Kong Yinzhi cried!

The gentry of Shandong are crying!

They were completely frightened by De Shizi, this master can visit the Kong family today, and he can visit them tomorrow, who knows if his brain will have convulsions and visit everyone one by one.

Now they finally fully understand that this prince has a problem with his brain, and he is simply a mad dog who catches and bites whom, and it can't be reasoned with. If you provoke this mad dog, you are likely to bite someone when you see it.

Gotta hurry up and buy food and peace!

When the news of the prince's visit reached the Lu Wangfu in Yanzhou Mansion, Zhu Yipai was dumbfounded.

"The general said that he would come to Yanzhou in three or five days at the latest, and the general also said that it was really rude to fail to visit the king last time he hurried through Yanzhou......

Standing in front of King Lu, Li Xin said loudly the "good news" that the prince had come to visit!

What good news is there!

Zhu Yipai thought to himself in his heart, this is obviously because I don't have enough food, and I want to come over to ask for food, if I dare not give food, maybe he will use the Taizu sword to kill him!

As soon as he thought about it, a cold sweat broke out on Zhu Yipai's back.

"It's okay, according to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal kings don't meet, and I also ask Li to join the army and report to the general after he returns, although the two feudal clans are friendly, they can't violate the ancestral system. As for the donation of grain, this king could not help but ask, and asked Li to join the army to report to the general, and Lu Fan was willing to donate another 5,000 stones. ”

"Oh, the king is benevolent, but please ask the king to send a messenger to tell the general about this matter, just wait for the general to arrive at the inn in Yanzhou City!"

Li Xin's words made Zhu Yipai dumbfounded, I have given 10,000 stone of grain, you come back!

"Big brother, is that Li joining the army gone?"

Seeing that the sixth brother Zhu Yihai was coming, Zhu Yipai immediately cried.

"Sixth brother, it's good that you're here! You say, what do you say about this now...... 5,000 stones, he is not satisfied, I donated another 5,000 stones, which adds up to 10,000 stones, he still wants to come to us, is it possible, does he really want to force us to death? ”

As he spoke, Zhu Yipai sat on the ground with tears on his face.

In fact, in the Ming Dynasty's clan, Lu Fan's reputation has always been good, and he usually does not oppress the people much, and he has also encroached on people's land, and of course he has also received contributions, but there are not so many. In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the Qing soldiers entered the fortress to break through the Yanzhou Mansion, and when the city was broken, Zhu Yipai hanged himself, and his eldest son and younger brother Zhu Yilu and Zhu Yijiang were martyred together. Two years later, his younger brother Zhu Yihai took the throne, although there was a mess of the Tang-Lu dispute later, but Zhu Yihai was also iron-clad, and would rather die than surrender, in fact, many feudal clans in the late Ming Dynasty had many personal virtues, but it was still reasonable in the general righteousness of the nation.

"This, this, this...... What's going on? ”

Zhu Yixun, who came to hear the news, looked at the eldest brother in surprise.

"Kill us? Isn't the son of De Shizi just coming to visit us? ”

"Worship what?"

Zhu Yipai wiped his tears and said,

"He said that he was a visit, but when he saw that there were people who didn't kill people, the lords of Nanjing almost let him kill them cleanly, and the officials of the six departments also killed dozens of them, that kid was ruthless!"

"Yes, yes, everyone outside says that kid has a temperament like Tai, Taizu!"

"It's all because of our hard lives, how can Fengguo and Defan be in Shandong, and there is such a person in Defan...... You say what will happen if he comes? What if he finds an excuse to kill me? When the time comes, I really don't know how to die......"

Of course Zhu Yipai was afraid!

Can he not be afraid? When encountering a master like "Zhu Ciying" who does not pay attention to the rules, does not play cards according to reason, and kills people at every turn, everyone is afraid of it!

The rules of the world have almost ruined him.

"He, he still dares to copy our Lu Wangfu!"

As soon as Zhu Yijiang's words fell, Zhu Yihai sighed.

"He dares to kill the Shangshu and Shilang of the Six Divisions, what else does he not dare?"

In fact, the gentry in Shandong were willing to donate grain because they heard that the prince of De had copied the Wei family in Laizhou, and even those eunuch families were so frightened that they didn't dare to say a word, and obediently took the grain out. In fact, as long as you check carefully, no one is clean, and you don't need to plant dirty to get their handle, and Lu Wangfu is the same unclean.

"Big brother, actually, I think the so-called visit is just rhetoric, and the younger brother estimates that he should be waiting for us to donate tens of thousands of stone food! That may be what he intended. ”

Zhu Yihai really guessed correctly, Zhu Guoqiang was indeed waiting for them to donate generously, and the same was true of the initiative, but they were all iron roosters who didn't pull out a dime, so it was strange if they didn't visit them!

You can't visit them all!

If you kill a person and don't know the current affairs, then visit the Kong family and King Lu again.

But Zhu Guoqiang had time to visit in person.

"Wait, you said donate...... How much to donate? ”

Zhu Yipai hurriedly asked,

"The younger brother heard that the Ding family in Zhucheng donated 1,000 stone of grain, and the Ding family's family business was only 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver.

"What, two percent, two percent family business, let, we have so much food to donate?"

Zhu Yipai said with a sad face.

"Our Zonglu has been in arrears for almost 30 years! It's been 12 years to finally send it once, and it's still a treasure banknote, no one wants that thing to wipe your stomach, and our Lu Fan will point to the rent collected from that little Zhuangtian to raise, and now he Zhu Ciying wants tens of thousands of stone grain with a mouth, are we going to starve to death? …… The lives of the people are at stake, so our clan will not die! ”

Zhu Yipai couldn't help but complain, the imperial court pit clan is not a year or two, just like the money customs in various places to collect taxes, and take turns to return to the household department or the inner treasury every other year, as long as it is the year when it is returned to the inner treasury, it will definitely collect treasure money, why, the royal family wants to use treasure money to give a reward to the clan, that thing is a fart!

As for Zonglu, the eternal amount was set during the Wanli period, and since then, Zonglu has not risen with a stone, not to mention, and directly gave a five-percent discount, and a five-percent discount is just that, you send it down. But the local government can always find excuses to be in arrears, what kind of drought, what kind of water, what people are in arrears, and the people are in arrears of the court's fields, then the court will have to owe the clan's Zonglu.

Fortunately, there are still some farmlands, otherwise they would not have starved to death.

But now I never thought that when I met such a more shameless person, I hit them directly on the head.

Opening his mouth is tens of thousands of stone grain, uh, he didn't say much, this is the most annoying.

"The people's land is dry and there is no food to eat, but Lu Fan's land has water, donate grain and donate grain, why didn't he come to rob it!"

Zhu Yipai couldn't help but complain loudly.

"Big brother, he, isn't he coming?"

In an instant, Zhu Yipai became dumb, and he gritted his teeth and said after a while.

"Donate, donate, tell him that Lu Fan will donate 35,000 stone of grain to help the people! I have so many loyal ministers and righteous people in the Ming Dynasty, I want to see how he lets others donate! ”

How to donate?

Naturally, they started the performance collectively, some put on a show of righteousness and squandered money to donate food, and some simply shouted that they would donate food to help the poor. They all wanted to kneel there and beg themselves to take the grain.

"These people are really my rare loyal ministers!"

Zhu Guoqiang said with a touched face,

"In the past, I just heard that the squire was benevolent and righteous, and in this year of catastrophe, they can have such a benevolent and righteous act of righteousness and squandering wealth, which is really worthy of being a sage of my Ming Dynasty!"

At this time, Zhu Guoqiang's heart was happy, great, the Ming Dynasty actually had so many loyal ministers and righteous people, and they were all so willing to fight for righteousness and squander money.

It's not easy to unearth so many "loyal and righteous people"!

Who said that at the end of the year, those squires were all inextricably plucked, but on their own side, they were all scrambling to donate food, and one donation was millions of stone grain!

That's grain worth tens of millions of taels of silver. They just pulled it out generously.

Who says they have no people in their hearts, who says they have nothing to pluck out a dime? Who said that they don't have a great understanding in their hearts.

It is clear that Emperor Chongzhen will not excavate and will not mobilize everyone's enthusiasm!

When you see yourself here, they are all crying and shouting to donate food, and some people even want to kowtow in order to donate food quickly, where can you find this enthusiasm?
