I have a backstage in Datang
Page 23
Pay yourself?
Didn't the court give money?
Gu Tianya was stunned.
Zhaoning seemed to be very apologetic, looked at him carefully, and said softly: "Although my best friend's women's army is in one side, the army doesn't have much money to spend, so, so..."
"So what?" Gu Tianya was a little nervous.
Zhaoning sighed, his eyes averted and he said, "The meaning of the court is to allow the Women's Army to use corvee."
Gu Tianya's face instantly turned pale.
corvee!
This is a word that the poor are most afraid of hearing.
What is corvee?
Corvette is to let the common people work for free.
Since ancient times, corvee has always existed in all dynasties, and it is still compulsory.
When building the Great Wall, how many people died of exhaustion?
How many people died of exhaustion when digging the canal?
It is difficult for ordinary people to earn food and drink, and they have to participate in various forms of corvee every year. Year after year, they struggle to survive, and they will never see hope.
It's not relief until you're exhausted.
……
Seeing Gu Tianya's pale face, Zhaoning felt extremely uncomfortable. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Gu Tianya's hand subconsciously, explaining apologetically: "The troubled times have just settled down, the court has been newly established, and the treasury has always been empty. It is really difficult to bear this amount of money, even if my best friend argues it is useless!"
She hesitated for a moment, and suddenly bit the bullet and explained again: "Even if she went to Chang'an City in person, even if she participated in the early court to quarrel with the ministers, the final outcome would still not change, and the court would not allocate money to the court. us……"
With these words, there is already a faint danger of revealing his identity.
It's a pity that Gu Tianya didn't have the heart to pay attention to this. At this moment, his mind was full of the word corvee.
His eyes seemed to have lost focus, he stared blankly at the sky, and kept muttering in his mouth: "If you don't give money, you will use corvee. If you don't give money, you will use corvee. Doesn't this mean that my kindness will be reversed?" Has it become a bad thing? I originally wanted to take this opportunity to let everyone earn a bite to eat and drink, but in the end, it made them worse, if people starved to death, if people died of starvation..."
Seeing him like this, Zhaoning felt a pain in his heart. The number one Goddess of War in the Tang Dynasty suddenly made up her mind, stretched out her hand and took Gu Tianya's hand firmly, and said loudly: "We don't need corvee, we will hire you as you said. People, specially hire the poor, and give them all to eat and drink, so that they can earn food for the winter, so that they will not freeze to death or starve to death.”
However, Gu Tianya's face was still pale, his eyes were unfocused and he muttered: "This is impossible, we don't have the ability."
Zhaoning said loudly: "How is that impossible? I have a lot of skills! I can sell my private property and go to aristocratic families to exchange for a large amount of food. My private property is very valuable, and any family would want to buy it. Gu Tianya, look up! , you look at me, you remember, I, Zhaoning, for your wish, for your dream, even if I sell all my property, I will only feel very happy..."
This confide in the heart made everyone look sideways, but Gu Tianya seemed to be suddenly awakened by thunder, and suddenly shouted: "I thought of it, Tian Chan, haha, Tian Chan, Zhaoning, we have a solution The aristocratic family invaded the property of the previous dynasty, and the Detachment of Women can ask them to fine them, but you must have enough courage to do this, after all, it is going to touch the interests of many aristocratic families..."
Zhao Ning was stunned at first, then a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and suddenly he said softly: "My best friend, the most important thing is courage."
She has military power!
Chapter 34 [Why does the family hate people]
Why do you say that the aristocratic family invaded the property of the previous dynasty?
Zhaoning, who was born in a top wealthy family, could understand this matter, but the soldiers present certainly didn't understand it.Therefore, Gu Tianya felt that he should explain it to everyone, lest people misunderstand that he wanted to encourage the Detachment of Women to do evil.
He looked at the crowd slowly, and said loudly: "Since ancient times, in the past dynasties, the family has controlled the inheritance of knowledge, mastered the paper, pen and tongue, and through these means, it has continued to grow and develop. In the process of inheritance and growth, in order to ensure The children of the family need to spend countless resources to study and practice calligraphy, so they must continue to earn money."
He stopped here for a while, and then said: "There is a saying that is good. It is better to make a penny a day than to sit and eat. If they want to ensure the continuity of the family, they have to continue to open up the road to wealth. So, brothers, I will test everyone now. If you become the helm of the family, which method do you think is the most likely to be exposed in this world? rich?"
This question is not so much a test of everyone, it is more like he is guiding and reminding the soldiers.
It's a pity that he overestimated the quality of the soldiers of the Niangzi Army.
Since ancient times in the land of Yanzhao, there have been many generous and tragic people. If you think about it in a positive way, it can be understood that the land of Yanzhao is more likely to produce heroes.
But if we analyze the actual situation, we are actually saying that the people in Yanzhao are relatively tough.
Throughout the dynasties, this area has seen the most bandits and giant bandits.
Many of these soldiers of the Detachment of Women came from bandits in the mountains. Although they have now become soldiers from Liangliang, they still have banditry in their bones.
Gu Tianya actually asked them which method is the easiest to get rich?
Ha ha!
This simply made everyone happy.
I only heard a soldier laughing and said excitedly: "Why do you relieve your worries? The only way to get rich is to get rich. If you want to get rich, you will open mountains and rob roads. Hahaha, the brothers of the Gu family are very nice. , it turned out to be a fellow, ah ha ha ha, not bad, not bad, really good!"
This soldier hadn't finished speaking yet, another person approached with a big laugh, his face was also full of excitement, his eyes were shining, he grabbed Gu Tianya's arm, and laughed wildly: "Come on, come on, we brothers will have a good life in the future." Get close, brother, my name is Yan Jiu, and the catchphrase I used in the past is that this mountain was opened by me... Brother Gu, tell me quickly, do you want us to grab it? This method can make people get rich. "
Even Niu Laosi, who had a simple and honest face, put his big head over at this time, and said Hanhan: "It's great to block the road and rob..."
Gu Tianya's face twitched continuously.
Beside him, Zhao Ning seemed to be blushing with embarrassment, the Goddess of War was afraid of being noticed by Gu Tianya, she quietly stepped back a few steps to the side, hiding like an ostrich, only to feel that her face was burning hot.
It was hard for her to imagine how astonished Gu Tianya's expression would be if one day she revealed her identity. I am afraid that after that time, she would no longer be a princess with a heroine in his eyes, but the most beautiful princess in the North of the Tang Dynasty. A tough female bandit leader.
"This group of rammed goods, go back and clean them up one by one..." Zhaoning gritted his teeth with hatred, and scanned these soldiers with vicious eyes.
Especially that bastard named Yan Qi, who even instigated my Tianya to learn from this mountain? Is it me?This princess will write down this matter first, and I will definitely let you know why I can become your leader later.
The Goddess of War hid in the corner and was furious secretly. She had already recorded all these soldiers in her small notebook.
On the contrary, Gu Tianya seemed to have figured something out at this time, and suddenly smiled and waved his hands to the soldiers, saying: "The answers of the brothers just now are barely close to the answer. , but their methods of robbing are more ruthless..."
He paused while talking, his tone became a little quicker, and he said again: "As we said just now, if the family wants to ensure the continuity of inheritance, it must ensure the continuity of the family's wealth. Where does the wealth in the world come from? I think that all money is born from the soil. For example, merchants do business, and the goods they sell come from the soil. Sangma, copper and iron are all assets born from the soil... What is the soil? The soil is the land under our feet, so The most important way for an aristocratic family to ensure continuous wealth is to continuously obtain land.” (Voiceover by the author: In ancient times, it was a land economy)
He paused again, and continued to say: "The family's thirst for land is simply a kind of madness that penetrates into the bones. If they are in the prime of their lives, they will use money and grain to buy, although there will be some things mixed in during the period. Shameful methods, but after all, they still have to guard a high-sounding bottom line. If it comes to troubled times, their methods will be much more ruthless..."
"You mean robbing?" That soldier Yan Jiu couldn't help but interjected, this guy was still obsessed with wanting to rob.
Fortunately, Gu Tianya already knew the nature of these people, so naturally he would not criticize them too much, but nodded and said: "Yes, it is indeed robbery!"
His tone suddenly became low, and he said slowly: "Why do I say that the aristocratic family invaded the property of the previous dynasty? It is because I have seen and heard it with my own eyes over the years. For example, in Miyun County, ten miles away, there is a man named Miyun The Sun family, since the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, this family has been grabbing land. Hebei Dao soldiers have been suffering for many years, and often a certain village encounters wars. At this time, the land became unowned property... But, only the next day, these unowned lands suddenly became owned again, and the owners of these lands were all the Miyun Sun family... ..."
These words clearly have a very deep implication.
Although the soldiers present were not well-informed, not all of them were fools. Someone had already heard Gu Tianya's hint, and couldn't help frowning and thought deeply: "The village was slaughtered overnight, and the land became ownerless. However, it only takes one night for the land to become the property of the Sun family, doesn't that mean? Doesn't that mean?"
Suddenly, many people suddenly realized, and subconsciously blurted out: "Doesn't this mean that the Sun family is using military disasters to plunder land?"
Gu Tianya took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "It's not just using military disasters, it's completely they are instigating, as long as the Miyun Sun family takes a fancy to the land of any village, they will immediately encourage the soldiers and bandits to attack each other, and then take advantage of the chaos Take food, and occupy the land in pieces."
When he said this, he suddenly stopped, looked at Zhaoning who was hiding aside, and said softly: "You may have been curious in your heart why our village doesn't have its own land, even if it is a little graveyard for burials, it's not enough. You need to go to Mrs. Sun to buy it in a low voice... Now, let me tell you the answer, the reason is very simple, our village wants to survive!"
How smart Zhaoning is, she immediately understood when she heard the words, she had a pretty face thoughtful, and said softly, "Give up the land? Keep the village?"
Gu Tianya nodded heavily.
He subconsciously turned his gaze to his mother.
The widows in the village also looked at Gu Tianya's mother.
Zhaoning's heart moved slightly, he couldn't help but also looked over, surprised and said: "Could it be your idea?"
"It's the old man!" Aunt Gu nodded slowly, and sighed: "The Gu family village is not only close to the big river, but also has a lake not far to the southeast, with mountains and rivers on the back, and an official road in front. The land is too fertile, my old husband told me before he left that the land is fertile and abundant, it is a blessing in a prosperous age, but it is a disaster in a chaotic world..."
The old lady paused here, and breathed out again: "During those years, it was really scary. I watched several villages around me being slaughtered, and many acquaintances died overnight. I know that our village is likely to have this kind of fate, so I discussed with some old people in the village, and we all begged the Sun family in Miyun to sell the land at a low price, one penny per mu."
Selling land cheaply, one acre for one penny!
This is almost indistinguishable from giving away for nothing.
However, the exchange is that Gujiacun can survive in the troubled times.
At this time, Gu Tianya took over the quarrel and said in a deep voice: "This kind of situation in our village is actually very common in the entire Hebei Province, even not only in Hebei Province, but also in the entire Central Plains, because there are people everywhere in the world. The family, the family will inevitably plunder the land in troubled times, and if you want to plunder the land, the best way is to massacre the village."
He paused for a while, and then said: "Maybe other than the method of massacring the village, they occasionally spend a little money to buy the land of the poor who cannot sustain it. Even if they spend money, it will be very little, almost the same as It's like taking it by force, forcing the poor to sell it."
Zhaoning looked thoughtful, and said softly: "It's like the story you told me not long ago, the woman in the next village sold herself for fifty dollars, obviously she could sell it for two or three hundred dollars, However, in order to buy food for the children, the price has to be suppressed..."
Gu Tianya nodded, and said: "When the family bought land, they also used this method. The poor people couldn't survive, so they had to sell the land."
He glanced at Zhaoning, then looked at the soldiers present, and said in a deep voice: "Instigating military disasters, slaughtering villages and plundering land, taking advantage of the troubled times, oppressing the poor, everything the family does is to get the land...the fact It proves that they have indeed done it, but this is a kind of encroachment, a bloody encroachment. These lands originally had owners. Even if the Tang Dynasty was established, they should belong to the common people. It's all the blood of the poor."
He paused for a while, and suddenly his tone became firm, and he said loudly: "What we have to do now is to recover this debt for the poor. Since the aristocratic family is fattened by drinking the blood of the people, then let's scrape off their flesh and get the proceeds." Money is used to hire people, the way of heaven has reincarnation, and the world will eventually have its rewards. They owe the people the cause, and naturally they need to repay the people. The reason why I tell you so much tonight is nothing more than to tell you a truth , we may use tyrannical means, and may be unreasonable in the process, but our original intention of doing this is clear, because we are not trying to plunder wealth for ourselves..."
"Okay!" The soldiers shouted in unison, and everyone's blood spurted, as if there was an inexplicable heat in their chests, which could hardly be suppressed.
They used to be bandits, and later they were recruited into soldiers by the Detachment of Women. Unfortunately, they fought for half their lives without knowing why. Only at this moment tonight did they suddenly feel that life had meaning.
Soldiers, in troubled times, cut down.
What if it was a time of prosperity?
Paul also!
Keeping one side safe and sheltering the people for their lives is to defend the home and the country, and this is the original intention of soldiers.
At that time, in the sixth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, in the winter, in a small village in a remote part of Hebei Province, a young man tried to guide others for the first time, telling a group of soldiers who were bandits and bandits about the morality of their family and country.
There are endless roads in life, and the leader should be the first.
This should be the true meaning of being an official.
……
...There will be another chapter later, opening the first secret
Chapter 35 [Various Books Left by Dad]
"What are you going to do?"
Zhaoning suddenly opened his mouth and said softly: "Although the Women's Army is in the north, the aristocratic family should not be touched lightly. After all, the court has been established, and some rules still need to be followed."
She hesitated for a while as she spoke, as if she was a little worried, and said softly again: "The aristocratic family is best at fighting under the rules, and the Detachment of Women may not be an opponent in this respect."
Gu Tianya laughed, and suddenly raised his hand and knocked on the blackboard beside him, then he raised the second box with the other hand, and said: "Before, I asked my mother for two boxes, one of which contained It's chalk, the chalk is mainly used to draw a rough map of the station for everyone, so that everyone can understand our station intuitively, and as for the things in the second box, it will allow us to find the means to destroy the family."
He was talking about eradication, not dealing with it.
It is hard to imagine how powerful the aristocratic family is, almost having the power to control the world. The Tang royal family used to be an aristocratic family, otherwise it would be impossible to compete in the world in troubled times.
For such a powerful existence, Gu Tianya actually used the word annihilation just now.
Zhaoning was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly, subconsciously said: "How is this possible, the family cannot be eliminated."
Unexpectedly, Gu Tianya smiled mysteriously, and suddenly raised his hand to hold the box in front of her eyes, saying: "If you don't believe me, let's open it and have a look."
Zhaoning was extremely curious, and couldn't help but said, "Okay, I'm going to take a look."
Gu Tianya didn't procrastinate, he simply opened the box.
After opening it, I found that it was full of books. As far as I could see, the first book looked like a booklet, with a line of small characters written on the cover, which was still the kind that Zhaoning could not understand.
Zhaoning blinked his eyes a few times, and suddenly said to Gu Tianya: "These words are really weird. They are all specious, and it is very difficult to read. Among the ten words, I don't know seven or eight of them."
Gu Tianya knew that she was suspicious, and said with a smile: "According to my mother, these are simplified characters created by my father himself. My mother said that my father is too lazy, so he specially created simplified characters for easy writing. You Didn’t you find out that the strokes of these characters are all relatively small..."
When he said this, his tone was very natural. Obviously, he had heard his mother tell him this since he was a child, so he was already used to this statement.
However, after Zhaoning heard this, he looked awe-inspiring, and said solemnly: "Your father is definitely a well-educated man who can actually create characters."
Gu Tianya was slightly taken aback, then suddenly nodded for some reason, and said solemnly: "That's quite right, my father is indeed like that, his knowledge is like a vast ocean, I'm afraid I can't finish it in my life. Don't you know? , how many things do I have to learn every day, hey, "Three-year college entrance examination", "Five-year simulation", "Physics", "Chemistry", my father left countless books, all of which my mother forced me to study, up to astronomy Down to geography, plus the strategy of doing business and living in the world, whether it is useful or useless, my mother has to force me to learn it every day..."
Zhaoning's eyes were pierced by Jin Xing, she just felt that she had never heard of any of these knowledges, you must know that she was from a royal family, and the Li family used to be a top wealthy family, unexpectedly there is still something she doesn't know, the knowledge in this world is really like a vast ocean.
At this time, Gu Tianya had already picked up the first booklet, and read it to her: ""The Situation in Troubled Times, Pretend to be Tough"!"
After reading, Gu Tianya himself became curious, obviously he had never read the books in this box, so his face showed a look of deep interest.
He hurriedly opened the booklet and began to read roughly, but after reading a few pages, his face gradually became dumbfounded.
Zhaoning looked curiously from the sidelines, and couldn't help but put his little head on it, but he happened to see a passage in his eyes, which was surprisingly written in traditional Chinese characters.
I saw that paragraph read: "Son, don't believe this. If you pretend to be forced in troubled times, you will definitely be severely slapped in the face. Your father and I were originally dissatisfied, but in the end pretended to be forced and lost everything. This book It’s useless, throw it into the fire and burn it...Since your mother can give the box, it must be the end of the troubled times. Dad suggests that you read the next few books. it works."
This passage was written in traditional Chinese characters, so Zhaoning could also recognize it. Curiosity was written on her face, and she felt that Gu Tianya's father must be a weird person.
Gu Tianya's face was a little embarrassed.
Taking advantage of Zhaoning's curiosity, he quickly retracted this book, and then picked up the second one.
This book is still a booklet, and the simplified characters are also printed on the cover.
""Three Thousand Ways to Get Rich"!" Gu Tianya's face twitched a few times, and he quickly put away the book again.
