Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 526 Ringworm and scabies
They don't have much money, and many of them just bought a lottery ticket, but with so many people, the final total sales far surpassed the capital, reaching more than [-] taels, and they didn't win the special prize, so the profit reached four in one go. As much as a thousand taels.

Ma Shiying and Nanjing eunuch Lu Jiude were very surprised about this situation.But Wang Dehua was not surprised, and explained to the two of them: "According to the information our family has heard, these hidden households in the south of the Yangtze River do not buy lottery tickets to win prizes, but to open free schools for the imperial court. children can go to school.”

After a pause, he also said with emotion: "If you want to talk about the atmosphere of reading, the place in the south of the Yangtze River is really the best!"

In other places, if the children of the family go to study, they will consider whether the family will have less labor; but it is not the same here in Jiangnan. Those who can let the children go to study are desperate to let the children go to study.The popularity of reading is the highest in the Ming Dynasty.

For this reason, Wang Dehua also asked his subordinates to understand.Probably know the reason.

The south of the Yangtze River is rich in products. Compared with the north or other barren places, one person's labor can basically support a little more people.

In other words, Jiangnan has the material conditions to send children to school.If it is difficult to feed like a barren land, then there is no need to go to school, and it will not work for free.

Also, there is another reason.On the Jiangnan side, the economy is relatively the best.In other words, it is relatively easy to find a job.

In this way, a person who can read and write will be obviously more popular than an illiterate person under the same conditions, and there will be relatively more jobs to choose from, and the pay will be relatively higher.

Wang Dehua also learned that hermit households were not registered with the government before. If they want to have a family background, they must rely on the master's family. Basically, it is impossible to get rid of the master's control for the rest of their lives.

Now, they don't have this limitation, so they naturally hope that their children will be able to succeed one day.

Since ancient times, reading has been the most common way to change your destiny.It's just that in the past, there were still too few people who could afford to read.

Nowadays, there are free schools where children can learn. These people who were originally hidden households are naturally the most welcome.

Buy a lottery ticket, send your kids to school for free, and possibly win the lottery.For people in Jiangnan who are more able to settle accounts, it is naturally the most cost-effective.

Wang Dehua has actually written a memorial for these things and the reasons behind them, and sent them to the capital.

Needless to say, he was able to be the eunuch in charge of the superior ceremony back then, relying on observing words and demeanor, being able to please the emperor, and gaining the emperor's trust.But later, the road went wrong.

Now Wang Dehua is under the pressure of crisis, firmly grasping the preferences of Emperor Chongzhen, and doing things that the emperor would like. For him, it is actually not difficult.

He believed that after this memorial was handed over to the imperial court, Emperor Chongzhen would think that he is a person who can handle affairs even more!
For today's emperor, at least Wang Dehua knows that since Emperor Taizu appeared, the previous simple flattery and the like are no longer useful, what is needed is this kind of practical work.

But what made him a little regretful was that Wang Chengen was always by the emperor's side, and now even Li Ruolian, the commander of Jinyiwei, had received the order to go back to the capital, while he continued to stay on Jiangnan's side.

There is still a long way to go to regain the emperor's trust and reuse it!
Thinking of this, Wang Dehua felt a little melancholy.

........................

Not to mention what happened to Wang Dehua's side, but to Sun Chuanting's side in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty. After receiving his memorial, Emperor Chongzhen also returned it to him, clarifying the matter of Emperor Taizu's apparition.

This made Sun Chuanting very excited. He never thought that he would experience such a miraculous thing in his lifetime.He is also full of confidence in Daming's future.

He finally didn't have to worry about going to the court, or worrying about the fire in the backyard, so he could concentrate on his immediate affairs.

Now Li Zicheng's thieves have basically entered Guizhou and Guangxi under his driving, and a very small part of them have entered southeast Sichuan, but they were beaten back by Sichuan soldiers.

In the southwest of Huguang Province, there are actually quite a few chieftains, such as Baojingzhou Xuanweisi, Shizhouwei and Chenzhoufu, where there are many chieftains.

As planned before, these chieftains were caught by surprise, and Li Zicheng's troops were rushed away by the desperate Li Zicheng. Not only the property was looted, but the population was also looted.

When Sun Chuanting's army arrived later, they basically just accepted a piece of unowned land, at most a small number of people who escaped into the mountains and forests to escape disaster.

Regarding these places, Sun Chuanting naturally would not be polite, and did not confirm whether the chieftain was still alive, and directly announced that the land would be changed to return to the local people.

For Sun Chuanting, rectifying the place was really easy.

The bandits under Li Zicheng plowed the front, and the wealthy landlords and squires were even more targeted by the bandits.Even if there were escaped ones, it was impossible to keep the title deeds, so Sun Chuanting was left to deal with those grain fields.

However, there are also some troubles, that is, the squires who escaped and ascended to heaven, or their descendants, will definitely not do it if they want to confiscate their grain fields after seeing the imperial army arrive.Thinking of various methods, wanting to return to their grain fields.

There are those who cry and beg;

If it's just that there are few people, it's nothing. Who can do anything to Sun Chuanting who holds a heavy army?

However, as more and more places have been rectified, little by little becomes more, and gradually, there are more and more people like this.

Although Sun Chuanting can still ignore them, after all he not only has the military power in his hands, but also a very trusted courtier of Emperor Chongzhen, who can do anything to him?

However, after all, there was a swarm of flies constantly "buzzing" around him, which annoyed him a bit.

What bothered him the most was that these squires and related people were able to read and write, and they could not help him on the surface, so they began to arrange him and attack him with the brushes in their hands.

Said that he was cold-faced Yan Luo, a black-hearted cruel official, and so on.

The most important thing is that Sun Chuanting has not been cruel enough to arrest or kill these people like the factory guards.After all, these people have also been thieves, and most of them are people with fame. If you want to do this, you have to have a reputation, and you can't just make it up, otherwise, the pen can kill him.

On this day, when Sun Chuanting was about to leave, when he moved from Baoqing Mansion to Jingzhou, it was Li Yan again, with a smile on his face, rushing over to meet him with a gift.

"My lord, wonderful, wonderful!"

Before this person came close, the happy voice came over first.

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he turned his eyes away from the map hanging on the wall, and turned his head to look outside. Seeing Li Yan's happy expression, he couldn't help being a little curious.

The last time I saw Li Yan so excited was because I knew about the appearance of Emperor Taizu and the most holy teacher. This time, although it seems that I am not as excited as before, it should be very good news.What news will this be?
"My lord, those unscrupulous squires can be punished!" Li Yan approached, said excitedly, and handed the things in his hands with both hands.

When Sun Chuanting heard it, he couldn't help being a little curious, so he reached out to take it and read it.

But Li Yan was still excited, and explained to him: "Governor Ma is going to rectify the place in the south of the Yangtze River, re-measure the land, and register it. It's a good way! Let's talk about their tax payment. If they think , Those grain fields are theirs, so check their taxes. Students can guarantee that they will not have any taxes!"

Li Yan hated the local tyrants and evil gentry no matter whether it was because of the influence of the red lady or his personal experience.Now that he is a member of Sun Chuanting, he is naturally very angry seeing Sun Chuanting being poked with pens by those people.

It is of course very happy to have the opportunity to clean them up.

"This move is really high!" Li Yan said, and gave a thumbs up, "Governor Ma is really powerful!"

While listening to him, Sun Chuanting had already read the situation in Nanjing, and he showed a hint of admiration with his expressionless face, but his thinking was still a little different from Li Yan's.

I only heard him say to Li Yan: "I can assure you, this matter must be His Majesty's will! As for Ma Shiying, he dare not deal with those nobles in Nanjing like this!"

There was another word in his mind that he didn't say.Although this idea is His Majesty's will, the source must not be His Majesty, but Emperor Taizu's advice!
For the current emperor, after the appearance of Emperor Taizu in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, there are often sudden and magical tricks.For these miraculous tricks, Sun Chuanting actually attributed them to Emperor Taizu's instructions.

Li Yan was taken aback when he heard it, and after thinking about it carefully, he also understood a little bit.

On the Nanjing side, there are very famous Founding Dukes like Wei Guogong, and there are not a few of those nobles owned by Danshu Iron Coupon.How could ordinary officials be against so many nobles, unless it was the emperor's will!
After thinking about this, he also praised: "There is nothing more holy than Your Majesty!"

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he smiled lightly, and without saying anything, he ordered him: "You should deal with those people's affairs according to the tax rules!"

To him, this is just a disease of ringworm and scabies, and it doesn't deserve his too much attention.

On the contrary, after Li Zicheng's troops rushed into Guizhou and Guangxi, there seemed to be some signs of abnormality in the military reports from the front, which was more likely to attract his attention.The same is true, his headquarters will move forward so that he can command nearby.

Here in Guizhou, there are basically four basic types: plateaus, mountains, hills and basins. Among them, plateaus and mountains are mostly, known as "eight mountains, one water and one field".
