Food is everything.

In this regard, Zhu Dawei really understands it too well.

I have not been a nobleman for many years.

Zhu Dawei was conquered by Li Zicheng, a rogue who went north in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, and his father, queen and mother were all unfortunate, and his brothers and sisters were nowhere to be found. He escaped alone, took a few jade pendants that had been prepared, and pretended to be a poor man and rushed all the way to the imperial capital, hoping that the imperial capital court would have someone to take in.

Who wants to be chaotic people along the way, thieves swarmed, and wanted to go north to Beijing, but a few servants and maids around him, even including the one he liked the most, with white skin, put on the bed like white jade, making him crazy, was also plundered by thieves, and the family was either scattered, or ran away with money, all of them were gone.

After arriving in the imperial capital, he ran into walls everywhere, and the officials in the imperial capital did not hum at a person whose identity was unknown, who refused to pay and claimed to be the son of the world, he could only live alone on the streets, the money in his hand had been spent, his clothes were dirty, there was no water to drink, and there was nothing to eat.

At night, he hid on the side of the street, endured the thick feces and garbage on the land, and gradually fell asleep.

But at night, I suddenly felt wrong, and I slowly woke up, and it was actually a beggar with a foul smell and yellow teeth, picking up his clothes! The mouth is still muttering, with fine skin and tender meat.

Zhu Dawei swore to resist, how could he have always been pampered, his body was already ruined, and he was tragically poisoned by the beggar, and after the beggar left with a satisfied face, he ran away several times with the same stench and knotted hair.

The next day, when Zhu Dawei was surrounded again, he resisted frantically, and it turned out that he had already grabbed the last rich thing on his body brought out of the palace in his hand, the wooden hairpin with his hair, and directly inserted it into the eyes of the beggar at the head.

After that, he was like a madman, repelling a few beggars who wanted to take advantage of him when he looked at his fine skin and tender meat, and fought on it, but became famous, the beggars in the imperial capital were originally divided into pieces, with masters, and even the major families raised a group of people as mad dogs to bite people, but at that time, people were panicked, and there were homeless people who entered the city everywhere, so naturally no one cared about him.

After this incident, Zhu Dawei's blood from the ancestors of the hero and battle is awakened, even after taking a few lives, those beggars are also strange, so they will be enshrined as a small leader, this kind of troubled times, people's thoughts of following the strong are greater, a person who looks ordinary in appearance, but kills people unambiguously, in this case, can grab a lot of benefits.

After this incident, Zhu Dawei also changed, and began to connect people and horses, instead of waiting for the hopeless so-called government reply every day, within a few days, Li Zicheng's men and horses killed behind him to the imperial capital, and at first he pretended to say that he wanted peace talks, but where did Chongzhen have money?

In the end, the gentry and eunuchs in the city also changed their faces, and the army had no heart to fight, Zhu Dawei guessed the beginning and the result, and took this opportunity to see that the small official of the imperial capital who had originally eaten the benefits of his family and went to ask for help, held a torch, took advantage of the chaos in the hearts of the people, and rushed into his mansion.

After Zhu Dawei rushed in, he first found the official who didn't know what was going on, held him down, stabbed him to death, and scolded: "I told you not to recognize Lao Tzu, I told you not to recognize Lao Tzu, I told you not to recognize Lao Tzu." ”

He also rushed into the backyard of the official's house, grabbed the screaming young lady, pressed her rudely on the bed, lifted her long skirt directly, and scolded: "I told you not to recognize Lao Tzu, I told you not to recognize Lao Tzu." "At the same time, I want to vent it.

When the shouting and pain gradually became smaller, Zhu Dawei let go of the young lady who was already staring at her, and walked out of the courtyard with his head up.

Zhu Dawei knew that the army entered the city, as long as he was not a novice, he knew at least a little bit of raid and looting, so he accepted it when he saw it, and quickly hid with a few of his subordinates.

After that, Li Zicheng punished the guy who took the opportunity to make trouble, whether it was for his own face or the security in the city, and then entered the palace, a series of drastic changes, but Zhu Dawei avoided it all, and his heart naturally refused to be a beggar's head.

Then there was another change, the occupation of the imperial capital by the elders was silent, it was an almost overnight change, but it was not unaware, Zhu Dawei later found that there were constantly people investigating and asking about the number of beggars in the imperial capital, distribution, who was in the same group with whom, although this situation was not obvious, but there were often men with ruddy complexions and tall figures, and there was something wrong with anyone who thought about it.

In the end, Zhu Dawei made up his mind, left the place of right and wrong, changed into clean clothes, and took a few selected subordinates who were obedient and daring to fight, and turned into a merchant family.

Sure enough, those strange people occupied the emperor for many days, and began to clean up many forces in the city, first of all, those small gangs who usually make big mistakes and make small mistakes, in fact, where are there any strict gangs, it is a group of people who do all kinds of side business, and even the four tyrants of the imperial capital, dung tyrants, water tyrants, etc., are all in the list of cleaning, and these people can go down in the imperial capital, not by how well they hide, nor by how well they can fight, but by the upper route, once the upper level is completely ended, Naturally, the leaves were swept away by the autumn wind.

Next came the petty officials, especially the rich and scumbag treasury officials, who were raided one by one at night, quietly, and the more and more skilled troops were already familiar with it.

After everything is peaceful, those beggars are naturally among the targets, beggars in this era, to say pitiful, but the vast majority of them are also many real lazy people, as well as real wicked people, that is, they shoot flowers, abduct and sell other people's children, deliberately make all kinds of disabilities, to attract sympathy, and beat them up every day if they can't make money.

Or if you look at a store, rush in directly, ask for money and food, and make trouble if you don't give it, you dare to call the official errand, and call the official errand to spend money once, but it is more than their money.

It can be said that the beggars who formed this system have long become a tumor in the imperial capital, and if they are not carefully removed, it will not be good to eat themselves.

didn't make people sad, Zhu Dawei also suddenly found that the number of beggars in the city was slowly decreasing, not one by one, but suddenly overnight, the beggars in a certain settlement disappeared.

Naturally, some people rumored that they were accepted by the heavenly immortals, but when Zhu Dawei saw this, he naturally understood that the people who had occasionally noticed before and often secretly inquired about them were like.

wanted to run out of the city, but Zhu Dawei really didn't know where to go, but fortunately, when he went to take advantage of the chaos and robbery, he got a little treasure, so he simply took advantage of the chaos to buy a house facing the street, thinking about starting a pawnshop business.

He still has some advantages in the pawnshop business, at least in his previous career, he still has some understanding of all kinds of valuable objects, there are a lot of upstarts in the city, these upstarts are generous, they don't care about money, he has undergone great changes, he will not be a man after a big change, and there is no shortage of flattery and flattery, but he has also begun to make a sound.

Especially later, the area of the pawnshop is not small, after being forcibly acquired by the presbyterian church, he got a house in the new city, and some moving expenses, which greatly boosted morale, and many families wanted to move, but it was not a trivial matter, at first they were all civilians who moved away to live in the spacious and bright new home, and then a little bit was those big households, and those big families also sold a lot of things, and he should also make a fortune.

The upstarts in the city, such as Li Zicheng's characters and Wu Sangui's characters, still receive a lot of preferential treatment, and naturally they also like to spend money.

It can be said that for a character who should have disappeared into the annals of history, Zhu Dawei should be satisfied, in such a trend, he can be a white man, wear a silk robe, and go to the restaurant to eat the chef who originally came out of the palace to cook, this is the ultimate imitation of food, even if it is Zhu Dawei himself, he is willing to put this score, well, for the elders, although the skills of these chefs are good, they still use their own people, or they are more at ease.

He ordered a few fresh seafood, all of which were newly shipped this morning, and as soon as he sat down to make a tooth sacrifice, he heard someone nearby talking: "Have you heard, the little prince in the palace is about to start his wedding, and he is still the daughter of a marquis in the city." ”

"It's also a good thing, I don't know if this big wedding will give amnesty to the world, and everyone will have a pig to eat."

"You know how to eat, do you know that this big wedding ceremony is not a gift for the prince, what is the name of the prince, it is the road of the official marquis's family to marry the daughter, which is clearly degraded to the common people."

The man looked mysterious, with a little fanaticism, and said: "Actually, it is good for the people, don't watch the movies of the elders, who knows, how the Ming Dynasty died, not to mention those scholars who can only make a little girl, gossip, and can't do anything when they meet things, this Ming Dynasty clan, there are actually as many as one million, and one million people eat and drink for nothing, can they not be eaten up." ”

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's system, the royal family was kept in captivity and became prisoners who couldn't do anything, and they couldn't do anything except eat, drink, and play with women, so this system decided that the royal family launched a fierce reproductive competition, well.

In fact, Lao Zhu didn't think so, at least the frontier towns divided by his sons had a bit of an atmosphere of foreign warfare, but after his death, the reduction of the feudal domain was successful, and the princes who lost their military power became like this, but Zhu Yuanzhang originally designed to ensure the happy life of his children and grandchildren.

The treatment of children and grandchildren is not favorable, and the prince is enshrined as a prince and has a salary of ten thousand stones, seven times that of the highest officials, not including a large amount of land and other rewards, and stipulates that the royal family does not have to engage in any occupation, and begins to receive wages at the age of 10, and when they get married, the state gives them houses, crowns, and clothes, in short, happiness.

However, this happiness is based on the unhappiness of the common people, with the collapse of the imperial finances, in fact, it has long collapsed, and the Ming clan at the bottom level has long been unable to live, and there are not a few people who secretly go to work, but as far as this system is concerned, part of the reason for the fall of the Ming Dynasty is counted in the clan too much, and it really can't be said that it is wrong.

The Council of Elders has been poisoning their own private goods in various ways, dealing with those scholars is only the first step, the elders Weifu private interview first used a few familiar jokes, such as the story of Huang Shiren and Xi'er to hit the Donglin Party, and then used a few scenic spots, anyway, they are all things that splash dirty water, but now, it just has begun to fire on the former dynasty clan, which is also the way for the elders to slowly dig up the wall of the imperial power system, and it is no longer the emperor who will control everything in the future, or those land nobles who are attached to the emperor, It's the real money aristocracy, which is a huge difference.

Of course, the common people can't understand that this kind of change rooted in social change, they only know that the original emperor has changed for 13 generations, but it is just 13 generations, and the old Zhu family actually gave birth to a million people, this is a really capable character, but it is also a forced collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

This kind of dirty water is a bit unfair, but it is also good for social progress, at least some people will wonder if this is a problem of the system, and it will be very beneficial to their work below.

Zhu Dawei's face was dark, these untouchables are getting bolder and bigger, and they dare to talk about it in broad daylight, ah, talk about the affairs of the previous dynasty.

Zhu Dawei completely knows that now it is a change of dynasty, although the identity of the crown prince is not imprisoned or killed, but in the palace, what is the difference between being imprisoned and imprisoned, he guessed that it was used to pacify and clamp down on the south, but this method was indeed too effective.

"Isn't it, I didn't know before, this old Zhu family is really good enough to eat, and there are a few big families in the south of the Yangtze River, no worse than a few locust merchants in Shanxi."

"Yes, they are not good birds, so they have to rely on the elders to clean them up one by one, not to mention anything else, those people in Jiangnan said that they wanted to fight one by one, but in private, they didn't honestly come to the imperial capital to lose their sincerity? are all people who have eaten the old Zhu family's hundreds of years of money, and when it comes to the real thing, they will ****** wither. ”

"Drinking and drinking, although the government will not take care of this kind of thing, why should we be angry, it is also a good thing for the little prince to get married, at least it shows that the elders are not the masters who kill innocents indiscriminately, by the way, I heard that the train is about to be repaired to Shandong, in this case, the counties of Shandong might as well go to run, if the mountain goods there are transported to Mongolia, it is a big price, and there is also Shandong, it is also a good business to sell sheepskins."

Zhu Dawei looked at those gossips coldly, sighed secretly, and did not make a sound.
