Daming: Depriving Zhu Yunqi of luck at the beginning

The grandfather and grandson watched the dozen or so carriages leave slowly without stopping them.

Even if you don't ask, you can guess that these things are used to dress up the military households in the village.

The purpose is to deal with the investigation of the people from the capital.

Seeing this group of people walking away, Zhu Xiongying said:

"Grandpa, the way these people deal with the inspection from above is really ingenious..."

Old Zhu snorted coldly, and a killing intent was already in his heart.

"Let's go, let's go into the village and have a look."

then.

The grandfather and grandson walked slowly into the village.

Just entered the village.

Zhu Xiongying found a family of two brothers, squatting in front of the house crying.

Looking into the dilapidated house from the outside.

It was found that the house could be described as barren, with two broken earthen pots placed on a dilapidated wooden table, plus a bed made of a flat mound, and the rest were nothing big.

And on the ground at the door, the youngest brother of the two brothers was lying on his forehead, bleeding from his forehead, as if he had been knocked unconscious.

"Third brother, third brother, wake up."

"Third Brother, Big Brother is going to get you something to eat, just hold on!"

See this scenario.

Zhu Xiongying couldn't bear it and walked over.

Zhu Yuanzhang followed closely behind.

Seeing someone coming, the oldest of the three brothers kowtowed and begged:

"Please, master, young master, please do me a favor. My third brother hasn't eaten for two days, so just give him something to eat!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

Hastily stopped his kowtow and asked:

"What's the matter, he won't starve his head out after two days of starvation?"

The boss swallowed, and said:

"The officers and soldiers came from the city just now and put some food and utensils for our family, but they said that we can't eat what they brought. If we dare to eat, we will be beaten to death..."

"My second brother and I didn't dare to eat it, but the third brother was young and hungry, so he secretly took a bite..."

"As a result, when the officers and soldiers came to collect the things, they found out and beat my third brother. Now the third brother is left with one breath. If there is no more food to eat, I guess, I guess..."

Hear what the kid said.

Zhu Xiongying immediately turned around and said:

"Grandpa, don't we still have two cakes in our bag? Give them."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't hesitate either. He knew how hard it was for poor people to have nothing to eat, so he immediately took out the cake from his arms and handed it to several children.

Then, he took the water bag from the horse and stuffed it into the child's hand.

The boss thanked him repeatedly, then quickly turned around, broke off a small piece of cake, and put it in the mouth of the third brother.

The third child smelled the aroma of the cake in a daze, and immediately became more energetic, and hurriedly stuffed the cake into his mouth.

"Eat slowly and don't choke."

Seeing his eagerness, Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget to tell him, "Eating bread alone is hard to swallow, so drink some water."

Seeing such a situation, Lao Zhu couldn't help thinking of the time when he was hungry.

It was a hellish experience.

Think of this.

His fist clenched.

The three children ate some cakes and regained some strength. They knelt down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Xiongying one after another, thanking them for their life-saving grace.

"You're welcome, where are your parents?"

Old Zhu asked again.

When the three children heard this, two of them couldn't help crying.

Only the boss, holding back his sobs, replied:

"Master, our parents..."

"They were all beaten to death by officers and soldiers in Yangzhou City!"

"How could it be?" Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly asked, "The officers and soldiers in Yangzhou...why did you kill your parents?"

Old Avenue:

"Our village is all military households. There is no war on weekdays, and we have to farm for ourselves."

"After the grain grown every year is handed over to the army, the lords in Yangzhou City will come to search it again..."

"Even so, the people in our village would rather starve themselves than pay all the food... My father said, bear it if you can."

"But at the beginning of this year, the master of Yangzhou City insisted that our village didn't have enough food, and asked us to pay for it with land...the land can't be bought casually. Without the land, we will have no food at the end of the year!"

"So, my father led people to rebel, and they were all beaten to death by the officers and soldiers... My mother wanted to go to the city to file a complaint, but was also beaten to death at the entrance of the village..."

As he spoke, the child burst into tears and could no longer speak.

And after listening to these words.

Only four big characters appeared in Zhu Xiongying's mind - "land merger".

This is also the reason why Lao Zhu's military settlement system was implemented in the end in history, and it was useless.

In fact, for the feudal dynasties of the past dynasties.

Land annexation has always been an incurable disease.

But now is the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

Is there someone so bold that he started to embezzle the fields of common people and military households?

This is not just greed, but audacity and viciousness to the extreme!

at the same time.

After listening to the children's words, Lao Zhu was really angry.

He gritted his teeth and said:

"How dare you do that..."

"How long can you hide it from the superiors and the inferiors? It's easy to abuse the people, but it's hard to deceive the heavens!"

"It seems that we are in Yangzhou this time, so we have to kill a few to show the public!"

Zhu Xiongying nodded and said:

"National law is in front, these people dare to do such a thing, it is really audacious."

"The grandson also agrees to kill one to make an example!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said again:

"Xiongying, there are many folk rumors that we are a tyrant...do you think we are a tyrant?"

"Of course not," Zhu Xiongying immediately shook his head and said, "Grandpa just used thunder to frighten Xiaoxiao! To prevent more people from going astray and never recovering, this is the true heart of a Bodhisattva!"

"Hehe, our grandson's opinion always reassures us."

Zhu Yuanzhang touched Zhu Xiongying's head in relief, and said in a deep voice:

"But we don't care what other people say."

"A tyrant is a tyrant..."

"Let's just guarantee that when the Great Ming Dynasty is passed on to your father and you, it will be completely clear!"

……

(ps: The revision of the tomato score caused the book's score to drop again, and my mentality collapsed... I beg everyone to give the book a five-star praise, which is very important to me! Please!)

Chapter 76 Just in case, go and inform Yongchang Hou

In Yangzhou City.

He Li settled down.

Zhao Taichu and Lao Qianhu found a few random people and sent the other Qianhu back.

then.

The two found a quiet small box and began to talk in secret.

"Zhao Qianhu, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we must not let it go!"

Zhao Taichu also nodded, and said to the old Qianhu:

"Wang Laoqianhu, I understand the truth...Then what He Qianhu said is clear enough. Once the emperor establishes the Jinyiwei, all the guards in the capital must respect the Jinyiwei, let alone the local guards..."

"At that time, I'm afraid even a thousand households in Jinyiwei will not be at a disadvantage when they meet the commander of the local guard!"

Old Qianhu nodded and said:

"Say, do we need to notify the commanding officer about this?"

"Need not."

Zhao Taichu hastily interrupted him and said:

"Our Commander-in-Chief is usually cautious, and he doesn't dare to accept my brothers who take advantage of him to honor him."

"People like him only know how to protect themselves, and have no idea of ​​taking risks at all."

"Why should we tell him this kind of thing?"

"When you become prosperous in the future, you can look back... the commander of this local guard station, in our eyes, is just a small role."

Hearing what Zhao Taichu said makes sense.

Wang Laoqianhu said:

"you're right."

"Besides, He Qianhu said about this matter, the less people know about it, the better."

"When we get in touch with the people in the Capital Captain's Mansion, we won't have to act according to the face of the commander anymore."

Although this Wang Lao Qianhu is older than Zhao Taichu, his qualifications and experience as a Qianhu are far inferior to that of Zhao Taichu who has been a Qianhu for a long time.

Therefore, Zhao Taichu is the only one who follows what happens.

The two discussed for a while.

Finally, the two bid farewell and walked to their own residences respectively.

Zhao Taichu walked halfway, and suddenly became suspicious.

He is cautious by nature, and it is impossible for him to gamble his entire wealth and life just because of He Li's one or two words.

and so.

Zhao Taichu didn't go to his home, but walked to the residence of his confidant General Banner along the way.

Knocking on the door of Zongqi's house, Zongqi opened the door and saw that it was Zhao Taichu, and said quickly:

"Master Qianhu?"

"What wind brought you here..."

"Come in quickly."

As he spoke, he led Zhao Taichu into the house.
