Daming: Me!The auspicious beast unicorn of the old Zhu family

Chapter 96 To be a dog of a noble family?The death star above you is twinkling!
Five days later.

Time slowly entered February of the first year of Hongwu.

Due to the food shortage caused by consecutive days of drought, coupled with the fact that the local landlords and tyrants sold the food at dozens of times the price, earning huge profits!

The entire Shandong chief envoy, nearly 4 million people, are living in a muddle.

Those who are tenants in the powerful landlords' homes may have a slightly better situation.

after all.

their fields.

These tenants are also needed for farming.

If these tenants who are similar to 'slaves' are starved to death, or if they are so hungry that they have no strength, then they can't cultivate all the fields in their homes by themselves. The landlords and tycoons can still figure it out clearly.

Ordinary people either sold their land, sold themselves into slavery, or starved to death on the streets.

In contrast.

In the home of the powerful landlord, the lights are brightly lit.

There is a lot of fish and meat every day, so there is no need to worry about food shortages. Their granary is full of food. Even if they eat one bowl or pour three bowls, it is more than enough. The door dog, the food does not know how much better than ordinary people.

As the saying goes-

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

What I said is probably the current situation of Shandong Chief Envoy.

"Come, come!"

"Good wine and good food are all served, if you don't get drunk tonight, you won't go home."

"Haha, brother Kong is really in a good mood."

"Today we meet friends with wine and gather for a poetry meeting. After a thousand years, it will definitely be a good talk again, drinking and drinking."

"It's spring now, why don't we use spring as the theme and write a poem each?"

"."

Shandong chief envoy, the Kong family!
As the descendants of the Confucian saint Confucius, they have completely forgotten the responsibilities of their ancestors. They just indulge in the glory that Confucius created for them, and live a life of luxury and luxury every day. It's a group of vampires who live on the common people.

There is a lot of starvation outside, and the people are in dire straits.

The Kong family was brightly lit and full of voices. Of course, all the people gathered here were powerful landlords from the Shandong chief envoy.

The entire Confucian mansion.

Decorated with lanterns and festoons, beating gongs and drums, it was so lively.

Chicken, duck, fish, venison, all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas are placed in sequence, making people salivate.

even.

They still have extra thoughts.

A poetry meeting is held here to echo their so-called elegance and vulgarity.

Of course, the people who hold the poetry meeting here are generally of the younger generation. Most of them have no skills, they can only moan without illness, enjoy the glory and wealth, anyway, they have the assets accumulated by their ancestors, enough for them to live happily for a lifetime, even the emperor still They had to be asked to become officials.

And the older generation.

Basically, they are sitting in the back hall.

They have all passed their youthful days, so naturally they won't get involved.

"Da da da--"

Accompanied by the servants of Confucius.

All the steaming dishes were brought up one after another and neatly placed in front of everyone, a total of [-] dishes.

The richness of the dishes is even better than what Comrade Zhu ate.

If someone doesn't know.

Thought they were the real 'emperors'.

Before the Song Dynasty, both common people and nobles abided by the ancestral system and adopted a meal-sharing system.

However, later on, it was not known whether it was the increase in cooking methods, or the appearance of tables and chairs that promoted the emergence of the dining system. Even in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, even the royal family began to sit at the same table and eat together.

and so.

These landlords and powerful people did not share and eat them.

"."

The current head of the Confucian family, Kong Kejian.

He took a sip of the tea in his hand, and looked at the bustling situation at home, and couldn't help feeling satisfied.

The glory of the ancestors.

In my own generation, it is still very dazzling.

Everyone is willing to follow in the footsteps of the Confucian family. This has been the case since Kong Sheng’s generation until now. No matter how the dynasties change, their Confucian family can still enjoy prosperity and wealth. This is the name of Confucianism!
"Master Kong, I heard that the eldest son of your family has been recruited into the palace by the current Ming dynasty emperor?"

"Yes."

Kong Kejian nodded and said.

Today, he is 52 years old, and he can be regarded as half an old man in this era.

Coupled with his status as the Patriarch of the Kong Family, everyone around him respected him very much and did not dare to be rude in the slightest.

Between Yuan Dynasty and Ming Dynasty.

Since the final battle has not yet been carried out, the outcome is not yet known.

Therefore, he did not stand in line hastily, but chose to let his son Kong Xixue go to Yingtian City to meet the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and also put forward his own request——

There is a shortage of talents and a shortage of food.

These are all fine.

As long as you give us the Confucian family preferential treatment.

Let the children of the Kong family, even if they have not made any achievements, you can directly seal them into some important official positions, then they, the Kong family, can solve these problems and help you 'solve your worries and problems'.

As long as His Majesty nodded and agreed, their Kong family is still a famous family, and they are still the kind that hold the real power of the empire.

"In this way, there is a lack of officials in today's sages, and they will definitely recruit the children of the Confucian family as officials. Whether it is the world of the Yuan Dynasty or the world of the Ming Dynasty, the support of the Confucian family is indispensable. At that time, only some It will be much more convenient for us to seek various benefits in the future if we place our own family members on top of important positions in the imperial court."

"Hey! How can it be said that it is for profit? We are sharing the worries of the Holy One. Today, the Holy One has to thank us, hahaha!"

"It's a pole, it's a pole."

"Master Kong, there are some outstanding talents among the children of our family. Please give me some pointers."

"The so-called imperial examinations are only for those country bumpkins. We are different from them. At this time, not only do we not need to take the exam, but we even have to be invited by the current emperor. Shit, just assign us to important positions."

"There are more and more victims of disasters in Shandong's chief envoy, and the Holy One can't distribute so much food for disaster relief today."

"It's fine if he agrees, but if he doesn't agree, then he only needs a little encouragement to make the common people rise up, and when the time comes to cooperate with Da Yuan inside and outside, Da Ming may fall into the crisis of subjugation in an instant middle."

"Hahaha! Doesn't the emperor who looks majestic on the surface deserve to be our dog and be at our mercy?"

"I'm not willing to listen to you saying that. If others want to be our dog, they have to queue up. Zhu Yuanzhang is lucky if he has this kind of blessing, but he is from a humble background."

"."

perhaps.

Among the people present, they are all trustworthy accomplices.

So when these landlords and powerful people spoke, they were all outspoken.

In the words, there is no respect for Comrade Lao Zhu at all, they just think that he is a lucky pariah, they can respect you in front of outsiders, but they are contemptuous behind the scenes, and even plan to control him middle.

only.

They didn't notice at all.

In a certain dark corner, a group of mice with bright eyes lurks quietly, seeming to be secretly listening to their conversation.

Those guys who speak arrogantly, the death star above their heads is constantly flashing.
