Chapter 731: Happiness Gives Birth to Sorrow

This old man was really surprised, the official was just to enter the inner city and kowtow to the emperor? If it were so simple, then there would not be so many official dialects with local accents in this court. Didn't the one who was the official want to kowtow to the emperor? Why didn't you learn the official language?

“…… Respectable, respectable! Knowing kindness is the work of a noble person......" The old man praised, and then asked, "...... Can you get to this level in a month or two? It's hard to believe...... your family has a heart...... "The old man was surprised that he could learn this level of official language in a month or two, and he was even more interested in this.

"I can't be praised by the old gentleman, in fact, we are immigrants, we have lived in the capital, we have learned the official language, and life is always more convenient, in fact, it is not all for entering the inner city to kowtow to the emperor......" The old woman quickly explained with some pride.

The old man was even more emotional, nodded for a long time, and said: "Speaking of which, Your Majesty, this immigrant, is indeed benefiting all the people and surviving countless great feats, it is not easy, it is not easy!" ”

“…… So, your family of four came out today just to enter the inner city and kowtow to Your Majesty? The old man remembered something and said.

"Yes." The old woman replied truthfully.

"Oh, that's the case, it's good to say, the old man is also going to the inner city, why don't we go together, there is no place in the capital where the old man can't go, if someone stops you then, the old man will come, make sure you can enter the inner city......," the old man assured.

"Thank you, sir. Then there is Mr. Lao......" The old woman hurriedly thanked her, originally their family had a lot of preparations, and there was a great chance of success, but if someone guaranteed that they would be able to enter, it would be better, and there was no need to be afraid, after all, the place to go was the Imperial City Root.

"It doesn't have to be. If you don't dislike the old man's trouble, the old man has something to ask you......" said the old man.

"Don't dare. If there is anyone who can help the old gentleman, the old gentleman can ask. The old woman was so happy to see that the old man was so imposing.

The old man had been talking about the official language all the time, but he had put other questions aside, which made the young woman a little anxious. Finally, things took a turn for the better, but the old man seemed to have forgotten what he was, and wanted to mention his own affairs to the old man, but it was difficult to speak. Seeing that the old man was going to the inner city together, his heart finally relaxed.

In a short time, the old man's entourage stopped a carriage. This kind of carriage. The front and rear rows of seats face each other, can seat five or six people, and are four-wheeled "rental" carriages, which run faster than ordinary public carriages. It is also not limited by the route, and it is charged according to the distance of the road, which is considered an ancient taxi. [It is said that in ancient times, there were also taxis, called Jiri drum cars.] 】

The family of four sat on one side, and the old man and his entourage sat on the other side, and the driver asked where to go, and with a whip, he set off.

After the carriage starts. The old man's chatterbox was opened.

"This four-wheeled carriage, speaking of which. It's still more comfortable to sit on than a two-wheeled carriage. It's hard to stretch your waist, kick your legs or something, it's hard to ......," the old man boasted about the carriage. Riding in a two-wheeled carriage has certain requirements for the position and posture of sitting, unlike a four-wheeled carriage.

"The old gentleman is right, we came all the way from Shaanxi, and we all relied on these four-wheeled carriages to carry it, otherwise, it would be impossible to come to the capital, and the capital is also a thousand miles away from here...... "The old woman replied very decently.

"Luckily, luckily,...... Hey, this four-wheeled carriage has indeed worked...... "The old man sighed, and looked at the young woman again, the young woman's eyes have been wandering anxiously, the old man has already seen it, thought about it, and felt that it was better to get down to business, if you talk about anything else, I'm afraid that someone won't like it." …,

“…… By the way, I almost forgot about business, just now, the old man heard that your little lady wants to study and learn arithmetic? The old man brought the topic back to the point.

"This ......," said the old woman, hesitantly.

As soon as the young woman heard the old man talk about her own affairs, her face immediately showed a look of hope.

"It's a good ......thing to have the heart to read and learn knowledge," the old man said, and as soon as he said it, he remembered the ...... of comprehensive education that those people were presiding over and promoting, which cost millions of taels every year.

This reading and literacy is indeed a good thing, and everyone reading and literacy is indeed a concept that the sage has been working to, but this is really a good thing if everyone reads? No, this woman also has to study, learn knowledge, and change her fate through knowledge, which makes the old man's thinking confused.

The emperor is a strong supporter of this matter, and allocates millions of taels every year to do this, which is praised by the people of the world as a great event in the literary world for thousands of years. But this old man felt that where the emperor vigorously supported things, there will always be some unexpected results in the end, and the result will always have many immeasurable effects on the Ming Dynasty. Is it a good thing? Or is it a bad thing? Where is this Ming Dynasty going?

Thinking of the controversy that has been arguing in Shilin, I am even more confused, this fact that everyone has a book to read is indeed a great event that has fallen for thousands of years, but this result is really so beautiful? This woman is all studying, and she dares to come out to find something to do, doesn't that mean that this woman can also be the pillar of the family? Can you also rely on your salary to support your family? What if women also ask to be officials in the future? What kind of country should this be? Thinking of this, the old man shuddered to himself.

This thing is really evil, is it better to maintain the current situation, or is it better to realize the idea of a saint? The old man was even more confused.

The people in the carriage saw that the old man was in deep thought, as if he was thinking about something, but no one disturbed him.

"Accuse, accuse, the old man is distracted......" After the old man woke up, he immediately apologized.

A family of several people. It was a hurried return salute to this distracted old man.

“…… I heard that your little lady said that she was going to Liulizhai to be a female tent room, right? Once again, the old man emptied himself of other things in his mind, and concentrated on it. The things he was thinking about just now were so ridiculous that it was better to throw them away.

"This, yes......" Faced with the old man's inquiry, the old woman had no choice but to answer truthfully, this old man looked. Not an ordinary person, judging by his demeanor. Most of them are officials, not officials, but also have a great relationship with officials, in short, a person with quite a status.

This is a good thing. The big shopkeeper of Liulizhai is always known to be a woman, and it is reasonable to recruit some women to be the accountant, otherwise. The ...... that woman will always be criticized if she is not kissed, but there is nothing dirty in this. At this point, there is no need to worry, it is not a shame to go to Liulizhai to be a women's tent, but a great ...... of creation" The old man began to get down to business, and for Liulizhai, the old man didn't know what words to use to express his feelings. But there is one thing that needs to be certain, that is, you must not speak ill of Liulizhai. This is related to the reputation of the saint, and naturally it cannot be said by others.

"The old gentleman has learned the lesson. The old body shouldn't be suspicious. The old woman quickly apologized.

“…… Speaking of which, the wages given by Liulizhai. It's really quite high, if you can go to Liulizhai to work and do a bookhouse, it will be considered great......" The old man said with some envy. What I envy is not how much silver Liulizhai can make a tent every month, but I envy that Liulizhai is not an ordinary rich, and can support half of the Ming Dynasty with his own strength. …,

A family of four really listened to the old man.

“…… If you want to make a tent in Liulizhai, you really have to learn to read first, and secondly, you have to learn arithmetic, and you have to be able to dial the plan, which really needs to be taught......"

“…… But, it is said that the method of bookkeeping in this Liulizhai is different from others, as for how to keep accounts, this, go to Liulizhai, people there will naturally teach you, this is not to learn, and there is no bookkeeping method elsewhere, so in fact, as long as you learn to read, arithmetic and plan to disk...... "The old man began to tell the story. To say that the relationship between him and Liulizhai may not be very familiar, but it is by no means unfamiliar, this Liulizhai is in Beijing City, it is definitely a thing that everyone pays attention to, there will always be a lot of novel things and things, and it is not okay if you don't want to pay attention to them, let alone people like them, even if you are far away from Liulizhai, even if you don't want to listen to things about Liulizhai, it is impossible.

The family listened earnestly.

“…… Just now the old man heard your little lady say that he wanted to borrow the hands of girls to learn literacy, which really moved the old man, the old man is also a scholar, the family was also quite poor, and he suffered a lot in order to study, but compared with your little lady, it is nothing, for this reason, the old man is also quite emotional, so he has the idea of talking to your family,...... The old man felt that as a disciple of a saint, he should not abandon the thoughts of a person who is a saint in his heart...... "The old man said with emotion, and explained the reason why he got involved, in addition to this, there is also the matter of great debate in Shilin now, whether the whole people are reliable in reading, whether it works or not, whether it is right or wrong, this question has also been bothering him, and suddenly heard a woman say that she wants to read, and it is a bizarre way to read, and he sighed, and suddenly connected the two, I had the idea of seeing what would happen to the woman after she read the book, so I got involved.

"Old gentleman......" The old woman was even more sure that the identity of this old man was not ordinary, and he was poor in reading in his early years, which means that he is now successful in studying, and he is no longer poor, and he must be a nobleman. After listening to what the noble man said, I don't know how to reply.

The young woman looked at the old man even more eagerly. His fate seems to have taken a turn for the better again.

The sturdy man was also quite moved, listening to the old man's words, he had met a nobleman at home.

“…… In fact, the old man is not easy to come forward, if it is a man, he can go to school in a random place, but your little lady is a woman,...... It has always been extremely difficult for women to study, and it doesn't matter if they are young, they really haven't heard of it when they are still studying at such an age......" The old man's words turned around, and it seemed to be the opposite of what he said just now.

When the woman heard this, she immediately became depressed.

When the man heard this, he was also quite worried.

But when the old woman heard this, she was generally worried, and half happy.

“…… However, it is not impossible, the old man is willing to point out a way out for your little lady, the old man is in the capital. I also know a lot of people, many young ladies from other families, when they were young, they also wanted to read and learn arithmetic, so that they could be in charge of the family in the future, so in addition to inviting Xixi from their own family, there are also attached schools. If your little lady is willing, the old man can recommend your little lady to go to a school with female dependents. You can let your little lady audit in the name of taking care of the female dependents, so that while taking care of the female dependents, while listening to and reading, there is a job to support the family. You can learn knowledge again, I don't know if your family is willing to ......," the old man stroked his beard and said with a smile. At this time, he wanted to see more how a woman could change her fate through knowledge, if she could prove something through this matter. Perhaps there is a good explanation for the much-debated reading controversy in Shilin today. …,

......The old woman was completely confused, and on the one hand, the nobleman was willing to come forward to introduce a good job to his daughter-in-law, and she could also read and write, and learn knowledge; On the one hand, there is the fear of his daughter-in-law after she has learned knowledge.

The young woman was full of happiness. This time I went out to meet a nobleman, not only to get a good job, but also to audit and learn knowledge, which is simply too good to be good.

The sturdy man was happy, but also worried, happy that his daughter-in-law finally got what she wanted and could read and write, and worried that his daughter-in-law would not be worthy after she finished her studies.

The old man looked at the old woman with unshirkable eyes. It seemed that he knew that as long as the old woman said yes.

The old woman was in a dilemma, if she agreed. The fate of his daughter-in-law will be completely changed. If you don't agree, I'm afraid that my family won't be able to live in the future, and the daughter-in-law doesn't hate herself to death, thinking about the filial piety of the daughter-in-law over the years, the old woman can't open her mouth to refuse, touching the eyes of the old man, and the old man is looking at herself with an unshirkable gaze.

After repeated hesitation, the old woman finally made up her mind, and said: "Then there is Mr. Lao, I don't know the old man's surname, I don't know if I can tell ......" The old woman finally couldn't say the words of refusal, and the fate of the daughter-in-law was out of her control again and again, and she deviated from the original trajectory step by step.

Now, since you have met this nobleman, let it be all according to fate.

"Mother......" The young daughter-in-law couldn't help but call out happily. Dream one step further.

The stout man also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his daughter-in-law lovingly.

"Hehehe, the old man has a cheap name, don't mention it......" the old man said with a smile.

"Thank you, sir......" The old woman got up slightly, a little blessed, as a thanks, the old man did not want to mention her name, and she did not ask any more. The family also immediately followed up and thanked them.

"It's not necessary, the old man is just providing an opportunity, as for whether your little lady can learn or not, it depends on the ...... of creation" The old man smiled heartily.

The family continues to be grateful.

The old man solved this matter, and asked about other things, such as where he came from, the local products, customs, the disasters in the past few years, and the work there, how much he could get a month, whether the work was hard, and his current life.

……

The carriage passed the Xuanwu Gate lightly and entered the inner city.

Pass through Xuanwumenli Street and go to West Chang'an Street.

"Your family wants to kowtow to Your Majesty, and you must be grateful to Your Majesty for saving your life, which is done by a person of noble character, and the old man admires it very much,...... Originally, your family was not able to go up this Chang'an Street, but today when you meet the old man, the old man will take you to walk on this Chang'an Street, go around the imperial city, and fulfill your wishes, as for the matter of bowing, wait until you see the imperial city, and then find a secluded place for you, bow with peace of mind, and the old man will be a good person to do it to the end...... "The interest of the old man is still very high, and he can meet such a family of immigrants, and he can get a lot of very intuitive things from their mouths, and I think it is very useful."

"Thank you, old man......" The family immediately thanked, today is indeed to meet nobles, not only brought them into the inner city, but also to take them around the imperial city, this is indeed a good thing that is difficult to meet.

……

The carriage trotted under the imperial city, and the old man's butler had already sat outside, presumably to send off the officers and soldiers patrolling the city.

The family, however, looked carefully at the imperial city through the glass. In this, it is their great benefactor, the emperor. …,

After the carriage circled around the imperial city, it began to look for a quiet place again. I'm going to kowtow to the emperor and go back.

As soon as the carriage turned into a more secluded place, it heard a noise in front of it, and the carriage stopped.

The family wanted to go out, but the old man stopped him, and after waiting for a while, the old man's entourage came back and reported: "Master, there is also a large family of immigrants in front." They were going to Liaodong, and they deliberately managed to sneak into the inner city. I didn't want to, but I got into a conflict with the officers and soldiers who patrolled the city, and they wanted to take their family for the crime......" replied to the attendant.

"Oh, how could this be? Why did the officers and soldiers take them for their crimes? The people came to kowtow to His Majesty, which can be regarded as a manifestation of the people's love for His Majesty, and it is also a love for the king. How can the good deeds of the loyal monarch send others to prison? The old man was a little unhappy.

The family became anxious, and this is a little different from what was said in the "raiders", doesn't it mean that the officers and soldiers are at most driving away? Why do you have to go to jail?

"You wait a while, the old man will go and see......" The old man was very unhappy and said to the family. I got out of the car.

The family looked at each other, since the old man had already explained not to get out of the car, then don't get out of the car.

……

In other words, Zhang Xiaowu feels that the recent days have been particularly unlucky, not to mention that the weather is getting hotter and hotter. All day long, there are ordinary people who come out of nowhere around the imperial city to kowtow to the emperor to thank him, which makes them nervous, for fear that there will be a thug or something, in case something happens, they will not be able to eat and walk around.

Originally, this matter was to inspect more inspections and take care of more things. A little more expulsion, a little more hard work for them. It's not a big deal.

The enthusiasm of the common people is not good, so they do not kowtow. However, some people are too enthusiastic and don't just kowtow. Also with the "tribute", if the "tribute" is some fruit cakes or something, put it on a swing, make a show, kowtow and leave, it also seems formal and sincere, but if someone uses a pig's head or something, then it will be a big bad luck, this will make the battle bigger, three knocks and nine bows not to say, it will also cause others to watch, this is not the most outrageous, what is even more outrageous is that someone wants to burn fireworks, such as burning incense, burning candles or something.

Zhang Xiaowu can still tolerate the first few, the first few, if you find out that the kneeling is over, that is, the expulsion, if you meet someone who knows how to do it, and filial piety, you can add some impetus to this hard inspection, but if you encounter the latter kind, then they must exercise their authority and drive people away, because the battle is too big, there are many people who are alarmed, and if something happens, they can't bear it, so they must exercise their duties, they don't want to smash their jobs.

This is not the most outrageous, today is finally the best, not only tribute, but also fireworks, and the most outrageous burning of "paper money". This is simply lawless, this emperor is not dead, you are going to burn paper money for the emperor? Isn't this a curse for the early death of the emperor? Thinking of the seriousness of the matter, Zhang Xiaowu was so shocked that he hurriedly threw himself into the fire......

Zhang Xiaowu led the sergeant to extinguish the burning pile of "paper money", flying around, and a few of the burned confetti were pasted on Zhang Xiaowu's face, and together with sweat, Zhang Xiaowu's face was spent.

Zhang Xiaowu had a dark face, taught a few words to these people, and found that he had listened to these people for a long time, looking at their appearance and dress, they were definitely Han people, and then described from their mouths, knowing that they were from Shaanxi, this must be an immigrant, but they didn't know that it was the person in the corner who did such a superb thing, and used "paper money" for the living, and they couldn't figure it out. Thinking of the object of their burning of "paper money", or the current saint, Zhang Xiaowu's sweat couldn't stop flowing out.

After talking for a long time, there were more and more onlookers, and the crowd of onlookers accused these people of burning paper money indiscriminately and asked Zhang Xiaowu to restrain him, Zhang Xiaowu felt that he was unlucky, if he didn't care about it, it was not good to pass it on to his boss, after all, this group of people burned paper money for the emperor, but it was definitely not a good thing, and the language was not clear, who knew if they were cursing the emperor? Anyway, this group of people seems to be immigrants again, and now it is the people who love Your Majesty to kowtow, if it is too strict, it will hurt the hearts of the people, it is also a difficult thing, if someone impeaches them, he will inevitably be used by his boss as a guilt. …,

Zhang Xiaowu secretly hated this group of people who didn't know that they came out of that corner of the mountain, they hadn't seen the world, they didn't say anything, and they didn't understand the rules.

"What's wrong? Why is this place so noisy? ”

An official voice, Zhang Xiaowu instantly heard the taste, they did this, the most eye-catching, for who is the official, who is the official. It's the clearest thing to do.

Looking up, he happened to see an old man coming, and Zhang Xiaowu immediately looked for who this person was in his mind. Useful information was quickly retrieved, and he was waiting to say hello.

"No need, go out in plainclothes today, it's inconvenient to be commensurate with your official status, just call the old gentleman......" The old man immediately gave Zhang Xiaowu a look. Tell him not to reveal his identity.

“…… Big ......, old man. This, here's the thing, this group of people is estimated to be immigrants from outside, it seems to be from Shaanxi, who sneaked into the inner city to kowtow to the emperor. The little one wanted to expel the matter, but this group of people not only kowtowed, but also used tribute, but also started fireworks, and the most outrageous thing was to burn paper money, but they made all the mistakes that should not be made. Now the people outside are watching, claiming that they are cursing His Majesty, not letting them out, and taking them to Yousi to ask for guilt. The little ones are also in a dilemma! Zhang Xiaowu said with a sad face. Running errands on this hot day is really hot, and the slightest movement is sweating. As he spoke, his face was covered with beads of sweat, mixed with the black ash on his face, and his face was even more flowery.

"Oh, is that so?" The old man saw the sweat on the face of the little leader of the official army in front of him mixed with black water, and explained to himself in a black way. I want to laugh.

"That's true, sir. Little thought, this people have received the favor of His Majesty. Thousands of miles to the capital, kowtow to Your Majesty, it is also considered that the people love Your Majesty, we are not good to drive people away like this, so as not to hurt their hearts, but there are always some people who are not sensible, kowtow is okay, and you have to use tribute, you say that you use tribute and use tribute, but what is this burning paper money! Our Majesty is now young, and this paper money is ......," Zhang Xiaowu explained with a bitter face. He's really in trouble.

The old man looked at the funny face in front of him and explained to himself, and almost laughed out loud, but then he felt that it was inappropriate again, and immediately stopped laughing. This is indeed a serious matter, Your Majesty is only twenty years old, and he is young, so he will burn paper money for the emperor, even if he loves it, it will not be like this. This is really too much love, what is the difference between this and cursing others? It is no wonder that the people of the capital want to surround them and not let them go, and now His Majesty's prestige is also quite high in the capital.

"Wait for the old man to ask......" The old man thought about it and decided to intervene in this matter, I am afraid that there is something strange about this matter, he has encountered it, so he can't help but ask.

"Yes, old gentleman...... "Zhang Xiaowu is eager for someone to come over and take over this matter, this matter is not pleasing to both ends, and he must carry the black pot, and throw it out just right."

The old man stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

This group of people who burn paper money, some old and some young, seems to be a big family migration, otherwise they can't afford to buy such a rich "tribute".

After asking a few times, the old man also felt a little headache, this local dialect was mixed with a few official dialects, which was really difficult to understand, except that they knew that they were from Shaanxi and immigrants, and the others could not be understood.

The old man had no choice but to ask his entourage to invite the family in the carriage, and the official language of that family was okay, and it could be said that the words were correct and round, and they must be able to make a bridge of communication.

The family was stuffy in the carriage, and they didn't know what was happening in front of them, but they heard that they were kowtowing, and they were scared. Seeing that the old man's entourage was coming, he was more stable, and when he heard the entourage say that he wanted to be an interpreter, he immediately got out of the car and came over. …,

With this family translator, the origin of this group of people was immediately clarified.

This group of people is really a person in a certain corner of a mountain in Shaanxi, due to the continuous drought in recent years, the harvest in the family field has been reduced year by year, and the income is beyond the means, and the money and grain accumulated over the years have gradually been consumed, so it was decided that the whole clan moved, spent some money, bought a piece of land in Liaodong, and prepared the whole clan to move over. Therefore, if I want to make it more grand, I know that this prostration has just been carried out, and it was "destroyed" by the officials and soldiers, and then surrounded by the common people and not allowed to leave, which scared these people.

Originally, they also invited a person to lead the way, but when the leader saw an official or military coming, he immediately ran away without a trace, and they had to communicate with the officials and ordinary people in words that they didn't understand.

As for the "paper money" they burned, it was really not "paper money", according to them, but they asked someone to copy the scriptures, burned them, and used them to pray for the emperor's well-being, and they heard that the more solemn the thanks, the better, so that they could appear sincere, to appear grand, in addition to the three animals, all kinds of tribute, it is best to burn some scriptures, so that the gods and Buddhas can bless the emperor. They listened to others. Seriously buy these things, buy things very generously, and burn scriptures is also generous.

"......I see," the old man sighed when he heard this, and sighed ignorance, not knowing that it was the immoral man who did it. This matter is really difficult to do, and it is not appropriate to cure the sins of a family. It was only because of gratitude to His Majesty that such a grand ceremony was held. It can be regarded as devout thanksgiving, but if their sins are cured, what will the other people think? I am afraid that it will hurt the hearts of the people; But if you don't care, how do you look at this act of burning paper money for the emperor. Definitely a big sin.

Zhang Xiaowu looked at the old man hard, hoping that the old man would speak and finish this matter quickly, if anything else was involved, it would be even more difficult to end, and they would definitely be punished for the crime of lax inspection.

"This matter has to be judged by His Majesty! …… So be it. These people, you write down their household registration, write down where they live, and wait for the old man to play Your Majesty. Let Your Majesty ...... the Holy Judge" After hearing this, the old man came to the conclusion that the emperor had to take care of this matter himself, and no one else could do it for him. All he could do was play it. The old man felt that according to the emperor's personality, the result of this matter would probably be over, and there were many people in this family, and the emperor couldn't get angry if he wanted to. But. This process still has to be done, after all, the emperor is involved.

"Little obedience!" Zhang Xiaowu was relieved. Since this adult has spoken, it is none of his business. The stone in my heart finally landed.

Zhang Xiaowu got the order, and acted quickly, wrote down the household registration of those people, wrote down where those people lived, and then told them not to move around at will for the past few days, and then dispersed the crowd and let them out.

When the crowd saw that someone was in charge, the matter was over, and the people quickly dispersed.

The crowd dispersed, the old man thought for a while about today's strange thing, I don't know that the person who lacks virtue has bewitched these people who have never seen the world to do such evil things, and after thinking for a while, the old man sighed again, putting aside today's incident, in all dynasties, and the emperor was so loved by the people? Thinking about Fang sneaking into the inner city and running to the root of the imperial city to kowtow to the emperor? He also solemnly engaged in "tribute", this thing is really unheard of, he has seen and experienced things in the past few years, far more than the sum of the things he experienced decades ago.

"Your family is also here today to bow to Your Majesty, this place is spacious, so let's bow here, and it is good to fulfill the thoughts in my heart......," the old man commanded. This location is a better location, with a relatively wide view, shade, water, and the imperial city wall a little farther away. …,

"Mr. Xie......" The family of four thanked them. Looking at the posture of this old man, he should be a noble man with a lot of background, and with this old man watching, their family can kowtow to the emperor with peace of mind.

The old woman then took out the "tribute" that had been prepared and put it in front of her respectfully, and this tribute was a little troublesome to take out, as if it was wrapped in layers of cloth, as if there was still oiled paper. After the old woman placed the "tribute", she then led the whole family, knelt respectfully in front of the "tribute", kowtowed to the imperial city, bowed three times and bowed nine times, silently made wishes, prayed, and was sincere.

Although the old man was very old, his eyes were not bad, and he could see from a distance that the "tribute" of this old woman's family was a household register.

The old man had only heard of using three animals, fruits, cakes, wine and other things to place "tribute", but today is the first time I have seen someone take the household registration as a "tribute", this practice is not only to make the old man's eyes shine, but also to make the old man have infinite emotion.

It seemed that after a long bow, the family got up and came over to thank the old man again.

"Huh" The old man exhaled a long breath, his heart was chaotic, and all kinds ......of thoughts were very complicated.

"Your family is ingenious, others use fruits and pastries as tributes, but your family has a user registration, isn't it, this household registration is so important?" The old man asked with a lot of feelings, and the old man felt the need to ask again about the other ingenuity of the family.

"Back to the old man's words, when I was in Shaanxi, Mr. Zhang told me to wait, with this household registration, whether it is working or farming, or other, the emperor will always take care of me, will not abandon me and so on, the old family, the emperor of Quannai lived, the emperor's words, we naturally want to listen, now the old net worth has found a job in the capital, it can be regarded as a settled body, to survive in this year, it is not easy to be close, this household registration is naturally to be kept, I heard, without this household registration, even the salary is less than others... The old woman immediately explained to the old man earnestly.

"Oh. I see......" the old man nodded and said. This is nothing new, immigrants from the Ming Dynasty have always had to carry household registration, and those who do not have household registration are black households. There is also a distinction between household registration and non-household registration, and the old man also knows this. This is not uncommon in the capital or even in the north. It's just that I didn't expect that the common people would take a small household registration so seriously.

“…… By the way, where do you live now? The old man will ask someone to inform you after the matter of your little lady is done......" The old man is very worried, and after he is ready to explain this matter, he will be a good person to think about today's affairs quietly.

"Back to the old man. ......" the old woman immediately gave her address.

"Okay, the old man has written it down, and the matter of your little lady will be notified to your family when the old man finds a suitable school...... old man said.

The family thanked them again, and since they had fulfilled their wishes, it was time to go back. So he said goodbye to the old man and went back.

The old man looked at the place where the special "tribute" household registration was placed before, and it seemed that there was still a household registration there, and then looked at the red wall and green tiles of the imperial city wall in the distance. Looking at the sky higher up, I felt a lot of emotion in my heart.

……

Following.

Yang Gengai turned to a notebook.

It once again mentions the issue of the people kowtowing, and mentions the fact that the people sneaked into the inner city and ran to the root of the imperial city to kowtow.

These things are no longer news, and Yang Gengai has also seen a lot of scripts mentioning this kind of thing, but he didn't make a fuss.

However, today's one. mentioned one thing, someone burned "paper money" for himself under the imperial city. Give yourself thanks.

Yang Reform's face, I don't know if it should be red. Or is it black, the whole person is very uncomfortable, and he scolds in his heart, who is so lacking in morality, and he is not dead yet, so he burns paper money for himself? However, judging from this recital, it is said that the person of the family is from the bottom of his heart and sincerely grateful. Maybe there is really this custom in some corner, worship people as bodhisattvas, the more you want to be sincere, the more you have to burn paper money, pay more tribute or something, this may make sense, but the problem is that with the customs of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what you burn, this is definitely very taboo, you haven't died yet, you have enjoyed this kind of treatment, Yang Reform's face changed red.........

"Big companion, big companion ......" Yang Reform's face is not red, nor is it black, and he called Wang Chengen again and again, I have heard of three animals before, I have heard of burning incense and lighting candles, Yang Reform still doesn't care, in order to be grand, it is necessary to get something, but today I heard about burning paper for the first time, Yang Reform can no longer sit still.

"The slave is here." Wang Chengen hurriedly came in and waited, he had just gone out to deal with something.

"Companion, I heard that yesterday under the root of the imperial city, there was a kowtow to me...... "Yang Reform's face is still red, nor black, when he says this, he will definitely be laughed at, and he is likely to be plotted by the one who doesn't know it, and instigated a family of countrymen who have never seen the world to block themselves.

"Your Majesty, this is a good thing, the people of the world love Your Majesty, so they will spontaneously kowtow to Your Majesty......" Wang Chengen took over the conversation without thinking.

“…… The problem is that yesterday there were some people who not only moved incense, but also burned paper money......" Yang said with a dark face.

Wang Chengen choked half to death, just now he took the emperor's words and said good things about the emperor, and now there is such a play, he is cursing the emperor to die early.

"The slave and maid should die, the slave and maid are guilty, and the slave and maid should be beaten ......" Wang Chengen hurriedly blamed himself, and if he received this too quickly, he would be in trouble.

"The eldest companion doesn't have to blame himself, hurry up and check it out for me, what the hell is going on? I want details, whether this family is sincerely thanking me, or is it cursing me in the name of gratitude, or is someone instigating this family to curse me......" Yang said.

"Slave and maid obey! If you do it, you will definitely give Your Majesty half of the water...... "Wang Chengen's heart is so big that he gritted his teeth, these guys are really lawless, they dare to curse the emperor, they must give them a good look.

As soon as Yang Reform finished speaking, he regretted it, this matter really can't be dealt with casually, if it is not good, it will cause a big disaster, and he has to be cautious about this matter.

"Wait, don't go, don't go...... this matter, let me think about it again, think about it again......" Yang Reform hurriedly stopped it, this matter, no matter what, has already happened, I am afraid that the whole city will know about it, if it is not handled properly, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of trouble.

"Your Majesty...... "Wang Chengen is so angry!" It's a bent on giving the guy who burns paper money a good look, anyway, burning paper money for the living, is there any other way to say this besides a curse?

"Wait a little longer for this matter, don't rush to find that family first, wait until I think of a proper way, this matter can't be handled hastily, otherwise, I will really fall for someone else's trick......" Yang Gengai saw that Wang Chengen was trembling a little with anger, and hurriedly said again.

"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen had to agree, and the emperor said so repeatedly, and he could only agree according to the anger in his heart.

Yang Reform began to think about it, this matter still has to be solved as soon as possible, before, he enjoyed the feeling of the people kowtowing around the city wall, thinking that this is a manifestation of the people's love for themselves, thinking that this is a manifestation of their high prestige. It was not until this incident came out this time that Yang Reform realized that everything should not be too much, this kind of thing should still be dealt with as soon as possible, and it should not be allowed to let the people kowtow to themselves so spontaneously, although it is very cool and enjoyable, but once this matter is to the extreme, it is another scene, the so-called too much, happy and sad, probably this is what it means
