Chapter 107: A Thousand Miles Here Just for Food (2)

The second dog, who came over after five taels of silver in the morning, was holding a breath in his stomach, and he was about to go home after loading the wheat bundle, but he knew that he was stopped again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The soldiers in the morning have changed the guard, and these new faces only recognize the ticket and do not recognize people, and there is no way for the two dogs to endure the pain and pay another five taels of silver to pull the wheat to the scene. I originally thought that I could occupy a good place on the scene, but I didn't expect to not even let in this time. Enraged, the two dogs and the officer reasoned up.

"This interview is from our village, why don't you let us in?"

"Your village?" The officer said contemptuously, "What is this place?" It's the Hetao, it's the place where we join the Chiti Division, it's the Great Khan, when did it become your village? I tell you, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Everything here belongs to our family Khan, no ticket to get out of the way. ”

The second dog was scolded so red-faced, and several farmers who were raising the scene also joked, "Two dogs!" Get out of here! Who told you to have no tickets? As he spoke, he held the ticket in his hand high and shook it around. How can they occupy any good place on weekdays, and which piece is not occupied by village tyrants like Ergouzi? It's different now, because they have tickets, and it's a huge threshing floor, and you can pick whatever is good. Seeing the helpless look on the two dogs, they were particularly relieved. This guy was fine when he was in the gate, and the neighbors could also take care of each other, and he was angry since he called, and it was a common thing to bully the neighbors, and now he saw that he was a grasshopper after the autumn for a few days.

In the final analysis, this is due to the policies of the Hechi Ti Ministry and the weak methods of the contempt. When he was in his mouth, which big landlord didn't have a few lives in his hands, so he could deter these people who could open a dyeing workshop with a little color.

Seeing that the officer did not let go at all, Ergouzi once again sacrificed the silver offensive, he secretly took out five taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the officer. Only then did he reluctantly come to the officer's eyes, weighing a few pieces of silver in his hand, and after a few breaths, seeing that the two dogs did not understand, the officer was furious, "You will take five taels of silver to fool the master?" Give you the silver, or keep it for the coffin board. ”

After speaking, he threw out a letter of five taels of silver, and the second dog hurriedly caught it. This five taels of silver, five taels of silver for white flowers. If you can buy a donkey in your mouth, it's still too little to go through the back door here, and is there any reason?

Angry, but he still has to offer ten taels with a smile, and the most important thing is to go in quickly and threshing before the autumn rain arrives. At this time, Ergouzi understood that the silver was useless in the Hechi Ti Department. Their daily needs can be met with food and barter. It's primitive, but it's practical. Moreover, the Hechi Tibu is not as dazzling as the Ming Court, and there are many shops. There were few options to choose from, and there was no need for them, and the Ming Court was far away from here and could not be easily reached, so the silver became useless. Ergouzi now has a lot of silver in his hand, but he has no place to spend it, so he can only use it as a stepping stone, and he really regrets how he chose to ask for silver in the first place?

Sent ten taels of silver, and the two dogs rushed into the scene, but they were stopped again.

The officer said solemnly, "Don't think that you can go in with the money you gave Lao Tzu, don't you see that there are still people inside?" But if someone has a ticket, how can they work on the same field as you? ”

"And when can we go in?"

"Wait! When those masters are finished, you can go in again. ”

This sounds really comfortable, and sure enough, if there is a ticket, it is the uncle, and even the military master said so, so what questions do you have? Hurry up and get some grain. For a while, the people sitting in a group disbanded violently, not only to see the excitement, but also to inquire about the news. The main reason why the two dogs are restricted everywhere is that there is no ticket, and no matter how much money you have, it will be in vain. A day or two can pass, but what about a month or two? What about a year or two? Either you will give the food as you are ordered, or you will give money. But who can afford so much silver? Another way is to return to his hometown and continue to live that life like a cow and a horse. In fact, on this day, most people have already thought about it, and each person can have nearly ten stone left in the ration, that is, they eat white noodles every day, and no matter how much they eat, they can't finish it. As long as you survive three years, it will become one of ten taxes, but it is much less than that of the imperial court. Why are you so greedy? If you don't pay for grain, you will go back, but if you go back and don't talk about the landlord's pass, how can you be willing to give up the Hetao, a place where drought and flood can ensure a bumper harvest? What else do you want? Hurry up and get some grain.

The people outside are gone, leaving only Ergouzi's family. In fact, Ergouzi also wants to go with them to make grain, but he can't wipe off this face, so he's also a leader, isn't he?

Seeing the two dogs waiting anxiously outside, the people inside are really uncles, this work is getting slower and slower, and they are so anxious that they stomp their feet.

At this moment of waiting, many farmers who had already received tickets for their grain entered the scene with ox carts, and Ergouzi would continue to wait.

"Master Jun, when will this be! Look at it, the people inside haven't come out yet, and the outside keeps going inside, and it's my turn to be the year of the monkey? ”

You are anxious and anxious, what are you doing with him? The officer doesn't pee with him, "It's already good to let you in, what so much nonsense?" Who left you without a ticket? If you have a ticket, Lao Tzu dares to stop you? I can't wait, I can go. ”

A lot of people with tickets are still queuing outside, what are you urging without a ticket? Someone immediately scolded: "Two dogs! You shitty thing! Lao Tzu just listened to your nonsense, and now he is more than others in vain, you are a harmful spirit. Bah! ”

A mouthful of spit directly on the face of the second dog, and the person who has just entered the rice knows that this night the rice is going to be added to one percent, but for the sake of the almighty ticket, even if the meat is cut, it must be given.

Being spit on is not a good stubble, and the second dog is not a good stubble, and replied, "You will believe whatever I say?" Are you my son? So obedient. ”

"What are you talking about?" Relying on the strength of the crowd and the anger of the crowd, he directly picked up the fork and rushed to the second dog, which was fatal. No matter how powerful the second dog is, he is already old, and the people are thin, so he can only run back to the village with a smoke, and even leave the ox cart behind.

The two dogs who returned home were all apprehensive, and his lonely son squatted in the doorway and smoked a stuffy cigarette. My mother-in-law came back and dusted the soil with a towel, and crawled back all the way, and her shoes were lost, so she couldn't help complaining, "Dad! You see, when I said I wouldn't let you do this, you didn't listen, what is happening now? They were all chased away by men, like wild dogs in distress. ”

"You know what? The woman's hair is long and the knowledge is short. ”

"I don't understand anything, but I also know that the people don't fight with the officials."

"What?" was originally angry, but this aunt didn't cook but did it with him, is this worth it? Ergouzi, a big man in Shanxi, likes to eat noodles, fork forks, and beat his wife the most on weekdays. This wife didn't go to the house for three days, and without saying a word, pulling her hair was a severe beating. After a while, I was tired, and my mother-in-law begged for mercy, and the second dog let go, but at this time, the home was full of devastation, and there were broken coarse porcelain broken bowls, table legs, and stool legs scattered everywhere.

The family should have the appearance of a home, and yesterday's scuffle made the two dogs loot, and they didn't even have a decent bowl. I can only send my son to the city to buy a few coarse porcelain bowls, but I don't say that the second dog is rich. But when his son came back, not only did he not buy a bowl, but he came back covered in ashes.

"Dogs! What's wrong with you? Didn't you go into the city to buy a bowl? How did you get this look? Under the mother's inquiry, the puppy cried all of a sudden, and a man in his twenties could actually cry? Seeing her husband like this, the puppy's mother-in-law cried sadly, and also cried, and the atmosphere of sadness permeated the house.

The puppy wiped away her tears and said, "Mother! It's all my dad's fault. Everyone has grain, but our family is not hungry, and there is no ticket, let alone buy a bowl, but I can't even enter the city gate. Those who have tickets can enter, but those who don't have tickets can't enter even if they give money, and there is no way to enter the city as the silver is collected. I'm angry and just reason with them, who knows... Who knew that those Qiu Ba people were so powerful that they beat me. Woo! Woo! Woo! ”

The son cried sadly, what can the second dog aunt do? I could only sigh and sigh at my son's head, and said, "Hey! If you don't let you enter the city, don't go in, can you give you the silver when it reaches the hands of the military master? How can you stupid boy fight with the military master? You're the one who suffers in the end. Who makes... Who left us without a ticket? After speaking, the mother and son threw their heads and cried.

Ergouzi was still smoking a cigarette on the side, he realized that it was not possible now, and now there are more and more people who take the initiative to enter the village, and there is only his Ergouzi family left in this village. It seems that this ticket is very useful, and it can't go on like this, so you have to get a ticket right away. The second dog said that the cigarette pouch was inserted into his waist and was ready to go to the cart to make grain, but when he thought that he would have to give up more than one percent of the money at this time, he immediately gave up again.

Isn't it just a ticket, he thought? It's always okay to borrow one, right? Who knows, the neighbor who is usually polite to him, now he can't even knock on the door of a house, and it seems that people can avoid him. To go somewhere else, this ticket is very important for any other company, and how can it be easily lent to others? What if I don't pay it back? This year, the whole family is constrained everywhere?

In desperation, he remembered the person who gave him the silver two to give him the idea, hoping to get some good solution from him. Dugan and Monrik already knew about it that night.

They didn't expect that in just two days, the conspiracy that had been planned for several months would be easily cracked by Liu Dingchen. Now most of the people have finished their entry, and the rest of them are queuing up overnight in the hope of getting their tickets as soon as possible. This time the plan is completely bankrupt.

At the regular meeting the next day, Dugan took the lead in attacking, and he was the first to impeach Liu Dingchen, which damned Liu Dingchen ruined his plan.

"Great Khan! The minister impeached the left minister Liu Dingchen for setting up a private checkpoint, which required a ticket to clear the customs, and his officials took advantage of this to collect bribes, making the people miserable, and asking the Great Khan to punish him. ”

Dugan said this, as early as Liu Dingchen expected, he stood up and retorted: "Dugan Jinong's words are wrong! The people are very supportive, why is it miserable? What's more, the minister only checked the ticket and did not use this to collect silver taels, which increased the burden on the people, so please check the Great Khan. ”

It was approved by Burhan, and he knew it best. Burhan nodded and said, "Yes! Dugan Dajinong, Ben Khan thinks that there is nothing wrong with Zuo Xiang, just checking the ticket, Dajinong, you are too sensitive. ”

Bourhan's words are a cover-up sentence, if there is no support from Burhan, how dare Liu Dingchen?

"Great Khan! If it's a simple ticket check, that's fine. However, the left minister stipulates that anyone who does not have an entry ticket will not be allowed to clear customs. Checkpoints are mostly set up on farmland roads, threshing floors, and main roads in and out of the city, which adds a lot of inconvenience to the people. Prime Minister Zuo's move is to force the people to enter the country, if this is done, the people's resistance will become stronger, and then there will be trouble. ”

"According to Da Jinong's meaning, these people who have not entered the rice are still reasonable? Shouldn't they be bread? Or should I join the Chiti Department and pay for free? What is the reason for planting my fields, using my cattle, taking my way, and then refusing to pay taxes and grain when I enter my city? Liu Dingchen's words were sharp, and Du Gen was speechless when asked.

Dugan was defeated, and Monlik continued to fight in the ring, not forgetting to show some hypocrisy, and gave Liu Dingchen a big gift and said, "Lord Zuo Xiang!" This is not what Dajinong meant, he meant that the government should be easy-going, not so radical. Besides, 60% is too much, can you pay 20% less? This may be much less resistant. ”

Burhan frowned after hearing this, and paid less than 20% This year, the tribe drinks the northwest wind! "Monlik! Put away your useless sympathy, and if you really sympathize with those people, then pay the taxes for them, or shut up. ”

Monlik is still very afraid of his eldest brother, let him pay taxes for those people? Where did he get so much food? In order to prevent the Ming and Qing dynasties from being full of Huangzhuang and noble gardens, and the wind of enclosure and annexation, Burhan absolutely forbade the officials and nobles of the Hechiti Department to own a large amount of land, and the sub-feudal was mostly cattle, sheep, horses, gold and silver.

At this time, a cold sweat broke out on Monlik's back, and his brother's eyes kept locking on him, making him unable to move.

After a while, Burhan let him go and said, "In the eyes of Ben Khan, the gods are right, and those people who refuse to pay taxes should not enjoy the good life of my Hechiti tribe, and if they want to live here, they must follow the rules of my Hechiti tribe." It's okay to be unruly, as long as you have enough gold and silver, you can break any rules, provided you have to be rich. The order is to go down, and those who do not pay taxes within three days will be sent back to the Ming court, and they will never be allowed to step into our Hechiti Department for half a step. ”

Burhan is going to be a killer, this one is more severe than Liu Dingchen's strategy, there is no room for negotiation at all, who will give up life here? As long as they come through the west exit, no one wants to go back.

Burhan ordered the second dog to be in a hurry, if the Great Khan issued this order three days ago, what would he still be anxious about? But now, his silver has been emptied of the checkpoints he has come and gone, so if he is sent back again, it will be really a chicken and egg beating, and he can only find Old Man Li to find a way. But what good idea could he have?

On the one hand, Ergouzi was waiting anxiously, and on the other hand, Old Man Li was calmly smoking. After a few pots of smoke, Daddy Li said, "Two dogs! Listen to my persuasion, give the grain as soon as possible, can your little arms be twisted over your thighs? ”

The old man didn't have any ideas, it seemed that he only had one way to get grain, but he was unwilling. "Old Man Li! I know that there is only one way to go now, but that's seventy percent! Seventy percent. ”

Ergouzi's greed and stinginess made Old Man Li very annoyed, this is to solve the problem for him, okay, what else is there to solve with this attitude? The old man picked up the cigarette pot and scolded the second dog twice: "Why don't you open your elm pimple?" Do you think you can't see what you're doing? People are not blind, but they don't want to pee on you, do you really think that you are powerful, and those who are officials are afraid of you? In my opinion, don't say it's seven, it's ten percent. I've never seen you do anything so damn like this. ”

After speaking, he didn't look back, and walked straight towards his yard. The second dog, who was scolded by the old man, seemed to be really enlightened, and pulled his daughter-in-law and said, "Quick!" Eat food today. "This person is cheap, it's useless to say good things, it's just a lack of scolding. The ugliness of the two dogs caused the neighbors to sneer, and it can be summed up in two words: deserved.

Just one day after the Burhan Decree was promulgated, Taicang was already crowded with people who had come to get grain, scrambling one by one, sometimes fighting to grab the place.

On the city wall, looking at the liveliness of Taicang, Qi Gui admired.

"Lord Zuo Xiang is really clever, it didn't take half a month to let those Diao people take the initiative to make food, and his subordinates are very impressed!"

Liu Dingchen knew that this guy was patting the fart, but he slapped the fart. "Huh! Isn't it easy to deal with the people? ”

"My lord! Spared them like this? Why not kill chickens and monkeys to set an example and completely eliminate future troubles? ”

Although Qi Gui is a talent, his heart is very poisonous. Liu Dingchen swept his cold eyes and immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"Qi Gui! You are now the head of the internal guard, and there are some suggestions that you can mention, and some things that you must never mention. The Great Khan is not going to get anyone's head, and now the tribe has no time to clean them up, and when the Great Khan frees up his hands, they will naturally know that the Great Khan's wrist is powerful. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The lower officer made a note of it. "To put it bluntly, the Internal Security Office is a spy, and the factory guard is the same nature, so you must be cautious here, even if you are a person in the system, you can't save your life because of a word.

After seeing the situation of entering the palace, Liu Dingchen received an order from Bohan, ordering him to go to the Qinzheng Palace as soon as possible.

As soon as he entered the main hall, most of the important officials of the Hechiti Ministry had already taken their seats, and Bul rarely Liu Dingchen came, raised the letter in his hand and said directly to the point: "The messenger sent by Harakhura Khan, Nalu, will arrive in a few days." Ben Khan doesn't need to look at it to know the general idea of the matter, it's nothing more than a thousand miles to come here just for food. Ha ha! ”

Sure enough, after taking it apart, it was true, and now Burhan smiled even more happily.

Pavilion Leader of the Internal Guard Mansion: The Inner Guard Mansion of the Western Sui Empire is an official position, with no rank! The Inner Guard Mansion is divided into: intermittent, secret, visiting, asking, exploring, investigating, and correcting seven divisions, each of which is under the command of the cabinet leader of the Inner Guard Mansion, but is directly responsible to the emperor.
