Chapter 1431
The rain is like filaments, it is no longer pouring a few days ago, but the sky is getting gloomier and I don't know when it will be clear. Ying Yi passed by Zhuxian Town, a desolation amidst the vast dimness.
At the entrance, inside and outside Zhuxian Town, under the woods, in the stone mountain, in the potholes, as long as there is a little shelter from the rain, there are all thiefs who follow.
Some dry corpses were exposed in the mud, and their faces were flooded by mud water. The old and weak women and children were humiliated by the strong and fierce, and each of them was either hideous like a beast, or numb like a walking corpse.
Occasionally, disputes break out, and murderers are not uncommon.
Cannibalism is the norm-some fresh bones piled in the mud.
Life is the least valuable here.
Ying Yi saw these and even doubted whether his decision was correct. Are these people also necessary for salvation?
But three 100,000!
He sighed in his heart.
Old Ancestor uses "li" to regulate moral behavior, the fundamental purpose is to promote humanity and eliminate animality. Man is a man, not a beast. Human nature is greater than animal nature.
However, in the era of the end of the dynasty, morality has fallen, human nature is suppressed by animal nature, and all sorts of incredible things have happened.
The crime of Li Chuang, although there is a reason, was because the Imperial Court was rotten and the official law was corrupted. But the crime of beast cannibalism is unforgivable.
Here is three 100,000. After Ying Yi sighed, she did not change her mind. Although cannibals cannot be forgiven, it is not without humanity.
I also saw some young and strong supporting the old and the weak, and some old and the weak caring for young children.
This is the place worth saving.
"It is to support the old, teach the young, and support the widows, widows and the widows..." Ying Yi's heart was throbbing.
Three 100,000 people in Zhuxian Town are a huge group. How to sort out and arrange them is not a trivial matter. In all aspects involved, selecting the good and punishing the evil, whether it is food or accommodation, requires careful planning. However, Ying Yi, as the leader of the party, does not personally manage it.
It can be regarded as a kind of tempering for the military. At present three 100,000, the future will rule more than this, 3 million, thirty million, three absolutely...
The vast Divine Province, Yanhuang Miao, Ying Yi said: "Dare to be the first in the world, this patriarch , I'm set!"
After passing Zhuxian Town, Ying Yi's heart is still a little heavy.
Cao Mengde once said: I would rather bear others than others. Ying Yi has much experience. Negative, or it can be betrayal, but it can also be a burden.
I will bear others instead of others. I will be the patriarch and bear all of this.
After Zhuxian Town, Kaifeng is not far away. Kaifeng was the city of Central Plains, and it was the capital in the Northern Song Dynasty. It has always had a large population and a prosperous economy. Although Kaifeng is not the capital of Great Ming, it is also one of the very best city. Inside and outside the city, there are millions of households and several millions of people.
The thief poisoned Central Plains, and the Kaifeng commander cleared the wilderness with a strong wall and moved the commoners outside the city into the city. Unfortunately, being under siege, unable to communicate with inside and outside, a pool of stagnant water made the city increasingly scarce.
The critical juncture is approaching right now.
According to the original history, the thieves would still be besieged for a period of time, leaving the city with no provisions, and the commoners had nothing to do with food and clothing. Then they burst the embankment and released water, drowning all the commoners in the city!
It's okay now, and I can persist.
Ying Yi glanced at Kaifeng from a distance, the mud outside the city, the traces of the wars in the past, are still clearly visible, the rain has not been washed away. A huge city, lying in the mist and rain, like a dying giant beast, in Ying Yi's eyes, it showed a decadent and Death breath, without any vitality.
Ying Yi sighed, turned and walked away.
In Ying Yi's eyes, the thief is no longer afraid. If he wants to hit it, it's easy. But it was not the thief who worries Ying Yi, but the commoners all over the city.
Millions of households, several millions of people!
The three counties of Nanyang have only collected more than one hundred thousand. And there are several millions in Kaifeng. With the addition of three 100,000 in Zhuxian Town, this huge burden made Ying Yi silent.
Although he had already ordered Sun Xiucai to purchase unmeasured grain through Zheng's Trading Company, the rations of millions of people could not be solved in one sentence.
Fortunately, Ying Yi has a bottom line in her heart-this Kaifeng city, how many rich and honorable people are all Ying Yi's goals.
The rich, rich and honorable at the end of the Great Ming Dynasty, from now on, no dynasty can be compared-there is no lower limit to morality.
Kaifeng was originally a great city, among which the rich, rich and honorable, not as good as the Southern Beijing Division, and ranked among the top five. Among them, the rich, rich and honorable are innumerable. But they are all idiots who come in but don't come out.
They would rather bury the grain in the cellar to become moldy than to do something good when the country is ruined. I would rather make gold and silver into winter melons and bury them strictly, rather than pay a small amount of tax for the country.
Ying Yi has reason to believe that even if the commoners in the city starve to death, they can still get a lot of gold and silver from the noble cellars in the city!
Yes, Kaifeng has been able to persist until now, and Zhou Wang has contributed to it. He took out a large amount of gold and silver food to supply the army, boosting morale. But Zhou Wang will not take care of the commoners all over the city.
The clan of the Great Ming Dynasty Old Zhu's family is also a wonderful work in the past dynasties. In order to prevent the chaos of the kings, and to ensure the core orthodoxy, Zhu Hongwu raised the clan, except that he could not be an official or the army, but he could do everything else.
Because this sect room is often a big businessman and a big landlord. There is money and food.
Of course, this is only a small part. Many people think that the Great Ming Dynasty has reached its late stage and there are several 100,000 or hundreds of myriad sects to support. The amount of salary the country will pay each year has dragged down the country’s finances.
Indeed, to a certain extent, it is a drag on the national finances. But in fact, not so many people can get salary.
Generally speaking, apart from the main line, there are only three generations. For example, this lineage of the Zhou king, the original Zhou king’s heirs, except for the one that can inherit the king’s nobility, are descended from generation to generation. Basically, after three generations, the title will be reduced to the point where they can’t get the Imperial Court salary. If they can’t Housekeeping, life is no different from commoners.
The kings everywhere are indeed the landlords, and they actually look down on the salary of the Imperial Court. For example, the Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou kings of the past dynasties have accumulated a lot of family business. Whether it is shops or land, it is the crown of Kaifeng. Even if it is rent collection, it is countless times more than the salary of the Imperial Court.
However, these princes were seen by the officials, and the clan below the princes, the civil officials did not put them in their eyes at all.
Looking through the history books, except for a few princes who popped out from time to time to leave a name, there is not even a name below the prince.
Since the power of civil officials, the generals and clan families of the Great Ming Dynasty have been suppressed severely. They are not the ones who really compete with the country for the majority of interests. The cliques that collude with the civil landlords and businessmen are the most powerful.
After saying so much, just one sentence, the millions of commoners in Kaifeng, Ying Yi is sure to be able to afford it. In the city of Kaifeng, there are a lot of fat pigs, but if you kill a batch to get the meat, you can keep going.
