Now that the new Daming treasure banknote is printed with his portrait, it is impossible for him to go out on patrol in micro-clothes, and in the past, he only went out in a few counties under Yingtianfu, and usually returned to the palace on the same day, not too far from Beijing.

After all, he, the emperor, has every opportunity, and if he disappears from Beijing for a few days, then there will be no chaos in the court.

It is different to go on a tour in an open and honest manner, the emperor will be accompanied by ministers when he travels, just like a mobile court, called Xingzai, and all kinds of government affairs will be sent to this mobile court to ask the emperor for instructions.

However, this kind of practice is usually very costly, and it is not much better than a large army going out to fight a battle, so this kind of thing is usually strongly opposed by the ministers, and it is rare for a loser like Qianlong to go on a six-time tour.

Yangzhou is only 100 miles away from Beijing, and Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't need to go out of trouble if he wants to go out on patrol, he can go back and forth in three or five days at most, and there are still big people in the court to watch, so he doesn't need to worry.

After admonishing the eldest son, Zhu Yuanzhang left Beijing with some personal guards and entourage.

Zhu Biao was very envious of this, and he also wanted to go out for a tour to see the new city built by Li Wei, but since Zhu Yuanzhang handed over government affairs to him, he would definitely not let him follow.

Under the escort of the pro-guard army, Long Yuan sailed out of the Beijing division and traveled along the river.

Although the destination is Yangzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't go directly by boat, and it was difficult to get out, and he had to inspect these counties in the middle.

The team marched to Shangyuan County, and Shangyuan Zhi County had already brought people to wait on the side of the official road.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not specifically order people to inform the counties along the way, these officials also had some connections in the DPRK and China, and they got the news early.

"Yang Zheng of Shangyuan Zhi County sees Your Majesty!"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang coming down from the dragon, Shangyuan Zhixian hurriedly led the crowd to pay homage.

Zhu Yuanzhang came to Yang Zheng, looked at the officials and people who came with him to see the driver, and said lightly: "Get up." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yang Zheng thanked him before he got up and bowed his head respectfully.

"Let's go, take us to see the Shangyuan County you govern." Zhu Yuanzhang casually pointed to the field on the side of the road.

Yang Zheng hurriedly said yes, followed by half a step behind his side to show him the way.

"This crop is growing well."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the rice in this field and laughed softly.

"Yes, yes, since Your Majesty ascended to the pole, the crops in this field have grown gratifyingly, bumper harvests year after year, and the lives of the people are better every year, God bless Daming, God bless Your Majesty!"

Yang Zheng patted the horse's ass carefully.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed a few times, of course he didn't believe these, but it was normal for a courtier to be respectful to the king, and he wouldn't blame him for it.

"Hehe, very good, then let's see how this blessed crop grows."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed twice, casually reached out and grabbed a handful of rice, and pulled it out with a gentle pull.

When Yang Zheng saw his operation, his heart also followed Gerdon for a while! He not only pulled out a handful of rice at this time, but also pulled the heart of this magistrate to his throat!

Zhu Yuanzhang had a smile on his face, picked up the handful of rice, looked at the roots, and asked pretending to be puzzled:

"You said that this rice has such a few roots, how did it grow such a big spike?"

"This ...... Weichen ...... "Yang Zheng was speechless.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank when he saw this, and he said coldly: "Say!" ”

Yang Zheng was so frightened that he knelt down: "This is what Wechen asked people to select from other fields and place here, Wechen knows his mistake, Your Majesty forgives his sins!" ”

Yang Zheng repeatedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, not daring to hide it in the slightest.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him coldly, and scolded angrily: "Hmph, you have a lot of ideas, you don't do things well as an official, and your mind is purely focused on these flattering things, do we send you a fortune to let you do this?" ”

"Wechen knows his mistake! Wechen knows his mistake! Yang Zheng didn't dare to argue, so he begged for mercy vigorously.

"Mao Xiang, let's take him down! Strictly investigate, if there is any lawlessness, immediately beheaded! Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

"Yes!" Mao Xiang, who was with him, immediately stepped forward to receive the order and led someone to escort Yang Zheng up.

Yang Zheng was weak, of course he knew whether there was any lawlessness, Zhu Yuanzhang's words were tantamount to directly sentencing him to death.

"Your Majesty, you give Weichen another chance, the minister will definitely do his best to atone for his crimes, Your Majesty ......"

Yang Zheng begged for mercy again and again, but Mao Xiang didn't give him a chance at all, and quickly took him down.

Zhu Yuanzhang threw away the rice casually, and said with some disdain: "Hmph, carving insect skills, are we really so easy to fool?" ”

He was born in cloth clothes, and he also knows a lot about these agricultural affairs, and after becoming the emperor, he has repeatedly punished corruption, and he is also very clear about the tricks of these officials, and it is not so easy for these people to hide from him!

After killing Shangyuan Zhixian, Zhu Yuanzhang boarded Longlin again and continued his journey.

Yangzhou is in Jiangbei, Jingshi is in Jiangdong, the team traveled to the riverside ferry, crossed the river by boat, and entered the territory of Jiangpu County.

Jiangpu Zhixian trembled at the ferry to greet him, and led the gentry and people to salute and pay homage.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him lightly, and couldn't help frowning when he saw his scared appearance, in his opinion, this was clearly a manifestation of a ghost in his heart.

"What are you shaking?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked lightly.

"Huh? Minister...... Weichen was intimidated by His Majesty's heavenly might, so he was terrified and difficult to control. ”

Jiang Qingzhi County lowered his head, and in a panic, he was in a hurry, and made up a good reason.

Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes and looked at him for a moment, then snorted lightly and looked away at the people who were worshipping.

A few of these gentry were dressed as gentry, and the rest were ordinary people, dressed in ordinary cloth clothes, which were simple but also clean and tidy.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, casually pointed to a common person and asked, "Are the clothes you are wearing your own?" ”

According to his experience, ordinary people will not dress like this, and it is already considered good to have a complete shirt, and it is impossible to be so neat and close-fitting.

"Back to Your Majesty, the grass people's clothes were just issued by the magistrate."

This little common man didn't dare to lie in the face of the Son of Heaven's questioning, and directly sold Jiangpu Zhixian.

Jiangpu Zhixian felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, Weichen is afraid that the small people will be dirty and messy and pollute Your Majesty's dragon eyes, so he will send new clothes to the people who see the driver, and Weichen has no intention of deceiving!" ”

"Bastard! The people work hard and have a simple heart, how can we be disgusted by the dirtiness of the appearance? Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily.

When Jiangpu Zhixian heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he felt as if his head was about to fall to the ground in the next moment.

"The minister knows his mistakes, His Majesty forgives his sins, His Majesty forgives his sins!" Jiangpu Zhixian hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, but he didn't do anything about it, after all, he didn't do it too much.

"Since the clothes have been distributed to the people, they belong to the people, and you can't ask for them back, and the money will be deducted from your own money!" Zhu Yuanzhang's way.

When Jiangpu Zhixian heard his words, his heart was immediately overjoyed, and he immediately thanked him: "Weichen obeys the order!" Thank you, Your Majesty! ”

Great, no need to lose your head.

The magistrate of Jiangpu breathed a sigh of relief.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry was not over, and after that, he asked about the daily life of this people, taxes and servitude.

Li Wei didn't know about Daming's taxes at the beginning, so he didn't realize what the problem was when he first heard Yang Laosan complain about excessive taxes.

But Zhu Yuanzhang knows his tax system very well, and as soon as this little ordinary person talks about the situation, he knows the problem.

The situation in Jiangpu County is similar to that of Yangzhou before, and the officials will be biased towards the local heroes when apportioning taxes, and the originally very light taxes will become very heavy when they fall on the people, although they will not be unable to live, but life is definitely not easy.

Listening to the words of this people, Jiangpu Zhixian felt colder and colder.

It's just that the time is in a hurry, he didn't have time to prepare so much, so he casually found some people and pulled them over.

Although he also told these people not to talk nonsense, but they couldn't tell what they could say and what they couldn't, and in the face of the Son of Heaven's inquiry, they didn't dare to directly inform the county lord of the situation, and other things must be answered truthfully.

After listening to the words of this people, the corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched, anger surged, and shouted:

"Escort him to us too, and behead him after the autumn!"

Jiangpu Zhixian looked frightened and collapsed to the ground, and Mao Xiang quickly led someone to escort him down.

"One by one, they're all bastards!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was angry and scolded again and again, and it took a long time to calm down.

killed two magistrates in a row, and after boarding the dragon chariot, he was also frowning and in a very bad mood.

If Da Ming is such an official, no matter how diligent he is, Da Ming will not be able to really become strong!

Jiangpu County to the east, and the next one is Liuhe County.

Liuhe Zhixian wore shabby official uniforms, and brought the people in tattered clothes and skinny bones to meet the driver.

Zhu Yuanzhang got off the dragon chariot, and when he saw him like this, his face suddenly became even more ugly.

"How did you do this?"

"Your Majesty, it's difficult for Weichen, Liuhe County is powerful and powerful, and the people are lazy ......"

Liuhezhi County did not cheat anymore, and came up to complain, how difficult it is for the local heroes to deal with, how difficult it is for the people to manage, how hard he works but can not do anything.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to his complaints, and suddenly his head was big, and he interrupted angrily: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what's the use of what we want you?" ”

Liuhe Zhixian was also very honorable when he heard this, and said directly: "Your Majesty, Weichen is incompetent, please ask Your Majesty to depose Weichen and let Weichen return to his hometown." ”

He really doesn't want to be this official, he is not high, he is greedy or not, life is difficult, it is better to go home and farm, at least he still has some acres of land at home, and he will not live too badly.

Zhu Yuanzhang was even more furious when he heard this, which reminded him of a certain little bastard at the beginning.

"Bastard thing! You put Liuhe County in charge of us like this, if you don't do it, you won't do it, do you still want to go back to your hometown? You think you're that dog? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at his nose and scolded angrily, waved his hand after scolding, and shouted:

"Come on, take him down and cut us down!"

"Huh?" Liuhe Zhixian was dumbfounded. (End of chapter)
