The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 19 Empress Ma becomes a poisonous woman, Zhu Chongba wants to quibble!
The words of the lobby manager directly aroused Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous intentions.

Obviously, privately raising taxes is another big taboo in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

In his opinion, this is no different from those unscrupulous and corrupt officials who plundered the people in the name of taxation in the past dynasties!

Not to mention the past dynasties, he was persecuted by corrupt officials from the barbarian Yuan Dynasty when he was a child. It can be said that the squatting tax was levied in the last hut.

If not, he wouldn't have searched for the last bit of rice seed in his house!

When he thought of the three words of taxation indiscriminately, he thought of his father who hanged himself, and his mother and brother who died of starvation and were not buried in the ground.

If it weren't for Zhu Liujiu, a brother with the same surname who has no blood relationship, who gave him three points of land, his parents and brothers died on the kang, and there was no way for him to be buried in the soil!
And the people who caused this series of tragedies are corrupt officials who extort money in the name of taxation!

It can be said that his murderous aura at this moment was a subconscious reaction to hearing the private tax increase.

But after a while, he was a little relieved again!
"It's not about raising taxes on the common people indiscriminately. It's understandable to increase taxes on Xiaojinwo."

"As long as the added tax is not put into one's own pocket, it is fine for the benefit of the country and the people!"

"The imperial court stipulates that the general commercial tax is [-] points, and the brothel and gambling house is [-] points. It is not too much for him to add [-] points!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked directly: "How much tax did he increase?"

The lobby manager just looked in the direction of the county government from the corner of the eye, and said loudly: "Say it to scare you, but I can't say it!"

"No, why are you asking these irrelevant things?"

"You shouldn't be"

The lobby manager hesitated to speak, but the word alert was already in his eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang is also an old Jianghu who has been in the capital for a long time, so he will never easily arouse suspicion.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled immediately: "It's pure curiosity, it's pure curiosity!"

"Aren't we going to find Mr. Ye to cooperate in a business, knowing ourselves and the enemy is the only way to win every battle?"

Hearing this, the young lobby manager really relaxed his vigilance.

Not only did he no longer doubt Zhu Yuanzhang, but he also reminded him friendly: "It's useless to know yourself and the enemy. Our Lord Ye is smarter than the God of Wealth in the sky. If he lets you earn ten taels of silver, you will never earn eleven taels of silver."

"If you fight him for his cleverness, you will lose your pants!"

After reminding, the lobby manager urged impatiently: "Do you still choose?"

"Even if I don't choose, it's time for me to time it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang just pursed his mouth and let out a long sigh. Is this Mr. Gui, who has changed his name, so anxious?

Obviously, if you ask him, you won't be able to find any valuable news!
But it's not all for nothing!
His understanding of Ye Qing has gone to a higher level!
Never thought that he, Ye Qing, has such abilities?

This is the ability to make people earn ten taels, and others can't earn eleven taels. It really catches up with the king of hell who wants people to die in the third watch and not keep them until the fifth watch.

He Zhu Yuanzhang is the master who never believed in evil, he must go and touch it!
Of course, this is after confirming that Ye Qing didn't step on the line!

But this turtle is quite strict, he just doesn't say how much tax Ye Qing has added, so that it is difficult for him to judge whether to step on the line.

In his opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang, the method of judging whether to step on the line is very simple.

If the tax increase does not exceed ten points, it can still be said that the tax increase is normal, it is used for urban construction, and it is for the benefit of the country and the people.

But once it exceeds ten points, it needs to be analyzed in detail.

And if he wants to know the specific data, he can only place his hope on those exotic girls who have already been conquered by him.

"Give it to the master, the master will pick it now!"

quickly,

Dozens of girls from countries along the ancient Silk Road stood in a row in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

They wore the characteristic costumes of their own country, or rather boldly modified costumes.

Looking at the most beautiful and tall figure among so many exotic styles, Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction is fake.

But fortunately, his self-control is strong enough, so he can barely suppress the desire in his heart!
In the eyes of dozens of girls from various countries, Zhu Yuanzhang remained unmoved.

But because of this, they performed even harder!
Zhu Yuanzhang just pointed nine times, and nine girls greeted him with smiles, while the others left disappointed.

After closing the door, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand to stop their next step:
"Everyone stop, don't rush to turn on the water, sit in a row for us, let's chat with you first!"

Under the fantastic colorful marquee,

Zhu Yuanzhang sat in front of the table, eating the exquisite fruit platter in front of him alone, and then stared blankly at the nine foreign girls sitting on the bedside with a pair of eyes full of scrutiny.

The atmosphere of that kind of thing directly became the atmosphere of interrogating prisoners.

"How old are you all?"

The nine beauties from other places laughed in unison and said, "Brother, don't ask, you will be eighteen!"

Zhu Yuanzhang just nodded and said, "The question is eighteen?"

"Judging from this answer, he is indeed educated by veterans."

"But you all have problems with your eyes, don't you? Uncle doesn't know how to call him brother?"

When the nine girls heard the answer from the uncle in front of them, they just smiled awkwardly.

They also never expected that there would be such a straightforward person in the world!

This is the place where the 80-year-old uncle should be called brother!

At this very moment, one of the fair-haired and blue-eyed girls took the lead in attacking Zhu Yuanzhang.

After she winked, she said in that not-so-standard Chinese: "Uncle, you have an extraordinary appearance, so handsome!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even look at it, only the delicious fruit in his eyes.

While spitting out the seeds, he said, "It's about the same as being extraordinary, but much less handsome!"

"you"

Speechless!
The blonde girl is speechless!

These nine girls from various countries along the Silk Road were also speechless!
They have been pissed off by Zhu Yuanzhang, and they are really not in the mood to provide package service!

Even if you continue to work, it's for your livelihood. It's like a walking dead, with no taste at all!
But they didn't know that this was Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose.

Only when you have lost your interest can you feel at ease chatting.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at them with his head tilted and said, "Actually, we don't like crowds. Please answer a few questions for us."

"Whoever answers first will be the one we love tonight!"

As soon as the words fell, the nine girls immediately began to look like wolves.

Zhu Yuanzhang made a good judgment. These girls who have been in contact with three religions and nine schools really know a lot of news.

But they also don't know how much Ye Qing raised the tax!

I only know that although Ye Qing has raised a lot of taxes, the boss and the girls are still making money, and they are still willing to do it!

Hearing this news, Zhu Yuanzhang was once again amazed by Ye Qing's business talent.

This is the application of "Zhou Yu Da Huang Gai" in business!

As long as Ye Qing doesn't step on Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line, he will definitely have a bright future!
After making up such an idea, Zhu Yuanzhang was ready to break his promise.

He didn't dare to really love anyone, so he could only run away with his waistband protected.

But how could these girls let him go so easily?

After all, there was such a man who made them lose their souls even after giving them money.

After a while,

Zhu Yuanzhang stepped out of the threshold of [Sai Guifei Clubhouse] and reappeared in the eyes of Empress Ma.

It's just that what he looks like now directly makes Empress Ma's benevolent eyebrows and phoenix eyes turn vicious.

"Sister,"

"Listen to us, things are definitely not what you see!".
