The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 97 Zhu Yuanzhang, you know what a fart, double-labeled dogs only belong to Emperor Zhu!
"What did you say?"

"We're going to talk to you Master Ye about big business, but we have to go through the back door. What's the point?"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang tried his best to suppress his anger, anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that he was very repulsed by this rule.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't just reject this rule, he could say that he hated Ye Qing's behavior to the extreme.

He did a lot of things like bathing, scrubbing, and massaging, and it wasn't a big deal.

But the key point is that the ones who bathed him were ordinary eunuchs and court ladies, and they didn't say that they would spend a lot of money on maintenance just to feel the softness of their slender hands.

They also use fresh milk to soak their hands and feet every day, which is simply wasteful!

This is not what he can't tolerate the most, the sentence that Ye Qing's bath maid dumped Zhu Yuanzhang's most beautiful concubine ten streets is what he can't tolerate the most.

He wants to see now, what kind of thing is it that can be more beautiful than his concubine!

Not to mention other things, it is the Concubine Yu who paid tribute to the Goryeo Kingdom, and she is a first-class beauty!

Besides, the rules of going through the back door, isn't it just a sign of collusion between the government and businessmen!
But on second thought, is this still a new thing?

Isn't he, Ye Qing, the biggest boss among the big money-making industries in the county?

They all went into business in an upright manner as officials, collusion between officials and businessmen, which is a serious crime of beheading in other places, must be a piece of cake in Ye Qing's eyes.

Thinking of Ye Qing's various daring actions, he wanted to execute Ye Qing on the spot!

But when he thought of Ye Qing's accomplishments, those skills he coveted, and the high hopes his sister gave him, he still decided to bear with it.

Isn't it just going through the back door!
As long as Zhu Yuanzhang puts his mentality in the right place and fully assumes the role of a businessman, it will not be a big deal to go to the official through the back door.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang had figured it out and was about to turn around and go through the back door, the doorman who had introduced him for so long became unhappy immediately.

There is no other reason, because the person in front of him seems to be very repulsed by this rule that must be followed.

The door clerk also crossed his hands and said, "My lord, don't be unhappy."

"Big businessmen like you who beg our Lord Ye to do big business can be said to be able to line up from the east of the city to the south of the city."

"I advise you, if you want to see our Master Ye as soon as possible, you have to go to the back door to line up early, it is best to bring a small stool, you may have to wait for several hours, and you may not even be able to see it until tomorrow morning."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in surprise, "Is this for business, or for medical treatment?"

The gatekeeper just smiled and said: "As the saying goes, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, we are here in Hedong for three years, and Hexi in three years!"

"If you had come two years ago, our Lord Ye might have greeted you at the door and entertained you personally."

"If you come now, don't say you are a big businessman, even if the emperor's relatives come, we Lord Ye may not be able to respond!"

"When others get rich, their tails go up to the sky, but our Master Ye has their tails up to the sky!"

"I advise you to quickly find a place to have lunch. After eating, go to the queue with a small stool. I will be on duty at the back door in the afternoon, and maybe I can open a back door for you."

Speaking of this, the gatekeeper gave Zhu Yuanzhang a very suggestive look.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, a picture appeared in his mind, he had to bring a small stool to line up at the back door when he went to see Ye Qing, he was still afraid of others jumping in line.

Thinking of this, he really can't play the role of a businessman anymore!

He is the genuine founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He had to bring a small stool to line up to meet a seventh-rank county magistrate.

"we"

Before Zhu Yuanzhang got angry, Empress Ma took a step forward and directly handed over ten taels of silver to the gatekeeper.

This time it is not a treasure note without texture, but a heavy snowflake silver ingot.

Empress Ma smiled lightly and said, "Then it's settled, we'll go through the back door in the afternoon!"

But the gatekeeper directly returned the money and said: "I'm sorry, we never accept bribes, and we will never take a copper coin from the common people. If I take your ten taels of silver, I will be immersed in a pig cage."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately remembered a new vocabulary he learned in Yanmen County, which was also used by Lao Liu to scold him.

Strictly speaking, this is a fresh vocabulary Ye Qing used to scold the emperor, and Lao Liu only heard it.

Zhu Yuanzhang grinned and said, "Isn't this a double-standard dog?"

"He himself is a big corrupt official, why don't you let him be corrupt?"

"The upper beam is not straight, and the lower beam is required not to be crooked. This is a typical double-standard dog!"

As soon as the words fell, an inexplicable sense of refreshment came to my heart instantly. If I had to describe this refreshment, it would be 'a tooth for a tooth'!
But at this moment, the gatekeeper immediately became very excited: "You know what!"

"Our Lord Ye is the most selfless person in the world!"

"In order to develop the region, he became a corrupt official who tried his best to make money, and became a corrupt official who the emperor knew and would definitely kill him!"

"But you don't know, he has warned each of us"

The door clerk continued in great detail with his eyes wet and red.

The reason why he said so much is that he does not allow these business travelers from other places to misinterpret their Lord Ye so much.

Listening to the doorman's extremely detailed memories, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma immediately had a picture of that scene in their minds.

Not long after Ye Qing took office,
He summoned all the officials below the county magistrate to the large square in front of the county government office. No matter if they were government officials or prison guards, they all stood here.

Finally, Ye Qing stood on the high platform and said loudly: "Everyone, if Yanmen County wants to develop rapidly, it has to take a shortcut, it has to take a slant!"

"I will become a big corrupt official who has an eye for money!"

"However, I ask you, you must not do anything related to greedy words, and you must not take a copper coin from the common people!"

"After Yanmen County develops, I will increase everyone's income to the point that you don't need to do anything related to greedy words, it will be enough to support your family, and you will have a surplus every year."

"Not only that, but at that time, I will build a 'centralized housing for officials' for you!"

"This is the benefit I will definitely give you in the future, but if I find out that anyone who has obtained these benefits dares to covet, even if it is a copper coin, I will make you die!"

As soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, all the officials knelt down and thanked him.

Because they are not stupid, they know the reason why Ye Qing did this, that is, when it comes time to judge the crime, he can go to the guillotine alone.

Under the majestic gate of the county government,
After the gatekeeper said this, he raised his head and blinked his eyes, fearing that the tears of disappointment would flow out of his eyes.

After the gatekeeper stabilized his mood a little, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was already stunned there: "Tell me, how can you say that such a parent official is a double-standard dog?"

"Let me tell you, the real double-standard dog is the emperor Lao Tzu who is doing unfaithful and unrighteous things, but also demands loyalty and righteousness from others!".
