Chapter 556: The Trouble of Man is a Good Teacher for Others

Wang Chengen quickly took a map and placed it on the table in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen simply took a Chongzhen Tongbao, and then threw it on the map.

After concocting the same method a few times, Emperor Chongzhen decided where to send the guards to Luzon and Batavia.

This is providence.

Xu Yushan, who left the palace, smiled and said a few words to Wen Tiren and the others, then said goodbye and left, went straight to find Zhang Guichang, the secretary of the household department, and threw the things that Emperor Chongzhen explained to Zhang Guichang to do.

Just as Xu Yushan calculated at the beginning, Zhang Guichang didn't dare to resist the order at all, and he didn't even dare to play any tricks such as yin and yang.

In fact, not only Zhang Guishan, but also the civil and military officials in the entire city of Nanjing did not have the courage to disobey Emperor Chongzhen's will.

Since Zhu Laosi, the cabinet and the six departments who have the right to refute the holy decree are now trained by Emperor Chongzhen to be as well-behaved as a cat, and they never mention anything that His Majesty's will is not in line with, and the ministers dare not give edicts and other nonsense.

In short, the will of Emperor Chongzhen is the most important thing in the world, there are difficulties to do, there are no difficulties to create difficulties, and it must be done beautifully.

Just like Xu Yushan ordered someone to bring a message to a few large landowners with thousands of hectares of fertile land in Zhejiang, if you want land or life, you can choose it by yourself.

It's not that no one has thought of resisting, and it's not that no one has thought of rebelling.

Just as the Western barbarians say that there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people, the big and small wealthy merchants and landlords in the several areas named by Emperor Chongzhen in the whole of Jiangnan have all kinds of ideas.

But it's useless, thinking about it, and taking action is actually action.

Anyone dares to think about it.

Action, Zhu Jiu clan to understand? Say that the Nine Clans will not let go of a panting person to understand?

Therefore, although the entire land south of the Yangtze River is already full of mourning, such as the large and small middle-class families and families of mourning and examining, no one really dares to raise the flag to rebel.

After all, compared to the risk of the entire family losing their heads, the loss of honestly going to Luzon is smaller.

And it can't be calculated purely by the size of the loss.

For those who have little money in the family, going to sea this time is not a loss or a profit, and for the powerful and rich guys in the family, it is a loss of blood, but for those poor people whose families can't save a few taels of silver in a year, it is purely a net gain.

The families who were forcibly requisitioned to the sea were all based on households, and the compensation was basically based on the number of heads, and the food, drink, housing and transportation along the way were all settled by the imperial court.

These poor families did not have anything to spend money on the way, and the land after arriving in Luzon and other places was also distributed by the government, and there was no need to spend money to buy it, and the money given by the government to settle down could basically be saved.

Even if there are only three people in a family, it is enough to have thirty taels of silver.

What's more, some families have more than a dozen people, that is, more than 100 taels of silver.

Combined with the other preferential treatment given by the imperial court, even though many people were reluctant to leave their homeland, no one said anything strange.

The ordinary people with the largest base have no idea of making trouble, and those who want to make trouble have no confidence to make trouble.

Don't think that the scholars of the Ming Dynasty would completely ignore the people.

In fact, although scholars usually scold a few fools after taking advantage of the people, they are not unaware of the fate of making trouble without the support of the people.

After another toss, Zheng Zhilong and Nan Juyi, who had been crowned princes, had to take a bunch of marquis and uncles to serve as a transport fleet - the people who were going to migrate would first assemble in Quanzhou, and then go to Luzon and Batavia through the two fleets.

Rubbing his sour legs and stomach, Chen Er complained to Zhang Ergou from the neighboring village: "If you want me to say, you shouldn't take those old men with you, one by one they are fat and become pigs, and they have to rest if they can't go far, these guys went to Luzon and what Ya, what can they do?" ”

Zhang Ergou sneered: "Don't be stupid! If they don't go, who will take care of us? Although I hate these guys, I have to admit that these scholars are really capable. ”

Chen Er nodded with some envy and said: "Speaking of which, those who have read books are good, and those who are full of mouths are also, we can't understand what they are talking about." ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Er said with some relief: "Speaking of which, the two boys in my family are also scholars, and the eldest can even write his own name now." ”

When Zhang Ergou heard this, he immediately laughed wildly: "You are stupid, your eldest son was named Chen Gouwa by you, and the second son was named Chen Gouyu, who wants to write his own name?" ”

Chen Er's face suddenly swelled like a boiled prawn, and after a while, it was as black as the bottom of a pot: "Who the hell would have thought that there would be such a thing as sociology?" Who would have thought that my mud-legged baby would have to go to school?

Besides, aren't you still called a second dog on a dog day? It's no better than my son's!

The dog baby and the dog are just two dogs, and you are also called two dogs, otherwise you just recognize me as a godfather! ”

"Get out! Get lost! Get lost! After scolding a few times in a row, Zhang Ergou squinted his eyes and said: "If you want to say that reading is really good, but I can't figure it out, I heard that after I heard that I want to let the girl study?" Doesn't it mean that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented? ”

Not far from the two, there happened to be a Xiucai, who snorted coldly after hearing Zhang Ergou's words, turned his head and ignored the two.

But the eunuch of the guard guard, who was with these people, happened to walk next to the two, and when he saw that the talented man didn't pay attention to everyone's thoughts at all, he smiled and said, "Who said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented?"

Let's ask you, the queen is the mother of the world, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, who dares to say that she is an old man without virtue? ”

When Chen Er and the others saw the eunuch's dress, and then listened to some sharp voices, they knew that it was the hundreds of prison soldiers of their group who came to inspect, and they all stood up and saluted at the moment.

The eunuch of the prison army didn't think the ground was dirty, but like Chen Er and the others, he directly picked up his clothes and sat on the ground, waved his hand and said: "Sit down and talk, don't be so nervous, before our family entered the palace, it was the same as you, it was all bitter to eat in the field haha." ”

The attitude of the eunuch of the prison army immediately won the favor of everyone, and sitting on the ground like everyone also shortened the distance between everyone invisibly.

Chen Er was bolder, and after sitting down, he said with a smile: "The queen mother, that is the phoenix in the sky, how can I fly out of the family of ordinary people like this?" ”

The eunuch of the prison army said with a smile: "Before the queen mother married into the palace of the king of Xin, Zhou Guozhang was just a fortune teller on the street, and the families of several other mothers were also ordinary people.

According to my ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, the concubines in the palace are all selected from the people, and the young lady in the family of the dignitaries cannot be selected. ”

After finishing speaking, the eunuch looked at everyone again and smiled: "Maybe there will be a lady in your family in the future?" ”

Seeing the doubts on everyone's faces, the eunuch continued to laugh and said, "What? Don't believe what we say? ”

Chen Er, Zhang Ergou and others waved their hands together and said, "Father-in-law's words, grass people and others naturally believe it." ”

The eunuch of the prison army laughed and said: "Okay, don't pretend, I can't believe that these four words are engraved on my face, what can't I say directly?" ”

Ignoring the embarrassed looks on everyone's faces, the eunuch of the prison army continued: "In the early years, our family also followed His Majesty to the north to investigate the Har department, but later he was too seriously injured and could no longer hold knives and guns, so he was incorporated into the eunuch of the prison army.

Our family still remembers that when we were in the grassland, Your Majesty once said that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, which is the nonsense that the shameless poor acid of the Song Dynasty made up in order to cover up their incompetence.

His Majesty also said that reading is an opportunity to change one's fate, as long as people have the opportunity, they must study hard, and the more they do not know how to read, the more they should learn to read. ”

After finishing speaking, the eunuch looked at Chen Er with a smile and said, "Our family just heard that the two boys of your family can write their own names?" ”

Chen Er smiled a little crampedly: "Back to my father-in-law, the two boys in the family said that they could write, but the villains didn't know if they wrote it correctly." ”

The eunuch of the prison army said with a smile: "If you can read and write, you can do something else in the future, you don't need to dig in the soil like you, you say, does this change your fate?" ”

Chen Er suddenly nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice: "That's what I said, what I said was." ”

The eunuch of the prison army continued to laugh and said: "Also, if you are illiterate, you won't follow your son to learn?" If you learn it, you will know if what they write is right or wrong?

Don't think about how difficult it is to read and write, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can also recognize a few big characters. Our family was originally illiterate, but now we can still read some simple articles? ”

After finishing speaking, the eunuch of the prison army was also interested, and simply picked up a small wooden stick from the ground, and said casually: "Look, this inconvenience is a T-shape? What our family learned first was this T-character, so you can memorize it well. ”

Listening to the lively conversation here, the dead eunuch also began to teach some mud-legged writing, and the Xiucai master next to him suddenly shook his head and snorted coldly: "Mencius said: The trouble of people is to be a good teacher." ”

When the eunuch of the prison army heard this, he didn't care, but just sneered and said: "Zi said, there must be my teacher in the threesome!" ”

When Xiucai heard this, he immediately stopped talking, and after snorting coldly, he got up and went away.

Because he migrated to Luzon and other places, he was extremely unhappy in his heart, because he was not afraid of offending a dead eunuch.

Chen Er and the others looked at the eunuch with a bewildered expression.

Although I didn't understand the conversation between the talented Lao Tzu and the eunuch of the prison army just now, both of them are the same, unlike their own people, who are obviously dirty, and they are obviously learned people.

Moreover, this eunuch of the prison army just let the talented old man brush his sleeves away, obviously the eunuch of the prison army is better in learning, which makes Chen Er and the others shocked.

The eunuch snorted coldly: "Phew! Poor sour! ”

After scolding, the eunuch of the prison army explained: "Just now, the poor sour borrowed Mencius said that it is not self-sufficient for a eunuch in our family to teach you to write this T-character, and our family borrowed Confucius's words to say that everyone has to learn from others, so the poor sour has nothing to say." ”

Although the fight between the two is not like this at all, in order to take care of these people who don't understand at all, the eunuch of the prison army can only choose to use this simplest explanation to explain.

Seeing that everyone suddenly realized that they didn't understand at all, the eunuch didn't care, but just got up from the ground and patted the soil on his body, and said with a smile: "You guys go and rest for a while, let's go look elsewhere." ”

After the eunuch left, Chen Ercai asked with a confused expression: "That father-in-law's knowledge just now is even greater than that Xiucai master?" Didn't you say that the talented masters were all Wenqu stars? ”

Zhang Ergou was also a little confused: "Who knows? ”

After a few people rested for a while, the villagers who had been organized into a lizheng hurriedly ran over: "Get up quickly, set off immediately, don't delay the hour!" ”

Chen Er, Zhang Ergou and the others suddenly stopped idle, got up and gathered with everyone, and continued to walk towards Quanzhou.

After the Southern Imperial Forest Army slaughtered the Spaniards in Luzon, they joined forces with Li Qizi and other pirates to dispose of the natives on the island.

After all, as officers and soldiers, the Southern Imperial Forest Army still has to worry about some face, and they can't go out loud to catch the natives and sell laborers, and the pirates don't have this concern.

As for how to divide it in the middle, who has more and who has less, that is the matter between the Southern Imperial Forest Army and the pirates, and even Zheng Zhilong didn't ask.

After Chen Er, Wang Ergou and the others arrived in Luzon, except for some wild creatures, there was no humanoid animal that could stand and walk.

The Luzon Governor's Palace, which had been prepared in advance, naturally hurriedly assigned the places where these people who had moved over to live, all of which were the residences of the original barbarians, and many of them were assigned to temporary barracks built by the guys of the Southern Imperial Forest Army.

After the work of allocating the dwelling is done, the settlement money will be distributed again, and the land will have to be distributed to each household, and the messy things such as cattle and furniture will have to be distributed according to the household.

After being bored in Luzon for several days, Chen Er looked at the large land in front of him and asked, "These lands are all owned by villains?" ”

The old men who were sent to Luzon were obviously not in a good mood, and when they heard this, they snorted coldly: "What are you dreaming about? Thy daughter-in-law and thy two sons are in these lands: what is it that is all yours?

Your son's land can be planted by you until they have graduated from social studies.

But no matter whose land it is, you are not allowed to buy it, let alone sell it, remember? ”

PS: I will return to Beijing today, and I will only have one change, and I will make up for it tomorrow.
