Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 160 A murder occurred

Zhu Yuanzhang was very confident in his disguise.

No one in the entire Jiangning County government had seen him, except for the inspectors who were sent by him to monitor Wang Buli.

Lao Zhu was extremely reassured by the loyalty of these people.

It is impossible for Jiang Huan and others to take the initiative to leak secrets to Wang Buli.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and said to Zhu Biao:

"There are still loopholes in the laws of the Ming Dynasty. You can talk to Qian Tang tomorrow and add a few clauses about the expenses of the corrupt craftsmen Anjia Chao and other clauses, as well as the clauses against envoys from small foreign countries."

"clear."

Today, Zhu Biao has also learned a lot. Those corrupt officials often do not commit corruption alone, but pull everyone on board. Only in this way can the corruption be carried out more smoothly. They cover each other.

"Zhang Shan, the Minister of Rites, is also a fickle person. When this matter comes to an end, I am going to replace him, so I will ask Lu Ben to take over."

Lu Ben was Zhu Biao's other father-in-law and the grandfather of Emperor Jianwen.

After all, Lu's pregnancy can be regarded as opening up branches for Lao Zhu's family. According to Lao Zhu's thinking, it is reasonable to promote her father.

Although the envoy of this small foreign country was acting, he was ultimately promoting the importance he attached to the Celestial Kingdom, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to pursue this matter.

Just pretend that you don't know, because Wang Buli didn't expose the envoy named Fan Cang in public.

Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to tell the envoys from other foreign countries about this matter.

Because he wanted to eliminate the influence of the Yuan Dynasty on small foreign countries, and the Ming Dynasty was the orthodoxy.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty was also facing bad situations in the north and coastal areas.

The remaining Mongolian forces in the Northern Yuan Dynasty echoed the Timurid Empire in an attempt to strangle the new Ming Dynasty in its cradle.

In the third year of Hongwu, Timur killed Hu Xin, supported the puppet ruler, and became the supreme ruler of the river.

He declared himself the successor of the Chagatai Khanate, made his capital Balihei (later moved to Samarkand), and established the Timurid Empire.

Then he continued to attack the surrounding areas, seizing a large amount of territory, occupying the Middle East and Delhi, India, defeating the rising Ottoman Empire, and swallowing up its territory.

After conquering the surrounding empires, Timur sent a large army to conquer the Ming Dynasty in the second year of Yongle, hoping to restore the Yuan Dynasty's rule over the Central Plains. However, Timur died of illness on the road, so the eastern expedition ended in vain.

But at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had to adopt a conservative approach, continue to strike hard at Meng Yuan, and defend against the Japanese pirates. He had no capital to develop a second line of defense.

Especially in maritime wars, Zhu Yuanzhang always kept in mind the old events of Mongolian Yuan's conquest of Japan.

He could accept the death of a large number of his soldiers in battle, but he could not accept the ending of his soldiers being buried in the belly of a fish without even touching the enemy's face.

In addition, Zhang Dingbian, the most powerful general in the late Yuan Dynasty, once led a ship to rush in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's ship. Zhu Yuanzhang's ship ran aground and could not move. Fortunately, Chang Yuchun's arrow was accurate and shot Zhang Dingbian in the eye.

This led to chaos among the Han troops who followed Zhang Dingbian in the charge. Zhang Dingbian endured severe pain and returned with his boat after being hit by hundreds of arrows.

The experience of this incident made Zhu Yuanzhang even more distrustful of warships.

This kind of thing can happen in a lake, but in the sea, the wind and waves alone can cause many soldiers to die or be injured, and there will be no place to escape.

Hot weather is also a good time to go to sea, so envoys from Java, Ryukyu, Annan, Sumatra and other places also arrived.

These envoys had made a joke before, because when the Ming Dynasty was established, these people thought it was the Yuan Dynasty and came to pay tribute as usual. However, they didn't know that the Yuan Dynasty was gone until they arrived in Fujian.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang told these envoys that the barbarians had occupied China for hundreds of years, and that I fought for twenty years before re-governing China, I am afraid that the surrounding kingdoms are far away and there is no news. When you go back, you must report the change of dynasty here, and even send gifts to the envoys. Got a Grand Unification Calendar.

After Wang Buli became the manager of the county government, he no longer needed to check in.

He practiced martial arts with the veterans for a while at home, then took a shower and rode the lame horse Xiao Heizi to inspect the construction site.

As envoys from various countries entered the city, there were many foreigners on the street making signs or speaking simple Chinese, reselling goods.

Most likely, I gained a lot this time, and I can make a lot of money when I go back.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very efficient, especially when dealing with corrupt officials.

Early in the morning, officials from the Ministry of Industry came to work wearing iron shackles made by their former colleagues.

And before starting work, the staff of the Ministry of Industry had already begun to announce the emperor's edict. Those Anjia banknotes and eclipse money that had been embezzled by these people would be reissued according to the roster.

Even if the craftsman dies accidentally, the treasure money will be sent to their home.

As a result, these hard-working people finally let out a sigh of relief, and became more and more happy about Zhu Yuanzhang's decision.

While working today, everyone had a smile on their face.

Wang Buli nodded when he heard the craftsmen talking happily on the construction site.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang planned to issue treasure notes to the people of the capital, he would give these craftsmen treasure notes as compensation, which was actually just a piece of paper.

Without spending a penny, I have gained the gratitude of so many people.

But Wang Buli doesn't care. Zhu Yuanzhang is vigorously promoting Baobao. The price of Baobao has maintained its value in the past few years, but it is not clear to what extent Zhu Yuanzhang will issue Baobao indiscriminately?

"Thank you very much, Prince Consort, for speaking up for us as a group of coolies, so that the Emperor knows our plight!"

Wang Buli waved his hands and praised Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Your Majesty originally had good intentions, but he was corrupted by a bunch of corrupt officials. He thought that all the money was given to you. If you didn't tell me, Your Majesty would have been kept in the dark.

If you have any grievances in the future and it is difficult to deal with it at the local county government, you can go to the Dengwen Drum. I believe that Your Majesty will give you justice. "

"Thank you, Prince Consort, for your advice."

After everyone finished speaking, they happily continued to work.

Wang Buli doesn't mind finding more work for Lao Zhu, since he will implement this system in the future anyway.

In addition, beating the drum was a rule set by Lao Zhu himself, and there was a special person to manage it. Whenever an enemy beat the drum, the emperor would personally accept the case. If the officials dared to stop it, they would be severely punished.

But in the Xuande Dynasty, some officials petitioned to cancel this thing. Zhu Zhanji believed that it was an ancestor's decision and could not be revoked, but it was useless.

In fact, the Dengwen drum of the Ming Dynasty was also covered with grass, and no one dared to use it.

Even if the common people are wronged, when they arrive at the county government office, they have to kneel down first and say that it is the martial arts master who is wronged!

Otherwise, it will be like the Qi Qin family, who won't let you speak if you want to, and will directly characterize you.

Master Chang Wei, is it someone you, a bastard, can frame up casually?

After all, where is the injustice?

Who dares to be wronged!

Wang Buli watched the group of civil servants working happily, and others could not tell whether the smile on his face was bitter.

This is probably an excellent result, right?

Even in modern society, are there no outlaws?

impossible.

The only thing that makes these corvee people feel happy.

That means they have two hours at noon to escape the scorching sun and rest, so corrupt officials can only continue working.

In this way, those who serve as corvees feel as if they have drunk honey water in their hearts.

Are you corrupt officials like you today?

You damn well deserve it.

The emperor is really the great master of Qingtian!

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied when he heard the response from the inspection team sent to the construction site.

"We still have many ways to make a good son-in-law."

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely satisfied with Wang Buli's promotion of his image.

This son has always talked about his old father-in-law, who is neither greedy for merit nor fame, and is a good young man worth cultivating!

The people who had served in the labor service had complained so much before, and they were still trying to get tired of the town, so he had to give up the construction plan of Zhongdu.

After Zhu Yuanzhang made this comparison, he extremely suspected that Li Shanchang did not do this job for him and that supervision was not in place. Someone must be corrupt, which is why so many people died in corvee service.

Zhu Biao was a little numb because he found that his father always disagreed with him.

Some time ago, he defended Wang Buli, but his father always disliked Wang Buli.

As a result, Zhu Biao thought that Wang Buli was too murderous and was not conducive to uniting the surrounding countries, so he wanted to beat him up. As a result, his father began to defend Wang Buli.

"Yes, with such a son-in-law who can solve cases like a god, I think those six ministers will also be trembling with fear."

Zhu Biao replied angrily.

"We just want them to be cautious, otherwise they will be lawless and think about harming the people and not work honestly for us."

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely satisfied with the spread of Wang Buli's reputation.

Looking at the entire capital, no one knows that we are Wang Buli’s backer.

Moreover, there is such a person who is good at solving cases in the court. Although he does not hold a high position, he still has a great intimidating power, making those who are willing to reach out do not dare to reach out.

This is also a means!

Zhu Biao actually didn't like his father's way of coercing the courtiers.

This will cause everyone to think about self-protection instead of focusing on doing things for Ming Dynasty.

"And you, don't always be kind to women." Zhu Yuanzhang began to educate Zhu Biao again: "Our emperor is not merciless in killing people, and his ministers dare to commit corruption one after another.

If you ascend the throne as emperor and have such a weak temper, you will bypass anyone who asks for mercy from you. The people below may not be able to join forces to deceive you! "

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, his eldest son was still too weak and conservative.

Zhu Biao didn't know how to refute his father, so he could only say, "The child knows."

After all, according to the example his father gave, there is really no point to refute.

"Okay, there are quite a few envoys coming in the past two days. Go and contact them to show off our demeanor as a great country."

"Yes."

Zhu Biao decided to summon these envoys.

Wang Buli, who visited several construction sites, returned to the county government office to rest. He stayed in the hall and practiced his martial arts.

Thanks to Wang Buli's operation, funds for the county government's cook control have also increased.

After these government officials and police officers had enough food, some people also joined the "training" team.

Tian Liugen was reporting on the progress of the prison's transformation. The drainage ditches had been dug, and a large number of prisoners were encouraged to work, so the work was done very quickly.

The money applied for by the Ministry of Punishment has also been received. The next step is to paint the walls of the cell and decorate the VIP's single cell to make it look unique and reasonably priced.

Wang Buli waved the Yanling knife and stopped:

"Well, we need to set rules for prisoners. They must wash up every morning and not be unkempt.

We built a new dressing room, and the jailers have to check the hygiene every day. I don't even bother to emphasize that private fights are not allowed.

You have been a prison boss for so many years, and you know the inside story better than I do. "

"I understand, Fourth Master, don't worry."

Tian Liugen hurriedly wrote down Wang Buli's instructions in the book.

This was an honest way for his brothers to make money, how could he not be interested in it?

After the sweat stopped, Wang Buli took a bath and wanted to take a rest.
