"Mr. Zhang, you, you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Forget it, I've said everything I want to say, so you can step down. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

As a conversation ended, an old man and two middle-aged people in their thirties came out of the Qianqing Palace.

The youngest of them smiled at the old man and said, "Uncle Zhang, what you said is really ......."

The oldest person called Uncle Zhang also smiled: "Why, what I said is not right, it is not a big deal for children to visit the Qinglou." ”

He just waits for Zhang Wen. Yun Xi called him, Lu Xian, and Huang Xuan into the palace, originally wanting to knock and knock them. If Zhang Wen was not there, Yun Xi's beating would have been successful; But with Zhang Wen here, Zhang Wen is a person that Yunxi relies on very much, and his plan is a failure.

It was Lu Xian who asked the question earlier. He listened to Zhang Wen's words and smiled bitterly in his heart. Regardless of whether he thinks the same as Zhang Wen or not, he is a marginalized marquis, even if he is still a lieutenant of the horse, he will never dare to speak like Zhang Wen.

Zhang Wen glanced at him lightly at this time, and said: "You are also the Hou Ye handed down from your ancestors, I think you are also capable, you don't have to be so careful, Your Majesty will not waste talents." What's more, you're still a colt. Zhang Wen still had some friendship with Lu Xian's father in the past, so he said it.

Lu Xian said: "I borrowed the auspicious words of the Hou Ye." ”

"Look at Huang Xuan over there, he used to be a commander with no real power in Bashu, and now he doesn't want to be a king."

"Ahh Huang Xuan's face was confused: "Uncle Zhang, what did you say about me just now?" He had been thinking about something just now, and he didn't hear Zhang Wen's words clearly.

"I didn't say anything, I just praised you." Zhang Wen said with a smile. He and Hwang Hyun are not strangers either.

Huang Xuan didn't say anything, but secretly muttered in his heart: "Zhang Wen, you still praise me?" Fool me. ”

……

……

Yun Xi sat on the floor scratching his head. "The biggest mistake today was to meet all three of them at the same time. Otherwise, even if you can't beat Zhang Wen, the other two people are enough. ”

But it always felt like something was wrong. Yun Xi thought.

"I, are you relying too much on Cao Zhen, Zhang Wen, Geng Bingwen, Guo Ying, and a few of them?" He muttered to himself.

"It is true that a few of them are the most capable of the generals who survived in the early years of Hongwu, but even if the other generals are not as good as them, they are not much worse, unless it is a battle for the country, otherwise there is no need to use the most powerful generals."

"Now I use my own generals, basically just the Li family of Cao Guogong, the Xu family of Wei Guogong, the Lan family of Liang Guogong, and the above four Hou Ye families, and the other military generals I have cultivated are still young and immature, and they will not be of much use for the time being. But there were actually a lot of Hou Bo who were divided by the emperor's grandfather back then, and now there is no historical blue jade case, and there are many survivors. ”

"There are more than 400 guards in the Ming Dynasty, and nearly 3 million troops, so it's better to have more forces."

"But it didn't happen overnight."

Thinking of this, Yun Xi stretched his waist, put aside the matter for the time being, and went to eat.

……

……

In the next few days, Li Guan did not pay for the customs tax for the time being, but he personally watched the inspection of both sides of the Qinhuai River every day, although no brothel dared to commit crimes against the wind to buy people for a while, but they caught several traffickers who were moving around here with little girls.

Because Li Guan had Yunxi's order and the support of public opinion, he publicly executed these traffickers. The common people were still comfortable with traffickers selling children to large families as slaves, but they were also very angry when they heard that they wanted to sell girls to brothels, and when they were publicly executed, several traffickers were almost beaten to death by angry people before they were executed, if it weren't for Li Guan asking the police to protect them.

The reason why Li Guan did not let these traffickers be beaten to death by the common people was because Yun Xi had instructed: "When dealing with criminals, whether they are sentenced to beheading, hanging, or other death sentences, the people must not be allowed to do it, and they must be dealt with by the government." ”

Although Li Guan didn't quite understand why, he would definitely not disobey Yun Xi's order, so he carried it out like this.

The reason why Yun Xi demanded that the government must dispose of it was to uphold the law. Letting the people kill these traffickers is of course very popular with the people, but it is tantamount to the state ceding part of the judicial power to the people and recognizing the legality of private activities. And this is what Yunxi is very reluctant to do.

Yun Xi didn't want to mention anything like the supremacy of the law, because that was, and if the law was supreme, then who was the person who made the law? Everyone who makes laws has an 'ass', and when they make laws, they will definitely tend to their own 'ass', so the law will always safeguard the interests of the ruling class.

And Yun Xi is now the ruling class, or the leader of the ruling class, and defending the law is to protect his interests, so he will try his best to defend the law.

In addition, Li Guan also personally led the team to promote the change of customs in the brothel. Now his reputation among Shilin is very bad, many people don't talk to him to his face, and he has completely broken the jar. Although he knew that Yun Xi might not look down on him, but he worked so hard for Yun Xi, if Yun Xi didn't promote him, it would make many people feel cold. Even if Yun Xi stabilizes people's hearts, he must be given a big official in the future.

The brothels were also confused about changing customs, thinking that the government was deliberately rectifying them, and the bustards were angry.

But the situation is stronger than people, where do they dare to have a hard top with the government now, they can only do what the government tells them to do, so today they learn what garbage is to be processed in a centralized manner and wait for people who specialize in cleaning up garbage to transport it; Tomorrow to learn kitchen hygiene, all cooks must be covered to cook, cutting boards should be cleaned in time, knives should be cleaned in time, iron pots should be cleaned in time, and so on.

And what kind of cleaning, fleas, rats, etc., makes the brothel very busy every day during the day. Fortunately, in the evenings they are not very busy now, and they have time to rest, although they do not want to be idle at night.

Although the police did not come to the brothel at night after that night, they knew that the police went to the brothel every day to do something, and that they could still see patrols on the way to the brothel at night, and most people were not in the mood to go to the brothel, which greatly reduced the business of the brothel.

The bustards secretly hated at first, secretly scolding the patrol police, Li Guan, and Huang Huai, but later they were also numb and honestly listened to the words of the government. Anyway, the reason for the sharp decline in business has been told to the owner behind the scenes, and he can't rely on himself.

After a few days, Li Guan finally got on the fold and asked for a customs tax.
