Chapter 8 This is Desperation!

What is it called, since I knew that I was in the Hongwu period and became an official.

He basically didn't want to live anymore, and even wanted to kill himself just because he was an official under his own hands?
What do you mean by this, how much does this look down on Zhu Chongba?
It can be said that at this time Chu Ze had already stepped on Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line.

Even, it has crossed his bottom line.

However, at this moment, Chu Ze didn't take Zhu Yuanzhang's fury seriously.

He is basically in the mentality of breaking a jar.

Hold your head up and hold your chest out.

He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was on the throne very firmly.

Chu Ze finally spoke again under his comment.

"Your Majesty, to be honest, I really don't mean to look down on you. I know that you don't believe that I am from a later life, but these are not important now."

"Actually, I, a thief, worship you historical figures. You are the only unified emperor born from pure grassroots in the history of China. Not only that, the Ming Dynasty is also honored as the most bloody dynasty by our descendants .”

"The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country! This statement is by no means groundless."

"The four ancestral precepts you set up, no marriage, no tribute, no cede land, no compensation! It can be said that this alone can make me, a descendant, worship you to the peak!"

"In your legendary life, you don't even dare to make up stories to brag like that! Start with a bowl, start from nothing, and create brilliance!"

"Help me on the back of the Han people, and show off the prestige of my Chinese son!"

"The achievements you have made will be amazed by all future generations!"

"Hey, hey, can you stop flattering? Now that you know how to flatter and say good things, why did you go so early? Can you hurry up and get down to business?"

When Chu Ze was talking excitedly, an extremely abrupt voice suddenly interrupted his voice.

The sudden sound not only made Chu Ze hit back the words that were already on his lips.

It also made his sight move a little bit involuntarily.

And following the movement of his eyes are Zhu Yuanzhang's erratic eyes and Prince Zhu Biao's complaining comment.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, no wonder you are so afraid of your father, you should have been beaten a lot for your affection!"

"I have traveled through a time spanning hundreds of years, and it is rare to meet a legendary figure I have heard of before, praise the other party's achievements and express respect. It turns out that I am flattering you here."

"Don't you think that your father is not worthy of what I said?"

"You are talking nonsense, father, this son-in-law didn't mean that, I was really curious why he wanted to die so hard, son-in-law didn't..."

Zhu Di, who originally wanted to urge Chu Ze, turned pale when he heard Chu Ze's words.

He really didn't think much about it just now, but now after hearing what Chu Ze said.

It was only then that he realized that what he had said just now was beyond his level.

Others are praising his father, and then he said these words on the sidelines as flattery, isn't this the same as denying his father's achievements!
"Okay, fourth, you just need to talk less."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di, who was nervous and uncomfortable when he spoke for a while, and he gave the fourth brother a blank look.

Compared with Zhu Biaoyi, the fourth child's speaking level really needs to be improved a bit.

"Follow my father's order!"

Zhu Di himself didn't say a few words, and Zhu Di, who was scolded as soon as he opened his mouth, was like a chicken that fell into the water, and he died immediately.

And Chu Ze couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion when he saw Zhu Di's little expression of aggrieved baby!

The future Ming Chengzu, known as: Emperor Yongle who conquered the North!

When you can still have this expression, this wave of time travel is definitely not a loss!

Of course, if he could make Emperor Yongle cry once, it would definitely be bloody money!

When Chu Ze was full of black belly, Zhu Yuanzhang also looked at him.

"Okay, our merits and demerits are right or wrong, and the people of later generations will naturally evaluate them. We don't want to hear these now. You'd better hurry up, our patience is limited."

"Okay, since you've said that, I won't talk nonsense. It's not a loss to see you anyway. I'll just tell you the reason."

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's urging, Chu Ze didn't want to say anything more.

He took a deep breath, and after sorting out his words a little, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a complicated face and said.

"Your Majesty, when future generations mention you, the first thing that comes to mind is your self-made legendary life. But if you talk about Hongwu in detail, the most talked about thing is definitely the person who was an official during the Hongwu period."

"When you were young, your family was poor, and your parents starved to death because of corrupt officials who were greedy for food and grass for disaster relief. Many brothers, sisters, and neighbors also starved to death."

"This kind of experience has created your deep abhorrence of corrupt officials, and even to some extent, your abhorrence of officials."

"However, after you became the emperor, this disgusting psychology still didn't end. The officials of the Ming Dynasty basically received the lowest salary and the worst treatment since history."

"According to the records of our later generations, a magistrate of the seventh grade has a yearly salary of more than ninety ten stone meters. Calculated, it is one month, seven and a half stones."

"These salaries are not given to him alone. The county magistrate is also a person. He has to support his family. His wife, children, old and young all count on this salary."

"Besides, among the county government, the county magistrate has to support a lot of people, the gatekeepers, masters, ink grinders, guards in the reference room, etc. All of these people's source of income comes from the county magistrate himself. Monthly salary."

"It's no exaggeration to say that with this little money, it's a problem for everyone to eat."

"And people are not grass, how can they be ruthless? As a human being, there will naturally be some relatives and friends. Who hasn't had a wedding or wedding? These favors are also invisible consumption."

"In general, officials of Ming Dynasty will starve to death if they don't find ways to increase their income!"

"And to increase the extra income. Those who are officials, their family members or themselves are not allowed to do business, and they are not allowed to compete with the people for profit! Violators can be sentenced to death by Ling Chi."

"Business is not allowed, and the money is not enough, so what should I do? I can't watch my wife and children starve to death on the street, right? The only thing I can do is to take risks and be greedy."

"As for your temperament, you have never shown mercy to greed. Being greedy is tantamount to death."

 Good morning, report to me, ask for favorites and support!
