Qiming 1158

Chapter 1565
The Dinghai of today is indeed completely different from the Dinghai of the past.

At that time, his family was rich, and lived a very comfortable life. However, the gap between the rich and the poor was too large, and the people were poor. The entire Dinghai County had a permanent population of [-] to [-], and the family was well-off. Less than a hundred households.

Most of the people were poor peasant families, and their lives were tight.

In a slightly bad year, every household has to go to the sea to fish to subsidize the family. The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to drink water, if there is no food to eat, they must supplement the fish, shrimp and crabs to eat, so as not to starve to death.

Despite this, the government still greedily levies taxes on fish, shrimp and crabs. Even if the things in the sea are not related to them by nature, it is more uncomfortable for the farmers to see that they are full than they are hungry.

Make money, do everything possible to make money.

Everyone's life was very difficult, and even the fish in the coastal areas were replenished for one year, and many people had to use small fishing boats to fish a little further away.

As a result, there was a strong wind, and less than [-]% of the people who went fishing came back.

That year, so many people hung white flags and burned white paper, which broke the toiling masses with their tears and ruined the coffin shop in the city with their joy.

Su Yonglin vaguely remembered that he once saw that strange scene on the street with his parents.

On one side is a miserable poor family, and on the other is a booming coffin shop.

That paradoxical scene shook Su Yonglin's heart.

Looking back now, why did that scene happen?
Nothing but poor.

What causes poverty?

oppression and exploitation.

Look, the problem has been found, and next, the problem must be solved.

How to deal with it?Is everyone friendly, consultative, and democratically voted?

of course not.

A bloody revolution.

Poverty is not incurable, just do a good job of distribution, which is difficult, but not impossible.

At least for now, Su Yonglin feels that Daming has done a good job in income distribution, with a small population, a large territory, abundant resources, and an unexplored blue ocean world.

Su Yonglin felt that if he could not let China go out from now on, but was trapped in endless inwards on the ground of one-third of an acre, it would be a big sin comparable to the failure of the revolution.

Returning to Dinghai this time was the last stop for Su Yonglin's trip. After the end, Su Yonglin took a boat from Dinghai Port to return to Central Capital and went back.

Before leaving, Su Yonglin suddenly wanted to visit his old friends in Dinghai to see if there were any people he knew back then.

Dinghai County did not benefit from the existence of the founding emperor at first.

Because he was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Dinghai was still in the hands of the Southern Song Dynasty, the situation in Dinghai County was actually quite embarrassing, and it felt like a person inside and outside.

Fortunately, after Su Yonglin wiped out the Southern Song Dynasty, the identity of Dinghai County has also been corrected, and it has a bit of the taste of imperial hometown.

However, Su Yonglin did not instruct the local government to provide any special support for Dinghai County. Most of the original county residents in Dinghai County were separated due to years of war and turmoil. Most of the county residents living here are from Hongwu eight years later. There is no special feeling for the so-called imperial hometown.

So really speaking, the positioning of Dinghai County's imperial hometown is really embarrassing.

Su Yonglin walked all the way, looking around, going to familiar places to see familiar buildings, looking for familiar people from familiar buildings, but in the end, he didn't find any acquaintances.

Just as he was slightly disappointed and was about to leave Dinghai and return to the Central Capital, Su Yong, who was walking in front of a corner of a deserted street, bumped into a white-haired pedestrian. After a punch, the word [Su Yong] suddenly blurted out.

The three of Su Yonglin were surprised now.

"you are?"

Su Yong looked at the gray-haired old man with some vigilance, but did not recognize him.

But Su Yonglin, who was standing behind, glanced over, and suddenly a dusty memory somewhere was opened.

"Uncle Li? Is that you?"

The white-haired old man looked back over Su Yong, froze for a while, and then knelt on the ground as if he saw something extraordinary.

"Caomin... Caomin greets His Majesty!"

Obviously, he recognized Su Yonglin.

Both Su Yong and Su Changsheng were very surprised by this, only Su Yonglin remembered who this old man was.

A quarter of an hour later, in a medium-sized private house, Su Yonglin and the other three sat around a table with Li Bo, feeling very emotional.

"I would never have thought that it has been a great blessing to see you again after more than ten years."

Li Bo smiled and poured a cup of tea for Su Yonglin: "The old man only has rough tea at home, please don't mind."

"It's okay."

Su Yonglin waved his hand and said slowly, "Uncle Li, have you come here all by yourself all these years? Where's your family?"

"Ugh……"

Uncle Li took a long sigh and smiled bitterly: "Everyone is gone, the old man is a fluke, and still alive is the best result, how dare you ask for anything else?"

Su Yonglin was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Li Bo was the housekeeper of his former fiancée's house, who died of illness before he could even get there.

When the two of them were discussing marriage, Li Bo came to the house many times as a messenger to discuss various matters.

Su Yonglin vaguely remembered that Uncle Li was very talkative and witty. Every time he came, the atmosphere at home was always very good.

Later, the former fiancée died of illness before they could even come to the door, and the two families had no contact. Afterwards, the Su family also experienced great changes. Su Yonglin sent troops north to make a revolution, and the connection was completely cut off.

In a flash, 15 years have passed, and Su Yonglin never thought that there would be a day of reunion, which is really an accident.

It's a pity that the former fiancee's family, only Li Bo is still alive in the world.

"When your army went south to attack Lin'an, many people from Lin'an fled over and prepared to flee to the sea from the nearby area. At that time, the owner of the family did not know that it was your army, and was also panicked. He was worried that the army would cross the border and there would be no grass, so they followed him across the sea to escape.

As a result, not long after the boat sailed, it encountered a strong wind, the boat overturned, and everyone died. Only the old man was carried a board by the waves and was swept to the shore by the waves. , it doesn't matter if you don't have to run away at all. "

Li Bo laughed wryly, the laughter was like the sound coming from an old bellows.

The three of Su Yonglin didn't know what to say.

Su Yonglin sighed for a while, then asked again, "Now, how do you live alone?"

"Then I really want to thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Bo bowed his hands and bowed: "The almshouse provides a monthly subsidy of money, rice and oil for the widowed and lonely people like the old man. The old man can live without any problems. The almshouse will send people to the door every day to ask how the old man's health is. Throughout the year, there is no day. cut off.

In the future, if the old man is lucky enough to live to an age when he cannot take care of himself, the almshouse will take the old man into the hospital, and there will be special people to take care of him, so that the old man can spend his old age in peace. think. "

With that said, Uncle Li was about to kneel down to thank Su Yonglin, Su Yonglin hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him and helped him up.

"This is what I should do. Our country respects the old and loves the young. The ancient tradition cannot be abandoned. If the widows and widows are left unattended, and the evening scenery is desolate, how can anyone serve the country wholeheartedly?"

Li Bo was amazed.

"Lin Lao still has such benevolent care, and this old man has nothing else to ask for..."

Weeping while speaking.
