Chapter 208: Stone
When the little boy heard Masa's words, his eyes were fixed on Masa, as if trying to remember when he had met the stranger in front of him. From the words of the other party, it can be determined that the other party is coming for himself this time.
"What? Haven't remembered yet? We met just now," Masahiro said lightly.
"Huh?" After being reminded by Masaliang, the little boy remembered it at once.
After Zhengliang said what he just said, the sailor of Wang Hai had already rolled up his sleeves, ready to teach the child in front of him a lesson after Zhengliang's order. This child's current situation is indeed pitiful, but the money he earned back with his life is also very precious. The thought of being touched to the money bag made the sailor's anger rise one after another.
"Please have mercy on us, and give us a way to live," the little boy suddenly knelt down and whispered for mercy. He had already fully recognized these people, the same adults who had just teamed up with those friends to steal. Now the owner has come to the door, and the purpose is self-evident.
Everyone was stunned by the boy's sudden action, and even the sailor lost his mind for a moment. In fact, after hearing the family conversation between the two siblings just now, Zhengliang has decided not to pursue them for stealing money. Anyway, hundreds of taels of silver were seized from the thief's cottage, and now there are more than ten taels of silver in the package that Ming Fengxiu is keeping, which is completely enough. As for the loss of Liu Le and the sailor, it would be completely fine to send one or two pieces of silver each.
And why did the little boy suddenly beg for mercy? The main thing is that he saw from Zhengliang's actions that these people did not have malicious intent, if his sister was cured because of taking Zhengliang's miracle medicine, then these people in front of him were even benefactors. Since encountering changes in his family, in order to survive, he can be said to have seen through all kinds of life, and has also practiced some skills to survive, especially the ability to observe words and colors. Of course, if it is found that Zhengliang and others have malicious intentions, he is also ready to die and break the net.
"Huh. Tell me, how can we spare your life? Masarashi said with a smile.
"If only an adult could heal a little sister. I would like to be a slave to adults in this life," the little boy heard from Masaara's words just now that he might be able to save the life of their two siblings, so he hurriedly begged. For them at this moment, being able to become someone else's slave is already the best choice. Otherwise, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the two siblings to survive this winter. At the same time, he also kept an eye on himself, that is, he was the only slave, not his sister.
How shrewd is Zhengliang. I couldn't hear the meaning of the little boy's words, but he didn't debunk it, but continued, "Oh? Serve me? So, what can you do for me? ”。
"I... I—" The little boy was stopped by Masaara's question. Oh, yes. What can a teenage child do? It is precisely because he is useless that his sister is sick and unable to do anything, and she can't even pay for the medicine.
"I'm the boss here, I can go and steal money," the little boy said in desperation, "I... I can also warm the bed for the adults. "The little boy is talking about masculinity. During this period of the Ming Dynasty, in the homes of some dignitaries. It is also prevalent in men's style. We know the truth. Although Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, advocated prostitution at first, he absolutely forbade officials to participate. He once issued an edict: "Whoever prostitutes, sixty rods, and one less degree for matchmaking, and the same is true for those who live with prostitutes." "After Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, the official prostitutes were eliminated. The ban was stricter, regardless of whether it was an official or a scholar. Whoever has a prostitute, or who commits a little wickedness. At least it will be degraded, and at worst, it will be reformed and never hired. This blocked the way for officials to visit brothels and prostitute prostitutes. So, some people started playing gay. To what extent was the male style of the Ming Dynasty prevalent? According to Xu Chong's "Nuan Shu by the Pen": "At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the ministers were the most favored, and they all chose young and handsome ministers to be the young and handsome ministers. At this time, male homosexuality had formed a social ethos, and the sexual concept and orientation of the whole society had changed. …,
And the little boy who used to beg everywhere once almost became someone else's "female prostitute", if it weren't for a little cleverness, it is estimated that he would have been confined in a high-walled compound and reduced to someone else's plaything. Therefore, he knows that there is such a thing as the Tao of the Devil. Now in a hurry, he suddenly said such a sentence.
Before Zhengliang could react, Liu Le on the side laughed first. It is indeed very funny that such a strange thing came out of the mouth of a little boy. Even the sailor giggled. The only exception is Ming Feng Xiuzheng, who can't understand Chinese.
Seeing everyone's expressions, the little boy's face turned red and red.
"Hehe, what's your name?" Instead of continuing with the little boy's question, Masarashi asked for his name.
"Stone," the little boy replied.
"Well, stones. I officially accept you as my little surname, as long as you do your job," Zhengliang nodded and said.
"Huh?" The little boy exclaimed, apparently not expecting Masato to agree to accept him as a servant so readily (although he didn't understand what kind of position 'Xiao Surname' was, he just regarded it as a servant's position). His expression was full of disbelief.
"That's... What about my—" The little boy turned to look at his sleeping sister and looked down.
"Come with me," Masarashi said.
Why did Zhengliang take these two siblings in? It's mostly about his immigration plans. After a day of careful consideration, the politician decided that his plan was feasible.
First of all, the place where you have your roots, Japan. In fact, Japan is still vast and sparsely populated, due to backward agricultural technology, and Japan has more mountains and forests, so limited by the problem of low land utilization, the population is not too much, as far as the current population of Masashi's current territory is concerned, that is, the population is too small, resulting in a shortage of soldiers, and also greatly limiting the progress of land reclamation.
But it is not a simple matter to increase the population in large numbers, after all, there are so many people in the surrounding territories, and even if they are forcibly plundered, the increase in the number of people is limited; In addition, the limited degree of land development and the low yield of land have led to food shortages and limited population development.
But now it's different, since seeing these homeless people and orphans, Masahiro has a new idea. Yes, immigration. Since the Ming Dynasty cannot provide a foothold for these displaced people and orphans who have lost their roots, then it is up to me Luo Zhengliang to provide it. In this way, it can not only help these helpless people, reduce social contradictions in some areas of the Ming Dynasty, but also increase the population of their own territory, why not?
