Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 507 There’s Something I’ve Never Seen Again

"So it is."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked like he suddenly realized it, but it was still late, I was surprised.

Even if it is a holiday, the problem is that these people are too rich, right?

When he was in Yingtian Mansion, it was not like Zhu Yuanzhang had never been outside.In addition, he himself comes from a poor family.

I actually know very well what kind of life the poor people can live.

But everything that happened here in Yanjing City completely subverted Lao Zhu's three views.

Of course Zhu Yuanzhang knew what Zhu Han's territory was like.

His biggest goal now is to allow all the people in the Ming Dynasty to live like the people in Zhu Han's fiefdom.

If everything he saw today was in Zhu Han's territory, it would be nothing.

After all, everything there was started from scratch, and Zhu Han did it bit by bit himself.

However, this is Yanjing.

Strength is complex and various interests are entangled.

If Lao Zhu does it himself, he has only one way.

kill!

All those who are disobedient and those with ulterior motives will be killed.

They were scared until they were killed and took their positions.

But Zhu Yuanzhang also knew one thing, once he did this.

Of course, those people would not dare to do anything too extreme.

But at the same time, those officials will be like frightened birds and will not take the initiative to do anything.

Even if it was an order from His Majesty the Emperor, these people would only crack a whip and move.

It is simply impossible to build Yanjing City so dynamic.

In fact, what surprised Zhu Yuanzhang the most was the state of these people.

The people on the other side of Yingtian City were at the feet of the capital.

Life was indeed going pretty well.

But ordinary people will never spend money casually like the people here in Yanjing.

Although it seems that people in the capital are indeed richer.

There are also a lot of people spending money in places like teahouses and theater troupes.

But the problem is that most of those who are willing to spend money are not the lowest class of people.

Beijing.

The most indispensable thing is those dignitaries.

Although these people will not go to those small teahouses on the street to spend money.

But don't forget, they also have relatives, some of whom have distant bloodlines. Although they are relatively poor, they can more or less rely on their connections.

Another group of people who cannot be ignored are the various servants in their house.

There were even many eunuchs in the palace.

In short, these people cannot be regarded as ordinary people who do things purely.

Those real people are not willing to spend their money on such a place.

I work hard to earn some money every year. Basically, as long as I can save money, I save it carefully.

And even more, the money they earn is just enough to survive.

Wanting to save money is simply wishful thinking.

Other emperors may not understand how the real people at the bottom live their lives.

However, Lao Zhuna really understood.

After all, he has truly experienced these hard times.

The more this happened, the more shocked Lao Zhu was.

"I really don't know how Qi Wu did it." Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh.

While eating the soup cake, Queen Ma said with a smile: "No matter how you do it, for our Ming Dynasty, it's still the same, isn't it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was annoyed and gave Queen Ma a roll of his eyes: "Is this what we mean? We want Yingtian Mansion and the people of the Ming Dynasty all over the world to live like this."

"You said this is strange. How did this kid Qiwu do it?"

"Although when I came to Yanjing in July [-]th, we had already handed over all the profits from Japan to him."

"But before that, the money from Japan still belongs to the imperial court."

"We have done a lot with that money, right? But after using so much money, the lives of the people of Ming Dynasty don't seem to have changed much."

"Look at Yanjing City again. Now we don't even dare to recognize it."

"Even if the imperial court distributes money every day, those people should not dare to spend money so carelessly."

Empress Ma shook her head helplessly: "I don't understand this. You'd better ask Qi Wu yourself. But I also think it would be great if people all over the world could live like this."

"Look at those people, how happy they are smiling."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked in the direction that Queen Ma said. A dark-skinned man was placing a child carved in pink and jade that looked like a porcelain doll on his neck.

In the other hand, there was a rattle.

During the shaking, the rattle made a thump-dong-dong sound, making the little baby who looked only two or three years old clap his hands excitedly.

Beside the man, there was a not-so-pretty woman complaining to him: "Stop playing around and put it down quickly. What should I do if I fall?"

What he said sounded like a complaint, but his tone was full of doting.

And such people are everywhere on this road.

Seeing the happy and satisfied smiles of these people, Zhu Yuanzhang felt extremely relieved.

Wasn't the biggest reason why he joined the rebel army that he couldn't survive anymore?
If there were days like this before, it would have been impossible for him to rebel.

And after so many years, Zhu Yuanzhang has already understood one thing.

In the beginning, it was definitely the kid Qi Wu who was trying to trick him into having to join the rebel army.

Otherwise, he was staying well in Huangjue Temple, how could something happen suddenly?

Moreover, the people of Yanjing are not only rich, but the public security here is also very good.

It doesn’t mean that there are no bad people here in Yanjing.

After Lao Zhu and Queen Ma had dinner, they had just walked out when they heard someone screaming: "Catch the thief!"

Lao Zhu looked sideways and found an old woman pointing in one direction and shouting anxiously.

In front of him, a man with a ferocious expression holding a package roared: "Get out of here, or don't blame me for being rude."

Faced with such disciples who would dare to rob other people's finances under the blue sky, most people would naturally choose to compete for the first time.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't stand this kind of thing, so he loosened the reins of the donkey and prepared to capture the gangster.

Although Lao Zhu is not young now, his body is actually quite good.

Even though the man who robbed on the street seemed to be relatively strong, Zhu Yuanzhang was not afraid at all.But just when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to take action, two people suddenly rushed out from the crowd.

These two men were very skilled and in the blink of an eye they pinned the bandit who was robbing him on the street to the ground.

"Boy, you are very talented. You dare to cause trouble on my land. I have been watching you for a long time. Let's see where you go this time!"

No matter how hard the robbery criminal struggled, he could not break free from the man's iron-like grasp.

Afterwards, the old woman who had been robbed of the package finally caught up with her.

Unlike the policemen Zhu Yuanzhang had seen in the past, the policemen in Yanjing City did not feel superior to others at all.

Instead, he was very polite, handed the snatched package to the old woman's hand, and said kindly: "Old man, I'm familiar with that shop next to you. Go and check over there to see if there's anything missing."

This way of handling it made Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes light up.

"This kid is a talent!"

You know, the reason why this old woman was targeted by the thief was because she had something valuable on her body, and the robber found out about it.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the robber to take such a big risk and steal things directly in the clear sky.

This old woman is alone, if she is allowed to check her belongings in front of so many people.

Maybe, some caring people will take notice of her again.

And the detective was able to think of this and asked her to go to a place with few people to check whether her things were lost.

Putting aside everything else, Zhu Yuanzhang admired this thought alone.

Such people undoubtedly put their thoughts on the people.

Moreover, when the old woman was asked to check her belongings, the two arresting officers did not leave, but were waiting here.

Soon, the old woman came out after the examination and thanked the two of them gratefully: "Thank you sir, nothing is missing."

It was obvious that the old woman was very excited and almost cried.

Zhu Yuanzhang could understand the old woman's reaction very well.

Although she was not dressed like many people on the street, she still had patches on her clothes.

But it was obvious that they were not from a wealthy family.

For an old woman to be able to carry important financial items with her, there is probably something wrong with the men in her family.

If it wasn't a serious illness, it might be a serious injury or something.

The money the old woman was carrying might be used to save people and treat illnesses.

These two detectives not only caught the thief, but they might also have saved a family.

There was just one thing that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't quite understand.

Although these two men claimed to be detectives, they were not wearing detective clothes.

"Brother, are these two really agents of the Yamen? Why do they feel different from the agents I have seen before?"

When the person next to him heard this, he immediately answered Lao Zhu in a dialect unique to Yanjing: "Brother, are you from out of town?"

As he said this, the man looked curiously up and down at Zhu Yuanzhang several times.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded, and admitted happily: "We have just arrived in Yanjing."

"That's right, let alone those of you who are from out of town. We, the natives of Yanjing, have never seen these things before."

"Although these people are not wearing the clothes of police officers, they are indeed police officers."

"His Royal Highness the King said, these people are called plainclothes police officers."

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.

This kid Zhu Han has completely changed Yanjing into another person.

From the time he came to Yanjing to now, no one who belongs to the yamen he has met is known to Lao Zhu.

"What's the difference between this plainclothes policeman and an ordinary policeman?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.

"You don't know yet, right?" The man with a Yanjing accent suddenly lowered his voice mysteriously.

This incident made Lao Zhu a little nervous, and he subconsciously lowered his voice and asked, "What do you know?"

"Our Yanjing City will soon become the capital of our Ming Dynasty."

……

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt that his hands were itchy, and he had the urge to give the guy in front of him a big blow.

Seeing how mysterious this guy was, Lao Zhu thought he was going to say something taboo.

The result is this?

Yanjing City has been selected as the future capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Except for places with particularly congested traffic, some people may not know about this.

There shouldn't be many people in the world who don't know yet, right?

If they don't even know this kind of thing, are they still ordinary people of the Daimyo?
In the end, Lao Zhu suppressed his impulse.

He could tell that every one of the people in Yanjing was a particularly eloquent person.

Whether it was the two coachmen I met before entering the city, the boss who bought soup cakes after entering the city, or the guy in front of me.

Lao Zhu finally understood that if he really wanted to inquire about something, he must not ask these Yanjing natives.

It’s not that they are bad, but these guys are really good at talking.

"We've heard of this." Lao Zhu had a distant smile on his face, hinting that he wanted to end the conversation.

Unfortunately, the Yanjing people in front of him didn't seem to understand what he meant.

Instead, he became more enthusiastic: "Since you know, it will be easier to talk about it."

"Since His Royal Highness came to Yanjing to take charge of the construction of the capital, the number of people coming to work in Yanjing has been increasing day by day."

"The same rice can support hundreds of people, and in a big forest there are all kinds of birds. When there are more people, there will be more and more people who don't want to take the right path."

"This also caused our Yanjing to become particularly chaotic for a period of time."

"Speaking of this matter, we people are also quite entangled. In the past, when there were fewer people, although we lived a leisurely life, we didn't have many opportunities to make money."

"Although there are a lot of opportunities to make money now, there are also a lot of messy things."

"Actually, when His Royal Highness first came to Yanjing, he dealt with many people harshly."

"In order to punish those profiteers who owed us ordinary people their wages, His Royal Highness even went so far as to directly engage with the senior officials of the Sixth Ministry..."

Seeing that this guy was getting more and more outrageous, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly pretended to cough a few times and interrupted what the guy was saying.

Good guy, if you continue to let this guy talk, Zhu Yuanzhang feels that he can talk for several hours without repeating the same thing.

If it was about something else, Zhu Yuanzhang might be able to listen patiently.

But Lao Zhu knew much better than him about the things he said.

And I also know that these things are not as simple as they seem on the surface, and actually involve more conflicts of interest above the imperial court.

But Lao Zhu would naturally not tell these things to an ordinary person.

What he is concerned about now is what this so-called plainclothes policeman is.

"Brother, we ordinary people should be careful about what happens in the court, so let's talk about this plainclothes policeman."
