The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 350 Zhu Yuanzhang has made obvious progress, Queen Ma has obviously regressed, and Lord Ye is doing business with the emperor!

Under the candlelight in the dining room, a large round table was covered with plates that were made with only fish bones and condiments left.

While other people's servants were clearing the table, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others looked at Ye Qing eagerly, looking forward to his explanation.

Finally, other people's servants cleared the table and put on the best fruits and tea.

After other people's servants retreated, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked: "Isn't this disaster relief coming to an end?"

"How do you say it's just the beginning?"

Mao Xiang couldn't help but said: "Master Ye, the so-called disaster relief is nothing more than the resettlement of victims, the control of prices in the city, and the accountability of relevant officials."

"Aren't you doing everything well?"

Ye Qing just smiled lightly and said: "Your understanding of disaster relief is still too vague."

"伱"

Zhu Yuanzhang only felt that the young man opposite him was getting better and better in eloquence.

In fact, he himself didn't know that after being tempered by Ye Qing for so long, his anger tolerance had become much stronger.

If they had just met, he would have stood up and slapped the table.

Now, he just snorted coldly and said: "Master Ye, please enlighten me."

Queen Ma on the side looked at this scene and nodded with satisfaction. It had to be said that her Chongba's progress was really very fast.

It's just that Ye Qing's eloquence is still at the same level, as 'good' as ever.

Thinking of this, Queen Ma immediately discovered another very terrifying phenomenon.

That is, her Chongba family's exclusive tolerance for Ye Qing is improving, but her exclusive tolerance for Ye Qing is clearly declining.

Just like just now, she felt a little angry.

After Empress Ma realized this, she immediately adjusted her mentality and strongly hinted that she must put the overall situation first.

"Talents have many quirks since ancient times!"

"Talents have such weird tempers since ancient times!"

"How strangely talented people have behaved since ancient times!"

"I must treat talents as mentally ill, and as long as I don't touch issues of principle, I must tolerate them."

After Queen Ma adjusted her mentality through self-hypnosis, she also relaxed her brows and waited quietly for Master Ye to teach her.

Just when Queen Ma looked at Ye Qing, Ye Qing also put down the tea cup in his hand and began to teach him politely.

Ye Qing looked at the crowd and said: "To put it bluntly, disaster relief in your eyes is just treating the symptoms but not the root cause, killing but not burying."

"Kill a few corrupt officials to vent the people's anger, then let the victims eat porridge to survive, and finally control the market price of food."

“At first thought, I think it’s pretty much the same!”

"But what happens after that?"

"How can people rebuild their homes? Will the Ming court use money to repair the houses?"

"Who will be responsible for the people's cattle, farm tools, and grain seeds during spring plowing next year? Will the Ming court pay for them?"

“Teach a man to fish after giving him a fish, and then teach him to fish, that is the real disaster relief!”

When everyone heard this, they nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang eagerly without saying a word.

In fact, everyone knows these principles, but no one can do them except Ye Qing.

Just teaching people to fish for disaster relief put great pressure on the Ming Dynasty's finances. If they had to take care of the later disaster relief, teaching people to fish for disaster relief, the court's wallet would be drained.

The court's wallet must not be empty!

That's why Ye Qing was asked to come to provide disaster relief, so that Ye Qing could raise money on his own to "teach people how to fish."

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang just smiled and said: "Yes, your brother has a thorough understanding. Otherwise, why would His Majesty name you to take charge of disaster relief?"

"This is Your Majesty's insight. You can definitely solve these things!"

Ye Qing just smiled and said nothing. How could he know what Zhu Yuanzhang had in mind?

Isn’t it just to let him donate his own money to provide disaster relief?

In fact, this is really not a big deal to him, Ye Qing.

Not to mention money, if you don't bring it with you when you are born, and if you don't take it with you when you die, you will only have six boards when you die.

To Ye Qing personally, Ming Dynasty's money was really no better than tissue paper to wipe his butt.

He can definitely use the money to do a good deed for Zhu Yuanzhang, but he can't violate his own principles!

As long as Zhu Yuanzhang simply kills himself, he will definitely leave all his property and technology to Zhu Yuanzhang except souvenirs.

But he, Zhu Yuanzhang, was so unsatisfied that there was nothing he could do.

Ye Qing thought that since he had done this, he would definitely go to disaster relief according to his own ideas, but he must also let Zhu Yuanzhang shed a layer of his skin.

Again, either Zhu Yuanzhang will be angered to death by Ye Qing in every possible way, or he will simply kill Ye Qing.

Thinking of this, he decided to ask Mr. Guo, who could talk to the emperor, to help convey a message to Zhu Yuanzhang. Ye Qing looked at Mr. Guo in front of him and said, "Old Guo, I know what your majesty means."

"Isn't it because the Ming court's finances don't have that much money, so I am asked to contribute my own money to provide disaster relief!"

"Everyone, be sincere and just say what you have to say."

"Can I, a minister, still cheat His Majesty the Emperor?"

Zhu Yuanzhang just twitched the corner of his mouth. He just wanted to know how thick-skinned this person was. How could he say such shameless words?

Others who came with Zhu Yuanzhang, including Empress Ma, just smiled and said nothing.

It's really shameless!

To be able to say shameless words with such righteousness is something that young people can practice?

They really couldn't figure out how this person could develop such a thick skin without having sixty or seventy years of life experience.

Just when everyone was thinking like this, Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed the anger in his heart again.

He just felt that this man had no political wisdom at all. If he hadn't been very talented, he would have been killed long ago.

How dare you tell such a big truth in front of so many people!

But he also had to admit that this was the truth, and that was what he had in mind.

It's just that he underestimated Ye Qing. Unexpectedly, Ye Qing had already guessed that he, the emperor, had his own plans.

"I never thought that one day we would bow down for money and be criticized for it."

"."

Zhu Yuanzhang became angry when he thought of this, but he could only settle it by taking revenge on Ye Qing.

at the same time,

Ye Qing continued to say seriously: "Now, the money and food allocated by the imperial court have been almost spent."

"I have account books here, and the court can check them at will."

"Of course, you also know what kind of person I am, and I still look down on this little money."

Regarding this point, not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, everyone present expressed their approval.

But just when everyone was nodding, Ye Qing looked directly at Mr. Guo in front of him and said: "Old Guo, I need to ask you a favor!"

"You said."

Zhu Yuanzhang said a little bluntly.

He must not do it simply, because he has a strong feeling that this must not be a good thing.

Ye Qing was not polite and said directly: "Please help me bring a message to His Majesty the Emperor. Actually, there is no need to trouble you. I, the imperial envoy, can just write the memorial."

With that said, Ye Qing peeled the fruit on his own.

The reason why he changed his mind temporarily was actually out of good intentions.

In his opinion, what he was going to say to Zhu Yuanzhang next was so irritating that there was no need to implicate other people.

Just when Ye Qing was thinking like this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt very uncomfortable.

For him, this was like pulling up his trousers and going off to fight in the middle of the toilet!

Not only did he feel this way, but Queen Ma and Mao Xiang also felt this way.

Empress Ma immediately asked with a smile: "You don't need our help to pass the message, you can also come and listen, right?"

After Ye Qing thought about it for a while, he felt that this was the case.

Anyway, it's still early, and there's nothing interesting in this place yet, so let's just say it and piss them off.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing immediately took a bite of the fruit and said, "I want to make a deal with His Majesty the Emperor, a big win-win deal for both of us."

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he only felt that there was something wrong with the innocent smiling face in front of him.

Many times, Ye Qing is actually very similar to him.

The more polite he is to officials and the more courteous he is to corporals, the more miserable the other party will die!

The same is true for him, Ye Qing. The more sincere he seems and the more innocent his smile is, the worse the opponent will be deceived!

After Zhu Yuanzhang realized this problem, he also imitated Queen Ma and gave himself powerful psychological suggestions.

He kept telling himself that no matter what bastard words Ye Qing said next, he could not get angry on the spot.

He had to go back to his room and discuss it with his sister.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked with deep eyes: "What big deal do you want to do with His Majesty the Emperor?".
