readx; What appeared in front of Zhang Huangyan, Zheng Sen and others was a large group of ragged and dark-skinned people, and they were tied together with hemp rope and driven forward with difficulty by the sticks of the officials. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThere were men and women, young and old, from gray-haired old men to children as young as two or three years old, all barefoot. Although it is the south, it is still very cold in the middle of winter, and everyone is struggling in the cold wind, and there is anger and fear in their eyes.

"Lord-sama!" Haicheng Zhi County Gantai ran forward with a fart, smiling and saying, "The lower official has been ordered by Lord Qincha to detain some of the egg people in this county here, and wait for the fate. To say that these guys are really slippery, when they see the official coming, they can run faster than rabbits. However, they could run away from the monk and the temple from the temple, and the women and children couldn't run so fast, so they were grabbed by the lower officials and told them to be arrested without restraint, and then they would rectify the Fa on the spot, and they obediently returned. Lord Qincha, are you enough, not enough to arrest the officials..."

"Enough!" Zhang Huangyan was already furious when he heard this, and said coldly, "The student was just ordered to recruit egg people, but he didn't say that he would let Lord Gan arrest people." What is the sin of the egg people? ”

Gan Tai smiled slightly stunned and said: "Lord Qincha Mingjian, these egg people are not kind people, they are all classified as lowly people." As the saying goes, good pigs take evil and evil, so you have to be tough on these people, otherwise..."

"What is a lowly status?" Zheng Sen snorted coldly.

"General Zheng doesn't know," Gan Tai can be regarded as an opportunity to show off, and his eyebrows are dancing and he said, "The people of the world have been divided into four categories since ancient times: Shinong, industry and commerce. Each of the four books is in its place, and the king rules by hanging the arch, and it is a peaceful and prosperous era. However, there are still people who are either guilty or lazy or adulterous or filthy, ugly and ugly, and have been extremely humiliated, and everyone is lowly and cannot be included in the four categories. Therefore, a special lowly nationality was set up, no acres of land were given, and no intermarriage with the people of the four origins was allowed, and the government strictly controlled it, and the generations were replaced. For example, the lazy people of Zhejiang, the beggars of Suzhou, the companions of Anhui, and the happy households of various places.

"Our lowly people on the ground in Guangdong are these egg people. Most of these men are fishing, while women sell fish and pearls and do miscellaneous labor. There is no fixed place to live, and the boat is the home. These people are the most cunning and cunning, and many of them are traitors, especially those who violate the ban of the imperial court and go to sea without authorization. Anyone caught by the government in this way will be punished according to the law to set an example. Therefore, when these people meet the officials, it is like a mouse seeing a cat, and it is not possible to bring them over..."

"That's it!" Zhang Huangyan interrupted, "Master Gan has worked hard, and wait here for a while, the students will take these egg people on the boat and ask a few words." ”

"Yes, yes, yes," Gantai agreed, turned around and raised his eyebrows, "Come on, escort these people to the boat!" ”

"Lord Don't know the county, you don't have to worry about it here!" Zheng Sen** said a sentence, and then waved his hand, and dozens of naval soldiers immediately stepped forward to rebuke the servants and escorted the egg people onto the ship. Gantai realized that he seemed to have slapped his hooves on the back, and stood on the shore like a chicken.

Back on the Princess Anna, Zhang Huangyan immediately ordered the dozens of egg people to be loosened, invited into the council hall to sit down, and served hot tea. bluffed these people into kneeling to the ground and kowtowed again and again: "The villain can't stand it!" ”

"Everyone, please get up!" Zhang Huangyan picked them up one by one with his own hands, and Wen Yan comforted, "The magistrate and the official are not on the boat, you don't have to worry." You have no sins, and this official has come by holy decree this time, but it is the emperor's grace that gives you an excellent way out. ”

Then the people sat down in disbelief. Zhang Huangyan asked, "Have any of you ever been to the South Seas?" ”

Before the words fell, everyone once again knelt down and wept: "Lord Qincha is above, and the villains will not dare to violate the ban of the imperial court even if they die!" ”

Zhang Huangyan hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand, this official definitely doesn't want to trick you into saying that you have been to the South Seas, and then punish you. I have an emperor's secret decree here, and if any of you are literate or not, you can see for yourself

In fact, many of these egg people have been forced to go to the South Seas because of their lives, and they have been deprived of the opportunity to receive education in mainland China, but in Southeast Asia and other places, they have to learn to read and write because of the requirements of work. Everyone looked at each other, and the last old man mustered up the courage to step forward, took the secret decree with trembling hands, and read word by word:

"I want to open the sea and ban it for a long time. Although there is a Longqing switch, the port is limited to one place, and the court and the people have not benefited much. However, the ministers are constrained, so it is only advisable to walk slowly. And if you want to open the sea ban, you must know the sea. I know it well, hard work, courage and faith. Those who are familiar with sea routes can choose to join the North Sea Fleet, turn into military households, and get rid of their lowly status. Chin this! ”

The enemy is far away and does not enmity the ball of the ghost and the yang ball

After the old man finished reading, everyone didn't say a word for a long time, and after a long time, someone cautiously asked, "This... Is this true? ”

"You don't joke." Zhang Huangyan said with a straight face, "The emperor's jade seal is also used behind the holy decree, is there?" How bold is this official who dares to falsely preach the holy decree? ”

"This, this, this—" The old man stammered a few times, and suddenly burst out crying. When he cried, all the egg people began to cry!

Zhang Huangyan hurriedly persuaded: "Everyone, why bother, the Holy Lord has praised you and given you a chance to get out of the country, this is a good thing!" ”

"Have you heard, this is the golden words of the Long Live Lord!" The old man choked up and couldn't help himself, "Hard work, courage and faith!" These eight words, you future generations must be firmly remembered, passed on forever, no matter whether you can get rid of the cheap or not, we have to know for ourselves that we are not cheap! ”

Everyone cried for a while, and suddenly a young man jumped out of the crowd, knelt down and said resolutely: "Lord Qiqi Qincha, the villain has gone down to the South Seas!" ”

"Are you crazy?" A young woman rushed up and cried to cover the young man's mouth, but was pushed away by the young man and said, "Wan Niang, you don't have to stop me, I believe in Lord Qincha, I believe in Lord Long Live Lord!" ”

Zhang Huangyan was overjoyed, and quickly picked up the two of them and said with a smile: "You two are husband and wife, right?" Woman, would you like your husband to join the army and become a naval soldier? The advantage, your whole family can be converted into a military household, and the court will allocate acres of land, less land endowment, and he himself will have a salary of ten taels of silver per month, and the allowance will be calculated separately; The disadvantage, once you join the army, you will have to gather less and leave more, and you will even shed blood and sacrifice for the country, can you be willing to do it? ”

The land does not hate the enemy, and the enemy is cool and refers to the secret place

The woman was still hesitating, but the young man jumped up and shouted excitedly: "There is no harm, only good!" The villain doesn't care about the land and salary, and the most important thing is that from now on, the villain's whole family can be a decent person! ”
