Chapter 572: Slapping Zhu Di in the face

Your Majesty, do you want to gamble again? Zhu Hu smiled and said, "How many copies of the gambling minister's medical book can be sold?" ”

It's okay not to mention it, Zhu Di couldn't help but think of the queen's face, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and he couldn't wait to eat Zhu Hu.

Zhu Hu said bitterly: "Your Majesty, the ministers also take from Your Majesty, and use it for the people, but there is no waste!" ”

Quibble!

Zhu Di didn't bother to listen at all, he turned his gaze to Liu Chun.

"It's all your fault, what a good person the fifth child turned out to be, he just let you teach him badly, you say, what should I do?"

Liu Chun's face darkened, "Your Majesty, between our monarchs and ministers, we must always make a reason, right?" His Royal Highness King Zhou doesn't blink his eyes when he cuts his stomach now, but the minister doesn't even dare to kill chickens, where do I have the ability to teach him badly? ”

Zhu Di snorted angrily, anyway, these two goods are not good things, and the honest fifth brother is completely gone. Zhu Di pondered for a moment.

"You two go with me to the streets."

"Your Majesty wants a private visit?" Liu Chun said curiously.

Zhu Di smiled: "If you don't go out to see, you can't rest assured." In the first year of Yongle, I want to get off to a good start. Liu Chun also felt that an emperor could not be stuffy in the palace and not know anything.

As long as it's safe and sound, it's okay to go out and have a look.

Liu Chun also changed into civilian clothes, and the three of them were about to leave, when suddenly news came from the medical school, saying that someone seemed to be infected with colic, and asked Zhu Hu to go over immediately.

"Your Majesty atons for your sins, I'm afraid I can't go."

Zhu Di nodded, "Human life is at stake, you can get busy." ”

Zhu Hu confessed and left, leaving Zhu Di and Liu Chun, they went out of Liufu, went around two streets and alleys, and went to the southwest.

In the past, Zhu Di walked around the palace, but this time he walked a little farther and arrived near Taipingli.

Yingtian's pattern is different from that of Beiping.

Beiping is a typical plain city, the imperial palace is placed in the middle, the outside is layered layer by layer, the dignitaries live in the middle, and the common people live in the outer circle.

Yingtian is located in a hilly area, and next to the Yangtze River, so the urban pattern is irregular.

At the beginning, Lao Zhu's brain didn't know what to think, so he had to fill in the lake to build the imperial palace, and as a result, the imperial city and the yamen of various ministries were crowded in the east city. The western half of the city is the settlement area of the common people.

Liu Chun still remembers that Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned it to him back then, and Lao Zhu was quite proud. He arranged it this way, so that it was convenient for the office, and the courtiers would arrive immediately at any time.

Liu Chun didn't dare to say anything, your old man is convenient, and it will be difficult for the courtiers, especially many people with low official positions, who can only live in Xicheng.

Maybe Lao Zhu is deliberately tossing these courtiers, under my Lao Zhu's hands, I still want to sleep well, let's dream!

It is precisely because of the special layout of Yingtian that when he left a piece of Dongcheng and left the Yamen Mansion, the market was much more lively, and at the same time, there was a lot of chaos.

"Liu Chun, do you know why I came out to take a look?"

Liu Chun shook his head, "I don't know." ”

Zhu Di said coldly: "I got the performance of the household department and found a problem, that is, the commercial tax of Yingtian is thirty percent more than last year." ”

Liu Chun said: "Isn't that good? ”

"What a fart!" Zhu Di was so angry that he burst into a foul mouth, "Compared with the thirty years of Hongwu, it is fifty percent less!" ”

This time Liu Chun had nothing to say.

Although after the war, but Ying Tian was not much damaged, after Zhu Di ascended the throne, there were measures, coupled with Liu Chun's theory of national wealth, there was a huge encouragement for the development of industry and commerce, it stands to reason that the commercial tax will only exceed the Hongwu Dynasty, and there should be no big difference.

It's not easy.

"These brutes thought that if they gave me an extra 30%, they would be able to gag me, and they regarded me as Zhu Yunwen's idiot." Zhu Di was so angry that he burst into foul language.

Liu Chun couldn't say anything, indeed, Zhu Yunwen's two-year "leniency" completely destroyed many good rules left by Zhu Yuanzhang. What was especially bad was that a large number of followers were replaced, and they were replaced by a large number of Hanlin Qingliu.

These people are literate, but they don't know how to do things.

In addition, the world style is corrupt, and there is a lack of restraint on scholars, and all of a sudden it has changed from the trembling of the Hongwu Dynasty to unscrupulous, greedy for ink and money, and doing all kinds of evil.

At this moment, Zhu Di made a move, which was aimed at these people.

Liu Chun couldn't help but give Zhu Laosi a thumbs up.

After almost a year of rectification, Zhu Di has sat firmly on the dragon chair, and the various yamen and major ministers are also familiar with the situation and have entered the state.

Coupled with Liu Chun's several books, the entire public opinion building has also been completed.

Now is the time to make a big move.

Zhu Di's first knife will be cut to the officials and the fiscal and taxation system.

Look, who's that bad luck!

Liu Chun thought about it secretly, they walked around for a while, but they really didn't find anything. The two monarchs and ministers found a teahouse casually and sat down to drink tea.

Some people may ask, why do so many things happen in the teahouse?

That's learning.

Because ordinary teahouses also sell some noodles and other noodles, which is almost equivalent to a fast food restaurant, which is cleaner than the street and cheaper than a restaurant.

The five elements and eight works, the three religions and the nine streams, all gather here.

If you want to hear about the scholars, it's best to go to the Qinhuai River, where the idle writers gather. But if you want to know what is happening in the market, it's best to find a teahouse.

After Zhu Di sat down, he directly asked for a pot of Liu'an melon slices.

"That...... Brother Siguang, don't you like Tieguanyin? ”

Zhu Di snorted: "This is for you, I'm at will, no matter what kind of tea, when it comes to me, it's a bitter taste, it's nothing more than a strong and light point." I heard that you are becoming more and more particular now, and you can't even look down on the little dragon group. ”

Liu Chun was speechless, it must have been Zhu Zhanji's kid who said it, with such a little thing staring, he was like a transparent person.

"I can't help it, it's hurting my brain to make up a book recently, but I don't want to hide it, I think I've lost a lot of hair."

Zhu Di gave Liu Chun a roll of his eyes, just pretend to be garlic!

The two monarchs and ministers were drinking tea and looking around, when suddenly there was a sound of messy footsteps from outside, and a big man crashed in.

"Shopkeeper! Where? ”

His voice was extremely high, and many people changed their faces with fright, and some tea customers put their money on the table and ran away from the side door quietly.

Some people simply lowered their heads, for fear of being seen, and a few people smiled on their faces, like dogs, and kept pleading.

The big man glanced at everyone and smiled coldly, "It's all friends, you don't need to see Lao Tzu as if you have seen a cat, and I don't eat people...... At most, you have to spend some money! ”

He glanced at the shopkeeper, then smiled and said, "You say, I want money, right?" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly smiled, "Yes, that's right!" You have worked hard and worked hard, and the little ones want to be filial and afraid that they can't find where the door is! ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper stuffed a ticket into the big man's hand.

The big man grimaced and snorted, "I always only need silver, and I don't like to ask for money." But you can speak, your mouth is sweet, so be it! I'll go first and come back next month. ”

"Wait!" The shopkeeper took out five pies and wrapped them in paper.

"Lamb filling, you are hungry!"

Dahan took it in his hand, and it was still hot.

Immediately smiled, "Okay, this street, it belongs to your kid to come to the matter, so the master said, as long as I am here, your family's business is guaranteed to prosper." See you later! ”

This staggered and walked out of the teahouse.

When he left, the teahouse gradually became lively.

Many tea guests chatted in low voices, and Zhu Di and Liu Chun listened and gradually figured out what was going on...... This big man speaks with a northern accent, he turned out to be the Jingnan Army who followed Zhu Di to the south, and he also made meritorious contributions, and he was currently on an errand in Yingtianfu, responsible for collecting taxes on the street.

The tea guests did not praise him at all, saying that this guy was cruel and greedy, did everything, specialized in extortion, and was notorious after a few months of hard work.

But no one dared to do anything to him.

"Do you know, people followed His Majesty into the capital, I heard that he almost lost his life for His Majesty to block arrows, and His Royal Highness King Zhou saved him!"

"yes? Then this one's face is too big! ”

"Who said no, even Ying Tianfu didn't dare to do anything to others, it made a big fuss, and people could go to Jinluan Palace."

There was an exclamation in the teahouse, and at this time, someone said: "How do you go to the Jinluan Palace?" In the past Hongwu year, there was also Dengwen drum! If we ordinary people beat the drum, we can see the emperor suing the emperor! Still afraid of such a thing? ”

Hearing him say this, someone immediately shook their heads and laughed, "You didn't understand this!" It's not the Hongwu Dynasty now, the one sitting on the dragon chair is just coming from Beiping. People are in a group, let's only swallow our anger. ”

"That's not right! I think Your Majesty is very good, he has become the Son of Heaven, he has done everything very well, he is a good emperor, and he must be sensible. ”

Zhu Di listened beside him, the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously, and finally someone said good things about him, but at this moment, the shopkeeper came over with a teapot to store water for the big guy.

"Anyway, we can't look for death if we are promoted to the small people, this day, let's just live like this!"

This sighed, came over to store water for Zhu Di and Liu Chun, who knew that Zhu Di glared at him fiercely, got up and left, Liu Chun quickly stood up, took out the tea money, and followed.

I thought it was Zhu Di treating, look at this trouble.

"Your Majesty, it's just some ordinary people, it's a teahouse shopkeeper, they don't understand anything, don't be surprised by Your Majesty."

Zhu Di stopped and snorted coldly: "Liu Chun, are you blaming them for me?" You're wrong! I'm a bastard in the weird army! In the eyes of the people, they are all my Zhu Di's people, but they don't make a face for me, and now they are counting the accounts on my head, damn! Shameful! ”

Zhu Di blew his beard and glared, and Liu Chun groaned: "Your Majesty, some people are arrogant and should indeed be severely punished, but who is it that stuffed the soldiers in the army into the yamen to collect taxes, this matter still needs to be clarified." It is best to start from the source in order to convince people. ”

Zhu Di took a deep breath, "It's strange to use these people to collect taxes!" This matter really needs to be investigated, and it needs to be investigated clearly. ”

The two monarchs and ministers were talking, and suddenly a lot of people ran from the front, shouting as they ran.

"Someone's dead! Someone's killed! Someone beat the tax collector to death on the street! ”

Zhu Di and Liu Chun were both taken aback, could it be that the big man died just now? Who killed him? Zhu Di only felt a fever on his face, and in a short period of time, he received two slaps in the front and back, which hurt a lot!
