Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 162 162 He even said coquettishly that he would treat me to some sugar water.

The Minister of Rites, Zhang Shanjian, and the Prime Minister all said this, and he immediately expressed his opinion:

"What Xiang Hu said is true, and besides, they are barbarians.

Even if we kill people, it is our Ming culture that should influence them and make them sincerely convinced.

Instead of not reporting it to the emperor, he directly arrested people to cause trouble, which was inconsistent with etiquette and not conducive to the diplomacy of a major country!

What do the other envoys think of my Ming Dynasty with this kind of behavior of the Prince Consort?

Doesn't this go against His Majesty's original intention of peaceful coexistence with foreign countries? "

Zhang Shan believes that Ming Dynasty must not be vulgar when doing things.

It must be done in accordance with etiquette in order to promote that our country, Ming Dynasty, is a cultured and orthodox people, instead of being like the barbarians on the border.

The words of the Minister of Rites made Zhu Biao frown.

He was just dissatisfied that Wang Buli did not notify his uncle in advance and took the decision to arrest people on his own.

But Zhang Shan's words, in Zhu Biao's view, were just to make excuses for Ryukyu's envoys. They could kill people wantonly when they came to Ming Dynasty.

This was the reason for his frown.

No matter who you are, you cannot kill people at will in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Zhu Biao's brothers have not yet gone to various feudal countries, so Zhu Biao has not yet had the experience of dealing with the misbehavior of his anthropomorphic brothers.

Zhu Yuanzhang also attached great importance to the Ryukyu Kingdom.

There are three countries in this place smaller than a pellet, and they all come to pay tribute.

And they can also report some news about Japanese pirates to Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen and other dissatisfied people went to sea and became pirates. From time to time, they colluded with Japanese pirates to counterattack the mainland.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't pay attention to this group of people, but he was tired of their behavior.

The Maritime Silk Road was already very mature during the Song and Yuan Dynasties.

The handicraft industries in Southeast Asian countries, Japan, Ryukyu, and Korea are extremely backward, and they have a large demand for Chinese handicraft products.

If Zhu Yuanzhang continued to develop overseas trade and encourage people to go overseas for business during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the socio-economic designation of the Ming Dynasty would not be short of money because the court could not collect taxes, and the soldiers would all go to Huang Taiji to receive military pay.

But when Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, his first thought was to maintain his rule.

The cancellation of trade was also to prevent domestic and foreign forces from colluding with each other and endangering Zhu Yuanzhang's rule of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the wealthy landowners in Jiangnan miss Dayuan's rule very much.

Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that after people from Jiangnan went to sea, they would go everywhere to collude with the remaining forces of Dayuan.

The Mongols dared to sail on expeditions.

The tribute trade of the Ming Dynasty controlled overseas trade. In the fourth year of Hongwu, it was stipulated that people living near the sea were prohibited from going to sea.

This imposed an economic blockade on Japan and strengthened coastal defense, but it also cut off its overseas trade.

But he also wanted to sell some luxury goods and spices overseas to rich people to earn more money, which naturally led to the tribute trade.

This kind of trade controlled by the state is inherently characterized by unequal exchange, buying low and selling high.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang's first consideration was political factors, not economic factors.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's losses in giving rewards were indeed relatively large.

Tributary countries could either take overseas rare treasures as luxury goods and sell them at high prices to the Ming Dynasty, or they could bring back ordinary low-priced goods from the Ming Dynasty and sell them as luxury goods at high prices in their own countries.

They always earn double portions and eat two ends when they come.

But Zhu Yuanzhang also had a biting temper and did not want to suffer losses all the time.

Therefore, he would also ask them to pay tribute together, taking the opportunity to introduce a large number of overseas items at the same time, thereby lowering the price. He would act as a middleman, reselling them to merchants, so as to obtain higher profits.

But Lao Zhu is good at conquering the world, but he really doesn't understand economics.

Although his operation could maintain the tribute trade for a long time, it was not suitable for the development of the Ming Dynasty's commodity economy.

On the contrary, it brought many disadvantages, causing Ming Dynasty to have a trade deficit and causing considerable financial losses.

The outflow of silk from the Ming Dynasty was very normal, but the Ming court could not make much money, and all the money was taken away by the tributary countries.

Such a trade deficit caused a large amount of copper coins and silver, which were already not wealthy, to flow out of the country, making the Ming Dynasty even more short of money.

When your Ming Dynasty has transactions with these envoys, they don't recognize any Ming Dynasty treasure money, and they can't spend it at all in their own country.

The most important thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang did not collect taxes from these people, just to expand Ming's overseas influence and coexist peacefully with overseas countries.

Now that something like this happened, it obviously went against his original intention.

However, since it was inappropriate for Hu Weiyong to say something, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately followed the words of the Minister of Rites and said:

"What Zhang Shan said is reasonable, but it is indeed inconsistent with etiquette."

Zhang Shan quickly bowed.

"Biao'er, you will go to the county government office tomorrow with Hu Weiyong and Zhang Shan for trial."

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished his instructions, he asked everyone to go home and rest.

"Your Majesty, should the envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom be imprisoned?"

"He killed someone, what happened to Guan Yiguan?"

On the other hand, Prince Zhu Biao scolded Zhang Shan.

Zhang Shan, the Minister of Rites, did not dare to say anything.

Hu Weiyong and Zhang Shan retreated directly.

"Dad, what about this?"

"Don't worry about it, we just want to see how to deal with that boy Wang Buli."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and moved around for a while before continuing to review the memorial. In fact, he was waiting for news from the school inspection.

After Wang Buli took people back to the county government office, he called Tian Liugen:

"Put these bastards in separate jails. Say hello to the prisoners and give the new ones a little more strength tonight. It's best not to see the injuries caused by the beatings and not to kill them."

Tian Liugen raised his head and glanced at Wang Buli, but he didn't expect him to know all this.

"I don't need to say anything more, right?"

"Don't worry, Fourth Master, I can still handle this little thing."

Tian Liugen waved his hand, and the guards took the prisoners and put them directly into the cells according to the number.

Wang Buli also arranged for the three witnesses to prepare bunks and asked them to stay at the county government office.

The three villagers in Yong'an Village admire Wang Buli, the great master of Qingtian, and are polite to officials who are senior to him.

Wang Buli also asked the kitchen to arrange cold noodles. The brothers worked hard to prepare a bite today, and tomorrow they will buy some meat to make a tooth sacrifice.

Everyone was happy again.

Ever since Wang Buli became the official, everyone has been making tooth sacrifices frequently.

Life is much better than before.

Wang Buli simply stopped going home and stayed at Dianshi Yamen.

Sun Jiusheng, the co-worker, brought up the cover-up report. There was human flesh and blood in the woman's nails, and there was also male fluid in her perineum.

"Fourth Master, there are wounds on the murderer's body caused by the woman's scratches."

Wang Buli didn't think about this kind of DNA identification technology anymore. He just nodded and told him to rest.

"Tian Liugen, go and strip that guy named Zuoqiu naked. Doesn't he like to play with force? Arrange a few lustful men for him."

Tian Liugen reacted for a while, and when he saw Wang Buli fiddling with his gestures, he suddenly realized, and he quickly bowed and said, "Yes, I'll go and make arrangements."

It is not enough for rich and powerful bureaucrats to play with female prostitutes, and they even want to play with male prostitutes in a whimsical way.

This phenomenon has existed since ancient times, and the emperors of the old Liu family had experienced it frequently, not to mention the people below.

In the Ming Dynasty, male prostitution was prevalent only in big cities.

It just so happened that the capital of Yingtianfu was a big city.

Zuoqiu Hidetada, the envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom, was the wife-brother of the most powerful king of the Zhongshan Kingdom. He was usually arrogant and arrogant, and he was even more courageous.

He really didn't expect that this bullshit Dianshi would actually arrest him in front of the Ming Dynasty's Minister of Etiquette.

Now he was stripped naked again and thrown into a smelly prison, and there were also a group of smiling prisoners.

It was late at night before Zhu Yuanzhang received the complete information from the inspection school.

It records the whole process from Wang Buli receiving the report to arresting the person.

After Zhu Yuanzhang read it by candlelight, he took off his glasses and pinched his forehead:

"It will pull everyone onto the pirate ship."

Because in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, every operation of Wang Buli had a profound meaning, which was to prevent anyone from saying that his evidence was fake.

When an exhibit was found, it was registered in a register and everyone present was asked to sign. In this aspect, the opportunity for him to retract his confession was blocked.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with Wang Buli's operation, but he wanted to see if Hu Weiyong would use this matter to cause trouble.

The chess piece Wang Guangyang was dead, and the restless chess piece Wang Buli jumped out, which greatly satisfied Zhu Yuanzhang.

The court cannot be a stagnant water, which is not conducive to Zhu Yuanzhang's realization of his own ambitions. It will take time to abolish the prime minister system that has lasted for two thousand years.

Early the next morning, Wang Buli went out to have breakfast and started practicing his sword skills when he came back.

After returning yesterday, Jiang Huan had already written all the documents and sent them to the county magistrate.

Wu Wei had no idea at all that Wang Buli had captured an envoy from a small barbarian country, so he just arrested him.

He is the son-in-law of the emperor, why should he stop this?

If he had really stopped him, he would have stopped him on the spot, and he would not have been dragged to prison by Wang Buli. Wu Wei looked at Wang Buli practicing his sword skills: "Buli, what are you going to do about this?"

"Follow the normal procedures, but I guess it involves foreign envoys, and the court will send someone down for a first trial."

Wang Buli put down the knife in his hand, took the sweat towel from Jiang Huan and wiped his sweat.

"Well, so good."

Wu Wei also understands this kind of case. Since he took over Jiangning County, he has never experienced such a cruel case.

The envoy from the Ryukyu Kingdom was indeed a barbarian. Do you really think he could do this at home, but would he still be lawless in the Ming Dynasty?

"However, I have sent the memorial to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for review. There are both witnesses and physical evidence in this case, and there is no room for overturning the verdict."

When the two of them said this, they saw Zhang Shan, the Minister of Rites, arriving first. After the two parties met:

"Prince-in-law, you didn't do any torture and interrogation last night, did you?"

"No." Wang Buli wiped his sweat and glanced at Zhang Shan:

"I don't like to work overtime. Everyone should be sober when trying cases during the day."

"That's good."

Zhang Shan touched his beard and said that the case had been handed over to Prime Minister Hu for trial, and the prince was in attendance. It was a matter of foreign ministers and should not be careless.

Hu Weiyong came with Zhu Biao.

Everyone is here at Dianshi Yamen.

Hu Weiyong sat in the main seat, while the others sat sideways.

Hu Weiyong first called all the people from Ryukyu and asked according to Wang Buli's case file, and many accomplices also admitted.

Wu Zuo and three villagers from Yong'an Village went to court separately, and even the evidence was laid out.

Zhang Shan's face was extremely ugly. The Ministry of Rites was also responsible for what happened to the state's envoy.

Finally, Hu Weiyong called the prisoner Zuoqiu Xiuzhong in, but he was dragged in by the jailer.

Zuoqiu Xiuzhong lay on the ground and screamed that he was being tortured by several men.

Hu Weiyong raised his eyebrows slightly, and Zhu Biao's eyes widened, not knowing what to say.

Zhang Shan even pulled out his own beard. Is this what happened to Wang Buli because he didn't use torture?

Hu Weiyong slapped the gavel, looked at Wang Buli and said, "Wang Dianshi, as the prison supervisor, you don't report the prisoner for doing such a thing?"

"Hey, Mr. Hu, this is wrong." Wang Buli sat on a chair and said quickly:

"As the prime minister, you work in the palace, so why don't you stay in the imperial city every night?"

Wang Buli made Hu Weiyong speechless. Before he could speak, Wang Buli said:

"Prime Minister Hu, you are not as good as me in trying cases. Some criminals will do anything to get out of their crimes. You can't just accept one side of the word."

Zhu Biao remained silent when he heard Wang Buli actively attacking Hu Weiyong.

He had already received Zhu Yuanzhang's advice, so he didn't bring his mouth with him today.

"Bring in the prisoners who live with you."

Hu Weiyong took a moment. He knew that there was nothing that could be changed in the case, but new facts emerged, so he could do something about it.

"Little Jin San has met the master."

Jin San quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Did you rape this person yesterday?"

Hu Weiyong did not have the elegance of a scholar-bureaucrat, and at this time he just found it disgusting for men to get together.

"Master, the little one must never dare."

Jin San immediately shrank and kowtowed like pounding garlic:

"He was the one who seduced me first!"

"Nonsense." Zuoqiu Xiuzhong's face changed with expressions of anger, shame and anger.

Jin San immediately revealed everything he said: "He even said coquettishly that when he went out, he would treat me to some sugar water.

This man also promised to give me one hundred taels of silver. This was necessary before he could perform a bitter trick and get out of prison.

The young man has never seen one tael of silver in his life, let alone one hundred taels.

He also gave a jade pendant as a deposit, so the young genius was fascinated and obeyed him.

Mr. Qingtian Mingjian, I really don’t like men. "

Then a few lines of tears immediately flowed from Jin San's face.

After Jin San finished speaking, Zuoqiu Xiuzhong became furious and endured the severe pain in his buttocks:

"You fart!"

Hu Weiyong and others were dumbfounded, because he found that the people in the prison were so damn interesting in what they said, and they didn't even want to lose any face.

Zhu Biao covered the corner of his mouth with his right hand. He never expected that Wang Buli would pull off such a trick.

Can't laugh!

No matter how funny the experience of the Ryukyu Kingdom envoy is, it cannot be laughed at.

This is an issue related to the image of the Ming Prince.

Zhu Biao clenched his fist with his other hand and tried hard to control the expression on his face.

Trial case.

You have to be serious.

He glanced at Wang Buli and saw that he looked like he was about to collapse without changing his expression. He nodded secretly. It seemed that he was well prepared.

But just as Zhu Biao was about to look away, he found Wang Buli suddenly patting the chair and laughing.

Then the county magistrate Wu Wei couldn't stand it anymore. He really didn't expect that there were such talents in the prison.

Where were Wang Buli excavated from?

Could it be that he didn't pay much attention to the people in prison in the past, and Wang Buli renovated the prison when he came up, and he discovered this.

"Hahaha."

After someone started laughing, the government officials acting as "bailiffs" on both sides couldn't stand it anymore. Laughter, like yawning, is extremely contagious.

Especially when some people are suppressing laughter, no one has received professional training.

They're all his motherfuckers.

Even Hu Weiyong, the presiding judge, laughed and patted the crowd to silence them.

Zuoqiu Hidetada, the leader of the Ryukyu Kingdom, laughed when he heard this, as if tens of thousands of arrows were shot in his body, and he died on the spot.

He was forced to do so in the first place, and felt extremely aggrieved.

Now he is the one asking for it!

Wang Buli looked at the sad and angry look on Zuoqiu Xiuzhong's face and sneered, "Do you think it doesn't matter if you bully that desperate honest couple to death?"

Now let me give you a taste of it too.

As the mastermind, Wang Buli naturally knew how unjust he was in wrongly accusing Zuoqiu Xiuzhong!

Zuoqiu Xiuzhong screamed and beat his hands on the ground, with a ferocious look on his face, shouting:

"I'm going to kill you!"

"Kill you all!"

Of course, the local Ryukyuan dialect suddenly came out, and no one understood it.

It can be said that Zuoqiu Xiuzhong was immediately defeated.

Hu Weiyong slapped the gavel hard again:

"Zuoqiu Xiuzhong, you killed and raped Yu Sheng and Zhang's wife from Yong'an Village. The evidence is conclusive, but what do you have to say?"

"They are all untouchables and deserve to die. I am not wrong, I am not guilty!"

Because the Ryukyu envoy began not to speak Chinese, Zhang Shan, the Minister of Rites, could not understand what he was talking about.

Hu Weiyong asked people to take all the prisoners in the Ryukyu Kingdom to the imperial city.

This matter involves Fanbang, and His Majesty must make the final decision.

In fact, everyone present, except Wang Buli, felt that the death of two Ming people was not a big deal.

One day no one will die.

But keep the overall situation in mind!

Wang Buli watched the group of people walk away in a hurry, and he continued to practice his sword skills. This case should be considered over.

But if something doesn't happen unexpectedly, then it will definitely happen.

After arriving at the palace, Zuoqiu Xiuzhong began to cry, saying that he had been abused by the Ming Dynasty and that the murder was caused by anger.

He made an agreement with the woman about money, but during the process, the woman said that she would pay more, otherwise she would sue the government, and then he panicked and killed the person.

This happened because he encountered the great Ming Immortal Tiao Na.

All of his servants were mistreated by the Ming Dynasty jailers before they cheated, and he was also treated inhumanely, so he asked the emperor of the heaven to make the decision for him.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to laugh when he heard these remarks. He just touched his beard and pretended to be thinking as usual.

Zhang Shan, the Minister of Rites, immediately said: "Your Majesty, after all, the small foreign countries have just taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty. They do not understand the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and there are reasons for the incident. It is better to give a lighter punishment to show the style of our great country.

Moreover, the leader of the Ryukyu Kingdom has been raped by my Ming prisoner. Even if he is punished, he will never dare to do it again in the future. "

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and looked at Hu Weiyong again: "Hu Xiang, what do you think?"
