Chapter 1343: A Matter of Nothing

"I was waiting for spring, but I accidentally entered here. Don't panic, old people, just take a look, just like you want to see what the palace is like, we also want to see what kind of life you live."

Fang Xing smiled and comforted, and then the respectful villagers beside him breathed a sigh of relief, and then the children dared to point and point at Wanwan.

"Pretty sister."

After Fang Xing finished explaining, Zhu Di was already talking with others.

"Is there meat for Chinese New Year at home?"

Older people are cautious, so he asked a young man.

The young man was wearing a patched cotton coat, his face was dark, his hands and feet were thick, and he looked like a worker.

"That adult...Old man, there is meat to eat, and he ate several meals."

Fang Xing couldn't help but twitch when Zhu Di was called old man.

"What meat?"

Zhu Di asked with a smile.

"It's pig...no, it's pork."

The young man wanted to talk about pork habitually, but seeing some majesty on Zhu Di's face, he quickly changed his words.

Zhu Di smiled and said, "How much money do you usually have at home?"

This is a bit taboo to ask, who would tell outsiders about their savings! Not to mention outsiders, even relatives.

The young man scratched his head in embarrassment, and was about to avoid talking about it, but when he turned his eyes, he immediately said: "Old man, the small family is... three pennies,"

Three strings of money, not too much, but not too little.

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "It seems that you haven't married a wife, so the money is definitely not enough to spend, what are you going to do?"

Fang Xing was holding a treasure note in his hand, only half of it was exposed.

Thanks to Xia Yuanji's luck, the big banknotes were finally changed to small ones, otherwise they would have to be rolled up, and no one would know what it was.

The young man's eyes turned on Fang Xing's hand, and he said with a naive smile: "Old man, I don't want to get married yet, I want to go to the city to see first, I heard that business is good recently, and I want to go, even if It’s okay to set up a small stall, and the family will also have more subsidies.”

"Who in that family farms the land?"

Seeing Wanwan looking around curiously behind Fang Xing, Zhu Di asked casually.

Although I don't know the denomination of that treasure note, it's always money! Still a huge sum of money.

"My father, and my younger brother."

Zhu Di nodded, and then asked the young man to take him to his house to have a look. Immediately, the villagers began to speculate.

"Mostly they are senior officials. They came down from the microservices to inspect. It's a pity they didn't come down when the grain was harvested, otherwise they could help us make decisions."

"That's right, he still looks like a good official, it's a pity."

These words were heard by the guards with good ears, and they remembered them in their hearts.

After some inspection, Zhu Di's complexion was neither good nor bad, and then he said he was going back.

Fang Xing quietly handed the treasure to the young man, seeing his ecstatic appearance and sighing inwardly.

All the way back slowly, the guards told Zhu Di what the villagers had said.

Zhu Di was speechless, just silent.

...

When he returned to the palace, Zhu Di immediately ordered people to investigate secretly, but the result was disappointing.

"The officials below are still using those methods to torment the common people. When collecting grain, the common people always have to pay more than 10% more. What do you think should be done?"

Zhu Di threw the question away, and then angrily drove these people away.

Zhu Gaochi was called, and when he saw the angry Zhu Di, he was scared to death.

"Tell me, what do your subordinates think about this matter?"

Zhu Gaochi stabilized as soon as he heard it, and quickly said: "Father, the administration of officials must be clarified. The Metropolitan Inspection Court and the inspectors and envoys of various places must be mobilized, and officials from all over the place must be mobilized to investigate and punish severely. "

Zhu Gaochi didn't mention Dongchang and Jinyiwei, Zhu Di's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't want to get angry anymore, he just waved his hand and drove away Zhu Gaochi.

...

"All ready."

When Fang Xing returned home, he only explained to Lao Qi Xin, and then went to comfort Zhang Shuhui and Xiao Bai.

"Does my husband dislike my concubine's lack of interest?"

Zhang Shuhui holds worry-free,

It looked a little resentful.

"The young master hasn't taken Ping An out for a long time."

Xiaobai became smarter, and used Ping An as a shield.

The two children were also a little depressed, and the opportunity for the spring outing just disappeared.

"Next time."

Fang Xing was thinking about something, so he said something casually.

Zhang Shuhui hugged Wuyou and said, "Wuyou, Daddy doesn't like you anymore."

Xiaobai picked up Ping'an, and said with a sad face: "Ping'an, your father despises you."

Fang Xing shivered violently, and then smiled: "What are you thinking, it's chilly outside this season, and when the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, I'll take you out for a spring outing. How about... we go in a few days?"

At least after coaxing the whole family, Fang woke up and went to the study.

Xie Jin has been quite proud recently, just because Yoyo is the closest to him now, Huang Zhong also echoed him a few words, and his face was flushed immediately, probably feeling that he is the happiest grandfather in the world.

Fang Xing waited for him to finish his complacency, and then told the details of today's trip.

"...Your Majesty must be dissatisfied with the rampant behavior of the petty official. Also, there was someone spying on the road, and it must be from Harleigh."

Xie Jin took it a little proudly, and said: "Rampant officials, this is an unavoidable thing in all dynasties, unless the censors are released in every place, and the integrity of those censors must be guaranteed, otherwise it is useless .”

Huang Zhong said with a smile: "This matter is not easy. If the law is strict, joint punishment, petty officials are corrupt, and superior officials suffer, it will be better. But this matter is not a one-day achievement, it depends on Your Majesty's will."

Regarding the administration of officials, Xie Jin used to be in the position of assistant, so it was a bit big and oversimplified. However, Huang Zhong was born as a petty official, and he was deeply troubled by this.

"Your Majesty is also quite helpless. Things that Emperor Taizu Gao couldn't stop are difficult for His Majesty today."

"Da Ming is undergoing changes, slowly but without stopping. Uncle, the Harlei people seem to be aware of your role in these changes, so be careful when you go in and out in the future."

Xie Jin also stroked his beard and said: "Those people are mostly hidden in the dark, but His Majesty doesn't like to move the mission. If he moves, he will force the mermaids in the dark to die, and there is no way to find them. Dehua should bring a few more steel plates for body protection." Bar!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Both Xie Jin and Huang Zhong burst out laughing.

When Fang Xing asked people to demonstrate muskets in the palace, for Zhu Di's safety, he took off the steel plate on his body and used it as a shield for Zhu Di, which has long been a drunk topic among many people.

Fang Xing said with a smile: "Great for life and afraid of death is a good name. As for Harlei people, there is enough for the old seven."

After Xie Jin smiled, he said worriedly: "Why don't you tell His Majesty, at least some guards will follow you."

Fang Xing shook his head and said, "It's unrealistic. If this is the case, those people will definitely stop. This is a stalemate and makes people irritated."

"Then lead the snake out of the hole?"

Huang Zhong's eyes flashed brightly, and he said: "Uncle, this time, I have to take it with me, and I want to see the methods of those Halie people."

Xie Jin also relied on the old to sell the old and said: "There is no need for the old man to take care of the academy. Dehua, the old man will also go."

Fang Xing said helplessly: "Forget it, the number of the other party must not be many, as long as you are careful, it will be no big deal."
