Chapter 507: Something I Haven't Seen Again
"I see."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked like he suddenly realized, but it was still night
Even if it's a holiday, the problem is that these people are too rich, right?
When he was in Yingtianfu, Zhu Yuanzhang had not been outside. In addition, he himself was born from a poor people.
As for what kind of life the poor people can live, they are actually very clear in their hearts.
But everything that happened here in Yanjing City completely subverted Lao Zhu's three views.
What Zhu Han's territory looks like, of course Zhu Yuanzhang knows.
Now, his biggest goal is to let all the people of the Ming Dynasty live like the people in Zhu Han's fiefdom.
If everything he saw today was in Zhu Han's territory, it would be nothing.
After all, everything over there started from scratch, and Zhu Han made it up little by little.
However, this is Yanjing.
The strength is intricate, and all kinds of interests are entangled.
If Lao Zhu did it himself, he would have only one way.
Kill!
All those who are disobedient, all those with ulterior motives, are all killed.
Until they were scared of the killing, they honestly took the position.
But Zhu Yuanzhang also knew one thing, once he did it.
Of course, those people did not dare to do anything excessive.
But at the same time, those officials will be like frightened birds, and they will not take the initiative to do anything.
Even if it was an order from him, His Majesty the Emperor, these people would only whip a whip.
It is simply impossible to build Yanjing City so vigorously.
In fact, what surprised Zhu Yuanzhang the most was the state of these people.
The people on the other side of Yingtian City, because they are at the feet of the Jingshi.
Life is indeed good.
But ordinary people will definitely not spend money casually like the people here in Yanjing.
Although it seems that the people in the capital are indeed richer.
In some places like teahouse theater troupes, there are also a lot of people who spend money.
But the problem is that most of those who are willing to spend money are not the lowest people.
The capital.
The most important thing is those dignitaries.
These people, although they will not go to those small teahouses on the street to consume.
But don't forget, they also have relatives, and some of them are far away, although they are also poorer, but they can more or less rely on some of their connections.
Another group of people who cannot be ignored is all kinds of subordinates in their house.
There are even many eunuchs in the palace.
In short, these people can't be regarded as ordinary people who do things purely.
Those real people are not willing to spend their money on such a place.
Every year, I work hard to earn some money, and basically as long as I can save money, I save it all carefully.
And more, the money earned is barely enough to survive.
If you want to save money, it's simply wishful thinking.
Other emperors may not understand how the real people at the bottom live.
However, Lao Zhu really understands.
After all, he had really lived through these hard times.
The more this was the case, the more shocked Lao Zhu became.
"I really don't know how Seven-Five did it." Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh.
Queen Ma said with a smile while eating the soup cakes: "No matter how you do it, for our Daming, it's still the same, isn't it?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry, and gave Queen Ma a roll of his eyes: "Is this what we mean?" We want Ying Tianfu, as well as the people of the Ming Dynasty all over the world, to live like this. ”
"It's strange that you said this, how did this kid do it?"
"Although when we came to Yanjing in the seventh five, we had already handed over all the income from Dongying's side to him."
"But before that, Dongying's silver still belonged to the imperial court."
"We've done a lot of things with that money, right? But with so much silver used, the lives of our Ming people don't seem to have changed much. ”
"Look at this Yanjing City again, now we don't dare to recognize it."
"Even if the imperial court distributes silver every day, those people will not dare to spend money so unscrupulously."
Queen Ma shook her head helplessly: "I don't understand this, you better go and ask Qiwu yourself." But I also think it would be nice if all the people in the world could live like this. ”
"Look at those people, how happy they are laughing."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked in the direction that Queen Ma said, a dark-skinned man was putting a child carved in pink and jade, which looked like a porcelain doll, on his neck.
In the other hand, he also holds a rattle.
Between the shakes, the rattle made a thumping sound, clapping the little doll who looked like he was only two or three years old.
And beside that man, there was also a woman who was not very beautiful, who was complaining to him: "Don't mess around, put it down quickly, what if you fall?" ”
The words sounded like complaints, but the tone was full of doting looks.
And such people abound on this road.
Looking at the happy and satisfied smiles of these people, Zhu Yuanzhang only felt extremely relieved.
The biggest reason why he joined the rebel army back then was not because he couldn't live anymore?
If there had been such a day before, he would not have been able to rebel at all.
And after so many years, Zhu Yuanzhang has long understood one thing.
At the beginning, it was definitely the kid Qiwu who held back his bad pit and made himself have to join the rebel army.
Otherwise, he stayed well in Huangjue Temple, how could something suddenly happen?
Moreover, the people of Yanjing are not only rich, but also have very good security here.
It's not that there are no bad people here in Yanjing.
After Lao Zhu had dinner with Queen Ma, he had just walked out not far when he heard someone screaming, "Catch the thief!" ”
Lao Zhu looked sideways and found an old woman who was shouting in one direction with an anxious face.
In front of him, a man holding a package with a hideous face roared: "Get out of the way, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind." ”
In the face of this kind of blue sky and daylight, most of them dare to rob other people's finances, and most people naturally choose to compare at the first time.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't stand this kind of thing, so he let go of the reins holding the donkey and prepared to take down this gangster.
Don't look at Lao Zhu is not young now, but his body is actually quite good.
Even if the one who robbed on the street looked relatively strong, Zhu Yuanzhang was not afraid at all.
But just when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to make a move, two people suddenly rushed out of the crowd.
These two men were very good at their skills, and in the blink of an eye, they pressed the bandit who was robbing the street to the ground.
"Boy, you are very kind, dare to make trouble in my land. I've been staring at you for a long time, this time look where you're going! ”
No matter how much the robbery criminal struggled, he could not break free from the man's iron pincers.
After that, the old woman who had been robbed of the package finally caught up.
is different from the fast catching that Zhu Yuanzhang saw in the past, the fast catching in Yanjing City does not have that feeling superior at all.
On the contrary, he was very polite, handed the package back to the old woman, and said kindly: "Old man, I am familiar with the shop next to me, you go over there to check if there is anything missing." ”
This way of dealing with it made Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes shine.
"This kid is a talent!"
You must know that the reason why this old woman was targeted by thieves was that Ken was known by the robber because of something valuable on her body at that time.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for that robber to take such a big risk and directly grab something.
This old woman has only one person, if she is allowed to check her belongings in front of so many people.
Maybe, it will make someone who cares about it.
And this catcher can think of this layer, let her go to a place with few people, and check whether her things are missing.
Not to mention anything else, this thought alone made Zhu Yuanzhang appreciate it very much.
Such a person undoubtedly put his mind on the people.
Moreover, when the old woman was asked to inspect the belongings, the two arresters did not leave, but waited here.
Soon, the old woman came out after checking it out, and thanked the two of them thankfully: "Thank you, master, it's all the same." ”
Seeing it, the old woman was so excited that she almost cried.
Zhu Yuanzhang can also understand this old woman's reaction very well.
She was dressed, though not like many people on the street, with patches on her clothes.
But obviously, it's not a wealthy family either.
can make an old woman carry important finances, it is likely that something is wrong with the man in her family.
If it's not a serious illness, then it's probably a serious injury or something.
The old woman may be using the finances she carries to save people and cure diseases.
These two catchers not only caught the thief, but perhaps also saved a family.
It's just that there is one point that Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't quite understand.
Although these two people claimed to be fast catchers, they were not wearing fast catcher clothes.
"This old brother, are the two of them really the fast catchers of the Yamen? Why does it feel so different from the catchers I've seen before? ”
When the person next to him heard this, he immediately replied to Lao Zhu in a dialect unique to Yanjing: "Brother, are you from out of town?" ”
As he spoke, this person also looked Zhu Yuanzhang up and down curiously several times.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a smile and admitted happily: "We have indeed just arrived in Yanjing. ”
"That's right, don't talk about you from out of town. We, the natives of Yanjing, have never seen these things before. ”
"Although these people are not wearing fast catcher clothes, they are indeed fast catchers."
"His Royal Highness said that these people are called plainclothes catchers."
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.
Zhu Han, this kid, this is a completely different appearance of Yanjing.
From the beginning of coming to Yanjing to the present, none of the people I have seen who belong to the Yamen are known to Lao Zhu.
"What's the difference between this plainclothes catch fast and the ordinary fast catcher?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.
"You don't know yet, do you?" The man with a Yanjing accent suddenly lowered his voice mysteriously.
This change made Lao Zhu a little nervous, and subconsciously lowered his voice and asked, "What do you know?" ”
"Our Yanjing City is about to become the capital of our Ming Dynasty."
……
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt that his hands were a little itchy, and he had the urge to give the guy in front of him a big fight.
Seeing that this guy is mysterious, Lao Zhu thought he was going to say something taboo.
And that's the result?
Yanjing City has been selected as the future capital of the Ming Dynasty.
This matter, except for those places where the traffic is particularly blocked, there may be people who do not know.
Now in the whole world, there shouldn't be a few people who don't know, right?
If you don't even know about this kind of thing, is such a person still a common man of the Daimyo?
In the end, Lao Zhu still suppressed his impulse.
He can see that there is one person in Yanjing, and all of them are special guys.
Whether it is the two coachmen I met before entering the city, or the boss who bought soup cakes after entering the city, and the guy in front of me.
Lao Zhu completely understood that if he really wanted to inquire about something, he definitely couldn't ask these Yanjing locals.
It's not that they're bad, it's that these guys are just too good.
"We've heard of this." Lao Zhu had a smile on his face that was a little rejecting thousands of miles away, and vaguely showed that he wanted to end the conversation.
It's a pity that the Yanjing people in front of him don't seem to understand what he means at all.
Instead, he became more and more enthusiastic: "Since you know, it's easier to say." ”
"Since His Royal Highness came to our Yanjing and presided over the construction of the national capital, there are more and more people who come to work in our Yanjing day by day."
"The same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, there are many people, and there are more and more people who don't want to take the right path."
"This also caused our Yanjing to become very chaotic for a period of time."
"Speaking of this, we people are also quite entangled. In the past, when there were few people, although our life was leisurely, there was no opportunity to make money. ”
"Now there are a lot of opportunities to make a lot of money, but there are also a lot of messy things."
"Actually, when His Royal Highness first came to Yanjing, he also dealt with many people."
"In order to punish those profiteers who owe us ordinary people's wages, His Royal Highness even did not hesitate to directly engage with those big officials of the Six Ministries......"
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the more this guy talked, the more outrageous it became, so he quickly pretended to cough a few times and interrupted the guy's later words.
Good guy, if you continue to let this guy continue, Zhu Yuanzhang feels that he can say it for a few hours without repeating it.
If he talks about something else, Zhu Yuanzhang may be able to listen patiently.
But what he said, Lao Zhu knew much more clearly than him.
And I also know that these things are not as simple as they seem on the surface, and in fact they involve more conflicts of interest above the court.
But these things, Lao Zhu naturally wouldn't tell a flat-headed ordinary person.
What he cares about now is what this so-called plainclothes catcher is.
"Brother, let's ordinary people be cautious about the affairs of the court, let's talk about this plainclothes arrest."
