Daming: I was exposed by Zhu Di's Sims life!

Chapter 63

Since ancient times, corrupt officials have been moths that cannot be killed. They lie on the back of the court and suck blood, making the mighty empire weaker and weaker until it perishes. The Ming Dynasty is no exception.

Even though Hongwu killed everything in the dark, there are still corrupt officials who can't be killed.

The biggest disadvantage of using work for relief is that the emergence of corrupt officials will discount the funds allocated by the imperial court to the laborers, creating a vicious circle. But it became less and less, and finally there was even a collapse and mutiny.

Beizhen Fusi was controlled by Zhu Gaoxuan, so when he proposed to use work for relief, it fell on him to deal with this troublesome matter.

If the matter is done well, the people are happy, the old man is happy, the whole world celebrates, and there will be a big reward, maybe the entire Jinyiwei will be rewarded to Zhu Gaoxuan directly.

If things go wrong, then you, Zhu Gaoyi, have played your game to the end. At least, the emperor will take back the control of Beizhen Fusi, and at worst...you won't be able to cut it down directly, but Zhu Gaoyi may find it difficult to gain a foothold in the capital in the future.

With a lot of risk and a lot of reward, it's a gamble.

Since ancient times, nine out of ten bets lose, but this time Zhu Gaoxuan can only win, not lose.

"One thousand and four hundredth of the volume of gold is worn away every year. This is called loss. Therefore, the 14 billion gold circulating in the world will lose millions every year."

Zhu Gaoxuan said softly, "The 100 million gold turned into flying dust, flying and floating, and turned into light atoms that can be inhaled and exhaled. This inhalant is like a heavy burden, pressing on the conscience of a person, and it has a wonderful chemical operation with the soul. , making the rich haughty and the poor humble."

This sentence comes from the novel "The Man Who Laughs" published by French writer Victor Hugo in 1869.

Gold is a life-saving medicine, which can bring people back to life, and a deadly poison, which can make people jolt and drift.

Zhu Gaoxuan took on the task of "monitor" in the flood in Shandong, so he had to fight against corrupt officials. There was no worldly sophistication in this struggle. He wanted to "guard the gold", while the corrupt officials wanted to "take away the gold".

Therefore, the question raised by Lu Chaoyang is not valid. It is impossible for Zhu Gaoyi to be afraid of offending some big shots. He will not only offend these corrupt officials this time, but also bury their heads in the soil.

"My lord, I'm going to Shandong. If I can't come back, I beg my lord to settle the regrettable matter for me. In this way, I will have nothing to worry about under the Nine Springs." Lu Chaoyang said firmly.

He couldn't understand what Lord Qi said, abrasion, atoms, chemistry... He didn't understand anything, but he could understand a piece of "gold". He knew that gold was a good thing, the more the better.

But he can confirm one thing for you, that is, the prince is determined to fight the corrupt officials behind the Shandong flood to the end.

Zhu Di handed the matter over to Zhu Gaoxuan, and Zhu Gaoyi handed over the matter to Lu Chaoyang.

Lu Chaoyang is a dirty man, he has been a desperado since the decline of the Lu family, the prince entrusted him to do the work, and he risked his life to complete it.

"I can't guarantee that you will return safely after going to Shandong this time, but I can guarantee one thing." Zhu Gaoxuan patted Lu Chaoyang on the shoulder and said, "That is, if you die in Shandong, I will save you for you." The Jiang family will be wiped out!"

Lu Chaoyang's concern was nothing more than the Jiang family.

Back then, the Jiang family caused the Lu family to decline, and Lu Shouzhong died in depression. For so many years, it was hatred that supported Lu Chaoyang, a desperado, to live in the world and survive the tragic battlefield.

"My lord said so, I feel relieved." Lu Chaoyang grinned.

This is a promise from a man. Zhu Gaoxuan promised to help Lu Chaoyang get rid of the regrets in his heart, and Lu Chaoyang promised to work for Zhu Gaoxuan.

This time he went to Shandong, even if he lost his life, he still had to finish the errand entrusted to him by Zhu Gaoxuan!

……

After leaving Fusi in Beizhen, Zhu Gaoxuan went to the palace to seek the emperor's order.

The emperor entrusted him with such a big matter as the Shandong flood, so he had to give the old man an explanation.

In the Qianqing Palace, there was a sense of warmth, and Zhu Di was flipping through a memorial in his hand.

He asked wearily, "You trust Lu Chaoyang that much?"

Zhu Gaoxuan was thinking about why the old man didn't mention the matter of taking care of food today, when he heard this, he smiled and said: "Lv Chaoyang was born as a martial artist, in terms of talent, he is far inferior to a scholar in the Imperial Academy, and in terms of strategy, he is not as good as a general. He is the most capable person under my son."

It's a bit redundant to say this, after all, few of Zhu Gaoxuan's subordinates know how to do things.There are only two people, one is the personal bodyguard A Qi, and the other is the eagle dog Lu Chaoyang.

"Oh?" Zhu Di put down the memorial in his hand and became interested, "Lu Chaoyang is just the son of a poor general, why do you think so highly of him?"

"The son of the commander of the capital, suddenly became a desperado on the battlefield. With such a huge gap, ordinary people would have collapsed long ago." Zhu Gaoxuan had a smile in his eyes, "But Lu Chaoyang survived. He survived in the most deadly vanguard battalion of the Southern Expedition Army. He escaped from death and climbed out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood every time. Burned by his rage, he transformed from a young and energetic general boy into a calm and cruel executioner."

Zhu Gaoxuan paused, and continued: "People like Lu Chaoyang need to start where he is most needed. It was I who pulled him out of despair and turned him from a desperado to the Fusi of Beizhen. The governor of the yamen gave him hope of revenge. I don't know if Lu Chaoyang believes in gods or Buddhas, but I know that there is a god in his heart, and this god is me. Believers are terrible, and they can often The god of faith, to do some incomprehensible things. But if the god that believers believe in becomes a human being, then he is the best butcher knife, for the god in his heart, he will do whatever it takes."

"Lu Chaoyang is no longer a human being. He is an evil spirit crawling out of hell. In order to achieve his goal, he can give up everything, including his own life. Using evil spirits to fight against people is the most effective method."

After listening to what Zhu Gaoxuan said, Zhu Di was silent for a while.

"Because of hatred, Lu Chaoyang will become the best butcher knife in your hand." Zhu Di asked, "But if the hatred disappears, after you wiped out the Jiang family for him, without the support of the flames of revenge, he will still be killed." Will it be so useful, and will he become your abandoned son by then?"

"Why should I think about this?" Zhu Gaoxuan asked back.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Di frowned slightly, a little puzzled.

Zhu Gaoxuan still had a smile on his face: "Practice human affairs and know the destiny. There is never an absolute thing in the world. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the three families returned to Jin. Even though there were many heroes in the Three Kingdoms, I never thought that Sima Yi would win the world in the end. I don't need anything." I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do and doing the best I can."

"I gave Lu Chaoyang a chance to take revenge. He worked hard for me, and that's enough."
