Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

The officials also have close friends, and occasionally make appointments to drink in restaurants.

Especially when resting.

This year there were several marriages. They all knew what his Majesty cared about. Most of them were not married to the Beijing officials.

Jingguan and Jingguan are still in the minority, and His Majesty did not expressly prohibit it.

What makes them most peculiar is that there is a small official from the 7th grade in the Ministry of Households. He did not choose to marry his daughter, but chose to recruit her.

His daughter became famous among the ladies to be married.

Even if the married ladies say that this is a bad practice, they still feel envy in their hearts.

After all, it is oneself who is in charge of recruiting extravagance. The husband cannot accept concubines or accept girls.

And in my own home, my parents are on my side.

There is no need to marry someone else's house and let the mother-in-law set the rules.

You don't have to suffer many grievances to knock down your teeth and swallow blood.

Obviously they all look down on the practices of the common people, but when they heard that the daughters of the officials' family were recruiting, they could not help but envy while following the contempt of the crowd.

It is rare for Lin Yuan to see him begging for marriage.

The corner of his mouth smiled at Lu Hui standing below. Lu Hui was his former "male favorite", but he was unwilling to be a "male favorite" and had been trying to show Lin Yuan his abilities.

Now he is also a district chief.

Lu Hui was a little nervous. He just mentioned it when he was in the book. He never expected that His Majesty would really summon him.

His sister is going to be recruited. The husband is from a small family in Beijing, whose surname is Meng.

Poorer than the Lu family, after all, when Lu Hui came to the capital, the Lu family sold all the wealth and followed it to the capital.

In their opinion, even being a fifth-rank senior officer in another place is not as good as being a seventh-rank sesame official in Beijing.

The Meng family is a very amazing family. There is no money, and the connections are all maintained by in-laws, so that later they rely on money from their in-laws for their living. Therefore, the Meng family is a family that is willing to have children and prefers girls. The girls married out. You can always get more benefits back to your natal family.

But it is not their decision to have boys and girls, so there are more girls and more boys.

When the girls are all married, the boys can't be crowded in the house. Now the boys are in several rooms.

So after knowing that some officials in the capital began to recruit their daughters, their thoughts came up and they tried their best to "sell" their sons. They also said in dialect that as long as the eldest and second sons stay, all other sons can go out. .

The Meng family is also a family, not to mention how rich and handsome the son he gave birth to, but he is indeed a bit handsome.

The Lv family has only two sons and one daughter. The eldest son died of illness, leaving only Lu Hui and his younger sister.

The Meng family asked someone to go to the Lu family to make peace.

The Lu family also feels that their family members are not rich. If their sons and daughters stay at home, and the children born with the Lu family's name, the family can grow again.

Lu Hui also feels very good.

He is still young, and things in the district are getting more and more day by day. Although he is only a small official, he is busy every day, and he really doesn't have the energy to plant seeds after he is released.

It just so happens that his sister also thinks that Meng Jia Saburo is handsome, and she doesn't want to marry out, and is willing to stay at home.

The two sides hit it off instantly, Lu Hui thought for a while, and raised a mouth when he was on the fold.

I regret it after mentioning it.

What a big deal, I have to tell the emperor.

Lin Yuan thinks this is a good thing. It has always been up and down, and the folks will imitate the above.

Just as the cities around the capital will imitate the capital, since each district in the capital has a planned market, other cities have also competed to build it, but the matter of joining the capital was initiated by the private sector at the beginning.

Officials are willing to imitate the folks, which is rare.

So Lin Yuanci got married.

When Lu Hui walked out of the palace gate, he was still in a daze. He didn't understand what had happened.

How could the emperor suddenly give a marriage?Is he going to be reused by the emperor?

But thinking about it carefully, Lu Hui felt that this was probably his own illusion.

"Brother!" The girl ran down the hallway, barefoot with her hair down, but she didn't look sloppy, and the maids eagerly followed her behind.

Lu Hui walked into the corridor and got a baby in his arms. He had no choice but to say, "Why don't you wear shoes? What should I do if I get cold?"

The girl smiled at him: "My parents told me that I don't have to leave home in the future."

Lu Hui smiled and said, "Brother, I have another good news to tell you."

The girl's eyes widened: "What good news?"

Lu Hui looked at her younger sister. He and her younger sister were almost the same age. They grew up together since they were young. The younger sister was born innocent, and was really not a housekeeper's material, and the squeamishness raised at home really made her marry someone else's house. Wife, his elder brother is worried about her being bullied.

"The Holy Master gave you a marriage with Meng Saburo."

The girl hugged Lu Hui excitedly: "Brother! The emperor gave me a marriage?"

The next morning, the imperial decree arrived, and there were rewards for those who came with it.

The Meng family was also very happy. Their family wanted to send their sons out, but there were always aristocrats outside who criticized them, saying that they had no character and morals. Now that they got married with the emperor, they became justified.

So the family began to persuade Meng Saburo.

Meng Saburo looks good, but he is actually an ordinary family member. Because his family is not rich, he does not have a dull style.

The children of the aristocratic family slapped sideways, but Meng Saburo only said that he was willing to join the family.

Why!

Later Meng Saburo said that because there were too many brothers in the family, he had never had his own study.

I have to squeeze with my four brothers to sleep, and my parents also said that there is not so much money in the family for every brother to marry.

After all, it is a lot of money to be married to other families.

And the Lu family promised him that when he enters the family, he won't have to worry about the family affairs, he just needs to live with his wife.

He can have his own study, the four treasures of his study, and let him read the books of the Lu family. If he wants to go back to the Meng family, he can also go back often. If he wants to take the imperial examination, the Lu family will also help him apprentice.

Meng Saburo cried as he talked: "I'm at home, and all new things are used by the eldest brother. It is our turn to use the eldest brother. The eldest brother has a study room. We can only practice calligraphy in the yard."

"There are so many brothers in the family, they can be filial to parents, even if I become a parent, I am still the son of my parents."

Everyone has nothing to say.

Who would have thought that as an aristocratic family, the Meng family could be so poor.

Sure enough, there are too many children born, and the children can't be raised, food, clothing, shelter, and the four treasures of the study. They need to be a teacher, and they all cost money and spend more than the common people.

Probably because the Meng family is so famous.

Therefore, the aristocratic families have lingering fears and feel that it is best to have fewer children.

I don't know when I will crush my family.

On the day that Miss Lu Jia and Meng Saburo married, the Lu Family also sent someone to cook porridge outside the city.

Some poor people will say a few auspicious words when they go.

Miss Lu Jia was pregnant soon after getting married, and Meng Sanlang got his own study as he wished, which was filled with Lu family’s books. Lu Hui would also take him out to chat with literati when he had time. Lu My parents are also very kind to Meng Saburo.

Over time, Meng Sanlang no longer felt worried, he truly regarded himself as the Lu family.

He even felt that the smartest choice he had made in his life was to join the Lu family.

Although his wife is a little arrogant, she has never despised him because of his patriarchal marriage.

She would praise him for his good handwriting, and praise him for his innocence. When she learned that a friend invited him to visit the mansion, she would also ask people to prepare gifts for their friends.

He has a wife who has gradually become considerate and gentle, and a brother-in-law who is willing to take him out to get to know a wider world.

There are also father-in-laws who have never treated him coldly. Meng Saburo sometimes returns to Meng's house. When his brothers learn about it, they are willing to join the family.

The Meng's parents are also very willing.

After all, there are too many sons, there are too many.

Soon someone boarded the door of the Meng family.

There are also small families in the capital with a small population who are willing to let their daughters recruit.

But it is certainly not possible to recruit the sons of ordinary people, and the aristocratic families are unwilling to let their sons join the family.

So the son of the Meng family became popular.

Lin Yuan smiled when he heard it.

People are like this, regardless of whether it is people or aristocratic families, they are the same when facing interests.

Benefits can change the original rules.

"What are you laughing at?" Chen Baisong brought hot tea over.

He used to behave like a guest in this imperial city, or the kind of guest who might be driven out at any time.

There is no way to hide the feeling of panic.

Lin Yuan couldn't say anything, only let time prove everything.

Now Chen Baisong is more comfortable, except that he doesn't read Lin Yuan's memorials and doesn't touch the jade seal, he has already regarded the palace as his "home".

His mother followed the Queen Mother, and now she is a nanny, and her status in the palace is not low. The queen mother has a good temper. She has long regarded the palace as her home, and she adapts better than her son.

There are also two little court ladies serving her.

His mother often said to him, to be loyal to your majesty, and he will do whatever your majesty asks him to do.

His mother has always persuaded him to get married and continue the Chen family's blood. He never nodded.

After a long time, the mother finally saw her son's thoughts. She had cried and made trouble and told him that it was wishful thinking.

Tell him that one day the emperor will get married, and one day a noble woman will become a queen.

At that time, how should he deal with himself?

Chen Baisong just knelt in front of her mother, bowed her head and said nothing, letting her punch and kick herself.

But since then, all his confusion has disappeared.

"Look." Lin Yuan handed over the paper that had asked him to give him a marriage.

After starting with the Lu family, other aristocratic families who married with the Meng family also wanted to have such a privilege, and they rushed to hand them over.

But Lin Yuan didn't plan to give another marriage this time.

After reading it, Chen Baisong said: "They have too many things."

The tone is slowly disgusting.

He felt that these people were just fine looking for trouble, and Lin Yuan had to let Lin Yuan take care of things like recruiting extras.

"There are a lot of things in the court." Chen Baisong rolled his eyes.

Lin Yuan smiled when he rolled his eyes: "It's all small things."

Chen Baisong expressionlessly: "You sleep two hours a day these days."

Lin Yuan almost squirted out a sip of tea: "You count your nap anyway."

Chen Baisong looked at him.

Lin Yuan sighed and surrendered: "Well, well, I don't care about them, it's their business whether they are willing to join in or recruit."

"By the way, the credential has been issued." Lin Yuan said, "Envoys of various countries should come to Beijing soon."

The credential will be distributed to neighboring countries, and these countries will immediately set off to congratulate and pay tribute.

Said it is a tribute, in fact, the things they send are not expensive-probably expensive in their country.

But Lin Yuan wanted to reward them with more benefits than these things.

Therefore, the small neighboring countries are very willing to pay tribute, and trade can be carried out after the tribute.

There is also a foreign country who will come over this time. This is the most formal opportunity for them to have a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty.

It was also Lin Yuan's opportunity.

"Military and economics." Lin Yuan clicked on the blueprint in front of him. On it were the positions of several tribes.

Lin Yuan also said: "Culture and inheritance."

Chen Baisong looked at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I want to try another method this time."

Methods other than war.

Mongolia is still not home, what Lin Yuan has to do at this time is to be gentle.

But his gentleness is not to let the Mongolian tribes be honest, but to cannibalize them step by step.

In order to prevent the development of Mongolian ministries, generally they will not trade with Mongolia, nor will they marry.

"Call Tutuo." Lin Yuan came to Chen Baisong, "He has been idle for so long, and it is time for him to play."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, it happened to call Tuotuo a trip to the Mongolian tribes.

Tutuo did not expect that he would become an envoy. After he returned home, he asked his servants to pack his things and head to the Mongolian tribe as soon as possible.

Hashizhang will also travel with his father this time.

The two left Beijing with a pair of men and horses.

Ha Cizhang and Chu Lin said goodbye at the gate of the city.

"You have to be careful." Chu Lin looked at Ha Saizhang worriedly. As he grew older, he lost the youthful aura, but he became more refined and gentle, so that now he always wears a hat when he goes out.

Not to be snatched home by some bold girl.

——He has been robbed twice.

Every time, it was Hashizhang who led someone to snatch him back.

Harzhang has also grown up. He used to be a young wolf, but now he has sharp minions.

He grew taller, a head taller than Chu Lin, he had a strong physique, strong muscles, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a tall nose. He was very different from the Central Plains.

"I know." Hashizhang said to Chu Lin, "so do you, you don't go out when I'm away."

Chu Lin smiled, "It's fine when I get older."

When he gets old, there should be no girls who love him.

Hashizhang also said: "You are not allowed to get married until I come back."

Chu Lin still smiled: "I know, I must wait for you to come back, and then I will invite you to drink."

Hachazhang and Tuotuo turned over.

Chu Lin stood there and looked at the back of Hashizhang's departure.

"Trade, intermarriage." Lin Yuan said over a cup of tea, "Apart from weapons and horses that can't be sold, anything else will do."

Song Shizhao frowned and said, "Isn't that letting them..."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, take your time."

Trade exchanges will allow more merchants to enter various tribes, enough for the merchants to figure out the structure of these tribes, where their granaries and weapons stores are, and how many people are available.

The other is to let the culture here pass.

Mongolia is still slavery.

Give birth to children from mother.

The mother is a slave, and the child born is also a slave, even if the fatherhood is noble.

There are more slaves in Mongolia than nobles.

Once slaves discover that they can also become common people, they can also have human rights, they can also have their own families and children, and they can live without being beaten. How would they choose?

Moreover, many slave owners in Mongolia are hungry, and their productivity is not enough to support the population.

If you can live a good life in a different place, why not change it?

The concept of home country is only available to the educated.

The uneducated people do not have this concept.

In Mongolia, there is no family name or family name, only tribes and clan surnames.

Darling is a slave owner, and he is a typical slave owner who can't eat enough.

He would not abuse his slaves, but he couldn't get enough to eat, and slaves were even more impossible.

But he can live in a yurt, with his own sheep and horses, and the slaves can only sit on the ground. He has clothes to wear, but the slaves don't.

Slaves give birth to children, and children are still slaves.

However, these children sometimes live to grow up, and more quickly starve to death or die in the cold.

A small disease can take away a life.

When Darling was born, his grandfather was exactly seventy years old, and his name was his grandfather's age.

His wife was also the daughter of a nearby slave owner and gave birth to two sons.

The sons are getting bigger and bigger, and their appetites are getting better and better. They yearn for a wider world.

They have been discussing how to get free.

"He is not worthy of being a Mongolian!" The eldest son always does this, and he glares at the mention of Tutuo, "We Mongolians are not afraid of war!"

The younger son has been a follower of the elder son since he was a child, and he said whatever his brother said: "Yes!"

However, with the coming of quit, merchants also came.

It was the first time for Darling to do business with merchants. His sheep received several times more food than in previous years, and he also bought salt, sugar, and sauces from the Central Plains.

The businessman also said to him: "Your sheep is well raised."

The merchants can speak their language, although it is jerky, but he understands it.

With more things in the family, even the slaves can eat a little more than before.

The merchants also bring some jewelry, which are not expensive. They say they are gold-plated and silver-plated, not solid, so they are very cheap.

They will also bring cotton and silk, as well as cotton clothes for winter.

Mrs. Darling changed his opinion when he heard her sons talk about Quoting.

The eldest son said, "I am a Mongolian after all, I still remember Tuotuo."

The youngest son also said: "I heard that Hachazhang is very powerful! His sword is very powerful!"

The use of benefits to make them change, Hashizhang used force to make them change.

Especially after the two fathers and sons came, their lives have indeed changed for the better, each day getting better.

Mrs. Darling also bought a silver hairpin for his wife.

Learn how the merchants showed him to give his wife a hairpin.

"I don't know what the Han city is like." The wife touched the silver hairpin on her head with an enviable look on her face.

The merchant brought a lot of things. Their family couldn't afford silk. They only bought cotton clothes for the winter. She had never seen such light and thick clothes, soft and warm.

Darling laughed too much and said, "The meat here is worthless, but it's worth it in a Han city."

The wife nodded. They changed a lot of salt this year, and even the slaves could eat a little salty taste. The slaves worked harder.

Sometimes the people brought by the merchants also talked to the slaves.

Merchants will buy slaves from slave owners and carry goods. A slave is worth more than a cow.

Many slave owners would sell their slaves.

There is no shortage of slaves.

There are always slaves giving birth to children, and there are always noble families that become slaves.

So merchants would take these slaves to do business.

When merchants and slave owners talked about business, the merchants’ slaves would stay with the slave owners’ slaves.

Obviously they were all slaves, but the merchant's slaves could wear common clothes, and some could wear short knives.

"The adults are so good to you?" The unclothed slave looked at his former companion full of jealousy.

After the companion was bought by the merchant, he thought that the companion who went to the heavy work would soon die.

But I didn't expect to see you again. When I saw you, my companion wore clothes that only adults can wear, and can also wear a short knife.

That's a short knife, and there are not many slave owners.

The original slave smiled and said: "I have a name now. I am the first slave bought by an adult. The adult said that my name is Ah Da, and that there are no slaves in the Central Plains. From now on, I will be an adult’s hired hand, waiting for the adult to sell it. After the goods are finished, they will take me back to the Central Plains. When I repay the money the adults bought me, the adults will pay me."

The slaves did not believe: "The Han people are very treacherous, and they are telling lies. When you reach the Central Plains, he will kill you."

Ah Da touched his clothes: "That's not a loss, I am not a slave now."

The slaves were taken aback and looked at Ah Da.

Ah Da said: "I don't know who my parents are. If I were still a slave, my children would not know who my parents were."

"But I will no longer be a slave. I can have my own wife and children."

The slaves said: "You go to the Han people, and they will beat you."

Ah Da said: "I have been to a Han city."

It is the city closest to the Mongolian tribe, with high walls and many people.

"The Han people in the city didn't beat me." Ah Da's eyes made a lot of money. "There are also many slaves in the city!"

"After they were sold, they worked under the hands of the Han people. One slave was very powerful."

"He paid back the money the Han people bought him and bought a house there. He did woodworking very well!" Ah Da said enviously, "I have been outside his house. It is a brick house."

Ah Da said excitedly: "He is going to get married!"

The slaves were shocked: "Who wants to marry a slave!"

Ah Da said: "His carpenter's daughter is willing to marry him."

Ah Da dancing and dancing: "Because he is a great carpenter now! He can make a lot of money!"

Ah Da said in anticipation: "I will be able to pay off the money the adults bought me after a few more trips. Then I will also go to the city to find a job, build my own house, and become a biological child."

The slaves looked at him stupidly.

I don't know if he is dreaming or he is dreaming.
