Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 578
The time for talking about things passed quickly, and Zhu Yijun and Gao Wushi had been chatting for more than half an hour before they knew it.

Regarding how to make the first cut against Xungui Yintian, the pair of money fans basically reached an agreement.

At this time, Zhu Yijun felt that he had almost rested, so he said that everyone might as well go on walking-just now he was busy talking about things, but he didn't see anything.

But speaking of it, he just came out of Huangzhuang Bieyuan not too far away, so he couldn't see anything about the folk situation he wanted to see.After all, the Huangzhuang Bieyuan was built here to facilitate the emperors of all dynasties to visit Tianshou Mountain to pay homage to the mausoleum. Naturally, the accommodation of the accompanying team and the garrison of the accompanying troops must be considered, so ordinary residential buildings are not allowed to be built too close to the Bieyuan. .

However, Huangzhuang is not just a mere other courtyard, a large area nearby is within the scope of Huangzhuang—otherwise, how could it be possible to gather 500 million mu of land just by relying on one year of other courtyards?

The Yuma Supervisor is in charge of managing the Huangzhuang Huangdian. Although Chen Ju himself did not ask questions about Huangzhuang carefully, when Zhu Yijun planned to go out for a stroll, he had already called a young supervisor over. Usually responsible for the rent collection of Huangzhuang in the northern Beijing area, etc., I have been here a lot, and I am familiar with the geography.

The other courtyard was built along the Nansha River. According to Dong Shaojian, along the river to the west, there is a Shawan Village about two or three miles away.

There are [-] or [-] families in Shawan Village, about [-] people. It is not a big village near Gyeonggi, but it is not too small. The emperor wants to see the customs of the people, so this place is suitable.

In the middle and late period of Jiajing, because I Dao rushed into the vicinity of Gyeonggi at every turn, causing Gyeonggi to vibrate, so in order to prevent thieves and bandits, the surrounding areas of Gyeonggi also carried out several rounds of renovations, following the example of Minbao villages in Daming Bian Town. It is no different from a military fort, with the same defense system.Fort walls, fort walls, suspension bridges, gate towers and even urns, everything is nothing more than a simplified version, and the same is true for Shawan.

The wall built of loess rammed is considered tall and strong. The entire outer wall is nearly two miles long. The Nanbao Gate is the only entrance, and the gatehouse is arched with bricks and stones, standing tall.

Although the road just now was not far away, except for the occasional patrol passing by, there was almost no living breath. If it weren't for the accompanying people, there would be more than a dozen people. Gao Yushi even felt that this environment was very suitable for shooting ghost movies.

Walking to the Shawan area, I felt some anger in the world. I could see some men and women working around the village one after another. I don't know what they are doing until it is night.

However, when they saw Zhu Yijun and Gao Yushi and his group, everyone looked wary and looked up from time to time.On the fort gate or on the watchtower, there are still a few villagers watching and patrolling back and forth.

Zhu Yijun was surprised and said: "These villagers don't sleep at night, what are they busy with? Why are there still patrols? Is it not peaceful around Gyeonggi?"

This question cannot be answered pragmatically. He has been separated from the people for a long time, and has long since degenerated into a vicious feudal landlord class member. Perhaps he still has a certain color of the budding capitalism.

Chen Ju came from an ordinary peasant family - of course this may be nonsense, if he was from a landlord family, would he still need to be an eunuch?
So Chen Ju can barely answer what these people are busy with: "Your Majesty, these villagers are no different than the people in the capital. They don't have a curfew, so if some jobs can be done at night, they will probably choose to do it at night."

Zhu Yijun is a curious baby: "What can you do at night?"

Chen Judao: "There is moonlight today, and at night, men can chop firewood, carry water, and repair houses. Women can also do laundry, weave straw sandals, and so on. They can always make use of their time."

Zhu Yijun was puzzled, and said, "Can't we do it during the day, and must it be delayed until night?"

Of course Chen Ju knew the reason, but he was afraid to speak out, and was at a loss for words for a while.

Gao Wushi didn't have any scruples, and said indifferently: "It's late May, and the farm work is very busy. They must do things for the village during the day. How can they have time to do these chores at home?"

It was only then that Zhu Yijun realized that these men and women were working for his Huangzhuang during the day, and many things at home could only be piled up at night, relying on a little moonlight to do them.

He suddenly felt embarrassed, and glared at Shaojian Dong displeasedly.Although Dong Shaojian is only considered a "middle-level cadre" in the palace, but in this Huangzhuang in the north of Beijing, he is half the majesty of an emperor. Where would he ask about these specific arrangements?

He was so frightened by Zhu Yijun's stare that he wanted to kneel down, Zhu Yijun quickly called him back: "Don't kneel!"

Dong Shaojian quickly stood firm on his knees again, and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I don't know how the next arrangement is. I will come to ask tomorrow."

Zhu Yijun snorted coldly, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued walking forward.Strangely, although there were a few villagers patrolling, they did not stop Zhu Yijun and his party, and even gave way to them by saluting from a long distance away.

Zhu Yijun couldn't understand it, and asked pragmatically: "I'm wearing your Taoist uniform, and there are no logos and emblems. Why do they salute all the way?"

Gao Wushi said speechlessly: "Your Majesty, any set of clothes on you and your ministers is enough for them to save for several years."

Chen Ju interjected at this moment: "Gao Xiuzhuan was joking, they can buy this clothes from any family, and if they can save a set in ten years, they are regarded as a hardworking family."

Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, looked at Gao Yushi, then looked down at himself, and sighed softly.

The appearance of Shawan Village is not bad, at least it can bluff people, but it is only when you go inside that you can find the decay.The main street was full of potholes, making it uncomfortable for Zhu Yijun to walk. There were narrow alleys on both sides, full of low and dilapidated adobe houses.Garbage and chicken, duck and pig manure are everywhere, and there is an unpleasant smell.

Most of the men and women passing by had pale faces and numb expressions.A group of little boys playing around had no clothes on, just running around with bare bottoms.Not far away, there were a few four or five-year-old girls who were treated a little better than the boys, and wore extremely crude clothes—Gao Wushi suspected that they were not clothes at all, but in small sacks. Three holes were dug on the top, and they were put on directly like wearing a sleeveless vest in later generations.

Gao Yushi secretly sighed, Shawan Village is only forty miles away from the capital, and it is a naturally settled village in Huangzhuang. I am afraid it should be relatively rich, but it is like this, which shows the poverty of ordinary people.

Zhu Yijun's complexion was also ugly. He wanted to speak a few times, but he didn't know what to say. After a long while, he choked out a sentence: "Pragmatically, are the people in your hometown in Xinzheng like this?"

Gao Wushi sighed: "It's about the same, but Xinzheng County is not too big. Since I opened a coal mine in Xinzheng, many people will go to the coal mine to help workers during their slack, and they can earn some idle money. Usually, they can also be sold near the coal mine. Some homemade small things, the situation is probably slightly better than in previous years."

Zhu Yijun sighed, shook his head and said, "You all know how to take care of your hometown, but I haven't even taken care of the tenants in my Huangzhuang..." He suddenly lost interest in continuing to "understand the people's sentiments", and said in a low mood: "Be pragmatic, I'm tired, let's go back, we have to hurry tomorrow."

Gao Wushi was about to nod, but he heard the sound of horseshoes behind him. He turned his head subconsciously and saw three people and three horses jogging over from the south gate.

The man in the middle kept silent, raised his head slightly, and looked around proudly.The two attendants on the left and right were shouting: "The envoy from the palace is here, let your elders come out and answer!"
