Entering the imperial city, the first trouble Lin Yuan had to deal with was the arrested civil and military officials-they all wanted to escape with Emperor Yuan Hui, and for convenience, most of them only brought their sons, wives and daughters. They stayed outside. As for whether they can survive, it doesn't matter to them.

These people are now locked in the side hall.

There are both Han and Mongolians. Fortunately, the Mongolians gritted their teeth and didn't speak.

Most of the Han officials begged the soldiers.

"Master Bing, I am a Han Chinese, and we are of the same race." The posture of being an official was lowered. In the past, he never looked at these little soldiers, but now he wants to beg for food under the hands of the little soldiers, he said flatly. I am an official in the Yuanting Court, so I have to do it. You think, we Han people still have to twist into a rope. I'm trying to be brave. You can talk to the boss for me..."

The soldier almost didn't laugh out loud, he had seen shameless people, and such shameless people were still rare.

But of course he would not let this Han Chinese out.

When this person goes back, he will inevitably be beaten up. As for whether he is alive or dead after the beating is finished, it is uncertain.

Lin Yuan didn't care about it now, so he handed it all over to Robben. He only looked at the results and left Robben at will.

People can kill, but it's better to kill.

He himself discussed with Song Shizhao about the common people.

Most people are different from people in other places. The people under the imperial city have little money. Except for the poor on the edge of the city, those who can live in the inner city are all with a collection of books and servants. Most of them are literate. The ancestors may not have been officials, but they must have family education.

Some of these people were fleeing-but most were stopped.

Most of them are very tolerant places. Kublai made a good start. He opened up trade routes and showed tenderness to the people, reducing land taxes. Even in many places, there is no land tax. His eyes are not on people’s taxation. , But the businessman.

The Yuan Dynasty was once a dynasty full of flowers. It had its avant-garde and brilliance. Otherwise, its short history of less than one hundred years, why was it listed in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties? There is gold in front.

Therefore, in most cities, there are not only Han people, Mongolians, but also fair-haired, blue-eyed, or red-haired Huren.

This is the time of Emperor Hui Emperor. It was not the most prosperous period of the Yuan Dynasty before, but the Yuan Dynasty can still attract so many people here.

Food everywhere, people from different regions, and different architectural styles.

Lin Yuan couldn't help sighing when he entered the city.

If Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan knew in the spring, they would probably be resurrected with anger, and then they would kill all their offspring.

The ancestor made a good start, but the successor did not hold on, which is really frustrating.

After all, Lin Yuan is a modern person. He received the education of Greater China. In his eyes, ethnic minorities are also compatriots.

He did not look at the Yuan Dynasty with hatred towards the Mongols like others, but with a more rational look.

The Yuan Dynasty naturally had a good place, pitying the people and benefiting the people, opening up trade routes, and the people could migrate without guides. There was also paper and pen, a currency reform that predates the times.

However, the Yuan Dynasty also had its bad points. To be precise, it was not bad, but bad too early.

Every dynasty reached the end of the period. Corrupt officials and officials, the people did not have a living, the people could only stand up to find a way to survive, but the collapse of the Yuan Dynasty came faster.

Too many emperors have been changed, and each emperor has different ideas and gives different orders.

Maybe he died before he learned how to be an emperor.

Lin Yuan said to Song Shizhao: "You can't let them go. It doesn't matter if the poor people on the edge of the city are gone. The people in the inner city are gone. If the capital wants to regain its previous anger, it will probably take five years."

When Song Shizhao heard of Jingcheng, he said twice in his mouth, and suddenly said: "Jingcheng! This is a good name! The king's spirit suddenly appeared!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "You only hear this."

Song Shizhao then replied: "The people are all chasing profits. Now they want to leave, but they are afraid that the capital will change the owner to take them, or **** their wealth for enjoyment and insult their wives and sisters."

"As long as they discover your generosity, they will naturally stay."

"It's better to kill a group of officials and kill the corrupt officials who controlled them in the past, so that they can feel at ease."

The reason is simple. It is to tell the people: "You used to listen to the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty and were persecuted by these officials, so I don't trouble you. I'm looking for this official. If these officials die, you will be fine."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Mr. kills an official but he is really not merciful."

This made Lin Yuan a little shocked.

After all, officials are the ruling class, and Song Shizhao is also the ruling class. Although the masters of allegiance are different, the essence is the same.

Therefore, officials don’t like to kill officials, and they don’t want to see someone sue officials. No one knows if they will be the next to die. If a colleague falls, will he fall too? If you think too much, you will feel sad.

Officials protect each other, sometimes not just because they get benefits, but more about their own interests.

So a Bao Qingtian is enough for the common people to sing for so many years.

Even though many of Bao Qingtian's deeds were added later, the wishes and expectations of the people can be clearly seen.

They are afraid of officials and hope that those above their heads can control these officials and don't let them bully them too much.

But they themselves didn't dare to resist, so they could only hope that they could have a blue sky or an emperor who made private visits.

Song Shizhao hurriedly said, "The minister is not equal to them."

This was Song Shizhao's first time to be a minister. Lin Yuan was not angry. The two looked at each other, with clear smiles in their eyes.

"In that case, leave it to the sir."

Song Shizhao quickly got up, then bowed on his knees to salute.

Lin Yuan did not stop him.

——

"Mother, eat." The little doll, who was not waist-high, held a piece of cake in her hand and handed it to the woman's mouth.

The woman smiled at her son: "Mother is not hungry, you eat."

Little Wawa didn't believe it, she had to watch the woman eat it before putting her hand down.

The man said to the side: "You can eat, or he will have to make trouble for a long time."

The woman took a small bite of the cake: "Mother, I ate it."

Little Wawa was happy, and went to find Dad with a cake.

After the child was asleep, the woman asked her husband: "When can we leave here? Those soldiers... didn't kill, maybe they would let us go?"

Their family originally lived in an inner city. The young couple moved out of their own home after they got married. With a small family, because the man is the youngest son, he is not only favored but also has no obligation to support his parents. Parents are generally The obligations of the eldest son.

The wife weaves and spins at home, and the husband has a small stall outside. The cloth that the wife weaves is just enough to cover the tax of the husband’s business. The family doesn’t say how good it is, but it’s not bad. They saved it early. After getting the money, I have to send my son to my husband to enlighten and study. If he can read it out and worship a good master, he may be an official. If he can't become an official, he can do more money-making work.

Whether it is the accountant or the shopkeeper, they are more expensive than ordinary workers.

But what they didn't expect was that the world had changed before the children grew up. When the children landed, there was a reaction from the outside. Although most of them were still singing and dancing, the people had already begun to panic.

What if it hits most of them one day?

After a few years, the outsiders were still beating, but they hadn't hit most, and the people were relieved again.

I feel that the anti-thief can't be beaten, and they can continue to spend their birthdays in most cities.

Although the taxes are getting higher and higher, the filial piety that the adults want more and more, but they can still live on. There is always food in the grain store, and the price is higher, but you can’t die from starvation.

later……

Later, the price of food became higher and higher, and I heard that some people in the outer city had starved to death.

In winter, some families can't afford carbon, the firewood is out in the middle of the night, and the family freezes to death.

Although it is an exaggeration to say that it was freezing to death, it is also true. At this time, there is a cold, and there is not enough clothing to keep out the cold, plus fever and can't afford medicine. There is almost no possibility of survival, just like freezing to death.

People finally discovered that most of them are not as safe as they thought.

The merchants are driving up food prices, because they are profitable, and the court does not care about them. The adults above still have to respect them, and the more they demand, the more they can’t live their lives.

This is the majority!

In most cities, there are people selling girls!

Just for a living ration, even the wife can give it away.

Then... the soldiers of the Southern King came over. They heard the sound of thunderous horseshoes and footsteps, and saw countless soldiers walking by in the street. They looked so mighty, so strong, so scared.

They are afraid, afraid that these soldiers will burn their houses, rob their wives and daughters, insult and torture them.

So they fled, fleeing to a farther place, and live without fear.

But when they escaped, they found that they couldn’t leave. The whole city was surrounded. They were only allowed to go in and not to come out. But the soldiers just drove them back without killing them, so many people were around the city. After staying there, they even built a thatched hut and lived here.

But there are always various inconveniences, the water source is a problem, they are too far away from the river.

So someone went to the soldier to beg for water-this man was so thirsty that he was so dizzy when he watched the soldier drink water, he could not help it.

What people did not expect was that he actually got it! A water bladder! It was full of water. After he drank it, he shared it with relatives and friends, and then returned the water bag to the soldier. He actually became friends with the soldier.

A few more days later, the person begging for water appeared in the soldier, and he went as a soldier.

This can surprise the people.

The wife said to her husband, "Or...Let’s go back. We live in a thatched cottage every day. It is wet and damp. How nice are we at home? Didn’t the father-in-law and mother-in-law go out of the city? The South Bodhisattva, maybe really a good person? Those who serve as soldiers Yes, I probably won't come to kill and set fire?"

The husband hesitated for a long time, until the son was already sleeping on his wife’s lap before he whispered, “Let’s go back in the middle of the night.”

They came out with the neighbors. If they ran back in front of the neighbors, wouldn't they become traitors?

It's better to avoid people.
