Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Chapter 162 Something Happened to Old Five's Hengyang City?

After returning from Lan Yu's house, Chu Ze was in a trance.

He was actually engaged to a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.
Although in this era, this kind of thing is considered normal.

But yeah.
Although he traveled through such a long time, Chu Ze never integrated himself into this era.

After all, people of the two eras, although there is only four or five hundred years between them.

But no matter in terms of values ​​or the most basic cognition, everyone is very different.

Forcibly blending in is a very painful thing for Chu Ze.

Chu Ze, who wanted to do something after returning home, just lay down on the bed.

Although tossing and turning, it was difficult to fall asleep after all.

"Is something bothering you, Master?"

Today, it is the vernal equinox who is in charge of keeping watch for Chu Ze in the second half of the night.

The five maids took turns guarding him all night, driving away mosquitoes, fanning the fan, covering the quilt and so on, almost all of them were within the scope of their duties.

Of course, this is because Chu Ze didn't have any special requirements, otherwise their scope of duties would be wider.

As for the spring equinox, looking at him lying on the bed, he had been tossing and turning since the first half of the night, and now it was almost the second half of the night, but he was still Chu Ze with his eyes wide open.

After hesitating for a while, she finally spoke.

In fact, in principle, these maids are the eyeliners arranged by others around Chu Ze.

Their ultimate duty is to monitor Chu Ze's every move.

And the conversation with Chu Ze should be as few as possible.

After all, if they had feelings for Chu Ze, they would lose the need to continue to be eyeliners.

But looking at Chu Ze lying on the bed, Chun Equinox finally spoke.

I don't know if it was because of the time spent together that made her have some other feelings towards Chu Ze, or it was simply because Chu Ze gave them some jewelry, which made her feel that she owed Chu Ze in her heart.

"Hey, I just feel weird in my heart, but I don't know how to say it. It's quite depressing."

"Why don't I give you a massage, my servant has learned some massage techniques before, maybe it can make the master relax."

"Really? That's ok...uh, do you want to take off your clothes?"

"My lord, you can do whatever you want,"

When he heard Chu Ze's question, Chun Equinox blushed slightly.

And the cattail fan in his hand was slowly put aside.

After seeing what she said, Chu Ze thought about it, and finally lay down directly on the bed.

Show your back in front of the vernal equinox.

Seeing that Chu Ze didn't make any further moves, although Chun Equinox breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes inevitably became a little disappointed.

They are all Chu Ze's maids, and they are also personal maids.

To put it bluntly, this identity is not much different from a concubine's room.

Not even as good as a concubine's room.

But the responsibilities are the same.

Even if Chu Ze had no other intentions, it would be difficult for them to remarry as they got older.

Of course, if it is to lower the requirements and marry some dirty people, there is no need to worry.

But how many of those who can become noble maids are really poor in appearance?

So. Women like them can be said to be very sad.

But now they are still the eyeliners arranged by Chu Ze's side, if Chu Ze can always be loyal to His Majesty and the court.

The best destination for these eyeliners is to become Chu Ze's concubine.

And almost home?
Be alone forever.

"By the way, how often do you report my situation to His Majesty at the spring equinox? Or should I report only when something unexpected happens to me?"

Feeling the kneading and hammering of a pair of skillful hands on his back lightly and heavily.

Chu Ze's spirit also gradually relaxed.

After taking a pillow and putting it in front of him to make him lie down more comfortably, Chu Ze also took the initiative to find a topic to chat with.

I don't know what's going on today. If it was normal, he would have fallen asleep long ago.

As a result, today is a bit tossing and turning.

And Chunfen, who was still doing massage for Chu Ze, paused slightly when he heard his question.

She really didn't know how to answer Chu Ze's question.

"You don't have to hide anything, just say whatever you have. My situation is clear to you, and you can truthfully report the things I asked to His Majesty."

"He won't care about these, just treat it as small talk."

Chu Ze squinted his eyes, and after feeling the hands behind his back paused for a while, he did not forget to explain the other party with a smile.

After Chun Equinox heard what Chu Ze said, she hesitated for a moment, looked at Chu Ze's squinting face, bit her lower lip, and finally began to speak slowly.

"In the beginning, it was reported almost every day, and it was basically not reported after that. What His Majesty means is that it should be reported only when there are special circumstances."

"The special situation we judge is basically who came to the house, what did you talk about, or when did you come, and when did you leave?"

"My lord, you can rest assured now. Your Majesty has already ordered you to report matters concerning your life, such as who will attend the bed at night, and you will not be allowed to report them in the future."

When he said this, Chun Equinox blushed as if it was about to bleed.

After all, it was herself who was reported for this kind of thing for the first time.

Speaking of this matter at this time, she was naturally a little shy.

"Well, His Majesty has a conscience! Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep well. I suddenly feel a little sleepy, and you don't have to wait on me. Go to sleep quickly. Staying up late is not good for your body."

I don't know if it's because the spring equinox massage is really effective, or if Chu Ze is sleepy and can't bear it anymore.

While yawning, he told the other party to go to bed earlier, but before he finished speaking, he had already fallen into a drowsy sleep.

And looking at Chu Ze who was gradually falling asleep, Chun Equinor stretched out his hand a little guilty, and straightened the sideburns on his face.

Then, he picked up the fan next to him again, driving away mosquitoes and heat for him.

In his sleep, Chu Ze felt in a daze as if something was pushing him.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to drive away.

He turned around and fell asleep again.

However, in the next second, a shout suddenly exploded in his ears.

"It's not good! It's on fire, get up and run for your life!"

This sudden roar made Chu Ze, who was still soundly asleep, startled.

After waking up suddenly, it was as if he had been loaded with a spring, and he jumped out of bed all at once.

"Damn it! Where is the fire? Hurry up and put out the fire! Someone is injured, Mr. Yongle!"

After jumping up in a daze, Chu Ze wanted to call for someone to put out the fire.

But when he saw Zhu Di standing not far away with a mean face, he bent down to pick up the shoe and threw it towards him.

"Hey you bastard, what time is it, you're still sleeping, can't you be a kid?"

After Zhu Di dexterously dodged the hidden weapon Chu Ze threw, he noticed Chu Ze's slightly haggard look.

As someone who has been there, he immediately looked at Chu Ze with mean eyes as if he had thought of something.

Then, with a wicked smile on his face, he threw Chu Ze's shoes back.

The man even sat directly next to Chu Ze and bumped Chu Ze with his shoulder.

"You can do it! I thought you were weak, but I didn't expect you to be able to toss around like this. I'm afraid it will be a fierce battle all night."

"Listen to my brother, if you hurt your body, you must know how to control yourself!"

Looking at the mean Zhu Di beside him, Chu Ze silently picked up the shoe, and then directly slapped the sole of the shoe towards Zhu Di's face.

However, Zhu Di, who had been prepared for a long time, directly shifted his body and dodged again.

"Hey, I've made a lot of progress in the recent training, okay? With your current attack speed, it's basically impossible to sneak attack me. Hehehe"

"Believe me, you are so cheap, you will be beaten sooner or later."

Seeing Zhu Di who was dodging again, Chu Ze just stood up silently and let the maids who came in help him change his clothes.

Seeing this, Zhu Di went directly to the outer hall and sat down.

He casually grabbed the fruit on the table, wiped it, and ate it unceremoniously.

"Why did you come here again today?"

"Isn't this the end of the training? On weekdays, if you are idle, you are idle. It's not like you don't know about idleness."

"I was originally going to the palace, but my eldest brother saw that you didn't go to class today, and you didn't go to the testing ground. So let me come and see you."

"Hey, you really didn't fight hard last night? You can't do it, can you?"

"."

Chu Ze, who was getting dressed, heard Zhu Di's words.

He really wanted to rush out and sew the mouth of this guy up.
And hearing Zhu Di's nasty words, Bai Lu and the others who were dressing Chu Ze also silently lowered their heads.

After washing up, Chu Ze hurriedly brought Zhu Di to the front hall.

Because of insomnia yesterday, he was a little dizzy today.

As soon as I sat down, I felt a little sleepy.

"Let me tell you something"

After coming to the front hall to sit down, Zhu Di leaned over mysteriously.

However, seeing his head getting closer and closer, Chu Ze pulled it away in disgust.

"I can be regarded as my own here, don't make it so mysterious, just speak directly if you have something to say."

"I'm not trying to heighten the atmosphere!"

After being pushed away by Chu Ze in disgust, Zhu Di shrugged his shoulders with some disdain.

After silently pointing the middle finger to Chu Ze, he continued.

"I heard from my eldest brother this morning that something happened to my fifth brother."

After hearing Zhu Di's words, Chu Ze frowned.

Zhu Wei's experimental city plan has just started, so something happened so soon?

"Be more specific."

"I heard that Lao Wu was wantonly collecting land and money over there, and then all the people he provoked went to the gate of the county government to kneel down and cry for grievances. Hundreds of people went there. After the father heard about this, this Surprisingly, I didn't get angry this time, I just left the matter to the elder brother to deal with it."

"As for the eldest brother, he sent Lao Wu a handwritten letter, and then I don't know about the rest."

"But what I heard from my elder brother is that someone is behind this matter."

After Chu Ze listened to Zhu Di's narration, he just poured himself a cup of tea silently.

Chu Ze had anticipated such a situation from the very beginning.

people gather
This may sound like a lot of trouble, but in fact, it is just that.

As for the pusher behind it, this is also inevitable.

Under the background of this era, the common people are the bottom of the whole society, and the gathering of hundreds of people is no small matter.

If it is serious, what are these people called?
This is not called gathering people to complain!
That's called treason.

It can be shot directly.

Whether it is the common people or the Yamen, they are very clear about this.

But even so, these people still came.

How is this possible if there is no one behind it?

With the common people's timid and fearful living standards, this kind of thing can't happen.

"Are you not worried about problems with Lao Wu at all?"

Originally thought that after he finished speaking, Chu Ze would show a little flustered.

But what Zhu Di didn't expect was that Chu Ze didn't seem to care about it at all.

After putting down the teacup and patting his clothes twice, he seemed to be planning to go out.

"What are you worried about? If the king of Zhou can't handle such a small matter well, then he doesn't need to stay in Hengyang City any longer, just come back directly."

"The people gathered together to complain about their grievances, just because of his acquisition of land."

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, can't we just distribute the collected land in a leased manner?"

"Set up a posture directly outside the yamen, and people without land can come to land leases. The lease period is permanent!"

"How much is the annual rent, how will the family's land be allocated in the future, these issues can be done by taking advantage of the trend."

"Everyone thinks that he is going to occupy the land, so the people will panic, but if he leases the land directly, and it is rented out according to the rent of the country."

"And guarantee in the name of the imperial court that the lease term of these lands will last indefinitely, passed down from generation to generation, and after explaining to the people how powerful it is."

"Do you think the people will still make trouble?"

"Or, will the real people still follow suit?"

"As for those who incite the people to make trouble, just investigate. After the investigation is found out, continue to search the house, reorganize the land, and then carry out land reform step by step."

"If what you do is really beneficial to the people, then the people will not resist you."

"In particular, his lands are collected from some landlords and tyrants. As long as there is such a piece of land, and how these lands come from, it is all clear."

"Although most of the people are illiterate, a little ignorant, and easily incited by others. But they are not stupid. They can feel who is good to them in their hearts."
