Chang'an in July is hot and noisy.
Every afternoon, it is the most lively time for the gossip party.
In the streets and alleys, inside and outside the market, in the shade of trees and in the shade, people gather in twos and threes to start talking about the length of their homes.
Usually, this kind of gossip ends up crooked to the intimate matters of Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace.
There is no way, the broad masses of working people will be fine.
Especially the people of Chang'an, who claim to be residents of Shenjing, are particularly concerned about the affairs of the court.
Just like the taxi drivers in the imperial capital of later generations, today's Chang'an horsemen have become the most well-informed and talkative group.
In a corner of the city, workers who had been given a chance to rest gathered and chatted as usual.
Chang Guangma sat on a stone pier, his mouth spitting.
Palace secrets, changes in officialdom, and even policy changes, came out of his mouth one by one, and the audience who said it was happy, and he himself was even more proud, as if he was the Jiuqing of the court.
"Brother Chang" someone suddenly asked weakly: "Then King Yan is really so powerful, I heard that even His Majesty said that the Huns called him the Tiger of Yuyang" "Fart" Chang Guang twitched the corners of his mouth and said: "That's the Son of Heaven for the deceased, for the sake of King Yan Jing's face, put gold on this Liu Dingguo's face."
"I have a brother who is in the army in the Yan Ji area this time" "It is said that this King Yan is not a hero at all, let alone a tiger of Yuyang, it is all thanks to Bo Gong, the governor of Andong Protectorate, that this shaft has such a thin name" As he spoke, he told King Yan's performance in Jicheng and Yuyang.
This kind of thing can't be hidden.
In particular, it cannot be hidden from the eyes of the people is like Zhao Guangyi's axe and candle shadow, and like a certain guy in later generations who is also known as the Tiger of XX.
Even if the rulers try their best to whitewash, the people are not blind.
What's more, today's historians are very professional, and the words they record have become the most powerful evidence.
Therefore, today, despite the royal family's desperate efforts to whitewash, scholars and the people have already known the truth.
And the vast number of onlookers who do not know the truth, and there are gossip parties who teach by word and deed.
Just like now, as soon as Chang Guang explained this, the people around him sighed one after another, revealing a look that was the same.
The Liu family has had heroes, but there are also wretchedness and cowards.
What a hero Emperor Gao was back then No, the family is unlucky, and there is an escape king Liu Zhong "I've heard about it, and it's true," an official who was supposed to be in charge of maintaining order here didn't know when, but he also squeezed into the crowd and said, "But I don't dare to say too much."
There is no way, the law of the country is that ordinary people can discuss it casually.
As long as it is not to curse the monarch and discredit the Son of Heaven.
The ruler cannot take care of it.
Because this is their power, the divine power endorsed by Emperor Taizong, Emperor Renzong, and the three successive sons of heaven.
But the officials who ate the imperial grain and the scholars and nobles who studied did not have this power.
If they dare to spread and discuss the government in private, it will be disrespectful at worst.
In short, there is no good fruit to eat.
When the "Wang City Official" saw this official, Chang Guang hurriedly got up and saluted, and then leaned over and asked: "City official, I heard that the Son of Heaven wants to rebuild Chang'an City, the nine cities of Chang'an and Zhulu, all of which must be renovated."
When the others heard this, they all pricked up their ears and cheered up.
The King of Yan and the King of Qi are too far away from the people today, and it is a pastime to talk about their scandals and gossip.
However, the transformation of Chang'an City is a matter that involves the vital interests of everyone.
In particular, legend has it that the Son of Heaven wanted to reorganize the entire slums and markets of Chang'an and build new houses for all those who had a Chang'an hukou.
If this is true, it is a great virtue policy It's just that The people always feel unsteady in their hearts.
After all, everyone knows that there is no pie falling from the sky.
New house, new Luli, safer and more comfortable.
Everybody wants it But the question is, what does it cost you?
Wang Shiguan smiled when he heard this, and said, "Chang Guang, you are quite well-informed."
He sat down cross-legged, and immediately a worker diligently poured him wine, and even served a plate of pickles.
Wang Shiguan picked up the wine bowl, took a sip, and said: "I don't know much about this matter, but Shangguan has already received an order, and this straight city will be demolished next winter."
"That's the case," the crowd's eyes widened.
The stories of these years tell everyone that if a certain rumor is partially confirmed, then the other rumors will be about eight or nine or ten.
Just like at the beginning, the Son of Heaven wanted to engage in a fake cow and fake horse policy, at the beginning, countless people didn't believe it, thinking that it was just a rumor.
But as a result, overnight, the entire Guanzhong government office posted notices, and even officials went to the countryside to beat gongs and drums to inform the people of relevant laws and policies.
However, in the entire Guanzhong, all eligible families who could fake horses, cows, and farming tools were given the livestock and farming tools they wanted.

Even those families who do not meet the requirements, there are also many people who mix up cows, horses and farming tools through various connections and good words.
Although, everyone was saddled with the debts of the imperial court for this.
Every year, when paying taxes, you have to pay off your debts with an extra amount of money or in kind.
But everyone was willing, and they were willing.
"This is indeed the case" Wang Shiguan nodded, then lowered his voice and said: "I heard that this time, the transformation of Chang'an City, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to Shaofu and Neishi, saying that he wanted the merchants of the nine cities to contribute half of the money, and the treasury to pay some, and then levy a new house fee of several thousand yuan to each household."
Basically, the statement of this Wang Shiguan is not much different from the plan of Shaofu and Neishi.
It can also be seen from this that in today's Han bureaucratic system, to what extent the gossip party has penetrated But it can't be helped, this is China.
The masses of the people have always been very enthusiastic about politics and court secrets.
There is no way to put an end to it Because, since Liu Bang, it has been like this.
It's hard to change it.
And when they had heard it, you looked at me, and I looked at you, and felt that what the king had said was about to be credible.
But here's the thing "Wang Shishi, the merchants of the nine cities are willing to give this money willingly" Chang Guang asked in disbelief.
Everyone else nodded.
The merchants of the nine cities of Chang'an are the employers and parents of everyone.
What virtues these people have, everyone still doesn't know On weekdays, I can't wait to make the workers' wages as harsh as possible and pay as little as possible.
For three or five dollars, they can give up their faces.
Want them to bleed It's hard, I'm afraid The official Wang took a sip of wine and said mysteriously: "When the time comes, there will be no businessmen."
He smiled: "After the relocation of the shops in the nine cities, I heard that the Son of Heaven wants to imitate the example of the school district house in Maoling, and openly bid for the price, and the one with the highest price will win."
"Ahh But when you think about it, it's really the work of today "Holy Son of Heaven" Many people sighed, and some even kowtowed to Weiyang Palace: "Your Majesty is holy" They know that if this is the case, then they and their families will probably be able to say goodbye to the shacks and dirty and dangerous places of the past and move into a new, clean and spacious new home.
Future generations may have the opportunity to go to school or learn a trade.
And the Son of Heaven who provided them with this opportunity is really gracious and recreated.
And similar discussions and trends, these days, are gradually spreading in the Chang'an market and Luli.
In general, this is the pattern.
A well-informed old driver, coupled with a government official, the two echoed one by one, quietly, stirring the nerves of the public, and gradually formed a momentum.
Tremendous momentum.
And as soon as this general trend is achieved, it immediately forms an irresistible force.
At this time, the internal history and the yamen of the Shaofu immediately passed a notice to the large and small merchants in the nine cities of Chang'an.
Especially those big businessmen who owned shops, all of them were told that the Son of Heaven decided to reform Chang'an's attitude.
The nine cities of Chang'an will all be relocated and rebuilt.
At the same time, the nine cities of Chang'an will expand in size, and they will be closer to the noble district and the palace and other places of wealth.
And such a decision is undoubtedly something that the businessmen of the entire Chang'an have been longing for for a long time.
They had long hoped that the state would revamp their bazaars and allow them to expand and build more and bigger shops to make more profits.
However, the Han family has always been full of discrimination against businessmen.
Especially the nobles and doctors of the court, although each of them liked their money, in the court and in public, everyone was eager to kill them all.
The typical representative is the group of cool officials of the Legalists.
For example, Chao Cuo has publicly stated more than once that gold and jade, cold and cold, hunger and food, and businessmen lead people to evil and cause chaos among the people, and the state must severely crack down on and restrict them.
In every book of the Legalist giants, they are all about killing and killing businessmen.
Countless people say that the problem in the world today lies in businessmen.
Kill all the merchants, and the world will be beautiful, peaceful, and free from hunger and oppression.
Merchants have said that I bought a watch last year.
Even the Confucian giants, who have received countless sponsorships and subsidies from businessmen, are also twisting and kneeling with the decision of the Legalists, and have said that brother, you go first, and I will wave the flag for you, junior brother.
There is only the old Huang faction, although he doesn't like businessmen, but he doesn't bother to care about businessmen.
As long as the businessman doesn't break the law, the old Huang school doesn't bother to care what the businessman does.
In this situation, the businessmen do not want the state to expand the nine cities of Chang'an and give them a better business environment and convenience.
It would be nice not to wave the butcher's knife and kill them for the New Year.

It is only in the last two years that the Son of Heaven has promulgated the law of peace, and the status and treatment of merchants have improved slightly.
But what has improved is only the living environment.
As for political status It's still the same Only those who paid huge commercial taxes to the Son of Heaven were barely able to have status, and they could not be discriminated against and oppressed by the magistrates.
The two fathers of Linqiong have become business idols in the new era.
Everyone is desperately cultivating their daughters, hoping that they can be like those two and rely on their daughters as valuable.
Now, the country suddenly wants to expand the nine cities of Chang'an, and the merchants of the entire Guanzhong know that they are afraid that they are going to bleed.
Sure enough.
In the official document of the government, it was clearly told to all merchants that the shops of the new bazaar would be uniformly marked and the one with the highest selling price would be awarded.
The proceeds of the auction will be used to build a new Chang'an.
Although the government painted a big cake for the merchants.
What, the expanded market will be larger than the original, the traffic will be more convenient, the safety is more guaranteed, and it will be close to Qili monk Guanli or something. but I'm going to have to pay for it Moreover, I'm afraid it's not 120,000 When I think of those yellow, orange and orange cuties, they are going to fall into the hands of others, and everyone's hearts are uncomfortable.
In particular, when everyone heard that many of these cuties would become new houses and new underground ditches for mud legs, it was even more uncomfortable in their hearts.
"Sending people to contact Confucianism" Many people immediately made a decision: "Our annual funding in the past is not for Confucianism."
"If you take our money, you will do something for us" In the minds of most businessmen, especially big businessmen.
The nine cities of Chang'an, of course, must be expanded.
But, this money, they can't come out If you want to go out, the country will come out They just waited for the new bazaar to be built and moved in Want them to pay There is no heavenly principle and no royal law In a word, if you want them to pay, there is no way They would rather use the money to bribe officials and buy academics than that Because, they know, once this kind of thing starts, the country tastes the benefits, and they will be unable to stop.
In the future, I am afraid that when something happens, the emperor and the country will think of their money bags and cuties.
It's worth it Chinese businessmen have been extremely intelligent and intelligent since ancient times.
In ancient times, there were Tao Zhugong, Bai Gui, and Lü Buwei, and in modern times, there are top figures such as Zhuo Wangsun, Cheng Zhengying, and Shi Dan.
Which one is not a smart person who is far beyond ordinary people But it's because it's too smart.
So, these guys often get into dead ends.
"Send someone to inform xx waiting" There are many people who are the white gloves of some nobles, and when they hear the news, they immediately send someone to inform the backers behind them.
Anyway, the benefits, they are not going to let go.
But want them to bleed They must be wallowing on the ground and sprinkling scoundrels.
Historically, Emperor Wu lowered his posture and almost pleaded, wanting merchants and wealthy people to pay to alleviate the military spending dilemma and financial crisis.
However, in the whole world, there is only one Bu Shi who is willing to pay. outcome Bu Shi became the Imperial Doctor.
And the rest of the people, including the merchants and the nobles behind them, were all reduced to nothingness in a turmoil.
But they didn't learn their lesson, and it will remain the same for years to come.
So, in fact, the reason why Chinese merchants and merchants have low political status and are discriminated against, and they are slaughtered like pigs.
Of course, there are social and cultural relationships.
But the merchants themselves are not innocent t1706231537:
