Chapter 1253 Rent-free, exempt-for-free, exempt-duty, scientific expedition to welcome the Ming Dynasty

"Your Majesty, the Sichuan people have been bitter and thieves and have been looking east to the king for twenty years, and they finally look forward to the king master, there should always be some benefits, right? If there is nothing to gain, how can the Sichuan people eat pot pulp to welcome the king? ”

Speaking for the working people of Sichuan is the old man Ma Shiying, who is also old now, 76 years old, has not yet retired, and continues to serve the court and the people.

Before he entered the cabinet as a scholar, he served as the governor of Yunnan-Guichuan twice, responsible for suppressing and blocking the Liukou from the southern road. The task of attacking and suppressing was not completed, but it still blocked the rogues - in fact, the rogues had already become sitting, and it was naturally easy to block. However, Ma Shiying is also considered meritorious, and now he has been crowned the Duke of your country, which is also a great honor. Such feudal aristocrats and feudal bureaucrats, of course, would not really sympathize with the working people of Sichuan, and now they proposed to give the Sichuan people a little sweetness, which is nothing more than to provoke the feelings between the Sichuan working people in the lower strata of the Dashun State and the Shaanxi soldiers in the middle and upper strata.

Wu Sanfu, who didn't know how many times he had served as the secretary of the Ministry of War, snorted: "When the Liukou invaded Sichuan, these Sichuan people were very happy, singing the ballad of "Welcoming the Thieves", and welcomed this group of rebels into Sichuan...... Do you still want to benefit from the imperial court? ”

Wu Sanfu told the truth, the people of Sichuan were very troubled when they saw Zhang Xianzhong, who was killing people indiscriminately, but they still welcomed the disciplined Dashun Heavenly Soldiers. Especially in the first ten years of the Great Shunzhi River, because the second generation of Fubing did not grow up, and the demand for land did not arise, most of the Sichuan people still retained the land they obtained when they first Juntian. At that time, everyone was really happy, and only a small number of intellectuals of the original landlord class who dreamed of getting ahead were not happy - because Dashun was based on government soldiers, and without this identity, he could only work honestly and honestly, without a chance to rise.

But those who refuse to be farmers and craftsmen and dream of climbing up are very few after all. Therefore, for more than ten years, the Dashun Dynasty was still very popular in Sichuan.

Ma Shiying glanced at Wu Sanfu, who was so fat that he was about to become a ball, and said with a smile: "The Sichuan people are too happy too early, since the beginning of the Shaanxi War, their life has been worse year by year, and the more bleak it is. And he was pressed to the death by a group of Shaanxi soldiers, no matter how good you are, you can't get ahead! ”

Wu Sanfu shook his head and said with a smile: "It's difficult for us ordinary people here to get ahead...... It's not easy to study and get into college, it's not easy to make money by doing business, it's not easy to be a soldier and make meritorious service in wars, and you lose money even planting land! Even when they go to sea to hunt mink and pan for gold in the Americas and California, few of them can really develop. ”

He said this because he was moved, their old Wu family and the children and nephews of the old ancestor's family were all unable to study and get into college, so they could only barely enter the martial arts hall. As soon as you do business, you can only guard more than a dozen streets in Shanghai, Tianjin, and Tianhe to collect rent. There were many farms in Liaodong's hometown, and in the end, all of them were dismal and maintained. However, they are not so miserable that they want to go to the Americas to dig for gold, the children of the Wu family and the ancestral family are stupid and stupid, and they can always mix with a cavalry officer who charges into battle when they take the road of army primary school, army middle school, and army martial arts hall......

Zhu Cihong glanced at the "Wu Fat Man" and knew that this fat man would lose everything, and there was a group of gentlemen at home who could only ride horses, shoot and play ball (polo), and they had a headache!

However, Emperor Zhu couldn't help, what he promoted was originally "capitalism that lost money", because of the lack of far-sighted plans, so losses are everywhere, and behind a glamorous and successful person, there are several losers who can't find it...... Moreover, Emperor Zhu did not provide any minimum guarantee at all, so the losers who could not get along with the Ming Dynasty often had only one way out, which was to go to the United States of New Zealand or to the Kingdom of Luzon, the Twelve Duchyes of Malacca, and Temasek Free City as indentured laborers.

It's to do coolies to pay for the boat, it's almost the last fight, although there are also those who turn over, but they also lose everything and even their lives.

But then again, if there is no "lost capitalism" that continues to create unwilling losers, who would want to risk their lives to go to the New World and the South Seas?

After the exam, and later inexplicably became the "lucky one" of the great military strategist, Shi Kefa, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, shook his head, obviously disapproving of Wu Sanfu Wu Fatzi's words.

"It's not easy to get ahead anywhere, but we rely on our own ability and luck here, and the Liukou is not allowed to let ordinary people come out, and the way up is all Shaanxi soldiers." Shi Kefa smiled, "Everyone who fights hard by ability and luck can't get ahead and can't complain about others...... If you don't let people come out, then it's different! If you don't give it a fight, who knows you can't do it? Others say you can't do it, can you be willing? ”

When Wu Sanfu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, and then glanced at his brother-in-law, Emperor Zhu.

Emperor Zhu has long said that the people of the old Wu family can't do business - carelessness doesn't say anything, and they also talk about righteousness enough to be friends and have a head of feudal thinking...... But who listens! Except for Wu Sanmei who was managed by Zhu Cihong, who in the Wu family has not lost their blood?

Zhu Cihong spoke with a smile at this time, "We have to give the Sichuan people a little fruit, and we don't expect them to welcome the king, as long as they don't help the Liukou...... Let's talk about the benefits of the change. ”

Ma Shiying said: "Nowadays, Sichuan people have five major hardships, heavy rent, heavy conscription, many household transfers, fierce soldiers, and no hope.

When the Liukou entered Sichuan, they engaged in the land for a while, confiscated the land of the landlords, and gave most of it to the peasant households, and the small half to the government soldiers, and then the peasant households rented it. At that time, the rent that pressed on the Sichuan people, whether it was handed over to the Liukou puppet dynasty or to the government soldiers, was not heavy, but since the Shaanxi War seven years ago, the rent carried by the Sichuan people has become heavier and heavier!

First of all, in order to raise merit and settle the children of the soldiers, the Liukou puppet dynasty continued to use the method of re-equalizing the land of the Sichuan people. Later, in order to make up for the loss of the rent of the public land after the reduction of the land, the Liukou puppet dynasty continued to increase the rent, and the government soldiers also continued to raise the rent because of the heavy military service and huge expenses. This year, the Liukou puppet dynasty also carried out a "two rent law", a piece of land has to pay two rents, one for the puppet dynasty, and one for the government soldiers! ”

Ma Shiying paused, and said: "Because of the southward and northward advance of the Liukou puppet dynasty and the development of Yunnan and Burma, the forced labor sent by the Liukou puppet dynasty is also getting heavier and heavier...... In addition to farming, Sichuan farmers are constantly transporting and transporting, and they are not idle at all. Moreover, the household survey, that is, the expropriation of cloth or something, has now added a lot, and it has also been decoupled from the land, and has been linked to the household registration, even if it rents the land of the military households, you have to pay the full amount of household cloth!

As for the fierceness of the government soldiers, there is no need to say it...... On the one hand, the Shaanxi people oppressed the Sichuan people, and on the other hand, the military households oppressed the people, and there was no incense at all. And what makes the Sichuan people feel most depressed is that there is no hope. In the early years, the Sichuan people still had the opportunity to enter the government, but now the children of the government soldiers have grown up, and many of the veterans have not retired, and their families can't arrange it, where is the Sichuan people's share? And they were pressed by the government soldiers, and they didn't have a chance to try their best, so they didn't know if they could do it. But no one will feel that they can't do it, they will feel that they can't get out because of the pressure on the government soldiers, coupled with the heavy rent, the heavy conscription, the many household transfers, and the fierce soldiers, over time, the resentment of the Sichuan people against the Shaanxi soldiers is deep, if the court can go to set a fire, hehe, it is simply a fire, maybe it is a rebellion! ”

Ma Shiying pondered: "The old minister's idea is that the imperial court has to deal with the disadvantages of the rogue puppet dynasty, and declare free rent, free of mediocrity, free from military service, and scientific research...... Welcome to Daming! ”

"Good!" Zhu Cihong slapped the table and laughed, "The horse punishment department is the humerus of me, free of rent, free of mediocrity, free of military service, and scientific research to welcome the Ming Dynasty...... It's really wonderful, you don't have to take out the land of Sichuan to divide it, you can also incite the Sichuan people, it seems that the unification of the world is only a matter of ten years. ”
