Speaking of the aftermath of Zhang's house, a cadre of housekeepers and maids suddenly came to their senses, although they hid aside when they were in chaos, they participated in the whole process when dealing with the aftermath. The family and the maids talked nonsense, from Zhu Ba's entry into Zhang's mansion to his formation of corpses, scaring off the officers and soldiers who wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob...... just concealed that Zhu Yuanzhang distributed the remaining gold and silver from Zhang's Mansion to them, and everything else was explained clearly and clearly.

The two family members also added fuel and vinegar to talk about Zhu Ba's scare away of the hundred household officials, the ground was full of blood, the corpses were lined up, and the smell of blood that rushed to the sky was much worse in words, but in the ears of everyone, they could still imagine the terrifying smell of corpses all over the yard.

The eldest young master Ma Zhixiong and the steward Ma Qianjiu gasped at the same time, this Zhu Ba's courage is indeed extraordinary. Being able to sit in the middle of nearly 100 corpses and scare off officers and soldiers without changing their faces is really very human's ability. If you were a different person, you would see nearly 100 corpses, and your legs would be weak from a distance of dozens of meters, let alone sit in the middle.

"What a guts!" Ma Zhixiong boasted: "Qianjiu, you will take fifty taels of silver to reward Zhu Ba when you turn around." ”

"What? Reward this guy again? The second young master muttered dissatisfiedly: "What's the reward for this, didn't you just move the corpse?" has the courage to fart, aren't the four Zhang family members who helped move the corpses also standing there with nearly a hundred corpses? ”

Ma Zhixiong glanced at his second brother with hatred, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

This stupid guy doesn't even understand such a simple truth, ordinary people are not afraid of the corpses of their own families, such as your parents or brothers, the people who live together every day die, even if you touch his corpse, you will not be afraid. But an unfamiliar stranger died, and most people would not dare touch the corpse. This kind of psychology is very complex and not easy to explain, but anyone who has experienced it can understand it.

The four Zhangfu family members who helped carry the corpses touched were all family members who were usually close, so of course they would not be afraid. But Zhu Ba didn't know anyone from Zhang's Mansion, and he sat in the corpses of so many people he didn't know and talked, which was indeed a very remarkable skill.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang took out a thick stack of pieces of paper from his arms, these pieces of paper were the Zhang family's house deed, land deed, and the deed of sale of the Zhang family's descendants, etc., and even the genealogy of the Zhang family, household registration, Zhang Douyao's county order appointment documents, etc., all of which were brought over by Zhu Yuanzhang.

He handed over these pieces of paper with both hands, neither directly to the second young grandmother, nor to Ma Zhixiong, but held them out of thin air, this thing should theoretically belong to the second young grandmother's family wealth. But if he handed it over directly, he would definitely offend the people of the Ma family and hand it directly to Ma Zhixiong, and he would offend the second young grandmother, so he moved into the air, no one was offended, and said loudly: "This is something that the Zhang family has not been robbed, I brought it over, and the Zhang family's house has also been guarded by two family members......

The second young master stretched out his hand to pick up these pieces of paper, but the eldest young master coughed lightly, stopped his movements with his eyes, and then said, "Brother and sister, these things are your Zhang family's property, you can keep them." ”

The second young grandmother sighed: "I'm a woman's family, and I can't take care of these things, so I still have to rely on my uncle to help me manage them, so please ask my uncle to help me keep them." ”

Ma Zhixiong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help my younger siblings collect it, and these things will be counted as the dowry of my younger siblings." ”

In the Ming Dynasty, after a woman got married, she was considered a member of her husband's family from head to toe, and it seemed that she had no private property of her own, but in fact, it was not. She was also allowed to keep some of her belongings, including a dowry. During the woman's life, the dowry is her personal property, and her husband's family is not allowed to encroach on it, and if the woman is divorced from the house, or if her husband is dead and wants to remarry, her dowry can follow her. Of course, when she has not left the house or remarried, her husband is entitled to these personal possessions, which is another matter.

Ma Zhixiong made it clear that these things were her dowry, just to give her a reassuring pill, and the Ma family would not take advantage of the death of the Zhang family's men to encroach on her family property, so that she could rest assured.

The second young grandmother gratefully blessed Ma Zhixiong, although she hated her husband, she respected this uncle very much. Then she said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Manager Zhu, thank you for helping my Zhang family deal with the aftermath, and doing so well, I will not treat you badly in the future." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang arched his hand and said nothing. He didn't like to deal with women, except for Queen Ma, other women didn't bother to look at it, so he arched his hand and said hello.

Next is the time for Ma Zhixiong's performance, he arranged for Zhang Fu to come over and live in a small courtyard where he reads, anyway, the second brother and younger siblings are quarreling and separating, so he simply arranged for Miss Zhang to live with her maids.

Next, let Ma Qianjiu go to Chengcheng, sell the Zhang family's mansion at a discount, determine the location of the fields corresponding to the Zhang family's land deeds, and send people to manage them.

These things had nothing to do with Zhu Yuanzhang, so he said goodbye from the hall and walked back to his nest in the side courtyard.

In his small courtyard, it was actually densely packed with people, it turned out that all of them were tenants from the side courtyard, Baishui Wang Er and Li Chujiu and others were also mixed in the crowd, and when they saw him come back, everyone gathered around and asked him what happened later. This story is quite long, Zhu Yuanzhang told it alone, unlike just now in the lobby where a group of maids helped him tell it, this said that for several hours, everyone sat down on the ground in the small courtyard, and while listening, they let out bursts of sighs.

In the face of the peasant uprising, the peasants' views were obviously different from those of the young master of the Ma family and others, and strange speeches came from time to time in the crowd: "I don't think Zheng Yanfu and his gang are considered bandits, they can't survive anymore, and they are forced to kill officials and rebel. ”

"Brother Zhu, how much silver and food did you say Zheng Yanfu and his gang grabbed this time? Can a person get twenty taels? ”

"Are you stupid? Is it only twenty taels? One person is less likely to score to this number...... Two hundred taels! ”

"So much? It's too powerful, let's go and try it back. ”

"Are you really stupid or fake stupid? You will rob this money, but you will not spend it! Within 10 days, the officers and soldiers of ten miles and eight townships surrounded ...... Zheng Yanfu and his gang had to behead Caishikou. ”

"Cut, look, I don't know how to hide in the mountains?"

"How do you spend money hiding in the mountains? Can't find a monkey to buy something? ”

"In other words, Zheng Yanfu and his gang killed officials and rebelled, why are they still ** women, even the maids? It's a bit too much, I would never have been able to do this kind of thing. ”

"That's right...... It's not kind......"

"Cut, you don't understand this, you're red-eyed! Have you ever heard of Wang Erniu in the West Village? He honestly made a man, the year before last, he suddenly killed his wife with a knife, and killed his sister-in-law first, and when he was caught by the government and questioned, he said vigorously that his brain was burned out at that time...... This man, once he kills the red eye, he can do anything. ”

The peasants were soon divided into two factions, one faction felt that the rebellion was very refreshing and relieved, and it was the work of the eldest husband. The other faction felt that the murderers and rebels had burned out their brains and would soon be arrested by the officers and soldiers.

Zhu Yuanzhang quietly remembered in his heart which people supported the killing of officials and rebellion, and which people did not. This is very important information, a year later, a great peasant uprising is about to break out, and he needs to select some people who are really suitable to become the main force of the rebellion to cultivate, and those who are not firm in their will and have fearful feelings will not be accepted in the early stage of the uprising.

Because in the early days of the uprising, the number of troops was small, and the pressure from the government was enormous, the more he needed a strong-willed team, and all those who might affect the unity of the ranks and create unstable factors had to be eliminated, so that the ranks would not collapse and disintegrate under their influence. It wasn't until there were more people and the team was larger that some ordinary people could be included. At that time, a slight discordant sound will no longer affect the general trend.

This is what he told Zheng Yanfu once, when you only have 100 people under your command, if you kill 100 people, you will scare the other 99 people away, but when you have 10,000 people under your command, if you kill 100 of them, the other people will not only not run, but will listen to you more, which is determined by the overall strength of the team.

Zhu Yuanzhang paid special attention to the reaction of Baishui Wang Er, the famous initiator of the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty, after hearing about Zheng Yanfu's uprising, he did not show a very special expression, but a flash of light flashed in his eyes...... Obviously, Zheng Yanfu's incident sent him some kind of signal...... A new way of life, a new avenue!

In fact, after this reincarnation, Zhu Yuanzhang has always been very curious about Wang Er, because from his current observations, Wang Er is not a poor man who has no food and clothing and can't live, but a good man who has food and drink in the Ma family, and is famous in the entire Baishui, and he does not have the slightest intention of killing officials and rebelling, what made him stand up a year later and launch a peasant uprising that overturned the world?

Just when the bright light flashed in Wang Er's eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang finally understood! I see......

Everything has a cause and an effect, and everything that happens in this world will not happen because of reading, it will always cause a certain chain reaction. Zheng Yanfu's uprising was a swift message to the whole of Shaanxi.

It sowed a seed in the hearts of Baishui Wang Er, Fugu Wang Jiayin, Yichuan Wang Zuohang, Hannan Wang Daliang, Ansai Gao Yingxiang, Mizhi Li Zicheng, Dingbian Zhang Xianzhong and others...... In the next few years, these seeds will sprout one after another, and the land of Shenzhou will be full of poignant flowers!
