Chapter 59 The gap opens, and the wind does not stop

Listening to Zhang Guozhu's words, Yun Zhao's heart was warm.

Zhang Guozhu is still the big animal in Qian Duoduo's mouth, not only loyal, but also caring.

The slave system, there is still a very high market in the Ming Dynasty, everyone lives well, who doesn't want to lie in bed and let others help them make money and serve themselves?

In the past, there was no such condition, but now, this condition is sufficient and can no longer be sufficient, so everyone is very dissatisfied with Yun Zhao's request that everyone continue to guard against arrogance and rashness and maintain a life of hard work.

In particular, businessmen and some landlords who own hundreds or even thousands of acres of land have some complaints about the regulations.

Just like Zhang Debang in Hangzhou, Master Zhang, who dreamed of getting the imperial court to allow his family to buy foreign slaves.

Obviously, there is no shortage of food and clothing at home, the wife hangs gold and silver, but she has to cook and cook and wash clothes for the whole family, this is not good, my lord and I obviously earn thousands of silver coins a month, but the wife of the family only gave birth to a daughter, no matter how hard she tried, she didn't produce, seeing that the family wealth was going to be cheaper for others, how is this good?

Hire a Ming man?

Many people don't even dare to think about it, the workers hired in the workshop, the weaver girl must pay the boss a sum of money to the government in addition to the salary, it is said that this money is to wait for these guys, the weaver girls have no strength to work after receiving the money.

That's right, it's Yulu, and all the money issued by the government is called Yulu.

If you don't pay it, let the government find out...... Master Qin was so dignified because of this matter, he was sued by the slaves hired by his own family, and as a result, he was fined ten times the money, not to mention, and he was heavily punished for twenty boards, fart. The blood that was beaten and stabbed had to parade through the streets.

Master Qin, who suffered such a great humiliation, couldn't figure it out when he returned home, so he hanged himself.

As a result, after the government found out that Master Qin had committed suicide, it ignored it, and strictly ordered Master Qin's family to pay the fine within the specified time, and if he did not pay it, he would continue to arrest Master Qin's eldest son to pass the court.

After the money was paid, Master Qin's eldest son handed the pleadings to the Shen Criminal Division again, hoping to seek justice from the government on this matter and tell a clear truth.

As a result, the Department of Prudent Criminal Justice gave a clear answer - the government is not a place to be reasonable, but a place to talk about the law, and the township covenant and civil rules controlled by the local clan elders are the place to be reasonable.

The Criminal Investigation Department believes that Master Qin violated the regulations of the government, and the punishment of the government for Master Qin is also within the regulations and has not been exceeded, and the sentence is appropriate, as for Master Qin committing suicide, this is Master Qin's own business, and the government does not care.

Love the people like children? It did not exist in the Lantian Dynasty.

When the people suffer from disasters, it is his obligation to help the court, just as the people must pay money and taxes to the court, if the government does not fulfill this obligation, the people have the right to sue.

Whoever is responsible is whomever is clearly divided in the law.

Every morning, Mr. Zhang Debang has to eat a meal of fried eel noodles, this noodle must be made by Old Man Qiu himself, it is best to be the first noodle in the morning, so that it can be comfortable.

It's just that after a fight with my wife this morning, I came late, and I didn't eat the first noodles, which made Mr. Zhang even more angry.

Hangzhou people are used to drinking some morning wine, so Mr. Zhang has a bad temper today, he drank a little too much morning wine, and after eating a bowl of noodles, he is ready to take a bath again, okay, this boring morning is mixed up.

Since the imperial court implemented a sanitation campaign, bathhouses have become an indispensable existence in every city and even in every street, and this kind of thing, which was originally popular in the north, spread to the south, although at first everyone was a little ashamed and felt naked. It is undignified to stand in front of others.

However, after trying it a few times, you will fall in love with this thing completely, be boiled in hot soup, and then be scrubbed with a towel to wash the ditches and bumpy places, and after getting a bunch of dead skin, then go to the bottom of the shower head and rinse it with soap and beauty, and the whole body can be lightened by several pounds.

Finally, find a bed and fall down, smoke some cigarettes, drink some tea, eat some dried fruits and chat with the old customers, and the morning time is gone.

"Master Zhang, the little one has got a few Yangzhou skinny horses, do you want to take a look?"

Master Zhang didn't need to look up to know who was speaking.

"Fang San, is there still a Yangzhou thin horse now?"

"Master Zhang needs it, it must be there."

Master Zhang snorted and said, "The Yangzhou thin horse you showed me last time can be called a thin horse?" It looks stronger than a cow, and in addition, if you dare to lead the daughter of the Ming Dynasty to sell as livestock, you are not afraid that the government will catch you and send you to the Western Regions or Malacca? ”

Fang San said with a smile: "Look at what you said, even if you lend Fang Thirty guts, I don't dare to do the thing of selling Da Ming's daughter, it was that girl who came to the door by herself, so she wanted to find a rich family to marry her, and it didn't matter if she was a concubine." ”

Master Zhang sighed and said: "A girl who looks like a bear dares to ask for three thousand silver coins, my lord and I have a lot of money, and it is not this kind of flower, but you sold that girl?" ”

Fang San's eyes widened and said: "Master Liang on Houchang Street bought it, you also know that Master Liang looks the same as you, there are only three daughters in the family, I really can't believe my mother-in-law's belly, so I spent money to sell it, and I heard Master Liang say that it has been planted yesterday."

This time, I can't say that I want to win a man in one fell swoop. ”

Master Zhang scratched his chin with his fingers, and finally sighed and said, "I can't go down." ”

Fang San smiled and filled Master Zhang's tea bowl with water, and whispered, "Master Zhang, the girl who came from North Korea, won't you go to take a look?" Just one word, cheap, two words, good-looking! ”

Hearing Fang San say this, Master Zhang turned over and sat up from the bed, covering himself with a towel. He whispered, "You're so bold." ”

Fang San whispered: "I didn't dare before, but I heard that the imperial court will immediately let go of the policy of foreigners entering the country, some time ago, our Royal Highness the Crown Prince deliberately got tens of thousands of slaves in order to dig the railway from Guanzhong to Shuzhong, and he is ready to use it."

Think about it, the roads in Shuzhong can be built by people? Even if it is to be built, it is also filled in little by little by the human life, this kind of work, where is Your Majesty willing to let the Ming people go up to die, but the railway cannot be repaired, so it is a hole in the national policy of foreign people to enter the Ming Dynasty.

You also know that once this opening is opened, it will be difficult to block it again.

No, the government has come up with a way for foreigners to enter Daming, what is the thirty-year employment regulation, that is, a foreigner can stay in Daming for a maximum of thirty years, and once the number of years is enough, he must leave.

Master Zhang, thirty years...... Think about it, think about it. ”

Zhang Debang is not worried that Fang San will deceive him, the reason why people like him can mix in Hangzhou City is because of a reputation, if he smashes the signboard, he will become a street rat in Hangzhou.

After quickly getting dressed, Fang San used a carriage to pull Master Zhang out of Hangzhou City, although the government didn't care much about this kind of thing, but if you really did it under his nose, the consequences would still be very serious.

On the edge of Hangzhou is the Qiantang River, as long as it is not when the Qiantang River returns to the tide, this big river can be navigated by ships, and the boat that Fang San wanted to take Master Zhang to there did not dock at all, or did not dare to dock.

Fang San took Master Zhang on a sampan and boarded a huge three-masted ship, which was not an armed merchant ship, because Master Zhang didn't see the artillery.

Entertaining them was a man with a gloomy face, and he didn't answer, but pointed to the cabin casually and said: "One hundred silver dollars on the first floor, you can only buy one, it must be my Ming silver dollar, eighty silver dollars on the second floor, buy two at most, and thirty silver dollars for the people in the bottom deck, buy whatever you want." ”

Fang San smiled and took Master Zhang into the stenching cabin.

"The first layer is a Korean woman, who can say a little about us, and the second layer is a Japanese woman, who is characterized by docility, as for those in the bilge, they can't say it, there are men, women and children, according to Master Zhang's wishes."

Just walked into the cabin on the first floor, Zhang Debang and Master Zhang were fascinated by a pair of big sad eyes.

He didn't look at any other woman, or rather, his mind was already fascinated by those big eyes at this moment.

Fang San was such a clever person, seeing that Master Zhang was stunned and looked at the woman who was already a little old, he said in Master Zhang's ear: "Master Zhang, this woman is beautiful, but it is very troublesome, and the price is still expensive, let's take a look at something else." ”

"How much!"

Zhang Debang didn't leave, he asked the price directly, and when he looked at the woman, the woman was also looking at him with pleading eyes.

"Two hundred!" Obviously what he said was a hundred silver dollars, Fang San did not hesitate to double the price at this moment, selling people is different from selling goods, as long as you look at the right eye, you have the qualification to increase the price.

Zhang Debang didn't even have the interest to bargain, he took out a bank bill of two hundred taels from his arms, patted it on Fang San's chest and said, "Quickly release her, this is a fucking dog cage, not a place for people to stay." ”

Fang San put away the bank bills, didn't look at them, and asked the sailor to release the woman from the cage.

"Please, please......"

After the North Korean woman was released, she immediately knelt at Zhang Debang's feet and begged him constantly.

Fang San saw that Master Zhang couldn't tell this North Korean woman clearly, so he smiled and said: "This woman has a female baby, and two old women, it seems that she is also a woman from a rich family in North Korea, she wants you to buy the other three together, and said, if you buy it, let them not separate, and make you a cow and a horse." ”

Zhang Debang saw the appearance of this woman crying pear blossoms with rain, his heart ached for a while, and he looked back at Fang Sandao, who was smiling evilly: "Let you succeed once, talk about the price." ”

"Five hundred!"

Zhang Debang looked at Fang San and said, "Are you bullying your master Zhang?" Can a girl and two old women sell for five hundred silver dollars? Or the damn Ming silver dollar? ”

Fang San'er walked into the depths of the cabin without saying a word, and after a while, he dragged a little girl who was only four or five years old out of it, pinched the little girl's face and said to Zhang Debang: "Master Zhang, do you want to see if it's worth it?" ”

Zhang Debang looked at Fang San and said: "I'm not a brute, my daughter is just this age, I bought this woman just to leave a queen for my Zhang family, what does it have to do with me how good-looking my little girl is, if it weren't for her mother's sake, I wouldn't want it." ”
