Chapter Seventy-One: It's a Pity
Zhang Zhen's sentence 'You are waiting to be reduced to starvation, because of what?!' The questioning words entered the hearts of the captives at once.
There may be people who are poor because of natural and man-made disasters, because of laziness, because of timidity, because of bad luck, because they have no background and no background, and because of various reasons, but no matter who they are, even if they are beggars, they will not enjoy poverty, let alone hungry people who are hungry and cold.
Only the first sentence was asked into my heart, and Zhang Zhen in the back recounted the words of the Ming court, which was ironclad evidence in the face of the embarrassment of the prisoners in the past.
Regardless of men, women, young and old, Zhang Zhen's words reminded them of the past, and the past that they didn't want to think of in their hearts surfaced in front of them, and the tragic memories were as if they were yesterday.
Whether it was crying and wiping tears, or being sad, his eyes gradually became firm, and Zhang Zhen's words behind him were like a ray of dawn in the boundless darkness, allowing people to see hope.
Until Zhang Zhen's firm almost roaring words came out, no one hesitated, and shouted hoarsely one by one: "Overthrow the Ming Dynasty!" Overthrow the Ming Dynasty!! Overthrow the Ming Dynasty!! ”
The roar of more than 4,000 people, I don't know how many times I shouted, spread far away.
When people's emotions were almost vented, Zhang Zhen raised his hand, silenced in an instant, and the needle could be heard at once, I believe that in addition to Nanyang, the most elite team in the world could not do such an order to prohibit it.
Zhang Zhen sighed: "Last night's conflict was really a helpless move to protect oneself, and if a relative passed away because of this, report it and let Yang Hanlin write it down, so that he can make compensation in the future." ”
Zhang Zhen thought about it and said: "Later, I will set the conditions for conscription, and what I pass is the soldier who guards our Nanyang, even if I can't pass it, I can divide a few acres of land, I will provide the best grain seeds, let's farm, this wheat has the highest yield of eleven stones per mu, and the harvest cost of corn is higher than that of wheat, so this highest harvest, I don't want to be less than eleven stones." ”
"Let's leave it like this for the time being, if you have a loved one who has died, find the body and build a tomb in the north of the village to worship, and the other ownerless ones will be buried deep on the spot and put them into the ground."
Zhang Zhen said frankly, coupled with the fact that the rebels were going to attack Wanghu Village, and they fought back strongly, even if those relatives died when they stormed Wanghu Village, they had no resentment except shame, and they were already grateful to Dade in their hearts for being able to collect the corpses for their relatives.
Zhang Huanghe looked at Zhang Zhen hesitantly, Zhang Zhen understood that this was asking himself, should he bring someone to follow and stare at him, Zhang Zhen shook his head.
Someone went to the compound to retrieve the pen and ink, Zhang Zhen thought about it for a while, quickly wrote hard, and gave instructions to Zhang Huanghe, and all the prisoners of the righteous army were handed over to Zhang Huanghe and Yang Hanlin.
For Zhang Zhen, there are three time bombs in Nanyang, and the prisoners of the rebels are the most urgent, and the spies in the workshop are not so urgent compared to them, but the impact is more far-reaching.
It is certain to find out the spies, but it is only a matter of how many, but it is difficult to get rid of them.
The safest way, of course, is to impose military control on all craftsmen, which is the best way to ensure that the skills do not leak out.
Of course, this is the next policy, and the popular hearts of the craftsmen who have finally been gathered will definitely be discounted a lot, and once there are more people sent to guard their elite strategy, there will be a loss in morale and the morale of the army.
Zhang Zhen is more inclined to the vast majority of craftsmen to work in the same free-range as later generations, and what is beneficial to the people's livelihood, even if it is passed on, it will benefit his future people, and only military control is carried out on military secrets, and it is never allowed to be passed on.
Of course, before Zhang Zhen broke the old idea of the world that the son is not passed on to the son-in-law, and the daughter-in-law is not passed on to the daughter, even if it is a technology that is beneficial to the people's livelihood, it is estimated that it will be difficult to pass it on.
People are more or less selfish, and the difference is only in which side they lean towards like extreme selfishness and relative fairness, not to mention this ancient time, even before Zhang Zhen crossed over, he had seen a lot.
For example, those maintenance workers and electricians in Zhang Zhen's factory, taking apprentices to repair beds, obviously have that kind of tools at hand, but they want the apprentices to go to the warehouse to get another one, and when they get it back, the bed is also repaired.
Zhang Zhen doesn't mind the spread of some technologies that are beneficial to people's livelihood, which is the same as taking apprentices in his previous life, the master leads the door to practice in the individual, and teaches with all his heart, can learn to calculate the hand, and can improve and carry it forward to give you a capital service.
This is the only thing that can be tolerated by this spy, who has the possibility of being an enemy.
Thinking about his thoughts all the way, he had unconsciously walked two miles, and Zhang Zhen walked into the workshop compound with a few steps.
Yesterday's changes in the entire Nanyang, especially Wanghu Village, which is still close at hand, have already alarmed the craftsmen.
Among them, there are many people who instinctively want to run away from the military disaster at the first time they know, one is to escape only by two legs, God knows if the owner will send soldiers and horses to pursue, and second, the owner is really good to himself, not to wait for the courtesy to have processing money doubled, food and accommodation than the original is not much better, most of them are a little reluctant.
This hesitated and hesitated, and it was late at night, and there were footsteps outside, and I didn't dare to go out, so I fell asleep in anxiety.
When I woke up at dawn, even if I went up to the roof and looked out, I couldn't see the panic in Nanyang and Wanghu Village, and the scene was extraordinarily calm.
The only thing to worry about is the smoke from the cooking in Wanghu Village, and the crowd in the east, the key is that no one knows whether it is the soldiers and horses of the owner or what, if you run away now, isn't it looking for death?
Comparatively speaking, the artisans lived a much more comfortable and prosperous life than the hungry, and in the face of unknown dangers, they could not flee like the helpless hungry people.
Still can't make up his mind, the surroundings suddenly quieted, and when he looked up, the figure of the young master of the owner had already entered the door.
"Everybody's here?" Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "There are three things to say to the masters today. ”
"One..."Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "Yesterday, I killed more than 200 archers from the 100 households of the government and the inspection department, and it was another night to break the righteous army, killing 2,000 enemies and capturing 4,000, it is obvious that I rebelled." ”
"Ah...."Hearing the owner's personal affirmation, the uneasiness in their hearts became a reality, and many people still couldn't help but exclaim.
Zhang Zhen was not surprised by everyone's reaction, and continued: "Second, most of you are trying to make a living, and you can come to me from thousands of miles away. ”
As he spoke, he sighed: "However, there are also a few people with bad intentions, now stand up, I can not blame the past, settle the salary, let him go, once I find out, then don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless." ”
As soon as Zhang Zhen said this, the Tan tribe who were originally carrying muskets instantly came to their senses, there were spies in their own territory, and this was worth it, what if they stabbed the master?
In the blink of an eye, with a gun in hand, he stared at the crowd, ready to shoot and kill any suspicious person.
The craftsmen who were originally staring at Zhang Zhen nervously only realized at this time that it was a musket!
Most of the craftsmen came from Jinling and Jingshi, and they had naturally seen the muskets, and when they saw it clearly, the expressions on their faces were extremely nervous, and they looked at the muzzle of the black hole in horror, as well as the indifferent eyes of the Tan tribe.
Zhang Zhen turned his head behind him and said, "Most of them are their own people, put away the guns, don't hurt the masters by mistake." ”
After finishing the order, he smiled at the crowd and said, "Lao Su come out." ”
"Owner! Lao Su is alone, he is really not a spy! ”
This Lao Su cried when he said it, but now he is catching a spy, and if he doesn't get it, he will die, and he will cry when he speaks.
"I didn't say you were a spy!" Zhang Zhen was relieved: "It's just that there is one thing, I want you to see it first and be a witness." ”
"Really?" Lao Su asked hesitantly.
Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "I came back from the water yesterday, you were there at the time, let you be a personal witness, a human witness, understand?" ”
"That's good, that's good!" Lao Su relieved himself and sighed: "Thanks to my Lao Su's age, my legs are so scared, the owner, we can't be so scary next time, this leg is still trembling, who will help me?" ”
Zhang Zhen smiled and helped Lao Su out, turned around, and already had an extra pair of binoculars in his hand.
Seeing Zhang Zhen handing it to himself casually, holding it in his hand was much lighter than he imagined, Lao Su couldn't help but ask, "Dongjia, what is this?" ”
Unknown material, peculiar shape, Xiao is an old Su craftsman, I haven't seen it, let alone him, there are a few craftsmen present who have heard of it, and I have really seen one.
"Clairvoyance!" Zhang Zhen explained casually.
"This is the clairvoyant mirror made by Duke Xu Wending according to Western law?!" Lao Su was so stunned that he almost sold the telescope to the land lord.
Now not only did his legs tremble, but his whole body trembled with excitement.
After a short period of stunnedness, Zhang Zhen was a little stunned, and sighed: "My clairvoyant mirror is almost the same as Wen Dinggong's, but it is clearer, don't use it to look at the sun, it will be blind." ”
Zhang Zhen told Lao Su, and sighed in his heart, if Zhang Zhen felt the most pity, it was that he didn't meet this Wending Duke Xu Guangqi.
This is probably the greatest scientist in the entire Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately he could not be reused in the early years because of the eunuch dispute, and after Chongzhen ascended to the throne, he almost single-handedly brought the Western technology known as miraculous skills into the Ming Dynasty.
If he can live a few more years and have Zhang Guowei's help, this Ming may not be a different situation.
The man has been dead for eight years, and it's a pity.
