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

It’s not that the current situation is inappropriate for me. Lao Zhu even thought about knighting these two people directly.

Moreover, if these two people were knighted, there would be absolutely no resistance in the court.

No official could or dared to stand up and stop it.

When there was a severe drought in Datong Prefecture, the two of them relied on their own strength to find water sources and saved many Datong people.

Anyone who dares to oppose their ennoblement, doesn’t that mean they don’t take the lives of the people seriously?
The officials in the court may not really take the people of the world seriously.

But they never dare to express it with their mouths.

He even pretends to be concerned about the country and the people. If he doesn't speak for the sake of the people of the world, he seems to be unable to say anything.

It's just that the drought in Datong has not been completely eliminated.

Lao Zhu didn't even take the time to actually bring this matter to court.

But in Lao Zhu's heart, he has completely remembered these two people.

In fact, it’s not just with He Yu and Fang Hubin.

There are also Shen Longliang who used paper to build bridges when he was in Yanjing and finely tuned the chin of all the Ministry of Industry officials in Yanjing, and Li Yunxi, the humanoid accounting machine.

Lao Zhu knew before that Zhu Han passed on all his skills to these students in Huangzhuang.

But at that time, he thought that no matter how outstanding the students in Huangzhuang were, they were still too young, and they would definitely be inferior to the current officials in the court.

Unexpectedly, in many aspects, they have far surpassed these officials now.

The reason why Lao Zhu reused those traditional scholars was simply because apart from them, Xinxue currently did not have enough talents to be on the stage.

Otherwise, by showing such a pragmatic personality early, all the officials in the court would have been replaced by new students.

But these Huangzhuang students really taught Lao Zhu a solid lesson.

Their abilities are so strong that when Zhu Han first started to show his abilities, he didn't want to go up or down.

What surprised Lao Zhu the most was that even the students trained by his brother were so brilliant.

How powerful can my brother be?
Although he has overestimated his brother countless times.

But when he really saw Zhu Han show the tip of the iceberg of his abilities, Lao Zhu would helplessly discover that he had underestimated his younger brother again.

"And let me tell you, Lao Chang, you are just an ordinary businessman, so stop worrying about His Royal Highness."

"His Royal Highness, you are a genius. How can a little person like you see through this easily?"

"Just like this storytelling. In your eyes, it's just a pastime. Am I right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked calmly: "Did we say it wrong? Isn't this thing just for everyone to listen to for entertainment after dinner?"

"Childish!" Gao Fei said with disdain without hesitation: "So I said, you can just work as a cashier in the reception department for us."

"When I get promoted in the future, I will definitely not forget to give you a promotion. Your future will be much better than if you go into business."

"From your point of view." Gao Fei sighed and shook his head: "I'm afraid I won't be able to make much money in any business."

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered in his heart.

The biggest business we have done in this life is rebellion, and we have turned the world into our surname.

Of course, these words are just what I think about in my heart, and I will never say them in front of Gao Fei.

Instead, he pretended to be asking for advice humbly: "We really don't have any talent in business, so I would like to ask for some advice."

Gao Fei looked around and saw that no one around him noticed them. He lowered his voice and said, "Old Chang, you are considered a member of our Datong Mansion, so I won't hide some things from you."

"The reason why His Royal Highness took time out of his busy schedule to write this commentary is that the most important thing is to maintain the stability of the people."

"Although you don't have much ability in business, you have been traveling around for most of your life, so the reality should still be there."

"This man, if there are too many of them, he will become all kinds of weird and have all kinds of ideas."

"If it is incited by some people again at this time, it is possible that it will cause clarification."

Lao Zhu has become accustomed to Gao Fei's high and low vision.

He finally understood it when Fan Gaofei came up with some particularly insightful theory.

Basically, it was not his own idea, but what his brother told them.

So I just looked at Gao Fei with a smile, waiting for him to continue.

Gao Fei was very satisfied with Lao Zhu's attitude. He seemed to have been waiting for such an opportunity to express his thoughts.

"In the past, the imperial court was basically helpless to deal with this situation."

"The only thing we can do is to send more people to look after these people who are working."

"But this kind of thing basically does more harm than good. The more people there are to watch, the more chaotic the management will be, and more and more officials will take advantage of their positions to bully these people."

"The stricter the management, the more convenient it will be for those with ulterior motives to do things."

"We won't talk about it for a long time. The previous dynasty of Meng Yuan was not because of the corruption of those officials and the salary of the workers, which led to the riots of Hegong. In the end, the world was full of armies, and this is how we came to the Ming Dynasty."

Lao Zhu wanted to wait for Gao Fei to tell the answer himself, but this guy kept talking for a while and couldn't get to the point.

He gradually became a little impatient, and took the initiative to interrupt Gao Fei: "But what does this have to do with this so-called storytelling, sir?"

Gao Fei raised his chin proudly: "You don't understand this, do you?"

"The reason why the riots occurred in the Yellow River Palace has something to do with the fact that certain officials were too strict."

"One of the biggest reasons is that these people usually have nothing to do."

"This person is prone to random thoughts whenever he has some free time. Doesn't this random thinking lead to everything?"

"Now that the prince has come up with this storytelling, those people who have nothing to do and listen to the storytelling will naturally stop thinking so much about some things they are doing."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked around: "But sir, these people listening to storytelling are all people in the city, and their lives are pretty good."

"Even if they don't think randomly after listening to these stories, it doesn't seem to make any difference."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Gao Fei stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Lao Zhu's face.

"So, you guys don't have a long-term vision."

"These storytellings were actually first started in the refugee camp outside."

"We have only heard it a dozen times now. It is said that people in the refugee camps outside have said it sixty or seventy times."

"You don't know that after listening to the storytelling, the fleeing people think about the contents of the storytelling every day. In addition, they still need to work during the day, so they have no time to think about anything else."

As he spoke, Gao Fei lowered his voice again: "I'm telling you, don't tell others. In fact, there were some more thoughtful people who wanted to incite the people to revolt before."

"And guess what?"

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes speechlessly. He had only been in Datong Mansion for a few days, how could he know what happened before?Gao Fei obviously didn't expect him to answer, so he smiled and said directly: "In the end, those people were reported by the common people before they did anything."

"At that time, I led my men to catch the rebels myself."

"At that time, our people surrounded them, but these guys didn't know what was going on."

"Pretend to be an ordinary person and beg me while trembling."

"At that time, I felt that these people were really pitiful. You said they did something bad, so they had to cause chaos under the rule of His Royal Highness."

"It's no different than sending yourself to death."

Hearing this, Lao Zhu couldn't help laughing.

When I was in Yanjing before, the situation was similar to here.

Those officials with evil intentions sent troops to assassinate their own brothers.

what's the result?
The troops who assassinated Zhu Han were killed in pieces by the surrounding people who spontaneously rushed out to protect Zhu Han.

It can be said that if it were not for these people, my brother might really be in trouble.

While feeling sour, Lao Zhu couldn't help but lament that he would never be able to have the prestige of his brother in this life.

Not even if he is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

After the two chatted for a while, the storyteller continued to talk about storytelling at the urging of the guests in the teahouse.

Snapped!
As soon as the alarm was struck, Yun Zheyue's voice slowly sounded: "Next, let's continue talking about long storytelling..."

Zhu Yue, the storyteller, became more and more obsessed with it. It really suited his taste.

Although Lao Zhu is now the emperor, his thoughts have not changed much compared to the beggar before.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill corrupt officials without mercy.

This is definitely not how a qualified politician should behave.

Lao Zhu actually has a dream of being a knight-errant in his heart.

However, when Zhu Yuanzhang was intoxicated, he unknowingly finished his storytelling again.

"Foretelling what will happen next..."

Hearing this, Lao Zhu's eyelids suddenly began to twitch: "Who told you to stop and continue talking."

Because he was so fascinated by what he heard, Lao Zhu even forgot his own identity.

Subconsciously, he exuded the majesty that an emperor should have.

Suddenly, the entire teahouse was attracted by this sound.

Everyone couldn't help but look in the direction of Lao Zhu.

This was an incredible sight. I felt that the person in front of me was extremely terrifying. Several people who were standing felt their legs weaken and knelt directly on the ground.

The people sitting there were not much better, they all felt frightened, and they didn't know why their necks felt cold.

Among them, the one who had the strongest reaction was naturally Gao Fei, who was sitting next to Lao Zhu.

This kid is also a practitioner. He may not be called a top master, but he is definitely much better than ordinary people.

Zhu Yuanzhang's anger dispersed, and Gao Fei suddenly felt chilled.

He stood up suddenly and knocked down the stool. He subconsciously took several steps back and distanced himself from Zhu Yuanzhang.

After noticing the changes around him, Lao Zhu realized that he had lost his composure.

He quickly said that he put away the majesty of the emperor and immediately turned into a harmless businessman.

Smiling, he cupped his hands and said, "I'm really sorry for you guys. Country people don't have much knowledge. I was so excited when I heard storytelling for the first time, and my voice was a little loud for a while. Please bear with me."

After Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation, and the majestic aura emanating from him, he had completely disappeared.

Everyone thought they had just seen it wrong.

Suddenly someone said angrily: "No matter how excited you are, please restrain yourself. You are not the only one listening to storytelling here."

"It just scared me."

"It doesn't matter if you scare us. If you scare us, sir, you won't talk anymore. How can you accompany us?"

Some people also asked about the storyteller's situation with concern.

The storyteller forced a smile, waved his hands and said, "It doesn't matter. I was just shocked just now. This brother's voice is really loud."

After he finished speaking, he secretly wiped his sweat.

The others are just innocent people who were affected, but the storyteller is the one who truly bears the majesty of Zhu Yuanzhang's real dragon.

Fortunately, he was also sitting, otherwise he would have knelt down like many people around him.

It was really dangerous, I almost lost all my face.

Gao Fei came back a little embarrassed: "Old Chang, you guy, do you want to scare me to death?"

"You don't think you can inherit my position after scaring me to death, right?"

"I'm telling you, don't even think about it! Our officials are all appointed by His Royal Highness himself, and they are not something others can just entrust to you."

Lao Zhu was speechless.

But seeing how Gao Fei could still joke, it was obvious that he was not very affected.

Pretending to be helpless, he raised his hands to Gao Fei and said, "Sir, you are joking. We are just a businessman, but we have never dreamed of becoming an official."

"What's the matter with your voice? Isn't it too loud?" Gao Fei seemed to have nothing to do and still had time to tease Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be embarrassed and smiled and said: "In the past, we were a businessman. We only relied on shouting to do business in the streets."

"If your voice isn't loud enough, you won't even be able to eat."

Gao Fei did not doubt Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation, but nodded and said: "That's it."

"I suddenly discovered something. Isn't it a bit too much to ask Old Chang to settle accounts in the Yamen?"

"With your voice, if you go to our checkpoint and help me shout, I won't even use the speaker."

"How about it? Just work with me every day from now on. The salary will definitely be higher than if you were an ordinary accountant."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "Haha, thank you for your kindness, sir, but we are not interested. We are old and can't stand the wind and sun."

Gao Fei didn't care much about being rejected by Lao Zhu. Instead, he laughed and gave Lao Zhu a look of disdain.
