Chapter 4
"but……"

After thanking him for his kindness, Huang Dian suddenly changed the topic, "Your Majesty, if you share the money with the brothers, the brothers will naturally be grateful. Even others can't say anything, but this land allocation..."

Speaking of this, Huang Dian paused and did not continue.

Seeing this, Zhu Yijiong naturally understood what this guy was going to say. It was simply that the money was divided in person when he first entered the house.

There is nothing wrong with him, King Zhu, using his own money to reward his subordinates.

But this field allocation is different.

In the context of ancient agricultural society, land is the foundation of a country and the primary productive force.

When they first entered the government, in order to avoid intensifying conflicts and affecting the war situation, Du Junying and Zhu Yijiong had a tacit understanding and deliberately did not mention the matter.

But now, he, King Zhu, suddenly issued an order to allocate fields to his brothers.

Doing this is like slapping Du Junying in the face!

Moreover, it was not just Du Junying, but also those who surrendered their troops and generals.

Although these guys are all defeated generals, where there are people there are entangled interests.

He, King Zhu, actually dared to eat alone without permission. This would have happened if he had not given those people a reasonable explanation (benefit).

Those surrendered generals should not rebel, but they are likely to completely fall to Du Junying.

This King Zhu and him are not only evenly matched, but have also always had a cooperative relationship.

Now, forced by the general situation, he must bow to King Zhu.

Du Junying is already very dissatisfied. If all the surrendered troops and generals turn to him, and there is such a trigger...

But the problem is, it doesn’t work if we don’t separate.

King Zhu had just praised Haikou in front of thousands of brothers.

If this is not fulfilled, I am afraid that the morale of the people who have just been gathered together will immediately dissipate.

Therefore, Huang Dian had to clarify the matter in person regardless of the time and occasion, for fear that his eldest brother would get sick due to a sudden brain fever.

Yes, it is an illness.

If you don't get sick, how can you think of such a bad idea as dividing the fields?

Zhu Yijiong looked at Huang Dian, who had a somewhat impatient expression, and stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder: "It doesn't matter, I know what's going on. Just do it, my second son."

Ah this?

After Huang Dian heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he immediately understood that his eldest brother was determined to get sick.

Fine!Whatever the elder brother says is what he says.

At worst, we'll end up fighting with Du Junying's grandson!
Who is afraid of who!
"King Gaoyi!"

Huang Dian gave him a firm flattery.

"Ok!"

Zhu Yijiong nodded slightly, "By the way, there's one more thing. Since the money has been distributed to the brothers in the main barracks today, there shouldn't be any favoritism in the miscellaneous barracks.

Pass my order, from now on, the two meals a day in the military camp will be changed to three meals a day, and the food tubes will be enough. Don't let outsiders know that we and other rebels are treated differently within the army! "

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Huang Dian heard this, although he felt it was unnecessary, he still nodded in agreement.

"Well... after we finish arranging for the brothers to receive the money, second brother, you can call the other brothers to come to the main account. We brothers, let's do the total!"

Camp campus.

A dozen tables have been set up in front of the original table.

On the table, there was a yellow pile of copper coins piled up like a hill, making the soldiers queuing up in front of the table swallow their saliva from time to time.

"what's your name?"

"Luo Xiaolin!" "Ten pieces of money, keep it!"

The person in charge of distributing coins at the table immediately took out ten strings of copper coins and handed them over.

In ancient times, a copper coin was equivalent to a thousand coins, or one tael, while a ten coin was equivalent to ten taels.

Zhu Yijiong, who was watching from the side, encouraged him: "Luo Xiaolin, right? Do a good job."

These two short sentences, coupled with Zhu Yijiong's friendly tone and image, and the heavy copper coins in his hand, immediately made Luo Xiaolin feel hot and wanted to bow down.

But Zhu Yijiong stopped him with his empty hand, and there were people queuing up behind him, so he had to go down holding the copper coins.

Seeing this, Zhu Yijiong continued to turn his attention to the next person.

Although he does not need to hand out the money with his own hands, he must keep an eye on it. At least he must be seen by the soldiers, so that they understand that they are eating from King Zhu's salary and serving as his soldiers.

Luo Xiaolin went down holding ten pieces of money in both hands, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.

King Zhu really kept his word, and the money was really distributed.

As a native of Zhangzhou, Luo Xiaolin came to Taiwan out of desperation.

In ancient times, navigation skills were poor, and this kind of cross-ocean migration meant gambling with one's life.

What's more, when you come to Taiwan, you have to face the local headhunters and all kinds of swamp miasma.

That's all because of the government's propaganda. They have land, and they also borrow cattle and farm tools on credit.

When the results came, I found out that the fields belonged to the government, and they had farm tools and cattle, but they had to pay taxes.

If you don't pay taxes, you're a private person (it's true).It is illegal to smuggle cattle, and you will be dragged to work on the board to do hard work.

Ha ha.

The cattle borrowed by the government are private cattle. Do you think it’s funny or not?
what?
Why don't they run away, you ask?
They want to run away, but Taiwan is so big, where can they run?
Hide in the mountains. Not only are there few places with people in the mountains, but they are also easily reported.Where there are no people, there are all headhunters, even the familiar ones are afraid of them, not to mention the miasma of the swamp.

As for leaving Taiwan, the government only leaves a few times a year and only transports government supplies. How can we leave?
Moreover, it would be useless even if he was lucky enough to leave.

Your household registration is in Taiwan. If you dare to run away, you will be a refugee. You will be arrested by the government and worked as hard labor until you die.

Therefore, they can only be next to each other.Originally, if he just gritted his teeth like this, he seemed to be able to endure it.

But later, the county magistrate died, and the damned magistrate directly sent his son to take over.

Then, Luo Xiaolin's nightmare began.

They pay taxes for cutting bamboo, paying taxes for fishing, and even paying taxes for nothing, and even set up a discounted grain levy (all true).

Luo Xiaolin was desperate and couldn't bear it anymore. He happened to hear that King Zhu had rebelled, so he became confused and followed him bravely.

Then, King Zhu led them and actually killed the officers and soldiers along the way and occupied Taiwan.

Even now that he is an emperor, the first thing he does is to distribute money to everyone.

This is a whole ten dollars!
It doesn't sound like much, but when converted into ten taels of silver, it's a lot.

Many Taiwanese people may have never seen so much money in their lives.

Moreover, from what others said, it seems that not only will the money be divided, King Zhu will also divide the fields and land for everyone in the future...

Thinking of this, Luo Xiaolin couldn't help but tighten the ten copper coins in his arms, and secretly made up his mind to repay King Zhu for his great kindness.

There are many people who have the same idea as Luo Xiaolin.

As natives of Zhangzhou, they came to Taiwan to reclaim land and were originally desperadoes.

Who gives them food to eat and land to plant, so what if they sell their lives?

 Historically, when Wang Zhen was in power in Taiwan, he was like a local emperor, imposing levies and levies everywhere, and even appointed his own son as the acting magistrate. The reason why Zhu Yigui sworn sworn homage to Huang Dian, Li Yong and others was not only because of reputation, but also to show his resistance to Wang Zhen. The determination of father and son to commit violence.

  Because among the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes listed by Wang Zhen and his son, one item is that those who worship privately will be punished as treason unless they give money to atone for their sins.

  Zhu Yigui had always been a righteous man and had the nickname Xiao Mengchang, so everyone elected him as the leader.
