Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

what?

Zhongyi Temple?

Royal incense?

money!

Many soldiers thought they had heard wrongly and looked up at His Majesty.

What they met was Zhu Youjian's firm eyes!

Instantly, these soldiers' breathing became rapid!

In his eyes, a touch of heat is constantly bursting out!

What is the purpose of being a soldier?

Defend the country?

Fame and title?

These are all correct, but most of the soldiers are actually just for the two taels of silver.

And now, His Majesty is telling them personally!

If you kill a wild boar skin, you will get five taels of silver!

How does this not excite them!

Although it is divided equally, there are only about a hundred people in a hundred households.

As long as twenty Tatars are killed, everyone can get one tael of silver.

And the more you kill, the more you get!

As for death...

Then there is no need to be afraid!

I didn’t hear what Your Majesty said. If I die, will my family still get 50 taels of silver?

50 taels!

For people like them who are farmers, that is a lot of money!

Not to mention you can enter Zhongyi Temple and enjoy royal incense!

I had never dared to think of this kind of treatment before!

Many people have already secretly made a decision in their hearts.

As long as this wild boar skin dares to come, we must make them look good!

That's all reward money!

This order was quickly spread throughout the city defenses through messengers.

Suddenly, there were voices everywhere kneeling down to express gratitude!

It is conceivable that as long as this decision can be truly implemented.

Then Zhu Youjian is the biological father of these Qiu Ba!

Anyone who dares to touch his stupid legs will be killed!

"The expenditure on this alone would be in the millions..."

"Tsk, okay, not bad."

"The boy learns very quickly."

In Zhu Youjian's ears, Taizu's voice came faintly at this time.

Zhu Youjian, who was frightened and trembled slightly, quickly looked around the smoke but did not find Taizu's figure.

"Stop looking. Only you can hear what we say."

"Just say what you want to say silently in your mind, and we can all listen."

Li Chen looked at Zhu Youjian who was hesitant to speak and explained with a smile.

This is also a new feature he has recently figured out.

Can communicate spiritually with someone.

It is practical, at least Zhu Youjian can communicate with him at any time outside.

"Taizu..."

"I can't help it either."

"Just like what you said, the rotten capital camp can only use money to motivate these soldiers."

"Otherwise I would be really worried..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youjian hurriedly recited in his heart.

"Keep your heart in your stomach."

"There is a saying in Boar Skin that eight banners are worth no more than ten thousand, and those who exceed ten thousand are invincible."

"Then let me give you a message."

"You remember!"

"The Ming army is invincible if it is full of noise!"

What kind of garbage is wild boar skin...

Li Chen never looked at it from the beginning.

The demise of the Ming Dynasty had nothing to do with wild boar skin.

It only disappeared because of excessive internal decay.

As long as you give enough rewards to the border soldiers, you will see if these killers will go out and kill Hou Jin with red eyes!

Invincible...

Zhu Youjian nodded slowly after hearing Taizu's words.

indeed!

As long as you have money, anything can be said...

When the kneeling soldiers around him moved away again, Zhu Youjian walked up to the officials not far away.

As soon as he stood firm, Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet, was the first to stand up and bow his hands.

"It is a good thing that Your Majesty shows compassion to the soldiers."

"But the reward is too much..."

"If it cannot be released later, it will affect the reputation of the court."

Many civil servants had objections to Zhu Youjian's behavior of handing out money without saying hello.

It's such a waste to spend so much money on these idiots!

If you give it to them, you will be called the Mingjun Holy Master!

However, Wen Tiren did not dare to directly ask Zhu Youjian to cancel this decision.

Otherwise, the killers on this city wall would have to cut him into eight pieces.

So he could only use the empty treasury as an excuse to remind Zhu Youjian not to go too far!

Re-employing civil servants is the way out!

Don't get too close to these mud-legged people!

"Oh, Wen Aiqing."

"What does it have to do with the state treasury if I use my own wallet to subsidize it?"

"You're being too lenient!"

Hearing this, Zhu Youjian's face instantly darkened.

how?

I use my own money and still need to report to you?

"Your Majesty, the state-owned legal family has family rules."

"I'm afraid it won't be easy to solve the problem if you rashly destroy rewards and punishments and whet their appetites."

"Your Majesty, please give it more consideration."

Seeing Zhu Youjian's unkind expression, Wen Tiren cupped his hands and made another excuse.

He is not stupid, nor will he oppose His Majesty forcefully.

Just tell the questions one by one and let Zhu Youjian figure it out for himself!

After all, this is an objective problem.

You reward them like this, but what if these Qiu Ba don't work hard when they run out of money?

"Of course Wen Aiqing doesn't need to worry about this."

"I, of course, have a way."

"Besides, if the mighty Ming Dynasty can't even give a small reward to the officers and soldiers, it would be better to just open the city gate and let the Tatars below come in to settle the matter."

"I still have 200 million silver in my inner treasury. I will use it all as a reward this time!"

"Of course, in this national crisis, I also hope that my dear friends can generously donate more to raise money for the silver reward."

"Wen Aiqing, what do you think?"

Zhu Youjian narrowed his eyes, curled his lips and suddenly said with a sneer!

You like to open your mouth and fuck your pussy, right?

You see if I can fix it or not, you're done!

what?

Donate?

Or give it to these stinky Qiuba?

Seeing Zhu Youjian's expression that didn't look like he was joking, the faces of the officials below suddenly darkened!

Hello Zhu Youjian!

He actually wanted to take advantage of their family's wallet!

Even Wang Chen was stunned at this time.

But soon he smiled and touched his chin.

Okay, boy.

Learned fast enough!

"His Majesty..."

"minister..."

Wen Tiren's face twitched wildly, he never expected that Zhu Youjian would do something like this.

Immediately my head felt a little down and I didn't know how to escape.

Zhu Youjian chuckled and looked at Zhou Kui, the head of state next to him.

"Don't worry, Wen Aiqing, I'll give you some time to think."

"After all, it's not easy for you to make some money."

"Let's see, my father-in-law, you are my relative, why don't you set an example?"

Ok?

Zhou Kui, who was hiding aside to watch the excitement, did not expect that His Majesty would suddenly burn him.

After being stunned for several seconds, he walked out with a dark face.

He is a famous miser in Kyoto. Even if Zhu Youjian asked him to give money, he would not give it up!

"Damn it, this Zhu Youjian doesn't have martial ethics..."

"Forget it, let's give him some for my daughter's sake."

"Hey, it's not easy to save some money."

Zhou Kui muttered a few words in his heart, and then reluctantly raised his hand.

"His Majesty..."

"My family doesn't have much money."

"But in order to support His Majesty, I am willing to provide five...3000 taels of silver as support!"

When he said this, Zhou Kui's face trembled twice.

Obviously very distressed.

3000 taels!

"Oh..."

"The father-in-law is really generous."

"But how come I heard that the father-in-law's family has a lot of good land and shops."

"By force and plunder, we have 50 taels of silver in cash alone."

"In addition to all kinds of calligraphy and painting antiques, the father-in-law's net worth is probably around one million."

"Could it be that Jin Yiwei deceived me?"

3000 taels...

When Zhu Youjian listened to this number, the last trace of unbearable feeling in his heart finally dissipated!

Taizu was right, they were all vampires lying on Daming’s body!

I originally said that if the father-in-law was sensible and willing to give up most of his wealth, he might be spared for the sake of the queen.

Now it seems that he is overthinking...

To expect such a person to be sensible is worse than to expect a dog to climb a tree...

Zhu Youjian's tone became much colder for a while.

"what?"

Zhou Kui, who was still in pain, stared with shock when he heard Zhu Youjian directly tell him his net worth!

Then boundless fear enveloped him!

Jinyiwei...

Even his family has a royal guard? !

"minister..."

"minister......"

Shivering, Zhou Kui wanted to beg for mercy.

But looking at Zhu Youjian's cold eyes, his words were a bit awkward!

He is just stingy and not stupid!

Obviously, Zhu Youjian is going to have an operation on him today!

"My father-in-law, I have never treated you badly."

"But your actions make me sad!"

"In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"I'm sending you an order, Zhou Kui, the head of state, has robbed the people's farmland and accepted a certain amount of bribes. From now on, he will be deprived of his title and exiled to the border to build city walls!"

"Except for the queen, all three clans will be punished equally!"

"Besides, the Queen is incapable of teaching and has been shutting herself up for half a year!"

Build a city wall? !

Zhou Kui couldn't hold himself steady anymore and quickly knelt down.

At his age, exile is death!

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is merciful!"

"I am willing to hand over all my possessions and ask for mercy from Your Majesty!"

"Please, Your Majesty, please be merciful for the Queen's sake!"

He is the head of the Ming Dynasty!

Have endless glory and wealth!

He couldn't accept this kind of punishment!

"show mercy?"

"I have shown mercy!"

"If you were in the hands of Taizu during the Hongwu period, you would inevitably be skinned and used as grass, Yi clan!"

"As for the Queen... Do you think of the Queen now?"

"Did the queen tell you that you must behave within the rules and do not exceed them?"

"Have you ever heard half of this?"

"If we really want to investigate, for your behavior, I should kill the queen as well!"

"Drag it!"

"Execute immediately!"

It's fine if I don't mention the queen, but I get even more angry when I mention the queen Zhu Youjian!

damn...

The queen is really unlucky to have you as her father!

Upon hearing the word "waste queen", Zhou Kui was immediately frightened and did not dare to say anything more.

If even his daughter is abolished, then he will really be helpless...

Soon, two Jinyi guards lifted Zhou Kui down, who was all limp.

"I'm letting you all see the joke."

"The family is unfortunate."

"Hey, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's continue talking about donations."

"I hope that all of you, dear friends, can give us your full support at this moment. After all, no eggs will be left intact even if the nest is overturned."

Prosecutor Zhu You sighed and wiped his face sadly.

However, he was answered with deathly silence.

Everyone present understood that the money must be given today!

After all, Zhou Kui had a queen's daughter, so she could just be exiled to work when she was greedy for money.

And they...

They don’t have a queen to intercede!

Once Zhu Youjian really starts to look through the account books, what awaits them is the confiscation of their families and the extermination of their families!

"Your Majesty... there is still a lot of money left at home."

"I am willing to donate 10 taels of silver to serve as military expenses!"

"If it's not enough, I will go back and sell off my property!"

The first one to react was the old fox Wen Tiren.

After realizing that something was not right, he immediately cut off his wrist and took out 10 taels!

With him taking the lead, no matter how reluctant the officials were, they could only agree.

Soon, you will get 3 taels and I will get 5 taels.

In less than half an hour, Zhu Youjian collected another 120 million in cash.

If you add Zhou Kui's net worth, you can easily get 200 million taels.

"Well, it seems that the ladies are quite wealthy."

"On behalf of the people of Ming Dynasty, I would like to thank you for your generosity."

"It's getting late, dear friends, please go back and prepare the money first."

120...

Zhu Youjian joked expressionlessly.

These words instantly made countless people below sweat on their foreheads!

They all knew that if Zhu Youjian continued to investigate, they would all die.

Fortunately, Zhu Youjian did not make things impossible.

Take the money and tell them to get lost!

For these officials, Zhu Youjian really doesn't want to look at them for a second now!

I'm afraid that if I can't help myself, I'll kill them all!

Thinking back to when he first came to the throne, he naively thought these people were his auxiliary ministers.

It seems so naive now!

After all the officials dispersed, Zhu Youjian stood alone on the city wall and blew in the wind before he calmed down.

Banxiang asked silently in his heart.

"Taizu, am I too soft-hearted?"

"The father-in-law has a net worth of millions. I should kill him both emotionally and rationally!"

"But I won't do it."

"I'm not afraid of Taizu's jokes. Queen Zhou is my close confidant and has been with me since I was crowned emperor."

"Although the queen won't say anything if Zhou Kui is killed, she will definitely be separated from her in the future."

"I really don't want to lose her."

His original intention was to kill Zhou Kui in front of everyone.

But no matter how hard the words came to his lips, he still couldn't say them out.

At this time, he was also worried about disappointing Taizu.

After all, Taizu has made it very clear.

An emperor must put the country first!

Taizu also killed the corrupt prince-in-law back then, and he didn't let go even if his own daughter threatened him with death.

I'm still not ruthless enough after all...

"Forget it, you are suspicious by nature. If you don't have Queen Zhou anymore, I'm afraid you will really be alone."

"Sometimes being too lonely is not a good thing..."

"Zhou Kui doesn't matter, as long as he gets the money."

Li Chen has been watching Yu Perry silently.

Li Chen didn't have much opinion on Zhu Youjian's decision.

It's okay to kill, and it's okay not to kill.

Anyway, the effect has been achieved.

Although it was better to die than to live, with Zhou Kuina's body and bones, being sent to the frontier for hard labor would probably be more uncomfortable than killing him.

"Yes, Taizu."

Seeing that Taizu did not blame him, Zhu Youjian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really worried that he would let Taizu down again.

Fortunately, Taizu did not blame him too much.

Involuntarily, Zhu Youjian had some doubts again.

It is said that Taizu was decisive in killing, but now it seems that he still has a touch of humanity...

It's not as scary as the records say.

"Okay, take it easy."

"Did you see the smoke in front of you?"

"Boarskin's striker is here!"

Li Chen was too lazy to say anything more about Zhu Youjian's worries.

It doesn't matter whether he kills Zhou Kui or not.

The most important thing now is to prepare for the attack of these boar skins!

Zhu Youjian looked up.

really!

At the end of the horizon.

Countless plumes of smoke and dust rise into the sky!

Thick crowds are approaching from afar!

Post-gold Tatars!

Arrived!
