Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Law Is Not Merciful and the Reality Show of the Ming Dynasty
According to the rules of the new village, no matter who enters or leaves the new village, they must show their identity cards and say the password of the new village.
The bald egg put down the identity card in his hand and said, "Unity is strength!" ”
The doorman let him into the village.
The tea pickers in the back followed this method and entered the new village.
The doorman was already smiling, standing respectfully at the door, waiting for Yu Xiang, Yu Xiang was just about to take out his identity card, the doorman said: "Master Yuzhai, you don't need to verify it, you can go in directly." ”
Yu Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then understood that in everyone's minds, he was no longer an ordinary villager, but an official in the village, and in the hearts of the guards, he had the right of special exemption, and his identity seemed to have become a special pass, unimpeded.
Thinking about later generations, so many officials, just because they have the right of special exemption from status, for the supervision of officials, completely useless, as small as a piece of paper, as large as the unit's public funds, he can withdraw at will, without any reverence.
Yu Xiang thought that if he could enter the village at will today, he would be able to enter the vault at will tomorrow, and the atmosphere of the entire new village would be corrupted. It will enter a vicious circle again.
Yu Xiang had already taken precautions, and when Shengying formulated the "Xincun Village Rules", Yu Xiang deliberately put "Article 14, anyone must abide by the established systems and regulations of the Xincun, regardless of status and position, and shall not enjoy privileges." Violators will be expelled from the new village with their families. "The rules are so detailed so that everyone remembers, don't disobey.
Yu Xiang made up his mind to set an example, of course, this is a negative teaching material, he straightened his face and asked, "Please recite Article 4 of the "Xincun Village Rules". ”
The doorman realized the seriousness of the problem, and he stammered, "Anyone must enter and exit the new village with an ID card and a password." ”
"What about Article 14 of the "Xincun Village Rules"!" Yu Xiang said expressionlessly.
When the doorman heard this, his legs weakened, and he knelt down in front of Yu Xiang with a plop, and kowtowed again and again: "The owner of the village is gracious, the owner of the village is gracious, spare the villain once." The villain will not dare next time. ”
Yu Xiang looked at the doorman kneeling at his feet, this person was the person who surrendered with Zhang Erhu, called Li San'an, who became a doorman, a pair of children, and parents, all in the new village. A pair of children go to school in the new village school, and he respects Yu Xiang in his heart and doesn't want to hit the muzzle.
Yu Xiang is ruthless, he must take precautions, if this opening is opened today, there will be countless people entering and exiting from this opening in the future. Only then did he realize Zhuge Liang's mood of slashing horses with tears.
Yu Xiang was ruthless, didn't say anything, he showed his identity card, and read: "Unity is strength." With that, he walked away without looking back.
There were other guards guarding the gate.
Yu Xiang returned to his room and ordered someone to call the Red Lady, Ah Niu, Zhang Erhu and Shengying, and Yu Xiang told him about the situation when he entered the door just now.
Shengying said: "Li San'an usually performs well, why don't you report criticism?" ”
Zhang Erhu hurriedly said: "Please also ask the owner of the village to be gracious!" ”
Yu Xiang squinted his eyes and said: "The reason why I want to draw up village rules is to let the development of the village have rules to follow, rather than relying on someone to decide the fate and future of the village, if this person who decides the fate of the village is me, then, when I am in this village, this village can operate normally, I am not in this village, the village is a mess of sand, the purpose of formulating village rules is that whether I am or not, this village can develop in a better and better direction, in this sense, once the village rules are formulated, It's like an invisible me, standing behind everyone, it must have an absolute deterrent power, everyone has to be in awe, otherwise, it is meaningless whether the village rules are formulated or not. ”
Shengying and the others understood in their hearts and understood what to do. Yu Xiang said: "Sheng Daxia, this matter will be handled by you." ”
Shengying took the order and went out. Zhang Erhu was about to go out with Shengying, but Yu Xiang stopped him and said, "Zhang Erhu, you stay for a while." ”
"You do Li San'an's ideological work, he is your old subordinate, I said before you came, as long as anyone violates the rules in the future, he must be punished."
"The owner of the village, my subordinates understand, I will definitely do a good job in his ideological work." After speaking, Zhang Erhu went out.
Yu Xiang took out ten taels of silver, handed it to the red lady and said: "Red lady, you give this to the doorman, he is old and young, and it is not easy to go out to make a living." But give it to him in your name. ”
The red lady took the silver, her eyes were red, she realized Yu Xiang's complicated mood, accepted the silver, and didn't say anything.
Yu Xiang and the red lady walked out of the door and came to the staff canteen.
Yu Xiang and the red lady lined up behind the long line of diners, and several people in front of the queue took the initiative to stand aside, wanting Yu Xiang to move forward.
Seeing this, Yu Xiang said solemnly: "The village rules of the new village stipulate that no one is allowed to queue up, except for the old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant, do you want me to violate the village rules?" ”
When everyone heard this, they quickly stood back in their positions, and no one dared to give way again.
When he arrived at the wound to receive the meal, Yu Xiang showed his identity card, and the canteen master glanced at the number plate and skillfully handed out a box of meals.
This box is similar to the lunch box firing according to later generations, there is a unified configuration of rice grid, dish grid, and the amount of dishes, but the rice can be asked according to their own amount of food, and the amount of food for each person is established, if it needs to be changed, it needs to be proposed in advance with the canteen, so everyone comes to the meal window and shows the identity card to receive the meal, and the meal money will be deducted from the salary.
Yu Xiang saw the number two on the lunch box, which corresponded to the number two of his identity card, and the number one card in the village was Mu Jiugong.
Yu Xiang and the red lady just found a place to sit down, and saw two white-haired old men, with two children, and a middle-aged woman, coming to Yu Xiang, kneeling down, and said in their mouths: "Please be gracious to the owner of the village, don't drive us away, we don't want to go there, we just want to stay in the new village, this is our home, even if we are used as cattle and horses, I am willing." ”
Yu Xiang knew that they were Li San'an's family, so he hurriedly got up, helped the old couple up, and said: "Old man, please forgive me, Yu Xiang can't do it, for the sake of the future of the new village, you must punish and decide." ”
At this time, the red lady came up, put ten taels of silver in the hands of the two old men and said: "You can take these, enough to support them outside for a while, the law is not merciful, and please be more considerate of the owner of the village." ”
Seeing that there was no room for accommodation, the old man took the silver, thanked the red lady for his kindness, stood up, and walked towards the door.
The two children refused to leave, took the woman's hand and said, "Mom, I'm hungry." I'm going to eat. ”
The red lady hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Let's talk about it after dinner, don't be hungry." ”
The family looked back at the cafeteria, their eyes full of nostalgia. Then he walked out without looking back.
Yu Xiang buried himself in eating, and he was in a very bad mood, but he had to finish the meal. This is another important provision of the "Xincun Village Rules", "Food is life, and no one shall waste a grain of grain." ”
Although the taste is the same as chewing wax, Yu Xiang still finished eating the rice in the porcelain plate, and when Yu Xiang finished eating the last grain, the porcelain plate was as clean as if it had been washed.
Back in the room, Yu Xiang's mood was still not good, he was so jealous and hateful before, so he couldn't see the unspoken rules, but it was his turn, why was it so uncomfortable.
This family was exiled because of themselves, but it was themselves who let them be exiled. Yu Xiang felt very uncomfortable.
Fell into bed and fell asleep.
The next morning, a family of six, leaving their identity tags, walked out of the new village, and they looked back at the new village, their eyes full of reluctance and attachment. They are about to leave here and go out to beg for a living, although they have ten taels of silver from the red lady in their hands, but in this sinister world, they are still full of fear of the future.
Especially the two children, who have just gone to school here and learned to read, are extremely dependent on everything here.
The family left the new village with reluctance.
Li San'an's family has become a negative teaching material for everyone, and once the regulations of the new village are introduced in the future, everyone will spontaneously gather to study, for fear of violating them.
When Seungyoung drafted the rules, he was extremely careful, fearing that these regulations would cause innocent people to be driven out of the new village.
Therefore, legislators, law-abiding and law-enforcers are extremely in awe of the village rules, and everyone behaves and does things under the constraints of the village rules.
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.
Chongzhen was happy after reading the recital, Yang Sichang was in Shaanxi, with 100,000 soldiers, an increase of 2.8 million, and the use of the strategy of "four positive and six corners, ten sides of the net" to limit the mobility of the peasant army, so as to achieve each breakthrough and finally annihilation.
In several encounters with the peasant army in recent days, the peasant army was hardly an opponent of the officers and men, and it was about to collapse at the first touch, and it seems that the strategy of "four squares and six corners, and ten sides of the net" has achieved very positive results. The 2.8 million military salaries were moved, and for the 2.8 million military salaries, he was heartbroken and almost took out all his belongings.
Chongzhen is really happy today, and the depression that was suppressed in his heart has been relieved a little today.
Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen, "Master of Ceremonies, is there any strange thing in the outside world that makes me happy recently?" "The emperor was in a happy mood and wanted Wang Chengen to say something happy.
Of course, Wang Chengen knew the emperor's thoughts, so he said: "Your Majesty, it is still the matter of the three evils being eliminated in Dongshuanghe Town, the boundary of Henan. ”
Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, then remembered and said, "What are you talking about Yu Xiang killing the three bullies?" ”
Wang Chengen said: "It is this matter, I will let the minions investigate it, and now the results have been found." With that, he took out a fold from the wide cuffs and handed it to both hands.
Chongzhen took the fold, put it on the desk and said, "I have been watching the fold all day, I am a little tired, Aiqing said and I listened." ”
Wang Chengen said: "This Yu Xiang, after killing the three bullies, he also handed over the bodies of these three people to the prefect Chen Zhenhao, let the prefect judge, and declared that it was the prefect who ordered him to eradicate the three villains of Gu Batian, and the prefect sentenced this group of thieves to cut off their heads to show the public, this move won the hearts of the people, and the escort team spontaneously formed that day had thousands of people, and thousands of people watched the excitement, which had a great impact. After Wang Chengen finished speaking, he stopped to look at the expression on Chongzhen's face.
Chongzhen said: "In this way, Yu Xiang's killing of three evil bandits is very popular with the people!" ”
Wang Chengen said: "Everyone in the world is said to be done by the imperial court, and the common people kneel down to worship the emperor's grace. ”
Chongzhen said: "In this way, my Ming Dynasty still owes Yu Xiang a favor? ”
Wang Chengen replied: "Long live, this Chen Governor is Zhou Xiang, and he has already crowned Yu Xiang as the mayor of Dongshuanghe Town." ”
Chongzhen was silent.
Wang Chengen continued: "This Yu Xiang is indeed different, and he still wants to realize the dream of a new village. ”
Chongzhen was curious: "How is this dream of a new village solved?" ”
"Emperor Qiqi, this Yu Xiang, said that he wanted to build a new village where everyone had food to eat and clothes to wear, and said that this was his dream." Wang Chengen said.
Chongzhen muttered: "Everyone has food to eat, and everyone has clothes to wear!" Isn't this also Chongzhen's dream, this is also his dream of reviving the Ming Dynasty, he wants to become a generation of saints, for this dream, he works day and night, tirelessly, away from women, diligent and thrifty, and works hard.
But in the end, not only did this dream not be realized, but on the contrary, the common people rebelled because they had no food and no clothing, and the entire Daming country was in turmoil.
Chongzhen seems to see his own shadow in Yu Xiang's body, just like future generations watching movies, in the movie protagonist, seeing his own shadow, he has a strong interest in the dream of Xincun, he desperately wants to know how an ordinary person can realize the dream that even he, the emperor who dominates the world, has not realized.
Chongzhen said: "Celebrant Si, in the future, you will personally send someone to investigate the affairs of Dongshuanghe Town, and at this time, you must do it in secret, and tell me at any time." ”
Wang Chengen was overjoyed, he regarded this as a signal that the emperor had taken him as a confidant, and he was busy thanking him and taking the order.
Wang Chengen gathered his henchmen and arranged to go to Dongshuanghe Town for a secret visit, to monitor Yu Xiang's every move, he took out a gold medal from his waist and handed it to a strong and capable Jinyi Wei and said: "Liu Xiangzhong, this gold medal is good for you to keep, if necessary, you can let Governor Chen come forward to assist in the investigation, and at a critical moment, you can also mobilize the local army." ”
Liu Xiangzhong knelt down, respectfully took the gold medal with both hands and said, "Humble and orderly!" ”
Wang Chengen put the gold medal in his hand and said, "Get up, you have to remember that this matter must be done in secret." In addition, it is said that the ** characters on the rivers and lakes are all ready to move, and they all want to kill Yu Xiang in order to make a name for themselves, so if necessary, you must take action to protect Yu Xiang's safety"
Several people received the order in unison: "Yes, the humble duty must live up to the mission!" ”
In the afternoon of the same day, a team of fast horses galloped out of the imperial city. The leader of the horse team is none other than Liu Xiangzhong, the Jinyi guard.
Since then, the information of Dongshuanghe Town has continuously flown into the palace, falling into the hands of Wang Chengen, and has been compiled into a paragraph by Wang Chengen, saying that he listened to Emperor Chongzhen, and since then, eating, sleeping, and listening to Wang Chengen's jokes have become the living habits of Emperor Chongzhen, which is a later story, not to mention for the time being.
Yu Xiang is still unaware of this, he has become the protagonist of a reality show like a later generation, but the audience of this show is none other than Emperor Chongzhen.
