Kang Xiaoqi curled up on the bed motionless, as a veteran of the former Zheng Army who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in Penghu, although he did not die in the name of the Qing Army in the Battle of Dongning, nor was he injured in the two wars, he can be said to be extremely lucky. biquge.info However, after he was released and returned home, he received a lot of white eyes from his old neighbors, and some people even splashed feces in front of his house at night, which he endured. But his son was scolded as a little traitor by his classmates in Mengxue and was beaten, and he couldn't resist crying when he came back, and his wife cried all day long.
If that's all he wants, he'll grit his teeth. But what he can't afford the most is the two-year two-year levy, which means that in the next two years, the Kang family will not be able to eat a full meal, and let his wife and children go hungry together, which is not the most severe punishment, which makes him have great regret for the original decision to follow the official to reduce the Qing.
"It's better to die in battle." Thinking of the frustration, Kang Xiaoqi angrily hammered his own soil kang with his fist. "If you die, you can get a ten-year exemption." Having said that, there is no regret medicine in the world that can be bought and sold, and if you do something wrong, you will inevitably be punished accordingly. "When will this day come to an end?"
Kang Xiaoqi was complaining to himself, when suddenly an old voice came from outside the courtyard: "Is there anyone in the Kang family?" ”
Kang Xiaoqi bounced up from the bed all of a sudden, this voice was very familiar to him, it was his own Jiali Jia, because Jiashou took care of him, so he didn't dare to slack off He jumped out of bed in a hurry, opened the door, and greeted the old man in the yard.
"Why is Master Ma here, hurry, hurry, hurry, please in the house, the sinners still have good tea to honor the master."
"Your mouth is sweet, but why did you suddenly make a mess in the first place." The first number of vests fell, but these words were only hindsight, if he was to be replaced, he might not be able to surrender to the enemy at that time, but the time was also fate, people could train people with a shy stomach, and Kang Xiaoqi could only listen to the other party's words with a wry smile. "Keep your good tea for yourself, and I'll tell you one thing today."
Kang Xiaoqi, who understood the other party's scruples, immediately took out a stool from the house, asked the head of the vest to sit down, and waited for the butt to hit the bench, and then the head of the vest asked: "I'm afraid that the neighbors haven't given you a good face these days, do you feel very uncomfortable, and this is also your own sin." ”
The muscles on Kang Xiaoqi's face twitched a little, how could he answer this, but fortunately, the head of the vest didn't want him to answer, and said to himself: "Not only did you hurt yourself, but also affected children and women, you are really capable." ”
Kang Xiaoqi made a guilty look: "What Master Ma taught is that no, the sinners also regret it very much now, but"
"Don't do it, no matter what, you have to pay the two years of levy today and tomorrow, otherwise the crime will be added to the first degree." Ma Jiashou's words made Kang Xiaoqi speechless, and at this time, he listened to Ma Jiashou continue. "You and the gnashing of teeth in your house are over, but your little cub is just when he grows up, and he can't bear it." The head of the vest looks compassionate. "Half-grown children eat Lao Tzu to death, have you thought about what to do?"
"This?" Kang Xiaoqi thought about this just now, and at this moment, he was picked out by the head of the vest, and his face couldn't help but show a heavy bitterness. "Taxes have to be paid after all, and as for the children, I don't know if there are people on the tun who are willing"
"Don't dream, you will be a sin for two years, and after two years, you will have to pay all your debts before you can become a good citizen again." The head of the vest unceremoniously shattered Kang Xiaoqi's illusions. "With the faces of the families on the Tun now, do you think they will lend you food to tide over the difficulties? Bah! In my case, not to mention that the drought has just passed, there is no savings at home, even if the food at home cannot be stored in the barn, I will never lend you this guy who has forgotten his ancestors. ”
Kang Xiaoqi was a little annoyed, but the identity of the other party was pressed, so he didn't dare to vent it, so he could only squat on his legs: "Then the family can only eat bran and drink thin, it's all my father's sin, and if I can't get through it, I will sell the child, take my mother-in-law home, and then jump into the sea by myself." ”
"What do you mean? Could it be that the Lord is going to force you to death? Phew! You deserve it, too. "The vest saw Kang Xiaoqi for the first time that he had a broken and broken posture, so he reprimanded him again, and when his mouth was dry, he showed a little bit of style." I'll show you the way, maybe things will turn around. Kang Xiaoqi immediately jumped up and looked at the vest head with expectant eyes, but the head of the vest squinted his eyes at this time, as if he was sleepy, and Kang Xiaoqi, who was jumping with his feet in a hurry, hurriedly knelt down for the head of the vest. If the convicts are willing to move to the north of Dajia Creek, they can not only be exempted from the identity of the sinners, but also grant 30 acres of land, which will be tax-free for three years. ”
"Move?" Kang Xiaoqi exclaimed. "Wouldn't the first year be bitter?"
"Why, I don't want to suffer when I do this." The head of the armor sneered. "Don't forget, thirty acres of land and three years of tax exemption, as long as you are willing to work, with the fertility of our land in Dongning, the harvest in the first year is not good, and the grain that falls is enough for your family to chew." With that, the vest head stood up. "The messenger above said that in order not to miss the agricultural time, the matter of moving to the tun will be decided in the first month." The vest was about to leave, and when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he threw another sentence. "As for the news, I passed it on to you, whether to continue to be looked down upon by others, or to start over with another identity, whether it is not enough to eat and dress or to have enough food and clothing, you can think about it yourself, but I will say it, there will be no such shop after this village."
"Me?" Kang Xiaoqi didn't want to leave the land left to him by his father, but when he saw his son timidly looking at him through the door, his heart twitched inexplicably, and the answer was the answer when he got to his mouth. "Okay, I'll move to Tun, and ask the head of the vest to call the shots."
"That's right." The head of the vest happily patted Kang Xiaoqi on the shoulder, he was not so active originally, but Zheng Kezhang introduced a new policy after the year, and the lieutenant chief, the head of the fang, and even the Baojia card that was waiting for him to have the status of a clerk, so he who enjoyed the treatment of the nine products actively lobbied for these criminals in the jurisdiction under the supervision of the examination law. "Okay, I'll report it to you right away, and you'll be relieved, but remember, don't go wrong in the future."
Xu Qing, the new director of the Department of Commerce and Commerce, looked at Ying Tainong, the deputy director in front of him, and muttered in his heart, of course he knew that the other party was Zheng Kezang's descendant of the boy camp and was also said to have done a lot of business in Ryukyu before, but it was related to his position on the ass, so he who did not want to become a puppet had to give the other party a dismount.
"Lord Ying, the Lord explained last year, and now the strength of the sailor is weak, so the Department of Commerce and Trade must use the name of the merchant stationed abroad to complete the task that the sailor should complete." Xu Qing wrenched his fingers. "Now that we have our foreign merchant offices in Bintonglong, Ryukyu, and Japan, in addition to this official, will Luzon and Korea also be implemented in the next step, and in the early years, the merchant ships of this domain have been able to pass to India, and when this route can be restored is also to be presided over by Lord Ying."
Ying Tainong was naturally clear about Xu Qing's purpose, but after all, the other party was a Shangguan, and he was not too embarrassed by the other party, so he responded with the boldness of a fellow soldier: "Please rest assured, Lord Xu, the lower officials will complete the contact with all parties in accordance with the instructions of the lord and the assignment of the adults, but North Korea is now a vassal of the Tatars, so I am afraid that there will be some repetition in dealing with it." ”
"Don't be afraid of anything repeatedly, as long as the domain is strong, won't those barbarians also flock to it?" Xu Qing refers to the people who retreated to the Yingguili Merchant House in Macau, after hearing the news of Dongning's victory, they had tried to restore contact with Ming Zheng three times, but Zheng Kezhang asked the British East India Company to deliver the ordered goods first, so it was delayed, but according to this trend, the resumption of the museum was only a matter of time.
"Your Excellency is right." Ying Tainong didn't argue, but he should be with him. "With the instructions of the adults, the subordinate knows what to do!"
Leaving Xu Qing's signing room and returning to his own compartment next door, an official of the Department of Commerce came to report, these young officials who have accumulated years are naturally better able to judge the direction of the wind than Xu Qing, and know who is the real master: "My lord, the news from Nagasaki is that the Japanese side is very interested in the carriage we transported to Min Qingbo, and the Nagasaki government is ready to order three as gifts for Edo, is this business to be done?" ”
"You sent a letter to ask the Salt and Iron Division about the carriage, and the official remembers that the production of this thing seems to be very low." Ying Tainong said, according to reason, the little official should have retreated at this moment, but where is the other party, Ying Tainong couldn't help but ask strangely. "Anything else?"
"The Nagasaki side also reported that Min Qingbo and his family had organized a business of their own to deal in goods between Nagasaki and Dongning, and Min Qingbo and they asked if they could buy a few merchant ships from the main domain, and as for the sailors, they could recruit them themselves in Nagasaki."
"I'm afraid I'll have to consult the Lord about this matter." Ying Tainong frowned, although Zheng Zhi and the others were exiled, they couldn't write two Zheng characters in one stroke, with the identity of Zheng Kezang's uncle, Ying Tainong was really difficult to make a decision. "But first, you can ask if there are any twin-sail ships and ships left in the shipyard."
The little official went in response, Ying Tainong took out a file, this is the regular report of Cai Tong and Sun Fei, he looked at it carefully again, and then took out a blank piece of paper to write something, but before he could write a few words, another small official came in and reported: "My lord, the ship of the Yingguili people has arrived again, Lord Xu asked you to greet you." ”
"Got it," Ying Tainong bowed his head in response, but did not put down his pen. "Let the Inguli people wait honestly." Since Zheng Fan has not yet reached Africa, the source of black slaves can only rely on the transportation of the Yingguili people, so the other party's reasoning is actually a win-win situation, but to the outside world, Zheng Fan will never reveal his tone like this. "Later, I'll see them again."
