Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 415 It Can Be Done Like This!
March 27, the first year of Jiajing, was definitely an extraordinary day for the people of the Ming Dynasty.

For the people in the capital, it was even more thrilling day!
Except for the patrolling soldiers and the Beijing army mobilized by the emperor, all the people under martial law stayed at home and waited for the Tiangou eclipse.

The crowd went from being nervous and excited at the beginning to slowly slacking off, and after most of the day, the sun actually hid little by little.

In an instant, a crowd of people crowded in the courtyard.

"Tengu is really going to eat the sun!"

Someone couldn't help shouting in panic.

The family members crowded out when they heard the noise.

Soon, almost every household heard the noise.

"The dog is eclipsing the sun! The dog is eclipsing the sun!"

Looking at the sky that was still bright before, it was almost noon, and suddenly it was like entering dusk, and the crowd became excited.

"What if the dog eats the sun this day? If we don't go to the streets to beat gongs and drums to scare away the dog, will there be no sun in the future? Then we will always live in darkness, and Without the sun, everything cannot grow, crops cannot produce food, will we be hungry..."

Someone said worriedly.

"Then shall we take things directly to the street?"

Someone agreed.

"But the government has already said that if we go to the streets and catch them, we will go to prison! No, whoever goes to the streets first will be hacked to death! Also, we will not be hacked to death, but we will implicate the people who are with us. By the time……"

Someone at home timidly reminded.

Everyone became timid, and some began to retreat.

After all, this is a small group with a family as the unit. Even if it is encouraged, its strength is still relatively small.

If people gather together, once someone raises it and someone responds, it will lead to unknown consequences.

This is why Qin Shao asked the people to stay at home, affixed a seal to each household, and set up a security chief for every 10 households, and implemented a joint punishment system.

That is to say, if one family makes a mistake, the other nine families will be punished in the same way.

Therefore, if you act blindly, except for the problem, even if the government does not punish you severely, it is estimated that the other nine schools may tear you apart!
It's getting dark fast!
Just as the sound of crowds swelled in the yards of each house, the torches of the patrols outside were quickly lit up to polish the night sky, and the shouts of officers and soldiers came quickly.

"Everyone stay at home and don't understand! There are no tengus! This is a normal solar eclipse phenomenon, the sun is covered by the shadow of the moon, and it only takes half a cup of tea for the sun to come out. Keep quiet and stay safe. impatient!"

"Everyone stay at home and don't understand! There is no tengu! This is a normal solar eclipse phenomenon, the sun is covered by the shadow of the moon, and the sun can come out with only half a cup of tea. Keep quiet and stay safe!"

"It only takes half a cup of tea to come out, keep quiet, stay safe and don't be impatient!"

The sound of officers and soldiers running and shouting quickly spread to the streets and alleys.

The effort of half a cup of tea?

Many people were a little confused and afraid at first. I heard that in such a short period of time, and with the presence of officers and soldiers, many people gradually settled down.

The effort of half a cup of tea, which is about 5 minutes in later generations, is not too long.

The yelling and the night sky lit by torches gradually calmed down the restless atmosphere in the capital.

……

On the observatory.

Wu Yue excitedly recorded the changes of the solar eclipse at various times.

Little Sanzi had no choice but to have someone light him up with a torch and ask him to record.

When he came out, Qin Shao told him that if Wu Yue had any requirements, he could just copy them.

"Your Majesty is a god! God! Sure enough, there is no such thing as a heavenly dog ​​eclipsing the sun, it is a celestial phenomenon! It is a natural celestial phenomenon!"

Wu Yue observed and muttered to himself again and again to record the changes in the celestial phenomena.

……

"Father, why is it getting dark? Can I go to bed now?"

The eldest son asked Qin Shao by the corner of his clothes.

"No, it won't take a word, and the sun will come out!"

Qin Shao picked up his son.

"Father!"

Han Jinrong also came over at some point.

Candles were lit in the palace, it was really like night, but everyone was calm and busy with their work step by step.

"Where's the second child and Fuai?"

Qin Shao saw her coming alone.

"Tired from playing, rest now!"

Qin Shao thought about it, it was actually not until noon, so why did he take a rest?
Thinking about those two little Pi Shi, they didn't have a good rest yesterday, so they probably were sleepy now, so they fell asleep, which is considered a lunch break!
"Father!"

As soon as Han Jinrong finished speaking, Wang Yin walked in.

Qin Shao put down his eldest son and asked Han Jinrong to take him out.

"How's it going outside?"

Qin Shao asked quietly.

"My lord, everything is going according to plan! The people were a little agitated at first, but with patrols and guards to maintain it, everything has settled down now, no problem!"

"No problem, the sun will come out in a while, and the follow-up work is the most important thing. Send them orders to follow up and follow up!"

According to records, the longest total solar eclipse lasted less than 7 minutes, which is actually very short.

People in ancient times shouted loudly with gongs and drums, and the sun came out in a short time. They thought it was their movement that scared the so-called dog to run away. They didn't know that the time of solar eclipse was very short. If you didn't move, it would still come out. .

"Yes!"

……

The work of half a cup of tea.

With the sound of commotion coming from every house, the sun gradually emerged from the shadows step by step.

"The sun is rising! The sun is rising!"

Someone shouted loudly.

"Yes, the sun has risen!"

Someone soon joined in.

After a while, the sun quickly emerged from the shadows, and it was clear outside.

"Does this mean that there is no such thing as a tengu? You see, we didn't beat the gongs and drums, and the sun came out this day! Does that mean that the tengu is a lie!"

Questions were raised.

"The total solar eclipse is over! Martial law is over, you can go to the streets as normal, no gatherings!"

"The total solar eclipse is over! Martial law is over, you can go to the streets as normal, no gatherings!"

Soon, the patrol team on the street was dispatched again. Some yamen servants beat gongs and drums for a while and then shouted, and the martial law was lifted from time to time.

can go out?

Can you really go out?

The people who had accepted the martial law at home instantly became excited again.

You know, just after the big shock, many people have a desire to share, but now that the ban is suddenly lifted, the idea of ​​flying out has long been on the verge of coming out.

But dreams are suddenly so easy to realize, which often makes people a little unbelievable.

"Did the outside say we can go out?"

A husband asked his wife in disbelief.

"If you are not deaf, you should be! Go out if you want to go out! But no one else has gone out, so will we go out first..."

This is a couple who work in a butcher shop.

The couple are practical, capable and able to bear hardships. Butcher Zhao has a big waist and a round waist. He looks tall and strong, but his temper is like a plasticine.

Although their butcher's shop is called Zhao Butcher's Meat Shop, in fact the head of the family is Mrs. Zhao's sister-in-law.

"Miss, you are right! Let's go out first if other people don't go out, in case those changes..."

Butcher Zhao stopped immediately when he wanted to run out.

"Old Zhao! Old Zhao!"

A cry came from beyond the next wall.

Butcher Zhao felt that the voice was familiar, and when he looked up, Wang Ergou's head, which was brighter than Gou Tianguo's, was exposed on the next wall.

It turned out that he was stepping on the ladder and looking this way, but he was not very tall, and the ladder was a bit short, only the part above the eyes was exposed.

Wang Ergou, formerly known as Wang Si, is a down-and-out rich second generation.

His father was originally a well-known grain merchant in the capital. He owned three grain stores and made a lot of money.

It's just that when the thieves were in chaos, Father Wang was greedy, and he suppressed the grain and wanted to go to the disaster area to sell it at a high price, not wanting to lose his life.

The old wife in his family is gone, and he married a beautiful concubine. He is living a good life, even though his son Wang Ergou is out of tune and spends his days drinking and drinking.

Thinking about the training fee for the tuba, if it doesn’t work, let the concubine give me a trumpet to practice again!

Fortunately, the little concubine was upbeat, and within half a year after entering the house, she had a big belly. She encouraged Father Wang to go out and make more money, and save more money for her children, so as not to let their big sister ruin the whole family!
Under the instigation of his lovely wife, Father Wang directly led people south, and of course he lost his life very quickly.

After Mr. Wang died, Ergou Wang took over the family. Just when everyone thought Mr. Hu's concubine would compete with his stepson for property, he was actually kind and filial, and lived in harmony.

In the second year, the little concubine Xie Shi, who had already been made regular by Father Wang, gave birth to a son vigorously. Wang Ergou was very like an elder brother, and he treated his stepbrother like his own son, and the family was harmonious. very!

However, Wang Ergou did not get rid of his habit of drinking and drinking. The three grain stores in his family soon merged into two, and later even one.

The yard where they live is also the original big house, and now it is moved to be next to Zhao Tuhu's house.

"Old Wang, what are you doing?"

Butcher Zhao looked at Old Wang next door, wondering what this man was going to do!
"Hi, sister-in-law Zhao!"

Wang Ergou's eyes lined up with a smile and looked at Mrs. Zhao, the pork Xishi.

"Old Zhao, sister-in-law, it is said that the martial law has been lifted and you can go out, do you want to go out together and have a look!"

Wang Ergou looked at Butcher Zhao, but his eyes turned to Mrs. Zhao.

"Old Wang, you heard that too, right? You can go out now! If you want to go out, I will go out too, let's all go out and have a look!"

Butcher Zhao didn't pay attention to the flamboyant eyebrows of the old Wang next door, and said a little excitedly.

Being able to go out with someone can also strengthen your courage, you must know that they are Tiangou Shiri who have just experienced a catastrophe, no!Today is called a total solar eclipse, go out and see it, it is like getting a new life, the joy is hard to control.

"All out! All out!"

Several voices echoed together.

……

Despite the patrols, the streets of the capital quickly filled with people.

Although I didn't dare to make a loud commotion or discuss anything.

But the crowd still gathered in groups of three or five, talking in low voices from time to time.

"Oh! Your Majesty's prediction was correct. There really will be a eclipse of the dog, no! What is it called a total solar eclipse! It turns out that the dog really does not exist, and the sun will really come out this day without beating gongs and drums! "

Someone sighed.

"That's right, Your Majesty is really a god! Not only can you predict it, you can see if you can beat the gongs and drums, but you can also say that this thing can come out in only half a cup of tea. If it really comes out, do you think Your Majesty is a god?" Down to earth!"

"I don't know if it's a god, but this majesty is destined to be the true king! This time, because of your majesty, we escaped the disaster. Anyway, we will believe what the above says from now on!"

"Yes! Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

I don't know who will take the lead, and there are still people who want to do something to show Qin Shao. Many people in the capital, led by some people, bowed towards the palace gate together to thank them.

This matter lasted for a short period of time, and was soon persuaded to leave.

The streets returned to normal, and many shops began to open for business.

In the originally tense capital, everything returned to normal in less than half a day.

……

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Qin Shao sat at the top, and there was a group of people below.

Zhang Cong, Yan Song, Wang Qiong, Guo Xun, Jiang Bin, Lin Tong, Wang Yun and others sat at the bottom, all of them looked excited.

Qin Shao didn't invite them.

After yesterday's total solar eclipse, these people sat in the sun today, and by coincidence, they all sent papers to see them, and Qin Shao simply asked them to come together.

"Your Majesty! It's a dog eclipse day, no! The total solar eclipse is really... really just like what you said, it's really... real and amazing! You are more real than the real king! You... have you worshiped... What god do you worship?"

Lin Tong never hides his armpits when speaking.

Even though he has done his duty these past few days and behaved calmly in front of his subordinates, God knows how excited he is!
Your Majesty is so predictable!Do not!In his eyes, that was not expected, but clearly a god!

How could he know such details and predict so accurately? If he hadn't known him for a short time, he even wondered if this new monarch was the reincarnation of some god.

In fact, he is not the only one who thinks the same as him, and the same people who sit at the bottom like him are also the same, but they are not as straightforward as him.

For example, Zhang Cong, Wang Qiong, and Yan Song are considered half-atheists at all. They wonder how His Majesty can calculate so accurately, and how can he be so capable?
"There are no so-called gods in this world, and the so-called Tiangou eclipse is just a legend and superstition! Its real name is a solar eclipse, and it will appear every one or two years!"

Qin Shao said lightly.

"Every year or two?"

The people below couldn't help screaming.

After that, it will appear every one or two years and it’s worth it!This God is too unpredictable!
They didn't believe it would happen so many times, but the person above seemed to never break his promise!
If you come here once in a year or two, every time there is such a big movement, it will be really tiring!
"It happens once every one or two years, but not every time this happens, and not every time we see it, some appear in other places! We can see very few solar eclipses, and we can see them too. It’s lucky, for example, this solar eclipse, some places, such as Tubo, can’t be seen! This involves a lot of natural science knowledge, if you understand some scientific knowledge, you will understand that these are not terrible!”

Qin Shao continued to explain.

It still needs a process for the public to understand, but those who are sitting here are all the main members of his current team, who can be regarded as elites, so it is natural to popularize this knowledge to them first.

Although Qin Shao spoke in a relaxed and indifferent manner, after hearing his words, the strikers sat in a more solemn posture, and their attitude towards him became more respectful.

A king who knows so much about celestial phenomena is definitely a saintly existence!

Don't say that His Majesty is now a five-yuan in the scientific examination, and almost became the champion, which impressed everyone, but now he can predict the celestial phenomena!

Even if these people say that they are not god-men, how is it different from god-men?

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, the Heavenly Dog Eclipse does not exist, then linking the Heavenly Dog Eclipse with the government and the monarchy should be a deliberately fabricated rumor and scam!"

Zhang Cong stood up and said respectfully.

"Bingyong's words are very true, it can be said to hit the nail on the head! That is definitely a heresy with evil intentions, including the flooding of the palace. It is just a trick to intentionally hold the king hostage!"

Qin Shao sneered.

"Your Majesty, those people dare to plot against His Majesty in such a way that I am willing to tear them into pieces!"

Jiang Bin stood up and said.

Soon the people around stood up and echoed.

"It's just a pity that those people committed suicide. If they are left alive, things will be easier!"

Wang Qiong said with some regret.

"It's good to be dead! If you're dead, you can't speak, so let the living speak for them!"

Qin Shao laughed.

Let the living speak for them?
Everyone was puzzled and looked at Qin Shao.

Qin Shao whispered.

Everyone suddenly realized.

This thing can still be done like this!
Why didn't they think of it?
