Chapter 7 With the second brother here, you should be the king of Jingbian obediently
"The location we are in now should be the outer city northwest of Yangzhou, so we can see these farmlands. The situation in the city may be better, but it will not be much better......"
Zhu Biao didn't wait for his father to go far, and began to explain, with deep compassion in his tone.
"The old five always told me, 'Wrap your waist around 100,000 yuan, ride a crane to Yangzhou', the former flowering resort, will become this tragic situation, most of it is because of the brutality of the Yuan Court."
Zhu Di swallowed his saliva again and again, and when he regained his strength, he still felt incomprehensible: "Yangzhou has always been the land of fish and rice, no matter which dynasty, it belongs to the existence of the rich one. How did the Yuan people toss it to make it like this? ”
"Yes! Boss ......"
The other royal brothers also came up one after another, looking shocked and scared, and eager to hear it.
In fact, they don't necessarily want to listen to Zhu Biao talk about this, but they are more afraid that they will turn their heads and their father will take the school exam, and if they can't say why, they will be smoked again.
Zhu Biao shook his head with a wry smile, wanting to hear the second child talk about it, but he was surprised to see Zhu Yan turn over and dismount, squatting down regardless of his identity, and he wanted to bury the skeleton directly with his hands.
But he didn't stop it, only after being stunned, he retracted his gaze and said slowly: "There are many reasons for this!" First, it is a series of military disasters that have caused the people to abandon the ......"
"Second, that's exactly what you said. Yangzhou is too rich! The Yuan people want supplies for wars, so they naturally want to catch this fat sheep and work hard. Therefore, every time you pass Yangzhou, you must not leave chickens and dogs! ”
Hearing the boss's words, Zhu Yan couldn't help laughing. He thought to himself, how could the crown prince Zhu Biao, who could say such a witty thing as "wool picking" to the emperor's brothers, be the kind of weak person in the eyes of later generations.
Erecting a small mound for the bones, Zhu Yan continued the topic of the boss: "Third, from the beginning of the Zheng Dynasty, Yangzhou couldn't stand the Yuan Court's wool gathering like this, and went into exile one after another. Even if there is land, no one dares to plant it, no one is willing to plant it! ”
"That's not right, isn't it? Second brother. ”
Zhu Fan didn't dare to agree at the moment and said: "As a farmer, how can you have land and dare not plant?" My father used to tell us about when he was a child. It has been said that every time spring ploughing, even if the people in the village know that they will die of illness the next day, they still have to work in the fields today. ”
"Is it harsh?!" Zhu Di thought for a while, his eyes immediately lit up, and he looked at the second brother expectantly.
Zhu Yan raised his head and smiled appreciatively at the old five: "I can think of it as a harsh government." Prove what Mrs. Song said, you still have the ultimateness to learn! But you don't understand the specific names of these harsh policies, do you? ”
Zhu Di immediately nodded seriously.
In such a shocking situation, he also felt sad and lamentable.
"Want to find out?"
When the fourth Zhu Li heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. He was only ten years old, and he was relatively frivolous.
"Second brother! Don't you like to laugh? I don't want to listen to my eldest brother explain to you, what are we doing standing here for most of the day? ”
Zhu Yan's expression immediately became serious: "If you want to listen, then help collect and bury all the bones you see at your feet, right?" ”
"This! No way? Zhu Fan and Zhu Li, two teenagers about ten years old, suddenly changed their faces, shrunk their necks in fear, and stepped back. Second brother! Don't laugh, we don't have to. ”
Zhu Di also felt that the second brother was a little difficult, but after a little hesitation, his eyes swept away, and he still bent down and carefully picked up the bones.
"I think! The second brother must have a reason for doing this. ”
"It doesn't make sense. Second brother, I'm just asking for peace of mind......"
As a young man who has been educated by the civilization of the new era, Zhu Yan really can't accept the fact that "there are dry bones on the road and no one asks".
He also had a bad taste and said: "If you step on the bones of your subjects, you will have nightmares at night!" ”
Zhu Di's hands shook when he boarded, and he almost didn't smash the bones to the ground, he was trying to calm himself when he learned from Zhu Yan to clean up the bones.
After a while, seeing Zhu Yan smiling at the corner of his mouth, Zhu Di realized that the second brother was deliberately scaring himself.
But he didn't dare to talk back, so he could only stubbornly clean up the bones again and sulk at himself.
In addition to his father and mother, Zhu Di only respects and fears his eldest brother and second brother, especially the second brother Zhu Yan.
He imagined more than once that he could be like his second brother, wearing shining armor at the age of twelve, and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, instead of being stuffed in the red wall all day.
Father said! There is no immortality in war...... I had to get over the fear of these bones first!
Zhu Yan didn't pay attention to how much the mentality of the fifth child had changed, and continued to bury his head in cleaning up the bones he could see.
At the same time, a thought began to swirl in his mind.
Zhu Di! Boy, eh. With the second brother here, you can be the king of Jingbian obediently......
Zhu Fan and Zhu Li were also stunned by their second brother, but even if they came to their senses, they never had the courage to assist the second brother in cleaning up the bones.
Not only that, but they also quickly found an excuse and urged: "Second brother! You haven't told us yet, how much harsh government did the Yuan court do? ”
"Why are you talking so carefully? You can't understand it now. Zhu Yan said angrily.
However, when he saw that the two of them and Zhu Di were a little bit of a relative, he knew that he couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the imperial brothers.
The most important thing is that not only the boss Zhu Biao, Lu Chang, but also Yang Xian is also looking forward to Zhu Yan to talk more.
Especially Yang Xian, who is secretly showing disdain, is clearly expressing his ......
Zhu Yan! You and your son Zhu Chongba are born in a rough army, how much can you understand about people's livelihood and economy.
Yang Xian's guy is taller than his god stick teacher in his bones, and he still looks down on himself, the master of the Zhu family......
Zhu Yan thinks so.
Otherwise, in history, during the three years that the prefect of Yangzhou was in office, Yang Xian would not think that he could deceive Emperor Hongwu, and did everything to create his own political achievements.
Intensify the implementation of harsh policies......
Face-building projects on farmland......
There is no room for any objections from subordinates......
Thinking of this, Zhu Yan chuckled and said, "You really want to know, the second brother can also tell you about it very vividly." ”
"For example, if you plant a seedling in your farmland, the Yuan Court will be able to impose all kinds of taxes on your head. How many people farmed the land tax, the mu tax, the autumn harvest tax, the labor tax, the cattle tax, the utensils tax ......"
"Fifty years from now, your grandchildren! In this way, do you dare to farm? Kind of. Pay your taxes and pay you to death! Not a species. And even more punishment! Do you think you can just run away? ”
Zhu Yan snorted coldly, swept towards Yang Xian and said, "What's more! The land in the south of the Yangtze River is fertile, and the Yuan army encircled it as a racecourse, and did not let you plant rice, but planted alfalfa and artemisia grass instead. If you resist the decree, kill people and bury them in the ground to make fertilizer......"
"This is not counting the four hours and three festivals of the year, the birthdays of Emperor Yuan, Empress Yuan, Queen Mother and concubines, and then there will be additional taxes. May I ask the emperor, do you dare to stay in Yangzhou? ”
