Wu Yan and said, "It is said that after Lu Xiufu was carrying a small emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, there were 100,000 scholars, and the people followed him and died for their country. Is that true?"

"It is indeed written in the book." Wu Yan said without hesitation: "I also think it is true."

"Why?" Zhu Cixuan asked.

"I have the backbone of China, how can I have left my hair and live a life of silence?" Wu Qing said lightly.

Zhu Cilang sighed and said, "So, it's my Zhu family."

Wu Qi's face was clear, but his ears stood up.

"China has its own backbone. If this backbone is gone, isn't it the one who is wrong with my Zhu family?" Zhu Cilang felt more and more disappointed the more he thought about it. He only felt that he was incompatible with this lively scene. When the Mongol Yuan invaded, there were still 100,000 Song people who died in the country. When the Qing Dynasty settled the tripod, even the so-called great scholar Huang Zongxi called the Qing chief "Sage of the Emperor".

"Your Highness..." Wu Qing saw that Zhu Cilang suddenly became in a low mood and quickly woke up.

"It is said that 'the sun and the moon reopen the Great Song Dynasty'. If you only learn the etiquette, can it be considered to reopen the Great Song Dynasty?" Zhu Cixuan said as he walked: "How can you afford these seven words if you don't let the people live a wealth and healthier life than the Song people, and if you don't let scholars respect and love themselves than the Song Confucians, how can you afford these seven words?"

Wu Xuan said seriously: "Your Highness, during the prosperous Ming Dynasty, I was much stronger than the Song people. Even the foreigners of Yangwu did not marry, did not pay compensation, did not submit to the emperor, and did not pay tribute, were incomparable to the Song family. Although the Ming Dynasty is now in a bumpy state, your highness should not underestimate himself."

"Yes, what sir said." Zhu Cixuan was not confused about this issue, and added in his heart: There was still the emperor guarding the country's borders in the Ming Dynasty, and the king died!... I hope there will be no more kings in this world who die.

"But accuse the people of not loving the court, it is better to see if the court's actions are worthy of the people's love." Zhu Cilang turned around and said to Chen De: "There is only the people in this world that will come first and then the court. At that time, Emperor Taizu Gao was able to establish a country, and was able to gain the hearts of civil and military officials, and even more because of the people. Why did the people at that time welcome the banner of "Zhu" at that time, but now they regard bandits like Li Chuang as the destiny of heaven? Not only should the prime minister think about this, but you generals should also think about it carefully."

Chen De felt a cold water splashing down, and the evil fire in his heart was immediately extinguished. When the others heard this, they bowed their heads one after another, and they were somewhat thinking about the current situation.

"Tang Taizong said that water is used to describe people, and boats are used to describe families." Zhu Cixuan thought for a while and said, "But I think this metaphor is not as appropriate as fish and water. Since today's festival is celebrated, there must be no program. Let's write an article about 'like fish in water' and take it to me tomorrow."

Everyone agreed, but secretly complained about the prince wherever he thought.

This question was sent to Zhang Shiqi's hands. Zhang Shiqi was soaking his feet too lazy to think about it. It happened that Hou Fangyu walked past the hall and was caught by him.

"You should take the title of 'like a fish in water' and think about it carefully." Zhang Shiqi told Hou Fangyu this topic and said, "I will read the theory of public servants in Liu Hedong, and write it together with this topic. I will send it to me tomorrow morning."
