Chapter 65: A Thunder on the Ground
Compared with real thieves like Yun Xiao, unscrupulous thieves like Yun Zhao can't stand on the stage at all.
People don’t marry wives. Of course, as one of the village leaders, there is no shortage of women. His daughter’s name is Yun Xiao. She is Yun Zhao’s seventh sister. Her appearance is obviously different from Yun Xiao’s. It is also the result of brothers working together.
However, Yun Xiao clearly regards this girl whose name has the same pronunciation as his but different characters as precious as Jin Piao.
Worried that my daughter would be wronged if she entered the Yun family mansion, she often asked Yun Zhao to send her some silks, meat, and other things, but she only stopped after being scolded by Yun Niang.
Things that their brothers don’t care about are simply not possible when it comes to Yun Zhao! ! !
A wife is a wife, not an object. No matter how beautiful a brother’s wife is, he doesn’t care about it. However ugly his own wife is, if someone else touches her, she should have her hands chopped off, her feet even cut into pieces. .
So, Yun Zhao feels that he is a very traditional person.
When he got home, he lay down honestly under the big locust tree that was beginning to lose its leaves, accepting the last gift of autumn.
Yunniang walked by and saw her son sleeping with his eyes closed, so she took a blanket and covered him with it.
Qian Duoduo came over and thought that Yun Zhao might be hot because he was fat, so he took the blanket away. When he saw his younger brother lying on the car and drying his belly, he put the blanket on his younger brother.
Then, Yun Zhao had more than a dozen sisters. In order to show that they were gentle and kind-hearted women, each of them came to care for their younger brother, so Yun Zhao covered her with a thick blanket under the sun. There were several layers of blankets, and people had taken off their shoes and carefully tucked them into the blankets.
Dabai Goose sees these little things very clearly, but Yun Zhao feels nothing at all.
What the gentleman said today is extremely important to him, so he wants to go over this matter again in connection with the historical experience of the past three thousand years.
Generally speaking, what Mr. Wang said is correct and feasible. The only thing he did not expect was the entry of the Qing Dynasty into China.
When foreigners invaded the Central Plains, they always plundered and then left. Since Meng Yuan set the precedent of establishing a foothold in the Central Plains, the habit of only plundering without taking over has ceased to hold.
As long as Yun Zhao thinks about the various behaviors of the Manchu cavalry after entering the pass, his heart will feel cold.
If I really burned down the Jiange Plank Road and formed my own system in Shu as my husband thought, then the Manchu Qing Dynasty sweeping the Central Plains would become more and more powerful in the process of plundering. After the Manchus and Qing Dynasties complete their unification, they will become a corner in Shu!
Since ancient times, there have been few successful precedents for using a small area to fight against the whole country, and Yun Zhao did not want the Central Plains to be massacred by the Manchus again.
It would be the greatest humiliation for Yun Zhao to watch history repeat itself.
"Just go out!"
Yun Zhao's weak voiceIt came out from under the thick blanket, like a cry for help.
Qian Shaoshao quickly took off all the blankets on Yun Zhao, and then saw Yun Zhao who was sweating profusely.
"Aren't you hot?"
"A little!"
"Why do you need so many blankets if it's hot?"
Yun Zhao sat up from the recliner, looked at Qian Shaoshao and said, "Who covered me with the blanket?"
"Your mother, and your sisters, besides, if my sister hadn't helped you get it If you drop a blanket, you will feel even more uncomfortable."
Yun Zhao looked at the blankets piled on the cart by Qian Shaosha and said decisively: "Your sister is not so kind. The only reason why he took the blanket from me was because of you. It’s cold!”
Qian Shaoshao quickly brought the blanket over and piled it on Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao said helplessly: "I'm just stating a fact, and I don't mean to blame you."
"It's my fault!"
As long as his sister is involved, Qian Shaoshao has a very upright attitude and is not even willing to make excuses.
When Yun Yang came, Yun Zhao was eating, so he naturally ate with him.
In the robbery in Xi'an City, Yun Yang personally killed a guard, so he got twenty taels of silver.
This robbery and murder has completely transformed this simple farm boy into a bandit.
He is now learning from Yun Meng in every aspect, and is ready to take over the career of the older generation of Yun clan thieves anytime and anywhere.
"A batch of iron farm tools has been melted. Six thousand kilograms of high-quality iron. As long as we fry another batch of hard steel, we can forge steel-clad weapons. When do you think it is better to start forging? "
"Where are the blacksmiths?"
"There were two that were barely usable in Crescent Mountain. After Monk Peng was killed, there were many blacksmiths there. I tried it and it worked.
Afterwards, I have to tell you whether I want to silence you or not!"
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "Remember, we won't kill any of the craftsmen, we can only win over them! , can’t be harmed, just give them more money and food.
I don’t believe these people will betray us and sue the officials.”
“They were all arrested by Monk Peng and sued. The officer doesn’t know how to escape.”
“It shouldn’t be difficult to get their family members up the mountain, since they are all nearby!”
"Let me tell you first, if you open this hole, as long as you are a person, you will want to bring your family up the mountain."
"Why, isn't life better at the bottom of the mountain?"
"There is no other way. The government has opened Liao's pay this year."
"Liao's pay?"
"Yes, Liaodong Pingjian slaves have no money. Listen to my father, There were Liao rates in the past, but they were not much. One acre of land cost only one cent or two cents of silver, and at the highest level, it cost one bushel of wheat.
This year is different. Liao rates have been incorporated into a whip method. Inside, only cash is accepted.No grain is needed, and one acre of land costs three taels of silver.
Yun Zhao frowned and said: "The output of one acre of land is worth three taels of silver?"
Yun Yang curled his lips and said indifferently: "If the government wants to accept it like this, what can the common people do?" The great eunuch Huang Chuanliang personally urged him. If he did not pay the Liao salary, he would be taken away by the government with big shackles. He would be released only when the Liao salary was paid.
I also heard that in some places, the Liao salary was almost eight taels of silver per acre of land. It was obvious that the government had no intention of letting the people live.
Yun Zhao said in surprise: "Why didn't your family accept it?" "
Yun Yang pulled the remaining half bowl of rice that Yun Zhao had eaten into his own big bowl, took a big bite and said: "The head of the Yun family is an official, so he doesn't accept it, he only asks for donations. The eldest lady donated 700 yuan. "
"Don't your family have to pay twelve taels of silver? ”
“That’s right! "
"Are you ready to hand it over? Oh, you have money. "
Yun Yang raised his head and looked at Yun Zhao and said: "Do you think I am a fool? "
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "You are not. "
"That's it. Since I'm not a fool, why do I have to pay twelve taels of silver? "
"What if the government comes to find you? "
"Does the government have the strength to find Yunjiazhuangzi? Only if you have the ability to collect the Liao wages from Wannian and Chang'an counties.
I am here to tell you, young master, that there is no way for the common people to survive. There is going to be chaos, there is going to be a big chaos!
There is already a conspiracy to kill the eunuch Huang Chuanliang! The small people who have land at home all know about it, but you big landowners who don’t pay money don’t know yet. "
After Yun Zhao heard what Yun Yang said, he couldn't sit still. He quickly asked Qian Shaoshao to call the housekeeper Yun Fu and tell him what Yun Yang said again.
Yun Fu didn't show any surprise at all, he looked at Yun Yang and said calmly: "You can stay at home for me. "
Yun Yang nodded and said: "My father said so too. "
Yunfu said to Yunzhao again: "This is a matter between the officials and the eunuchs. The ignorant people are just pawns in their hands.
It’s okay if we can’t see through it. Since we can see through it, we can just stay calm and watch them fight with each other.
Haha, three taels of silver per acre of land... It seems that these officials were forced by the eunuchs to the point of dying, so they resorted to this trick.
Master, it has nothing to do with our family inside and out. After a while, after the eunuch Huang Chuanliang was beaten to death by a group of people, the Liao salary will still be collected according to the previous rate. The Liao salary collected this year should be higher than in previous years. Even lower. ”
The words spoken by the old man always have a reassuring power.
For a boy like Yun Zhao who still thinks of future generations, the politics of his era are A very serious matter, something like this might happen there.
According to his usual thinking, whether officials or eunuchs dare to do this, they are basically looking for death!
It is said that there was chaos at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Those are just a few words in history books. Now that he has witnessed such strange things happening, he still feels chills in his heart...
The common people are just fish and meat. It is really not the case. An exaggeration, but a fact.
Yun Zhao can clearly say that after this incident, the Ming Dynasty's rule in Shaanxi was completely over.
The people will no longer have any respect for officials, and the tall image of the imperial court in the hearts of the people of Shaanxi will completely collapse.
Thieves and bandits who were originally at a disadvantage will take the opportunity to gain power...
Yun Zhao's mouth is bitter... The development opportunities he has worked so hard to get are ushered in with giant bandits like Li Hongji. Compared with the social development dividends of China, it is not on the same level at all.
I thought that as a prophet, I would make full use of the dividends of social development...
Now it seems that God's will is the greatest...
