Zhu Youxiao had to admit that time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, more than 30 years have passed in this world.Even Qin Liangyu, a veteran who was still fighting fires for Daming Sheji in the later period of Chongzhen, was in this time and space, and when he was seriously ill.And when he reached the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, he began to think about the end of the problem from time to time.But Zhu Youxiao is fortunate that in history, he should have ended his life as early as the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and he is still the master of the Ming Dynasty.Now he is walking in Huarong County, Yuezhou, in a town market, and wants to see first-hand what the grassroots level of the Ming Dynasty looks like under the rule.Looking at the bustling bazaar in front of him, Zhu Youxiao knew that his appearance had indeed changed the direction of history.As a result, even the people of such a small place are still immersed in the peaceful years, and do not know what war is.In order to protect the local ecological resources and avoid the frequent natural disasters in the Ming Dynasty, the ecology is over-damaged, resulting in more frequent disasters.Zhu Youxiao has long since repeatedly ordered that it is strictly forbidden to reclaim lakes and burn mountains to make land, and he is committed to moving the remaining landless peasants to Taiwan, Bangladesh, India, Burma, and other arable areas in the South Seas.Mineral resources are also mainly mined from outside the customs and overseas.Therefore, the local ecological environment of Daming has been well protected.The ecology of Zhu Youxiao's current place is very good.Although there are still a large number of people here, and there are even many foreign enemies who have visited here, there is basically no pollution caused by the widespread use of coal after the start of the steam industrial revolution.However, Rao is still doing a good job in infrastructure construction in these inland remote areas.Cement official roads are densely networked, and bridges can be seen everywhere.Even if he, the emperor, came here, he didn't feel the slightest inconvenience."
Where I ascended the throne, even in the area of Jingshi, there were countless hungry people!
Many border roads have fallen into disrepair, the state treasury cannot make ends meet, and later disasters have occurred frequently!
”"But it is in this situation that now it is possible to make all parts of the world look new, the roads are densely covered with a network, and the houses are like forests, which is undoubtedly because of the more wealth obtained from overseas expansion, which has reached the current point of prosperity without decay, so the rulers still have to actively open up to the outside world!""
In addition, we can't let the growing wealth become the extravagant capital of the powerful and wealthy families, so that in addition to corrupting the world, there is no use at all, and we must use the increased wealth more for the national economy and people's livelihood as we are now, even after a hundred years, it is also beneficial to the country and the people."
Zhu Youxiao also said to Wen Tiren, Lu Xiangsheng and others with great emotion."
What Your Majesty said is that even the ministers would not have imagined that there would be such a change in the Ming Dynasty thirty years ago."
Wen Tiren replied at this time.Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "The minister did not dare to hide from His Majesty, at the beginning of His Majesty's accession to the throne, many people in the world began to think that the decline of the Ming Dynasty was a foregone conclusion, and the idea that the national fortune would die from now on, now it seems that the Mandate of Heaven can be predictable, fortunately Your Majesty ruled the country with an iron fist, so that if the prosperous era reappears today, even far better than Longwan, how fortunate the minister is, can see this situation with His Majesty." ”Zhu Youxiao glanced at Lu Xiangsheng, who died on the battlefield for the Ming Dynasty in history, and couldn't help but smile faintly: "But the evil of human nature is eternal, the same as the goodness of human nature, and it is easy to follow evil, and it is difficult to follow good, so those who are in power still cannot take it lightly, beware that people in the world will still be because of the inherent evil of human nature, and habitually harm others and benefit themselves, and make the world continue to decline from prosperity to decline, the more in this thriving time, the more vigilant, Fan Zhongyan of the Song Dynasty said, the first worries of the world, and the joy of the world after the world, it is this reason, We have to worry about what the world is not yet worried about. ”"Remember, Ministers!"
Seeing that it was going to rain, Zhu Youxiao and his party prepared to leave the market and settle in Huarong County.But when Zhu Youxiao came to walk along the newly built Huarong Road to Huarong County, he saw a bridgehead, which was blocked by some people with a wooden fence.Next to the wooden fence, there is also a pergola.Pergola face crosses meat."
How many of you are from out of town?"
Among them, the bearded man even asked Zhu Youxiao because of this.Zhu Youxiao glanced at Yang Tinglin.Yang Tinglin stepped forward and replied: "We are passing merchants, I don't know why you suddenly stopped the official road?"
”Therefore, the strong man replied: "Don't talk nonsense, first pay the transportation fee, one yuan of silver per person, and you can pass it if you pay it!"
”"Ridiculous!
Who told you to set up checkpoints and charge fees?
Are you government servants?
”Yang Tinglin replied."
Damn, why are you asking so much?"
The bearded man picked up the knife on the table as he spoke, then walked out of the pergola, looked at Zhu Youxiao and the others and shouted, "Hurry up and pay the money!"
”Yang Tinglin glanced at Zhu Youxiao and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you want to give money?"
”Zhu Youxiao sneered: "Why do you want to give money?"
You just said that there is no money, and there will be a fight later, but you can see what the grassroots has not noticed in addition to the oppression of the people by the wealthy family. ”"Yes!"
Yang Tinglin replied, and understood what Zhu Youxiao meant, so he directly reprimanded: "You guys are violating the king's law!?"
The tax is collected by the government!
”Therefore, the bearded man directly pulled out his knife: "You still want to educate us, don't you want to live?!"
”"Then you should take a look?"
Yang Tinglin replied coldly.The bearded man sneered because of this: "Toast and don't eat and drink, right?"
Yes!
You wait. ”Then the bearded man whistled.Not long after, a large number of young people suddenly appeared in the surrounding greenery, about a thousand people, each with a variety of weapons in their hands, and even farm tools."
These are supposed to be local farmers, and some of them have mud on their trouser legs!
This is the so-called farming when the farm is busy, and being a bandit when it is not busy!
”Zhu Youxiao said in a low voice at this time."
How's it going, are you scared now?"
The bearded man smiled proudly at this time, and after asking a word, he said: "We have noticed your group for a long time, and at first glance it is a big caravan, and this horse is much better than the horses of the ordinary caravan!"
If you know each other, you will pay the toll, everything is easy to say, if you don't know each other, even if you leave your life here, no one knows, the mountains here are high and the forests are deep, and the government will not know at all, not to mention, these ten miles and eight towns are our own people. ”"Later, I will find the people from the county government, ask the reason for this is also a bandit, let everyone show their official uniforms first, ride on horses, and remember to let people go to Junshan immediately to transfer the army!"
Zhu Youxiao ordered at this time."
Yes!"
Not long after, Zhu Youxiao and his subordinate generals and guards all began to get on their horses and undress.The bearded man was a little puzzled at first, he didn't understand why these men suddenly took off their clothes.But it didn't take long for him to understand, for he soon saw that one of the men, a slightly older man, had taken off his robe and had revealed his yellow robe, while the others had all been in python robes or flying fish suits, and had drawn their knives.Swish!
Swish!
Swish!"
This, this, this is the emperor?"
