Chapter 001: Prospects
(Brothers, I'm back again, please continue to support me)
In fact, as the king of Shaanxi, Lu Shi, sitting in his courtyard at this time, was in a very depressed mood.
At this time, it was the spring of the fourth year of Chongzhen, although the drought in Shaanxi still did not subside, and the Xiaoice River period did not subside, but it could not affect the pace of spring arrival, after a winter of bitter cold and suffering, the old willow behind Lu Shi did not know how many years, still tenaciously in the warm and cold spring breeze, trying to stretch its vitality, the goose-yellow branches danced softly in the wind, to this lively to disturb the small courtyard, fill a trace of elegant.
Xiaoya was in this spring breeze and willows, her face was calm and quiet like a cat, standing quietly behind her uncle Lu Shi, gently fiddling with the corners of Lu Shi's clothes.
Since Xiaoya saw the tragic death of her father Zhang Laoshi in Mizhi, and after her uncle Lu Shi led a team of nearly 10,000 people to the extended breakout, her mother and thousands of people sacrificed, and the twelve-year-old Xiaoya became silent, to be exact, she hardly said a word.
Even in the 100,000 intruders surrounded and protected, there was only fear in her eyes, and it was still fear. And as long as she pulls the corner of her uncle's clothes, even in the millions of officers and soldiers, her eyes are full of peace, which is a real peace.
This is a disease, a modern disease that makes Lu Shi helpless - autism, which cannot be cured by medicine, and can only be slowly channeled by patience.
Feeling that the rhythm of Xiaoya's hand fiddling with the corners of her clothes was a little fast, she gently patted Xiaoya's little head and made her quiet again, Xiaoya's hand became soft again, and her face was full of peace and brilliance again, Lu Shi held his cheeks again, looking at the brothers who sat in the hall and came to eat on time every day, looking at the resolute will shown by Zhang for rice, his unshakable body, and the butt that stuck to the bench, Lu Shi was really helpless, and wanted to stand up and shout: "AA system." ”
However, Lu Shi knows that this is not the previous life, although this is the end of the Ming Dynasty, but, this is an era when the development of feudal society has reached the extreme, li, this thing has gone up and down for more than 4,000 years, almost reached the perfect era, if you really stand up and be so cold that you shout AA system, you will definitely be despised by the brothers who are gathered together, not only will they be despised, but even will be despised by the homeless people who are still struggling under the line of life and death, contempt, and even-
At this time, Lu Shi wanted to raise the question of his own money to Li Chunhou, who was already the head of the household department of the entire Shaanxi Chuang Wangfu. I have worked hard for many years, and everyone else has a land or a mouth, even if it is the whole of Shaanxi, the people who were originally homeless people have their own land, and the only outlier here is that they have nothing.
And every time this matter is mentioned, it will be opposed by the civil officials headed by Chen Ce, the head of the Shaanxi Chuang Wangfu: "Let's not talk about the world, at least the whole Shaanxi, the land of the land is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." Look at the whole Shaanxi, and as long as you are aggressive, then, the whole world is yours, and all we hold is your money, so what else do you want? ”
For the civil and military forces of Shaanxi, King Chuang's fortune is related to the national system and the essence, which must not be compromised. We want to pay for you, that's because we're working for you, of course, you have to give us money, and it's not okay if it's less, but if you are the boss, if you also take the money, then you are not the boss, just like us, then, who else do we work for, and who are we loyal to?
Without the object of allegiance, it is an unimaginable fatal problem for any group that wants to change the world, as for what Lu Shi is spending now? Of course, that is the matter of his breaking into the king, which has nothing to do with everyone and can be ignored.
Every time he was taught by Chen Ce, who had a heartbroken face, Lu Shi felt embarrassed, and rushed to this house, which was indeed a bit of a small family.
His temperament is indeed a little rich, that is, he is not enterprising.
In the 21st century, I was originally a small farmer who graduated from high school, with no ambitions, no ambitions, and was ready to live the second half of my life like that.
But since crossing in the first year of Chongzhen, from a homeless person step by step to the present, attacking rice fat, fighting rich county, extending thousands of miles to break through, and then to the later battle of Huanglong, the battle of Weinan, swept the whole of Shaanxi, and even strangled Gao Yingxiang, encircled and suppressed Li Zicheng, every step is to struggle to survive in the late Ming Dynasty, every time is a passive struggle, what you do is really once (for details, please refer to my bad work "New Chuang King") to take the initiative? When you think about it, you really don't.
However, according to Chen Ce's intentions, now, since the whole of Shaanxi is already the new king who replaced the original Li Zicheng, then Lu Shi wants to go to the treasury and take a few taels of silver to spend. It stands to reason that it's your own money after all.
However, this idea was immediately strongly opposed by Zhao Zi, the secretary of the Supervision Yuan of the Chuang Wangfu, who still moved out of the words of the sage, and said calmly but extremely painfully: "As a benevolent person who cares about the world, you should take the world as the public, how can you be so selfish?" The king is not desirable. Then he deliberately looked at Lu Shi, and said with an impassioned face: "You, now you have the potential to be a faint king, this is all the fault of us who are brothers and courtiers, we have to introspect and reflect, we must resolutely fight against your thoughts, and we must keep reminding you all the time, what is the fate of the faint monarch in this world." Lu Shi surrendered with his hands raised on the spot.
Now, Lu Shi hates saints extremely, how can there be such a thing? Good and bad words are all you say, over and over again, then do you want people to live.
"I must overturn the rites of sainthood, and I must change this truth." Lu Shi gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
However, but, the saint's religion has existed for thousands of years, and his existence has his reason, at least the truth is that the world's four ancient civilizations, go to the third and survive one of them, this is not only the result of the square word, but also the result of the saint's education. Thinking about that result, Lu Shi still gave up in frustration.
So, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the whole world had been turned upside down, Lu Shi, the king of Chuang, was rich and poor.
At this time, Lu Shi began to think in the dead of night how he should play some tricks and embezzle some of his own money, at least he could not reach out to his wife, Chunlan, the commander of the Women's Army, for money.
"Godfather, shouldn't I be corrupt and let me stop eating soft rice? It's a big deal about my face. Lu Shi cheekily rushed to the current third uncle, that is, his godfather, and once again mentioned this issue related to his status in the family.
As a result, after watching his wife bring someone to serve a hot meal, the third uncle knocked on the table and said loudly to Lu Shi: "Off topic, off topic, now our topic is to eat." ”
"Off topic? I don't think I'm right to get to the point. Lu Shi, who was eating, was full of bitterness.
As a king, to achieve such an embarrassing situation as himself, it can be said that there is no one before or since, "No matter what I do, I must raise the issue of my treatment again." Chewing hard, Lu Shi made up his mind.
"Shaanxi has been war-free for a long time, and it is inevitable that the soldiers will be lazy." Chen Ce put down his wine glass and brought up the topic with a sad face.
Lu Shi put the rice bowl directly on his face: "The sage speaks, the food does not speak, and the sleep does not speak, do you eat the words of the sage into your stomach?" "The reason why I am so slanderous is because, in the next step, it will definitely be another education for myself, a headache.
At the same time, it was also Lu Shi who wanted to change the topic, don't keep mentioning the war, okay? That's the people who are going to die, they are all his brothers, they are all his parents and people, he wants to protect them well now, and live well in this troubled world, that's all.
It seems that everyone turned a blind eye to Lu Shi's belly, put down their wine glasses and rice bowls together, and began to concentrate on discussing major affairs of the court and politics again.
It also became a habit.
After Lu Shi was elected as the king of Chuang, in Xi'an Dingdu, at that time, in Xi'an set up the palace of the king, according to the custom of the time, the palace and the palace of the king are not separated, the front office, the back of the home.
However, Lu Shi resolutely opposed this approach.
The reason is that this bad habit has caused the mentality of officials, that is, the official is the family, the family is the official, and the water and soil on this side are the things in their own pockets, which can be taken and taken, which has created a word: "Shepherd the side." "What do you mean? That is, the ruler is the shepherd, and the people under his rule are sheep, not only to shear the sheep, but also to drink the sheep's milk, and finally, to kill the sheep for the tooth sacrifice.
Therefore, if the yamen in various places are separated from the officials, they will subconsciously eliminate this thought, you are just working in the yamen, and the yamen is not your home, maybe tomorrow, the yamen will be replaced by a different person to work. Therefore, you are now just a passer-by in this iron-clad yamen, and do your business well, or you will have to stay at home and not in the yamen.
Sheep shearing? You're waiting to pick up sheep dung, you.
Therefore, leading by example, Lu Shi broke into the palace not far from here, and used Chunlan's Yulu to set up a small courtyard, with only two entrances before and after, and no more than four rooms in width. There are only two wings on the left and right.
There is no housekeeper or anything like that in the gatehouse, it is his own guard station, so he serves as the gatehouse, and the two wings live with the three female soldiers brought by Chunlan at the beginning.
The front is the hall and study, and the back is the bedroom of himself and Chunlan, of course, there is a small bedroom of Xiaoya, of course, every night, he must coax Xiaoya to fall asleep before he can share the bed with Chunlan.
And every morning to noon, everyone gathered in the lobby of the Chuang Wangfu, sat together, talked about the government affairs of the whole Shaanxi, if it could not be solved for a while, then wait for tomorrow to continue.
However, when the meeting ended at noon, these brothers followed themselves and walked to their homes with ease, and then sat and waited for the third aunt to take Chunlan's three female soldiers to dinner.
Of course, according to the original habit, everyone chatted while eating and continued with the morning's business.
