Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 440 Press and rub on the ground

   Tang Yin was very calm, terrifyingly calm.

  He is a scholar. Back then, he also had a side that was not afraid of princes, so he often made arrogant remarks, which also led to Tang Yin's tragedy in history.

  But... After following Fang Jifan and worshiping under Fang Jifan, he changed, completely changed this bad habit.

  In the past, he was a proud prince with a smile, but now he is a prince with a smile besides his mentor.

   Just kidding, in the Hanlin Academy, even in the face of the Shangguan, he dared to point his nose and scold others, but he didn't dare to make a sound, and said with aggrieved face, editor Tang, don't do this, just speak up if you have something to say.

  Although it is said that strong dragons do not suppress local snakes, the so-called local snakes in Ningbo Mansion don’t count as farts. For a person of this level, he was drawn from the east of Ningbo Mansion all the way to the west of the city. Who would dare to make a nonsense comparison?

So Tang Yin is very calm. When he comes here, he only needs to follow his teacher's instructions and do his own thing well. He won't take care of local affairs, and he doesn't bother to take care of them. He is ordered to train soldiers and to provide disaster relief. It can be guaranteed that other matters have nothing to do with him unless a blind person really hit the gun.

  Wen Yansheng was silent for a long time, Fang Jifan...

   No wonder it sounds familiar.

   I seem to have heard of it.

  He looked at Tang Yin, saw that he was calm and calm, and felt at ease, smiled slightly, and bowed his hands: "Then, I can rest assured."

  He still wanted to explain that the gun is easy to block, but the backstab is hard to defend against, but after thinking about it, he is so confident, forget it.

  Holding his big yellow croaker, he went happily.

   This fish is really fat and delicious. Go home and make soup.

  …

In the early morning of the second day, the Majestic Zhen Guogong set sail again. Before setting sail, boxes of copper coins and countless pieces of silver were brought out. I got nine hundred and seventy-three taels of silver, and each person took one tael of silver as a reward. The rest of the silver taels were ordered by my teacher to be used for repairing ships, ordering fishing nets, spear guns, and building new ships. What is hung is the flag of Zhen Guofu, and the navy of Zhen Guofu will set it up from today, and you are the backbone."

  Everyone went crazy when they heard that each person was one tael of silver.

  These impoverished people didn’t want to die just to have a full meal. How could they have imagined that this three-day round trip would be a reward of one tael of silver.

  Many people cried.

   Marrying a daughter-in-law has made it easy.

   Going to sea a few more times in the next month, wouldn't it mean that after one month, not only will they eat and drink in the camp, but they will also get ten taels of silver for nothing.

  After one year, you can accumulate a hundred taels of silver. What kind of concept is this?

  Of course, they cannot be gentlemen in this life. In this life, they can only rely on hard work to let their children and grandchildren step into the threshold that they once looked up to.

  The crowd began to surge.

  Many people bowed down directly: "Thank you for editing, the editing is great..."

  Hu Kaishan grinned. He likes everyone to live a good life. He knows too much what poverty is, and he also understands the potential of these eighteen generations of poor people, once they have hope, they will burst out with potential.

   "Stand up! Ready to sail!"

  The sailors suddenly became imposing, and the editor gave them enough to eat. They had decided to bleed the editor a long time ago, and now they have a huge hope, they no longer intend to die.

  What is fate? For some people, it is a mountain of gold and silver; but for some people, it is just a string of money.

  Unfortunately, they are the latter. Since the 18th generation of their ancestors, they have been used to selling their lives for a bunch of money, because once they can't sell their lives, their wives and daughters will be put on a straw label and sold. How much can they get in exchange? It's a joke to say it, and it's just a few strings of money.

   Their eyes are already red.

  Everyone boarded the ship in high spirits.

  With silver, one must find a way to improve the efficiency of fishing. Therefore, more than 200 taels of silver are used to buy fishing tools everywhere, and even... Tang Yin also wants to configure a bow and crossbow.

   Out of port.

  Countless people rushed to watch the majestic Zhen Guogong, and slowly began to leave the port.

   Someone cried.

  They...really went fishing.

   This means that the sailors' promise is true. These guys are very likely to come back in three days, and then bring a large boat of fish, still selling them for a penny a catty.

   What a terrible thing this is.

  The disaster victims in Ningbo can rely on these large yellow croakers to survive the catastrophe.

   Not only that, in the future...if people continue to play like this, the price of rice...

  Rice prices have begun to plummet.

   From more than 30 articles, it was cut in half at once.

   But in fact, after the cut in half, there were still very few people who came to buy rice. The atmosphere of running out of rice created by the rice shops in the past is now gone.

  The gentry hoarding food began to panic.

   Is the big yellow croaker so delicious? You have to eat some rice, it's not healthy if you don't eat rice.

But in fact, those victims, even after eating all the fish they bought, would rather be hungry than come to buy rice, because... after these two days, there will be a penny worth of fish to eat. The poor, who have nothing, can go hungry.

  So not only the price of rice was unstable, but also the price of land began to loosen.

  In the past, everyone was still sharpening their knives, waiting to take advantage of this round of catastrophe to annex some land, but now...the land price has dropped, but it has dropped, that is...even the gentry are afraid to annex.

  Land is food. There is nothing wrong with that. When there is too much food and the vast majority of people are starving, then the price of land is bound to be unattainable because it is a non-renewable resource.

  Someone cried, it won’t work, it’s not kind to prepare Japanese guards, this is to compete with the people for profit, they sell fish to get rich, how can soldiers sell fish?

  Thus, many people began to go home, revise their books, and complained to their relatives who were officials outside the home.

  They all have the status of juren and scholar, so there is no need to kneel down.

Their backgrounds are very profound. Some of their ancestors were Jinshi, and some were officials. Therefore, they naturally sit on the same level as the prefect Wen Yansheng. To be honest, they look down on Wen Yansheng. Don't look at them as parents and officials. People like them don't have many relatives in the court.

Everyone raised their feet, holding teacups, and blowing tea foam. Although their hearts were anxious, their faces still needed to be flat: "The Japanese guards in the water village are not doing their job properly. Are they worthy of the court? You are all paid and paid." People's fat and people's anointment, now Japanese pirates are raging, they don't want to fight against Japanese, but they are fishing here, what are they doing? Are we worthy of the support of us common people?"

  Wen Yansheng smiled: "Everyone, it seems that you haven't paid much food tax, have you?"

Snapped! Someone took the case and got angry.

They are gentry, and have fame, to be honest, in addition to fame, plus some behind-the-scenes operations, they are almost exempt from taxation, someone said sharply: "What are you talking about, we are not the people, not the people? Prefect Wen, you are an official of parents, if you are an official and do not make decisions for the people, is this bullying us?"

Wen Yansheng's heart was on fire. I usually begged my grandpa to tell my grandma to give me some food, but you refused. You secretly hid so much food. Now it's all right. Now that you are preparing Japanese guards to save people, you are in a hurry. Wen Yansheng said seriously: "You are the people, but the starving people on the street are also people. They have never read, they don't know how to speak, and they can't see the government. Therefore, these people, they have become blind and dumb. , you become deaf. What about you, you have studied, someone in your family is an official in the court, you have a thousand hectares of fertile land, even if there is a catastrophe, you will not be hungry. I will decide for you, I will not take any losses in anything, and I will wipe out all the advantages and benefits you encounter. Now is the year of catastrophe, and those people who have no eyes and are dumb can finally survive , what are you doing here?"

Wen Yansheng was furious. After three years in office, he endured this group of bird people every day. He was fed up with this group of educated but black-hearted guys. : "Don't you just want to force this official to submit? If you have the ability to find Beiwowei, don't you mean that if this government refuses to go along with you, you will impeach this government? Come on, impeach, don't bully people too much. "

  He roared, but it frightened people.

  Everyone was silent.

At this time, another guard came: "Here we come, here we come. The awe-inspiring Lord Zhen Guo is back again. It really came back every three days. He just returned to Hong Kong. Ming Gong, they have returned to Hong Kong and put up a signboard. One penny and one catty of large yellow croakers, as much as you want."

  An old gentry touched his forehead for a moment, about to faint, and shouted: "This is to kill us poor people!" Then, his eyes darkened, and he passed out directly.

Wen Yansheng ignored them, he had had enough, he has been a grandson for three years, you have to point out everything, always say that the government is competing with the people for profit, at the beginning, he was counting on everyone Okay, when you leave office, how many Wanmin umbrellas will you give away, but now, **** it, I am an upright Kaifeng native, grandson, go to the ball, guys!

  He shook his official uniform: "This is a great thing, hurry, hurry, beat the gong, play the sign, go to meet the soldiers of the Japanese Guards, and prepare a few firecrackers."

   "Obey!"

  Speaking, Wen Yansheng ignored the wailing in the yamen hall, hurried out of the yamen, got on the sedan chair, and happily went to the port.

  Large yellow croaker...especially in soup...it's really delicious.

  This time, I don’t know if the Tang editor will bring some seafood again. The seafood is delicious with wine, even if it is impeachment, it is worth it.
