There are still many tenant farmers like Gou Sheng on the land of North Korea. Either they have heard about what happened in Liaodong, or they have not, or they have become insensitive, or they still have longing in their hearts.

No matter what kind of person he was, when the slogan of equal distribution of land was shouted, everyone's hearts boiled.

From ancient times to the present, no matter what peasant uprisings are, this slogan has always been used as a rallying cry. This slogan has never been out of date. Even in modern times, there is still a great political party using it to rally the people.

This shows the power of this slogan.

However, after the excitement, the tenant farmers who accounted for the vast majority of the population in various parts of North Korea suddenly discovered how this equal distribution of land could be changed, and who would divide the land.

The tenant farmers didn't know, and neither did Gou Sheng, who boasted of being well-informed. Master Jin had some guesses, but he would never say anything. For him, it would be too late.

Looking at the land surrounded by the masters, the tenant farmers were ready to take action. However, they were used to being bullied by the masters. They only dared to think in their hearts and did not dare to take any action or even reveal their thoughts.

Come.

Let everything wait for the king of the Ming Dynasty. Since the emperor called for equal distribution of the land, it will always be his turn. The tenant farmers thought cunningly, and then they felt relieved.

It was just when they were farming that they began to pay attention, remembering which pieces of land were good and which pieces of land were poor.

Gou Sheng's village is no exception. All the tenant farmers secretly remember the quality of the land. The whole village is very happy, but only Master Jin is the exception. He has a sad face all day long and stares at the ground in a daze every day.

"Master, I would like to borrow some bricks and wood from you, can you?" One day, Gou Sheng found Master Jin who was in a daze.

"What do you want to do, kid? Renovate your old house so that you can welcome the Ming Dynasty King?" Master Jin asked angrily.

"No, it's the Taoist priest who wants to build a Taoist temple on the mound over there. Now we are short of materials." Gou Sheng said with a smile.

At this time, Mr. Jin saw a middle-aged Taoist priest next to Gou Sheng. When he saw him looking over, the Taoist priest bowed his head, announced a number, and said in Korean, "Haotian bless me, I have seen the golden donor."

.”

This is a Taoist priest from the Ming Dynasty.

After careful observation for a while, Mr. Jin came to the conclusion that whether it was some idioms that the other party said in North Korea or the person's mental outlook, they were all typical Ming people's characteristics, and there were very few religious people in North Korea.

Yes, Confucianism is popular here, and even if it exists, it is usually imported, and most of its origins are from the Ming Dynasty.

"I've met the Taoist Master." Mr. Jin quickly stood up and saluted. "I don't know what kind of Taoist temple the Taoist Master wants to build and why he built it here."

"This is the Tiandi Temple, which is a Taoist temple dedicated to God Haotian. The reason why it was built here is because it is close to the river, the terrain is flat, and there are many villages around it, which can promote the glory of Haotian." The middle-aged Taoist priest explained gently.

With.

Needless to say, these were the first batch of Taoist priests sent here by Wang Changyue to preach after Korea was annexed. They did not choose county towns, but went to the countryside where farmers gathered. Following the trend of equal land distribution, the Temple of Heavenly Emperor can definitely

A great start.

"The Temple of the Emperor of Heaven? God Haotian!" Upon hearing this name, Master Jin immediately felt something in his heart. Isn't this the throne of the Ming Emperor? I heard it was his name before reincarnation. For God Haotian, the righteous god of the court,

, Mr. Jin didn’t know, he had never heard of this god, but the scene of Gou Sheng kneeling down and worshiping was deep in his mind and could not be forgotten, so he wrote it down.

"It turns out that it is dedicated to His Majesty the Great Emperor. This old man must support, support." Mr. Jin quickly said politely. Now that North Korea has been merged into the Ming Dynasty, we still have to be careful with the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Wait, I seem to be from Ming Dynasty too!

"Thank you very much for the donor's support. I have to go to the surrounding villages to write materials." The middle-aged Taoist priest bowed and walked away, while Gou Sheng followed respectfully, busy in front of him.

Soon, word spread that a Taoist priest from the Ming Dynasty built a Taoist temple on the stone mountain. Of course, it was more because the Taoist priest wanted to recruit people to build the Taoist temple, and the money he gave was red copper coins from the Ming Dynasty.

The coins are very beautiful.

As a result, all the free people from the surrounding tenant farmer villages came to help out so that they could earn one or two copper coins.

"Taoist Master, why is this copper coin different from the previous one?" But after getting it, a tenant farmer found something different. Unlike the previous copper coins, this copper coin has no holes in the middle. It can't be a fake.

"Haha, don't worry, these are newly minted by the emperor this year. They are worth more than the previous copper coins. One can be worth ten, so don't suffer a loss when you use it." The Taoist priest explained with a smile.

"Really, Taoist priest, it's really worth the first ten." The tenant farmer asked in surprise.

Originally, they thought the Taoist priest was stingy and only gave one to the helper. Unexpectedly, this one turned out to be ten copper coins.

"This is natural, this is stipulated by His Majesty the Emperor, and it is also done in this way in the Ming Dynasty." The Taoist priest explained haha.

Now, the tenant farmers who were helping were excited and worked even harder. In just a few days, the Taoist temple took shape. Then Gou Sheng became the first to become a regular visitor to the Taoist temple, coming here every day to help and clean.

, chop wood and carry water, very diligent.

After the Taoist temple was built, it gradually became a lively place, firstly because there are relatively few such temples in North Korea, and secondly because the gods enshrined here are different. The one enshrined here is God Haotian, who is said to be the previous life of the current Ming Dynasty emperor. He met the Ming Dynasty

When he was in trouble, he came down to earth to save the world.

Now, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, who is in Seoul, has made bold words to divide the land equally. Now it has spread throughout North Korea. But whether it can be realized or just talk, these ordinary people have no idea. Now, with His Majesty's

Since the gods are worshiped here, they will naturally come to offer incense for the sake of the fields.

And this Taoist temple is located at the junction of several villages. It naturally has a flow of people and gradually becomes more prosperous. Some people even set up stalls here to sell things.

In the Taoist temple, Gou Sheng was working hard to clean the house. Seeing the young man working so hard, the Taoist priest was very pleased and decided to call the young man something.

"Gou Sheng, come here, I will ask you to read the scriptures today." The Taoist priest took out a book and called to Gou Sheng.

"I'll be right away." Gou Shan promised with a cheerful face, quickly finished what he was doing, wiped his hands and left.

"Take this book." The Taoist priest handed over a thick book.

"This is... Chinese characters?" Gou Sheng looked surprised after taking the book.

Korea has a language, but no writing. It uses Chinese characters for recording. Although a king compiled Korean characters in the 15th century, very few people used them. The upper class still used Chinese characters. This was called official reading, which means "official reading".

Words that can only be used by officials.

The Korean people are basically illiterate. Even though Korean characters are spread, they are not taken seriously. At that time, Korean characters were jokingly called Hangul, and their meanings were on the same level as proverbs.

Although Gou Sheng didn't know Chinese characters, he had at least seen them. The books handed over by the Taoist Master at this moment were all written in Chinese characters.

Did the Taoist Master want to teach me Chinese characters? Gou Sheng suppressed the throbbing in his heart and looked at the Taoist Master expectantly. As expected, the Taoist Master wanted to teach him Chinese characters and Ming Dynasty Mandarin.

Zhu Youxiao's promotion of Mandarin failed. He forgot that the Mandarin of later generations was seriously influenced by the Jurchens and was a changed version of Ming Mandarin. How could it be promoted in this way? After thinking of this, he also gave up.

, just let the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy compile a kind of Mandarin suitable for promotion, and prepare to agree on the national language.

However, this has nothing to do with the Taoist priest. He still speaks the most popular Mandarin dialect today, which is Wu dialect.

"Come, read with me."

"Everyone is equal before His Majesty," Tao Chang said in a clear tone.

"Everyone is equal before His Majesty." Gou Sheng said something a little awkward and weird.

After reading the sentence, Gou Sheng asked curiously, "Taoist Priest, what kind of book is this?"

"This is the original holy teaching." The Taoist priest replied with a smile, "It is the only classic of our view of the Emperor of Heaven, and it is the sayings of His Majesty."

"Oh." Gou Sheng's eyes were filled with wonder. He was interested in anything related to His Majesty.

In this way, Gou Sheng went to the Temple of Heavenly Emperor to study the original teachings when he had time, and the days passed peacefully, and soon, two months passed.

At this time, two months had passed since the news about the equal distribution of land was heard. Although the village where Gou Sheng was located was closed, it often communicated with the outside world. At first, the local tenant farmers were excited and looking forward to it, but after a month, there was still no movement.

, they all gave up the idea, and two months later, no one remembered it anymore.

Even Mr. Jin's complexion has improved a lot, and he has returned to his former left-wing attitude. As for the previous experience, he only regards it as a dream. How is it possible to divide the land equally?

However, there was indeed something different in the early morning of this day. When the tenant farmers who had returned from work at noon returned to the village, they saw the old men who had come down from the county to collect taxes, nodding and bowing to accompany many people.

In the open space of the village, many people and women who had returned early had gathered, and they were all discussing excitedly. The people who came later squeezed in, and after asking, they found out that this was actually a team for dividing fields.

Those in the front are civil servants doing business, and those in the back are Ming soldiers responsible for security.

Divide the land, actually divide the land.

Everyone who got the news was dumbfounded. They didn't expect that the equally divided land, which they had been thinking about day and night, had been waiting for for a long time, and even thought it was just a scam, would just come?

Many people rubbed their eyes and couldn't believe it. But looking at the tall and powerful soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who were covered in iron armor and looked heroic, they had no choice but to believe it.

No one would make fun of lower class people like them.

Da da da!

Soon, another sound of horse hoofbeats came from the entrance of the village. The impatient tenant farmers saw that it was the Taoist Master of Tiandi Temple who was now well-known in the surrounding area.

After the Taoist leader arrived, he exchanged a few words with the commander of the Ming soldiers, and then stood aside and looked at him with a smile. The commander also stepped forward at this time and announced loudly, "All the people have arrived, and the fields are divided into households.

Start now."
Chapter completed!
