Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 124
Mou Bin was taken aback immediately, but it wasn't because Zhu Houzhao called Ye Li the number one villain in Lianghuai. To Mou Bin, the Ye family was not enough, let alone Ye Li. You don't have to speak up yourself.What's more, the person in front of me is still the prince, why does the prince want to meet such an unpopular person?
"Your Highness, I'm afraid this is inappropriate?" Mou Bin tried to persuade him, "That Ye Li is just a small person, so it's not worthy of His Highness to meet him."

Zhu Houzhao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, and said slowly: "What do Aiqing Mou think?"

Mou Bin gave a shock in an instant, and then fell to his knees directly on the ground, wishing to slap himself twice in his heart, did he take the wrong medicine?Hastily said: "I dare not!"

"What's the matter?" Zhu Houzhao hurried over, stretched out his hand to help Mou Bin up, and then comforted him with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, Mou Aiqing, I really want to ask Mou Aiqing what to do, there is no other meaning. When I left the capital, my father told me to let me learn more like the two deputy envoys, and since Mr. Mou thinks something is wrong, let me talk about it!"

At this time, Mou Bin dared not speak too much. He knew that he had crossed the line, so he quickly bowed and said: "Your Highness is a daughter of gold, and that Ye Li is just a low-ranking person. Just leave it to the subordinates to deal with it. Why should His Royal Highness go there personally?" Woolen cloth!"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Mou Bin playfully, and then said, "Let's make arrangements!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Mou Bin agreed, then turned and walked outside with a relieved expression on his face.

Looking at the back of Mu Bin leaving, Zhu Houzhao shook his head helplessly.I tried to keep a low profile, but I still attracted attention. Now even Jin Yiwei's commander, Mu Bin, was testing him, which really made people wonder what to say.It is obviously very important for important ministers to find out the temperament and behavior style of the monarch.

Obviously, this was a small test by Mou Bin to himself. Regardless of his fear and sincerity, he would be shocked when he went back, but his goal was achieved.

However, Zhu Houzhao also expressed his attitude and let Mou Bin know his thoughts. This is what Zhu Houzhao must do. He is moody, and when the time comes, he will use a courtier who can guess his mind. This is a kind of emperor.

The other kind of emperor never hides his thoughts and ambitions, and is full of power. It is useless if you know my thoughts and ambitions. No one can stop him. If I want to do it, I must do it!

Representing the emperor is similar to Taizu Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, or Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. I just want to do this, and you must follow me to do it, or you will be forced to press your head without drinking water.For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's counting order and suing order are the embodiment of this kind of emperor's thought. If you are asked to donate money, don't you want to donate?That is forcing you to donate, not only money, but also people.

Zhu Houzhao will not be an emperor like Jiajing, and he doesn't need it. He has the right position, so don't worry about it, and don't have to play tricks. It is a very sad thing for an emperor to play tricks, so he has to show his attitude, although it is not yet time. , but in the face of temptation, he still has to fight back and show his own ideas. Zhu Houzhao, the prince, does not need to hide his strength and bide his time.

Early the next morning, Zhu Houzhao got angry very early, changed his clothes under Liu Jin's service, and then rode in a carriage to the T-shaped salt field in Huaibei.

When the prince travels, it is natural for people to watch the excitement, but because the road has been cleared long ago, the motorcade is not slow. After Zhu Houzhao came to the Huaibei Salt Field, all the people and officials here were waiting.But Zhu Houzhao will not go to see them, they are not qualified to meet the prince.Zhu Houzhao got off the carriage, smelling the fishy and salty air, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Houzhao turned to Liu Jin and said, "Find someone to lead the way. Where does the kitchen household live? Take me to have a look!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Liu Jin agreed, then turned around and ordered to find someone, and brought back a fat man not long after.

This is a middle-aged man in his 40s. He is really white and fat. He is wearing the official uniform of the saltworks ambassador. Zhu Houzhao knew who he was at a glance. This must be Ye Li, the ambassador of the saltworks.Glancing at Liu Jin who was respectfully standing aside, Zhu Houzhao shook his head. At this moment, Liu Jin was still a little tender, and this flattering method was too straightforward.

Could it be that he suppressed him too hard?But that's fine too, the way the eunuch does things is also in line with his expectations.

Naturally, Zhu Houzhao wouldn't say anything to Ye Li, he just asked him to lead the way, and when he heard that he was going to the stove owner's residence, Ye Li spread out on the ground.

Glancing at Ye Li who was lying on the ground, Zhu Houzhao said directly: "Bring him up, and someone else will lead the way. I'm even more curious now!"

Mou Bin was also following behind Zhu Houzhao at this time, and winked at Jin Yiwei behind him, and two people immediately went up to support Ye Li, and walked forward with Ye Li's body being hit. Here and where.

The group soon came to a residential area, which was located on the edge of the salt field. Looking around, they were all dilapidated thatched cottages.

Zhu Houzhao saw a few children, all covered in tattered clothes, skinny, with rough and cracked skin. After seeing Zhu Houzhao and his party, he turned around and ran away.Some children have a pair of straw sandals on their feet, while others are simply bare feet.It was late autumn, and winter was coming soon. Although Lianghuai wasn't that cold, they didn't dress like this.

Obviously, this is poverty, which is forced by life, Zaohu, Zhu Houzhao sighed, this is the system created by Emperor Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

Father and son successively, generation after generation, generation after generation, under such a system, households of craftsmen, kitchen households, and military households gradually became slaves of scholars, officials, and generals, and escaped households everywhere. When they developed, they became refugees. Everywhere.The life of these people is not even as good as that of the servants of the rich family. The servants are private property, and the master's family feels more or less distressed.

These people are the property of the state, but they are used by private property on the spot. Of course, they don't feel bad about things that are not their own, and it is even more convenient to take advantage of them.

The village of Zaohu is not big. After Zhu Houzhao and his group walked in, there was only panic. The adults dragged the children to kneel down, and the whole village was thrown into chaos.Seeing this scene, Zhu Houzhao stopped in his tracks, stretched out his hand and said, "Everyone get out, send someone in to look for it, and gather all the kitchen households in the village outside, let's not go in!"

"Your Highness is merciful!" The person who came with him hurriedly said.

　Today Tuesday, have you recovered from the hard work on Monday?It doesn't matter, I still have to go to work today, everyone, don't forget to vote before going to work!
