Zhu Laosi sat on the ground regardless of his image, and then pulled more than a hundred old farmers to chat with him. There were hundreds of civil servants, generals and nobles who were above the fifth rank and above qualified to attend the court meeting. The scene was a bit strange and indescribable.

These old farmers gradually got used to Zhu Laosi's style and became no longer as restrictive as they were at the beginning.

These simple old peasants actually don’t have so many messy ideas. In their simplest understanding, the current emperor can chat with people like the legendary Emperor Hongwu, and pay for the money to waive the taxes of the big guys. This is enough to show that this emperor is not a chore and is a good emperor.

Now that the emperor said he would find a way out for everyone, it would definitely not be a scam. After all, he is the emperor, and his teeth can be used as gold.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhu Laosi pointed to the direction outside and said with a smile: "I have a grandson who is currently struggling to build the capital, and it is time to require a lot of manpower.

Logically speaking, I was the emperor, and it was natural to recruit civil servants to perform labor service, but I remember that my father once taught me and my brothers that he would not cause trouble to the people, so I did not recruit civil servants, so the staff on this construction site always seemed insufficient.

Just so, didn’t the old brothers say that Handan has been plagued by rain for many years and there was no harvest in the fields? So just let the laborers at home come to Shuntian Mansion to work. My grandson would pay them wages, twenty cents a day.”

Xu Da counted with his fingers: "Twenty citations a day, forty citations a day, and sixty citations a day in two days? I'll be the one who can't do it for two months?"

Zhu Laosi raised his thumb and said, "Old brother can figure it out. That's the case. Fifty days are a one-day money, and two months and sixty days are a one-day money of 200 coins."

Zhao Laowu exclaimed and said, "That's not much better than farming? This relationship is good. You, please tell me quickly. When we look back, we will send the kids at home and we will not farm in the future!"

Zhu Laosi's face turned dark, and then smiled and said, "The land must still be planted, otherwise they would come to the construction site to work, who would still plant grain?"

Zhao Laowu laughed and said, "Can all the people of our Ming Dynasty be used on the construction site? There will definitely be people who will farm."

Zhu Laosi smiled and shook his head, saying, "Let's talk about this construction site first. I heard from my grandson that if you know some skills, your wages will be higher. If you don't have any hand strength, you can only make a lot of effort. That's only twenty cents. Remember to say to the children at home, don't hide it and feel embarrassed to say it."

Xu Da nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, when we look back, we will send the kids at home and let them work hard. We will definitely not be able to get the money for nothing."

Zhu Laosi nodded with a smile and said, "That's right! Look at it, are you satisfied with solving the problem like this? If you have any ideas, tell me, don't treat me as an outsider."

Zhao Laowu shook his head and said, "I have another idea. You have found such a good job for our children, and we can't let you lose money. We still pay the tax. We just have to wait for the children's wages to be paid. Do you think this is OK?"

Zhu Laosi shook his head and said, "Don't talk about taxes anymore. If you say you're exempted, you're exempted. I can't break my promise and be fat. As long as the old brothers don't think that I, the emperor, are bad, then I'll be content."

Looking up at the sun outside the hall, Zhu Laosi continued, "Let's do this, today I'll treat you to the guests, and the old brothers stay in the palace for a meal, and then I'll send you to the old brothers back."

"Hey," Zhao Laowu slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "That's good, I can brag with them for the rest of my life when I go back!"

After Xu Da, Zhao Laowu and others followed Wuxin to leave the hall, the smile on Zhu Laosi's face disappeared, and they stood up and returned to the dragon throne. Zhu Laosi rubbed his forehead and said, "Did you hear it? This is just a Handan, what about other places?

I remember that there were 1,427 counties in the Ming Dynasty, and how many of them were like Handan? Years of floods and years of tax collection, the people lost their land and could not survive. This is what you said, "Assisted the king and the people are at peace?"

...

Zhu Laosi held a rib in his hand, looked at the greasy meat on it, and smelled the fragrant smell. Not only did he not have any appetite, but he sighed heavily.

When he turned his head and looked at Zhu Zhanxu and Yang Shaofeng who were gnawing on the bones, Zhu Laosi could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. He threw the bones heavily into the plate. Zhu Laosi scolded: "Eat! Eat! Eat! You two plan to eat them into pigs and then wait to slaughter the New Year, right?"

Zhu Gaoxu, who was scolded, didn't care. He put down the bones in his hand and said directly: "Is there anything unhappy about Father?"

Zhu Laosi slapped the table suddenly and said hatefully: "Happy? I'm so happy! There have been floods in Handan for many years, and local officials have been urging them too much, forcing the people to come to Shuntian Mansion with great edicts to complain to me!"

Zhu Gaoxu said in surprise: "That's really damn! It's not easy for the people among the people. If they were not forced into a desperate situation, they wouldn't have used the imperial edict to file a lawsuit.

My sons thought that the local officials in Handan should be slaughtered to the people and exempted the people from taxes over the past few years, so that the people could have a chance to recuperate."

Zhu Laosi looked at Zhu Gaoxu unexpectedly and asked, "I have told you these principles in the past, but I have never seen you hear them a few times. Why did you know this time?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "In the past, I was a fool, but since I called Yangjiazhuang and my elder brother to get in the land several times, I have truly realized the difficulties of the people."

Yang Shaofeng looked at Zhu Gaoxu and wanted to ask him how he was lying with his eyes open and he was lying. Zhu Gaoxu came to Yangjiazhuang. He didn't say that the chickens in the village had been in great danger. Maybe one day they would be killed by this person and then twisted their necks and pulled their hair into the pot. Now he still has the face to say that he had actually put them in the fields?

Zhu Laosi also knew what kind of virtue his son was, especially when he brought Xia Yuanji to the village, he even threw away his face. Just listen to such nonsense, and you can't take it seriously.

He reached out and grabbed the ribs he had just thrown down and was about to bite them. Zhu Laosi suddenly felt a little nervous again, so he simply threw the ribs into the plate and stared at Yang Shaofeng and said, "You guys have the most bad ideas. Do you think, what should you do if you do this situation?"

Yang Shaofeng put down the bones in his hand, wiped his hands with a towel, and then said, "The grandson must first congratulate his grandfather.

When the people have difficulties, the first thing they think of is to hold the great edict to seek the grandfather’s complaint. This shows that the people still believe in the grandfather, and there will be no situation where people in the world dare to be angry but dare not speak out. This is a joy.

My local county seat in Ming Dynasty is more than 1,000, and this situation is inevitable. Even if it doesn’t leave now, it may be possible in the future. However, it will appear earlier, but it will appear later. This is the second joy.

As for the grandfather’s question about how to deal with the grandson, he had some small ideas.”

Zhu Laosi suddenly felt better again. He reached out and grabbed the ribs and said, "I am not here to listen to you flatter you, I am asking you to think of a way."

Yang Shaofeng said: "There are 170 censors in the Censorate, right? Just throw them out and let them go to a place to randomly visit people's situation. Wouldn't my grandfather know the trends in the world?"

Zhu Laosi snorted and said, "It's just a bunch of nonsense! I ask you, what is the position of the Censorate?"

Seeing Yang Shaofeng's confused look, Zhu Laosi said directly: "In the 13th year of Hongwu, the Censorate will be dismissed. In the 15th year of Hongwu, the Censorate will be appointed.

The Zuodu Censor was in charge of the Censorate. The thirteen censors planned to have 110 censors to investigate and correct officials from all internal and external departments, and may impeach them in person or seal them in person.

In the two capitals, they inspected the Beijing camp, supervised the township, inspected the imperial examinations, and military examinations, inspected Guanglu, inspected the warehouses, inspected the inner trunks, imperial cities, and five cities. The rotating drums were held. When going out, they were admiral schools, tea horses, patrolled the grain, patrolled the pass, collected transportation, printed horses, and farmland. When the troops were in charge, they supervised the military's discipline.

Emperor Taizu Gao had already thought about these messy ideas you were thinking about, so he needed to repeat them with you?"

Mom, I was deceived by those dog authors again. I thought the censor was a professional troll!

Once again, Yang Shaofeng turned his eyes and said with a smile: "No, what grandson said is very different from this. What grandson said is more similar to the folk recruits in the Tang Dynasty."

Zhu Laosi squinted his eyes and said, "Did you ask me to rely on folk songs to investigate the people's feelings?"

Yang Shaofeng was immediately angry and was fooled again, and he was revenge first.

Shaking his head again, Yang Shaofeng said: "Didn't my grandson say just now? Let these censors go to the local people to see and write down what they saw and heard from where they went.

As the saying goes, the Censors, if they don’t go outside and take a walk, what can they see just staying in the capital and Shuntian Mansion? And it’s better to keep these people outside than to let them bite people in the court, right?”

After thinking about it, Yang Shaofeng continued: "After these people are sent out, unless they encounter something particularly big, just let them carry their eyes and ears.

Of course, considering that this is an offensive plan, my grandfather would better arrange two Jinyiwei for each of them to protect them, and then put two Jinyiwei in the dark. This will not only ensure their safety, but also make some people worry about it. My grandfather can also know whether what they are saying is true or false, which is simply a killing of three goals.
