"This year is the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu. It has been ten years since I transmigrated to the Great Ming Dynasty."
Standing on the streets of Jinling and looking at the dilapidated ancient city, Zhu Yu sighed.
Ten years ago, he didn't know how he had somehow transmigrated to this world. When he woke up, he was lying in a ravine, wearing a shroud?
He didn't scare anyone in the middle of the night, but he did scare himself.
Moreover, there was no so-called memory inheritance. He only knew that he had transmigrated from the modern world. There was nothing else.
He had thought that he could rely on his own abilities to show off his skills, but when he came into contact with the Ming society, he was dumbfounded.
During the Hongwu period, the identity system was very strict.
He could not provide any proof of identity to the yamen, so he could only be called a 'vagrant.'
Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen had their own duties, but what about a refugee like him? There was no Fish Scale Yellow Book?
If he wanted to farm, he didn't even have a piece of land.
If they wanted to do business, they wouldn't even accept a shop that made money.
Want to enter the official career? He could not even enter the gates of the major academies.
Zhu Yu was in a dilemma. She sighed in her heart. So this was the real life in ancient times.
Fortunately, he met Lin Cheng, who was also a refugee, to take care of him. In the past three years, he had followed Lin Cheng and Lin Cheng around the world and gained a lot of knowledge.
It was not until the seventh year that the two of them wandered to Datong Prefecture that they encountered the Mongolian cavaliers leading the army south to invade a village in Ming Dynasty.
Lin Cheng had the ability to juggle and was also a real man. Seeing the cavalry slaughtering the Han people, he picked up the long knife on the ground and rushed forward without saying anything.
Although he had killed two Outsiders, he had also lost his life to the cavalry.
Facing the dozens of frontier fortress horsemen, Zhu Yu looked at his companion Lin Cheng's corpse and wiped his tears as he gripped his long saber tightly.
He thought to himself,'F * ck them. I'll kill one to pay for it. I'll kill two to avenge Old Lin. What's there to be afraid of?”
It was also at this time that the earth shook and the reinforcements of the Great Ming arrived.
When the sharp arrow whistled past his ears, he managed to survive.
During these few years of wandering, he had personally witnessed the sufferings of the people.
Looking at the cavalry charging with cold weapons, Lin Cheng fought to the death.
At that time, he finally understood that this was the true ancient times, the cruel ancient times!
What was portrayed in the TV series was really too beautiful.
"He's actually fearless against the Mengyuan cavalry.”
The general in the lead was called Blue Jade. Seeing that he was collecting Lin Cheng's corpse alone in the village, he nodded and said that he was a loyal person.
When he found out that he was a refugee, he left a letter for him, telling him to go to the Jinling County Office to find the county magistrate. When the time came, he could register him as a farmer.
After he returned to Jinling, he stood at the yamen and hesitated.
Farming? What awaited him was the annexation of land.
Those who worked hard for their entire lives did not get anything in the end. Instead, they owed the landlord a huge debt and ended up selling their children.
Therefore, Zhu Yu still chose the business register.
This made the yamen official's jaw drop to the ground. He looked at him as if he was looking at a fool.
A lowly merchant. This person had a letter from General Blue Jade and actually chose to debase himself and choose the merchant's name?
However, Zhu Yu knew very well that even though Emperor Hongwu had set the commercial register as the lowest class, it was not even comparable to the agricultural register and would even be looked down upon by others.
Although a merchant's status was low, there was no need to pay taxes to the court. There were also many benefits. At the very least, they could earn money and live a more comfortable life.
Now that she had the opportunity to truly integrate into the Darming Dynasty, Zhu Yu felt that earning money to improve her life and helping those poor commoners was the way to go.
Another three years passed.
"Our Emperor Hongwu is indeed living a poor life.”Zhu Yu smiled and understood the era of the Great Ming and Hongwu.
After coming to Jinling for so many years, the walls of the city had been damaged and had not been repaired.
This made Zhu Yu sigh in her heart."The only person in history who didn't care about his reputation. As expected of Emperor Hongwu.”
"It's a pity that the early days of the Ming Dynasty were too difficult.”
Looking at the emaciated refugees on the streets, they looked at the passersby with longing.
Zhu Yu had asked around. This year, the Henan government was flooded by the Yellow River, and there was no harvest. The refugees all went south to beg for food and came to Jin Ling City.
After doing some business over the years, he did not lack silver. Zhu Yu, who held onto her original intention, went to the grain store to buy some rice and noodles. She also hired some servants and found a spacious place to build a stove and set up a few big pots to stew at the street entrance.
Seeing the fragrance wafting over, Zhu Yu brought a few servants to gather the refugees.
As soon as he walked past a street, he saw a man with tender skin dressed in linen clothes giving out buns to the refugees.
" It seems that there are many kind-hearted people." Zhu Yu's eyes narrowed as she finished speaking.
This was because he discovered that the man who was giving out buns to the refugees was extremely suspicious of putting on a show. He took a closer look and found that he was actually wearing luxurious silk under his linen clothes.
When he picked up the buns and personally handed them to the refugees, he would subconsciously take a step back and flash his other hand in front of his nose.
Although there was a smile on his face, his eyes were filled with disdain.
Zhu Yu frowned. He understood. This man was probably from some great clan. This posture was clearly just for show.
It had nothing to do with him.
Moreover, even if it was just a show, it could be considered as really helping the victims. It could be considered as doing something practical.
He had wanted to turn around and do his own thing.
But at this moment,
Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out. Zhu Yu suddenly turned her head to look, and her eyes flickered with anger. She could not help but curse,"You motherf * cker!"
