Throughout the ages, the image of the peasants living at the bottom has basically not changed much.

It's been the same for thousands of years.

Only in the big cities, and those high-ranking officials and nobles have changed greatly. As dynasties change, they will be affected accordingly. Costumes, hairstyles......

And the common people have worn the same clothes for thousands of years, short and coarse linen.

Those who don't have enough food and clothing in life can't be poor and pay attention to it at all.

If an ancient peasant suddenly appears in front of people, I believe that no one can tell whether he is a peasant of the Song Dynasty or a peasant of the Tang Dynasty, even experts can't do it.

The ancient peasants, even the records of their clothing, were written by those who read books, and the reference value is not high.

Zhang Zeduan's "Qingming Riverside Picture" depicts the prosperous Bianjing. There were a lot of craftsmen, peasants in it. But those peasants were not ordinary peasants, but peasants near Bianjing.

How can the peasants at the bottom have the opportunity to enter the capital casually?

There are almost no true records of the peasants in ancient times that can truly restore their historical books.

Because the peasants at that time were illiterate at all.

Even if there is an image of a peasant in the history books, it is what they want the world to know, the image of a peasant. In the eyes of the ancient feudal nobles and emperors, the people at the bottom were their livestock, people and mines, and they were not worthy of their records at all.

An ancient history is the history of the aristocracy.

It has nothing to do with the people.

The houses in the village are also much backward compared to Lujia Village, which is simply incomparable.

The houses are basically thatched houses, and some wooden structures are dilapidated.

The houses in Lujia Village are all brick houses, with red walls and white tiles, and the gap is clear at a glance. The villagers of Lujia Village also know this, and their good life is all brought to them by Qin Yu.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang's policy of benefiting the people has been implemented for a period of time.

But it is simply unrealistic to let all the people live a well-off life.

Because the time is too short.

Now that they can live without worrying about food and clothing, their lives are already countless times better than before.

In the past, they often starved to death.

If you want to repair the house, Chenjiazhuang estimates that you will have to wait for several years.

"The three of you are going to the market, right?" Before the three of them could speak, the villagers of Chenjiazhuang put down their hoes and asked.

"Yes." Lu Dayou said, "We are villagers in Lujia Village, and after walking the mountain road for three days and three nights, we are running out of dry food and water. I deliberately came down and wanted to exchange some food and water with the villagers in Chenjiazhuang. ”

He brought out two pheasants: "This is what we just called from the mountains." ”

"Everyone is a villager, what do you say?" The villager surnamed Chen said, "It's not easy for us villagers in remote villages to go to the market, so we should help each other." ”

"Come with me, three, it's almost lunch anyway."

After speaking, he picked up the hoe and walked into the village with the three of them.

On the way, many children in the village were watched, and everyone was more curious about outsiders, after all, it was not very often.

Through conversation, I learned that the old man's name is Chen Qier, and he is over 60 years old this year.

I saw that the children in the village were all dressed in shabby clothes, but their eyes were clear. There is no school in the village, and Qin Yu wants to stop talking. Originally, I wanted to say that they should also come to Lujiacun Primary School to go to school.

】

But when he thought that the two villages were so far apart, that the mountain road was still difficult to walk, and that there were wild beasts on the road, he did not say anything.

If children are in danger on their way to school, it hurts them.

……

"Daddy Chen, is the life of Chenjiazhuang so difficult?" Qin Yu couldn't help but ask.

"Difficult?" Chen Qier's eyes widened, "We have a good life now, we don't have to worry about food or clothing." Although everyone was wearing shabby clothes with patches and patches, at least they could wear warm clothes. ”

"I can't eat rice every day, but at least I won't be hungry."

"You must know that our Chenjiazhuang, like other villages, will starve to death and freeze to death in disaster years."

Alas! Qin Yu sighed when he heard this, not only Lujia Village, this area is very poor.

The road of teaching is a long way to go!

"Our life is more than ten times better than before." Chen Qier continued, "This is thanks to the emperor's love for the people, the abolition of the poll tax, the farmland tax, and the ...... of apportionment into the mu."

"The emperor really loves the people, he was born as a farmer, and he is our own people."

"In all dynasties, there has never been such a love for the people as the emperor today."

……

"Wait! You just said that the current emperor? Qin Yu was dumbfounded, "In this place, there is still an emperor?" ”

Because he was too surprised, he didn't hear Chen Qier's words at all.

"How fresh?" Chen Qier said, "The country can't be without a king for a day, and the family can't be without an owner for a day, such a simple truth, we farmers understand, you don't know it yet?" ”

"You mean the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?" Qin Yu didn't give up and continued to ask.

"Of course." Chen Qier said, "It's the Ming Dynasty now." ”

"Have you seen the Emperor then?" Qin Yu asked.

"How can we meet the emperor with a small people?" Chen Qier said.

"Whew!"

Qin Yu let out a long breath.

I thought that this group of remnants of the Ming Dynasty was probably just hearsay to their emperor.

It would be terrible if he really saw the living emperor.

And he said that the emperor engaged in a policy of apportioning the land into the mu, which is a bit outrageous.

Wasn't it only implemented during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty?

He said that the Ming Dynasty began to implement the practice of apportioning into acres, which is not in line with historical facts.

The Ming Dynasty did implement a change similar to the method of spreading the ding into the mu, that is, a whip law implemented by Zhang Juzheng during the Wanli period.

That's not a paving of acres.

It can be seen that this group of people is just a remnant of the Ming Dynasty.

However, who is the one who gives them the altogether?

Could it be that he is the 'chief' of this tribe?

He was right when he said that a country should not be without a king for a day, and a family should not be without an owner for a day.

Cannibal tribes had chiefs, as did primitive tribes that cultivated slash-and-burn. Since this remote area is isolated from the rest of the world, there must be its leader. According to the thousand-year-old feudal imperial system, everyone here revered him as emperor.

In other words, maybe they really have an 'emperor' here!

It's just that it manages a few surrounding villages, or a place the size of a county.

Thinking of this, Qin Yu couldn't help but think of how many rural buddies had been called emperors before, not only established the national title but also divided the queen's civil and military officials, but as a result, there were only a few peasants under his command.

Before he could raise the army, he was arrested by his uncle, and then several villagers obediently went home to farm.

This emperor brother is a little out of step with the times!

Qin Yu thought in his heart, now that it's the 21st century outside, are you still doing it here?
