What surprised Yang Feng was that Wanli was already waiting for him in the small pavilion of Yuntaimen.

"Yang Feng, the grass man, have seen Your Majesty!"

He bowed perfunctorily and said.

"Bold, why not kneel?"

An old eunuch next to him was glaring and scolded him loudly.

"Well, Cao Min has a big edict on his chest, so there should be no need to kneel down, right?"

Yang Feng said.

While speaking, he looked at Wanli with inquiring eyes.

His Majesty the Emperor is indeed quite fat, but it is still different from the late stage of obesity. I can only say that he is a relatively ordinary fat man, fair and clean, and his appearance is quite good. In fact, his ancestors must not be a shoe-horned face. Even if the shoe-horned face is really diluted by generations of beauties over the years, he will still be handsome enough.

As long as the imperial family is not inbreeding, it is inevitable that the better it looks.

As for those who cannot be humane, it is another matter. After all, their selection of concubines is narrow. Just look at the photos of palace maids in the late Qing Dynasty and you will know that it is actually good to grow like him.

But the concubines of the Ming Dynasty are really national auditions.

Wanli looked at him expressionlessly, and Yang Feng also looked at the emperor without hesitation...

"If you don't kneel down, don't kneel!"

The emperor said slowly.

Yang Feng immediately straightened his waist and looked at both sides instinctively, but found that he was not ready to sit. However, there was no seat on the right platform. Usually, the emperor sat down with the minister.

"Are you a businessman in Liaodong?"

Wanli said.

"Go back to Your Majesty, that's a lie, Caomin is actually a fugitive."

"You are honest."

"I dare not bully you before His Majesty, but Caomin's ancestors were military households who followed Taizu to conquer the world, and they were indeed from Liaodong. When Caomin was young, his grandfather said that he was from 30,000 wei, but because of the bullying and exploitation of the generals, he fled, so he lived in the mountains and forests and made a living by trading from Kaiyuan to the Ye Jurchens. Therefore, Caomin called himself a merchant.

But there is no business registration, and there is no way to guide you. Along the way, they all rely on their good martial arts to cross the pass. Because they are good at learning accents from all over the country, they rarely encounter inspections."

Yang Feng said.

The road sign is not used within a hundred miles, so as long as the language can match, you will not be able to check it.

This story...

It’s just a casual compilation. What can Wanli investigate?

There will be no problem if you check it.

There are 30,000 guards, that is, Kaiyuan. The 30,000 guards and the Liaohai guards are in Kaiyuan City. It is true that the 30,000 guards have fled in large numbers. Kaiyuan City is the main commercial center for the trade between the Jurchens in the pass, and those military households who cannot survive under the exploitation of military officers have fled in large numbers and then mixed into the surrounding Jurchen tribes.

You have to live!

The generals of the Ming Dynasty, especially those in Liaodong, where the emperors are far away from the sky, dare to torture the military households to death!

Their purpose is to force the military households away, and then directly embezzle the land of the garrison, and then to the court to ask the new military households that passed through the pass. The newly moved without land or the production that could support their own land, so they could only serve as tenants for their family. Moreover, the newly moved did not know what the past was like, and they would squeeze them as much as they wanted, and they would not have to be afraid that these people would sue them. So, are there any other choices for the old military households who could not survive to join the Jurchen tribe?

Not only Liaodong, but also Yunnan and Guizhou in the southwest. During the She'an Rebellion, more than half of the generals under She Chongming were all Han people.

Where do they come from?

All of them were unable to survive in the surrounding garrisons and fled to his military households. These people were loyal to him and fought for him. A lot of people who fought to the death were so cruel that the Ming generals could not accuse them of betraying the Ming Dynasty.

It is absolutely reasonable and impossible to investigate Yang Feng’s identity with such a person.

"So you are thinking about restoring the Taizu system?"

Wanli said slowly.

"Yes, the ancestors of Caomin followed Taizu, so they remembered Taizu's goodness.

In the past, Caomin didn’t understand it, but now after reading Taizu’s Great Prize, I realized that what Caomin’s ancestors said was indeed true. Caomin wandered around the inner and outer gates over the years and saw more and more things. Now, looking at this Daquan, I feel that it is really impossible to suppress the world without Taizu’s rules.

Can Your Majesty know why Caomin insisted that Caomin go out to meet Caomin and others?"

Yang Feng said.

"explain."

"The Caomin asked His Majesty to go out and ask the boatmen who followed the Caomin, and ask what they had encountered to such a point?

Don’t they know that following the grass-roots people is going to take the risk of beheading?

But they still came, and they also wanted to ask Your Majesty why they wanted to let those corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry make them difficult to survive, like wild weeds, and you should go to those women who don’t even have clothes, even in winter, and look at the children who starve to death every winter to bury the wilderness.

Don't they want to live like a person?

But your country has no place to make them live like a person!

You are singing and dancing in this palace to peace.

But your people are eating grass.

They are really eating grass, who are not living by those poor people?

Ah, maybe some people will say it is wild vegetables.

But aren’t wild vegetables and weeds the same thing?

And what are the rich people eating?

Yangzhou salt merchants need hundreds of sheep to hold a banquet. These hundreds of sheep are just one dish, because this dish only uses a small piece of meat on the sheep's mouth. They believe that the meat in other places is filth that cannot be swallowed, and only this piece of meat can be eaten.

So they used hundreds of sheep to prepare this dish to satisfy their taste.

While eating grass, she was sitting on a sheep.

This is your country.”

Yang Feng said.

"How can you blame Long Sui Ye? Businessmen do business and get rich, not by killing people and robbing people. If you earn some good money, will you still need Long Sui Ye to stop him?"

The old eunuch said angrily.

"Then your Majesty was called Zhang Siwei before, and the largest salt merchant in the Ming Dynasty was called Zhang Sijiao. Is this just a coincidence in the name? Gentlemen from all over the country, lying that the Taizu system did not pay taxes, but forced poor peasants to pay various harsh taxes. It is their ability to use military households as slaves in various places? It is also their right to force the generals in the Beijing camp to release usury and force veterans to retire. It is legal to force usury to retire. The generals in the border town deduct military pay and manage their military salaries from the governor to the minister, and to silence the meritorious soldiers. It is also right to slaughter the soldiers because they collected money. Because they did not report, they not only took the initiative to accuse the soldiers of war, and then mobilized the army to try to continue killing people and silence them?"

Yang Feng said, and simply raised the big edict hanging on his chest...

"Your Majesty, then now you think that you really have no responsibility to make the world come to this point? As the emperor, he allowed officials, gentry, fish and common people to be like a commoner, just sing and dancing in the palace and ignore the flood outside. Do you dare to say that you have the face to face this great edict?"

He sneered.
