Good guy, my son has to scrape together money to get a wife.
Li Cunyi, a mere young minister from Dali Temple, built such a big house without batting an eye.
It really pisses me off!
The key is to find the culprit who caused the palace to collapse, so those officials can't use the topic to make him issue any criminal edicts.
Yes! We need to cure this evil trend of comparison, kill them as a warning to others, and punish those stupid officials who only spend money without caring about anything!
Lao Zhu glared at Li Cunyi fiercely.
Li Cunyi's sweat dripped from his head and fell to the ground, and he replied in a trembling voice: "I don't dare."
Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and said: "Call the commander of the army and horses in charge."
How could anyone else dare to neglect him? He immediately went to call the commanders in Dongcheng.
The people from the Li family here hurriedly moved chairs for Zhu Yuanzhang to sit down.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat down and found that Zhu Bai was still on the ground, and sighed: "Get up quickly, the ground is cold. You don't feel ashamed..."
Zhu Bai got up and stood next to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang hugged him and patted the dust on his body: "You ran around on the first day of the new year. Do you want to piss me off to death?"
Zhu Bai sighed secretly: On the first day of the new year, you are going to kill Liu Shengun to fill the pit, and there is nothing I can do.
Over there, the commander of the Dongcheng Army and Horse Department had already come in and knelt down behind Li Cunyi.
The commander is a middle-aged man with medium build, dark skin, honest face and ordinary facial features.
Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "Such a big hole was dug outside the palace wall, causing the East Palace to subside and the lake to dry up. How did you become the commander of the East City Army and Horses Division?! Is this what Lan Yu taught you?"
Zhu Bai was also a little confused: Wait a minute. Li Cunyi is digging a hole at home. What happened to the Guandong City Military and Horse Department?
The key point is that the commander of the Dongcheng Military and Horse Division is still Lan Yu's old department.
This time he really killed eight hundred enemies and lost one thousand.
All the commanders fell to the ground: "Back to the emperor, the Military and Horse Division only has the right to take care of street affairs..."
Li Cunyi shivered more and more, as if he had malaria.
Zhu Yuanzhang obviously wanted to pull down the commander, but ignored Li Cunyi at all. He just gritted his teeth and asked the commander: "There is so much mud piled at the door, didn't you see it?"
The commander finally understood Zhu Yuanzhang's intention and said: "I am guilty."
Zhu Yuanzhang then looked at Li Cunyi: "Tell me what I want to do with you."
Li Cunyi was so frightened that he could not even speak: "My lord, please fill in this lake right now."
Zhu Yuanzhang turned to Zhu Bai and asked: "What do you think?"
Zhu Bai snorted: "Of course he has to be asked to repair the cave that collapsed in the palace. There is also the lake. When the water dries up, there will definitely be a hole at the bottom of the lake, and he has to be responsible for filling it. You can ask him to provide the money, and the Ministry of Industry will do it.
."
Zhu Yuanzhang: "Yeah. There's more."
Zhu Bai didn't want to say any more and glanced at Zhu Biao: "I just know who dug the hole and who will fill it. I don't know anything else. I'm still a child."
Zhu Biao is the protagonist, especially when there are outsiders.
If he steals Zhu Biao's limelight too much, no matter how good-tempered Zhu Biao is, he will be wary of him from now on.
Zhu Yuanzhang could only ask Zhu Biao: "What does the prince think?"
Zhu Biao said: "This kind of thing will definitely happen again in the future. We must strictly order not to dig large holes or build high-rise buildings within ten feet of the palace wall, otherwise it will endanger the safety of the palace. If there are any construction projects, they must be reported to the Wucheng Military and Horse Department."
, if something happens in the future, it’s better to find the person responsible.”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and looked at Zhu Bai: "Do you have anything to add?"
Zhu Bai said: "No."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You must add more, otherwise I will make you kneel for an hour when you go back. Who wants you to run out of the palace without permission?"
Zhu Bai deliberately frowned as if thinking, and then said for a long time: "I was so anxious while riding my bicycle just now that I almost rushed into the mud pile on the roadside. Logically speaking, these things cannot be piled on the roadside."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled half-heartedly and looked at the commander of the Dongcheng Army and Horses Division: "Look, even a child knows something."
All the commanders nodded like crazy: "I am guilty, and I will obey the imperial edict."
Of course he knows! But he can't control it!
The current situation is that it is wrong for him to ignore it.
The key has not been solved yet, all we can do is knock out the teeth and swallow blood.
And it's not just him, all the five commanders of the Military and Horse Division are like this.
Zhu Bai tilted his head and asked Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, what rank is Mr. Li Cunyi?"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his chin at Li Cunyi: "You can speak for yourself."
Li Cunyi didn't know what this little overlord wanted to do, so he wiped his sweat and said: "I am a humble minister who is not talented, but I will receive a third-grade salary."
Zhu Bai looked at the commander again: "What rank is this commander in chief?"
The commander replied honestly: "Sixth grade."
Zhu Bai silently spread his hands to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately understood the mystery.
Li Cunyi has a relatively low official position in the community.
If you meet someone who is arrogant and domineering, if you don't let me pile mud at the door today, I will let you pile mud on the edge of the Great Wall tomorrow.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned thinking about this.
The Wucheng Military and Horse Division has a small official position with many troubles and miscellaneous tasks. He is responsible for keeping the streets clean in the capital, preventing fire and theft, and managing the market, such as inspecting market buckets and scales, checking the names of charlatans, and checking prices.
To put it mildly, even trivial matters in Yingtian City have something to do with the Bingma Division.
Speaking more broadly, the safety of Yingtian City depends entirely on whether the Army and Horses Department does a good job.
That's why Zhu Yuanzhang appointed a few people who had been with him for many years, whose military achievements were not outstanding, but who were knowledgeable, loyal and honest.
For example, Commander Cen Du in front of me is Lan Yu's in-law.
Even if Commander Cen is killed, there will still be no suitable person to replace him.
I can only forget it now.
Zhu Yuanzhang said to Cen Du: "You are lucky today. King Xiang will intercede for you, so I will not punish you. This is the only time you will be punished."
Commander Cen Du hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, King Xiang."
He always felt that it was a bit exaggerated when Mr. Lan said that King Xiang was young and looked naughty, but he was an extremely smart and experienced man.
But Zhu Bai saw his helplessness in just a short time, and reminded Zhu Yuanzhang in a few words.
Sure enough, he is not an ordinary child...
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Li Cunyi again: "You have one day to fill in the lake, clean up the mud at the door, and then go to the palace to fill in the holes in the lake and the prince's palace. You can fill it in person. How many days?
You can work for a few days to fill it up. If you can't fill it up in a lifetime, you can work for a lifetime."
Zhu Bai almost laughed out loud: It’s still old Zhu who is ruthless. I only said that Li Cunyi should provide the money, and Zhu Yuanzhang asked Li Cunyi to provide the coolies.
Originally, why would you dig a big hole at home if you have nothing to do? You just want to burn money!!
Zhu Yuanzhang walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
Zhu Bai glanced at Li Cunyi meaningfully, then followed Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It's not far anyway, so let's walk back slowly. It just so happens that I don't have much chance to come out and see the market outside. It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Don't make any noise."
Zhu Biao and the others hurriedly followed him. Erhu asked someone to push the bicycle to follow him.
Zhu Yuanzhang held Zhu Bai tightly with one hand and said to Zhu Biao on the way back: "This can't go on like this. Something big will happen one day. We need to appoint someone who can control all the civil and military officials in the court and take control of everyone."
Come and take charge of the Five Cities Military and Horse Department. Who do you think is the most suitable person in the court?"
Zhu Biao was a little embarrassed.
This is obviously a thankless job, and anyone he recommends is cheating others.
But as Lao Zhu said, it won’t work if we don’t find a powerful character.
The character who is too powerful is a bit overqualified, after all, the official position is only so big...
