Chapter 730: Tang Sai'er's Transformation
The cobblestone path leads to the deep courtyard, and the huge locust tree stretches up the canopy on its head, like a huge umbrella, covering half of the courtyard.
On the rough trunk of the tree, two lazy cats, one of them did not bark. The former shovel officer was so irresponsible that he disappeared at every turn. So the two cat masters wisely abandoned the darkness and turned to the light.
They looked down at the windowsill not far away, a small table, and two young girls, staring at the manuscript, reading carefully.
"This is the Great Ming Law, how can there be so many?" Lan Xin complained irritably, the laws on the grassland have always been very simple, as long as a sheepskin can be written clearly.
For example, if a nobleman kills a slave, he only needs to pay compensation for three sheep, and an ox can be exchanged for ten slaves, and if he cheats his master, he will have his tongue cut off, and if he steals his master's property, he will have his arm sawed off......
Lan Xin never worried about these decrees, because she was a member of the Golden Family, and she had noble blood in her veins, and she was the absolute master among those slaves and tribesmen.
It's just that in Daming, it seems that everything is different.
"The imperial court prohibits lynching, does not allow the sale of human beings, and does not force good people to become prostitutes......" Tang Sai'er read carefully, and her delicate brows were tightly twisted together.
"This, is this the real Da Ming Law? You can't lie to me, right? But why lie to me? It doesn't make sense at all! ”
She fell into a strong suspicion, and it just so happened that Li Wufang sent a snack to Lan Xin, and by the way, she came to see how she had learned.
"I just think there's too much stuff, why not make it simpler? Chop off the palm of your hand when you steal something, and chop off your thigh when a slave runs away? ”
Li Wufang was not surprised, although Lan Xin was well-behaved and cute, the things she had been exposed to since she was a child were still too different from Da Ming, they were completely two worlds.
"The core of the decree is to educate, except for a few heinous crimes, which must be put to death, the rest of the sins should try not to hurt people's limbs, because once they are cut off, they will never grow again, and even if they have the heart to repent, this life will be ruined. Therefore, for the imperial court, it is to save the people, not to kill the people. ”
Lan Xin held her chin and thought for a moment, Tang Sai'er lowered her head, rolled her eyes, and suddenly whispered, "Yes...... Are you sure? Did the imperial court really think so? ”
Li Wufang looked at the thin little girl, took a deep breath, and said softly: "I know that you may not believe it, and you think that there is malice in the imperial court. No one can deny that in this huge country, there are corrupt officials everywhere, there are many corrupt officials who exploit the people, knock out the bones and suck the marrow, and they are still controlling some yamen, and they are still at ease and doing whatever they want. But can you tell me if there is any way to put an end to all this? ”
Tang Sai'er's lips moved, and finally he didn't make a sound. Li Wuflaw smiled, "Don't you want to say that if Maitreya comes into the world and King Ming is reborn, there will be a Datong world, and from then on, there will be no suffering, only boundless joy, right?" ”
Tang Sai'er bit her lip tightly, a pair of eyes rolled back and forth, Li Wufang suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled up the little girl, "Come with me." They came to the back of the garden, where there were a dozen big fat pigs, basking in the sun.
There is no way, the price of meat is too expensive, and even Liufu has to raise pigs to eat meat by itself, not for anything else, just to save money.
Li Wufang stretched out his hand, shrouded in the direction of the pigsty, and said with a smile: "This place is the Buddha country in my palm, the creatures born in it, only joy, no suffering, away from calamity." Eat well, dress warmly, be safe, and be happy...... I am the master of this world, I give lectures to these creatures, I give them clouds and rain, the sky breaks, I help them to fill them, and I fill them up when the ground is drained. It's just that I'm a god and Buddha, and I invite other gods and Buddhas to visit living beings together, explain the supreme method, and teach them how to get out of the sea of suffering......"
Li Wufang said seriously, Lan Xin couldn't help laughing, laughing so much that her stomach hurt, "Master, you just want to eat meat, why are you talking so much?" ”
Li Wuflawless strained his face and did not refute, but looked at Tang Sai'er with a smile.
The little girl chewed carefully, and suddenly, she trembled and trembled, staring at Li Wuflaw in disbelief, and then rushed to the side of the pigsty, staring at these big fat pigs who were sleeping soundly...... "Is it ...... We are these poor pigs, we have all been deceived? ”
"Maybe it's worse than a pig, right? After all, these pigs sleep when they are full, and what they suffer is only the moment they are stabbed. Tang Sai'er thought of her sister, she was more beautiful, more spiritual, she couldn't learn the embroidery instrument, her sister would be able to get started as soon as she got started, and it didn't take long for her to be very proficient.
She can also write poems and songs, and also know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, if she was born in an ordinary family, she is a standard lady. It's a pity that she fell into the hands of Mingjiao, and they taught her sister these skills to let her seduce those eunuchs, use her skills to get news, and help those Mingjiao's upper echelons escape the pursuit of the imperial court, and continue to enjoy a good life happily.
She didn't have the talent to learn those things, and since she can remember, she has been forced to learn the ability to kill, she has been beaten countless times, and there are always new injuries on her body and old ones.
When she was ten years old, the master who disciplined her hit her with a chair and broke the leg of the chair...... That time she lay in the firewood room for three days, and it was the young man named Lin San who saved herself. He risked his life to inform his sister, who has the ability to set up a famous son.
My sister was forced to die, and she survived.
It's ridiculous, has she been living in a scam all along?
Are they the animals that people raise?
Why do you treat them like this?
Big tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes. She crouched on the ground, sobbing silently, her shoulders shaking. Li Wuflaw knows that this kind of crying is the most hurtful.
She patted Tang Sai'er lightly on the shoulder, and said softly: "I just said that the power of the imperial court is also limited, and the laws of the Ming Dynasty can only try its best to protect everyone, but there is always a place outside the law." Mingjiao is to use these places to survive, they deceive the people, coerce the believers, and use everyone's hatred and anger to grab their own interests, this is their true face! ”
Tang Sai'er sobbed, "Is there no way to deal with them? ”
"Yes!" Li Wuflaw said: "Now the imperial court is doing it, and the imperial court has allocated hundreds of millions of funds to promote learning, promote science, and educate the people in various places. Let young people read and master a skill, and with these skills, they can earn money to support their families and live a stable and comfortable life. ”
"I'm sure you've heard a lot of arguments about wealth and poverty! Born as a human being, why is there inequality between the rich and the poor, why do some people have a lot of land, and some people have no place to stand? ”
"Throughout the ages, there have been people who have used this to encourage the people to rebel, and it has also been quite effective. But my Ming Dynasty is different, Emperor Taizu gave the people of the world a land, suppressed the Haoqiang, and in his later years, he implemented the Juntian Order, and waited until the Yongle Son succeeded to the throne, but also continued to promote, so that the people of the world can fairly own land and bear taxes. This is only a very shallow fairness, and when the education is flourishing, the people will be able to receive education and have a skill. Relying on ability, more work and more rewards, that is a kind of fair ......"
Li Wuflawless helped Liu Chun write and compile the book, and he really knew her husband's ideas too well.
She kept talking, and Tang Sai'er was stupid when she heard it.
Why is the Ming Dynasty she knows so different from what Li Wuflaw said? If it is really like what she said, it is a thousand times better than the Pure Land of Bliss where King Ming came into the world, ten thousand times!
Is this true?
Is it too hard to accept?
"Nothing can be done overnight, what I said is indeed what the court wants to do, and what is being done, Your Majesty's determination to promote change is unshakable. Now Daming, what is most needed is for everyone to stand up, use their own strength, to promote, to change, only in this way, will it get better and better. If you don't contribute yourself, just thinking about sitting back and enjoying the results won't work. ”
Tang Sai'er's eyes widened in surprise, "Everyone? I...... Count? ”
"Why doesn't it count?"
Li Wufang said: "You are still young, and you can take the initiative to tell the intention of teaching, whether it is Fu Guogong or us, I hope you can think clearly, say goodbye to the past, and be an ordinary happy girl,"
Li Wufang's eyes were full of soft light, Tang Sai'er's heart was pounding, those people in the past taught themselves to hate, to resent, to kill, and to kill anyone who was against the Ming Sect...... Maybe they should be the ones who really need to be killed, right?
Tang Sai'er wiped the tears on her face vigorously, and then said to Li Wuflaw seriously: "I want to tell you one thing, I know the whereabouts of that woman, that is, she trained girls to seduce dignitaries, and I can help you catch her...... Does that count as my effort? ”
……
The pace of counterinsurgency of the army has begun, and Liu Chun can receive good news every day.
The Han family in Dongchang Mansion has all been arrested, and Jinyiwei has found the body of Qin Shushi, not only him, but also his wife and two children...... A family of four was all killed.
Those Ming Sect thieves actually hung the corpse of the Qin scribe and used it as a target, and when they took it down, there were dozens of arrows stuck in their chests.
"These abominable brutes!"
Liu Chun slammed the table and said angrily: "Pass my order, all those who participate in the killing of Qin scribes will be killed, and they will not accept surrender!" ”
His men hurried to give the order.
Liu Chun walked around irritably in the duty room, he became more and more clear, the so-called Mingjiao is actually the rivers and lakes, these people are hidden in the three religions and nine streams, they can use the banner of Mingjiao, or the banner of the White Lotus Sect and the Maitreya Sect!
But everything is changing, and only by grasping the core of the Ming Sect can we completely destroy them, but the problem is how difficult it is to catch these people who are more cunning than rats! Liu Chun frowned......
