Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

"Master." The round-nosed little boy held a broken bowl, crying so much that his face was muddy with tears and nose. The blouse he was wearing was covered with mud, his fingers were red with cold, he hiccuped with a twitch, and he couldn't speak smoothly. , "No, I didn't want to arrive, hiccup, don't give, hiccup..."

Lin Yuan saw that this little guy was about to cry, and he said quickly, "Come here and sit down."

With that, Lin Yuan unfolded the broken quilt he was wearing, and hugged the young man in. The wind was strong in the ruined temple, and the two masters and servants relied on this bed to resist the cold and keep warm.

It has been a week since Lin Yuan walked through, and he didn't move much during this week, so he couldn't move.

The original owner is the son of a landlord in the north. The landlord’s property is quite large and has a foresight, but he can’t get rid of the great cause of the local family. So he found his only son and gave a large sum of money to let him go to the south. Go to buy some property, buy some land, some tenants, and then buy a village. If the situation in the north is not good in the future, there will be a destination at home.

However, the old landlord had countless counts, but he didn't count that his son was a silly white sweet.

It's really silly and sweet. When I left, I brought a small servant and a coachman. I also told my father that if there are too many people, he is prone to disasters, and the north is not stable now, and the family also needs people. , So I convinced the old man.

The original owner read a lot of books, a bunch of saints said, and the father heard that the saints said, come on, listen.

So the original owner embarked on the unfortunate path.

The little boy was twelve years old and still vacant. The three masters and servants grew up in the yard.

Someone knelt down on the side of the road to ask for something, and the original owner gave everything if he could, and he was targeted.

The coachman was strong and voluntarily holding the gangster, no one knew whether it was good or bad.

When Lin Yuan walked in, the original owner was robbed of the slightly valuable things. Because of guilt and regret, and the weather was cold, he had a wind chill when he could not find a place to stay, which was a cold and fever.

Wind chill was easy to kill in ancient times, not to mention that the original owner just left without treatment.

Lin Yuan was also quite embarrassed. The original owner was actually only fourteen years old. In ancient times, lifespan was short. A boy of ordinary people could stand up and set up a family once he was twelve years old. It was a good thing, but the times did not give him the opportunity to be a good man.

Xiao Si was already too cold. He wiped his tears and nose with the back of his hand, but he didn't wipe it clean. His face looked even more embarrassing. He cried and said, "I can't get medicine."

This child is a solid eye. He was born in the Lin family and received education to be a loyal master. The so-called education is actually brainwashing. After more than ten years of washing, the fake has become real.

"Then don't." Lin Yuan touched Xiao Si's head and smiled amusedly: "It's okay, look at me, it's almost better."

Fortunately, the group of people who robbed them were all civilians. They only robbed money without hurting others, otherwise they would have lost their lives now.

Lin Yuan has searched all the things left over in the past few days. He doesn't believe that the Lin family only gave silver ingots and silver tickets. He would hide some cash in the middle of his shirt before traveling in modern times. How could he not prepare for it in this era? ?

However, I searched everything that could be searched and found nothing.

The young man stopped crying. After his emotional breakdown, he realized that he was held in his arms by the young master again. Since the accident, their master and servant ran away in a hurry, only carrying a quilt. Originally, the young man did not touch the quilt. Yes, only for the young master, but when the young master wakes up, he always embraces him.

When I thought of this, Xiao Si began to cry again. How could God be so bad to him if the young master is such a good person!

"Blame me!" Xiao Si started to take care of himself, and said in regret, "Master said it first, telling me to be careful, but I'm not up to date, and I'm tired of young master! Oh, blame me! I have no brains! Long Bai!"

When he said that, he struggled, raising his hand to slap himself.

Lin Yuan quickly grabbed his hand and patted him on the back. After experiencing such a thing, for the boy who is only ten years old, it is probably not much different from the collapse of the sky. He comforted: "It's all right, we Isn't it all right now?"

The young man's nasal voice was very heavy, and he said vaguely: "It's all on me! All on me!"

"Look carefully again." Lin Yuan was about to search again. He took off his coat and even the profanity clothes. He was only wearing a pair of profanity trousers, shivering coldly while looking for the mezzanine.

The young men followed to find them. Although they found them every day, they were always worried that they were not careful.

During this period of time, all the money for eating was Lin Yuan let Xiaoying be the only padded jacket before.

Lin Yuan wore cloth shoes. The landlord’s wife made them by the hands of his master’s mother. The soles are thick and thick. I don’t know how many stitches are needed to get this pair. The feet are warm in winter.

The original owner was born by a girl, and even a concubine is not counted. The birth of this year is equivalent to passing the ghost gate. His mother was only fifteen years old when she gave birth to a child. Her body was originally poor, and she gave birth to a child without even looking at it. went.

The original owner embraced the mistress. The mistress herself has no children. She is from a scholarly family and has no common interests with the landlord. Not to mention that the two of them have the same eyebrows. It would be good if they didn't look at each other. Well, I taught reading and literacy since childhood.

Just because the original owner can write the meeting and is a literate man, his father thought that this son could stand alone, so he entrusted the important task.

When Lin Yuan found this paragraph in his memory, the whole person was speechless. This father is also enough. Reading and doing practical work are obviously two different things!

At this moment, Lin Yuan's inspiration flashed and took off his shoes. Fortunately, the original owner was young and it was winter. He didn't change his shoes for so many days and it didn't smell bad. Otherwise, Lin Yuan really couldn't get his hands off. He took out the insole. , Reached out and touched two.

"Young Master..." The young man said uneasy, "Why are you..."

He wants to ask you why you are crying.

Before asking, I saw the silver ticket that Lin Yuan took out.

In addition to the pattern and seal, the amount was written on it-two hundred taels.

It was 200,000 coins to replace it with a copper plate, which was a lot of money, and the original owner gave a total of five hundred taels, which still paid out everything the family could pay.

The mistress also took out the money from the bottom of the box, fearing that the original owner would encounter any accident.

Mother-hearted!

Lin Yuan, who is an orphan in modern times, has some feelings.

It seems that the task that Old Man Lin gave will not be completed in the near future. First, find a place that is not air-tight to live in, and heal the illness before thinking about it.

As for doing business, Lin Yuan didn't even dare to think about it. He had given up since he knew that this was the Yuan Dynasty and the emperor on his head was Yuan Shun Emperor. He also knew Shen Wansan, a big merchant, who was almost as rich as the enemy. Choosing the right investment target, hug Zhu Yuanzhang's thigh.

The results of it?Not long after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he was exiled to his family and greatly enriched the treasury.

Wasn't Heshen at the back too? Didn't Qianlong know that he was making money or that he was greedy?

How much he was greedy, didn't he all return to Jiaqing?

So Lin Yuan is going to honestly follow what Lin said, buy some land-it's best to be remote, don't fight at your door in a war, and set up a house. Then the whole family will definitely have to come over and make it bigger. At one point, we still need to collect food.

What is the most valuable in troubled times?Gold and silver jewelry?Wrong, food.

The people are the most tossed during the war. The people can no longer cultivate. Naturally, the output of grain is getting less and less. It is common to pick up bark and eat grass roots. Grain is the foundation of survival.

"Master." The young man smiled silly, "Let's change the silver."

Lin Yuan still couldn't walk now, so he could only hand over the banknotes to the little boy, carefully exhorting, "Only take fifty taels, and exchange for two bills, always one."

"Go tomorrow morning, go early." Lin Yuan looked at the dark sky, "It's not safe to go now."

The little servant nodded immediately: "I listen to the young master!"

In the eyes of Xiaosi, the literate young master is much smarter than himself, and the young master knows everything.

Before going to bed, Lin Yuan thought with joy that he can show his skills when he finishes his family business. He will be a hero in troubled times. He will follow in the footsteps of the predecessors and invent artillery, tanks, and airplanes. Collect a bunch of brothers, maybe... maybe... hey!

At this time, Lin Yuan hadn't realized that he was a liberal arts student, and the most creative work he had done in his life was repairing a computer. He hadn't repaired it yet, so he bought another one. For this reason, he almost spent the scholarship.

But people still have to have dreams.

Before dawn the next day, Xiao Si poked his head out of the quilt. The cold wind was blowing outside. The ruined temple could neither shield the wind nor the rain. Fortunately, it did not rain for more than a week, nor did it snow in the south, except It was a little bit colder, it was not difficult to travel, he rubbed his hands, a little reluctant to bear the warm bed.

However, Xiao Si quickly cheered up. He thought that the young master could not walk now, and all hopes were on his shoulders, and he raised a wave of lofty ambition.

Before he left, Lin Yuan asked: "If you run into a gangster, you can give them the paper money, you know?"

The young man is not clear, so: "Can't give it! That's all the young master's money!"

Lin Yuan explained: "You can grab it if you don't give it to them. Can you grab it? Compared to two matches, the other forty-eight taels are the big ones."

Xiao Si lowered his head and said: "I blame me for uselessness. If Brother Chen is still there, those people will definitely not be able to steal Brother Chen..."

Speaking of Brother Chen, the coachman who voluntarily followed the original owner made Lin Yuan feel a little nervous.

Brother Chen is the original owner’s nanny, the nanny’s child. He grew up with the original owner. He is strong, loyal, and close. When he was a child, he still slept in a bed and flicked each other's little birds. Far away.

Brother Chen is five years older than the original owner, and he has no big name, so he calls him Brother Chen, and his elders call him cowdan.

He let the original owner and the young man run away, leaving behind to stop the victims.

act recklessly.

Lin Yuan sighed. The ancients were simple and honest. If you change places, Lin Yuan feels that it is impossible for him to save people with his own life.

The Yuan Dynasty emphasized commerce and did not pay much attention to agriculture. Taxes were the lowest among the dynasties, and only merchants were heavily taxed.

However, the low taxes of the imperial court did not mean that local officials were very clean. They could not live extravagant lives by relying on salary, and could only oppress the local people.

Nowadays there are more and more exorbitant taxes, and the oppression from the landlord class is getting heavier. Many farmers in various places are unable to survive and become victims of disasters. Trying to survive, the plague has broken out in many places. Flee.

Those victims who stopped them and robbed them of their belongings may have been ordinary people who farmed the land honestly and were satisfied with a bite of food.

In order to survive, they indirectly killed a good person like the original owner.

When life is not guaranteed, all morals and etiquette must be left behind.

The author has something to say:

Regarding the Yuan Dynasty, Qiqi said a little bit, in fact, there are still many controversies.

The Yuan Dynasty's taxation of civilians can be regarded as the lowest of all dynasties, and its demise has many reasons.

One: "Pig teammate", Kublai Khan is very respectful of Han culture, and the slogans he shouted are from the "Book of Changes", but after his death, officials were divided into two factions. One faction believed that the country should be governed by his own nation. One faction believes that it is necessary to follow Kublai’s steps and use Confucianism to govern the country. Before the Yuan Shun Emperor, a total of 9 emperors were replaced in 39 years, and the strength of the Yuan Dynasty gradually weakened.

Two: It is the tax issue. Although merchants have heavy taxes, they are limited after all. Large landlords are not included in the merchants. Therefore, many prefecture-level governments don’t have enough money. Officials have low salaries and small officials don’t have much wages, so they are gray. Income oppresses the lower class people.

Three: Ethnic issues, this will not be explained in detail.

Four: The plague that broke out at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Some scholars said that it was actually the Black Death in Europe-it has not been proved by evidence.

Five: Paper money. The emergence of paper money in large quantities has caused inflation, which is equivalent to an economic bubble. The poorer the paper, the more it will be printed. In the end, the paper money loses its function. So the protagonist has to change money now, so that there will be money in troubled times.

Six: Many farmers do not have their own fields. Just like Zhu Yuanzhang, he is a cowherd baby. The cattle belong to the master of the landlord, and the land that the family cultivates is also the master of the landlord. As long as the landlord takes it back, his family will be ruined.

There are many more, but there are several main reasons.

And, Qiqi is also the data I checked. After all, I am not a history student and it is difficult to be perfect. I will write this for the time being, and everyone will take a look.
