Chapter 337: Hu Sanqi's Story 3

Thirsty, tired, and hungry, he lay outside all night, and if he hadn't kept his nutrition well on weekdays, he would have died like those homeless people.

However, after he was woken up, it took him a while to discover the source of the sound, but when he heard only one sentence, he was completely awake: "Really, those military masters of the imperial capital are really troublesome, everyone is dead, just find a place to feed the dogs, we have to force us to dig a pit, and wait for each dead dog to have a cloth to wrap the corpse, so much cloth, enough to marry several daughters-in-law." ”

"Come on, people help us kill all the landlords who want to destroy our whole family, it's already an unspeakable kindness, it's not like people will do whatever they say, anyway, it's for nothing, it's ridiculous, obviously the military master said, Qiu didn't commit any crimes, and we weren't allowed to rob women, but those women still ran to commit suicide, it's really ......"

"It's hard to be forced, it's clear that their family is trying their best to kill us."

"A few of you, hurry up and work, at noon, the adults of the martial arts team will divide the land for us and issue the title deed, if you don't work hard, just wait to get out."

After saying that, several of them also desperately dug pits, and then used a board cart to bury the corpses wrapped in thick cloth one by one, and tossed for a long time before they went back to Zhuangzi with a smile.

After a while, Hu Sanqi walked over in a daze, knelt on the obviously huge mound, and gradually understood what was happening.

He screamed in pain, but he fell to the ground, looked at the marks of the mound, but he threw himself over to dig up the mound.

He himself was hungry for a long time, and he hadn't drunk water for a long time, and his strength was small, and he dug for a while, except for making his hands bleed, nothing changed, and suddenly there was a stir, and it turned out that there were people chattering and discussing happily in the distance, but it was about the division of land, according to the saying of those martial arts teams, the division of land should be drawn, some of which are local and some are not from other places.

Although they are all native to their hometowns, they all want to stay in their hometowns as much as possible, but they can't survive, and they still care about anything, but what are those soldiers talking about, where are Vietnam, Taiwan, and the three feudatories.

Of course, the martial arts team is a life-saving benefactor, is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, although it is very apprehensive to draw lots, but that is a matter of fate, people also said, the treatment is the same, the lottery to the field of reclamation, each person 200 acres of land, are good to cultivate the fertile field.

There are also food, soap, etc. sent from the imperial capital, good things that have never been seen in a lifetime, better than those landlords' families, and I really want to go to the imperial capital to see it in the future.

They were busy burying the dead body deeply, but they didn't notice Hu Sanqi who was bleeding and tearing in the distance.

Hu Sanqi kowtowed to the pile of dead bodies, at this time he knew that he had no chance to find the bodies of his parents and family, but he swore frantically in his heart that he would kill all the enemies of today and the masters of these enemies, that is, the rebellious thieves in the imperial capital.

My family is just going to kill people, but these sluts refuse to be killed by our family, they all deserve to die!

Hu Sanqi returned to the county seat, at this time his money was robbed, naturally there was no other way, begging at the door of the restaurant, people already knew at this time that the Hu family Zhuangzi had completely taken someone else's surname, not to mention the ruins of the family, if he was contained, it was likely to attract the attack of those who occupied the land.

In recent years, there is not harmony between the landlord and the landlord, so although many people are sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox, but to be honest, what does the Hu family's affairs have to do with others?

Not to mention how Hu Sanqi struggled to survive at that time, although his uncles were all bad, but the mind of the rescue soldiers was still very sufficient, although there was almost a 300-mile journey from Linyi to Qufu, but the bandits of the Tofu Imperial Capital Martial Arts Team, now except for a few bandits who could not be reached, under the indiscriminate killing, the bandits and robbers from all walks of life have almost disappeared.

If the elders only give and do not take, and only help to suppress bandits and do not collect taxes, then the literati of all walks of life who have already kept literati lackeys in captivity will definitely write countless articles that praise merit and virtue, and boast that the elders are boundless saints.

Of course, the tax is not collected, and he will not pay a penny, and he would rather hand over the tax to the local officials than pay the tax, which is the favorite behavior of the late Ming scholars to flaunt and reveal their identity.

The Ming Dynasty was too crazy to engage in the noble and lowly martial arts, and the government was so weak that the kidneys of the famous scholars were too bad, and as a result, all the scholars in the world were spoiled.

Throughout the ages, from Qingliu to the Donglin Party to the "Five Cents", it seems to be a routine: they are only responsible for playing with their mouths and playing with their pens. Keep blaming others for their shortcomings and mistakes, keep smearing others, and elevate yourself. The self-proclaimed role model for all the people in the world, it seems that as long as they get the official seal, they will immediately clear the Haiyan River, the world will be peaceful, and the people will be happy. If they can't do it after they seize power and come to power, or even make the world worse. I'm sorry, it's just that you need to wait for the people to endure the labor pain, but whether this labor pain lasts for a few years or generations, they don't say. Anyway, the Buddha once said that an instant is the same as 10,000 years, so you should have a pain for 10,000 years first.

For these literati, the standard of "people" in their eyes is very high, and basically only the gentry with meritorious names can be regarded as ordinary people. The rest can only be ants who have the obligation to feed them after paying taxes on their food. No matter how many ants starve to death, it will not damage their reputation, which is the same as the high caste of modern India, the whole of India's more than a billion people, but in their eyes less than 100 million can be regarded as people.

Of course, this almost anti-human ideology is backed by a lofty existence, and those who proudly claim to be well-educated, no matter what era they are, claim that only those who read the Four Books and the Five Classics are considered pillars, even if these things are useless for governance, but the truth is the truth that lies are repeated a thousand times, and everyone knows it.

After a family member dies because he stole something from a neighbor's house and miscooks it, he carries the body to the door of the neighbor's house, and there must be someone in it and the mud.

We must repay grievances with virtue and be generous.

Anyway, no one cares if it's black and white.

The founder of this family, maybe the original learning was not like that, but for thousands of years, he has been kidnapped by all kinds of unscrupulous literati and scholars, and it is itself a doctrine that creates a reasonable argument for slave owners to enslave others, but in later generations, it has been deeply poisoned and difficult to quit.

"Why don't men be lackeys, sell the fifty states of China, please read the textbooks, and leave a few heroes famous? People say that history is written by future generations, and future generations do not remember ancestral hatred...... Five Hu Chaohua no one remembers ......"

A certain big family homestead in Qufu is in fact a continuous huge building, covering an area of dozens of acres, it can be said that in later generations, this place that was originally a place to guard the mausoleum has become the majority of the population is descended from this family, which can be said to be a unique status!

Historically, this family can be called a thousand-year-old traitor family, in Chinese history, the so-called royal industry is not partial, therefore, whoever occupies the Central Plains, who is orthodox, as for where the Central Plains is, naturally it is probably the Yellow River Basin provinces as the most important, ancient Kyushu, probably so.

Later, Kyushu was torn apart, and the mountains and rivers were chaotic, so there was a saying that whoever has the jade seal of the country is orthodox.

And after the disappearance of the jade seal, the standard of who is orthodox has become who has the allegiance of this family and who is orthodox, which is why in the era of the Anti-Japanese War, the most elite killers surrounded the vicinity of Qufu, for fear that they would defect to the Japanese invaders, otherwise they could only destroy this family humanely.

Even later, this family's style is not a good person.

Anyway, as soon as there is a war, you must pay attention to the tendency of this family to defect to foreign enemies anytime and anywhere, always pay attention to culling, and it is best to destroy all the doors!

The family enjoyed terrible privileges, and they had no responsibility but to ask and take, and even in the years of famine, they could exploit the tenants even more intensively.

The most ridiculous thing is that after thousands of years of continuous separation, the local people in Qufu are more or less stained with the blood of this family!

In the next generation, it is the anger of those who have been exploited for thousands of years in this family who smashed things!

A school is extremely magnificent and elegantly decorated, and all kinds of porcelain, calligraphy and painting are even good things with a history from many years ago, but the clothes worn by the white-bearded old gentleman are not simple official clothes, and they are obviously also high-grade characters in the house.

He continued to shout emotionally: "Why don't you take Wu Hook and betray Guanshan Fifty Prefectures...... When you grow up, you must remember the purpose of your clan for thousands of years, you can skip eating, but you can't help but be ready to offer your new master at any time, this is the only choice for my parents to keep their wealth and nobility. ”

At this time, Yan Shenggong himself and the prince were serving the new master in the imperial capital, and when they were leaving, they excitedly promised that the old people in these clans, once they were deceived in the imperial capital, they would puff up that old face and sing the praises of the reputation of the new court, of course, even if this kind of reputation is murder and arson, they will sing praises for a thousand years, Kangxi can become Kong Fansen, Yongzheng can become ***, just take a look.

Imagining what kind of reward the rich imperial capital would bring, the old man was excited and said, "After class, sing the class song." ”

A group of low-eyed, expressionless, zombie-like children stood up and sang without emotion: "Everyone says that it is good to be a traitor, the benefits of a traitor cannot be forgotten, the gold leaf of the clothes cannot be used up, and the beautiful woman has no worries in the homestead......"

The old man was naturally very satisfied, he usually managed the Confucian Mansion with etiquette, and what he paid attention to was to be polite no matter what he did.

Here, the master calls the slave by his name, and the slave calls the master "Grandpa" and "Miss", regardless of whether the slave is gray-haired, whether the master is milky and not dry, there are no exceptions, but if the slave is also surnamed Kong, and the seniority is much higher than the "Yan Shenggong", this matter will be troublesome, under the Confucian Mansion, there are quite a lot of tenants and slaves who were originally their relatives, and they also flow the blood of Confucius, according to the principle of "father and son" of Confucius, the master not only can not call their milk name, but also should be called the grandfather! However, according to the principle of "only the superior is wise and the lower is stupid" of the same Kong Lao Er, the master is born to be the master, and the slave is only worthy of being a slave, what should I do? Confucius is worthy of the "Holy Descendant", so it added another provision: all slaves with the surname Confucius will be forced to change their surnames; Inside the gate of the Confucian Mansion, only the master's surname is Kong, and others are not allowed to offend!

Because Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period was very particular about funerals, the Confucian government held funerals, strictly followed the funeral rules of the ancestors, and forced all tenants to mourn together, and they were not allowed to marry during the period. However, if someone dies in the family of a slave of Confucius, it is not allowed to cry, wear filial piety, show any traces of mourning, or even die in their own home, because the slaves mostly live outside the walls of Confucius, so as not to flush the "auspicious" atmosphere of Confucius. is the same funeral, but the master and the slave are so different, this is Kongqiu's "no courtesy".

The Confucian government also stipulates that when a slave replies to his master, he must not appeal to his own reasons, let alone "offend" in the slightest, otherwise, he will be beaten lightly and seriously injured. When serving the master, the slave must bow his eyebrows and never look directly at the master, otherwise it is also a crime of disrespecting the master...... There are so many of them, at least they are almost the same as the palace maids who serve the royal family in the Forbidden City. But the palace maids who serve the royal family in the Forbidden City still have the treatment of being able to marry on their own once they reach the age of twenty-five (although in feudal society, when the girl's family reaches this age, most of them can't marry any good people, so they can only be grandmothers), while the maids of the Confucian Mansion have to follow so many stinky rules all their lives, and they must not be exceeded at all.

For the masters of the Confucian family, these red tape, which are full of "aristocratic style", naturally means the decency and demeanor accumulated by history. But for the inferior people who serve them, it means countless unnecessary troubles that only make people feel headaches and nausea.

Since ancient times, Chinese peasants have had to use their own labor to cultivate the land of landlords, nobles and royal families, and dedicate more than 40%, 50%, 60%, 70% or even more than 80% of the harvest to the landlords, nobles and royal families.

And the Confucian Mansion is a family of great nobles and large landowners who have been hereditary for more than 70 generations. Under the banner of sacrificing Kongqiu, it extracts countless rents of grain and silver from thousands of tenants every year, and the amount of "legal" exploitation alone accounts for as much as 50 to 60 percent of the harvest.

The land rent of Confucius is known as "10,000 years of rent", that is, the rent of his family is used to sacrifice to Confucius, which is related to the "blood food of the Holy Ancestors", so "the harvest year will not increase, and the bad year will not decrease", and it will remain unchanged for 10,000 years. In fact, "the harvest year does not increase", just because it has knocked the bone and sucked the marrow, there is no more increase, and "the bad year does not decrease" is its original intention. What's worse is that the tenants paid rent to the Confucian government, and in addition to the "positive" rent, there was also a lot of additional exploitation. The most characteristic of Confucius is the "bucket tip" and "land" in the rented grain. The so-called "bucket tip" means that the grain will emerge when the rent is paid and the bucket is raised. If the tip can no longer be sharp and flow down to the ground, it is called "land", and the tenants are not allowed to take back the tip and the land, and they are occupied by the Confucian Mansion and distributed to the dog's legs to top the "grain and rice".
