Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 167 Most of them are obedient people, there must be a root for them!
Su Beihai's expression was even more angry, but he was helpless.

There were also some hecklers in the crowd shouting:
"Look at this mansion master, he is very stingy and mean."

"Don't let down the prestige of the officials!"

The old man screamed even louder on the ground.

"This carriage is so blind that it's going to kill the old man. My legs are probably broken."

"Murder! Where is justice?"

Su Beihai frowned upon hearing this, and once again took out thirty taels of heavy silver from his sleeve, and without hesitation stuffed it into the hands of an official beside him, with a bit of urgency in his gestures:

"Go, go!"

This time, the official did not throw the silver on the ground, but handed it carefully to the old man on the ground.

"Master Li, please stop using your magical powers today!"

The old man shook his hands, weighed the silver in his hand, smacked his lips, and said in surprise:
“Yo!”

"Master Su is really kind. This is real friendship!"

The old man was wearing tattered linen clothes, and the official helped him up.

"Don't help me, Grandpa can walk by himself!"

The old man climbed up on his own and brushed the dust off his trouser legs. His movements were smooth and skillful.

There's no sign of pain at all!
Yuwen Liqian's maid finally understood what was going on. Isn't this just blackmail?

In broad daylight, someone actually dared to intercept the prefect's carriage and perform such a drama in public. It really shows that the world is going downhill and such a ridiculous thing happened in Yan!

It's really outrageous!
The maid angrily said: "Princess..."

Yu Wen Li Qian ignored it, but her eyes noticed the subtle details.

Although the old man was wearing a linen robe to conceal his rough appearance, the inner collar of his inner garment was actually a silk brocade. Such details made it even more strange.

Yuwen Liqian looked at the porters in front of him. They were wearing ragged old clothes, and the exposed cuffs seemed to be made of fine material.

Most of the women were dressed simply, with the hairpins on their hands and heads covered in gold and silver jewelry and jade rings.

Some women, however, dress much more boldly, revealing their shoulders, chest-length collars, and bare thighs.

This is absolutely not allowed in Korea!
besides!
Su Beihai casually threw out a total of 40 taels of silver. You should know that in the past in Korea, a butcher's annual income was only 40 taels of silver, and a scripture teacher's annual income was only 50 taels of silver.

One tael of gold, ten taels of silver, and ten strings of money.

One tael of silver can be exchanged for 1000 wen.

Now under the rule of my father, the people's income has increased a lot.

One stone of rice costs 3000 to 4000 wen.

Now, with the increasing emphasis on farming, the price of rice has been falling year by year. At the beginning of the year, it even fell below 2,500 wen, causing countless great scholars from all walks of life to praise my father for his wisdom and the demeanor of a sage monarch.

Ramie, the lowest quality cloth, costs about 30 wen.

Linen, 600 wen.

The silk and satin worn by these coders are worth almost one or two taels of silver.

Yuwen Liqian is not a rich and powerful person in the palace, but a person who truly travels and studies and knows the sufferings of the people.

Ordinary people could earn 100 wen a day, and merchants could earn 250 wen a day, and both were considered rich.

Pork is 30 wen per pound, and fine noodles are 35 wen per pound.

Most of the common people barter!
The salary of a ninth-rank official in the court was 60 silver taels, which was slightly reduced to 50 taels from the ninth rank.

Only the eighth rank had 80 taels of silver, and the eighth rank had 70 taels.

The salary of a first-rank official was 2000 silver coins, which was only the salary granted by the court.

In recent years, South Korea has been promoting a frugal spirit, starting from the harem, and eliminating extravagance has become a common practice.

In contrast, the King of Yan actually did the ridiculous act of using twelve horses to pull a carriage.

It's really extravagant!
Yu Wenliqian shook her head slightly and glanced at everyone. She saw that they looked healthy and full of energy.

I walked along the way, but it seemed that I hadn't seen any beggars yet.

To know!
There are inevitably beggars in Kyoto, South Korea.

The old man who had just been "pretending" stood up, calmly sat down in front of the crowd, took out a pipe from his pocket, and began to smoke leisurely, puffing out smoke while looking at the carriage in front!
A huge crowd of people was blocking the road ahead, with no intention of clearing it.

Su Beihai looked at the crowd gathered around him, showing no signs of moving.

"Princess, don't worry!"

Yuwen Liqian just smiled slightly and said:
"Master Su, don't worry. We have come a thousand miles and will be here soon. We are not in a hurry." "Master Su, why did the Qing Gang come here this time?"

Su Beihai did not hide his words and explained:
"This is a long story, and it's related to two government orders from last year!"

"A few years ago, Jiakang's houses were half rented and half lived in. In recent years, local real estate prices have continued to rise. In the past ten years, they have risen more than tenfold. Not to mention this year, the prices of the best houses in the first half of the year were simply sky-high."

Su Beihai smiled bitterly and said, "In the past, if you worked hard for four or five years, you could buy a house with two courtyards. Now, I'm afraid you can only buy the stone lions at the door."

"Fortunately, last year the Prince of Yan's Mansion issued a decree that anyone who wants to buy or sell a house in the city must be a local resident of Jiakang City, and can only buy one house. The second house needs to be guaranteed by the government and cost 30% more!"

Yu Wenli nodded her head when she heard this. She knew very well that the housing prices in the Korean capital were high.

She was even more confused. What was the purpose of restricting local residents from buying houses?
Su Beihai's eyebrows showed a trace of helplessness: "This involves another more stringent decree. In order to control the impact of foreign population on Jiakang City, the Prince of Yan's Palace stipulates that anyone who wants to move into Jiakang City must first live here for a full year and pay a full year's labor fee to the Prince's Palace before they are eligible to purchase real estate. These two decrees run in parallel."

"But we still can't stop the number of outsiders who want to settle in Jiakang City. Nearly a million people flock here every year!"

Yuwen Liqian understood every word, but didn't understand their meaning.

"What does this have to do with the Qing Gang?"

Su Beihai realized that this Korean princess did not understand some of the policies of Yan.

"Princess, you can also understand that if some people in the surrounding counties buy houses in Jiakang, they will need to live in this place, and they will have to compete with the locals for some guys."

"Most of the Green Gang members are porters and carriage drivers. With more and more outsiders, most of the jobs they can do are these. In order to grab business, they will offer relatively low prices, which also leads to their wages getting lower and lower."

Yuwen Liqian probably understood that outsiders are naturally good at buying goods at a low price.

The Qing Gang must protect its own interests!
"Then why did they stop us?"

Su Beihai looked unhappy and said:
"The imperial envoy from Prince Yan's Palace is coming in the next few days, and the people in the Green Gang want to stir up some trouble and create some so-called public resentment. Prince Yan's Palace also has corresponding censors, and this is their favorite thing!"

"So today we were in such a hurry because we didn't get enough at the government office. Princess, I'm really sorry."

Yuwen Li was so shallow that she didn't care about these things. She probably understood!
It seems that what Su Beihai said is true, but what is happening now is still horrifying.

The people fought against the government in the streets!
It's a rare story for the ages!
Yuwen Li looked at the old man smoking a pipe in front of him. What was he doing?
The maid next to her also said angrily:
"If this kind of unruly person were in South Korea, he would be beaten to death on the spot."

In Korea, even the petty officials are arrogant, not to mention the officials themselves!
Troublesome little devil, feared by jackals and leopards!
If this happened in South Korea, such unruly people would be punished immediately. Etiquette and respect for hierarchy are the cornerstones of national order. Failure to bow to an official, regardless of his or her status, is considered disrespectful.

Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, parents and teachers are the three best. The Emperor is respected, he is above and the people are below.

Officials are awe-inspiring and the people should be in awe of them.

A great Confucian scholar once said that only when the people perform their duties can the country be peaceful and prosperous for generations.

In other words, if you want the people to live and work in peace and contentment, you just need to let them do one thing from generation to generation, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe!
Su Beihai noticed this and explained:
"The King of Yan is really good to the people under his rule. He has exempted most of the criminal laws in Yan Law and established multiple laws to protect the people."

"If there is no serious crime, arrest and punishment are not allowed, especially if local officials violate it, the crime will be aggravated."

"In addition, the King of Yan set an example for others, and as a result, these unruly people became more and more rampant from top to bottom."

Su Beihai sighed:
"I still envy the officials of the four countries. The people there are mostly honest and obedient, unlike the people of Yan who are familiar with the law and have many tricks."

"Nowadays, there are many private schools, and every household has children who can read. The Prince of Yan's Palace also sends officials to explain Yan Law to the people every month."

Yuwen Liqian listened to Su Beihai's complaints and looked at the soldiers around him wearing heavy armor and holding spears. They also held steel knives in their hands, with cold light shining, and stood like pine trees.

The roads were bustling with people.

Surrounding him were officials holding sticks.

The people were unarmed, but they showed no fear and were talking and laughing.

There were also naughty children who ran over and imitated the soldiers, jumping and skipping, but were chased away again.

As lively as a festival!
Yu Wen Li Qian was confused for a moment.

In her opinion, the people, as the cornerstone of the country, are often at the bottom of society and always appear weak and helpless when facing the government.

However, the scene before her completely overturned her concept.

They were facing a government office.

As soon as you enter the hall, you will be greeted by the terrifying sound of the killing stick. Who would not be afraid?

Half of the government office faces south!
how!
These people, who were talking and laughing, had no sharp weapons in their hands, but they dared to stop the prefect's carriage and openly confront the government. Where did they get their confidence from?

A towering tree must have its roots, and a mountain stream must have its source.

Even towering trees have their roots, and floods around the mountains have their sources.

She thought about it and it seemed like there was only one direction.

The ownerless Prince Yan's Palace, the Tomb of the Living Dead in Mount Zhongnan, and the Prince Yan who had practiced Taoism for ten years!
Lu Chen, who was then the Grand Guardian, returned to the north, where the people enjoyed cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle.

When the King of Yan went up Mount Zhongnan!
Ten thousand people burn incense, just like worshipping God!
