Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 38
"Go away!"

The butler seemed a little impatient, and kicked the little girl aside.

The little girl had no choice but to get up by herself, returned to the old woman, and continued to kneel and beg passers-by to take her in.

"Your Majesty, why don't we buy her?" After all, Zhang Yan couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked Zhu Youxiao softly.

Zhu Youxiao nodded, walked up to the old woman, knelt down and asked, "Old man, where are you from, how old are you, why did you sell your granddaughter?"

The old woman didn't expect that the nobleman would talk to her in person, and she was so kind, she knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Returning to the young master, the old man is from Baoan Prefecture. This year is eighty-three, and there is a famine this year. There was no harvest in the fields, and the rich man’s loan was not repaid. The rich man confiscated the land. His son and daughter-in-law starved to death, and his granddaughter would starve to death if she didn’t sell it. Please show mercy. Buy her."

"Hey, what are you doing, whoever told you to come here, get out of the city!"

The soldiers of Wucheng Bingma Division came over suddenly, seeing Zhu Youxiao's rich attire, he didn't want to shout, but just scolded the old woman and the little girl.

The old woman finally waited for a rich man who was willing to take her granddaughter in. She would not let this opportunity go, and ignored the urging of the five city soldiers and horse soldiers, and hurriedly shouted at Zhu Youxiao:
"Young master, I beg you to take in my granddaughter, the old woman begs you."

As soon as the old woman spoke, she was kicked to the ground by a soldier, and then the soldier took a whip and began to whip: "I told you to sell it, I told you to sell it, and I dared to come to the city to sell it without paying the money. Believe it or not, I will sell it now." Kill you!"

"Why are you staring at me? If you stare at me again, I will arrest you too!"

When a soldier saw Zhu Youxiao staring at him, he couldn't help becoming angry with you, and threatened Zhu Youxiao directly, without thinking about whether Zhu Youxiao had any background.

"Give it to me, stop it!"

When Zhu Youxiao saw that the soldier was still beating the old woman, he yelled angrily. He originally wanted to expose his identity directly, but he thought that he would not be able to reveal his identity directly so that the group of annoying civil servants would know. Immediately changed to "I".

Seeing Zhu Youxiao's anger and seeing many people behind him, these soldiers also guessed that this guy might not be young, so they didn't scold Zhu Youxiao. One of the leaders just threatened: "Boy , I can warn you, we are the censors who patrol the city, so it's best not to meddle in other people's business!"

At this time, the sound of gongs beating to clear the way suddenly came from the front, and Ye Pinliang, the censor of the city patrol, came over suddenly: "Why is this? Didn't this official repeatedly order and repeat that no refugees and idlers should stay in the city!"

When the soldier saw Ye Yushi coming, his confidence increased a lot, and he hurriedly replied: "Reporting to Master Yushi, I was just about to drive these refugees out, but who knew that this guy actually hindered the small official business, and the small one saw you." He is well dressed, afraid of offending people who shouldn't be offended."

"What are you afraid of? Unless he is His Majesty, you have to listen to me when you come here. Since this guy obstructs his official duties, he will be taken back to the prison and fined 500 taels of silver. If he doesn't pay, don't even think about getting out!"

Ye Yushi is familiar with the princes and grandsons with backgrounds in the capital, but he has never met Zhu Youxiao, so in his opinion, this Zhu Youxiao may be just a son of an ordinary wealthy family, so he wants to marry Zhu Youxiao. Extort some money from the principal.

"Yes!"

Several soldiers wanted Raju to go away from the school.

Seeing this, Wang Chengen was about to act, but saw Zhu Youxiao winking at him, pointing to Wu Jin, the boss of Dongchang who was hiding in the dark: "Let him come."

Wang Chengen nodded, and took a look at Wu Jin. Wu Jin understood, walked out of a teahouse, and shouted: "What are you doing, you dare to tie up my son! You really have the guts of a leopard!"

When Ye Yushi saw that Wu Jin came, half of his body went numb in an instant, his feet became limp, and he couldn't move for life or death.

Zhu Youxiao and Wang Chengen, he is naturally not acquainted with a seven-rank censor who patrols the city, but he does know this Dongchang boss who often raids his home in the capital and arrests people. He also personally brought [-]% of the soldiers and horses to help.

"Tantou Wu, is this yours?"

Wu Bian snorted, and ignored Ye Yushi, but asked coldly to the two soldiers holding Zhu Youxiao's shoulders: "Why, do you let me go if I break your arms myself?" ?”

Naturally, these soldiers did not dare to provoke Wu Jin, so they let go of Zhu Youxiao in a hurry.

Wu Zang bowed his head to Zhu Youxiao: "I'm a step late, my son, so you will be wronged."

"The head of Dongchang Wu actually bent down to bow to this guy, and kept claiming that he is a son. Doesn't this guy have a simple background?"

Ye Yushi was deeply afraid that he would offend someone who shouldn't be offended, so he said with a sneer: "Wu Taitou, Ye has eyes that don't know Mount Tai, and almost flooded the Dragon King Temple. I'm really ashamed, but I don't know that this young master is yours. What, Ye Mou will come to the house some other day to make an apology."

"No need, Mr. Wu, let them all go. The old woman and the little girl are also brought into the carriage. It's windy here, and they don't wear much to avoid getting sick."

When Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, Wu Jin naturally didn't dare to disobey, but Wang Chengen came over and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, that is your dragon chariot, so it is not honorable."

"It might as well, since it's a humble service, there's no need to be too strict about these orders of honor and inferiority."

After Zhu Youxiao said, Wu Jin beckoned.

The two plainclothes men who followed behind him took the old woman and the little girl into the carriage behind.

At the same time, Wu Jin turned around and asked Ye Yushi: "Since my son said so, why are you still here, Ye Yushi? Do you want to receive our son's reward?"

Ye Yushi couldn't help being a little annoyed, but he didn't dare to explode, and he held back and left with his people.

As soon as Ye Yushi left, Zhang Yan was the first to burst out laughing: "It's true that one thing lowers one thing. Your Majesty is afraid of Yushi, Yushi is afraid of Dongchang, and Dongchang is afraid of Your Majesty, haha!"

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smiled: "I'm not afraid, I just find them annoying. If these censors know about it, the books on my desk will definitely pile up several more layers."

"What your majesty said is that Ye Yushi, seeing your majesty's gorgeous clothes and lack of fame, thought you were the son of an ordinary rich family, and wanted to extort some money. In fact, what the dignified censor did was just bullying the weak and fearing the hard. "

As Wang Chengen said, Zhu Youxiao nodded, turned around and asked Wu Baotou, "Why does Ye Yushi only know you?"

Wu Taitou couldn't help getting nervous secretly. He naturally knew that Zhu Youxiao didn't want the factory guards to collude with the officials, so he hurriedly explained: "When the officials copied the house of Wang Jimo, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, he asked him to help. This prince I know."

"I know, this censor surnamed Ye is so corrupt and perverted the law, he can't stay any longer, he should be dismissed directly and exiled for three thousand miles."

　Although Zhu Youxiao obtained a lot of money by confiscating Shanxi Merchants and Donglin Party, it did not change the financial system of Ming Dynasty. There would be many places to spend money, especially after 1627, the entire Ming Dynasty was almost a total outbreak of social conflicts. During the period, military affairs, disaster relief, etc. made Daming’s finances already beyond its means. Although there were [-] million taels of silver, it would not take a few years. Even though Jiaqing copied Heshen in the late Qing Dynasty, he did not do much after all. So if you want to rejuvenate Daming, you still have to solve the problem from the root.
