Facing Chen Youliang's golden bed, Lao Zhu was stunned. Can this thing be comfortable to sleep on? The length and width are more than one foot, and then there are golden dragons and pillars at the four corners. There are many jewels embedded in the dragon's body.
Pearls, there are luminous pearls... Is this thing meant for sleeping? Won't you have nightmares if you lie on it?
Lao Zhu sighed slightly and said: "With this kind of luxury, how can we avoid the country's destruction?"
After finishing speaking, Lao Zhu raised his head and asked: "Have there been any kings like this in the past?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Furen hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Meng Chang, the Emperor of Later Shu, once used seven treasures as a chamber pot."
"Qibao?" Lao Zhu frowned.
Luo Fulen said: "Indeed, this chamber pot is made of agate, jade, jewelry, gold, luminous pearls, silver, colored glaze and other materials. It shines brightly during the day, and it is extremely rare to shine at night. After the fall of Shu, someone dedicated this thing to
Zhao Kuangyin."
"Then how did Zhao Kuangyin do it?"
"Smash to pieces the belongings of the people who have subjugated their country."
Lao Zhu sighed repeatedly and nodded in admiration, "So Zhao Kuangyin is not confused. Although gold and jade are expensive, they are not enough to decorate an emperor... Luo Xueshi, why do you think you are worthy of our status as emperor?"
Luo Furen pondered for a moment, looked both ways, and suddenly felt blessed, "As you say, your majesty, all the sages under the command of the emperor of tomorrow have gathered together, and there are many capable civil and military ministers... such as Prime Minister Zhang, Zhu Shengzheng, Xu Da, the Duke of Xinguo, etc."
The Governor-General is always in love with spring. Only such a civilized and virtuous minister is worthy of the majesty of the Emperor!"
Lao Zhu was dazed for a moment, then he laughed up to the sky, his voice was hearty and cheerful, and he actually clapped his hands and said: "Well said, as an emperor, gold and jade are just common things that are easily available. Only virtuous ministers and warriors are the emperor's closest minions and minions.
It is a national treasure. Mr. Luo, if you have such insight, it seems that you are also a virtuous minister and a famous person, and a national treasure!"
Luo Furen was trembling all over. How could he be so virtuous and capable? He had just surrendered, but he could be so valued. He couldn't help but fall to the ground and kowtow.
"Your Majesty, I would like to boldly request your Majesty to fill the land of Huguang with the people of Jiangxi. In this way, the people of Jiangxi can get land, and Huguang can get people. The two places can exchange what they have, learn from each other's strengths, and regain their strength in just a few years.
, prospered. With the land of two provinces as the foundation, my Ming Dynasty’s Northern Expedition reversed the Yuan Dynasty and unified the country, which is just around the corner!”
Luo Furen added: "I have already drawn up an immigration strategy...I think we will move the big households first. If the wealthy businessmen and big households in the village are all in the same village, and they all have the same surname, half of them should be moved out. And the scholars from all over the country should also be moved out.
To move out. To move out ten ordinary people, one scholar must be moved there, and the rest of the craftsmen and doctors must also be moved there, not just farmers.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment and whispered: "Why?"
"Your Majesty, all industries in the countryside are prosperous, and there are many customs and rules that continue to this day. If you just move to ordinary farmers who only know how to farm, there will be many inconveniences. Moreover, without scholars, it will be inconvenient to carry out education. Only
By moving everyone together, we can quickly adapt, gain access to both the good and the bad, and prosper together with all kinds of industries."
Luo Furen's reasoning was not fully explained even to Zhang Ximeng. The truth was not complicated. There were really too many people who would be offended by doing so.
Not only did the wealthy families move here, but also the scholars and all kinds of industries moved here...especially those scholars who mastered the pen, which would make Luo Fulen infamy for thousands of years and never turn around.
It’s just that Zhu Yuanzhang’s words are too good. The emperor treats me as a national scholar, how can I live up to his divine grace?
Lao Zhu had a smile on his face, naturally very happy. He turned around and said: "Mr. Zhang, the emperor deserves a good minister. I don't know what you think makes a good minister worthy of you?"
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "Civil ministers are worthy of virtue, military generals are worthy of merit, and the sage is worthy of the sun and moon. He can sit on the four seas and unify the nine states... It's just a Duwu, it doesn't matter!"
Lao Zhu pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "Sir, you are really wise. In this case, why don't you melt this thing for us and leave it here to hinder our eyes?"
After hearing the previous words, the civil and military ministers were already excited and fell to the ground. Seeing Lao Zhu say this, they couldn't wait to take action.
At this time, Zhang Ximeng suddenly said: "My lord, since Luo Xueshi has mentioned the matter of immigration, I boldly advise you that immigration cannot be separated from money. What Chen Youliang is plundering is all the people's fat and the people's anointing... We might as well prepare to build a Baochao Bureau branch here.
The gold and silver seized were used as guarantees and treasure banknotes were issued. In this way, it can be regarded as taking from the people and using them for the people. Return the people's fat and people's anointing that Chen Youliang looted to the people."
Lao Zhu thought for a moment and couldn't help but laugh: "Sir's ingenuity really impressed us, so we did it!"
Following Zhu Yuanzhang's will, the first step towards restoring people's livelihood in Huguang was finally taken.
I immigrated from Jiangxi and had financial support.
Luo Furen's face was filled with a confident smile. Even if he had to be poked in the spine by people from his hometown and cursed by literati, he was fearless.
The emperor needs to unify the nine states, establish supreme merits, and write his name in the annals of history and in people's hearts. Is this not the case for civil servants and military generals?
There are not many opportunities to be able to do things and accomplish things.
Luo Furen wished he could sell his life to Lao Zhu immediately, so that he would no longer have the psychological burden of betraying his master. After all, he was only betraying his master, while Chen Youliang was a solid master-devourer!
Just as Luo Furen was sighing, someone suddenly arrived and escorted several prisoners, including adults and children.
"Sir, these are Chen Youliang's two younger brothers and his two sons."
Zhu Yuanzhang took a look, and he couldn't be sure whether it was true, but it didn't matter, didn't he still have Chen Youliang's father Chen Pucai here?
Not long after, the old man was invited over. He took a look and burst into tears. Chen Youzhi and Chen Youdang were also trembling all over, and their jaws dropped in shock.
"father!"
The old man suddenly sneered and gritted his teeth, rushed over, slapped the two traitors hard.
"Beasts, I told you not to do immoral things, but you didn't listen! You must join that bastard and destroy your family and your descendants!"
Chen Pucai was heartbroken, yelled, slapped and fisted his two sons, and they didn't even dare to hide, so they could only stand hard. Gu Huang
Chen Shan and Chen Li were also panicking at this moment. The two children actually hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Chen Pucai saw this scene and actually fell to the ground. The five grandfathers and grandsons hugged each other and burst into tears.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw this and suddenly sighed, "Biao'er is about the same age as them!"
When Zhang Ximeng heard this, he understood what Lao Zhu meant and said with a smile: "My lord, Zhang Dingbian is fighting well over there in Goryeo. Why don't we send these two children and their whole family to Goryeo!"
Leave it to Zhang Dingbian to take care of."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, indicating that he approved the plan.
Chen Pucai immediately grabbed his two grandsons, threw them down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and kowtowed, "Thank you for your kindness. The common people are willing to go to Goryeo. The common people will definitely warn their descendants to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and to be the people of China from generation to generation."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and didn't care about anything.
Chen Youliang is not his opponent, let alone these old ones, young ones... Letting them go is more because of Lao Zhu's attitude. Even the Chen family can be spared, let alone others.
It is better not to resist stubbornly and surrender early, so that the world will be at peace.
Of course, not everyone can be forgiven, such as Zheng Shili.
His brother Zheng Shiyuan had been executed by Lao Zhu because of the empty seal case, and his two adult nephews were not spared. Zheng Shili then fled to Chen Youliang, but he did not expect that Chen Youliang would collapse and disappear so quickly.
Several Ming soldiers escorted Zheng Shili, half of his face bruised, to Lao Zhu.
Facing this person, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even bother to look at him.
"Pull down and kill!"
Zheng Shili was dragged away, and in an instant, a bloody head was hanging on the flagpole.
More and more battle results are coming. Most of Chen Youliang's more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the city have surrendered. Less than 10,000 soldiers and horses still resisted, and they have basically been wiped out.
Chen Youliang's two sons were also captured, and other important figures were also arrested one after another... except Chen Youliang, there was no trace.
Chang Yuchun was now extremely anxious. He wanted to capture Chen Youliang and make a great contribution...but he entered the palace and only found a golden bed.
After chasing him around, I found a man wearing a dragon robe, but after catching him, it was obvious that something was wrong with his appearance.
This is so depressing. Chen Youliang actually ran away?
Don’t you encourage others to be benevolent?
Why don't you want it when it comes to you?
Despicable and shameless!
How shameless!
Chang Yuchun cursed loudly, but to no avail, so he could only give orders and search everywhere.
In the huge city of Wuchang, it is really not easy to find someone.
The soldiers searched around and found Rouge Lane... You must know that under the Ming Dynasty, Yangzhou, Jinling, and Hangzhou, which were the first-class prosperous places in the past, no longer had brothels on the surface.
For Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Ximeng, they may not be able to control it for that long, but at least while they can still control it, they must have a clean and innocent world.
In fact, it is not that difficult... When the land is completely equalized, everyone will have an industry, and everyone can make a living by farming, so there is no need to look down upon oneself.
Therefore, many Ming soldiers have never seen this at all.
The girls were so frightened that they would be robbed if the soldiers acted recklessly. The Ming army was also worried about violating military regulations and quickly withdrew.
Good guy, I'm scared of a hemp pole beating a wolf at both ends.
When the news reached Chang Yuchun's ears, he was afraid that something would go wrong, so he sent people over to protect this area.
Some grains, rice and vegetables were even delivered.
Two hours later, Chang Yuchun, who was still looking for Chen Youliang, suddenly received the news that Chen Youliang had been arrested!
Chang Yuchun was immediately overjoyed and hurried to take a look. A carriage from a brothel, a few helping boys, and about a dozen girls ran over in a panic.
Just inside the carriage, tied up was a man dressed in women's clothing, who turned out to be Chen Youliang!
"Hahahaha!" Chang Yuchun almost laughed out loud when he saw this scene, "Chen Youliang, you have always called people Chengren, how come you have become a woman?"
