Chapter 123 Riding a tiger is hard to get off (1)
"The old mother of Wang, I will raise money for me and send my son to send me to give me wine and fragrance."
This is a sentence that the old man personally reposted, stood in the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum, and was on the imperial tomb monument.
In the inscription of the imperial tomb with more than a thousand words, the old man mentioned three people.
"The landlord does not care about me, and shouts and shouts, and they are not with the ground, and their neighbors are sad. My brother is so generous that he is favored by this yellow soil."
The first thing to mention is the landlord of the Zhu family at that time, Liu De, the owner of the Zhu family who farmed the land. He ignored the misery of the old man and his brother, not only did not lend a helping hand, but also scolded the old man.
The second one is the mention of Brother Yi, the brother Liu Jizu, the landlord Liu De. Seeing that the old man was miserable, he gave the old man a grave so that the old man's parents and brothers could be buried.
Liu Jizu was Marquis of Yihui. Liu De, who was harsh to the old man, not only did not blame him, but instead generously gave him thirty acres of land.
Someone once submitted a complaint to the old man to punish Liu De for his disrespectful crime.
But the old man said, "There is no need to ask about the love of this world. When I was poor, how could he know that he is the emperor today?"
However, these two people just quipped their names in a vague way, without their last names.
On the inscription, there is only one person who solemnly expresses his name, Wang's mother.
Seeing that the old man was so miserable, the old woman took out her coffin book and helped the old man buy incense and candles to pay tribute to her parents. She also asked her son to escort the old man to the temple so that the old man could temporarily settle down after his family was destroyed.
Before the old man became famous, he really called the old woman of the Wang family the godmother! The Wang family did have kindness to the old man.
After becoming rich, the old woman had already passed away, and the old man gave her gratitude to her descendants. The old lady posthumously named Mrs. Taigong, who is equivalent to a fourth-rank official, was hereditary General Mingwei as the commander-in-chief.
This is a hereditary official position of the fourth rank. You should know that even the son of the marquis of the founding Huaixi nobles was nothing more than that. For example, the son of Cao Zhen, the marquis of Jingchuan, was only hereditary thousand households at the beginning.
"Wang family? Wang family? So arrogant and domineering, no one is arrogant!" The old man pursed his lips and muttered twice.
Then he asked loudly, "What other bad things have they done? Come on one by one?"
"Bullying men and dominating women..."
The man in the field was about to speak, but was suddenly stopped by the old man. Then the old man said to the Zhu family, "This is the only one who wants to work on farm work, so we should spend less time with you!"
He is not busy with farm work, but he doesn't want to say more.
The old man stomped his feet suddenly, "How far is it from the village?"
"Six miles!" Li Jinglong finished his low voice and looked at Zhu Yunxi carefully.
"Let's go!" The old man waved his hand and got on the carriage directly, then remained silent in silence.
The Ming Dynasty ruled that riding a horse to destroy the farmland was a serious crime for one hundred disciples and three thousand miles. Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, this has been the case in all dynasties. On that day, Emperor Wu of Wei Cao issued an edict that those who trampled on good fields died. Then his war horse was frightened and trampled on the land, and in anger he killed his beloved horse.
People take food as the most important thing, and the country takes food as the most important thing.
And in the words of the villagers, such things are not a big deal in the eyes of these emperors and my neighbors.
Six miles away in the blink of an eye, the official road outside Guzhuang Village is flat and open, not like a country road at all, but is comparable to the capital.
Because the old man sealed more than 20 households in the tomb guarding the tomb guarding, the village was full of vermilion gates, and all the tomb guarding the tomb guarding the tombs were occupied.
From a distance, the dilapidated villages in the past are now full of bunting houses, with extraordinary magnificence.
There is also the ancestral home of the Duke of the Former Trustee Tang He and the Marquis of Changxing Geng Bingwen in this village. However, the two of them have not lived here for the past few years because of their arbitrage. The old house is only used to worship incense, and they have not been cultivated very magnificently.
I think this is one of the reasons why these two people didn't have any accidents in the late years of the old man's rule. Thinking of Jiangxiahou Zhou Dexing, a good friend who lived opposite the old man at that time. Although he was eventually killed because he was involved in the competition between Zhu Yunyu and Zhu Yunwen, he was in his hometown and his old house was comparable to that of the imperial palace.
Even if I didn't collude with the Lü family, I think the outcome would not be good.
~~
The village is not big, but it is extremely prosperous. There are all restaurants and shops outside the village.
There is nothing else, Zhuangzi has money.
The father-in-law's carriage was outside the village, and there were no guests in front of a restaurant with a small presence. The waiter was lying on the table and was napping. Seeing that there was a carriage, he hurried out to greet him.
"Several people, look at the face? But when you pass by here? What should you use?" the waiter smiled attentively.
"Just make some wine and food at will!" Li Jinglong walked in the front and threw two silver dollars over directly, "You don't need to find the rest as rewards!"
The waiter immediately smiled. He didn't have the same amount of salary for most of the year.
Zhu Yunxiu looked down at the restaurant, not very good, but not bad, and said, "Why are there no customers?"
The waiter smiled and wiped the table, then pulled open the chair, "Our small shop leans against this farm, and we usually take on banquets, but there are not many individual guests!"
The old man sat down and asked, "Does there be many banquets in the village on weekdays?"
"More!" the waiter smiled, "This farm has been the emperor. Now every household has money, and we can't lose the show when we have fun and weddings."
"The emperor's relatives have money?" Zhu Yunxiu smiled with a little knowingly asked, "They used to be farmers, where did they get the money?"
"You don't know what this is. Each family has hundreds of acres of land and mountains. If you don't have to pay grain and tax, you will naturally be rich!" The young waiter was talking and smiled, "Besides, they are not just farming, but each family has planted hundreds of acres of mulberry trees. Why don't they have money?"
Sang, it is much more valuable than Tian.
Zhuge Liang once told the postmaster of Shu Han, "There are eight hundred mulberry trees in Chengdu, and 15 hectares of thin fields. Children have their own spare time!"
Mulberry trees are full of treasures, not to mention that they can weave cloth and make clothes, the roots and leaves are all the best medicinal materials. Moreover, mulberry trees themselves are the more valuable they grow older. They can be used as musical instruments, furniture, and carriages, or even good bows.
"Besides, people do not pay taxes or labor service!" The waiter continued to smile, "Many large households in the surrounding counties and townships have their fields under their names..." As he said that, he also gave Zhu Yunyu a meaningful look.
Anyone who is not a fool understands this.
To put it simply, it means being affiliated. In the name of these tomb guards, the grain tax that should be paid to the court will be saved. Then, everyone will share as much as they should.
Local officials cannot not know about this kind of thing. I think it is because the old man said "kinship and neighbor" in person and gave him many privileges, so he closed his eyes and acted as if he couldn't see it.
"Who is the richest family in this farm?" the old man asked with a smile, "But the Liu family of Marquis of Yihui?"
"Well... no!" The waiter thought for a while, "Their family doesn't live in the village, they are all in the city!"
Zhu Yunsheng, the Liu family of the Marquis of Yihui, knew something about it because Liu Nianen, the son of the Liu family, had participated in the imperial examination, and because the imperial examinations were all from southerners, he took the lead in causing trouble and even found Guo Yingna.
The Liu family has a very good reputation in Fengyang. I haven't heard of any bad deeds in recent years, nor have they become arrogant because they are the benefactor of the Zhu family. Instead, they have devoted their efforts to cultivate their children in their families to study, which is a good family as mentioned by the government.
"I heard that the Liu family is the benefactor of the royal family, and his family is not the richest?" Zhu Yunxiu continued to ask with a smile.
Then I saw that the waiter seemed to feel that he had said too much, and he was unwilling to speak and continued to laugh, "We are passing by here, and we have nothing to do to chat. If you want to say it, let's just listen to it as a joke!"
Maybe it was because of the two silver dollars that the waiter thought about it and whispered, "Would you like to say that the richest and most glorious person is the Wang family?"
"Oh? I haven't heard of it!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "Don't just talk nonsense if I'm a foreigner!"
"Why are you talking nonsense?" The waiter was anxious. "The Wang family, the ancestor of the Wang family was the godmother of the old man Hongwu. There were a lot of hereditary positions in the family." As he said that, he lowered his voice again, "Do you know how much money did his family get by just having other people's land exemption last year?"
Then, stretch out three fingers.
Zhu Yunxiu deliberately cliched and opened his mouth wide and looked surprised, "Thirty?"
"Tsk..." The waiter curled his lips.
"Then, three hundred?" Zhu Yunxiu glared and made an incredible statement.
"Three thousand!" said the waiter, "A total of three thousand silver dollars!"
"Good guy!" Zhu Yunxi was really shocked this time.
"Who told you?" the old man spoke next to him.
"The young master of the Wang family often comes to drink, and I heard it when I was serving him!" The waiter said seriously, "Tsk tsk, it's not just money, but people want money and people. Last year, the young master of the Wang family competed with someone in a brothel in the city, and directly broke the other party's leg!"
"The person who was beaten is also a rich young master. He refused to sue the official, but guess what?" The waiter kept in a silence. "When the Bingma Si heard that it was the young master of the Wang family, he had the official position of General Mingwei, and he didn't dare to arrest him! In the end, the prefect came forward and asked Mr. Wang to accompany him to make the matter go to justice!"
"Hmph!" The old man snorted heavily, "Why did Old Mrs. Wang give birth to such a bunch of ignorant descendants!"
At this moment, a sudden sound came from outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, several rich slaves surrounded a swinging young man in fur.
