Papa, the sound of templates slapping the flesh echoed in the square, which sounds very terrifying.

The punishment of court sticks has not been seen since ancient times. This is the punishment brought by the Hu people from the grassland. There was a saying that the punishment was not as good as the literati and the officials. It is logical that officials were spanked by the king's pants, and they were executed by the eunuchs, which was extremely shameful in their hearts.

The literati can be killed but not humiliated!

But to this day, it has gradually evolved into a kind of honor that expresses one's character.

Especially the officials in the Ming Dynasty liked to use court sticks to show their character, and they were unyielding and honest.

This behavior makes people laugh and cry. I don’t know if it is because these people who like to be beaten are really willing to use this humiliating method to awaken the right path in the world. Or they have been kneeling for a long time and take things that are obedient for granted.

Or, they are sensational!

The wooden boards crackled on the muscles with a strong sound of breaking through the air.

Under the eyes, several Qinggui officials in the Hanlin Academy who were beaten to the board were no longer looking disgusted, but everyone forced themselves to let out a scream. Some even used shouts instead of screaming.

Your Highness, Jiangnan is a place where the taxes are important in the Ming Dynasty, and the finance and taxation cannot be changed lightly!

Officials and gentry are the pillars of the country, and they are all favorable to all dynasties. Why does our dynasty impose taxes?

The world's literary style comes out of Jiangnan. Will Your Highness hurt the hearts of officials and gentry in Jiangnan?

They shouted loudly, waving their arms under the tremendous heights of the board.

The reason why they could still shout was that the prisoner was so arrogant that he had no intention of killing them. Therefore, the eunuchs who executed the execution used hollow wooden boards.

If you use solid things, not only will there be no such loud noise, but if you stick, you will be afraid that you will no longer have any breath.

Papa, papa!

Haha, what's going on? The old man walked closer and looked over there, as if he was watching the fun, and said, "It's so lively!"

Park Bucheng waved to the side, and a guard rushed over and whispered.

Then, Park Bushen whispered to the old man and told him the reason.

The old man looked at the beaten people and said, "I really think that our eldest grandson has a good temper!" These plague scholars!"

After hearing this word, Li Jinglong next to him laughed.

The word "Scholar of Plague" is used by the Huaixi nobles to scold those civil officials a few years ago. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the older generation of Huaixi nobles liked to report the civil officials in the ears of the old man. Your Majesty, the country was shot by His Majesty and his ministers, so Your Majesty should not listen to the instigation of those "Scholars of Plague" etc.

At this moment, Li Shen, who was beaten, suddenly shouted again.

A man who has a stake is equivalent to a clever robbery. Why is it a harsh Ming Dynasty ruthless official and gentleman? Isn’t your highness afraid, leaving a terrifying reputation among the people?

Officials and gentry collect food together and work together will damage the country's foundation, which is tantamount to killing chickens and getting eggs!

The old man's little face suddenly changed and he snorted coldly, Humph, it's quite sarcastic, but he still beat him lightly!

Upon hearing this, Park Bushen walked over there and was sentenced to the prisoner's shame.

Manager Park! The turtle did not dare to neglect, so he quickly saluteed.

Don't, the emperor is watching over there. What's the point of giving salutes to the miscellaneous families? Park Bucheng smiled and said as he looked at the execution side. These plague scholars thought that they were the most famous sayings in the world!

The turtle was weighed for a long time and didn't understand what this meant.

Park Bushen continued to smile, but he was still too excited to play, and he still had the strength to shout! After that, he walked back without looking back.

The turtle looked over and saw the old man standing under the shade of the tree in the distance, and suddenly realized.

With a swish, the toes separated out.

The eunuchs who were executing the execution suddenly heard it and then changed the board silently.

I whined twice, only half of the screams were heard, ah!

Li Shen, who was lying on the bench, shook his body on the spot, and there was no sound.

These two moves are almost the same! The old man nodded with a calm face.

Li Jinglong next to him was silent, and his cold sweat fell down the back of his neck.

The emperor's temper became more and more strange! Li Jinglong thought to himself that he had many scepters in the court before, but he had never heard of anyone who beat him to death. But now, the emperor will not give up until he beat him to death!

Thinking in my heart, my eyes suddenly fell behind me, and I exclaimed again, it was broken!

King Wu Liujin was riding a pony and looked at the other side of the court stick curiously.

How can a child see such a bloody thing? Li Jinglong said in his heart, subconsciously blocking Liujin's view.

Don't block it, let him see! The old man suddenly spoke, and Li Jinglong didn't move.

Then, the old man slowly turned around and said with a smile, Liujin, telling the ancestor, are you afraid?

Liu Jin shook his head and pointed his chubby fingers at the other side of the court stick. What are you doing there?

They angered you and were being beaten! The old man smiled.

Why did you beat them up? Liujin continued to ask in confusion.

The old man was stunned and thought about it formally. If he was disobedient, he would be beaten! As he said that, he continued to laugh, "When anyone provoked you in the future, you will beat him!"

My mother said, "It's not good to hit someone!" Liujin lowered his head and ate his fingers.

The old man reached out to pull out the great-grandson's little hand, wiped his saliva and said, "This is wrong. You can't beat people around, but whoever makes you unhappy and who doesn't listen to you, you will beat them, otherwise he will not be afraid!"

Liujin seemed to understand but nodded, and nodded ignorantly.

After the court poker was finished, several unlucky guys who were beaten were dragged out of the palace by the eunuchs. Then someone came over with buckets, mops and other items to wash the blood on the ground.

The old man held Liujin and sat under the shade of a big tree. The grandparents and grandchildren talked and laughed, as if nothing had happened here.

Suddenly, there was a flutter in the distance and someone ran over.

Liu Jin twisted in the old man's arms and shouted vaguely at the person running over there, Mei Jingxin!

Mei Lianxin, who was running, was mixing garlic under her feet, and almost ate a dog directly, and then crawled over with his hands and feet.

Why are you panic? The dog chases you? The old man said angrily.

Emperor! Mei Lian was sweating profusely, and the virtuous concubine...

What's wrong with the fat girl? The old man stood up with a terrifying expression.

The Empress was born prematurely, and the Crown Princess asked her servant to notify His Highness!

~~~

In Lezhizhai, the king and his subjects are still talking.

Fu Youwen, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, held the document files in his hand and spoke happily. This year, we will be able to have a prosperous New Year!

Customs from all over the country submitted a statement, and Ningbo Customs' annual balance of cash was 1.8 million!

Quanzhou Customs, 4.76 million!

Guangzhou Customs, 4.82 million!

After hearing this number, Zhu Yunxiu just nodded, even a little dissatisfied. That's all?

Your Highness, there are quite a lot! Fu Youwen quickly said, these are all cash silver, if they are cast into silver dollars, they can still be more than 30% more!

As he said that, he paused and continued, among the customs, Guangzhou has the best momentum. I have estimated that at this time next year, Guanyin will be at least 40% more!

Guangzhou has been a trading port since ancient times, and there is a place that cannot be compared with other harbors, that is, it is built in Guangzhou.

It is said that Jingdezhen's porcelain is good, but most of the porcelain in Jingdezhen is official kilns and is not exported. However, Guangzhou porcelain in Guangzhou has brilliant colors and is known as the Guang Sancai.

The lines are drawn, colored, weaving gold, filling green, doucai, wrapping gold mouths, and burning flowers. They can also draw various flower and bird patterns, and even make corresponding styles and styles of exported porcelain based on the descriptions of customers thousands of miles away, and the supply is in short supply.

In addition to porcelain, merchants in Guangzhou transported solid white cloth from Suzhou and Hangzhou to make wall cloth, colored cloth, etc. and sold it to ocean merchants.

There are still fewer customs to open a port! Zhu Yunxiu said, if you open a few more ports, all the money in the world will flow into my Ming Dynasty!

This is natural! Among the ministers, Liu Sanwu said, "Ming is the center of the world!"

These words caused the ministers to nod and agree.

Zhu Yunqiu refused to comment on this statement. These people's deep-rooted views on the Celestial Kingdom cannot be corrected in a short period of time.

But then again, just by saying this era, what people are saying is correct.

I think there should be no more harbors, but they should be expanded! Fu Youwen continued to say that at the beginning of this spring, outside the Huangpu Port in Guangzhou, the fire caused by crowded sea boats and improper operation of sailors. More than 40 ships were burned and the cargo was lost to hundreds of thousands!
