Chapter 788 Good friends on the green grassland

Men's paradise!

Zheng Kun's laughter caused a stir around him. Most of the immigrants on the boat were bachelors. They came here for the women here. Not only would women pay for men, but they would also pay for a property.

Where can I find such a good thing?

Oh, there is also Chenghua Province, where the government directly betrothed local women to immigrants, and the land is almost the same.

Although Siam is not betrothed by the government, there are many men and women here. In order to find men, women pay for each one! Moreover, Siam is earlier, and this pay for hundreds of years!

Absolutely "Ming Ming good friend."

But sometimes, "good friends" may not be polite, especially the Siamese officials on the dock, who do not regard the Ming Dynasty immigrants as humans. After all, they are all paupers who cannot survive in the Ming Dynasty. Why do they come here just for the Siamese women and land?

What annoyed Siamese officials even more was that it was okay for those women who had no men to pay for it, and even many women with men paid for it. I don’t know how many men came home from service and found that their wives were either big or hooked up with Ming Shang.

As a port official, novice monk Tasong, this is how it is. More than ten years ago, when he returned home from the border, his face was not green, but his head must have turned green. His wife welcomed his triumphant with a big belly. Later, she gave birth to a daughter, which was obviously a descendant of the Ming people.

Later... similar things happened three times. He only had four children, and his appearance was all the same as those of a wise man. Without a careful look, he knew the reason.

It must have been acquainted with Mingshang while he was not here. And it wasn't the same...

Originally, he always pretended to be deaf and dumb, but as the child grew older, his appearance became more and more beautiful. He also looked more and more like a Mingren. Although he always pretended not to know about this, he was really angry in his heart over the years.

These wise men!

He was already a little unhappy, and he could hear the wise men talking about Siamese women, and was so angry that he shouted directly, driving all the immigrants who had just got off the boat to the dock.

Facing the local soldiers who drove them away, the immigrants who were laughing were stunned. What are they going to do?

"What are you going to do...ah..."

Before Zheng Kun could ask, someone slapped him directly in the face, and the slap made his eyes shivering. There were more than one Siam who was wearing a green turban by Ming people. After all, these soldiers were also away all year round, and many people wore a green grassland on their heads...

"Why do you hit people?"

Others also shouted, "You should hit someone but not your face." We are a little poor, but we are always a man who stands tall and upright! It's just a matter of hitting people, but also a slap in the face."

Zheng Kun, who was slapped, pushed down the Siamese soldiers in front of him who were as thin as a chicken, and even kicked them a few times. When the Siamese soldiers around him saw that they were so good, they immediately rushed over with swords and guns, and soon subdued him.

"Why do you hit people? Is there any other way to the king? We are wise people!"

Zheng Kun, who was pressed to kneel on the ground, shouted loudly.

"King Fa! Today I am fighting you Mingren!"

He Song grabbed his collar and slapped his mouth, opened his bows left and right, causing Jin Xing to appear in Zheng Kun's eyes.

In an instant, he was completely confused.

What's going on with this?

I'm sleeping with his wife, or what's going on?

He didn't sleep, but his compatriots slept with their wives a few years ago, and there were more than one wise man sleeping with them.

Five or six mouths fell down one after another, and Zheng Kun's face was flushed. At this time, he realized that his face was being slapped. Although he was in a foreign land, he couldn't stand it. The tree had to be covered with skin and people fought for a breath.

The angry feeling surged in his heart, he instinctively rolled around with a rabbit, and rolled the soldiers beside him over to the side. Then he grabbed the knife on the ground and slashed at the Siamese official who had not yet come to his senses, and directly chopped the Tasong on the side of the ground.

His head was not cut off, but he split half of his neck and shoulders. He lies in a pool of blood and doesn't even have the strength to struggle. He moans with less intake and more exhaustion, and he looks like he can't do it.

"Ah! Mingren killed someone!"

In an instant, there were shouts on the dock, and soon the brigade of Siamese officers and soldiers came over and took Zheng Kun down directly...

Immigration kills people, but it seems like a small thing that is not worth mentioning. Before this, the Ming Dynasty immigrants had not killed people in Siam, or they were killed. After all, whether it was a businessman or stealing people, there were risks. The former had the risk of being robbed of money. The latter had the time to be found, after all, there were many Wu Song in this world.

Anyway, if you are killed and cannot find the murderer, you will be confused. If you are killed and arrested, you will naturally be owing debts and paying your life.

Besides, Zheng Kun still killed a lord novice monk. Even if he was small, he was still a little lord!

This matter is subject to heavy sentence!

Therefore, the local lord did not hesitate and directly sentenced Zheng Kun to death, and it was executed on the same day.

It's no big deal to die an immigrant.

After all, immigration overseas is risky in itself.

But it was slightly different from the past. Among the immigrants on the same boat as Zheng Kun, a fellow villager wrote a letter back to his hometown in anger, writing the causes and consequences of the matter one by one in the letter.

At the beginning, no one noticed this incident, but it was just a matter of adding fuel to the fire. Zheng Kun was so angry that he beat the guy to death like Lu Zhishen.

Basically, it is the Siamese version of "Lu Zhishen's punch to Zhenguanxi", and no one pays attention to it at all.

He is just a poor immigrant.

Moreover, killing someone pays his life, and the one who killed him was an official, this matter... is nothing wrong. At least in the eyes of the simple and kind Ming people, although the Siamese people caused trouble first, in general, killing someone pays his life is also worth it.

Even if it is an official, he thinks that killing someone is worthy of his life.

But now it is the twelve year of Qian Sheng!

At this time, as more and more residents moved overseas, the tenant farmers famine was also intensifying. In the past few years, a large number of people have gone abroad to make a living. At first, they were people without land, and then people with few land. There are still many such people, and they are all young and strong laborers.

Especially after the wife of Chenghua Province was founded, it caused a wave of "immigration". When we went to Southeast Asia, it became the most popular word in Guangdong, Fujian, Hangzhou and other places, but also in Jiangnan, the country known as fish and rice, the same is true. The large number of immigrants from tenant farmers caused losses to many large households. In order to leave tenant farmers to farm for themselves, the large households reduced their land rents and did not reduce their land rents... They patted their butts and went to the sea. Who planted them in this place?

But the problem is that even if the land rent is reduced, it still cannot change the hearts of people!

"It's unpredictable!"

Once again, standing by his own ridge, Xu Qi looked quite solemn. In history, he was not very famous, but his father was very famous. Xu Xiake, a great traveler in the late Ming Dynasty, was his father.

The Xu family is a big family in Jiangyin. Many people in later generations yearn for Xu Xiake's freedom and freedom from traveling all over the country, but then they know that they are a tyrant, or they have tens of millions of fertile land, otherwise they would have no money to travel all over the mountains and rivers.

After Xu Xiake's death, Xu Qi, the eldest son, inherited the family business. Originally, in history, he died in the "Jiangnan slave transformation". After the failure of the "81st" anti-Qing Dynasty in Jiangyin, many wealthy families in the Xu family and other Jiangnan also suffered a catastrophe on the night of the Zhongyuan Festival that year. The slaves of the Xu family took the opportunity to mutiny. They set fire, robbed money, and killed the master. Xu Qi and others died at the hands of the slaves. The family property was occupied by the mutiny slaves, and the Xu family suffered a devastating blow.

However, all this did not happen during the Gansheng period. After all, without the Qing Dynasty's entry into the pass, the prestige of the government was still there, so the slaves naturally did not dare to take advantage of the chaos. Later, the court issued an order not to allow officials and people to use their own people as slaves. Without the slaves, there would naturally be no slave changes.

Until now, the Xu family has always been a top-ranked squire in Jiangyin, but... Xu Qing was upset!

The rent has been reduced again, and the rent has been reduced by 10%.

How much less should you harvest these tens of thousands of acres of fertile land!

I feel so sad!

This world is not easy, and it is not easy to be a boss.

"These individuals are really good, people are cheap, people are cheap, and they are poor, and they are free from their hometowns and make a living overseas. That's how comfortable it is to be local..."

Xu Qing said to himself. His words were full of concern for the villagers, but in fact, what he cared about was not what his fellow villagers would encounter overseas? What he cared about was his own tenants. As long as they did not go overseas, there would be someone renting their own land. He did not need to reduce his rent and his income would not decrease.

Of course, he can't say that we are wise gentry, but we care about the villagers from the bottom of our hearts.

Yes, it's real concern.

"No, brother Ziyi, I have heard that a Cantonese man was beaten by a local official because he looked at a native woman. He was so angry that he killed the man and then beheaded. If he stayed in his hometown, how could he end up in such a land?"

Listening to his friend's sigh, Li Yu also echoed.

"It's a pity that the common people in the world only see the benefits of making a living overseas, but do not see the dangers overseas. It's really stupid!"

Li Yu's tone was also full of concern for ordinary people. It seemed that his concern also came from the heart and from the sincerity.

"That's because the court will seduce..."

If it weren't for the court's deception, how could those honest and honest tenants go overseas?

Suddenly, Xu Qi looked at Li Yu and said.
Chapter completed!
