The prefect could not and did not dare to prevent these people from leaving the city.
Seeing that the prefect had regressed, these people were not aggressive. They were elegant and polite scholars.
"Since the large number of people is making things difficult for the government, we will leave in batches as you said, sir." They said kindly, "Guangzhou Prefecture is our home, and we don't want the government to make things difficult for the people."
The Tian family and the Liao family kept their word. Now the Tian family is leaving the city, and the Liao family who blocked the streets immediately retreated.
The people of the Tian family no longer crowded at the city gate, but retreated. Every once in a while, a group of people would come out, riding horses and carriages, driving animals and pulling luggage. Although it would still cause crowding on the street, it was less crowded than before. It was much better, and the city gate was no longer congested immediately, but
"They left in groups like this, which only made the panic spread even more." Chang Shi stood on the city gate and smiled bitterly.
Even if these aristocratic families travel in batches, they are still eye-catching, and people on the street rush to tell each other.
After all, not everyone could see the congestion in the streets at the city gate before. The congestion at the city gate only lasted a day and a night, but now they are traveling in batches. People are leaving the city every day, and everyone can see it when they come.
"Come and see, this is a member of the Liao family."
"That's right, they are moving."
¡°Oh my god, where are they going?¡±
"Why are they leaving?"
¡°Is there any safer place than ours?¡±
"Or is it unsafe for us here?"
The discussion dispersed as the people walking in batches dispersed, and the street became more congested. Frightened people came forward to stop and ask questions.
The people of the Tian family and the Liao family did not say that it was because of the government's harsh government. Those who were stopped either said that it was the clan leader's decision, or that the state capital has a large population and they did not want to compete with the people for survival opportunities. This was polite, and the rudeness was reserved. Some people say that Guangzhou Prefecture is not suitable for them to live.
¡°Vagueness has always been a source of suspicion, and not telling is sometimes more frightening than telling.
The hall of the prefect was filled with officials of all sizes, some with frowns and some with sad faces, some with anger and some with sadness.
"Why do you listen to adults? They clearly did it on purpose."
"This way, there will be all kinds of rumors in the city."
"How much money did the young lady and your lord spend, and how much blood and flesh were used by the soldiers and horses, to appease the people and make Guangzhou Prefecture and half of Huainan Road stable"
"How much money is it? Gwangju Prefecture has spent a total of money so far"
"Master Yu, Master Yu, this is an exclamation, not for you to calculate the amount. Sit back quickly."
There was a lot of discussion in the hall. Except for a few who were distracted, everyone's topic centered on Tian's and Liao's departure from Guangzhou Prefecture.
"It's not just the Tian family or the Liao family." An official said in a deep voice.
These words made the noisy hall freeze for a while.
"Outside the city" An official stood in front of the map in the hall and stretched out his hand to point
"Why two maps?" A voice interjected.
Everyone looked in one direction, towards the back corner of the hall, but that was not where the lowly officials were. Mrs. Wu was sitting there.
Mrs. Wu was not ignored by anyone in the past, and even more so now. She no longer covers her head and face, wears a plain brocade dress, no makeup or hairpins, her black hair and snow-white face are the most gorgeous in the world, no accessories can give her Add luster.
Mrs. Wu often sits here, and this time there are two more people behind her.
?????????????????????? An old man who is over fifty years old with a face that understands the world but a sly look in his eyes, and a man in his prime who looks unruly but can¡¯t hide his lack of roots and vanity. Both of them are wearing green robes.
??Everyone looks at them curiously, but they look at everyone at a loss. They don¡¯t seem to know who they are and why they are here and what they are doing here.
Being distracted by the excitement, Jiang Liang blurted out and asked stupid questions, like a country boy who had never seen the world. Liu Fan, who was sitting on the side, felt his teeth itching with hatred and felt very embarrassed.
Mrs. Wu didn't say anything, and the official didn't look down on the country people at all. He explained to him seriously: "This is the big map, and this is our Huainan Road." After saying this, he pointed to another one. Screen, "There is also a map there, which is used by the military, a map of Gwangju Prefecture."
Jiang Liang stood up, cupped his hands and thanked him, then sat down, and the official continued to speak.
"The Jiang family from Guyuan, the Fu family from Liangcun, and the Jiao family from Yangzhou who came from other places to buy half of Qi Village." He pointed at the map of Huainan Road, "They all also?Preparing to leave, the news has been released. "
The prefect sitting in the middle sighed heavily: "Now it is clear that these people have united."
These are not the only aristocratic families that want to leave. They are waiting and watching, waiting to add fuel to the fire.
"How did the people react?" the prefect asked.
The officials in the hall stood up one by one and responded, their expressions as heavy as their words.
"Yesterday, one hundred and thirty people followed the Liao family out of the city."
"The number of people entering Gwangju Prefecture will be reduced by about three hundred according to the list sent yesterday."
¡°The merchants also left and spread the news. Many merchants who were on the way to come over immediately ran away with their goods.¡±
This is the most troublesome thing. Businessmen travel everywhere and are the best at spreading news.
The official responsible for managing the merchants stood up and saluted the prefect solemnly: "Sir, if this continues, there will be civil strife in Guangzhou Prefecture."
Some officials also stood up and saluted: "Sir, it's time to talk to these aristocratic families."
Many officials followed the suggestion, but some stood up to oppose it.
"This is exactly their purpose." A raw and powerful official said, "They just want to cause chaos in Guangzhou Prefecture and force the adults to bow to them. This is always the trick of these aristocratic families."
The officials here are all familiar with this trick. It is said that officials are in charge of a place, but because the officials are working in other places, the people who really control a place are the local wealthy families who have been in power for generations. The first people officials have to visit when they arrive in a place are It is these people who, with their help, can be in power safely, and everyone gets what they need.
This has always been the default rule of officials and local wealthy families.
So this time the government asked the aristocratic family for money and food, and the aristocratic family gave it to them. But when the aristocratic family wanted to exchange these contributions for the benefits they wanted, the prefect refused, and the rules were broken, and the aristocratic family stopped working. , to teach the government a lesson.
"These methods worked in the past, but now we are in troubled times." Another official also stood up and waved his sleeves, because in the troubled times he had seen battles stained with blood, and his people became a bit rude, "They don't dare at all. Really leave our Gwangju Prefecture."
So now it¡¯s a competition to see who can hold his breath and who can lower his head first.
There was a debate between the two parties in the hall.
The prefect glanced at Mrs. Wu who was sitting in the corner. Mrs. Wu never spoke, so he made a decision.
"Then ignore them and see how far they can go." He said, "Strengthen the patrols of soldiers and horses to appease the people."
Showing all the soldiers and horses, let¡¯s see who can perform this scene best and win the hearts of the people.
After the discussion was over, Mrs. Wu returned to the inner chamber. She did not express any opinions from beginning to end. Only when it came to soldiers and horses at the end, Yuanji stood up and said that everything would be in compliance with the arrangements of the adults.
Mrs. Wu Shao went back, and so did Jiang Liang and Liu Fan.
Mrs. Wu Shaofu and Yuan Ji were talking as they walked. Their voices were neither loud nor quiet. Jiang Liang and Liu Fan could hear them but were too embarrassed to listen. They were also restless and had their own random thoughts.
Mrs. Wu suddenly turned around and asked: "You came from the capital and saw more than me along the way. How do you think the current troops and horses of Guangzhou Prefecture are in Daxia?"
Perhaps it was the chaos caused by the aristocratic families that made Mrs. Wu uneasy. Jiang Liang did not reply directly to this or that one. Liu Fan was not polite and said simply: "Currently, I am in Daxia or third or second."
Mrs. Wu was a little curious: "Who is in first place? Who can compete with him?"
Liu Fandao: "Ankang Mountain ranks first, Jiannan Road is now third, but it may be second in the future."
Mrs. Wu asked: "Is it because of that baby Jiedushi?"
Jiang Liang, who had been silent all this time, snatched Liu Fan's words: "Young madam, don't laugh. It is because of this doll that Jiedushi can be ranked among the top two. If the baby does not get Jiedushi, it will be two days later." If you get it within a month, let alone second place, it won¡¯t have a place in the top three or four.¡±
Mrs. Wu said: "Really? It's so important for the baby to get the gift two months in advance."
Liu Fan gave a high-five: "That's right, as the saying goes: one step early, one step early, one step late, wait three years."
Jiang Liang was not to be outdone: "If we had not received the imperial decree so early, we would not have been able to mobilize troops before the rebellion for Xie En's entry into the capital, and we would not have happened to enter the Shannan West Road and be able to form troops to block the rebels from entering the southwest. ¡±
As soon as they started talking, they saw Mrs. Wu looking back and smiling. The sky and the earth turned ice and snow for a moment, and their words stopped abruptly.
Who can see such a smile without losing their composure?
Mrs. Wu smiled and turned around and walked away, leaving the two of them standing there.
"Only when King Zhou You plays tricks on the princes can he win a smile from a beautiful woman." Jiang Liang stretched out his hand and twirled his beard and murmured, "I didn't expect that I, Jiang Liang, could do it with just one word."
