I'm really not doing business

Chapter 943: Devoting All My Life to the Rest of My Life

"Does the interest on previous student loans need to be reduced as well?" Zhang Juzheng asked solemnly after reading Ling Yunyi's memorial.

Ling Yunyi said with certainty: "Yes, this is very necessary."

"Don't talk about what has been done, don't advise on what has happened, and don't blame the past. Your memorial is likely to cause opposition. If it is so harsh, it will be difficult to implement. Isn't it a bit radical?" Zhang Juzheng tried to compromise. Old things should be handled with old methods, and new things should be handled with new methods. What has passed should be passed.

Laws do not have retroactive effect, which is a basic principle for the implementation of laws and government orders. The scope of retroactive application of new laws must be strictly controlled to prevent violent social unrest and reduce opposition to the implementation of government orders.

But what Ling Yunyi meant was that the interest on student loans that had already been incurred should be reduced retroactively.

"I just asked them to reduce the interest in the future. It's good enough that I didn't ask these guys to pay back the money." Ling Yunyi's tone was unfriendly, and even a little murderous.

Obviously, in Ling Yunyi's view, he had already compromised and did not pursue the interest that had already been generated because these money houses had paid taxes.

Ling Yunyi is an extremely radical reformer. He believes that if it is impossible to eliminate opposing thoughts, then the specific opposing people should be eliminated, so that no one will oppose.

"I think it would be better to let Xiong Da worship you as his teacher." Zhang Juzheng looked at Ling Yunyi and thought of Xiong Tingbi who was guarding Iwami Silver Mine in Japan. Ling Yunyi and Xiong Tingbi's understanding of Confucianism was very different from the traditional understanding.

"Okay, but I'm afraid Yuanfu won't be willing to let him go. I'm not as lucky as you to have such a talented disciple who is both civil and military." Ling Yunyi also had a smile on his face. He really liked Xiong Tingbi.

You can tell a child’s future from the age of three and his character from the age of seven. Xiong Tingbi would never be born on his knees, but would die standing up like a real man. He was destined to make a significant contribution to the history of the Ming Dynasty.

"What's the reason? What's your reason for doing this?" Zhang Juzheng asked Ling Yunyi why he took such big steps.

"In the 172th year of the Wanli reign, there was a Jinshi who passed the imperial examination. He ranked nd in the third class, Wan Zhongzhen, and he came from the White Deer Grotto Academy. I met him. He had nowhere else to turn to and hoped to become my disciple. He asked me to give him taels of silver to pay off the debt he owed me."

"What your disciple Shen Shixing said is very true. Being in debt will turn a person into a slave. I didn't ask him to become my disciple. Instead, I lent him three hundred silver coins and asked him to pay it back slowly, without interest." Ling Yunyi stopped laughing and talked about what he had seen and heard.

Ling Yunyi had a bad reputation in official circles. After he returned to Beijing, almost no one came to him for help. His reputation was too bad, and it would be very difficult for him to get promoted in the future. Then Wan Zhongzhen came.

Wan Zhongzhen is at a loss and at a crossroads in life, and he has three choices.

It is unknown how many years it will take for the first person to pay off his debts without being greedy or corrupt;
The second one accepted the condition of waiving the debt, used his power to provide some convenience to these banks, and even made a lot of money;
The third is to seek rent through power, engage in corruption and pay off debts.

When Wan Zhongzhen passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, the money shop immediately forgave his debt, but Wan Zhongzhen did not agree. He knew that if he agreed, he would become a corrupt official in the future.

At that time, he had just passed the imperial examination and was still working as an official. He did not have much power or money.

"Yuanfu, the officials of the Ming Dynasty all come from various academies. If this trend is not eliminated, they will be full of malice towards this world. Do we expect everyone to stick to their own character like Wan Zhongzhen? What will the Ming Dynasty become?" Ling Yunyi raised a key question.

This group of scholars will become officials in the future. They are the elected officials of the Ming Dynasty and the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty. The ruling class determines the final direction of the Ming Dynasty.

Why are they full of malice towards the world? Because the world is full of malice towards them. As they grow up, they have to deal with all kinds of carefully designed capital games, which are full of traps and temptations.

"That makes sense. Let's do as Ling Ci Fu said. Ling Ci Fu and I will write a joint letter." Upon hearing this, the conservative Zhang Juzheng immediately agreed. He was old and didn't have many years left. When he thought that after he was gone, the emperor would take a group of such bureaucrats with him, he immediately chose to write a joint letter.

Not only will he do it, but he will also personally supervise it in the name of rectifying educational affairs!

I can't say anything else about the students who grew up in such an environment, but they must be very good at scheming. If all the officials are good at scheming, the Ming Dynasty may not last long.

Now that everyone is busy scheming for personal gain, who will do the work? Who will blame Chen Shan? Who will be the upright and honest minister?
We cannot expect every student to be like Xu Chengchu, who has been scolded for having a goiter all his life but remains stubborn.

Seeing that Zhang Juzheng had agreed and was going to do it himself, Ling Yunyi left immediately. He wanted to focus his main energy on the Chidao and leave the rectification of education to Zhang Juzheng.

Moreover, reducing the interest on student loans very much meets Zhang Juzheng's needs. Zhang Juzheng is engaged in a narrative of gratitude, and the reduction of interest can completely become a part of the narrative of gratitude. Once the policy of reducing interest is implemented, Your Majesty's grace can never be repaid.

The Spanish envoy, the Ministry of Rites interpreter Legazpi, was on duty at the Ministry of Rites. He was translating a Danish astronomy book, "On New Stars", whose author was the Danish royal astrologer: Tycho Brahe.

Tycho married a Danish princess and built an observatory on the island of Ven, with more than twenty assistants helping him observe the stars.

"On New Stars" discusses not only the guest star (supernova explosion) in the sixth year of Longqing, but also various astronomical mapping data to discuss the movement of celestial bodies. Because this book is too professional, it is extremely difficult for Le Yashi to translate it. He often needs to go to the Imperial Observatory to ask for help from astronomy students. For this purpose, they created several easy-to-understand words, such as stars, planets, orbits, etc.

Every time there is a drastic social change, a new batch of words will be created, and the same is true for the development of knowledge.

Li Yashi finally finished the translation, and then he saw a group of Tiqi walking into the Ministry of Rites' interpreter's office. The Tiqi leading the group was very familiar to Li Yashi, the Chief of Justice, Chen Mo, because Chen Mo had arrested him several times.

"My God, no! I haven't made up any jokes recently, and I'm translating a very important book. I need to go to the Imperial Observatory frequently to communicate with the astronomers. Can you wait three days before arresting me?" Li Yashi stood up in horror, took a step back, and tried to negotiate with the Tiqi.

If he was caught for making up a joke, it wouldn't matter. After all, the emperor had three children born recently, and the three auspicious boxes were combined into one for distribution. The news that he saved four silver coins on one box had spread throughout the streets of the capital. It was hilarious to think that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was so stingy with his money.

But Legaspi swore that he didn't make any jokes because he was busy translating.

"I'm not looking for you." Chen Mo waved at Li Yashi and asked Tiqi to press Shah Mamtim next to him on the table.

Shah Mamtim was originally watching the fun, and thought that Li Yashi was going to be taken away again. He never expected that the Tiqi would arrest him this time!

"What's wrong? Why are you arresting me?" Shah Mamtim was pressed on the table, his face had become extremely ferocious. He was afraid that the Ming Dynasty Tiqi, these people wearing vermilion flying fish uniforms, could enter and exit any government office at will and arrest any military honors and officials.

In the Ming Dynasty, no matter what you do, don't let the Imperial Guards come to your door.

"Shah Mamtim, you have been arrested for your involvement in the assassination of the king. This is the arrest warrant from the Ministry of Justice." Chen Mo took out the arrest warrant and the ink pad and asked Shah Mamtim to press his fingerprints on it.

"Assassinating the king and killing the emperor?" Shah Mamtim stopped struggling and looked at Chen Mo dully. With this crime, not only could he survive, but all the Mongols in the Ming Dynasty might die.

The sky is falling!
Li Yashi took a few steps back and looked at Shah Mamtim in disbelief. His eyes were dull. This guy was even braver than himself! He just made up a joke. Shah Mamtim actually dared to assassinate the king!
"Take him away. Li Tongshi, you continue with your work." Chen Mo waved his hand and led the team away.

Shah Mamtim was dragged away. He was so nervous that he could not make any sound, let alone walk. He even forgot to breathe. The torture chamber did not want Ming people, but he was a Mongol, so he could be sent to the torture chamber!

Chen Mo arrested Shah Mamtim, and the rest of the Tiqi also arrested 100 students from the Mongol Empire in the Ming Dynasty. The charge was not that these students were shitting everywhere, but the same reason: assassinating the king and killing the emperor, and being the remnants of the rebel party.

After Chen Mo put the criminals in jail, he began to interrogate them in detail. Finally, after writing the files, he went to the imperial study in Tonghe Palace at dusk to report the situation.

The whole case is related to the state gift sent by the Mughal Empire, five jugs of holy water from the Ganges from Allahabad. Drinking the holy water of the Ganges, especially the holy water during the Kumbh Mela, can obtain the blessing of the gods and purify the toxins in the body.

Akbar, the ruler of the Mughal Empire, sent a valuable gift to express his friendship and to get his son Salim to return to his country.

"According to preliminary investigations, they do drink this holy water and cherish it very much. They don't intend to assassinate the king." Chen Mo informed His Majesty of the preliminary investigation results, which were not subjective intentions to assassinate the king.

How terrifying is this holy water? Jie Kui Yuan took the holy water for research and conducted five rounds of comparative experiments.

The final result was that more than half of all the animals participating in the experiment died from diarrhea and dehydration. Even if they survived, they would suffer from diarrhea for three days.

Even the toughest man can't stop diarrhea, let alone diarrhea that lasts for three days.

Zhu Yijun preferred to call it a thick soup.

"I don't believe in their religion, so I cannot get the protection of their gods. They can enjoy this thick soup by themselves. Except for Salim who will return home immediately, the others will be released after half a month." The Ming Emperor gave a clear instruction. He certainly would not blame the Jiekuyuan and the Tiqi Yamen for overreacting.

The Kumbh Mela, also known as the Bathing Festival, is the largest Hindu gathering. A grand ceremony is held every twelve years, a half ceremony is held every six years, and a small ceremony is held every three years. The national gift presented by Akbar is the holy water at the grand ceremony held every twelve years.

During the Kumbh Mela, devout Hindus gather in the Ganges to bathe in the hope of washing away their sins. Every year, countless numbers of people participate.

In the culture of Mughal Hinduism, Hindu gods and demons fought for a precious pot containing the elixir of life. As a result, the pot was accidentally knocked over, and the elixir fell into the Ganges. Drinking the holy water for a long time has the effect of prolonging life.

Akbar was sincere and gave a gift that he thought was extremely precious. If they were in a normal relationship, Akbar would not have given such a gift, but Zhu Yijun certainly could not enjoy such a blessing.

This kind of Nurgle soup can really kill people if you drink it.

"The Ministry of Rites checked old records and believed that it might have been an unintentional mistake and there was no intention to assassinate the king." Chen Mo presented the results of the Ministry of Rites' investigation. All the officials of the Honglu Temple who were involved in the incident were detained for investigation. It was confirmed that the five pots of holy water were not replaced and indeed came from the Mongol Empire.

Zhu Yijun finished reading the file, which talked about the old story of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, taking the Indian elixir of immortality.

Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi, said to Hao Chujun, then the Minister of Dongtai:

In the last years of the Zhenguan reign, the late Emperor ordered the Brahmin monk Narisavami to prepare an elixir of immortality according to an old recipe from his country that had been prepared over the years. The late Emperor took it, but it had no effect. When he became seriously ill, even the famous doctors did not know what to do.

Throughout the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was not the only one who took the Indian elixir of life.

Emperor Gaozong of Tang took an elixir of immortality in the second year of Kaiyao. In her later years, Empress Wu Zetian also took the magic pills prepared by Taoist Hu Huichao for a long time. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji, even had a man named Lu Sheng from Yan who claimed to be a pre-Qin Qigong practitioner and made pills for him.

Tang Xianzong Li Chun was even crazier. He issued an edict to recruit sorcerers from all over the world and ordered the sorcerer Liu Mi to command all the sorcerers in the world to make elixirs for him.

If the Tang Dynasty is too far away, then Daoye, who practiced Taoism for a long time, served as prime minister and made his own elixirs, is no less impressive.

The Ministry of Rites did not dare to block the presentation of this elixir of life, but its opinion on accepting the gift was that "immortal matters are illusory", and it hoped that the emperor would not be obsessed with it.

The experiments conducted at Jiekuin also proved that this elixir of life not only could not make people live forever, but it would also make people sick and lead to death in an extremely painful way.

The chief physician firmly opposed the emperor's consumption of the large pot of holy water, and used extremely precious Japanese people to conduct a comparative experiment. The results were no different from those of the animal experiments.

"Forget it, just tell the Mongol Empire not to send it again." Zhu Yijun originally planned to have the report on the study of holy water by the Jiekuyuan, "The Elephant of the Water of Eternal Life", translated into Persian and sent to Akbar, but he did not do so in the end. Religion is indeed a very strange thing. The goodwill of the Ming Dynasty may not be rewarded, but instead be met with hostility.

The dream of immortality, the curse of the emperor, Zhu Yijun would not pursue such illusory things. As for the talk about immortals, Zhu Yijun had only two words to describe it: heresy.

Once you have supreme power, do you have to pursue immortality?
Zhu Yijun looked at the thick stack of memorials in front of him. He felt that as a donkey in a mill, he had worked very hard all his life. Why should he be a donkey pulling a mill forever?

For Zhu Yijun, who was willing to fulfill his responsibilities and obligations as a king, immortality was more like a curse, an eternal shackle, and an infinite continuation of responsibility.

Governing a vast empire is an extremely heavy responsibility and obligation, as heavy as Mount Tai. Carrying the sun and the moon on your shoulders and being tied to the country is a burden in itself.

Zhu Yijun reviewed the case file and sent it to the cabinet for handling.

Zhang Juzheng received the emperor's red-ink comments, and he felt somewhat complicated. The emperor's red-ink comments contained only four sentences and were quite concise.

The holy water offered by the Mongol Empire was examined by the chief physician and found to be a foul poison. Drinking it would not only do no good, but would cause premature death and illness.
In the past, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty were fascinated by Indian prescriptions and medicines, seeking longevity but hastening death. This is a clear lesson.
It is permanently forbidden for all vassal states to introduce such longevity items. Anyone who uses magic or exotic drugs to confuse the emperor's mind will be treated as a treasonous person.

Eternal life is vain, and the country is in difficulty. I wish to devote all my energy to the work of the country during my lifetime, to clear up the world, and benefit the people.

The elixir of life is fake. History has taught us a lesson. Foreign countries are prohibited from using elixirs of life. Those who use magic to confuse the mind of the emperor in the Ming Dynasty are considered to be traitors. The emperor gave a brief evaluation of this matter: he devoted all his efforts to the cause of his country during his lifetime.

"Ling Ci Fu, take a look at this." Zhang Juzheng showed the emperor's red-ink comments to Ling Yunyi.

Ling Yunyi was quite surprised. He read it carefully several times before saying with a smile, "Okay, okay, your majesty is wise, your majesty is wise."

Zhang Juzheng and Ling Yunyi were both experienced people. The Taoist priest practiced Taoism and made the court a chaotic place. People could not get promoted by doing things, but they could write Qingci. The court was a place of chaos at that time.

Today, they suddenly heard about the elixir of immortality, which brought back some very painful memories for Zhang Juzheng and Ling Yunyi. They were also worried that His Majesty was going to seek immortality.

As a result, His Majesty gave a very clear promise.

If Your Majesty wishes to live forever in the future, take this boomerang with the imperial edict and hit His Majesty the Emperor hard!

A Wenyuan Pavilion secretary rushed into the inner cabinet, panting, holding his knees, pointing outside and shouting: "Something happened, something happened in Beitu City."

"What's the matter? Tell me in detail." Zhang Juzheng frowned. Beitu City is the base of Beidaying!

"Someone was selling that big bowl of herbal tea, and something happened! There are two to three hundred people lying in bed. The chief doctors from Shuntian Prefecture Yamen and Jiekan Hospital have already gone there." The post was written by Zhongshu Sheren, who finally caught his breath and answered the question completely.

A big bowl of herbal tea, with a piece of sugar and a little salt, if chilled, is the national cellar for the poor laborers who do hard work.

This time, the accident was caused by the big bowl of cold tea. The situation was not clear. Yang Junmin, the chancellor of Shuntian Prefecture, had already gone there with the yamen runners.

Yang Junmin rushed to the scene. The chief physician of the dissection hospital and the doctor of the pharmacy of Beidaying arrived faster than Yang Junmin. Even Qi Jiguang brought more than 50 soldiers to maintain order at the scene, isolate everyone, and dig a toilet.

If you have a stomach upset, you don't take antidiarrheal medicine, but diarrhea medicine to empty your stomach, so Qi Jiguang asked the soldiers to dig a toilet.

Dealing with the disease on the spot and preventing it from spreading is a compulsory task during a march.

"Prime Minister Yang, logically I shouldn't interfere in political affairs, but haven't the captains of the Five Cities Army been investigating and punishing these peddlers? How could such a mess occur?" Qi Jiguang's tone was already very stern.

When Yang Junmin was asked this question, he was sweating profusely, fearing that Qi Jiguang would swing his whip and beat him to death.

Yang Junmin said to himself, how bitter it is.

If three people are unfortunate, they will be sent to the county magistrate's residence; if three people are evil, they will be sent to the capital's residence; if three people are full of evil, they will be sent to the capital's residence.

This isn't the first time something bad has happened after drinking a large bowl of herbal tea, but this time it's particularly serious.

As the population of the capital gradually increased, more and more peddlers occupied the roads to do business, causing the already congested traffic to become even more chaotic. The captain of the Five Cities Military Division had to clear out these peddlers who occupied the roads to do business many times.

As soon as this happened, something went wrong. The thing that the Ming Dynasty's capital, as the political center, lacked the least was a basket of opinions!
Whenever the captain went out to clean up, he would encounter the weirdness of these scholar-officials.

For example, "Officials are fiercer than tigers, and cutting off their lives is no different from killing them?"; "Under the feet of the emperor, the best place, there is no place for poor people to live"; "A bowl of rice and a jug of water, the saints care about the people, but the officials do not"; "If the herbal tea stalls are banned, where will the 100,000 laborers get a drink?".

Yang Junmin cannot afford any of the charges here!
Your Majesty sympathizes with the sufferings of the people, but he, as a parent official, does not sympathize. Isn't this disloyal? Yang Junmin's father, Yang Bo, had always been rumored to be unfaithful. As Yang Bo's son, he was able to get to where he is now entirely because of Wang Chonggu's nostalgia.

Now even Wang Chonggu is gone.

When something happens, these scholars will yell loudly and ask why they didn’t take action earlier!

"Prime Minister Yang, I have no intention of holding you accountable. It just happened in front of the Beidaying gate and I happened to bump into you, so I asked a few more questions. If you have any difficulties, you can do the same as Wang Xiyuan and ask His Majesty for a decision." Qi Jiguang looked at Yang Junmin and did not continue to hold him accountable.

Yang Junmin also had a difficult situation, and Qi Jiguang was very clear about this.

Chief Medical Officer Pang Xian quickly found out the reason. If the big bowl of herbal tea was freshly brewed, it would not go bad. However, this high sugar content, coupled with the warming weather, would breed all kinds of messy microorganisms overnight, and drinking it would cause bad consequences.

It rained a little in the capital yesterday and the temperature was not high. Several peddlers who had prepared large pots and bowls of herbal tea did not sell out all of them, so they continued to sell them the next day. Then, in the evening, so many people came.

"No, no, no! Yang Fucheng, ask these stall owners, there is no problem with the overnight herbal tea at other stalls, why are there problems with these three stalls? Ask them what they added!" After treating several patients, Pang Xian immediately realized that something was wrong, and he did not dare to use any medicine.

All the patients came from three hawker stalls and they did not tell the truth.

Simple diarrhea is easy to deal with. It was discovered in time and the military doctor from Beidaying arrived quickly, but this is obviously not as simple as just having an upset stomach.

The big bowl of overnight herbal tea was not sold by just one vendor. These three vendors must have added something else to it!
Soon, the yamen runners found out the vendors' secret recipe. Oleander, an ornamental plant introduced to China in the Tang Dynasty, has a unique flavor when its leaves are boiled. To be specific, it tastes very bitter, but some people feel energized after drinking it.

These three vendors even made a special medicine bag. After boiling the medicine, they took out the leaves, for fear that their secret recipe would be discovered.

"This thing is used for abortion, how dare you use it recklessly!" When Pang Xian heard this, he knew that something big was about to happen!

Oleander is highly poisonous, and its leaves do have a cardiotonic effect, but the dosage should never be excessive, otherwise you will experience the symptoms you are experiencing now, abdominal cramps and diarrhea.

Pang Xian worked for three days and two nights until his eyes were red, but in the end three patients did not survive.

All three of these people had some underlying diseases, and the discovery was made late, especially since the three vendors did not tell the truth. Inducing vomiting and laxatives were no longer effective, and they could only watch the patients pass away.

Pang Xian dragged his extremely tired body and followed Yang Junmin into Tonghe Palace to report the details.

"Prime Minister Yang, I know it's difficult for you, but you still have to inspect, especially the cold food and drinks. Summer is coming soon, and cold food and drinks are most likely to cause trouble. You don't have to pay attention to the endless chatter of those Confucian scholars." Zhu Yijun first punished Yang Junmin and deducted his salary for half a year.

It's not that the Shuntian Prefecture government did nothing. With a population of 3.5 million in the capital and 3,500 yamen runners, it was indeed beyond their capacity to handle the situation. This matter was a result of a single oversight.

"I obey your command." Yang Junmin bowed again. When he stood up, he even felt a little dizzy. He had been busy for three days without closing his eyes. He finally sorted out the capital inside and out.

In particular, the captain was asked to repeatedly warn the peddlers and peddlers not to take things for granted, be clever, and add things that should not be added.

"In this case, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple have the opinion of immediate execution. These three vendors do not meet the criteria of manslaughter. They had no intention of harming anyone and only caused casualties, which constitutes intentional homicide." Zhu Yijun asked Yang Junmin for his opinion on how to deal with the criminals.

Three vendors and oleander killed three people. The Ming Dynasty law has very clear boundaries between manslaughter and intentional homicide.

"Great Ming Code·Criminal Law·Human Life": If the food or drinks sold by shops are poisonous and cause death, it will be treated as intentional killing.

"Your Majesty, if the criminal had not refused to explain in order to conceal the secret recipe, no one would have been killed. I think what the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple said is very good." Yang Junmin believed that the judgment of the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple was reasonable and well-founded.

There is a very crucial detail here, that is, after the incident and the chief medical officer arrived at the scene, the three vendors still did not tell the truth in order to conceal the secret recipe, which led to missing the best time for rescue. This is the reason why it was judged as intentional homicide.

It was because Pang Xian was a great medical practitioner, inducing vomiting, laxatives, and fluid replacement, otherwise more than three people would have died.

"This case is exactly the same as the poison cake case during the Chenghua period." Yang Junmin talked about the old story.

In the tenth year of Chenghua, Wang Sanqiang, an owner of a pastry shop, mixed a large amount of aconite powder into the honey sugar cakes he sold, mainly to make them golden and crispy, and also to preserve them for a longer period of time. Within three days, seventeen people died of poisoning and more than two hundred people were seriously ill and bedridden.

The main culprit, Wang Sanqiang, was executed by slow slicing, and all his family members were exiled. Even ten neighboring shop owners were implicated because they did not report the crime.

Dozens of officials, including the inspector of Shuntian Prefecture and the captain of the Five Cities Military Division, were investigated and punished for dereliction of duty and exiled to Liaodong. This was a completely unprovoked disaster.

The Chenghua poisoned cake case and the Wanli poisoned tea case were almost identical, but because Pang Xian's medical skills were better, no more deaths were caused and the impact of the case was much smaller. Therefore, his family did not have to be exiled, and the neighbors did not have to be implicated.

"Then let's investigate thoroughly and wait for execution in the autumn." Zhu Yijun considered it and agreed with the opinions of the various judicial officials.

The emperor changed the subject and said, "To prevent this from happening again, the Wucheng Bingmasi will appoint food inspectors to regularly check food from vendors and markets. Honey, syrup, tea and other materials that are easy to be adulterated will be stamped with official inspection marks and regularly checked."

"Publish this case in the Gazette so that people can learn from it, especially metropolitan areas with a population of over one million. They must learn a lesson from this case."

With the development of commodity economy, the population of Ming Dynasty was concentrating rapidly and rapidly. Urban management of metropolises became a difficult problem in the development of Ming Dynasty.

Health and hygiene are also one of the difficult issues in metropolitan management.
