Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

In a big city like Runing, there are so many big households that Gaoyou can hardly compare. The big households are inextricably linked, relying on marriage and cooperation to each other, fighting for the strong in peacetime, Chen Baisong came, they It was twisted into a rope.

Since Runing is no longer under the control of the court, they naturally want to take advantage of Chen Baisong.

It is better to kneel down or stand first. Most of them chose the former. They didn't think Chen Baisong would kill them all.

In their view, they are different from the people. The people are pigs and dogs, and they are the people in power who need to win over.

Master Zhang thought the same before entering the camp.

New people in power want to take over a big city, so they naturally need the help of people like them. Is there anyone who knows Runing better than them?

However, most of them are just tough on the face, and put on ruthless words, but gifts are constantly flooding into the barracks.

Chen Baisong looked at the box in front of him and asked the soldiers to open it.

There are more than 30 boxes, sent in by families with different surnames. There are countless gold and silver treasures, exquisite brocades, and a group of women standing behind them. Most of these women are servants in the family. The color is not necessarily good, but in In the military camp, where no women can be seen, a group of soldiers salivates, even like flowers, they can be regarded as gods.

"No matter how hard your mouth is, the money will be given quickly." The soldiers did not understand, "They said so cruelly, how can they return gifts to our general? Isn't this slap your own face?"

Another soldier joked next to him: "You don't understand this? Those big guys must have come up with the idea together, can anyone dare not follow? Afraid of offending other big guys, he can only fight against the general and fear that the general will hate him. Naturally, you have to give gifts to the general in private. These people are like this, treating others as fools."

Chen Baisong picked up a pearl shirt. Pearls are a rare thing. Most people don’t offer many offerings every year, and there are fewer folks. The big family have such a piece, which is enough to make people envy people. The output of pearls is originally small, and it is even more difficult to find from these pearls of the same size and round enough, just such a piece, sometimes you can't buy it with money.

"Runing is wealthy." Chen Baisong threw the pearl shirt back into the box with no expression on his face. "Send someone to invite the patriarchs of these families and say that I want to talk to them and discuss the big plans."

The soldier froze for a moment: "General, what are you doing to give them such a face? Runing has been beaten down. From now on, it will be our South Bodhisattva's territory. What are they? Do the generals go to meet them personally? They are not worthy!"

Chen Baisong: "What nonsense are you talking about, if you ask you to go, you are a general and I am a general?"

The soldier quickly admitted his mistake: "Subordinate..."

Chen Baisong: "Hurry up."

The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and quickly greeted people to go.

Another soldier stood next to Chen Baisong. He had the most smile on his face, with meat on his cheeks, small eyes with a flat nose, and spots on his face. He was not old, but he was shrewd. He whispered, "General, why not Tell them to bring juniors with you?"

Chen Baisong shook his head: "We can't call them all, and we can't shut them down in the barracks."

The patriarchs of those big families dare to come, just to put life and death out of control. If they die, they will occupy the righteousness. Although nowadays whoever has the big fist makes sense, but the good name of the South Bodhisattva spreads far, they really caught this. When the Nan Bodhisattva changes from good to evil, the people will change their hearts. There is more than the Nan Bodhisattva family in the world.

It's better to keep people locked up.

"They don't want to return home and stay in the barracks. Is it our fault?" Chen Baisong said with a smile. "But even though they are in the barracks, their families must be filial. The barracks do not support idlers. They want to stay. Where does the food come from for eating? I don’t necessarily need to raise it?"

The soldier's eyes widened-he always thought that his general only knew about fighting, but he didn't expect the general to have such a city.

Inside the city of Runing, inside the Deng family mansion.

"Father, you can't go!" Deng's father and son hugged his father's leg, crying, his eyes swollen into walnuts, a piece of filial piety can be learned from the sky, his nose flowed to his mouth, and he could not reach out to wipe and cry Heaven yelled, "Father, the surname Chen is a hungry wolf! If you go, he will not call you back safely!"

Father Deng sighed, his gray hair and crutches in his hand were a bit uncomfortable to walk. He needed the help of his servants around him. After his son cried and begged repeatedly, he said, "Send someone over there to invite us. If we don’t go, we have no reason."

The eldest son: "What is the truth?! You are old, it is the time to take care of your life! What truth can be more important than this? If anyone outside wants to say it, just tell them to say it!"

Father Deng looked at his eldest son. He was not so smart, but he was filial and honest. He was at ease and worried when his family inheritance was passed on to such a child. What he was assured was that the child would do what he wanted. A hundred years later, if this child is deceived by someone who has a heart, he will not be able to hold onto this huge family business based on his character.

It's like now, an invitation was sent over there, even if they knew that the front was Longtan Tiger Den, they had no other choice but to jump down.

Father Deng asked his servants to help the eldest son up. Then he said earnestly: "You listened to Dad, that General Chen sent an invitation. It was his courtesy corporal and his good name. If we don’t go, the notoriety will be on our side. By then, he will enter the city and kill our family. Even if he is outside, it is rootless duckweed. If he hasn't restrained it, he naturally has no concerns.

"Do you think that the people of the world, who dare to do it right? But the people of the world, do we dare to do it right? Think about the Zhao family ten years ago."

The eldest son looked in a trance, Zhao family?

Obviously it was only ten years ago, but he can't remember it anymore.

Ten years ago, the Zhao family was at the peak of the sky. Several streets in Runing city belonged to the Zhao family. The Zhao family had the most fertile land on the edge of Runing city. Overturned within ten days.

The building will collapse. No one will shed a tear for them. People watch the excitement and rejoice over the destruction of a family.

How did the Zhao family fall?

At first, it was mixed with stones when serving the porridge.

Many large families have done this before. The people at the bottom have to fish for oil and water, and replace the new grain with uneatable old grain. The difference is carried into the pocket by the subordinate.

Then again?It seems that the beggar refugees are making trouble.

Some people hired beggars and refugees to guard Zhao's door day and night, and throw dung when someone came out.

The Zhao family wanted to catch, but these people ran away after losing their dung and couldn't catch up.

That's all, the Zhao family went out, and some people in the crowd threw dung.

After that, the Zhao family stopped going out.

There are also people in the Zhao family's stall constantly looking for faults. The Zhao family wants to distinguish, but the people already think this family is a villain.

The officials above will not speak for the Zhao family even if they receive benefits from other families.

In the end, the Zhao family sold the shop and land, and went away from home, never coming back.

But people leave their hometowns and humble, leave the rooted land, go to other places, go to other people's entangled sites, how much hope is there to return to the glory of the past?

The eldest son covered his face with his hands. It's not that he doesn't understand this truth. Sometimes a person's tongue is a sharp weapon, and it can also be turned into a murderous knife.

Father Deng patted his son on the head: "Father must go. When he goes, our family has the truth. If Dad dies there, our family can get more benefits. Then Nan Bodhisattva worked hard, not stupid. This principle, so Dad will not die, then General Chen will still treat Dad as a guest."

The eldest son was stupid again, didn't understand, and didn't dare to say that he didn't understand, so he could only lower his head.

Father Deng sighed again: "Listen to Dad, Dad has passed. If he dies, you must wear a linen and filial piety, and let everyone know who father died, so that our family has a reputation and a reputation, even if it is silent for a while. Don't be afraid, you will get up again one day."

"But if you lose your reputation, when General Chen enters the city, our house will be all gone."

The eldest son nodded: "Father, I understand, what do you say, my son will do it!"

In Runing City, not only the Deng family was parting, but the big families all received invitations. They thought about it, and the majority went, only four or five claimed to be sick and could not leave the city.

These families don't need Chen Baisong to act, other families will unite and cannibalize them.

Most of the patriarchs came, they rode out of the city in a carriage, and then entered the barracks together.

Master Deng thought he could see the rumored brutal and ruthless General Chen, but he waited in the tent with a group of old men. Not to mention General Chen, even the soldiers around him could not see him, only the small soldiers in the barracks. Against them.

It doesn't matter, the little soldiers don't talk to them, they will deliver food to them when they arrive, and they will take them to Lhasa if they want to.

But they didn't dare to ask—everyone wanted to live longer.

Now that he is dead, he doesn't seem to get any benefit.

They didn't dare to shake their faces at the soldiers and put on airs.

They still understand the truth that people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

Master Deng sat on the wooden bed, covered with the quilt he had brought, holding a cup of hot water in his hand, panicked, but didn't dare to show it, he could only sit down and sit down.

The elders of other families were a little greedy for his quilt. As they were older, young people thought it was right to be lukewarm or not, but they still felt cold.

There was no quilt for them in this account, and they had to be cold if they didn't bring them.

"Master Deng actually brought a quilt, which is more careful than we thought."

"I just don't know how Master Deng thought about bringing a quilt."

"Could it be that General Chen already had a head and tail?"

Master Deng's face turned green, and he quickly said: "It's a child who is worried. I am old and my son bought it for me. If you don't dislike it, please come over and cover your legs."

He knew that if these people were allowed to continue, he would become a traitor. Not to mention this quilt would allow him to build a leg, even if he let it go.

These people have always been like this. If they gather together to condemn someone, and then ask others to announce it, the convicted person will be over.

Or map other people's shops, or map other people's land.

They used this method handily and tried repeatedly, and Master Deng did not dare to confront them.

The family members in Runing City are waiting for news of the old people's death.

When the old people die, they are more confident to negotiate terms.

However, waiting left and right, the news of death did not arrive, but the messenger sent by Chen Baisong.

"Your parents are in the military camp. How can you persuade them to return to the city? It's hard to ask our general to raise people?"

Everyone heard this.

So countless food carts were pulled from the city to the barracks.

Chen Baisong looked at the grains. There were old grains and new grains, but the weight was sufficient. The grains brought by dozens of vehicles were enough for the entire military camp for a month.

Just when the families in the city thought they were bleeding heavily and were so distressed, Chen Baisong's envoy came back.

"Your old man has a good appetite and eats a lot. The food we sent before is gone."

Everyone is stupid.

This is simply to take them out and ask for food.

"Can't give them!"

"Continue to give, they will continue to ask, their appetite is not full! Can't give!"

"What can I do if I don't give it? That's your father. Do you want to be an unfaithful and unfair person?"

"Hundreds of good filial piety is the first, and even filial piety is no longer. You will be the one who will force your father to die!"

"What can I do?"

"Give food? We can only continue to give it. There is not enough property in the family!"

Before the elders left, I hope that the elders can come back safely.

At this time, one by one, they were anxious for their elders to die earlier.

"It's late! No food is given now. It is our family members who will kill them at that time. The food cannot be stopped, continue to deliver!"

Chen Baisong looked at the newly delivered grain truck and asked someone to open it for inspection. There was less grain, but there was more gold and silver instead of grain.

But the role of gold and silver at this time is obviously not as great as food.

He said to the soldiers: "Since they think gold and silver are edible, you go over and tell them to eat it yourself."

The soldiers led the way and took the gold and silver to "buy food" for the big households in the city.

Can they say not to sell?

Although the elders of various families cannot act at will in the barracks, they can eat and drink, and cannot enjoy them, but life can be guaranteed, even if they are sick, Chen Baisong still calls the military doctor to treat them.

Master Deng’s quilt was eventually snatched away. Fortunately, the clothes he brought were thick enough to sleep under the clothes every day, but he felt okay. But when people get old, there will always be various troubles. I'm defecation, and the tent is that smell all day, let alone other things.

Master Deng couldn't stand it after living for a few days. He would rather sleep in the wild than squeeze a tent with these old guys.

It's a pity that he said it was useless, no matter how he begged the soldiers from outside, no one was willing to accept him.

They didn’t know that the family had brought food over, but thought that General Chen was going to give him power, shut them here, and smoothed their hearts. They gritted their teeth and vowed to overcome this difficulty. , In any case, can not shame the family.

Chen Baisong looked at the continuous delivery of food, and finally let go, and asked someone to send quilts to the group of elders. The food was better than before. At any rate, there was meat. Before, he didn’t even have vegetables. Every day was sweet potatoes. And potatoes, these two things are also very sweet to eat occasionally, but you can eat them every day.

"Can't give it anymore!"

A group of people got together to discuss.

They looked indignant: "What is he? He is a bandit! More than a bandit!"

Deng's family son whispered: "I remember that General Chen was born as a bandit..."

When everyone looked at him, Boss Deng was shocked. He shrank his neck and pretended to be a quail. He didn't dare to speak anymore, but still couldn't help thinking, "What kind of cruel pretend here? When you asked for food earlier, none of you dared Speaking, now I want to push a fool to come out without giving me food, who is that fool?"

The room was quiet again. At this time someone said: "We don't deliver food together, I don't believe that he really dares to attack the elders! What do you say?"

"Since An Gongzi said, we will naturally follow An Gongzi."

"Yeah, they bully people too much, they bully people too much, we can't always be led by them."

"Exactly, they are sure that we will not ignore the elders. We will no longer deliver food. I don't think they dare to do anything."

"Okay! Then don't send it!"

When Mr. Deng returned home at night, his wife brought the boiled sober soup and asked in a soft voice: "My husband has discussed in the past today. What results can be negotiated?"

Boss Deng took a sip of the sober soup and shook his head: "I want to treat others as fools. How can there be so many fools in the world?"

Wife inexplicably: "What do you say?"

Boss Deng shook his head and said, "If you say you don't send food, you can wait and see and see which one doesn't send it."

When the day of delivering food came, Boss Deng didn't want to confront everyone, so he asked his servant to send him out of the city late at night. Now the guards of the city gate are Chen Baisong's people, and they are not afraid that other families will know.

As a result, when the servant who delivered the food came back to report, he said that when he was out of the city, he encountered a lot of food delivery trucks. Although I don't know which ones they belonged to, they were not less than the previous food delivery trucks.

Boss Deng laughed loudly at home: "I said it would be weird if these people have the courage to not give it away! All of them are waiting for others to come forward, so what else to discuss?"

The wife said with a sad face: "There is no food at home, even the old Chen Liang from previous years. If this continues, we can only buy food."

But buying grain is not so easy. The grain is in the hands of the big households. If the big households are out of grain, is it possible to find the people to buy it?

Even if the people have food in stock, they can't save much. At most, it is enough for a family's rations for a few months. If you really sell these rations, can you starve to death?

Boss Deng lowered his head: "Continue to send."

The wife raised her hand to wipe her tears, her eyes were red: "Husband, you should not do it for the family, but also for the children. If the father-in-law knows, he is not willing to confuse everyone..."

As long as they are willing to pay for food, they can always buy food, but after their family has no food, only money is left. If there is no money, what is left?

In the end it will not be defeated.

Boss Deng looked at his wife: "It's no longer something we don’t deliver. Believe it or not, if I don’t deliver food today, tomorrow the group of soldiers will rush into the house and give me a charge of unfilial piety. The money and food at home, even the shop and the land, can’t be kept! Even life is gone!"

The wife looked at her husband blankly: "It's so..."

Boss Deng smiled bitterly: "I originally thought that General Chen was a reckless man, but now it seems that we are too stupid. Even if we report the illness, we shouldn't ask Daddy out."

Wife: "...but everyone went..."

"The ones not going...now..."

Boss Deng looked at the night outside the window with a bleak heart. If he saves his father, his family will be defeated, and he may not be able to save him.

If you don't save your father, you can't escape. You will die if you advance and retreat. You can only choose how to die to be decent.

Boss Deng learned the next day that there was really a family that did not deliver food. This family is not very decent in Runing. There are too many large families. This family can only be regarded as a small fish. There is no official official among the family and relatives. Some money, the family business cannot be compared with other families, I don't know how it is considered, it really is not given.

Although it was not sent, it was not troubled.

The big households in Runing City seemed to have received some messages, and they really started not delivering food one after another.

Chen Baisong did not send soldiers to make trouble.

"Let me just say, may he really dare to do anything? If he really kills the old people, the saliva of the world can drown him!"

"That's right! Now that we don't deliver food, isn't it nothing?"

Boss Deng didn’t dare not give it away. He lived in his father’s hands all his life. He didn’t dare to think about what his father would do if he was really dead. He could only ask people to continue to give it away secretly. Detour after the curfew.

Fortunately, I still picked it up from the barracks.

Boss Deng’s wife did not understand him, and neither did his brothers and sons.

Isn’t it all right if others don’t send it?Why does our family continue to deliver?There is no benefit if you send it, and there is no harm if you don't send it.

But after all, they are the elders, and they are connected by blood, so they dare not really open their mouths to stop Deng Boss from delivering food.

One month later, Chen Baisong finally made a move, and the army entered the city and copied all those who did not send food.

As soon as the charges of unfilial piety were released, the soldiers arrested the people and sent people away from all the paved fields.

"Master!" People scurrying in the courtyard.

Boss Deng was already a little unsteady. He heard the news, and he was flustered. Although he had sent food, he was afraid that General Chen would take this opportunity to copy their Deng’s house as well. Will someone come to Deng by then? Is the family pleading for justice?

Just when Boss Deng was in a panic and didn't know what to do, the soldiers walked in.

The soldier with fleshy cheeks smiled and said to him: "Our general said, Uncle Deng is very filial, as a model, and this tells us to send Master Deng back."

"Those who are unfilial are detained now, so I have to ask Uncle Deng to bother and visit them from time to time. With you as a model, teach them more about filial piety. What do you think?"

What else can Boss Deng say?

What can he say?

I can only stand there nodded stupidly, and said nonchalantly: "Naturally share the worries for the general."

The soldier encouraged him: "There are not many households in Runing now. If Uncle Deng is interested, please walk with our general more. When that time comes, we will deal with those troubles with our general and win a good name. Isn't it beautiful? "

Boss Deng swallowed: "Let the general send it."
