Chapter 149 Catch the ducks on the shelves
Feudal society, no matter which dynasty it is, has a strict hierarchy, that is, the four major classes of scholars, farmers, and businessmen, which have existed for thousands of years.
Among the four classes, the taxi at the top is particularly important.
What is a taxi? It has been said in the Spring and Autumn Period: The king's ministers are the king's ministers, and the king's ministers are scholars, so the status of the scholars is not good.
However, after the Han Dynasty implemented the system of opening nine products in the middle of the system, the position of the scholar changed again, and it became the general name of the official class.
It was popular for hundreds of years until the end of the Tang Dynasty, when the Great Song Dynasty won the crown.
Scholars have a new person to join, that is, scholars. This is due to the fact that the Song Dynasty has always implemented the imperial examination system.
The government has to use officials to govern the people, where do the officials come from? Of course, it is taken from the huge group of readers.
The former clan of the gate lords has all become a family of cultivators.
Scholars, smart and face-loving, although called "farming and reading family", but they look down on the word "farming" in front, thinking that they are all mud-legged men who are not worthy of being with themselves, so they are stripped out and turned into "farmers"!
Dirt man, honest, not so slippery, like an old ox as long as you give a piece of land, you can work satisfied, and the food grown is generously distributed to you, you see how real.
But in this group of peasants, there are always some restless people, fortunately they have been planting for a year, it is the era of relying on the sky to eat, so they have collected such a bag of grain, and they have to pay you half a bag, their hearts are unbalanced, but they are timid and afraid, so they have to throw the hoe and start a business, do business without playing ghosts, generally can't make a lot of money, and those who can make money are ghosts and elves.
Who doesn't like yellow gold? Therefore, the "scholars" drooled greedily, and they only stared at the half bag of brown rice of the "farmers" day after day, and they couldn't make much money, and these smart taxis began to squeeze the "merchants", but the "merchants" were no worse than them in terms of heart, and began to play excuses and refuse to give it.
The "scholars" who have been recognized by the "farmers" have the right to speak, their waists are very hard, and they are not soft-hearted at all, and the "merchants" have no resistance but to surrender, and when the "scholars" finish cutting the leeks, and then think about the morality of these people, they will be driven to the honest "farmers" with a stick, killing two birds with one stone.
As the emperor of the "divine power", seeing that the following group of people have been cleaned up by the scholars, his heart is unbalanced, he is the boss of the country, how can he be embarrassed.
So he took action to rectify him.
The clever reader said that the emperor was cruel, and the agitated tongue coating replaced the emperor, and the new emperor was not a fool, holding a butcher's knife and continuing to cut off their heads, smart people generally spare their lives, and besides, the head is indeed not as hard as a steel knife, so they surrendered, and the emperor, seeing that they could not kill them inexhaustibly, and said that they had to rely on them to govern the people, there was no way, so he admitted this order.
The pair began to fight openly and secretly and complement each other.
Even if the social status of all classes is established, and it will never be changed, but some people are not convinced. After this slogan was shouted, some people from the four major strata would jump out from time to time to rebel.
For example, in this group of mud legs in Tangjia Village, someone actually shouted slogans like "be the emperor".
For a moment, everyone was stunned on the spot.
"Why, compared to taking the risk of making some movements, just to make him bear the charge of rebellion, my idea is very simple!"
A group of people touched their chins and began to ponder.
Boss Tang continued to explain: "Anyway, he is not a real emperor, he is just planting a crime, if he leaks the secret of Tangjia Village, then we will confess him, if not, everyone will be fine." ”
The group nodded, then looked at the dogs.
The dog said embarrassedly: "Playing at home? ”
"Phew! What kind of family, the lives of more than 500 people! We've figured out why, but how do you save it? ”
That's how the negotiation is, he shows the card, and you have to follow the bottom so that everyone can continue to talk.
So he hesitated and said, "Move the village." ”
Everyone frowned in unison.
"Xiao Langjun, we have thought of this for a long time, but there are more than 500 people in the village, young and old, where do these people settle? You can't live in a thatched hut like a homeless person, right? There are also houses and fields of each family, these are dead things and cannot be moved! ”
Seeing Boss Tang's expression of curiosity, the dog laughed and said, "Mountain people have their own tricks!" ”
"You ......"
"Okay, okay, Xiao Langjun, since you don't want to reveal it, then we won't force you!"
The dog said with surprise on his face: "Uncle Tang, do you mean to let the kid go?" ”
Donald rolled his eyes.
The dog sighed: "Then Uncle Tang, what else do you have to explain to the kid, if there is no problem, the boy has to rush to the yamen to negotiate this matter with the officials." ”
Boss Tang frowned, looked at the dog and then looked at the people around him, and said, "Xiao Langjun, it's not early, why don't you finish eating and then leave?" ”
Dogs: ......
"Uncle Tang, the kid has been missing for two days, have you seen Xiaolang who came with the head catcher today?"
Donald nodded.
"The kid should be my brother and dog leftovers when he listens to that sound, if I don't go back, he has to die in a hurry, and besides, the yamen already knows about it, if I don't go back tonight, then there is really no excuse to cover it up!"
Boss Tang said curiously: "The yamen used so many people to find you, what excuse are you going to use to cover up?" ”
This old man of the ghost elf didn't let him rest assured, he really wouldn't let himself go.
"I said that I went out to play with the donkey, and then met two people who came to rob me of the donkey, and when I woke up, I found that I was in an abandoned house, and I spent a night unconsciously, how about this excuse?"
Donald thought about it carefully, and didn't seem to have any doubts, so he nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
The dog hurriedly said, "Then the kid is leaving?" ”
Donald still shook his head.
The dog asked, "What's the problem?" ”
Donald hesitated and said, "It's just a little uneasy!" ”
Donald on the side said, "Big brother, why don't you send someone to keep an eye on him?" ”
Donald Avenue: "No, let's not say that it will be discovered, what if this kid turns around and sues the government?" ”
Tang Lao Er said: "Isn't he an emperor anymore?" ”
"Empty mouth and white teeth, what if the government doesn't believe it?"
Tang Lao Er smiled and said, "Then let's give him a real one!" ”
Donald frowned and said, "You mean to let him... ”
The crowd nodded.
Then the dog was locked up in the mourning hall, and Tang Xiaoer and Tang Xiaoqi were respectfully guarding beside him.
Listening to the bustle of people coming and going outside, the dog sighed, this old thief really has a lot of eyes, in fact, the dog really has this plan, these people have been kicking and shouting at themselves for two whole days! In my heart, I wish they all lost their heads, but unfortunately this old ghost always falls into the trap, it is so difficult for a mud-legged man in this village to deal with it, and I don't know how "sinister" the officialdom described by my father is.
"Hey, Tang Xiaoer, I'm going to be the emperor, so you'll let me eat millet noodles?"
Tang Xiaoer snorted, hugged his arms and ignored the dog.
"Hey, you guy actually dare to be disrespectful to me, carefully go out to complain to your father!"
Tang Xiaoer: "Heh, phew! ”
This anger, although it is a fake emperor, it is also an emperor, why only give one millet bun!
So he walked out of the door angrily, but was dragged back by Tang Xiaoer by the collar.
The dog swung his fist and beat him hard, and after a set of Taizu fist fights, well, he didn't touch his body at all.
"Okay Xiao Er, let him go!" Tang Xiaoqi in the back was annoyed by the two of them, so he shouted.
Tang Xiaoer loosened his collar, and the dog took the opportunity to kick him hard.
Tang Xiao'er snorted, holding the hilt of the sword and about to beat the dog, one chasing the other to hide and make a fuss, seeing that the dog was caught in Tang Xiaoer's hand again, and he was kicked twice on the buttocks.
Tang Xiaoqi sighed and said, "Xiao Erdon't provoke him, you let him go!" ”
"Seventh brother, this kid is a wild dog, if I let him go, he will tease me again!"
Tang Xiaoqi said, "Boy, what are you going to do?" ”
The dog struggled to break free from his hand, sat aside angrily and said, "It's just a bun, how can that be enough!" ”
Tang Xiaoqi waited, then opened the door and walked out, and walked in with a plate of five white-flour cookcakes.
The dog hurried over, one in one hand and another in his mouth.
The mellow aroma of wheat noodles made the dog drool, and he couldn't care about anything else, with a big mouth, and gobbled it up.
was eating happily, squeaked, the door opened, and Tang Laoqi hurriedly walked in and said, "Don't eat, the auspicious time has come!" ”
The dog whimpered with a cookcake in his mouth and said, "Wait a while, I'll finish eating this cookcake."
Hiccup, choking, quickly turn around to find water.
"Tang Laoqi, what are you still doing there! Call him out! Several people outside called him again.
Tang Laoqi knew the echo in a hurry, so he said to Xiao Er: "You two put him out!" ”
The two of them nodded, and each walked out with a dog on one arm.
The dog kicked in mid-air, "Water, hiccup, hiccup!" Water ......"
It was only half an hour later, and the originally solemn sacrificial temple had completely changed its appearance.
Red silk is tied all over the courtyard, half of the red linen cloth in the middle of the courtyard is separated from the left and right as a carpet, there are more than a dozen big red lanterns hanging at the door of the two corridors, and all the pillars are still tied with big red flowers, and they are beaming.
Looking at the north of the courtyard again, two tables are put together, on which are placed an incense burner, three sacrificial offerings, well, a fist-sized pork, a small plate of mutton slices, and a whole chicken.
On both sides of the carpet, dozens of bamboo chairs, small benches, and wooden ties are neatly placed in rows.
Except for Boss Tang standing on the side of the desk due north, several other old men were standing in the courtyard, and behind them were all the men in Tangjia Village, crowded together, looking at the public case with a serious expression.
Outside the temple gate were those old women and little ladies, looking inside on tiptoe, and secretly saying a few words from time to time.
Tang Xiaoer and the others put the dog behind the desk and stood aside with a sword.
Boss Tang looked at it and asked, "Xiao Langjun, are you ready?" ”
The dog said: "Hiccup~"
The woman at the temple gate laughed loudly, and the dog quickly covered her mouth, but she still couldn't stop hiccups.
Angry, Donald turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Later, Tang Xiaoer replied curtly: "I'm choking on eating cooking cakes!" ”
"Bring me rice wine!" Donald waved his hand and shouted.
A young baby in the courtyard ran over with a pot of rice wine.
Donald pinched the dog's nose with one hand and the wine jug with the other, and poured it into his mouth, pouring all the wine into it.
Let go of the hand pinching the nose, and a group of people look at the dog in unison.
"Hiccup~Happy!"
"Good!" There was a round of applause.
Donald smiled and waved his hand.
Seeing that the group of people was quiet, he nodded to the left and right.
Knock knock.
The three-way drum sounded, and Donald shouted at the top of his voice: "Enthronement ceremony, start!" ”
