Since ancient times, corrupt officials have been endless worms. They lie on the back of the imperial court and suck blood, making the powerful empire weaker and weaker until it perishes. The Ming Dynasty is no exception.
Even though Hongwu killed countless corrupt officials, there were still countless corrupt officials to kill.
The biggest disadvantage of using work-for-relief is that the emergence of corrupt officials will discount the money allocated by the court to the workers, creating a vicious circle. The government will allocate more and more money, but the food that falls into the hands of the workers will
But it became less and less, and eventually there was even a collapse and mutiny.
Beizhen Fusi was controlled by Zhu Gaojie, so when he proposed working for relief, the troublesome matter fell on him.
If things are done well, the people will be happy, the old man will be happy, the whole world will celebrate, and there will be a big reward, maybe the entire Jin Yiwei will be directly rewarded to Zhu Gaojie.
If things go wrong, then your game is over, Zhu Gaojie. At least the emperor will take back control of Beizhen Fusi, and at most... he won't cut it off directly, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for Zhu Gaojie to gain a foothold in the capital in the future. p>
The risks are high and the rewards are also high. This is a gamble.
Since ancient times, nine out of ten bets have resulted in losses, but Zhu Gaojie could only win this time, not lose.
"The volume of gold wears off one thousand four hundred percent every year, which is the so-called loss. Therefore, the 1.4 billion gold circulating in the world loses one million every year."
Zhu Gaojie said softly, "This million gold turned into flying dust, flying and floating, and turned into light atoms that can be inhaled and exhaled. This inhalant is like a heavy burden, pressing on everyone's conscience, and has a wonderful chemistry with the soul.
Homework makes the rich arrogant and the poor humble."
This sentence comes from the novel "The Man Who Laughs" published by French writer Victor Hugo in 1869.
Gold is a life-saving medicine that can bring people back to life, but it is also a deadly poison that can make people wander.
Zhu Gaojie took on the task of "monitor" during the Shandong floods, so he had to fight against corrupt officials. There was no sense of humanity in this fight. He wanted to "protect the gold", while the corrupt officials wanted to "take away the gold".
Therefore, the question raised by Lu Chaoyang is not valid. Zhu Gaojie cannot be afraid of offending some big shots. This time he will not only offend these corrupt officials, but also bury all their heads in the soil.
"Your Majesty, I am going to Shandong now. If I fail to come back, I pray that your Majesty will take care of this regrettable matter for me. In this way, I will be able to live without worries." Lu Chaoyang said firmly.
He couldn't understand what Prince Qi said, wear and tear, atoms, chemistry... He didn't understand anything at all, but he could understand "gold". He knew that gold is a good thing, and the more the better.
But he can be sure of one thing, that is, the prince is determined to fight the corrupt officials behind the Shandong floods to the end.
Zhu Di handed the matter over to Zhu Gaojie, who handed the matter over to Lu Chaoyang.
Lu Chaoyang is a fool. He has been a desperado since the decline of the Lu family. The prince has entrusted him with the task, and he will do it even if he sacrifices his life.
"I can't guarantee that you will come back safely after going to Shandong this time, but I can guarantee one thing." Zhu Gaojiao patted Lu Chaoyang on the shoulder and said, "That is, if you die in Shandong, I will save you for you."
The Jiang family is destroyed!"
Lu Chaoyang's concern is nothing more than the Jiang family.
Back then, the Jiang family caused the decline of the Lu family, and Lu Shouzhong died of depression. For so many years, it was hatred that supported Lu Chaoyang, a desperado, to live in the world and survive on the tragic battlefield.
"Your Majesty said that, I feel relieved." Lu Chaoyang grinned.
This is a promise from a man. Zhu Gaojiao promised to help Lu Chaoyang get rid of the regrets in his heart, and Lu Chaoyang promised to work hard for Zhu Gaojiao.
This time when he goes to Shandong, even if he loses his life, he must complete the errand entrusted to him by Zhu Gaojie!
……
After leaving Beizhen Fusi, Zhu Gaojie went to the palace and asked the emperor for his return.
The emperor entrusted him with such a big matter as the Shandong flood, so he had to give the old man an explanation.
In the Qianqing Palace, the atmosphere was warm and cozy. Zhu Di held a memorial in his hand and read through it.
He asked tiredly: "Do you really believe in Lu Chaoyang?"
Zhu Gaojie was wondering why the old man didn't mention the matter of taking care of the food today. When he heard this, he smiled and said: "Lv Chaoyang was born as a martial artist. In terms of talent, he is far inferior to Hanlin scholars. In terms of strategy, he is not as good as a general in the capital. But when it comes to doing things, he
He is the most capable person under my son."
This is a bit redundant. After all, Zhu Gaojie doesn’t have many people who can handle things. There are only two people, one is the personal bodyguard A Qi, and the other is the eagle Lu Chaoyang.
"Oh?" Zhu Di put down the memorial in his hand and became interested, "Lu Chaoyang is just the son of a run-down general, but you think so highly of him?"
"The son of a commander in the capital suddenly became a desperado on the battlefield. With such a huge gap, ordinary people would have collapsed long ago." Zhu Gaojie had a smile in his eyes, "But Lu Chaoyang survived, he
He survived in the most desperate vanguard camp of the Southern Expeditionary Army. He survived nine deaths and crawled out from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood every time. If so, it was nothing. But what sustained him was hatred and revenge.
Burned by his anger, he transformed from a young and energetic general disciple into a calm and cruel executioner."
Zhu Gaojie paused for a moment and continued: "People like Lu Chaoyang need to start where they need him most. I was the one who pulled him out of despair and turned him from a desperado into what he is now in Beizhen Fusi.
The governor of the Yamen gave him hope of revenge. I don’t know if Lu Chaoyang believes in gods and Buddhas, but I know that there is a god in his heart. This god is me. Believers are terrible, and they can often do something for them.
The god he believes in can do some incomprehensible things. But if the god the believer believes in becomes a human being, then he is the best butcher's knife. For the god in his heart, he will do whatever it takes."
"Lu Chaoyang is no longer a human being. He is an evil ghost crawling out of hell. In order to achieve his goal, he is willing to sacrifice everything, including his own life. Using evil ghosts to fight against people is the most effective method." p>
After listening to what Zhu Gaojie said, Zhu Di was silent for a while.
"Because of hatred, Lu Chaoyang will become the best butcher knife in your hand." Zhu Di asked, "But if the hatred disappears, after you wipe out the Jiang family for him, without the support of the flame of revenge, he will still
Will it be so useful? Will he become your abandoned son by then?"
"Why should I think about this?" Zhu Gaojie asked.
"What do you mean?" Zhu Di frowned slightly, a little confused.
Zhu Gaojie still had a smile on his face, but this smile was particularly cold: "I have no intention of revenge for Lu Chaoyang."
Zhu Di's pupils shrank, he didn't think about it at all!
Because Zhu Gaojie never thought of avenging Lu Chaoyang! All his promises to Lu Chaoyang were just deception!
He has just been using lies to control Lu Chaoyang and maintain this revenge. As long as the Jiang family exists, Lu Chaoyang will always be the butcher's knife in Zhu Gaojie's hands!
Lu Chaoyang respected Zhu Gaojie like a god and was even willing to sacrifice his life for the god. Little did he know that his god had been using and deceiving him!
