My home is thirty-two miles away from Dahuaishu.When I was young, the crescent moon was high, I was full of corn dregs porridge, my whole body was warm and my stomach was "dangling", and I used to play hide-and-seek with a group of rascals under the tree.After Zhu Yuanzhang came, my parents and I bid farewell here and embarked on the journey of migration.I remember that day there were huge crowds of people, crying for their fathers and mothers.At the beginning, everyone didn't know that people would be relocated here.As soon as Zhu arrived in our hometown, he quickly declared that he was here purely to visit everyone, and asked officials at all levels not to disturb the people.Then they went door to door and announced that a meeting will be held in Dahuaishu on a certain day of the month, saying that my brother has just come to power, and he has no other intentions, just want to meet with everyone and have a meeting to get to know each other; fresh tofu.Everyone cheered happily, thinking of meeting the new emperor under the big pagoda tree and getting fresh tofu.But before the meeting, someone close to Emperor Zhu leaked the secret, saying that the purpose of the meeting was not to meet and distribute fresh tofu, but to move people.It is necessary to relocate the folks who love the country and the land to Yanjin, thousands of miles away.Everyone was surprised, and people were immediately in chaos, and they collectively refused to hold meetings and meet.At this time, while Zhu was tracking down the person who leaked the secret, he found out that it was a monk with a scarlet head.Immediately, Zhu was furious, and arrested the monk and the old woman, and executed the Fa on the spot; at the same time, he said, half of what the head said was right, moving people is to move people, but it has nothing to do with the meeting.Now it is clearly stipulated that anyone who comes to the meeting will not be moved, and those who will not stay at home will be moved out.Everyone was relieved and came to the meeting enthusiastically.But when everyone arrived at the meeting, they realized that Zhu had changed his mind again.Those who attended the meeting moved away, and those who did not arrive at the meeting were safe and sound at home.The crowd immediately exploded.But when we came to the meeting, we didn't know that Zhu was playing with us, so we were all very happy and excited when we came.Many years later, I still have a grudge against Zhu's approach, thinking that this method of concealment does not conform to the demeanor of a regular politician.Not to mention in the place where our innocent children play hide-and-seek.At this time Zhu smiled indifferently and said:

"Isn't hide-and-seek also playing hide and seek? Adults and children, politics and games are all connected." It made me wake up like a dream, and I clapped my hands with him and smiled. On the day of the meeting, I arrived early.At that time, Zhu Zheng was riding on a branch of a tree with both legs, preparing to give a speech to the people after all the people arrived.Seeing that I arrived early, Zhu smiled at me, then patted the tree and asked: "Do you know what kind of tree this is?" I answer: "Acacia tree." Zhu: "Do you know how many years?"

I: "Look at this stout appearance, it's three or five hundred years old, right?" Zhu hit my bald head with a pipe: "Boy, you're still young. It's been three to five thousand years!" Asked again: "Do you know who planted it?" I shake my head. Zhu smiled proudly: "If you know it, you don't know it. Let me tell you, this is the ancestor of our mountain, Emperor Xuanyuan. He is my second uncle!" I don't know who Xuanyuan is, but judging from Zhu's tone, he must be a big man, and I immediately feel that Shu and Zhu are great.From then on, Zhu needless to say, the great impression of this tree alone has been preserved in my mind.Its stalwart body squirms under the wind; its verdant and endless tree cover is like the big red umbrella of a beef cart in the market.Because of the greatness of the tree, I bid farewell to my parents under this tree, and I also felt that it was extraordinary that I embarked on the journey of migration.Sometimes it's easy to say, and I tell people that Xuanyuan is my second uncle.No one in the world is exempt from getting involved with big people and telling lies casually.For example, some people I respect, I think they are great enough in my mind, but when they see me, they often say other great names, and in a casual tone, they say how long-winded others are, and they insist on asking him out. dine; or skip veneering with which actress.She skipped the veneer and scolded me: ×, I smelled how she smelled.It made me feel even more depressed when I was around them.Great tree, great person, great female star, if you are entangled in my heart all day, I feel that I will become a beetle.Fortunately, one day in the autumn of one year, when I went somewhere in the inland, I encountered something that surprised me, which corrected my petty mentality.According to the local people, in a small valley, an unusual big man once planted a dogtail tree there.After I heard about it, I yearned for it and decided to go and see it.When I went to the ravine, I saw that it was verdant and lush, with red dog's tail fruit hanging on it.I stood at the gate of the dog's tail tree and took a photo with a "snap".At this time, a donkey dung picker came over and said to me, ×, don’t take pictures, this dog’s tail is fake.I was very surprised and almost called him a counter-revolutionary, saying: How can a dog's tail be fake?Didn't he plant a dog's tail?The donkey dung picker said: "It was planted, but the ball died within three days. It was a new one that was secretly replaced."Facing the new dog's tail, I couldn't help "cheating" and laughing wildly for a while, feeling an unknown relief in my heart.The dog's tail is fake, how can the big locust tree know it will be real?Others can talk nonsense, why can't I talk nonsense?Zhu can say that Xuanyuan is his second uncle. I am different from Zhu. I am far away from Xuanyuan, but I am very close to Cao Cheng and Yuan Shao, so I also regard Cao as my uncle and Yuan as my cousin. The text, written at the beginning of the previous section.Since everyone is like this, I didn't take Zhu's words too seriously.But Zhu was still riding on the branch of the big locust tree, and with his right hand he built a eaves in front of his eyes, watching the assembly of people. From morning to noon, a hundred li under the big locust tree had gathered a hundred thousand people.In Lu and Ze prefectures, except for those that are dying and those that are being born, all other animals that can walk and crawl are gathered here.The voices of people were buzzing, and the sun was covered with dust, like a huge and complicated mule and horse market. Zhu rode on a tree branch and hid himself with a kitten. He was really excited to gather so many people.He even felt that by destroying Yuan Jianming and being the master of the country, he had been recognized by the people.Fathead Yu led a group of monks to stand under the tree, and all the soldiers stood around holding spears and pulling scattered lines.Seeing that everyone was getting together, Fathead Fish asked:

"Your Majesty, shall we have a meeting?" Zhu put his fleshy hand from his eyebrows on the branch of the tree and said: "Okay, let's have a meeting." The fat-headed fish shouted loudly: "Quiet, don't talk anymore, let the emperor speak now!" Zhu kicked Fathead Yu with his swinging leg, and cursed: "Damn, look at your mind, it's like you just came out of the temple. How can you talk as soon as you have a meeting? Stop singing? Don't give out tofu? Talk without singing. What's the deal? How did you tell you in the morning? ?” Fathead Fish immediately patted himself on the head, and said with a shameful smile:

"No, I forgot about such a big event. Sing first, sing first, and serve tofu first. It's the first time I've experienced this scene, and I feel a little nervous!" So, a maid close to Zhu (it is said to be a belly dancer from a dance troupe in the Yuan Dynasty, her star photos were hung everywhere in the country at that time, and was later accepted by Zhu Dang's inheritance) walked out from behind the tree, and directed everyone to drink Song.First we sang the newly composed national anthem of Ming Dynasty. It is said that the lyrics were written by the famous poet Li Qingzhao. "I met you several times in my dream, you and I..." and so on.After singing the national anthem, they sang Xintianyou again.After singing Xintianyou, he sang "Go to the West Gate" again.This is related to the theme of the conference.After singing the song, they served tofu again.More than one million people who attended the meeting each gave a piece of fresh hot tofu to their bosoms, and everyone carried the hot tofu with warmth in their hearts.At this time, the emperor rode on a tree and spoke.After the opening remarks, the emperor went on to announce that the topic of today's meeting was originally to meet each other, but the situation has changed just now, please understand.The sky is unpredictable, and news in the world often changes.This is the law of historical development.The topic of the meeting is now changed to relocation. Those who come to the meeting will all relocate to Yanjin, thousands of miles away; those who don't come to the meeting will be dealt with later.When everyone heard this, they immediately exploded.How can the emperor go back on his word?Didn't it mean that the meeting is just to meet and distribute tofu, and those who come to the meeting will not relocate?Why have all the people who came to the meeting now migrated?So they ran around.Squeeze the hot tofu in your arms until it becomes pulpy.But the big locust tree is surrounded by soldiers and monks, where can I escape?Those who fled were shot to death by soldiers and monks.After hundreds of those who fled were strangled to death, everyone became quiet.At this time, the fat-headed fish stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, we have to change what we originally studied." Zhu frowned: "What else do you want to change?" Fat head fish: "These people can't all migrate either." Zhu: "Why, isn't everything fixed?" Fat head fish: "Because the meeting was attended by too many people. The people in Luzhou and Zezhou, except those who were dying and those who were living, were all present. If all the people moved away, there would be no one in Luzhou and Zezhou. Is it? Does the emperor only want Yanjin instead of Luzhou and Zezhou?" Zhu patted his head and smiled:

"I didn't expect that. I didn't expect the folk customs here to be so simple. A kitten hides, and everyone is hooked. In your opinion, according to the current situation, what can we do?" Fat head fish: "Move half, keep half!" Zhu nodded, and then Fathead Fish used the high-pitched electronic horn to let us, who were still in shock, line up and count, shouting "one, two, three", and then shouted for odd numbers to take a step forward, and for even numbers to step back, and the line started. Divided into two parts, one in the east and one in the west.Everyone obediently obeyed and completed the queuing and stacking.At this time, the fat-headed fish asked:

"Which half migrates?" Zhu: "Throw the steel bang as the prime minister did in the past. The experience of history is worth learning from." So, throwing the steel bang into the sky, everyone lost their souls.Everyone was in a coma, thrown out to the east to migrate, and left to stay in the west.Cheering in the west, and fleeing in the east.Many people who fled were killed by soldiers.In order to prevent further escape, Zhu Suo asked the soldiers to take a barrow's shovel and chop a garlic clove on the fifth toe of our right foot as a sign of migration.With this bloody sign, it's useless to run, so everyone stopped running.Among the people on the east and west sides, the wives and children are separated, and the father and son say goodbye to each other. In the midst of running and jumping, they are sad and crying for each other.At this time Zhu spoke again.At this time, he was much more amiable, broke apart and smashed and said: Don't explode the nest as soon as you hear that it is from the east, and don't be overly happy as soon as you hear that it is left behind.Don't look at the problem so superficially. Migration is not necessarily bad, and staying behind does not necessarily mean staying in Fuwo.You used to be a tenant, and Liu is still a tenant?You were a tenant in the past, but you may become a rich man if you migrate.Dear you, let me tell you the situation: from the second uncle Xuanyuan to me, there have been many changes, all kinds of vicissitudes, and the development to the Yuan Dynasty, a good country, so that there is no food to eat, no drink, and the people are in dire straits , Corruption, if you go to the Great Wall, you will die, if you don't go to the Great Wall, you will die.The officials forced the people to rebel and rose up. With everyone's efforts, the Yuan Dynasty was overthrown and the Ming Dynasty was established. Thanks to everyone's praise, I became the emperor and the number one leader.I know in my heart that with my qualifications, experience and level, it is difficult for me to take on this important task; I can't think that my level has improved after becoming the emperor; my level has not improved, and my level is still the same as before, but the position has changed; not representative of the level.If I don't do it, I have failed everyone's trust, so I will do it.Now that you have become a leader, you must work hard and do something for everyone.It is said that I have three fires when I take office as a new official, and I am the three fires when I take office as a new official.In the past, in order to eliminate the foreign scum like Yuan, the people fought with me, causing countless casualties, but now we have to give everyone some benefits.We want to build a Zhujia Jiangshan that will last for generations and remain unchanged for thousands of years.Yanjin in the east, with a radius of hundreds of miles, has been plagued by natural disasters and man-made disasters, and has been plagued by wars for years. Now only thirteen people have died.Now that it has become a civilization, in order to rebuild, we have to relocate and immigrate, and develop there too.Within the four seas, is it the land of the king? We can't just have the two states of Lu and Ze and not Yanjin.We don't want Yanjin, can we give it to the enemy?So be sure to migrate.Migration is of course not a good thing, and there will be a lot of hardships on the way.But for the sake of the overall situation, for the sake of the country and the country, we still have to migrate.Of course, regardless of the hardships on the road, there are benefits when you reach the destination.What do you think, there are only thirteen people left in Yanjin, and when we get there, we are the founding fathers, and we don’t rush to occupy land like the Mongolian princes?After a few years, not everyone has become a rich man?Don't be afraid of separation, don't be afraid of divorce, become a rich man, you can have a father without a father, you can have a mother without a mother, or you can have a mother if you have milk, and you can have a new wife without a wife.Where there is no fragrant grass in the world, you just keep three or five small ones, as long as you can afford it, who else will take care of you?All in all, everyone will have ideological problems, but the benefits are also great.When Zhu said this, everyone's thinking became clear again.Since the emperor said that there are so many benefits, it is also attractive to people.Can the emperor still lie?What's more, this is different from the past. This is to occupy land, unlike in the past, it is not like fighting a war and dying on the battlefield.Going to the battlefield to die, the emperor ordered everyone to go too; why not go to occupy the land for yourself this time?One is a tenant, but another is a rich man. Where can one find such a cheap thing?It's just not cheap, the emperor told us to move, can we not move?After much deliberation, everyone figured it out.But then I felt sad because everyone had to part with each other under the big locust tree.Pig Dan, Uncle Nu, Cao Cheng, Yuan Shao, Blind Deer, the little widow surnamed Shen, Liuzhi, White Ant, and I are all in the east, in the relocated team.Zhudan cried first, and said, it’s nothing if I leave, I used to fight with Prime Minister Cao, Lord Yuan, and Emperor Zhu, and fought with real guns and knives, so what can I do if I live in another place?What about my mother?Zhu said: You can take it with you.When you arrive in Yanjin, you become a rich man, and she is no longer an old lady?Pig: I'm over eighty, how can I bring it?If something goes wrong on the road, who will be responsible?Zhu also felt worried, and finally slapped her hands and said, you go first, and when you become a rich man, you can send a car or hire a helicopter to pick her up.The pig wiped away his tears and said, it had to be like this.He also said: What if you can't become a rich man there?Zhu patted his chest: There are thousands of hectares of fertile land, flocks of cattle and sheep, crops, cattle, sheep, chickens, chickens, ducks, cats, and dogs everywhere. If you stop there, you will have a good life; Not the rich man?The pig patted his face with the butcher's knife and sighed: Don't worry about it.Then I figured it out myself.Anyway, if I stand on the east side, if I don't enter the tiger's den, how can I get a tiger cub?If you don't go to Yanjin, you will be beaten, and if you go, you may become a rich man.Besides, do you want to be a rich man?Think; do you want to continue to live a hard life?In no mood.That's it, then I have to say goodbye to my old lady temporarily; when I become a rich man, I will send a helicopter.The old lady used to have money and things, so that she can really serve her; and only then can my old lady really look like an old lady.Zhu hit the pig's head with a pipe: Well said pig, I agree with your idea.The pig was very excited and determined to go on the road.Of course, when I was really on the road, I still thought of my old lady from time to time, and felt sad, which was also reasonable.Then others also raised many ideological questions.The problem of no one making decisions when the daughter grows up, the stomach ulcer problem of the father, the worry about the adultery of his wife after he left, and so on.Zhu explained patiently one by one.Of course, there are also families that welcome relocation and separation. For example, if the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are at odds, sister-in-law is at odds, sister-in-law is at odds, there is a generation gap between father and son, and brothers are fighting, you can take this opportunity to separate enemies and turn hostility into friendship.Hundreds of thousands of people chattered and discussed in the luoma market. If the thinking is clear, it will be clear, and if it is not clear, the overall situation will be the most important thing.At this time, Zhu jumped up from the branch of the tree, climbed up to the canopy of the branches and leaves of the big pagoda tree, and shouted with a high-pitched loudspeaker:

"The time has come, the night is long and the dream is full, now I declare: let's go!" Then with a big wave of hands, hundreds of thousands of people, including me, Uncle Nu, Zhu Dan, Cao Cheng, Yuan Shao, Xia Lu, the little widow surnamed Shen, Bai Shitou, Bai Ant, etc., began to limp their bleeding garlic feet , embarked on a journey of migration.When I said goodbye to my parents before leaving, I naturally cried again.But after walking dozens of miles, I looked back, and I could no longer see my parents in the dust. Zhu Yuanzhang on the top of the tree canopy was still waving his hand to the east, standing there in one posture, like a plaster statue and a golden statue The kind Tathagata Buddha in the western sky.Many years later, I felt a little dissatisfied, Zhu, with a wave of your hand, you have thrown the fate of hundreds of thousands of us thousands of miles away; but at that time, Zhu was very tall in my mind.On the road, when Cao Cheng and Yuan Shao picked up the blisters on their feet and recalled their history, I almost got into a fight with them once.What's more, I thought, it doesn't make sense to be unconvinced by Zhu's wave now.Who can guess who is better in which place?Who can predict which historical period and which place are more suitable for human survival and development?Besides, without this migration, where would I find my hometown?Without Yanjin as my hometown, where would this novel come from?The world is chaotic and complicated, and who can explain it clearly?
