Zhang honestly died. During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, in a remote mountain village in the north, people basking in the sun on the cross street in the center of the village were talking deadpan. It seems that Zhang's honest death is a distant thing from them.

Zhang Laoshi is a famous honest man in this small mountain village. The year he died was only forty-five or six years old. During the Chongzhen period, people who died at the age of 41 or 51 were everywhere, which was nothing unusual. But Zhang Laoshi starved to death.

Zhang Laoshi is a single biography of five generations in the family. He has lived in this village since his grandfather's grandfather's life. Zhang Laoshi's grandparents, like Zhang Laoshi, are also notoriously honest. Nothing can be done except farming honestly. No matter how hungry and poor you are, you dare not cut down a tree on the mountain in the village to sell or steal a handful of rice from other people's homes. Therefore, Zhang's honest father starved to death in the last famine.

Although there were no great good people in the small broken mountain village during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, there was also a small good hall in the ancestral hall at the head of the village. There are rice, noodles and semi-new clothes in the good hall, for those who are passing by or who can't live in the village to get a little, so as not to starve to death. However, the head of the village has occupied this good hall and ancestral hall. Every year, the imperial court subsidizes the things in the Shantang. When rice is gone, the imperial court will make up a little, and firewood and old clothes will also make up a little. But Bao Chang has occupied all these resources and distributed them to his relatives. In fact, Bao Chang's relatives are not poor at all in the village, not only chickens, ducks and pigs! Life is quite comfortable. But people like Zhang Laoshi don't like to talk very much at ordinary times, and they are very timid when they really want to meet things, and they dare not say anything when they stand up. Even if he said it, no one paid any attention to him, so Zhang's honest life became more and more embarrassing every day.

It's really hard to open the pot at home these days. Zhang Laoshi crustily went to Bao Chang's office to find Bao Chang, who was smoking with his legs crossed. Zhang Laoshi said before he opened his mouth, "Zhang Laoshi, why are you here again?" ! The magistrate will ask me to have a meeting later. I'm very busy, so don't bother me! Every day, you swing around like an oil bottle. Don't you feel in the way? ! Get out of here as far as you can! "

Zhang Laoshi wanted to say something, but Bao Chang gave him a long meal. He drooped his head and went home step by step. Looking at his wife who has been paralyzed in the hospital bed for three years, Zhang Laoshi gritted his teeth and stamped his foot to catch the only old hen in the henhouse to give Bao Chang a gift.

Bao Chang smiled this time: "Oh, Zhang Laoshi, you finally understand. But I can't help it, I can't accept you chicken! Ahem! Because the imperial court is investigating our outstanding cadres, I will become a corrupt official if I accept your chicken. I just broke the law and will be beheaded! "

She also made a gesture on her neck.

"And the poverty index in the village is really gone. Go home. If there is a new poverty index, I will definitely add you. Go home quickly and leave me alone. "

in fact, the economy of the Ming dynasty was quite developed. You can earn a lot of money by trading with Mongolians, Luo Cha people and Jurchen people in the north. You can also earn a lot of money by doing business with countries along the Silk Road in the west and Japanese people at sea. In this environment, many big businessmen in the Ming Dynasty were created. Many of these big businessmen are treacherous and many have consciences. Some of these big businessmen who still have conscience spontaneously set up a poverty alleviation organization. They built charity halls for these very poor people all over the country in the Ming Dynasty and sent rice and noodles to very poor villages. They have also been to Zhang Laoshi's village, but Bao Chang said to these big businessmen, "Oh, leaders, if you come again in the future, just give me the things directly, because I know the situation in the village best." For example, when you come this time, several lazy goods in our village are waiting for you to deliver things at the entrance of the village early. They don't do anything all year round. Every year, they just take home what you have given them, eat it up and drink it up, and then wait for you to come next time. They don't want to do anything, and they never take the initiative to get rid of poverty and get rich! Your, the money is gone! Really, don't worry about it in the future. Just leave these things to me. You think that you have spent a lot of money to raise lazy people. The real poor and those who really need money and things get nothing! " Bao Chang said a face of helplessness and sadness.

Big bosses are so angry that they have spent so much money to support so many lazy people! I thought I had done something good, but I didn't expect all my money to be wasted by those lazy people! So they said to Bao Chang, "So that's it. I'll leave it to you to help the poor in the future. You should lead your whole village to get rich! Leave those lazy people alone. I'll leave all these materials to you. It's up to you. We have a lot of troubles and problems in the Ming Dynasty, and we need thousands of parents in Qian Qian who have the responsibility and conscience! "

Bao Chang looked righteously: "No problem! Give it all to me! Although I am a small supervisor, I also know that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country! You big bosses don't forget your roots when you get rich, and you are still worried about the poor people all over the country. You are really too hard! Don't worry about these little things such as distributing materials in the future, just give them to me! I will handle it and keep it for you! "

the big businessmen think this Bao Chang is really a good man! Under the leadership of such a good grassroots cadre, this mountain village will surely be able to get rid of poverty and become rich as soon as possible.

actually, Bao Chang blacked out all the things such as rice, oil, noodles, clothes, money and so on, and took them all to his home. Who he wants to give food to and who he doesn't want to give food to is a matter of one sentence. He is the emperor in the village! If anyone goes against him, he will use the name of the court to repair him. Just give you the name of chopping trees up the mountain and I'll catch you in prison and put you in jail! Send banishment to Liaodong to fight jurchen!

including the most beautiful Tian Xiaoe in the village, Bao Chang sleeps whenever he wants.

Tian Xiaoe asked Bao Chang to borrow food last time, but Bao Chang said no. Tian Xiaoe slowly untied his clothes at this time. BaoChang also not stupid, although Tian Xiaoe beautiful, he also dare not rashly laid hands on him. At this time, Tian Xiaoe said: "It is our bachelor who asked me to borrow it. There is really no food at home."

Then Zhang Laoshi and his wife starved to death at home.

this situation lasted for many years until a rebel team came to the village. There is a young man in this team under the banner of Li Chuangwang who looks very much like Zhang Laoshi! When he came to this village, he didn't say anything, but ordered his men to arrest and kill all the Baochang family and take away all the property in Baochang's family.
