The people of Cuigezhuang have had their butts pulled with a knife today, and their eyes have been opened!

Early in the morning, Emperor Zhu brought more than 3,000 students to the little-known Cuigezhuang, and sent someone to invite Cui Baoguo, the leader of the farmers' association, and several elderly people in the village.

They arrived at the land to the east of the village in a mighty manner.

It's winter, and the ground in Cuigezhuang is also covered with a light layer of snow, but the green wheat seedlings still show their heads tenaciously, showing an unyielding vitality in the winter's chill - the wheat seedlings are quietly growing

They are waiting for the next winter snow to cover them, and when spring comes, they will thrive.

When you come to the fields at this time, you can smell the sweet air of wheat seedlings and feel the coldness of winter snow.

This is a scene that has been loved by countless literati throughout the ages.

It is a pity that the more than 3,000 farmers who were brought to the fields by Emperor Zhu were not in the mood to appreciate everything in front of them, and the old farmers who were invited had no feeling for the beautiful scenery in front of them, because the old people who had actually farmed

We have all experienced the hardship of plowing the ground under the scorching sun, and the pain of squatting to pull out weeds. Even the autumn harvest that is praised and sung by others is nothing but pain and happiness for real farmers.

There is no mention of "there is no idle land in the world, and farmers still starve to death", nor of "if there are floods, droughts, insects, or locusts, the whole family will have nothing to hope for", because even if there is no land rent or land tax, it will be just in time for a good harvest.

The scenery of the year and the autumn harvest are not too good memories.

Isn’t that ridiculous?

Anyone who thinks this is ridiculous is either a bastard who can stand and talk without hurting his back, or a brainless idiot.

Let's take the book "A Brief Summary of Awakening from Corruption" written by Zhu Chongba, who started a bowl, as an example:

Zhu Yuanzhang once calculated such a set of data in "A Brief Record of Awakening Corruption": If the salary of a first-grade official is 87 shi of rice per month, then 1,044 shi of rice per year will be required, which is converted into rice and requires 2,620 shi.

From this set of data, we can see that there is a lot of loss when grinding rice into rice. At least during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the loss rate was relatively high.

Tokugawa Jiaqi was filled with secret hatred.

Although Nojiri Nishijin didn't dare to criticize the Japanese government and the shogunate like Inukai Wenhong, and even dared to recruit a group of short-sighted people who were dissatisfied with the Japanese country to run a newspaper, Nojiri Nishijin was a risk-taking critic of the Japanese government.

The feudal lords and daimyo from all over the country had a strange attitude toward the Japanese court and shogunate.

More importantly, the Satsuma clan, Chikuzen, Chikugo and other feudal lords actually have a common name: Kyushu clans.

This difference in geographical location naturally resulted in uneven development among the various vassals. Some vassals were relatively wealthy, while others were poor.

Thinking of this, Matsudaira Nobunobu's face couldn't help but become ugly. He glanced at Shimazu Hisamitsu and said loudly: "The Shimazu family leader is right. Now is an important moment for us to work together to overcome the difficulties.

We can no longer look forward and backward at this time!”

To put it bluntly, the Japanese country, which has been blown away by countless incurable people in the sky and the earth, is actually similar to the situation in Tianzhu. Tianzhu has castes, and the Japanese country also has classes.

However, Qi Feng didn't care about other people's eyes at all. Instead, he looked at Mr. Chen, Mr. Hu and others and said, "How about it? If you are willing to do this with me and Qi, let's do it together. If there is anyone who is not willing to do it, we will do it together." You can also leave on your own, as long as you don't cause trouble for me and Qi, we will still be good brothers from now on."

For example, why do those ronin samurai who lost their masters remain ronin instead of finding a job?

This also means that if Tokugawa Jiaqi wants to completely complete the blockade, he must first get rid of those ronin.

After Zeng Cheng and Liu Heming left the palace, Emperor Zhu sat alone in the Qianqing Palace in a daze.

The difference in wealth and poverty will be directly reflected in the number of ronin in each domain.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang’s calculated data, the rice yield rate is only about 40%.

We don't care about the reasons and significance of Zhu Yuanzhang's calculation of this set of data, nor do we care about Zhu Yuanzhang writing "Awakening Corruption Police to Record" but being scolded as a dog. We only look at one key data here: 13,100 miles.

To say that they are willing to do so, they are definitely not willing to give in. Shimazu Hisamitsu, Chikuzen, Chikugo and other feudal lords have not thought about resisting. At least they must find a good place, right?

Then Shimazu Hisamitsu and the others quickly moved to Ezo, completely giving up Kyushu Island.

The key is that Nojiri Nishijin is not a simple scholar.

After harvesting, the farmer can only produce 4 buckets of rice by picking a load of unthreshed rice, so 6550 picks are needed. If it takes one mile to pick the rice from the field to the threshing floor, it will also take another mile to pick it back. The road is 2 miles round trip, so we have to walk 13,100 miles to carry the load.

As Shimadzu Hisamitsu and Matsudaira Nobunobu expressed their opinions one after another, the other feudal lords suddenly had no way out. Whether they wanted to understand or not, they had to follow Shimazu Hisamitsu and Matsudaira Nobunobu to express their opinions. They will each send samurai and ashigaru to help the shogunate eliminate those ronin.

There is a difference between daimyo and daimyo.

Mr. Chen, Mr. Hu and others looked at Qi Feng who was talking with bewildered expressions. They couldn't believe that these words came from Qi Feng's mouth.

Mr. Chen, Mr. Hu and others looked at Qi Feng who was talking with bewildered expressions. They couldn't believe that these words came from Qi Feng's mouth.

Mr. Hu chuckled, stroking his beard and said: "One person, Wen Hong, can only manage a whole area with chaos. Naturally, the money our brothers can earn is very limited. In my opinion, we should find ways to bring more people in."

This is a war with a very low chance of winning - no matter how talented and strategic a hero or wise ruler is, he may not be able to perfectly solve the huge capitalist class.

Nojiri Nishijin is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.

Calculate further in this way: to produce 2620 shi of rice, 873 acres of land are needed. Farming requires cattle. If one cow cultivates 50 acres of land, 17 cattle are needed. The labor cost of field work is based on one person. It takes 57 people to farm 15 acres.

When Tokugawa Ieki finished speaking, all the feudal lords present breathed a sigh of relief but at the same time couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

When people's lives have improved, naturally no one will think about rebelling against the Ming Dynasty and restoring the Qing Dynasty.

If we simply judge the level based on the status of the world, Nojiri Nishijin is actually far inferior to Inukai Wenhong, because Inukai Wenhong is still a famous name no matter how famous he is, while Nojiri Nishijin is just a country man, and he can only be known as The self-proclaimed identity of a Lanxue scholar.

Mr. Hu couldn't help but frown and said: "Brother Qi's idea is good, but where can we find a big name who is willing to cooperate with us? According to Brother Qi, first of all, this big name cannot have too much power, and secondly, it cannot be too smart.

Again, you can’t be too stupid, the key is to be able to intimidate those short guys from the Japanese country. It’s not easy to find such a famous name, isn’t it?”

As we all know, apart from being lustful, Tokugawa Ieki's biggest problem was his greed for money. The problem of his sons and daughters' excessive amassing money can be said to be inherited from Tokugawa Ieki.

First of all, this clever and hairless principal relied entirely on the capitalist class to make his fortune.

What would the shogunate think if they were asked to obey the orders of the feudal lord and ignore the Tokugawa family? They were dragging each other back and fighting to pay off the ronin who had a nest of chickens!

This was even more unacceptable to the feudal lords than directly using money to support Tokugawa Ieki!

If you think about it in the worst possible way, maybe the real purpose of the Tokugawa family is not to completely wipe out those ronin, but to come to them, the feudal lords! Once the samurai and ashigaru of the shogunate enter the territory of each feudal in large numbers, what will happen later?

It’s hard to say what happened!

After the Onin Rebellion, the trend of subjugation from the lower ranks of Japan prevailed. Most of the guardian daimyo declined, and small lords rose up to become the daimyo of the Warring States Period.

During the Muromachi Shogunate period, the samurai leaders who followed Ashikaga Takauji into the army were named guardians. The samurai who led one or several countries were collectively called guardian daimyo.

Of course, the reason why Emperor Zhu had the confidence to do this was because the Ming Dynasty itself was powerful enough. The continuous expansion of the territory made the people of the Ming Dynasty not as urgent for land as they were during the Apocalypse and Chongzhen years, and the continuous inflow of real money made them

As a result, the per capita income of the people of the Ming Dynasty was high enough, and one strong laborer was enough for a family of five to live a relatively good life.

Being so daring to scold and complain in the hierarchical Japanese country, Inukai Wenhong soon had a large number of followers around him, and most of these people were samurai who were extremely dissatisfied with the Japanese court and shogunate.

Ronin.

Shimazu Hisamitsu, who was already as poor as a dog in Ezo, still sent samurai and ashigaru to help the Tokugawa family. Now he was the first to jump out and scold all the feudal lords, all for the sake of the Edo shogunate.

He behaves like a loyal dog who doesn't hesitate to shed the last drop of his blood, but Tokugawa Ieqi seems to be unhappy?

After thinking about it secretly, a bright light suddenly flashed in Matsudaira Nobunobu's head - thinking at the best, Tokugawa Ieki may really want to wipe out those samurai, and the current performance between him and Shimazu Hisamitsu is just...

He is acting in order to lure the feudal lords into taking the bait.

Don't talk about carriages, carts, handcarts, cattle and horses, and the like, because these are all rare things - when the country was just founded, if anyone had a carriage, millstone, etc., it would be considered a good thing.

For wealthy households, even for flower growers before the millennium, the livestock in the countryside are valuable assets and are more precious than people!

During the Edo period, the shogunate divided the country's daimyo into the gushidai daimyo (the retainers of Tokugawa Ieyasu) and the gaijin daimyo (the daimyo who were originally subordinate to Toyotomi Hideyoshi).

Hearing the name Nojiri Nishiki, all the Ming businessmen present laughed strangely again.

So a very strange scene appeared: in front of us was a beautiful scene of wheat seedlings covered with light snow in early winter, but no one, whether it was Emperor Zhu, the students, or the old farmers, wanted to appreciate it.

Daimyo originated from the word "name master", which refers to the named field, that is, private land, and daimyo refers to a person who owns a large amount of land.

Mr. Hu's eyes lit up: "The person you are talking about is Zhang Wenhong from the Kinki tribes?"

Well, an autumn harvest is like a long march of thousands of miles, and an autumn harvest means that a layer of skin has to be shed on the shoulders. What is so beautiful about this memory?

Emperor Zhu had also farmed in the past, and he knew the feeling of sweat falling into pieces.

In the eyes of the Japanese court and shogunate, Nojiri Nishiki was like a toad. It couldn't bite people, but it could disgust them to death. After all, this guy was covered in the skin of a scholar of orchid science, and he usually followed the merchants of the Ming Dynasty.

He was relatively close, and the Japanese court and shogunate did not dare to deal with him directly.

Qi Feng smiled and nodded, and another name came out of his mouth: "How about Nojiri Nishiki?"

This guy even openly claimed that as the king of the Japanese country, Guangge Jianren not only had no trace of divinity, but also no trace of humanity. What he did failed to bring benefits to the people of the Japanese country, and he failed to live up to the Ming Emperor's treatment of him.

Trust me, if you are a humble person, you should commit seppuku.

Now that Qi Feng proposed using Inu Yang Wenhong to disrupt the Japanese country and make a fortune, Mr. Hu, Mr. Chen and other Ming businessmen present were naturally very excited.

Chikuzen, Chikugo, Bunzen, Bungo, Hizen, Tsushima, Hinata and other feudal lords also responded one after another, while the other feudal lords and daimyo couldn't help but frowned.

Because what Inukai Wenhong said was "if the Ming Dynasty were replaced to rule the Japanese country".

For example, a certain principal.

The poorer the feudal clan is, the more rogues there are.

These feudal clans were originally hanging out on Kyushu Island. The Satsuma clan even sent troops to capture Ryukyu, forcing the Ryukyu king to surrender to Japan and pay tribute.

Most of the villages near the capital are named after certain villages, such as Cuigezhuang and Zhanggezhuang. Except for the naming method, which is slightly different from villages in other places, they are basically the same in other aspects. The people in the village all use farming.

For the main purpose, the elderly and women will do other handicrafts, while the young and strong laborers will go to the workshops to work in the slack time.

Emperor Zhu did not force the distinction between workers and farmers. In the Ming Dynasty, there were no such bullshit regulations that farmers could only cultivate the land, but they could not work in small workshops or set up street stalls. For the people, it cannot be said that they were completely free-range, at least they were relatively free.

Loose.

Now Qi Feng remembered Nojiri Nishijin.

Mr. Hu's eyes lit up: "The person you are talking about is Zhang Wenhong from the Kinki tribes?"

As for sending ninjas or getting some leprosy patients to cause harm to the territory of Mitsuo and his son, the Tokugawa family really didn't have such an idea for the time being.

It's a pity that Tokugawa Ieqi's originally good plan was ruined by two weaklings, Shimazu Hisamitsu and Matsudaira Nobunobu.

All the feudal lords and daimyo present could not help but be a little confused. They didn't know what the weakling Tokugawa Iakichi wanted to say.

The feudal lords and daimyo continued to be confused - the Ming Dynasty was the Shang Kingdom and the father of the Japanese Kingdom. Isn't this a matter of course?
