Daming Wuhou

No matter what Zhu Di thinks in his heart, he still has to show it on the surface, and he is happy to see the harmony and intimacy of his subordinates.Only now did Zhu Di feel that it is really difficult to be the master.

And Zhu Di and Daoyan did have some business to discuss, Lu Changting felt that he couldn't help, after tidying up, he planned to go out to the old house of Lin's family to have a look, only Lu Changting was able to walk to the gate of the palace, and saw that Ji Baoshan hurried over with an anxious expression on his face. When he saw Lu Changting's figure, Ji Baoshan immediately changed from walking to running, and almost crawled to Lu Changting.

It was rare to see Ji Baoshan in such a posture, Lu Changting couldn't help but stop and wait for him to come to him.

Ji Baoshan cried out, out of breath, and said: "Little master... the business of the shop, the shop is even worse today. There were still many customers yesterday, but today there is not even a single person."

Lu Changting raised his finger and pointed to the sky, "It's still early, just wait a little longer. Although the Feng Shui bureau can gather wealth, it is not omnipotent. It won't be that your threshold will be broken immediately after it is laid out. This is just a case after all. It's just an aid."

Ji Baoshan nodded, but he still couldn't help saying with a little panic on his face: "Then...then I'll wait." How can a person who has just tasted the sweetness endure such a sudden gap? It will level off, but it shouldn't be like this, and it will suddenly fall to the bottom.How does this teach one to endure?

Lu Changting sent him back to guard the shop.

When Lu Changting came back from wandering around outside, Dao Yan was still in Yan Wang's mansion.At this time, Ji Baoshan also came to the door again, and he said with an even more anxious face: "Little Master, it's been a whole day, and nothing has changed. In my heart... I am really, really worried!"

Lu Changting pressed his shoulders, "Go back, wait another night, talk about it tomorrow."

"Can……"

Lu Changting frowned slightly, "Businessman, it doesn't matter if you are so irritable, let alone intolerable, even the best Feng Shui bureau can't save you."

Ji Baoshan's face was flushed by these words, he couldn't help nodding, and said in a low voice: "Then I'll go and wait..." After speaking, he reluctantly left.

When Lu Changting returned to the hall, he saw Zhu Di and Dao Yan staring at him.

Lu Changting couldn't help blinking, "What are you doing looking at me?"

Zhu Di said: "Why does Ji Baoshan come here so frequently these days?" Zhu Di was also a little unhappy about this. This person always looks for Changting for everything. He is so old, wouldn't he handle it by himself?

"There's something wrong with his shop."

Dao Yan said from the side: "Changting is too pure and kind." The implication is that he is just like Zhu Di, and disagrees with Lu Changting's effort to help that Ji Baoshan.

Lu Changting shook his head: "The term pure kindness really doesn't suit me." He is not in charity business, and naturally he doesn't help Ji Baoshan for no reason, but each takes what he needs. To improve, naturally a little more effort was put into Ji Baoshan.This is human nature, not how kind he is to the Holy Father.

Zhu Di patted his head: "Go and rest."

Lu Changting suddenly realized that there was something else to talk about, so he turned around and wanted to leave very quickly, who knew that he had just turned around and walked a few steps, when Zhu Di suddenly said again: "Forget it, if you don't feel tired, Come and sit down."

Lu Changting was slightly surprised, was he trying to get involved?But thinking about it carefully, Zhu Di seldom avoids him intentionally, but Lu Changting himself is unusually obedient, and without Zhu Di saying much, he will automatically back away and never touch the place he shouldn't touch.

Lu Changting turned around and smiled: "I'm not tired." After saying that, he quickly walked to Zhu Di and sat down.

Zhu Di felt a lot more comfortable in his heart when he saw him being so close and invisible.

Zhu Di quickly regained his composure, and whispered to Dao Yan what had happened in Beiping recently: "They couldn't resist going to the camp where the royal family's personal soldiers were stationed to look for the king..."

The more Lu Changting listened, the more surprised he became.

Oh yo, Peking is a bit of a big deal!

Zhu Di stayed here for two years before he figured out what the local officials in Beiping had mixed up!Reporting false numbers as headcounts and pretending to lead the army, it is no wonder that when Mongolian soldiers come to the door, there are always times when they cannot resist... Especially when the generals guarding the border in Beiping are all transferred away, it will be a year. Not as good as one year, the arrival of King Yan will bring more support to this group of people.They have tasted the sweetness since the first time they asked for help from King Yan's Mansion.

Can't beat?It's okay, King Yan will clean up the mess!As the heir of the Ming Dynasty, King Yan made a contribution to the Ming Dynasty. Isn't that what he should do?

Over time, the Beiping frontier army naturally relied heavily on this.

At the beginning, Zhu Di didn't think about it, and he really threw his head and blood, but after thinking about it later, Zhu Di has the heart to eat this wave of life.But when he woke up, Zhu Di certainly knew that it was impossible to eat them raw.Although Zhu Di assisted the city defenders many times, but after careful calculation, how many personal soldiers are there in the palace?How many defenders are there?The defenders are still the main force.And this group of people, in the eyes of the people of Peking, is also the one who protects them.Where is Zhu Di that can be easily shaken?

This is one of them.

As for the local officials in Beiping, they also started from multiple places in an attempt to embezzle money.Leaving aside the unspoken rules of officialdom, their main focus is on taxation.The local food chief colluded, and it was very easy to get some out of it.They collect enough taxes, but lie about fewer headcounts, and pay correspondingly fewer.Beiping is far away and the environment is bitter and cold, so Emperor Hongwu naturally did not have high demands.But he lowered the standard and gave preferential treatment, but none of these went to the common people.

This is the second.

Taken together, it means that this place in Beiping is really not very clean.

And who is Zhu Di?He is the son of Emperor Hongwu!No matter how unfavorable he is, no matter how much he dislikes his father, his eyes are still full of Daming. Seeing such chaos, how can Zhu Di not be angry?It’s just that he is not proficient in this way, Zhu Di couldn’t bear it anymore, so he tested the local defenders first, and gave them the illusion that Zhu Di wanted to report their ineffective defense. Naturally, these people jumped and forced them to the camp , both openly and secretly say that Zhu Di has exceeded his authority and managed too leniently.

Of course, they wouldn't talk like that when Zhu Di sent troops to help them.

The local military and government are connected, and it didn't take long for the local officials to know about these things.These people usually see you as a prince, and they flatter you to respect you because you can bring them benefits, but when they find out that you are trying to stop them from taking benefits, I'm sorry, taking money from people is like killing their parents .Even if you are a prince, no one will stand stupidly and be slaughtered.

It is precisely for this reason that these talents have frequently invited Zhu Di recently, hoping to get some information from Zhu Di.If all is well, they are naturally unwilling to conflict with Zhu Di, after all, the opponent is the prince!He is still a prince who kills like hemp on the battlefield! ——Of course, this paragraph is purely self-imagined by these people, and it was accidentally passed into Zhu Di's ears, which made Zhu Di feel both angry and funny.

These people have stayed in Beiping for too long, and they have become bumpkins. Their vision is so short-sighted. Do you think Zhu Di can be at their mercy?Zhu Di intercepted many of the tip-offs between them.

Regarding this, Lu Changting had to lament, as expected Jin Yiwei had flourished in his hands again, and even produced a man from Dongchang.

In fact, these things sounded really boring and boring, with a deep sense of depression.

But Lu Changting still listened for a long time unconsciously.

Zhu Di said coldly: "In less than a year, I have to wipe out all these people!"

Lu Changting was secretly speechless. Zhu Di was deeply influenced by Emperor Hongwu. Both of them had the standard thinking of superiors. Corrupt officials should die, and corruption should be dealt with cleanly.But wages were low in the Ming Dynasty, and officials had to live, so they naturally extended their hands to other places. Once the source was opened, it would be unstoppable.The Ming Dynasty had some money, and even allowed these officials to steal it by default.It's just that Emperor Hongwu didn't know about it.What if he knew?If you want to be greedy for 20 taels of silver, your skin will be peeled off!

It was also the iron and blood methods of Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle that killed all the ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

It is a good thing to use a heavy hammer to deal with corruption, but it is not a cure for the symptoms, so what is the use of killing people?During the Hongwu period, so many people were killed, and those who should be corrupted were still corrupted. Not only that, but Emperor Hongwu would find out that more people were corrupted after that.

Lu Changting remembered that one year, among the new Jinshi, those who were slaughtered, those who were exiled, and those who were relegated... there were none left.

It can be seen that although such means are deterrent, they are not long-term solutions.

But Dao Yan thought further than Lu Changting at this time, he said in a steady voice: "I just hope that King Yan doesn't care about it."

Lu Changting could hear a hint of coldness in his calm voice, and Lu Changting couldn't help looking at Daoyan.

At this moment, Lu Changting realized again, the face of the number one adviser beside Emperor Yongle.

When Zhu Di heard the words, he asked calmly, "Why did Daoyan say that?"

"So what about clearness? So what about turbidity? It's nothing to do with the prince." When Dao Yan said this, Zhu Di couldn't help frowning, obviously he didn't like Dao Yan's words very much.Dao Yan paused, and then said: "My lord has been in Beiping for two years, and I have just seen what the inside of Beiping looks like, but it takes a year to rectify these people, no! If you force it, the end will definitely be bad. The emperor may not I think this is the prince's heart for the country. They are right, if the prince behaves like this, he is exceeding his authority!"

"What's more, if the lord ignores this, the rich businessmen and gentry here will only do more to please the lord. The lord will soon gain a firm foothold in Beiping. Behind the lord, these people are standing!"

Lu Changting understood, he didn't know if Dao Yan had already moved to rebel at this time, but Dao Yan had already considered the financial power behind him.

If Zhu Di wanted to clean up Beiping, he wouldn't be able to get it off after a few years of hard work. After the cleaning was over, who would work for you?The wealthy businessman Fengshen all knelt down.Who will help you?Who will reserve funds and food for you?After that day, you will create a fart rebellion!

But Lu Changting was thinking a little more than Dao Yan at this time.

... Ah, what's the hurry, the rebellion will have to wait for twenty years!

Lu Changting carefully glanced at Zhu Di's expression, it was gloomy and really not very good-looking.

Lu Changting guessed that when he was in Yingtian Mansion, Dao Yan's appearance should not be like this, but after he arrived in Beiping, he began to slowly show his ambition to Zhu Di.

But now it is obvious that Zhu Di is very unhappy and does not want to see Dao Yan's ambition.

Lu Changting had no choice but to say: "Fourth brother, how about... I go and give them a Feng Shui array?"

As soon as Zhu Di turned his head, he saw Lu Changting staring at him eagerly, his eyes were indescribably dark.Zhu Di was still holding back his fire, but now it was half extinguished.

The calm and indifferent expression on Dao Yan's face faded away, and turned into a little smile, saying: "Changting can also try."

It's just that this tone seemed to coax him.

Now that Zhu Di heard Dao Yan's tone, he felt unhappy again.

This matter will not only take a day or two to gossip, Lu Changting yawned and said, "I'm a little hungry." Everyone, let's eat some food and calm down.

Zhu Di turned his cold face back, and asked his servants to set up food, and then the group moved to the hall.

When Lu Changting walked out, Cheng Er smiled at him, laughing so that Lu Changting's body went numb, Cheng Er didn't really expect him to do Feng Shui tricks, did he?

The meal was very peaceful.

It was hard to see any disagreement between Zhu Di and Dao Yan, but Dao Yan stared at him twice more when Zhu Di served Lu Changting's usual food.

Lu Changting shivered unconsciously. In fact, in the eyes of others, it doesn't matter how much he and Zhu Di are obsessed with, but if Dao Yan accidentally thinks wrong, it will be really scary. Lu Changting will be worried, will There won't be a day when I will be killed by Dao Yan in my sleep.Can people like Dao Yan allow him to block Zhu Di's way like this?

Lu Changting looked at Dao Yan, then hurriedly lowered his head and continued to eat his own food.

Zhu Di is not happy now.

If Dao Yan was not at the table, the atmosphere between him and Lu Changting would naturally be harmonious and happy, but now Lu Changting suddenly became extremely docile because of Dao Yan's presence.

What a familiar scene...

In the past, Lu Changting even hated Zhu Xi, but when he was in front of him, he was extremely obedient.

Why did you change the subject now?Zhu Di suddenly felt that something had dug out his heart, and when he looked at Dao Yan again, he didn't want to see what he said.

The culprit, Lu Changting, raised his head and drank a bowl of soup, but he didn't notice anything else.

Ah, today is also a beautiful day!

The author has something to say: Later, Changting discovered that he was not a matchmaker, but a fire extinguisher.
