People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 362 What are you doing teasing her?
Zhang Yi instantly understood what Xu's girl meant.

This little girl is too smart, living in this era is actually not necessarily a good thing.

She missed her own good because of his argument with Uncle Huang last time.

The so-called emphasis on female virtue is a cultural heritage of inferiority complex.

Everyone has their own Tao to practice, and it is placed on Xu's girl, mainly because of her wisdom and daughter's body, which makes her seem out of place in this world.

Her words that seemed normal in later generations, but in this era, can make people crazy really moved her.

But it's actually of no benefit to her personally to go into a dead end.

Zhang Yi wants to change the world, but he also knows that there is not much he can do.

He can protect Li Shi, but he can't change other people's minds.

The magistrate who is in charge of one party's political power can take it for granted that the Li family, who has no males, should be disposed of by the clan.

Three outlooks are the most difficult thing to change in this world.

To insist on being out of tune with this world will make life very tiring.

As a modern person, he doesn't feel anything, but women living in this era feel especially uncomfortable.

"Don't even think about it..."

Zhang Yi gave the girl of Xu's family a slight brain break.

Under the pain, the Xu family girl covered her head and glared at him.

"Let's go, go find Meng Yao!"

When Meng Yao was mentioned, the Xu family girl showed a strange look on her face:
"I want to ask you something..."

Zhang Yi was about to walk forward, but when he heard her words, he stopped.

Xu Miaoyun's attitude is a bit twitchy:

"Is your engagement with Mengyao true or false?"

Zhang Yi was stunned, where did he think about this question?

When Meng Yao was asked to call him Mr. Xianggong, in essence, he remembered the warnings of Lao Huang and Liu Ji, planned ahead, and gave an explanation to the world.

In fact, his approach was so successful that he once blocked the mouth of Yingtian Zhifu.

Without the shameless framing of the other party behind him, Zhang Yi would not have been imprisoned.

The marriage contract between Meng Yao and him was just a joke, but thinking of his little sister, Zhang Yi laughed.

If it's serious, he doesn't mind.

Meng Yao was by his side, she was his younger sister and also his disciple...

It seems not bad to raise a little wife by yourself?

Zhang Yi didn't think much about this matter, no matter how anxious he was, he wouldn't think about a little girl of a few years old.

He thought to himself and laughed.

This laughter made Xu's girl a little anxious:
"why are you laughing?"

"Originally it was fake, but Pindao thinks that it would be nice if he can get married with Meng Yao!"

"Why not bad?"

"Women in this world are knowledgeable and reasonable, but interesting people are scarce!

Pindao has a weird temper and has little interest in those puppets!
The so-called marriage is hard to find, it's better to pull the thread for yourself all the time..."

Zhang Yi babbled nonsense, and Xu's girl retorted:
"It's the order of your parents, the words of a matchmaker! If you mess around, will Daoist Zhang agree?"

Zhang Yi retorted:

"My father can't take care of my affairs, and if I really look for Meng Yao, my father will agree..."

Zhang Yi was right when he said that, Zhang Normal had recently lived in the capital for a while, and he also liked Meng Yao very much.

Xu Miaoyun: ...

Seeing him like this, she was inexplicably upset.

It seems that I have a beloved toy that was taken away by someone.

"What are you doing with a mournful face? Could it be that you are still jealous?"

Zhang Yi was just making a joke at first, but he is used to being mean.

However, the Xu family's girl's complexion ranged from red to blue, and there was still a hint of panic.

She ran away...

"Um……"

Zhang Yi finally felt that something was wrong. Why is this scene a bit like a TV show?
But this age is wrong, a seven-year-old kid, what are you doing to me?
"This cheap mouth problem has to be changed!"

Although he has traveled through many years, he also knows his speech habits, and sometimes he still maintains the appearance of his previous life.

Sometimes what seemed to him to be just a joke, but to people of this era, it was offensive.

"It's a disease to tease people casually, we need to change it!

But this little girl is too precocious! "

Zhang Yi shook his head, then turned to look for Meng Yao and Xu Yungong.

But after he left, the Xu family girl appeared out of nowhere.

Her expression was one of loss.

It's not that she has developed something towards Zhang Yi that she shouldn't have at her age, but the Xu family girl also understands one thing.

"You always tell me to adapt to this world, but you remind me how unreasonable it is!"

Rather than the so-called love between men and women, Zhang Yi and Zhu Yuanzhang's words about "inheritance of inferiority complex" shocked Xu's girl far more than the feelings between men and women.

She regards Zhang Yi as the only fellow Taoist who understands her in this world.

only……

Zhang Yi's sudden decision seems to be different from the hidden life plan in her heart.

"Ugh!"

Young girls first know the taste of sorrow...

……

Zhang Yi lived in Xu Mansion for three days.

It's not that he lingers in Xu's residence, but that the wind and rain outside are a bit heavy!

Zhu Biao didn't let others go because of the deaths of Yingtianfu Yamen and Jiangning County Yamen.

Following Zhang Yi's case, he began to rectify the officialdom.

Why did Dali Temple easily agree to the case of Ying Tianfu Yamen?

Why did Yushitai completely stop speaking out in this turmoil?
It was only then that the officials discovered that once the members of Old Zhu's family became stubborn, they were actually pretty much the same.

His Royal Highness is also establishing his own authority through this incident.

Jin Yiwei dispatched and imprisoned officials one by one. Only then did the old foxes in the court realize that they would be held accountable for their inaction.

"Master Liu, Lord Liu, you must help me intercede with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Lord Liu, since ancient times, who has been able to deal with officials, His Highness the Crown Prince made a bad start..."

Liu Ji's imperial censor platform began to become lively.

A while ago, Liu Bowen had been isolated by his colleagues for forcibly interfering in Zhang Yi's case.

But Zhu Biao started to deal with the matter. These officials of the Eastern Zhejiang faction began to think of Liu Bowen, the leader of Eastern Zhejiang.

Liu Ji smiled wryly.

These people probably really scared Jin Yiwei.

That person named Li Qingmo was probably from Jinyiwei, you tortured people from Jinyiwei like that.

It would be strange if Jin Yiwei didn't kill a few people to sacrifice to heaven.

However, in the face of these people's requests, he still silently agreed.

A contradiction in one matter does not change their position of relying on each other.

Fellowship is the best bond in official circles.

He, the leader of the Eastern Zhejiang faction, also needs these people to check and balance Li Shanchang.

"Everyone, you can try it, old man!
But you should understand the conflict between Yushitai and Jinyiwei!

I have a few words to share with you! "

The officials in eastern Zhejiang fell silent.

"Why did Your Majesty set up a Jinyiwei to divide the power belonging to Yushitai?"

Liu Ji first asked a question, but everyone couldn't answer.

"Because the Yushitai was lost to the public, the responsibility of the Yushitai itself is to supervise...

If you just rely on your likes and dislikes and don’t ask why, your Majesty doesn’t need such a Yushitai…”

Those officials understood what Liu Ji was implying, and they blushed immediately.

Didn't their catastrophe today come from this?
The dissatisfaction with them in the palace exploded through this incident.

"Forget it, the old man will go to the palace to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Liu Ji left Yushitai and entered the palace all the way.

In the East Palace, after Zhu Biao listened to Liu Ji's appeal, he said with a smile:

"Master Liu thinks, why does the palace concoct those censors?"

Liu Ji suddenly realized that Zhu Biao was trying to restore his prestige.

"His Majesty's methods have become more and more tactful, quite like His Majesty!"

Liu Ji's praise was sincere. Zhu Biao was 13 years old when he supervised the country, but it only took him a short time to get rid of the constraints of Li Shanchang and others, and independently completed the intervention in Zhang Yi's case.

Through Zhang Yi's case, Zhu Biao quickly established authority in the court.

And the liquidation behind him, wooing and suppressing!

It's far beyond what a child should have.

"I can't wait!"

Zhu Biao was very happy with Liu Ji's sincere approval.

However, he was not proud, but thought of his few remaining lifespans.

Although it is said that allicin is very likely to help him solve the death disaster, he also understands that this matter is by no means [-]% sure.

If he can pass that death calamity, he will pass it. If he can't, it will be in the little time he has left.

It's also good to help the father to share his worries.

Liu Ji is doomed not to understand his mood, and Zhu Biao doesn't want to explain too much.

After finishing their business, the two began to turn the topic to state affairs.

The most important thing in Ming Dynasty today is a series of reforms presided over by Zhu Yuanzhang...

And the center of gravity of the reform is Zhejiang.

"The civil uprisings in Zhejiang are one after another!
Master Liu, do you have any good ideas? "

The civil upheaval originated from commercial taxation, and it also originated from the elderly in front of us.

Liu Ji heard this and lowered his head in thought.

In fact, everyone knows well, what is the so-called civil uprising?

It's nothing more than rich local households coercing public opinion to oppose reform.

Zhejiang has just experienced the baptism of a pirate case, and encountered a large immigration.

Now after the sea ban, the commercial tax has come again.

This is equivalent to cutting knives on the rich families in Zhejiang.

No wonder they don't.

If it was the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, probably the wealthy households in these places would pull up banners and rebel.

But now that Ming Dynasty has a powerful military, those landlords and wealthy households dare not really rebel against the court.

This is what is meant by the so-called civil uprising, which means controlling the intensity of the protest between rebellion and non-rebellion.

This move has always been a good means for the local government to deal with the central government.

The imperial court has no way to suppress it, and local officials often compromise for their own interests.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards the civil uprising was to ignore it.

His ambiguous attitude makes people wonder if the emperor wants to do something else?
"The reform of business tax is essentially to solve the livelihood problem of the extra landless population in Zhejiang!
This is related to another system established by the father!
If the emperor can't see the benefits brought to the world by the business tax reform, I'm afraid he will suspend the reform!

The expectations of those wealthy households are also the same..."

Zhu Biao stood up and paced back and forth in the study:

"Although the commercial tax reform has increased the tax on some commodities, it has also given a lot of loosening policies. According to the logic, those people should also benefit...

Another point is that according to Father Huang and Master Liu's thinking, this time it is obviously to give benefits to the people at the bottom!

But they still follow the rich to resist, it is really..."

Liu Ji heard the words and said:

"Your Highness has never experienced the lives of ordinary people, so naturally he doesn't understand!
Most of the people, except for the troubled times of the past decade or so, have never left their homes for ten miles in their entire lives!
Even the master in the county seat, for many people, has never been seen before.

What they rely on is the clan, the country gentry!
The grassroots has its own set of rules that the imperial court has never touched, and the common people will not understand the imperial court's painstaking efforts!
But since His Majesty chooses to ignore it, presumably he already has a way to deal with it!

And I believe that with the passage of time, the common people will understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts! "

Zhu Biao said I hope so, and the topic ended.

Everyone knows that business tax reform is not something that happens overnight.

It will take at least two or three years to see a preliminary result.

"By the way, sir, do you know?
Today, Zhang Yi has returned to the concept of pure heart! "

Zhu Biao suddenly said something, and Liu Ji was taken aback.

His Royal Highness hinted to Zhang Yi what to do when he went back?
He took a deep look at Zhu Biao, don't look at Zhu Biao in the palace, taking care of everything every day.

He is still very concerned about Zhang Yi's whereabouts.

Zhang Yi lived in Xu's mansion, and Liu Ji hadn't taken the initiative to meet him yet.

Now that he has returned to the Taoist temple, he will naturally go to see each other.

In other words, His Royal Highness hinted to himself that perhaps Zhang Yi could answer the doubts in his heart.

"Sir, retire!"

Liu Ji bid farewell to Zhu Biao, left the palace, and went to Qingxin Temple.

When he came to the entrance of the Taoist temple again, Liu Ji looked around.

He didn't feel it before, but after experiencing this turmoil, he could indeed vaguely see the traces of Jin Yiwei's protection of the Taoist temple.

Regarding the emperor's protection of Zhang Yi, Liu Ji has a new understanding.

He got out of the carriage, and before he even entered the door, he heard the lively movement inside.

Entering the Taoist temple, Liu Ji first saw a group of common people, and he could see the joy on their faces.

When the leader saw him coming in, he hurried over to meet him.

"Master, I don't know who you are looking for?"

"I'm looking for Zhang Yi, who are you?"

"We are the tenants of the little landlord, and the youngest one is called Lao Li, who is favored by the little landlord and is the one who helps him take care of the fields.

Knowing that the little landlord is coming today, I came here to help him clean up..."

Lao Li made Liu Ji think of Lao Meng, who is also an ordinary citizen who is honest and shrewd.

It's Zhang Yi's tenant!

Liu Bowen has no doubts about him.

"Master Liu, you are here to find the little landlord, he and the young master and young lady of the Xu family are inside...

I lead you there! "

"No, it's not the first time this old man has come here, just go by yourself, get busy!"

Liu Ji politely rejected Lao Li's decision to help him lead the way, and went to the backyard by himself.

Before he arrived, he vaguely heard Zhang Yi telling a story.

The content of the story is probably the process of the trial...

Among the people who listened to the story, there were also some people Liu Ji was familiar with.

Among them, the loudest cry was the little Xu Yungong.

"These people are really bad..."

Liu Ji found it interesting, so he didn't go in directly, but listened to Zhang Yi's story.

I have to say that Zhang Yi's storytelling skills are pretty good, and he was a little fascinated by it.

Soon, Xu Yungong said something casually.

Take the topic into an interesting territory.
