Chapter 4, the 61st round of the conference, Zhu Di swears
Gu Yun persuaded Yiyi to stop and asked her to listen carefully to the conversation between Zhu Di and others.
Seeing that those women were unusually ragged, they were all so hungry that their faces were yellow and thin, their bodies were all blue and black, there was no blood, I don't know how long they had been hungry, one had no clothes, their ribs were clear, and their roots were striped, I don't know if it was a man or a woman.
They looked at these fat and strong Mongols, and as if they saw life in their eyes, they actually took off the clothes of the Mongolian warriors, looking extremely hungry, and their saliva flowed.
Zhu Di said: "What are you doing here?!"
Zhu Tong said: "I haven't eaten for a long time and I can't eat human flesh!"
One woman cried, "We, we just want to find something to eat! We haven't eaten for a long time!"
Zhu Di said: "As far as I know, why don't you plant land in Henan this year, don't you have a little grain stock?"
"We, we..."
An old woman, who took off the Mongolian robe and wrapped it around herself, finally had a hard way to cover her body, but she talked dignified and thought that she used to be a big family: "Hero, you don't know, my late husband was an official in the court, and I saw that the Yuan Court increased the rent every year, and one acre of land can make two stones of grain, and the Yuan Court can receive more than three stones for various rent and taxes, and the more we farmers farm, the more we have no food to eat, and the more industrious we are, the more hopeless we are, and over time, the people are unwilling to farm!"
Another middle-aged woman said: "It's not just Lak! In the eighth year of Zhengzheng, more than 30 kinds of taxes have been collected, and our family will have to pay taxes until 50 years later!"
Zhu Di was stunned and hurriedly asked, "What are the names of these taxes!"
The old woman said: "Eh, I don't remember much, the most are the tax on people, the tax on acres, and the tax on cutting heads." ”
also a small soft voice whispered in Gu Yun's ear: "Gu.. Gu Yun, what is the head-cutting tax!"
Gu Yun said: "That is, the tax on killing pigs, killing pigs and sheep, killing chickens and slaughtering dogs all have to pay taxes!
Yiyi shook his head: "Tsu" big eyes are full of water, and the cuteness is very good-looking: "No." Gu Yun hugged her waist and held it slenderly, he occasionally held a prostitute, but such a slender and slender body was the first time to touch, it was simply confusing, not to mention that he was a Mongolian, even he wanted to do it to death, but when he thought about it, he was also Zou Pusheng's daughter, and he couldn't bully her. The two listened to the refugees' grievances again, and secretly felt sad.
The woman said: "There are also autumn taxes, winter taxes, five poultry taxes, utensils taxes, etc., etc..."
The old woman added: "On major festivals, there are additional levies in the imperial court, and my husband once said to me when he was an official in the court, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty had to collect fifty yuan from door to door on his birthday, but the officials were exploited layer by layer, and when they received it from our people, they would have to pay hundreds of money..."
Zhu Di's eyebrows were furrowed, and the smile that had left the poem before was all frozen, only to feel that his eyes were deep and thoughtful. Immediately, seeing that these people had the momentum to eat these Mongolian warriors, he hurriedly stopped them, but was pushed away by the refugees.
"Woo woo, Gongzi is okay! We haven't eaten for a long time! Since the famine in the Central Plains, the Shaolin Temple has sent warrior monks and officials to rob all the grain of the farmers in the vicinity for twenty or thirty miles! We, we can't remember how long we haven't eaten!" The common people cried.
Zhu Di said: "That can't be cannibalistic!"
A little girl said: "Human flesh is good, human flesh can fill the stomach! Last year, my brother starved to death, and my mother, my mother exchanged my brother for a brother who starved to death in someone else's family! That is, that is the only full meal in our family!"
Hearing this, everyone's tears burst out of their eyes, and Zhu Di took out twenty taels of silver and handed it to the refugees.
The old lady said: "Ahem, ahem, the money is still spent by the son! If we are given silver, we have nowhere to buy food! Even if we buy food, we will be robbed by those bureaucratic bullies!"
Everyone was helpless Zhu Di looked at these people, bowed down and bowed, performed the heaviest bow of the Han people, and said: "Everyone, the people! I, Zhu Di, swear to heaven here! In this life and this life, I will definitely drive out the Tartars and return the rivers and mountains of my Han family! Let the common people be well fed, warmly clothed, and able to read! Let the world be happy forever, if you violate this oath, you will definitely not die a good death! The children and grandchildren of my Zhu family will be dug graves and graves dug up, and there will be no peace forever!"
Immediately, the four of them settled down and rode to Shaolin, Gu Yun looked at Zhu Di's radiant appearance and turned out to have a phoenix-shaped dragon posture, and secretly admired Xindao's pride, he must be a character in the future.
Yiyi listened to Zhu Di's oath, secretly shocked, and muttered: "Yongle, Yongle, Yongle Emperor!Ah! I remember! I remember!" Yiyi jumped up and down in Gu Yun's arms, like a happy monkey.
Zhu Di and Zhu Tong knew that this was also funny, so he didn't take it to heart, and fell in Gu Yun's ear: "Ahhhh
Gu Yundeng was overjoyed, he believed in Yiyi's words a little, but he also knew that things were man-made; but after a few days of getting along, Zhu Di was heroic and righteous, and he was full of compassion for the people, if it was really as Yiyi said, in the future, this little-known young man could become a great treasure, and it was also a great blessing for the people of the world.
Yiyi's nose suddenly became sour, and he said in his heart: "It's strange, Fourth Brother Zhu is obviously such a good person, if according to the history books, he will be a bad person who will kill his nephew in the future, is it really utilitarian that makes people bad?" She shook her head secretly and didn't say anything.
The four of them traveled along the road for two or three days, but they saw that the autumn was dry, the fields in Henan were barren, the road was full of bones, and the crows were eating. It's a no-man's-land of dozens of miles again.
But it didn't take long for me to see a green place in the distance, and I saw the seventy-two peaks of Songshan Mountain in the distance, which were vigorous and upright, straight into the sky. Deng Shi felt that the suffering in the world continued, but this monk's money-making cultivation could not be disturbed. So the four rode their horses and went into the mountains.
Henan Shaomu Mountain is quite steep, the mountain road is a long row of wide stone steps, the scale is magnificent, the project is really not small, that is the Tang Dynasty Gaozong for the Shaolin Temple and excavated, a total of eight miles long. The four of them rode the horses and folded up, only to see the five waterfalls on the opposite mountain flying beads splashing jade, rushing down, and then looking down at the mountains, it was like an ant leech.
Yiyi is always a child's temper, seeing the beautiful mountains and rivers, the wind is refreshing, the scenery is good, and the depression of the previous days has finally calmed down, riding a red horse and singing: "Shaolin, Shaolin, hey!"
And listen to Yiyi's voice singing:
Shaolin Shaolin
How many heroes and heroes have come to admire you
Shaolin Shaolin
How many magical stories are telling you everywhere
Superb martial arts are unparalleled in the world
The Shaolin Temple is powerful in all directions
It has a long history
Shaolin Temple has a brilliant reputation
A mysterious place of thousand-year-old temples
Everyone yearns for Songshan Valley
Fascinating place in the home of martial arts
The world is well-known through the ages
Zhu Di smiled after hearing it: "Hahaha, Yiyi's tune is quite peculiar, and we haven't heard it either, but Zhu doesn't agree with the song sung~"
When he heard this, he was shocked: "What? Isn't that so?"
Zhu Di smiled and said, "Hahaha, little sister, listen to me." ”
