Chapter 553： New Year everywhere

December 30, New Year's Eve.

As one of China's most solemn festivals, no matter what it is, it is difficult to prevent the Chinese people from celebrating the Spring Festival.

The Manchus who have been accustomed to the Spring Festival naturally brought this custom back to Guanwai.

However, they have a hard time this year.

A few days ago, several assassins tried to assassinate Dorgon.

Then, the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty also experienced some turbulence.

A large number of officials and generals were purged, and some people involved in the rebellion were also beheaded.

For a time, blood flowed in Shengjing, and the smell of blood could not dissipate in the windless weather, adding a horrible atmosphere to the city.

Relying on extremely tough methods, Dorgon quelled this wave of rebellion, regained control of power, and held the Qing Dynasty firmly in his hands.

However, his control depends on **** suppression.

The people below are unacceptable, and there are still risks.

However, Dorgon didn't care.

During the New Year, he is also ready to enjoy it. After all, he doesn't know if he can have this kind of enjoyment next year.

Good wine, good meat, good girl, theatrical troupe, Dorgon would also enjoy it.

At the same time, ordinary people in Shengjing are struggling whether to cook more rice during the festival.

Usually, not many people are willing to eat enough, because the food is too small and too expensive to afford.

Basically eat a five-point full, and then slowly boil the rest of the time.

And now, it’s hard to celebrate the Spring Festival, it’s already very miserable without meat. You should always have a full meal.

Some people cook more food cruelly, while others continue to be hungry.

No way, the Qing court exploited too much, and took away almost everything that could be taken away, leaving them with a minimum of survival supplies.

Therefore, even if it is the Spring Festival, they can only spend it spiritually, and materially, it is almost the same as usual.

Some ordinary people who couldn't bear such a life took advantage of the New Year, and the Qing army slackened their defenses, and then quietly fled south to Dahua.

They are willing to accept Dahua's rule, and they are no longer willing to follow Dorgon, who is of the same race as their own.

What about the same clan, the same clan can’t serve as a meal.

Although they belong to the same race, they are more exploited than those of other races. Don't worry about this same race.

Some people who could not survive took advantage of the dark night, the snowy night, and the cold winter to flee to the southwest.

Only a few can escape to Dahua.

Most of the people either starved to death on the road, or froze to death on the road, or were found and killed by the Qing army on the road. Then, it became a subject for later literati creation.

Compared with the Northeast, the people in Kunming are slightly better.

Kunming officials are also exploiting the people, but they are not exploiting that harshly.

Because Dorgon is still vigorously developing weapons and equipment, trying to continue to confront Dahua.

Zhu Youlang of Kunming and other officials have never thought of counterattack Jiangnan.

They will have a day to live and get by.

If you don't expand your armaments frantically, you don't need to be so cruel.

Although ordinary people still have a hard time, they don't need to flee in the snowy night like the people in the northeast.

In the restaurant, several court officials gathered to drink, eat meat, and play with women.

For them, the next step is to wait for Dahua to come over, then surrender to Dahua and continue living like this.

Taking advantage of the incompetence of Emperor Yongli, he tried his best to capture some of the wealth of the people and fill his pockets.

The food on their desks is also quite luxurious. In addition to the usual meats, there are also Nanjing seafood, peppers, coriander, MSG and other condiments.

They can also enjoy the life that Nanjing dignitaries can enjoy.

As long as they pay for it, some businessmen are willing to go over the mountains and sell the good things from Jiangnan to Kunming.

The price is naturally very exaggerated.

The price of a pack of MSG in Kunming is fifty times that of Nanjing.

After several hours of singing and dancing, everyone dispersed.

Those leftover delicacies are abandoned at will.

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

In ordinary people's homes, there was no oily smell, and they barely ate a full meal.

No need to think about Spring Festival couplets, firecrackers, and new clothes. If you don't have enough to eat, you don't have the mood to toss about it.

One more pair of Spring Festival couplets will make you hungry more, and pasting of Spring Festival couplets will not satisfy your hunger.

Ordinary people are still very realistic. A comparison between the two can only abandon the tradition temporarily, and then pick up the tradition when the conditions are available.

Without Spring Festival couplets, firecrackers and the like, this new year will naturally have no sense of the new year.

At this time, they also hoped that Dahua's army could fight over earlier, and then end the rule of Da Ming.

It is said that Dahua's taxes on the people are extremely low. Just thinking about it makes people envious.

Compared with the people of Kunming, the people of Jinan are slightly better.

The turmoil here for several years has been devastated by various forces, coupled with various natural disasters, it was once close to collapse.

Fortunately, at a critical moment, Dahua fought over.

Then, Dahua’s food was brought over for disaster relief.

Tsk tut...

This is the most decent disaster relief the people of Jinan have ever seen. In the previous disaster relief, most of the deliveries were rice bran.

But for Dahua’s disaster relief, white rice turned out to be transported.

Isn't this the exclusive staple food of the noble master? When are the victims eligible to eat?

Some victims of the disaster received the grain and were reluctant to eat it. They chose to exchange coarse noodles and millet with the landlord’s house.

"We people with low fate can't eat such good food, because they have diarrhea."

I don't know which of the people with a big brain has imagined such a theory out of thin air, and then it has won the approval of many victims.

Suddenly, more people used relief food for coarse food.

Of course, this is not a loss for the victims. After all, one stone of rice can be paid for two stones of millet, which can be enough for them to eat longer.

They can even sell a little rice, and then use the money to ask scholars to write a few festive couplets, so that God will bless the next year to have a better life.

You can also buy a few taels of meat, or a few eggs, for a sacrifice.

Life needs a sense of ritual, and only in this way can they feel that they are truly alive.

It's easy to despair if you live through hard times over and over again every day.

Therefore, even if reason tells them that they shouldn't be so extravagant and that they can keep the money from selling meat to buy food for longer, but there are still many people who choose to have a good year.

Of course, when they were eating meat, they would naturally not forget that they all depended on Dahua's relief.

"It's better for Dahua. I have only been a Dahua citizen for a few months, and I have distributed so much relief food. I have paid Daming taxes for more than 20 years before, but I have never eaten Da Ming's relief food."

An old farmer said with tears.
