Chapter 526: Yamen Suggestion Box

"You know that very well." Seeing the appearance of the housekeeper, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more unhappy.

These guys are one by one, and their eyes are shining when they mention this Lan Yunzhai.

It made Lao Zhu even more sure of one thing, there is definitely something wrong with this Lan Yunzhai.

The butler was inexplicable and felt a burst of coldness.

subconsciously looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and his face sank again.

It's just that the housekeeper doesn't understand, wasn't it okay just now, how did it suddenly become like this?

Although I don't understand why it became like this, I can roughly guess that it may have something to do with Lan Yunzhai.

The housekeeper hurriedly explained with a smile: "Mr. Chang, this Lan Yunzhai, is one of the workshops that His Royal Highness focuses on supporting, and when the workshop opened, His Royal Highness the King personally went over."

It's okay if the housekeeper doesn't say it, but as soon as he says this, Lao Zhu's face is even more ugly.

What kind of virtue does his younger brother have, can Lao Zhu still be unclear?

As soon as the housekeeper said this, Lao Zhu was even more sure that this was definitely not a good place.

"If you know, take us over and have a look."

This Mr. Chang looked so unhappy that the housekeeper didn't dare to say much, and honestly instructed the coachman: "Go to Liuhe Road in Nancheng!"

Although Lao Zhu is used to the prosperity of Yanjing.

But after arriving at Liuhe Road, I was still shocked by the little one here.

As soon as he got off the carriage, Zhu Yuanzhang saw the endless shops on both sides.

It's different from what I've seen before.

Most of the people here are very well dressed, and it's rare to see people wearing patched clothes.

In this place, there is a very huge difference from the Yanjing City that Lao Zhu saw before.

That is, there are so many carriages here, almost one after another, that the roads are jammed.

At the beginning, Lao Zhu didn't take it too seriously.

But after waiting for the tea time, Zhu Yuanzhang gradually became impatient.

When I was waiting for the bus in front of Yanjing Gate before, after a while, these cars would move forward for a distance.

But here, the car barely moved a single step forward during this tea time.

Seeing that the other side of the carriage was very empty, and only occasionally the carriage came head-on, Zhu Yuanzhang said impatiently: "Why wait here, let's go directly to the other side?"

The housekeeper smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Mr. Chang, if we could go, we would have left a long time ago."

"On the opposite side is the reverse lane, only cars can get out, and if you go in, you are not allowed to go."

"!" Lao Zhu glared at the housekeeper: "Isn't this road just for people to walk?"

"Could it be that there is something wrong with that half of the road?"

The housekeeper practiced and waved his hand: "Mr. Chang, don't do it."

"In fact, when this road was first cultivated, there were really no rules, and everyone could walk as they wanted."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "Then why don't you let you go now?"

The housekeeper smiled bitterly and pointed to the car in front of him and explained, "Mr. Chang, you misunderstood, it's not that you don't let you go, but you have to go according to the rules."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt more and more inexplicable: "Leave half of the road and don't let people go, what kind of rule is this?"

As he spoke, Lao Zhu seemed to suddenly come to his senses, and suddenly said, "These roads, shouldn't they be specially prepared for some people?"

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu is certainly no stranger to privileges.

Because he is the greatest beneficiary of privilege.

Lao Zhu Zhi is not disgusted with these things, after all, he is limited by the times.

In this day and age, these things are inevitable.

Even in order to maintain his rule, Lao Zhu often even inevitably has to take the initiative to promote some privileges.

But at the same time, Lao Zhu You hated this thing very much.

After all, as an ordinary person in the past, he was once truly oppressed by these things.

Lao Zhu was not polite to those officials, but for ordinary people, he was quite careful.

If it's a path with special features, there's nothing wrong with having a little perk.

However, this is just a path taken by ordinary people, and they are even engaged in this set?

The housekeeper was speechless, he always felt that this Mr. Chang felt very strange.

But when I think of the hints given by my master, don't ask too much if you shouldn't ask, and don't think too much about what you shouldn't think.

The housekeeper didn't think about why this Mr. Chang was so strange, and quickly told Zhu Yuanzhang the reason: "Mr. Chang, you misunderstood."

"Although this regulation was personally set by His Royal Highness the British King, the most fundamental purpose is to facilitate the travel of ordinary people."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this, but there are too many new things he has seen in Yanjing in the past few days.

Therefore, Lao Zhu is no longer as good as before, and he will be shocked no matter what he sees.

"Putting half of the road for people to walk, which door is convenient?"

Although he knew that his younger brother's move must have a deep meaning, Lao Zhu was still a little unconvinced.

felt that Zhu Han must have done something wrong this time.

The housekeeper suddenly felt that the pressure on his body had suddenly been reduced a lot.

It was as if two more mountains had been lifted from their shoulders.

Knowing that this must be because of this Mr. Chang, the anger on his body has dissipated a lot.

Although Liu Ji once hinted to him, don't think casually.

But in the housekeeper's heart, he couldn't help but analyze: "With such a strong momentum, every gesture can make people feel terrified."

"What is the origin of this Mr. Chang?"

Although the thoughts in my heart are disturbed, they are actually just a matter of a moment.

Soon, the housekeeper returned to China and said with a smile: "This is what the gentleman doesn't know."

"On these six rivers road, there were originally a few porcelain workshops, but they were originally just a few small workshops."

"Later, His Royal Highness came to Yanjing, and after the bidding meeting, he came up with the patent law."

"You don't know, just because of this patent law, we have more rich people here in Yanjing overnight."

Anyway, the car can't go now, so Zhu Yuanzhang listened patiently to the housekeeper.

Although the housekeeper said that the world is from all over the world, it has been torn out for 108,000 miles.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't mean to stop the housekeeper.

just secretly sneered in his heart: "In this world, except for the seventh five, we know this patent law best."

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think that there was a big deal about patent law.

But gradually, as more and more people registered patents, Zhu Yuanzhang gradually discovered the benefits.

The patent law itself may not bring much benefit to Daming.

But the people who registered the patents, there are too many things that they have come up with that are beneficial to the country and the people.

Although limited by the thinking of the older generation, they still tend to use those family handicrafts as the capital of their children and grandchildren, and pass them on from generation to generation.

But after all, there are still some people who will be tempted by immediate interests.

These related industries, the tax revenue brought to Daming every year alone is already a very huge number.

Not to mention, many patents can also bring changes to Daming in all aspects.

Because of this, Zhu Yuanzhang took time out to study this patent law.

He is not one of those old pedants who is stupid in reading, and he will never reject this kind of seductive thing.

The housekeeper said patent law in front of him, which was no different from playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong.

"Mr. Chang, don't you know that since the patent law was established, because of this patent, many various workshops have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain."

"In the past, those people didn't dare to take out the exclusive secret recipe easily and open any workshop."

"After all, many secret recipes are actually like that, and others can learn them at a glance. When the time comes, the secret recipe of his own family will be learned for no reason. ”

"But now that there is a patent law, as long as you register a patent, even if others have a secret recipe, they can't use it casually."

"Once you find out that someone else has used the secret recipe of your own registered patent, you can directly sue the official."

"Anyone who casually steals other people's patents will be fined and confiscated property, and it is even possible to confiscate the army."

"So on this side of Liuhe Road, in less than a month, twelve ceramic workshops were opened one after another."

"These workshops all have their own secret recipes."

"Now, almost all of our ceramic workshops in Yanjing are near Liuhe Road."

"This has also led to the fact that many merchants who came to buy goods have all gathered near Liuhe Road."

"Originally, the road on this side was quite spacious, but there were too many cars coming and going."

"In the beginning, I often accidentally blocked it."

"Although there is also a traffic catcher brigade to dredge."

"But our side is not the gate of the city, and many times the traffic is jammed inside and can't get out."

"It's often a traffic jam that's a whole day."

"In the end, there was no way, and the shopkeepers of several workshops here wrote a letter directly to the yamen."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally patient and was listening to the butler's mouth foaming at the mouth and telling those things, couldn't help but interrupt: "Wait, what did you just say?"

"A few businessmen, write a letter to the yamen?"

Other Lao Zhu can turn a blind eye, but a group of businessmen casually contact the officials of the imperial court.

This made Lao Zhu have to be vigilant.

An incomparably familiar cold feeling that made the butler's scalp tingle appeared again: "The butler really doesn't understand, he said that he was wrong, and he made this master unhappy again."

"This is also the rule of His Royal Highness, as long as I am a citizen of Yanjing, I have any needs, or I want to sue anyone, I can go to the mailbox near the Yanjing Yamen Building, write a letter of opinion with my real name or anonymously, or a report letter."

"The yamen will collect these letters regularly for processing."

If it were another emperor, he might still be dissatisfied, but Lao Zhu smiled when he heard it.

"Okay, that's a good idea. If it is anonymous, these people will not care about those corrupt officials. ”

Many people may not know that Lao Zhu Ke is an encouragement for the people to go to the capital to sue the emperor, and if local officials or some people dare to stop it, Lao Zhu will even directly ask those officials to be investigated.

An emperor who can encourage the people to sue the emperor will naturally raise his hands in favor of any method that can strengthen communication between the upper and lower levels.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was angry just now was because he thought that a letter from several workshop managers could influence the decision-making of officials.

This opinion letter is just an opinion after all, and it is up to the yamen to decide how to do it.

Sensing that Zhu Yuanzhang's mood had regained calm, the housekeeper said cautiously: "Originally, everyone thought that this matter was discussed by the Yamen, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness to know the news."

"Since then, Yanjing has had an extra rule that all vehicles and pedestrians need to pass on the right side as much as possible."

Zhu Yuanzhang picked at the corner of his eyes: "This is just a rule, not a Ming law, will everyone consciously abide by it?"

"And it can only be passed on the right side, isn't it also a little inconvenient?"

The housekeeper smiled and said, "Although it is not a big Ming law, if you are caught by the traffic brigade and do not follow the rules, you will also be fined."

"Basically, most people only need to be fined twice, and they will learn to behave."

"As for pedestrians, as long as they don't run to the main road, no one will pay attention to them."

"With this rule, people who go in and go out take different roads, and traffic jams rarely happen."

"Don't look at the congestion now, but as long as the car in front of us finishes loading, we can go in. It's not like before, as long as you block the day, don't think about moving the place. ”

Lao Zhu finally understood what Zhu Han meant, nodded and said, "Many times, it is often best to do things according to the rules."

Saying that, Lao Zhu couldn't help but sigh again: "It's a pity, many people in this world always think that they are high up and can do things without following the rules."

Although the current Daimyo is still clear, Lao Zhu knows very well that hidden under the prosperous era, there are still many snakes, insects, rats and ants after all.

Such a guy is like he can't kill it cleanly.

In the past, he even used such a ruthless method as peeling the skin and filling the grass, but he still couldn't stop this subtlety.

But now, Lao Zhu just learned a trick from his younger brother.

In the future, anyone who dares to take bribes and betray the country to seek glory will never be allowed to participate in the imperial examination within three generations.

For this era, three generations cannot take the imperial examination, which can basically make this family, or a certain vein of a family, directly decline.

"Wait!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly remembered something.

"When I was in the previous process, why didn't those roads divide left and right? They all seem to be on the same path. ”

Speaking of this incident, Lao Zhu couldn't help but think of the two coachmen who could talk about it when he was stuck in traffic at the city gate.

How do you feel that Yanjing is a place where there are traffic jams everywhere.

"Mr. Chang, you say this, that one is called a one-way street."

"It's just to make it easier to go out of the city and enter the city, and the two roads are separated, which is also more convenient to manage."

The sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the carriage, and the carriage slowly shook and began to move forward.
