"Don't be in a hurry to disperse, we still have something to ask you."

In the main hall, all kinds of things that need to be reported and dealt with are almost announced.

The officials waited for Zhu Yuanzhang to give the order to disperse.

As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at these ministers at this time and said this.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, these courtiers who were waiting to disperse the dynasty and hurry to eat something were all shocked in their hearts.

It's as uncomfortable as it gets.

The early dynasty is really tossing people, and the third or fourth watch is about to get up.

If you like to eat more and have conditions at home, you will be asked to prepare something to eat in advance.

But most people come to court on an empty stomach.

On the one hand, it is because there are many officials who are reluctant to eat more of this meal.

There are also some people who can afford to eat, but they get up too early in the morning and have no appetite and can't eat.

After the morning court, the palace will take care of the rice.

Although the meals provided by Zhu Yuanzhang are not very good, they are generally two dishes and one soup.

One of the dishes is pickles.

There are even many times when there are only steamed buns and rice porridge.

Even this bun is often a vegan stuffed bun with no meat.

But these people got up early in the morning, and until now, they are all hungry.

They all look forward to eating.

Even if the food provided by Zhu Yuanzhang is really not good.

But in this case, as long as you can fill your stomach, how can there be so many picks and chooses?

Everyone was waiting to go to the back of the scattered dynasty to cook, how could they have thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would suddenly come to such a sentence again.

The lethality of these words is simply the same as that of later generations, when the last class at noon, the students who heard the school bell ringing and wanted to rush out immediately to cook found that the teacher was dragging the hall.

Although the courtiers were uncomfortable, they did not dare to disobey.

I can only stand here and wait.

And pray in my heart for Zhu Yuanzhang, to make a long story short, but don't talk about it endlessly.

Otherwise, when they go to eat, the food will be cold.

And Zhu Yuanzhang, who picks the door, in order to save some firewood money, will not order someone to carry the food back for heating.

They can only eat cold rice.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the reactions of these courtiers in his eyes, and his heart was very happy.

These courtiers just want to give them some means when they are fine.

Can't let their lives be too easy.

Zhu Yuanzhang just figured out their psychology of being in a hurry to eat, so he specially left this matter at this time.

In order to drag them down, to see how they want to eat but can't.

We don't know what kind of psychology this Zhu Yuanzhang has to do this kind of thing.

Anyway, he likes not to be a man every day.

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered someone to send tables, chairs and benches in the middle of the night to Han Cheng, who woke up twice in one night, and he had something to say.

"Tell me, are we all paying you a low salary? Are they all enough? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang paused, looked at the courtiers in the main hall, and said slowly.

When a sentence was spoken, everyone in the court and China was stunned.

One of them couldn't help but look at each other.

They really didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would not disperse, and what they wanted to say was this!

What kind of style did Zhu Hongwu smoke, and what kind of idea did he play?

Why did you suddenly ask about Yulu?

The amount of money given is not low, is it enough to spend, don't you count it in your heart?

Since the dynasties and dynasties, the money you gave is low!

mentioned this, one of the people present was counted as one, and it was all a stomach of grievances.

However, before figuring out what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, no one dared to speak indiscriminately at this time.

They were worried that it was Zhu Yuanzhang fishing.

Never overestimate Zhu Hongwu's character, he can really do such things.

To tell you the truth, let's say that they are too low, they really don't have the guts.

I am afraid that Zhu Hongwu will be furious, so I will take this opportunity to make trouble and rectify them.

said that it was enough, and I was afraid that Zhu Hongwu, an inappropriate guy, would take this opportunity to give them a low salary.

This is really a fatal question.

Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang asked this, there was silence in the court.

No one dared to speak.

If you don't get it right, you'll get yourself in, but it's second.

The most important thing is that if someone does not answer well and causes Zhu Yuanzhang to surrender, he will definitely become the public enemy of all courtiers.

If you want to be above the court in the future, and then continue to mix, it will be too difficult!

"Why don't you speak?"

Zhu Yuanzhang waited for a while, and when he saw that no one was silent, he looked at them and asked.

It was okay that he didn't ask, but when he asked, everyone became even more silent.

One by one, their heads bowed, motionless, like wooden stakes.

For fear that the slightest conspicuous move would be noticed by Zhu Yuanzhang, and let them answer this fateful question.

"Don't say yes, do you? If you don't say anything, then we'll start naming names. ”

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said this, everyone in the court, one counts as one, and they can't help but be worried.

I am afraid that I will be named by Zhu Yuanzhang to answer such a fatal question.

These people in the court, all of them are well-known figures.

But in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, you can be as honest as you want.

In the silence, Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze swept over everyone.

Then he spoke: "Wang Qing, come on." ”

As soon as Wang Qing said this, the hearts of the courtiers surnamed Wang couldn't help but jump suddenly.

"You are the secretary of the Criminal Department, you come to tell us what your money is like."

Profound! It turned out that he was shouting the book of the Criminal Department!

The rest of the courtiers surnamed Wang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

And Wang Huidi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who was named, sank in his heart.

Among so many people, why are they so unlucky?

Of course, such thoughts, he did not dare to show on his face.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the plan formulated by Your Majesty has gone through many considerations and investigations.

All aspects have been taken into account, which is in line with the current national conditions of our Ming Dynasty.

In Weichen's view, the Yu Lu formulated by His Majesty is very reasonable, no more, no less. ”

As soon as Wang Huidi said this, the courtiers present couldn't help but praise in their hearts.

is worthy of being a scholar, and it is really an old fritter.

Neither said that this is high, nor is it low, but only that it is just right.

In this case, Zhu Yuanzhang will have no chance to make trouble.

I want to take the opportunity to give them a low price, but there is no door!

At this time, these officials have basically reacted, and they feel that Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden question today is that nine times out of ten they want to lower their profits.

As for giving them a raise, they won't even think about it.

It's simply impossible!

Expecting Zhu Yuanzhang to suddenly give them a raise, it is better to expect the old sow to go up the tree!

After Wang Huidi answered this, he was also secretly proud.

He felt that there was nothing wrong with his answer.

Whoever wants to find fault can't find it.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang is the same!

"So?"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and asked him to step back.

Then a few more people were ordered and asked for their opinions on the matter.

With the demonstration of Wang Huidi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, the next people also know how to deal with it.

The words are different, but the meaning is the same.

That is, the current Yulu is very reasonable, and there is no need to change.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked several people, all of them.

The courtiers were secretly proud in their hearts, thinking that they could use the excellent performance of themselves and others to dispel Zhu Yuanzhang's evil deeds of wanting to give them a low fortune.

This is a big win for them!

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "So, you are quite satisfied with the current Yulu?" ”

All the courtiers nodded their heads, indicating that this was the case.

resolutely did not give Zhu Yuanzhang any chance to reduce their fortunes.

"Alas!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

"We originally thought that we would give you more money, but since you are all very satisfied with the current Yulu, then forget it."

What???!!!

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said this, the courtiers who were still there just now were glad, and they were immediately stunned.

What the hell?!

Zhu Yuanzhang asked so many questions just now, but he actually wanted to improve their income? !

This...... What the fuck is this?!

The courtiers, who were secretly proud just now, couldn't be proud anymore.

As much as it hurts in your heart, it hurts as much as it gets.

It's like eating a fly.

Don't mention the remorse in your heart.

This is especially true for those who are poorer.

Wang Huidi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was also not proud at this time.

At this time, he felt as if countless eyes had fallen on his back, making him faintly feel a chill down his spine.

He knew that these were all the eyes of those colleagues in the court.

Wang Huidi felt like crying at this time, and there were many beautiful words in his heart that he wanted to say.

Zhu Hongwu is not a person!

He specially dug a big pit and waited for himself to jump in!

Specializing in pit your own!

You said that you are the emperor, and you still use these methods to trick people every day, is this really good?

Childish or not?

In Wang Huidi's heart, she is as uncomfortable as she wants.

"That...... Your Majesty, just ...... Some of Weichen's words just now are not quite accurate.

Though...... Although His Majesty's plan is reasonable.

But I, Daming, have been peaceful for more than ten years.

After His Majesty's hard work, it is full of vitality.

The price of these things is also a little higher than before.

Actually, this ...... Yu Lu was still a little nervous. ”

Wang Huidi had no choice but to bite the bullet and look at Zhu Yuanzhang and say such a thing.

Don't say no!

If you don't say it, Zhu Yuanzhang, an inappropriate person, made such a show, and he, the one who took the lead in speaking, would really become the target of public criticism.

Will be sprayed to death by those courtiers.

Hearing Wang Huidi say this, the rest of the courtiers also followed.

Say that what they just said, some of them are not quite accurate or something.

Zhu Yuanzhang took their reaction into his eyes, and he was happy in his heart.

For these courtiers, he felt that this was the case.

I'm going to walk them if it's all right.

There are some things that can't be done directly, and that is to mess with their mentality.

After getting the mentality, I put things into practice.

In this way, they will be more grateful to Dade.

After all, what is easy to get, no one will cherish.

For this, Zhu Yuanzhang has extremely rich experience.

This is all achieved by fighting wits and courage with the courtiers for so many years.

Zhu Yuanzhang hung for a while, and after the courtiers' appetites, he said:

"Okay, we know, whether it's difficult or not, as long as we talk about the matter of rising profits, you all want to rise.

We can understand the mood.

After all, no one is afraid of how hot money is. ”

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang say this, all the courtiers present laughed along.

Obedient and listening, they can basically hear from Zhu Yuanzhang's words that Zhu Hongwu is still ready to give them a boost.

However, before this matter is implemented, no one dares to be careless.

"We've decided, I'll give you a little bit of a boost!"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang finally say this. The courtiers present were all reassured.

At that moment, they all knelt down and saluted to thank Zhu Yuanzhang for his great kindness.

I don't know how the sun came out of the west.

Zhu Yuanzhang, a person who is extremely picky, suddenly thought about giving them a raise.

But whatever! As long as the price increases!

Zhu Yuanzhang said happily: "Don't worry about thanking us first."

There are conditions for us to give you a price increase, and it is not accurate to say that it is a price.

To be precise, it should be said that it is welfare that has risen. ”

The courtiers who heard these words couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts.

knew that Zhu Hongwu was not so kind to give them a raise.

Now it seems that it was.

Everyone didn't say anything more, just looked at Zhu Yuanzhang one by one, waiting for him to announce the specific charter.

In any case, the matter of rising money has involved the hearts of too many people.

"According to our original intention, we are happy to give benefits to each of you.

It's good to make the big guys happy.

It's just that we decided at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty that all aspects will cost money.

In our emperor's hands, there is no surplus food.

So we can't give benefits to everyone.

To whom and how?

Who takes more and who takes less, it's not up to me to decide, it's up to you! ”

Next, Zhu Yuanzhang told him what Han Cheng said to him about the welfare of officials.

The framework is the framework that Han Cheng told him, but compared to what Han Cheng said, what Zhu Yuanzhang said at this time has all kinds of details.

It is also stated that there are various rules for obtaining performance or deducting performance.

"See?

As long as you can follow our requirements, meet these conditions, and be able to complete all the effective performances, plus benefits, you can get the original two months' money a month!!

As for those who do not perform well, don't think about welfare.

It's also honest, take the original ones.

The opportunity is here, and the rules are clear to you.

If you want to get more money, do it.

If you don't want to get benefits, that's fine.

Don't say we're not fair, it's fair for us to do this.

Whether you can get this benefit next depends on your own ability!

There is a good saying, it is called a wolf travels thousands of miles to eat meat, and a dog travels thousands of miles to eat!

Now, whether you eat meat or depends on your own efforts! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at everyone and said such a demagogic remark.

As his voice fell, there was a commotion in the hall.

Obviously, these things announced by Zhu Yuanzhang are very impactful for many of them.

When it comes to money, no one is unmoved.

There was a lot of talking.

There are also many people who have a fighting spirit in their hearts, and feel that they must complete the task well in the future, strive to get the highest performance, and thus get the highest benefits!

Originally, the officials of the Hongwu Dynasty, under the leadership of a boss with very strong executive power such as Zhu Yuanzhang, were quite rolled.

Now, as soon as this performance appraisal is linked to welfare, these people can really roll up to the sky!

However, it's different from the previous passive volume.

Now that this benefit is in front of them, these people will turn the passive volume into an active volume.

It's even more terrible to roll it up.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the reactions of these people into his eyes, and called it a beauty in his heart.

Han Cheng, this kid, gave himself this idea, which is really good.

It not only increases the income of these people, but also allows these people not to take the money in vain, but also to work harder for themselves.

At the same time, I will be grateful to myself.

That's a lot to count!

"Let's talk ugly in front!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waited for these people, and after being excited for a while, he looked at them and spoke again.

His face became serious: "What we hate the most in this life is corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and there are already a lot of money for you!"

Now that we have paid for this benefit, your life will be much better.

Then each of you must have a rod and scale in your heart.

Control your hands, don't be greedy, don't take money that you shouldn't take.

Do those corrupt things!

Otherwise, we won't be able to spare you!

We were not polite to corrupt officials before, but now we have increased benefits for you, if anyone dares to be greedy again, then wait well! ”

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's words came out, the hall that was still very lively just now was as if a basin of ice water had been splashed.

In an instant, it became silent.

None of the people present would suspect that Zhu Yuanzhang was talking empty words.

Over the years, countless human heads have confirmed that this emperor said that if he cut off people's heads, he would really cut off people's heads.

He can really deal with corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

At that moment, everyone said that they would never be greedy, and they would be absolutely loyal to the emperor and so on.

But it is not known how many people are telling the truth, and how many are able to remember what is said today and continue to practice it.

People who have a quick brain reaction have already seen the essence of things through superficial phenomena at this time.

It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang has the real purpose contained in this series of things promulgated today.

This trick is very powerful!

Not only can you reduce the dissatisfaction of many officials by spending some money, but because the salary is too low, Zhu Yuanzhang is dissatisfied.

At the same time, he also saluted before the soldiers, and said the words to the front in advance, if anyone dares to be greedy in the future, when Zhu Yuanzhang punishes him ruthlessly, no one can say anything wrong.

There are several other benefits as well......

It's really clever!

How did Zhu Yuanzhang think of this move? !

While some people are amazed, there are also people who are alarmed.

This...... Is it really all Zhu Yuanzhang who came up with it himself?!

At first, they never doubted it.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang himself is a person with a detached personality.

It's easy to think of a play as a play.

Before that, there was no shortage of whimsical policies.

But now, some people don't think so.

Because recently, Zhu Yuanzhang has come up with too many strange policies!

Too often!

If these are not what Zhu Yuanzhang thinks, then who is the hand of these?

Today, the person who rode the crane of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and swaggered through the city appeared in the minds of some people.

If you calculate carefully, it seems that this series of changes began after that person appeared and treated Queen Ma.

Could it be ...... Are these changes really caused by Han Cheng?

Someone is alarmed.

But when such an idea arises, I feel a little unbelievable.

After all, the man was just a healer.

There shouldn't be that much energy.

But think about it again, Wu Bozong and others, when they were arguing with the person named Han Cheng in the Hongwu dictionary about whether they should use pinyin, Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely protective of Han Cheng's performance.

and what I saw today, the majestic scene of him riding the prince crane made many people's hearts heavy.

If you calculate it carefully, it is really very likely that this Han Cheng did it, and all kinds of death-making actions.

In recent times, the only variable that has appeared is only him!

This Han Cheng is really damned!

It's only been such a short period of time, and it has caused such a big change, if it goes on for a long time, is this okay?

Zhu Yuanzhang himself loves to mess around, plus such a person, this still makes them live a good life? !

Some people are angry and worried.

And the very few people who knew that Han Cheng was going to be unlucky sneered in their hearts.

Let's do it hard!

What can he do again?

He's going to die.

As long as he dies, it won't be long before a lot of his influence fades away.

It's the same as Wang Anshi and others.

Anyone who dares to die, who dares to challenge their Confucianism, and who moves their interests will die!

No one can protect it!

Whoever it is, the result is the same!

There is no choice but to die!

Sure enough, as Han Cheng gradually appeared in everyone's field of vision, and Zhu Yuanzhang started to make some innovations, the confrontation had already begun.

And, it was intense from the start!

……

In King Yan's mansion, Han Cheng sat here, looking at the fat monk with a pair of triangular eyes in front of him.

As soon as Monk Daoyan sat down, he was about to tell his fortune, which really surprised him.

"Okay, then forget it."

After thinking for a while, Han Cheng looked at Dao Yan and nodded.

He has never told a fortune in his life.

I'm a little curious, what Dao Yan can calculate.

Could it be that you can still calculate the biggest secret of being a traverser?

Even if he calculated, he was not afraid.

After all, as soon as he came to Daming, his identity as a traverser was exposed.

In this case, it doesn't hurt to really figure it out.

If Dao Yan could even calculate this, Han Cheng really admired Dao Yan's ability.

Hearing Han Cheng's promise, Dao Yan suddenly became elated.

He saluted Han Cheng, and his expression became solemn.

Reaching out and taking something out of a black-looking cloth bag around his waist.

The thing was as white as jade, and if you looked closely, it was actually three pieces of tortoise shell the size of a palm.

I don't know if this is a real tortoise shell or a fake tortoise shell.

Anyway, it looks quite mysterious.

After Monk Dao Yan took a deep look at Han Cheng, he spread the broken bag on the table in front of him.

Holding the three tortoise shells in his hand, he couldn't make out what he was saying.

After a few moments, he threw the tortoise shell into the air.

Immediately, the tortoise shell landed on the cloth bag.

Dao Yan glanced at it a few times, then put away the tortoise shell, and then repeated the previous action.

So again and again.

After doing this, Monk Daoyan's eyes lit up.

Then, the fat face crumpled.

"Or is it so? Is it still like this? ”

He muttered to himself.

In the voice, there is extreme confusion and incomprehension.

"Boom!!"

At that moment, suddenly there was a loud bang outside, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.

Dao Yan's hands couldn't help shaking.

Zhu Di and Han Cheng were also taken aback.

It's really too sudden, and it's too big!

It's like a thunderbolt exploding very close overhead.

Before they could react, they heard a commotion outside.

Then someone said in a panic that an apricot tree on the side of the street outside the gate was split by thunder.

When Zhu Di and the others heard this, they hurriedly opened the door to see.

I saw that the sky was still clear not long ago, and at this time, there were a lot of dark clouds gathering in the sky.

Many people are in shock.

Today's weather is a bit weird!

And at this time, Dao Yan's face was already wrinkled, and at this time, he was even more wrinkled and couldn't see his eyes.

After learning that it was just a tree and did not hurt anyone, Zhu Di beckoned Han Cheng and Dao Yan back to the house.

"Master Daoyan, have you figured out anything?"

Came to the room and sat down, waited for a while, and saw that Dao Yan was still frowning and not speaking, Han Cheng couldn't help but ask out loud.

This is the first time he has been told his fortune, and the person who told him his fortune is still a historical celebrity like Dao Yan, who itself has some mysterious colors.

He was eager to see what he could figure out.

Dao Yan glanced at Han Cheng deeply and said, "It's strange, the hexagram is exactly the same as the one I calculated last time."

The sky is vast and chaotic.

All you could see was a red light, and nothing else. ”

Han Cheng was stunned when he heard this, did Dao Yan really have something, or was he talking nonsense there?

"How can this be? Or...... Great monk, you can do the math for me again. ”

Dao Yan shook his head again and again: "No, no, no!" If I continue to count, the great monk will die if I can't say it.

Didn't you see that the thunder had already rained down from the sky just now?

If I don't stop and continue to count, I can't say that the thunderbolt is me.

Although the life of the great monk is not valuable, he doesn't want to lose his life because of this. ”

Han Cheng was stunned again by Dao Yan's words.

"Is it that mysterious?

Isn't it just a bolt from the blue?

It is normal for the sky to thunder, which is caused by the friction of wind and clouds.

Or a warning from heaven?

Great monk, you are too capable of breaking it.

Come on, you will count it for me again. ”

Hearing Han Cheng say this, Dao Yan's face became even more bitter.

"It's not enough, although I used to do a lot of things about Han Jushi's origin and you.

I secretly calculated it for you once, and it was a bit offensive to say.

But Han Jushi, you can't hurt me like this!

You want the life of the great monk! ”

When Han Cheng heard Dao Yan say this, he always felt that this great monk was too mysterious.

He looked at Dao Yan and said, "Master, can't you go against the sky and count it again?" ”

Dao Yan shook his head, and the flesh on his face swayed with it.

"The mandate of heaven cannot be violated, who can go against the sky, and who dares to go against the sky?

Even if there is someone who can go against the sky, it will definitely not be a poor monk.

The poor monk is just a monk who keeps to himself, can calculate some hexagrams, and likes to eat meat.

Don't dare to do anything recklessly in this matter.

Don't dare to act against the sky. ”

Hearing this, Han Cheng looked at the Daoyan monk in front of him and said, "Great monk, why don't I think you didn't tell me the truth."

No matter what I think, you don't look like the kind of person who keeps to himself, great monk.

Walking against the sky doesn't seem to be so scary.

At least for you, the Great Monk, it's not terrible. ”

Hearing Han Cheng's words, Dao Yan's expression remained unchanged and he continued to shake his head.

Han Jushi laughed.

I'm just a monk who likes to eat wine and drink meat, and that's what I usually do, the biggest restlessness.

In addition, I am very peaceful, how dare I act against the sky?

If you don't believe Han Jushi, you can ask His Royal Highness King Yan. ”

Zhu Di nodded, indicating that what Dao Yan said was correct.

Han Cheng didn't want to let Dao Yan go.

"Really? I don't believe it.

I don't believe that Master Dao Yan is the kind of person who is so mundane that he doesn't dare to challenge the Mandate of Heaven.

Master Daoyan, if you really don't dare to go against the sky, just like you said, keep to yourself

How could it be that when His Majesty was in the dynasty and Hongwu was prosperous, he still thought about the chaos in the world.

Want to assist people in rebellion and change hands?

Why is Master Dao Yan so different? ”

"Boom!"

Another loud thunder suddenly exploded, but this time, the more violent thunder that fell, did not slash outside.

It sounded in Dao Yan's mind.

The whole person of Dao Yan was completely stunned......
