Chapter 281: The Sorrow of the Great Ming
Old K, you did it on purpose. ”
As soon as the bartender went out, Zhu Yihua slapped the table and pointed at Guo Dandao.
Guo Dan said: "Be reasonable, Ah Kun, I'm helping you." ”
When they played the landlord invented by Guo Dan on the boat, they also took their nicknames, Guo Dan is Lao K, Zhu Yihua is Ah Kun, and Xu Jirong is Xiaojie, corresponding to KQJ.
"What do you say?"
Xu Jirong said curiously.
Guo smiled lightly: "What is the most feared thing about being a human being, that is, the other party is slandering behind his back, and now I have helped you ask out, the people of Weihui Mansion want you to die, you have to strike first and kill them all." ”
Yang Feixu, who had always been silent, sneered: "This is really a good idea. ”
Xu Jirong whispered: "Brother, I can hear it, they are sarcastic about you." ”
"I know."
Zhu Yihua glared at Guo Dan obliquely, gritted his teeth and said, "I won't pay back the one hundred taels." He turned his head and glared at Yang Feixu again, thinking about it, he was still a bird.
You're still thinking about money at this time, and you're really hopeless. Guo Dan hurriedly said: "These are two different things, you can kill me, but you can't help but pay back, otherwise, I won't play with you." ”
"You..."
Zhu Yihua gritted his teeth, but still endured and didn't make a sound.
After a while, the wine and food came up, and Zhu Yihua drank three glasses of wine in a row, clenched his fists, and gasped for breath.
Guo smiled lightly: "Ah Kun, it's easy to get drunk when you drink stuffy." ”
"You have to take care of it."
Zhu Yihua said angrily.
Xu Jirong grinned and said: "Old K, it's okay, if my brother is drunk, just throw him to the Qinglou." ”
Zhu Yihua said: "Don't talk nonsense, I asked you to go before, but you didn't go, I found such an unfortunate place, the food was not delicious, the wine was not delicious, and Lao Tzu didn't eat it." ”
Guo smiled lightly, raised his glass to Xu Jirong and said, "Xiaojie, let's drink." ”
"It's done!"
Xu Jirong raised his glass and touched Guo Dan, and then drank it all.
Zhu Yihua glanced at the two of them, then looked at Yang Feixu, got up and said, "Xiaofei, let's drink." ”
I saw Yang Feixu immediately raise her long legs and slash down, and the only chair beside her suddenly shattered to the ground.
Zhu Yihua subconsciously took a step back, and then sat back honestly.
"It's bloody! Come on, Xiaojie, have another drink, suppress the shock. ”
"it!"
Xu Jirong would not accompany Zhu Yihua to get angry, and chatted with Guo Dan.
After a while, a guard walked in and said to Zhu Yihua, "Young Master, the house has been found." ”
"Let's go, then."
Zhu Yihua stood up.
Xu Jirong said: "We haven't finished eating yet. ”
"No more!"
Zhu Yihua roared.
Xu Jirong looked at Guo Dan aggrievedly.
Guo Dan shrugged and said, "Then let's go." ”
After a while, the bartender walked in again.
Guo Dan gave him the money for the meal, and then pointed at Yang Feixu and said, "She broke the chair, you ask him for compensation." ”
The bartender couldn't help but look at Yang Feixu.
Smack.
Yang Feixu pulled out his knife.
"It's chair money."
Guo Dan hurriedly took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into the bartender's hand, the bartender was overjoyed, the silver could buy several chairs, and thanked him again and again.
After the bartender went out, Guo Dan glanced at Yang Feixu and wiped his sweat, he would rather offend the prince than offend women, especially this kind of smart woman.
Zhu Yihua blinked, then hooked his finger at the guard.
The guard immediately walked up to Zhu Yijiao.
"Give me the saber."
"Yes."
Guo Dan rolled his eyes and put one hand on Zhu Yihua's shoulder, "Ah Kun, it's not easy to use this trick in your hands, we are in the same boat, if you want to make trouble, then everyone will die together." ”
Zhu Yihua pursed his lips and strode out.
Out of the restaurant, Zhu Yihua walked in front with a sullen head, in comparison, this Guo Dan and Xu Jirong are much more leisurely, look at the east, look at the west, if they don't agree, they just buy, buy, buy, and they are so unhappy.
"It's really relieving to eat it."
"Eat big, eat hard."
Suddenly, I saw two young men, one holding a big round in his hand, and eating it heavily.
Xu Jirong was extremely curious when he heard this, and shouted, "Two little brothers, please stay." ”
The two young men looked at Xu Jirong.
Xu Jirong said: "What are you eating, and you can still relieve your anger?" ”
A young man said, "This is yo-yo, if you are angry, go buy something to eat, and you will not be angry after eating." ”
"Really?"
Xu Jirong hurriedly asked, "Where did you buy it?" ”
"Right in front of the alley."
"Thank you, thank you!"
Xu Jirong immediately ran forward and said to Zhu Yihua: "Brother, have you heard, this yo-yo can relieve your anger, let's go and buy some too." ”
As he spoke, he pulled Zhu Yihua and ran forward.
Guo Dan also hurriedly followed.
After walking for a while, I saw Xu Jirong and Zhu Yihua, two fools, standing in front of a stall, and there were many people standing around.
"It's a really good business." Guo Dan said to himself, he didn't go over to join in the fun.
After a while, Xu Jirong walked over with a few big balls in his hand, "Old K, Xiaofei, you can also taste it." ”
"No, you don't."
Yang Feixu refused.
Guo Dan picked one up, took a bite, and said, "The taste is very ordinary!" It's just a glutinous rice dumpling. ”
"There's nothing special about it." Xu Jirong said to Zhu Yihua again: "Brother, are you still angry?" ”
Zhu Yihua snorted, "Something that's a deception." ”
It happened that a young man who had just bought a yo-yo walked by, and Xu Jirong hurriedly said: "This little brother, isn't this yo-yo eating to relieve his anger?" Why don't we get angry at all when we eat? ”
The young man looked at him and said, "Why should I tell you?" ”
An ingot of broken silver appeared before him.
The young man's eyes lit up, he took the silver, and said to Guo Dan: "If you know the meaning behind this slippery, then you will eat and relieve your anger." ”
Xu Jirong hurriedly said: "If you have any explanation, talk to me quickly." ”
The young man said: "This is not easy to say, you go and inquire, and the name of King Lu will be understood." Farewell, farewell. ”
With that, he left, and heard him mutter, "I'm in a good mood today, so I won't eat yo-yo." ”
"What does King Lu's name mean?" Xu Jirong tilted his head and thought.
"Give me one."
Yang Feixu stepped forward and picked up a yo-yo.
Xu Jirong was surprised: "Don't you don't eat it?" ”
Yang Feixu said: "Eat to relieve your anger!" ”
"Huh?"
Xu Jirong was even more confused.
Xu Chun hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words in Xu Jirong's ear.
"I used to eat my brother."
Xu Jirong suddenly realized, and looked at Zhu Yihua again, only to see Zhu Yihua was speechless, his handsome face became red, and the slippery pinch in his hand was no longer formed, he hurriedly said: "Brother, don't pinch anymore, do you know, you are pinching yourself." ”
“......!”
The wisdom of the people is endless, you can keep their mouths shut, but they will try their best to express their thoughts.
Zhu Yihua used to go out a lot, but this was the first time he went out in disguise, which allowed him to see a world he had never seen before.
Guo Dan sighed to himself: "Let's go." ”
They went out of the city again, and came to a house on the edge of the city, where the inn was not inhabited by people, and before they arrived, a guard had arrived and helped them rent a house.
"Brother, are you still fighting the landlord? ...... Silent? Then I'll squint for a while, I'm a little sleepy. Yes---! ”
Xu Jirong, who had no heart and no lungs, fell on the recliner in the courtyard and fell asleep.
Guo Dan came to sit down next to Zhu Yihua and said with a smile: "As for being angry?" ”
Zhu Yihua said: "It's not you who eats, of course you're not angry?" ”
Guo Dan said: "But you also got the Luwang Mansion, got the money, got the woman, it's too much for you to be angry." ”
Zhu Yihua sneered: "You just want to make fun of me, don't you know." ”
"Don't dare."
Guo Dan smiled and said, "I just think that everyone loves money and women, but as long as you use your brains more, you can achieve fame and fortune." ”
Zhu Yihua said: "Do you want me to do business with you?" ”
"It's a good idea." Guo smiled lightly.
Zhu Yihua snorted: "Don't you know that our vassal king can't do business. ”
Guo Dan's eyes widened and said, "Really? ”
Zhu Yihua said: "Our vassal king used to be a farmer, and he was not allowed to do anything, but now he can participate in the imperial examination, but I am a prince, and I don't need the imperial examination." ”
"Is that so?"
Guo Dan pondered with his eyebrows, and after a while, he finally searched for a little memory of the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty.
It turns out that the vassal system of the Ming Dynasty is a kind of captive system, once the feudal domain, will be locked up in an area, under normal circumstances, it is not allowed to leave, even if your parents die, it is not allowed to come out, you must know that in ancient times, filial piety was very important.
It can be seen how strict this restriction is, and these farmers and industrialists are not allowed to participate.
This is all because Chengzu was the vassal king who seized the throne, so the first thing he did when he ascended the throne was to prevent the vassal king from rebelling and not to have a second Zhu Di, so he set up a captive system, that is, the court took money to support them every year, so that you don't think about anything, don't do anything, just eat, drink and have fun every day.
Let these vassal kings become mentally crippled, and there is no threat.
For example, Zhu Yihua drank prostitution and gambling from snacks, and did not do his job, but he was rarely criticized, and the ministers also said that King Lu's mansion spent too much money, and did not accuse King Lu of bad character, because this is the performance that a vassal king should have, and you can't be too wise.
At first, it was okay, because there were not many vassal kings, but the family was locked in a high-class cell, and there was nothing to do except give birth to children and play, and as a result, the more and more children were born, and the country gradually couldn't afford to raise them.
Since Jiajing, some ministers have begun to realize this, and have begun to lift some restrictions, such as allowing the princes and brothers of the feudal domain to participate in the imperial examination, allowing them to earn their own food, and at the same time restricting them from having children, but with little effect.
Later, Zhang Juzheng also took a lot of measures.
But it's all a palliative, not a cure.
So much so that many people later analyzed that it was because of these vassal kings that they emptied the treasury and led to the fall of the Ming Dynasty. The saddest thing is that whether it is Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, or Houjin, when they called, only a few vassal kings were willing to pay, and the rest were unwilling to give, and as a result, as soon as the city was broken, Li Zicheng and them were cheaper.
This is actually a kind of retribution, no wonder those vassal kings, they are all mentally disabled, how can you expect this kind of person to stand up in times of crisis and make a wise choice, this requirement is really too high, they really don't necessarily understand what skin does not exist, and Mao will be attached.
Take a step back and say, everyone's ancestors have made great achievements, glory and wealth are all deserved, but you Zhu Di raised others as pigs, although he didn't even let go of his own children and grandchildren, that is, he reaped the consequences.
But it is always the people who suffer.
This is also the sorrow of the Ming Dynasty.
