I'm a big dick

Chapter 405 The Change I Feel, The Conspiracy of Slavery

It's over, it's over, it's over.Regardless of the result, the whole person is relaxed!Code out a chapter, a little hasty, the train of thought has to be restored and adjusted, please forgive me.

Divider.
It doesn't matter whether the emperor is wise or stupid; regardless of the disputes in the court, the strife of bureaucrats, and the selfishness of officials.Living in Daming, daily changes are inevitable.

In fact, even the days that people think are the same are not exactly the same every day, and there will be changes to some extent.

It's just that this kind of change is very slight, or if you don't feel anything about yourself, it will be regarded as a daily copy.

This is the same as in later generations. Many people think that they are repeating boring days such as going to work, leaving get off work, going home, eating, and sleeping every day.

For ordinary people, this feeling should be stronger.After all, it is not easy for them to be busy supporting their families without freezing or starving.

And those rich and powerful, who have time and money, go looking for new things, looking for excitement, eating, drinking and having fun in different ways.

To put it bluntly, having money and leisure will not make people feel boring and repetitive.Don't use it for casual trips, even if you go to have a drink every now and then and have a tooth festival, it will make you feel good.

But the ordinary people of Ming Dynasty felt the change more and more, and felt the change of life.

What else do ordinary people want, as long as they can live a decent life, they are quite satisfied.But the people of Daming, as the bottom of the society, are the first to notice the changes in their lives.

Maybe it’s just a one-year tax reduction, but for them, it means that they can eat a few more meals of meat, and they can buy household items that they have wanted to buy for a long time but have no money to buy. Meat dumplings.

The reason why there is such a change, the common people may not be able to say beautiful words to compliment the "sage wise", but they are not ignorant.

Which wealthy gentry nearby was severely punished for concealing tax evasion, and which official was ransacked and exiled for corruption. Ordinary people either saw it with their own eyes or heard rumors.

Maybe they just watched and listened before, and sent a few words of resentment, because it really had nothing to do with them, and they didn't get any benefits.

But now it's different, the court has money and can reduce or exempt taxes, it seems that those evil gentry and corrupt officials are severely punished.

With fewer corrupt officials and less evil gentry, everyone's life will be easier, isn't that the reason?

Looking at those subordinate officials who are usually like wolves and tigers, and those slavish and wicked servants who pretend to be powerful, they seem to be a lot more honest!

The common people still couldn't figure out the meaning of the imperial court, but they simply attributed the reason to this, and gradually paid attention to the fall of corrupt officials and evil gentry.

"The students don't seem to have their nostrils turned upside down anymore?"

"Scholars don't like it!"

"Who says it won't be popular? The imperial court has made another decree, saying that the primary school exam will be set up next year. Well, it's a bit like the children's class. Whoever's child can pass the exam, part of the tax will be reduced or exempted."

"It will start next year, my kid hasn't read a book yet!"

"It's not a year, but every year in the future. It's never too late to start reading."

"That's right. Hey, look, the traitors are here!"

Zhou Laosi tiptoed into the house, but was still discovered by his wife. If he was not afraid of startling the sleeping child, he would have scolded him loudly.

Stared at by his daughter-in-law, Zhou Lao Si laughed dryly and lifted his hand to let his daughter-in-law see the rouge and gouache he bought.

The daughter-in-law's face softened slightly, she turned her head and glanced at the sleeping child, got up and walked lightly to the outer room, Zhou Laosi also followed him knowingly.

"Go to Caishikou to watch the murder again—" the daughter-in-law took the marriage fat gouache, smelled it, and complained displeasedly, "It's bloody, it's scary to think about it, why do you have to watch it?"

Zhou Laosi scratched his head, and said with a smile: "The one who killed was a traitor, so it's not a relief to look at it."

"What are you angry about? Why don't you find a chance to drink with someone." The daughter-in-law curled her lips, not believing that her man was so patriotic and filled with righteous indignation.

Zhou Laosi scratched his head, and said with a smile: "I just drank a little, but I still heard a lot of news, good news!"

"Let's hear it." The daughter-in-law was very satisfied with the fat on her nails, and her expression became more relaxed.

Zhou Laosi gave a stool to his daughter-in-law graciously, and then said: "The emperor has decreed that any child who can pass the primary school exam will be exempted from taxes and poll taxes."

The daughter-in-law listened, and turned her head to look at her man with strange eyes. Zhou Laosi shut his mouth, and then laughed, and said, "You mean our son has passed the primary school exam? He can't go well, say What a little doll who can't make a sentence!"

"It only takes a few years to grow up!" Zhou Laosi scratched his head embarrassingly, but still looked very confident, "Our son just can't get the number one exam, isn't it easy in elementary school?"

The daughter-in-law laughed, and my son felt comfortable listening to this.Although it may be six or seven years, or even ten years.

Zhou Laosi pointed to the salt jar next to the stove, and said: "The price of salt on the market has dropped, and it is better than what we eat at home. It is from the Changlu Salt Factory. The shops all raise funds to buy salt, and many of them People also want to partner to buy it!"

"It's a good thing if it's cheaper." The daughter-in-law was not interested in this, and when she heard noises in the house, she hurriedly got up and walked in, telling her as she walked, "You should work hard at the Weapons Bureau, don't mess around with others. "

"I know, I know." Zhou Laosi nodded repeatedly and agreed, "That's what I said."

Back in the house, the stinky boy on the kang was already awake, neither crying nor fussing, eating his fingers with great relish.Seeing an acquaintance appear, he grinned and smiled.

Seeing her son, the daughter-in-law narrowed her eyes with a smile, hugged her son in her arms, nodded her forehead and said with a smile: "Grow up quickly, your father still expects you to pass the primary school entrance exam and give our family a tax cut!"

The brat was more comfortable in his mother's arms, giggling crisply.

Primary school is primary school, and children are children. What we learn is different, and what we learn is even more different.

"Peace, grant me a seat." The emperor said in a gentle tone, and glanced at the newly printed elementary school textbooks on the table, including Chinese, mathematics, natural knowledge, geography, and history, and seemed to be able to smell the aroma of ink.

"My humble minister, thank you for your long live grace!" After kowtowing, Luo Sigong got up and signed his body on the embroidered pier and sat down.

Zhu Youxiao turned his gaze to Luo Sigong, with a slight smile on his face, he said: "Luo Qing did a great job on this mission. Well, Luo Yangxing also contributed a lot."

"This is the duty of humble ministers and dogs." Luo Sigong bowed and resigned.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "Although it is a job and a duty, there is also the difference between fulfilling one's duties and not fulfilling one's duty, and being satisfied or not."

After a pause, Zhu Youxiao continued: "The Zhen Fusi did a good job, and this is also due to Luo Qing. Luo Qing resigned, I know, and there will be a decree later. Let Luo Yangxing come into the palace tomorrow, I have an explanation."

Luo Sigong got up and knelt down to thank him. Although the emperor didn't say it clearly, it seemed that Luo Yangxing wanted to be promoted.Regardless of whether he can become the head of the Zhenfu Department, it is beyond his control.

After Luo Sigong resigned, Zhu Youxiao lowered his eyes and thought about it, and ordered someone to draw up an order, "Luo Sigong's guards are old and hardworking. Since he is sincerely sick, he is ready to resign for treatment."

Please allow the imperial decree to be issued, and Zhu Youxiao drafted the decree of grace, Jin Luo Sigong Shaobao and Prince Taibao, Shaofu and Prince Taifu, and other property rewards.

From guarding Emperor Tianqi's ascension to the throne, to leading Jinyiwei to inquire about military intelligence, and monitoring the officials' innocence, it goes without saying that Luo Sigong's contributions are not to be overstated.

But Zhu Youxiao was hesitant to let Luo Yangzi take over his father's duties, and he would make a decision after summoning him tomorrow.

Moreover, the responsibilities and work of the Zhenfu Division will also be gradually adjusted, and the Jiannu and Mongolian tribes in the north cannot relax.But in the south, and even overseas, Zhu Youxiao also needs to establish eyes and ears.

At the same time, the Zhenfu Division should also retain the work of monitoring bureaucrats, and form mutual supervision and restraint with Dongchang, so as to prevent one family from dominating and deceiving the saints.

Zhu Youxiao had already thought about these things clearly, and reached out to pick up the elementary school textbooks and flipped through them.

For talents, Zhu Youxiao is quite in need, but he is not a traditional graduate who read the Four Books and Five Classics and took the imperial examination.

Although major changes cannot be made now, the cultivation of new talents does not take more than ten or decades, nor can they meet the emperor's standards.

Let’s read, everyone reads, it’s good!

The emperor put the textbooks on the table and patted them with his hand, thinking that it was a good way to lure them with money.It is not that ordinary people do not know the benefits of reading, but economic conditions do not allow it, and not many people can provide for their children to study hard.

Therefore, part of the tax reduction and exemption also reduces the burden of supporting students for the common people.

Besides, according to Zhu Youxiao's estimate, five years of elementary school, starting from the age of six or seven, can pass the graduation exam by the time of twelve or three.Even if a child of this age can do some work, it will not be of great help to the family.

The poll tax will be exempted sooner or later, but if it is not mentioned now, the common people will think it is a great benefit.When the catastrophe strikes, there will be reasons for the exemption, and the common people will accept it more.

The constant favor to the people is not that Zhu Youxiao hopes that the people will praise him as a wise king and a good emperor.Because he knows that it is those scholars who leave their words in history.

But Zhu Youxiao also understands very well that scholars just have strong mouths, and they cannot cause his rebellion and overthrow his dragon chair; and if tens of thousands of ordinary people explode, it is enough to change the dynasty.

As for Luo Yangxing, as long as he is promoted, whether he is a commander or not, he will still serve faithfully.Of course, Luo Sigong may be able to guess his own thoughts, and he will definitely teach him face-to-face when he goes back, so that his son will perform well in tomorrow's call.

Zhu Youxiao smiled, and reached out to pick up the booklet presented by Luo Sigong.This is what he likes the most. The movable and immovable properties of the eight major locust merchants are clearly registered. In his eyes, it is a dazzling silver mountain full of white flowers.

Jiannu—hehe, money can kill you.

The bloody head was wrapped in cloth, but it couldn't stop the blood from oozing.

"Why does Yongfang do this?" Nurhachi waved his hand, preventing the Li family servant who gave away the head from opening the cloth bag, "Take it back and bury it properly!"

Li Yongfang's eldest son, Li Yangeng, was captured by the Ming army in Fuzhou. Jiannu didn't know about it and didn't take it seriously.After all, their identities are different, so it would be quite different if they were Baylor's son or something.

But after several months, Li Yangeng was released by the Ming army.After Li Yongfang got the news, she didn't even see her face to face, so she was escorted to Nurhachi's place to be dealt with.

Although Li Yongfang had been deposed and neglected, Nurhachi didn't make things difficult for Li Yangeng too much. He just sent Li Yangeng back after asking.

But no one expected that Li Yongfang killed his son and sent his head to show his heart.

To say that Nurhachi has no doubts about Li Yangeng, no one can be sure.In this extraordinary period, even the Jurchens have signs of alienation, let alone the surrender of the Han people.

Li Yongfang was also concerned about this, so she ruthlessly killed her son to keep her family.After all, Nurhachi's suspicion is very serious, who knows when he will fall ill?

The military discussion interrupted by this little accident continued, but there was nothing more to say.

Tong Yangxing wrote a letter requesting to pay for supplies, food and grass to help defend Haizhou Guard, but Houjin's family background is really not much.In particular, gunpowder was tightly blocked, and nitrate could not be obtained from the local area.

In fact, at that time, not only Houjin was short of gunpowder, but North Korea was also short of gunpowder, so they had to buy it from the Ming Dynasty.Of course, if you attack North Korea, you can grab some.

But Nurhachi disagreed with attacking North Korea.In the current situation, Hou Jin really has no chance to attack North Korea.

"North Korea has changed hands, and the attitude is extremely unfriendly. It is not feasible to send people to buy it secretly." Huang Taiji blocked another road with some helplessness.

Daishan coughed twice, and said: "The gunpowder of Haizhou Wei should be enough to withstand the enemy's attack. Tong Yangxing's request in the letter is not particularly strong. According to someone, the Haizhou Weicheng is still a trivial matter. Inventory is the big problem."

Nurhachi was expressionless, knowing that Daishan was right.Haizhou Acropolis is just one place, and the entire Houjin ruled area will face famine, which is the most serious.

According to the current stock, it is only enough for half a year at most, and it is still used carefully and carefully.This is not only a problem in the future, but also affects the military operations of Hou Jin.

Don't think that for Jiannu, "before the soldiers and horses are moved, the food and grass go first" is not applicable.You can't rely on looting to support war with war, and you can only prepare your own slaves.

"How about attacking the Five Divisions of Neikalkha?" Nurhachi's eyes flashed, and he said, "We wanted to win over them, but now they are sworn enemies, so you don't need to be polite."

Huang Taiji, Dai Shan and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling that this was a military adventure with the Ming army surrounding them.But apart from this, there is no other way.

"Hurry up and come back, my son thinks it's good." Daishan took the lead in expressing his opinion, agreeing to a lightning attack, and came back after robbing the cattle and sheep.

Huang Taiji pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement, and added: "It may be most appropriate to attack the Jalut department, because it is the most intimate."

Nurhachi nodded. Although he has a goal, the plan needs to be formulated in detail.

The Ming troops in southern Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Liaoxi were not dead, and they had to figure out what they would do with this.Moreover, even if there was no plan to surprise the Mongolian tribes, the imminent move of the Ming army is a clear fact.
