Chapter 1315 Methods
"What do you mean, Your Majesty? Has he never seen money in his life? He just collected double taxes and the military resistance tax, and now he wants to collect exemption money. What do you think of us? We are not making money." , Where did you get the money to give him?!
Sixth brother is right, the emperor is really poor and crazy. He is trying to make money from us poor people. Fortunately, he can think of it and he is not afraid of thunder!
Someone immediately echoed: "Yes, the emperor is so wicked. We have all given him the old money. Why is he still not satisfied? Now he still wants our lives?!"
"Zhang Youcai, what the **** are you talking about? Are you looking for death?!" Da Sheng came with the Yamen servants from the Department of Military Affairs. He pointed at the people who gathered to speak ill of the Emperor and said: "You short-lived ghosts are tired of living. Well, if you dare to chew on anything, if you dare to say one more thing, I will take you to the county government immediately and chop your heads off!"
As soon as these words came out, most people were afraid, and some of them said young and arrogantly: "Master Sheng, it's not that we disrespect the emperor, we really can't live this life..."
Bang bang bang, before Zhang Youcai could finish his words, his father who was selling farm goods at the street stall rushed over and grabbed his ears. He beat and cursed: "Zhang Youcai, you are looking for death. You don't even say what Master Sheng said." Did you hear that? Your Majesty, is that what you can say? If you want to die, I will chop you up now, lest you kill the whole family!"
Zhang Youcai was hiding while shouting: "Old man, I know that you feel sorry for the boss the most. The one who dares to join the army is not the boss. You are not panic at all, are you? I'm telling you, I'm quitting. If you want me to do it, The whole family is going to die, I will burn down my house first to let you know how powerful I am!"
Bang, bang, bang!
Zhang Youcai's father picked up the pole and hit Zhang Youcai: "Little bastard, can you still bear it? You want me to know how powerful you are, right? OK, I will let you know how powerful you are first!"
Zhang Youcai was beaten badly by his father. If Dasheng hadn't stopped him in time, Zhang Youcai would have been beaten to a disability.
Dasheng held the Zhang family's pole and said: "Old Zhang, stop fighting now. Where is your own son? If he is disabled, he will have to spend money for medical treatment. If he is beaten to death, your family will have one less member to serve as a soldier." , your eldest or third child will have to take over."
"What Mr. Sheng said makes sense, then I will spare his life." Lao Zhang said breathlessly, looking at the cracked pole, he cursed in distress: "You stinky boy, you have harmed me." I broke a pole at home. When you get home, go chop some bamboo for me and make a new pole, otherwise I will beat you again!"
Zhang Youcai almost cried to death and shouted: "Ooooooooo, Old Zhangtou, are you my biological father? You want to beat me to death, I tell you, I'm not done with you!"
After saying that, he kicked Lao Zhang, but he didnt dare to actually kick him, so he turned around and ran away.
Lao Zhang yelled at him: "You bastard, shut your mouth tightly. If you dare to bring trouble to the family, I will never end it with you!"
Bah, Im the one whos done with you! Zhang Youcai turned around and yelled at Lao Zhang, and ran away quickly for fear that Lao Zhang would catch up and beat him.
Old Zhang glared at Lin Xiaoliu fiercely and cursed: "It's all the evil words you said that ruined my family's wealth!"
Lao Zhang often brought his son to the town to sell agricultural products. Almost everyone in the town knew him and his temper. Lin Xiaoliu was afraid of being beaten by Lao Zhang, so he hurriedly hid behind Dasheng and said: "Lao Zhang Uncle Zhang, you cant blame me for this. Its the emperor who wants to recruit soldiers. You are the second richest boy in the family and you are not favored. When I heard the news, I felt that he was definitely going to join the army. Thats why I was so angry... Its both strange to blame. You can't even hold a bowl of water on your own."
After saying that, he rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and hurried away.
"You bastard, don't let me meet you!" Lao Zhang was furious. When did he tell his second son to become a soldier? The second child hasn't gotten married yet, and he doesn't even have a queen. How can he let him die?
However, the emperor wanted to recruit soldiers, and no one dared to disobey. Lao Zhang asked Da Sheng: "Master Sheng, if you don't join the army, do you really have to pay five taels of silver? Can it be less? Is it two or three taels? Or? Ill give you some first. After the New Year and the family has new income, we can make up for the money. Others nodded after hearing this: Yes, yes, Dasheng, its not that we are unwilling to give these five taels. We really have no money left at home. The money we owe to Doou Bank has not been repaid yet, and we need another five taels of silver. How can we have so much money?"
Moreover
We are farmers, not military households, why should we go to war?
Dasheng said: "This is the emperor's wish. We all have to abide by it, otherwise we will lose our heads."
Someone boldly asked: "Master Sheng, why does the emperor have to recruit troops to fight against the Rong? We have already lost, and hundreds of thousands of people have died. If we don't fight, we will still lose?!"
In Dafeng Village, He Tianwa's wife also asked the same question, and she added another sentence: "If we don't fight, we can still keep the men to produce seeds. If we fight now, will all the men in Dachu die?"
Village Chief He pointed at He Tianwa's daughter-in-law and said: "You know nothing about a woman. You can still decide whether or not you want to beat the Rong bandits? Now it's not us, the Chu, who wants to fight the Rong, it's the Rong who wants to fight us." Okay, if you dont understand, stop talking! Besides, the eldest of your three sons is not yet twelve years old. Its not your sons turn to go to the battlefield, so youre just joining in the fun!
Then he pointed at He Tianwa and said: "Tian Wa, take care of your wife, is she a man? You let your wife take the lead every time. What nonsense are you talking about? You won't say it yourself?!"
He Tianwa was wearing an old cotton-padded jacket, curled up her hands and feet, and said to Village Chief He with an apologetic smile: "Yes, yes, yes, village chief, don't be angry, I will give this woman a good beating when I get back to let her know the rules."
After saying that, he glared at his wife, who looked like she was trying to protect her shortcomings as much as possible, which made Village Chief He so angry that he lost his temper.
He Tianwa's daughter-in-law is a well-known shrew among the younger generation in the village. However, since the naughty old lady was eliminated, He Tianwa's daughter-in-law has become a lot more honest. But this time it is related to her son's life and death, and she can't sit still. He said: "Although my eldest son is less than twelve years old, the emperor's ability to fight is very poor. What if my eldest son still can't fight back the soldiers when he is fifteen years old? Then my eldest son will have to become a soldier. Got it!"
Village Chief He scolded: "If you can't bear to leave your eldest son, then let your men serve as soldiers. The Emperor said that all men from fifteen to fifty can serve as soldiers. Otherwise, you have to pay five taels of silver as exemption money." .
He Tianwa's wife is choked, give her some money? That would cost her her life!
As for the man, she was reluctant to part with him. After much deliberation, she thought that she might as well give up one son since she had given birth to many sons.
After Village Chief He saw that He Tianwa's family was honest, he said to everyone: "I've called you all here today to tell you a way. This is an old way passed down from our ancestors to avoid military service. Don't tell others. Do it quietly."
