Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 103 Who can be a human being in Ming Dynasty (2w word update please subscribe)

"What unexpected discovery?"

"The beggars in the city are the targets of this group of people." Wang Buli picked up the tea cup.

Li Jinglong leaned on the bamboo chair and held the bamboo board:

“So what you’re saying is that this group of people are looking for beggars to feed them for a few days.

Send them to Ye Qinhuai to tell them about the counterfeit money, and after making money, send them to the sinking pond in person to prevent the news from leaking? "

"good."

Wang Buli is just making this conjecture at the moment.

Since the masterminds of counterfeit banknotes are so cautious, it will take a lot of effort to catch them.

In fact, such realistic counterfeit banknotes only harmed the interests of Lao Zhu's family.

Folks don't care what is true or false.

You can use your treasure money to buy things, just don't waste it in your own hands.

The government won't recycle them, no one wants old banknotes.

The most important thing is the body of one of them, which Wang Buli carefully identified.

Only then did he become convinced that it was the person he had begged with before.

Moreover, it was the beggar who discovered the mutilated body and reported the case to him, which led to the murderous incident. Wang Buli had to look at him more.

Coupled with the recall of the somewhat similar portraits painted by Ye Qinhuai, Wang Buli's conjecture was even more convinced.

After all, a man has unkempt hair and a lot of black armor on his body.

It is a bit difficult to distinguish for those who are not familiar with it.

With this man's body in hand, Wang Buli turned his attention to the beggars and shackles in the city.

This group of people are perfect candidates for consuming counterfeit money.

They were not on the household registration, so even if they were dead, no one would care.

The beggars thought it was a pie from heaven, but they didn't know that the pie was poisonous.

Some people are eager to enjoy it for two or three days. Even if they die, this life will be worth it.

That was Ye Qinhuai.

The most popular brothel in Nanjing.

A beggar will never get a chance in this life.

Not to mention pretending to be a high-roller to pay tribute to the oiran, and even have the opportunity to have a skin-to-skin kiss with the oiran.

"Trouble." Li Jinglong continued to dig into the ice cream:

"There are many beggars in the capital. If they are all driven out of the city, it will be easier for them to change their appearance, and it will be difficult to find out the mastermind behind the scenes."

Wang Buli leaned on the bamboo chair and raised his head slightly to look at the sky: "Actually, it's a good idea to drive them out."

"What do you mean?"

Li Jinglong originally thought that his idea was a bad idea, but to his surprise, Wang Buli actually agreed.

"Will this work?"

"Bacteria are easy to breed in summer. They don't take baths and wander around, which can easily bring plague diseases."

"Really or not?" Li Jinglong's eyes widened and he never thought about it.

"My ancestral medical skills, why are you lying to me?"

"Yes." Li Jinglong nodded lightly: "I believe you."

Wang Buli tilted his head and added: "Besides, Your Majesty doesn't want any Yifu wandering around in the city.

Jiangning and Shangyuan counties worked together to organize an official operation to drive away Yifu.

You send more lean-looking experts to infiltrate the beggars, and wait for the people involved in the counterfeit money case to select the people, while your people secretly look for clues.

How can there be beggars in Ming Dynasty?

Is it possible that they want to repeat the same path as today?

That is absolutely impossible! "

"Hey, your mind works so fast!"

Li Jinglong put down the bamboo chopsticks in his hand: "This matter must be something that all the civil servants and generals in the capital are willing to do, and it is also in line with His Majesty's philosophy of regulating Yifu."

As for what Wang Buli said about being a beggar and replicating the behavior of the emperor, Li Jinglong thought it was nonsense.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty alone was stationed with countless powerful soldiers and generals.

The veteran generals in the court are not old yet.

What's more, there are rising stars like him, the second generation of the army, who are emerging like crazy, always ready to succeed their father and brother's glory and make great contributions to the Ming Dynasty again.

Which beggar dares to have such a grand dream?

Do they match?

"Well, it's better for you not to come forward in this matter, so as not to alert the enemy."

"it is good."

The more Li Jinglong thought about it, the more excited he became and felt that this plan was feasible.

As for whether the beggars and other Yifu who were driven out of the city would starve to death, he didn't bother to care.

It doesn't matter at all.

Who told them not to farm the land honestly at home but to become runaways?

After Li Jinglong finished eating the ice cream, he immediately got up and left, preparing to do this.

If he hesitates any longer, more counterfeit money will flow into Ye Qinhuai's income.

That's all His Majesty's money!

"Young Master, when will the two guards arrive?" Wang Buli did not get up to see him off, he just sat on the bamboo chair and shouted.

"I'll send someone here in a moment and prepare a place for you to live."

"Okay, let me clean up the house."

Wang Buli looked back and took a look at the only remaining house filled with sundries. It was tidied up so that people could live in it.

"Little sister, go to the street and buy two ready-made single beds, as well as two sets of light pillows and quilts and toiletries, and ask them to take them home and pay the bill."

Wang Xingying came over after hearing the sound and wiped his wet hands:

"Second brother, do you want to keep two slaves in the backyard?"

"I'm not a slave. I'm hiring two guards to protect my family. There's been some unrest in the city recently."

Wang Xingying didn't ask any more questions. The second brother had his own reasons for doing this.

"Then you have to tell dad."

After all, the old father is the head of the family.

"Well, you go ahead and do it first, just think you have two more mouths to eat.

Our family can easily afford the money just from selling ice cream.

This time, I asked a guard to look after the house and the courtyard, just to prevent anyone from coveting the secret recipe and coming to the house to cause trouble. It was just a precautionary measure. "

"Okay, I'll go right away."

The second brother thinks comprehensively.

Wang Xingying immediately went out to do it.

Ice cream is very popular in Qinhuai at night, and someone will definitely covet the secret recipe.

The second brother can still protect her at home.

But the second brother has been away from home for a longer period of time, and I'm afraid it won't be possible to rely on the eldest brother's powerless scholar alone.

What if someone comes to rob her or force her to reveal the secret recipe?

Even though the eldest brother's halo as a scholar is quite useful on weekdays.

But if something really dangerous happens, you can't count on him.

In terms of fighting, the second brother is more powerful.

Wang Xingying hurriedly went out to do this.

Wang Buli was cleaning the house shirtless, and Widow Liu next to the fence fanned herself and said:

"Brother Wang, why are you doing the work yourself today?"

"Be prepared to keep two people at home to take care of the hospital, so that no one comes to cause trouble."

This is not the first conversation between the two. When Wang Buli was resting at home, Widow Liu stood behind the fence and talked to her from time to time. Otherwise, the old father would not know about it, and she was planning to seize the time to say goodbye to her second son. .

Today, Widow Liu is wearing a light green long-sleeved short coat and long skirt, with silver earrings on her ears.

In the fifth year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Yuanzhang issued a new edict that folk women were only allowed to wear purple, green, peach red and other light-colored clothes. Scarlet, crow green, and yellow were not allowed.

Gold, jade, agate, coral, amber and other jewelry cannot be used by common people.

"Brother Wang, you are a capable person after all." Widow Liu praised her, and she was not enough of an official.

How can the county magistrate be in charge?

Due to Wang Buli's status as a neighbor, Widow Liu's house became less open to disputes.

"Qingque is asleep?"

Wang Buli dragged out another piece of furniture that was in disrepair, threw it in the yard, and mentioned it casually.

"Correct."

Without her son by her side, it would be difficult for her to keep this yard.

Widow Liu responded, but her eyes were fixed on Wang Buli's sweaty expression.

Coupled with the masculine muscles, Widow Liu couldn't take her eyes away.

How could any ordinary woman withstand the impact of this young and powerful young man?

I really don’t know which girl Brother Wang will take advantage of in the future.

Somewhat envious!

"Brother Wang, do you want my help?"

Widow Liu waved her fan and asked in a low voice.

"Okay, come over for dinner tonight."

Neighbors helping each other is perfectly normal.

Widow Liu immediately came over happily and helped bring water to wipe the house.

She stared at Wang Buli's muscles as he pulled the cabinet, and even swallowed subconsciously.

After all, Widow Liu has had sex before and has been abstinent for a long time.

The resistance to young men full of male hormones is really poor.

A man who works hard and can do hard work.

What if that energy in my body could be used on me?

oops.

Can't think.

OK. Widow Liu quickly lowered her head and her face turned slightly red.

But she couldn't help but cast her eyes towards Wang Buli's body.

The taut muscles on Wang Buli's body were covered with sweat, and they were crystal clear.

Widow Liu looked at it, wishing she could open her little cherry mouth and take a bite to test the hardness.

There have been tests in which men's eyes always look toward women's breasts unconsciously, and women are no less lustful than men.

Widow Liu's heart was beating very fast.

She subconsciously reached out and pinched the flesh on Wang Buli's arm, and then quickly let go.

"Ok?"

"Brother Wang." Widow Liu said quickly and calmly: "I'll help you wipe away the dust."

"It doesn't matter, I'll just take a shower later."

Widow Liu only dared to take advantage of her. She would never dare to offend Wang Buli, a county official.

Before Wang Buli showed any interest in her, Widow Liu could only keep her thoughts deep in her heart.

If you can get close to Wang Buli, don't talk about the love between men and women.

It would make her life easier in the future, and her son would be more likely to be successful.

Wang Buli didn't want to mess with a widow with a son at all.

Even Dorgon couldn't handle this kind of mother and son. Their corpses had to be dug out and whipped after death, let alone an ordinary man.

If you are a widow with a daughter, that is another matter.

With the help of the woman, the house was quickly cleaned up.

The only drawback is that the room is made of hard soil and is not paved with stone slabs. If there is too much water, there will be yellow mud.

There are many houses like this in Daming.

That is to say, only dignitaries and rich people can decorate their houses well. Ordinary people can ensure that there is no leakage of rain and wind, which is a good house.

After the two single beds were moved in and stones were placed to ensure that the beds would not shake around, Wang Buli paid for them.

He asked Widow Liu and his sister to go out again and buy some food and wine.

When you visit for the first time, you need to give a meal to show your friendship to the landlord.

The two men sent by Li Jinglong were almost fifty years old, and their hair was gray.

He is truly a "veteran" of hundreds of battles.

"I've met Wang Dianli."

The two of them took the initiative to salute, and they did not dare to disobey the young master's instructions.

Wang Buli had already taken a shower and quickly said with a smile:

"Just call me by my name. My young master must have told you that I have some troubles at home recently, and I need to ask you two to take charge.

If anything happens, I hope you two can help me. If nothing happens, just come to my place for a vacation. "

"I will never dare to do my best."

The two were introduced into the house by Wang Buli.

I was overjoyed to find that the inside had been cleaned and still smelled of spices.

Wu Da and He Liu put down their packages, knives and long bows.

As for the armor, they must never pass it on.

Otherwise, it would be unjustifiable for a petty official to hide armor in his home.

Even in Duke Cao's mansion, they wouldn't dare to have too many of those things.

The laws of the Ming Dynasty stipulate that civilians are not allowed to hide weapons privately.

As the saying goes, one armor carries three crossbows, and three armors enter the underworld.

When it was time for dinner, Doctor Wang, as the host, entertained the two of them with all his heart, and they drank wine beautifully.

After the meal, Doctor Wang took the pulse of the two veterans and took care of their bodies to avoid any hidden diseases caused by years of fighting on the battlefield.

Wu Da and He Liu returned to their rooms with great gratitude, feeling that Lao Wang's family was nice.

The father and son stayed in the study to discuss matters.

"Has the matter gotten this serious?"

Doctor Wang drank the hangover soup, and now his mind was very clear.

The eldest brother Wang Guanzhong stared and was so frightened by his father's words that he woke up.

"Just in case, the connections in Cao Guogong's family are not in vain."

Wang Buli sat on the chair and smiled: "This way I can feel more at ease when working outside."

Doctor Wang stroked his beard and thought carefully about his son's words.

"What happened?" Wang Guanzhong lowered his voice: "Could it be that box of gold and purple?"

"Our family has more than one box of gold." Wang Buli patted his eldest brother on the shoulder:

"That's why we have to hire two people to look after the home."

Wang Guanzhong has been going to the drug store a lot recently and applying medicine himself.

At present, the imperial court has no intention of holding imperial examinations, and the examinations below have also been suspended.

Everyone's reading was meaningless, which made Wang Guanzhong extremely depressed.

His classmates were all studying with the prince, and he was a scholar who relied on Emperor Yu En to study in the Imperial College.

So when he was depressed, he would go to the drug store and rub pills. All the depression in his heart would turn into pieces of gold, and he would feel much better.

"Okay, okay, second brother, you are more thoughtful."

Doctor Wang ignored the second son's deliberate change of subject and said, "Be careful when you go out."

"When I go out, someone will follow me. Having a dog at home gives me four extra pairs of ears, so I can give better warnings in the future."

Doctor Wang nodded repeatedly after hearing these words. Dogs' ears are more sensitive and can hear and smell movements that humans cannot detect.

"Okay, let's all rest early."

Doctor Wang waved his hand and began to drive people out. He wanted to think carefully.

As a young man who could survive the Mongols, and as a man who led his family to make a living in the chaotic stage of the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, he was still somewhat scheming.

Wang Buli's behavior of raising dogs and nursing homes really made the school inspector Zhou Baihu and others more intense.

They could no longer record everything that Wang Buli and his family said in detail as before.

Zhou Baihu didn't dare to delay the emperor's secret order. He could only hope that after this period of time passed, the young master would transfer the people back.

With brothers like them here, which daring thief would dare to touch Wang Buli's whole family?

That's going to hurt our whole family of a hundred brothers, and we have to fight you tooth and nail!

After Li Jinglong left Wang Buli, he hurried back to his home, selected two veterans of hundreds of battles and told them to listen to Wang Buli's instructions, then changed his clothes and went to the imperial city to meet the emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang still paid attention to his "white glove" among the people.

I took time out of my busy schedule to meet him.

He was really in a bad mood today.

The prince was also in a bad mood.

Li Jinglong has grown up, and this is the first time he has seen both his father and his son looking bad.

He could only speculate on the counterfeit banknotes. Are His Majesty and the Crown Prince dissatisfied with me for not catching the counterfeit banknote gang?

Li Jinglong quickly told Wang Buli his idea.

Zhu Yuanzhang has not yet promulgated the law of knowing Ding, but he has also set the standard that except for scholars, peasants, industrialists, and merchants, all are Yifu.

The "four people system" composed of scholars, farmers, industry and merchants is a concept from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, people's livelihood occupations have been diversified.

Occupations such as waitresses (called Xianzao in the Northern Song Dynasty), male waiters (called Sibo in the Northern Song Dynasty), dentists, actors, painters, playwrights, nursing homes, and writing letters and petitions are not included in the category of "four people".

When the imperial power decided to restart the "Four People System" that existed thousands of years ago with the harsh law of knowing people, those Hongwu people who did not make a living within the scope of the "Four People" had no choice but to change their ways and choose another career.

One can imagine how difficult it is for people who originally made a living by serving tea and water, singing and writing operas, painting and calligraphy to suddenly be forced to switch careers to farm land or work as craftsmen.

No matter how difficult it is, it is hard to disobey the general trend of changing one's career and changing one's career. Otherwise, one will be reported and sent away by the neighborhood manager and neighbors.

After all, if the neighborhood chief and neighbors don't report the matter, they will bear the risk of being imprisoned together. ,

Few local officials dare to ignore such reports.

What should a Hongwu citizen do if he does not want to change his career (or is unable to change his career) and become one of the "four people", but also does not want to be reported and sent away by the village chief and neighbors?

There is only one way.

That is self-harm.

The Zhiding Law neither allowed people to move freely nor choose their jobs freely (the prerequisite for free choice of jobs was free movement), and also used severe punishments to force neighbors to monitor and report each other.

Lao Zhu can let you be a free man?

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, Wang Buli had one good idea after another, which was really good.

There are greedy people and mediocre people hiding everywhere in the Ming Empire, so they must be converted into four people.

Anyone who dared to stab him would have his head chopped off to show the public.

In this way, there will be no people like him (Zhu Yuanzhang) in Ming Dynasty, and there will be no possibility of rebellion.

You can't connect them in series even if you want to, and this will achieve Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose of being in power.

"This is inappropriate."

Zhu Biao was the first to stand up and object: "Yifu's scope is too broad.

Since the gangs that make counterfeit money mostly select beggars that no one cares about, then just blow the beggars out of the city and resettle them.

Otherwise, the waiters and cooks who serve in the shops, and even the prostitutes, turtle masters and other common people who make a living in Ye Qinhuai's house will all be kicked out, which will make the people's livelihood miserable. "

Zhu Biao was arguing. Li Jinglong meant to drive away the refugees on the street. Ye Qinhuai and those people were all lowly.

They do not deserve to be called a people.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses. In fact, he really thought Wang Buli's idea was a good one.

Li Jinglong didn't dare to say that he came up with such a bastard idea.

No one knows anyway.

Let's just push it towards Wang Buli.

As long as he succeeds, Wang Buli, a small official, will definitely fall into His Majesty's eyes.

I will definitely be reused in the future, and he will definitely thank me.

I can be regarded as supporting you. If you, Wang Buli, want to express your gratitude in the future, just set up a table at Shengchun Tower.

Zhu Biao called Li Jinglong by his nickname:

"Jiujiang, it's useless for you to know allusions and allusions. How can you be so confused?"
