The sudden shout made the entire ancestral hall quiet, and saw Zheng Guang staring directly at Gao Erbo without fear, and Gao Erbo seemed to be frozen in the whole person, his mouth was slightly open, and the whole person was motionless, as if he had been greatly hit, Xu Wei lowered his head and was silent, Zheng Yong and others looked at Zheng Guang, who was mainly anti-guest, with extremely admiring eyes, and the Gao clan looked at Zheng Guang and Gao Erbo with their amazed eyes, waiting for the final ending. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Then there was a deathly silence, and there was no sound but the sound of breathing......

"Shiming, tell you to go down, prepare wine, have a banquet, tonight, let's feast your guests."

After a long time, Gao Erbo finished this sentence word by word in a calm tone, Gao Shiming's worry in his throat finally swallowed, and before turning to leave, Gao Shiming saw that Gao Erbo's face showed a rare and heartfelt smile.

When living in modern times, Zheng Guang has also been to the so-called farmhouse many times to taste the so-called farmhouse cuisine, but under the modern society, there is not much left of the real farmhouse and farmhouse cuisine, and the original feeling is not something that can be felt around the big city, but in Yiwu in the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Guang felt this simple innocence.

They don't believe in officials, they don't trust officials very much, the origin is the officials' bullying and oppression of them, but they don't yearn for the existence of an enlightened official who is worthy of trust and entrusting them with happiness, leading them out of the predicament, bringing them hope, the Chinese people's Qingtian plot is deep in the bone marrow, difficult to pull out, but it is also this kind of plot that prompts these simple people to extremely hate corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

One dish after another was served to the table, as a distinguished guest, Zheng Guang was invited to the first table, as the followers of the distinguished guest, Xu Wei and others were driven to other tables to drink wine and eat meat, but all the people in the Gao clan who have some status and some status people from other families came to the banquet, they were full of curiosity about this Ming official who was the first to be received by the highest standard in decades, and when those old people saw this distinguished guest so young, they were all a little surprised.

However, the person who can be valued and treated kindly by the actual principal of the Gao clan, Uncle Gao, will obviously not be an ordinary person, such a banquet of this specification has mobilized all the chefs of the whole clan, and there are so many meat and vegetable banquets, and the number of times it is held every year is really very small, and everyone usually eats and eats to barely maintain food and clothing, and this meal can make everyone eat bran for a long time.

Rao is so, everyone does not dare to slack off, the prestige of the second uncle is absolute, even the current clan leader Gao Shiming can not go against the will of the second uncle, as the last living elder of the previous generation of the Gao family, his authority is absolute in the Gao family and the small family attached to him, he said that there is a reason to hold a big banquet.

"The ancients said that eating a trench grows a wisdom, the old man has suffered enough, but all the wisdom he has obtained is not as much as he has grown today, Pingzhi, the old man is big, and he will call you Pingzhi, the old man is really disgusting with that official position, don't care, there are only some coarse tea and light rice here, people in the mountains and wilderness, nothing to eat, please understand." The second uncle raised a glass of wine and said to Zheng Guang.

Zheng Guang hurriedly picked up his wine glass and saluted: "No, Uncle Gao doesn't have to mind, he doesn't care about what he eats and drinks, and his family is not a big family, not to mention, he can't raise his identity in Xia, and this training garrison is only a temporary dispatch, and he will take it out after going to Beijing in February next year, and at that time, he will still be a civilian." ”

Uncle Gao smiled, drank the wine in one gulp, and then said slowly: "Pingzhi, the purpose and idea of your coming here, the old man knows, indeed, the thieves and bandits that our ancestors followed Zhongwu Gong to fight have not been eliminated, and they will make a comeback.

You are the first official that the old man looks like, you hope to recruit troops to deal with the Japanese and the Mongols, this old man has no doubt at all, your future can be rich and noble, the old man does not doubt it, let the children of the clan follow you to fight against the Japanese and the Mongols, to fight for fame, for merit, this is also something that every man yearns for, if it is not for the old man is fifty years old, I really want to carry a knife with you to kill the Japanese and kill the Tartars, but unfortunately the old man is already old, hehe. ”

Gao Erbo poured wine for Zheng Guang, Zheng Guang hurriedly raised the wine glass and then, after pouring the wine, Gao Erbo himself poured himself a glass of wine, after drinking, sighed, and said: "Originally, the old man would never allow the children of the clan to join the army, because the old man hated those corrupt officials, but the person who came was you, and the one they wanted to follow was also you, since the old man believed in you, he should promise you, just ...... Now, the old man's clan is in some troubles, if these troubles are not solved, let the children follow you away, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled, I am afraid that they will not be able to live. ”

Zheng Guang understands that the final test has come, the so-called good ministers choose the master and do things, since they need them to pay their lives to follow, then they must also give enough chips and sincerity to impress them, otherwise, this is not equal, and Zheng Guang, who believes in reciprocal fairness, can't accept it himself.

Putting down the wine glass, Zheng Guang smiled and said: "Don't hide it from Gao Gong, although he is just a person in Xia, he is just an acting training and garrison, but if it is not something particularly difficult, he may be able to do it for him." ”

That's what Uncle Gao wanted, so Uncle Gao poured wine for Zheng Guang again, and then said: "Don't blame the old man for being a little unkind, the lion opened his mouth, it is really about the life and death of the clansmen, and the old man has to do this." ”

Zheng Guang smiled: "Gao Gong doesn't have to worry, please speak." ”

Gao Erbo put down his wine glass and said slowly: "Pingzhi also knows that we mountain and village husbands can live by land and food, we have no shortage of labor here, and every household basically has more than two men, but there is a lack of land, you also know that there is more land, more food, more food, more food, in order to feed more people, in order to pay enough taxes, so that the government does not come to trouble, once there is less land, the extra people can't live, then we will be finished." ”

Zheng Guang nodded and said: "That's true, I had an ancestral property of 500 acres of land in my family before, and I could only feed a family of more than a dozen and a dozen tenants. ”

Gao Erbo continued: "So, the land is the lifeblood of our family, but you also know that the terrain around Jinhua Mansion is not as flat as there in Nanjing and Suzhou, and there is not much land, but there are many mountains and hills, and the mountains and hills basically can't grow food, so we can only rely on a few fields.

The government does not collect money and does not work, who gives less money who suffers, at the beginning we went back and forth to fight for financial resources, only to find that in the end we found that all cheap corrupt officials and corrupt officials, their own gains outweigh the losses, later, we will ignore the government, and the government to do it, together to clean up the government to obey, and then their own affairs, solve their own problems! How to solve it? Talk and talk, and in the end you can only fight. ”

Zheng Guang wanted to complain, the process of cleaning up the official mansion must be very exciting, and the obedient prefect of the county who was cleaned up was estimated to be very uncomfortable.

"At the beginning, we were the eight immortals who crossed the sea to show their magical powers, and all the tricks were used, but we found that our financial resources were almost exhausted, and finally after a fight, we found that compared to playing conspiracy and trickery, it was still faster to do it directly, and the defeated tried every means to fight back, and the fight was out of control, and the wind of fighting slowly became a tradition, who was strong in force, who occupied the most land, ate the most, and couldn't beat people, and deserved the land to be snatched away.

But we are also measured, we will not really snatch all the land of other people, we will not do the things that cut off people's livelihood, we put the main efforts on the ownerless wasteland in the county, some barren land close to the mountains and hills, and even some mountain fields on the mountains and hills, those lands that the big landlords and the government do not want, we will fight for it, no matter how much or less we harvest, we can have one more bite of food, maybe we can live a few more people, so we will not let go of any piece of land in vain.

But it is precisely like this, the confrontation between several major families is becoming more and more serious, our Gao family, Chen Dacheng's Chen family, as well as the Ye family, the Song family, the Li family and other large and small families, for a few pieces of land is fighting for your life and death, no one wants to let go, no one wants to have no land, the harder you fight, the more you hurt, the more this hatred, the deeper and deeper the feud, until now, except for fighting, we can't find any other way to solve these problems. ”

Zheng Guang expressed his dissatisfaction -- Britain and France have been fighting for hundreds of years, killing each other's kings, killing nobles and civilians, killing an unknown number of people, which can be described as a bloody cloth and a deep hatred like the sea, and once Britain killed 70 percent of the French nobles, forcing the French king to re-divide a large number of nobles, but when it is time to join forces, they still join forces, and they should still join forces, so these so-called century-old feuds are nothing at all.

People always have to look forward.

Let them get used to coordinating problems through negotiation and mutual compromise, and strive to solve problems at the negotiation stage, and force is only a last resort, so that such ideas are deeply planted in everyone's hearts.

This is the first step for me to change Daming and myself.
