Chapter 205: A Break on the Stretcher

The method of paving the road and then watering it into ice is, in theory, used to transport most building materials, especially things like the Dan Majesty Stone.

Ichishu Zongjun wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "I have never felt so fulfilled as now, and now I have said goodbye to my past me." ”

Although he didn't understand what Yixiu Zongchun was saying, Yang San still smiled and said, "Work hard, there are still Dan Majesty Stones to be transported later, and when these are completed, it is estimated that it will be Xiao Nian, and I will take you for a walk in Shuntian Mansion at that time." ”

Ichishu Zongjun was stunned, pointed at himself with his backhand, and asked, "Me?" Can you walk around Suncheonfu? ”

Yang San nodded seriously and said, "That's right." You've been working hard all this time, I can see it. I'll go to the people above and apply for a few days off for you. ”

As soon as Okyu Zongchun became excited.

After working as a laborer on the construction site for almost a month, Yixiu Zongchun knew very well in his heart that these foremen who controlled the "labor" on the construction site could apply for leave for the outstanding workers under him, and they could apply for one to two days of leave every month.

It's just that people are close to each other, and these foremen are no exception, and most of the holidays are allocated to those prisoners who come to serve in labor in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.

As for those ordinary Ming people, no one can apply for holidays for them - as long as they don't care about their wages and take a break whenever they want, no one cares at all.

Seeing that this good thing has now fallen on his head, Ikkyu Zongchun's heart has both the excitement of being appreciated and the excitement brought by the upcoming vacation.

It's just that after thinking about it, Yixiu Zongchun's heart was full of a sense of loss.

"Labor" is not the same as labor.

The prisoner laborers of the Ming Dynasty have wages to get, even if they are much less than the wages that ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty can get, but they are also paid.

And these "laborers" like themselves have no penny to pay, and their food and housing are much worse than those prisoner laborers of the Ming Dynasty.

Yixiu Zongchun sometimes hates these prisoners and laborers, hates them for not being angry, hates them for smearing Daming, and even more can't wait to change his identity with them, he must honestly abide by Daming's laws!

Seeing that Yixiu Zongchun's expression was a little gloomy, Yang San asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

Yixiu Zongchun clasped his hands together, recited the Buddha's name, and said: "When I came out of the Wa Kingdom, I didn't bring any money with me, and now that I have a holiday, I actually have nowhere to go." ”

Yang San laughed a few times, took out a string of copper plates with ropes from his sleeve, and slapped it into Yixiu Zongchun's hand: "I still think you're homesick, and I want to go back to the country to take a look." If you're homesick, two days of vacation aren't enough.

However, if it's a matter of money, you don't have to worry, I specially applied to the above for the consistent copper coin, which is a reward for you, as long as you don't spend a lot of money, this hanging money is enough for you to make it for a long time. ”

Yang San didn't fool Yixiu Zongchun - according to the current price, this thousand yuan can probably buy 400 catties of rice, or 8 catties of fine pork, or 50 catties of pigs, or more than 20 live fat chickens.

Yixiu Zongchun looked at the copper coin in his hand, and suddenly felt a little reluctant.

This is in exchange for sweat, I don't know how much sweat is stained on a copper plate, if it is spent like this, it will be too much of a loser?

Yang San naturally didn't know what Yixiu Zongchun was thinking in his heart, so he just patted Yixiu Zongchun's shoulder and said, "Let's go, there is still a lot of work to be done in the future, even if you want to go out for a walk, you will have to take a few days off." ”

A few days passed quickly, and Yang San took leave of absence and left the construction site with Yixiu Zongchun and a few other "well-behaved laborers".

Changed into a casual dress given by Yang San, and with the 1,000 literary money given by Yang San, Yixiu Zongchun was able to stand outside the construction site for the first time, looking at the construction site in front of him.

Unlike the small and widowed Wa Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty is really too big, and the unfinished imperial city in front of it alone is already about to catch up with the entire Kyoto of the Wa Kingdom - in the overall capital planning, the area occupied by the imperial city is not large, not even one-tenth or two.

Standing beside Yixiu Zongchun, Yang San couldn't help but smile and said, "The imperial city in front of you will probably be completed in a year and a half to two years, and the rest is the part that needs to be built outside." In fact, it will take more than ten years for the entire capital city to be fully completed. ”

Yixiu Zongchun was speechless.

Yixiu Zongchun, who had found a lot of books for Yang San to read for himself, couldn't imagine at all, or he was born in the Wa Kingdom, and he couldn't imagine what the war of hundreds of thousands of people written in the book should be? How far should those distances that are thousands of miles away at every turn? What is the concept of thousands of thousands?

But these are real.

Yixiu Zongchun remembered very well that he had tentatively asked Yang San a question during the chat, and this question was also related to what he should do if he could return to the Wa Kingdom.

If hundreds, or even thousands, rebelled, at what cost would it cost the government to put it down?

Yixiu Zongchun still remembers Yang San's confused expression at that time, as well as the doubts in his tone: "Any two Zhuangzi can pull out a hundred and ten people to fight, and thousands of people say rebellion?" Can that also be called a rebellion?

Of course, if you have to say that this is a rebellion, and if these thousands of people are all young and strong, and if you slightly coax some civilians into it, the number can easily expand to tens of thousands.

However, no matter how many ordinary and untrained young men and civilians there are, they cannot pose a threat to the guards, and at best they can only be regarded as a group of military feats that can move around. ”

Then Ikkyu Sojun has been wondering, if he organizes thousands of samurai to rebel, how will the shogunate respond? Could he be the walking military merit in Yang San's mouth?

Yang San saw that Yixiu Zongchun suddenly fell silent, and then asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" But are you homesick again? ”

Yixiu Zongchun nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know what year I will be able to return to the Wa Kingdom." And ......"

Seeing that Yixiu Zongchun was a little hesitant, Yang San walked towards the market with Yixiu Zongchun and encouraged with a smile: "And what? Is there anything else in the country that can't be parted with? ”

Ikkyu Zongjun shook his head and sighed, "Since my mother died, I have no relatives in the Wa Kingdom.

Does Brother Yang know that the imperial court of the Japanese Kingdom is deaf and incompetent, and the shogunate is tyrannical, and he does not care about the life or death of the people of the Japanese Kingdom, and the people are still unaware of it.

If Brother Yang doesn't know, then let me tell you that the people of the Wa Kingdom may never have eaten even a full meal in the true sense.

Even so, they had to pay taxes to the imperial court of the Wa Kingdom, and they had to have the men of the family follow the daimyo guardians to fight. You say, is there any hope for such a Wa country? ”

"I don't know", Yang San shook his head and said, "I'm just a foreman of Shuntianfu, in this case, where should I worry about it?" It's you, you just work hard, what do you want to do with these things? Whether the Wa Kingdom is good or bad, what does it have to do with you? ”

Yixiu Zongchun was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "I have always been a Japanese national, and I can't watch the Japanese country go on the wrong path like this.

I think the best solution is probably for someone to stand up, overthrow the court of the Wa Kingdom, and bring the people of the Wa State to request annexation, and completely become a part of the Ming Dynasty. That's probably the best way out.

If not, then let the people of the Japanese kingdom come to the construction site to work as laborers, at least so that they can eat enough, dress warmly, and sleep well. ”

Yang San shook his head and said, "Attached?" The thousands of people of the Ming Dynasty are enough to give people a headache, and you still want the Japanese to be attached to the country? I don't think the court princes are necessarily willing.

As for what you said about letting the people do the laborers, it's not impossible. It's just that have you thought about it, after the construction site of Shuntianfu is completed, where should these people go? Will you return to the Wa Kingdom and continue to live the same life as before?

Sima Junshi once said in "Training and Thrift" that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

When they get used to the life of the Ming Dynasty, will they still be able to return to the Wa Kingdom? Even if it were you, would you still be willing to go back to the Wa Kingdom to become an ascetic? ”

"I don't want to."

Yixiu Zongchun shook his head and said honestly: "Even if I want to, I can't go back to the life I used to have." ”

Seeing Yang San's puzzled expression, Yixiu Zongchun explained: "The Zen mind is in chaos.

If it weren't for Brother Yang and you to say it yourself, who would be able to believe that you, who can say the famous words in "Xun Jian Shekang", are actually just an ordinary dealer? Who would have thought that the people of the Ming Dynasty on these construction sites would still be literate and read?

Now, as long as I close my eyes, I will think that I am well fed and clothed here, while the people of the Japanese country are still suffering in the wind and snow, and maybe one day they will freeze to death and starve to death, let alone read and write. ”

Yang San patted Yixiu Zongchun's shoulder, sighed and said, "Do your job well, behave well, and strive to leave the construction site as soon as possible, maybe you will return to the Wa Kingdom one day." ”

Seeing that Yixiu Zongchun was about to salute and thank him, Yang San hurriedly turned sideways and said, "Don't thank me, that's all I can help you, and I can't help you with the rest." ”

After finishing speaking, Yang San went on to say to several other "well-behaved laborers": "Take the wooden card I gave you, that is your identification." Without this, even if you are beaten to death, there will be no one to do justice for you.

Also, if you accidentally get separated from me for a while, go back to the construction site by yourself, and you don't have to think about escaping, and you can't even get out of the gate of Shuntianfu without a guide. ”
