Chapter 179 is to hit the emperor in the face

"The emperor toast? When did we businessmen and farmers have such great face? Just today, we have to brag about him for several lifetimes." Chen Zhizhong and the old farmer were tearfully scattered by Zhu Youlang. At this moment, the excitement was so much that they wanted to give their lives to the emperor, as if nothing but life could not express their gratitude.

"Your Majesty, for this expedition, the whole city's business community donated 200,000 taels of silver, and the villain donated 10,000 taels of silver. Without saying anything, just for the emperor's kindness to our businessmen, and the villain donated another 10,000 taels!" Chen Zhizhong drank wine, wiped his tears, and said excitedly.

"The villain is willing to donate again!"

The merchants behind him also felt honored and rushed to express their opinions.

"Okay, I have received the patriotism of the business community. I hope you will operate by law and pay taxes according to regulations, and your business will grow bigger and bigger." Zhu Youlang encouraged a few words with relief.

"Brother-in-law, what is your surname? Is your life good? How is the income in the field? Does the government charge you more taxes?" Zhu Youlang glanced at the old farmer who had been wiping his tears and asked.

"Reply... I replied to the emperor, my old man's surname is Hu, and his name is Hu Sanwang. Life is very decent, and the emperor is worried about it. Our rice is ripe four times a year, and now the tax is low. Besides this tax, there is no other tax. Every household has surplus grain. In addition to chewing, it can also sell some subsidies for household expenses." The old farmer wiped his tears and said.

"That's good. When we beat the Qing soldiers away, life will get better and better." Zhu Youlang encouraged Hu Sanwang.

"Your Majesty, you are so nice to our people. The young man lived in his sixties and had never seen such a good emperor to us farming. I have never heard of it. This is a blessing for the people of Guangdong. When I go back, the young man will join hands with the people and ask the village to build a temple for you." Hu Sanwang said excitedly.

In his heart, only by building a temple and burning incense and offering sacrifices can we express the gratitude of the people.

When Zhu Youlang heard this, he was shocked. He built a temple and shaped his own statue. The people went to offer sacrifices, burn incense and kowtow every day, and they were so scared that they thought about it.

"No, no, don't build a temple. My father-in-law, I don't like those who are empty. As long as we all have enough food and live a comfortable life, I will be very satisfied and happier than building a temple."

...

Wu Bing and Huang Zongxi watched the interaction between the emperor and the merchants and farmers, and each had their own feelings.

Wu Bing thought: "The gentry in Guangzhou is too ignorant to advance and retreat. When the emperor stabilizes the situation, you may be afraid that your good days will come to an end. Can't you see that the emperor has decided that the emperor has made the meaning of "no butcher Zhang, and no pig with hair"? Isn't it still good to leave you? The situation in the court is stable, and except for the officials who are a little embarrassed, it is not working as usual? They are really a group of brainless guys."

However, Huang Zongxi had a different feeling: "The focus of the emperor's new policy is to lay a solid economic foundation. Now it seems that agriculture, industry and commerce are stable, and the superstructure is as stable as a rock. Even if a small number of dissenters can no longer make a big wave. Today's events have proved that the new policy is so popular. The emperor's talent is unfathomable. This is the world that will not destroy the bright light, and a genius of eternity will be brought down to save the Han people."

In addition to these two people, Chen Bowen, Li Yuanyin, Bai Xing and Xing Xiaozao witnessed the scene in front of him, and they all looked at Zhu Youlang with extremely admiration, especially Xing Xiaozao. Looking at Zhu Youlang's handsome face, elegant figure, and elegant conversation, bursts of turmoil in his heart.

She remembered Li Zicheng and Gao Jie.

Li Zicheng can be said to be a talented and stubborn figure. He conquered cities and lands, and had few opponents in the world, and even once captured Beijing. But for Xing Xiaozao, his ex-wife, he didn't admire him very much. He always felt that he was cruel and ruthless and did not understand the style. Although he could manage the army, he was a mess.

The most obvious example is that the territory is often beaten, but like the Heixiaozi breaks the stick, he breaks one by one, and in the end there is no stable territory.

His second husband, Gao Jie, is handsome and understanding. He is a good couple in life and is brave in wars. However, his mind seems to be lacking in strings and always loses the chain at critical moments. He usually gives him some tips, but he won’t make a big mistake. But once he didn’t follow, the Suizhou change happened and lost his life.

"Compared with the emperor, those two dead ghosts are not a little worse." Xing Xiaozao sighed secretly, and then thought: "No matter what, the two dead ghosts have already been ordered to go to Jiuquan and cannot be pointed out. Only by holding the emperor's thighs can you find a good future for Jue'er."

...

In the crowd, there were two black-faced men. After witnessing the interaction between Zhu Youlang and the merchants and farmers, they whispered: "This dog emperor is accustomed to being foolish. When did Chen Zhizhong get on the table? There is also the mud-legged Hu Sanwang. I don't know who made him come up with. What do you know? Look at the five confused three ways..." said the taller man.

"The Dog Emperor's move is very powerful. In the future, the merchant and the farmer will really be on the same side as him." Another man was a little short and whispered.

"yes……."

"The Dog Emperor cut off our financial path, so he had to give him a look. It would be best if he could kill him, but he wouldn't plan to go on the sea like this."

"Yes, he was ruthless. More than 10,000 people rushed to escort him. If he didn't go to the sea, he wouldn't be able to start."

"Hmph, it doesn't matter. If you can't get rid of him, we can't get rid of the surname Chen and the surname Hu?"

"Old Xu, are you saying, let's make things worse for the dog emperor?"

"Yes. Aren't Chen Zhizhong and Hu Sanwang very proud? Then let him go to see the King of Hell tonight."

"Okay, a clever plan! I've hit the dog emperor in the face so much..."

"I just want to slap him in the face! I will also make the merchants and mud legs wake up, so don't think the emperor can protect them."

Seeing that the emperor's chariot had gone away, the two men were talking while hiding into the dispersed crowd.

...

After leaving the city, Zhu Youlang breathed a sigh of relief.

The weather in Guangzhou is very hot, and it is that kind of humid. In Zhu Youlang's opinion, the temperature in this life should be 5 to 10 degrees lower than that in later life. Despite this, a dragon robe covers himself tightly. In hot weather, it is undoubtedly the capital of Hubei Province - "covering sweat"!

Asked Li Hong to take off his dragon robe and put on a white cotton dress, a little eunuch knelt on the car and slapped his fan. The cool breeze hit and he felt dry and refreshed.

That night, I stayed in Dongguan.

As soon as he woke up the next day, Chen Bowen, the brother-in-law, came in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, Lord Qu sends an urgent memorial."

"Oh, what's so urgent?" Zhu Youlang couldn't help but feel strange when he heard this. Has something big happened just after he left Guangzhou?
