Chapter 267 The Great Ming Dynasty

Ma Cheng bowed respectfully to the ground: "Ma Cheng, the fifth son of Kaiyuan Bo, pay homage to his wife."

The Duke's wife should be reasonable when she does not mention her official positions and only pays homage to the nobles and takes the initiative to release some kindness.

The noble lady greeted the people with a smile: "Your family, you don't have to be polite, and Wenjue won't welcome guests."

The middle-aged man hurriedly ordered his servants to settle the guests' bags of luggage and carriages. The Duke of Wei was also active and there was a martial arts showground among everyone, so it was easy to stay for a few people. After a greeting, the horse city attracted Liu.

The two daughters of Wang and Fang Shihong each performed their junior tribute. The atmosphere suddenly changed and they were harmonious. They didn't hit the smiley person. The Duke's wife was so generous that she could tell at a glance that she was a noble descendant of a famous family.

Settling down in the guest house, taking a shower, the Duke's Mansion is already arranging a dust banquet.

When he entered the room, Ma Chengfang shouted, "It's so sour, so sour, so numb."

The two women's slender waists were squinting over, one with four small hands on the left and the right, and they massaged their shoulders with their eyes. They looked at each other and smiled. They were shiny. They probably thought it was ridiculous and they really moved into the Duke's Mansion. They wanted to fight and kill them just now.

, In a blink of an eye, there was a turmoil, and this was the impermanence of the world.

Fang Shihong was also confused and said angrily: "Is this OK?"

Ma Cheng ridiculed: "You are so uncomfortable if you are envious, jealous and hateful?"

Fang Shihong rolled his eyes and shook the folding fan. He went back to the room to take a shower and change his clothes. There were only one man and two women left in the room and they became ambiguous. After a moment, the servant brought a bathtub, soap box, incense, and everything for bathing.

Wang Yue's pretty face turned red and she ran away in panic. Ma Cheng didn't hold her back and let her run away. He regretted it, but Liu Zihua pinched her hard and screamed in pain.

The fog in the guest house was hazy, and the two of them took a shower before they could eat, sitting in hot water and eating some fruits.

Liu Zihua pushed away his insincere hands and whispered: "This Duke's wife is named Mu, Cheng Lang must understand."

Ma Cheng suddenly realized that it is no wonder that the daughter married to Duke Mu of Yunnan is so strong. The relationship between Xu and Mu families has been extremely close for generations, so it is not surprising that Duke Guo is afraid of his family. Unless it is the wife married to Duke Mu of Yunnan, change to another one.

The women from small families did not dare to let the prince be defeated, and they were amazed.

Liu Zihua complained while giving a look: "No one is as scoundrel as you. Even my sister has become a villain, it makes no sense."

Ma Cheng just smiled and thought to himself that the nobles of the Ming Dynasty were originally a family, you don’t understand.

Duke's Mansion, Duke's House.

Xu Hongji changed into regular clothes and sat in the main seat, still waving his beard and staring at him, gasping for breath, but his wife was staring at her with her eyebrows standing upside down, and she didn't dare to have an attack.

Mrs. Mu gritted her teeth and said, "As soon as the child came to Nanjing, I thought of Xu's mansion. The son of Kaiyuan Bo's family is an outsider. You are really confused!"

Xu Hongji didn't dare to have an attack but just sulked, so the younger generations could only listen obediently.

Ma Cheng smiled, the legitimate daughter of Mu Mansion in Yunnan could see clearly than the Duke of the State. The general trend of the world, the great opportunity for the Ming Dynasty to turn over. The nobles of the capital have already come into a group and come out one after another, rectify the Beijing camp and train the new army.

, and still strive to gain the right to speak in the court, but this old and confused Duke still can't see clearly. Some people become smarter the more they live, while others become more confused the older they are. This is also far away from the Duke of Wei's mansion in Nanjing.

The center has a lot to do.

There are inevitably those who cannot see the general trend of the world clearly, and will inevitably be marginalized and depressed in the future. Looking at Mrs. Mu with her eyebrows raised, her heart moved. Mrs. Mu's attitude should represent the attitude of Duke Mu of Yunnan, which is the honorary noble.

The benefits of marriage are that the two families always have well-informed and intelligent people who can remind each other of their mistakes.

Sure enough, Mrs. Mu ignored the confused old man and said with a gentle voice: "If you have time in the future, Xiao Wuer can go to Yunnan. The way of treating guests in the Mu family is not like that of his Xu family, so she will drive the distinguished guests outside."

Ma Cheng said seriously: "We must have to visit us."

Mrs. Mu replied to the wedding to entertain guests for dinner. The legitimate daughter of the Duke's family has been the Duke's wife for decades. The Daoke was very thoughtful. She also said a few polite words to Fang Shihong. Even the two daughters of King Liu took care of each other.

He was so kind to the home. Ma Cheng sighed. He thought that the great men of Chengzu were so friendly. The nobles in the world were all family, and they were holding each other in a group to take care of each other, which made Emperor Yongle achieve great martial arts.

However, after Tumu Fortress, the nobles declined and could only be human with their tails.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, Li Chengqi, the Marquis of Fengcheng, who was the most powerful, jumping up and down in the Tianqi Dynasty, was a certain eunuch party leader. He ranked very high, and was the last struggle of the great Ming Dynasty. It can be seen that the history of the Ming Dynasty was absurd, and the dignified Marquis of Fengcheng.

Can it be considered a eunuch party by taking charge of the Shenji Camp? The great Ming Dynasty was slandered so worthless and frustrated. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty did not subscribe the British Duke and Cheng Guogong to the eunuch party, otherwise it would be a great man.

It's a joke.

Wei Zhongxian could command the Marquis of Fengcheng, and his divine magic camp was able to adjust, making people laugh so hard that his mouth was crooked.

After the dust feast, the group settled in the Duke's Mansion and the storm subsided.

A secret message from Macheng was also issued at the right time. Duke of Wei was after all, he was devoted to the Ming Dynasty and the emperor. The matter of increasing commercial tax in Nanjing can be put on the agenda. The fifteenth tax is not an excessive amount. The fifteenth tax is still tenth tax.

It is not important. Ma Cheng has personally investigated it. What is important is whether it can be implemented. A juren will be exempted from taxes when sitting on a boat. He has never seen such a funny tax law in history. It is time for the change of tax law.

Of course, merchants have troubles. Tax collectors are arrogant and illegal, and they should be punished. They cannot kill all those who do small businesses. This is a reform and should be carefully planned and implemented. After thinking about it, Ma Cheng recommended the governor of Denglai Yuan Keli and Yuan

The Duke entered the court to preside over the reform. This was also the first time that Ma Cheng recommended talents to participate in the government affairs. Yuan Keli was an active reformist, had rich experience and sufficient qualifications as a civil affairs official, so the emperor should have considered it seriously.

Ma Cheng’s goal is to let Mr. Yuan enter the cabinet, and at least he must control the Ministry of Revenue, that’s all.

Over the past few days, Xu Hongji's attitude gradually loosened. He should have been in contact with the Mu Mansion in Yunnan, and sooner or later he would see the general trend.

Ma Cheng simply wandered around Nanjing City with Fang Shihong and his youngest prince Xu Wenjue every day. He went there ten miles of Qinhuai to see the wind and moon in the south of the Yangtze River. However, Qinhuai's double beauty has been with him, and Ma Cheng lacks interest.

I was thinking all day long about how to eat the delicious beauty sent to my mouth in one bite. In addition, there was another important thing, to visit Sun Yuanhua, the firearm madman of the Ming Dynasty.

Sun Yuanhua and Xu Guangqi are masters and apprentices. Xu Guangqi is now idle in Tianjin, but Sun Yuanhua is in Jiading right in front of him.

This person passed the exam in the forty years of Wanli, but failed to get the Jinshi three times. If he didn't get the Jinshi exam, he would have only ambitions and could only be idle at home.

At the end of summer, Jiading.

The carriage left the official road and walked west for about six or seven miles. The coachman raised his whip and pointed at a small hill not far away and said, "There is Master Sun's farm at the foot of the mountain. Master Sun is farming in Jiading, planting southern rice and various herbs,
