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

Chapter 552 Zhu Yuanzhang is a talent
"It's really not a worry." Zhu Han said speechlessly.

"Let the people from Jinyiwei go check and see if anything happened in Yanjing recently?"

Liu Shenhong Wenyan couldn't help but be stunned: "Why did Sister Wang want to check Yanjing's side?"

"According to the news from the court, Your Majesty...should have been out for a while. Calculating the distance, he must have arrived at Datong Mansion by now."

"Wouldn't it be more convenient for us to check directly here in Datong Mansion?"

Liu Shenhong almost subconsciously said the word "Your Majesty".

But in the end he changed his tune.

Zhu Han glared at him and said angrily to Xun Chi, "You've been with me for so long, why haven't you made any progress at all?"

"Now if we let people investigate in Datong Mansion, the news will definitely be leaked out soon."

"If his identity is known by someone with ulterior motives, I don't need to tell you what the consequences will be, right?"

"This..." Liu Shenhong was still a little confused: "But Your Majesty, that person should be no longer in Yanjing. What's the use of going to Yanjing to investigate?"

"But investigating there will not attract some people's attention."

"As long as we know what the problem is in Yanjing, we will naturally know whether he has arrived in Datong Mansion."

"If everything is calm over there in Yanjing, it means he is still on the way, and we can make some arrangements in advance."

"But here in Datong Mansion, there are refugees everywhere because of the severe drought. I don't need to tell you how many people with malicious intentions there are."

Liu Shenhong broke into a cold sweat as soon as he brushed his face.

He really didn't realize the seriousness of the things here. After all, for him, the current Ming Dynasty and China were peaceful and peaceful, and there were almost no wars.

Even if a natural disaster occurs, there may be some people with ulterior motives among the people.

Liu Shenhong didn't think anyone would be detrimental to Zhu Yuanzhang.

But after being reminded by his prince, Liu Shenhong finally realized what his problem was.

Even if the chance of this happening is one in a thousand or even one in ten thousand, it is still a serious matter and should not be taken lightly.

"Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty. I understand."

Zhu Han nodded with satisfaction and said, "Now that you know it, let someone check it out."

"Especially at Yanjing, any special events that have happened recently should be reported to me in advance."

"Yes!" Liu Shenhong turned around and was about to leave.

Zhu Han's voice sounded again: "Remember, this matter must be kept secret, and no one can know about it."

"clear."

Seeing Liu Shenhong walk out of the room, Zhu Han sighed slightly.

It's not that he doesn't believe Liu Shenhong, it's mainly because this time it's really a big deal.

The letter just now was written to him by Zhu Biao himself. It was clear to the north that Zhu Yuanzhang was traveling incognito this time and there were not many people with him.

If something goes wrong, it's fine in China, but there will definitely be problems in other places outside. Then the good situation they have worked so hard to manage will fall short.

"It's really annoying!" Zhu Han smiled bitterly and shook his head.

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Huanghao were also discussing this issue.

"Chongpachi, are you going to keep hiding your whereabouts like this?"

"I guess Qiwu should have known that you left the palace by now, and he should be looking for you anxiously at this time."

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned back comfortably on the chair, with a cup of hot tea at his hand: "Just look for it. It's time for this kid to work hard for a few days. He left us in the palace to deal with government affairs. He is really free and happy everywhere."

Empress Ma smiled and teased: "I think you won't be free for long. We are all in Datong. It won't take long for Qiwu to find us."

Zhu Yuanzhang said confidently: "That's hard to say. With Qi Wu's temperament, it is definitely impossible to search for our whereabouts with great fanfare."

"We estimate that this guy is most likely to start from Yanjing to find our whereabouts."

"Because only in this way can we avoid the leakage of news about us in Datong Mansion as much as possible."

"Although there are trains now, it takes a long time to send news from Yanjing to Datong."

The more Lao Zhu talked, the more proud he became, and the corners of his mouth were raised high.

Empress Ma had a helpless smile on her face: "How old are you, why are you still acting like a child?"

"Qi Wu and Biao'er don't know how anxious they are right now."

Hearing what she said, Lao Zhu looked indifferent: "If you say Biao'er is worried about us, I believe it."

"But that little bastard from Qiwu doesn't know how to scold us right now."

"If we don't let him worry for a few more days, the wait for this trip will be in vain."

While the two were talking, a bold voice suddenly sounded outside the Yamen: "Old Chang, come and see what good things I have brought back."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "You can tell from our grown-up's voice that he really brought some good things out to see this time."

Lao Zhu walked out of the room and saw Gao Fei walking back from outside carrying a pig leg.

As soon as he opened the door, he complained angrily: "Lao Zhu, why haven't you made any progress at all?"

"I have returned to the Yamen, and you didn't even know to come out to greet me. Because of your lack of eyesight, you have no part in today's pig's trotters."

Gao Fei doesn't look like an official at all when he talks and acts.

But for his virtue, he was very popular among the people.

Many people will never forget him if they have any benefit.

From what Lao Zhu saw during his stay at the reception yamen, when Gao Fei returned to the yamen, there was almost nothing empty in his hand.

If it's not pheasant, it's duck eggs, or even mushrooms or something like that.

Sometimes Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't understand why this guy who looked like a knife was so rare.

Of course, no matter what he thought in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang was never polite to the things Gao Fei brought back.

Almost half of it went into Lao Zhu's stomach.

Gao Fei didn't care much about this. Although he always said harsh words, no matter what good things happened, he always thought of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"I said, Lao Chang, you can just stay in the reception department and the rest of the family can follow me."

"To be honest, this is not much better than doing business."

After drinking for three rounds, Gao Fei began to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang again.

Almost every time they drink, Goofy has to save the world, from the first time.

The reason for this is mainly because Zhu Yuanzhang's work is really beautiful.

There are now a total of eight reception departments set up around Datong Mansion, all of which are used to receive refugees pouring into Datong Mansion from all directions.

The situation in these reception departments is similar to Gao Fei's.Except for a few former businessmen who can handle the messy accounts, they can understand them.

Most accounts can only be left to those specialized accounting offices.

For this matter, these people in the reception department are like eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers.

But no matter which reception department, at least two or three accounting offices are needed to smooth out all these accounts.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang came, Gao Fei actually hired two accounting clerks.

However, he was unlucky. There were some problems with both accounting offices, so he quit working at them all.

This is why when Gao Fei learned that Lao Zhu would settle accounts that day, he didn't bother to investigate his details and took him directly to the Yamen.

It is true that he can no longer handle these official duties at all.

What surprised Gao Fei was that he just grabbed someone randomly on the street, and he actually caught a pretty amazing talent.

Although this businessman named Chang Zai doesn't look very good, he is quite quick at calculating accounts.

What other loan departments would need a day or two to calculate clearly, he could do it clearly in just an hour or two.

Gao Fei obviously felt that this guy was just wandering around every day without doing his job.

But there has never been any problem with the Yamen's accounts.

Since Lao Chang came here, he praised them a lot for handling the accounts here last time.

Talents like this are always around, but I really don’t want to let them go.

It's a pity that this old man is a genius. He has not listened to you so many times, but the other party has never expressed his position.

Although the refugee camp outside Datong Mansion was built by Zhu Han himself.

But every time he came to the refugee camp, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to feel that there were some different changes here compared to before.

It's just that these changes are not big, so it is difficult to describe them in words for a while.

If he had to say something, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this refugee camp was growing slowly.

In just a day or two, there may be several more wooden houses around the private camp.

Except for a few really lazy people, all the people here are working hard to strive for a better life for themselves.

"Is this actually a refugee camp?" Queen Ma beside Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be surprised.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang had told her about the situation here before coming here, Queen Ma was already mentally prepared.

But when she really saw what was going on here, she was still so surprised that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.

Even though I just came out of Yanjing, I saw the extremely prosperous scene in Yanjing.

But this is not Yanjing, but Datong Prefecture, which has just suffered a drought.

Even under Zhu Han's governance, the people here could barely live a good life.

But no matter what, they are still inviting disasters, but now there are no traces of the disaster at all?

On the way to Datong Mansion, Queen Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang met many victims.

Only then could their situation correspond to the disaster victims in Empress Ma's impression.

The people here gave him the feeling that their lives were much better than those of many ordinary people.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled triumphantly and said: "Of course, you don't even know who created this refugee camp."

Empress Ma gave Zhu Yuanzhang a big roll of her eyes: "If I remember correctly, it should have been done on July [-], and it should have nothing to do with your Majesty."

"Why doesn't it matter?" Zhu Yuanzhang puffed his beard and stared, as if he wanted to argue with Queen Ma about right and wrong.

"When there was a drought in Datong, did we send Qiwu to provide disaster relief?"

"Doesn't this mean that we have a keen eye and know people, so that these disaster victims can live the life they have now?"

Empress Ma did not answer directly, but said with a half-smile: "I don't know who it is, but when I first heard that the price of grain was raised to four taels of silver and one stone in July, she was so angry that she almost overturned the table. "

Zhu Yuanzhang's breathing was consistent, and he retorted with some guilt: "We are happy."

Empress Ma smiled and said nothing, and did not expose Zhu Yuanzhang's lies on the spot.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to mention this matter anymore, so he quickly laughed and said: "There is a big square here in the private sector, and it is quite lively there. Let's go and have a look."

The square is located in the center, and Zhu Yuanzhang also visited it last time.

On this side of the square, the people who gather the most people are naturally those who talk about storytelling.

Lao Zhu can be said to be very confused about this place.

I want to listen to the follow-up content of storytelling, but I feel that the storytelling here is really boring.

It was a very exciting story, but after this group of people read it according to the script, only two or three points were left at most.

But even so, some listening is better than none, right?

Therefore, as long as he finished what he was doing, the small square of the refugee camp was where Zhu Yuanzhang came most.

There are two episodes of storytelling here every day. Two episodes are said at noon when all the workers are resting, and two episodes are said in the afternoon after all the workers are off work, before dinner.

After listening more, Zhu Yuanzhang gradually discovered the clues.

I really don’t blame the people here for not being as good as those in the city. The main reason is that these storytelling gentlemen are basically just improvising.

Many times I stumbled over the words and even forgot the plot. I even had to take out the book and read it on the spot.

According to the progress they said, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that they should have memorized what they were going to say a day or two in advance.

The reason for doing this is to maintain continuous updates.

As for the effect of this, just look at the ordinary people who listen to storytelling with great interest.

Whenever storytelling begins, almost all the people gather in the small square.

And according to what Zhu Yuanzhang learned during this period, there were four or five small squares like this in the entire refugee camp.

There are storytellers in every small square, and the gentleman is telling stories regularly.

It can be said that most people's attention is attracted by the content of these storytelling.

In the past, it was absolutely impossible to hear no complaints at all, whether it was in office or when the court was recruiting civilian men.

No matter how well the court does, there will always be people who suffer as a result.

As long as it doesn't affect the overall situation, the officials above will just turn a blind eye to this kind of thing.

After all, if you just complain, there won't be any serious consequences.

But if some people are sowing discord, then the situation is completely different.

Looking around, Queen Ma, who was listening to storytelling for the first time, was immediately attracted by the story and listened very attentively.
