Inside the palace of Prince Yin

A subordinate looked solemn at the moment, walked in a hurry, and looked around every ten steps.

When you see no one, you will speed up, and there is a kitchen in front of you.

A casserole was placed on top of the burning stove, and a fresh fragrance overflowed from all sides of the lid.

The servant came to the kitchen, stared at the casserole, opened the lid, took out a packet of white powder from his bosom and poured it into it.

Then stir with chopsticks until there is no abnormality, and then wipe the chopsticks on the top of the clothes and put them back in the same way.

After all this was done, he looked outside and saw that no one was leaving here quickly.

After the subordinate left, a subordinate walked in from the side and poured out all the decoction in the casserole.

Then I put the clean herbs and meat in another casserole, and added some firewood to the stove to increase the flame.

Place the casserole on top of the stove and the problematic casserole in a hidden corner.

Doing all this, I left the kitchen.

"Where have you been, no one has replied to you after calling you several times just now"

Seeing the subordinate come back, the subordinate of another middle-aged woman muttered.

"I had an upset stomach just now, and I went to a thatched house, is there anything wrong?"

The subordinate looked stunned, and then said with a smile.

"The clothes are too heavy, I can't do it alone, I need a handle"

The subordinates are a little dissatisfied, obviously it is a two-person job, how can they be lazy?

"Okay, I'll come now, you wait for me"

The servant walked towards the room, came to his bed, and quietly placed the medicine bag under it by arranging the quilt and mattress.

After seeing that there was nothing unusual, he came outside and said with a smile, "Let's go."

After the next person left, a figure crept in.

When I came to a bed, I looked over the pillow, and my slender fingers kept stroking under the mattress.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he lifted the corner of the mattress and bent down to look at it.

After a pause, he saw a medicine bag here, and then carefully opened the medicine bag and sniffed it, but there was no smell.

Pick up some white powder and put it on top of the handkerchief, then refold the bag and put it back.

Seeing that everything looked the same as when he came, the man left here.

I walked all the way to the study and opened the handkerchief, although I don't know what it is, it is probably not a good thing.

Nine times out of ten, it is not good for the body, and when I see that the next person puts a little at a time, it is estimated that it is a chronic poison.

His eyes flickered, his face was panicked, and he just turned around and wanted to take it outside and let the pharmacy owner inspect it.

But when she thought that Yun Xuan was not allowed to leave the palace, she became entangled for a while.

Sighing, he put the handkerchief in his arms, intending to wait for him to return.

The long-lost sun hangs in the sky, radiating a warm ray.

Although the sun is not warm in the face of the cold wind, at least the sun will appear, and the mood will be good.

No one likes gray weather, like heavy physical work, which makes people depressed and unhappy.

"When will you have to pay taxes as a beggar, why haven't we heard of it"

"That's right, we've been asking for food for so many years, and I've never heard of it"

"If you don't want money, you want to die"

The five beggars gathered together, and their originally timid eyes became angry at this moment, roaring like thunder.

"Just because we didn't have it before doesn't mean we won't have it in the future. According to your lordship's order, from this day on, if you want to beg in the capital, you must pay the beggar's tax, otherwise you will be expelled."

In the face of the beggar's angry rebuke, the soldiers, although displeased, did not dare to do anything.

The two government soldiers who started beating beggars before have already gotten out.

When people reach middle age, what they seek is a stable job.

Don't look at the job of the government soldiers, there is no oil and water, but it is also a serious organization, if you have a flexible brain.

You can also get a lot of silver in a year, although you can't make a fortune, but your life is nourishing.

"I think you are just targeting us, sooner rather than later, why are you here today?"

"That is, did Prince Yin say it, the purpose is to drive us away, so that what he said will come true, and we are not convinced"

"Two taels of silver a month, if we have so much silver, what kind of beggar will we be?"

"Bold, a group of lowly things, dare to criticize the prince behind their backs, don't you want to die?"

"I, I ......"

was roared by the government soldiers, and the beggar looked panicked and frightened, and he couldn't even speak.

"Come and see, these people are bullying, we are begging here, and they actually came to collect beggars' taxes, isn't this driving us to a dead end"?

"That is, please make decisions for us, we just want to eat"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the beggar said loudly, hoping to get help from these people.

With the sympathy of the people, they can continue to stay here and beg without paying taxes.

And that's what they thought at the beginning, but they didn't expect the people to think of them so badly.

They didn't know what to say for a while, so they had to squat in the corner to see if there were any kind-hearted people.

But as a result, they didn't expect two government soldiers to come here and ask them to pay beggars' taxes, which gave them hope.

An opportunity to win the tears of the people.

"Something Happened"

"I'm not going to beat these beggars again."

"Probably not, I heard that the two government soldiers have been driven away last time, and now they are just ordinary people"

was yelled at by the beggar, and the surrounding people also stopped and watched.

"You ......"

Seeing this, the soldiers were furious and stretched out their hands to the beggars.

The government soldiers on one side stretched out their hands to stop them, so many people watched, if there was a dispute, they would not take care of it.

The people have never had a good impression of the people of the Yamen.

"I beg you to make decisions for us"

The beggar fell to his knees and wept.

"Something happened, if someone bullies you, we will definitely help you decide"

"That's it, absolutely don't let people come nonsense"

"Rise up and speak"

Looking at the humble and pitiful appearance of these beggars, the people turned into little messengers of justice.

"A few of us have been begging here, but these soldiers came to us and demanded that we pay the beggar's tax.

Two taels of silver a month, if we don't pay, drive us out of the capital, and don't allow us to stay here."

The beggar had tears in his eyes, and his voice was poignant.

"Beggar's tax, what is it"

"Two taels of silver a month, that's too much."

"I've never heard of beggars having to pay taxes"

"That's it, what's the difference between this and the last time they weren't allowed to beg?"

In the face of the people's doubts, the government soldiers looked at each other, and they had not read any books.

It's okay to scare people with a knife, but if you want to explain these problems perfectly, they can't.

"Two poor masters, I don't know what this beggar tax is all about, why we have never heard of it"

Someone asked.

Looking at the eager eyes of the people around them, they also want to know.

This can make the government soldiers stumped, and they don't know it, they just follow orders.

If it is not said well, it will be impossible to get off the stage at that time, and they will be the unlucky.

So I simply didn't talk about it.

Looking at the loss of the soldiers, a smile appeared on the sad faces of the five beggars.

Seeing that the soldiers bowed their heads and were silent, their faces were embarrassed, and the people knew in their hearts that these people were deliberately asking for trouble with beggars.

I don't have a good impression of them in my heart, why do I want to bully them when I am already so pitiful.

People are like this, they don't know the big things right and wrong, as long as they see the people of the yamen "bullying" people, especially those with low status and low status.

There will be anger, abuse and a hint of superiority in the heart, no matter what the truth is, it will be an accusation.

It seems that he is very powerful, he is warm-hearted, and he is a good person.

Just when the people's doubts were getting louder and louder, the silence of the government soldiers was getting longer and longer, and the laughter in the hearts of the beggars was getting louder and louder.

A figure walked over, and when the soldiers saw this, a light shone from their gray eyes and became brighter.

He shook his hands and said, "I've seen the master."

"Something Happened"

The master said with a smile.

The reason why he came was that Fu Yin was worried that these beggars would make trouble when they heard that they had to pay taxes; The soldier's head is not bright, and if there is a conflict, he will be unlucky.

As it turned out, this time he was smart once.

"These beggars are already pitiful, why should they pay beggars' taxes"

"That is, we have never heard of the beggar tax, two taels of silver a month, isn't this forcing these beggars to death?"

Seeing the master coming, the people asked loudly.

Hearing this, the master raised his hand to comfort everyone, and still smiled and said: "I know that everyone is kind-hearted, and when they see these beggars pitiful, they will hold them for their grievances."

As for the question of this beggar tax, it was true that it was not there before, and the reason why it is there now is is to protect everyone and protect the people of the national capital."

When they heard this, the people were blindfolded, and what did it mean to protect them?

It's obviously bullying beggars, why did he turn around and run to them.

"Master, how does this beggar tax have anything to do with us?"

"That is, we live well, what protection do we want......"?

"Everyone, be quiet, I'll explain it to you"

Hearing the master's words, the people quieted down and saw what he could say.

"In the old days, these beggars, the homeless, could go into the capital at will, gather together, and live by begging every day.

No one cares about them, so as long as they don't make trouble; But now it is different, the kind, benevolent and caring Prince Yin does not want to see them starving and cold, living a miserable life without clothes and food. So I racked my brains and worked hard to finally think of a solution.

Teach these beggars that they can eat with their own hands and stop begging.

This is also what Prince Yin said in front of the people before, not allowing a beggar or a homeless man to appear in the national capital. ”

"It's true, you used to see beggars a few steps away, but now I haven't seen a beggar for a long time."

"Prince Yin is really a good person, not only teaching these beggars the trades, but also finding them jobs and giving them houses to live in"

"Yes, I've heard that those who reclaim the wasteland have three meals a day and a few dollars a month"

…………

Hearing what these people said, the master's eyes narrowed, like two eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth curved.

"It is precisely because of the selfless dedication of Prince Yin and the warm-heartedness of Gudao that there will never be beggars in the national capital from now on.

But have you ever thought about it?

If beggars from other places learn of this news and come to the capital in droves, what will we do then?

What if they riot, smash and loot, and threaten your lives.

Besides, when the time comes, if the court grits its its teeth and stoms its feet, it takes a lot of effort and a lot of silver to deal with these beggars.

We had to find jobs for them and places to live, and there were only 200 beggars in the capital before, and it was very difficult for us to solve them.

With so much influx at once, it will be even more difficult for you to have a job to do and make money.

Now there are two dollars a month, and now there will be only consistent money, and now everyone can support their families.

Then your work will be replaced by these beggars, and you will become beggars.

Do you want to see your children have no money to go to school? Do you want to see that there is no food to eat at home? ”

I have to say that the master's very exaggerated words made these onlookers ponder, and their faces were full of solemnity.

There's nothing wrong with helping others, but it's not okay if you sacrifice your own family.

"Master is right, if we don't restrain the beggars from outside, we won't have anything to eat at that time."

"How can that work? Our lives are dry, and if they come, we might have to carry a bowl or something else."

"That's not going to work, I still have a big family to feed ......"

The people were frightened, and they were terrified when they thought of the picture of the family hungry at that time.

When the food crisis suddenly came to my mind, I almost starved to death on the ground.

People, they are all like this, as long as they don't care about themselves, then they are saints who bow down, but as long as things threaten their own interests, then they are like evil spirits possessing their bodies, and they will never die.

The beggars panicked and wanted the people to speak for them, but now the people were on their side.

They all approve of the beggar's tax, and they want to oppose it, but they don't know how.

Looking at these flustered beggars on the ground, the master smiled coldly, it was really wishful thinking to use the people as a shield without reading a book.

Seeing that the people began to waver, the master continued: "I know that everyone is an honest person, a good person, and sympathizes with these beggars.

But last time these beggars made a mistake and went to the western suburbs to reclaim the wasteland, and here they are.

What's wrong with this, I don't think you all know it."

"These beggars are sloppy and lazy, and many times before the soldiers have dragged them to work, and they have all played dead. It's a shame to be kicked out now, and to kneel on the ground to gain sympathy."

"That is, if everyone is on their knees and becomes a beggar, then who will want to grow food and work hard?"

"That's right, a beggars' tax should be implemented so that those beggars don't come to the capital and leave us without food."

"Support the beggars tax, support the beggars tax"

…………

"Everyone be quiet, and it is with this in mind that the adults have instituted a beggar tax. It is to prevent people from being lazy and lazy, so that those who work hard will not have food to eat and cannot support their families. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the beggars: "Prince Yin has given you beggars enough to eat, have money, and have a clean house to live in."

I don't know how many people envy you, but you are lazy and don't suffer at all, just thinking about getting something for nothing.

How can there be such a good thing in the world, give you two days, either don't be a beggar, or leave the capital"

Soon, the wave was ruthlessly extinguished, and the surrounding people not only did not sympathize at the moment, but also had a trace of resentment.

They were scolding them for deserving it.

When the beggars saw this, their faces were sad, and they slipped away from the streets, hiding in their nests and licking their wounds.

Soon, time passed, night fell, and the land fell silent.

A good day for Yun Xuan has also come.

"Lighten up...... Painful"

"Have you cultivated to the top of the realm?"

"Husband, in fact, I'm okay, I can still persevere, just ...... dawn"
