"Fang Xiaoru?"
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered and frowned.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, Zhu Rong couldn't help but ask,""Old Master, do you know him?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled." Yes, he is a famous scholar in the world. How could I not know him?”
"What's wrong? What did he just do? You said that he was pedantic, inflexible, stubborn, and could not be appointed?”
"This…"
Seeing Zhu Rong hesitate, Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment, reached into his sleeve, took out a treasure note, and handed it to Zhu Rong.
"Fine, I won't let you work for nothing!"
“......”
Looking at the notes in front of him, Zhu Rong felt awkward." Old Master, that's not what I meant."
The reason why he hesitated just now was not because he wanted money, but because he was not sure about the relationship between the old man and Fang Xiaoru.
Yes, Chinese culture was broad and profound, and there were many layers of meaning in it.
If the old man only knew Fang Xiaoru and his relationship with Fang Xiaoru was ordinary or not, he would not care. He would say whatever he wanted.
But what if the old man and Fang Xiaoru had a good relationship and were very good friends?
If he gossiped behind people's backs and said bad things about them, wouldn't that ruin his character and image in front of Old Master Ren?
It would also affect his long-term business relationship with the old master!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked up and asked," What does that mean?"
Then, he raised his hand and shoved the money into Zhu Rong's hand.
"Who cares what he means! You set up a stall to do business. I can't just sit in the manger and let you chat with me for free, affecting your business!”
"We'll give you money, and you'll chat with us. We'll feel at ease, and you'll be in a good mood.”
“......”
What kind of nonsense was occupying the latrine pit!
Zhu Rong rolled his eyes.
However, looking at the old yellow-haired man's serious and serious appearance, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Alright, Old Master, we'll do as you say!”
However, although the old man had misunderstood his meaning, he had also clarified one thing. The relationship between the old man and Fang Xiaoru was probably not that good. It seemed that they really only knew each other.
Who would spend money to listen to others complain about their good friends!
Besides, a boorish old man like Old Yellow Head who was spouting nonsense did not match someone like Fang Xiaoru who had read too many sage books!
After taking the money, Zhu Rong told Zhu Yuanzhang what had happened.
Zhu Yunwen jumped up and exclaimed,"Bran? How could they dare to give this thing to others to eat! They were taking bribes and bending the law, treating human lives with no regard!”
Zhu Rong rolled his eyes at Zhu Yunwen who was yelling.
Just like Fang Xiaoru, this devilish brat was a fool who had gone crazy from studying. His brain could not work at all!
"Taking bribes? As an official of the Ying Tian Prefecture, how could you be so foolish as to dare to tamper with the money and grain!”
"The Embroidered Uniform Guards, the Ministry of Personnel, the Imperial Censorate, and the Six Departments have countless eyes on the capital, not to mention the Dengwen Drum that has been set up in front of the palace gate ten miles away!”
"To cut corners and take advantage of the disaster grain so openly, unless the officials of Heaven Ying Prefecture don't want to live anymore, that's more like it!”
Zhu Rong sneered at Zhu Yunwen.
“......”
That gaze that was no different from looking at an idiot fell on her, making Zhu Yunwen angry.
However, what this fellow said was reasonable, making him unable to refute.
Just as Zhu Rong had said, there were too many large and small supervision departments in the capital, not to mention that his grandfather was an emperor who liked to check on the people's feelings from time to time.
Even if there was no one to supervise and the victims had nowhere to seek justice, they could still go to the palace gates and beat the Dengwen Drum to report the situation!
If the Ying Tian Prefecture really mixed wheat bran into the porridge given to the disaster victims for the sake of greed, then they were indeed digging their own graves and seeking their own death!
Zhu Yunwen gritted her teeth and asked,"Then tell me, why did they change the disaster relief food to wheat bran?"”
"It's very simple. It's to distinguish between disaster victims and civilians!" Zhu Xiong replied calmly.”
" For the disaster victims who have been starving for a long time, they will eat even if the pot is full of bran, tree bark, grass roots, rotten leaves, and Guanyin clay, let alone the porridge!”
"For the victims who have been starving for a long time, it doesn't matter what they eat. What's important is that they have something to eat to keep them alive!”
"But the civilians who are hiding among the disaster victims and falsely claiming disaster food will not do so.”
"In this way, disaster victims and civilians are naturally separated.”
Zhu Rong spread his hands and spoke with confidence.
Zhu Yunwen felt that his tone was particularly harsh.
"How can you be sure that what you said is right?" he asked, staring at Zhu Rong.”
"Because the government runners gave a wooden token to every refugee who came to collect the porridge and made a registration."”
"As for the wooden tokens in the hands of those commoners who falsely claimed the disaster grain, I think they will definitely not be able to take them back.”
"But why are you so sure that those civilians won't eat it?”
Zhu Yunwen continued to ask.
Zhu Rong rolled her eyes at him teasingly." It's very simple. You'll know when you go over and taste a bowl later."”
“......”
Zhu Yunwen's eyes bulged and her face turned red," I can't do such a thing!”
Zhu Rong shrugged." I'm not asking you to pretend to be a disaster victim. You can spend money to buy a bowl and try it."”
Zhu Yunwen was flustered and exasperated." I'm not an animal!”
Seeing Zhu Yunwen like this, Zhu Xi was amused." Since you don't want to eat it, why do you think that others are willing to eat it?!"”
"Why doesn't anyone eat bran? Wasn't it because this thing tasted bad? No one was willing to eat it, so they gave it to the animals!”
"Those commoners don't have to worry about food and clothing either. The reason why they falsely claimed the disaster grain was just to take advantage of the public. Who would really be willing to eat the food of livestock?”
"But the disaster victims are different. As long as they can survive, they can eat anything!”
Zhu Yunwen was stunned.
Only then did he realize that he had fallen into a trap!
Just now, he had unknowingly been used by this fellow and became an accomplice!
The answer that he objected to just now had become the most favorable evidence for the other party to justify himself and refute him!
