Chapter 253 Go away with the crown, harass the inn, and defy the laws of the country!

March of the third year of the Apocalypse.

Cabinet ministers Fang Congzhe, Han Yu, Xiong Tingbi, Six Ministers of the Ministry of Justice Sun Ruyou, Bi Ziyan, and Xiong Yingjiao, Governor of the West Factory, formally submitted a memorial, suggesting that the court immediately carry out clearing of land and strictly investigate the illegal and slavery.

Zhu Youxiao laughed after receiving the memorial.

Because he had to admit that after he, the emperor, promoted the new spinning machine and loom, and used it to unite a group of powerful gentry to make profits, as the productivity increased significantly, the powerful gentry he joined together really began to form a new force group.

And this force group has begun to show its fangs and actively demands reform of the government to maximize its own interests.

"The land and population are concentrated in the hands of vassal kings, nobles, officials and gentry. If you want to clear the land of the whole world, you must strictly investigate the illegal slavery and the matter of slaughtering is necessary to offend these people. Tell Fang Congzhe and others, and let them do it boldly! All the court opinions are criticized!"

Zhu Youxiao directly expressed his opinion that as the boss behind these people, he was very willing to see his loyal ministers continue to attack the vassal kings, nobles, and gentry who are also a foster class.

"In addition, the order was sent to transfer the First Battalion of Infantry and First Battalion of the Cavalry of the King Guard Town to Beijing, and the former team of the Xichang Mangui team, Zhao led the Jiao Department and Qi Jin's team to Liaodong. Under the control of Yuan Keli and Sun Chuanting, the two departments of Youshigong and He Shixian were transferred back to the pass to form the Xichang. The Xichang temporarily retained the Qin Minping Department, and Qin Liangyu took 6,000 white-rod soldiers to the capital to listen to it!"

Since Zhu Youxiao decided to support his loyal ministers, nobles, officials and gentry, he naturally had to transfer the most capable and reliable army to his side and guard them everywhere.

The Kinggu Town he trusted most naturally had to be transferred to Beijing and stay by his side to prevent accidents.

There are nearly 10,000 troops in the town of Komwei.

The cavalry of the First Battalion of Infantry and Huang Degong's troops have shown extraordinary combat effectiveness in Liaodong, which is enough to show that the recent town is worthy of being the ace army created by Zhu Youxiao gathering the wisdom of all the famous generals of the Ming Dynasty and his own advantages as time travelers.

Therefore, as long as nearly 10,000 towns are left by your side, Zhu Youxiao will be sure that the safety of himself and the capital is guaranteed.

As for the important place in Liaodong, where the Donglu is still an enemy, Zhu Youxiao believes that after the three divisions of Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui and Qi Jin went to Liaodong, they could make up for the emptiness of Liaodong in the First Battalion of the Infantry Battalion of the King Guard Town and You Shigong and He Shixian's troops transferred. In addition, the abilities of Yuan Keli and Sun Chuanting, Zhu Youxiao believes that he would be more than enough to ensure that there would be no chaos in Liaodong. Perhaps he could create a record that was not inferior to King Guard Town.

The reason why Zhu Youxiao asked You Shigong and He Shixian to go to the Xichang was naturally to reward these two departments for their heroic performance in this battle against the Eastern Barbarians. It can be regarded as telling other military towns in Liaodong that they should not think about playing the trick of raising the bandits. As long as they are loyal to the court, the benefits will only be more or less. Don’t be smart but will be mistaken for being smart.

Although Zhu Youxiao felt that it was foolproof to do this, even if someone rebelled in the capital, he could be safe.

However, Zhu Youxiao still issued an order to let Qin Liangyu lead 6,000 white-rod soldiers into Beijing as mobile troops to listen to them just in case.

At this point, Zhu Youxiao was completely relieved.

"I obey the order!"

Liu Ruoyu replied, and immediately criticized Hong by Congzhe and others.

Therefore, the cabinet then began to issue a ruling order to require the governors and governors of all provinces to immediately clear the land and strictly investigate the phenomenon of excessive slavery. It also required the governors and governors of all provinces to register and report the found ownerless land and excess slaves, and to be managed by the Ministry of Revenue.

The purpose of this is naturally to control these unowned fields in the hands of the court, as a raw material production site, and to reorganize excess slaves and turn them into new workers.

Baoding Prefecture.

"The only thing that offends the powerful and noble gentry in Qingzhangtianmu is that these treacherous officials who are afraid of the world will not be in chaos! I am unwilling to do it!"

Bang!

Huang Zunyi slapped the mansion on the table with a heavy slap, and said to the Baoding Prefecture Promoter Guang Shiheng.

Guang Shiheng-seong sighed, "But this is a court order, how can we violate it?"

Huang Zunyi took off the black hat on his head: "I won't do this official anymore!"

As he said that, Huang Zunyi just hung her crown and left.

Very chic.

He did not resign from the court.

Like many civil officials in the Wanli Dynasty, they were too lazy to resign because they were not happy and left with the title.

Huang Zunyi didn't think there was anything wrong with this, because this was an era when the rules and laws of the king were only effective for the common people. The literati and officials and the powerful did not have the habit and consciousness of abide by the rules of the king.

Even Huang Zunyi felt that this was a manifestation of not seeking fame and fortune and integrity, and would be praised by future generations in the future.

Guang Shiheng felt a little ashamed at this time because he believed that he was still a little greedy for power and did not dare to be as free and elegant as Huang Zunyi.

Not long after, Huang Zunyi left Baoding Prefecture and came to Dongguang County.

But it was already dark, and Huang Zunyi, his family, staff, servants, etc. could only stay near a station called Qingheyi here for one night.

It has been more than two hundred years since the Ming Dynasty inherited peace, and various post stations are located in important transportation areas. Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, many times, various post stations are some economically developed cities.

Qinghe Post is no exception. Along the way, in addition to the inns opened by the government, there are also private brothels and restaurants opened, which are quite prosperous.

Generally speaking, private brothels and restaurants are more luxurious than inns, and more importantly, they have various special services.

Naturally, a scholar-official such as Huang Zunyi would not live in the inn and would not make him wronged, so he lived in a restaurant called "Mizui Tower" in Qinghe Post.

But he still asked the post station for silver as usual, because the post station had the obligation to entertain officials. If the official did not stay at the post station, the post station would have to discount the reception expenses to the official, which would be considered as paying for him to live in another place.

However, Huang Zunyi doesn't need to come forward by himself, his servant will only do these things for him.

This phenomenon of officials and gentry starting to disturb the station as soon as they arrive near the station and get the bribe, is not unique to Huang Zunyi.

In this era, this is a common phenomenon in society.

In history, Xu Xiake mentioned in his travel notes how he took the tickets given by his friends as an official to catch the civil servants at the post station to work for him. It can be seen that the scholars and officials of this era did not think there was anything wrong with this, so they wrote it into their travel notes.

During the Qing Dynasty, one of the charges of Cao Xueqin's father being later confiscated was also due to disturbing the post station.

So, Huang Zunyi didn't think anything was wrong.

"One thousand taels? Uncle, you are so good, you can't give so many stations!"

"You still need a hundred civilians to carry the boxes? This post station is really impossible. Now almost all the villagers who are easy to catch are running away. They all went to Tianjin to work in the north. The rest are tenants and clan members of the large clans. I dare not arrest the post station!"

At this time, after Huang Zunyi's servant Lan Zhiwang asked the post station to give one thousand taels of silver and arrest another hundred civil servants, the post station's chief Ran Chonggui couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Don't grind my teeth for me! I can't afford it for a thousand taels. Don't think I don't know that you are the postmaster here. I'm afraid that most of the shops nearby are opened by you. Do you think my master is just a prefect who resigns from his post and returns to his hometown? You think it's easy to bully? Don't forget that my master is still the prefect of Baoding Prefecture now. If you want you to die, you can make you die!"

Lan Zhiwang kicked Ran Chonggui directly and started cursing.

"What's going on?"

Huang Zunyi was about to go for fun with a local official and gentry Gao Shijun, so after leaving the restaurant, he saw this scene and asked.

Lan Zhiwang replied, "Go back to the master, this postmaster is not honest. The young man asked him for food, but he refused to give it to him! Even the postmaster refused to call!"

"Then let's fight to the death! Do you still want to be a postmaster!"

Huang Zunyi said with a serious expression.

"I really can't give so much. I haven't been this postmaster for a while. How can I get so much money? Please beg the master to be kind!"

Postmaster Ran Chonggui cried and complained.

Huang Zunyi was naturally too lazy to listen, so she went into a brothel with pink fragrance with Gao Shijun.
