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

Zhu Youjian roared:

"We Chinese people are the most hard-working people!"

“Not only are they hardworking, they are also very thrifty!”

"They wish they could break a penny in half and spend it. They keep the wheat in the barn, but eat cereals and wild vegetables for every meal!"

"Is it because the people don't know how to save money and food to fight against natural disasters?"

"no!

The people of no other country can be as prepared for danger in times of peace as we, the Chinese people!

Regardless of whether they understand the meaning of these four words, they are always accumulating family property to prepare for disasters! "

Zhu Youjian's words made the soldiers under the high platform cry uncontrollably.

Most of them are from refugee backgrounds, and many of them were on the verge of death even a month ago, struggling to "die of hunger" on the line of life and death!

Living, to them, is nothing more than the fact that the Lord of Hell has not taken away him for the time being!

The soldiers expressed emotion on their faces:

The emperor also knows the hardships of our common people!

We poor people have to struggle so hard to survive...

"why?"

“Why can’t a group of people who are so hardworking, so thrifty, and so frugal in managing their families not be able to withstand natural disasters?”

With a sad look on his face, Zhu Youjian looked around and asked for the fatal blow.

The soldiers were stunned.

Yes!

The emperor is right. Who among us ordinary people gritted their teeth and saved the food in the good years one by one and stored it in the barn, hoping to fight against natural disasters!

But why can’t we ordinary people withstand natural disasters?

Why did he end up selling his daughter to his mother, his house and his land, and finally he watched his father die tragically, his son die tragically... and even... he himself was dying because he ate too much Guanyin soil?

This is why!

Damn thief God, why is this happening!

I don't know which soldier, thinking of the tragic death of his whole family, couldn't help but make a thud and fell to the ground.

Tears wet his eyes, the veins in his neck were beating, and his mouth was wide open, letting out a silent roar:

"why!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

As if they were infected, tens of thousands of soldiers fell to the ground under the high platform.

Tears wet the ground beneath my feet.

Damn thief, you are unfair!

……

Tears flashed in Zhu Youjian's eyes.

He can understand the thoughts of the soldiers!

The Chinese people, mainly Han, are the most industrious and thrifty ethnic group in the world.

Because of its geographical location, China's land is actually very barren.

If we look purely at land output, China's land is not suitable for the existence of an ethnic group.

However, in this land, which is almost the worst in the world, the ancestors created the great nation of China with their hard-working hands, perseverance and hard work from generation to generation.

……

The people are great.

But some people are shit!

They opened their big mouths, biting the skinny bodies of the people, inserting the suction cups firmly into the people's bodies, and sucked out the fat with blood and tears from the people who were about to fall down at any time.

People are dying of hunger everywhere...

But they ate until they were full and fat!

He turned around and called someone else’s father and mother again!

……

These thieves!

Zhu Youjian had a gloomy face:

“It’s all because of the gentry!

It was their plunder that caused you to lose your home, your parents, and your children...

I have lost the mother-in-law who always greets you with a smile even though her family is poor! "

"In good years, the gentry lowered the price of grain, and they wanted to take advantage of it and took away all your grain!

In years of disaster, they team up with the government to break your bones and suck out your marrow by selling a bushel of wheat for a tael of silver!

They don't care about your life or death! "

"Since I came to the throne, I have used internal funds time and time again to allocate money and food to provide relief to the victims. However, I have spent tens of millions of money, and who of you has seen a single grain?

The world is in famine, refugees are everywhere, and the Eastern captives are tyrannical...

Internal and external troubles made me restless day and night. Since I was unable to provide relief, I had no choice but to exempt money and food from the disaster-stricken areas.

This is the only way for me!

……

I don’t remember when, but I have already exempted half of the more than a thousand counties in the Ming Dynasty..."

The emperor's voice was filled with sadness and desolation.

The cold words spoken so loudly hit the hearts of everyone.

The soldiers who fell to the ground wiped away their tears and stared wide-eyed.

One by one even stood up holding their long knives:

Son of a bitch, those beasts never gave us tax exemption!

If there weren't any crops in the fields and they came to collect taxes, we wouldn't have to be homeless!

……

The fields have been harvestless for several years...

The few grains stored in the family were forcibly taken away by the tax-collecting government officials and their thieves.

If there is no food, I can only borrow it from the gentry.

Even if you are bearing ten times or a hundred times high interest rates.

The family must survive!

……

It didn’t take long before the landlords started coming to collect debts.

The drought continues and locust plagues rage.

There is no output from the fields and the debts have to be repaid!

As a last resort, the daughter was sold first, and then the white-haired, stooped woman was tied up with a rope and led away like an animal, and then...

The wild vegetables have long gone, and the bark of the trees has been peeled off. I have to find Guanyin soil. I know that I will die, but I still use it to satisfy my hunger...

The people are struggling, but what about the officials?

In order to keep their own lives, they always report good news but not bad news. The place is dry and dry, but when they get to the top, it becomes smooth weather!

There is no harvest in the place, the people eat Guanyin soil to survive, and starve to death everywhere!

And what about those county magistrates?

In order to achieve political achievements, they teamed up with the gentry and Internet thugs to force the struggling people to borrow money and pay taxes!

Even if the emperor pardons the tax, it must be paid in the name of the person who prepaid the second year's tax!

……

"They are all those bastards of the gentry. They deceived me at the top and caused harm to the country and the people; they oppressed the people at the bottom and were cruel and unkind!"

"I harvest eight pounds of wheat from you from one acre of land, but they want to take away eighty pounds!

Even if you have a good year, it will be difficult for you to accumulate food.

This is just the autumn grain, not to mention the summer tax!

……

Encountered a famine.

I gave money for relief, but they just set up a porridge stall outside the county town and did nothing to help!

The accounts are very clear, and even the number of people who have been rescued is still half decent.

In fact, it was just a bowl of clear soup, and it was hard to find even two grains of rice. Real gold and silver went into someone's pocket...

How do they care about your life and death?

Who do they care about serving the country?

……

I thought about the hardship of the people and exempted money and grain taxes from the disaster-stricken areas.

However, they want to use clever tricks to plunder you, and they have their own names, and they are still lying on you, knocking your bones and sucking your marrow! "

Zhu Youjian's face was gloomy and terrifying. He gritted his teeth and said word by word:

"Tell me - do they deserve death?"
