Wang Dou is almost thirty years old, and now has nine children, including five sons and four daughters. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infok update

The eldest son, Wang Zheng, is seven years old, with a tiger head and a stout figure, quite like Wang Dou, according to Zhong's words: "My precious grandson, when he was a young stinky boy, was really molded out of a seal." ”

Wang Zheng was originally very naughty, but after entering the martial arts hall to hone, he was much calmer, and at a young age, he already knew how to win people's hearts, and he had a bit of the demeanor of his father Wang Dou. He is the head of a little kid in the hall, and he is respected as the "young general", and his successor is outstanding, and all the generals of the Shunxiang army are happy.

After giving a salute to Wang Dou, he praised loudly: "Ah, father, you are like the sun in the sky, and your brilliance has warmed the hearts of the people of Donglu. Your heart is as vast as the sea......"

Everyone in the hall snickered, and Wang Dou waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, stinky boy, have you ever seen the sea?" When you enter the martial arts hall, you just learn how to make sycophants? ”

The father scolded him, but Wang Zheng was not annoyed, and said: "Father, the child has also learned a lot when he enters the martial arts hall. ”

He thought for a moment and said, "The child has a matter that has not been clear, and he wants to ask his father for advice. ”

Wang Dou became interested and asked, "What do I have to ask for advice?" ”

Wang Zheng said: "My father went out to fight the thieves and killed the thieves and the giant thieves, and I heard that since the early years of Chongzhen, there have been thieves in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. The child doesn't understand, why are there so many thieves, and there are more and more and there are more? ”

Wang Dou looked at his son with satisfaction and said, "You can do this now, very good." ”

He groaned slightly, picked up a piece of sweet cake from the pastry basket beside him, and said, "Look at this pastry, compare it to the entire financial resources of the Ming Dynasty." ”

He pinched a small piece down, kept most of it in his hand, and said, "Ninety percent of the wealth is a great gentry." The head of the army, the big official, the big businessman. There are also royal families, nobles, eunuchs who possess, and most of them do not pay taxes. Or pay a small tax. ”

Everyone in the hall looked at Wang Dou's hand and pondered, and Wang Zheng also touched his forehead and thought.

Wang Dou continued: "However, the country must always function, the soldiers must be paid, the officials must be paid, and the victims of the disaster must be relieved. What should we do if the thieves want to be exterminated? Ninety percent of the people who have the money do not pay taxes, and the government has no choice but to collect taxes on those who only have one percent of the money. ”

"However, these people are already poor, and with the continuous natural disasters, they will sell their sons and daughters if they are oppressed, and they will not survive, and they are bold. and rebelled. The more they rebelled. The more taxes the state has to levie, the more people will not be able to live, and the more people will rise up to rebel, which is why the thieves continue to be suppressed. ”

Wang Zheng's eyes purred, and Zhong sighed: "The old woman has never understood why the thieves keep coming. Now I understand, alas. When is the natural disaster of the Ming Dynasty? ”

The wives and concubines in the hall and the maids and guards looked at Wang Dou with adoring eyes. In fact, many people don't understand why the thieves continue, but after the general said this, they all understand.

Ji Junjiao looked at Wang Dou, her eyes flashing even more.

Wang Dou said: "Now my son understands? ”

Wang Zheng saluted Wang Dou and said, "The child understands, thank you father for solving your doubts." ”

Wang Dou said: "It's not enough to understand, if it's you, how can you solve this problem?" ”

Everyone in the hall looked at Wang Zheng, and Xie Xiuniang looked even more nervous, biting her lower lip, for fear that her son's answer would make Xianggong dissatisfied.

Wang Zheng touched his head and pondered, he muttered: "Taxing those ninety percent of the people? It's so difficult, our family is now a noble, and I don't want to take the money out. ”

His eyes suddenly lit up: "That piece of pastry is small, we can make it bigger." I heard that there is a lot of territory outside the Ming Dynasty, and there are also many rich places, we can rob them of their land and wealth, kill them all, and move our people to the past to plead. It's all dead, dead foreigners, better than dead Chinese. ”…,

Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded, Xie Xiuniang frowned, and blamed her son: "Zheng'er, how can you say that?" ”

Wang Dou laughed: "Although it is insufficient, there is finally a solution, my family has a unicorn." ”

……

Wang Dou's other children, because of the relaxed family atmosphere, so most of them are lively and outgoing, Ji Junjiao's daughter Wang Xi, and Xie Xiuniang's daughter Wang Wan, are still young, from the girl in the room to the butterflies and dragonflies in the concubine's room, and the children are also small.

Liu Qing, Liu Ji's second daughter Chongzhen has followed Wang Dou for nine years, and the children born by each are five or six years old, all of them are active by nature, the three boys are okay, Liu Qingsheng's daughter Wang Yao climbed up and down on Wang Dou's body, hugged Wang Dou's neck and only called Daddy, and kept being coquettish.

Because Wang Dou is a later generation, he has a kind of doting on his children in his bones, although he sometimes seems strict, but children are the most sensitive, who is good and who is bad, he knows in his heart.

Therefore, Wang Dou's children, everyone is afraid of their mothers, and they are intimate with Wang Dou.

Looking at these children, Wang Dou was satisfied, of course, it was impossible to treat the concubines in ancient times, so Wang Dou focused on cultivating his eldest son Wang Zheng, and the remaining children could choose the future path according to their own preferences. Wang Dou doesn't ask them to be promising, as long as they grow up peacefully, of course, he won't let them become gentlemen.

At the family banquet held that day, Wang Dou sighed to Xie Xiuniang and others: "My husband often goes out on expeditions, and I only suffer you and your children." ”

Xie Xiuniang said: "Don't worry about the father-in-law, the concubine will take care of the children and serve the mother-in-law well." ”

Ji Junjiao said: "The man's ambition is in all directions, as a general in the DPRK, it is inevitable that he will go on an expedition, so the prince can only fight with peace of mind, and don't think about the concubine." ”

Wang Dou looked at Xie Xiuniang, Ji Junjiao's daughters, Xie Xiuniang was Mrs. Bo, her own wife, and the country girl that day, and her bearing was also cultivated.

However, there is a little less courage of everyone, which is caused by the environment since childhood, and it is impossible to change much. Her bad wife does not affect her status.

Now that she is Mrs. Bo, even the first-class officials in the court have to give her a gift, Xie Xiuniang is even more satisfied, and she just wants to take care of her children and serve her mother-in-law well.

Ji Junjiao...... Now she is more delicate, she is naturally charming, and her every move is indescribably luxurious and charming. The maids who served her sighed in their hearts, the second lady was peerless, noble-born, but she was not allowed to be a wife, she had true feelings for the general, but her style was often not appreciated.

Wang Dou was a little sorry for Ji Junjiao, but it was impossible to let him go in the position of Xie Xiuniang. On the East Road, now Xie Xiuniang, as a loving mother, helps the homeless, cares for the orphaned and elderly, and pulls a lot of image points for Wang Dou. Ji Junjiao was not interested in this, and actually didn't like the disaster victims.

After the shogunate was perfected, Ji Junjiao, a female secretary, lost her job, and after doing nothing for a while, she found a new job, which was Mrs. Diplomacy.

Ji Junjiao is the daughter of the governor, has a wide range of contacts, and has a noble status, she often holds poetry meetings in Yongning City, banquets or something, Xuanfu Town, and even other military towns, and the wives of the generals are proud of being invited, and their prestige among the ladies is famous, and they also attract a large number of foreign aid for Wang Dou.

Everyone has their own temperament, Ji Junjiao hates contact with civilians, and Wang Dou also thinks that Mrs. diplomacy is more suitable for her, after all, the wind next to the pillow is not small.

Of course, Liu Qing and the others in the mansion cannot be compared with Xie Xiuniang's daughters, they are in awe of Wang Dou, and they are proud of it.

The eldest woman Xie Xiuniang is a gentle person, but her status is there, Ji Junjiao's identity and knowledge also put a lot of pressure on them, and they dare not compete for favor. In preparation for a rainy day, Wang Dou gave them some farmland and property, let them manage and operate, and some clansmen could also arrange it, leaving them room for respite and freedom.

Overall, Wang Dou's harem is still quiet. …,

After the dinner, Liu Qing, Liu Ji's two daughters, and Ji Junjiao sang and danced for Wang Dou and others, all of them were family members, and they didn't have to worry so much.

Liu Qing, Liu Ji's second daughter played the pipa string music, Ji Junjiao sang and danced, she danced slowly, and the music, lightly opened the cherry lips: "The rain is murmuring outside the curtain, and the spring is beautiful." Luo Ji is not tolerant of the five colds. I didn't know that I was a guest in my dream, and I was greedy for joy for a while......"

Yayin ancient music, there is always a sad and moving charm, Wang Dou closed his eyes slightly, and slapped with the music, in the beautiful music, I only felt that all the depression in my heart was dispersed.

Xie Xiuniang clapped her hands, Zhong smiled and nodded, there is really nothing dissatisfying about this life. It's a pity that the man died early, otherwise I don't know how to laugh when I see my son now.

……

Yongning City, a military camp in the northwest of the suburbs.

Chen Sheng, a bird soldier of the first team of the Gao Xun Division, was sorting out his luggage and clothes in the house. Like Shunxiang Fort, the barracks there are also a team and a row of barracks, each with a large room, in the form of a large shop, and can burn the kang in winter.

On the opposite side of the Chase Shop against the wall, there is a large row of tables and chairs, on which are placed soldiers' daily necessities such as face plates and face towels, and the cabinets below can store everyone's personal belongings. At the door, there is a weapon rack with each person's weapons and armor on it, and on the wall above, there are also internal affairs regulations.

The soldiers on the expedition had a ten-day holiday, and everyone was happy when they saw that they were going home and returned to their hometowns. According to military customs, when returning home, in order to show the heroic spirit of the soldiers, the soldiers of the Shunxiang army can wear armor, waist knives and head knives, but war spears, bird guns and other weapons are not allowed to be carried out of the barracks.

There are also horses and mules, and they can also ride out of the barracks, but Chen Sheng and the others belong to the second class, but they do not have their own horses. They are the first class, only the first captain belongs to the first class soldier, as a veteran of the year, he can ride his own horse home, how majestic and enviable.

Chen Sheng opened his package again, in addition to a change of clothes, the most important thing was a large stack of "food stamps", yes, food stamps.

At that time, the food stamps issued by Zhang Gui, the ambassador of the Department of Civil Affairs, had already swept all over the East Road and became the hard currency of all parts of the East Road.

In the current Ming Dynasty, the silver is fine, but the copper money is simply unsightly. Private money is overflowing, and the quality is poor, what crooked neck, pointed feet, fat head, the money cast, the text, size, weight is different, the difference is huge, so how do the people use it?

Not to mention copper money, but to say silver, now it is also depreciating more and more, because of the continuous famine, at every turn to fight for thousands of dollars, often asking for three or four taels of silver for one stone of rice, making the price of grain erratic. Therefore, as soon as the East Road food stamps came out, they were very popular. (To be continued.) )
