Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

The people in Taizhou knew that they were already in the hands of the rebels.

The officials are either dead, or they are working in the hands of the rebels. They are panicked and don't know what to do. The vendors on the roadside no longer set up their stalls, and the doors of restaurants and inns are closed. Everyone is worried that the fire will burn to the ground. own head.

But it didn't take long for them to discover that there are soldiers patrolling the streets every day, there is no curfew at night, the gates of the yamen are always open, and there are many yamen they have never heard of before-now called departments.

One is in charge of taxes.

There is only one person who fights and blackmails people.

There are even departments that control husbands beating their wives.

"What's wrong with me beating her? My own mother-in-law! I'll teach you a lesson myself! What's bothering you!" The man was dragged down the street by the soldiers, and angrily shouted, "I'm in charge of the world! I don't even care about beating my mother-in-law! "

The woman followed behind, with bruises all over her face, and she followed, saying as she walked, "Master Bing, Lord Bing, I'm fine, I'm really fine, don't grab him, don't grab him."

There are many spectators nearby.

"How many times have you caught this?"

"I don't know, everyone who is arrested has to go to the Yamen to strip their pants and big buttocks, and they won't get better if they don't lie down for a few days."

"Tell me, what do the people above care about? They beat their own mother-in-law, not someone else."

"Some people have said that this is called the crime of obstructing the unity of the masses."

"What, what crime?"

"It hinders the unity of the masses. It is said that the husband beats his wife, and the family is divorced. Every family is like this. What should we do in the future? You can still expect the wife you beat like that to continue to be filial to the mother-in-law, take care of the children, and do the laundry. Cooking? Are you afraid that your mother-in-law will buy some poison and let you go to Huangquan Road?"

"That said... it seems to make sense."

"The higher-ups let her make the decision, why would she still ask for it? She's been beaten like that, isn't she cheap?"

"What do you know? Her man was beaten, she couldn't get out of bed for a few days, and the family had no income. What should I do with food? I have to fill my stomach?"

"Besides, is it possible that you can divorce your husband?"

"She is a woman. If she is divorced and her natal family can't go back, what will she do in the future? Will she be a beggar?"

"Don't you know?" Someone said, "Now there is a labor bureau, you just need to register, and it will find you a job, both men and women, even if you are a cripple, they can find you a job, you If you don’t have a place to live, the labor bureau will find you a house to live in.”

"There are such good things, why don't you go?"

"I want to see again..."

"I went and went to work in three days."

"What are you going to do?"

"Iron."

"Don't be ridiculous, you are not a blacksmith, you still forge iron, iron hit you?"

"What do you know? If you don't know it, you can learn it. There is a teacher there to teach you."

"...Is there really someone to teach?"

"Of course, I went to find out."

The people are very adaptable, and they care more about their own livelihoods, what they will eat tomorrow, whether they will be full, and whether their lives will be better.

During this period of time, Lin Yuan focused all his energy on productivity.

Taizhou has more grain reserves than Lin Yuan imagined. After the panic at the beginning, the people finally dared to take to the streets.

"Han Shantong is dead?" Brother Dao was taken aback, he became frightened, "Isn't the imperial court going to deal with us now?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "How many people do you think the imperial court can move now?"

Seeing Lin Yuan's appearance, Brother Dao felt relieved: "But they won't ignore us?"

Lin Yuan: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, the court has already sent a letter."

A group of people surrounded Lin Yuan: "The letter from the imperial court, what do you say?"

Lin Yuan: "He said that as long as I am willing to submit to the imperial court, let me be a ten thousand householder."

Everyone: "The dog court spent a lot of money this time."

Lin Yuan said: "As long as we don't establish a country and a national name, the imperial court will not care about us at all."

This was the case in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty. Several rebel leaders and those who established the country were the first to be liquidated. After all, this is related to the face of the court. This is equivalent to fighting against the court.

But as long as the country is not established, the imperial court will focus on recruiting security.

After all, in the current imperial court, only Tuotuo Timur and Chahan Timur are the most powerful troops under their command.

"Furthermore, the Han people are not united now."

Today's Han people are divided into three groups.

In the first wave, the landlord class is the main one, loyal to the Yuan Dynasty, and must "dedicate oneself to serve the country" for the Yuan Dynasty.

The first wave is ordinary Han people who form a stronghold to protect themselves and observe the timing.

The last wave is to join the Peasant Army. Now that there are small uprisings everywhere, it is not difficult to join the Peasant Army.

Lin Yuan: "Normal."

Brother Dao didn't understand: "It's not normal anymore, it's all like this now, and they still have to be loyal to that dog court."

Lin Yuan asked, "Why did we rebel?"

Brother Dao: "Of course it's because the people are in dire straits, but if they go on, there will be no way out!"

Lin Yuan nodded: "That's it. People who don't rebel are because they can still live and have a good life. They will be afraid. If the day comes when the dynasty changes, will they still have the good life they are now? ?”

"They are afraid, so naturally they don't want to change, and naturally they have to be loyal to the court."

Brother Dao slapped the table: "This kind of person is really hateful!"

Lin Yuan smiled and patted Brother Dao on the shoulder: "What's so hateful?"

Brother Dao: "Everywhere is hateful!"

Lin Yuan said: "Then let's make an analogy, Brother Dao, you are now a landlord, and your wife is a lady, beautiful and kind, and you have more than a dozen concubines, all of whom are as beautiful as flowers and jade." Son, what you eat every day is abalone and sea cucumber, what you drink is top-quality tea, and there are crowds of servants, so you don’t have to worry about anything.”

"When you're thirsty, someone brings you tea and water. When you're hungry, someone cooks for you. You can't run out of clothes, and you can't run out of money."

"But now some people have rebelled. Once these people's rebellion succeeds, your sea cucumber and abalone will be gone, and your concubine will be gone. You and your servants will be the same people. Do you hope these people's rebellion will succeed?"

Brother Dao: "Of course I do!"

Lin Yuan looked at him: "Of course what?"

Brother Dao touched the back of his head: "I understand when you say that."

Lin Yuan: "It's understandable in reason, but if I really meet this kind of person, I can only strip him naked, and I won't leave him a penny."

Brother Dao: "...that's ruthless enough."

Zhu Yuanzhang and the others were listening behind, and they all felt that what Lin Yuan said made sense.

Most people are like this, they only get angry when their own interests are violated, and if it has nothing to do with their own interests, they just hang up as nothing to do with themselves.

However, there are also a small number of people who have received higher education and are not short of money, but they are willing to fight for people who are not in the same class as themselves. This kind of spirit is the rarest.

Find one, and that's a gem.

What Lin Yuan hopes now is to have a few more treasures.

The main reason is that there are too few people who can read and write. Even if all the people who can read and write in Taizhou are mobilized to work, there is still a big gap.

Lin Yuan asked Chen Bosong: "How are the people doing now? Are you not as uneasy as before?"

Chen Bosong shook his head: "That's not true. Now the hawkers have returned to the streets to set up stalls, and the restaurants and inns have reopened. They all say that life is better now."

It is impossible for Lin Yuan to distribute the food directly, one relief is fine, but is it necessary to provide relief every time?No matter how much food there is, it's not enough.

He can only create more jobs and let them exchange their labor for food.

Women had women's jobs, making clothes, cooking, and dispensing gunpowder.

The men also have a lot of things to do. In short, the whole Taizhou is running at high speed like a machine.

Even the beggars on the side of the road - they have something to do.

Lin Yuan still asks Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Bosong to select people from their hands and cultivate talents.

For example, an undercover agent walking outside, or a scout reporting news.

In short, it is all-round development.

Er Duan came in with snacks: "Master, you have something to eat, this is the pastry newly made by the cook."

The cook was sent by Zhao Zirong, who also said that his ancestors were from imperial cooks.

Lin Yuan sighed again while eating his snacks.

Fortunately, he was dressed in a feudal society. If he was dressed in a slave society, he wouldn't even have snacks.

Although the feudal society did not have smartphones, computers, various entertainment activities, or even normal human rights.

but!Better than a slave society.

Thinking about it this way seemed to give him some relief.

"It takes a lot of sugar." Brother Dao said this while eating the pastry and spraying slag.

Yang Zian couldn't bear it anymore and covered Brother Dao's mouth with his hands.

"Eat yours, don't talk, spray everywhere."

Brother Dao: "No, no, no..."

Zhu Yuanzhang also said sarcastic words beside him: "Don't worry, I can't hear what you want to say."

Lin Yuan asked Zhu Yuanzhang: "How do you feel about the recent training? Are the newly recruited soldiers obedient?"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Everyone is obedient."

Those who are disobedient will be beaten, and no one can think about it that much.

Lin Yuan said: "The main thing is to cultivate their sense of teamwork and a sense of collective honor."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "...What is that..."

Lin Yuan thought for a while, and explained: "It's the feeling of prosperity for all, loss for all."

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his chin: "Understood, I'll go back and think about it."

Lin Yuan: "Think hard, don't worry."

Chen Bosong watched Zhu Yuanzhang go out, and asked Lin Yuan, "Master, what shall we do next?"

Lin Yuan: "Wait, wait for another three months, Taizhou is stable, and the recruits are almost trained, and they can practice with Gaoyou."

"I've already made a plan." Lin Yuan took out a map and ticked off several places, "After taking Gaoyou, it will be Changshu, Huzhou, Songjiang, Changzhou, and Pingjiang. In short, we can't stand still .”

Chen Bosong looked at the drawn map, nodded and replied, "Naturally."

Lin Yuan looked at the map.

So far, it's been going pretty well.

I just hope the road ahead will be as smooth as it is now.
