Domineering Daming

As soon as the fire was lit, Li Rujing woke up, tidied up silently, and sat by the fire, cooking porridge and warming thick pancakes with Wang Qiongyu.

After an unknown period of time, maybe breakfast was ready, Wang Qiongyu looked up at Li Rujing and said, "You want to change your name?"

Li Rujing was stirring the porridge, and said indifferently: "Well, I'm going to be crowned, I need words."

Most of the girls at this time don't need a name, they just need a nickname or baby name, let alone words.

Wang Qiongyu's expression was as usual, her hungry face was as calm as before, and she said, "Have you thought of a name?"

Li Rujing shook his head and said, "My parents and elders were all killed by the rioters, and no one can make decisions for me."

Wang Qiongyu looked at him, and said quietly for a while: "You want to avenge your parents, you want to enlist in the army, Anbang Dingguo, Anbang doesn't sound good, Dingguo is fine."

Li Rujing looked up at her, then remained silent for a while, and said: "The day before yesterday, a fortune teller said that my life is precious and my blessings are poor, and he gave me the letter of Dashou. I will ask the escort later."

Wang Qiongyu nodded lightly, then turned to look at the carriage where Zhu Xu was.

Li Rujing hates this kind of son-in-law the most. When the country is in trouble, he still idles around all day long, playing tricks everywhere, which makes him feel bored just by looking at him.

"Don't worry about him, let's eat, and let him eat on the way." Li Rujing frowned and said.

Without joy or sorrow, Wang Qiongyu picked up the sweet potato cake beside her.

Zhu Xu woke up early, and Cao Bianjiao was reporting in a low voice by the window.

"Judging from the information from Jin Yiwei, many bandits suddenly appeared on this road. They all took over the mountains as kings, robbed the caravans, rarely harassed the villages, and there were merchant ships at the junction of Shandong. There are signs of a red-haired man."

Cao Bianjiao said in a low voice while observing the surroundings.

Zhu Xu's expression remained the same. Although the coast has been raided by the navy and bandits have been suppressed on the road, it must be a daydream to expect a peaceful and prosperous world at this time, but he did not expect that the tentacles of the Dutch have been stretched so far. Far.

"Have you found out the origin of the bandits?" Zhu Xu asked.

It is impossible for ordinary people to come into contact with the Dutch. There must be some people connected with them, and their identities may not be simple.

Cao Bianjiao said: "Not yet, they came out of nowhere, they specialize in robbing porcelain, silk, tea and the like, and they never kill people."

Zhu Xu squeezed his chin, then smiled and said: "Interesting, it seems that they are following our convoy. By the way, have you found out what this convoy is transporting?"

Cao Bianjiao looked puzzled, and said, "Treasurer Tao was recommended by Mr. Fu, and he is absolutely reliable. This trip is mostly rice, unless they escorted other things. However, they are closely guarded, and Jin Yiwei can't get close to check. explore."

Zhu Xu laughed, and said: "It's okay, don't worry about them, this team is not easy, let's wait and see, don't reveal your identity if it is unnecessary."

"Yes." Cao Bianjiao responded, and left the carriage calmly.

Chapter 589 Difficulties and dangers

Zhu Xu got out of the carriage and sat down next to Li Rujing, picking up the cakes and soup bowls as usual.

Li Rujing frowned and looked at Zhu Xu, then moved his butt.

Wang Qiongyu didn't speak, she held a bowl and drank the soup quietly.

Not long after, Li Escort came over, glanced at Zhu Xu, then glanced at Cao Bianjiao who was standing not far away, and said indifferently: "Let's leave in a while, there will be a station in the next place, and there are officers and soldiers nearby. So this road will be dangerous, you all be careful."

"En." Wang Qiongyu nodded while holding the bowl.

Li Rujing looked up at Li Escort, said with a serious expression, "Yes."

Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged, he looked at the front of the convoy, and secretly said with great interest, "I'm afraid this trip is really a good bet, the road ahead will not be smooth..."

Captain Li didn't pay much attention to Zhu Xu, although shopkeeper Tao repeatedly told him that this noble young master should be fine, but in his opinion, this kind of noble young master is best at saving his life, and he doesn't need to do anything more.

At the same time, the capital in the early morning seemed to be preparing for something. It was eerily quiet, and they were all paying attention to the palace in unison.

The first thing that appeared was the announcement of the "Political Reform" by the Supervisor of Rituals posted on the gate of the palace, followed by the cabinet's promulgation of the new Ming Law, Jingzheng Chaobao and six newspapers were all released.

"What, the first assistant is hanging in the air? Two second assistants?"

"There are no restrictions on foreign relatives? If the minister is strong and the master is weak, isn't the emperor afraid of foreign relatives usurping power?"

"The changes in the Six Departments are so big, especially the Criminal Department. I feel terrified when I look at it. How did the governors and the governor agree..."

"The Ministry of Households needs to re-register the household registration and measure the acres of fields. This is a big deal..."

"The government is not in charge of adjudicating cases, and the Dali Temple is in charge of it? Then what else should the government do..."

"The Governor's Council...has more authority than the previous Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it also has the power to supervise localities..."

"This reform is terrible. The imperial court's control over the local area is probably unprecedented..."

"Tax reform, the imperial court will tax the gentry?"

"The governors and governors of the eighteen provinces have all signed. Is the imperial court determined to implement the 'New Deal'..."

With the spread of newspapers in the capital, I don’t know how many books are read. People who can read have one or even a few copies. They keep studying and exploring the contents, and they utter shocking words from time to time.

"I object!"

Suddenly, a white-haired old man threw the newspaper on the ground and shouted angrily: "I have internal and external troubles in the Ming Dynasty. The court doesn't want to solve them, but wants to rob the gentry's wealth. I have no virtue and no ability!"

"That's right!"

A young man jumped up and said loudly: "Re-registration of household registration, measurement of land, doesn't the imperial court know that this will affect the world and cause instability in the world?"

"The prison department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, and the imperial court are treating the local yamen as something. Do they want to replace it?"

"Why should the chief assistant be suspended, or should the cabinet be abandoned?"

"The eunuchs rise again, the court is fatuous!"

"Shuntian Prefecture is already promoting 'taxation', starting with this year's summer grain!"

"I don't agree. This 'New Deal' is clearly nonsense. Since ancient times, there has been no innovation that is truly for the country and the people. It will die halfway and waste the people's money!"

"That's right. Let's go to the six ministries, go to the cabinet, and go to the palace to petition. We must let the people of the world understand that the 'New Deal' is not feasible and must be abolished as soon as possible!"

"go!"

"go!"

A group of people, regardless of age, hurried out from various places and rushed towards the palace.

In the "Shendu" Academy, Liu Zongzhou was looking at a few newspapers that suddenly appeared today, with a serious expression on his face.

A student in front of him, who was a student, said solemnly: "Teacher, the imperial court's reforms are too big, and I'm afraid it will shake the foundation of the country."

At this time, the word "country base" appears frequently. Once it appears, it means that the matter is serious. Countless people follow and oppose it, and then stick to the rules and cannot act rashly.
