Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 180 Boss Zhu's Boss
After a women's singles match that was too violent to describe, Zhu Yuanzhang lay on Empress Ma's lap and cried like a 50-year-old child.

"Wuuu, sister, let's throw it to my hometown this time..."

"We have been laughing at the stupid son of rich man Liu's family. Only now do we know that in the eyes of those people, we are no different from a big fool."

Empress Ma listened to his cry and helped him apply ice to his swollen forehead.In fact, although Empress Ma has never been soft on her husband, she always has three things, one is not to tame in front of a third person, the other is that she never slaps her face, and the third is that she rubs her face after beating.

This time, when Zhu Yuanzhang was dodging her feather duster, he bumped his head against the brass lamp stand...

"Who dares to say you're stupid?" Empress Ma said, "You're smarter than a monkey when you stick your hair on."

"You don't need to comfort us. Our most trusted old brothers and folks, they teamed up to lie to us, woo, it turns out that they have been treating us as fools all these years!"

"You said that we tried every means to live in Nanjing City. We used brass for the decorations in the palace, the cars going out, and all the places decorated with gold. If there is really no substitute, we also use gold leaf and gilt... and The food and clothing expenses of the palaces can be saved as much as possible. Don’t you just think that this is people’s fat and people’s ointment, and the more our family spends, the heavier the burden on the common people?”

Empress Ma nodded. Her husband came from a hard-working background, and he also asked the harem to be diligent and frugal with their children.

Everyone in the harem, even the flirtatious slut like Concubine Da Ding, had their clothes and skirts washed and washed, worn and worn again, as long as they were not torn, rotten or faded, and did not affect their dignity, they would continue to wear them and could not throw them away.

Because the cost of purchasing vegetables at Guanglu Temple is too high, and they are often stale when they are distributed to the palaces after they are delivered.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked the concubines to follow Empress Ma to open up a large part of the imperial garden as the "Imperial Vegetable Garden", and encouraged the eunuchs and maids to make more use of the idle space in the palace to grow vegetables... In short, the palace has not spent money on purchasing vegetables for several years up.

~~
"But you haven't seen the extravagance of Fengyang Palace. The shipping cost of a stone is 20 guan!" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed sadly: "Then what's the point of saving here and there? Isn't it a big joke? "

"You spent so much money, you didn't know anything before?" Queen Ma asked.

"The reported accounts are quite astonishing, but they are still within the reasonable range. We thought about using the palace for hundreds of years, so we held our noses and accepted it. But when we returned to the central capital, we found that the cost was much lower than what was reported. That’s a lot! Your capable brother Li actually found a way to raise his own wages and paid for our boss!”

"That's really rare." Empress Ma said, "I've only heard that people are enriching their own pockets, but I didn't expect there to be others."

"That means that what he wants is even bigger than money!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, "And the money he took from the tyrants is not still our people's anointment?"

"Scraping the common people's money to build the palace for us, I, Zhu Yuanzhang, will bear the infamy in the end?!" Boss Zhu sat up angrily as he spoke, but forgot that Queen Ma's buttocks were all black.The pain made him grin his teeth for a while, and quickly lay down again, angrily said:
"The most hateful thing is that everyone is helping him to hide it from us! We sincerely do their best, but they join forces to plot against us!"

"Hey, since you sat on the throne, everything has changed. The robes that used to live and die together, all of a sudden, the monarch and his subjects are different, and what they want and want is gradually drifting away. Otherwise, how can the emperor be called a lonely person? All dynasties and dynasties There are no exceptions." Empress Ma sighed lightly and said:

"That's why I didn't let you do it for my old family officials. Because I'm sure they can't do well. They are either stupid officials or corrupt officials. They will definitely be dealt with by you in the future. Instead of being ugly at that time, why not Better not let them do it in the first place."

After a pause, Empress Ma sighed again: "Oh, give first and then take away, and turn against each other. Maybe they still hate you."

"Why didn't you say it earlier..." Zhu Yuanzhang said depressedly, "We have canceled all the preferential treatment for fellow villagers, and we will definitely be scolded to death."

"At that time, you were so excited that you wanted to glorify your ancestors and make your fellow villagers follow suit. What should I say? Can you listen to me?" Empress Ma poked the bump on his head.

"It hurts, what are you doing?" Zhu Yuanzhang grinned his teeth in pain, hurriedly dodged and stood up, and said harshly:
"Let's make up our minds on the way back. We can't be fooled by anything we say in the future! We need to restore inspections, and we need thousands of eyes and ears to keep an eye on the troubles of the Ming Dynasty! We need to put eyeliner on those ministers Beside, we need to know what they eat for every meal and what they talk to their mother-in-law at night?! Then I don’t believe anyone can lie to us?!”

"Isn't what you said too scary?!" Empress Ma heard goosebumps all over her body and said, "If you really want to do this, don't everyone be in danger? And they report it on the basis of rumors, should you check it? Check it out. If so, who will investigate? How will they be investigated? And who will supervise them, not just to get promoted and get rich, and make random accusations?"

"Well, sister, you're right. We also thought that if you say something, you have to think about it in the long run." Zhu Yuanzhang secretly scolded himself for always being unable to hide his words in front of Empress Ma.

Empress Ma objected to resetting the school, which was not surprising to him.Because back then she clearly supported the abolition of the inspection school...

Although Zhu Yuanzhang set the rule that 'the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics', can Queen Ma be considered a harem?She is Boss Zhu's boss.

"Oh, Chongba, actually you want someone to help you keep an eye on public opinion and popular sentiment. This is great, and I support it." Empress Ma slowed down her tone and said, "It's really not what you do by putting eyeliner on a minister's house What's more, the trial must be judged by the judiciary, so that the court will not be chaotic."

"Sister, we have written down what you said." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and asked Empress Ma an extremely sharp question: "But what if the ministers collude to fool us together?"

"..." Empress Ma was silent for a moment and said, "Then there is nothing to be polite about."

"Hey, we already know that the girl is just like us in her bones." Zhu Yuanzhang was finally happy. "Don't worry, we will pay attention to propriety, and we won't make it like Wu Zetian."

"That's good." Empress Ma nodded, and asked again: "My sons, what do you plan to do next?"

"Well, no matter how you say it, the effect of this experience is really good. They are all reborn." Zhu Yuanzhang had already thought about it.

"So we are going to step up our efforts and let them serve as soldiers..."

"Where are you going? North?!" Queen Ma asked cautiously.

"No, no, how dare we let them go to the front?" Zhu Yuanzhang touched the big bag on his forehead and said, "It's in Beijing, and we can serve as soldiers right under our noses, isn't that all right?"

"That's about the same." Empress Ma finally let go and said, "But let's forget about the fifth and sixth. The fifth is not expected to be a soldier, and the sixth is still young."

"We didn't plan to let Lao Liu serve as a soldier. Liu Bowen wanted to accept him as a closed disciple, why don't you hurry up and study hard?!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked forward to: "Lao Liu just learned half of Lao Liu's skills. Nothing to worry about…”

Zhu Yuanzhang was too busy coveting Liu Bowen's knowledge, so he forgot to talk about the old five...

ps. The energy is still low, so I can only do two updates today.Go to bed early and try to write more tomorrow!
