Chapter 40: Meet you in the middle of the thorns!(1/2)
The poor prince was rescued like this and was carried away while watching the streets.
Fortunately, he was already in a coma.
In this way, he would not have to face those eyes that were enough to make him collapse. As for whether his important organs can be used normally in the future...
"frenzied!"
Yang Xin said indignantly.
It was so swollen like a purple eggplant!
Of course, he can't blame him, mainly because of his lack of scientific knowledge. He didn't know that there was a rope tie method to be a eunuch at this time! This was mainly misleading the memoirs of our Qing Dynasty father-in-laws. In short, this was just a small accident. He had never thought of letting Mr. Wang and Jiu Qiansui and others go side by side. In fact, the father-in-law did not necessarily cut all of them at this time. The death rate was too high. Generally, the Ming army caught prisoners of war and did so recklessly. But the people solved it themselves, such as Jiu Qiansui, who cut eggs, and even didn't cut eggs since childhood. Just like what he did to Mr. Wang, he found a rope to tie it, or found a veteran to pinch it when he was a child...
This is very dangerous.
For example, eunuchs harmed the women of the people, and eunuchs stuck in the small eunuchs and couldn't get out. Such records were very complete in the Ming Dynasty. It is said that eunuchs in the military harmed the wife of officers, and there were also people in the West Courtyard who specially picked up their guests, and their business was booming. They even ate the king chicken and were chased to the palace to ask for debts.
As for those like Jiu Qiansui, it is even less rare.
It was not until our Qing Dynasty that we could do everything in one size fits the whole thing.
From this point of view, our Qing Dynasty still has made progress in technology.
In the Ming Dynasty, like Shuntian Prefecture, especially in the Hejian Prefecture, Yang Xin claimed that his hometown, there were many people who had great ambitions like Jiu Qiansui, who solved the problem first and then went to the palace to serve the emperor. Many people even had solved the problem themselves, but they could not enter the palace because they had no way.
For example, Jiu Qiansui wasted a lot of time outside the palace.
In this case, it is impossible to expect them to accept a 30% mortality rate, let alone take the initiative. They just sell private salt, and being a bandit is also lower than the mortality rate of the knife. And what father-in-law has, how many people are successful? Such a high mortality rate and such a low return rate are simply impossible to attract people. They all have the courage to give themselves a knife, so why not do those with lower mortality rates? In the end, how many can be produced in nine thousand years? Only this kind of mortality rate can be ignored can truly attract those people with dreams to join their father-in-law's army...
Uh, what's wrong with my father-in-law?
My father-in-law is also a promising profession.
The father-in-law of the Ming Dynasty was an internal official, a type of official, and there was no essential difference between them and court officials. The eunuchs had a tonic on their chests, and they were also a tonic on their bullfighting.
"It's really crazy!"
A voice beside him suddenly said.
Yang Xin turned his head in shock and looked at a young man in a blue shirt. The latter was watching Prince Wang leave with a sigh, and then he shook the folding fan on his chest...
"Sun Chuanting, whose courtesy name is Boya!"
He turned his head and smiled.
"Yang Xin, the name is..."
Yang Xin suddenly realized that he had no words.
Although he dresses in wool words every day, he forgot that it is essential for scholars at this time.
"The word "Shoucheng"!"
On the other side, Chen Yujie suddenly appeared and said, shaking his folding fan.
"Cheng Yujie, a student of Songjiang, whose courtesy name is Zhanyi!"
He smiled at Sun Chuanting and said.
Yang Xin was sad to find that he did not have a folding fan.
"The prince and the prince encountered this trouble. Not only did they have no mercy, but they watched like a monkey show. Is this a sage taught? Only Brother Shoucheng can treat it with compassion. This is respectable. We cannot build our own joy on the pain of others. It is straightforward and thought-provoking. This sentence is better than ten thousand words!"
Sun Chuanting said.
"I have always been like this!"
Yang Xintian said shamelessly.
Chen Yujie on the other side looked speechless.
"Brother Boya, if I remember correctly, Brother Boya is a new Jinshi?"
He said.
"Shame, I'm just a three-legged student!"
Sun Chuanting said modestly.
Chen Yujie glanced at Yang Xin with a profound look.
He reminded Yang Xin that everyone is not a member of the same place, so don’t say anything with a big mouth.
Although he was also a scholar, his student was purely for the convenience of walking. As for him, he had long since stopped reading the Four Books and Five Classics. In essence, he was a new young man who had accepted Western thoughts and was still reading the book Yawei. Even though this book was ruthlessly stripped down by Yang Xin. It was precisely because he was different from the scholars who had eight-legged essays that he got along with Yang Xin and even Cao Wenzhao, but in essence he was an alien among scholars, and corrupt scholars must not be willing to join such peddlers and barbarians.
But Sun Chuanting is different. This is a true Confucian scholar in the Ming Dynasty.
So everyone is not the same person.
Especially now that they have passed the Jinshi exam, they are the official. If you talk nonsense, be careful that they will give you a traitor and confuse the public. First, send it to the yamen to make a slap.
"That's worth getting drunk!"
Yang Xin said with a smile.
Chen Yujie immediately had uneasy eyes.
Based on his understanding of Yang Xin, it was obvious that this guy had a conspiracy.
The three of them got together like this, and then walked forward with the fun crowd. They soon went to a restaurant and found a table on the window on the second floor, sitting down, drinking and chatting. Sun Chuanting just passed the Jinshi this year, but he was not appointed until yesterday. He would be the magistrate of Yongcheng, Henan. In fact, his ancestral home was Guangshan, Henan, but he was just a Wei family, so he moved to Daizhou, Shanxi. Of course, the Sun family had been in Zhenwuwei in Daizhou for more than two hundred years, so he could almost be considered a native of Shanxi, just like the Fang family's ancestral home in Zhejiang, but now it can be said that he was a native of Daxing.
The two generations of Hongwu and Yongle used countless southern immigrants to cleanse the northern Hu dust.
"Yongcheng, Ding family!"
Chen Yujie said.
"Brother Shengru's second-tier high school."
Sun Chuanting said.
Yang Xin looked at them with a pure face.
"Yongcheng Ding family, Ding Kuichu was a Jinshi in the previous subject, and his nephew Ding Qirui was a Jinshi in the second class in this subject, with two Jinshi in one subject."
Chen Yujie explained to him.
"Successful people!"
Yang Xin said with a smile.
"You mean something!"
Chen Yujie said.
"Don't get me wrong, you are a successful person too!
Although you are a scholar and have not even passed the exam, your family is rich! With money, you can solve many problems. Our Ming Dynasty has the first power and second largest silver. They are all useful, not to mention that your uncle is still an official, and although he is only a sixth-rank Zuo Zanshan, he still hopes to make a fortune. Brother Sun is also a successful person. Although you are only a county magistrate now, you will become a prefect, a minister, and even a prime minister next time. Therefore, you are all successful people.
Then please ask each of the two successful people to answer my small question.
If you have the right, come first!"
Yang Xin said.
"Brother Yang, please!"
Sun Chuanting said with interest.
"Who do you represent?"
Yang Xin asked.
"Sun doesn't understand."
Sun Chuanting said a little embarrassedly.
Obviously he didn't really understand.
"Then I'll just say it directly. If you go to Yongcheng to be a magistrate and your Jinshi family is hiding the land, we all know how many acres of land you have to be an official do not need to pay taxes. If the Ding family has 10,000 acres of fertile land but in fact, there are only those that he does not need to pay taxes in the government, what would you do?
Please do not avoid this question, this is inevitable!
In fact, we all know that everyone does this. As long as there are conditions, they will conceal their land, otherwise what is the purpose of becoming an official? Is it just for the salary for the court? Which official will rely on his salary to support his family? Hasn’t a Haigangfeng emerged in the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years? So as a magistrate, will you remeasure his family’s land and collect taxes according to the law? This is your responsibility. In theory, you must do this. If we assume again that Ding Qirui was also appointed to be a magistrate in Daizhou, then will you clear the land of the Ding family? We all know that the Ming Dynasty’s finances are always insufficient. Will you use this method to help His Majesty make the finances sufficient?
Please answer, answer according to your conscience!”
Yang Xin said.
"Brother Yang, this..."
Sun Chuanting smiled but said nothing.
Chen Yujie looked at Yang Xin in horror.
"Do you want me to answer for you?"
Yang Xin said.
"Brother Yang, I don't know, but I will...!"
Sun Chuanting said frankly.
"No, but you know very well, what is the root cause? You also know very well, that it will be futile if you don't attack at the root cause! But you dare not attack at the root cause, because you are also in it, you are an official, you represent the interests of the gentry, you belong to the gentry class, if you dare to betray your own class, you will become a treacherous minister, countless impeachments will come to you, and all officials and gentry regard you as enemies. So soon you will no longer be able to gain a foothold, and then you will be kicked out of the officialdom, and even the officials and gentry in your hometown will unite to deal with you, so you are a smart person, you know how to be an official, you don't even dare to do Haigangfeng, you will only continue to sit idly by and watch the officials and gentry conceal their land and not pay taxes.
To be continued...
