Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

Chapter 186 The money was not in place, I feel wronged!What do you say we are? 【Subscribe】

Cursing sounds continued to come from the pit.

Erhu's expression changed, and he quickly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the pit was dug by the minister, and it was the minister who Li Xiao scolded, not your majesty."

"Humph."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and didn't say much.

It also depends on you being my grandson-in-law, if you don't know the situation, don't blame those who don't know.

"Leave him alone for a while."

Hearing that the pit has already begun to scold the eighteen generations of ancestors, Zhu Yuanzhang intends to make this kid suffer.

"Sit down, Your Majesty."

Erhu took a small folding bench and put it on the ground.

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned against the big tree and sat under the tree to enjoy the shade.

After sitting for a while, the shouts in the pit became "Help", "Is there anyone?", "Help me".
Another half an hour passed, and the voice became smaller and smaller.
In short, no one cares.

Li Xiao yelled and couldn't see a single figure.

Because of this way, Jin Yiwei has already given him a round.

Passers-by can only make a detour.

At this time, Li Xiao, who was in the pit, was suffering in his heart.

It is said that you should not use the phone while driving, otherwise it is easy to get into a car accident, and this is true.

just now.

While riding a horse, Li Xiao talked telepathically with his wife on the phone.

Tell her that she will be back soon, and there will be surprises.
I was chatting vigorously, and suddenly fell into a pit, and I didn't recover from it at all.

"Ah, the first car accident in the Ming Dynasty, it happened later than before."

Li Xiao wanted to cry but had no tears. Looking around, there were only dirt walls.

The pothole has to be five or six meters long.

I don't know which heartless person dug such a hole on the road.

In normal times, relying on Li Xiao's skill, he could easily get out of trouble.

But this horse weighs a thousand kilograms. When it fell, the horse turned over and pressed on its body. With the acceleration of gravity, it pressed on its legs, and the legs broke.

Although Li Xiao has the body of a peerless general, but a peerless general is also an individual, and cannot use internal force to heal his injuries like the martial arts masters in the novel.

Li Xiao pulled his foot out of the horse with all his strength, touched the bone of the foot, and felt it with his consummation-level medical skills.

"It's okay, it's not serious, it's just that it hurts for a hundred days, and I'm afraid it will take some time to recover."

Li Xiao secretly thought he was lucky, and at the same time reminded himself in his heart.

Although his attribute points are already full, he is not invincible.

Poison, poisonous smoke, traps, and other messy things may harm one's life, and these things are impossible to guard against.

Li Xiao looked at the dead horse in front of him, "Horse, horse, I'm sorry, cast a good pregnancy in your next life and be a human being."

The fall just now really knocked Li Xiao to pieces, and he got a little tired from calling for help.

"Worshiping Buddha is worse than playing disco, and asking for others is better than asking yourself."

Li Xiao lay in the pit, planning to take a rest to recover his strength, and then find a way to get out.

After resting for half an hour, Li Xiao suddenly opened his eyes.

He heard the sound of horseshoes and carriages, someone should be coming.

On the road outside, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting in an ordinary carriage, and Erhu was riding the carriage as the driver, driving towards this side.

"Help! Help!!"

Li Xiao hurriedly yelled loudly.

Although my leg was broken, I still have strength in my hands, and I can climb up if anyone throws a rope to me.

"It seems that there is someone, master, let me go over and have a look."

Erhu said something outside, then walked over, looked down the pit, and then shouted towards the carriage: "Master, there is a big pit here, and a young man fell into it."

Li Xiao saw someone, and quickly waved: "Brother, help me, the kindness of a drop of water will be repaid by the spring, if you throw a rope down, I, Li, will definitely thank you!"

Generally, a thick hemp rope will be prepared on the carriage.

It can be used when the wheels are stuck in mud or rolled over.

"You wait."

Erhu shouted.

Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang also got down from the carriage, looked down into the pit, and said, "Young man, why are you so careless that you didn't see such a big pit?"

"Grandpa, please do me a favor and help me. I will be very grateful." Li Xiao lit up the golden bean in Liang Liang's hand, and had no choice but to form a habit.

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback, and immediately scolded: "You young man doesn't know good and bad, are we greedy for money? If you don't tell me, we will save you."

And this time,
Erhu had already tied the rope to the carriage, and dropped the other end.

"Thank you, old man."

Li Xiao grabbed the rope, and with his strong arms, he climbed out directly through the rope.

Originally, Erhu planned to pull him out, but later found that it was unnecessary.

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback by this.

This grandson-in-law can, and can actually climb out by himself.

After crawling out, Li Xiao wanted to stand up, but found that his feet hurt badly, and grinned.

Zhu Yuanzhang was startled, thinking that he must have broken his foot, right?

If I knew that Erhu was going to come up with such a bad idea, I might as well give up.

"Young man, is your leg okay?"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Erhu coldly and said, "Don't go and see."

Erhu's heart tightened, and he quickly squatted down to check, knowing that he had indeed done too much this time, and the Holy One might be a little unhappy.

Hey. The two tigers sighed inwardly, being with you is like being with a tiger.

In fact, the two tigers are also difficult to do. After Zhu Yuanzhang made this request, he thought about it all night, but he didn't understand it.

In addition, time is tight, and this matter must be kept secret and cannot be discussed with others.

So I had to think of a simple and crude method.

"no, I'm fine."

Li Xiao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "To tell you the truth, I am a doctor myself. I checked it myself just now, and there is nothing serious. I just need to recuperate for a few days."

hear this,

Erhu breathed a sigh of relief, and helped Li Xiao to sit in front of the carriage.

"Old man, and this brother, I don't know how to call him?"

Li Xiao cupped his hands.

No matter what, if others saved themselves, they still have to be grateful.

After living in Daming for so long, this is the first time I have received favors from others. Before that, it was others who received favors from me.

"My name is Zhang Hu. This is the head of our family. You can call him Master Huang."

Erhu introduced himself.

Then he introduced the new identity prepared for Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a smile and said: "You can call me old man, it sounds kind."

It is said that the first impression of a person is very important, and it is born from the heart.

Li Xiao has a handsome appearance and a kind face, and the distance between them is invisible.

In addition, it was originally Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson-in-law, so it's okay to call him the old man.

Actually, it's not just because of Li Xiao's kind face, but because he still bought a buff in the system mall.

This buff is called "approachable". Anyone who comes into contact with Li Xiao will feel like a spring breeze, and right now, Zhu Yuanzhang has this feeling.

"That's fine, I'll call you old man."

Li Xiao smiled and said, "My surname is Li, my name is Xiao, and I'm from Peking. Thank you, old man, for helping me out, by the way."

As he said that, he took out seven or eight golden beans and handed them over: "Old man, you can continue."

Erhu's forehead dripped with sweat on the spot.

Good guy, it's the first time for a golden girl to get on a sedan chair for rewarding the saint.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little displeased at the moment, and said: "I said you, I saved you, is it because of your little money? If you insult us with money, where did you come from, where do you go back, Zhang Hu , throw him back into the pit."

Li Xiao: "????"

Li Xiao's head is full of black lines. It's been a long time since he's been in Daming, and this is the first time he's seen such an old man with a weird temper.

But now it seems that the other party saved him out of good intentions, and this person is not short of money, and he was kind-hearted in ancient times, and he was indeed a little insulting.

"Old man, you blamed me wrongly."

Fortunately, Li Xiao has also learned some skills of observing words and expressions and speaking in the palace these days, so he hastily changed his words: "I want to ask the old man to do me a little favor, I have trouble with my legs and feet, I hope you can give me a ride, by the way Find an inn for me to stay in. The money is the inn's fee, so I can't let the old man pay it."

"It's almost there."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head, motioned for Zhang Hu to take the golden beans, and said, "One is enough."

Erhu nodded, walked over, and took a golden bean from Li Xiao's hand.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Why do you want to stay in the inn? Don't you have any relatives in Nanjing?"

Li Xiao explained: "To be honest, I just came to Nanjing to visit relatives, and now I'm going back to Beiping."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Then why do you want to stay in an inn?"

Li Xiao smiled and said: "As the saying goes, we pass on good things to our families, and we keep foreign things in our hearts. This is just a small matter for me. If you are away from home, there is no need to worry your family."

Li Xiao didn't want his family to worry about him. After all, his father-in-law and those brothers-in-law were still fighting for the throne, so why let them worry about their own affairs?

Which is more important, Li Xiao can still figure it out.

Ningyun couldn't say anything about it, if that girl knew that she had sprained her ankle, she probably could have run all the way from Beiping to take care of her.

"I can't see, you are quite family-friendly."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly, thinking that this grandson-in-law is a good man. He only spreads good news to the family and does not pass bad news. He is a man.

At this time, Erhu suggested: "Patriarch, it's still far away from the city, or we can put him in the yard of our house, and we will be there soon after a few miles."

It turned out that the two tigers settled in the yard, which was okay. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "That's okay, let's settle in our yard."

As he said that, he looked at Li Xiao and said, "There is a village in front, and we have a yard there. Would you like to settle you there for a few days to recuperate?"

"I live wherever I want."

Li Xiao smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'll trouble the old man."

"No trouble, we are destined to be with you. After so many years, this is the first time we have saved someone."

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, then boarded the carriage and ordered Zhang Hu to help Li Xiao up.

Into the carriage.

Li Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, but worried that no one would save him until night.

"It's really strange, this road is very good, why there is a pit."

After getting into the carriage, Li Xiao frowned after sitting firmly.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You ask me, who should I ask?"

Li Xiao smiled: "Grandpa, I didn't ask you. I was just wondering. I guess corrupt officials cut corners when building roads. Over time, the roads cracked and collapsed."

Unexpectedly, the other party found a reason to explain himself, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled knowingly, and thought, no one dares to be greedy at the feet of the emperor.
Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

He suddenly thought of the Enke Hall built in the palace many years ago.

The first time I went in, I stepped on the floor tiles and broke a big hole.

The man who built the palace was Ma Nanshan recommended by Li Shanchang.

Neither of them lived long anyway.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It's possible. Corrupt officials are hateful! We hate those corrupt officials the most in our life. Today's sage has done a good job and killed countless corrupt officials. It's a pity that people's hearts are not as good as ancient snakes. Corrupt officials are like weeds, one group is killed, and another group emerges, and there is no end to killing them all."

"It's true that you can't finish killing, after all, it's still."

Li Xiao smiled and said, but didn't continue talking.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't finish killing corrupt officials because there were some problems in the system. Officials' salaries were too small to maintain their dignity, so it was inevitable that they would not move evil thoughts.

"Young man, you seem to have something to say, but you dare not say it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked over, wanting to hear Li Xiao's opinion. After all, this grandson-in-law is very talented in dealing with various disasters, so he might be able to give an opinion.

"Some things really shouldn't be said indiscriminately."

Li Xiao smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.

"What are you afraid of? There are no outsiders here. God knows you and I know you. What are you afraid of?" Zhu Yuanzhang induced.

"No, no, no, no, no, no."

Li Xiao smiled and waved his hands.

"You can't say half of what you said. You have aroused our desires, just like the script in the martial arts edition of the Great Moon, which makes people feel bad!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a bad mood.

Li Xiao said with a smile: "The old man has also read the story book Tianlongbabu?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I've seen it, it's bad luck, I don't have anything to say when I see the most exciting part, I can't wait to pull out the person who published the newspaper and beat him up."

Li Xiao: "."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Don't be a fool, what is the second half of what you said just now?"

Seeing the old man's eagerness for talent, Li Xiao used [He Xintong] to look at his inner thoughts.

[I'm so anxious, this kid, half-spoken, it makes people's heart itch, but you said it, are you afraid that we won't make it to the outside world? ?Hmph, how could we pass it on to others, who should we pass it on to? ? 】

Hearing this voice, Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the old man who saved him, although he has a weird temper, is also a master who keeps his promises and will not spread the word.

Since it is not rumored, there is no harm in talking about it.

"Okay, old man, you saved me without asking for anything in return, and I don't need to hide it."

"Come on, don't give a shit."

Li Xiao said, "Actually, the Holy Majesty certainly has a good heart. He wants to save the memory of the Ming Dynasty, the common people, and the common people of the world! It's a pity that something went wrong with his approach, which led to the endless killing of corrupt officials all over the world! The main reasons are: For two reasons."

At first Zhu Yuanzhang was delighted to hear it, but he frowned slightly behind him.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself, this kid really had an idea, and asked hastily, "Which two?"

Li Xiao said: "The first reason. That is that the money was not paid in place, and I feel wronged."

This is not made up by myself, but it was concluded by Mr. Ma in later generations.

During this period of time, Li Xiao served as the magistrate of the county, which can be regarded as going deep into the grassroots.

Even the grass roots are full of corruption, not to mention the top.

"The money is not in place, feel wronged??"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "I thought you had some great ideas, superficial! You also said that the money was not in place, but we heard that some time ago, the Holy Majesty added salaries to officials all over the world. The salaries of those officials are comparable to those of ordinary people. There are too many. To say that you are wronged is even more nonsense. You have power in your hands, why are you wronged? What is there to be wronged?? From what you mean, the Holy Majesty has treated them too badly?"

"That's right, it's a little bad."

Li Xiao nodded.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang very angry.

He set salaries for officials, but he studied them carefully.

Neither let the officials get too rich, so as not to degenerate.

It can't be too poor, it's much better than the common people.

But to put it badly, this is simply nonsense.

Zhu Yuanzhang held back the anger in his heart, and calmly asked the question: "Tell me, what's wrong? I think you are just saying good things to those corrupt officials."

"I have something nice to say to corrupt officials."

Li Xiao was also a little unconvinced.

Since you don't know, let me explain it to you.

Li Xiao explained: "The first is the salary. The salary of officials in the Ming Dynasty is too low. Think about it, whoever is an official has not studied hard for decades and gone through many tests to get an official position. The cost of time is so high. As a result, they earn more money than ordinary people. I heard that some upright officials still wear patched clothes, look, it’s hard to be an upright official.”

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang himself has thought about this issue. This is what he discussed with Zhu Biao not long ago, and he added salaries to officials.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Didn't your majesty increase your salary not long ago?"

Li Xiao said with a smile: "Speaking of the salary increase, I have something to say, what is added is not silver, but Daming treasure notes."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Isn't the Daming banknote just money? What's the difference?"

Li Xiao said: "The old man must have not gone shopping for a long time. Is that Daming banknote still called money? Isn't that straw paper?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart moved, and he was about to explode, but he suppressed his impulse and asked, "Why did you say that? The Ming Dynasty's banknotes are worthless again?"

That's right, Zhu Yuanzhang said the word "again".

Because Hongwu 18th year and Hongwu [-]th year, Daming treasure banknotes were promoted both times.

The back has become waste paper, and the people don't recognize it.

"It fell like straw paper, one price a day."

Li Xiao said: "Isn't this just nonsense? The precious banknotes are not linked to gold, so the court takes it for granted and prints as much as it wants. It is inevitable that it will become straw paper later. My father-in-law suffered a big loss, and the silver was exchanged." The price of the precious banknotes has dropped by half in the future, and the mansion is almost out of business, and it's thanks to me for helping him."

This.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't hear the news, and the court still issued the treasured banknotes.

But no one mentioned this matter. These idiots really reported good news but not bad news. I haven't come down for a long time, and I really don't know the suffering of the people.

If I let the officials and vassals take the lead this time, can't I promote the precious banknotes?

Even Zhu Di was at a disadvantage, the mansion was almost out of order?

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and asked after a while: "What do you mean when you say that the banknotes are linked to gold?"

Li Xiao waved his hand: "This involves the principle that the value of banknotes can not be devalued. It is too complicated. You don't understand it, and we can't make the decision. It doesn't matter if you don't talk about it."

finished speaking,

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyelids obviously twitched.

It seems that the promotion of Baochao has failed again
But the grandson-in-law said that there is a way to keep the treasure from depreciating! ! !

If it can be done
I must get this method myself! !

Li Xiao spoke at this time, and said: "Come back to business, in short, the depreciation of the treasure banknotes means that the salaries of those officials have not been increased, so the money is still not paid in place. The officials have little money, and corruption is prone to occur when there is little money."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, that's what Zhu Biao analyzed with himself at the time.

He shook his head again and said, "In the final analysis, I am still greedy. Even if it is less, it is much better than ordinary people."

Why is this old man's mind a little off? Li Xiao explained:

"But the common people don't have to study hard for decades, they have to walk thousands of troops across the single-plank bridge to take the imperial examinations, and there are more students who have spent more than ten years of hard work and endured for a lifetime. In the end, they have nothing and starved to death in the broken grass huts Li. With this level of difficulty, the official position they get is better than that of the common people. Can they balance their hearts??? Besides, being an official is not as good as the common people. You need money to maintain your dignity.”

"Could it be that being an official is for money?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked rhetorically.

Li Xiao spread his hands: "Isn't it? Most of them are for money. In fact, people are very vulgar. It's too difficult to make them noble. Confucius can't do it. If he can do it, he can do it." Can there be so many corrupt officials? Which one does not make people worry about daily necessities? It is too difficult to restrain people with morality. We need to use a system, a reasonable system.”

After listening to these words.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

If ordinary people dared to say that in front of him, I'm afraid he would have taken the head off long ago, which was questioning his decision-making.

But these words came out of Li Xiao's mouth.
He studied Li Xiao's paper for a long time, and felt that Li Xiao was very talented.

So Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it a bit more, and felt that what he just said was indeed reasonable.

Confucius, a sage, could not be noble for everyone, so how could he do it?
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it for a long time, but he didn't know whether it was right or wrong.

Although he is an emperor, he is also a mortal, and he does not have Li Xiao's vision for future generations to understand the rise and fall of history.

"You said that your heart is wronged, so what's going on?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"This one is even simpler."

Li Xiao smiled and said: "Being an official in the Ming Dynasty, there are many things to do and little rest. Among other things, let's talk about the official position of magistrate, a small official of sesame mung bean, and a group of people suppress it.

The first level of the official ranks crushes people to death, and everyone who comes has to be coaxed and hugged.

The days of rest throughout the year can be counted on one hand.

Not only to deal with superiors, but also with subordinates.

There are thousands of threads on the top and one needle on the bottom.

The cutting is constant, and the reasoning is still chaotic.
Don't all government orders be implemented at the county level after they are issued?
But what is below the county level?
Nothing!

If the imperial power does not go to the countryside, there will be no court institutions any further down.

If the magistrate wants to do a good job, he has to establish a good relationship with the local gentry and gentry, otherwise the job cannot be carried out.

With a good relationship, it is inevitable that there will be corruption problems, it is inevitable!

Well done, the people said that the county magistrate colluded with the gentry to fight against each other.

If it is not done well, the officials will be gone, and the head will not be safe.

You just say that this official is not difficult to become, and you are not wronged.

You have to please the top, and you have to please the bottom, and you have to make friends with the local gentry.

It is open all year round, and the salary is still small.

In such a high-pressure environment, people are prone to abnormalities in their hearts. After paying so much, can't they be greedy? "

Li Xiao has been the magistrate for so long, this is his experience.

Fortunately, he is the son-in-law of King Yan, and he can do everything according to his own wishes.

Most of the ordinary county magistrates are like this.

"It seems reasonable."

After listening, Zhu Yuanzhang fell into deep thought again.

He knew that Li Xiao had worked as a county magistrate, and the other party didn't know his identity, so he probably said the most truthful words.

On weekdays, when those officials saw him, they didn't dare to tell the truth.

But Li Xiao's words were different from what he usually heard.

It's really different, and it's been said very thoroughly.

The money is not in place, I feel wronged
Is this really the case that will lead to rampant corruption that cannot be eradicated?
This has always been a problem in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, and it has not been resolved for more than ten years.

conversation room.

A group of people entered a village.

The village is criss-crossed with farmland.

At this time, the carriage had already arrived outside a yard.

The yard is quite big, probably covering half an acre of land.

This yard was prepared by Erhu in advance, not only for Zhu Yuanzhang, but also for his identity. In short, Li Xiao was not allowed to know His Majesty's identity.

"Patriarch, we're here."

Erhu shouted.

"Zhang Hu, help this young man to the room."

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered.

Afterwards, Li Xiao entered the yard. The yard was quite large, with some vegetables, melons and fruits planted in it, a well, and a few rocking chairs. It was clean and tidy.

"Old man, your environment is not bad, the air is sober, much better than the inn, my golden bean is really worth it."

Li Xiao said with a smile.

"Let's just say, I don't want your little money to save you. No wonder you kid just talked about money, vulgar!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a bad mood.

Li Xiao said with a smile: "People in the world are in a panic, but they just want to smash a few taels of silver, but this few taels of silver can solve all kinds of panic in the world, keep the elderly healthy and healthy for thousands of years, children can go to school, and they can get daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, and five grains. You don't understand now, people who treat money like dung are either very powerful or rich. I think you, old man, are either high-ranking officials or big businessmen."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became interested.

This kid talks one set of principles, like that.

"Oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Then what kind of people do you think we are?"

The voice fell.

The two tigers on the side choked for breath,
Can't help getting nervous
