Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, the two coachmen suddenly became excited.
"Brother, let me tell you, this traffic agent is completely different from the ones we used to know."
Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be curious and asked: "Oh? What's different?"
The coachman seemed to be afraid that his words would not be convincing, so he danced for a while: "In the past, those police officers worked for those officials, and they were indifferent to us ordinary people."
"Normally, if they don't take the card, they will burn high incense. The people above are urging them to handle the case, so they reluctantly move."
"It's extremely difficult to get them to do something for us people. It doesn't matter if they don't even talk about it."
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was completely interested: "Can this traffic police officer still do things for ordinary people like us?"
When she heard Zhu Yuanzhang swear that he was a commoner, Empress Ma couldn't help but give him a big roll of her eyes.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned slightly red and he cleared his throat subconsciously.
The coachman didn't notice this, and slapped his thigh fiercely: "Don't tell me, this is really what happened."
Another driver, as if he was afraid that he would be speechless, hurriedly added: "His Royal Highness the King of England said so when this traffic police brigade was originally formed."
"Our yamen is different from ordinary yamen. It specializes in doing things for us ordinary people."
"But at that time, few people took His Royal Highness's words seriously."
"Who doesn't know what kind of virtue these officials are? They can do things for us people unless the sun rises in the west."
"But what happened? His Royal Highness actually took what he said seriously."
The previous coachman looked like someone who had been there before: "Why don't you people even believe what His Royal Highness says?"
"Just tell me, how much has changed in the lives of us people since His Royal Highness came to Yanjing?"
"In the past, I worked very hard for a year and only earned a dozen taels of silver. How is it like now?"
The coachman who was being talked about said with a smile: "Aren't we afraid of being bullied by those officials in the past?"
"Who would have thought that people from the government would really be able to serve us people."
"This is all thanks to His Royal Highness, otherwise this Yamen would not have appeared at all."
"His Majesty is also wise enough to allow His Majesty the King of England to do this. We are in good times."
"I endured so much hardship when I was in Yuan Dynasty. At that time, I never expected that I would be able to live like this."
Seeing the two coachmen talking to each other, they started to behave in a strange way again.
Although his words were full of respect for him as the emperor.
However, what Lao Zhu wants to know more now is what is going on with the traffic police brigade in Yanjing.
This was the first time he had heard that the yamen in the imperial court could have such a good reputation.
He just wanted to know what was going on here.
"Both brothers, why do you admire this traffic brigade so much? Judging from the name of this yamen, they are only in charge of road matters, so they shouldn't be able to do much, right?"
The voices of the two coachmen rose at the same time.
"Brother, you came at the right time. When you stay in Yanjing City for a while, you will know what is going on."
Another driver's face was full of emotion: "If you want to say that this traffic police brigade has done something that benefits the country and the people, it's not that exaggerated."
The driver next to him immediately added: "The reason why we think they did a good job is that the most important thing is that they did their part well."
Zhu Yuanzhang's interest became more and more intense: "Just do your job well?"
The two coachmen nodded repeatedly.
"It's very difficult to do this."
"I'm not saying that, as far as this is concerned, our imperial yamen can't do much."
"Although our Ming Dynasty is much better than when the Tatars ruled, the government's yamen is actually only as good as it is."
"Just like this road problem."
“In the past, those yamen spent most of their time setting up cards and collecting cash.”
"This man is right. They don't care about anything except collecting money. Some conscientious officials will spend some money to repair the roads, but they don't care about anything else."
Even Zhu Yuanzhang frowned deeply when he heard these words.
It's not because I think those yamen in the past were irresponsible.
What he is really curious about is, even from his perspective, it has only reached this level, right?
It is true that roads are important, but to put it bluntly, they are just a place for cars, horses and pedestrians to walk.
Lao Zhu really didn't understand how much a temporary government office established to manage highways could do.
Zhu Yuanzhang's probing eyes completely aroused the two coachmen's desire for expression.
The driver on the left had a dark face and a smile like a chrysanthemum: "Brother, you don't know this, right? There are a lot of doorways on this road."
If you just look at his current appearance, it will make people feel that he understands what's going on here.
However, in fact, this guy was even more confused than Zhu Yuanzhang when he encountered the traffic police team the first few times.
Zhu Yuanzhang is so depressed. If you have anything to say, can't you say it quickly?
If a guy like this was in the court, Zhu Yuanzhang would have had him dragged out and beheaded.
But now, as Lao Zhu, he is just an ordinary person who comes to make a living with his eyes.
Then he said patiently: "Please tell me in detail."
The driver on the right pointed to the flat ground and said, "Our road in Yanjing is different from other places. You should be able to tell, right?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded calmly: "I heard this is called a cement road."
This thing is not a strange thing to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Han had already made it, and Yingtian Mansion had used it a long time ago.
That is to say, the people here in Yanjing still treat the cement as some kind of rare treasure.
"Brother, tell me, if there is no one to maintain such a good road, won't it be long before problems arise on this road?"
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes angrily, wondering why the two coachmen were treating him like a fool.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unhappy, the two coachmen smiled evilly and started to persuade him.
"Brother, don't worry, don't we have to talk about things one by one?"
"That's right, we don't have long mouths, so we can explain everything clearly at once."
Looking at their silly smiles, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that these two guys definitely did it on purpose.
Oh shit.
His Majesty, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, expelled the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty from the land of China and completely destroyed it.
He is able to face countless powerful people with ease.
He was deceived by two coachmen and lost his way.
At this time, the whole team moved forward for a while.
But just like before, I didn't go out for long and soon stopped again.
Because they had not gone far, the two coachmen just now were still on Zhu Yuanzhang's left and right.
The driver on the left sighed with emotion: "This traffic brigade is not only repairing bridges and roads."
"If our car breaks down on the roadside and they happen to have nothing to do, those people will help us repair the car."
The driver on the right immediately added: "Speaking of this, I have experienced it myself. Just five days ago, I was driving a carriage to deliver goods to people. As a result, I loaded too much cargo and accidentally broke the axle.
.”
"There were a lot of people stuck in the traffic jam at that time. Later, people from the Traffic Police Brigade came and personally helped me move the car. I thought it was over. After causing such a big mess, those officials would definitely not let me go easily.
Pass me."
"Guess what? Those people scolded me and told me to be careful not to overload in the future."
"But their people finally helped me repair the car so that I could continue to transport goods."
"In the end, they just charged me a cost price." As he said that, the coachman patted the carriage under his butt.
"With the problem with my car, if I want to replace the axle, the price is only 30% less than the traffic police team."
When the driver on the left heard this, he immediately said angrily: "So it was you who blocked the road that day. Do you know that just because of that, I almost delayed the delivery time?"
The driver on the right quickly clasped his fists and apologized: "Brother, I'm really sorry, and I don't want that to happen."
Zhu Yuanzhang quickly interrupted the two men: "If you put it that way, this traffic police brigade is pretty good."
There is something in Zhu Yuanzhang's words, and it is clearly yin and yang. If it can only be done to this extent, this traffic police brigade is nothing more than that.
When the two coachmen heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, they felt as if they had been insulted.
Immediately he began to distinguish anxiously: "Of course it's more than that. Brother, you don't know how powerful this traffic police brigade is."
Another driver also added: "The traffic police brigade does a lot of things."
"If something happens on the road, as long as you find them, they will come to help soon. Some of them only charge a cost fee. If there is no consumption, they will not even charge at all."
The driver on the other side of Zhu Yuanzhang immediately added: "Not only that, if something happens on the road, such as theft, or a car crash, the people from the traffic police brigade will also be responsible for catching the thief and regulating it."
"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang felt a slight chill in his heart, and then said calmly: "It seems a little inappropriate to do this, right? This is not what the county officials do."
"Is this traffic police brigade a bit overreaching?"
When the two coachmen heard this, they laughed almost at the same time.
Their laughter made Zhu Yuanzhang laugh inexplicably.
"Isn't what I said right?"
Both drivers shook their heads.
"Brother, you don't understand."
"The Traffic Police Brigade, absolutely nothing like what you mentioned happened."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly: "Aren't they all judging cases for the government and catching thieves?"
These two coachmen spoke for the traffic police brigade in such a way that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but wonder if they had received any benefits, so they spoke for the traffic police brigade.
But this made Zhu Yuanzhang a little strange.
Unless the traffic police brigade knew his identity and specially hired two people to act.
Otherwise, they can't possibly buy everyone, right?
This kind of thing is impossible even if you think about it.
Could it be that his identity was exposed?
The most important thing is, if these two drivers were not bribed, why were they so familiar with this traffic police brigade?
These people are the lowest class of people.
Where do I have the time and opportunity to understand what a yamen can really do?
Not to mention ordinary people in those places, even people in the capital have gone to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites to sue officials of the Ministry of Punishments.
"Both brothers, why are you so familiar with the affairs of this yamen? It could be that there are relatives in it."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his tone of voice.
Anyone who is familiar with Zhu Yuanzhang will understand that he was truly angry.
If the following dialogue does not satisfy him, Zhu Yuanzhang will kill someone.
The two coachmen didn't know Zhu Yuanzhang, so of course they didn't understand the meaning.
It's just that they both shivered one after another, and they both felt cold for some reason.
Moreover, the kind-looking old man next to him suddenly seemed to be very dangerous.
It was as if there was a beast ready to rush out from his body at any time.
Gulu!
A driver swallowed hard: "Brother, it's not just us, there are few people in the entire Yanjing city who don't know about these things."
When he founded this yamen, His Royal Highness said: "This yamen is to serve our people. Therefore, we common people should know what the people in this yamen can and cannot do."
"You will know once you enter the city. Every day, there are people at the teahouse, explaining to the people what the traffic police brigade does and what they are responsible for."
Another driver also explained with some fear: "Besides, what the traffic police brigade does is indeed different from what the government does."
"Just like a car crash or something, when people from the traffic police team come over, they are not trying to decide who is right and who is wrong."
"What they are responsible for is just to help the two parties coordinate and see if everyone can sit down and have a good talk to resolve the matter."
Another person also said: "The same goes for catching thieves. The traffic police brigade is only responsible for arresting them. Once caught, they still have to be turned over and sent to the government."
After hearing what they said, Zhu Yuanzhang's complexion finally improved a lot.
In any case, although this traffic police brigade is a new yamen, it has not affected the old yamen yet.
The two coachmen were originally very interested in chatting, but after being frightened by Zhu Yuanzhang, they suddenly became more honest and did not dare to say anything more.
It was at this time that the road ahead seemed to finally be clear.
The jam-packed carriages and horses began to move forward slowly.
"Brother, I want to deliver something, so I'll go ahead and drive!"
The coachman lightly slapped his buttocks with his riding crop.
The carriage quickly accelerated and slowly disappeared from Zhu Yuanzhang's sight.
