Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

"The county lord said that in order to support General Rong Chengbo's food and grass, the county's food and grass are all empty, so we can't ask the county magistrate, the second master, the third master, the fourth master and other masters and their families to go to the northwest wind? "

"Should the food of the boarding students in the county be guaranteed? You can't ask the masters of the students to stop for a while... How did the master say it? These students are the vitality of the country. No matter how injured the people are, they will always recover in the future One day, if the vitality is hurt, it will be difficult for the country to recover."

"We don't understand these things, and I won't talk nonsense with you. Our inner villages are only in these towns, and there are still some grains and people in the villages. Each of you will hand over half a stone of grain, and the silver is five taels. , this price is cheap for you guys, fine grains, you can’t buy them without a dozen or twenty taels!”

These officers, as well as the Chief A and the head of the village, are all very familiar with the people in the market, and they can call out their names as soon as they open their mouths. Sitting on a spring stool, holding a small purple sand teapot, drinking slowly.

These guards were not polite, they threatened at first, so that people in the market did not dare to escape, then searched from house to house, if they couldn't find them, they were slapped in the face, and then they were whipped, no matter who they were, no matter who they were crying, Or kneel down and kowtow, in the end it is inevitable that food or gold and silver will be found. [

The woman who became the golden hairpin just now, fortunately, has already brought her food and came here. Seeing something wrong, she hid beside Zhang Shouren and the others. Seeing that there were a few passing officers and soldiers watching the excitement here, they did not come to harass her. , the woman was lucky enough to escape unharmed.

In such a situation, Sun Liangdong and others don't say anything, but Zhang Shifu and Zhang Shiqiang, who have always been mature, are all jealous.

Among the crowd, only Lin Wenyuan and Qu Rui roughly understood Zhang Shouren's meaning, everyone was talking about running away the guards, and when the relief was released again, only they were silent, quietly watching what happened, just watching from the sidelines The two of them also intentionally or unintentionally protected the woman carrying a small bag of food. This small action could not escape Zhang Shouren's eyes. When he looked at the two, his eyes moved with a soft light, Nothing stops them.

"Let's go, you poor ghosts, you don't usually manage the crops well, and now you are all looking for death and work, what are you doing? Why does my uncle Huang have thousands of stones in storage at home?"

Seeing that it was almost done, the sitting team leader stood up, and smiled at the numb people who had been tossed about: "We still have to see if everyone can live their lives..."

"This slave, really damn it."

Zhang Shouren shook his head, smiled wryly and said, "At this time, he is still flirting with the hearts of the people, can't he see that the people around him look like they want to eat him alive?"

Qu Rui said: "My lord took us all the way north, I'm afraid we will see more and more of this kind of eyes."

"So what?" Sun Liangdong said disapprovingly: "No one leads, no matter how angry they are, they are still a flock of sheep..."

Speaking of this, he was terrified, obviously remembering Zhang Shouren's previous arrangement.

Li Zicheng, this well-known thief, who let him go on the side of the Han River?If the Fushan Army insists on attacking, with the ability and means of the Military Intelligence Department, it will be very easy to wipe out Li Zicheng's troops with less than 1000 people...

I understand that I understand, but I dare not say too much.And the team leader surnamed Huang who was present sputtered wildly for a while, just to tell these ordinary people to live in peace and do farming, and manage it well, so that they don't wait until the next time Uncle Huang comes over, and then make a fool of themselves.

As for the captured people from each family, since they have food or money, Team Leader Huang also promised not to abuse them, but whether they can survive depends on whether their families send food... Daming's prison is a real prison. Prison food is not provided, unless it is an important serious criminal who has not yet concluded his trial and has no family members or even neighbors. However, such things are rare after all. Now there are thousands of people locked up in the prison in the county town, and there is no room for them in the prison. , as well as the Town God's Temple and the Academy, all the places that can detain people are detaining people. If the county provides food and drink, it will become a loss-making business, so it is better not to arrest people.

Seeing the few things left in the house being robbed, and relatives wanting to deliver food, otherwise they will surely die, and they will have to suffer before they die. Thinking of this, even hard-hearted people can't bear it. These servants haven't left yet , There are already many people crying and rushing to the ground.

It's just that when I was crying just now, I felt like I was acting a bit after all. The crying at this time was unbearably sad. Many people cried tears and snot all over the place, but they didn't even wipe it off. Weeping sadly, some people fainted, some people cried and cursed, the whole area around the city has become a hellish place.

"I'm dead, Ah Da Er Er, I'm sorry for you!"

It was the strong man who had just been threatened to lock up his two sons. After crying for a while, with a look of determination on his face, he slammed into the wall, and with a bang, his entire head was smashed.

"This rammed goods, the food has been handed over, and they are looking for death."

This kind of tragic event, Huang Bantou has seen it countless times in the past two years, and his heart has long been disturbed. Looking at the dead body is nothing. Said: "What are you doing with your appearance? This is the emperor's grain, not for my own family. This is for the emperor's grain, which is a proper tax! Even if these are found today, your family still owes the boss a sum of taxes. Take this ghost as an example, his family has more than a dozen dings and owes more than ten years of taxes, if the county magistrate is serious, even if his family sells the house and land, he will not be able to pay in full... This is already cheap enough. "[

What Huang Bantou said was spitting, filled with righteous indignation, and he became resentful. After seeing everyone retreating, he was satisfied, stroked his belly, and said with a smile: "It's good to pay taxes after giving birth, ordinary people, how dare you fight against the government?" Did you resist the magistrate of the county? Even if you disrespect the magistrate, there are lords in the mansion, the province, the court, and the emperor. The emperor wants this food. You people, you I thought it was the elders who brought the food to their own homes? The imperial grain tax is to be handed over. How can the elders make a fortune on this? It’s all because of Huang Zi’s examination. If you don’t rush to compare you, the master will have to eat it himself. Hang Luo, if he spared you, can the emperor spare him?"

This guy was probably a chatterbox, after rambling on for a long time, he brought some people, called a few cars, and loaded the things he had found into the car, and the group went away complacently.

After all, many people escaped in this chaos, but the Li Changjia Chief was very clear about the people who disappeared just now, and called them one by one in the meantime. If you escaped this time, there will always be a next time. Those whose families did not go out to flee the famine were all detained. If they left and ignored them, their relatives would either be tortured to death or starved to death. Anyway, they must have died a miserable death.

If it weren't for this kind of wicked trick, the people in this county might have disappeared, of course, except for the rich and powerful and those who eat official meals like Huang Bantou.

"Hey, the dog eats up the plaintiff and then the defendant. Someone sued and took half of the village to the county, tortured and then asked for money. As long as there is a lawsuit, he can buy dozens of acres of land. Will he manage crops? He Will fuck his mother!"

Someone started to scold first, and then everyone scolded together, from the general manager to the head of the village, to the heads of the various squads, the masters, and then to the masters in the county, and then to the elders in the county. Everyone was forced to die, so of course we had to let out a bad breath before talking.

"Hey, my lord, take us out of here."

Lin Wenyuan is reluctant to be born except at the beginning when he introduced people to the city.They stayed at the exit of an alley, and no one came out, so it didn't matter if they were scared.

This is a big town with a thoroughfare, so there are too many people coming and going. It is not surprising that there are a few officers, soldiers and generals. There are even a few bean food sellers who want to solicit business. They ask Du Fuhu to persuade them to go back. up.

After seeing the strong man hit the wall and died, the corners of Lin Wenyuan and others' eyes became moist again.

None of Zhang Shouren's generals came from aristocratic families, they were all from hundreds of military fortresses or civilians, and even the hardest-working salt-cooking stove households or even more difficult artisan households in the hundred-family military fortresses. For the things in front of them, they are also people who have really suffered. They know what it is like to be too hard to survive. The situation in front of them makes them feel as if they have returned to a few years ago, which was ten years ago in Chongzhen. It was more than three years ago. At that time, I was in a better situation than these people in front of me, but I had a few meals at home. When winter came, I could redeem summer clothes, and occasionally I could eat some food. Seafood, apart from this, is not much better.

The military households in Ming Dynasty were originally a group of people who worked harder than ordinary people. If it weren't for the continuous drought, the life of civilians would be much easier than that of military households...

"This world is eating people, and the people have become cattle and sheep. The general now understands why there are so many Shaanxi bandits!" Sun Liangdong has such a temper. When he thinks about it, he speaks without any scruples and speaks loudly: "The roots behind It's the emperor, the emperor's root is rotten, can it grow a big tree, can it bear good fruit? That's what your lord told us to see."

"Liangdong is right. Those scholars like to blame others for their faults. We are very clear when we see things. Border troubles, civil strife, common people cannibalism, the root cause is the emperor, and the emperor is the emperor. Eight lifetimes of blood mold!"

"You've already said it." Zhang Shouren's eyes flickered, looked at the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "Also, he aimed the gun at the wrong person, and fired the cannon at the wrong place..."

"What's wrong? What's the law? Don't provide relief in famines, just collect taxes. Isn't this all the emperor's business?"

Sun Liangdong was not convinced, even if Zhang Shouren was in front, there was only a greater reason to convince him to remain silent.Of course, if Zhu Wangli were here instead, I'm afraid he would bluntly say that Zhang Shouren was deceiving everyone.

The fact that there are such living treasures in the army is of course Zhang Shouren's own reason. Although he is extremely rich and extends to his descendants, what he seeks has not changed at all.
