Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Lizheng's face showed a trace of color, stroked his gray beard, grinned with yellow teeth and said: "The life at home is really getting better every year.

What can you eat during Chinese New Year in previous years?Even if there are some dried vegetables, if you can eat two white flour buns, it will be the Chinese New Year.

In the past few years, it was much better than before. At any rate, seeing some meat was just someone else picking the leftover bones or something. It wasn't until these two years that it really got better. "

Li was picking up the tea on the table, took a sip happily and then continued: "Like this year, the chickens that were reluctant to be killed in previous years were also killed, and there was spare money to buy a fish or two, and the meat can be cut into pieces." It’s really a wonderful day when a big piece of fat comes back.”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, looked out of the window through some dilapidated windows, looked at the sun that had already passed through the middle, and then simply got up and said, "May I ask the old man to take me around the village?"

Li Zheng also hurriedly got up and said: "The official is willing to take a look around the village, and it is enough for the villain to lead the way."

Several people walked out of the yard and came to the street.

The road is not very good, the loess road is covered with a layer of snow, and occasionally some furnace ash will leak out in some places, which is obviously the cinder of honeycomb coal.

Emperor Chongzhen pointed to the ashes on the ground, and said with a smile, "Is it okay to burn this thing?"

Li Zheng said: "It's okay, this thing is cheap and has enough firepower, so it doesn't need to be too distracted to take care of it.

It's just that this thing also has its disadvantages. In addition to the fact that the fire is not as good as firewood, it needs to be more careful, otherwise it will cause people to be poisoned by charcoal. "

Emperor Chongzhen was taken aback: "Charcoal poison?"

Li Zheng nodded and said: "That's right, it's charcoal poison. Most of those who are poisoned by this poison will die in their sleep, and their faces will show a blush, unlike normal dead people.

But it’s okay, I don’t know where it came from in the past few years, and a chimney was built on the stove, and the incidents of charcoal poisoning became less and less, and it was almost never heard of. "

Li Zheng's words were half-baked, but Emperor Chongzhen understood.

The so-called charcoal poisoning is actually carbon monoxide poisoning. Of course, there is no perception or reaction. As long as no one knows the specific ingredients of the poisoning, it will be collectively referred to as carbon monoxide.

After walking a few steps forward, Rizheng pointed to a nearby yard.

Through the open gate of the courtyard, you can see several big blue-tiled houses in the courtyard, which are more grand than Lizheng's house. Two boys in thick clothes are poking ice skates on the eaves with bamboo poles: "The surname of this family is Sun, who came from Zhuangzi, and has settled here for more than ten years.

In the early years, let alone marrying a wife, his family couldn't even afford clothes!Later, the relatives who married when Chongzhen was ten years old, and later had these two children. "

When Emperor Chongzhen heard the words, he put on a curious look and asked, "Oh? Didn't you say that you can't afford clothes? Now, the clothes on these two dolls aren't too bad, are they?"

A trace of envy flashed in Lizheng's eyes, and he curled his lips and said, "The man in this family is also a tough guy.

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, I went to Liaodong with bare feet to catch barbarians, and I didn't come back until the end of the ninth year of Chongzhen.

It's amazing to come back this time. Apart from the sword wounds on my body, I also carried a hundred and ten taels of silver. I pushed the original dilapidated thatched cottage to be rebuilt, and bought such a big family business. "

Such a big family business?Did the old man misunderstand these words?

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen simply asked again: "Since this man can manage such a family business, it can be seen that he made a lot of money in Liaodong. It stands to reason that this man should continue to earn money. Why is he so peaceful? Are you home?"

Li Zheng curled his lips and said, "Aren't you thinking about marrying a daughter-in-law?

They are all from the countryside. Although this person has suffered a lot of sword wounds, he is not blind or lame, and he has money in his hand. Naturally, it is easy to talk about marriage. I didn't go out again, bought a few acres of land, and watched over my wife and children to heat the kang. "

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and then walked forward.

Everyone has their own way of life, as long as they don't violate their conscience and the law, they can live a happy life and be worthy of their wives and children. It's normal to be unwilling to fight or kill.

While walking forward, Li Zheng continued: "Speaking of which, this guy is also strange.

Obviously, I killed people in Liaodong and saw blood, but after returning, farming is no different from those of us who spend all day on the ground, and treat the villagers very kindly, which is not obvious at all. The appearance of killing someone.

The old man is not stupid, his more than 100 taels of silver, at least more than 20 slaves can be exchanged for it. Such a strong man, if he is frightened by his wife, he will be like that little chicken, which is very interesting. "

However, Emperor Chongzhen laughed: "He lives his own life, as long as he doesn't violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, why bother with him?"

While talking, a strong man like an iron tower walked towards him, followed by a few children from a distance, and from time to time, a child laughed and shouted: "Killing people like Masun Lao Qi, marrying a daughter-in-law Jiao Didi, ask Lao Qi what he is afraid of?" ? Afraid of the mother-in-law!"

The nondescript nursery rhyme was just being yelled by several children behind the strong man. The strong man was annoyed, and turned around and cursed: "Little bastards! If I catch you, I will smash your ass!"

Many children laughed and broke up, and Sun Laoqi turned his head and looked at Emperor Chongzhen and others, with a trace of embarrassment floating on his face, and after saluting to Li Zheng, he strode towards his home. and go.

Emperor Chongzhen turned his head and glanced at Sun Laoqi, then walked forward again.

What's wrong with being afraid of your wife? How many people in future generations are not afraid of their own wives?Even Daming, in fact, there is no one who is not afraid of his wife - a wife is different from a concubine, who is afraid that his wife will not be laughed at, but the one who is afraid of a concubine is a joke.

Afraid of the wife of one's own family, this is a virtue that must be carried forward and passed down!

Chapter 699 My lord is brilliant!

After walking for a while, Lizheng pointed to a dilapidated courtyard next to him and said: "This family is considered to be dead. The couple have no children and can't afford concubines, so the incense will be cut off. "

Emperor Chongzhen took a look at the almost deserted courtyard, and his face was a little ugly: "This courtyard has become like this, can people still live there?"

Li Zheng saw that Emperor Chongzhen had an unhappy expression on his face, but he didn't take it seriously, he just grinned and said: "That's not what I said, although these two couples are dead, but their fate is good, and they have a good life. Good emperor!"

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen's face remained unchanged, Li Zheng continued: "The Nursing Home established during Emperor Taizu Gao's time is just like the Futian Courtyard in Song Dynasty. Send it to eat the emperor's food, but you will have no worries about food and clothing, even after a hundred years, there will be a leaky garden to burn and bury."

Only then did Emperor Chongzhen look better.

Emperor Chongzhen finally understood that this bad old man is very bad, and he only picks out things that scholars don't like but can't make sense of, which is disgusting.

Just like Sun Lao Qizhi before, how could this kind of killer be liked by scholars and civil officials?On the contrary, the army likes such people very much.

There are also welfare institutions such as the Sanatorium. There are three types in Ming Dynasty, namely the Sanatorium, the Louze Garden, and the Huimin Medicine Hall.

What the nursing home does is to adopt widows, widows and those abandoned babies. The nature of the Louze Garden is similar to the national cemetery of later generations-a free cemetery for the common people.

There is also Huimin Pharmacy, which is basically a cheap pharmacy, and even allows people to buy medicines on credit to see a doctor first, and then pay back the money later.

Although few people in this world dare to rely on the royal family's debts, Lord Yan doesn't care about this, he will accept people when he should accept them, and if they are dead, naturally there will be no problem of repaying the money—so This Huimin medicine hall has had a lot of bad debts since the Hongwu period, and it was still a bird in the 17th year of Chongzhen.

Such a good welfare measure should make these scholars happy, right?After all, these benefits are added together, and there is a bit of the shadow of the great harmony world that the sage said.

But scholars are not satisfied!

Because these welfare institutions have existed for a long time, but they were carried forward by Zhu Yuanzhang, and they have nothing to do with scholars. In addition, Emperor Chongzhen always sent eunuchs to check the operation of these welfare institutions. It is no wonder that scholars are satisfied. up.

Of course, the most important thing is that these welfare institutions have nothing to do with scholars, and they can't take advantage of them...

Scholars who have a reputation as a scholar basically have no worries about food and clothing. It is really normal to marry a wife and take concubines. Naturally, this kind of welfare organization for ordinary people has nothing to do with them.

Besides, are scholars shameless?Are you willing to take advantage of this bargain?

Therefore, it is normal for scholars to be dissatisfied.

But now Li Zheng misunderstood that he was the censor, and specifically picked out the matter of killing talents and welfare institutions, and it was clear that he was disgusted by himself.

However, Emperor Chongzhen had nothing to do with Lizheng.
