The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 96 Lord Ye's maid Concubine Sai, the emperor must go through the back door when he sees the county magistrate!

The people surrounding here saw this lady scolding her lord face to face, and planned to forgive them.

Of course, this unlovable master had to express his opinion!
As the saying goes, if there is a grievance, there is a debt, and the fault was committed by this annoying master, so it doesn't count if Madam expresses her position.

It was only when everyone was staring at Zhu Yuanzhang covetously that he fully reacted.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Empress Ma who had already been moved to tears in front of him, and he didn't blame her for blaming himself face to face, because he was still quite moved after hearing this story.

It's just that he is not a woman, so it is not so easy to write emotions such as being touched on his face.

In the north at the beginning of Hongwu, he knew what was going on without the people telling him.

In fact, even if the people don't need to say how capable Ye Qing is, what he has seen and heard these days is enough to prove everything.

It's just that he never expected that there is such a story about this drum.

He Zhu Yuanzhang used to be called Monk Zhu, and he had already heard the story of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva vowing that hell would not be empty and not becoming a Buddha.

He, the Hua monk who became a monk just to earn a living, also knew that the words 'Hell is not empty, and you will not become a Buddha' are just stories made up by people with a heart.

But what the people in the story didn't do, Ye Qing did it!

"If you don't wear new clothes, I will always wear patched official clothes?"

"."

While these words kept echoing in Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, he also glanced at these common people who didn't have a patch on their bodies.

He didn't want to admit it, but he also had to admit that this young corrupt official had surpassed that illusory god and Buddha in this matter!
Thinking of this, he seemed to understand the significance of this paper drum to the people of Yanmen.

Just like what Ye Qing said three years ago, every time they pass by and see this paper-covered grievance drum, they will remember that they were once so poor that they couldn't even repair the county government's grievance drum.

Only by recalling the sufferings of the past and the happy life today can we always remember that happiness is hard-won and should be cherished and protected.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang does this every day. After he became an emperor, he would always recall the bitterness of the past, and always remind himself to be diligent and thrifty, and not to become a fatuous, extravagant and licentious king.

"This is a drum with educational significance for the people of Yanmen and their descendants!"

"This is the spiritual treasure of their county!"

"We are indeed impulsive, but if you ask more, it will not be so!"

"."

Zhu Yuanzhang just frowned, he really wanted to take his three catties of regret medicine.

It's a pity that there is no such thing as regret medicine in this world!

In the eyes of everyone, Zhu Yuanzhang just took a deep breath, and then apologized to everyone: "Everyone, we are really sorry to everyone."

"When we first arrived, we didn't know about such a thing at all. It was only because of the urgency of the matter that we sounded the grievance drum. After all, it is done in other places."

"Of course, we don't look for reasons. If we are wrong, we are wrong!"

"This drum is a priceless treasure to all of you. We won't say how much you will lose. No matter how much you lose, it's useless. Losing money is an insult to this drum."

"Let's just sit here and paste this drum bit by bit!"

"."

Zhu Yuanzhang's performance once again made Empress Ma smile with relief, and once again she felt that Yanmen County was really a place where her family Chongba could slowly improve.

If it was a different place, could he apologize like this?
Especially after becoming the emperor, he will never apologize to anyone, because the emperor is a saint who is never wrong!

In fact, this is not the case. There are not a few emperors who have sinned against themselves in history, but if there is no experience in Yanmen County, she can be sure that her family Chongba will never issue any sins because of her own fault.

But now it seems that this is not necessarily the case!

If Ye Qing can be allowed to enter the imperial court and become the 'mirror Wei Zheng' of the Ming Dynasty, her Chongba will definitely have such a mind.

Of course, it is also very possible for her family Chongba to become a true eternal sage!

Thinking of this, she glanced at the majestic gate of the majestic county government from the corner of her eye. As long as Ye Qing didn't go too far after meeting, she would be sure that this could be a crime of 'violating the rules' or 'conspiracy'. Ingeniously turned into the crime of 'get carried away with more money'.

At this moment, the people finally showed a faint smile of satisfaction.

In their eyes, this old man, who is so unlikable just by looking at him, is already quite pleasing to the eye.

Yes,

This drum is a priceless treasure to them, and it is not something that can be forgiven by losing money.

Only those who are willing to do their best to remedy the situation with their own hands can gain their understanding.

Besides, if everything is linked to money, it will leave a bad impression on these foreign business travelers.

"Okay, then follow this master."

"That's right, this attitude is right!"

"That's right, with this attitude, I won't fight you hard, old man!"

"."

Soon, most of the people dispersed, leaving only this old man who was almost desperate with Zhu Yuanzhang as the supervisor.

He just watched Zhu Yuanzhang sitting on the ground, repairing the drum head bit by bit.

During the period, he also helped Zhu Yuanzhang buy paper materials and paste for oil-paper umbrellas!
Half an hour later, Zhu Yuanzhang once again erected the drum stand on the repaired paper to complain about grievances.

After everything was done, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the doorman, "By the way, how can we sue without this drum?"

The gatekeeper also said politely: "If you ask me earlier, it will be fine!"

As he said that, the gatekeeper pointed to the administrative hall inside the gate and said: "This administrative hall, whether you are a local who has a conflict, or a couple who wants to separate, or you want to go out to do business and issue directions, I can handle it for you." !"

"It's the same with outsiders, we treat everyone equally here!"

"Whether it's business taxation or anything else, you can handle it here!"

"As for the complaint, as long as it is not murder, arson, rape of women, or house robbery, it can also be judged and dealt with by ordinary county officials here!"

Hearing the introduction from the gatekeeper, Zhu Yuanzhang only felt that this administrative hall was very fresh, and he wanted to go see it.

But after listening for a long time, he didn't realize that Master Ye had anything to do with this administrative hall, just like they never appeared in the administrative hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked: "According to what you mean, as long as you don't kill people and set fires, rape women, or rob houses, you Lord Ye will not be promoted to adjudicate cases in person, let alone sit on the council?"

The gatekeeper said casually, "Of course!"

"Our Lord Ye is very busy, how can we have time to do these things?"

"It's just that there have been no major cases such as murder and arson, rape of women, and house robbery in this county for more than two years, so the court hall with mirrors and high plaques has become a decoration!"

"To be honest, I haven't seen our Master Ye for more than a month!"

When he heard this, Zhu Yuanzhang finally had a little affection for Ye Qing, but now more than half of it is gone.

There is no other reason,

Even if this so-called administrative hall is a clever plan that can handle trivial matters, even if he, Ye Qing, manages the law and order well enough, he won't be a council member all the time!
If the head of a county does not sit on the board of directors, he can't justify it, unless he goes out to inspect.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of so many industries in Yanmen County.

Industrial parks, arsenals, road construction and mining, as well as labor camps and pastures that he hadn't had time to see, all appeared in his mind at once.

In addition to these, there are other matters such as river embankment flood protection, all of which he, Ye Qing, has to take care of.

If Master Ye is busy with these things all day, he really doesn't have time to sit on the board of directors.

After Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, he immediately looked at the doorman in front of him. As long as his next answer is like this, he doesn't need his sister to speak. 'The charge, turned into a small charge.

After Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind, he said anxiously, "I understand that you Lord Ye have been out for inspection all day, and you are too busy to touch the ground, but we still want to talk to him about big business!"

"If you can't find anyone all day long, how can you talk about this business?"

When the gatekeeper heard this, he quickly shook his head and said, "You think too much!"

"In the past, our Lord Ye not only went out to inspect all day long, was so busy that we didn't touch the ground, but also took the lead in doing the work!"

"It's just that now that he has money, he is busy drinking tea, listening to music, and keeping healthy every day."

"You don't know, Mr. Ye has raised two eldest ladies who are dedicated to take care of him in the bath, and those hands are maintained with ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum."

"The freshly squeezed milk is delivered in front of me every morning, and most of it is used to soak the hands and feet of the two eldest ladies!"

"I have the honor to meet the two eldest ladies. Although I have never met the emperor's concubine, I can guarantee that I will definitely beat the most beautiful concubine of the emperor's father!"

Speaking of this, the gatekeeper can be said to be more and more proud.

Must be proud!
Their Ye adults live better than the emperor Laozi, which is enough to prove that they are happier than the people at the emperor's feet.

Of course, the reason why he told the old man in front of him was because of their outfits, which looked like they were very rich.

You must first let them know how high Master Ye's taste is, so that they can have an idea in their minds. If you don't have enough weight, don't even think about doing business with them directly.

Thinking of this, he continued, "If you want to do business directly with Mr. Ye, you can't go through the main door, you have to go through the back door!"

"Of course, there are rules for going through the back door."

"As for the weight of this rule, you can weigh it yourself!".
　I beg the judges to follow up, thank you!
