Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 226 Create a peaceful and prosperous world!
After being silent for a long while, Qian Deaf old dog asked: "If it is to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, then you Zhu Ni tossing about these messy things is justifiable, whether it is the peasant association or the steam engine, you can also say past."

"But the Qing Dynasty has been destroyed by you. Now that you, Zhu Ni, have ruled the world, what are you doing with steam engines, guns and artillery? Why are you building straight roads and railways?"

"You know, every new thing you toss can bring instability to the world. Wouldn't it be more beneficial for your rule to keep everything as it is?"

Zhu Jinsong shook his head with a smile, and said, "Look, what I just said is in vain—you only see the risks that new things may bring, but you don't see the risks of new things. The benefits that come out of things.”

"I ask you, what impact does the appearance of this steam locomotive have on my rule? What impact does the appearance of the textile machine have on my rule?"

Qian Deaf old dog snorted coldly and said: "I know you want to talk about the benefits of these things, but you have to know that in case of chaos, the rebels can quickly reach the capital city by steam locomotive. , will also affect the grain output in the south of the Yangtze River, where will your capital rely on for grain?"

Zhu Jinsong laughed and said, "Look, you are a typical example of giving up food because of choking."

"Have you not seen that since the advent of steam locomotives, cattle and sheep on the grasslands can be transported to Guangdong and Guangxi in just ten days, and tea, silk and grain in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian can also be transported in just ten days?" Transported to the grasslands, from now on, the grasslands cannot be separated from Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian, and vice versa."

"You haven't seen that the appearance of the textile machine has greatly reduced the cost of making silk, the appearance of the sewing machine has greatly reduced the cost of sewing clothes, and the appearance of the steam locomotive has allowed the people to move, which can greatly reduce the transportation cost of goods."

"Because you are looking at these new things from the position of a slave chieftain, and you are thinking about how to control the master with a slave in a more stable way. But I have just said that as long as the people can survive, there will be no rebellion. So, what else do I have to worry about?"

The truth, Zhu Jinsong explained to the old dog Qian Deaf, but the old dog Qian Deaf didn't appreciate it.

After all, anyone who is locked in a prison car for people to visit, watching others eat meat and drink while his own food is unpalatable dross, it is difficult to have any idea of ​​appreciation.

Zhu Jinsong didn't care about Qian Deaf's old dogs being ungrateful, instead he kept bragging to those old farmers: "I remember very clearly that I haven't worn a new piece of clothes since I was a child, basically my father's clothes Make it smaller for me to wear, and I will wear smaller clothes for my second child, and I will give the third child what the second child wears."

"That's it, the clothes at home are also very tight. There is actually only one piece of clothes that can really stand on the stage. Whoever wears them when they go out, and wears casual clothes when they don't go out. My three brothers all wear barebacked clothes." clothes."

Pointing to the children playing with the imperial guards, Zhu Jinsong said with a smile: "It's all right now, I see that these boys have clothes to wear. Although they are not silk and satin, they are clean and fresh anyway. No need to wear clothes." Showing my butt like I was when I was young, I am very happy in my heart."

"All of this is due to the textile machines and sewing machines, and the people who made the textile machines and sewing machines are all educated scholars. If any of these children can improve the sewing machine and come up with some new patents, Just relying on this patent alone, it can guarantee that a generation will have enough food and clothing."

"That's why I always tell you that no matter what, let your children study, because reading is beneficial. Those who say that it is better to let their children work are those who don't need their children to work. There is nothing good about this kind of person, and his heart is completely dark."

Those old farmers all nodded in agreement.

If Zhu Jinsong told them that it takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people, and a hundred years to build education, these old farmers may not understand it, but Zhu Jinsong used the patent can make money as an example, these old farmers would not understand. I can understand.

Especially the last sentence: It can guarantee that a generation will have enough food and clothing. For these old farmers who have endured hardships, that is a great temptation.

However, all this in front of him is so dazzling in the eyes of Qian Deaf Old Dog.

The old dog Qian Deaf couldn't help but mocked: "What patents can you come up with when you are everyone? After all, only a few people can get the benefits. Also, you Zhu Ni, don't show how much you love the people like a son, you use soldiers everywhere, The recruited soldiers are all the children of these old peasants, you fight a battle, but how many people will lose their sons, husbands, and fathers?"

Zhu Jinsong didn't say anything about Qian Deaf's old dog's sarcasm, but Wu Mancang clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "My lord, or else you'll make me slave...or you'll let me chop him up." , This old dog is really noisy."

But before Zhu Jinsong could speak, the old farmer next to him suddenly stood up, went to the prison car and said to the old dog Qian Deaf: "If you want to talk about something else, I won't argue with you. You were the emperor before. I've been digging in the ground all my life, haha, I don't know as much as you do."

"But if you want to talk about killing people in war, then I have to talk to you about it—have you ever killed your son? I have died! My second child was in the army. He returned home the year before last. Went home, then... and then..."

Tears dripped from the corners of the old farmer's eyes, and the corners of his mouth were moaning, pointing at Qian Deaf's old dog with trembling fingers: "He is only 20 years old, and he hasn't married yet. If you say I don't feel bad, that's a lie. After all, it is the child I brought up with shit and urine, and I feel bad about it too!"

"But let me tell you, my love is all love, but I don't hate the emperor, nor the court, because my second child died to save the local people when they were stationed there for disaster relief. He is honored!"

Speaking of this, the old farmer took another deep breath, and continued: "After he was sent back, his body was buried in the martyr's cemetery in our county. He was buried under the flag of our Daming. burial!"

"In addition to the pension money for my second child, the government also sent a plaque of the Martyr's Home to my family, and gave the old man pension money every month. I said that my family still has a boss, and I can't get a share of the money. But the government said that the money was given by the emperor to fulfill my filial piety for my second child, as long as I live one day, I can receive one day's pension money!"

"Although I'm gone...I don't have Xiaoer, but every year and festival, the official master of the government will come to see me with rice, noodles, wine and meat, and ask for my Xiaoer's health. Every Qingming, the government will return Send someone to pick me up, and the official will accompany me to the martyr's cemetery to see my second child."

"There are also my comrades in the second class, they will come to see me from time to time, I...Although I don't have a son, I have many more sons!"

"Also, I adopted my eldest son's youngest son to him, and the government has accepted him, and they will give him an extra amount of money every month, saying that he will raise his child for my second son, and he will continue to raise him until!"

"And Zhao Laosan!"

The old man pointed at another old man who was crying, and said, "His son joined the army earlier and died on the battlefield outside Shuntian Mansion."

"You know what his son said when he came back?"

"He didn't ask anything else. What he asked was whether his son was brave in battle, and whether he had embarrassed our Daming army!"

The old man looked at Qian Deaf and shouted angrily: "You said that the emperor sent our sons to the battlefield, and how many people lost their sons? Then let me tell you! Both of my sons have died! I don't hate it." emperor!"

"Also, listen to me! There are about a hundred families in my village, and more than 30 families have their sons to join the army. The rest of them didn't want to send their sons to join the army, but they didn't choose! My village In the world, there are no cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and no one will hate the emperor because of this!"

"Do you understand?"

Zhu Jinsong, who had been smiling all the time, finally stopped laughing.

Zhu Jinsong stood up, straightened his clothes, saluted the two old men, and then bowed again: "I! I brought your children to the army, but I failed to let them go home safely. , this is my fault!"

Empress Li and the two noble concubines also stood up and saluted the two old men with blessings.

The Imperial Guard soldiers who were playing with the children also stood up and once again lined up. The company commander who led the troops even shouted loudly: "To the families of the martyrs, salute!"

Seeing that the two old men were at a loss, Zhu Jinsong hurried over again, grabbed the old man's hand, and said: "Old man, if you need anything on weekdays, you can go to the government to find it. If the government can't solve it, you Come to the capital to find me!"

The two old men shook their heads, and the old man Zhao even said: "My son wrote a suicide note before he went to the battlefield. He said that loyalty and filial piety are a dilemma. If he is loyal to the country, he can't be filial to his knees. I... I don't blame him."

"He also said that the emperor said that their generation will fight a lot of battles, and they must fight all the battles they can. They must fight the majesty of our Han people so that future generations will not have to fight."

"I don't understand these reasons very well, but I know that my son will not lie to me, and the emperor will not lie to them."

"Now he is lying in the martyr's cemetery in the county, and his family has set up a tomb for him. There has never been a shortage of incense, blood and food for him. I have adopted the youngest son of the third family to him. He is also considered a successor. Very good."

Zhu Jinsong sighed, patted the old man's hand, and said: "I have indeed said that our generation must fight all the battles it can, fight the majesty of our Han people, fight a peaceful and prosperous world, and let our descendants Future generations will not have to fight."

The old man who spoke before also said: "Your majesty, you don't have to feel bad, I just know that although my second son and his second son both died on the battlefield, they did not die in vain. This is the same as before. It's not the same as being a soldier and eating food, so you have to work hard to fight, what else am I not satisfied with?"

Zhu Jinsong nodded vigorously, then turned his head and gave Empress Li a wink, and Empress Li called a group of children to surround her.

The playful laughter of the children finally dispelled the somewhat oppressive and heavy atmosphere.

Only the old dog Qian Deaf in the prison car has a dog's face that is cloudy and uncertain.

The old dog Qian Deaf really didn't expect that the sons of more than 30 families would join the army in such an unremarkable small village, and what was even more unexpected was that one of the sons of these two old men died on the battlefield, and the other Died in disaster relief, but no one hates Zhu Ni!

Qing……

The soldiers of the garrison battalion are not good, the soldiers of the green battalion are not good, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners are not good!

If you say let them kick the widow's door, dig a grave of an extinct family, etc., it is estimated that one is more capable than the other; if you let them die in battle, or let them die to save a common people they have never met, it is estimated that no one is capable. Can do it!
After being silent for a while, the old dog Qian Deaf looked at Zhu Jinsong and said: "Zhen... Great Qing, death is not wronged."
