Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant
Page 1040
……
Walking on the street full of shops and pedestrians, Zhu Jingxue said: "There is no difference between here and Daming, the same familiar faces, and the official language of Daming, what about the barbarians? There are not as many barbarians in the capital!"
Zhu Ciyi said: "Sister, this is my Daming's land now, and my father immigrated the people to Shibian, so he must have chosen the people of Daming to come here, so how could he pick those barbarians to come to Shibian?"
Zhu Jingxue asked Xiao Taozi to buy two snacks, and after handing one to Zhu Ciyi, he said, "Taste first if it's delicious, I haven't seen this in Daming."
Looking at the strange looking food in his hand, Zhu Ciyi said: "Sister, why don't you try it first?"
The pretty eyebrows were raised upright, and Zhu Jingxue said with a hey: "I tell you to taste it! If it tastes good, I will eat it naturally. If it doesn't taste good, both of them are yours!"
Zhu Ciyi said with a bitter face: "Sister, am I your real brother?"
After a smirk, Zhu Jingxue said, "Of course you are my younger brother that I can't kiss any more."
Zhu Ciyi said: "Did the empress mother tell you to love her younger brother?"
Zhu Jingxue nodded and said: "Naturally, the queen mother nags us every day, we must respect the elder brother, love the younger brother, brothers are of the same heart, and their benefits cut through gold. I don't know how many times I have heard these words!"
"Then you still cheating on me?" After asking back, Zhu Ciyi continued: "Sister, this food is not tasty, you can just throw it away, what are you doing for me?"
Zhu Jingxue shook his head and said: "Throwing it is of course not okay, the emperor said that food is most afraid of being wasted, there are still many people in this world who can't eat, or can't have a good meal.
If we waste some food now, less food will reach the people's mouths, and it is very likely that one person will go hungry because of our waste.So, in order not to waste it, it is naturally up to you to eat it up! "
Zhu Ciyi took a sip of the snack in his hand with a bitter face, then suddenly grinned and said: "It tastes good, sister can try it."
Dubiously casting a glance at Zhu Ciyi, Zhu Jingxue suddenly handed over the snack in his hand: "Since it's not bad, then you can eat all of it. My sister loves you so much, so don't forget my sister's kindness!"
After reaching out to take it, Zhu Ciyi handed it to the little Taozi beside Zhu Jingxue: "Sister Taozi, this king treats you to eat!"
Little Taozi had no choice but to take it, and said, "Thank you, servant, for the reward!"
Seeing that Zhu Ciyi casually handed the share in his hand to the accompanying guard, Zhu Jingxue snorted coldly, and ignored Zhu Ciyi who was pretending to be stupid and tricky, but took the lead and walked forward.
After walking forward for a while, Zhu Ciyi suddenly tugged at Zhu Jingxue's sleeve, stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and said in a low voice, "Sister, what do you see over there?"
Zhu Jingxue looked in the direction of Zhu Ciyi's finger, but saw a group of people crowded not far away. Although there were a large number of people, the order was not chaotic under the maintenance of a group of yamen servants.
Behind the crowd stood a flag with a piece of cloth hanging on it, and on it was written two large characters—conscription, and behind them was a group of people doing registration, and behind them a person dressed as a county magistrate was constantly wiping Sweat on forehead.
Zhu Jingxue asked suspiciously: "What's wrong? Isn't this just conscription?"
Zhu Ciyi said: "Didn't you hear my future brother-in-law say that Ming Dynasty conscription will only be carried out at the end of August and early September? Now it's November, and the conscription actually starts here?
Also, if you look at the county magistrate behind, although you can't see the expression on his face clearly, but seeing him keep raising his hands to wipe his sweat, it seems that his expression is not good at all. "
Zhu Jingxue snorted and said, "I've never heard of this, my father never told me about it, let alone that heartless person.
However, could it be the elder brother who is recruiting in front?If so, the speed of this big brother is too fast. When we come out on the front foot, they will start recruiting on the back foot? "
Zhu Ciyi said: "I don't know, anyway, the local county magistrate is here, so it's probably not a big problem."
While talking, the two walked forward and slowly approached the crowd, pricking up their ears to hear what the crowd beside them were talking about.
"Didn't it be said yesterday afternoon that the conscription was over, why did [-] quotas pop up all of a sudden?"
"I don't know, but with [-] more places, our chances of being selected will be higher. It's better than not being able to catch up, right?"
The man who spoke at the beginning suddenly let out a hey and said: "It's interesting to say, when we were in Daming, we wanted to be soldiers but we couldn't, but now we have a chance in Assam. However, the emperor always wants to Occupying the land of the whole world, but what is the use of occupying these lands?"
Zhu Ciyi suddenly said: "You dare to ask this uncle, do you have land?"
The man said: "Of course there are, the government allocated the land early."
Zhu Ciyi continued: "Then does your son have land?"
The man said again: "Today's son has already made a decree. How can each person get half a cent of the [-] mu of Yongye farmland? If I have a son, I will naturally have a [-] mu of Yongye farmland."
Zhu Ciyi nodded, and continued: "If your son gives birth to another son, is there still land? Is there enough land for Assam?"
Asked by Zhu Ciyi's words, the man's face suddenly became a little uncomfortable: "Da Ming is rich all over the world and has countless lands, so naturally it is enough!"
Hey, Zhu Ciyi sneered: "Then what about after your grandson gave birth to a son? In a hundred years or so, there will be countless times more people in our Ming Dynasty than now. Where will we go to find land then?"
The man said: "I will die in the end, once I die, the Yongye Tian will be taken back by the government, and it will be distributed when the time comes?
Besides, whether the land is enough or not is still a matter of concern for the emperor, so what does it have to do with me, a small citizen like Shengdou? "
Zhu Ciyi shook his head, and then asked: "Then dare to ask uncle, what is the purpose of being this soldier?"'
Although the man didn't understand why Zhu Ciyi shook his head, but Zhu Ciyi was so polite that he couldn't get angry on the spot, so he said with a hey, "Isn't it natural to be a soldier to eat food? No one wanted to be a soldier before because they didn't have enough to eat. Now not only is there enough food, but there are also salaries and subsidies, plus various preferential treatment, naturally everyone wants to be a soldier."
Hearing this, Zhu Ciyi stopped arguing with the man, and after bowing and thanking the man, he pulled Zhu Jingxue's sleeve and walked to the side.
Zhu Jingxue asked curiously, "How did you leave?"
Zhu Ciyi said: "Is there any benefit in arguing with him? If you win, you just beat a fool. If you lose, you are worse than a fool."
Just walking a few steps forward, Zhu Ciyi suddenly stopped and said to Zhu Jingxue: "Sister, listen to what the person next to you is saying?"
Zhu Jingxue, who also stopped, heard a person next to him say: "I waited for my ancestors to convict disobedient ministers for the Tang emperor, and now I wait for Ming emperor to conscript disobedient ministers, this is my life!"
Another man with a full beard said: "Big difference, big difference. The ancestors conscripted dissenting ministers for the Tang Emperor, but they were just serving as soldiers to eat food. Even if there is Lingyan Pavilion, how can everyone enter it?
We conquered the disobedient ministers for the Emperor Ming, but we gave a sigh of relief for those of us living outside the Han family. Everyone has a share in the Martyr's Shrine, so why is it the same? "
The man who spoke before said: "It's true, when the Tang Dynasty was strong, our ancestors ran rampant here, and when the Tang Dynasty fell, our ancestors were here to be angry and be careful to survive.
Now that the Central Plains has changed to Ming Dynasty, which is even more powerful than Tang Dynasty, my status here is very different from before.From this point of view, whether the Central Plains is strong or not is really related to the livelihood of our overseas people.
Since the emperor wants this Mughal, then let us be soldiers and take down this Mughal for the emperor. Even if I wait for the battlefield, I can still enjoy a blood meal and earn countless lands for future generations. A great merit! "
The bearded man sneered and said: "Fart's merits, what do you think about those who have nothing? Serve as a soldier and kill the enemy, and lay down countless lands for the emperor, that is, to support those overseas people like us. What about the meritorious bird?"
Although the man's words were rough, the truth in them was correct. Zhu Jingxue and Zhu Ciyi couldn't help it for a while, and burst out laughing immediately.
The bearded man was about to swear, but when he saw Zhu Jingxue and Zhu Ciyi's attire, he swallowed back the words as soon as they came to his lips.
These two young children don't care about their demeanor or clothing, which are obviously only available to those rich and noble families. If I swear at people at this time, I will inevitably cause myself some trouble.
Seeing the resentment on the man's face, Zhu Ciyi bowed and said: "The boy has nothing to say, and what the two uncles said made some sense, so he couldn't help but listen for a while longer. I hope you forgive me for being rude?"
The two of them were at a loss for a while, and the bearded man hurriedly replied, "You can't be a petty official!"
After bowing sideways to avoid the gestures of the two men, Zhu Ciyi continued to ask: "I just heard uncle say how the overseas people are doing. It seems that the overseas people will be angry?"
The man who spoke before said: "The little officials don't know something. Like in the past when the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, no one dared to provoke overseas people. Those vassal states only wished to lift my Ming people to the sky, so they sided with them." The official government dare not ask me about the affairs of the people of Ming Dynasty.
