Chapter 650: Conscience and Enduring Hardship
confiscate the land of Du Laocai's family, and then distribute it to the poor middle peasants!
What a great, glorious, right thing! This matter should be put on hold in the Republic of China for a while, and the toiling masses will not immediately jump up and shout long live the great leader, Chairman Chen?
But now is not the Republic of China, it is the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the imperial examination is not the local tyrant and inferior gentry of the Republic of China. The style of the two is completely different, the former is really a "poetic heirloom", which is not something that one generation or two generations dare to call themselves after reading some books. That has to be ten generations, eight generations, or even more than ten generations, from generation to generation, generation after generation, and generation after generation of people in the Jinshi!
For example, Li Tingzhi was born in Suizhou Yimen Li, which is a twelfth generation of poetry heirlooms. Chen Dexing's own Jiangzhou Yimen Chen is even more powerful, Chen Baxian's descendant, and more than 400 years of Yimen. In fact, these righteous men have developed similar to the Yiguan clan in the Han and Jin dynasties, but the virtue of the Yimen in the imperial examination is much stronger than that of the Yiguan clan - the Yiguan clan can become a big official by reincarnation, and the Yimen of the imperial examination can be tested with real ability! If there is not a single jinshi in a generation, the door will immediately plummet.
Therefore, the children of the righteous sect have no time to sneer, and they are all working hard for the roll call outside the Donghua Gate...... Just look at Chen Dexing and his father, before taking the Chinese entrance exam, he guarded Chen Dexing's own mother and a woman, and he studied and practiced martial arts to teach his son all day.
As for cheating? Dream of it, there are hundreds of thousands of righteous disciples, and everyone is staring at the more than 500 Jinshi places in three years. Even if there is a cat in it, it has to be covered up to be seamless. Otherwise, they are making enemies of the righteous men of the whole world, this kind of thing...... Only Chen Dexing, a great god, dares to do it.
Moreover, the children of the imperial examination Yimen read more Confucian classics, so it is easy to go down the road of gentlemen or hypocrites, and they also know the truth that rabbits do not eat the grass by the nest. If you get a jinshi, you will go outside to be a corrupt official. In their hometowns, they are generally humble gentlemen and moral models. They are all objects of worship that the villagers look up to.
And Yimen itself is naturally the object of worship and protection of the villagers - under the oppression of the "Hemai" system. The tenants who become righteous men can at least live, otherwise they can only watch the income of a year's labor be exchanged by the officials with waste paper! As for the year of major disasters and small disasters, in most areas of the south of the Yangtze River, the only thing that the poor and middle peasants could count on was the righteous family of these poetic heirlooms.
Therefore, the tenants here in Duqiao do not hate the Yimen Du family, but are very grateful to the Du family for their protection over the years, as if without the Du family, they can't live at all...... In a way, this is also true!
And...... The folk customs of the Song Dynasty were obviously more simple than those of the Republic of China, and the matter of knowing and repaying kindness was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The tenants have been favored by the Yimendu family in the past, so how can they be embarrassed to take the Yimendu family property now?
Can such ingratitude still be considered a human being? There are gods in the head, and if you do this, the gods will not spare you!
Therefore, when Kong Jin's shouting ended for a long time, the scene was still silent.
Now it's time to divide the land, but the peasants don't want it!
It seems that fighting the landlord or something, let alone thinking about it.
The sergeants present were also a little confused. Although they didn't understand Zhejiang, they also knew what Kong Jin was talking about. Four or five thousand pieces of land! No one wants ...... Aren't the people of Jiangnan stupid?
Chen Dexing's soldiers were either Huai or Beiren, and the Yimen there had long since collapsed in the process of foreign invasion - these Yimen were not bad at telling the truth, but they were not armed with force. This is actually the result of the deliberate guidance of the Emperor of the Zhao family. If the imperial examination could encourage the children of the righteous sect to be both civil and military, how could the Zhao and Song dynasties have today?
The soldiers all set their eyes on Kong Jin, and they all wanted to see what tricks the old leader party had.
Of course, there is a way to get in! Although he is not a righteous sect like the Southern Sect of the Kong Clan. But he was born in a family of officials, and his father worked as a prisoner in Xi'an County, below Quzhou. If he hadn't wanted high school. The son has long inherited his father's business and gone to be a servant. Who is not the child of this kind of family of officials who is not old enough for accidents?
The tenants of Du Qiao refused to ask for the Du family's land. It had long been expected by him. Changed to Xi'an County, Quzhou, no one was willing to ask for Kong's Nanzong's field, but Kong Jin still had a way.
"Folks, this official knows that you and the Du Papi family are fellow villagers, and they are embarrassed to take their fields."
Kong Jin waved his hand vigorously and said with a smile: "This is easy to do, Duqiao's folks, you can take the fields of Ninghai and the fields of the rooftop...... You don't know Ye Mengding and Jia Yidao, and you haven't received their favors in the future, can you take this field with peace of mind? β
This seems to be possible! The poor middle peasants in Linhai went to take the land in Ninghai, the poor middle peasants in Ninghai went to take the land in Tiantai, and the poor middle peasants in Tiantai went to take the land in Huangyan...... If you take this land, you will not have a good conscience!
"Kong Guanren! Do you think I can be a military household? β
Someone has already stood up, Du Yin turned his head to look, it turned out to be a ploppy Li in Duqiao Town, lazy to eat, gamble and prostitute indiscriminately, and like guns and sticks since childhood, practiced some kung fu, and also entangled a group of rotten people who were similar to him to do some things like stealing chickens and dogs in Duqiao Town. For this reason, he was not less taught by Du Yin, but the things he committed were not a big evil, and he was let go after a lesson, and then he was taught repeatedly. This time, the Du family held a group training, so they recruited him and his brothers, thinking that they could use their "bravery", but now it seems that it is useless......
A sergeant in steel armor strode up to Popi Li, carried him out as if he had caught a chicken, threw him in front of Kong Jin, and took a closer look, and saw that he had many tattoos with complex patterns on his body, and his complexion was also fair, and he touched his palm, but did not find many calluses. He shook his head and said in a rough voice: "A ruffian, you can't go to the battlefield, you can't endure great hardship, it's useless!" β
It is common sense not to recruit ruffians, this kind of person is too slippery, and he can't be relied on on the battlefield at all, and only a nerd like Du Yin believes that he can rely on the bravery of the ruffian to fight.
"It's okay!" Kong Jin smiled, "Keep it, it's okay to be a lackey!" This kind of ruffian is the most suitable for being a dog. As he spoke, he sneered and said to Splash Li, "The old man is not Du Papi, if you dare to cheat and play tricks under the old man, the old man will not pull out your skin, he will take your field with a piece of paper, and then exile you to the Heishui River in northern Liaobei to be with the Tartars!" β
Hearing "Liaobei" and "Tartar", Pi Li was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Kong Jin is like pounding garlic, and said with a flattering face: "The little ones don't dare, the little ones listen to the officials!" β
Kong Jin didn't look at him eitherβof course Old Man Kong knew that this hundred acres of land was not easy to take! The military household is not a scholar and noble, and it is not even as good as the Long March soldiers in the north (in fact, it is similar to the military household, and it is also a soldier to change land), four or five thousand pieces of land is "life money", and their lives are sold to the War Department, and it is hell to have a good life in the future.
"Is there anyone else? A hundred acres of land, how can it be worth 4,000 yuan in Taizhou? You tenants will not be able to save for ten lifetimes! β
Kong Jin said in seductive words: "With this hundred acres of land, you are a master with land and soil, you can live in a tiled house, those who have a grandmother can let the old people eat and use it well, and those who do not have a mother-in-law can marry a house...... How good is it to have children and pass on the family lineage? β
"Count me in!" This time it was a black man who stood up, short and stocky, but he looked like a military man.
Du Yin frowned, he also knew this man, his surname was Lai, and he was called Lai Toad - not because he was ugly, but because he somehow became obsessed with a young lady of the Du family! A fairy-like young lady is what a farmer like him dares to think?
Well, just think about it...... Du Yin also thought about Zhao Lin'er! But this not only wanted to, but also went to confess to Miss Du's family, saying that he wanted to make meritorious contributions to the army, and he would come back to marry her when he became a big official. Miss Du Jia...... It's funny, and I said it as a joke to my sisters (the young lady of the scholarly door in the Southern Song Dynasty is not the master who doesn't step out of the door, doesn't go out of the second door, and wants to die when she sees a strange man). As a result, this black man got the nickname of the toad - the toad wants to eat swan meat.
"This one can be!" Lai Toad was also captured by a sergeant soldier and examined it, "He is a man who can endure hardships!" β
"That's right! Right! I'm not afraid of hardship! Lai Toad said loudly. He thought to himself, "As long as you can marry Sister Du Thirteen, what's the point of enduring some hardship?" β
"Okay, okay!" Kong Jin looked at this black man, with a kind smile on his face, but he thought in his heart: "The Ming Dynasty lacks everything, but it is not lacking in hardships...... Northern Liao, Mongolia, Western Regions, Southern Fan, and what other Mingzhou...... Don't have too many bitter cold places! If you're not afraid, then wait and eat slowly, you won't be able to finish it for a lifetime! β
"Is there anyone else who is not afraid of hardship?" Kong Jin asked loudly.
"I'm not afraid of hardship!"
"It's just me!"
"I want to work for Sage Chen......"
With two people taking the lead, this person's heart immediately came to life, and many people stood up. After all, it is an opportunity to "take" four or five thousand pieces of property for nothing! And Chen Dexing is now two out of three in the world, not a thief, there seems to be nothing wrong with taking land from him, as long as you don't take the land of the Du family.
As for what kind of price will be paid for taking Chen Dexing's land, I can't think about it......
"The Du family is really finished, and Jiangnan is also finished!" Du Yin is completely desperate, and the people who stand up now are all Du family's regimental training! Just a hundred acres of fertile land, I bought them. By analogy, as long as Chen Dexing receives the land of Jiangnan Yimen, he can buy millions of people, and with these million Jiangnan soldiers, how can Jiangnan still resist!
"It's over! It's all over! Du Yin suddenly stood up like crazy at this time, cried three times, and then said with a sad and angry face, "I am Du Yin, the ten talents of the Du family in Taizhou!" Today, I am going to die here in the Great Song Dynasty......" (to be continued......
