Chapter 344: The Opportunity Given by Zhu Yuanzhang! Japanese Traitors Appear!

Zhu Di arrived on horseback.

A group of people just watched. Ye Mao stuck out his butt and crawled on the loess road. "Your Highness, I have a few words from the bottom of my heart. I would like to have a private talk with Your Highness. Please give me a chance."

Jiang Jinzhong curled his lips.

When His Highness first came to Fujian, Ye Mao's demeanor was compared to this time.

It's really sad.

At first, he went to Fuzhou specifically to persuade Ye Mao to hold a grand blessing ceremony for His Highness.

He didn't even meet Ye Mao's face.

Still a fellow countryman!

Zhu Di looked at Jiang Jinzhong and said, "You go first, I will have a few words with Mr. Ye."

People passed by on horseback on both sides of the road.

He looked at Ye Mao coldly.

Zhu Di turned over and dismounted, and Ye Mao stood up. Zhu Di was shocked to find that Ye Mao was crying?

fear?

remorse?

…

He couldn't guess.

Ye Mao didn't bother to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes and hurriedly made a gesture of invitation.

When he arrived at the pavilion, Zhu Di saw several dishes and a jug of wine placed on the table.

He didn't refuse and sat down directly.

The tip of Ye Mao's hip gently touched the edge of the stone bench. After pouring wine for Zhu Di, he filled another cup for himself. He raised his head and drank it all. He seemed to have mustered up the courage and looked at Zhu Di, "Your Highness, this is what my father wrote to me. Your letter..."

With his hands trembling slightly, he handed the letter written by his old father to Zhu Di.

At first, I felt that my old father had been a farmer all his life and was ignorant.

Unexpectedly, in the end, I wanted to talk to this His Highness and beg him to let him live.

He actually had to rely on a few letters from his old father.

Zhu Di frowned slightly, although he didn't understand why Ye Mao showed him the family letter.

But he took it anyway, opened the letter and read it.

Ye Mao breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Zhu Di wouldn't even look at it.

While Zhu Di was reading the letter, Ye Mao spoke, "Your Highness may have known that I have something to do with smuggling by local powerful people. This time the Japanese pirates attacked Min County. Although it was not my idea and I did not instruct anyone to do so, I did Know it in advance and wait to see the prince’s joke..."

Zhu Di raised his eyelids and glanced at Ye Mao.

Continue to read the letter written by the old man of the Ye family to Ye Mao.

Unexpectedly, this peasant, who had become a prominent figure after the war in the late Yuan Dynasty, actually supported the construction of rural village communities.

Not that he was complacent about it.

I just think it’s rare that the old man of the Ye family has not forgotten his roots.

Moreover, even people like the old man of the Ye family support it.

This further proves that rural village communities can survive extensively on the soil of the Central Plains.

In the future, rural village communities will develop to a higher level.

As commodities become more abundant and the economy becomes more dynamic, perhaps some gentry will become supporters of rural village societies.

It's not impossible.

Rural village communities developed to a higher level.

This will ultimately make the pie of the private economy bigger, and everyone can reap benefits from it.

In the final analysis, in this world, we have to put aside our loyal and firm ideals and beliefs.

All support and opposition are based on interests.

"Your Highness, I have been the chief envoy and have been in charge of Fujian for all these years. Apart from accepting bribes from the gentry for smuggling, I have never oppressed the people on behalf of the gentry, nor have I taken a penny from the people..."

…

"I always remember that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, I couldn't survive. My brother and sister died of starvation and illness. I never dared to drink the blood of the people, but I was really poor and afraid..."

…

As Ye Mao talked, he risked his life and began to analyze his heart in front of Zhu Di.

After reading it, Zhu Di slowly put the letter on the desk and listened carefully to Ye Mao's self-analysis and self-criticism.

There are not many opportunities to understand the mentality of hundreds of officials.

…

"Your Highness, please give me a chance. I must take practical actions to do more practical things for the people!" After Ye Mao said the purpose of this, he stood up and knelt down beside the stone table.

Zhu Di stared at Ye Mao for a long time, "I will truthfully report your problem to my father..."

No matter what his attitude is towards Ye Mao.

He wouldn't even hide such a thing.

If you do it, it will bring a lot of trouble to yourself and their little family.

Ye Mao was trembling all over.

Zhu Di continued: "However, I will also advise my father to give you a chance. The reason why I give you a chance is for two reasons. Your father's profound righteousness, and although you are corrupt, you have not done anything to the people." It's a completely unconscionable thing..."

Corruption.

If you are serious about it.

Officials from all dynasties have been killed, and some must have been wronged.

But if you line up and kill every other person, there will definitely be a lot of fish that slip through the net.

Ye Mao's corruption is a kind of top-level corruption, which has little impact on the people.

Secondly, Ye Mao’s corruption stems from the maritime ban.

This matter itself has policy shortcomings.

It's better to use this to let Ye Mao do something.

For example, the construction of rural village communities throughout Fujian.

As long as Ye Mao is willing to work hard, it is entirely possible to achieve the position of chief envoy and take the lead in Jian'an.

He would not tell Ye Mao these thoughts.

But it will be mentioned in the note to the father.

If Ye Maoshang pleads guilty, he hopes to promote rural village communities in Fujian to make up for his mistakes.

He would suggest to his father to give Ye Mao a chance.

"I'm just a county magistrate. I don't have the power to punish you. Not to mention you, even the powerful Fujian tycoons have nothing to do with me..."

The same goes for the local powerful people in Fujian.

Kill these people.

Local unrest.

But if we take advantage of these people and ask them to cooperate in establishing rural village cooperatives and joint-stock business models, wouldn't the benefits be even greater?

If they don't cooperate honestly, then they can just kill them selectively based on the list provided by the pirate leaders.

The decision-making of superiors is never influenced by emotions.

It must be the result of weighing the pros and cons.

Doing so would be more beneficial to him.

It will also be more beneficial to the people of Fujian.

"You write your own apology letter to His Majesty. As for how to write it, it is up to you to decide. However, it is best to come from the heart. The main reason why I can give you this opportunity is because of the self-analysis you just made about me from the heart. ”

After saying this, Zhu Di stood up and walked out of the pavilion no longer.

Get on your horse and ride away.

Ye Mao sat slumped on the ground, raised his head, and watched Zhu Di leave.

Full of regret.

If, if only when this person came to Fujian.

If he explains his problems immediately, will it be easier to pass the test?

…

Two days later.

Zhu Di returned to Jian'an.

"King Yan is back!"

"I heard that King Yan wiped out eight thousand Japanese pirates in Min County this time!"

"Tsk tsk! Your Highness is really good at leading troops in battles, but I don't know what it would be like to be a county magistrate?"

…

With Zhu Di's return, people in Jian'an were talking a lot.

However, some changes have quietly occurred in Zhu Di's attitude.

That night.

After the whole family had a lot of fun together, the house became quiet as a group of kids went to rest.

inside the room.

Beside the desk.

The candles flickered.

Zhu Di went to the desk and wrote a memorial to Zhu Yuanzhang: ...My son thought that, like Ye Mao, if he could make a deep analysis and introspection before asking for guilt, and take the initiative to request the implementation of rural village communities in Fujian, he could be given a chance to reform...

…

This time, I will not turn over the goods worth two hundred thousand taels of silver to my father. My father should know that my father is very poor in Dongfang, so he should not care about this thing. My father should also see it. Not on...

puff!

At a certain moment, when laughter came from beside him, Zhu Di paused.

Looking up, he saw Xu Miaoyun standing nearby watching.

Xu Miaoyun pointed at the back part and said with a smile: "Father will definitely laugh and scold you when he sees this part at the back."

"Go ahead and scold me. Anyway, I kept the money." Zhu Di smiled and closed the folding book. It was very expensive for him to support a naval army.

Two hundred thousand taels of silver won't last long.

Sea trade must be started immediately.

When I came back today, I also met Shen Wang who arrived in Jian'an.

Shen Wang told him that the Shen family had been separated.

The business focus of Sanfang will gradually move to Jian'an.

What it means is very clear.

He immediately asked Shen Wang and his son to build an overseas trade team based on the employee-share system model.

Xu Miaoyun picked up the book and read the front part, and asked curiously: "Do you think my father will give Ye Mao a chance?"

This is the difference between Shiro and his father.

According to his father's past style, Ye Mao is most likely dead.

But Shiro was willing to give Ye Mao a chance.

Zhu Di spread his hands, "I don't know, but as long as Ye Mao can really make a profound analysis and take the initiative to ask for the implementation of rural village communities in Fujian, I hope that my father will give Ye Mao a chance. The world is as black as crows, and he can learn civil and martial arts and join the imperial family. Let me ask, in today’s world, which official is not greedy, and Ye Mao is already pretty good..."

Is it possible that if you change someone else, you can guarantee that you will not be corrupt?

People hate official corruption, but this problem has been around for thousands of years and there seems to be no solution.

Corruption for the country.

Just like cancer is to the human body.

It is difficult to cure.

Instead of thinking about how to cure the disease, it is better to think about how to live a healthy life with the disease.

Just like the flu, the initial fatality rate is terrifying.

But in the end, influenza does not affect people's healthy life.

For a country to discuss eliminating corruption, it is better to explore in this direction.

Ye Mao's current guilt has been pinned in the hands of his father.

From now on, as long as Ye Mao is not stupid, there is a high probability that he will work conscientiously as an official.

If so, it will be a blessing to the people.

If Ye Mao doesn't repent, he can just kill him.

Right and left, the knife is in your hand, why not give it a try?

If it succeeds, the people will benefit and the court will benefit.

Failure means nothing more than killing Ye Mao later.

"No matter, let the old man decide this issue." He just suggested. He didn't care whether Ye Mao lived or died. The old man could do whatever he wanted.

After saying that, he smiled and hugged the person in his arms, and glanced at the couch and the crib from the corner of his eye.

The two little guys have fallen asleep.

Interesting!

He asked with a smile: "During this period, Xiongying and his gang of naughty kids didn't worry you, right?"

Xu Miaoyun looked up with a smile, "The children are very sensible. I heard that you were fighting Japanese pirates in Min County. You were worried about me, so you helped me in everything, and even took the initiative to clean the house..."

…

The two chatted.

Only then did Xu Miaoyun realize that the conversation ended on the couch unknowingly.

…

Half a month later.

The letter describing the meritorious service and Zhu Di arrived in Jinling.

Royal study room.

"jerk!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang read the last part of Zhu Dixin, he couldn't help but laugh and curse.

After laughing and scolding.

He turned the folding book to the front again and read it carefully.

At first glance.

He wished he could tear Ye Mao into pieces right away!

That's just corruption.

At first, he asked the fourth son to go to Fujian, thinking that the fourth son would settle in Jiangning and be a fellow villager of Ye Mao.

Ye Mao would support the fourth son.

Unexpectedly, Ye Mao knew that the local tyrants were contacting the Japanese pirates, but he watched coldly for his own selfish interests! Acquiescence and connivance!

But after calming down.

He wanted to look at the fourth son's suggestion again.

According to his character.

Ye Mao must die.

But the fourth son's proposal also made sense.

Ye Mao's father was a farmer, but he had more conscience than Ye Mao!

…

After reading it several times, Zhu Yuanzhang closed the letter, leaned back slightly, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and picked up Ye Mao's apology letter.

Seeing that Ye Mao mentioned in his apology letter that he hoped to promote the rural villages in Fujian, and resign and return home after success.

His cold and hard face gradually eased.

He wrote: Approved! We will give you a chance to atone for your sins. When the rural villages in Fujian are built, resign and follow Zhu Di.

It's fine if he doesn't find out.

If he finds out, he won't tolerate Ye Mao.

In addition, the fourth brother also needs people around him.

The fourth brother can also control people like Ye Mao.

As long as Ye Mao follows the fourth brother, he can improve the local villages in Fujian, govern Fujian, the backward province of the Ming Dynasty, and make it rich.

He can give him a chance.

Bang!

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he threw the red pen on the imperial desk, and he always felt that he was not satisfied, "You have read so much! Your father is a farmer, but he has more conscience than you!"

...

In the twelfth month.

Ye Mao finally received Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions while waiting in fear.

After reading the receipt and instructions.

He immediately knelt down in the study room facing the direction of Jinling, crying loudly, "Your Majesty, I, Ye Mao, thank you for your grace! I will swear to be loyal to you until death!"

...

As Ye Mao was pardoned by Zhu Yuanzhang.

The Fujian tyrants who were worried about him finally breathed a sigh of relief.

…

Since Zhu Di returned to Jian’an, he took the Yellow Book and the Fish Scale Book and went deep into the rural areas of Jian’an under the guidance of Jiang Jinzhong and Jiang Youxiao.

He checked the current situation of each rural area in Jian’an in detail.

He kept running until the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, and then he set off to return to Jian’an County.

It was getting dark.

A dozen riders approached the county government office.

Zhu Di turned over and dismounted, and said, “Everyone has been running for more than a month, and it’s hard. These few days, go back and rest. On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, we will set off for Min County, and then take a boat to Jilong Island to celebrate the New Year. Anyone who wants to go can go.”

Jiang Jinzhong and others responded with a smile and left in a hurry.

Kobayakawa, Ono and others followed Zhu Di into the county government office and stopped in the front hall of the county government office. After they were taken back to Jian’an, they lived in the front hall of the county government office.

He saw Zhou Lang and Zhang Wu carrying two bags of documents and followed Zhu Di into the back house.

The five Japanese pirates withdrew their sight.

Ichiro Ono said with emotion: "I didn't expect that a prince could do so many things to build the rural areas of Daming."

During this period, they followed the fourth prince of Ming and did some chores.

I witnessed with my own eyes what this prince of Daming did.

Anyway, in their country, no one in the upper class is willing to do these things for the lower-class people.

Everyone is fighting.

Everyone thinks that the larger the territory occupied, the more wealth and strength.

No one makes a fuss on the existing land.

Try to make the existing land and territory richer.

Kobayakawa Nakaye nodded, "Daming's 'exile' of this outstanding prince to the sea is definitely a loss for Daming. Gentlemen, we are lucky to become the captives of King Yan. Perhaps, we can't change our country, but King Yan can help us!"

"Hi!"

After the other three left.

Ono frowned and stared at Kobayakawa Nakaye, "Kobayakawa-kun, King Yan helps us? What do you mean?"

"No meaning." Kobayakawa Nakaye smiled and turned away.

The Japanese rely on themselves.

It hasn't gotten better for hundreds or thousands of years.

If the King of Yan is willing to treat the people of Wa well, there's nothing wrong with being a subject of the King of Yan.

The King of Yan went to sea to develop.

Their country is inevitable.

Can those selfish guys in the country beat the King of Yan?

Of course, these words are not suitable to be said to Ohno and others now.
