Chapter 44 If you want to get rich, go crazy first!
"Go crazy first! Rush for money at all costs!" People.
"Fight it once..." Ouyang Lun.
"Three generations of rich people! Only by working hard can you not fail!" Common people.
"Start work!" Ouyang Lun nodded and waved his hand.
The common people were busy setting up stalls and opening shops as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood.
Only then did Ouyang Lun walk into the carriage with satisfaction...
The government office of Yong'an Prefecture is in Funing County, which is also a border town in the north, and further east is the Bohai Sea.
……
The wheel of time is rolling forward, more than a year has passed quickly.
That is, in the 13th year of Hongwu, it was winter and the new year was approaching.
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished processing the memorial, he walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and looked at the palace outside, covered with silver and snow, and there was still heavy snow in the air.
A chill came over my heart and body.
"Your Majesty, the weather is cold, please pay attention to the dragon body."
Wang Zhong covered Zhu Yuanzhang with a thick mink fur cloak.
Zhu Yuanzhang tightly wrapped his mink cloak and muttered: "It's really getting colder today!"
Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Ouyang Lun said more than a year ago, he has been uneasy. Especially when he looked at the heavy snow in the sky, his uneasiness became even stronger! Ouyang Lun! I don’t know how this guy is doing in Yong’an Mansion!
"Wang Zhong."
"The minister is here."
"Go and call Jiang Yu!"
"Yes." Wang Zhong hurriedly called for someone.
After a while, Jiang Wei, wearing a bright red flying fish suit, came in a hurry, "The deputy commander of the Jinyi Guards commanded Jiang Wei to pay homage to His Majesty!"
"How is the development of Jinyiwei now?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked while looking at the snowy scene outside without opening Jiang Wei.
"Back to Your Majesty, fried chicken restaurants have been opened all over the thirteen provinces of Ming Dynasty, and grilled fish restaurants are also under preparation." As if he realized that something was wrong with his words, Jiang Wei quickly changed his words, "Fried chicken restaurants and grilled fish restaurants are just With Jin Yiwei’s cover, every time a fried chicken restaurant or grilled fish restaurant is opened, Jin Yiwei will have one more stronghold, from which they can monitor the world!”
Fried chicken restaurant, grilled fish restaurant Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched, this was a little different from the Jin Yiwei he imagined!
When he first founded Jinyiwei, he never thought of recruiting new Jinyiwei members. The first test was whether they had the talent to make fried chicken and grilled fish. If they were as handicapped as Mao Xiang, then the fried chicken restaurant, The grilled fish restaurant is definitely one of a kind! Mao Xiang returned to the capital to report on his work more than half a year ago, and personally cooked fried chicken and grilled fish for Zhu Yuanzhang. After Zhu Yuanzhang ate it, he directly doubted his life and had diarrhea for several days at the same time. Mao Xiang was almost killed by Zhu Yuanzhang because of this incident. Cut.
Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Mao Xiang had both merit and hard work in establishing Jinyiwei, so he spared his life and imprisoned him in the sky prison.
After that, Jiang Wei was in charge of the Jinyiwei, but no matter how hard Jiang Wei tried, Zhu Yuanzhang failed to straighten him up, which made Jiang Wei very depressed.
As Mao Xiang was imprisoned in Tianlao, Jiang Wei was busy expanding the fried chicken restaurant, and Zhu Yuanzhang was also busy with other things, he paid less attention to Ouyang Lun. Now he doesn't know what happened to Ouyang Lun.
"Do you know how it is over there in Yong'an Mansion?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.
"Yong'an Mansion?" Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment, his mind went blank, "Your Majesty, nothing seems to have happened in Yong'an Mansion recently."
A trace of displeasure flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, "You go down." "Yes." Jiang Wei quickly retreated.
"Wang Zhong, go to Tianlao and call me Mao Xiang!" After Jiang Yu left, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered again.
"Yes." Wang Zhong stepped back.
Soon, Mao Xiang was brought up in prison uniform.
"The guilty minister Mao Xiang pays homage to His Majesty!" After being imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for half a year, Mao Xiang thought that he would never have the chance to see the emperor again in his life. Maybe today would be the day of his death.
"Mao Xiang, do you know your guilt?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.
puff-
Mao Xiang knelt on the ground, "I failed Your Majesty. The fried chicken and grilled fish I made hurt the dragon's body. I deserve death!"
Mao Xiang never imagined that failure to cook fried chicken and grilled fish would be so harmful to people!The key point is that this person is still the emperor. Although he is very unlucky, his death is not unfair at all!
If given another chance, he would never make fried chicken or grilled fish again.
"Let me ask you again, after Ouyang Lun becomes the prefect of Yong'an Prefecture, can you continue to watch his every move?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.
Hearing this question, Mao Xiang, who was originally frightened, suddenly felt that his opportunity had come.
"Back to your majesty, I dare not forget your majesty's order. I followed Ouyang Lun all the way to Funing County!" Mao Xiang said hurriedly: "Until he returned to Beijing to report on his duties, he knew every move of Ouyang Lun!"
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, "Oh, then tell me quickly, starting from when Ouyang Lun went to Funing County to take office!"
"Yes!"
Mao Xiang knew very well that as long as his answer could satisfy His Majesty the Emperor, then he might not have no chance of making a comeback. Prince Consort, Prince Consort, you have to protect me!
After sorting out his thoughts in his mind, he immediately said: "After Ouyang Lun received the order to be promoted to the prefect of Yong'an Prefecture, he did not go directly to Yong'an Prefecture to govern Funing County. Instead, he returned to Kaiping County first in order to pack up his belongings! "
"According to what Jin Yiwei who was present at the time saw with his own eyes, hundreds of wooden boxes were moved out of the Kaiping County government office."
"It's not all gold and silver, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang's expression condensed. He had not forgotten that Ouyang Lun also had the attribute of being a corrupt official, which was exposed to all ordinary people.
Mao Xiang shook his head, "I thought so at first. I specially arranged for people to sneak into the convoy and find an opportunity to confirm. They were all filled with calligraphy, painting, antiques, fine ceramics, etc., as well as some strange things, and even some I hear and see things that I have never seen, and I don’t know what their use is.”
Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "As long as it's not gold, silver or jewelry, will this guy not embarrass me once?"
"You keep talking."
"On the day Ouyang Lun left, the people of Kaiping County came to send him messages. Many people shed tears. The occasion was unprecedented."
This was not a surprise to Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, Kaiping County had organized tens of thousands of people to go to Beijing, which was enough to show Ouyang Lun's importance in the hearts of the people in Kaiping County. This was also one of the important reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang did not kill Ouyang Lun.
"Humph, this guy must be very proud of being sent off by so many people!" Zhu Yuanzhang said a little jealously.
Mao Xiang shook his head again, "Facing the people's farewell, Ouyang Lun did not show too much joy or excitement. Instead, he frowned. In the end, he led the Kaiping people to shout a slogan to end it all!"
"What slogan?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.
"If you want to get rich, you must go crazy first! Rush for money at all costs! If you fight once, you will be rich for three generations! Only by working hard can you not fail!" Mao Xiang shouted with an expressive expression.
Zhu Yuanzhang: Wang Zhong: . "Your Majesty, there is another half to this slogan." Mao Xiang.
