The snow in Kyoto is a harbinger of a good year.

The first year of Zhengde gradually went away, and the court, which had been noisy for a year, seemed to be slowly quieting down with the emperor's wedding.

No one wants to kill anyone, not even thieves have to go home for the New Year.

But one day in November, there was an incident on the central street of the city that never sleeps.

The place where the accident happened was in front of a shop, and the words 'crispy tofu' were hung above the shop.

Under the signboard, there is a girl with light cuffs and a bun.

And before the girl, it was a boy who was knocked to the ground with a punch,

In addition, there is another person riding on him and continuing to beat him!

This matter has to be said back, two months ago, the city that never sleeps was full of investment, and the attractive conditions offered were that the Jinyi guard personally maintained law and order, and no one was allowed to sell or buy things without following the rules.

This kind of thing is too attractive for an unusually beautiful girl.

So this tofu Xi Shi borrowed money from all over the place, and he was about to rent a shop on the central street of the city that never sleeps.

She is confident that her skills are extraordinary, and as long as there are many customers, she will naturally make money when she opens her door to do business. Moreover, there is an official government in the city that never sleeps, and there is no fear of gangsters coming to the door.

However, the blatant gangsters will not come to the door, but the cowardly brother in Beijing will not leave.

These half-adults who are not mentally complete have never done anything serious except eating and drinking when they are so old, what do you expect him to do?

Ordinary people saw Jinyiwei who was walking around, he was not afraid, ordinary people thought that the street dispute was a loss of face and ruining the family style, but they didn't think so.

But it doesn't matter if they fight like this, the 'crispy tofu' business can't be done.

After all, who doesn't want to come around here for a bite to eat, in case they get into trouble?

At this point, this woman named Yu'e was cornered, she borrowed money to open a store, where can she afford it?

Later, I suddenly remembered that the official said that the security of the city that never sleeps is guaranteed!

In this way, she sued these two people with a complaint!

In order to manage the city that never sleeps, the imperial court specially set up a branch office on the side, which is called the city security station, which is composed of personnel from the criminal department, Dali Temple, Jinyiwei and Shaofu.

These people also couldn't imagine that the first eucalyptus after the opening of the government was the eucalyptus of the two uncles!

The name of the beaten person is Zhou Du, who is from Changningbo Mansion, and the name of the beater is Wang Huan, who is from Weiningbo Mansion.

How do you judge this kind of lawsuit?

After grinding down the skin of the mouth, Wang Huan of Weiningbo Mansion was generous, and he paid for the tables, chairs and benches that were unintentionally damaged; Changning Bofu was not to be left behind, and he paid for the losses that affected his business.

There are two interrogators, one is Chen Youguang, the director of the Criminal Department, and the other is Jinyi Wei Baihu Wei Xuezheng.

As a result, Yu'e refused to let her, and she had to ask the government to rule that Zhou and Wang were not allowed to go to her shop again.

But how is this possible?

The other party is an uncle, the city that never sleeps is opened by the government, and the road is built here, why don't you let him go?

The point is, even if the sentence is so severe, who will enforce it? What do you do if he just goes? Who hangs his head on the waistband of his trousers every day to stop these two people from the Uncle's Mansion?

If you can't do it, you have to judge blindly, isn't this moving a stove to roast yourself?

But Yu'e is all kinds of good things about how the court is serving the people now, and after hearing too much, I feel that I can't do business in the city that never sleeps.

So if it is not ruled that these two people are not allowed to go, she will not leave, and she will speak disrespectfully in court for this!

In this way, Chen Youguang and Wei Xuezheng were immediately angered, and when it was useless to persuade left and right, they were angry and impulsive, and they wanted to punish Yu'e for the crime of 'roaring filial piety'!

As a result, the two kings of Zhou were unhappy again, so they openly obstructed the law enforcement of the judges, and at the same time did not want people to rule that they were not allowed to go.

It froze.

What can Chen Youguang and Wei Xuezheng do, they can't fight, and they can't be sentenced. Then step back and don't judge!

But this girl is a fierce person, so she won't be judged?

Don't try it, how do you say those things that never sleeps in the first place?

Anyway, she couldn't do business when she went back, so she knelt and didn't leave.

The people in the yamen knew that the sons of the two uncles' mansions liked her, and no one dared to touch her.

And it is the cold winter wax moon, the sky is full of snow, where can the mortal body withstand this?

One night came, and there was a person lying in the snow, and she fainted!

Although he was carried to the hospital for treatment and no one died, as soon as this incident came out, the Jingshi was in an uproar!

What was originally a simple eucalyptus fighting for women has become a big eucalyptus that is unfair to the law and order!

The words on the sign are good-looking, what children are not bullied, and the law and order are good, but in the end, the ordinary people are unlucky!

In this way, people's faith in the city that never sleeps is gone. When I opened the door to do business, I was afraid that the powerful would bully me, and the city that never sleeps would engage in such a big battle, which originally made some people have illusions in their hearts. It turned out that it has only been a long time, and it is still the same!

And Yu'e was treated in the women's hospital, and it was a matter of life and death, and the people in the women's hospital had no choice but to hurriedly go to Dr. Tan to come over and administer the needle, and finally picked up a life.

As a result, the girl didn't want to live either. She was lying on the bed, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.

Tan Yunxian couldn't help it, so he said to Yu'e: "There are many things in the world that are not satisfactory. Temporary grievances and difficulties are nothing, as long as you live, there is still hope. ”

"Thank you...... Thank you, Doctor. But the little woman ...... Born in poverty, in order to open this shop, he annoyed his family, and borrowed a lot of silver, and now when he encounters this kind of thing, where is there any hope. ”

The girl was choking back tears, but it was also pitiful.

And after the matter gets bigger and bigger, sensible people still know the severity, especially the principals in Changningbo Mansion and Weiningbo Mansion, what is the city that never sleeps, can they not know?

In a panic, they immediately sent gifts to Chen Youguang, the head of the Criminal Department, and Wei Xuezheng, the head of the Jinyi Wei Baihu, and asked them to rule as soon as possible, so that those two bastards would not be allowed to go to Central Street.

The uncle came in person and gave gifts, what else did the two of them have to say?

That's really the verdict.

But the problem is that in a place where the family style is corrupt, if you really can control the family, then there will be no such person in the first place.

In the past month, in December, Wang Huan of Willingbo Mansion went again.

One went, and the other naturally didn't get used to him. It's all Earl's Court, you can go, I can't?

In this way, it is completely bad,

It's okay that the police station didn't sentence, everyone thinks you still have a 'secret weapon', and when you are sentenced, it's still like this, then all merchants and people know that you are useless!

Under such continuous tossing,

What security guarantees, what paradise on earth, are all deceptions, and the people's trust in the government is already fragile, and now it is even more gone!

Although the consequences will not appear immediately, more and more people will test that the red line is true, and the city that never sleeps is also slowly and slowly chaotic......

The so-called city that never sleeps, except for no curfew, nothing else is new!

Anyway, this is not a big deal, there is not much life and silver, and the emperor sitting in the palace does not know.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao was admiring Gu Zuo's "The City That Never Sleeps", which froze a lively moment on the night of the emperor's wedding.

So he lit the charcoal fire, enjoyed the snow scene, and accepted his work and a sense of accomplishment with peace of mind.

There is only one person next to him, and the second year of Zhengde is approaching, and some things have to be laid out.

"The painting is good, but it's just getting started. I remember that at the beginning of the year, a topic was set for the court meeting to open up sources and reduce expenditures, and now it seems that the implementation of cost reduction is average, and open source is quite effective.

The city that never sleeps, it is a matter of trickle and long-term, and it will not be in the limelight for two or three years, and the silver recovered will still stay in Shaofu, if you feel confident, you can go to Yingtianfu to make a city that never sleeps. But this is not in a hurry, it is a matter of two silvers at the moment.

First of all, the silver of Lianghuai came from Lianghuai, or went to Lianghuai, since the engineering team for road construction was set, as soon as the Spring Festival passed, the road surface thawed and let them enter immediately. This is a major event in the second year of Zhengde.

The problem is the second one. Judging from Zhejiang's report, this year's annual entry will suddenly have more sea trade, coupled with the accumulated silver of the original imperial court, some voices in the imperial court think that I have scavenged too much silver from the people. In other words, the imperial court has power. ”

Gu Zuo listened for a long time, but he didn't expect the emperor to put pen to paper in the last place.

"Your Majesty means ...... Want to use this power? ”

The firelight flashed in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, and he didn't have any expression.

But underneath this silence is turbulence.

So far, the major things he has done are to fight two battles at the border, one is to change the policy of the sea ban, and the other is to shake the salt law.

Other small things such as academies, medical centers, and library gardens, as well as the addition of the Bingyin Imperial Examination under the system, and the transfer of officials under various circumstances.

However, none of the above touches on the real core issue.

The Ming Dynasty had three basic problems, and if these three were not solved, there would definitely be an emperor who would die a hundred years later, not in the coal mountain, but also in another place.

These are the three core issues, namely the guard, the tuntian, the preferential exemption of the gentry, and the support of the clan.

If you solve any of these problems, even if you only feel emotional, you will feel that the burden on the country will be reduced and the vitality will be increased.

But it's really hard.

And the impact is more drastic than moving a few salt merchants, after all, no matter how rich the salt merchants are, but they are not the basis of the rule itself, what big disturbance can the merchants make?

But the 'vested interests' in the above three problems are actually the ruling class itself.

"Ugh."

No matter how wise Zhu Houzhao is, he can't make up his mind, he is not afraid, but worried about whether the time is ripe, and now is only the first year of Zhengde......

"Why is Your Majesty sighing?"

"Nothing."

Around this time, Jin Gui, the attendant room, suddenly walked in, he bowed and kowtowed, raised his hands, and only said: "Please Your Majesty." ”

When Liu Jin heard this, he had already set out to take it.

It's just a small note, and Zhu Houzhao is a little puzzled, because there is just one sentence on it: Yu'e tofu on Central Street is wronged.

"Liqing."

"The minister is here."

"Do you know about the tofu shop on Central Street?"

Gu Zuo looked up blankly, "Your Majesty...... What does it mean? ”

Zhu Houzhao frowned, tilted his head and ordered, "Go and call Mao Wen." ”

"Yes."

Liu Jin responded silently, he couldn't actually see what was written on the note, but according to the emperor's expression, he estimated that this matter was not simple.

Alas, I don't know who doesn't make people happy during the New Year.
