Chapter 329 Zhu Gaoxu: I Am a Man of Culture!

Latest website:

Taiyuan Fucheng.

A group of officials surrounded Zhu Gaoxu and moved forward.

"Isn't Taiyuan always a blessed and prosperous place?" Xu Bin asked Yang Rong: "Why are the people in Taiyuan City so rich, but the people don't even have a good piece of clothing?"

Yang Rong sighed after hearing this, not knowing how to answer.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there must be something wrong with Taiyuan Mansion.

The most likely possibility is that officials are corrupt, accepting bribes and extorting excessive taxes, causing local people to live in difficulty.

The lives of ordinary people at the bottom were difficult, and today he finally saw it clearly and clearly.

Nie Xing and Guo Lan remained silent. Based on their understanding of their prince, they finally understood why the prince wanted to rest temporarily in Taiyuan Mansion.

This is going to be unlucky for some people!

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at these Taiyuan officials who had their own thoughts, and then said calmly: "Let's go to the post house first. I am a little tired. We will go to the banquet tomorrow."

Hearing this, Zhang Gongzhu, Wang Zifeng and others could only nodded, sent Zhu Gaoxu and his party to the post house, and then left.

As soon as they left, Zhu Gaoxu's face turned cold.

"Nie Xing, I remember that Taiyuan Mansion also has a hidden line of Jin Yiwei, right?"

The power of the Jinyiwei was not as terrifying as later generations said, and most of them were concentrated in the capital.

But Taiyuan is different, because there is a prince of Ming Dynasty, Prince Jin!

The current King of Jin is Zhu Jiyi, a stubborn, cruel and despicable man.

This guy was originally the bastard son of Zhu Fan, the first king of the Jin Dynasty. He was not favored by his father Zhu Fan because of his misbehavior. Therefore, his father doted on his eldest son Zhu Jixi and made him the eldest son of the Jin Dynasty. He then inherited the title of Jin Wang.

Zhu Jixi was dissatisfied with his father's favoring of his brother, and also learned that Zhu Jixi was dissatisfied with the usurpation of the throne by King Zhu Di of Yan, so he took the opportunity to continuously slander Zhu Jixi in front of Zhu Laosi.

As a result, just last year, the angry Zhu Laosi directly revoked Zhu Jixi's title of King of Jin and exiled him to guard his father's cemetery. Zhu Jixi then attacked and granted the title of King of Jin.

No matter how the King of Jin changes, all the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty are surrounded by Jinyiwei spies installed by the central court. Especially in this important town in Shanxi, I am afraid there will be more spies in the Jin Palace!

However, the current Jin King Zhu Jiyi was busy rushing to Nanyang to expand territory, so he had no time to deal with himself.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't bother to take care of the bad things in the King of Jin's lineage. He just had itchy hands now and wanted to kill a few disobedient corrupt officials.

Nie Xing immediately understood what his prince meant. After pretending for a while, he turned around and left the post house to contact the Jin Yiwei in Taiyuan City.

Jinyiwei has his own contact information. He only needs to meet the Jinyiwei Baihu in charge of Taiyuan, and he can instantly grasp all the secrets of Taiyuan Fucheng!

In the post house, Xu Bin looked at Zhu Gaoxu and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, are you planning to make a big fuss?"

"Are you making a fuss? What are you making a fuss about?" Zhu Gaoxu rolled his eyes at him angrily, "I am a reasonable and educated man, and I am not just a warrior named Qiu Ba who only knows how to fight and kill. I must be trying to reason with them!"

Three people: "???"

What?

Cultural person?

A reasonable and cultural person?

Damn it, please have some face!

When you chopped off the head of the Valley King Zhu Su with one knife, why didn't you say that you were a cultural person?

Phew, I have never seen such a shameless person!

Zhu Gaoxu didn't care about the strange looks from the three people, and said with a smile: "This Taiyuan City is really interesting."

"The people are sallow and thin. It is not just as simple as being poor. I also saw many people walking with their hands on the wall. It is obvious that they have eaten too little salt and have no strength."

Today, only the farmers in Fengyang and the capital can say that they can definitely fill their stomachs and get some meat from time to time.

Fengyang is the land of Longxing of the old Zhu family, so there is no need to pay taxes, and the people live a relatively comfortable life.

Needless to say, the Imperial Capital of Jinling was, after all, the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty. Whenever big events happened or welfare benefits were granted by the imperial court, the people near the imperial capital would be the first to receive these benefits.

In other places, they can barely maintain food and clothing.

However, due to the bad climate of Xiaoglacier, natural disasters continued in Ming Dynasty for many years. People in most areas lived in extreme poverty, and often had to rely on gruel to satisfy their hunger, especially in the northern Xinjiang area.

After all, since Wu Huan Hua Yiguan moved south, the economic center of China has moved to the south, and the lives of the people in the south are still better.

However, even so, the life of the people of Taiyuan Fucheng can no longer be described as bad, it is simply outrageous!

All of them were sallow, thin, and dressed in ragged clothes, just like a group of beggars!

And this is still in Taiyuan Fucheng. You can imagine what the counties and villages under Taiyuan's jurisdiction will be like!

This is true in all prefectures and cities, so how dare you think about it in rural areas?

As His Royal Highness the King of Han in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaoxu knew very well that if the people did not have enough to eat and were about to starve to death, then they would probably gather in the mountains and forests and raise flags to rebel!

No matter how loud the slogans are, no matter how big the bullshit is, if it cannot fill the stomachs of the people, everything will be in vain!

If the common people don't have enough to eat, they will let you know what "Princes, Generals and Prime Ministers would rather have seeds"!

Therefore, Zhang Gongzhu and others must die!

"Hiss... Your Majesty means... that the Taiyuan salt merchants are also involved?"

Xu Bin suddenly took a breath of cold air, and Yang Rong's expression also changed slightly.

Salt merchant, this is a professional term born after the King of Han Dynasty implemented the new salt law, and it also represents the local wealthy merchants.

The new salt law has only been implemented for a few days, but some salt merchants dare to collude with local officials to take bribes and cause trouble to the local people?

Then this is not only a slap in the face of the imperial court, but also a slap in the face of Prince Han!

Only now did everyone realize why His Highness the King of Han stopped in Taiyuan.

The salt merchants were involved in the new salt law, which was related to the main financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty. There must not be any trouble.

What's more, this new salt law was created and implemented by His Highness the King of Han Dynasty. If anything went wrong, he would also bear a lot of responsibility.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, put his legs on the desk, and closed his eyes lazily.

"I haven't left yet, but some people dare to do these little things, even if they are overt and covert!"

"You also know that the prince is a kind-hearted, generous and benevolent person, but he appears to be a little indecisive.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu fell asleep.

The three of them didn't dare to say anything when they saw this, and simply found a place to lie down and rest.

They are all waiting for Nie Xing, waiting for him to find out the true truth of the chaos in Taiyuan, so that they can catch them all in one go.

At the same time, the prefect's Yamen.

Amber wine, gold and jade bottles, tables full of delicacies, bells ringing and cauldrons eating.

There was a burst of laughter at the banquet, and everyone kept drinking and mingling, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

Zhang Gongzhu was sitting on the main seat, enjoying this gluttonous feast.

In order to welcome the arrival of His Highness the King of Han, they specially arranged this welcoming banquet to show their goodwill to His Highness the King of Han.

Even in order to curry favor with His Highness the King of Han, Zhang Gongzhu led a group of officials to wait at the door for a long time.

After finally getting someone to come, he refused to go to the banquet because he was tired and went back to the inn to rest.

When he thought of this, Magistrate Zhang became very angry and chewed the fish meat in his mouth viciously.

"This Prince Han is so arrogant and domineering!"

"Don't worry, Lord Fu. Didn't the King of Han say we'll meet again tomorrow?"

Wang Zifeng smiled lightly, with contempt and disdain for Zhang Gongzhu in his eyes.

A stupid pig, if he hadn't seen you obedient, he would have found a way to kill you!

So who is the King of Han?

Tianhuang nobleman, who is gaining momentum in seizing the direct line of succession!

If he can really enter the East Palace and become the current prince, and serve him now, will he have less glory and wealth in the future?

If you don’t even understand this truth, and you still have the nerve to claim to be a disciple of the emperor, when did the Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty become so worthless!

Wang Zifeng was very helpless about this. He was the boss of Taiyuan Prefecture, the head of the subordinate staff of the government office, and controlled the real power of the entire Taiyuan Prefecture.

Even the salt merchant Wang Ziwen of Taiyuan Prefecture is his brother. With the cooperation of the two brothers, the Wang family controls the economic lifeline and administrative power of the entire Taiyuan Prefecture, and can be called the uncrowned king of Taiyuan!

As for Zhang Gongzhu, the pig, and even the previous prefect of Taiyuan, they were just puppets in their hands.

Wang Zifeng is very confident that as long as they catch up with the towering tree of Han King Zhu Gaoxu, the Taiyuan Wang family can regain the supreme glory of the five surnames and seven high-ranking families in the past and become a famous family in the Ming Dynasty!

There is even a special word that makes people's blood boil - aristocratic family!

It's not impossible!

As long as the King of Han takes over the East Palace, UU Reading www.uukanshu. net becomes the current prince, then the Wang family can rise rapidly and enter the court!

And the Wang family wants money and food, as well as talents, so they are definitely the right-hand man of Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han Dynasty!

If he, Zhu Gaoxu, wants to seize the throne, he cannot do without money, food and talents!

Therefore, this time will be a great opportunity for the Taiyuan Wang family to change their destiny!

Thinking about it, Wang Zifeng solemnly spoke again: "My lord, the King of Han is cunning and domineering. This is something everyone knows."

"But His Royal Highness the King of Han treats his own people very well. Look at those like Jie Gongbao, Chen Gongfu and others. Isn't it because His Highness the King of Han was elevated to high status and became the six ministers and important ministers in charge of the central government?"

"As long as the Master of the Palace follows the villain's suggestion and finds a way to hitch a ride on His Highness the King of Han's towering tree, wouldn't it be possible to have a bright future at your fingertips?"

"The magistrate of Taiyuan is just a fourth-rank official. With my little understanding of the governor, and his talent and knowledge, he is qualified to serve as the governor of the six ministries. In the past, it was just that the time had not come. Now with the arrival of His Highness the King of Han, it is the governor of the government." The most important opportunity in your life, Mr. Zun..."

Zhang Gongzhu was still a little hesitant at first, but after hearing these words from Wang Zifeng, he became so excited that his face flushed with excitement, and the fat all over his body trembled a little.

The six chief ministers!

Is that the lifelong pursuit of many scholars?

"Zifeng, have you sent those beauties and jewelry?"

"Don't worry, sir. I have arranged for someone to send it there. His Highness the King of Han will definitely like it."

"Okay, well done. If this matter comes to pass, I will definitely support you!"

Hearing this, the prince's plump face smiled, but the contempt in his eyes became a little stronger.

What a stupid pig!
