The middle-aged man nodded quickly.

"It was okay when I first came here. Although the clothes are not good, they won't freeze us. If we eat, we will be [-]% full. After all, we are too full to work!"

Zhu Zhangui asked again.

"Then when did the clothes start to get thinner and the food start to decrease?"

Hearing this question, many people below gritted their teeth.

The man recalled: "It started last year!"

"It was better the year before last. I heard from some old masters that it was because the emperor often paid attention to this place at that time, so we just ate well and dressed warmly."

"But the emperor was not at home last year, so he didn't pay attention to our side often, and our clothes and rations were reduced."

"When winter started this year, the winter clothes that were supposed to be distributed were said to have been confiscated by the army. They were not distributed to us, and we were asked to deal with them with hay and leaves."

The more the man talked, the more aggrieved he felt. Thinking that he was the grandson of the emperor in front of him, and he was so easy to talk, he would turn to them and would not cover up those officials, so the man continued to talk directly.

"In the second half of last year, we could still eat 5% full. But after the beginning of spring this year, they said that the imperial court was short of food and had to feed the soldiers fighting outside, so our rations have dropped to [-]% since then. Arrived In winter, they said that the prairie people in the north invaded again, and directly dropped it to [-]% for us."

When the man said this, a young man who couldn't hold his breath next to him said angrily.

"His Royal Highness, you don't know, but they still mix stones and sand in it, saying it's four floors, and after removing the sand and stones, it's only about [-]%!"

"The imperial court sent people to investigate, but they didn't let us talk about it."

"We can go back in the spring of next year. They said that if we talk nonsense, they will have a way to punish us after we go back!"

"So every time the imperial court sends people to investigate the situation here, we don't dare to speak nonsense, we can only speak according to their instructions."

Zhu Zhangui nodded angrily with a look of sympathy.

Then it turned into a grievance meeting.

Some craftsmen even revealed some inside stories.

For example, in some unimportant places, the original good materials have become slightly inferior.

Some of the original three-component foundations have also been reduced in some materials.

These people don't pay too much, just a little bit.

But add up a little bit from east to west, and this number is quite a lot.

When the inquiry was almost over, Zhu Zhangui waved to the bottom.

A group of brocade guards pressed dozens of people in unlined clothes, with disheveled hair and wounds all over their bodies, to the steps.

Zhu Zhangui looked down at the labor craftsmen.

"Are you talking about these people!"

Seeing that the supervisory officials who used to be aloof have now become prisoners, the workers and craftsmen feel refreshed.

The middle-aged uncle was excited.

"There are some we don't know, but the people I mentioned are indeed among them, and some supervisors are not here, and they are not good birds, and they often bully us!"

Zhu Zhangui stretched out his hand to press down, calming everyone's emotions.

After everyone quieted down, Zhu Zhangui raised the horn and said loudly.

"Don't worry, everyone, none of what you said will escape."

Pointing to the officials of Jin Yiwei who were on the ground, Zhu Zhangui said in a loud voice: "Not only these guys, but also their family members, these guys who lie on our common people to eat meat and drink blood, none of them can escape!"

"My great-grandfather's methods of dealing with corrupt officials must be clear to you, and I can also tell you responsibly that my grandfather will not be lenient when dealing with these corrupt officials either!"

"Dare to bully our honest and simple people, and you are against our entire Ming Dynasty. This kind of scum and scum is a cancer of the Ming Dynasty. If we don't kill them, we won't be able to sleep."

"it is good!"

The workers and craftsmen cheered for a while, accusing those officials of swearing and venting their long-standing grievances and depression.

Chapter 232: Under the heavy reward, there is a brave man.

He waved his hand to ask Jin Yiwei to take these worms away.

These people can't be killed for the time being, and they still need to enjoy Jinyiwei's package service, and then feel comfortable and tell more about the people above or below.

These people dared to reach out to the royal building's public funds. Without the protection of the people above, they would never move their minds.

Zhu Zhangui suspects that there must be one or even several big fish over there!

Xia Yuanji followed them last year and the year before last, and the Ministry of Households was a little less guarded.

In addition, the old man is not here, Zhu Pangpang is busy with overseas affairs, and the supervision may be a bit poor, which makes these guys think that there is an opportunity.

Zhu Zhangui wants to use these dozens of guys to clean up the court severely.

Pull down as many big ones as you can.

The old man's remaining years are not long, and Zhu Zhangui wants to prepare to train his own people to be superior.

As for the old man Zhu Pangpang.

Ok.

Zhu Zhangui felt that with his father's physical condition, it would be good to be able to stay in the position for three years.

Therefore, before assuming the throne, he will replace the positions of various departments of the imperial court with people he likes.

When the moths were escorted away by Jin Yiwei, Zhu Zhangui stood on the high platform with a smile on his face, looking around at the workers and craftsmen around him.

"Okay, someone will deal with these moths that affect your mood, let's talk about our affairs!"

The laborers and craftsmen, who were chatting happily and quietly while watching the moths who oppressed them were taken away by the court, were stunned for a moment when they heard this.

Our business, what else is there?

Is it to increase benefits for us?

Thinking of the new batch of laborers and what the grandson did, many people felt excited.

I heard that the grandsons around are very rich.

Do you think everyone is pitiful, and give everyone a better treatment.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Zhu Zhangui expectantly.

After everyone looked over, Zhu Zhangui raised the horn and said loudly.

"I believe everyone should know that the prairie people in the north have invaded our Daming, and the imperial court is organizing troops to fight against them!"

"This is a life-and-death war. Everyone must have heard about how the Yuan Dynasty harmed us Han people, so we can only win this war but not lose it."

"Once we lose, our land will return to the pastures of the prairie people, our family members will become their slave lambs, and our wives and daughters will be humiliated endlessly again."

"Things that make us ashamed of falling the first child will happen to us again!"

The so-called first child fall is the first child born to the wife who fell to death.

The reason is that during the Yuan Dynasty, some nobles of the Yuan Dynasty set some rules that the Han people hated.

When Han people get married, their newlyweds must be sent to the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty on the night of their bridal chamber, where they will be tortured and humiliated.

Those with better looks would be enjoyed by the people of Yuan Dynasty, and those who were slightly less beautiful would be treated as rewards and tortured by their servants.

In order not to raise these Yuan people bastards, the Han people would throw their first-born children to death.

Although the Yuan people's court later ordered the suspension of this right, many Yuan people in remote places still went their own way and carried out this regulation.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away, but it's not just for the Han family.

Those Yuan people also played very slyly.

Zhu Zhangui's words made some people below clenched their fists.

They have all heard these things from the older generation, and some of the older generation have even experienced this.

Therefore, the Han people of this generation and those who have experienced hardships in the previous generation are full of hatred for the grassland people.

This is also the reason why the imperial court's many northern expeditions were so fierce.

Because these soldiers, like Zhu Di, were full of disgust and anger towards the grassland people.

Zhu Zhangui ordered the massacre of so many prairie people, why didn't it cause waves in the court.

Those officials are not stupid. If this incident breaks out, the people will definitely cheer loudly and support Zhu Zhangui with both hands and feet.

Not only is it useless for them to talk about it, but it will leave a lot of infamy.

Zhu Zhangui stretched out 4 fingers, and said to everyone: "The guys from the north, there are 40 people, including 15 cavalry!"

The anger of the people below was mixed with bewilderment.

They, who have never seen this scene, do not understand what the meaning of this number represents, they only understand that there are many, many enemies.

In fact, don't say that these ancient people, including modern people, gathered 10,000+ people, and they didn't have any concept of impression.

The thoughts in my heart are probably similar to those of people in this era. They are all the same. There should be many, many thoughts.

Zhu Zhangui continued to preach loudly without explaining what it was like to have tens of thousands of people together.

"The imperial court can use about 30 troops, which is obviously at a disadvantage compared with the opponent!"

"Later, fortunately, the enemy fell into our scheme, and the troops were divided into two groups. One went to the Hetao area, and the other went to Nuer Gandusi!"

"As for the enemies on the Hetao side, the imperial court will solve them as soon as possible, but the Nuer Gandusi in the north cannot provide quick support."

"The emperor asked me to lead some soldiers to the north to temporarily block another army of the enemy."

Some people below gradually understood what the grandson wanted to express.

Sure enough, what Zhu Zhangui said next verified their thoughts.

"But I have insufficient troops. The main army of the imperial court only transferred 5000 people to me. According to my estimation, only more than 4 people can be removed from the Nuer Gandusi local guard. In addition, I only have 5 people."

"Do you know how many enemies there are?"

Without waiting for the people below to answer, Zhu Zhangui stretched out three fingers.

"There are more than 30 enemies!"

"And I will take 5 people to fight against the enemy's 30!"

"hiss!"

Many people below couldn't help but gasp.

Although they don't understand how powerful the hundreds of thousands of legions are together, they still know which is more, 30 or [-].

Looking at the shocked and worried expressions of many people below, Zhu Zhangui continued.

"Presumably many of you have already guessed my purpose!"

"That's right. I called you together. I hope that you will temporarily join the army and go north with me to resist the Northern Legion of the Grassland. This will buy time for the main force of the imperial court who wiped out another group of grassland people. Then the two sides will attack and destroy the power of the grassland. The grassland is brought under the rule of the imperial court, so that there will be no more worries about war in the north!"

It was quiet down there.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhu Zhangui thought that these people were afraid.

After all, before this, most of these people were ordinary farmers. Apart from the sickle, kitchen knife and hoe at home, they had never held serious weapons at all, let alone fighting skills.

Now let them go to the north with knives to fight the enemy desperately. I am afraid that these people really can't adapt to it for a while. It is even estimated that many people have already started to shrink back at the thought of fighting with the enemy with knives.

Alas, the country can't be careless, so it can only be smashed with money.

Zhu Zhangui sighed in his heart and decided to release a blockbuster.

"The imperial court has a reward for the head of the enemy. One tael of silver will be rewarded for beheading one person, and one tael of silver will be rewarded for one person captured alive. In addition, there will be land and tax-free rewards!"

The crowd remained indifferent.

I don't know if there is life to make money or life to spend.

The imperial court offered such a high reward, if the enemy was really easy to kill, how could they use them as untouchables.

"But these benefits are for soldiers, but you are different!"

The expressions of the people below were dark for a while.

The great-grandson just said so lively, and said that he was with them and let them make decisions. They thought he was a good person.

As a result, after a few words, the fox's tail was exposed, no different from those bastards who drank blood and ate meat.
