Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 90 Supernatural Powers

The Ming Dynasty imposed severe punishments and laws, practiced strict frugality, strict laws, and low treatment for officials, all of which were unprecedented.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang's law is not a display. If you commit a crime, he will really trick you, and he will not let you go just because you are a scholar.

Because Boss Zhu came from a miserable poor family, he knows how ordinary people live.The treatment he gave officials was much more comfortable than that of ordinary people.

If you think the salary is low and there are too many rules, then don't do it.If you don't do it, some people rush to do it!
In addition, because Boss Zhu has no education, he has been discriminated against by scholars since he was young, so he dislikes scholars in his bones.

Even after he has become a vassal, or even the emperor, he still feels that they will mock him when they see the opportunity.

Therefore, it is very difficult for scholars to get along under his hands. They cross the river with their eggs all day long, and they are often blamed.

The most unacceptable thing for them is that Zhu Yuanzhang actually cut off the bridge connecting scholars. In the sixth year of Hongwu, he stopped the imperial examination that lasted for more than 700 years on the grounds that all the scholars he obtained in the imperial examination were nerds who lacked practical ability to do things. !Instead, local recommendation and Guozijian cultivated practical talents.

This is tantamount to digging out the lifeblood of a scholar. Which scholar in the world doesn't hate Zhu Yuanzhang so much?

Especially the Zhejiang literati who monopolized the national cultural resources and almost won the three imperial examinations before the founding of the country.

For various reasons, they naturally missed Zhang Shicheng one after another...

How can Lao Zhu bear it now?Thinking that the literati in eastern Zhejiang were not familiar with raising them, they used the Wei Guan case to kill chickens and monkeys, and sentenced Gao Qi, who took the lead in missing Zhang Shicheng, to be cut in half!

Scholars did not expect that Boss Zhu, who became the emperor, would dare to attack the number one talented person in the south of the Yangtze River so ruthlessly.For a while, the literati in the south of the Yangtze River were silent, but anyone who had anything to do with Zhang Shicheng felt in danger.

People like Luo Guanzhong and Shi Naian who served as Zhang Shicheng's aides, of course no one would dare to have anything to do with them.Give them a book?
Isn't that 'King Wu of Qin playing with a tripod - tired of living'?

In a bistro room.

The myopic Luo Guanzhong finally gave up using chopsticks, reached out and grabbed a handful of broad beans, and put one in his mouth to eat.Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Actually, I wasn't the one who went to look for your master. Luo has been a freak for half his life. He owes a lot to his family, but he has never been sorry to his friends."

Han Yike nodded, he believed it.Otherwise, he wouldn't risk his relationship to meet Luo Guanzhong.

"When I sent the manuscript to your master, I haven't heard back for several years, so I don't have any hope." Luo Guanzhong continued: "Who knows, at the end of the first month, I suddenly received a letter from your master, inviting me to Beijing for a visit. meet."

"My master invited you to go?" Han Yike was quite surprised. For the past two years, Liu Bowen thanked guests behind closed doors. Even his former student was not allowed to come, so that no one knew about their relationship.

Why did you suddenly take a big turn?
"Yes, he promised me that as long as you help me settle the matter here, he will help me publish a book." Luo Guanzhong nodded.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Han Yi laughed.

"The five Your Highnesses are in your county, don't you need help?" Luo Guanzhong asked like a cannonball: "Mingjiao is revived in Fengyang, you don't need help? Immigrants from the south of the Yangtze River and the people in Xiuzhong capital are in full swing, don't you?" need help?"

"What five highnesses?" Han Yike subconsciously pretended to be confused.

"Hong Hao, Hong Bin, Hong Ji, Hong Yu, Hong E." Luo Guanzhong reported five names that made Han Yike's scalp explode, and commented with great interest:
"Hong, it should be Zhu Hongwu's Hong, or Zhu Zhehong. This surname is not bad. The name of this person seems to be uneducated at first glance, and they made it up in order to make up the five elements."

"Of course, it's not completely hard to make up. The king of Qin was sealed in Xi'an, referred to as Hao, so he was called Hong Hao; the king of Jin was sealed in Taiyuan, referred to as Bing, so he was called Hong Bin; the king of Yan was sealed in Beiping, referred to as Ji, so he was called Hong Ji ;The king of Chu was entrusted in Wuchang, referred to as E, so he is called Hong E."

After Luo Guanzhong finished speaking, he felt that he missed something, and he paused for a while before adding: "Oh, by the way, there is also King Wu. He was enshrined in Suzhou, referred to as Wu, so he is called Hong Yu... Hehe, Hong Yu and Hong Wu, like His title is just as messy."

"..." Han Yike completely believed that he was invited by the master.Otherwise, it's easy to say, how could it be possible to know the top secret of the five Highnesses in Linhuai and their aliases.

Seeing that Han Yike's complexion changed, Luo Guanzhong laughed teasingly again: "Bo Shi, you are sitting on the mouth of a cannon that will knock you into the sky at any time, and you still pretend to be nonchalant. This strength really makes Brother Yu feel ashamed."

"Why can't I just pretend nothing happened?" Han Yike forced a laugh and said, "The troublesome things you mentioned all happened in Zhongdu City, in Fengyang County, what's the matter with Linhuai County, which is twenty miles away from me? relation?"

"Zhu Hongwu gave you the right to play in secret, are you so passive?" Luo Guanzhong looked at him in a fog, and threw out another trump card:
"Your teacher also asked me to tell you that next month, Zhu Hongwu will officially issue an edict announcing that gold and silver will be abolished in the whole country, and paper money will be used. Everyone must exchange their gold and silver into paper money within the specified time. In this matter, you Linhuai County can't be alone, can you?"

"So fast?" Han Yike gasped.

He naturally knew that the imperial court set up a treasure banknote lifting department last year to prepare for the issuance of treasure banknotes.But at that time, the ruling and opposition parties generally believed that this was a big matter and we must be cautious.After all, everyone has experienced the consequences of the excessive issuance of banknotes at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

According to the emperor's rigorous style of governing the country, it must be tried first and then revised. It will take a few years before it is really implemented.Why is it going to be implemented nationwide in the new year?

"That's not true. There are six types of denominations ranging from [-] Wen to Yiguan. Yiguan is exchanged for [-] Wen or silver for [-] tael, and Siguan is exchanged for [-] tael of gold." Luo Guanzhong said with a smile: "That is to say, the court will take a piece of paper money. , in exchange for one tael of silver in your hand; if you take four, it will exchange you for one tael of gold."

"This, this is not..." Han Yike swallowed the words 'nonsense' abruptly, and changed his words: "It is likely that something will happen."

"I don't know if it's chaotic elsewhere, but Fengyang must be chaotic!" Luo Guanzhong said with a gleeful smile, "Those rich households from the south of the Yangtze River who were forcibly moved here exchanged all their houses and lands for gold and silver. Now Zhu Hongwu They want to turn their gold and silver into paper again, tsk tsk, this is really peeling and eating meat, and sucking the bones..."

Looking at Han Yike again, he was already in a cold sweat, drinking one cup after another non-stop.

"I know you have concerns, and you are responsible for the safety of the five Highnesses; you don't have solid evidence, and you're afraid you'll be put in jail again; you feel that even if you have evidence, you will definitely not be able to win against the Han Gong and his gang..." Luo Guanzhong first understood I said a few words to him, then changed the subject and paused every word:
"But can you really harden your mind and do nothing? Why wait for the end to die together?"

"I can't turn a blind eye..." Han Yike shook his head in pain and said, "But the matter is too big, I can't stand it alone."

"Who made you do it alone? Besides, the sky is falling and the sky is falling. Don't you have five princes in your county? Why don't you guide them to discover the truth?" Luo Guanzhong suggested to him.

"This..." Han Yike was obviously moved. In fact, it's not that he didn't think of this method, but he didn't dare.

"What if something happens to your highness? My whole family can't afford it."

"What are you afraid of? Zhu Hongwu asked them to wear white dragon fish clothes and go to the folks to practice. Just be prepared in case something goes wrong." Luo Guanzhong was very optimistic about Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Aren't you afraid that the world will not be chaotic?" Han Yike looked at him suspiciously, suspecting that this guy had no good intentions.

"I'm not so dark. The world will be divided for a long time, and it will be united for a long time. Since the destiny belongs to Zhu Hongwu, I don't want the world to be divided again, and the common people will suffer again." Luo Guanzhong said lightly.

"Oh, let me think about it..." Han Yike was caught in a tangle.
