The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 12 Master Ye's subordinates teach Zhu Yuanzhang a lesson!
"What did you say?"

"His way of being an official is to be an official for thousands of miles only for money?"

Before Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma could react, Mao Xiang screamed in surprise.

Xiao Er didn't pay much attention to Mao Xiang's sudden violent reaction.

After all, he could tell that this person was either the housekeeper or the guard of the lord and his wife in front of him.

And the one who really keeps his word is the big old man in front of him, with his eyes wide open and his chest heaving violently, obviously very angry.

Of course, the wife beside him is also a person who can count on her words!

He has seen a lot of wealthy businessmen and couples who are away from home, but it is the first time he has seen a master with only small money in his pocket and a wife with big money in his arms.

In Xiao Er's eyes, after hearing such a way of being an official, the elder in front of him was so angry that his eyes immediately turned scarlet.

Based on this alone, it is enough to show that he is Zhu Yuanzhang's brainless fan and has not run away!
But the lady next to her was different. Although she was also a little angry, she was far from the master next to her who was about to explode!

After Empress Ma felt that her family's weight was about to lose control, she immediately prepared to speak out to stop it.

In her opinion, there is really no need to get angry with a waiter in the shop. Even if you are very angry, you have to hold back quickly.

After they understand everything and confirm that Ye Qing is really an out-and-out corrupt official, it's not too late to get angry.

Fortunately, although Zhu Yuanzhang was impulsive and irritable, he was not a brainless person. Before Queen Ma could speak, he suppressed his anger.

In Xiao Er's eyes,
After Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath, he just said with a serious face: "Little brother, what you said is wrong. Do you understand the meaning of the saying that being an official for thousands of miles is only for money?"

"The meaning of this sentence is that a person starts with evil intentions, and it is with the idea of ​​getting rich that he works hard to study."

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xiaoer in front of him with all his scrutiny.

The reason why he calmed down all of a sudden just now was because he thought of what Empress Ma had said to him before he set off.

Even now, he hoped that Ye Qing would be like what Empress Ma said, in order to reach heaven and establish a direct communication channel with him, Zhu Yuanzhang, so he wrote his self-evaluation into a self-report letter!
There is no other reason,

As far as he started from the Yanmen County boundary marker until he entered this store, all he saw was Ye Qing's outstanding political achievements.

He really didn't want such a talent to die in his hands because of a greedy word!

Therefore, he has to confirm again and again the authenticity of the phrase 'being an official for thousands of miles is only for money'!
You must know that the behavior of engaging in business as an official is absolutely different from the way of being an official who is an official for thousands of miles only for talents.

To engage in business as an official, it may be that after becoming an official, he became tainted with copper stink because he couldn't bear the temptation, or it may be to deliberately leave the so-called 'handle' for Li Shanchang and the others!
Ben was the one who rejected their olive branch. If he didn't leave a 'handle', he probably wouldn't be able to wait for Zhu Yuanzhang's arrival alive!
But if he had the aim of 'becoming an official for thousands of miles only for money' from the beginning, then he was not a good person in his bones!
Why not kill such a person?

No matter how talented such a person is, he must be killed as soon as possible!

Even if it is to use, Zhu Yuanzhang will not use such a person!
Therefore, he must double check!
After figuring it out, he will know how to deal with it.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind, Xiaoer said firmly, "How could I not understand what it means to be an official for thousands of miles?"

"My lord, don't think that I can't read because I'm just a waiter in the shop."

"This sentence was said by Mr. Ye in front of all of us after he took office."

"Master Ye said this in public after he took office. I still remember the scene at that time."

Hearing such a sentence, even the experienced and well-informed Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife immediately widened their eyes.

Getting angry is definitely essential!

In front of the public, he said that his way of being an official is to be an official for thousands of miles only for money?

How arrogant and ruthless a person must be to be able to say this?
But he must have a reason for doing this!
It was this reason that made them rack their brains and couldn't figure it out, aroused their strong curiosity, and was enough to temporarily suppress the furious curiosity in their hearts!
Because of this curiosity, neither Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma, nor Mao Xiang made any further interruptions.

While recalling the past, Xiao Er also told what he saw and heard at that time.

Following Xiao Er's retrospective narration, they also had the scene of Ye Qing's early arrival in their minds.

When Ye Qing came to office, Yanmen County was still a poor place, it can be said that corrupt officials would have a headache, because there was nothing to covet!

The first thing Ye Qing did when he took office was to call all the people who can speak from all over the world to the open space at the gate of the county government office to hear the speech!
He was serious and earnest, and talked about his way of being an official in a promised tone. He directly stated that he came to be an official to make a fortune!
But this place is so poor that he doesn't even know how to be greedy!
He immediately decided to develop this place into a place where he could make money even with his eyes closed.

At that time, the people lived a good life, and he also made a fortune!
It was such a promise of 'a win-win situation between the government and the people' that at the time it could be said that eight out of ten people did not believe it.

There are even some people who are similar to Zhu Yuanzhang's brainless fans, who almost smashed the Yamen.

But as the saying goes, there are all kinds of people, there are still some people who believe in Ye Qing!

In fact, it's not that I believe him!

They are all people who have eaten their last meal and never finished their next meal, that is to say, they are just dead horses as living horse doctors!

In this way, there is such a group of people following Ye Qing.

But it didn't take long for everyone to see the results, and more and more people joined in.

To this day, all the people in Yanmen County have recognized such a win-win plan for the government and the people!

After a while,

Xiaoer's mouth was really dry, so he poured himself a glass of water: "I have said so much, do you understand?"

"good,"

"Master Ye is indeed an out-and-out corrupt official, and his business is far more than this beef shop, but he is the big boss behind any business that can make a fortune."

"But he let us all have enough to eat, and we don't have to wear clothes that are full of patches!"

"The common people are actually very talkative. As long as the big guy is fed, dressed warmly, and able to survive, no one cares whether he is a corrupt official or not."

"Compared to those honest officials who try to gain fame, people here prefer him, the corrupt official who keeps the big guys from starving to death!"

"."

Hearing these words, Empress Ma immediately smiled with relief at the corner of her mouth.

Only Zhu Yuanzhang still looked dignified, looking thoughtful.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly had a feeling!
The Emperor Lao Tzu from the capital city was taught a lesson by the waiter in Yanmen County!

It can also be said that he was taught a lesson by those employees of Mr. Ye who hadn't met yet! .
