Cheng Chumo was so amazed that he had no idea how his boss did it.
Luo Zhang also sighed: "I really didn't expect to see Chang'an Daily on the border of Yangzhou. It feels very cordial."
The owner of the stall is a middle-aged man with a beard. His rough skin shows that he often does rough work. When he sees someone who knows the goods, he proudly said: "It means that some gentlemen have discernment. Don't hide it from these gentlemen."
He said, "This thing is called a newspaper. I am the only one here in Yangzhou. If you want to buy it elsewhere, you can't buy it."
Listening to the vendor bragging, several people quickly gathered around him.
They didn't believe what this vendor said. There were very few people who dared to set up stalls these days without bragging.
"Really or not? It's just a piece of paper, and it's the only one in Yangzhou? Are you bragging too much?" These people laughed at him, thinking that this thing was not worth much.
The hawker glared at his beard and started arguing with a few people: "You country folk don't know anything about the goods. Do you know what Chang'an Daily is? If you can tell me, I will eat it on the spot and never take it with you."
hesitate."
"this?"
When asked by the vendors, they really couldn't answer.
When these common people were questioned, Gang Jing Ben Jing immediately possessed him and retorted: "See what you can get. Can you tell me what magic power this thing has? No matter how high the price is, all my brothers bought it."
he."
The hawker smiled proudly and said, "I don't regret saying it. Several people have testified."
Qin Huaidao and Cheng Chumo nodded one after another, expressing their willingness to testify for the vendor.
The hawker then said: "Let us say that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty broke into the Tai Chi Palace that day and captured the tyrant Li Tai alive. He looked around the world from the Tai Chi Palace and saw that the people were all suffering. So he pointed out the country and the mountains and wrote words. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. This inspiration
This is not ordinary, it is a decree from the gods, asking your majesty to benefit the people of the world."
"Therefore, His Majesty proposed that all people are equal regardless of whether they are scholars, farmers, industry or commerce. He was afraid that this idea could not be widely spread to the people of the world, so he sent Xue Yuanchao, Xue Tanhua, the first emperor of the Han Dynasty, to found Chang'an Daily in Chang'an and spread it.
New ideas.”
"So the precious thing about this newspaper is not the paper, but the words on the paper."
"Understand?"
After the vendor finished speaking, he looked at several people with pride.
Several people shook their heads and sneered: "Everyone is equal? Let alone whether your Chang'an Daily is true, so what if it is true? The sky is high in Yangzhou and the emperor is far away, and Mr. Fuyin's family is the only one. Who is it?
Can anyone be greater than him? If you think like this, you can take it as a joke and do countless things."
Qin Huaidao heard the words of several people and became dissatisfied.
He turned around and looked at these common people and saw that they were dressed in beautiful clothes. Although they did not come from wealthy families, they were not ordinary people either.
The hawker was speechless when he retorted.
He was originally a boatman on the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. He followed the shopkeeper along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and was lucky enough to reach Henan Prefecture. This newspaper was also obtained in Henan Prefecture. As for the newspaper's statement, he heard it from others. How could he refute these people?
?
Seeing that the hawker was speechless, Qin Huaidao turned around and handed over to those people: "Everyone, you said that Yangzhou Prefecture Yin's family is the only one, is this true?"
Several people looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all afraid to speak.
The main reason is that Qin Huaidao and Cheng Chumo are tall and tall. Although they are wearing ordinary people's clothes, their aura is completely different from others when they go to the station. I don't blame them for thinking too much.
Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "You don't need to worry. My brothers and I are all passers-by who come to Yangzhou occasionally, and we have no interaction with Mr. Fu Yin. We have the right to talk like strangers today, and we will leave after the conversation."
Seeing this, a bold young man among the common people stood up and said: "Since ancient times, the king's power has been granted by heaven, and the emperor is the greatest. Below are the kings and officials, then to the local officials, clerks and servants, and then to the scholars and scholars.
Even the local large households are much more noble than ordinary farmers, and it is in this way that all levels constitute the entire society."
"Now in Yangzhou, Mr. Fu Yin has the largest official position, but his family is the only one. Even if the people below want everyone to be equal, it depends on whether Mr. Fu Yin agrees."
"Oh?" Qin Huaidao asked doubtfully, "Can it be that Mr. Fu Yin can disobey His Majesty's will?"
The man said: "Looking at your temperament, your status should be pretty good. It stands to reason that you should know more about this kind of thing than me. But since we have reached this point, I will say a little more."
"Of course Mr. Fu Yin will not disobey His Majesty's decree. It's just that Chang'an is so far away from Yangzhou. Even if Chang'an sends people here, it will take more than a month to travel by water at the fastest speed. With Mr. Fu Yin's ability, the huge basket can be filled.
, when the personnel sent by Chang'an can't find anything, isn't there what Master Fu Yin should do as soon as he leaves?"
Qin Huaidao frowned and looked at the man: "Don't the local people know to report the people coming from Chang'an?"
The man smiled: "Since ancient times, reporting has always been of little use. If the superior officials cannot be brought down at once, once the people from Chang'an withdraw, ordinary people will simply not be able to bear the cost of killing people and silencing them."
Qin Huaidao finally understood that due to poor roads and variable implementation of decrees, many of the imperial decrees might have turned into something completely different by the time they reach the lowest level.
This is also the fundamental reason why he chose to let the people participate in the Ministry of Representatives and wanted to build a three-horizontal and three-vertical cement road.
In addition to increasing commerce, shortening the time required for transportation between various places can more effectively manage various places, so that his political ideas can reach every land of the Han Dynasty.
but.
Seeing that this man had deep-rooted ideas, Qin Huaidao couldn't help but smile and said: "I would like to ask this gentleman, suppose that a field has not been cultivated for a long time and has turned into a hard clod of soil. What should we do with it?"
The commoner said: "Of course we need to wait for rainy days or water to irrigate, let the land soften first, and then plow the land repeatedly until the land meets the planting requirements."
"That's right," Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "No matter how hard the land is, I think you all can cultivate it. Even if the early harvest will be lower, as long as it continues, the bad land will eventually turn into good land. Your Majesty is actually doing it now.
The same thing, the idea that people have classes is like a hard ground that cannot be cultivated in the Han Dynasty, and this Chang'an Daily is the water that irrigates the hard ground. I believe that in the long run, people's ideas will eventually change, as long as each of you and me
Such ordinary people believe that everyone is created equal and do not do anything to bully others. Even if the farmland is bad, it can still be turned into good farmland, right?"
Hearing this argument, both the vendors selling Chang'an Daily and the hundreds of people arguing were all shocked.
