Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Han people not only have to help them with work, but also serve them, and even wash their feet for them.

Being pampered and nourished all day long has gradually changed their original appearance, which is also the main reason for their huge changes.

Huang Degong immediately walked towards a woman from the east, and raised her chin with his hand:

"I want this, are you willing to go with this general?"

The woman nodded without hesitation:

"Yes, let the general arrange."

Huang Degong was almost intimidated by this woman's straightforward words. She was indeed different from us Han women. They spoke and acted too straightforwardly, and they didn't feel shy at all. They were only suitable for servants and concubines.

Huang Degong tried to ask again:

"Why did you answer so simply? Do you know what this sentence means?"

"I know, from now on, the slave will be the general's servant, and he will definitely serve the general as best he can."

With such self-knowledge and complete familiarity, it seems that the emperor is right, they are the trophies of the strong and do not have their own thoughts.

The results of the exchanges between the other soldiers and the Dong captive women were almost the same as Huang Degong's. After being brought to Daming, these women had accepted their fate, and no one resisted or refused at all.

Yan Yingyuan walked around among them, and then selected two young and beautiful ones for Qi Jiguang:

"This is our commander-in-chief. You must serve him well in the future, or you will be thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves."

The two women hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed:

"Obey, general, don't worry, the servant will take good care of the general."

Just as Qi Jiguang was about to refuse, the two women had already stood up and stood behind him.

Thinking of being surrounded by soldiers and not having a single servant, let alone a woman, Qi Jiguang did not refuse.

Seeing that the governor Qi Jiguang had acquiesced, the other generals immediately began to choose the person they liked, and soon there were two barbarian women standing beside everyone.

But Yan Yingyuan and Li Dingguo had no choice. They were still young and planned to marry their regular wives first and then take concubines. Qi Jiguang looked at them and did not force them.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished choosing, Qi Jiguang immediately asked the soldiers to hand over the notes to the remaining barbarian women, who still had seventy to eighty thousand.

After the soldiers handed over the notes to the barbarian woman, the commander of the Ming army began to call his number, and with the woman whose number was called in his hand, he immediately went to gather around them.

This method is very good. It is not only orderly, but also avoids wasting time by choosing.

With so many people, if they all choose, many soldiers will be dazzled, and it is estimated that they will not be able to complete it in a day.

It took about half a day, and most of these women were already married, and the remaining few thousand will be rewarded to other meritorious soldiers.

These women are different from Han women in that they do not have their feet bound, and they are much better at doing things than Han women. Han women have small feet and cannot do heavy work at all.

After this end, the generals will come to another place.

The temporary residents here are all women brought back from Liaodong. They have suffered all these years, and now they are going to stand up and become the masters.

Because they are all compatriots, they were not gathered in the snow, but all gathered in a dozen tents.

If you fancy a girl from the Han family, you must obtain their consent before taking them away. There are still human rights here, and they must be treated differently from barbarians.

There were soldiers in charge of propaganda, and they introduced the situation tent by tent, and they soon knew what was going on.

It turned out that they were going to be wives for the soldiers, and they were all very happy. They could finally live a normal life and have a family.

For the demands of the soldiers, these sisters did not have any conditions or objections, as long as someone took a fancy to them, they would choose to follow.

Things went smoothly, and the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition basically had their own families and servants.

From now on, they can train during the day or go to battle to kill the enemy, and when they go home at night, someone will warm their beds. All of them have the determination and enthusiasm to defend Daming to the death.

All the soldiers knew that the current happy life was given by the emperor, and was bought by the soldiers with their lives and blood. Compared with those soldiers who died in battle, they were all lucky.

This kind of stable and happy life is absolutely not allowed to be destroyed by anyone. If anyone dares to violate Daming, they will immediately take up arms and defend desperately.

Tobe

The household department of the Ming Dynasty, Ni Yuanlu, the minister of the household department, and a group of officials of the household department are stepping up the statistics of this year's tax revenue.

The data that should have been counted a few days ago felt that there were some errors in the data, so they started to count again.

The officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs knew very well that the data handed over to the Holy Majesty must be accurate, otherwise, if the Emperor glared at him, someone might be dismissed from office.

"Master Ni, it's really strange. The second time the data is calculated, why is it still almost the same as the first time, and there is not much difference. What should I do?"

The servant of the household department held the account book in his hand, and reported to Ni Yuanlu, the secretary of the household department, with a sad face. Ni Yuanlu looked at the officials under his command, but was also speechless.

Re-counting again, the time must be too late, it has already exceeded the deadline by so many days, and the emperor was still asking two days ago, so it can't be delayed any longer.

He stretched out his hand to take the account book and read it carefully, then said helplessly:

"The difference between the two data is so small, there shouldn't be any problem, but how can I report this amount to His Majesty? I can't blame the Holy One if he doesn't like his temper."

Seeing the anxious look of Ni Yuanlu, Minister of the Household Department, the minister of the Household Department shook his head and persuaded:

"My lord, we have really worked hard, but we really can't find out where the problem is. Why don't we just leave it to the Holy Majesty, or go home and farm."

"Hey, that's all I can do. I'm going to report to the emperor right now. There are still many places waiting to use the money. We can't delay any more."

Ni Yuanlu, Minister of the Household Department, went out in a sedan chair with the account book of the Household Department, and went directly to the Qianqing Palace, feeling extremely disturbed along the way.

He feels that this year's Spring Festival must be difficult. The majestic household department can't even calculate the accounts well, the emperor must be furious.

Chapter 327

After Zhu Youjian returned to Qianqing Palace from the arsenal, he felt a little complicated.

He is not only happy about the development of Ming Dynasty's military industry, but also worried and angry about the problems of the people. It has been half a year since the reform, but there are still people who cannot solve the problem of food and clothing.

Eating two meals a day and eating porridge every day, what is the concept? It is a serious shortage of food, and they can only barely make ends meet without being starved to death.

Since Taizu ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty's tax has been the lowest in the entire Chinese history, with a tax of one forty people. When this tax was formulated, Emperor Taizu fully considered the vital interests of the people.

He himself was born among poor people. At that time, his parents and brothers were all starved to death, and he himself became a monk in order not to be starved to death.

Since Zhu Youjian's crossing, in order to reduce the burden on the people, the people in the north have been directly exempted from tax for three years without receiving a cent, and they still can't eat enough. This should be a problem with the Ministry of Household Affairs.

When Zhu Youjian thought of this, he wanted to remove Ni Yuanlu at that time. It was completely dereliction of duty, and he did nothing in a high position.

Just when Zhu Youjian was thinking about getting rid of Ni Yuanlu, the eunuch came in and reported:
