The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 159 What Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't do, Master Ye did again!

Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife had just entered Bianmao Street, and they just stood there and did not leave.

In their eyes, it is a bluestone street with a width of twenty feet, and the two sides of the street are brick and wood structures with six purlins, saddles and tile-roofed houses.

The blue bricks, black tiles and wooden doors give this side of the street a little Jiangnan flavor.

And these open doors are all business stores, some selling specialties of the Central Plains, some selling grassland specialties, and some selling specialties of the Western Regions.

These special products include snacks, porcelain, glazed products, tea, ready-made clothing and cloth with ethnic characteristics, etc.

As for the shopkeepers who do business, they are also Han Chinese, some from Semu people, and some from Mongolian Yuan.

These shopkeepers who are proficient in multiple languages ​​speak Chinese when they see everyone, and only when the customers are really not good at Chinese, they start talking nonsense.

There are so many people shopping, even though the street is twenty feet wide, it seems a bit crowded!

Looking at these pedestrians shopping, I just feel that I am watching an exhibition of clothing of various ethnic groups, and I can see all kinds of clothing colors.

Not only that, but the shops on both sides have already connected the beams to each other, and what are hanging on these lines are all kinds of lanterns.

There are silk lampshades, glazed lampshades, and marquees that can rotate with the wind.

Not to mention that these lights illuminate the entire Border Trade Street, the lights of different colors are enough to make people ignore the bright stars in the sky.

The founding emperor of Ming Dynasty also showed a look of relief in such an environment.

Especially Zhu Yuanzhang fell into deep thought.

In his mind, there are all kinds of scenes of Ye Qing's rebellion and all kinds of anger that made him lose his sense of proportion.

But in his eyes, it was his ideal scene, but he still failed to achieve it, and felt that it was a scene that was out of reach.

Yes,

After the founding of the country, he decided not to learn from Ran Min to kill Hu Ling, but instead let the Semu people and Mengyuan people who lived in the Ming Dynasty become legal citizens of the Ming Dynasty, just because every place in the Ming Dynasty was seen by him. this scene.

But the fact is not what he wants!

He believes that one day the Han people will assimilate them all, but he never sees that day.

But even if he can't see that day, he hopes that before assimilating these Semu people and Mengyuan people, all the Semu people and Mengyuan people in the Ming Dynasty will sincerely recognize the Ming Dynasty and be loyal to him, Emperor Zhu .

But the reality gave him a slap in the face, they did not sincerely recognize the Ming Dynasty, and he even got news that many Mongolian Yuan people secretly worshiped the former Yuan Emperor at home!

But what he saw here was not like this. The Han people here fully possessed the self-confidence that the people of the Tang Dynasty looked down on all the barbarians in the world!

And the Mengyuan people, Semu people, and people from the Western Regions all laughed so genuinely!

It takes time to assimilate the word. Even Yanmen County under Ye Qing's rule cannot assimilate them now, but it has managed to make them fully recognize this place.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Yuanzhang saw the "sense of belonging" and the feeling of "home" in their eyes and smiling faces.

Zhu Yuanzhang can be sure that these foreigners who obtained Daming household registration because of his decree and settled in Yanmen County no longer regard themselves as foreigners from the bottom of their hearts.

In order to confirm his conjecture, Zhu Yuanzhang went directly to a Mongolian barbecue skewer shop.

"Give us a hundred skewers of mutton skewers."

A young man in his 20s from Meng Yuan, seeing the big business coming, also took the initiative to chat with Zhu Yuanzhang while grilling skewers.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "You speak northern Han, you don't look like a native of Beiyuan!"

The young man from Meng Yuan immediately corrected him: "My lord, let me correct you. My ancestors were from Meng Yuan who moved from the previous Yuan, but I am not from the current Bei Yuan."

"We are of the same clan, but we have absolutely different paths!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be curious and said, "Why do people of the same clan have different ways?"

The young man Meng Yuan didn't hide it, and said directly: "It's not easy, our ancestors all came from the grasslands, but the roads they walked are different!"

"They always want to fight back, always want to re-establish the Yuan Dynasty!"

"But what is the Yuan Dynasty? It doesn't know how to govern at all. Except for those nobles who have enough to eat, even we can't have enough to eat!"

"Your Majesty is so wise that after winning the world, he didn't hunt and drive us away, and sent such a good official to manage us."

"It was Lord Ye who made us have a family, and it was Lord Ye who told us that our ancestral special craftsmanship can make us earn money."

"Master Ye said that as long as you don't look like coal, you can become a 'Huaxia Nation'!"

"As long as you recognize this place, as long as you are willing to fight for this land, you are all citizens of Ming Dynasty, all people of Yanmen!"

"If Bei Yuan comes in, I will cut them harder than anyone else!"

"Because they are thieves who broke into my house!"

At the time of these words, the eyes of the young man from Mengyuan really had a knife's edge, not only that, but even the mutton cutting board was cut into two with one knife.

Because the force of the knife was too great, a piece of mutton shreds flew directly to Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

After Zhu Yuanzhang wiped his face, he stopped talking and just nodded with a smile.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "Then, do you still worship the former Yuan Emperor?"

The young man Meng Yuan only felt that there was something wrong with this person, but he still didn't want to offend such a big client, so he said generously: "I don't know if others worship, but I will definitely not worship!"

"Emperor Yuan made me miserable again, why should I worship him?"

"If His Majesty continues to be so holy, after he dies, I will worship him!"

"."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately had a dumbfounding expression, but generally speaking, he was quite happy.

Although this statement sounds a bit outrageous, it is generally considered a good statement.

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang and the young man paid the money and delivered the goods.

Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife, together with Mao Xiang and his twelve Jinyiwei guards, each shared six or seven skewers of mutton skewers.

Seeing the weight of sincerity, everyone frowned.

Mao Xiang approached and said: "Master, if we eat this, how can we still eat Master Ye's banquet?"

Zhu Yuanzhang just said with a smile: "Then we don't care, we will definitely finish eating everything in our hands, you can do whatever you want!"

The Jinyiwei boys also had no choice but to eat directly. Do they dare to be casual?

How dare you throw away the mutton skewers rewarded by His Majesty before you finish eating them?
Empress Ma, who was always by the side, ate happily, just because her family Zhongba was happy, so she was happy.

Obviously, her family, Shigeba, also recognized Ye Qing's ability in ethnic management!

From the current point of view, he has temporarily forgotten that Ye Qing made him suffer so much!
that's it,
Zhu Yuanzhang led his people to walk from the end of Bianmao Street to the end of Bianmao Street.

Along the way, he chatted with many people. After chatting with the vendors, he chatted with the shoppers. Han people, Semu people, Mengyuan people, people from the Western Regions talked a lot.

Through such a journey of understanding, although he didn't want to praise Ye Qing, he had to.

Zhu Yuanzhang said to Empress Ma: "We stipulate that these foreigners who have settled in Ming Dynasty are not allowed to marry like this, in order to assimilate them, but it will take several generations, and we will never see that day."

"But we also want to see that before that, they all recognize us."

"What we didn't do, was done by the seventh-rank county magistrate. What a fucking talent!"

After boasting, he immediately realized a very serious problem.

"no,"

"It's almost three quarters of the clock, what about Ye Qingren?"

"He said he wanted to invite us to dinner, but in the end he mentioned Bianmao Street, and didn't mention any restaurant?"

Empress Ma couldn't laugh or cry when she saw Chongba's sudden epiphany.

Along the way, there were meat skewers and various pastries, everyone was already full, so he remembered that Ye Qing invited them to dinner.

The point is that he still has the face to blame others for being insincere?

But after thinking about it, he, Ye Qing, really didn't do well, how could he treat guests with only a big place name?
There are so many people here, where can I find someone?

But at this moment, a familiar voice came from behind.

Empress Ma immediately turned her head and saw the three familiar figures.

[Border Trade Specialty Restaurant] In front of the gate,

Shen Wan'er asked: "Master Ye, don't you even mention the name of the restaurant when you treat guests to dinner?"

Wu Yong frowned and said, "How can this be done!"

Ye Qing opened the folding fan, and said indifferently: "Mistake, just a small mistake."

"Furthermore, if they don't come, aren't they all eaten by you?"

"One of you has a small waist that has become a bucket waist, and the other has eaten so much that it looks like you are five months pregnant. After you eat and drink enough, you start to blame me?"

Wu Yong and Shen Wan'er were a little embarrassed by what was said, so they immediately shut their mouths.

But at this moment, Ye Qing secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Can he make such a low-level mistake?
He did it on purpose!

He just wanted them to find out that Ye Qing was not sincere, he didn't even mention the name of the shop.

When it comes to offending Master Guo, a part-time imperial envoy, he, Ye Qing, is absolutely meticulous.

Besides, he still has big things to do tonight, he doesn't have time to entertain them, he just wants to entertain Wang Baobao's people well!

"Lord Ye,"

"You finished eating, remember us?"

On the street, Zhu Yuanzhang and Ye Qing faced each other again, the distance between them was still at a distance where they could stab each other to death at any time.

With just a glance, Ye Qing knew that they were very absorbed in shopping, and they were already full from eating snacks.

He also never expected that these people were so big-hearted.

He didn't even mention the specific store name, so why did they really come here?

And at this moment,
Seeing that Master Guo was a little displeased, Wu Yong was about to go up and say something nice.

Ye Qing saw that Wu Yong wanted to spoil his good deed again, so he immediately spoke first: "Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

"Since I didn't mention the name of the store, it proves that it was a polite word. If you take the polite words as the truth, I can only blame you for being stupid!"

"Where did you get the face to talk to me in a weird way here?".
