The Zhang family is definitely the head of the land in the local area, not counting the land that has been surrendered, there are thousands of acres of private land.

(After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the wind of land "donation" prevailed.) The so-called "dedication", on the side of the donation, there are two kinds of "vain offering" and "self-offering")

We won't talk about the miserable sacrifice in vain, let's talk about this self-sacrifice.

"Self-dedication" refers to the common people (ordinary people with land) who dedicate their own fields to the officials and powerful families free of charge. and became a tenant, tenant, or servant.

In modern parlance, it means that I don't want to give or put the name of the land in the name of a meritorious landlord, and I will help you work and farm.

You might think, isn't this brain-dead?

Sweat! The common people of the Ming Dynasty are really not brain-dead, but there is a reason.

The root cause of this strange phenomenon lies in the special national conditions of the feudal privilege system of the Ming Dynasty. What a familiar feeling! ）

In the Ming Dynasty, the weight of conscription even exceeded the tax grain. However, the royal palace and nobles, as well as the farms of meritorious landlords, enjoyed preferential exemptions. Once they become their tenants, they can be exempted from state service under their shadow.

Taking the "Preferential Exemption Rules" in the 38th year of Wanli as an example, the current Beijing official Jiake is exempt from 10,000 mu of first-grade free land, and the following decreases to 2,700 mu of eight-grade free land, and the reduction of foreign officials is halved, and the official exemption of Zhishi Township is 6/10 of this product, and the maximum of 3,350 mu of preferential and exempt land of Weishi squires is 3,350 mu, and the number of students and supervisors is 80 mu.

The Ming Dynasty service law, "to the people for the service, to the field service". There are two types of servants, one is people, and the other is acres. The battle from the field is legally called "service", that is, the battle of the field grain.

What is state-required enslavement?

It is the state or the emperor who builds cities and digs rivers, builds palaces, renovates gardens, etc., and recruits hundreds of thousands of ordinary people to help with the work.

Note that the state and the emperor will not pay you for these things, and there is no insurance, five insurances and one housing fund.

If you don't eat anything, you may barely starve to the extent that you can't die.

If you think that a dozen people in a pigsty-style room of two or three square meters can be accommodated, I have nothing to say.

Without including round-trip fares and work-related injuries, it is estimated that he will be half-disabled if he is not tired to death.

In the modern 21st century, the state calls you to work, with no food and shelter, no insurance, and no salary. Do more than ten hours a day, tired and deserved. I guess we've gone berserk!

In Zhang's room, Zhu Zilong and Zhang Jingzheng have been chatting for a long time.

"Sihai, what are you going to do?" Zhang Jingzheng drank all the tea and asked.

Zhu Zilong said with a smile: "Of course, we will do business first, earn silver, and then buy land and property." But for the business I do, I have to have a wharf and a sturdy village. There are so many pirates and thieves, and the number of villagers in the courtyard cannot be small. Also, I'd like to donate! ”

Speaking of donations, Zhang Jingzheng nodded cooperatively.

Donation is also called donation, which is a feudal society period in order to make up for financial difficulties, allowing the people to donate money and goods to the state. A way to get a knighthood!

For example, the Ming Dynasty is now in financial difficulties in the late period, so the exceptional policy came out, and if you want to be an official, there are three ways.

The first is the triennial imperial examination, which gives you the opportunity to become an official after high school. The second is that someone in the court or the emperor has a special direct name and asks you to become an official. The last one is to rely on donating money, and the alternative is to exchange money for officials!

In the Qing Dynasty, donations became a common practice and became an important system that complemented each other with the imperial examinations. There are both regular donations and regular donations, and they are managed in a unified manner and the price is clearly marked. (The price is clearly marked, why do you always feel a special sense of joy?) ）

However, it is still the Ming Dynasty, as long as everyone fights for energy, there will be nothing to do in the Qing Dynasty. Wild boar skins can be washed and slept at home!

When Zhu Zilong came out of the study, he hurriedly went to his courtyard.

He knew all these goods in his heart, and they were all distributed.

After opening a package of daily chemical products first, taking out some samples for her sister Zhu Xinyue to use, she took a few sets and sent them to several ladies of the Zhang family.

"Auntie, these are yours, in the Ming Dynasty, now you are the only one." Zhu Zilong said with a smile to the ladies of the Zhang family.

After several Mrs. Zhang's trials, they couldn't calm down anymore. Squinting at the things on the table, he was stunned for a long time, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "Sihai, with these things, no one in the Ming Dynasty can do business with you." The only worry now is that these things will be too profitable in the future, and I am afraid that they will attract the covetousness of others. ”

"Not to mention far away, there are eunuchs guarding the town in a few nearby cities. Remember the toilet water and perfume? The eunuch asked the concubine to pass the word, saying that he wanted a few bottles to be made as a tribute to the emperor. ”

When Zhu Zilong heard this, he thought to himself that the eunuchs in the city wanted to give these modern products to the emperor?

The emperor is his own doppelganger, isn't it equivalent to pleasing himself, and he is stingy with his own things. At the moment, he replied disapprenously: "It is my duty to send some tribute to the saint, why not." Wait a few days, and then take care of it! ”

"Well, it's not a bad thing, so what's wrong with giving him a little. Even if he is greedy for ink, it's fine, as long as he can take care of one or two! Zhang Jingzheng appeared again, apparently agreeing to Zhu Zilong's proposal.

(At this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had not yet hung up, and the eunuchs had a great influence in the court.) Even if Zhu Zilong, the fake emperor, was cut a little bit of power a few days ago, it still makes people look at it differently and has to pay attention to it. ）

Zhu Zilong sat down and said again: "Uncle Zhang, don't work for anything. I want to find someone to cooperate with this business anyway, how about just cooperating with the Zhang family first? ”

Zhang Jingzheng also sat down and replied: "That's it, it's also a good thing for a family to cooperate. Zhangjiazhuang had a field property only 30 miles away from the sea a few years ago, and the wharf by the sea was also easy to do, so you could buy whatever land you liked. It is the capital of the Zhang family's shares, only the supply of goods and some other things, you are in charge, and the Zhang family is waiting for the silver. ”

Zhu Zilong nodded in agreement.

Obviously, the Zhang family's fields are blooming everywhere, and there are some everywhere in the local area. And there is one twenty or thirty miles from the sea, which could not be better. In addition, the ground snake has a local advantage, heh!

And in that place, Zhu Zilong can not only be used as a commercial transit station, but also can cultivate some of his own forces there.

The next step was to negotiate some cooperation charters, and the discussion lasted until late at night.

It was night when Zhang Jingzheng and Zhu Zilong drank and had supper, and when they were drunk, they were happy to say that they leaked their mouths.

It turned out that Zhang Jingzheng, who had entered middle age, was not very OK in sexual function. Don't look at how many ladies there are, but they can't even meet the requirements of a lady in one room on weekdays. A rich man who belongs to the quasi-impotence model!

And according to what he said in his drunken words, it seems that the men in the nearby cities and in the major families may basically be in the same situation.

At the moment, Zhu Zilong was happy.

So, the modern viagra medicine (Viagra) brought by my brother this time is really useful?

So, the next minute.

Zhu Zilong decided to test Lao Zhang's current Xiaobai first, and mysteriously took out a few genuine Viagra trees, and explained the usage and function.

is also surprising that Zhang Jingzheng, who was originally drunk, may have been depressed in this regard.

As soon as I heard the role of Viagra, I was drunk for nine points, woke up for eight points, and suddenly sobered up.

Then, with a face full of excitement, he took the Viagra pill and took it with water, and then there was no more, and he ran to the lady's room like a rabbit.

Comrade Zhu Zilong looked at Lao Zhang and directly ate all three Viagra trees. The corners of his mouth twitched, his forehead was full of black lines, and even a bead of cold sweat slid down!

Old Uncle Zhang, it seems that tonight he is going to become a King Kong Arhat!
