my days with tyrants

Chapter 46 The Anti-Thief Crash Course

"Look at you, look at you, what is going on in everyone's mind? Can there be a little trust between people?

I'm just asking about Sapphire's recent situation, so as to scare you.

Don't you feel ashamed to run away one by one, and pretend to be dead?

What are you afraid of?
Do you think that His Majesty the Emperor will be as full of dark thoughts as you?Can't be more sunny as a human being?Can't the mind be healthier?Whenever I have something to think about, I just make trouble for myself. If you want to be like me, I will have full confidence in your majesty the emperor!Look, isn't sapphire very good, holy family is prosperous! "

With a face full of righteousness, Yang Feng angrily scolded the civil servants and military generals who bowed their heads in front of him, and in his hand he was still holding a residence report that was less than four hours later than the canonized edict of the emperor's grandson. This residence report is a series of public decrees issued by His Majesty the Emperor ten days ago, one of which is about Sapphire.

Lord Lanyu of Liang State, who was still commanding Jianchangwei to fight against Yuelu Timur's rebellion, had already received a new appointment before the battle was over.

Go south to Guangxi for military training.

So Zhu Yuanzhang is not going to kill Lan Yu for the time being.

Although he established Zhu Yunxi as the grandson of the emperor, he did have to guard against Lan Yu as Yang Jian, but the problem is that he already knew that after his death, the vassal king would seize the throne, that is to say, the army commanded by the emperor could not defeat the vassal king, which led to this result The main reason for his appearance must be that he killed too many generals, so that the rest are all second-rate goods.In the final analysis, he also has self-knowledge. Originally, after killing Lan Yu in history, he has already fallen so low that he needs Yang Wen's level to take the lead. Although Yang Wen can indeed, compared with Wang Bi and others, he is not at the same level after all.

Before letting Zhou Dexing go, he had already begun to restrain himself, leaving something for his heir to fight, but Zhou Dexing was too old, so he couldn't guarantee whether he would be able to use it at that time.

As a general in his prime, Sapphire is worth much more than Zhou Dexing.

Moreover, he and Zhu Yunxie have a special relationship, basically there is no possibility of surrendering to the vassal king, although there is a possibility of becoming Yang Jian...

And the odds are not small.

But if the feudal king's strength can conquer the world, of course he can be deterred.

So it's like deterring each other.

Besides, Lan Yu only has this possibility, and it doesn't mean that he is determined to be Yang Jian. Even if he really wants to be Yang Jian, he may not dare to take action. After all, he is not his brother-in-law, let alone Xu Da. It is related, the factions in the DPRK and China contain each other, and the deterrence of the vassals outside is enough to ensure that he dare not take action.

The key is that Zhu Yuanzhang really has no generals of this level available now.

The veterans are Tang He who pretended to be dead every day, Zhou Dexing who was kicked out, Feng Sheng and Fu Youde who led the troops, but these two old things are unreliable.

Feng Sheng's son-in-law is the king of Zhou.

Fu Youde's son-in-law is King Jin.

With these two old things?
Are you afraid that they will turn around and cooperate with their son-in-law?

Feng Sheng had already had a private meeting with his son-in-law, and they knew that Zhu Yuanzhang hated such things the most, so they dared to meet in secret.
And the younger ones can only be Li Jinglong, Sun Ke, Cao Zhen, Wang Bi, Song Sheng and so on.

These generals who did not command the entire army can fight back and fight, but generals are not handsome.

Besides, are these people okay?Wang Bi's son-in-law is the king of Chu, Zhu Yuanzhang and these old brothers, these old brothers are all married to each other, so there is no innocence to rest assured, Cao Zhen was killed by a wave in history, Lan Yu is dissatisfied with him Didn't it mean that he killed Lan Yu's in-law Ye Sheng? Lan Yu was always worried that Ye Sheng would confess him back then.

"But you can rest assured that I have always been strict with my mouth and will not tell you. But if you tell it yourself, you can't blame me."

Then Yang Feng continued to speak.

"Ambassador, you have said so much, I can't understand a single word!"

Commander Xu raised his head and said angrily.

Hu Bingzhong and others also said that they couldn't understand what Yang Feng was saying.

"Then send all my things to Jinzhou. You understand this, right? Don't blame me for saying something ugly, but if there is one or two missing, then I can't guarantee anything!"

Yang Feng said with a sneer.

"Don't worry, ambassador, we won't be greedy for your money."

Hu Bingzhong also said angrily.

They also know that they have been caught by this bastard now. It is a conspiracy for this bastard to ask what Sapphire should do, and their reaction is that they have fallen into a trap. As long as he tells the emperor their reaction at that time, I am afraid that everyone will be upset Hard to end well.With Zhu Yuanzhang's temper, if he doesn't look for an opportunity to kill their whole family, it's hard to express such a bad breath. This is how you look at me as an emperor. In your eyes, I am a tyrant. If I make Zhu Yunxi the emperor's grandson, you think I will kill him Sapphire?
You understand it very well!
Can you guess the next step in every move I make?

Then I will kill your whole family, can you guess it?
What an emperor hates the most is that his courtiers are too smart, even if you can guess what he does, you have to pretend you can't.

You can't speculate on what you want, let alone this kind of speculation.

In fact, killing Yang Feng at this time should be a good choice, but the problem is that this guy's equipment is too good.

It's hard to do!
And until now, these guys don’t know what his situation is like with Zhu Yuanzhang, but it’s obviously very arrogant to talk about your emperor at this guy. If you talk like this, you haven’t been skinned by the emperor. Definitely the Holy Family Zhenglong.

But just transporting the gold he extorted from the Kong family is a trivial matter.

In the final analysis, what everyone needs is to keep tight-lipped about this kind of thing, and he will also be unlucky if he really tells it.

This is just a guarantee of mutual trust.

"That's good, but I still have some small requirements."

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

"Ambassador please speak."

Commander Xu said.

"I want to hire some people here. A hundred or ten people are enough. It is best to be able to ride a horse. In addition, you have to buy some horses and equip them with some weapons, such as bows and arrows."

"Ambassador, please go ahead. There is no restriction on horse weapons, as long as they are not firearms."

"In addition, you have to provide guides for me and these people. I want to take them to Liaodong, and I need to use a false identity. I don't want to cause too many troubles along the way."

"It's a crime to take a false route."

"Can you?"

Yang Feng said.

Then a group of civil servants and generals looked at the magistrate of Yanzhou. The latter nodded slowly. This small matter is okay. Anyway, it was Yang Feng himself. The people he hired did not need to be fake, so everyone turned to Yang Feng nodded.

"My maidservant follows the princess, and I lack a servant by my side. I think there must be some orphans here."

"There are several nursing homes, but buying and selling human beings is a felony, which is definitely not allowed."

"Nonsense, I am obviously adopted."

"Adoption is naturally a good deed."

"Then if there are really poor families with a large population who really can't support them, I would like to adopt them too. Since I have adopted them, then I can be regarded as some relatives with her relatives. Seeing how poor they are, I will send them some money to help them. Isn't it against the law?"

"No crime, if you really can't support it, you can ask others to adopt it. As for relatives and families, it is human nature to communicate with each other, but the lower officials need to make it clear that since they are adopted daughters, if they deviate from the law, they will be considered adulterers."

"He Zhizhou was joking, I'm not buying a woman."

"Uh, I don't want to be an ambassador, but I'm an elegant person."

He Zhizhou stroked his beard and smiled, he seemed to have a sense of confidant, probably he is also an elegant person.

"There is no quantity limit for this?"

"It's just a righteous man and a righteous woman, as many as you want, but the lower officials have to remind the ambassador that the righteous man will divide the family property in the future."

……

So Yang Feng quickly got what he wanted.

Let’s take a dozen foster men first. In fact, it’s okay to accept a few foster daughters. Ambassador Yang has no evil intentions. He just wants to educate his direct descendants from now on. After all, education starts with babies. It is to protect these people.Of course, he couldn't protect so much by himself, so he hired a guard and disbanded after returning. Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely not watch him train a private army, but it is acceptable for him to hire some short-term labor temporarily.

Then these day laborers followed him, were influenced by him along the way, and learned some new knowledge from him.

Especially practical ones, such as handicrafts, can you teach them how to smelt iron?The Ming Dynasty did not prohibit private iron smelting. The so-called official smelting was just the few state-run iron smelting places, but apart from these official smelting, as long as the folks had the ability, they could smelt at will, but they only needed to collect taxes.

Teach them new farming techniques.

Teach them new textile techniques.

typography.

can be taught.

Then they disbanded when they came back and let them go home separately.

They can rely on these things to develop in their hometown.

And Ambassador Yang, who taught them all this and gave them money to live a good life, naturally became their supporter, so a letter could call them together when needed.

Zhu Yuanzhang would not pay attention to this, and Yang Feng would not even bring these people to the capital, they were just temporary workers.

Hire a group when you need to go to a place, and take a period of time to send money to go home.

As for righteous men and righteous women, they will definitely follow him, but if they are only children, Zhu Yuanzhang should be able to accept it reluctantly. Anyway, he will not have a good life for a few years. When he died, these children also grew up. The most important thing for them is Modern thought, if not truly modern, must at least be modern, and the idea of ​​enslaving a feudal monarch for 100 years is definitely not acceptable.

Therefore, Yang Feng is doing a crash course in anti-thief.

Of course, even if it is a quick success, it will take more than ten years. Zhu Yuanzhang's era is not the Chongzhen era after all. I have to say that there is such an emperor who has more rebellion experience than himself. Yang Feng also laments that he is both born and bright.
