The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 267 Zhu Yuanzhang killed Master Ye and Wang Baobao together, passed the imperial seal home, and paid homage to Qin Shihuang!
"You shouldn't be talking about Ye Qing, right?"

In the Chinese army commander's tent where the mutton soup was still fragrant, although Xu Da knew he was talking about Ye Qing, he still confirmed it again after reacting.

In fact, not only Xu Da, it can be said that everyone present knows that the Lord Ye mentioned by Wang Baobao is Ye Qing!
But they just can't figure out what this is for?
You must know that Ye Qing was the man who transformed him from a general with an army of 30 under his command to a 'captain of ten thousand' with only tens of thousands of remaining soldiers.

According to common sense, he should be gnashing his teeth with hatred. If he didn't ask to kill Ye Qing, he already had a good character.

But it would be better for him, Wang Baobao, to use his own life to protect Ye Qing's future!

To put it nicely, this is what it is, but to put it ugly, it is threatening Zhu Yuanzhang. If Zhu Yuanzhang does not agree to this request, he will commit suicide on the spot.

What is this behavior?
Even Xu Da, who was evaluated by Zhu Yuanzhang as "unparalleled in both talent and military skills", immediately found a four-character word that could accurately describe this behavior.

"Back to Marshal Xu, I am referring to Mr. Ye Qingye, the magistrate of Yanmen County." Wang Baobao said while kneeling and holding his fists.

"and many more!"

Xu Da hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Please leave me alone first. Don't lead me into the ditch. I won't be fooled by you."

As he spoke, Xu Da squatted down decisively, looked directly into Wang Baobao's eyes and said, "Do you know what you are doing?"

"Repaying kindness with kindness is no longer enough to describe it. Your behavior is repaying kindness with kindness for his father. It is very repaying kindness with kindness!"

"I am very curious, what are your thoughts?"

Wang Baobao did not answer this question directly, but turned to look at the mutton soup pot prepared for him and his generals.

Wang Baobao gave a rare smile and said: "Xu Shuai, if you really want to talk, it can't be finished in one or two sentences. I'm a little hungry. Can we eat first?"

"After eating, I will go out for a walk with Xu Shuai and talk to you alone!"

Xu Da looked at the mutton soup pot that was prepared for them, and then said with a smile: "You still know that I prepared it for you, go and eat it!"

Wang Baobao, Nai'er and others sat down and started gobbling it up.

Xu Da just watched for a while, then called Li Wenzhong and Tang He to come out, leaving only Fu Youde and others watching inside.

The three of them came to the gate of the camp and watched the carts of grain being pulled to Hala and Lincheng. They also watched the soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty rushing to remove their armor and discard their swords, and queue up to receive grain with the herdsmen in the city.

Li Wenzhong asked in confusion: "What on earth is he thinking about?"

Xu Da was also puzzled and said: "How do I know? They have surrendered anyway. As for what Wang Baobao is thinking, can't we find out by just talking?
"But no matter how we talk, his second condition is not something I can agree to!"

"although."

Having said this, Xu Da immediately stopped talking and said, "Although I also think it would be best if your Majesty agreed," he didn't dare to say it even when it came to his lips.

Half an hour later, Wang Baobao looked much better after eating and drinking. He and Xu Da rode horses together, heading west along the Orkhon River.

It wasn't until the war horse began to breathe out that the two men reined in the horse.

Wang Baobao pointed his riding crop to the west and said, "Shuai Xu, where is that other side of the mountain?"

Xu Da looked at the snowy peaks on the line between the sky and the earth, and shook his head and said: "The world is so big, it is not the world we think of. I have never been to such a far place."

Wang Baobao said proudly: "Our ancestors fought there!"

Xu Da rolled his eyes at Wang Baobao and said: "There is a saying in the Central Plains: 'A good man does not mention his former bravery.' Your ancestors looted everything after they fought there. They neither managed the local area nor provided any cultural education. They just 'got here'." It’s just a swim!”

"Look at Xue Rengui, our famous general from the Central Plains. He is the powerful general on the right and the governor of Andong, commanding [-] troops to stay in the old territory of Goryeo."

"During his tenure, he implemented benevolent policies, established Sinology, and commended and rewarded local people with high moral character and outstanding behavior."

"For a while, the Korean people were so happy that they even forgot the pain of their country's subjugation. Until now, they are still building a temple to worship Xue Rengui."

"War is just a means. If we don't manage it in the later stage, we won't get cultural recognition, and we won't let them have a sense of belonging. In the end, they will just be here for a visit."

"The Heavenly Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, everyone in the world is proud to be naturalized in the Tang Dynasty!"

"It's a pity that God doesn't fulfill people's wishes. Long-term peace and stability in Chang'an is not easy."

Speaking of this, Xu Da couldn't help but frowned.

Wang Baobao said with a smile: "I have always known the mistakes made by our ancestors. Although I am from the Tai tribe of Meng Yuanbo, I was born in Gushi County, Guangzhou. My Han name is Wang Baobao. I have followed the teachings of Confucius and Mencius since I was a child. Learning from the old, Sun Tzu’s Art of War.”

"Because of this, I know very clearly how big of a mistake they made, and I want to change the status quo on my own."

"Xu Shuai, do you believe it?"

"If I were the person who sat on the throne of Emperor Yuan back then, I would definitely abolish the 'four-class system' as soon as possible, and then do what you just said, fight first and then cure!"

Xu Da just smiled faintly: "It's time to wake up from the dream!"

"Actually, I have always believed that there will be a day when the Han Meng family will be truly realized, but my children of the Han family are the eternal eldest brothers!"

"Maybe we won't be able to see it in our lifetime, but our children and grandchildren will definitely do it."

"Wear the same military uniform, resist the invaders together, and explore further territories together."

Wang Baobao looked at Xu Da, whose eyes were full of confidence, and did not refute his vision for the future, because he had already seen Xu Da's dream come true in one place.

Wang Baobao had never been to Yanmen County, and the spies never returned, but the information he learned from passing merchants was enough to prove this point.

This was also the reason why he tried his best to win over Ye Qing with the utmost sincerity!
Wang Baobao looked in the direction of Yanmen County and said, "Shuai Xu has been to Yanmen County, so he must have taken advantage of his time to take a rest and walk around!"

"These scenes you mentioned, which you and I will never see in our lifetimes, are they seen in Yanmen County?"

When Xu Da heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.

Even if you don’t say it, you still don’t think it is true. When Wang Baobao said this, it is really the case!
Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he traveled all over the country and saw many local officials governing the country.

Despite Zhu Yuanzhang's repeated orders, anyone who obtained a Ming ancestry, whether Mongolian or Semu, would enjoy equal treatment as Ming people except that they were not allowed to marry.

But many local officials still transferred their hatred towards Qian Yuan to them.

From the perspective of the long-term interests of the country, this is not a good thing, but it is a normal thing nowadays, and there is no way to deal with it too much.

If you overdo it, people will say, 'They have bullied us for hundreds of years, why can't we vent our anger? '

There was no other way, and the imperial court just turned a blind eye to the matter, hoping to use time to heal everything and achieve the goal of long-term peace and stability.

But this Yanmen County is different. In just three years, it has become a real Hanmeng family!
Not only the Han and Mongolians, but all people from Yanmen in the Ming Dynasty were united as never before during the war. Whether they were soldiers, civilians, or ordinary people, they all used their actions to interpret the four words "share the same hatred and the same enemy."

After the war, people of all ethnic groups lived happily again.

If Yanmen County can be compared to a small country, then Ye Qing, the 'owner of the country', has turned Xu Da's dream into a reality!
Thinking of this, Xu Da immediately understood the reason why Wang Baobao was so "repaying evil with kindness", because in just three years, Ye Qing turned the dream that he and Wang Baobao could not realize in their lifetimes into a solid reality!
"I think I already know the reason why you are willing to risk your own life to protect Ye Qing's future."

After hearing this, Wang Baobao raised his arrogant head and said: "Surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang?"

"If it weren't for Ye Qing, I wouldn't surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang even if I hit him to death!"

Xu Da immediately interrupted: "Don't say this again, but I recognize you as the 'wonderful man in the world'."

"It's amazing that you can do something that can only be described as 'repaying his father with kindness'!"

"I can't agree to your second condition. I can only use six hundred miles to expedite your request and let him make his own decision."

"However, I think you can come with me. First go to Yanmen County to meet Ye Qing, and then return to Beijing to talk to His Majesty. Whether you can eventually become my general depends on whether he agrees."

"It's not a loss for you anyway. If you agree, everyone will be happy. If you don't agree, you'll commit suicide!"

"But I can help you persuade Your Majesty from the side. To be honest, I also want Your Majesty to reuse Ye Qing!"

At this point, Xu Da smiled and said to himself: "That means reusing my good son-in-law!"

Xu Da's voice was not loud. He thought Wang Baobao couldn't hear him under the cover of the howling cold wind.

But he didn't know that Wang Baobao just vaguely heard the words "good son-in-law". Coupled with Xu Da's satisfied smile, Wang Baobao instantly felt that he had suffered a huge loss.

Wang Baobao quickly made a third condition: "Xu Shuai, I have one more condition!"

"If the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty doesn't marry his daughter, then let him marry Ye Qing. Either he will be my son-in-law or my brother-in-law. I will choose the best one for him."

When Xu Da heard this, even the cold wind on the plateau could not suppress the anger in his chest.

The next moment, Xu Da's knife was placed on Wang Baobao's shoulder: "Wang Baobao, Timur, don't go too far. My tolerance has limits!"

Faced with Xu Da's sudden change of expression, Wang Baobao not only did not get angry, but also suddenly showed a hint of a smile. Then he tilted his neck and tried his best to provide the most convenient angle for Xu Da to behead.

"You chop!"

"After you kill me, you will definitely not suffer any loss!"

Although Xu Da was very angry, he was not like Zhu Yuanzhang, who lost his mind once he got angry.

He knew that after killing Wang Baobao, not only would he suffer, but his brother the emperor would also suffer, and even the entire Ming Dynasty would suffer.

Wang Baobao's prestige among the grassland tribes is not comparable to that of the Lord of Beiyuan, who is equivalent to a mascot.

Although Wang Baobao was defeated in this battle, he did not abandon the city and flee, unlike the Lord of Beiyuan who fled after abandoning his wife and daughter. This is why Wang Baobao can always make a comeback!

In a sense, he Wang Baobao is the actual Lord of Beiyuan!
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to Wang Baobao's conditions and made Wang Baobao his deputy general, which was the best result for both public and private affairs.

Not only that, but it was also the best result for Ye Qing, his good son-in-law who he had unilaterally sealed.

It's just his third condition. For him, Xu Da, that would be a big loss!
Seeing Xu Da's expression of embarrassment, Wang Baobao naturally knew what he was trying to do. He smiled and took away Xu Da's knife, then put his arm around Xu Da's shoulder and said, "Xu Shuai, I know what you think. You can't be too greedy. "

"As long as Zhu Yuanzhang, no, as long as His Majesty the Emperor agrees to these three conditions, I will be a member of the Ming Dynasty in life and a ghost of the Ming Dynasty in death."

"Your daughter is the elder, and my sister or daughter is the younger. Doesn't it mean that we are related through Ye Qing?"

"When the time comes, I will be your lieutenant. I will definitely block the knife for you at the critical moment!"

"."

After a while, Xu Da also felt that this was the case.

Anyway, Wang Baobao is not the only one who has Ye Qing's ideas in mind. Aren't Li Wenzhong and the others also having Ye Qing's ideas in mind?
Even without this relationship, Li Wenzhong and the others are still his lieutenants, so they might as well use this relationship to recruit another lieutenant for themselves.

Moreover, the value of this lieutenant is much greater than them!

Thinking of this, Xu Da immediately put away his sword and said: "Next time, if you have something to say, please speak it carefully. The majestic King Qi has a ruffian face."

"However, this third condition is really difficult for Your Majesty."

"You also know that although Ye Qing is a genius, he is also a genius who doesn't pay much attention to greetings."

Wang Baobao immediately smiled and said: "I know, I had no intention of asking His Majesty to agree to the third condition."

As he said this, Wang Baobao changed his expression as if his plot had succeeded and said, "I just want you, Duke Xu Da of Wei State, to agree to my third condition."

Xu Da just frowned slightly, and then his eyes lit up: "I was fooled!"

The next moment, Wang Baobao's proud laughter resounded on both sides of the Orkhon River.

"Hahaha!"

"I won. I finally defeated Wei Guogong Xu Da!"

Xu Da looked at the back of the man standing by the river, laughing proudly. His mouth trembled with anger, and he wanted to rush over and kick him.

But then, he smiled with relief, because he also won!

Under the winter sun,

Xu Da and Wang Baobao squatted on the edge of the Orkhon River and began to discuss actively.

The first issue is how to make Zhu Yuanzhang agree to Wang Baobao's second condition as much as possible after arriving in the capital!

The second topic is how to trick Ye Qing into accepting their "wives and concubines arrangement" after the class teacher returned to the court and passed through Yanmen!
After discussing these two issues, the two rode towards Helin City.

At the same time, Xu Da asked: "Do you have the imperial seal in your hand?"

"If you hand over the Imperial Seal, your Majesty's chances of agreeing to your second condition will be much greater."

Wang Baobao also frowned and said: "To tell you the truth, I have been looking for the imperial seal in Helin these years, but I have never found it."

"Perhaps, as the rumors say, after Boyan obtained the imperial seal, he polished it together with other seals, and then distributed them to other princes and ministers for private seals!"

"A bunch of idiots deserve to lose their country!"

Xu Da disagreed after hearing this. He smiled lightly and said: "They are indeed a group of idiots, but they are not that stupid. This so-called legend must be the smoke released by Yuan Ting in order to occupy the imperial seal forever. ."

Having said this, Xu Da then thought of the letter Ye Qing gave him.

After returning to the commander's tent, Xu Da opened the 'Mirror Bag Tip' that Ye Qing wrote to him directly in front of Wang Baobao.

Wang Baobao took the envelope, looked at the letter on the cover and read: "If you can't find the jade seal passed down to the country, why don't you open this envelope again? It's a bit like Zhuge Kongming's ingenious plan!"

After Xu Da read the letter, his eyes immediately brightened, and he shouted hurriedly: "Someone, go to Helin City Palace and tear down the statue of Genghis Khan!"

Wang Baobao was stunned after hearing this, and then picked up the letter Xu Da put on the table and read it carefully.

"If you can't find the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, it can be dismantled into the base of the statue of Gis Khan, and the Jade Seal of the Kingdom will most likely be buried underneath."

"The Mongolian people were influenced by our architectural culture and may have taken away the jade seal passed down from the country and placed it under the statue of their Taizu in their prosperous place in order to suppress our Chinese national destiny."

"Of course, this is just my personal opinion and I cannot guarantee it!"

"."

an hour later,
The statue of Genghis Khan was overturned. After Xu Da's soldiers dug three meters of earth, they found an exquisite wooden box.

"Xu Shuai, I saw a wooden box."

After the box surrounded by wolf totems was opened, there was another gold box inside. After the soldiers opened the gold box with great effort, there was a wooden box inside.

Looking at the box within a box, I actually already know what is inside.

Finally, Xu Da opened the yellow cloth himself!
under the sun,

A jade seal with a radius of four inches, with five dragons on it and eight seal characters engraved on the front, "Ordered by Heaven, Longevity and Longevity", was presented in front of everyone.

Xu Da looked at the golden corner and said excitedly: "At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang, a relative, usurped power and his son Liu Ying was young. The jade seal was hidden in the Empress Dowager's house in Changle Palace."

"Wang Mang sent his cousin Wang Shun to ask for it. The Queen Mother was angry and threw it, breaking one corner of it. Wang Mang ordered the craftsmen to repair it with gold!"

After Xu Da subconsciously memorized a piece of historical data, he held up the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo, raised his head and said to the soldiers: "Soldiers, Jade Seal of Chuan Guo, go home!"

"We avenge our past shame and a century-old shame!"

"."

In an instant, the prosperous places of Meng Yuan and Lincheng were filled with the excited carnival sounds of Han soldiers.

Wang Baobao looked at the statue of Genghis Khan lying on the ground and looked at the imperial seal in Xu Da's hand, with a hint of disappointment on his face.

But at this moment, while Xu Da was putting away the imperial seal, he loudly ordered: "Someone, help up the statue of Genghis Khan."

Several soldiers who were about to smash the statue were puzzled: "Shuai Xu, why is this?"

Xu Da just looked at it deeply and said: "If it is smashed, will it cease to exist?"

"Let him stand here, let him take a good look, and let him witness how we create magnificent history for future generations!"

"Instruct the three armies to return to the court at midnight tomorrow!"

Wang Baobao looked at the statue of Genghis Khan that had been re-erected and Xu Da's back, and then he truly admitted defeat from the bottom of his heart.

Early the next morning, Nai'er Buhua stayed behind with He Lin, while Wang Baobao followed Xu Da and returned to the court.

Nearly a month later, Xu Da and his party came to Yanmen County again.

The so-called return to the capital does not mean that all 20 troops march to the capital, but that while marching to the capital, soldiers drawn from various places are brought back from the highest place alive.

After the commander-in-chief returns to the court and the emperor rewards him based on his merits, the corresponding rewards will be distributed to the local government.

In fact, the people who really returned to the capital were the coach and the generals, as well as the generals' personal soldiers selected from the Beijing army.

At the same time that Xu Da and others went to the county government, he also activated post soldiers to send the good news back to the capital at an accelerated speed of [-] miles.

His victory report was composed of Mingzhuo and Secret Zou. Mingzhuo was something Xu Da thought would make Zhu Yuanzhang and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty happy, while Mingzhuo was just the opposite.

At the gate of the county government office, Xu Da did not see Ye Qing's figure. He only saw the county magistrate Wu Yong waiting here.Xu Da asked Wu Yongdao: "Didn't someone tell you, Mr. Ye, that we will be there soon?"

"Where are you, Mr. Ye?"

Wu Yong smiled and replied: "Master Ye said, if Xu Shuai comes to see you, please go in by yourselves. He is busy in the tax hall now!"

When Xu Da heard that he was busy in the tax hall, he smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

The local tax department is very busy at the end of the year, and only the imperial household department is busy at the beginning of the spring. This is a great thing.

Xu Da walked in unceremoniously and said loudly: "Let him be busy and don't delay the work at hand because of us. I know his family very well."

Not only Xu Da is very familiar with them, but Li Wenzhong and the others are also very familiar with him.

It wasn't until sunset that Ye Qing returned to his mansion.

He went straight to the dining room and saw old acquaintances who had become old friends at first sight, sitting in front of the big round table waiting for him. When he didn't arrive, no one moved their chopsticks.

Seeing this scene, Ye Qing was also very pleased.

This was just like when he met Cheng Yaojin and the others in the Tang Dynasty. The generals did not have so many twists and turns. Apart from talking about formal etiquette in the court, they only talked about friendship in private.

As long as you recognize this person, you will treat them as friends regardless of their status.

But Ye Qing still deliberately lied and said: "I am really flattered to have Duke Wei, Duke Cao, and all the generals wait for me to have dinner!"

"When your class teacher returns to the court, if you are willing to stay here, you are already giving Xiaguan face."

Xu Da, Li Wenzhong and others naturally knew that Ye Qing did it on purpose, so they just rolled their eyes at Ye Qing and laughed.

Tang He said seriously: "Your official uniform is eye-catching. Take off your official uniform immediately. If you take off the official uniform again, it will be annoying to look at you."

Ye Qing would definitely satisfy this request.

But at the same time, he also thought to himself: "Fortunately, you didn't show off, otherwise you would have been kicked out."

After a while, Ye Qing put on his regular clothes and sat next to Xu Da again.

But as soon as Ye Qing sat down, he focused his attention on the stranger opposite.

Although Ye Qing didn't recognize this tall middle-aged man, he could tell that this man had an aura of energy all over his body, especially his eyes that looked like an eagle or a wolf. He was not an ordinary person at first glance.

"Unexpected!"

"Master Ye, who defeated me, is so handsome!"

When Ye Qing heard this, he immediately reacted. No wonder it looked unusual. It turned out that Wang Baobao had followed him back.

Looking at Wang Baobao in front of him, Ye Qing was really surprised.

Because according to history, Wang Baobao never surrendered to the Ming Dynasty in his life, which became a big regret in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

But then I thought about it, this was not the only time that some personnel results were changed because of his time travel.

It was just the first time he met him in Daming after coming to Daming!

Ye Qing thought that because Xu Da stayed here specifically, he must have not only surrendered Wang Baobao, but also found the imperial seal.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing looked at Wang Baobao and said, "We are here as guests. Let's eat and drink well and play in the evening."

With that said, he extended his hand to Xu Da and said, "Bring the imperial seal to me for a look."

After hearing such words, Xu Da and others just looked at each other and nodded again with satisfaction.

This Ye Qing is indeed a genius, he can strategize in every aspect, this 'good son-in-law' must compete!

After Ye Qing got the Imperial Seal, he just took a casual look at it and knew immediately that it was genuine.

When he was in the Han Dynasty, he saw from a distance the jade seal with no missing corners.

When he was in the Tang Dynasty, he followed Li Jing to conquer the Eastern Turks, and then escorted Empress Xiao and Emperor Yang Zhengdao of the Sui Dynasty back to the court. This golden and complementary imperial seal was on his body!
When he thought of Queen Xiao, he now had to say, 'She looks really worthy of the name Xiao Meiniang'!
In the eyes of Xu Da and others, Ye Qing just glanced at him casually, then weighed his weight and said, "It'll be good if you come back."

As soon as he finished speaking, he handed it over to Xu Da decisively without any nostalgia.

But when he looked at the imperial seal, although it was very casual, there was also an obvious look of reminiscence.

But they couldn't figure out for a while why Ye Qing's look of reminiscence came about.

"Don't stay still!"

"Everyone has good food and drink. I will give you good arrangements for the evening!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qing started eating and drinking alone.

The Imperial Seal has returned home, and the last famous general in the grassland has also surrendered. This is already a perfect ending for Ye Qing!
But just when Ye Qing was thinking about this, Wang Baobao, who had finished drinking, started to talk to him.

The series of words of praise were so eloquent that Ye Qing had to praise him for not having learned Chinese studies from the Central Plains in vain.

"Master Ye, do you know why I surrendered?"

When Ye Qing heard this sentence, he also became a little curious.

He also really wanted to know what inspired the King of Qi of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who refused to surrender in history.

Ye Qing just said with great interest: "Tell me and listen!"

Wang Baobao, who was already blushing from drinking, said seriously and seriously: "Because of you, Mr. Ye!"

"I am going to Yingtian with Xu Shuai this time because I want to tell His Majesty the Emperor face to face that if he re-appoints you Ye Qing, I will swear allegiance to the death. But if he doesn't re-appoint you, I will commit suicide on the spot!"

In everyone's eyes, Ye Qing's hand holding the wine glass seemed to have suddenly frozen. It could also be said that for a moment, his entire body turned into a statue.

But it only happened for a moment, and then Ye Qing returned to normal, because Wang Baobao was not the only enemy he defeated.

The reason why he was instantly petrified was because Wang Baobao was doing him a disservice.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing also secretly complained in his heart: "I also want to take the regret medicine. I should have killed him outside the customs."

But after thinking about it, Ye Qing felt that this was really not a disservice!

As the saying goes, everything must be reversed when it reaches its extreme. This is tantamount to telling Zhu Yuanzhang, "I am not surrendering to you, I am surrendering to Master Ye." This behavior can completely strengthen Zhu Yuanzhang's determination to kill Ye Qing!

After realizing this, Ye Qing immediately decided to repay this great benefactor.

After Ye Qing clinked glasses with Wang Baobao, he said with a smile: "Old Wang, how wonderful it was earlier!"

"You think I want to fight with you. I have always believed that one day, we will be able to realize the real Hanmeng family!"

"Actually, I have already prepared a way for you to make money."

With that said, Ye Qing asked someone to bring some samples of the newly made woolen clothes and wool threads.

Ye Qing introduced: "As long as we have friendly trade, we will buy a large amount of wool that you throw away as waste. When you have money, you can buy the tea bricks, salt and other items you need."

"And we use wool to make woolen clothes, which can be sold to your tribal nobles and the wealthy people in our Central Plains region."

"And this wool thread can be sold cheaply to your herdsmen and our ordinary people in the Central Plains."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qing asked the maids and male servants to put on woolen sweaters of different styles, and also had people perform knitting performances on the spot.

At the same time, Ye Qing continued to introduce: "Look at how you are wearing beautiful furs, and then look at how they are wearing a woolen sweater. You can see for yourself whether this woolen sweater looks good or not, and whether it is warm or not. "

Under the dual effects of on-site display and on-site commentary, not only Wang Baobao, but also Xu Da and others also became keenly interested in it.

They all put on woolen clothes and felt it firsthand and touched the texture.

"Xu Shuai, this dress is good. It not only fits your body but is also very warm."

"Master Ye really knows how to make money. When the wool they treat as trash comes to you, you will turn it into treasure!"

"The finished woolen sweaters are made with fine workmanship and uniform texture, so they are naturally sold at a high price to rich people, while the individual woolen yarns are sold cheaply to ordinary people so that they can knit their own sweaters, which saves the cost of manufacturing ready-made garments. It is indeed beneficial to the people and allows ordinary people to also Being able to wear a warm sweater.”

"They say there is no businessman without treachery, but the Lord Ye in front of us is actually a chivalrous official and businessman!"

"In my opinion, His Majesty the Emperor is jealous of this technology!"

"."

Listening to this series of words of praise, Ye Qing only felt that this was the benefit of mastering advanced technology.

If he continues to stay here, he can also buy beef and mutton jerky, as well as cow and goat milk powder, and even horse milk powder.

But he is really tired of the ancient life and doesn't want to stay here any longer!

But it doesn't matter. With just this woolen coat and wool thread, he can be considered as gathering the wool of the grassland, and he has done something for this era that is worthy of his little conscience.

Early the next morning, Ye Qing sent them out of the south gate of Yanmen County.

I still watched them until they disappeared on the official road. As I said before, I only need to look at them once.

From Ye Qing's point of view, nothing unexpected would happen when he returns home.

First there was 'Every man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having the jade', then there was 'surprise tax', and now there is 'the surrender was because of Ye Qing, not because of Zhu Yuanzhang', it was simply a three-pronged approach.

If Zhu Yuanzhang didn't kill him, Ye Qing would have no choice but to completely admit defeat.

But he absolutely believed that this decisive and decisive Emperor Hongwu would never be so weak!

But he didn't know that Xu Da and Wang Baobao had already set their sights on him.

The reason why they didn't mention Ye Qing as their son-in-law this time was just because they knew that Ye Qing was difficult to deal with and they had to get to know him well before they could take action.

When is it considered mature?
Definitely not a one-on-one relationship in Yanmen County, but after trying his best to get Ye Qing to the capital!

Of course, in order to achieve the goal of becoming Ye Qing's father-in-law, he still had to pass Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang had to agree to Wang Baobao's second condition.

Xu Da, who was riding a horse, thought of this and looked in the direction of Yingtian Mansion, his eyes full of expectation.

He hoped that his explicit and secret plays would be effective, and he even hoped that Empress Ma would happen to be present when Zhu Yuanzhang watched the secret plays.

If Queen Ma is present, the chance of Zhu Yuanzhang agreeing to the second condition will be much greater.

Seven days later in the afternoon, Xu Da's two memorials, with the words "Victory Report" and "Military Secret" written on the cover respectively, arrived in the hands of Hu Weiyong at the same time.

Hu Weiyong knew what the military secrets meant, which meant people who would pass by him. He could only forward them to His Majesty the Emperor on his behalf, and he, the right minister of the Zhongshu, could not read them.

He definitely wanted to see it, but there should be Xu Da's special mark on the wax seal. If he removed it, he would not be able to return it.

There is no other way but to put the secret note aside for the time being, and then carefully read the content of the victory report.

"Capture Hala and Forest, seize countless treasures, and find the jade seal passed down to the country?"

Seeing this key word, Hu Weiyong smiled subconsciously. As a Han family man, this happy reaction really came from the bottom of his heart.

He quickly ran to the Zhongshu Provincial Hall and said to all the officials: "Everyone, our Prime Minister Wu, Duke Xu Da of the State of Wei, led our Ming Dynasty soldiers to conquer Hara and Forest, and captured the Great Yuan gold seal and countless treasures. And found the jade seal that passed down the country."

"Tomorrow morning, let's congratulate His Majesty and the Ming Dynasty together!"

Seeing the cheering scene in front of him, Hu Weiyong suddenly frowned slightly and worried about his outfit.

Because he knew that Ye Qing, who treated Huaixi nobles as nothing, had made great achievements again.

But then he became very gregarious and happy again.

Again, in the coming spring, he just needs to pay special attention to Yanmen County’s tax matters!
Early the next morning,
Hu Weiyong was in the morning court and read loudly the victory report written by Xu Da himself, which made Zhu Yuanzhang look happy.

The victory report clearly stated that finding the national jade seal was all due to Ye Qing's 'miracle bag trick'!
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew about this, and once again had a good impression of Ye Qing, which even offset his many crimes of disrespect.

For a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was also looking forward to the day when he could meet Ye Qing here, but he still said that he would wait until the next spring to pay taxes!
"Where is the Minister of Rites?"

The Minister of Rites immediately came out and said: "I am here!"

"Calculate the day when Wei Guogong returns to the court. All the court officials above the fifth rank will wear formal attire. They will all go out of the city with us and greet him outside Jinchuan Gate."

Before the Minister of Rites could reply, Kong Kebiao said first, "Your Majesty, I have a message to report."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt disgusted when he looked at this man. He just hoped that this man would not be too disturbing to the scenery. If he was too disturbing to the scenery, he would not even give Confucius the face.

"Prelude!"

Kong Kebiao held the jade wat in his arms and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the army has returned in triumph, and rewards will be given based on merit. Such a great gift may breed the arrogance of the warriors."

Zhu Yuanzhang just raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "We are just greeting our general and our good brothers who have fought for us through life and death. How can we be so poor and refined?"

"This matter has been settled. Don't say any more and withdraw from the court!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up decisively and walked away from his special passage.

In the court hall, the military attachés also rolled their sleeves away decisively after giving Kong Kebiao a blank look.

As for Hu Weiyong, he sighed helplessly and went to Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial study.

Inside the Royal Study Room,
Hu Weiyong knelt on the ground and presented Xu Da's military secrets with both hands.

At the same time that Zhu Yuanzhang took over the secret note, Hu Weiyong did not forget to take a sneak glance. He hoped that Zhu Yuanzhang would open it in front of him so that he could also see what was written.

But after Zhu Yuanzhang just checked some wax seal marks, he looked at Hu Weiyong and said with a smile: "Weiyong, you should go back to Zhongshu Province earlier and make arrangements for the Ministry of Rites!"

"We have found the Jade Seal of the Kingdom. This welcome gift cannot be missed. We are not only welcoming our general, we are also welcoming the Jade Seal of the Kingdom!"

"In addition, arrange a trip to Xi'an Mansion for us as soon as possible. We want to bring the imperial seal to pay homage to the First Emperor!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was quite gentle, but his brows were full of solemnity.

Hu Weiyong knew that neither of these two things could be compromised, especially paying homage to the First Emperor, which was the top priority!

But it was also obvious that Zhu Yuanzhang was issuing an order to expel the guest, clearly not wanting him to know the contents of the secret message.

Hu Weiyong knew that he had no choice but to respectfully bow out.

After Zhu Yuanzhang confirmed that Hu Weiyong had left, he carefully opened the wax seal and then read the contents of the letter carefully.

The content of the letter is not much, just a few lines on a piece of paper.

But it was these few lines that made Zhu Yuanzhang burst into thunderous rage.

The eunuch who was waiting outside the door was once again scared out of his whisk whisk. He still remembered that the last time he was scared out of his whisk whisk was when Ye Qing, the magistrate of Yanmen County, presented his self-evaluation memorial.

"Could it be,"

"Is it because of Mr. Ye again?"

Just when the eunuch Chang Shi was thinking about that, the letter and memorial were crushed into a pile and smashed out, just passing him by.

"He's really a fucking amazing man in the world. He's so amazing that even I can't believe it. How dare he!"

"What a bullshit grassland general, what a bullshit genius Ye Qing, I don't care about any of them!"

"I'll let you two go to hell as companions!"

"."

The eunuch Chang Shi closed his eyes decisively when he heard the heavy breathing of an ox behind him.

He only hoped that Zhu Yuanzhang would never look for him at this time.

"Come on,"

“Show off ‘Yingtian Industrial Park’!”

In the days since Zhu Yuanzhang came back, he has been busy dealing with government affairs. He even had to randomly check the files of memorials that Zhu Biao had previously approved, for fear that something might go wrong.

So much so that he suddenly forgot that he had borrowed money from the treasury to imitate Ye Qing's Yingtian Industrial Park.

It was only now that he was so angry that he thought of his business.

He wanted to see how good his industrial park was, and even more, he wanted to prove that even without Ye Qing, he was still doing well!
