I am a pirate in Ming Dynasty

In August, the imperial court received two memorials, one from Inspector Zhu Yi.

He said: The people were forced to starve, Wu's wife Liu had to eat her four-year-old child, hundreds of Yao Chen and Wang Tang sold their mothers with their sons, Cao Hong, a soldier in the army, killed his brother with his brother, and Wang Ming killed his father with his son. There is no return to humanity.

The imperial court was shocked, and Emperor Jiajing was even more nervous. If something like this happened to him just after taking office, wouldn't it mean that he had a bad reputation?

Emperor Jiajing vetoed the results of the previous court meeting and ordered the Minister of Household Affairs to send a letter to the treasury to cut off grain and provide relief. An additional 150,000 yuan was allocated to provide relief to Huai'an and Fengyang prefectures.

The emperor paid 150,000 taels out of his own pocket, but no one had anything to say, not even the Minister of Household Affairs in the court who wanted to stop him. After all, this is not the treasury, but the emperor's own internal funds.

As emperor, Emperor Jiajing had already assumed power. In July, he had already asked Mao Ji, the chief minister who disobeyed his orders, to get out.

Yes, it’s Mao Ji. In May, Emperor Jiajing asked the previous chief minister of the cabinet, Jiang Mian, to get out. The new chief minister, Mao Ji, who took office in May, was laid off after only two months in office. The new one was named Fei Hong.

In the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, this was quite pleasing to his eyes. Yang Tinghe, Jiang Mian, and Mao Ji were all opponents of him.

Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong had a habit of not rubbing the sand out of his eyes, and wanting to get rid of anyone he looked at.

Last month, there were some blind people who caused trouble in Zuoshunmen. They caught those who deserved and beat those who deserved. Zhu Houcong never showed any mercy.

Although he is not the one who speaks in the court now, there are fewer people who speak against it, which is enough to make him happy.

Touching the handle of the dragon chair and looking at the ministers standing below who dared not move, Zhu Houcong felt that this country belonged to him.

"I have this memorial." Jin Xianmin, Minister of the Ministry of War, came out and took out the memorial and said: "Your Majesty, I have just received a secret report that Datong rebelled. General Jia Jian and the governor Zhang Wenjin were killed. The rebel army was led by the commander-in-chief Zhu Zhen. Commander, this military situation is extremely urgent, please make your decision, Your Majesty!"

"What?" Zhu Houcong stood up in shock and said angrily: "Asshole, hasn't Datong always been very good? Why did the mutiny suddenly happen? In these troubled times, Jin Xianmin, tell me how to solve it?"

Jin Xianmin immediately replied: "Your Majesty, at this moment, we should send troops to extinguish the rebellion in time. At this time, the rebel army is not stable. It is a good time to send troops. If we miss it, it may cause trouble in the future."

"I don't know what you're talking about?" Zhu Houcong was disgusted with such clichés, but all the ministers in the court had the same tone. He couldn't count on this group of ministers, so he said: "Let's discuss the leaders of the army and see which of your beloved ministers can quickly put down this rebellion."

"Your Majesty, I think it is too early to send troops at this time. The cause of the mutiny is that the supervisors are too cruel. It is better to be gentle. I think the censor of Qiandu patrols Datong to appease the rebels. In this way, doesn't it look like the imperial court Shengren? It also shows that the emperor is broad-minded?" Yu Jian, the censor of Zuodu, came out.

Zhu Houcong was actually very excited when he heard that there was a good reputation that could be gained. He had not done any good things recently, and his reputation had been ruined a lot. It was not good to continue like this, so he nodded and said: "Okay, according to Aiqing's wishes, which one Can the censor take on this important task?"

Yu Jian said: "You can change the governor of Xuanfu and the censor Li Duo to care for him."

Zhu Houcong nodded and said, "Yes, if that's the case, then let's draw up the decree."

The imperial edict was drafted in accordance with the court's wishes, but who knew that Li Duo was worried about his mother (Yi Ye checked, mother's worry in classical Chinese refers to his mother's funeral), so the imperial court could only draft the edict a second time, and promoted God to bless you and the emperor. Shi, governor of Datong.

The court is troubled enough, but with this court meeting, at least Huai'an Mansion's life will be a little easier. But for the people, this famine caused them to lose a lot, the fields they relied on for their livelihood, and even their families.

The living plan prepared by Qin Shang only saved some people, and more people came to receive relief, but they were faced with the life of becoming tenants. Without acres of land, they could only farm for large families and rely on their masters. Living on the meager wages given.

In early August, Qin Li also got in touch with the Gao family and was very willing to handle this batch of goods. At the same time, he was deeply concerned about Qin Shangan's safety.

Gao Rongxuan also personally wrote a letter to Qin Li, probably talking about how close the two families should be, and also expressed that his son wanted to visit the Qin family again.

Qin Li naturally agreed to this, so he also replied with a letter, saying that he would get closer and welcome Gao Cai to come and play.

Qin Shang didn't care about these things, but in early August, Qin Li finally sent his husband over, thirteen boys and two scholars.

One of the scholars bought it for fifty shi of grain. Qin Shang was speechless at the price.

Fifty shi of grain, at this time it sells for 10,000 taels, and people are rushing to buy it. How about buying a big living person?

Anyway, this is the first time Qin Shang has seen such an expensive living person. His brother Qin Li is also very arrogant. I don’t know if it is worth the price to give such a heavy gift!

Qin Shang didn't want to think about these troublesome issues. The teachers were in place and the children's learning tasks had to be kept up with the schedule.

How many classes are given in a day and what is taught must be clearly arranged. Otherwise, if we rely solely on the teachings of these Confucian scholars, I am afraid that some saints will be born from these children.

First of all, when it comes to text selection, the Three Character Classic and Thousand Character Classic should be used for Chinese calligraphy. These two books are sufficient for Chinese calligraphy.

As for other extended knowledge, Qin Shang really has no idea. He would like to give more classes on painting, calligraphy, music, etc., but there are no such capable people.

However, Qin Shang still collected a lot of books about these "not doing business properly" and put them in a temporary library.

The location of the school is directly out of the Qin family in Yangjiabao, with about ten rooms dedicated to teaching.

The sound of reading every day can be heard from inside to outside, so the village chief Yang's father can come and visit several times a day.

At noon, Father Yang came again, carrying several roasted chickens.

Qin Shang looked at the meat on the table and looked at Yang's father with a half-smile: "Village Chief, do you have something to worry about when you come here several times a day?"

Father Yang wiped his hands and stood aside helplessly, with his mouth open, but he didn't know how to speak.

"Village Chief, if you have something to say, please tell me. With the relationship between Yang Jiabao and my Qin family, if we can help, we will not delay it."

Father Yang then timidly said: "Young master, it's actually nothing. The villagers saw this gentleman who has taught him how to read, so they wanted to ask if they could let their boy come over and learn how to read."

Qin Shang was stunned and said with a smile: "Village Chief Yang, don't be so polite. Everyone in the village is sent here if they have children. But what I want to guarantee is that if you have a boy, you must at least have one." A girl, if it were all boys, there would be no need to send them.”

Yang's father was surprised and said: "Why did you send the girl here? Wouldn't it be better to let the boy come here to study?"

Qin Shang shook his head and said decisively: "Without a sufficient number of girls, the school will not accept children from Yangjiabao."

Regarding Qin Shang's strength, Father Yang could only nod helplessly.

The level of equality between men and women may not change in the next hundreds of years. The only thing Qin Shang can do is to make the balance between men and women a little more balanced in his own field.

Seeing Yang's father leave in frustration, Han Zhaoxi brought a cup of tea to Qin Shang to moisten his throat and asked casually: "Why do you insist that girls also go to school?"

"Shouldn't it be right?" Qin Shang asked back.

Han Zhaoxi thought for a moment and said, "There has been no such rule since ancient times."

"Then I'll make this rule!" After Qin Shang finished speaking, he continued to focus on writing textbooks.

After a long while, Qin Shang murmured: "On our way back, the children we saw being cooked were all girls, right? What I'm doing now is just that I don't want girls in the future to become a piece of meat in other people's mouths."

Han Zhaoxi couldn't help but want to vomit when she thought of that scene. She seemed to understand the reason why Qin Shang did these things. Even if she didn't know, she would support it. This is because she is also a female group.
