I don't know who cut out the thin leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors.

Although the winter has been long in these years, by the end of February, the willow trees in all parts of the south of the Yangtze River have returned to green, and the spring flowers have bloomed, and this poem can be regarded as a suitable occasion.

Winter goes to spring, when the spring is bright, the people of the south of the Yangtze River will naturally take advantage of the convenient water transportation to and from all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, friends get together, dance and write all day long, drink and have fun, this day is also very uncomfortable.

Every spring, the city of Nanjing will always gather scholars from all over the world, they wander in the painting boats on the Qinhuai River, chant the wind and play with the moon in the singing and dancing of the singers, even in the daytime, but also three or two friends meet, in the city of Nanjing and outside the charming scenery of the people and gardens to play.

Xu is because the Qing Dynasty burned down the outer city of Nanjing in order to defend the city, although the outer city did not restore the prosperity of the old in just a few years, but from the first year of Xingqian, the outer city has built several parks, and the Qinhuai River has become a charming place. When the spring flowers bloom, it always attracts many tourists.

On the bank of the Qinhuai River, where the willows are clinging, the stone railings of the trail zigzag along the bank stretch along the bank, and there are stone tables and stone chairs under a row of willows on the bank. Scholars from all over the world often gather here, and at this time, a dozen young scholars are laughing and laughing.

When the breeze swept by, the willows were swaying, and when the scholars here only felt that the breeze was refreshing and clear-hearted, there was a woman in the painting boat on the river over there who sang softly:

“…… How deep is the courtyard? Cloud windows and fog pavilions are often open. The willow and plum calyx are gradually distinct. Spring returns to the Moling tree, and the old people build a healthy city......"

Zhu Qian slowly paced to the willow tree, and listened to the song "Linjiang Immortal, Courtyard Deep and Deep" sung by the Kabuki in the river. This singing, which seems to be singing, joyful, melancholy, and smooth, seems to penetrate people's hearts, and only makes people's hair and beards smooth. For a while, even if his heart was calm for many years, he was stunned.

"Oh, Michiro, but I'm fascinated too."

Wu Mingye listened to it fascinated until the end of the song, when the lingering sound was exhausted, and then he came back to his senses and turned his face and smiled.

"This song should only exist in the sky, and the world can hear it a few times...... Dao Lang is in Nanchang, and he can't hear the little song sung by this Goryeo trick. ”

I saw Wu Mingye looking at the painting boat on the river, and then said with a sigh.

"The Xingqian Imperial Court forbade the people to sell themselves, and the self-sellers and sellers all flowed, and the prostitutes and lowly households have been eliminated, so now, most of the Kabuki Qingqi on the Qinhuai River are Goryeo maids......"

glanced at the boat, then picked up the wine jug from the stone table and took a sip, and Wang Shuren sat opposite him and said with a smile.

"Although Gao Liwen is pretty and lovely, but from the younger brother's point of view, if you say that it is gorgeous, I am afraid that it is still Taixi Maid, which is gorgeous and unparalleled!"

Although Nanchang is located inland, Zhu Qian also knows that the "Taixi" referred to by Wang Shuren's mouth is Europe, and in recent years, the Ming Dynasty has begun to name the world with its own title, rather than completely using European terms, Taixi is the name of Europe in the Han Dynasty. Of course, some people also try to name each continent with the so-called Dongsheng Shenzhou, Xiniuhe Zhou, Beiju Luzhou, and Nandanbu Prefecture.

And this "naming tide" is also the result of the current Ming Dynasty through the sea, it is precisely because of the sea that the Ming Dynasty understands the world, knows that Shenzhou is only a part of the world, and knows the position of the Ming Dynasty in the world. Of course, as a by-product of the sea, the Goryeo maid and the Taixi maid, especially the latter, poured into the Ming Dynasty through various channels, which was not only the inevitability of opening the sea to trade, but also because of the law of the imperial court, which forbade the people to sell themselves with punishment. This directly led to a shortage of slaves and maids in the Ming Dynasty, and servants can still be hired if there are not enough slaves and maids, but what if there are not enough prostitutes? Earlier, there was also a department of education, but later the official prostitutes in the department of education were also assigned to overseas immigrants, so that they were reconciled.

Since there is a demand, there will be people who will camp it. Five years ago, the first ship of Goryeo maids was sold at a high price in Nanjing, starting from the Goryeo maids, and then to the Taixi maids and the color women of Tianfang and other places, they were brought to the Ming Dynasty by merchants from all over the world, and now the Taixi maids and the lust maids have even become the pillar industries of Britain, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and other countries.

Although those lustful maids do not understand Chinese Mandarin, they only need to be trained in the Qinglou for a few years to be able to speak fluent Mandarin, and the exotic style, especially the graceful figure, will always arouse the interest of men. Even in Nanchang, in the past two years, the color maid has become more and more sought after.

Seeing that Zhu Qi smiled and did not speak, Wang Shuren continued.

"Actually, we can hold the Gaoli maid on the left today, and sit on the color of the girl, all of which is the blessing of today, if there is no trade world today, how can we enjoy such a world of beauty, you see in this green building, the color of the woman in it to practice singing and dancing, we and other laymen are just full of selfish desires, all for fun."

"Haha, you layman, stay in the Qinglou all day long, teach the color maid to practice singing and dancing, what kind of fun do you say?"

Wu Mingye laughed.

"How is it not fun, I am just waiting for the blessing of the present, in the eyes of the younger brother, we can really feel the emperor's grace."

The people around him burst into laughter. Some said.

"Haha, that's not exactly what happened."

Others followed.

Just when everyone was laughing, Zhu Qi's brows furrowed.

"Don't you brothers think it's disrespectful to say such words?"

There was dissatisfaction in Zhu Qi's tone, and a scholar with a mouse beard also stood up and said with a smile.

"Brother Wang Xian broke this today, that is, to be happy, we will have fun......"

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhu Qi again, and then said.

"Besides, this is also an affirmation of today's merits, if there is no sea trade today, I am afraid that I will be Ming, I really can't see the graceful and graceful of the beautiful maid, do you want that waist ......"

The rat's whiskers learned to look like a maid again: he first shook his waist timidly, which was the "belly dance" that the goddess was best at, and now it was the most popular among the green buildings.

"Brother Wu, can you learn this belly dance like a little brother?"

Wu Weiye, who was drinking tea, was so amused by him that he squirted out all the tea in his mouth, and said with a smile.

"Like, like, that's what it looks like......

After everyone laughed, Wu Weiye glanced at Zhu Qi again, he noticed that Zhu Qi's face was already with a trace of anger, and when he thought of Zhu Qi's other identity, he immediately said.

"Okay, okay, don't make such jokes, after all, it's really disrespectful to involve the king."

"Great disrespect? Who does that have to look at? Today? ”

Wang Shuren shook his head and said.

"There is a way that the king regards his ministers as grass mustard, and the ministers regard the king as an enemy, and now he regards us and other scholars as grass mustard, and we do not regard it as an enemy, and it is already benevolent and righteous!"

The reason why Wang Shuren said this was entirely because of personal reasons, his father was the king of the Qing Dynasty, Yongji was the Jinshi of Tomorrow Qijian, and the official was the governor of Jiliao. In the second year of Shunzhi, he was recommended by Song Quan, the governor of Shuntian, and awarded the Dali Temple. After that, it was smooth sailing in the Manchu officialdom, and he died in Beijing in 16 years. Shunzhi to Wang Yongji industrious, ordered to give preferential mercy, gave Shaobao and the prince Taibao, the Ministry of Shangshu, according to the example of a funeral, erection of a monument, shade a son, and the shade is Wang Shuren.

And then ...... There was no more, and then, the Wang family was condemned as traitors, although they were exempted from exile, but their father's grave was flattened and listed as a traitor monument, and the blow to Wang Shuren, even until now, is difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart. At this time, he said "grass mustard", referring to the fact that scholars have not been reused since the Xingqian Dynasty.

"Isn't that exactly the case, although I have made great contributions to my China today, but I am confused by traitors, abolish the thousand-year-old imperial examination, abandon my scholars, and use all kinds of excuses to take away the fame of my scholars, so, it is really not the work of Renjun!"

Wu Weiye's words were extremely cautious, his father was Wu Meicun, who was sent to Jiangbei to inspect the salt tax by the national surname, but who would have thought that he would be sent back to Nanjing because of an incident, and died on the boat on the way, and it was inevitable that there would be quite a lot of complaints about His Majesty.

"Our scholars are secondary, if the people are exploited by the government today, but no one speaks out, this is what we should care about!"

As soon as the rat-bearded man's voice fell, Wang Shuren immediately said,

"But it's not exactly like this, since ancient times, the world's benevolent monarchs, all encourage the people to reclaim the famine, so, the people can get their food, the government can get profits, but now it is the opposite, the world's rivers, fields, mountains and forests are all official, private reclamation flows, even if the people have no land, they can not reclaim the famine privately, otherwise it is thousands of miles away, if the people suffer, how can it be done by the benevolent monarch."

As soon as his words fell, someone over there immediately echoed.

"It's just that the government is just for the sake of land, if the people have no land, they can only rent official land, and take 30% of the land rent every year, so how can it be compared with the land endowment, you didn't see the household department at the beginning of the year that the land endowment was only more than 16 million taels in the district, and the official land rent was as high as 34 million taels, which is twice as much as the field endowment."

"Substituting land rent for land endowment can be regarded as my initiative to rejuvenate the Qianchao!"

When the words of praise and ridicule fell, the people around nodded yes one after another, and some people echoed in while saying yes.

"Isn't it my initiative to rejuvenate the Qianchao, and besides, haven't you seen it? The so-called primogeniture, in fact, is nothing more than looking for tenant farmers for the official land of the world. ”

"Oh? Why did Brother Shengde stop? ”

When asked by everyone, the rat-bearded man said quite proudly.

"Do you think, the fields of the common people's families belong to the eldest son, and if the second son wants to live, he can only go to the official field, so that the government will have tenant farmers to farm for him from generation to generation, more than 30 million taels? If everyone in the world is a tenant farmer of the government, how can the imperial court earn hundreds of millions a year? ”

His words only surprised everyone who seemed to be complaining, they had never thought about it in such a way, and there was indeed some truth in hearing him say this.

Wang Shuren's eyes flashed, smiled, and then asked.

"It's a pity that the people of the world only talk about the merits of today, how can they ever have the people of the world in mind? Who wants to cry out for the people of the world! ”
