The furious Zhu Yuanzhang was once again swift and decisive.
He opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.
One had to know that Zhu Yuanzhang had suffered from corrupt officials since he was young. He hated corrupt officials the most in his life.
He felt that he would not be soft-hearted when it came to killing corrupt officials.
No matter how strong you were in other aspects, anyone who dared to touch this principle would definitely start off as a skinned plant.
This was a principle, a principle that could never be touched.
It was obvious that this act of extorting money was simply trampling on his principles.
So what if he built roads for the people?
So what if the city walls were well built?
In his opinion, it was just a whitewash by a corrupt official!
Had he not seen enough officials who pretended to be greedy on the surface?
It was just that they could not build such a good road, nor could they build such a perfect city wall. It was just that they could not decorate it as beautifully as Ye Qing.
As the saying goes, if the lower beam is not straight, the upper beam will be crooked!
A mere city gate official would definitely not dare to do this. It had to be Ye Qing's instructions.
"What a corrupt official!”
"What a treacherous official who whitewashed his political achievements and rose to the top!”
Looking at everything in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately had such a definition of Ye Qing.
He didn't feel it from afar.
Standing under the towering city wall, he realized how perfect the repairs were.
There was not a single crack on the towering city walls. They were all inlaid with stone bricks and lined with white ash. Looking at them gave people a very stable and safe feeling.
Just this wall,
As long as they weren't stupid enough to command the defense, the Northern Barbarians who lacked large siege weapons wouldn't be able to break in no matter what.
The quality and specifications of this city wall were absolutely impeccable.
At the very least, it looked like there was absolutely nothing to say!
However, the more this was the case, the more Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was Ye Qing's whitewashing, an extremely brilliant whitewashing.
The other corrupt officials were all fakes that looked good on the surface and would be broken with a touch.
However, this corrupt official was different. He was the real deal!
He thought that this Ye Qing had used these real guys to rise to the top and win the trust of all the civil and military officials in the court. It was as if Zhu Yuanzhang had been poisoned after he became old and muddle-headed!
Because he had already seen the ridiculous thing that seemed to have been poisoned before he died, coupled with this obvious act of biting gold, he directly decided to give Ye Qing a preconceived notion.
A very brilliant corrupt official!
A very clever traitor!
He wanted to see for himself if the toll collector could convince him.
If they were not convinced, then they would do it together!
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was certain that he would not be convinced.
He hated corrupt officials so much. How could a few words make him agree with this kind of behavior?
After Zhu Yuanzhang strode forward, Mao Xiang, who was arguing, immediately retreated to the side.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes,
On the open space beside the city gate, a wooden hut had a sign beside it, which was the Yanmen County East City Gate Charging Management Office.
Inside the management office, there was a clean-looking and amiable young man dressed in an official's uniform.
It was the kind of appearance that could not be angered!
And behind this young man, there was a banner saying," patiently answer, service first, customer first!"
Looking at the twelve-word mantra and the polite young man, Zhu Yuanzhang's temper couldn't help but drop by half.
"Let me ask you, why do you have to charge everyone who enters the city a toll?”
"Isn't this road opened by me and this tree planted by me?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was also puzzled. Shouldn't he flip the table?
How did he manage to calm down so easily?
The toll collector only smiled politely." This old master is wrong. We don't collect toll fees from everyone."”
As he spoke, the toll collector pointed at the pedestrian passage in front of him."Look, ordinary people don't charge, but people riding horses don't charge either!”
"We charge only for caravans like yours.”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded after hearing this, but he immediately became angry again.
He glared at the stool and said,"You guys are picking fat pigs to slaughter!"”
At this moment,
Afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would lose his temper, Empress Ma and Zhu Biao also followed.
However, as soon as he arrived, he heard such a vulgar but reasonable metaphor.
In their eyes, the toll collector was still smiling politely as usual."That's what you mean, right?”
"You!"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't take it anymore!
This person was too polite, so polite that he wanted to flip the table.
However, the sharp-eyed toll collector would not give him the chance. He quickly explained again,"Old Master, don't be in a hurry to get angry. Listen to me.”
"If I'm wrong, you can tear down my toll management office.”
Immediately after, the toll collector began to speak eloquently,
"Do you know how many of these roads we have in Yanmen County?”
"Covering the entire county and leading directly to the workshops and factories in the towns and villages.”
"Not only does it avoid the fatigue of traveling, but it also reduces the maintenance of the carriage and the loss of horses.”
"Do you need money to repair the road?"
"Do you need someone to clean the horse manure? Is this money?”
"To be honest, my temper wasn't so good in the past. If it was in the past, I would have lost my temper long ago.”
"But our Lord Ye said that the service must be good, the explanation must be good, and you must have a kind of…"
The toll collector hurriedly stopped and almost said the truth of 'thank you for being scammed' out loud.
"I must make you feel at home," he quickly corrected himself.”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it made sense.
At this moment,
Empress Ma stepped forward and nodded.""Master, this young man makes sense!”
"This is also called taking from the people and using it for the people, isn't it?”
"Making a reasonable profit from the merchants and building such a good road will not only make it convenient for the merchants to purchase goods, but also make it convenient for the people to travel!”
Zhu Biao also smiled in satisfaction.”
Previously,
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he didn't think about it.
Now that he thought about it, that was indeed the case.
Sigh!
I'm convinced!
"Let's go and pay the fees!"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned as he spat out this sentence and took the lead to get into the carriage.
The toll collector looked at the well-dressed family who obediently paid the fees and smiled meaningfully.
"Line up at the back."
"Don't cut in line.”
“......”
The emperor's caravan, which was once again at the end of the queue, looked at the long queue and all the members frowned.
What was this?
Didn't you say you were going to argue?
Didn't they say that they would flip the table and directly reveal their identities to arrest people?
Just this?
He would come back and willingly queue up again to pay the fees!...
