Chapter 135
Zhang Xianzhong, Li Dingguo, and Sun Ke hoped that they would temporarily rest in the farmer's home.
After a while, the farmers exchanged 10 taels of silver at the Royal Bank branch in the county seat for 1,000 Ming coins.
They bought two hundred catties of rice, ten catties of salt, as well as all kinds of pork, mutton, beef, melons, fruits, and vegetables, and even bought brocade clothes and satin clothes for Zhang Xianzhong.
The peasants of this era were very simple, and they thought that people from afar were guests.
When the guests come and give so much silver, they have to be reciprocated accordingly.
A farmer in his forties hired a horse-drawn carriage.
The royal grain shop provided a service of hiring horse-drawn carriages, and the grooms on the carriages were paid a fixed wage.
At each royal grain shop, Chongzhen copied a hundred carriages and provided hired carriage services.
Hire a carriage once and pay according to the length of the journey.
The farmer handed the 10-yuan coin to the horseman and carried the things to his home.
Zhang Xianzhong "Nine Five Zero" looked at these things, and he was completely unsure.
No way?
Didn't we give only ten taels of silver?
Is this buying all the stuff from the vendors?
The farmers were also very happy, these things, less than 300 yuan, there is still a full 700 yuan.
"A few distinguished guests, come to the cold house, I will cook big white rice for you now, pork, beef and mutton, and I have bought a few fish, chicken, duck, goose and geese!"
"Come on, come on, eat some fruit!"
Zhang Xianzhong's eyes were dull, and he looked at Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo beside him.
"What's going on?"
"This ordinary villager is so rich?"
Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang shook their heads at the same time: "I don't know!" "
Zhang Xianzhong asked curiously.
"Strong man, these things are at least more than ten taels of silver!"
"You also bought us brocade satin clothes?"
The farmer handed the clothes to Zhang Xianzhong.
"It's all size all, you can wear it!"
"This brocade robe is ten yuan cheap, fifty yuan expensive, and the people can wear it!"
What?
Can the people wear brocade clothes?
Isn't this bragging?
Zhang Xianzhong's brain is buzzing, he has been in the field for half a year, why has there been such a big change outside?
Before he could come to his senses, the farmer said with a smile: "These rice, meat, vegetables, melons and fruits, and the clothes bought for you are less than three hundred yuan in total!" "
"I see that you are wearing coarse linen clothes, I guess you are outsiders! Now the people of Daming, as long as they are close to the villages of the county seat, basically every household can buy cheap brocade clothes and satin clothes! "
"It is estimated that this winter will be better, a cotton jacket, the most expensive is only fifty yuan, the cheap ten yuan and twenty yuan!"
Zhang Xianzhong was completely dumbfounded.
Nima, this drought is so severe that these people have not been affected in the slightest?
How did he derail from this world for half a year?
With dazed and confused eyes, looking at the farmer, Zhang Xianzhong was a little desperate.
"Strong man, I have a question, the drought is so severe, I see that there is almost no harvest on your land, how can you survive? Aren't you going to flee? "
"Why flee? Today, His Majesty Zi Chongzhen gave each of our people a thousand kilograms of rice, which is refined grain! "
"He also distributed five hundred yuan of Daming coins to each people!"
"Don't say resist for one year, even if it is resist for two years, you can resist it!"
Zhang Xianzhong was struck by lightning again.
Mother, Lao Tzu tuntian for half a year, let the soldiers carry the Yangtze River water to water the fields, and barely hoarded some grain.
He also thought about using the hoarded food to recruit displaced people.
This, this Chongzhen, he has a disease in the brain, right? (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )
Give each of the people a thousand pounds of food?
Where did he get the food? Is he rich enough to bleed oil?
Zhang Xianzhong was desperate in his heart, and asked curiously: "So, the surrounding displaced people have gone home?" "
"Of course, you guys from other places don't know so much about the imperial court?"
"Now everywhere is arresting landlords, arresting wealthy gentry, and the people can divide the land!"
"What? Kill the landlord and catch the gentry? Isn't this what the peasant army does? "
The farmer shook his head: "I don't know, anyway, in our county, it is the revolutionary guard who is doing these things!" My nineteen-year-old son is now a member of the Revolutionary Guard! "
"What's the situation? Dingguo, how do I feel that we are out of touch with this world? "
Li Dingguo looked dumbfounded and scratched his head.
"Indeed, what is the situation? And what is Revolutionary Guard? "
"Gentlemen, don't worry, your caravan is estimated to be outside for a few months!"
"We now belong to the Two Lakes Theater, I heard that 50,000 National Salvation Army was recruited, this is not my son did not enter, I can only retreat to the second place and join the revolutionary guard!"
"The revolutionary guard specializes in killing landlords, arresting the gentry, arresting the clans, and then distributing the land! Thirty acres of land per person! "
"The most important thing is that recently the revolutionary guard has been doing something that makes the people cheer!"
Zhang Xianzhong understood a little, and immediately asked, "What did you do?" "
"The revolutionary guard is now carrying out anti-corruption operations in accordance with His Majesty's instructions!"
"No, yesterday our village chief and his family were all arrested!"
"Whether it is a big official, a small official, or a village chief, as long as he covets the money and assets of the Daming Empire, he has been arrested!"
"I heard that the village chief has been executed by Ling Chi, and his family has all been hanged!"
"All their land and property were returned to the imperial court!"
Zhang Xianzhong's brain was buzzing, didn't this completely do all the things that the peasant army wanted to do?
"Also, don't go to Wuchang City in the south, I heard that the imperial court is going to launch a general attack and kill them all!"
Zhang Xianzhong's face was livid, and the farmer's wife had already brought up all the big white rice, meat and vegetables...
"Now that life is better, three meals of large white rice a day, I used to eat only two meals a day, and it was thin porridge cooked with brown rice!"
Zhang Xianzhong's guards were all from peasant backgrounds.
Their land was annexed and they were forced to join the peasant army.
Hearing the life of the people now, I thought about it, under Zhang Xianzhong's camp, I just ate two meals a day.
This fucking can't be compared at all.
While eating, the peasant household said: "The life of our people is all given to us by His Majesty!" Your Majesty created the Chongzhen Prosperous Era, and now if anyone dares to make trouble and disrupt our Prosperous Era, I am the first to disagree! "
"As long as Your Majesty needs us, we, men, women, and children, can fight for Your Majesty at any time!"
Zhang Xianzhong is a little confused 1.7, what is the situation?
The consciousness of the people is so high?
"Before, wasn't everyone afraid of the imperial court conscription?" , Zhang Xianzhong asked unwillingly.
The farmer had a smile on his face: "I couldn't eat enough before, and the imperial court was so bad to us, of course we didn't want to work for the imperial court!" "
"Now that the imperial court has abolished the three salaries, abolished the agricultural tax, returned us rice, and given us money, we will not swear to defend the Chongzhen Emperor to the death, isn't it a son of a bitch!"
The farmer looked excited, and said with a fluttering eyebrow: "To tell you a little news, didn't each of us share thirty acres of land?" My family now has four people and has divided 120 acres of land! "
"I heard that the cultivation court also gives subsidies!"
"One acre of land is subsidized by ten yuan, and this one hundred and twenty acres of land can subsidize 1,200 yuan a year!"
"1200 yuan, you can buy 2400 kilograms of rice!"
"The imperial court is so good, shouldn't we still work hard for the imperial court?"
