Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 16 Announcement of Li Wei’s visit

"Just now we learned from the people that Jiangning County Magistrate deducted the money and food we distributed to the people. What do you think we should do with this dog official?"

When Li Wei heard this, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and saw that he looked calm and relaxed. He felt a little confused. Based on the history that Li Wei knew...well, the TV series, this emperor hated corruption deeply. It is said that if the amount exceeds 60 taels, he will be punished. To peel off the real grass!
"Of course he will be beheaded. Corrupt officials will be punished by everyone!"

After Li Weili finished speaking, he said tactfully: "But, old...er, are the salaries you give officials too little?"

He had also heard that officials in the Ming Dynasty had extremely low salaries and were notoriously poor.

"Do you think we pay too little salary to officials?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little angry. He raised his finger and pointed at the farmers working in the fields:

"Look at these people who are working hard, but they can't even have a full meal. How dare you say such a thing to us?"

"..."

Li Wei was speechless. Well, he was talking too much.

"When we get back, we'll have this dog officer arrested, and then I'll let you oversee the execution!"

"What?" Li Wei was shocked and said quickly: "This is inappropriate, I'm just a commoner!"

"Isn't it enough for us to make you an official?" Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.

"Ah, no need for that. I'm not very talented and I can't be an official."

He had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, and he didn't want to plunge in again.

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes: "Think about it again."

"Inappropriate!" Li Wei simply refused.

Then, with a cry and a flash of cold light, the sword in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand had been pulled out and placed on his neck. The bloody smell of the person he had just killed still remained on the sword!

Li Wei's whole body froze and he didn't dare to move: "Your Majesty, you... didn't you say you don't care about me anymore?"

"That's what Zhu Baba said. What does it have to do with Zhu Yuanzhang?" Zhu Yuanzhang said confidently.

Li Wei was speechless. Does it make sense for you to change your name?Talking like farts!
The little girl who was following far behind was also shocked when she saw this scene, and hurriedly ran forward: "Ba Ye doesn't want it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's glance frightened her so much that she stopped and did not dare to step forward. She could only stand far away and worry!
"Let's ask again, do you want to do it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

Through these days of observation, although he still didn't want to believe the idea of ​​traveling through time and space, he felt that this kid didn't seem to be lying. Moreover, after today's observation, he tested his character, attitude towards the people, and his attitude towards corrupt officials. His opinion, and he also dug a hole later, ensuring that he can control this piece of shit and use it for himself!
Now that the Ming Dynasty was recruiting people, he had killed many officials, and the court was often short of manpower. He wished he could give Li Wei a job whenever he saw someone who could read, so naturally he couldn't let Li Wei go!

"I have been wandering for half my life, and I only regret that I have never met my master. If Your Majesty will not give up, I am willing to devote myself to Your Majesty until my death."

Li Wei decisively gave in and read out the classic lines.

It is a job after all, and a lower salary is better than losing your head.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, and then put away the knife.

The three of them wandered around for a whole day and returned to Yingtianfu City near dusk.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and wanted to go back to the palace. Li Wei quickly grabbed him:
"Your Majesty, you see I have nothing now. I have nothing. Can you give me some money? Just treat it like I sold you my things."

Zhu Yuanzhang glared and said: "You have been eating and drinking for free in the palace for so many days, and we haven't asked you for money yet. How dare you ask for money from us?"

Li Wei was speechless. You were the one who locked me up. I should be provided with prison food even if I'm in jail. Do I have to blame myself for this?
"Your Majesty, you see I am penniless, are you going to let me sleep on the street?" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and took out a roll of paper from his body:
"This is a hundred-guan treasure note. If you save some money, it will be regarded as your salary for this year. Remember to come to court early tomorrow!"

"Okay okay."

Li Wei agreed and took the thick roll of paper.I unfolded it and looked at it. It had the words "Daming Tongbao Banknote" on it, with "Guide" written in the middle, and there were many patterns, seals and the like around it to prevent counterfeiting.

One hundred dollars, he didn't know whether this year's salary was too much or too little.

In fact, according to the current system of the Ming Dynasty, earning one hundred guan notes a year is equivalent to a seventh-grade salary.As soon as he became a scholar, he was promoted to the seventh rank, which was comparable to the treatment of being a Jinshi.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not explain to him, waved his hand and left, leaving Li Weiwei and the little girl standing alone on the street.

Li Wei looked around, found a random inn and took the little girl in, got two rooms and stayed there.

Two rooms cost less than usual.But it's not too small. If there is no other income, with only one hundred guan of treasure money, the store will evict you from the house in less than half a year.

"If that doesn't work, I still have to rent a house. I'll take some time tomorrow to look for any cheap houses for rent."

After a tiring day, Li Wei lay in bed thinking about his future arrangements, and fell asleep soon after.

As soon as it got dark the next day, Li Wei got up. After all, the new boss had ordered him to go to court early. He had just received his salary and he couldn't neglect it.

After breakfast, Li Wei wandered outside the Meridian Gate.Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that he would not know the way, so he had already told Xiao Dezi to wait there.

Seeing Li Wei walking over slowly, Xiao Dezi came forward anxiously:

"Master Li, why are you here? Your Majesty is already impatient!"

"It's not even eight o'clock yet, is it?"

Li Wei was stunned for a moment. He felt that he had arrived very early.

"Oh, forget it, stop talking and just come with me!"

Xiao Dezi anxiously led him into the palace gate and went to Fengtian Hall.

In the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the dragon chair, listening to a minister below muttered a work report, frowning, and glanced at the door after a few seconds.

"We asked that bitch to come early, but he hasn't arrived yet. It's really unreasonable! Let's wait and see how we deal with this bitch!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking while holding back his anger and handling government affairs.

At this time, Xiao Dezi finally led Li Wei to the door. After showing his head, he led Li Wei to stand outside the door waiting to be summoned.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been paying attention to the movement at the door, noticed it without Xu Shou reminding him.

Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed the anger in his heart, paused for a moment after the next minister finished reporting his work, and then put on a smile and said to the ministers:
"We recently found a genius who knows astronomy and geography. He has quick thinking and extraordinary wisdom..."

Zhu Yuanzhang first praised Li Wei fiercely, and then changed his tone and said: "Our decision to abolish the Zhongshu Province is the advice given to us by this great talent."

After speaking, he looked at the ministers below with a proud look on his face.

After hearing this, the ministers were in an uproar!Good guys, the culprit has been found!
They dared not speak out about Zhu Yuanzhang's decision to abolish Zhongshu Province.Now that I heard that this matter was actually the suggestion of some strange person, I immediately found an outlet for my anger!
The ministers looked around to see where the strange man Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned was. Zhu Yuanzhang did not keep them waiting and gave Xu Shou instructions.

Xu Shou immediately shouted loudly: "Xuan Li Wei comes to see you!"

　No status, no status, stuck, I'll make up for it tomorrow, I'll think about it again
