Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

The most important thing is - the construction period here is long!

Longer working hours mean more money.

I heard that there are special personnel to inspect, and as long as they are willing to put in the effort, even the lowest level of effort, once selected, can take the whole family to work in Handu.

As long as you go there, you can become an official!

……

The team in front of them gradually thinned out.

The official surnamed Xu looked up and saw that there were still people working on the construction site.

He shouted in a loud voice:

"Come and eat, no more queuing now, don't delay things!"

An old man in his fifties was leading his two granddaughters to load dirt into the car.

This is the clay that needs to be transported to the brick kiln to bake the bricks.

"Brother Xu, wait until I fill this cart with dirt!"

Upon hearing the greeting, the old man responded with a smile.

"You old man, you are the last one every time."

The official surnamed Xu smiled and scolded.

He opened the white cloth covering the basket, picked up a few meat buns, and greeted the two girls with sweaty faces:

"Girl, come and get it first, I have to rush to the next food delivery point."

The younger girl glanced at her sister, wiped the sweat off her face, and walked towards Officer Xu with a bound.

The official surnamed Xu handed six meat buns to the little girl, then wrapped the steamed buns in lotus leaves and handed them to her.

He casually rubbed the half-grown girl's head.

"The little girl looks pretty good."

The little girl's face instantly turned red.

"I naturally don't look bad, it's only you who look bad."

The little girl, with her sharp teeth and sharp mouth, returned the favor, took the meat bun, and ran away.

He quickly ran into the moat again.

“Yoho~!

You girl have learned to talk back! "

Official Xu cursed with a smile, turned around and ordered the cooks to pack their things and prepare to rush to the next meal.

"A little bit!"

The little girl handed the bun to the old man without forgetting to make faces at Official Xu.

"Grandpa, let's eat first. I just took a look and it's egg and leek soup again at noon."

"Egg and leek soup again?"

The old man smiled and tapped his granddaughter on the forehead:

"You've only been eating a lot of meat and fish for a few days, are you tired of it?"

"That's not!"

The little girl grinned:

"Grandpa, An Da wrote in a letter saying that he has passed the civil service examination and will be an official from now on.

Anda has already written the application. When the next ship comes, we can follow the big ship to Handu!

Anda has already rented a small courtyard and found a job for us.

Grandpa, you can eat meat and drink alcohol every day from now on! "

The old man chuckled:

"That's good, that's good."

The old man took the meat buns. He was in his fifties, but his face was already full of grooves, and he shed two lines of tears unconsciously.

"Grandpa, why are you crying again?"

"My dear, grandpa is not crying, grandpa is happy!"

"Grandpa is a liar. He only cries when he is sad, and he doesn't cry when he is happy!"

"Girl, I would rather you never cry because you are too happy."

The old man murmured.

These are all the result of social beatings...

[Note: Nanjing dialect is very different from Wu dialect. I spent some time in Jiangbei, Nanjing in 15, and I can understand the basic dialect. The dialect overall sounds closer to the north.

For example - I (me), baby (baby), Xiemen (strange), Pianla (show off), no big deal (don't care), you are so strange (what's so great about it), stingy (to say someone is stingy) ), scary bala (scary), airy bala (contempt), ghostly (don't pay attention), lift one's legs (leave the place)

I have spent some time in Guangdong, Fujian, Shandong, Zhejiang, Shanghai, and Jiangsu. I am most moved by the human touch in Nanjing. The locals take the initiative to chat with you and give you fruits and vegetables. This is really the first time I have encountered them.

The landlord was a very nice person. I still remember that I stayed there for more than 20 days because I couldn't find a job. When I left, the old man said that he didn't want any rent. I tried to persuade him, but he only let me keep 50 yuan, saying that it would be used as utility bills. ...]

……

Tianjin, Bohai Sea.

It's foggy today.

A bird boat sails slowly on the sea.

Thin white mist shrouded the sea, and only the lanterns on the boat, through the mist, rendered several circles of yellow halo, like a fairyland.

In the north, there are not many winds and waves, so whether it is rivers or offshore, there are more sand boats.

Slender bird boats are relatively rare in the north.

Especially after the emperor began to investigate Westerners, there were even fewer bird ships.

The most surprising thing is that there is a messy sign on the bow of this ship.

It seems to be a square family emblem.

Inside the telescope, the clan emblem made of brass is a human-shaped pattern between two circles.

On the outermost circle, there are long and short lines, outlining the shape of light.

Seems to be a depiction of the sun.

Within the inner circle, there are three letters "IHS".

In the middle of the "H", there is a cross.

Early Jesuit logo, later IHS letters, there are three nails.

The appearance of this bird boat immediately attracted the attention of the Coast Guard Inspection Department.

Liu Fangliang, who had thoroughly understood the information handed over to him by the emperor himself, instantly recognized that this was the Western cover for bandits - the symbol of the Jesuits!

Only, three nails below the letters are missing.

What is the Jesuit group of thieves who do missionary work but actually steal culture from doing in Bohai Sea at this time?

You know, not far away from the city of Beijing, all the Qing troops have evacuated!

In fact, the Qing army after the break is about to leave Tongzhou!

This abnormal behavior instantly made Liu Fangliang alert.

Catch people and dirty things!

He ordered to follow him secretly and not to alert others.

As a result, hundreds of fishing boats were engaged in fishing operations in this foggy sky.

Between Dengzhou Prefecture in Shandong and Jinzhou Zhongzuo, the capital of Liaodong, a dragnet was set up on the series of long islands - the Miaodao Islands.

Hundreds of warships from the Coast Guard Inspection Department are stationed here.

After setting up a dragnet, Liu Fangliang quietly waited for the Jesuit contact to appear.

In order to cooperate with the emperor's overall situation, Liu Fangliang, the commander of the Royal Tax Inspection Department of the Ming Dynasty and the Coast Guard Inspection Department, sent [-]% of his warships to the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea.

Liu Fangliang was ordered to collect taxes.

From the North Pole to the Antarctic, from the Eastern Ocean to the Western Ocean——

Everything the sun and moon shine on, and everything above the rivers, seas and lakes, is Liu Fangliang’s scope of responsibility!

The emperor only designated one territory for Liu Fangliang, and that was - no territory limit!

The emperor gave Liu Fangliang only one responsibility, and that was - not paying taxes!

No distinction between Chinese and foreign!

Regardless of the six barbarians!

As the saying goes, only death and taxes are inevitable!

According to Western industry standards, this profession also has a name - clergy missionaries...

Do not!

The clergy missionaries not only rob you of your money, but after they rob you of your money, you will be burned at the stake.

Liu Fangliang is still very fair.

One-tenth of the tax rate, as long as it is offered with both hands, it will not sink...
