Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 544

"This guy is just a rogue, how is he like us?" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately retorted fiercely like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

Empress Ma did not argue with Zhu Yuanzhang and was curious about the study room.

"No one seems to be cleaning here, and I didn't see anything scary on the way in."

"Isn't he the only one who lives alone?"

"How is that possible?" Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head disapprovingly: "After all, he is a ninth-grade official. According to the way that boy in Qiwu takes care of officials, not to mention giving them gold and silver, there is definitely no need to worry about daily food, clothing, housing and transportation."

It can be seen that Lao Zhu is still a little bit resentful about the high welfare benefits Zhu Han gave to Yanjing officials.

Even after calming down, Lao Zhu could understand that all this was necessary.

But if you understand it, you will understand it, and you will still feel unhappy if you are unhappy.

After all, this is just a small government office. Just strolling around and seeing everything.

What surprised Zhu Yuanzhang was that looking at the state of the yamen, it seemed that there were really no servants or yamen.

There wasn't even a single person, let alone any guest room arranged.

Lao Zhu was not polite and asked someone to clean up a guest room and come out.

"Sister, please rest first, let's go see what's going on with those accounts?"

Queen Ma was actually not idle either, she was also tidying up the guest room with those people.

After all, there are some things that men are not as efficient as women at doing.

Returning to the study, Zhu Yuanzhang opened the account and looked at it carefully.

Apparently, Gao Fei had done his own accounting before.

Moreover, under Zhu Yuanzhang's verification of many recorded results, although there were some discrepancies in many accounts, in general there were no major problems.

There is no one here except Gao Fei, so the person who checks the accounts must be Gao Fei.

This guy is obviously a wanderer, since he can still settle accounts.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised.

Taking out another piece of paper, Zhu Yuanzhang began to check the project carefully.

Lao Zhu was the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he could clearly calculate all the accounts concerning the world.

Now this account is easier for him than eating and drinking.

It only took less than half an hour for Zhu Yuanzhang to calculate all the accounts here.

Most of the accounts here are grain subsidies issued by Datong Prefecture.

Beyond that, there wasn’t much gold and silver going back and forth.

Although it seems that the money involved is not large.

But if you take into account the food prices here in Datong Prefecture.

These grains are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.

No wonder we have to calculate everything clearly.

There was no movement after Gao Fei left, and he didn't come back all afternoon.

However, the experts sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to investigate Gao Fei came back.

What is unexpected and reasonable is that this high-flying master is really quite famous in Datong Mansion.

And it's not just a small fame, he really has the name of Swordsman Gao Fei.

This Gao Fei usually does a lot of chivalrous and righteous things.

Such as relieving the poor, or punishing those land bullies who bully the people.

Even though the name Swordsman Gao Fei is used, most people make fun of him when he calls him out.

But in Datong Mansion, anyone who knows Gao Fei will basically give him a thumbs up.

Gao Fei didn't lie. It was indeed his younger brother who visited in person and asked Gao Fei to show his presence to the onlookers.

But there was one thing that Gao Fei didn't say: there were 57 people like him.

These human traffickers and lackeys are all over the place.

There are older and upright masters, butchers who sell meat, and there are also rangers like Gao Fei.

The reason why Zhu Han visited these people was because they were quite famous in the local area.

"This kid really dares to do anything."

Even Lao Zhu would not dare to be so crazy about directly promoting those traffickers and lackeys to become officials.

However, after understanding the cause and effect of the incident, Lao Zhu also knew that his brother had no choice but to do so.

The officials in Datong Mansion have complicated relationships and cover each other.

When first aiding the people, the grain released by the government would always be inexplicably short.

Ten kilograms of grain were taken out to help the people, and I was thankful that only half of it actually reached the hands of the people.

Zhu Han was furious because of this, and even chopped off the heads of more than ten officials because of this.

But even so, it can only be peaceful for a while.

Moreover, in order to investigate these corrupt officials, almost all officials in Datong Mansion must be investigated.

Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, but most importantly, it may also delay disaster relief.

Other things can be delayed, but hungry people cannot afford to be delayed.

Finally, Zhu Han also lost his temper.

Aren’t you bastards capable of being greedy? Aren’t officials protecting each other and entangled in their interests?
I don’t need you Datong Mansion officials anymore.

In addition to those officials who could ensure that there were no problems, Zhu Han directly searched among the people of Datong Prefecture.

Of course, not everyone can do it. At least it has to be like Gao Fei, who usually has some reputation for chivalry.

Of course, this does not mean that such people will serve the people wholeheartedly after gaining power.

But because these people have no official roots, they are much more careful than real officials when doing things.

And even if people with integrity lose their way because of power, they will always fall slower than those officials, right?
And it turns out that people in this era are still relatively simple.

Those who have a better reputation themselves have a righteous mind.

Coupled with Zhu Han's personal visit, it was impossible to move these people.

After taking office, almost everyone is working hard to have sex.

This allowed Zhu Han's disaster relief policy to be carried out smoothly.

If he counted on the officials here in Datong Prefecture, Zhu Han might still have to work hard to investigate the corruption of certain officials.

Of course, it is not impossible for these ordinary people to fall into depravity.

After all, some people just don't have that opportunity, not because of their personality.

The fortunate thing among misfortunes is that such people are only a minority after all.

Among those who were personally visited by Zhu Han and promoted to court officials from ordinary people.

There are only two people at present. Because they couldn't control their hands, they were finally solved by Zhu Han himself.

Compared with those corrupt officials, these people are obviously more reliable.

"This kid." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and cursed: "There are really enough ghosts."

After solving his doubts about Gao Fei, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his attention to the governance of Datong Mansion.

Set up a refugee camp and use work as a stimulus so that refugees can support themselves with their own hands.

And when food was scarce, Zhu Han personally went to the refugee camp to eat porridge mixed with sand.These things are widely circulated, and the experts who protect Zhu Yuanzhang don't even need to investigate. They can ask just a few people.

But it's not all good news here.

When he learned that Zhu Han's two disciples were worshiped as gods by many people in Datong, Zhu Yuanzhang also frowned slightly.

"It's really stupid."

Although he was very unhappy, Lao Zhu also knew that some things could not be forbidden.

Although there was some dissatisfaction, in the end I had to let it go.

After listening to the reports of these people, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and looked at the sky.

The sun was already about to set.

Gollum!
Lao Zhu's stomach made a sound of protest.

But the high-flying master still had no intention of showing up.

"What is that kid Gao Fei doing now?" Zhu Yuanzhang said a little unhappy.

After all, we are still working for you, Mr. Gao. We can let go of wages and other things for now, but we can’t not even give us food, right?

"Return to...sir. We had people check it out just now, but Mr. Gao is still at the checkpoint and has not come down."

"Just half an hour ago, hundreds more refugees arrived. Mr. Gao is handling the affairs of these refugees."

"According to our inquiries, Mr. Gao will not come back until two or three days later."

"Sometimes there are so many refugees that they will even sleep directly near the checkpoint."

Lao Zhu was completely speechless now. There were certainly not many officials in Yingtian Mansion who could devote themselves so wholeheartedly to their Lao Zhu family.

"Okay, in that case, let's just eat whatever we want."

It's different from Goofy who was so tired at the checkpoint that he couldn't even take a sip of water.

When Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the guest room, Queen Ma had already packed out a table of side dishes.

Although due to the drought in Datong Prefecture, the food on the table is not particularly rich.

But at this time, just having something to eat is already an incredible enjoyment.

Lao Zhu just took a few bites and felt like he had no appetite anymore.

After all, Gao Fei hasn't eaten yet.

After hesitating for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang simply asked Queen Ma to pack some food.

Go to the checkpoint in person and deliver food to Gao Fei and the others.

Of course, another purpose of Lao Zhu is to see how their reception department handles those refugees?
When Lao Zhu was about to reach the checkpoint, he heard Gao Fei shouting at the top of his lungs.

"The most important thing in our Datong Mansion is to be obedient..."

The same familiar words as before, with almost no changes to the words.

It can be seen that these words were not what Gao Fei thought.

It's probably something that my younger brother came up with, and they are just copying the gourd.

"Master Gao, please rest for a while. I brought some food for you brothers to eat."

The eyes of those working around the level suddenly lit up.

Similar to Gao Fei's situation, they almost didn't finish the whole day.

Mainly because I'm too busy.

Now, almost all the disaster-stricken people in Datong Prefecture are gathering towards Fucheng.

After all, His Royal Highness the King of England has personally promised that as long as he comes to Fucheng, he will have a mouthful of food and will never let anyone starve to death.

They are now taking in the refugees almost six or seven hours a day without taking up any space.

Although there are two shifts, the only one that is easy is the night shift.

After all, there are relatively few people rushing around at night, so it doesn’t have to be so busy most of the time.

But if you are assigned to the day shift, you can only grit your teeth and persevere.

If no one delivers food, they might be able to carry on.

But when he smelled it, the aroma of food emanated from the food box in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand.

Several people's stomachs couldn't help but growl.

Even Goofy is no exception.

"What do you think I'm going to do?" Gao Fei said angrily, "These people haven't eaten yet. If I let you eat, you can keep eating."

At the same time, he glared dissatisfied at Zhu Yuanzhang who came to cause trouble.

Lao Zhu smiled slightly: "Of course the victims are important, but adults should also eat something after a busy day."

"There's no need to stop, just take turns eating."

Gao Fei glared at Zhu Yuanzhang again, pretending to be impatient and reprimanded: "You are just an accountant. From now on, you can just settle the accounts of my teacher every day. Don't keep coming to make trouble for us."

"You have all heard what Lao Chang said. If there are fewer people over there, hurry up and eat. Eat quickly."

Gao Fei's men cheered, and soon someone ran over to eat.

Knowing that these people must not have eaten anything, Queen Ma specially prepared a relatively large portion of Chu Ou Chui Pancakes.

What these people eat most during this period is rice porridge, just like the refugees.

The sweet and delicious food was in my stomach, and I was so excited that I almost cried.

In order not to irritate the refugees, Zhu Yuanzhang also specially found a relatively deserted place.

These people devoured a palm-sized shortbread in two bites.

If Queen Ma hadn't prepared so many portions, Dean Zhu would have doubted whether there would be anything to eat when it was the last person's turn.

Gao Fei waited until everyone had finished eating before coming over to eat.

Seeing that those people were busy, Gao Fei quickly gave Zhu Yuanzhang a smile: "Old Chang, don't take what I said just now to heart. I still have to maintain a bit of official authority in front of those people."

"No matter what you say, I'm so grateful that you remembered to bring me food."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of cooking cake and bit off half of it in one bite.

Immediately Gao Fei's eyes lit up: "It's delicious! I have never eaten such delicious cooking cakes in my life. It must be the craftsmanship of my sister-in-law."

"Old Chang, you old boy, you are so blessed!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "You are the only one who still has an official account? Hurry up and eat your food."

Although they have only known each other for a short time, Zhu Yuanzhang already fully understands Gao Fei's temper and character.

It can be said that such a person is not material to be an official at all.

No matter who he is with, he is almost like a brother when he gets along with him.

If Lao Zhu hadn't just met Gao Fei now.

When he had just started his army, this guy would definitely be a good brother who could conquer the world with him.

In just a few mouthfuls, he ate his share of food.

Finally, he wiped his mouth and said: "Old Chang, I can't thank you enough for your kindness, but I'd better not do this kind of thing again in the future."

He turned around and looked in the direction of the checkpoint: "Those people are still hungry. It's not good for us to eat and drink here."

When he first heard Gao Fei's words, Lao Zhu was a little unhappy. I heard that this kid was up to no good!

But after hearing Gao Fei's reasons, Lao Zhu was deeply shocked by him.
