Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 496
"good."

Zhu Cihong nodded, and cast a satisfied look at Qian Qianyi, "I have been thinking about it for a long time, but after thinking about it for a long time, many people still feel that they are not good enough for my sister Fu'er, so it is always difficult to make up my mind. Zuo Aiqing, yours I already know what I want, so don't worry, I will definitely choose a good husband for Fu'er."

After a pause, he continued: "You are not joking, Aiqing will not believe me, right?"

Got it!
Speaking of this, if Zuo Dayou insisted on asking the emperor to give an answer right now, it would be too much.

Zuo Dayou felt bitter in his heart, but he was also helpless.

As a father, he is really incompetent!
He kowtowed in thanks, "I dare not, I thank you on behalf of my daughter!"

"Okay, you're not in good health, go home and recuperate."

"Your Majesty, on the way here, I heard that Mrs. Zhou committed suicide. I want to visit Yingtian Mansion, can I?"

Zhu Cihong thought for a while, then nodded, "Sure."

Zuo Dayou left, but the officials and the people had not yet dispersed.Zhu Cilang looked around at his courtiers and said, "Zhu Aiqing, do you want to continue making trouble here?"

"Unless His Majesty takes back the emperor's orders, we will never retreat for the sake of the country and the country!"

"Ah."

Zhu Cihong smiled lightly, and said: "Then you all kneel down! Come on, show me the Taimiao! Is it possible for others to disturb the Taimiao and other places at will? If anyone dares to disturb the ancestors, they will die with the stick !"

Leaving those words behind, Zhu Cihong returned to the palace, ignoring the cries of the ministers.

Seeing that the emperor was still facing the Duke of Zhen, the common people stopped making trouble, but felt gloating.

"Look at them, to put it bluntly, aren't they jealous of Lord Zhen?"

"I see not only jealousy, but also fear! Who doesn't know that Lord Zhen is for our people, for the poor, and they are afraid that after Lord Zhen becomes the leader of Red Xiazi, he will reveal all their backgrounds, and in the end To be hanged!"

"Oh! How can I say that Lord Zhen has a heart of a Bodhisattva? She usually doesn't chop off people's heads, but leaves a whole body for them. This is really a heart of a Bodhisattva!"

"That's right! These scoundrels should have their heads chopped off, and they can only be headless ghosts underground!"

There were honest and upright officials in the Ming Dynasty, but they were far from being able to compare with those corrupt officials.Coupled with the low salary of the imperial court, it is difficult for many officials to resist the temptation. Corruption has further deepened, and the exploitation of ordinary people has become more severe.

In order to increase the revenue of the national treasury, the imperial court also set up random names and increased taxes, so some people in later generations said that the Ming Dynasty was an extremely greedy dynasty.

The common people gritted their teeth and could bear the tax increase, but things like hard labor often involved property infringement or even death.

If the local government wants to do business, it must recruit civilian husbands, and these are the obligations of the people.Not only do you have to bring your own dry food, but you also have to bribe the little officials, otherwise you will be killed every minute.

If a well-to-do family is assigned to labor, it may become abject poverty overnight, and there are a lot of people who sell themselves and their children. Therefore, the common people have hatred from the bottom of their hearts for these court officials.

This also explains why the people responded so positively after Zuofu set out the conditions for food in the local area.

After all, in the eyes of the common people, working for the government is a matter of course, but now they provide food and only need to work four hours a day. Where can they find such a good job?
The official who asked them to work and give them food must not be a villain, but a person who loves the people like a son, so there is no need to worry about the life of the family, the official will love them.

There was no comparison before, and everyone could only endure it.After seeing the lives of the people in Changzhou and Qiongzhou, these dissatisfaction accumulated in their hearts.

Now that scholars are taking the lead in making troubles, these people naturally expressed their dissatisfaction in their hearts.

From their point of view, if Mr. Xiaozuo wants to return to Beijing to become an official, he should simply be Tianfu Yin.With Master Xiao Zuo's ability and the foundation of the capital, within two years, they will not be able to live comfortably and fly?

Look at the people in the Jiangdongmen area, relying on the guards, how well are they living now?If Lord Xiao Zuo was in Yingtian Mansion, which bastard on the ground would dare to bully them?

Thinking of this in my heart, I couldn't help shouting out, "Duke Zhen is the Lord of Qingtian, and he should be the Governor of Tianfu!"

"Let Lord Xiao Zuo be the governor!"

"Let Lord Xiao Zuo be the governor!!"

The shouts became louder and louder, and Zhu Cihong, who passed through the palace gate, heard the shouts of the people, thought for a while, and suddenly felt that this was also a good choice.

If Kyoto is not as prosperous as Qiongzhou, then this is not justified.

However, Qiongzhou's current affairs are also very important, so I have to stay there until the term of office expires.

Whether it is to return to Beijing as an official or to be promoted to the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, you still have to follow the rules. After all, you have been promoted before.

Just thinking of Zuo Dayou's request, he felt a little gloomy again.To tell the truth, he didn't want her to marry, because the mere thought of her marrying someone else made him mad with jealousy.Moreover, Zuo Fu holds power unknown to the world. If this power is not in his own hands, he will always feel a little uneasy.

But if her marriage is delayed, I'm afraid it will hurt the old minister's heart.And Zuo Fu came back this time, obviously alienated him a lot, maybe she really didn't want to marry, but the right to marry or not should belong to her, not him.

It would be treasonous for other people to think like this, but when it happened to Zuo Fu, Zhu Cihong felt it was a matter of course.

She can bend and stretch, but the temporary tolerance is only to achieve more goals. In her bones, she is not a person who is willing to bow to injustice.

This, he felt when he got along with her at the Jiangdong guard.

In this world, authority cannot suppress such a person.Will people who only seek fairness be afraid of authority?For a person like Zuo Fu, only friendship can hold her.And if I don't express it anymore, I'm afraid she will become more and more estranged from me, right?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Sometimes he also wondered, if they had gone to sea earlier, would their children have grown up?
Then he laughed at himself again, feeling that he was sentimental.

Even if he did it all over again, as long as he had the chance, would he abandon his country and seek a beauty?
No, not possible.

How could I abandon my ancestors to choose the love of my children?So what's the point of such an assumption?

Putting all his thoughts behind him, he looked up at the sky, the sky became gloomy again, the wind was getting stronger, and it was going to rain again?
"It's a good rain..."

He murmured in a low voice, his eyes that were still full of warmth just now have become indifferent, "Gao Yong, send someone to the Imperial Food Department to make sea cucumber and millet porridge and send it to Lord Yasukuni."

"Yes, my lord!"
