The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 221 Yao Guangxiao in Korea
His Royal Highness King Yu.

This is Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement.

The matter of Xiaoling, from the perspective of later generations, is actually to create a character.

Add mystery to Zhu Ying's identity.

When people discovered that a person who had been dead for ten years suddenly came back to life, such a miraculous thing, especially if he was the eldest grandson of Huang Ming.

The heat in this is simply inestimable.

Because of the speed of information dissemination in ancient times, the people of Ming Dynasty, to a certain extent, were more fond of gossip than people in later generations.

Especially this kind of mysterious royal story, it is not enough to talk about it.

Once Zhu Ying's identity is announced in the court, especially with the preheating of the Xiaoling incident.

There is no doubt that Zhu Ying will be crowned the title of the Son of Destiny.

This is a man whom God favors.

At this time, Zhu Ying didn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang had already issued an order to tell Qin Tianjian to start compiling the story of Zhu Ying's "resurrection".

The main person in charge of compiling this story is Liu Rixin.

At this moment, Qin Tianjian is inside.

Liu Rixin has passed on the unique official uniform of Qin Tianjian, and now Liu Rixin can be said to be unparalleled.

The former Qintian Supervisor took the initiative to ask Zhu Yuanzhang to resign.

"Master Jianzheng, regarding the detailed past of His Royal Highness King Yu, a set of detailed explanations have been issued here, and I have to return it to Lord Jianzheng."

Qin Tianjian officials reported to Liu Rixin.

Liu Rixin nodded, took the booklet and began to read it.

The front was fine, but soon Liu Rixin began to frown.

"Why did you use Yawen?"

"This"

"It is not allowed to use elegant Chinese. It must be written in vernacular, separated directly by sentence breaks, so that even the illiterate people can understand it."

Liu Rixin taught.

He is different from the officials of the Qin Tianjian, and he has been wandering around all these years, so he has a deeper understanding of the meaning of His Majesty's decree.

This is to create momentum for His Royal Highness King Yu, not just targeting literati.

The people are the largest group.

"Immediately report that all must be changed. The more popular the better, it is best to add some dialect versions to make it easier to spread."

After Liu Rixin thought for a while, he said again.

The local dialect can make this story more immersive and intimate.

"Follow the order."

The officials of Qin Tianjian bowed and left.

Liu Rixin was left alone in the room.

After a long time, Liu Rixin looked at the sky and sighed.

The changing clouds in the sky made his heart flustered, and everything seemed to start to become blurred.

"How's the situation in the county these two days?"

After Zhu Ying finished reviewing a memorial, she asked Ye Yueqing.

He thought he could finish reading the memorial in two days.

Unexpectedly, the old man sent him another batch of new ones through the post station.

In desperation, Zhu Ying had no choice but to accept.

"My boss, the people in the county town seem not to be very active about the plague. Most of them don't take it seriously, even the people in the surrounding villages and towns."

"It's as if there is no such thing. Only Yuan Zhixian and others who came here two days ago are implementing the rules of the owner."

Ye Yueqing replied.

Zhu Ying's expression was calm upon hearing this.

Those who have not experienced the beatings of the plague basically have this tune.

Whether it's taking a bath, wearing a mask, boiling water, etc., in the eyes of most people, this will only delay their time.

It's really hard to use when the emperor arrives, even if someone checks, it's just a matter of dealing with it.

"Forget it, let's take it as a rehearsal, how is the situation in the plagued area?" Zhu Ying asked.

Ye Yueqing said with a sigh: "The people in the plagued area regard the orders issued by the boss as words of wisdom, and those limes are like treasures to them."

"Every household boils water almost every day, the clothes are boiled tirelessly, and lime is sprinkled all over the house."

"Even those who walk on the street wear a veil."

Zhu Ying was not surprised when she heard this.

Living in a plague area, seeing familiar people falling down every day, that kind of gradually spreading terror, any hope is a life-saving straw for them.

"Is there enough lime?"

Zhu Ying asked.

"In the past few days, about [-] shi of lime have been transported there. There are too many cities, and many of them have not been distributed yet."

"However, the news about lime being able to drive away the plague has spread, and all the cities affected by the plague have begun to make lime by themselves."

"I don't think it will take long. Basically, it will be enough. It's just that there is a shortage of rat poison at present, and it will be used up as much as it is shipped over."

"Especially now, the price of rat poison has started to rise."

Ye Yueqing said.The demand for rat poison is so great that some merchants even stock up.

There is no profiteering or businessman, and he dares to hoard things like rat poison, especially for the plagued areas. It is simply for money and life.

You must know that these merchants hoarding poisonous rat poison are not outside the plague, they are merchants in plagued areas.

"Pass my order, extraordinary times, extraordinary means, anyone who deliberately sabotages the prevention and control of the plague and delays the prevention and control will be executed without mercy. All the money in the family will be confiscated."

Zhu Ying said coldly.

In this regard, there is no hesitation.

Even rat poison has to make money, what else can they not do.

If it wasn't for the fact that the lime was not worth much and was too obvious to be hoarded, I'm afraid it would have been hyped up by them.

For the businessmen who made plague fortune, one counted as one, and all of them were executed.

"The plague can't be relaxed. It's okay in the city and the village, but it's also a problem in the wild. The cat must be dispatched as soon as possible to eliminate the source of the plague, so that it can be stabilized this time."

When Zhu Ying said this, he couldn't help asking: "How many deaths are caused by the plague every day?"

When Ye Yueqing heard this, he was silent for a while before he said: "The plague in Thirty Cities currently kills about 2000 people every day, and the coffin shop is already empty. It would be nice to have a straw mat to wrap the corpse."

Zhu Ying understood that the 2000 people Ye Yueqing mentioned must be more than that, it was just an estimate.

In fact, [-] or even [-] per day is possible.

After the plague has passed, the household registration statistics will be used to know the specific number of people.

The only good thing is that the early rice is basically being harvested, at least not plague and famine.

Otherwise, once refugees are formed, the spread of the plague will be even more troublesome.

Now that everyone can have something to eat, as well as lime, including preventive measures, at least the hearts of the people in most cities have gradually stabilized.

Even if there are still people who die from the plague, at least the government has done something and can get a sense of security.

The biggest source of this sense of security is mainly because of Zhu Ying, or His Royal Highness King Yu.

Ye Yueqing did not report verbally, but in the information booklet, the method of propaganda was recorded in detail.

Among them, Zhu Ying, His Royal Highness the King of Yu, was the one to promote.

There is not much information, only the title of King Yu, not even the eldest grandson.

This is to shed suspense and pave the way for the aftermath of the plague.

In this propaganda, it is very vaguely mentioned that King Yu came from the capital to suppress lawless officials, smelt lime to drive away the plague, and made masks to prevent infection.

Coupled with the honorable status of King Yu, all the people could truly feel that the imperial court did not abandon them.

Even if it's only a few days, His Royal Highness King Yu's Longevity Card has already been enshrined in countless families.

"Boss, there is a special businessman here, pay him back and have a look." Ye Yueqing handed over a letter with information again.

Zhu Ying opened it and saw that it contained some information about businessman Song Lichang.

After reading it, Zhu Ying couldn't help sighing: "It's not the time to make money!"

In this world, there are always good people.

Song Lichang's act of dissipating his family wealth to help the people made Zhu Ying look sideways.

You must know that the county where Song Lichang is located is the most serious county. Not to mention ten houses and nine empty ones, basically one of every two households died of the plague.

In this case, not only did he not run away, but he also strictly implemented the method that Zhu Ying conveyed before, which can be said to be a ray of light in a desperate situation.

"People like this must be reused. I will write a letter to my grandfather. This person's actions should be praised and rewarded."

"All the money he dissipated will be borne by the chamber of commerce. In addition, inform people to arrange operas to make this person's moral character known to all the people and businessmen in the world."

After Zhu Ying pondered for a moment, he immediately ordered.

The power of role models is infinite, and a person like Song Lichang can definitely create a celebrity effect.

Song Lichang's reputation is not bad, and he is a typical example that Daming needs.

Just when Joo-young was dealing with the plague.

On the Goryeo side, Yao Guangxiao has already established a foundation in Goryeo.

These days, no one is simple.

Just as Zhu Ying guessed, some of the personnel he arranged for Goryeo had already begun to betray.

Regarding the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, at some point, Li Chenggui knew about it.

However, Zhu Ying has always isolated information, that is, hidden personnel do not know each other.

Li Chenggui only knew that the Qunying Chamber of Commerce had a lot of potential power, but it was not clear how many people and what positions they held.

But it was just the tip of the iceberg, and Li Chenggui didn't dare to act rashly.

The matter of Yao Guangxiao's national teacher gave Li Chenggui hope.

He was absolutely sure that Yao Guangxiao was a member of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, and those officials who respected Yao Guangxiao must be the dark sons of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.

Now Li Chenggui has not yet become king, but in April, the minister Chung Mongju who was loyal to the Goryeo Dynasty was assassinated by Li Fangyuan, the son of Li Chenggui. Since then, the last obstacle for Li Chenggui to usurp the country has been removed.

But now the king in name is still Wang Yao of the Koryo clan, who is King Gongrang.

With the arrival of Yao Guangxiao, the dark forces of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce surfaced, making Li Chenggui feel a little anxious.

He was afraid that Yao Guangxiao's support for the Koryo royal family would hinder his accession to the throne.
