Chapter 267
The people of Annam Province translated the words of the village chief to Lord Senhu, who frowned when he heard it.
Why do the villagers of this Siamese kingdom have to look for food every day?"
The guide continued to translate, and the village chief sighed helplessly.
"The Kingdom of Siam has a rule that only Siamese nobles and citizens can live in the city, we are all farmers and villagers, and we are not allowed to enter the city!"
"We are not allowed to enter the city, and they also charge us a 40 percent agricultural tax, so many people don't grow much rice." "
"Anyway, there is food in this rainforest and forest, and you can't die of hunger if you don't farm, you just have to go out early every day and return in search of food!"
The guide translated the words of the villagers to Senhu intact.
Senhu was surprised, this Siamese Kingdom is really strange.
Villagers and peasants, even not allowed to enter the city life?
The key is to charge a high agricultural tax, which has reached 40%.
This villager didn't even rebel?
"Then you can stand such anger, our Daming Empire does not pay agricultural taxes. "
The guide translated to the village chief, whose eyes were full of envy.
If the Daming Empire doesn't dislike us, we are willing to be pariahs for the Daming Empire!"
"Anyway, in the Kingdom of Siam, we are also pariahs!"
"The people were again influenced by Siamese Buddhism, and no one dared to rebel. "
Senhu frowned, indeed there were so many temples in this village.
"With so many temples, can you afford so many monks?"
"Most of the monks are nobles, and the temples in this village, we only enter the temples at a fixed time every month to worship, and we are not allowed to enter at other times!"
"Our grain, in addition to supplying the Siamese royal family, must also supply these Buddhist nobles!"
"They are simply our bloodsuckers!"
The more the village chief spoke, the more excited he became, and the whole person gritted his teeth.
The guide translated the words to Senhu, who was very excited.
This Siamese king is so unpopular, it is not easy to clean them up?
"Order the soldiers, according to the practice in Annam Province at that time, to distribute food to these people~'!"
"As long as they are willing to follow us to attack the Siamese soldiers and horses and Siamese nobles, as well as these temples, we will give each person two pounds of rice every day. "
Woooo
A group of scouts blew their horns.
"Lord Senhu, the monks of the two temples in the village, they are here!"
These villagers were all taken aback: "These monks are nobles of Siam!
Qianhu looked sluggish: "Aren't monks who don't kill?"
The guide hurriedly said: "General, these monks are the nobles of the Siamese Kingdom, they are not the Buddhism of the Daming Empire, these guys are basically the decisive force of the Siamese Kingdom!"
"They have monks and soldiers, who specialize in collecting agricultural taxes and monitoring the production activities of villagers in major villages. "
"Whoever is disrespectful to Buddhism, the monks of the temples of the Kingdom of Siam can immediately carry out any punishment for these villagers!"
The guide's words startled Qianhu and the soldiers of the Daming Qinglong Battalion behind him.
Hell, this Siamese kingdom actually governs the country in Buddhism, shouldn't it be based on benevolence?
"Guide, speaking of these temples, where is the money to raise monks and soldiers?"
"The villagers want to pay tribute to these temples, and these temples occupy most of the cultivated land!
The words of the guide made Qianhu look sluggish.
This fucking is terrible.
A Siamese kingdom was controlled by Buddhism.
"The king of Siam himself claimed to be a bodhisattva, so the Kingdom of Siam built a large number of temples. "
"The monks of the temple can only be held by nobles, and these monks do not obey any precepts at all!"
"They have long been not the original Buddhism!"
The guide of the Annan Kingdom said truthfully, and Sendo frowned.
"Come, eight hundred li urgently, explain the current situation of the Kingdom of Siam to His Majesty in Thang Long City, and ask for instructions!"
On 17 November, Chongzhen received an urgent report from the 1,000th household of the First Army of the Qinglong Battalion.
Looking at the content of the urgent report, Chongzhen frowned.
"The Kingdom of Siam, a kingdom that admires Buddhism. "
"To be so unkind to the people, we will destroy them on behalf of justice." "
"Order the commander of the First Army to destroy Buddha in the Kingdom of Siam!"
"Although Buddhism in the Daming Empire is annoying, at least it obeys the precepts!"
"Buddhism in this Siamese kingdom has been alienated, and remaining in the world is a disaster for the people. "
"Order the war to destroy Buddha in the Kingdom of Siam. "
"Destroy all resistance forces and Buddhist organizations in the Kingdom of Siam." "
"As for the people of Siam, they can become pariahs of the Ming Empire and continue to stay in the Siam Province where the Ming Empire is built. "
Wang Chengen was stunned, this Siamese Kingdom has not yet been defeated, His Majesty has already regarded it as a province of the Daming Empire?
"Your Majesty, there are five thousand war elephants in this Siamese Kingdom, how should we deal with it?"
Wang Chengen's reminder made Chongzhen instantly interested.
"~ Don't say, Xu also wants to form a war elephant army. "
"Daming War Elephant Troops, prepare to be equipped with 10,000 war elephants!"
"I want to personally meet the enemy's war elephant troops. "
Chongzhen must go in person and save the template of the war elephant in the system, so that he can copy the war elephant infinitely.
"The Fifth Army stays in Thang Long City!"
"Take the Fourth Army with you!"
Chongzhen had his soldiers load a month's worth of grain and grass and other weights from the royal grain shop in Thang Long City, and then quickly marched towards the border of the Kingdom of Siam.
The route was mostly forest and rainforest, and the soldiers carried medicines.
Chongzhen had long prepared a large amount of Chinese medicine for the soldiers to overcome the disobedience.
"Your Majesty, it's November, and the weather in this Siamese Kingdom is still so cool, it's really comfortable!", Wang Chengen, who was following Chongzhen, said with a smile.
"This is tropical and subtropical, and the winter will not be very cold, similar to the spring of the Daming Empire!"
Wang Chengen was stunned, he didn't know about the tropics and the subtropics, but what His Majesty said should make sense.
"Your Majesty is right, you see, the villages along the way are too simple. "
"It's all bamboo and wood, and the roofs are covered with straw!"
"In the past two years of our Daming Empire, whether in the city or in the countryside, houses have been undergoing renovation, and almost all of them are building green brick glazed tile houses, what a happy team!"
Chongzhen was also helpless, Chongzhen copied a large number of green brick glazed tiles, directly stored them in the village, and gave them to the rural people, so that the people could build green bricks and glazed tiles by themselves.
Rural people can only have one homestead each, and urban people can only have one house each.
This ensures that the house is always just a property to live in.
When rural people build houses, they also need to buy homesteads, so that it is fair to urban citizens.
Because urban citizens need five thousand to ten thousand yuan a house for a house.
Rural villagers who buy a homestead also need two thousand yuan a homestead.
