Chapter 55

Ying Tianfu.

Something happened in the past two days, which made people in the streets and alleys, teahouses and restaurants talk a lot.

That's when Jiaofangsi's infidelity was exposed.

In addition to buying and selling those poor girls from good families, Jiaosifang actually dared to secretly sell official prostitutes.

Although official prostitutes are protected by law, they can't resist the filthy hearts of the powerful. Those who can enjoy the banquet served by official prostitutes are all famous people.

Therefore, some noble children often collude with the officials of the Jiaofang Division, report the death of a sudden illness to the official prostitute they like, and remove them from the list of the Jiaofang Division, but privately forcefully take them home to ecstasy.

From Fengluan to the servants below, they were all washed by Jin Yiwei.

The matter has not been expanded, because once it is investigated, there are too many people involved...

Huang Xiongying was quite surprised by this incident.

Because he just mentioned it briefly to the old man, Emperor Hongwu handled it so quickly.

You must know that Emperor Hongwu is truly capable of everything.

He is the most diligent emperor in history.

According to historical records, from September 17th to September 21st, Hongwu 1160th, a total of eight days, how many documents did Emperor Hongwu process?It is scary to say it, that is: officials from all over the country submitted 3391 memorials, and reported a total of [-] things!
As a result, Emperor Hongwu took care of everything in a daze.

Based on 1160 documents and 1000 words per document, the total is 116 million words.In other words, Zhu Yuanzhang had to deal with 14.5 words every day.Moreover, when Zhu Yuanzhang processed documents, he did not just write, but also thought about how to deal with them, and also dealt with ministers' reports, etc., which took a lot of time.

Even if an average of 100 characters were approved for each memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang had to write 1.45 characters every day.

What is the concept of 1.45 words?
Even today, the ceiling of a full-time web writer is roughly the same!

Speaking of which, at this very moment, the cock crowing emperor was reviewing the memorial in Fengtian Hall.

"How's it going?"

While looking at the memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Jiang Yu who was standing respectfully in front of him.

"Go back to the emperor, check it out!"

Jiang Yu replied respectfully.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't lift his eyelids, and said a word lightly: "Say."

Jiang Yu replied: "The little girl is from Dingyuan, her surname is Tang, her father's name is Tang Jingye, and her grandfather...is the Marquis of Yan'an, Tang Shengzong!"

"what?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback for a moment, slowly put down the memorial in his hand, and whispered incredulously: "How could it be such a coincidence?"

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "Then how did they come to the capital?"

Jiang Yu replied: "After the Tang family was expelled, the three sons fled to avoid disaster. Tang Jingye took his daughter to Huaiyin first. It was rumored that he was killed, but he was not dead. Then he fled to the capital. He was already infected. Seriously ill, and because of poverty and fear of revealing his identity, he died of illness in the capital!"

"Hey--"

Zhu Yuanzhang held his forehead and sighed lightly.

"No wonder..."

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed softly: "No wonder the little girl didn't say anything. It seems that her father taught her, and she is also a poor child..."

"Okay, you go back first!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Yu cupped his hands, then bowed his body and retreated.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, looked out of the window, and whispered slowly: "Grandson, our hands are covered with blood, so that your hands are clean, and you will be a holy king praised by future generations..."

……

Kaifeng Mansion, School Field.

Under the command of Tie Xuan, several groups of people went to their posts with knives and guns.

Soldiers stood around the school grounds.

Numerous disaster victims gathered around, crowded and watching.

At the top of the school field, Li Jinglong sat with a serious expression.

Tie Xuan and Xia Yuanji are separated from each other.

Standing below were a group of trembling grain merchants with their heads down.

"Are they all here?"

Li Jinglong finally spoke lightly.

Tie Xuan immediately cupped his hands and stepped forward, saying: "Go back to Master Li, we're all here!"

Li Jinglong nodded, then stood up, the iron armor on his body creaked, and a long knife hung from his waist. Li Jinglong never forgot that he was a military commander.

In front of a group of grain merchants, Li Jinglong paced slowly, glanced around, and suddenly smiled and said:
"Don't be nervous, I invite you to come today, I still want to discuss with you the problem from last time, buy food at a fair price, do you have any opinions?"

All the grain merchants looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke.

"very good!"

Li Jinglong nodded and said: "Since you are not willing to sell, then forget it, come and send them back!"

The faces of the grain merchants, which had already been miserable, were even more sallow at this time.

Their home has long been occupied by the victims, and if they are sent back like this, they will have to be eaten alive by the victims.

When the crowd of onlookers heard this, there was also a commotion.

"Wait!"

Finally, a grain merchant stood up and said, "I'll sell it!"

If one stands out, there will be a second one.

"I sell!"

A group of grain merchants finally stood up and sold grain at a low price. In fact, they didn't lose money, but they didn't earn that much.

"very good!"

Li Jinglong nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Purchase food at a fair price, and trade fairly. The emperor and the court did not bully you. This matter is over, but one yard is worth one yard!"

All the grain merchants were startled.

I just heard Li Jinglong say: "In the face of the national crisis, maliciously driving up grain prices and making huge profits, if you volunteer to donate grain, maybe this governor can make up for it for you, but now that this governor has bought the grain, you There is no such opportunity!"

Swish!
Hearing this, the faces of all the grain merchants turned pale.

They finally reacted and begged for mercy.

"No, Lord Li!"

"We don't sell anymore, we donate!"

"That's right, we don't want money from the imperial court. I would like to pledge a donation. Please forgive me, my lord!"

"..."

"late!"

Li Jinglong glanced at the panic-stricken grain merchants, and said coldly: "Come on, take them all down, put them in prison, and after the crimes are found out, they will be released at another day!"

"what……"

"No, no..."

All the grain merchants were trembling, and some of them were lacking in character, and they collapsed to the ground...

The crowd of disaster victims around the school gave out earth-shattering cheers...

……

Prince Qi's Mansion, lobby.

The prefect Jia Shaozu hurried over.

"My lord, it's too bad, Li Jinglong has arrested all the grain merchants!"

Jia Shaozu was furious, and said while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Because his younger brother Jia Zheng was also arrested.

Zhu Bo was much calmer, but his face was a little gloomy. After taking a sip of tea, he said, "This king knows."

"Then... what do we do now?"

Jia Shaozu looked anxious.

"Then what do you say?" Zhu Bo asked back.

"I... I just don't know, so I came to ask you!"

Jia Shaozu's face was wrinkled into a bitter gourd, and he said, "Didn't you say that the troops should stand still, and if they rob it like this, there will be riots? But...but now they have taken away the food and arrested people. Sing praises!"

"Are you blaming me?" Zhu Bo's face darkened suddenly.

"Your official, I dare not!"

Jia Shaozu replied obediently.

Zhu Bo didn't go to see Jia Shaozu, but stood up, looked out the door, and said quietly: "I didn't expect the old man to come out like this. The real purpose of inciting the victims to make trouble is not to grab grain, but to force grain merchants to sell it." Grain, after the imperial court bought the grain, the backhand is to catch the grain merchant, which is really a good trick!"

"Now that the imperial court has food in its hands, and has filled the victims' hatred for the grain merchants, who would dare to rescue them?"

"Anyway, this king doesn't dare, if you dare, go and get them!"

After King Qi finished speaking, he went slowly to the back room.

Only Jia Shaozu was left standing on the spot in a daze...

……

"Hahaha--"

There was a burst of hearty laughter in Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the folder in his hand, and all the wrinkles on his face melted away.

"Look, look!"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised the booklet in his hand to Fu Youde, and said with a smile: "This is the idea of ​​our eldest grandson, and it solved the problem in the disaster area at once. This is a great achievement, haha——"

"The grandson of the emperor solved it?"

Fu Youde showed a look of surprise.

"Ah."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded proudly, and said with a smile: "Our grandson is really a talent for governing the world!"

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang perfected Huang Xiongying's method. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang added it when all these profiteers were arrested and interrogated later, but he didn't say it.

Fu Youde hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "I congratulate Your Majesty, you have a great grandson!"

"Ha ha--"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, with unconcealable pride in his brows.

"This time our eldest grandson has made a great contribution, let's think about how to give our eldest grandson a good reward!"

Zhu Yuanzhang held his chin and began to think with great interest.

But at this moment, Eunuch An walked in lightly and whispered a few words in Zhu Yuanzhang's ear.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyebrows gradually sank.

"Let's go and have a look!"

With that said, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and strode towards the university hall.

The Great Hall, where Huang Ming Zhu's family studied.

The princes and grandsons of the old Zhu family read books here, including the old prince Zhu Biao, as well as the kings of Qin, Jin, Yan and other princes who have already become feudal vassals.

They are also read here.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no books to read when he was a child, so he wanted to let his descendants read more books and make up for what he lost.

Nowadays, those sons and grandchildren who have not yet entered the feudal clan are studying in the university hall.

Near the university hall, what I heard was not the sound of reading, but a burst of noise.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help frowning, and walked up quickly.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw several princes beating and kicking a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child. The child curled up in a corner, holding his head in his hands.

The teachers next to me looked helpless...

"stop!"

Zhu Yuanzhang let out a loud roar, which made the princes stop instantly, looked back, lowered their heads quickly, and stood aside.

But Yiwang Zhu (yí), who was only four years old, was still holding a small wooden stick and rushed towards the boy who was being beaten...

"Zhu!"

Zhu Yuanzhang yelled in anger, and Zhu was so frightened that he burst into tears.

Zhu Yuanzhang's fertility is definitely one of the best among the emperors of all dynasties. Under the heavy government affairs, Zhu Yuanzhang gave birth to more than forty children.

Almost sixty, Zhu Yuanzhang also gave birth to several sons.

You must know that in this era, people who are 50 years old and above have to call themselves old.

Seeing Shen Wang Zhu Mo, Tang Wang Zhu Gong, An Wang Zhu Ying and other ten-year-old princes standing aside with their heads bowed, Zhu Yuanzhang blushed with anger.

These princes, one by one, jump up and down on weekdays, and there is no time to be honest.

If it was 20 years earlier, Zhu Yuanzhang would have smashed their butts. He had very strict requirements on the first batch of princes such as Zhu Biao, Zhu Yu, and Zhu Fang. There is pampering.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect these children to be able to govern the country in the future and charge for the country, and most of their biological mothers were not from high backgrounds, so he just wanted to let them be rich and idle kings.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang's affairs became more and more later, and he often turned a blind eye to their stubbornness.

But unexpectedly, these princes actually fought in the university hall today!
"Xiao'er, stand up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the boy curled up in the corner and said.

The boy was naturally the third son of Zhu Biao, the crown prince of Yiwen, and Zhu Yunxie, the legitimate son who was born in the same belly as Zhu Xiongying.

"stand up!"

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi didn't stand up, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help shouting sharply.

Zhu Yunxi's thin body trembled slightly, then slowly got up from the ground, lowered his head, wiped his tears with both hands, and sobbed softly.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked around, and finally grabbed the teaching ruler from Huang Zicheng's hand, and handed it to Zhu Yunxi.

"Take it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang let out a drink, and then Zhu Yunxi took it nonchalantly.

"Whoever hit you just now, go and call us back!"

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Yunxi subconsciously raised his tear-stained face, glanced at the majestic Zhu Yuanzhang, and quickly lowered his head.

Zhu Yuanzhang got angry when he saw it, and couldn't help shouting: "Don't you understand what we say? We order you to call back!"

Only then did Zhu Yunxi turn around slowly, and walked up to King Shen Zhu Mo and other princes standing side by side. The hand holding the ruler was shaking all the time, but he still couldn't lift it up.

"Fight!"

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth, couldn't help walking over, grabbed Zhu Yunxie's hand holding the square, and slapped Zhu Mo's body hard...

Where did Zhu Mo and the others dare to dodge, they screamed in pain.

After fighting for a while, seeing that Zhu Yunxi still didn't dare to do it himself, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but flicked his sleeves, pointed at Zhu Yunxi and cursed:
"You, you, why did our old Zhu's family give birth to such a cowardly child like you!"

After scolding, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed helplessly when he saw Zhu Yunxi lowering his head, pointed at Zhu Mo and the others, and said, "You wait, I'll deal with you later!"

As he said that, Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Yunxi's little hand: "You, come with Grandpa Huang!"

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang led Zhu Yunxi away.

Looking at the back of the old and the young, Zhu Yunqi, who had been watching quietly, couldn't help showing a playful smile on his face...
