Soon, among the Confucian family, among the people with foreign surnames, the most important one called out, he is the chief shopkeeper of the Confucian family's shop, and the whole family has served in the Confucian family for five generations, which can be called the oldest and most loyal among the foreign surnames. [No pop-ups. 】

The chief shopkeeper was called up and stood in front of a table, he was the first, and then other tables also ushered in other Confucian slaves one after another.

"Wait!"

Just as the chief shopkeeper was getting ready and answering questions, Cui Mingji interrupted the procedure and stood up.

His appearance surprised everyone inexplicably, Kong Yinzhi, the chief shopkeeper, and even the onlookers, and even the parents of those young slaves, all looked at him.

Cui Mingji turned a blind eye to these, he had experienced a bigger set than this kind of scene, and there was no tension in his heart, he shook his shirt, then found a chair, stepped on it, and stood on the table.

Everyone was confused by him and didn't know what he wanted to do.

And Cui Mingji carried out all this unhurriedly, teasing everyone's patience, and the anxious people had already sent out a buzz of dissatisfaction, and even bad people began to wonder if the other party wanted to do any special treatment.

Standing on the table, Cui Mingji slowly glanced around, and his solemn gaze calmed down the scene.

"Ladies and gentlemen, once again, the Governor wants to make an explanation to those who will register next." Cui Mingji said loudly.

Then he faced the people who were waiting, smiled slightly, and said, "The Ming Empire has an order that there shall be no non-kinship or in-law relationship between citizens and civilians except for employment. ”

This sentence was said in such a way that most people couldn't understand it, and then, many people from the Confucian family who had read the book, including Kong Yinzhi, the head of the Confucian family, all had a change in their faces, and they were pale and hard to look at.

Apocalypse, this faint monarch is going to break the roots!

"Most of you don't understand, it's okay, this governor is here to explain it to you." The whole scene was quiet, only Cui Mingji's voice was echoing, all the onlookers, including the slaves of the Kong family, were all listening quietly, listening very seriously, and even when someone next to them made a little noise, they glared angrily.

"On your files, on your household registration, on your ID card, on the identity column, there are two words written on the word citizen, citizens, have a lot of rights, but also protected by the law, farming and fishing do not need to pay money, do not have to pay the city gate tax, do not need to go out of conscription, if you are willing to farm, the government also guarantees to give you the land. If someone bullies you, robs you, destroys your finances, the government will protect you, you can go to school, join the army, take imperial examinations, do business, and so on. ”

"That's the citizen." Cui Mingji's explanation is quite utilitarian, but the effect is very good, so that everyone can understand at once, it turns out that citizens have so many benefits.

For a while, everyone took out their ID cards one after another, looked at the word citizen written in the identity column above, and smirked.

"Under the citizens, there are also commoners, they are inferior to the citizens, they have to pay taxes for farming, they have to go out into conscription, they can't do business, they can't study, they can't take the imperial examination, and they can't even get the best troops when they join the army, and their status will be the same as you are now, they are sharecroppers with nothing, but the government also protects them, and no one else is allowed to kill, injure, rob their finances, and invade them."

Civilians are what we are now, and that's miserable.

After hearing the descriptions of the civilians, although this is a portrayal of their previous lives, these civilians still said that the civilians were too miserable.

"As for slaves, I believe everyone understands that after selling one's body as a servant, a slave in time, no freedom, no study, and a good life depends on the master's family, and even, after the implementation of the slave status, the descendants will also be slaves, and the imperial examination can not be participated, and life is not guaranteed, let the master's family beat and scold, and if you die, you will only lose money."

Slaves, the people have changed color, this kind of miserable treatment, it is really worse than selling yourself as a slave, selling yourself as a slave can be released, but now this slave status is determined by the government, how to get rid of the master's family, just look at the residents of the guard, how difficult it is to change your identity in the government.

It must not fall into the hands of the common people and the slave class.

This is the most resolute thought in the hearts of all the people at this time. Of course, there is also a group of people whose faces are pale, they are the slaves of the Kong family, they are the slaves of the Kong family, which is equivalent to slaves.

"No, I'm going home!" Countless people shouted in their hearts, but they didn't dare to make any moves, and the soldiers were on guard around them.

Seeing the reaction of the people below, Cui Mingji nodded in his heart, achieving the effect he wanted, and then, he continued, "Your Majesty is merciful, and you can't see the children of the Han family as slaves and servants, so this time the household registration is changed, and all slaves who sell themselves are announced to be unconditionally removed from citizenship and changed to citizenship......"

Oh!

Before Cui Mingji finished speaking, he was interrupted by a burst of cheers, he frowned, but it turned out to be the group of waiting slaves of the Kong family, they were originally cold in their hearts, thinking that they would fall into the civilian or even slave class, but they didn't expect that in the end, they would turn around and have such an ending.

They were so happy that they couldn't help but cheer. Seeing that it was them, Cui Mingji was relieved, his explanation was actually aimed at them.

"Lord Qingtian, Lord Qingtian!" Suddenly, the cheers rang out again, but this time they did come from the families of the slaves. All of a sudden, such a title resounded in the sky again, making Cui Mingji smile from ear to ear.

The excitement lasted for a while before it calmed down.

Seeing that everyone was recovering from the economy, Cui Mingji replied again, "Your Majesty has a will, citizens and civilians are protected by the law, and their status is equal except for certain rights, so there is absolutely no master-servant relationship, only an employment relationship that is hired, signed a contract, and filed with the government." ”

"The master-servant relationship can only be between a slave and a citizen, and it must be allowed by the government." In the end, Cui Mingji said word by word.

The solemn attitude made the people silent for a while, and they looked at each other, as if they felt that this had nothing to do with them.

However, people with vital interests reflected it, rushed to the front, and asked excitedly, "My lord, Lord Qingtian, is that my baby able to come back?" ”

"Yes." Choi Mingji replied to the bold woman with a smile.

"Does that baby have any fields?" The woman then asked.

"As long as he is willing to farm, then there is a share of the land."

"Girls too?"

"Girls too!"

"Will the Kong family arrest her back?"

"No, the law does not allow it, the government does not allow it, Your Majesty does not allow it."

Three in a row were not allowed, which seemed to completely shock the woman, making her stunned for a while.

Wow!

Suddenly, two lines of tears flowed from the corners of the woman's eyes, and she suddenly began to cry out and cry, "My poor girl, your life is so bitter, so bitter, why don't you hold on for a while, hold on more, and now you can go home, and you can get a share of the land and seeds!" ”

The cryer is painful, and the hearer is sad, is this kind of thing happening rarely? For a while, the people who were deeply touched wept silently, remembering that their lives were hard and they didn't arrive at the good times.

"Long live the Holy Emperor, long live, long live!"

Suddenly, although it was chaotic, the shouts of the mountains sounded, and the people knelt down in unison, kneeling down towards Cui Mingji, who was waiting for the emperor, and bowed to pay respects.

Cui Mingji originally wanted to dodge, but when he heard it, he stopped again and took the emperor to accept this gift. When the people had calmed down, he jumped off the table, came to the chief treasurer, and said in a deep voice.

"Once you become a slave, you will delay the life of your offspring!"

The plain but thought-provoking words made the chief shopkeeper tremble, and his whole body turned pale.

"Name..."

The members of the land reform team began to ask questions according to the procedure, but the chief shopkeeper answered with some confusion, until a question shocked him in vain.

"Identity?"

Identity? Citizen? Civilian? Slave?

This identity turned out to be chosen by himself, not by someone in the government. Faced with this choice, the chief shopkeeper was suddenly confused.

His family has been a slave and a servant in the Confucian family for five consecutive generations, and his loyalty is known throughout Qufu, and everyone praises him, and even the scholars who came to the Confucian family to meet the traveling scholars know their deeds, and they are also praised and envious.

Is this all going to end today?

No, it can't be over, the reputation of my ancestors can't be ruined in my hands! I can't disgrace my ancestors! I can't let people point to the ancestral grave and scold the three family slaves!

Thinking of this, the chief shopkeeper was shocked, his eyes were clear, and he suddenly made up his mind in his heart, and resolutely said, "I am a slave of the Kong family......"

At this time, Cui Mingji's voice remembered, interrupting his words, "Think clearly, after becoming a slave, not only you, your son, your grandson, your children and grandchildren are slaves, there is no way to change it, you look at the back, is that young man your grandson, how clever he is, full of bookish atmosphere, don't you want to send him to the imperial examination?" Don't want to be an official? Don't you want to glorify your ancestors? ”

I didn't want to do it three times in a row, and when I got on the stage, the mind of the chief shopkeeper was messed up again, and the official-based China was not good at being an official, and everything had to make way for this.

The chief shopkeeper looked back, and in the crowd in line, his wife, his son, and his grandson were all looking at him eagerly. Hopefully, you make the right choice.

The look of anticipation made the chief shopkeeper's determination to be ruthless suddenly shaken, and made him tremble all over, that is the desire for the future, the hope for the future!

"I'm old and hopeless, and I can't let young people have no hope anymore!" The chief shopkeeper took a deep breath, closed his eyes tightly, and then opened them suddenly, and said resolutely, "I choose...... Citizen! ”

The loud words contained strong determination and perseverance, however, when they reached Kong Yinzhi's ears, they almost made him spread to the ground, "It's over, even the most loyal chief shopkeeper is like this, let alone others!" ”

Cui Mingji, on the other hand, smiled, "Kong family, it's over!" ”
