Chapter 210: Harvest (3)
"Da Lei, I haven't seen you for a few days, you have practiced good eloquence."
The situation has deteriorated again, but Guo Shuhua is not afraid at all. He is also a master of art and bold, these dozens of people want to win alone, it is a dream, even if the brave general, in such a small place, surrounded by houses, he can't show it, and he doesn't want to fight dozens of people with one person.
He relied on it to be a big deal and walked away, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he looks beautiful, but in fact, he is very good at going to the house and running through the trees...... This time he made up his mind and left, of course, he was not afraid, he just looked at Lu Dalei with a smile and said with a smile: "In the past, Mu Ne, words could not be sentenced, but after only a few days, he has changed like a person." β
"The prince asks us to teach us to read every day, and no matter how tired we are every day, we have to comment on the gains and losses of a day's training, from Shangguan to himself. After a long time, I will be able to say a few words. β
The detailed rules in the army, it is not good to say more to outsiders, Lu Dalei explained, but he didn't say who told them every day, and the Dongyu will invade, the difference between the rise and fall of the country and the nation and the dynasty is also slowly going straight to the hearts of the people, that is, the answer of the right talent, he also said it invisibly.
What Guo Shuhua wanted to know, in fact, was this, seeing that Lu Dalei was groaning and refusing to say everything, he just shook his head slightly and smiled.
After laughing, he said to Lu Dalei again: "The crown prince is also disappointing, saying that he does not collect money and abolish the government servants, you see, there is still such a group of people in front of him, they still collect these miscellaneous taxes, and they still force the people to sell grain and land, until they sell their sons and daughters." Look, if this continues, no matter how much training you have, it's useless! β
The situation in front of him also made the group of soldiers who had just returned to the village feel very sad.
No matter how hard and tiring it is in the camp, but invisibly, there is also an atmosphere of independence around you. From eating to dressing, and even shabu shabu, there are people to take care of them, from the crown prince down, the officers of each battalion to the captain of the sentry officer, all take good care of the sergeants, like newcomers.
The soldiers always eat first, and the captains of the sentry shack eat, and when all the soldiers have sat down, the officers sit down to eat one after another.
Every night I inspect the barracks to see how the soldiers are sleeping, their clothes are broken and torn, the guys who are eating have fallen, and the training equipment is broken.
With all kinds of care and care, coupled with the crown prince's example, the military spirit has long been gathered in one place.
And how to collect taxes and how to suppress those black-hearted grain merchants and furnace houses are also what the crown prince said personally when he visited the camp several times.
And everyone has long regarded the prince as a human being, abolishing the miscellaneous servants, dismissing the helpers, and reducing the burden on the people, which are also the good governance that the prince wants to implement, and the purpose of the joint has long been explained.
Now, this is the situation in front of me, and when I just went home, I saw a completely different approach from the propaganda, and everyone was of course very sad in their hearts.
"Shuhua, listen to me."
Lu Dalei was also very sad, but his expression was also very resolute.
Looking at Guo Shuhua, he said word by word: "I don't know the specific situation. However, the crown prince has always encouraged people to speak, and what is in the camp can be directly reflected to him. You wait for me for a few days, I will go back to Qingjiang to go to the camp and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be the master, this situation is definitely not what the prince meant! β
"Haha, it's really funny."
Hearing this Xiaojun's words, Li Bantou held his belly, and his whole body trembled with laughter.
How could there be such a naΓ―ve army, an ordinary soldier at the lowest level, who would actually ask to see the crown prince because of the collection of taxes?
Is there anything funnier in the world than this?
"Lu Dalei, you black guy should be confused as a soldier."
"Look at the stupid words you said, if it spreads, you will lose all your face in this life."
"It's too late to dare to love, Da Lei, are you dreaming?"
This Lu Dalei was originally a young man with a bit of prestige in the village, he was not good at words, but he acted decisively, did whatever he said, and never exaggerated, so everyone respected him.
is a scoundrel in the village, and he doesn't come to provoke a character like him who is respected by young people.
At this time, it can be regarded as being ridiculed vigorously by these people. Not only these people, but also the people who were tied to the ground and squatting, and many of them laughed out loud.
It's not that they are completely heartless, but it's actually Lu Dalei's words, which are too funny.
What kind of person is the prince, a county lord can make hundreds of thousands of people in this territory tremble, and he doesn't dare to think about the big man he can see at all, that is, the county lord's master goes to the countryside, and he also sits on a small sedan chair, and there are officials to help the idlers sound the gong to open the way, who dares to stand in the way, will definitely be whipped.
As for the crown prince, it is not a heavenly man, how can a mortal man see it as soon as he wants?
Everyone laughed, Lu Dalei's face was also blood-red, and several partners around him were also uneasy. The crown prince is actually common, and he doesn't understand it when he says it to these people.
But it was a sentry and a sentry, or the whole team and the whole battalion met together, or the crown prince led in front of the crowd with direct guards, or when training physical fitness, he rode around to check the progress of the training.
Otherwise, it is to patrol the kitchen and dining room, or to check that the laundry is properly dressed.
In this way, it is common to see it, but to say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw a small soldier alone, I am afraid that I also think it is unlikely, and it is too unbelievable.
Guo Shuhua also smiled dumbly, and said to Lu Dalei: "Are you helping them coax me?" β
"Shuhua, do you think so?"
"Well, although you are a soldier, but look at the righteousness between your eyebrows, you should still have a pure heart. This is really rare," although Guo Shuhua is joking, but he also knows a little bit of the way to look at people, Lu Dalei is indeed upright, and the rest of the soldiers of the New Army were originally a few simple peasant children, there is nothing special, now looking at the past, they are all Yinghua introverted, and there is aura in their eyes, and they are also righteous and awe-inspiring. said it casually, but it surprised him, so in the end, he changed his tone and said: "People who served as soldiers in the past had the intention of being self-willing. Even if he was originally a good person, after a few months in the camp, a good person has become a third-rate way, harming the township and the people, because this is what the soldiers eat, if you don't grab it, it's better to work hard at home. I see you, Yinghua is introverted, very extraordinary, and there is an unwavering positive color in your eyes, good, very good. β
"There's no need to praise me like that." Lu Dalei said: "And believe me once." β
"That's it." Guo Shuhua smiled freely, threw away the bow and arrow in his hand, and said to Li Bantou who was in a daze: "I don't have any money, and I have hidden all the food, if you don't believe it, just search it." Even if I had, I wouldn't sell it. Since you've tied up quite a few people, you might as well add one more to me. β
In this way, it is to be hard topped, Li Bantou sneered, waved his hand, and a few helpers immediately entered the courtyard, flipped through the main hall and the side compartment, and came out after half a ring, all waved their hands and said: "Except for a few broken books and bad pens, there is nothing else." β
"If you don't, tie it up and take it away, and after delaying in front of this poor sour for so long, Lao Tzu's stomach is going to drum."
The matter in front of him is actually a trivial matter for this group of servants.
There are not a few people who throw themselves into the river in front of them, and they are also doing it casually. If it weren't for the fear that the crown prince who was close to Qingjiang would be angry when he heard the letter, why did he make such a stealing chicken and touching a dog?
It's funny when you think about it.
The crown prince is probably not familiar with the world, and thinks that everyone can be cleaned up with a single teaching, which is really a joke!
Without them, talking about other things, the county yamen's usual expenses would not be maintained.
What should I do about the cost of the official residence of the post station?
The eldest lord of Yamenli County raises those masters, from the master of Shuqi, to the criminal name and the money valley, which one does not want to spend a hundred taels a year?
Just with the eldest master's annual income of forty-five taels, is it enough?
There is also the county's regular expenses, where does it come from?
There are dozens of officials in the county, and one or two thousand people are idle, and they are all abolished, and they will not do anything else except these things, so that their whole family is big and small, and they all drink the northwest wind?
You don't have to think much to know that His Royal Highness the Prince's edict is completely nonsense, and it is impossible at all.
Now it's in the limelight, everyone be careful, don't cause a big mess, other things, that is, irrelevant. After two years, His Royal Highness will return to Nanjing, I'm afraid it's not business as usual?
At that moment, a few people stepped forward and tied up Guo Shuhua, who kept sneering, and tied them with the rest, and then everyone looked at a few new army soldiers and said, "These guys are really beautiful and good-looking." β
"This dress is really uplifting, wearing a majestic style, and we will wear it in a bright way."
"I'm afraid it will cost a lot of silver, and I can't bear it."
"On such a hot day, wrapped so tightly, I can't stand it."
It is also said that the buttons of this new military uniform are all the way to the neck, and the buttons are tightly fastened, and the whole body is not exposed.
Lu Dalei seemed to be used to it, and he stood straight with his waist upright, without any discomfort at all. In the midst of everyone's discussion, Lu Dalei and the others did not move at all, just nodded to Guo Shuhua together, and then let everyone go.
When the torches came out of the village, and the barking of the dogs gradually stopped, then the cries of the houses were heard again.
The people only have two crops a year, the fertilizer is not enough, the soil is insufficient, and there is no selection, there is no water conservancy, there are few people in the Huaiyang area, the land is limited, the grain is barely enough to eat, and some have to be sold for some money to keep the call, the clothes have to be made every few years, otherwise you have to go out with a bare ass, salt must be bought, although it is by the salt field, the official salt is not cheap. In addition, if you repair iron plows and other utensils once a year, and buy some necessary tools, there will be fewer people who do not owe debts.
At this time, in addition to the Zhengfu, there are more miscellaneous factions this year, and it is just that the grain price and silver of the Zhengfu Province have been doubled.
"Alas!" Lu Dalei's face was pale, he stomped his feet heavily on the spot, and said in a deep voice: "We peasants, it's really too bitter!" β
