Quest Issue 45: Contest (2)

"The bright moon rises out of the Heavenly Mountains, between the vast clouds and the sea, the long wind is tens of thousands of miles, blowing the jade gate off." Hanxia Baideng Road, Hu peeping into qinghai Bay. Since the conquest of the battlefield, I don't see anyone still..." Late at night, the bright moonlight penetrated into the imperial study and spread evenly on the side of Zhu Yuanzhang's book case, and two tribute candles spat and jumped on the side of the book case, illuminating the room brightly.

Turning around from the window, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his gaze to the picturesque map of jiangshan again, and some places painted on the silk cloth had already shown black because of Zhu Yuanzhang's continuous touching. In the place where he touched the most, there were small flags densely planted, which was the boundary between daming and Mongolia's actual control area, and each flag represented a health station. In the direction of Liaodong, there were also a dozen red stars pinned into an arc with needles, like a noose, firmly attached to the Jinshan Department. One of the big red stars was particularly conspicuous, and that was Su Ceyu, who was inserted behind the enemy.

After a moment's hesitation, Zhu Yuanzhang took out two small red flags from the book case, one in the river and one in the Nanyang Islands. Wu Anguo was right in his recital, there are no eternal enemies and friends, only eternal interests.

"Hooray, such a good mood today," a gentle female voice sounded at the door.

"Zi Tong, come in," Zhu Yuanzhang agreed, withdrew his gaze, and walked towards the book case full of folds. Hundreds of folds a day, really tired enough, usually there are four auxiliary officers to help pick and choose, today's rotation of Li Shanchang suddenly took a leave, all the folds he can only read alone, has been working until now to have some eyebrows.

The empress ma gently walked in with a few palace maidens and took a basket from the maid's hand, which contained a freshly boiled porridge and a few small dishes. Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty, and when he became emperor, he could not forget the food of these people's families, and the imperial dining room could not make the right taste, and every autumn, It was Empress Ma who personally boiled porridge for him to eat.

Taking the porridge, Zhu Yuanzhang took two sips while it was hot, ordered the palace maid to retreat, took Empress Ma's hand and said, "Zi Tong, you have worked hard."

"What's the hard work, do some chores, use your hands and feet, and express your muscles and blood." I heard that the Taishi did not come today, I am afraid that the emperor is too tired, I am a woman and a Taoist family, I can't help much, waiting for the emperor to eat a full stomach is not a matter of duty."

"Zi Tong, come, sit down, I'll tell you something interesting." Our son-in-law, hey, laughed to death" Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously in a very good mood today, and pulled Empress Ma to sit next to the book case.

Next to the bookcase, in addition to the chapter, there was a pile of secret reports sent by the Jinyi guards from all over the place, neatly pressed under the paperweight.

Our son-in-law? You said Wu Hou, what happened to him, didn't His Majesty say that he was making a fool of himself before? ”

Although He initially felt that Wu Xiaozi was disobedient, he ordered Jin Yiwei to do his best to help him stabilize the political situation in Peiping. Today Jinyi Wei sent me a bunch of reports, too foolish, this boy, play those wang bastards to death! ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how the concubines are getting more and more confused the more they listen, you drink the saliva first, be careful of your body!" Empress Ma listened inexplicably, and the Jinyi guards would say good things about the minister, which was the first time in the world.

"You listen to me, on the seventh day of this boy's arrival in Beiping, the major businesses in Beiping obeyed his orders and united, headed by the Zhang family, the Yang family, the Xu family, the Zhan family, and the Gao family from the western region, directly reduced the price of rice under their respective banners to the level of the beginning of the year." The autumn harvest is imminent, and other small traders and vendors have to follow the price reduction" Zhu Yuanzhang thought more and more happily, and he couldn't laugh as he spoke.

Empress Ma was shocked to hear this, what trick did Wu Anguo and Guo Pu play, at this time hard to lower the price of rice? Autumn has arrived, the valley hurts the peasants, at this time the price of rice is reduced, can the people who grow grain be happy?

In the midst of doubt, Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "There are a few people who instigate local fathers and elders to go to Yamen to reason, and the price of grain has been high for a year. The prefect Xu, who had made meritorious deeds, took the leading squire to the palace, and after talking for two hours, several squires left happily. Guess what, the day after this incident, beiping yamen issued a notice, and two newspapers in Beiping reprinted it, and officials from all over the country under the administration of the Beiping Cloth Administration department counted the number of farmland this year, and after the autumn harvest, each household could sell grain to Zhan Ji Commercial Firm according to the fixed quota of the actual number of acres cultivated, and Zhan Ji bought it according to the average price on the market last autumn, which was higher than the price of their own rice! ”

The horse queen is even more strange, expensive to buy and sell cheaply? Confused by these merchants? Rich people have never seen such a game. Moreover, those guys who hoard in Beiping can let it be so tossed?

Thinking of this, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's unbearable appearance, presumably Wu Anguo must have won, and smiled softly: "Your Majesty, although this Wu Anguo is reckless, the accounting is very clever, and the concubines think that he will never do a loss-making business."

Yes, When Jinyi Wei received this report, he couldn't guess what this boy was doing, so he never dared to report to me, and the next thing was even more interesting, Zhu Yuanzhang said happily, About ten days later, The literati Xu Jinru, who had no way of doing anything, saw that the official government did not appear, and he was the scalp and the Beiping merchants, and hired the scoundrels to go to the Zhang family's rice shop to organize a group to grab rice, shouting that Beiping was selling the law, how much he received, how much he paid in cash, and did not have to sell to others!

This shameless guy! Empress Ma snorted disdainfully, thinking in her heart, thanks to his reading of so many books, he actually did not know the word "shame", knew that Zhu Yuanzhang still had the following, and quietly listened to her husband.D.

As a result, without waiting for the government to come forward, the Zhan family suddenly pulled more than two hundred cars to block his doorway. Seeing the lively surrounding the water leaking, the common people that are happy, a strong cheer" Zhu Yuanzhang's introduction gradually brought personal feelings, those traitors who made trouble in Beiping, through the Jinyi guard, he had some information in his hands, although the behavior of these people did not violate the laws of Daming, but it looked really angry. They were reorganized, saving Zhu Yuanzhang the trouble of going through the trouble, which was really gratifying.

"Didn't Banzai say that Beiping was very chaotic, and did the other troublemakers watch the Xu family being fooled by the Zhan family?" The horse queen is a good partner for listening to stories, and knows the key moments to mobilize her husband's desire to continue.
