Old things: There are things outside the city in the palace, so that the officials and the people are in the city, and they are given to them. At the end of the Zhen Yuan Dynasty, the eunuchs were used as envoys to suppress the purchase of characters, which was slightly inferior to this estimate.
In the last years, he did not resume the paperwork, put hundreds of people in the two cities and wanted to make trouble, read the things sold by people, but called the "palace market", that is, he paid by hand, the authenticity is no longer arguable, and he did not dare to ask where he had been. will be in the city, until there are those who return empty-handed. It is called "Miyagi", and it is actually taken.
There is a farmer who sells firewood to the city with a donkey, and the eunuch calls it "palace market" to take it, only to take a few feet with silk, and then ask for the door, and still invite the donkey to send it inside. The farmer wept and paid for it with the silk he had obtained, but refused to accept it, saying, "Donkey you send firewood to the inside."
The farmer said, "I have my parents and wife, and I will eat after this." Now with firewood and you, if you don't take it straight back, you still don't want to, I just die!
"Then he beat the eunuchs. The street officials were arrested and deposed, and the farmer was given ten horses of silk, but the "palace market" did not change it. The official imperial history played a number of sparse advice, and did not listen.
On the first ascending to the throne, it is forbidden. to amnesty, and prohibited. Translation:
According to the custom, if there is a need to buy goods from the outside market, the relevant officials are ordered to preside over the matter, buy what they need from the common people who sell things in the market, and give the price at any time. In the last years of Zhenyuan, the emperor sent eunuchs to preside over this matter, and these eunuchs lowered ** to buy the goods of the common people, and the price was much lower than the ** of the items themselves.
Even in the last years of Zhenyuan, he did not show official documents, and the emperor directly set it up"White Look"This organization has about a few hundred people in the east and west cities of Chang'an and the bustling urban areas to see what people sell"Miyagichi"(i.e., bought by the palace), immediately take the goods to pay, whether it is true or false is difficult to distinguish, no one dares to ask them from the **, when they discuss the price with the seller, they can probably buy things with 100 yuan, to be worth thousands of dollars, but also to ask for the money to the gatekeeper when entering the palace gate and the freight transported into the palace. Some people brought their goods to the market to sell, and some even returned empty-handed. The name is"Miyagichi", but in fact it is forcible seizure.
There was once a farmer who used a donkey to carry firewood to the city to sell, and met a man who claimed to be"Miyagichi"The eunuch took the firewood and gave him a few feet of silk, and he had to ask for the entrance fee to the gatekeeper, and he had to send it to the palace by donkey. The peasants wept and gave the eunuchs the silk they had obtained, but they would not accept it, saying:"It must be sent to the palace with your donkey.
The farmer said"I have parents, a wife, and children, and I can only buy food to eat when I make money from donkeys and camels. Now that I have given you firewood, I don't want money and go home, but you still refuse, I have only one way to die!
So they beat the eunuchs. The officials on the street caught him, and then reported his matter to the imperial court, and the emperor issued an edict to dismiss the **, and gave the peasants ten horses of silk, however"Miyagichi"This practice has not changed either. The officials and the imperial historian repeatedly put forward their opinions, but the emperor did not listen.
As soon as Emperor Shunzong ascended the throne, he forbade it"Miyagichi"practice. Later, when it came to an amnesty, it was explicitly forbidden to do so.
