Shi Min is a person who can't be idle, rests for a while in the county office, takes a nap, then changes into a regular suit, and goes out for a private visit with Mulan, Chen Changsheng and Evil Lai.

Daliang City is prosperous in the end, on the street, the shouting is endless, the pedestrians come and go one after another, the buildings on both sides are lined up, and all kinds of items are displayed.

On the market, horses, mink furs, fox furs, animal skins, etc. in the north, tea, rhinoceros horn, agate, etc. in the south, as well as brocade silk in Shudi, these things are everything, only you can't think of them, anyway, these commodities are dazzling, and you can buy them if you have money!

"Big ...... Childe, in my opinion, the prosperity of this beam is not inferior to Yecheng at all! Mulan was full of emotion.

Shi Min smiled: "This is not surprising. Daliang is a famous city in the north, although it has declined, but the heritage is still there, here is the place where merchants from all over the world meet, the transportation is convenient, the water network is dense, so the business is developed. Daliang was the capital of Wei during the Warring States Period, and when Daliang was the most beautiful, Yecheng, the current capital of our Zhao State, was still a border city. ”

"We have enough of the prosperity of this world. Let's go, and then I'll take you to see the places in the world where the sun can't shine. ”

Where the sun doesn't shine? Hua Mulan and the other three looked at each other, and they didn't understand what Shi Min meant by this, until they were taken out of the bustling downtown area, walked into an alley, and turned over the city wall, and then they understood the meaning of Shi Min's words.

It is also very lively here, but it is different from the bustle of the downtown area, different from the bustle of the market, which is a kind of bustle with a lot of pathos and a lot of sourness.

It's the same bazaar, but the vendors in this bazaar don't shout, and their items are nothing, they are living people!

"Childe, take a look, take a look. How cute is this girl? Although she lost a little weight, she didn't eat much, she worked hard, and you only had to pay three times to take her away! ”

When passing a stall, a vendor greeted him with a smile and promoted the girl next to him as if he were selling goods.

The girl was very young, but she looked like she was seven or eight years old, but she was dressed in simple clothes, with a dirty braid, and her toes were getting out of the broken shoes unconsciously. This girl is really pitiful, her body is thin, she is so hungry that she is only skinny and bones, and she seems to be abused a lot!

This kind of human trafficker will be shot in the future life, and even if it is outside, everyone will shout and beat it like a rat crossing the street. But in these troubled times, human life is as cheap as a dog, and it is not easy for ordinary people to eat a full meal every day.

And now there are still a lot of people in the slave market, and the government can't control it, and it won't meddle in things.

Shi Min glanced at the little girl, feeling unbearable, but after all, he didn't spend money to buy her.

The peddler thought that Shi Min didn't like this kind of skinny young girl, so he hurriedly introduced another twenty-eight-year-old girl beside him.

"Childe, look. This woman is a Qingzhou woman, born tall, fair-skinned, delicate, although she looks average, but it is definitely worth the money to buy it back! ”

Shi Min shook his head, and then walked out of this "slave market" with three generals in regular clothes.

Throughout the ages, whether it is the arrival of the emperor or the arrival of the Qincha, the officials below will always whitewash the peace and sing praises in order to meet the people above, and the superior is often blinded, which is why some Ming monarchs like to pay private interviews.

Honest inspections do not get any useful information, corrupt officials can still get away with it, and micro-service private visits can go deep into the people and truly understand the people's feelings.

The ancient emperor's micro-service private visit started with Emperor Liu Biao of the Han Dynasty, but this emperor's micro-service private visit was not to observe the people's suffering, but to find joy.

Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty often had a private visit with the Marquis of Fuping Zhang Fang's micro-service, on the way to his private visit to the micro-service, to Zhao Feiyan who was in the Qinglou, since he met Zhao Feiyan, a good Han Dynasty fell because of this, after all, she is a dancer, and the kung fu of seducing people is very good, and the fascinated Emperor Liu Biao of the Han Dynasty was stunned, as if she was in her way, first summoned her to the palace, and then was named Jieyu, and finally became the queen!

It is really precarious for a country to hand over a woman born like this.

Sure enough, when she ascended the queen's throne and lived a few comfortable days, the emperor died, Wang Mang began to make trouble, and Zhao Feiyan was deposed and committed suicide. Seeing this, I really sighed that it was not easy for an emperor to have a private visit to the micro-service, but he encountered such a calamity, it was really a failed micro-service private visit.

However, there are still many emperors' private visits to Weifu in history that have played a positive role, such as Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who was born in a poor family and has been a farmer for generations.

Due to poverty, Zhu Yuanzhang did not go to school since he was a child, and later because of the drought and plague in the village, he could only go to the monk's house.

As a result, the famine made Zhu Yuanzhang unable to even become a monk, so he had to become a beggar.

He begged and turned his fortune at the same time, and along the way he saw all the sufferings in the world and met all kinds of people, and this kind of life became the main reason for his private visit.

At that time, the people of the Yuan Dynasty were not happy, and Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the Yuan Dynasty with the support of the peasant masses when he was fighting the country, so this emperor knew the people's sufferings very well, after all, he had also suffered from it, and this person was suspicious, and always thought that the officials reported the people's feelings untruthfully, so he often paid private visits.

Shi Min inspected some slums, places where beggars lived on the streets, and slave markets, where the sun could not shine, and his mood was heavy, and he did not say a word all the way.

"Childe, where are we going next?"

Shi Min thought for a moment and said, "Let's go outside the city." We've already experienced the city, so it's good to go to the countryside. ”

When I came to the field path, I was greeted by an endless field. The ears of wheat are not yet ripe, and the green wheat is waving in the wind, and when the wind blows, the wheat falls down.

There are many farmers plowing in the fields under the sun, some of them are cultivating canals or land, and some are clearing weeds.

When it was hot, Shi Min found a shed to cool off, and from time to time there were a few farmers carrying farm tools.

Shi Min found an old farmer and asked, "Uncle, I see that you are still plowing in such a hot day, and it seems that this year's harvest is guaranteed again." ”

"What did Childe say?" The old farmer saw Shi Min's outfit and the three entourages following behind him, and knew that this was the son of the Shi clan, so he shook his head and said, "This year's situation is good, there is more rain than in previous years, and the harvest must be considerable, but this harvest is not the harvest of us mud-legged people." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Shi Min was a little confused.

"Childe doesn't eat fireworks in the world, and it's no wonder that the little old man has this question." The old farmer sighed faintly and said, "Most of this land is handed over to us by the landlords to cultivate. We, the peasants, have rented their land, and naturally we have to pay it back with the harvest! Every year, three-fifths of the harvest in the land is handed over to the landlord according to the proportion, and then the taxes paid to the government are deducted! Childe, the harvest you are talking about is not our harvest! ”

"That's it!"

The farmers sitting next to him enjoying the cool air praised it.

A middle-aged farmer said: "Childe, look at your dress, your temperament, and the guards who follow you, listen to your accent, you should be from out of town, right?" Childe doesn't know that we, the mud legs, have suffered from harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and most of the money has been occupied by the landlords and gentry, and we people are trying to support our families. In this good year, I can barely survive, and I can still eat enough, and when the year is bad, some people will starve to death! ”

Hearing this, Shi Min realized the seriousness of the problem.

The peasants rented the landlord's land for farming, and every year they had to hand over two-fifths of the harvest in the land, and then they had to pay taxes to the government, and the rest of the harvest was really not enough for a few families.

"Don't you all have your own land?" Shi Min asked.

The old farmer said, "Yes." I still have a few pieces of land, but it's all idle wasteland, and I basically can't cultivate it! Where do you peasants don't have their own land? But the good land has long been seized by those officials and gentlemen, they forcibly seize it, and rely on their power to make you have no place to reason! ”
