The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 321: Fire prevention, theft prevention, and emperor protection, discussing the reasons why Mr. Ye is single, Zhu Yuanzhang was splashed with water by the marshal!

Before Xu Da could think about it further, Zhu Yuanzhang focused on Xu Da.

"Tiande,"

"If you don't take action yet, how long will it take for you to wait? In this march and war, the most important thing is the speed of the soldiers, isn't it?"

With that said, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the remaining half plate of roast goose in front of him, and said with a smile again: "Look at you, you haven't taken action yet, and Wang Baobao has taken half of the opportunity."

"Fortunately, Wang Baobao is conscientious, so I have only one goose leg left for you."

Xu Da just raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then continued: "If Your Majesty doesn't say anything, I won't feel at ease while eating. It's better for Your Majesty to make it clear before eating!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, pointed at Xu Da and said, "Do you think we still have half a dragon's beard on our body?"

"This is in our own home. You ask His Majesty to see more people, call him brother, call him Chongba brother!"

Xu Da looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's cheeky smile as when he was a child. As long as he smiles like this, he will be up to no good.

Especially the word "Chong Bago", which can cost you half your life.

Xu Da shook his head and said: "No, no, no, even though you are wearing regular clothes, you are already the emperor. Besides, this is my home."

"Of course, the whole world is not the land of kings, and that's the case."

With that said, Xu Da stood up, poured Zhu Yuanzhang a glass of wine himself and said, "Your Majesty, what kind of big difficulty have you encountered that you need me to deal with?"

"We all grew up together, so stop beating around the bush here and just say what you have to say!"

"Even if you want the moon in the sky, can I go to the well and fish it out for you?"

"Don't say such nonsense. Even if you want me to die, I won't even frown. Not to mention that if you want me to die, I have to die. Just because you have always been my Chongba brother, I will die for you. !”

"When it comes to this, just say it!"

"After that, I can eat roast goose with peace of mind!"

Having said this, Xu Da picked up his chopsticks and smashed them hard on Wang Baobao's stretched out chopsticks.

This man had already chewed one goose leg unconsciously, and now he wanted to extend his sinful hand to another goose leg?
Zhu Yuanzhang was quite satisfied when he saw this scene.

Zhu Yuanzhang is like this. The more people are willing to die for him, the more he wants them to have an easy time. The more people are unwilling to die for him, the more he wants them to have a hard time.

He never thought about wanting Xu Da to die. What he was going to say next would not only cut off Xu Da's considerable wealth, but also require him to take the lead and help cut off the wealth of the scholar-bureaucrats all over the world.

But before that, he discovered that Xu Da and Wang Baobao's daughters were both very good.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Xu Da: "These three girls in our family are almost old enough to get married. How about we sell you another son?"

When Xu Da heard this, he immediately turned the roast goose plate in one direction, so that the half of the roast goose was facing Wang Baobao on the opposite side.

He knew something was going to happen, so he immediately said: "My eldest girl has been sold to your old Zhu family, and my second girl has also been targeted by your old Zhu family. I might as well sell my fourth girl too!"

"But these three girls must not be sold."

"Your Majesty, there is no limit to what you can do. This is the eternal truth. We have to keep a daughter and let her find someone to marry!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think much and just nodded helplessly.

The Xu family's daughters include two talented girls, Xu Miaoyun and Xu Miaojin. His family has already occupied one of them, and also gave away two less talented ones, but they are pretty good.

It is indeed impossible to kill them all!

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Wang Baobao in the direction that the goose leg was pointing.

He continued to smile and said: "Wang Aiqing, why is your daughter called Mei Duo? Mei Duolamu, right?"

"Meiduolamu means fairy in Tibetan, and it does live up to its name. How about we also kiss each other?"

Wang Baobao also followed Xu Da's example and turned the plate of roast goose in front of him in a different direction. But just as he was about to aim at Xu Da, Xu Da stared at him and quickly aimed at Zhu Yuanzhang himself.

He also imitated Xu Dadao: "To borrow a sentence from Xu Shuai, I would like to ask your Majesty to be a good person and do things without hesitation."

"My sister has been sold to your son, I can't sell my daughter too!"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately interrupted with a smile: "What Wang Aiqing said is wrong. This is different, completely different. The daughter of Xu Shuai's family was sold to our family in a serious manner."

"Your sister, after you lost the battle, we snatched her away to be our son's wife."

"How can we say that you sold this thing without the instructions of parents and the words of a matchmaker?"

"so."

Wang Baobao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was speaking confidently and felt that he had finally seen Zhu Yuanzhang's shamelessness.

In this regard, Mr. Ye Qingye, who is also shameless at times, is definitely not as good as Zhu Yuanzhang.

Wang Baobao was no longer used to Zhu Yuanzhang. Anyway, it was just a sentence that was equivalent to "definitely not selling".

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped forcing it.

The purpose of his trip was not to find a wife for his son.

The purpose of his trip was to get them to agree to cut off their own financial resources and to cooperate with him in cutting off the financial resources of the scholar-bureaucrats in the world.

"Okay, actually, the purpose of our coming to you today is not to take advantage of your daughter."

When Xu Da and Wang Baobao heard this, they immediately looked at each other and then breathed a long sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, the attitude also changed drastically.

When they looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, they no longer looked at him as a guard against fire, theft, and thieves, but as an upright, righteous, and loyal man.

Of course, as far as loyalty is concerned, Wang Baobao is almost out of the question.

His original intention did not change. If Ye Qing was willing to work with Zhu Yuanzhang, he would work with Zhu Yuanzhang. If Ye Qing wanted to work alone, he would just abandon Zhu Yuanzhang and leave.

And at this moment,
Zhu Yuanzhang was not happy at all when he saw the huge change in the attitudes of the two men, because he was already regarded as a professional in kidnapping other women.

After Zhu Yuanzhang secretly cursed the two of them, he took out Ye Qing's autograph and asked them to read it together.

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang also got straight to the point: "Actually, we really want to give you the privilege of not charging you land tax."

"But you also know the temper of your brother Ye. He made it clear that if you don't obey him, he would rather die than follow us."

"After careful consideration, we also feel that these three national policies of his are indeed century-old policies that benefit the country and the people. As long as we are not a fool, we have no reason to reject them."

"It's just that once we play all his advice accurately, all the civil and military officials in the court, and even the scholar-bureaucrats in the world, will sing our opposite tune and become enemies with him, Ye Qing."

"Why did Emperor Sui Yang die?"

"The world only knows that he killed his brother and his father, was immoral and immoral, wasted money and wasted people, loved great achievements, started many wars, and was defeated by Goguryeo."

"But we people know that his murder of his brother is true, his patricide is false, his debauchery is false, the canal he opened is still in use, and the imperial examination system he created has become custom-made by all dynasties."

"The reason why we don't use it now is because the Hongwu exam was too bad in three years, and we need to train for ten years."

"The real reason for his demise was because his imperial examination system harmed the interests of the scholar-bureaucrats all over the world!"

"And the reason why he lost to Goguryeo was because the imperial examination system harmed the interests of the scholar-officials, and the scholar-officials secretly caused harm."

"I wouldn't say this is the absolute reason, but there is indeed such a factor." "."

Xu Da and Wang Baobao looked at Ye Qing's handwritten memorial and did not feel that it was strange about his rebellious way of writing.

They are already used to it!

Besides, the emperor didn't take this seriously, so it wasn't their turn to worry about it.

On the contrary, they also liked Ye Qing's character who was willing to risk his life for the sake of the people and the country.

What is the heart of a civil servant?

This is the heart of civil servants and generals that none of them can match!
Looking at Ye Qing's three national policies, Xu Da and Wang Baobao were also full of praise.

Xu Da nodded and said: "It's good to have a tenant to work as a farmer, a good person to return to the public, a good gentry to work as an errand, and to pay for the food."

"How can his little mind come up with such a good plan for governing the country?"

"I, Xu Da, really saw him right!"

Having said this, Xu Da looked at Zhu Yuanzhang again and emphasized with a smile: "That's right, that's right. Your Majesty is a wise man. As expected, Master Ye was not wrong."

At the same time, Xu Da winked at Wang Baobao.

Although Wang Baobao didn't work with Xu Da for long, he had fought with Xu Da for half his life. The tacit understanding between them was not comparable to that of ordinary people.

"Yes, yes, Xu Shuai is right, and I also think that your majesty is wise."

"Your Majesty's eyes, which have been staring for a long time and are bigger than an ox, are a pair of giant eyes that recognize people and do their duty well."

Zhu Yuanzhang expressed his disbelief at Wang Baobao's compliments, but he didn't care.

He was just a little shocked by the two people's reactions!
He thought that these national policies also hurt their vital interests, so he deliberately came here without wearing dragon robes to show his sincerity and respect.

But he never expected that these two people would react so bluntly, without even a trace of consideration or hesitation.

In fact, while Zhu Yuanzhang looked shocked, Xu Da and Wang Baobao also understood Zhu Yuanzhang's intention of visiting in regular clothes and personally delivering the roast duck made by his sister.

They thought they were either plotting against their daughter or asking them to do something with a narrow escape from death.

But he never expected that it would be for such a trivial matter?
Xu Da and Wang Baobao just looked at each other and smiled, then raised their hands in a gesture of respect.

Xu Da cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty said that I am neither modest nor aggressive, I have no love for women, I have no treasure to take, I am upright and flawless, what I said before was a bit too much."

"It's indeed a bit too much. Who doesn't love a beautiful woman? It's just that I know how to exercise restraint. Who doesn't love treasure? It's just that I know that a gentleman loves money, so he can get it wisely!"

"Your Majesty has rewarded me with enough land. Even if I pay taxes, so what?"

"Even if I pay taxes, my descendants will have enough food and clothing, so why should I be greedy for more?"

"Besides, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. It is unreasonable for the wealthy and landed scholar-bureaucrats and wealthy businessmen not to pay more taxes, but for the common people to pay more taxes!"

"I am willing to be the first to stand up and support His Majesty, Lord Ye, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, and the most capable minister in the ages!"

Immediately afterwards, Wang Baobao also raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty said that I am the most amazing man in the world, but it is actually a bit too much."

"I am just a person who can enjoy himself for a whole year if he beats Xu Da once."

"I surrendered to the Ming Dynasty just because I had the opportunity to surrender and lead the troops to conquer the land that the Yuan Dynasty once conquered."

"Xu Shuai and I will fight, and you and Lord Ye, who are capable ministers of the Holy Lord, will treat it. Only then can this huge country be consolidated forever, and no more mistakes will be made like Dayuan's defeat and then failure, which is like a wasted fight!"

"As for treasures and beauties, I also like them very much, but I have some restraint and principles!"

"Your Majesty has rewarded the best pastures outside the pass to my tribe, and made the vassal's son the chieftain of Honggu City. It is hereditary for descendants!" (Honggu City: now Honggu District, Lanzhou)

"Your Majesty has given us enough. Such a huge pasture and farm should be taxed."

"If I don't compete with Xu Shuai for first place, if Xu Shuai is the first to support His Majesty and Lord Ye, then I must be the second."

"Only in this way can the national treasury be full and military expenditures not be tight."

Having said this, Wang Baobao's eyes were full of expectation again: "As long as your Majesty implements the national policy proposed by Mr. Ye, there is hope for my expedition."

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the two of them understood the righteousness so well, and saw that Xu Da had already begun to hold the plate and eat the roast goose with peace of mind, and he immediately smiled with joy.

He really has a sharp eye for pearls!

Facts are enough to prove that he was right when he said that he would kill all the ministers in the world without touching a single hair of Xu Da.

Facts prove that his efforts to win over Wang Baobao were completely correct.

The facts are enough to prove that he was so angry that he spared Ye Qing several times, which was still correct, but he was just frustrated enough.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became proud.

He raised his proud head and said with a smile: "I do have a keen eye for knowing people, and I do have a pair of giant eyes. The way I treat you two is an ironclad proof!"

"My tolerance for that bastard Ye Qing is even more proof!"

When the two of them heard this, they realized that they were using someone else's strategy and they called him a bastard. How shameless is this?

For such a shameless person, you must pour some cold water on his face.

Xu Da immediately said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Your tolerance for Mr. Ye seems to have nothing to do with you!"

Wang Baobao said bluntly and loudly: "That is the Queen's contribution!"

"You, you."

Zhu Yuanzhang just snorted coldly, raised his head and left the Xu family dining room.

After watching Zhu Yuanzhang leave, Xu Da and Wang Baobao discovered that he had actually left the autographed memorial written by Ye Qing here.

Xu Da knew that even if Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, he would never go back and get it.

Because he knew Xu Da would handle it properly!

Xu Da was about to burn it all, but suddenly changed his mind.

He wanted to show this autograph to Xu Miaojin to increase Xu Miaojin's favor with Ye Qing.

He finally understood that although Ye Qing could rule the world and make a country rich, and strategize with military force, he was an emotional fool.

Even if Ye Qing likes him in his heart, he will not take the initiative to attack.

In other words, there must be a reason why such an outstanding man is still single in his twenties.

As the saying goes, 'poor people must be hateful', this is the truth.

He thought, let Xu Miaojin be impressed by Ye Qing's talent, and then take the initiative to attack.

Wang Baobao naturally knew what Xu Da had planned.

He immediately caught up and said, "My daughter also wants to watch it, let the two sisters watch it together!"
