Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 231 The good and the cheap do not marry?Which is good?Who is cheap?

Following Zhu Jinsong's announcement that he would seal out Zhu Laoer, Zhu Laosan, Liu Erniu and other bigwigs, let alone Liu Erniu and others couldn't sit still, and even followed Zhu Jinsong all the time. Zhang Dequan was also taken aback, thinking secretly in his heart.

The emperor promised in advance that he would seal XX out. Usually, there are only two possibilities for this to happen.

One situation is that the imperial court was in turmoil, and the emperor had to rely on real seals to buy people's hearts.

Another situation is that the emperor is ready to kill the donkey, and the promise is also to give these heroes the last chance.

For example, Qiyun Li Jiying, Wu Ruiwen, Shende, Shenggong, Ming Daxiao Emperor, at the beginning, after he finished fighting the world, he said that he wanted to confer titles of real power such as Marshal of Bingma or Lord Duke of the State.

Then, the founding generals of the Song Dynasty surrendered their military power on the grounds of fingernail pain and toenail inflammation.

Liu Erniu and the others are not worried that Zhu Jinsong will have a plan to kill a dog - the entire Ming army was built by Zhu Jinsong, and as long as Zhu Jinsong still has breath, Daming's army will not be chaotic, let alone Not to mention that we are still fighting a war, even if we want to cook, we wouldn't pick such a time.

Therefore, Liu Erniu, Zhang Dequan and others were worried that it was the court, and worried that there might be some kind of demon moth coming out of the civil servants?
However, when Zhang Dequan, Liu Erniu and others were thinking wildly, Zhu Jinsong knocked on the table and ordered Zhu Laosan: "Go get a map of the world."

After Zhu Laosan took the world map and laid it out, Zhu Jinsong pointed to the location of Alaska and said, "See this place? It is very close to the chief envoy of Vladivostok. There is not even enough space between the two nearest islands." Ten miles away."

"However, there are Danes and Tsarist Russians in this poor place, but there are no people from Daming. The distance between here and Daming is not far, nor is it close, but it is separated by the sea, and it is not easy for the imperial court to rule directly. Very convenient."

"So, I plan to wait for Xiao Jianlu to be driven to the territory of Tsarist Russia, and the North Sea Fleet will take this opportunity to get it. After the imperial court transfers some people there, I will take out this continent and give it to you."

"The area of ​​this continent is not too small. It is enough to enclose a hundred countries. The area of ​​each country will not be too small, but it will not be too large. If this is the case, I can rest assured, and the court can also rest assured. , you can rest assured."

After some gestures, Zhu Jinsong moved his finger to the territory of Europa: "There is also Europa, which is also far away from the mainland of Ming Dynasty. It is simply nonsense to say that the imperial court can directly rule such a large territory."

"Therefore, some small feudal states will be enfeoffed here, at least dozens or even hundreds of feudal states can be enfeoffed."

Zhu Jinsong stretched out his hand to pat the whole world map, and said, "Do you understand? The world is so big, but our Ming Dynasty only occupies such a small area. One-third of the world, but not even one-tenth of the territory, is this reasonable?"

Liu Erniu and the rest of the leaders of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion suddenly became excited.

Daming does not have hereditary titles now, even princes like the second and third have to be downgraded to hereditary titles.

For example, Liu Erniu, his current title is Duke of the county, his son can only inherit the title of Marquis of the county, his grandson can inherit the uncle of the county, and the next generation will be the son of the county and the man of the county, and there will be additional ones after the man of the county. The favor of a county man, and after the county man, it basically means getting rid of the noble.

The only way to keep the title is to make a big enough contribution—the achievement of destroying the country.

But changing to a fief is different.

After changing to a fiefdom, even if there is no achievement of destroying the country, his own children and grandchildren can still inherit the king's title. Even if the fiefdoms are further divided, at least they can be passed on for a few more generations, right?
Look at the stick, look at Cochin and Myanmar, how many generations have they been passed down?

More importantly, the fief has power. Although there is a Ming emperor on top of his head, he is the Tu emperor behind closed doors. There is no need to worry about the supervisory censor, Ducha censor, Jinyiwei, and guards. Come to the door!

However, when Liu Erniu and others were excited, Zhu Jinsong poured cold water on everyone: "Don't be too happy, now those sites are not in the hands of Daming, if you want to really seal , at least after killing eighth elder brother and fifteenth elder brother."

"There's also Bangzi. Once Zeng Cheng and the others have finished cheating Bangzi, it's time for you to go to the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army."

……

Just after leaving the examination room of Lingzhou County School, Pu Chengxing burst out laughing.

Elementary Chinese Test?

Knowing [-] characters, being able to dictate some sentences in "The Analects of Confucius", and being able to correctly understand the meaning that an article wants to express, this kind of difficult exam might be a bit difficult if it were replaced by those dwarfs from the Japanese country, but for As far as we are concerned, isn't this just sprinkling water?

Pu Chengxing couldn't help being happy when he thought that he would be able to get the naturalization certificate immediately, and that he would be able to get a complete Daming household registration after passing the advanced Chinese test next year.

However, Pu Chengxing's happiness did not last long.

Because when Pu Chengxing returned home and was about to show off to Cui Chengyu, who lived next door, he found that the head of the Lingzhou county government had already arrived at Cui Yucheng's house.

The master book, for a stick like Pu Chengxing who can read a few words, is already considered a big shot in the sky, but the big shot that Pu Chengxing can only look up to, is talking to Cui Chengyu with a smile .

Pu Chengxing was very dissatisfied, first he gave Cui Chengyu a look, then bowed his hands to the Master Registrar, and said: "Is the Master Registrar here to find the students? Unexpectedly, the students just passed the Chinese Elementary Test, and then they are forced to work. The Master Registrar will come to the door in person."

Yes, apart from this reason, Pu Chengxing really can't think of any other possibility - in the whole village, only he can read a few words, and only his own family can be considered a little rich, Mr. When you come to the village, the only possibility is to come to yourself.

It's just that because my parents left early, I had to lock the door at home when I went to take the elementary Chinese test. It is probably for this reason that the master bookkeeper came to Cui Chengyu's house to wait for me.

Otherwise, the Master Registrar could have come here on purpose to find Cui Chengyu, who is poor and illiterate?
Who would believe it!
But the master frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

Pu Chengxing cupped his hands and said: "The student is Pu Chengxing, isn't the Master Registrar here to look for the student?"

The master frowned and thought for a while, but he really couldn't think of the surname Pu, and seeing that Pu Chengxing was frivolous, he couldn't help but feel displeased, so he snorted coldly and said: "I'm here to look for Cui Chengyu. What does it matter to you? Still not backing down!"

Pu Chengxing was stunned immediately, and stammered and asked: "Is the Master Registrar joking with me? Looking for him? He can't read three characters, and he is the son of a pariah. What does the Master Registrar want from him?"

The word "untouchable" seemed to prick a thorn in Cui Chengyu's heart, but it also aroused the master's anger.

Cui Chengyuan, the master secretary, stood up from the stool, walked up to Pu Chengxing and stopped firmly, and asked, "Say it again, what is a son of a pariah?"

Being stared at by Cui Chengyuan so expressionlessly, Pu Chengxing was a little flustered, but when he thought that he would get the naturalization certificate immediately, Pu Chengxing felt confident again: "Isn't it? Marriage, he is a concubine and has children, so he is naturally a pariah."

Cui Chengyuan nodded, but suddenly he slapped Pu Chengxing on the face, and shouted: "Good and bad, don't you marry? I ask you, which is good? Which is cheap?"

"My uncle is a commoner of Ming Dynasty, my elder brother's biological mother is also a daughter of the Han family, even if my brothers of the same clan are descended from offshoots, they are also commoners of Ming Dynasty, you dare to say that the common people of Ming Dynasty are untouchables, how dare you! Come here! Beat me out with a stick!"

After Pu Chengxing was beaten out, Cui Chengyuan sat back on the chair again, and said to Cui Chengyu with a smile: "Brother, you don't need to talk about such villains. According to the genealogy left by your uncle, you are indeed from the same line of our Cui family." , are of the same family as my younger brother."

Speaking of this, Cui Chengyuan took out the household registration booklet that he had already prepared, filled in Cui Chengyu's name seriously, and then continued: "After Jiashen, the old man in our clan misses you a lot, but Tiannanhai Those in the north, lost contact for a while, there is nothing you can do, when you have time, you should go back to Daming to take a look, and you should also visit people of the same clan in the Hui clan."

"By the way, just now he said that you are the son of a concubine, so uncle should have had some family business before he was alive. Why did you come to my brother..."

Cui Chengyu tightly held the household registration booklet in his hand, and said bitterly: "Father did not leave any legitimate sons, and my mother was a concubine. It was better when my father was around. After my father passed away, they took away my father's family property." , I was neither allowed to study nor to farm, and I could only earn a living by doing some lowly work, and I also rented this dilapidated house.”

Having said this, Cui Chengyu's expression turned gloomy again: "If I follow the rule of not marrying the good and the poor here in Bangzi, I will only be able to marry the daughter of a pariah in the future, and the child I will give birth to will also be a pariah. Therefore, I actually planned not to get married."

Cui Chengyuan sneered, and said: "Since uncle has no heir, elder brother is the eldest son. Even if he is a concubine, uncle's family property should be inherited by you. Don't worry, brother, what they took away must be returned with interest." return!"

"As for saying that good and cheap are not married?"

Cui Chengyuan sneered again and said: "It is true that there should be such a rule, because my elder brother is a commoner of our Ming Dynasty, and his status is extremely noble, even that Princess Bangzi is just a bitch to my elder brother, how can I be worthy of my elder brother? "

"Brother, you have to remember, you can be a concubine, but you can't be a wife, not even the most noble daughter among those sticks, our Cui family can't afford to lose this person."

Cui Chengyu was a little timid, and after hesitating for a while, he tentatively said: "But, after all, I am a concubine..."

Cui Chengyuan said: "What happened to the concubine? Yuan Shaoyuan was originally a concubine, Fan Zhongyan and Fan Xianggong was a concubine, and Yin Jishan, a minister in the Yongzheng period of the former Qing Dynasty, was also a concubine. The division of concubine and concubine in our Central Plains is only within the aristocratic family. You can be an official, you can farm, you can do business through the imperial examination, why do you underestimate yourself because you are a concubine?"

"What's more, although my aunt is my uncle's concubine, she is also a daughter of the Han family, and not his bastard's lowly daughter. Although my elder brother is a concubine, he is no different from a legitimate wife."

After finishing speaking, Cui Chengyuan took out two more documents and handed them to Cui Chengyu, explaining one by one: "This is your land deed, the deed, the land has a hundred acres, if you marry a wife and have children, the government will divide it separately." field."

"However, it is forbidden to buy or sell land. There are several situations where the government will take back these fields. One is that you serve as an official in the army, and the government will take back these fields and redistribute them after you get old or leave the army. Second, after your death , these fields should also be taken back to the government and redistributed to others.”

"As for the house deed, although you can't help buying and selling it, like in Daming, the government will not give you a house. The situation here is a bit special, and the house is only assigned when you are busy. If it is not a last resort, brother should not sell it. it is good."

Cui Chengyuan got up from the stool again, and said to Cui Chengyu: "Let's go, younger brother, take elder brother to see the house allocated to you first, and you go back to the county with me in the evening, and tomorrow morning, younger brother will take you to beat the drum and file a complaint, and take it back to uncle." Leave it to your family!"
