    The reason why aristocratic families can become aristocratic families is not only their wealth and land, but also their vast connections.

    The children in the clan each have their own strengths in business, education and family management. Through marriage, they make friends with more powerful families, and their relationships are spread like a spider web.

    ¡°It¡¯s just that being an official in troubled times is not as powerful as before. After all, many things are done with swords, guns and fists.

    But the officials around the emperor were still different.

    Tao Ran politely returned the courtesy to everyone: "I am here to convey His Majesty's enthronement, but not to Huainan Road. After completing the assigned tasks, I was worried about the old man and stopped by to have a look. This is a private matter at this time. We do not care about our official status.  Please feel free to do so.¡±

    He could do whatever he wanted, but of course everyone would not really do so and invited him to take a seat one after another. Tao Ran finally sat at the head of the guest seat as a junior.

    His status is not based on his seat, it is the same wherever he sits.

    "Master Tao is delivering orders and inspections on behalf of the emperor." Tian Qiye said, "Hearing that we were gathering here, I happened to come over to hear about the world."

    Tao Ran said with a smile: "This is just my personal wish. Matters in Guangzhou Prefecture will be reported to the prefecture and the commander in charge here. Please don't be cautious. Please feel free to do so."

    Since the conversation in the casual hall became more lively, and everyone asked about Linzhou and the emperor, Tao Ran was also happy to tell everyone about the dangerous and tragic siege of Linzhou, the power of King Lu in killing the enemy, the solemnity of the enthronement ceremony, the people of Linzhou  A stable life, etc. This is his mission as a commander.

    Everyone in the hall was nervous, sad, angry and excited, and finally shouted long live: "With Your Majesty here, Daxia will be worry-free."

    "Daxia still relies on you all." Tao Ran said, full of admiration and praise, "I have seen a lot of tragic situations along the way. I didn't expect that Guangzhou Prefecture can do so well. It can be said to be a land of peace and happiness, and all the princes should be proud of it.  "

    The expressions of the people present were complicated, and the topic finally turned here smoothly.

    "We don't dare to feel proud. This is the glory of Mrs. Wu and the prefect." A man snorted, "We just want to survive."

    Tao Ran smiled and said: "How can a place be stable without the villagers? Along the way, I have seen the villagers live and work in peace and contentment, and are courteous and courteous."

    "Master Tao," Tian Qiye said, "It's not that we are being modest. We have indeed contributed a lot. My Tian family alone has given out tens of thousands of silver and thousands of catties of grain. The numbers of everyone here are similar to mine.  A small amount is enough to feed a village's population."

    When he opened his mouth, others were no longer modest and rushed to report their own numbers.

    ¡°It¡¯s true, it¡¯s true.¡± Tao Ran stood up and saluted everyone, ¡°It¡¯s the princes who saved Guangzhou Prefecture and half of Huainan Road.¡±

    Those who were praised were not happy, but looked sad.

    "At this time of national crisis, everyone should do their best. We don't give money and food just to get praise." Tian Qiye said, "But people's hearts change people's hearts. Has Mr. Tao ever heard people mention me and others along the way?  "

    Tao Ran was a little hesitant: "I was traveling in a hurry. I only heard everyone praising Mrs. Wu, but I haven't listened carefully to the deeds of the princes."

    Someone laughed sadly and said, "The adults won't hear it."

    Tao Ran looked puzzled: "What do you mean?"

    Let¡¯s get to the point. There are no more scruples in the hall. They are either anxious or angry or sad, telling how they were asked for money and food by the government in various ways, how they were humiliated and not respected, how they were restricted by various restrictions on businessmen and buyers, how they were suppressed and lost their reputation.  Appear before the people.

    "The money and food were all taken by the government and given to Mrs. Wu."

    ¡°Every porridge vat in Guangzhou Prefecture has our rice grains, but no one knows that we are waiting for them.¡±

    "Now they want to take away our land again, saying that it will be borrowed and distributed to the refugees for farming."

    "If you say it's borrowing, it's obviously robbing."

    "We can't survive here."

    Mr. Tian Qi stood up and looked at Tao Ran: "Master Tao, if you come a few days later, you won't be able to see us."

    Tao Ran was obviously frightened by this call. When he heard this sentence, he thought of something terrifying: "What? You, what are you going to do?"

    "We are leaving here." Tian Qiye said, "Today we are all here to discuss where to stay and survive."

    Tao Ran breathed a sigh of relief and comforted himself: "Let's just say, Guangzhou Prefecture is not a rebel, how can something evil happen."

    "The evil thing is not just raising the sword." Tian Qiye said solemnly, "Guangzhou Prefecture forced us to leave, and we could kill without raising the sword. Fortunately, I have taken refuge with relatives and friends and found a temporary place for the people to live, but?Not everyone is as lucky as me.  "

    He pointed at everyone in the hall.

    "Those of us who have grown up in Gwangju Prefecture have a large population. Where can we find a place to stay in a hurry? What's more, these are troubled times."

    "We can only sell industrial servants. Your Excellency, you have seen a lot of wandering merchants these days, right?"

    Tao Ran nodded. There were so many merchants in Guangzhou Prefecture that they could be seen in the countryside.

    "Originally, they didn't dare to come. They thought something big had happened when they saw us moving. But the government appeased them and told them that we were leaving our hometown, so the businessmen came in droves again."

    Tao Ran was puzzled: ¡°Why is this?¡±

    "Sir, you are here to purchase our property." A man raised his hands and covered his face and cried sadly.

    It is impossible to take all the family property with you when you leave your hometown. There will be many things that are inconvenient to carry and will have to be sold, and even domestic servants will have to be sold. For businessmen, this is a good opportunity to make money.

    Tao Ran said: "The Linzhou clan also tried their best to provide money and food to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty also used all of it to save the people. It can be said that the monarch, the people and the clan worked together to overcome the difficulties, and everyone praised them for their happiness. What, how come youwhat?  That¡¯s about it.¡±

    "My lord, yes, why is it like this? We are forced to do this."

    "There are rebels running rampant outside, and there is no safe place. I didn't expect that Gwangju Prefecture would not be able to accommodate us and others."

    "The world is so big, the world is so big."

    "My lord, my lord, please let me go to Linzhou with you."

    Tao Ran was suddenly drowned out by cries and shouts in the hall. Tao Ran persuaded one person to support the other and kept retreating at a loss.

    The mansion here became noisy at night, while the Huang family¡¯s courtyard on the other side was as quiet as a deserted place.

    "It will take another seven days for the Liao family to complete the journey." A man in a long gown whispered.

    The white-haired old man Huang sat on a chair and waved his hands: "Let them finish in three days."

    The man in the long gown responded yes.

    Another man in a silk robe came forward and asked, "The Jiang family in Guyuan have almost finished attracting businessmen. They can set off at any time."

    Old Mrs. Huang waved his hand: "They are not in the city. They can leave as soon as they are in the county or town. Don't leave one by one this time. The momentum is almost built, so let the fire start."

    The man in the silk robe responded: "Don't worry, Sir, everything has been arranged."

    The young man standing next to Mrs. Huang handed over the tea: "Grandpa, would you like to ask Uncle Tao to meet Magistrate Song? Scare him."

    Old Mrs. Huang took the tea, with a calm and indifferent expression on his face that had accumulated over time: "No, if you want to scare, just scare the bigger officials and ask Xiaoran to set off back to Linzhou immediately."

    That is to bring this matter to the court and to the emperor.

    "No matter which official is replaced by Guangzhou Prefecture, it will still be His Majesty's Guangzhou Prefecture." Old Mrs. Huang said, "It will be the same no matter who is the prefect."

    The men present looked excited.

    "This time, I will let the man named Song walk around without food."

    "There is also Mrs. Wu. That Wu Ya'er is bent on inviting favors in front of the emperor. It depends on whether he indulges his wife or trains her."

    "A woman should stay at home with peace of mind. It's nothing to do with being outside all the time."

    Old Mrs. Huang stopped the noise: "Okay, don't talk about this. There is one more thing to do now."

    The men in the hall stopped and waited.

    "If the fire is going to burn strong, add some oil." Mr. Huang stroked the smooth armrest of the chair, "Let a few people die."

    On the third day of the twelfth lunar month in the fourth year of Daxia Chengyuan, bandits appeared in Liangcun, Jiangyuan County, within the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Prefecture, killing one hundred and thirty people.

    Gwangju Prefecture was shaken, and countless people fled.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
