Every time Douhuaer secretly came to see her father, she could always hear her father's violent coughing sound from outside the cold kiln, as if she wanted to cough out her lungs.

At this time, Douhua's heart would hurt. His father worked hard for this family all his life, and he was the only relative in this world. In order to be able to cure his illness, even if he married Wang Zhixin, the dog eunuch, Douhua had no regrets.

Today, Douhua went to the medicine shop to get medicine, which was a prescription specifically used to treat cold diseases. Douhua believed that after taking these medicines, her father would get better soon. Somehow, Douhua's heart suddenly became flustered, but today seemed a little different, because Douhua's time outside the cold kiln, and did not hear her father's cough, which made her feel a sense of vagueness in her heart.

So Douhuaer accelerated his pace, and the cold kiln didn't even have a door. An abandoned cave with soil was in the past. When Douhuaer came in, he felt dizzy. The herbs in his hand also dropped to the ground with a "click".

It turned out that Douhua'er's father was already lying on the broken wooden board.

"Dad!~!" Douhua'er cried heartbrokenly...

This kind of thing is often played out in the capitals under the feet of the emperor. Not to mention, in areas where disasters in the Ming Dynasty frequently occurred. Daming has really broken down, and this crumbling Ming Dynasty system has collapsed. We always like to discuss the reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty. Some say it was the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the Donglin Party, some say it was the natural disasters during the Little Ice Age, some also say it was the fall of the fall of the dead of the Ming Dynasty, some also say it was the fall of the dead of the rituals and the music, and some say it was exhausted.

In short, no matter what the statement is, in Zhu Cixuan's view, the fall of the Ming Dynasty was caused by many reasons. It was not just a single point. At least he knew that what was placed in front of Daming now was not a party struggle or a Jurchen problem. The bandits were rampant, but they were not yet at the point of being unstoppable. The most urgent and urgent thing in the Ming Dynasty at present was lack of money.

First of all, the combat effectiveness of the Iron Cavalry in Guanning, Liaodong is still there, and it is true that the bandits in China are rampant, and officers and soldiers still have the upper hand. As for natural disasters, this is inevitable. Even if you want to provide disaster relief, you have no money.

With money, all these problems can be solved. Even if they cannot be solved all at the moment, they can at least be alleviated. Making money and making money at all costs is the biggest problem facing Zhu Cixuan.

As for how to make money, we can only rely on the Jinyiwei. We will first use Chen Yan, Wei Zaode and Wang Zhixin to start the operation. Zhu Cixuan started his deployment. It is easy to search these three people. Just send Jinyiwei to rush in, catch the person and throw him into the imperial prison.

How did the civil servants make the big deal out of this matter? The civil servants became afraid of the Jinyiwei. They asked them to mention the three words Jinyiwei. They thought of fear, which was what Zhu Cilang wanted to do the most. Therefore, when catching these three people, he had to come up with a way that shocked the government and the people.

Douhua'er was heartbroken and looked at his father's thin body, like a dead branch in the wind and rain. He could no longer find half a tael of meat except the bones. He died extremely miserably, and it was obvious that he had struggled when he was dying. He coughed a lot of blood, and the bed beneath him was covered with straw. The body was covered with the cotton coat that had already been broken and could not tell his true face.

Douhuaer clearly remembered that this cotton coat was sewn for her father by her mother during the Chinese New Year. At that time, their family was poor and happy. Although life was hard, their parents worked hard all year round and worked hard to farm regardless of the weather. By the end of the New Year, their family finally had a new outfit.

Although it is a coarse cotton coat, the family of three feels very content. My father also said that he would work well with his mother next year and try to save some money to buy a scalper in three years. With the plowing ox, they can plant more land.

But who knew that the court began to increase the rent year by year, and the taxes were getting higher and higher. If you could not afford the rent, the official will rush into your home and take away all the valuable things in your home. Your land will be sold and mortgaged, but you still can't pay back the rent. The profit is getting better, and finally forced your family to survive and have to wander.

Their family of three left their homes and started a life of exile. When they heard that the capital was prosperous, they thought of going to the capital to make a living. In fact, it was Douhua's uncle who wrote a letter saying that he had taken a job in the capital. The family went to the capital to seek a job.

As a result, after arriving in the capital, the whole family could not find their uncle at all. It turned out that the uncle was a postman at the post. Like the treacher Li Zicheng, the court sacked the postman and the uncle lost his job. When Douhua'er's family arrived in the capital, her uncle had long disappeared.

But at this time, Douhua'er's mother suffered from a plague again. In an era when she was used to seeing countless corpses on the roadside and the plague was rampant, her mother was sentenced to death if she was infected with the plague. But her father did not give up and begged in the capital with Douhua'er.

Born in troubled times, everyone was in danger of peace, so begging was so difficult. During those days, Douhua'er didn't know how she survived. Seeing that her mother's illness was getting worse, the gates of the capital were not allowed to enter the city to avoid contagion.

Their family lives in this cold kiln. It is already a blessing to find a cold kiln in the suburbs of the city as a place to live. But they can't survive outside the city. I heard that the south gate of the capital can enter and exit. Douhuaer and his father had to mix among refugees. After finally getting into the city, Douhuaer and his father wanted to go to the city to find a way to earn money to get medicine for their mother.

As a result, Douhuaer discovered the human trafficker market on East Street. She advised her father to sell herself and then treat her mother. Her father firmly opposed it with tears, and Douhuaer was also heartbroken.

But there is no way out. If you want to survive, this is the only way out. The father and daughter have not eaten for three days, so they are covered with straw on Douhua'er's head, and they are placed in the trafficker market in the east of the city like livestock.

Here, the price of a human life is even less than that of a livestock. Livestock can eat meat and cultivate fields, while people are the least valuable here.

Many brothels came here to choose girls from poor families, and Douhua'er's father protected his daughter tightly. Even if his daughter starved to death, she could not go to such places.

Fortunately, Douhua'er was too young and did not attract the attention of the madams. Instead, a sarcastic eunuch walked over with a handkerchief and pinched his nose. This person was Wang Zhixin.

Wang Zhixin fell in love with Douhua'er and wanted her to be a maid in the mansion. In this way, Douhua'er was sold to Wang Zhixin for three or seven cents of silver.
