Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 277 The tenant has an opinion (Part [-])
Daban Shengcheng was built under the auspices of Altan Khan, the leader of the Tumed tribe, and was constructed by Han craftsmen organized by Qiutong, a member of the White Lotus Sect who had taken refuge in Altan Khan.

In the 39th year of Jiajing, it was burned down by Liu Han, the commander-in-chief of Datong in Ming Dynasty.

Five years later, it was rebuilt by Bailian leader Zhao Quan and others.

In the following year, it was repaired and expanded again, and it was planned to be the place where Altan Khan "proclaimed himself emperor" and became the first political, economic and cultural center of the Tumed Ministry.

In the fifth year of Longqing, Altan Khan reached an agreement with the Ming Dynasty to seal the king, pay tribute, and trade, and seek another place closer to Datong to build a city.

The city wall is twenty miles long, and the Shunyi Prince's Mansion is the "Palace of Yuyu", known as the Pearl of the Grassland.

The Mongols called the city Kuku Hetun, and Ming Shenzong named it Guihua City (Hohhot).

Altan Khan built the city to adapt to the rapid rise of agriculture, handicrafts and commerce in the Tumed area.

If the Mongols want to build cities and obtain a large amount of food, they must rely on these Chinese craftsmen and farmers.

Otherwise, there is not enough food, and every time they go to the market, they have to exchange for a large amount of food.

Altan Khan even set up a mutual market point in Guihua City, hoping that the people of the Ming army would go to this city to trade grain every spring and autumn.

But most of the time, the food is smuggled by Shanxi merchants.

Ordinary people simply cannot afford the travel expenses along the way and the risks involved in such a journey of hundreds of miles and customs clearance.

Therefore, even though Hamubadur Taiji was wary of these group of Han people of the White Lotus Sect, he still had to use them.

To guarantee one's own interests, it is best to make money in harmony, and the desperate things are all done by the poor ghosts on the grassland.

The nobles on the grassland didn't want to use their swords. Many armors left over from the Altan Khan period were rotten in the warehouse.

Because a lot of wealth can be earned while lying down, who would want to grab it with a knife?
As the saying goes, wealth and charming eyes, how can there be so many thoughts of dominating the king!
After getting out of the tent, Batuburen Otoke looked at the herdsmen who were going away:
"Taiji is old and without the eagle's claws, he can only wait for death silently, but what he said is right."

"This matter needs to be reported to Lin Danhan and Su Nangtaiji quickly, and He Jinzhao's hungry wolf will be dealt with by groups of hyenas."

"Yes."

Batu Buren Etok looked at his slaves with his horsewhip. If these people dared to look enviously at the people who were going away, they should be taught a lesson.

Lowly rats do not deserve adequate food, which makes them lazy.

Almost all the remaining Mongols inherited the slave system of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, and both the lords and Otoks had a large number of slaves.

The White Lotus Sect is secretly developing these slaves, because they are suffering, so they yearn for the good life of their mothers.

It has been several days since He Jinchao killed Tian Zhao, the deputy general of Shanxi Town, and it has been more than a month since the policy was promulgated.

Under the iron fist of the staff officer Yang Yuxiu, the opposition of the gentry disappeared temporarily.

But tenants and military households also have a little emotion.

At the same time, Yang Yuxiu referred to the system in Hequ County and asked the gentry to come to Laoyingbao on limited days to change the contract of domestic slaves into an employment contract.

In fact, many house slaves also have concerns, fearing that their contract will be terminated, and then they will have no food to eat.

Because in today's era, the people's living environment is closed, the commodity economy is extremely poor, and the space for communication is generally limited to the range of ten miles and eight villages.

The life is roughly the living space from the kang to the ground.

Or get to know people through the social space of fairs, marriages, sacrifices, and temple fairs.

The relationship between the people is based on blood, geography, and business ties, and there are not many surnames in a village.

Many villagers belonged to the same clan, even relatives within five clothes.

When renting land, the owner first chooses the family members and close relatives as tenants, and the rent is relatively favorable.

They also usually provide assistance to tenants when they encounter difficulties.

This makes the host-tenant relationship reflect a certain warmth to a certain extent.

Therefore, in some villages with good landlords, many tenants feel that it is against human feelings and face.

Since ancient times, farming and paying rent have not broken their consciences. They are born to suffer and suffer, and paying less rent will not be of much use.

He Jinzhao was stunned when he heard Yang Yuxiu's retelling.

How can anyone be born with a life of suffering?

What a thought!

He Jinzhao wiped his face, he still needs to enlighten the wisdom of the people.

The landlord owed rent to the landlord for decades, and the landlord did not force him.

Now that He Jinzhao wiped out the old account, they have a hard time with conscience.

He Jinzhao didn't know whether these people who were used to being oppressed were simple, or if the landlord really had a conscience.

However, the tenants who have been in arrears for decades have not been reminded. He Jinzhao doesn't know whether it is the landlord who is humane, or the cost of silence is too high, which makes the tenants who are in arrears become uncles.

Of course, for landlords like the Li family he met in Haichao Temple, He Jinzhao did not implement his plan across the board.

Instead, he won the hearts of these very few landlords and recruited their nephews to serve as scribes in the Yamen.

At the same time, it also preaches like a gentry, as long as you don't do anything to oppress the people, I can use you.

Landlords seized their tenants from time to time, and the tenants were afraid that they would lose their land if the rent was waived in the future.

It seems to be taking advantage of it now, but when it is difficult, it will not be able to borrow money.

The people of Wanjiazhai dared to tell Yang Yuxiu that there was nothing we could do without rent exemption from the landlord.

It's better to leave some retreat for yourself; the rent-free son has paid King He's tax and provoked others.

Mainly one thought: Fear of changing weather!
They were afraid that the landlord would retaliate when He Jinzhao left.

As a result, either the owner and the tenants jointly concealed and dealt with the emissary, or the tenants hoped that the emissary would come forward to solve the problem on their behalf.

At that time, it will be us ordinary people who will suffer.

Because no one would ever think about it for them, the people in the government have always oppressed them!
Now King He treats them so well, they feel unreal and can't believe it.

He Jinzhao stood up and rubbed his head after hearing the feedback.

It is easy to march and fight, but it is really not easy to govern a party.

"My lord, the military households don't have any ideas, because they all think that the lord has the ability to kill the deputy general of Shanxi.

But for the tenants of these ideas, we still need to come up with a good constitution. "

Yang Yuxiu looked at He Jinzhao, because he also had some headaches. After all, it would be troublesome to kill blindly, and the people's will must be considered in governing the place.

"Wanjiazhai is united from top to bottom." He Jinzhao thought for a while: "Is there such a situation in other places?"

"It's very rare. Those common people know that the lord is like this, and they all call him Lord Qingtian, and they are very happy."

"I still need to go to Wanjiazhai in person to have a look and make a decision."

He Jinchao let out a long breath. The Chinese peasants have been submissive for a long time, and he has to correct their confused concepts. It’s not that he is poor!
