Chapter 99: If you don't die, use it hard
"Brother Bin, give, thirty or twenty thousand silver bills, you count!"
Zhu Chun's forehead was sweating, panting slightly, and he appeared in front of Lan Bin again, took out a stack of treasure money from his long sleeve, and handed it over.
Lan Bin looked at Zhu Chun, and then looked at the treasure money in his hand, originally thinking that Zhu Chun was very poor, and he was his brother-in-law, so he advanced the principal for him.
As a result, he found out that the clown turned out to be himself.
This poverty is relative!
No matter how poor the prince is, he is also the prince, and he is much richer than many people.
Thinking about it, he took the treasure money and counted it, and after making sure that it was correct, he accepted the treasure money before saying, "Money, I accepted it!" You wait for the dividends!"
"Okay, thank you, Brother Bin!" Zhu Chun said sincerely.
Although Lan Bin is his brother-in-law, he should help him. But he felt that everything was undeserved, Lan Bin was willing to help himself, that was Lan Bin's affection.
And if you accept it openly, it is not kind.
Especially Lan Bin not only pulled him to do business, but also gave him a place to intersect with the prince's eldest brother.
Don't look at yourself as a prince, there is still a difference between the prince and the prince.
The relationship between the prince and the emperor determines this difference.
His generation of the king of Shu, because he is the emperor's son, will have a better life.
But what about the next generation!
If you can't maintain a good relationship with the emperor, can the next generation have such a good life?
"It's going to be a family soon, say thank you and you'll be outside!"
After Lan Bin waved his hand, he looked at the soap, soap, and nunu mouth on the table: "These soaps, soaps are our own business, and they are better than pancreas. You can take it back and use it for yourself, or you can give it away."
"Yes, Brother Bin!" Zhu Chun beckoned and asked the accompanying eunuch to take away the soap and soap on the table.
"Alright, it's not too early, I'll go back first! If you think the soap or soap you brought back is useful, ask me and I'll bring it to you!"
Lan Bin nodded, exchanged a few more words with Zhu Chun, and left the main hall directly.
Zhu Chun looked at Lan Bin's back and sighed in his heart, Lan Bin's brother-in-law is really good. My father ordered one for me, it's a good family affair!
"Cousin, cousin..."
Not long after he walked out of the main hall, Lan Bin saw Zhu Biao with an excited expression and trotted over.
Lan Bin was surprised, "Cousin, what's so exciting?"
"Cousin, you come with me!"
Zhu Biao came to Lan Bin's side, dragged Lan Bin's arm, came to a relatively remote place, waved his hand to let the accompanying eunuchs and palace maids retreat, and then solemnly saluted Lan Bin.
Lan Bin was startled, and hurriedly dodged: "Cousin, you are a king, I am a minister, how can a king salute a minister, don't harm me!"
"Cousin, I am not saluting you as a prince, but as a cousin. Thank you for waking me up!" Zhu Biao said seriously.
Lan Bin didn't react for a while, and said suspiciously, "Cousin, what are you talking about waking up?"
"I used to be blind, because I had a lot of different concepts with my father, I hid everything in my heart, and I had less communication with my father!"
Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Recently, because of the empty seal case, the contradiction with my father has become more acute. If you don't say the right thing when you meet, you will quarrel. I haven't even calmed down to communicate."
"And today, after you wake up, I will go to communicate with my father."
"And guess what?"
Lan Bin suddenly knew what was going on, it was nothing more than Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang communicating heart-to-heart, eliminating the gap between the two. And Zhu Yuanzhang has been dormant recently, and he has not been brewing a big move as Zhu Biao imagined.
Or the big move brewing is within Zhu Biao's expected range.
But knowing that he was aware, Lan Bin still made a very curious look: "What's the matter?"
"Father, I have begun to correct the unjust, false and wrongful cases in the empty seal case. And the punishment of the officials involved was reduced. From the seizure of the house involved in the case and beheading, it will be changed to a lighter punishment depending on the circumstances."
Speaking of this, Zhu Biao was excited.
Since Jinyiwei set off the empty seal case, local officials around the country have been arrested and killed.
The empty seal case is getting bigger and bigger.
And he pleaded with Zhu Yuanzhang again and again, and persuasion did not work, and seeing that the local officials were about to be slaughtered, he was even more anxious.
And now Zhu Yuanzhang finally stopped, but because of his and Queen Ma's persuasion, he stopped.
How does this make him not excited.
Lan Bin was a little curious: "Cousin, what kind of punishment is this lenient punishment?"
"Officials who have committed great sins only behead their homes and do not implicate their families. Officials who are shallow in their sins are allowed to hand over stolen money, work in shackles, and make meritorious contributions to their crimes." Zhu Biao said with a smile.
Compared with the early stage of the empty seal case, the officials involved in the case often raided their homes and exterminated the clan, and even punished the nine clans, he felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's punishment of the officials now was not too light.
Lan Bin pulled the corners of his mouth, it was rumored that there was a big strange story in the Hongwu Dynasty. Local offender officials work in shackles, try cases, etc., and continue to go back to their cells to go to prison to atone for their crimes.
I thought it was a rumor, but now it seems that Zhu Yuanzhang really did it.
Sure enough, it is Zhu Yuanzhang.
Use officials as livestock, and if they don't die, they will use them hard, squeeze the last drop of blood out of officials, and be loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
Pity Zhu Biao, I thought Zhu Yuanzhang had taken it.
As everyone knows, Zhu Yuanzhang's light punishment is more uncomfortable than beheading and copying his home.
But then again, it's better to die than to live, and it's not too much better for people to live than to behead, especially the Zhujiu clan.
Thinking about it, Lan Bin thanked him and said, "Cousin, congratulations on getting what you wanted."
"It's all your cousin, if you hadn't woken me up, I wouldn't have been able to let go of my prejudice against my father. Not only did he not know that his father had stopped, but he also maliciously speculated about his father, which really shouldn't be!" Zhu Biao waved his hand.
Lan Bin hurriedly said, "No, no, no, it's all my cousin's credit. If it weren't for my cousin's repeated persuasion to the emperor, how could the emperor change his mind!"
"You!"
Zhu Biao pointed at Lan Bin, didn't dwell on this, and said, "In addition, my father is now thinking about the implementation of commercial taxes."
"Cousin, the commercial tax was suggested by you to your father, and you have to come up with more ideas when it comes to collecting commercial tax!"
"My cousin is in need, just call me, it's incumbent on me!" Lan Bin was overjoyed, Zhu Yuanzhang finally paid attention to business taxes, and hurriedly hugged his fists.
"Okay, I made a note of it!"
Zhu Biao smiled, and after expressing his excitement to Lan Bin again, he suddenly remembered one thing, and said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you about a happy event, and my father also pardoned your brother, wife and children."
"Now Jinyiwei should release your brother-in-law, wife and children, and when you return home, maybe you will be able to see them!"
"Your Majesty!"
When Lan Bin heard this, after saluting in the direction of Qianqing Palace, he chatted with Zhu Biao for a few more words, and then retired.
Back in Lan Mansion, Lan Bin really saw that in the main hall, a woman in her twenties, haggard, and tortured, with three children, was talking to Lan Yu.
Without introduction, Lan Bin knew that the women and children were the wives and children of his brother-in-law Lan Chen.
