Chapter 72: Family Reunion
The goods have not yet been shipped to the place, and the cost has already been lost. The little people were angry and hateful, so they brought the lamp grass to the shore and burned it all.
Let you collect taxes, let you collect taxes, the goods are burned, and you will be taxed by your mother's size.
See, this is the Ming Dynasty at that time.
In the collection of merchant taxes, the most affected are small merchants and hawkers, and the wealthy merchants, gentry and officials have little impact; If the sea is banned, it is the individual who is fat, and the country will not get much benefit.
And whether the policy is good or evil, when it is implemented below, it will always become the most beneficial to the interest group, and the loss and damage will be passed on to the small people.
In the face of such a bureaucratic system, such a chronic system, even those who travel through it will have a sense of powerlessness. Next, I am afraid that I will be depressed and angry, and I can't wait to chop up the officials, landlords, and gentry.
"Hoorayβ" Wang Tiqian's voice interrupted the young emperor's thoughts, his eyes widened, and all his hatred turned to the prince.
Wang Tiqian was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed deeply, and said in a trembling voice: "Emperor, yes, it's Miss Yu'er's business." β
Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, and spit out a sullen breath, this minion is still clever, and he didn't say anything.
Zhang Yu'er next to her was tickling the cat, and turned her head when she heard the sound, with a confused face.
"Get up, cowardly as a mouse." Zhu Youxiao scolded angrily and said, "But do you want to take Yu'er to take a look?" β
"Yes, Emperor." Wang Tiqian trembled and got up.
Zhu Youxiao's face turned a little pale, and he waved his hand and said, "Yu'er, take the snacks on the table and go with the prince to do something." β
Zhang Yuer didn't know why, but she still stood up and responded: "The slave obeys." β
The white lady lay there lazily, without any intention of following, and raised her little paws, as if waving goodbye.
Zhang Yu'er was amused, clawed her little claws dotingly, held her heart plate, turned around and withdrew from the palace gate with Wang Tiqian.
"Xiaobai, come here!" Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand to beckon, but the white lady glanced at him, didn't answer, and didn't move.
Zhu Youxiao smiled to himself, and it was also in vain to relieve his mood by petting the cat, and he was quite a little interested, and said with a sigh: "Even you don't listen to me, let alone those bastards below." β
The white lady closed her golden eyes, and the other eye was blue and blue, looking at the ninety-five supreme young emperor.
Zhu Youxiao stared at it for a while, the cat's eyes as pure as the clear sky seemed to have the effect of calming his mind, and he felt that his mood was much calmer.
Turning his head to look outside the hall, Zhu Youxiao muttered: "I want to know the situation in Guangning, I want to know who is loyal and derelict in the courtiers below, and I want to see the coastal area of the Ming Dynasty, from where I can go to the world......"
"Meow!" The cat's meow close at hand made Zhu Youxiao retract his gaze, and Xiaobai jumped silently onto the bookcase in front of him, with two different pupils shining, looking at him and shaking his head.
Zhu Youxiao had a smile on his face, and reached out to touch his big hairy head.
The little white head shook, dodged with a slight jump, turned his head and stared at Zhu Youxiao, and let out a "meow" at Zhu Youxiao.
"When you get stupid, you must suck enough." Zhu Youxiao rolled his eyes, and his heart was ruthless.
Zhang Yu'er followed Wang Tiqian out of the hall and asked suspiciously: "Princess, what kind of envoy did the emperor explain?" β
Wang Tiqian smiled and said, "Miss Yu'er, don't worry, you'll know when you get to the place." β
Calling Yu'er a girl, this is Wang Tiqian's new understanding, and it has been a few days since he changed. At first, Zhang Yuer was a little awkward, but later she got used to it.
Of course, Zhang Yuer is not stupid. In addition to Wang Tiqian, the palace people in the Qianqing Palace are also very respectful to her, and she still doesn't understand what the reason is?
With Wang Tiqian out of the Qianqing Gate, in the distance are the three major halls that were burned down by fire and abandoned by Emperor Wanli. The majestic empire, with this ruin, makes people feel like they are at dusk.
And out of the Qianqing Gate, it was already the outer court, and the guards in front of the door were strict. Wang Tiqian, as a palm seal eunuch, the guards did not dare to stop him, and politely led him and Zhang Yu'er to a duty room on the east side.
There was a middle-aged couple in the duty room, as well as a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, an eleven or twelve-year-old stinky boy, and a six or seven-year-old girl.
Although these four people were all wearing new clothes, looking at the roughness of their faces and hands, as well as their cramped and uneasy expressions, they knew that they were poor people and had never seen much of the world.
Several people had been waiting for a long time, and the youngest girl couldn't help it, so she secretly reached for the snacks on the table.
"Smack!" The middle-aged woman slapped honestly and unceremoniously, and scolded: "Don't move, didn't I tell you at home!" β
The little girl flattened her mouth, lowered her head and rubbed the back of her beaten hand, holding back her tears.
As soon as Wang Tiqian and Zhang Yu'er came in, several people immediately stood up, and the couple pulled their children and hurriedly knelt down to salute, shouting: "I've seen the official, I've seen the young lady." β
"Hurry up, hurry up." Wang Tiqian smiled kindly, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull them up one by one.
Zhang Yu'er was also taken aback, but she had just come in from outside, and the light had not yet adapted, and she didn't see the appearance of these people clearly. Thinking that he was the messenger who had come to deliver snacks, he put the snack plate on the table.
Wang Tiqian turned his head to look at Zhang Yu'er, and said with a smile: "Miss Yu'er, your family is reunited, and the miscellaneous family is no longer an eyesore here." β
With that, Wang Tiqian turned around and went out and closed the door.
A family reunion? Zhang Yu'er frowned slightly, and only reacted when the door was closed, staring at the people in front of him with wide eyes, and finally focused on the faces of the middle-aged couple......
Wang Tiqian stood outside the door, heard the silence inside for a long time, and there was a cry, he couldn't help but purse the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart: The emperor really didn't say anything about this Zhang Yuer, and he actually sent someone to find her relatives and bring them to meet, what a great grace this must be!
The miscellaneous family is now polite to Zhang Yuer and her relatives, and it can be regarded as a good fate. Who could have predicted that something would happen in the future?
Thinking of this, Wang Tiqian called two little yellow gates and asked them to wait here, and then send Zhang Yu'er back to the Qianqing Palace in a while, and he went back to the emperor first.
ecstasy, amazement, excitement, as in a dream...... Because Zhang Yuer was completely unprepared, her mood was also mixed in a mess.
But after all, blood is thicker than water, and for more than ten years, although it has looked the same, it can't give up family affection.
The mother cried and called, and the memories of her childhood came to her heart like the water that opened the floodgates.
Zhang Yuer felt as if she had countless things to say, but she felt as if she was blocked by something, and she couldn't say it. Only tears flowed, only hugging my mother to find the feeling she had had.
