On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang thought about what he had experienced before he started the army.
In those years, Zhu Yuanzhang had seen too many life-and-death situations.
He also knew how the people struggled to survive under the chaos of war.
When he ascended the throne outside Jinling City, Zhu Yuanzhang swore in his heart that since the heavens had made him the emperor, he would not let the people of the world suffer from this kind of war again.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict shortly after he ascended the throne.
All the people in the world who discovered that officials were corrupt could directly hold the Da Gao and lock the criminals into the capital. Officials at all levels were not allowed to obstruct them, otherwise they would be punished as accomplices.
He was also merciless towards corrupt officials, directly skinning them for 50 taels of silver.
It was so that the people of Ming would not have to suffer from exploitation like before.
Who would have thought that in the end, Ming still could not escape the fate of the past dynasties, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not be distressed?
Unknowingly.
Zhu Yuanzhang had already reached the foot of Mount Zhong.
He looked at the small courtyard in front of him.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked into the courtyard without turning his head.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Qin Zhan's voice came from the dining table in front of the courtyard.
"Old Master? Is there something bothering you again?"
At this time, only Zhu Yuanzhang could look for Qin Zhan.
Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh, walked to the dining table and pulled out a chair. He poured himself a glass of wine and sighed.
"Sigh, Mr. Qin, I've been troubled by a lot of things recently…"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Qin Zhan couldn't help but smile.
"Old Hu is disobedient again?"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said,
"It would be better if it was Old Hu."
If killing Hu Weiyong could produce so much silver, Zhu Yuanzhang would be disrespectful to the people of Ming Dynasty if he hesitated for even a second.
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Qin Zhan immediately said,
"Then it's about money, right?"
A single penny stumped a hero. After a year of contact, Qin Zhan could see that " Old Master Huang " really wanted to do something for the villagers.
The conflict with Old Hu, apart from the fact that " Old Master Huang " was too paternalistic, was probably because Old Hu stopped " Old Master Huang " from doing things for the villagers.
Nowadays, anyone who wanted to do something needed money.
Money wasn't everything, but not having money was absolutely impossible!
Hearing Qin Zhan's words, Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but reveal a bitter smile.
"Mr. Qin, I really can't hide anything from you!”
"Don't judge our village by its poverty. It also depends on who we are compared to. Compared to the other villages around us, our village is still slightly richer by a hundred million points.”
"Let's not talk about the distant ones. Just take the village in the north of us for example. Their lives are much worse than ours.”
Speaking up to this point, Qin Zhan couldn't help but laugh.
"Isn't that all because you've been working hard for the village for so many years?”
Hearing Qin Zhan's words, Zhu Yuanzhang felt very pleased.
She picked up a mouthful of food with her chopsticks and smiled.
"You can say so. After so many years, it's not that I've endured hardships and tasted gall, but I've been conscientious and conscientious.”
"But there are villages that can't bear to see others doing well.”
"When I have nothing to do, I come to the village to steal things.”
At this point, Qin Zhan's face could not help but reveal a trace of shock.
" Can you tolerate this old man?!"
To Qin Zhan, this was a blatant crime!
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was at the side, naturally patted the table excitedly when he heard this.
" Then can we endure it?!"
"Mr. Qin, you don't know that our two villages have a feud!”
"To be honest, before we became the village chief, our village had been bullied by the neighboring villages for almost a hundred years!”
"We took the villagers and drove them away before we became the village chief.”
"Now, every time we see them, we beat them up!”
"But then again, their village might not be able to beat us, but they can't stand their sudden actions to disgust us!”
"We found a few villagers and took turns to guard the northern entrance. We beat them up once we saw them!”
If it wasn't for the fact that the " Old Master Huang " in front of him was a human, Qin Zhan would have thought that he had transmigrated to Sheep Village.
He could only casually say.
"Isn't that good?"
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh, as if he had opened a chatterbox, and smiled bitterly.
"Mr. Qin, you know that most of the people in our village live in the south of the village. There are few people in the north.”
"At first, it was good, but the villagers also have wives and children at home. We brought the villagers to discuss who would guard the north entrance and how much food the village would give each year.”
"If it's like this all the time, it's fine.”
"But our village can't continue to be so poor. Recently, we've been thinking of doing something to make the villagers in our village a little richer.”
At this point, Qin Zhan had a rough understanding.
He beat her to it and smiled.
"But you need money to do anything. Old Master, when you wanted to do something, you found that the majority of the money in the village was used to support the villagers who were on duty in the north of the village, right?”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded his head as he listened.
"Yes, that's the truth!”
