Chapter 622: Da Ming really doesn't know what color it is!

In fact, Tang He said that he was conservative, as the first old man in Fengyang to rebel against Lao Zhu, Tang He did not support Zhu Yuanzhang from the beginning to wantonly divide the feudal king, and even euphemistically admonished.

But at that time, Lao Zhu was too selfish, he only believed in his own family, and turned a deaf ear to outsiders.

If you talk too much, Lao Zhu will go straight to death and kill people.

Therefore, Tang He, who doesn't like to cause trouble, will not be able to persuade him with iron.

But now that Lao Zhu has asked, don't blame him for his personal vendetta.

Lao Zhu listened to Tang He's words and was silent for a long time, he believed that as long as he lived, those rebels would not dare to move.

But his family knows his own affairs, and his life was snatched from God, what if God reacts one day and arrests him again?

Therefore, Lao Zhu has always cherished the hard-won opportunity to live, but at the same time, he is also ready to die at any time, so as not to cause turmoil to the Ming Dynasty due to his sudden death.

This is also the reason why Lao Zhu has always been reluctant to show up, and even unwilling to take over the government.

He just wanted to hide aside and see, if this Da Ming was okay without him!

Lao Zhu pondered for a long time, and looked at Tang He with a somewhat inquiring gaze.

"Brother Tang, according to what you say, do you not support Yun Xi's kid's expedition to the Western Regions?"

Tang He said with a smile.

"Superior, you can't say that."

"Oh?"

"What the hell do you mean?"

Tang He scratched his head in embarrassment.

"What are you talking about!"

"We just stood on the royal side and the vassal king's position, but if we stand on the courtiers and the Ming dynasty, the minister still thinks that Yunxi is doing the right thing!"

"This ......"

Tang He looked at Lao Zhu's increasingly confused eyes and hurriedly explained.

"Superior, think about it, if according to the existing feudal system of our Ming Dynasty, the prince is divided into county kings, the county kings are divided into small kings, and the small kings are divided into generals, so that in less than a hundred years, we will not have thousands of kings in the Ming Dynasty?"

"The more rivers and mountains this kid Yunxi has brought down, won't there be more places to be crowned kings in the future?"

"10,000 people support a king, and 100,000 people support a king, so naturally the burden of the latter is lighter."

Lao Zhu's face was immediately displeased when he heard this, he could hear it, Tang He was complaining that he was crowned king.

"Brother Tang, I will not mention this in the future!"

"Didn't we just seal our own family as the king, why do you always stare at us one by one!"

When Tang He saw Lao Zhu say this, he immediately shut up with interest.

This kind of thing is not interesting, those who were not interested in the past, now the tree on the grave can build a house!

"What is Your Majesty's decision?"

"What do we decide......?"

Lao Zhu shook his head blankly when he heard this, he stayed in the workshop to watch the door during this time, and he always wanted to look at the changes in Daming from the perspective of ordinary people.

However, he stayed in the workshop for several months, and was stunned to understand anything.

I only know that the people of Daming are very busy, they are busy and have no time to cook, they are busy and have no time to take care of their children, and they are busy and have no time to hang out......

But it seems that they are enjoying the busyness again.

After all, meals can be eaten in the workshop canteen, and children can also be handed over to the maintenance center of the factory, and the government will collect money from a group of workshop owners and hire special people to watch the children for them.

As a result, they can spend more time working to earn money and then run their own small home.

Although the scene he saw was quite harmonious and prosperous, Lao Zhu always felt that something was wrong.

Because according to the records of all dynasties, Zhu Yunxi's reckless military behavior of expanding territory on the sea and competing for hegemony with other countries on land has long made the people miserable and complained.

However, the Ming Dynasty seems to have escaped historical conventions and walked out of an unbelievable path.

While Lao Zhu frowned and pondered, Tang He kept secretly watching Lao Zhu until he heard a grunting sound coming from Lao Zhu's stomach, and Tang He smiled suddenly.

It seems that the upper throne was so angry with the kings that he didn't even eat a full meal in the palace.

Thinking of this, Tang He couldn't help but hammer his old cold legs.

"Your Majesty, Weichen can't compare to you, our old cold legs are the most taboo to be damp, you better hurry up and push Weichen back!"

Lao Zhu woke up like a dream when he heard this, he didn't want to kill this old guy now, if even Tang He left, he really didn't know who to say some things to.

"Oops!"

"Look at our brains, we have forgotten this stubble!"

Lao Zhu immediately got up and pushed Tang He out of the Huxin Pavilion.

"Where?"

Tang He pointed ahead, and Lao Zhu immediately pushed him to the hall of Tang He's mansion.

Lao Zhu's nose is very good, and as soon as he enters the hall, he finds the smell of roast duck.

"Brother Tang, are you hiding something delicious?"

Tang He glared exaggeratedly.

"Nope!"

"What can we hide?"

Lao Zhu smiled when he heard this, and then subconsciously bent down to rummage in the room, and as expected, he found a plate of roast duck under the table in the middle of the hall.

"Okay!"

"We've caught you!"

"We remember your illness, we can't eat such greasy and fishy things!"

Lao Zhu counted the soup and tore off a duck leg and gnawed it down.

"Don't say it, your old boy is quite good, this is Quanjude's roasted duck!"

Tang He said with a smile.

"Your Majesty has good teeth, you can eat Quanjude's roast duck in one bite!"

"But Weichen wants to test Your Majesty, does Your Majesty know whose family this Quanjude is?"

Lao Zhu chuckled in his heart when he heard this, Tang Heke never joked with him, he dared to ask like this, it meant that this thing was inseparable from their old Zhu family.

"Could it be our old Zhu family?"

Tang He laughed when he heard this.

"It's not far away, hahaha!"

Lao Zhu said irritably.

"Old soup, whose family is it, hurry up and give us a word, or we won't be able to eat steadily!"

Tang He Wenyan smiled and said.

"Actually, this is the property of the four princesses of the prince's family!"

"Huh?"

Lao Zhu's heart was shocked when he heard this, and his mind suddenly recalled the scene when he beat Zhu Yunxi violently because of a misunderstanding, causing the four little granddaughters of the prince's mansion to cry and go to him to intercede.

When Zhu Yunxi was only a teenager, he knew how to earn a dowry for his four sisters.

Now that he is the emperor, as long as he has a holy decree, he can give the four sisters countless glory and wealth.

But he seemed to have forgotten about it, and only at the beginning of his ascension to the throne he made four sisters princesses, and there was no other reward.

This still caused a lot of controversy at the time, whether it was in the court or within the royal family, many people had opinions about Zhu Yunxi, secretly saying that he was mean and unkind, and he still treated his own sisters like this, and he didn't know how to treat the clan in the future.

However, it is precisely because of this that Zhu Yunxi's aunts did not dare to make trouble, and did not wantonly occupy people's land in the name of the eldest princess, build private workshops, etc.

Just when Lao Zhu thought that his eldest grandson was afraid that he would not be able to restrain other royal families, he wronged his younger sisters, and suddenly found that he still underestimated this grandson.

This grandson has already thought about all the preparations, and has prepared enough family funds for his four younger sisters, and it is a rich family foundation that is not visible and dewy!

"Tang He, Quanjude's business should be pretty good, right?"

Tang He nodded and said.

"Yun Xi, that kid personally instructed people to open a shop, can it be bad?"

"Normally, no one wants a duck for twenty wen, but now one for three hundred wen is still crazy to grab miles!"

"As far as Weichen knows, Quanjude has a total of fourteen stores in the capital, large and small, and each store can sell about three hundred ducks, which is two hundred before death!"

"Let's not count much, let's count each one as a net profit of two hundred wen, and this day it will be forty taels of silver!"

"That's fourteen thousand four hundred taels a year!"

"The four princesses share the fourteen thousand taels equally, and each of them has a net surplus of three thousand six hundred taels!"

"Counting the farms, fields, and shops they marryed, plus the property of the husband's family, it is easy to exceed 10,000 yuan a year, which is enough to live a luxurious life!"

"The most important point is that they didn't occupy a penny of the imperial court, and they can't find fault with the civil and military officials or the people of the world!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, his interest in mentioning it suddenly faded.

He can be sure that Tang He is involved in the matter of sealing the king.

However, can male and female babies be the same?

The king is not only a fief, but also an army, and a small court with a royal palace has to shoulder the responsibility and obligation of guarding the country for the old Zhu family.

As for princesses, county lords, and the like, they are just daughters who have been married, and it is just a matter of giving more dowry silver.

Tang He also saw that Lao Zhu was unhappy, so he immediately ended the topic and grabbed the roast duck with Lao Zhu to eat.

After the two of them showed off most of them, Tang He wiped his mouth with satisfaction.

"Superior, why don't we go out for a walk!"

"Turn?"

"That's right!"

"Don't you know how lively our Nanjing City Night Market is now!"

"Don't look at this hour, there are more than 100,000 people in the Xuanwu Lake Night Market and Dajiaochang Night Market!"

"Huh?"

Lao Zhu also heard of the night market when he was in the matchbox workshop, but he didn't expect it to develop so exaggeratedly.

"Then go and see?"

"Okay!"

"But Weichen doesn't recommend that you bring the emperor's guard of honor, so as not to disturb the people who play and drink at night!"

Lao Zhu nodded kindly, immediately changed into a set of plain staff robes at Tanghe's house, and led a few brocade guards to drive the carriage from the backyard to the Xuanwu Lake Night Market.

Before they arrived at the Taiping Gate, Lao Zhu saw the bright lights on the Taiping Gate on the carriage.

This is the night scene that Zhu Yunxi created to celebrate his birthday, but I didn't expect that after a few years, the night scene has become more and more spectacular instead of being demolished.

As soon as Lao Zhu's carriage passed through the city gate, he heard the sound of laughter, fighting, juggling, and hawkers shouting along the street outside the city gate.

Lao Zhu couldn't sit still when he heard this lively sound, so he ordered someone to carry Tang He off the carriage on the spot, and then personally pushed him to wander around the night market.

"Upper position, this is not yet the night market, this is only outside at best!"

"Huh?"

"It's so lively out there now?"

Lao Zhu visited the night market a few years ago, but at that time, the night market was only a few streets, and it was only derived from the Xuanwu Lake People's Garden.

After a few years, I revisited the old place and found that this place has long been out of the scope of Xuanwu Lake Park and has become a new city.

Tang He is an old patron here, and from time to time he brings a few concubines over for a stroll.

"Superior, have you seen that tall building?"

"That high-rise building is the Qianming Building, if you eat on the top floor, a meal will cost a hundred taels of silver!"

"Another day, Weichen invites you to try it, the whole fish banquet in that restaurant is good."

Lao Zhu's brows couldn't help frowning when he heard a meal of one hundred taels of silver, and when he passed by the Qianming Building, he saw a group of businessmen and officials coming in and out, and Lao Zhu's face became even more ugly.

"What a system!"

"When did our Ming officials fall into the company of businessmen!"

"Come on, let's check secretly, what kind of officials always run here on weekdays!"

"Find out where they got the money to eat and drink here!"

"No!"

Qin Deshun bowed down to receive the order when he heard this, and then hurriedly arranged for someone to do it.

Tang He Wenyan showed a smug smile on his face, the secret path is still the top position, and the most unbearable thing is that the official has a good life!

However, Zhu Yunxi did some things too much, and he was too indulgent to the people below.

It's only been a few years, and the Ming Dynasty has become a miasma, the officials are not like the officials, and the people are not like the people.

Looking at the silk and satin all over the street, you can't tell the difference between high and low!

Lao Zhu also noticed the extravagance of the pedestrians on the street, many of whom not only wore shoes made of satin, but even decorated with pearls, agate and other jade.

"It's too extravagant!"

"In the long run, our Ming Dynasty will have to be polite and happy, and the people's hearts will not be ancient!"

"The superior is right!"

"Under the rule of the new monarch, there is a lot of singing and dancing, but the details still have to be checked by the top!"

Lao Zhu nodded in agreement, and decided to reiterate the ban in a few days, and let the people take off their brocade clothes and change back to the coarse cloth clothes they should have wore!

Especially those businessmen and untouchables, we must catch a few typical ones and deal with them fiercely, let them clamp their tails and be people!

Lao Zhu pushed Tang He and walked for a while, and suddenly found a strange thing, that is, there were alien people busy outside many shops on both sides of the street.

Some are outside to make stoves to boil water, some carry groceries, some carry sedan chairs, or pull carts and two-wheeled carts to run around the streets.

"Where are so many aliens?"

Tang He said with a strange smile.

"Why else, of course it's because it's cheap!"

"How expensive is our Daming wage now, ordinary women have two or three taels of silver a month, where can ordinary stores afford to hire them?"

"Therefore, many people buy slaves from slave catchers to help them work!"

"However, the price of slaves is not cheap, and those who can fluently speak a few words of our Ming official dialect are as high as a few hundred taels!"

"Even if it's like those who can only do some odd jobs at the door of the store, a slave will cost hundreds of taels!"

Seeing this, Lao Zhu became worried again.

"With so many alien races suddenly pouring in, will it mess up our Huaxia bloodline?"

Tang He Wenyan smiled and said.

"It's hard to say!"

"However, there are strict inspections in the vicinity of Gyeonggi, and there are fathers-in-law in the palace to supervise them. Every year, we will check it regularly, and if we find that there is a clean body, we will make up for it! ”

"As for the remote places, it is difficult to say, many people think that the pure slaves cannot do heavy work, so they try to help hide and escape."

"This matter must be investigated by the superiors fiercely!"

"Otherwise, in a few decades, we really don't know what color it is!"
