When he said this, the old man had a yearning look on his face, as if life at that time was a fairyland on earth, but he didn't feel it at the time, he didn't cherish it much, and now he thinks about it, even if it is a day like living one more day, death is worth it!

Wanhua also sighed when he heard it, if he wanted to say what the old man said, Wanhua believed it, and he had heard his father say that the life of the common people at that time was also good, at least there was food and drink, food and clothing, and there was no worry.

For more than a dozen copper coins a day, you can eat a meal with a few meat dishes, and for a few dollars, you can get a pot of wine, and drink a few side dishes.

Therefore, in the eyes of the people, the Wanli Emperor is the general existence of the Holy Son of Heaven, the more difficult the current situation, the more the people miss the life of the Wanli Emperor when he was in power, and they all wish that the Ming Dynasty would have another such emperor.

However, it is one thing for the common people to miss it, and in the history books, Emperor Wanli has another evaluation.

said that he was a dumb monarch who had not been in court for decades, and he knew that he hid in the deep palace all day long to play with women, and he didn't care about the country's major affairs, just like the country was not their Zhu family, as soon as he messed with it, the Ming Dynasty began to decline in his hands, anyway, in the mouths of those civil officials, Emperor Wanli became a piece of scum.

After sighing, the old man continued: "But after the temple master left, this day seems to be worse than one day, and when the Ximiao master (Emperor of the Apocalypse) is in power, he often can't open the pot, but you say it's difficult, then grit your teeth, and you can make do."

But since today's son ascended the throne, then he can't live, I remember the old man clearly, it was the first year of Chongzhen, that year of the drought, our crops were not harvested, and every family couldn't open the pot,

Thinking that we are so difficult, when today's son said that he is a wise man, he should give us a tax reduction, and he will also save the disaster and send us some food to survive the disaster year.

Who knows that not only has it not been reduced, but this tax has also been increased by more than half, which still makes people not live! That year, because my family couldn't pay the taxes, my son was imprisoned in the county jail, and finally died inside. Thirteen people died in our village that year, and I remember the old man all my life, what is Daomingjun, I bah, if this bullshit emperor is in front of me, the old man I want to fight with him, I want to spit on his face! ”

When Wanhua heard this, he was also embarrassed in his heart, this added half of the tax, that is, the matter of transferring taxes to Jiangnan, the 600,000 taels of silver that should have been paid in the Jiangnan area, Emperor Chongzhen exempted it, but he was reluctant to pay this silver, so he asked Shaanxi to pay on his behalf, just this holy decree, how many people died!

"My son died, my daughter-in-law cried darkly, I couldn't afford to get sick, and I died of illness not long after, since then I have been dependent on my two little grandsons, if it weren't for this grandson, my old man wouldn't want to live for a long time, this world, not people live!"

"And what about later, how did you pay your family's taxes in the past few years?"

Seeing that his son is dead and his daughter-in-law is also dead, just this old man has to bring two grandchildren, how can he live this life? How did he get over the years? Thinking of this, Wanhua asked.

"Hey, I still pay a fart tax, my family can't pay it when my son is here, my son is dead, I rely on the little old man, where can I still afford it, I ran away with my two grandchildren the next year.

But where can I run away, Xiao Lao'er is a person here, and he will die here, so I took my two grandsons to the mountains, and in the past few years, I have been hiding in Tibet, and the government has sent people to search the mountains, so we have been hiding everywhere, they are gone, and we are back.

But fortunately, God bless, there is nothing wrong with our grandfather, some people are unlucky, they are caught by the government, or they are taken to Zhang Papi's house to work as coolies, or they are taken to Niu Cramp's house to dig coal mines, and I don't know how many people died of exhaustion! ”

"What? Why did the government arrest someone, but they were taken to the peel and the cow cramps, who are these two guys? Why such a nickname? ”

Wanhua heard that it was wrong, it is said that the government arrested those people who evaded taxes, you said that you were caught in the prison and forced to pay taxes to death, this is still common, how did you get to Pingliang, but in the end they were taken to Zhangjianiu's house, what is the origin of these two families!

When the old man heard Wanhua's words, he was angry, and replied: "Hmph, these two families are wolves that eat people and don't spit out bones, they are beasts, how many people can't pay taxes, and the family's land is forced to be sold to their family.

Their family now has more than 10,000 acres of fertile land, but they also have to collude with the government, give them those captured people as cattle, give them land, dig coal for them, if they get sick, they will be thrown out of the village like a dead dog, and let them fend for themselves, not 1,000 people have died in their hands in recent years, but 800, until now, there are still thousands of people in their homes! ”

Wan Hua was furious when he heard this, glared at his eyes and scolded: "They are like this, don't you government care?" ”

"it, didn't I say that they colluded with the government? The people were all arrested by the government, and then handed over to them and Zhang Niu's two families, do you think the government can manage it? ”

"Bastard, what's the origin of these two? Where is it? The government doesn't care, I'll take care of it! ”

When the old man saw that Wanhua was going to take care of this matter, he remembered the majestic and high-spirited Tiger Army he had seen at the beginning, and this time it was as if he had found a savior, and he hurriedly introduced Wanhua to the matter of the two Niu families.

It turned out that the name of this peel was Zhang Nanyun, and his family was one of the few wealthy families in Pingliang Mansion, because there were four or five masters in his family, and more than a dozen talented masters, so his family did not have to pay taxes, relying on this privilege, Zhang Nanyun wantonly persecuted, forced to buy and sell, and took many fields as his own, and now the family has at least 30,000 acres of land!

He took up so much land, someone had to work for him to farm, so he colluded with the government, and when the government arrested someone, they sent him to his house to farm for him.

In their house, the sun is not the sun, the moon is not the moon, he said when to get up to work, then when to get up, when he said to finish, then when to call it a day, disobedient is a beating, beaten until the skin is opened, and the people who see it are too frightened to speak and resist!

In this way, in their house, when will they not beat people to death? Just because this Nanyun eats people and doesn't spit out bones, and treats those people as well as pigs and dogs, this is the title of Zhang Peel.
