Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 20: One copy for me, one for you

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Li Wei again in detail about the process of handling affairs. Wu Bozong told him everything he knew and explained it in detail.The more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Was this bitch obviously trying to cheat?Fortunately, he still thought that this bitch would be greedy for power, so he was completely wrong about co-authoring it.

And he dared to leave early!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked very bad. He didn't want his ministers to be greedy for power, but he also couldn't tolerate laziness!
This is very contradictory, but this is what he asked his ministers to do!

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth when he heard Li Wei's lazy behavior. After thinking about it, he decided to directly issue an order to set the time to get off work tomorrow!

After asking Wu Bozong to withdraw, Zhu Yuanzhang read the memorials again, and then discovered that some of Li Wei's handling opinions were quite good.

So he copied all the good ones, and those who offended others, such as asking the servant to guard the widow's door, and asking those who wrote smelly and long memorials to copy their own memorials a hundred times, made a special statement. The opinions of "Li Aiqing".

After Zhu Yuanzhang's saucy operation, the hole in which Li Wei was buried became much deeper. It was originally buried up to his waist, but now it is at least up to his chest!
In the morning of the next day, Li Wei went through a lot of hard work to get rid of the entanglement of the beautiful girl in his dream. In the process, he scolded Zhu Yuanzhang dozens of times in his heart, and thought about lying down and quitting hundreds of times, and finally got stuck. He rushed to the Meridian Gate at [-]:[-] and followed the large troops into the palace.

The ministers of Fengtian Palace stood in line. Today, the civil servants looked at him even more unkindly. Some of them turned their heads and glared at him fiercely from time to time. However, Li Wei was dozing with his eyes slightly closed, and could not see their murderous eyes at all. gaze.

Before starting the discussion, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict to confer Wu Bozong, Wang Jie, Wu Chen, and Huang Zai with the titles of Grand Bachelor of Huagaidian, Grand Bachelor of Jinshen Hall, Grand Bachelor of Wuyingdian, and Grand Bachelor of Wenhua Palace respectively, with the same rank as Li Wei. There was no distinction between superior and inferior, and he specifically pointed out that the cabinet's closing time is at [-]:[-] p.m., and it is not allowed to be early or late!This one was specially prepared for Li Wei. He left early and everyone else was very honest!

When they heard that Zhu Yuanzhang had conferred four more bachelor degrees, some people immediately sensed that this was a division of Li Wei's power!good chance.

"Your Majesty, I am impeaching Li Wei, the academician of Wenyuan Pavilion, for abusing his power. I care about the lives of the people and report every detail to the Holy One. However, Li Wei wants me to guard the door for others. This is clearly making things difficult for me!"

"I also impeached Li Wei, but the memorial I submitted was just too long. Li Wei didn't have the patience to watch it, and actually punished me to copy it a hundred times!"

"minister……"

A group of people will take revenge when they seize the opportunity. These things were all suggested by Zhu Yuanzhang as "Li Aiqing".

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned calmly and said: "We think what Li Aiqing said is very true. Look at what you wrote. Two sentences must be written in a long and disgusting way. If you are punished by copying it a hundred times, it will be frivolous. of!"

Regarding this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang really felt that Li Wei punished him well!

"And you, the dignified minister, are just talking nonsense. Are you free from anything?"

These people were stunned for a moment after being scolded. Could it be that they thought wrong?Li Wei's favor has not diminished at all?
"Your Majesty, I...but my family is poor and I don't have so much paper to write on!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: ...

"Li Aiqing, what do you think?"

Zhu Yuanzhang threw the problem to the initiator.

Li Wei also woke up early here. After all, he couldn't sleep because he was being scolded by name.

Li Wei came out of work and saluted, and then said to the old man from a poor family: "What do you call Mr. Boss?"

"Hmph, I am the Minister of Punishment, Ru Taisu!"

The old man snorted and glared at Li Wei.

"How many pieces of paper can you, a minister and a dignified third-rank official, not be able to afford?"

Li Wei had just arrived and didn't know how valuable paper was. He was puzzled by the old man's excuse that he couldn't afford paper.

Paper in this era is still quite expensive, not as cheap as in later generations. We use paper to wipe our butts, but no one is willing to give it up now!The paper used by ministers to write memorials every month is subsidized by the court, but it is limited. It does not mean that Lao Zhu will reimburse you no matter how much you write.

Moreover, what he wrote was so long that the amount of paper needed to copy it hundreds of times was not a small amount.

"You!" Ru Taisu was furious and said angrily: "I am an upright and honest official, so of course I am different from you, a treacherous sycophant!"

Li Wei rolled his eyes and called him a traitor at every turn. He didn't take bribes or engage in corruption, and he didn't bend the law for personal gain. He didn't know how he became a traitor.

However, Li Wei was not one to retaliate when angered. After thinking about it, he thought of the old man practicing calligraphy in the park in later generations, and he immediately thought of it:
"Your Majesty, why don't you let Master Ru use clear water as ink, use a long stick tied with a strip of fine cloth as a pen, and copy on the stone tablet, which saves ink and paper."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up when he heard this. This is a good idea. Why didn't he think of it? If anyone writes a long and smelly letter to us in the future, we will punish them like this!
"That's very good! Ru Taisu, just go and copy outside the Meridian Gate as Li Aiqing said. You are not allowed to leave until you have copied it a hundred times!"

"what?"

Ru Taisu was pale and pale. His memorial book contained tens of thousands of words. He copied it hundreds of times outside the Meridian Gate. My mother-in-law must have suffered so much!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what about me?" asked another servant.

"You, just go and see the door for a month and then come back!"

"..."

Next, Zhu Yuanzhang used practical actions to show that Li Wei's holy family was prosperous, and Li Wei's reputation as a traitor became even more popular.

After going down to court, Li Wei gathered together with the four newly appointed bachelors. Although they were on the same level, because he was the previous chief officer and did not know what humility was, everyone still vaguely regarded him as headed by.

"Since His Majesty has conferred upon you the title of Grand Bachelor, we will all be colleagues on the same level from now on. Let's divide these memorials into separate portions, and each person will handle part of them."

Li Wei sat in his original position and said to the four of them.

"As it should be, let Master Li distribute it to everyone."

Wu Bozong said humbly.

"Okay, then I'll take the trouble and share it with everyone."

Li Wei is not polite either.

Wang Jie and others: ...

Words like "suffering" are polite words used by others, but it's really rude of you to speak of yourself.

Li Wei began to assign work: "I have one copy, you have a pile, you have a pile, you have a pile, you have a pile, I have one copy, you..."

After a while, Li Wei had a few memorials in front of him, while Wu Bozong, Wang Jie and others had a large pile in front of them.

"This... Mr. Li, is this inappropriate?"

Wu Chen, who was slightly younger, said that he was not tired. Handling memorials for the emperor was also a kind of authority. They would only be dissatisfied with the small share, not the large share.

"Do you think I haven't done enough?"

"No, no, that's not what I mean. It's just that Mr. Li is so humble, which makes me a little embarrassed."

Li Wei was startled and didn't quite understand what it meant. Are you saying something ironic and sarcastic about me?
Wu Chen felt that he had delegated so much power and was a little embarrassed to accept it. Li Wei didn't understand, but he didn't care, as long as these people didn't object.

"It's okay, it's okay, that's it, let's get to work."

Several people started working step by step, and Li Wei also watched with difficulty.

Really tough!
It's not that he doesn't know traditional Chinese characters, but that these classical Chinese texts are really difficult to understand. What's even more outrageous is that there are no punctuation marks on them. A large block of characters are connected together, which makes him dizzy.

Fortunately, these people have learned from past mistakes and stopped making long remarks.

After struggling to read the book, Li Wei began to write a brief summary:
"Shocked, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance actually pinned two men down in front of the public..."

This is the extravagance and waste of the imperial censor impeaching the Minister of Household Affairs to sit in a sedan chair.

"Shocked! A certain gentleman who was once honest and honest has now become like this..."

This is because an older official resigned due to illness.

……

After a lot of effort, Li Wei finally finished processing these memorials. Mainly due to reading difficulties, it was quite easy to process them.

As for using headlines, he also has his own considerations. To be honest, he really doesn't want to do it anymore. He can't stand getting up so early every day!

It was not yet noon, so Li Wei had some time to spare, but Zhu Yuanzhang had already issued an edict that the time to get off work was set, so he couldn't leave early.

After thinking about it, he remembered that he still had a war errand waiting for him, so he might as well go around while he was free, which was better than working here without a computer, so he couldn't play games or surf the Internet.
