Chapter 888: The Great Business of the Eunuchs
Zhu Di was already furious, and he was angry for the sake of Hongyan, which was something that no one could stop. Fortunately, "Hongyan" was calmer, and Queen Xu grabbed her husband's hand very hard.
"Your Majesty, since this matter has been handed over to the Grand Master, you should discuss it, but if you kill it, it may not be able to solve the problem." Empress Xu's words, Zhu Di didn't dare not listen, he could only nod, he said to Liu Chun: "Go to the room, I have something to ask you." ”
Liu Chun followed Zhu Di to the Jinyi Wei duty room, and before he could sit down, Zhu Di spoke directly, "In the entire Ming Dynasty, how many people are there?" ”
In the past, it was really impossible to answer, but fortunately, after the census, Liu Chun was able to answer this question more accurately.
"Your Majesty, there are no less than eight million people. However, in the fifth year of Hongwu, the first emperor once issued a decree requiring all Semu people to intermarry with the Han family since they lived in the Han land. Now, it has been more than 40 years. There are not many pure color people, and the two sides are mixed, the habits are common, and the differences are shrinking day by day. If His Majesty were to do something against all the people at this moment, he would probably implicate too many innocent people. ”
Zhu Di calmed his face and thought carefully.
"Taishi, I can let the people of color eyes go, but what about brutes like Pu Hong?"
Liu Chun bowed his head, "Your Majesty, Pu Hong is certainly a descendant of the Semu people, but he is also a Semu person, why does His Majesty trust and lose Ha so much?" ”
"This ......" Zhu Di was speechless for a while, and after a while, he slammed the table, shaking the teacup and saying viciously: "You have me, I have you!" Rat-throwing bogey, things in the world, are bad in this piece! ”
Liu Chun thought deeply, "Your Majesty, in fact, the palace maid Bailing who drugged the queen this time is a Han Chinese, and ...... Xu Zhong is also Han! ”
Zhu Di was even more angry and crazy!
"Taishi, what are you going to do with me? Do you see people disturbing my palace? Almost killed the queen, and was indifferent? I am not a stone, not a plant or a tree, and I can't be ruthless and unjust! I'm going to make them pay the price in blood! ”
Of course, Liu Chun understands Zhu Di's thoughts, and he also knows very well that this matter can't just pass!
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that for the people with color eyes, they can be investigated and understood...... One of the most important is to be willing to accept the indoctrination of the imperial court. ”
Zhu Di frowned and motioned for Liu Chun to continue.
"Your Majesty, it has been more than a hundred years since the people of Semu moved into the Central Plains in a big way from the Yuan Dynasty. Mixed with each other, influencing each other, has changed a lot. You can't generalize. The minister thought that if he was willing to receive a scientific education, especially if he was allowed to go to school. They read the same books, wrote the same words, and had the same ideas...... They are the people of the Han family, Your Majesty has the world in mind and covers the four seas, so it is right to have this heart. ”
Zhu Di snorted coldly, "Don't make a sycophant!" I ask you, what if you don't want to? What should you do? ”
"Divide the seal!"
Liu Chun replied even more simply, "Your Majesty, haven't you already made a plan to establish a five-service system overseas, and you will also send Xungui to build a country overseas?" You can't go out empty-handed, can you? These people are the best choice. ”
Zhu Di pondered for a long time, there is no doubt that more than eight million people with color eyes must not be one-size-fits-all, otherwise before it happens, Da Ming will mess up by himself first.
After screening, it is a good way to distribute them overseas in batches to encourage nation-building.
These people went overseas, although they may not have the same heart as Daming, but in order to survive, they can only rely on Daming. For overseas countries, Zhu Di is just asking for submission.
"Jiangnan, the Central Plains, the Semu people in these places have lived for a long time, but only in the northwest of the Nine Sides, there are not only Semu people, but also Mongols, Tatar tribes, and the Warat tribes, and even the rout of Haret...... These have to be distributed overseas, and the farther away the better. ”
Liu Chun's heart moved, but he was not in a hurry, but said: "Your Majesty, the land in Australia is arid and the pastures are extensive, which is very suitable for grazing and business. It can also help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince develop Australia, so that he can complete the agreement with His Majesty as soon as possible and enrich his internal funds. ”
Zhu Di paused and snorted through his nose.
Although he didn't stuff the money into his pocket, the prince was his son after all, and the meat was rotten in the pot, and Zhu Di finally nodded.
They discussed the general direction, but those who were related to Pu Hong, and even the people in the entire palace, were not treated so well.
Zhu Di has always been ruthless.
First of all, in the queen's palace, she dared to hurt the queen, and even killed the bloodline of the heavenly family, which made Zhu Di extremely angry. There were more than 200 people in total, all of whom were imprisoned.
Xu Zhong, Pu Hong's cronies and subordinates, also arrested hundreds of people.
In addition, there is another hard-hit area, that is, the East Factory.
This time, Mu En didn't even dare to fart, he shivered, for fear of catching himself in...... But when he returned to Dongchang, Mu En only had one thought left, it was better to arrest him!
Under Zhu Di, the East Factory is second only to the Yamen of Jinyiwei, no matter in the open or in the dark, there are many personnel and huge institutions.
But this time, Miyun Villa can get the situation of hundreds of officials, and use this to extort money, how can Dongchang escape from it.
In addition to Mu En, a total of four heads were arrested, and as for the fans who were doing things below, they were even more arrested, and they were simply stuffed into prisons.
These people are even more terrified than cutting again.
Usually they rectify others, those torture instruments are hung on the wall, and the heart-rending sound of the prisoners still echoes in their ears...... How others used to deal with them, now others have to do with themselves.
This is called giving back to the other's way.
In just one day, there are no less than ten eunuchs, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and they have explained everything they have done...... Where the sun does not shine, it will inevitably rot and mold, and hide dirt and dirt.
This clean-up also poked out many things in the inner court.
Like building a villa in Miyun and blackmailing hundreds of officials, this is something that only high-end players can do.
There are still many levels that are not enough, so they can only make small fights.
They stole the property in the palace and sold it outside, and I have to say that these people are also renovated and dazzling.
Zhu Di and Liu Chun all cried after reading it.
"Your Majesty, please see, if someone steals the silk sara from the palace, they will wrap these things around their bodies and wear them outside the palace, and it is said that they can wear more than ten layers at most once. Wrap yourself in a ball. ”
Consciousness and letter money Zhu Di introduced.
Zhu Di snorted heavily, "Are those guards blind, so they can't see it?" ”
"Of course you can see that the reason why you wear ten layers is to peel them off!"
Zhu Laosi opened his mouth wide, this is really a veritable "peeling".
"Since they like this, they should skin all those who have stolen more than ten horses of silk, and remember to skin them alive! Let them remember this taste forever! ”
Yisha nodded hurriedly, but stealing some cloth was still a petty theft. The real excitement is yet to come.
"Your Majesty, this is a slave who has found a bucket of pearls."
Zhu Di and Liu Chun both looked at the past in a flash, and the pearls were the size of a dragon's eye, and they were both very round.
You must know that pearls are not too rare, but they are round and flawless, and they are big enough, so they are one in a hundred thousand, one in a million...... And because there is no diving equipment and no artificial breeding, in the South China Sea and other places, some places rich in pearls, there are even special "Tan people".
This shows how difficult it is to supply pearls to the palace.
Since the good beads are all in the palace, the price outside is naturally very expensive, so bringing the pearls outside the palace becomes very profitable.
"Anyone who leaves the palace must be searched. Wouldn't these slaves and maids give pearls when they see people and buy their way out of the palace? ”
Yisha hurriedly shook his head, "Emperor, if that's the case, they won't be able to take it out." And no one dared to do that. ”
"And how do they get the beads out?"
Zhu Di asked curiously.
I saw that the old face of Yishu Ha was red, and he opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but he was ashamed to say it.
Liu Chun looked at him, thought about it slightly, and hesitated: "It won't be eaten in the stomach and taken outside the palace, right?" ”
Yisha nodded hurriedly, "What the Taishi said is extremely true. ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di was shocked, he stood up, walked over, grabbed a handful of pearls, and weighed them in the palm of his hand, but it was not small!
How uncomfortable would it be if you ate it in your stomach?
"How many can they take out at one time?"
"This ...... It depends on the person's ability, some people can eat dozens at a time, and some people can eat hundreds! ”
"So much? After leaving the palace, they all vomited out? ”
Yisha shook his head, it takes time to eat, take it out, and it will take time to get it to a safe place. Therefore, it is too late to induce vomiting.
"Your Majesty, they will, will drink ghee, and then ......"
Yisha couldn't go on, Zhu Di couldn't listen to it anymore, and he was so angry that he threw away all the pearls in his hand!
"Phew! It's just abominable! Someone wants such beads too? ”
Yizha said helplessly: "If you go back to the emperor, such beads will be in the stomach for too long, which will indeed damage the color, and they have a more simple way." ”
"What's the solution?"
Yisha muttered for a long time before he touched his ass under Zhu Di's gaze...... Zhu Laosi's eyes almost fell, and as soon as he raised his foot, he kicked over the wooden barrel in front of him, and the crystal pearls jumped and rolled on the ground...... But Zhu Di didn't have the heart to look at it anymore.
If people outside know that every bead flowing out of the palace has to go through such a process, and they don't know if they are willing to pay for it?
Zhu Di's chest rose and fell in anger, and it took a long time to calm down.
"Is there anything more excessive? Say it all, let me open my eyes! ”
Yisha muttered: "It's not nothing, it's just that it has something to do with the emperor." ”
"Something to do with me?"
"Hmmm! For example, the toilet used by the emperor...... People outside believe this, saying that the emperor's toilet is extravagant, and if you put it at home, you can prolong your life! ”
