Chapter 17 Jinyiwei is doing business!
The corridors in the Imperial Ancestral Temple are all hung with white lights. Except for the soldiers guarding the surroundings, there are no other people around, making it look very empty and desolate.
The atmosphere does not appear gloomy.
Outside the hall where the spiritual tablets are placed, there are two majestic stone dragons, majestically looking down at the visitors, as if to remind them that this is the resting place of the eternal sleeper.
Zhu Yuanzhang stepped into the hall with ease.
Rows of white lanterns were hung in the hall, and spiritual tablets were also placed one after another. He could name each one.
Zhu Yuanzhang just stood in the hall, his eyes scanning these spiritual tablets one by one.
His thoughts seemed to be pulled back to a long time ago, when he was still very young, his family was extremely poor, he had no food to eat, and no clothes to cover his body.
My parents were buried without a straw mat.
The brothers around me starved to death one after another. At that time, I would do anything just for a bite to eat.
Zhu Yuanzhang just thought about it.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Zhu Yuanzhang’s voice sounded faintly in the hall. He was a little relieved, a little happy, and a little confused, but his eyes finally fell on a spiritual tablet at the front.
“Sister.”
“Our boss is becoming more and more promising. He thinks more than we think, sees further, and dares to go against us. I must have learned this from you.”< br>
“We never taught him this.”
"Haha."
"But we are not angry with him."
"It is a good thing that he has his own ideas, but what we are most afraid of is that our own descendants will forget their roots."
“We have endured hardship and fought our way out of troubled times. We know how miserable that world was, and we also know how important that ration is.”
“Don’t we know that we Are we too tight on agricultural production? Do we want to do this? But we have no choice. We know very well what the officials are like. ”
"We are watching every day now. These people dare to cheat and deceive others. If we focus on other things, the tragic situation we had back then will probably happen again."
"We can Do you want to do this?”
“It’s so difficult to live and have a stutter. How many people couldn’t survive in the past.”
“If we didn’t pay attention to farming, what would happen in the world. Corrupt officials can directly squeeze out all the food of the people below."
"We stole the country from the Mongols. Who are the Mongols? They are a group of people who only know how to enjoy themselves. , those who only know how to raise taxes are the ones who drove our parents to death and our brothers to death by raising taxes again and again.”
"Will they care about the life and death of people like us at the bottom?"
"Under the destruction of these Hu Tat, how many fields have been abandoned, how many people have starved to death, no one is farming, no one is reclaiming wasteland, how can there be food in the world? ?”
“It’s true that I was born a poor peasant. Many people in the court said in private that because of my background, I was jealous of Confucian scholars and hated being an official.”
“But I am. You are the emperor, why do you hate them?”
“But we have never paid attention to it, and we don’t care about the face.”
"What kind of face do we want? As long as the people live a good life and have food to eat, we can be shameless, but we are afraid that because of the greed of people, the world will eventually become castles in the air and bones in the graves..."
" So we must lay a good foundation for Biao'er."
"We must ensure that when the world is handed over to Biao'er, no one will starve to death again. Get it done.”
“Farm is the foundation of the country, and the foundation is the foundation of the country.”
“Only if agriculture is done well, Biao’er will have no worries and can do what he wants to do. Only by allowing the people to survive can our country of Ming Dynasty continue to sit down. ”
"Sit tight."
"We attach great importance to agriculture, not for anything else, but to lay a foundation for the Ming Dynasty for generations to come. As long as the foundation of agriculture is not destroyed, our Ming Dynasty will always be able to Standing tall in the world."
"This is what we are really doing!" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head, his old wrinkled cheeks were originally filled with various complex emotions such as bitterness, self-blame, and bitterness. It has become an expression.
Proud!
Zhu Yuanzhang clasped his hands behind his back and walked towards the outside of the Ancestral Temple. As he walked, he said: "We would rather others stay where they are, or even go backwards. We also want all officials in the world to be based on agriculture."
"Since we should Without this emperor, we will never allow that kind of day to happen again.”
“And we have expressed our position long ago.”
“The Ming Dynasty is not only our private property, but also our country’s. Shared by the entire Zhu family”
“This is our Zhu family’s world”
Zhu Yuanzhang's chaotic mood completely calmed down. He was right, but Zhu Biao still didn't understand what he was doing, and he wouldn't explain it.
He believed it.
One day, Zhu Biao will understand.
Out of the Ancestral Temple, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. He remembered Zhu Biao's aggrieved and frightened appearance in the temple, and he couldn't help but sigh.
“Hey.”
"The boss is also thinking about us and for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. Why were we so impatient at that time?"
"And the boss didn't say anything wrong. It was our request to let him express his thoughts. , Why should we get angry with him? Can't we just preach calmly? "
"This brat is really as stubborn as me, but he has his own persistence and stubbornness, which is good. "
Zhu Yuanzhang muttered a few times. He would not really be angry with Zhu Biao, but turned all the blame on Xia Zhibai.
It’s all this guy’s fault!
We were scolded and felt unhappy, so the boss also suffered an unreasonable disaster.
Zhu Yuanzhang had a gloomy look on his face. He looked at Mao Xiang who was waiting not far away, and said with murderous intent: "Now take the Jin Yiwei people to arrest Xia Zhibai, who participated in the imperial examination. Come."
"We only give you one day. Within one day, we will see this person standing in front of us."
"We don't care whether he has escaped or committed suicide in fear of crime. Or something else, we only ask for one thing.”
“You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you die!”
Finished.
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his sleeves and left.
Mao Xiang accepted the order with his hands raised, but he had a big head, Xia Zhibai? Who is this person? An imperial examination candidate? Can this also anger His Majesty?
Although he was puzzled, he did not dare to delay. He had already heard that this person might have really committed a serious crime. At least he had angered His Majesty. He might even have absconded or committed suicide in fear of the crime. .
If he really ran away or committed suicide, it would be very difficult to arrest him. Mao Xiang did not dare to be careless and quickly ordered the whole city to search for Xia Zhibai.
Less than half an hour.
Mao Xiang received the news that Xia Zhibai had been found in a guest house on the bank of the Qinhuai River.
Hearing the news, Mao Xiang was stunned. This was a bit unexpected. This person didn't run away? Then he snorted coldly, "You have committed a crime, and you dare to be so arrogant. You don't take his Jin Yiwei seriously."
Without any delay, Mao Xiang led the large group of troops directly to the guest house where Xia Zhibai stayed.
The banks of the Qinhuai River.
At this moment, he was so frightened that he was jumping up and down.
Because Jinyiwei is dispatched!
