I am the king of the dead
Page 657
Why does His Majesty refuse to be decent, preferring to lose face and insist on mobilizing the Beijing army to Jiangxi!
Why is His Majesty so determined to promote the Farm Law, and does not allow the slightest doubt!
They are all children, the difference between cloud and mud.
"Mother!" A clear and clear voice rang out, and the only child beside the waterproof bag without a bamboo hat suddenly stood up, stepped on the waterproof embankment with one foot, climbed onto the waterproof bag, and ran quickly to In front of an academy.
While running, the child shouted loudly: "Mother, I'm big and strong! Mother!"
A woman with a veiled hat and a food box in her hand was so startled by the shout that the food box in her hand almost fell to the ground. The woman said sharply, "Guardian! Stop him."
"I'll tell you again, I'm not your mother!"
After finishing speaking, the woman hurried into the courtyard gate, not looking at Da Zhuang behind her anymore.
Several nurses laughed and pressed the child's head, teased him for a while, then pushed Da Zhuang to push him away.
A nursing home stood up and squatted in front of Da Zhuang and said, "Your mother has climbed a high branch and become Mr. Chen's little girl. She doesn't recognize you anymore, so don't come here again."
"That's not it!" Da Zhuang stretched out his hand and grabbed the nursing home in front of him. He is a six or seven-year-old child, how can he be the opponent of the nursing home?
The nurse grabbed Da Zhuang with one hand, and shouted with a ferocious face: "How dare you hit me?! Kill you bastard!"
The other nurse stood up, grabbed the nurse and said, "Forget it, forget it, the bleeding from the shot, wouldn't it pollute the eyes of the gentlemen? You can't see this the most."
Only then did the guard let go of Da Zhuang, spat viciously and said, "Fuck you! Get out!"
"Let's go! If I see you again, I'll beat you!" Several nurses went to drive away the children under the waterproof belt.
Yao Long watched this scene silently, the child was being bullied, the mother had already walked into the yard without even looking at the child, the nurse was driving away the child yearning for knowledge.
"Where is the academy?" Yao Long held an umbrella, staring blankly at the still extremely peaceful Bailudong Academy, as if he was asking himself or the sky.
No one could answer his question.
His Majesty once said that in the midst of suffering, one who can taste the sweetness and enjoy the happiness is an inexhaustible slave.
But if this slave also learns to bully others, what is it?
Better than beasts!
The life in the nursing home is obviously miserable, and it can be seen from the disheveled faces of these nursing homes that they are actually not living well.
But the nurses were able to bully these children confidently and bully others viciously.
And who made them like this?
Yao Long stepped onto the frame and headed down the mountain. When he was halfway up the mountain, Yao Long suddenly said, "Stop."
The child named Da Zhuang curled up and squatted by the bank of Guandao Creek, with his head buried in his arms, and his shoulders kept shrugging.
The sage said: My way runs through it, so this stream is named Guandao River.
Da Zhuang heard footsteps, and then the rain falling on his body disappeared, and a big umbrella covered the rain curtain.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Yao Long, and he backed away a little scared. In his heart, these people who read books didn't have a good thing, but Yao Long had a very kind face.
"Son, is that really your mother in the academy?" Yao Long squatted down slowly, ignoring the accumulated water on the ground, and wet his clothes.
Da Zhuang shouted loudly: "Yes! That's my mother!"
"What about your father?" Yao Long continued to ask.
Da Zhuang said in a daze, "He's dead. I don't know where my father died. People in the village say that he lost the bet and died."
At Da Zhuang's age, he may not understand the meaning of death.
Yao Long learned about Da Zhuang's story.
Da Zhuang's father was a farmer in Qingshan Town. Originally, the family had more than 20 mu of fertile land, so it was not considered a farmer. In Daming, a farmer refers to a farmer with less than ten acres of land.
Da Zhuang's father became addicted to gambling three years ago and became a gambler. Then the family's [-] mu of land was also gambled out, and not long after that, even Da Zhuang's mother was gambled out.
Da Zhuang was too young at that time, no one wanted him.
Da Zhuang's father had two fingers chopped off in a gambling shop, and he had no money to watch, so he didn't know where he died.
Da Zhuang has been growing up eating a variety of meals for the past two years, taking a bite today and a bite tomorrow.
Then Da Zhuang heard that his mother had been sold to the academy again, where she served as a junior for Mr. Chen.
The Mr. Chen seems to be a celebrity who came from Suzhou. When he arrived at the place, Lu Shanzhang gave Da Zhuang's mother to Mr. Chen.
Da Zhuang was sure that was his mother, very, very sure!
Because when his mother first saw him in the academy, she held him and cried for a long time.
But he was seen by Mr. Chen from the academy, and then his mother never recognized him again.
After listening to the whole story, Yao Long patted Da Zhuang's head and said, "Do you want to go back to Jiujiang Mansion with me? I'll send you to the Nursing Home. You don't lack any arms or legs. Someone adopted you."
Da Zhuang finally nodded and said, "Okay."
Most of the unemployed people in the nursing home are deformed households, that is, disabled and deformed. People like Da Zhuang, who have all beards and tails, can find a family in a short time.
Yao Long's driver didn't go straight to Jiujiang Mansion, but went to Qingshan Town first. As soon as he entered Qingshan Town, Yao Long saw the big "gamble" from afar.
In the spring of the 22nd year of Hongwu, Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, observed the people's sentiments and found that there were many idlers and gamblers inside and outside the Nan Yamen, so he built a Xiaoyao Building.
This Xiaoyao Building is a gambling house, which can accommodate three to five hundred people. It is decorated with elaborate decorations and gambling equipment, and it is free for gamblers to play. There is no charge and at the same time, they will lend them money to gamble.
Repaying the loan for free, the idle gamblers in Nanya headed straight to Xiaoyao Building, and then officers and soldiers surrounded the entire Xiaoyao Building, starving all the gamblers to death.
In the spring of that year, Emperor Taizu Gao issued another edict: All gamblers cut off their wrists.
What Yao Long watched was a story meeting called "Jinling Trivia". It is impossible to verify whether there is Xiaoyao Tower or not.
But in the spring of the 22nd year of Hongwu, it was true that Emperor Gao ordered gamblers to cut off their wrists.
The scale of Qingshan Town is not very large, but there are only three gambling houses. Yao Long didn't get off the car. He only took a look and knew exactly who these gambling houses belonged to.
Jinxi Lu's business.
The gambling house business is extremely profitable. It is self-evident who can build these three extravagant gambling houses at the foot of the White Deer Cave Academy.
Da Zhuang's father, did he go to gamble by himself, or did someone lure Da Zhuang's slightly less wealthy father into the casino?
The fields of the Jinxi Lu family are all over Jiangxi. It is self-evident how this field came about.
The land of the Yao family in Tonglu was bought, because the Yao family already had a business in the sea, and buying land when they had more money was almost an inevitable choice for many wealthy surnames.
Therefore, the Yao family did not flee, but stayed in the Ming Dynasty to abide by the law.
Yao Long returned to the Jiujiang government office, and when he saw Yang Han, he immediately asked, "When will His Majesty's Beijing army come to Jiangxi?!"
"Don't inquire about the military affairs uncle." Yang Han looked at Yao Long because he didn't understand.
Before going out, Yao Long, who tried to persuade him not to do anything but to mediate, came back in such a state, even more eager than him, which is indeed a bit strange.
Yao Long recounted his experience from the beginning to the end, and said angrily: "What a saint's court, what a place of enlightenment! Shit! The rivers are full of pollution, and the mountains are full of diseases!"
Yao Long is a scholar, and when a scholar scolds others, he is really vicious, even scolding Lushan and Guandaoxi.
Yang Han is a common man, when he gets angry, he will only call a motherfucker!
Yang Han went to Haichao Village with His Majesty, and he also met Yang Tie. Master Yang in Gaochang Township treated his tenants, and Master Lu from Bailudong Academy treated the common people.
Yang Han said with a playful face: "I was thinking, without court officials to speak for them, Lu Shanzhang is still so confident, what on earth does he rely on?"
"This is something that needs to be understood. As long as we can understand their cards, we can deal with them early."
Yang Han thought about it, what are these gentlemen relying on? The courtiers have already expressed their attitude. If they don't want to take advantage of His Majesty's nest, why is Lu Laixuan still so obsessed?
Did Lu Laixuan think that His Majesty's cavalry couldn't draw their swords?
Is Lu Laixuan an idiot?
Of course it is possible.
But the chances of so many gentry behind Lu Laixuan being idiots are very small.
Yao Long frowned and said, "I have some ideas about this. In fact, it's complicated and complicated, and simple and simple. It's just collusion between officials and gentry."
The collusion between the government and the gentry is complicated, but to put it simply, it is actually just the old stories of old sesame seeds and rotten millet.
"Tell me in detail." Yang Han became interested and motioned Yao Long to talk about it.
Yao Long said quite solemnly: "Lu Laixuan and Jiangxi Shibajia's high-ranking surnames obviously won't rebel."
Yang Han said in deep agreement: "It is inevitable. In addition to paying taxes three times for rebellion, you have to lose your head, and your family members will be exiled in chicken coops for logging. The Ming Dynasty has no room for the gentry to rebel. I won't be fooled a second time."
This is a valuable historical lesson, and it is also the reason why Lu Laixuan dared not to cooperate with violence, but only dared to non-violent non-cooperation.
Yao Long took a sip of tea and said, "When the farm law was implemented in Fujian, there were a few cases. The farm law in Yong'an County, Yanping Prefecture was implemented smoothly, but it was not implemented at all. The seven townships, 24 A farm, it’s all on paper.”
"At that time, the lecture hall and the lecture hall were only the first phase, and there were not so many generals and commanders, so they were concealed by the Yong'an county government."
The matter is actually far more complicated than what Yao Long said. It is full of experience and lessons. Now that the lecture hall and the lecture hall have reached the ninth session, there are enough generals and commanding officers.
Yao Long explained the doorway in detail.
"According to what you said, the child you brought back, if you sent him to the nursing home, wouldn't it be sold?" Yang Han knew that His Royal Highness King Xiang was hiding dirt in the nursing home in the capital. .
Even if the Jingshi Nursing Home was like this, wouldn't the Nursing Home in Jiujiang Mansion be much better?
Yao Long shook his head and said: "I haven't sent him yet, I will take him back to the government office first, and I will send him after the matter is over."
Yang Han kept nodding his head, Yao Long was very careful in his work.
Yang Han thought for a moment and said: "There are still many people who have been forced to such a level by these gentry. We have to hurry up and check this gambling house before the arrival of the Beijing army."
Yao Long thought for a moment and said, "Cutting off the wrists is too cheap for them. Let's send them to Jilong Island for logging and create some value."
"Let's see, after the inspection of this gambling house, Lu Laixuan must be clean and innocent."
Yao Long and Fei Yiying are the same, they understand the work style of these high-ranking surnames very well.
Chapter 713 The Great Emperor Stays in Jiujiang Mansion
On the surface, the gentry are all poetic, gifted, famous, well-educated, courteous, modest and polite, and everything they do is loved and respected by the villagers. Even if the gentry go to someone's house to have a meal, the people will also bow to their prosperity. , and have honor.
But the real faces of the gentry were concealed, and they all held knives that killed people without blood.
The gambling shop is the same knife, the collusion with the local officials is the same knife, the money store is the same knife, the brothel is the same knife, and the thin horses in Boai Township are socialized and raised. Nursing homes are all about that knife.
Why is Lu Laixuan so stubborn?
Because the land is dependent on the strong person, it is protected from generation to generation, and it is infinitely beneficial, and it is a bridge leading to hereditary succession.
Yang Han took Tiqi to search the gambling house, and sure enough, as Yao Long said, this gambling house has nothing to do with Bailudong Academy.
Yang Han, as the commander of Nanzhen Fusi, handles many cases of this kind. In the city, the brokers and compradors are playing, but outside the city, it is bandits and wandering people who gather together.
How can the casino and the good people be involved? !
Yang Han launched a crackdown on gambling houses in Jiujiang Mansion for more than a month, and conducted a thorough inspection of all major gambling houses. With more and more cases, it became clearer and clearer who was behind the gambling houses.
Using gambling houses to earn people's money, and then using people's money to buy people's land, this is the way that great benevolent people collect the land under their own names.
Of course, the great benevolent people have to say it, it is the people who voluntarily want to gamble!
Willing to bet and admit defeat!Buy and leave!
But judging from the situation that Yang Han has mastered, this is definitely not the case.
There are various ways to lure the common people into gambling houses. For example, a refugee in Guijia Village became rich overnight; for example, a bachelor in Shangwu Village won a beautiful lady;
Not to mention that the common people and farmers were confused, even Yang Han felt confused when he saw it.
On September [-]th in the eighth year of Jingtai, the days are getting shorter and shorter. It has entered late autumn, and the weather is getting more and more depressed. Autumn is originally a harvest season, but Yang Han and Yao Long can still see people selling their sons and daughters .
When autumn comes, it’s time for the farmers to repay the green rice money. Farming can’t pay back the high-interest green rice money, so we have to find a way, otherwise the debt collectors will just grab it.
Selling children and daughters is obviously the only way.
People who can afford to buy children are mostly wealthy families. Children who follow such a family can at least survive, instead of being exchanged and eaten in the event of a famine.
If it is sold, the children can at least survive.
Therefore, parents who sell their children and daughters are grateful to the buyer, nodding and bowing incessantly.
Yao Long could only lament how difficult the people's livelihood was, while Yang Han waited at the south gate for the Ming Dynasty's Beijing Army ships to come to Jiujiang Mansion.
The evening drum sounded, and Jiujiang Mansion started a curfew. Within a quarter of an hour, the streets were quiet, and the autumn wind was blowing the fallen leaves, making it more gloomy and desolate.
Soldiers stood at the entrances of the important streets, checking the pedestrians who had not returned home. The lights were just on, and red or white paper lanterns were hung in front of some houses at the end of the street. The lights were extremely dim, and they swayed under the eaves. .
