Chapter 11: Refuge

The next day, Yang He and the others woke up very early, but he never opened the door. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After breakfast, Yang He practiced bows and arrows, while Minister Yang cleaned and sorted things and kept busy without stopping. After that, Minister Yang practiced bows and arrows and wielded waist knives, while Yang He taught his younger brothers and sisters to learn a few words.

Near noon, Yang He opened the gate, and saw the lazy towel and corrugated hat standing not far from the gate. They looked stiff, wanting to come forward and speak, but hesitated.

Yang He glanced at them a few times, and said lightly: "I am Yang He, a member of Luyi, who are you waiting for?" ”

I saw that the two of them were shocked again, and a solemn look appeared on their faces, sure enough, they were students, such a young showman.

The two of you, you look at me, I look at you, maybe the lazy towel is a scholar, he spoke first, and he solemnly bowed his hand at the moment: "It turned out to be Yang Xianggong, the student's surname is Yan, and the cheap name is the word Dezheng, originally from Bozhou, Fengyang Mansion, this is the chief Qi Youxin in this book." ”

The corrugated hat hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "The villain Qi Youxin has seen Xianggong." ”

He took out an object from his arms and handed it to Yang He to look at, "This is the villain's household post." ”

Yang He took it and looked at it, and sure enough, it was a household post, with a half-seal survey of the household department on it: "Head of household: Qi Youxin, eight mouths." Nanzhi Fengyang Prefecture Bozhou Wuma villagers, Wanli 48 years naturalized. There are three men and two adults: he is forty-two years old, and the man Zhilei is eighteen years old. Don't make a bite: The second male Zhixiang is ten years old. There are five women, the second is the elder: the wife Zhao Zhongju is 40 years old, and the male wife Li Qinluan is 17 years old. Little three: The female Wanrong is eight years old, the second daughter Wande is six years old, and the second daughter Wanjun is four years old. Property: Three tile houses, two hectares of river beach. The right household post pays Qi Youxin to receive it, and it is allowed to do so. ”

The following is a dense list of names, including the head of the household, the left waiter, the langzhong, the outside of the staff, the principal, etc., and the name of the county official, the ministry official, the official of the seal, etc.

This is the style of household posts that has been used in Hongwu for three years, but it cannot be faked.

Yang He's complexion was a little pale, and he returned the household post to Qi Youxin.

Qi Youxin hurriedly took it with both hands, but his expression was a little gloomy, he was a family of eight, but the eldest son and daughter-in-law died on the way to escape.

Yan Dezheng also hurriedly showed his household post to Yang He, and after reading it, Yang He looked at the two.

That Qi Youxin's image is good, although he is covered with dust and ragged clothes, but at least his skin is a little shiny, his expression is faintly shrewd, he wears a corrugated hat, and he also has a bit of civil servant temperament.

If Yan De was not wearing a long robe, he would not have seen the appearance of a scholar at all, he was only forty years old, his face was full of wrinkles, and his hair in the lazy towel was going to turn white. The robes on his body were full of holes, densely packed with patches, and his eyes were indescribably cloudy.

"Come in and sit."

Yang He finally said.

He led the two into the house, and Qi Youxin and Yan Dezheng followed respectfully behind him.

At this time, Minister Yang was practicing bows and arrows, and his younger brothers and sisters were reading the three-character scripture in the hall.

"Ying'er, Qian'er, don't be distracted."

Yang He said, he knelt down at the head of the hall and pointed to both sides: "Please take a seat." ”

Qi Youxin and Yan Dezheng hurriedly knelt on the ground left and right, and at the same time secretly praised in their hearts, sure enough, they are scholarly and have a strict family style, and they did not forget to teach their younger brothers and sisters to read and write, and urged their servants to learn martial arts diligently.

At the same time, a wave of warmth greeted me, and I couldn't help but feel refreshed.

At this time, there was a fire pit burning in the middle of the hall, and the charcoal fire was in full swing, and streams of heating spewed out.

There was still a clay pot warm on the fire pit, but some of the porridge in the morning was not drunk, so it was set on the fire pit and kept warm.

seemed to smell the smell of porridge, Qi Youxin and Yan Dezheng couldn't help but roll up and down their Adam's apples.

"Minister, bring a bowl of porridge to the guests."

Minister Yang sighed, put down his bow and arrows, and he looked at the two of them, but according to Yang He's instructions, he filled a bowl of hot rice porridge for the two of them.

"Thank you for your generous gift."

The two of them were overjoyed, they both bowed and thanked, and when they saw the steaming rice porridge brought to them, both of them looked very excited, especially Yan Dezheng, and the tears in his eyes flowed uncontrollably.

Yan Dezheng hesitated on the way, he might want to keep half of the rice porridge for his family, but this bowl is not his own, he can't take other people's bowls away.

After drinking the porridge, the two thanked them again, Yang He waved his hand and asked Yan Dezheng, "What books did Yan Xiaoyou read?" ”

Yan Dezheng said cautiously: "Back to the words of my predecessors, I read through the four books and five classics, but the students were dull and didn't seek to understand, so they never went to school." ”

Qi Youxin listened respectfully on the side, and the scholar here spoke, but he didn't have the right to interject.

Later, Yang He asked about Qi Youxin and why they fled.

It turned out that their escape situation was similar to that of the Yang family, after Fu Zonglong's defeat in Xiangcheng, it was rumored that the thieves were marching eastward, and the Fengyang Mansion would be a thief, so their Zhuangzi people were under the leadership of the local big households, intending to flee to Huai'an Mansion.

Their initial route was from Bozhou through Suzhou, and then through Lingbi, Hongxian, Taoyuan, Qinghe and other places to Huai'an Fucheng, but although the thieves did not go east, there were countless bandits along the way, causing a serious threat to the lives of their group.

In May of this year, the local bandit Yuan Shizhong gathered 200,000 people to prepare to attack Fengyang and Sizhou, and then was defeated by the governor Zhu Dadian.

Liu Liangzuo, the commander-in-chief, also belonged to the victorious side in this battle, but it was not without the remnants of the rout deserters in the townships.

In the prefectures and counties of Huaibei, there are also bandits from the left of the Revolution.

Therefore, after arriving in Suzhou, the group could no longer go east, so they crossed Suishui to the north, preparing to go to Huai'an by Suining, Suqian, Taoyuan and other places.

However, the north bank of Suishui was not very peaceful, and there were hundreds of people in their group at first, but after setting off from Bozhou, they died and scattered, and in the end only these dozens of people remained.

Moreover, these dozens of people are not the original Zhuangzi people, at least half of them are people from Bozhou, Suzhou, and even the countryside of Guide Province who are either fleeing from the famine or fleeing. Because Yan Dezheng and Qi Youxin are the chief and the other are scholars, they have some weight in the hearts of the people, so the refugees gathered together and supported each other.

As for Qi Youxin, the lieutenant chief, it is not that he wants to be it, but an ancestral profession, a bit similar to a military household, and he can't get rid of it if he wants to.

So after he talked about it, not only did he not feel a sense of glory, but he felt a little inferior and self-inferior.

Yang He shook his head, in the early Ming Dynasty, the chief of the first was quite honored, and even had the opportunity to see the emperor, the so-called people did not leave the country, and the matter was unified in the chief, and the training of the father and brother at that time was that the children were virtuous to be able to fill the grain and grow the first one, and not the glory of Mu Kedi.

Then it slowly changed, and the head of the long armor and the old man became a kind of cheap servitude, and everyone was ashamed.

It's not okay if you don't want to be the chief, one is the chief, the whole is the chief, and the next generation is the chief.

Even the chiefs who have changed from rich to poor are difficult to get rid of the shackles of status, because the rich families often use their wealth and prestige to collude with the secretary and lower the household, so as to evade the responsibility of being the governor.

Moreover, the current atmosphere of the late Ming Dynasty is that the local gentry are strong and strong, and good things will not be their turn, but if they urge the department to send errands, and requisition and enlistment and other bad, tiring and dirty things, they will have a share. In front of the gentry and wealthy families, there is no dignity at all, and they belong to the role of the night pot and the servant.

Speaking of his own affairs, Qi Youxin was full of complaints, although the chief has some power, he can profit from it and make some oil and water, but how can the gain be compared with the pay?

As the saying goes, when others eat meat, they can't even drink the soup, and then think about the honor of the ancestors when they were the elders, Qi Youxin felt unbalanced in his heart.

Yang He nodded: "Lijia Chang is like a person's siblings, if the siblings don't exist, how can the husband survive?" ”

The Lijia system used to be an effective grassroots organization in the Ming Dynasty, and if this kind of organization was destroyed, it was equivalent to paralyzing one's own hands and feet. And this kind of small-scale peasant society does not have a strong centralized power, and the consequences of effective upper and lower passages are devastating.

Not to mention anything else, repairing the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, canals, and various canals and water conservancy projects is not something that a local government can do.

Wealthy landlords, several households in a village, dug some wells and canals at most, and repaired their own small businesses, but when a flood came, thousands of self-operated small businesses were gone.

Such a catastrophe at the end of the Ming Dynasty was actually not uncommon in the early Ming Dynasty and the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and they all survived safely at that time, just because the grassroots organizations were still there at that time. In the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, if the brain is still there, but the hands and feet are paralyzed, what if there are more manpower and material resources?

Yang He's words made Qi Youxin feel like a confidant, and he said with emotion: "If there are people like Yang Xianggong in the court, it will be a blessing for the people." ”

A few people were talking in the hall, and listening to the meaning of the two people's words, there was no lack of desire to take refuge in Yang He and find a leader.

The two of them traveled all the way with the refugees, and they felt inadequate, and most of the family members were young, and they were always anxious. And Yang He is a student at a young age, and he has a strong force, which is a powerful guarantee in this troubled world.

If you take refuge in him, not only will you have security now, but even if you reach a safe place in the future, everyone will have something to rely on.

Of course, Yang He heard the meaning of their words, and he was groaning, when suddenly there was a child's terrible cry outside, and a faint child's crying voice was faintly in the middle: "...... Mother...... No...... Please don't ......"

Thank you for jumping into the sea and hitting the reef and other book friends for your votes.

Back to Weixian a small soldier book friend, bows and armor have to look at maintenance, some people use a few years to rot, but some people become heirlooms, passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years.

Back to the wild Hanlin book friends, I didn't build a QQ group, because I wanted to talk as soon as I built it, and a day passed after chatting, which was too time-consuming. However, there are book friends who have set up their own groups, so you can inquire about them.

Looking back at the northern chopping white grass and 1605 book friends, I'll check it out.

Back to the ancient rhyme of Weiyang book friends, I have set the key characters, but there are also some surplus characters to join, I plan to set up a dragon set hierarchy system, primary dragon set, intermediate dragon set, senior dragon set.

The primary dragon set has one to five lines to receive a box lunch, the intermediate dragon set appears from time to time, and the advanced dragon set runs through the whole book, such as Yang Shaofan, who was finally beheaded in the small soldiers, is a senior dragon set.

Which level of the dragon set depends on the essence sticker you send, less than 200 words, and the primary dragon set. Two hundred to five hundred words, intermediate. More than 500 words, there is a chance to get a high-level dragon set.

You have a good name for this dragon set, and you sent a 300-word essence sticker, I will give an intermediate dragon set, if you send a 500-word to 1,000-word essence post in the future, I will upgrade to a high-level dragon set. I'll post a post in two days detailing it.

Finally, don't use the names of familiar faces that often play tricks in various historical novels, and use other names.
