Dressed as a widow, raising cubs, farming and building infrastructure in Ming Dynasty

Chapter 49 Dispute
Qin Liu also spoke louder and argued: "It is wrong to rob and kill!"

The little mute sneered: "Robbery is wrong, but you Han people are right? We grassland people are short of medical treatment and medicine, and we only hope to have a piece of tea cake, but you Han people will not sell us tea cake and will let us fend for ourselves. Don't go Damn, do we really deserve to watch our family members die of illness and starvation?
When you have natural or man-made disasters, the government will provide relief.When our grasslands are in drought and the cattle and sheep herders are starving to death, will you Han people sell us grain?Won't! "

Qin Liu opened his eyes and tried hard to open his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Old Man Lou came over at some point and said lazily: "The Han people occupy a good place, rich in products, and can be self-sufficient. The Ming Dynasty set up nine-border towns to prevent the Mongolian cavalry from invading southward, and also strengthened the economic blockade of the grassland.

Since the time of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, the imperial court has specially managed tea horses. The tea horse trade is an important measure to control the relationship with snow areas and grasslands.

You prairie men are all heroes, and the old man admires them very much.It's just that you are good at fighting a war, but you are terrible at governing the country and bringing peace to the people.That's why Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, started out as a beggar and ended up seizing this great country with a broken bowl begging for food.

I, Emperor Hongzhi, was kind and opened the mutual trade between Mongolia and Han, and your life on the grassland has been much easier.

As for the current closure of the mutual market, we Han people cannot be blamed for the dispute started by Dayan Khan. "

The little mute lowered his head, pursed his lips, and threw a branch into the bonfire, causing a burst of sparks and shining ashes.

Old Man Lou ignored him, picked up the wine bag in his waist, took a big sip, and said: "It's no wonder. The glory of the Golden Family has only lasted a few hundred years. You, the descendants of Genghis Khan, have the ambition to dominate the world." I can understand it if I’m vigorous.”

Qin Liu thought of the blood all over Ma Ang's body and the helpless state when he came to her when he killed someone for the first time. He couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his heart and murmured:

"The car is rattling, the horse is Xiaoxiao, and the pedestrians have bows and arrows at their waists.

The grandfather and wife walked to see each other, but the dust did not see Xianyang Bridge.

Qianyi stopped his feet and cried, and the cry went straight to the sky.

People who pass by the road ask pedestrians, but pedestrians travel frequently.

Or from the [-]th Beifang River to the [-]th Xiyingtian.

When I went, I was head-wrapped, and when I returned, I was still holding the side.

The side court bleeds into sea water, and Emperor Wu has been willing to open the side.

You don’t hear about the two hundred prefectures of the Han family in Shandong, where Jingqi is born in thousands of villages.

Even if there are healthy women who plow the hoe, there is nothing left in the sage.

In addition, Qin Bing endured hard work and was driven by dogs and chickens.

Although the elder asked, how dare the servant express his hatred?

And this winter, Kansai died without a break.

The magistrate urgently asks for rent, where does the tax come from?
Believe that knows to give birth to men is evil, but it is better to have a daughter.

If you give birth to a daughter, you have to marry Proxima, and if you give birth to a boy, you must bury it with Baicao.

Don’t you see Qinghai’s head? No one has collected the bones since ancient times.New ghosts are annoyed and old ghosts are crying, the sky is cloudy and rainy, and the wet voice is chirping! "

Everyone stopped talking and looked at the bonfire silently. Only the sound of the matouqin was still melodious.

After falling asleep at night, Qin Liu suddenly dreamed again.

……

This time she dreamed that she was taking care of the middle class and managing the servants under the guidance of her stepmother.

During dinner, her stepmother especially praised her in front of her father.

I have to say that my stepmother is a very good person and treats her like her own child.Although he looks ordinary, his moral character is quite noble.

My father looked at the dishes on the table, frowned and said, "Nowadays, the Tatars from the steppes often invade the nine borders, and the imperial army lacks food and pay. My father advocated reducing the burden on the people, and ensured it by reducing palace expenses, civil engineering, and redundant officials. Military salary supply. The emperor has already agreed. As the chief assistant, our family should also set an example of strict economy. From now on, for every meal, only one hard dish will be used on the table. The braised prawns and braised lamb, don’t On at the same time."

The stepmother was stunned, looked at her reassuringly, and argued with a smile: "Our family can't do this or that, and now we can't even have a nice dinner? You are busy with errands for the Ministry of War, and Ah Jiang is also My body is growing, I am breastfeeding, and it will still be a few months before I am weaned from breastfeeding. How can a hard vegetable be nutritious?"

A look of shame flashed across the father's face: "You are wronged by marrying me, a fifth-grade military driver, as your step-brother. It's just that our Liu family comes from a poor family, and my grandfather is just a priest in the village. Father, he has to meet this old man. A wise king who knows people well and appoints talented officials to chief assistants should be self-disciplined and dedicated to the public service and set an example."

The stepmother pursed her lips and said quietly: "In recent years, the royal family and relatives have spent too much extravagantly. The expenses of Guanglu Temple have increased dozens of times. Thousands of new patterns have been made in weaving everywhere, and spirits have appeared in the sky. Palaces like Taishan, Wudang, etc. Tens of millions of taels were spent on building restaurants and setting up memorial ceremonies, and Taicang's official bank account was running low. Instead of giving it to the outside world, it was taken into the inner palace to the tune of 50 million taels. The nobles of the vassal and feudal lords begged for land and seized salt, which cost hundreds of thousands. What if we can save the money and transport it to the border to pay for the military? How can we save just one or two dishes at our house?"

The father sighed: "Father, he was the emperor's lecturer when he was in the East Palace, and he was also honored as sir by the emperor. The emperor and his ministers have known each other for decades. How come these words are not admonished? It's just that the emperor has been working hard for more than ten years, and now he is tired. Like He enjoys having fun and being a good man, and he is also keen on arranging fasting and setting up memorial ceremonies. Even the memorials are reviewed much too slowly. How can he listen to these words? I hope that this time my father repeats the same old tune, and the emperor can listen to it!

It all depends on people, and our family still has to set an example.If everyone just talks but doesn't do anything, how can we get anything done? "

While ladling soup, the stepmother said: "Other families have a father who is the chief assistant, and his son is a high-ranking official and well-paid. Unlike you, he was born as a Jinshi but did not get any glory. After all these years, he is still a small official from the fifth rank. Promotion. When it comes to promotion, it means promoting talents and avoiding relatives."

My father smiled and said, "That's a mistake. Our great uncle is a capable official. My father said that his idle position as the Minister of Taichang Temple in Nanjing is an unworthy one. He will be promoted to the capital after the inspection next year. The right deputy of the Procuratorate is the Censor, and the Mu Shou is on the other side. He is a high-ranking official of the third rank, with real power!"

The smile on the stepmother's face couldn't stop overflowing, but she said with disdain: "From the third grade to the third grade, it's not a big promotion. It's just a move from a pensioner's idle position to a real power position, but it makes things more and more annoying. , not a good job!"

The father laughed loudly and squinted: "Are you serious? Then I will go back to my father and don't transfer him..."

The stepmother smiled and slapped her father gently: "Look at you..."

……

After waking up in the middle of the night, Qin Liu stared in silence for a while.

My grandfather was a chief minister, an upright and honest chief minister who promoted the virtuous and avoided relatives.From the perspective of character and moral conduct, the Liu family has a clean and upright family tradition and is honest and dedicated to the public affairs. It is not a pedantic family that requires the young ladies to have their feet bound.

How could such a family have a rebellious and unconventional person who got pregnant out of wedlock, and how could they not accept this weak and desperate baby girl?

What is the truth behind this?
When she gets back, she must ask clearly.
