The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 311 Mr. Ye actually helped Zhu Yunwen a lot in advance. Zhu Yuanzhang won the first place. Please choose, Your Majesty the Emperor!

In the huge main cabin classroom,
The generals of the Ningbo Eight Guards were divided into eight teams, each actively discussing.

The two auditors, however, walked directly to the podium, regarded the Yingtian Imperial City defense map drawn by Ye Qing as a strategic sandbox, and directly began to conduct offensive and defensive deductions.

Outside the small window at the back door of the cabin, Ye Qing looked at this scene and suddenly had an illusion.

It is said that all the wars that will go down in history took place in the gaps between the command room maps.

The meaning of this sentence refers to the killing on the battlefield, which is carried out according to the deductions made by the generals of both sides on the sand table map.

Ye Qing looked at the gestures of the two men and felt as if he was witnessing a game between the attacker and the defender.

In other words, he saw a hint of general aura that was not obvious in the two people who were deducing seriously!

But such aura and intuition disappeared in just an instant!
Of course, that's not his concern.

He just found it strange that he was obviously a fan of Zhu Yuanzhang, so why did he suddenly do such stupid things?
Soon, it was time before dinner.

After an oral exam, the offensive and defensive tactics of this Guo duo team were recognized as No. 1.

Ye Qing really didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit this very obvious answer.

"As expected, he is indeed the General Guo of the Yanmen Defense War. He is really powerful!"

"Brother Mao is really awesome at capturing the enemy chieftain single-handedly. Are you interested in serving in our army?"

"Old Wang, if you want to poach someone, go home and poach someone next door to you. Don't poach someone here. Their employer is still here!"

"Mr. Guo, what's the point of doing business? No matter how rich you are, you are a humble person. Are you interested in serving in our army?"

"."

In Ye Qing's eyes, Mr. Guo and Mao Daxia became famous in the first battle and immediately gained everyone's recognition.

Looking at the two people who were smiling and declining, Ye Qing felt a little frustrated.

Because the development of things has gone in a direction that he hates!
Thinking of this, Ye Qing said directly and seriously: "This Master Guo is not an ordinary lowly businessman. He is a lowly businessman who relied on his mother-in-law to become a relative of the emperor!"

"Even if he is a cheap businessman, he is still a person with a bit of imperial aura, so don't even think about it."

"The last group is the eight generals of Ninghai County Garrison and Ninghai Guard. Each of them will receive two secret herrings. Let's go and receive the reward!"

"The rest of us, after docking, go to the two flower boats next to us to eat wine and watch the show!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone became uneasy.

The eight generals of Ninghaiwei went to accept the reward with mournful faces. Although the other generals did not want to drink the flower wine that could only be viewed from a distance and not played with, in comparison, it was still much more fragrant than the secreted herring.

Zhu Yuanzhang had never been interested in Japanese women and regarded them as common food. As long as he didn't eat dense herring, he would eat anything.

He just stared at Ye Qing's back and wrote down the crime of 'insulting the emperor without knowing it'.

The only person who has the highest expectations for tonight’s flower wine is Mao Xiang, who has never tasted it before!
Time flies, and the days of traveling ashore in Suzhou and Hangzhou, taking classes on the water, and drinking flower wine in the evening are quickly coming to an end.

It was another beautiful day with the setting sun hanging over the sea and sky, and the generals were taking their final written examinations.

Written test topic: If the naval battle at the Baijiangkou of the Tang Dynasty was staged in the Ming Dynasty and turned into a battle of the Gulf, the Japanese would still have ten troops and ours would be one. According to the current armament level of the Ming navy, how could we achieve greater success than the naval battle at the Baijiangkou of the Tang Dynasty? Big result?

Just after Ye Qing wrote such a written test topic on the blackboard, the generals began to write their 'essays'.

Ye Qing looked at Mr. Guo and Mao Daxia who were working hard on their papers. The more he looked at them, the more strange and disgusting they became.

These two people who were supposed to hate him to death became even more disgusted the more they acted as good students.

Just as night fell, they both stood up at the same time and said: "Master Ye, I (we) have finished writing."

But at the same time, Mao Xiang retracted his hand and said: "My master will finish writing first."

Ye Qing casually took the paper that was full of words and signed by Guo Rui. However, at first glance, the writing was really bad.

Immediately afterwards, he took the paper from Mao Xiang and signed it as 'Mao Qiang'. The handwriting was still very bad, but it was still better than his master's writing.

Looking at Mao Qiang in front of him, Ye Qing also nodded with satisfaction.

Again, Ye Qing is definitely not a loyal minister, but that doesn't stop him from liking loyal people.

Even the order of handing in papers must be modest and the master's face must be considered. How can such a person not be lovable?
Ye Qing sat down again and carefully reviewed their papers.

In the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang, the more Ye Qing looked at them seriously, the brighter they became.

Because he found that the two veterans who had only followed Zhu Yuanzhang were actually much better at general thinking than the Ningbo garrison generals present.

When he put down the paper and looked at the two people in front of him again, his mentality and vision were different.

He couldn't help but think again, why did these two actual part-time imperial envoys suddenly become three good students?

Finally, he figured it out!

The two people in front of me look a bit like Gou Jian, the king of Yue.

In order to annex the Kingdom of Wu, King Gou Jian of Yue endured humiliation and hardship, worked hard and endured hardships, and finally realized his ideal.

The two of them probably still thought that they might have a conspiracy. They just wanted to do their best to learn their own things, and then tell Zhu Yuanzhang so that he would be prepared.

Or they would not tell Zhu Yuanzhang, and just regard themselves as Zhu Yuanzhang's back-up man.

If one day he, Ye Qing, rebels, they can be ordered to defend the city in times of danger.

No matter what, it is enough to prove their loyalty to Zhu Yuanzhang!
Thinking of this, Ye Qing also smiled with great relief.

They told Zhu Yuanzhang that of course it was fine, and that his talent in naval warfare could be passed on, and he had achieved the goal of being sentenced to death by Zhu Yuanzhang.

It doesn't matter if they don't tell Zhu Yuanzhang, as long as his talent for naval warfare can take root better in this era.

Even if he can't die this time, he still has 'resist the order when it comes' and the ultimate death-seeking move!
It's just a matter of hanging out here for a few more days, it doesn't matter!

Soon, the generals handed in their papers one by one, and Ye Qing quickly reviewed them on the spot!

The answer was just as Ye Qing expected. Mr. Guo, who seemed to have been reborn, became the well-deserved No. 1.

Time has come again when the moon rises over the sea,
The classroom in the main ship of the center has once again become the main place for drinking flower wine.

Although the level of luxury is not as high as in Yanmen County, drinking flower wine on a boat at the harbor pier is quite unique.

The key is that the Japanese girls who perform around the generals can also find the best stuff.

After finishing the food and drinks and watching the show, it was time for Ye Qing to fulfill his promise.

The generals had watched the performance for several nights, which they could only watch from a distance but not play with. They were as suffocated as an active volcano that had not erupted for thousands of years.

"I'm No.3, this girl is pretty good!"

"It's a pity that they are not No. 2 and No. [-]. These two Japanese girls are the ones who make me feel like I am on the battlefield with their smiles and screams!"

"."

Ye Qing walked to the front desk and looked at Master Guo, the No. 1 person in this issue's 'Naval War Training Course', and Mrs. Guo sitting next to him, with a smirk on his lips.

Ye Qing said loudly: "I am as good as my word. No. 1 Guo Rui has won two beautiful Japanese women with no combat experience."

"You guys, sit over there quickly!"

Amid everyone's envious gazes, two Japanese girls who made people want to play with each other rushed directly towards Zhu Yuanzhang.

But at the same time, Queen Ma showed enough dignity and moved a seat to make room for them.

But it was this kind of behavior that made Zhu Yuanzhang extremely uncomfortable!
He cursed Ye Qing secretly in his mind, feeling that this person was so bad that pus was leaking from the soles of his feet.

He quickly moved to the side of Queen Ma and whispered: "Sister, you don't have to be like this. Regardless of whether they have combat experience or not, we treat Japanese women like dirt."

Immediately afterwards, two more beautiful Japanese women with no combat experience sat down next to Mao Xiang.

In Mao Xiang's view, although Japanese people are annoying, Japanese girls are really not that annoying.When it comes to making people burst into glory, Japanese girls are not ordinary strong!
Soon, Ye Qing distributed all the prizes according to ranking!

The last four also like to mention a Japanese girl who is over fifty years old and makes people feel uncomfortable just looking at her!

Of course, they wouldn't force it if they could do something at night. The main reason was that they were afraid that if things got too big, the four generals would be humiliated and jump into the sea to commit suicide!
"Cough cough!"

Just when the last four generals cried for help, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up immediately.

He faced Ye Qing directly and said, "Master Ye, we can do whatever we want with our prize, right?"

"Of course!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said directly and generously: "We feel that those four are too young to withstand the torture of our Ming soldiers. We want to give our four prizes to the last four generals."

"After all, they are the generals of Ningbo Mansion, not the two of us!"

"After all, the two of us hold the quota. If it weren't for the two of us, they would have enough."

"Actually, the four of them have worked very hard. We all see it, so let's just leave it at that!"

After hearing this, Ye Qing also felt that this was the case.

In fact, everyone works hard, but not everyone is good at talent.

Once upon a time, he was one or two from the bottom, so he really shouldn't make it difficult for his 'former self'.

Ye Qing nodded and said: "Okay, just listen to No. 1's advice!"

"Tonight, you can go back to Fanghai to fight and kill the Japanese. We will set off back to Ningbo tomorrow morning!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qing left the battlefield that was about to be engulfed in flames of war.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang also dragged Mao Xiang away reluctantly.

As he dragged Mao Xiang away, he said in a tone of hatred: "Have you never seen a woman?"

"Are you so useless?"

"Your wife is waiting at home, you have to be worthy of her!"

Mao Xiang just nodded with a smile and said, "That's what I taught you."

At the same time, he cursed angrily in his heart: "If I had a choice, I would rather trade with Jiang Yu and follow His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Fucking around with you, a worthless emperor, I won't be able to eat what I should eat, and I won't miss out on what I shouldn't!"

"."

The next afternoon, they returned to Ningbo Pier.

After a few days of getting along with each other, the generals stationed in Ningbo Prefecture were as impressed by Ye Qing's military talents as the generals in Yanmen County.

Although they didn't say it, they already regarded Ye Qing as their 'admiral'.

After all, Ye Qing not only entertained them, he was also their half-master!

The next morning,

At the gate of the southern city of Ningbo, Ye Qing sent 'Master Guo' and the others here just like he did in Yanmen County.

But it is different from the time in Yanmen County. This time he is not planning to capture Mr. Guo's young men. It can also be said that it is not yet time to capture his young men.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing immediately threw this idea away.

He didn't want to have another chance to catch Mr. Guo's young man. He was in a hurry to go home!
"Sorry for delivery!"

"I guarantee that if you invest 100 million yuan, you will definitely become the biggest winner among investors."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qing decisively headed back home.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the handsome figure walking away, and his eyes immediately became profound.

"Ye Qing!"

"Do you know why we suddenly became active and why we didn't kill you after we got ashore?"

"Because we were persuaded by the girl!"

"No, it should be said that I was convinced by you through our girl!"

"It's definitely not due to your secret herring. Without your heartfelt words, even if you force us to eat ten kilograms of secret herring, we wouldn't be able to discuss how to attack ourselves!"

"But let me tell you one thing, your dense herring is really disgusting."

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt nauseated again.

After he covered his mouth, he quickly called Mao Xiang and the others to leave the place of trouble.

If he wants to be completely cured of his herring sequelae, he must stay away from this annoying Master Ye!
A month later,

All the key technical talents that Ye Qing transferred from Yanmen County have arrived in Ningbo City.

As soon as these people arrived, they were appointed to important positions such as 'factory directors' of major factories.

Of course, they have to start by supervising the construction of factories!

Along with this, there are not enough technical backbones in agriculture and animal husbandry, as well as batches of new rice seeds.

Soon, the Ningbo Rice Seed Experimental Base will be officially opened for business. Based on new rice seeds with a yield of more than 600 kilograms per mu, they will launch an attack on the goal of producing a thousand kilograms per mu.

Of course, the existing rice seeds with a yield of more than 600 kilograms per mu still need to be promoted and sown in Ningbo Prefecture's arable land.

After all, before the new rice seed with a yield of 600 kilograms per mu comes out, this new rice seed with a yield of more than [-] kilograms per mu is currently the best rice seed in the world.

But if you want to achieve this goal, you must first do something good that Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen did in advance.

Ye Qing believed that Zhu Yunwen's great deed was a major financial reform called "limiting the amount of tax-free land owned by Buddhist temples"!

Because Zhu Yuanzhang was once a monk, he loved Buddhist temples so much that these monks relied on this relationship to seize a large amount of fertile fields and fertile soil, and essentially became powerful and wealthy people. Landlord!
Not only did these monks enjoy the right to be exempted from land taxes and corvee, they even imposed illegal burdens on the local people.

They occupied people's land and forced them to work for them. During the Jianwen period, they had aroused considerable public resentment.

This situation can be said to be particularly serious in the Jiangnan area where Ye Qing is currently located.

Although it is now the seventh year of Hongwu, it is not as serious as the Jianwen period, but after six or seven years of operation, the temples in various parts of the Yangtze River have become veritable big landlords.

If they don't let them spit out the land, the cause of promoting new rice seeds will not be successful!
In the study room of the prefect’s office,
Ye Qing thought of this and immediately had an idea.

Isn't this a ready-made plan that not only does not harm the country and the people, but also benefits the country and the people, and is even more likely to anger Zhu Yuanzhang?
The Buddhist temple was Zhu Yuanzhang's benefactor, and he loved the Buddhist temple to repay his kindness!

Then Ye Qing asked the Buddhist temple to vomit out all the land. Wasn't he bullying his Zhu Yuanzhang's benefactor and slapping him in Zhu Yuanzhang's face?

Thinking of this, Ye Qing immediately decided to slap Zhu Yuanzhang in the face until everyone knew about it!
"Come on,"

"Assemble the post soldiers, I want to report to your majesty urgently!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qing immediately spread out a standard blank memorandum, picked up the brush and began to write smoothly.

He can guarantee that after Zhu Yuanzhang read this memorial, he had only two choices.

The first choice is to give death to him, a sycophant who dares to threaten the emperor without knowing the heights of heaven and earth!
The second option is to let Ye Qing continue to be the prefect of Ningbo, but he must slap himself in the face in front of everyone in the world!

After the post soldiers arrived, Ye Qing had already wax-sealed his treasonous memorial.

After Ye Qing watched the post soldiers go away, the corner of his mouth once again raised an interesting smile.

"Your Majesty, please choose!".
　Please follow up with the support of the officials, and please support the recommendation ticket and monthly ticket, thank you!
