But this idea that everyone is equal is nothing but a Buddhist illusion.
What's more, in the temple, the treatment of wealthy families and ordinary people is completely different.
Li Hanlin thought this way, and suddenly, his vision went dark and a heavy brick hit the back of his head.
He fell down on the spot.
There was only one thought in my mind: It's over, I was finally targeted.
You should take a sedan chair.
Then he thought that in this majestic Ming Dynasty, in this majestic capital, there were people sneaking attacks on important ministers in broad daylight. It was simply ridiculous!
Of course he doesn't know, what is the next dynasty?
In the middle and later stages, even inside the palace, outsiders and ordinary people invaded.
Not long after, Li Hanlin was dizzy and was lifted up by several people, hooded, gagged, tied with a rope, and then put into a sedan.
After twists and turns, he was finally sent to a remote courtyard.
"Is anyone awake?"
"Should wake up."
He heard several people with Jiangnan accents.
"Who are you?" He wanted to shout out, but couldn't.
"Let him talk."
"Yes, sir."
Soon Li Hanlin felt that the cloth in his mouth was taken away, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who are you? What do you want to do? I am an important official of the imperial court."
"The people arrested are important officials of the imperial court. Let me ask you, what do those people wearing, no, what do those southerners usually say?" A young man's voice sounded.
"You don't want me to betray the imperial secrets!"
"Very well, I just like strong bones. Please don't let me say that I still like your unruly look." The young man said calmly.
Then Li Hanlin received a beating.
"Stop fighting, I said, I said."
Once upon a time, he and his colleagues would often laugh at each other when he saw the officials in the previous dynasty who could not live up to the rules.
"If a person lives his whole life without a reputation, he is like a tree and grass. Why should he never die?"
Only now did he realize that many people thought it was the same thing, but it really hurt when hit.
The festival of death is not something that passes as soon as you close your eyes.
"I wish I had said no? So you people have no logic and no self-knowledge."
"We'll talk about it after we've been beaten. Isn't this beating in vain?" the young man laughed.
"Those southerners told us that only industrialization could save the Ming Dynasty. They also told us that the key to industrialization is equality for everyone." Li Hanlin said weakly.
"Hmph, everyone is equal, a bunch of hypocritical guys." The young man said disdainfully.
Hearing this, Li Hanlin suddenly felt the same.
Yes, can that Zhao Tiezhu really achieve equality?
He eats well every day, lives well, and rests when he is tired; but can those who work have the same treatment?
impossible.
"What this gentleman said is true. Those southerners are all cunning and hypocritical. They just use this rhetoric to deceive the people. They just want to use this kind of rhetoric to attack our country, the Ming Dynasty." Li Hanlin continued.
"Okay, but what he said makes sense. Without equality, there is no industrialization." The young man's name is Wang Shan.
He is also a time traveler.
But he is a time-traveler with a hang-up.
Yes, he came with a system, and this system is called "I counterattacked and became emperor in the Ming Dynasty".
Just by looking at the name of this system, you can understand why he knew that there was another group of time-travelers, but did not go with them.
Nonsense, we are all modern people. If you are the emperor, you can do whatever you want. What will happen if one day you take a liking to my family property?
Obviously, the biggest resistance and fiercest opponents to him becoming emperor were not even Emperor Jiajing, but these fellow time-travelers!
Now, Wang Shan's first task is to "own his own territory, or become a county magistrate."
The novice gift package is to have your own five clan companions, all of whom are loyal, plus a starting capital of 2,000 taels of silver, and an official status.
Since ancient times, there have been three ways to become emperor.
Starting from within, controlling the center, and usurping the throne of the emperor, the Cao, Wei, Jin, Sui, and Song dynasties are the most typical examples.
Start from the outside and conquer the world by yourself. Liu Bang and Li Shimin are the most typical examples.
The combination of internal and external affairs was like this for most of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Become a warlord first, and when the time is right, break the earth and become king, wearing a yellow robe.
The path Wang Shan chose was to combine internal and external aspects.
The advantage of this route, in his opinion, is that it is safer and allows one to advance and retreat easily.
Li Hanlin naturally didn't know Wang Shan's background. He just vaguely felt that Wang Shan was familiar with southerners.
Then he pleaded: "Sir, you and I have no grudges in the past. Just pretend that what happened today didn't happen. It's better to leave it alone and go home. I still have an old mother and young son at home."
"Oh, I have a mother and a young son, that's great. Just sign this document. You don't want anything to happen to your mother and young son, right?" the young man said calmly.
As he said this, someone handed him a piece of paper.
Li Hanlin was still blindfolded and did not know what was written on it, but he also knew that this thing should not be signed randomly.
Isn't this the same thing as in the Yamen, where you get beaten up and beaten?
He is so familiar!
"No, no, I won't sign. I'm just a small imperial official, not worth mentioning. You, sir, have a lot of people, so just let me go." Li Hanlin cried.
"Shame on you, a dignified Jinshi, with just such character? Let me tell you, if you sign today, you have to sign, even if you don't sign, you have to sign! Put your fingerprints on him!" the young man said fiercely.
Soon, Li Hanlin was fingerprinted on three notices in a row.
Then his hood was lifted.
Of course, he saw nothing but a notice left on the spot.
It reads:
"Jiajing Jiajing, every house is clean..."
Good guy, I directly copied the most sparse content in the world.
If this notice is posted, his home will be clean first.
Thinking of this, Li Hanlin quickly tore up the notice and looked around.
There was no one in the house.
This is an abandoned courtyard.
Although houses in the capital are expensive, there are some houses that no one dares to buy and no one dares to live in.
Only some beggars would gather in such a place.
He quickly walked out of the courtyard and looked around, but didn't see anyone there.
Who caught him?
They have nothing to do except get information about the Southerners.
But since I asked myself to sign the proclamation, I'm afraid there will be other things that come to me in the future.
Damn it.
He thought sadly, then stopped a four-wheel carriage on the street and took him back home.
This is also a change brought about by southerners.
This carriage is convenient and shows status. It is also safe and stable. It is very comfortable to sleep in. It is very suitable for some stewards who live far away to hire.
Many administrators have been hired on a monthly basis.
It takes half an hour or even an hour to go up each time, so you can sleep and work in it.
…
In a house.
Wang Shan looked at the proclamation in his hand.
"Brother, what should we do next?"
"Are you still going to take the imperial examination?"
"Take the Jinshi exam and get a P!"
Wang Shan didn't want to waste a lot of time taking the imperial examination.
The price/performance ratio is too low.
At least it takes more than three years to prepare.
"Run for me now to find a manager or a civilian position in the army."
He understood very well that if he wanted to be the emperor, he must master the force.
He wouldn't have been able to do it before.
But now that we have a system and a task system to pave the way for ourselves, it’s easy.
It's just that he has to pay attention to the news about the southerners at all times, which is why he tied up Li Hanlin.
Then he quickly obtained the rank of eight-rank military scribe by sending him six hundred taels of silver.
He is the small manager responsible for handling military achievements, logistics, and accounting.
Generally speaking, people start from the ninth grade.
The best way is to start with teachings and follow the path of Hai Rui.
Of course Wang Shan wanted to rebel, so he would not follow Hai Rui's path.
Then he started to continue doing tasks through the system.
…
Wen Rensheng glanced around and saw that there were really many people traveling through the Ming Dynasty.
As far as he could see with his naked eyes, those who ran alone were one group, and those who traveled collectively were another group.
Those with hangings can be a different style.
The last group is also a solo gang, not with other time-travelers.
Obviously, I feel like I am the biggest.
It's just that these guys still don't see enough.
I don’t know if there is something wrong with hanging this thing.
Of course, we can't blame them. After all, how can ordinary people experience a life of trouble?
Then Wen Rensheng saw another interesting guy.
This guy is also a time traveler, and a time traveler with a strap.
His name is Zhang Ming and he has a double door.
That means you can travel back and forth.
This guy is also a shrewd person.
He saw that this Ming world was not simple.
So he was very cautious.
He knew through various channels that there were similar time-travelers in the Ming Dynasty.
He felt very strange, why other people's time-traveling was not so chaotic, but when it was his turn, there were so many time-travelers?
Can they wear it back like themselves?
So he observed carefully.
After observing for a while, he found that no one noticed him.
So he started thinking of ways to make money.
After all, if you don’t make money with a double-crossing door, isn’t it in vain?
He immediately read the novel about Ming Chuan.
The common method he saw was to obtain antiques from the Ming Dynasty.
Soon he took a few pieces of porcelain and returned to modern times.
He then ran to other cities, put on a mask and makeup, and then began to pretend to be other people's identities.
He came to a remote antique shop.
"Boss, Zhang Zhangyan, this is an ancestral inheritance in my family."
The boss looked up and was overjoyed.
Then it was like nothing happened.
He said: "Brother, this is not an antique. It must have been faked just last week, right?"
"However, your forgery is quite clever. Except for the incorrect materials, everything else is correct. It's just that you forgot to make it old."
Zhang Ming suddenly felt very depressed when he heard this.
He said to the boss: "Forget it, I won't sell it."
"No, I'll give you 10,000. If you come back next time, come back to me."
"Ten thousand is fine."
So he sold it to the other party by selling handicrafts.
After all, he didn't sell it to the other party in the name of selling antiques.
He thought again, how to make money?
Then he found another time-travel novel.
I found a time traveler and started selling gold and silver.
In the Ming Dynasty, silver was the general equivalent.
In modern times, silver is a simple industrial raw material.
The ratio of gold to silver in the Ming Dynasty is 1:10.
The modern ratio is almost 1:100. In fact, one gram of silver is worth 7 pieces, and one gram of gold is worth 7 pieces.
So you just need to buy silver from the real world, then go to Daming to buy gold, then come back, sell the gold and buy silver.
This reselling process is very simple.
The only problem is that when the number is large, it becomes troublesome.
The trouble is not in modern times, but in the Ming Dynasty.
Shops that can exchange gold have a background.
If a stranger, a foreigner, exchanges silver for ten taels of gold, he will attract attention, and then he will be tempted by a gangster, and then there is no need to say anything else.
On the contrary, in modern times, if you exchange gold for money, no one will care about you.
After all, you can say it is gold passed down from your ancestors.
As long as the quantity does not exceed 10kg.
Modern silver is very cheap.
Zhang Ming learned about this from a certain novel.
So, he resold very carefully.
In the end, I only made a mere 500,000, so I quickly stopped.
This is just the price of 1 kilogram of gold.
Then he started buying all the equipment for himself.
Only on this day, he was fully armed, still wearing a scholar's uniform on the outside and a steel plate body armor on the inside, and then came to Daming County again.
This time, he decided to play a big one.
Find someone to buy your identity from.
He felt that 50 taels of silver should be enough.
Of course, according to the novel, he should first buy a few reliable and honest servants.
This way, you won't be alone and get into trouble easily.
The trouble with this pair of costumes is that they don’t have a real identity when they go to another world.
If there are a lot of people, there is no need to worry.
You can create a safe small group among yourself.
However, he had just arrived at an alley in the county town, and suddenly his vision was still dark.
"It's broken, I'm kidnapped!" He never thought that he was so careful, but still got tricked.
He was actually beaten with a sap.
It's over.
Traveling through time is indeed risky.
Not long.
When Zhang Ming woke up, he saw a young man in front of him.
As soon as he looked at the other person, he knew that the other person was also a time traveler.
Because the spirit and energy of the child were not possessed by the ancients.
The temperament of the ancients was mostly at a loss.
Either it is domineering or arrogant, or it is the self-confidence brought by ignorance.
Unlike time travellers, after arriving here, there is a sense of superiority revealed in the bones.
"I really didn't expect that I would be so careless."
"I knew there were other time-travelers, but I still got caught." He sighed.
He was obviously very careful.
The only thing to blame is the double door, which is fixed rather than following him.
If it could be carried around, it wouldn't be like this.
"Zhang Ming, no need to talk nonsense, I know you are a time traveler, and you also know that I am a time traveler."
"I also saw your double doors."
The person who captured him was none other than Wang Shan.
A standard camp where Wang Shan is located is now stationed near here.
It was the system that reminded him that there was a big opportunity nearby.
He thought it was some treasure or an opportunity for promotion.
It turned out to be a time traveler, or a time traveler with double portals.
Wang Shan was naturally very happy.
Because this means he has a place with unlimited supplies.
Originally, he wanted to kill Zhang Ming.
But then I thought about it, he was not the only one who traveled through time.
And if you kill this Zhang Ming, there will be others in the future.
Because this has been proven.
It's better to cooperate. Of course, he is the only one who can be the emperor.
In the end, just let the other party be a eunuch with a pen.
"What do you want to do?" Zhang Ming asked worriedly.
"The two of us can cooperate with each other. After success, the whole world will be ours."
"I want the east and give you the west." Wang Shan said confidently.
