The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 11 The key also depends on Empress Ma, Mrs. Ye has been an official for thousands of miles only for money!

Looking at the shop waiter who was asking for money, Mao Xiang also smiled helplessly.

According to what they have seen so far, Yanmen County under Master Ye's rule has given them a lot of surprises, but they never expected that the Xiaoer in Master Ye's shop is also so different.

It was the first time he saw the waiter in the shop who asked the emperor Laozi for the tea fee.

He also accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang to a private visit to Weifu in Yingtian City, and he didn't see any shop boy who dared to ask Zhu Yuanzhang for tea.

Even though he didn't wear a dragon robe, the dragon power seeping from his bones was enough to make people daunting!
Not to mention those waiters in the shop obediently answer all questions, but they dare not take the initiative to ask for money!

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded with a smile, and almost said the words "you have kindness".

People are like this sometimes, they like to deal with people who dare to be 'presumptuous' to themselves.

Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, who is the most powerful person, no one around him dares to be presumptuous except Queen Ma.

It can be regarded as fresh!

Not only was he not angry, but he also took out two taels of silver with a smile and said, "It's enough for you to earn for a month, sit down and talk to us carefully."

"Answer what we ask, otherwise we will."

But at this moment, Xiao Er just looked at the two taels of silver, shook his head and said, "My lord, please be a little more generous before saying these words!"

"I can earn five taels of silver just by being in the store for a month, and then I help merchants arrange hotels and so on. After running errands, I can also earn five or six taels of silver."

"Your two taels of silver are only enough to ask three questions, and you can't do one more. If you delay for a long time, if I get fined, it's not worth it!"

What the shop waiter said immediately made the three of them look at each other with admiration.

One must know that a peddler who does business in other places earns only three taels a month, but here a sophomore can make a monthly income of ten taels?

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two taels of silver he generously took out, and felt a little bit pain in the face.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could react, Empress Ma directly took out a 50 tael banknote: "Is it enough for you to know everything?"

Xiao Er blinked his eyes, put away the banknotes, and smiled so much that he almost wrote the word "flattery" on it.

Xiaoer put down his things, sat in front of them, and became a "prisoner" who was willing to be tried: "It's still this lady who goes on the road, and you can ask anything you want about everything about this county."

"Whether it's for fun or for business, there's nothing I don't know."

Zhu Yuanzhang on the side looked at Xiaoer who was full of his sisters, and suddenly felt left out.

He just moved his position, sat next to Mao Xiang, and watched Empress Ma play with some disappointment.

At the same time, she also complained in a low voice: "This prodigal girl, in the palace, she can't wait to spend one money in half, but now it's better, she is more generous than anyone else."

Mao Xiang just smiled, and whispered in his ear: "Who told you that you only have a little silver on your body, and all the treasures are on your mother?"

The next moment, Zhu Yuanzhang just looked at Mao Xiang coldly, and said, "Try to run on me like this in the palace." Although he didn't say it out of his mouth, it was almost written on his eyes.

"Cough cough!"

Mao Xiang just smiled, coughed lightly, and then moved to the side.

Zhu Yuanzhang also temporarily let Mao Xiang go, and looked directly at Empress Ma in front of him!

Although he felt that her sister stole his limelight, he believed that his sister would be able to ask him everything he wanted to know.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes,

Empress Ma just raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Little brother, I don't need to ask you how to play and how to find sales channels."

"I have memorized all the "Yanmen County Business Travel Guidelines" issued when I entered the city."

Hearing these words, Xiao Er's eyes on Empress Ma immediately changed, and at the same time he became more serious, and at the same time, he also showed so much respect.

The way he looked at Empress Ma before was similar to the way he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, that is, looking at rich and powerful families.

And the rich and big families are all fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered in their place!

But looking at it now, it should be a suddenly rich upstart who married the eldest lady of the scholarly family!

Xiao Er also said politely, "What does Madam want to ask?"

Empress Ma nodded and said, "I would like to know why you Lord Ye know that you are not allowed to engage in business as an official, but you insist on knowing the law and breaking the law."

"I also want to know, where do you strong cattle come from?"

"Looking at the number of diners you have, at least one cow can be sold a day. Thirty cows a month is not a small amount."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened immediately.

Yes!

Where did he get so many healthy cows?

Bought from a farmer?

This is definitely unrealistic, no farmer is willing to sell his strong cattle!

Could it be that it was bought from Beiyuan herdsmen?

But judging from the current situation of Daming and Beiyuan, they will not easily sell cattle and horses to the Central Plains.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang realized the crux of the problem, and secretly praised his sister for being careful, Xiaoer also nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, this lady can chat."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was left on the sidelines, was so angry that his teeth itch when he saw Xiaoer's "money is a mother".

But he didn't bother to argue with a junior, he just concentrated on listening to the answer.

Xiao Er continued to answer: "Don't worry, we will come one by one."

"By the way, you have more or less experience in the city. What do you think is different between our place and other places?"

Empress Ma also paused slightly for Xiao Er's sudden question.

She quickly went through what she had seen and heard from the boundary marker in Yanmen County in her mind.

It's really different everywhere, and everywhere is much better than other places.

Just thinking about it like this made her cherish Ye Qing even more!
In fact, the reason why he asked these two questions was just to hope that Xiao Er could give a reasonable explanation.

It can also be said that there is a reason for her to minimize Ye Qing's crimes.

Although she also felt that the possibility of this was extremely slim!
Yes!

Doing business as an official and publicly selling freshly slaughtered healthy beef is a felony of decapitation no matter what.

It is really impossible to reduce these two serious crimes.

But Empress Ma still answered Xiao Er's question with the attitude of giving it a try.

She not only clearly stated the good things about Yanmen County, but also gave Ye Qing a pertinent praise for his level of governance!

As soon as Queen Ma's words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately looked at Xiao Er who was opposite him.

It's his turn to answer!
In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Xiao Er nodded and said, "That's right!"

"The reason why our place is so much better than other places, and it is illegal to eat cattle in other places, but we have free beef here, all depends on Lord Ye's way of being an official!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma heard this, there was obvious anticipation in their eyes at the same time.

"Master Ye's way of being an official is that being an official for thousands of miles is only for money!".
