Chapter 394;

After all, most of these officials belonged to other aristocratic families, and anyone with a discerning eye could see what Emperor Hongwen meant by doing this suddenly.

Naturally, it is impossible to give the Han family a chance.

It has to be said that Emperor Hongwen was really ruthless this time.

When the head of the Han family knew about this, he immediately went to the household department in person, expressing that he would make an additional donation.

The Hubu Shangshu did not take it, but reported it to His Majesty.

It is not an idiot who can achieve the position of Shangshu. When Emperor Hongwen asked him to read the list of donations this morning, he had already thought of what Emperor Hongwen meant.

The half day yesterday was actually the last chance given by Emperor Hongwen to the Han family, but unfortunately the Han family did not seize it.

Now everything is a foregone conclusion, your Han family only came here at this time, why bother so reluctantly?
"Patriarch Han, please sit here for a while, and let me report to His Majesty."

Soon the Minister of the Household Department went to the Yushufang to report the situation.

Emperor Hongwen didn't even raise his head.

"At this time, the list that Aiqing read in the morning must have been circulated, and the Ministry of Industry may have started to make merit monuments."

"At this time, it may be inconvenient to change it again."

Hearing this, Hubu Shangshu immediately understood what Emperor Hongwen meant.

"At that time, the veteran will not think carefully, so the veteran will resign first."

Emperor Hongwen nodded.

Not long after, the Han patriarch left the household department with a gloomy face, angry.

Emperor Hongwen really didn't give him a chance.

Thinking of the things I donated, instead of gaining a good reputation, I might even get a bad reputation.

There was a puff of breath in his chest, and it was really uncomfortable that he couldn't get up and down.

It has to be said that the Ministry of Industry moved very quickly, and erected the merit monument at noon the next day.

When the monument was erected again, the people in the capital rushed to tell each other, and gathered beside the gate of the palace.

"Why did the Han family donate so much?"

"Yeah, the Han family has been so rich these years, why are they so petty?"

As soon as someone opened his mouth, it immediately attracted many people's discussions.

The Han family has been running around very fiercely these years, with all kinds of arrogant, insolent, and show-off operations to show off their wealth.

"It's such a petty family, and it's still trying to replace the Dong family as the first family?"

"It's ridiculous."

"Isn't it? I heard that the Dong family was the first to speak up about this donation."

"This level of awareness is definitely not comparable to that of the Han family."

"Does it need to be said? How long has the Dong family been passed down? How old is the Han family? To put it bluntly, the Han family is just a typical nouveau riche."

"That is, if it weren't for the difficult situation at the beginning of the founding of Dongzhou, how could the Han family manage so many salt businesses?"

"After taking so many things and earning money from our people, now that the people are in trouble, they are so petty."

"Without our people, how will his Han family's business do?"

"Yes, this kind of thing that can only get in and out is really disgusting."

"Especially their salt is so-so, and it's so expensive, it's far worse than snowflake salt."

The more people talked, the more they belittled the Han family.

In the end, many people began to crusade against the Han family. They have been doing business with a dark heart these years.

The quality of their salt is so low, and it is so expensive. The quality of their snowflake salt is top-notch, so they only sell for less than half of their price.

This is typical of the Han family's greed, occupying the salt industry market, and cheating the common people.

All of a sudden, the people of the capital began to criticize the Han family one after another.

They also pulled out other families for comparison. Without comparison, there would be no harm.

More and more faults of the Han family were brought out, and the reputation of the Han family fell rapidly.

The head of the Han family, who got the news, didn't bring it up in one breath, and fainted.

Mud horse, I also donated [-] shi of grain and [-] silver.

Although he is not number one, he is number four anyway, and there are more than a hundred numbers below him.

Why scold him the Han family?The one with a number of one hundred and worse was actually praised, what the hell is this?
Too much, too much.

For the dissatisfaction of the members of the Han family, no one outside cares about it.

Under the guidance of public opinion from caring people, the fourth in the Han family is not as good as the last small businessman on the merit tablet who donated a few hundred stones.

In a colloquial way.

If you have a hundred dollars and can donate ninety-nine dollars, it will definitely be more touching than those who have millions but only donate ten thousand.

Of course, all of this is the result of re-guiding by caring people.

In fact, to be honest, no matter how small the donation is, it has to be respected. After all, it is a contribution. Isn't it worth a penny for a hundred thousand stones of love?
It's just that someone wants to clean up the Han family, so even if the Han family is fourth, it is wrong.

"Miss, this Han family is really pitiful."

Qiu Yu said with a smile.

"It's not pity, it should be aggrieved."

Qiushuang also opened her mouth with a smile.

"That's right, that's a typical example of losing your wife and losing your army."

Regarding what they said, Lu Yaoyao smiled and said, "This is just the beginning, just watch, the Han family will suffer later."

The current public opinion has only just begun, and it will be even more difficult for the Han family when it spreads out of the capital and across the country.

It has to be said that Emperor Hongwen cut off the opportunity of the Han family and then guided the public opinion.

"The Han family is going to be in bad luck."

Dong Xiang also chatted with his wife about this matter at the mansion.

"How could this be? The Han family also donated a lot, so how come no one speaks for them?"

Mrs. Dong really couldn't understand what happened this time.

"Then who is to blame? It's just that they were too high-profile in the past, standing too high, but they couldn't show the courage to match."

"It's either the first or the wrong, even if it's the second, the result will be the same as now."

"why?"

Dong Xiang smiled mysteriously, and said in a low voice; "Because some people don't like them, this is just the beginning. Just watch, the life of the Han family will become more and more difficult in the future."

"Master, you are really wise. If it hadn't been for the sudden decision to add, I'm afraid the current situation of the Han family will be like ours."

As the first place on the merit tablet, the Luo family has earned a good reputation this time.

"The Han family is still a little tender."

"Yes, yes, but master, His Majesty's move this time is really ruthless. I don't know how he could come up with such a powerful strategy."

Hearing this, Luo Shanping narrowed his eyes slightly, this time's conspiracy was indeed very subtle.

But he has a feeling that this time the scheme is not from the hands of Emperor Hongwen.

We must know that Dongzhou has not been smooth sailing in the past ten years. In the past, when the imperial court was short of food, Emperor Hongwen put down his body and begged the family to borrow food.

If he really had such means, would he put down his figure?

Moreover, the strategy this time is very different from Emperor Hongwen's character.

Therefore, he felt that Emperor Hongwen definitely did not come up with this strategy, but someone gave him a trick.

It's just who it is, he still can't think of it.

"Go prepare the carriage, I'm going to Dong Xiang's mansion."
