"The common people obey the decree."

The corners of Liu Rixin's mouth twitched and he bowed.

When he heard about the mausoleum, his heart palpitated, and he immediately understood that he might have died here.

but,

Zhongshan seems to be a treasured place for Feng Shui, and it would be nice to die there.

At least it can bless future generations.

Thinking of this, Liu Rixin suddenly felt that the future was promising. He was not young anymore, and it would be great to be able to enjoy the dragon energy of the emperor after his death.

Liu Rixin once secretly calculated that the Ming Dynasty had at least three hundred years of national destiny.

From this point of view, one's own descendants can continue to live on forever.

At this moment, Liu Rixin suddenly became happy.

What an honor it is to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.

He felt that his whole body was full of energy.

After Liu Rixin left, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order to Jiang Yu: "Inform the Qintian Supervisor and arrange for a few people who know Kanyu to accompany him for inspection."

"In addition, Jin Yiwei will monitor closely. The key points must not be missed and recorded in detail."

"I obey the order." Jiang Wei bowed and said.

It was a matter of imperial feng shui. Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang would not just hand it over to Liu Rixin.

It would be bad if he really wanted to manipulate her in secret.

With Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicious temperament, not only did Qin Tianjian and Liu Rixin have to supervise each other, but Jin Yiwei also had to keep detailed records.

After the decision was made, Zhu Yuanzhang had to find someone to double-check it. If he felt that there were no problems missing, he would let it start.

It was at this time that there was a famine and too many refugees came.

Zhu Yuanzhang happened to summon thousands of people to solve part of the disaster.

Don't underestimate these thousands of civilians, they seem to be a drop in the bucket for so many victims.

It's actually very useful.

First of all, the victims of the disaster are not single individuals, but their families. Behind a civilian husband, there are often several members of the same family.

Even three thousand civilians can solve the feeding problem of tens of thousands of disaster victims.

...

Early the next morning, Zhu Ying was still having breakfast in the teahouse.

Uncle Zhang hurried up the stairs.

"My boss, something serious has happened."

Zhu Ying frowned and said, "Why are you so flustered? Sit down and talk."

Uncle Zhang took a breath and said hurriedly: "My boss, our caravan was robbed sixty miles away from the capital."

"Robbery?" Zhu Ying put down the breakfast in his hand and asked a little strangely: "Is there anyone who dares to rob near this capital?"

"For things like this, just report it directly to the official. What's the big deal?"

Zhu Ying was speechless. The Ming Dynasty was currently ruled by Zhu Yuanzhang, during the Hongwu period.

There are relatively few violations of law and discipline, and many people are relatively restrained.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang never showed mercy when he killed people.

It may be worse in distant areas, but around the capital, if you dare to rob, wouldn't you be eating the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage?

"My boss, it's not actually robbery, it's just that our goods were taken notice of and were bought and sold by force."

Then Uncle Zhang paused and said hesitantly: "It was just a conflict with the other party."

Hearing this, Zhu Ying asked: "Which of our caravans is in trouble?"

Uncle Zhang thought for a moment and replied, "It seems to be a caravan coming from the desert."

Zhu Ying was stunned.

From the desert?

Of course, Zhu Ying knew the power of his subordinates.

That group of caravans in the desert, said to be caravans, are actually all strong men.

Basically, he does business without capital. He takes an empty convoy for a walk in the desert, usually fully loaded, and then sells the goods.

Thinking of this, Zhu Ying couldn't help but ask: "How many people are there on the other side."

"One hundred people."

"How many of us are there?"

"Thirty people."

"Then what?"

"The other side was captured."

After Uncle Zhang finished speaking, he hurriedly said: "My boss, this is the capital. Now, the leader of the caravan doesn't know what to do. There are a hundred people, and they have all been kidnapped."

"Master, what do you think of this?"

Zhu Ying was a little embarrassed.

Only then did he realize that what Uncle Zhang said was not good. It turned out that his caravan had captured others, and now he didn't know what to do.

If the government is alerted, there will definitely be big trouble.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Ying asked: "Have you been interrogated? Where did these people come from?"

Uncle Zhang replied: "After review, it is said that these people are from Lanjiazhuang, and they are the adopted sons of Lan Yu, Duke of Liang."

Zhu Ying felt helpless when she heard that it was Lan Yu's adopted son.

As the Duke of Liang, Lan Yu was a famous general in the early Ming Dynasty. He was extremely famous even in the desert grasslands. Of course he knew some of the information.

Lan Yu likes to have adopted sons, and it is said that he has as many as 800 adopted sons.

With eight hundred adopted sons, Zhu Ying felt that Lan Yu could not even remember the names of her adopted sons.

Lan Yu himself was arrogant and domineering by virtue of his military exploits, ignoring the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention occupying the people's land in Dongchang, even if the censor came, he would be pushed back forcefully.

After the death of famous generals such as Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu was a rising star, especially after the victory in the Battle of Yuerhai, he was canonized as the Duke of Liang.

After Lan Yu's victory, she felt proud of herself and had reached the pinnacle of her life.

When returning from the northern expedition to the south, he arrived at Xifeng Pass at night. The official guarding the pass failed to open the door in time to admit him, so Lan Yu sent troops to destroy the pass and broke in.

Others said that he had an affair with the concubine of the Yuan Lord, which caused the concubine of the Yuan Dynasty to commit suicide in shame.

Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to make Lan Yu the Duke of Liang. Because Lan Yu had these faults, he changed the word Liang to Liang and ordered people to engrave these faults on the hereditary certificate.

Lan Yu refused to correct her mistakes, and at the celebration banquet, she even uttered wild words after drinking and was lawless.

Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded him many times, but he still refused to change.

"Lanyu seems to be quelling the chaos now, right?" Zhu Ying recalled for a while and asked.

"Yes, boss."

"On the first day of April, Lan Yu, Duke of Liang, went to Handong. On the second day, Yuelu Timur, commanded by Jianchangwei, rebelled and was defeated by Lu Yi, commanded by Lu Yi."

"On the 27th, the governors Nie Wei, Xu Sima, and Qu Neng attacked Yuelu Timur."

"On May 1st, Lan Yu arrived at Handong. The rebels fled and gathered troops to build a prosperous city and control the armies."

Uncle Zhang replied.

If outsiders heard these words, they would definitely be shocked and shocked.

It seems like simple intelligence information, but it is Ming Dynasty's military secret.

However, Uncle Zhang could explain it in detail, and he was obviously very familiar with it.

Zhu Ying was not surprised when he heard this.

Although his power is mainly spread in the Western Regions, deserts, and grasslands, the border areas of the Ming Dynasty.

But with his money-making methods, no matter the cost.

An underground intelligence network has been laid throughout the entire Ming Dynasty.

Most of them are petty officials, and even some officials reveal information inadvertently without knowing it.

Zhu Ying is well aware of the usefulness of information, and there are many hidden hands involved, not just simple infiltration.

For example, the lover of a certain official, the waiter of some restaurant, including the coachman of some wealthy and noble families.

In fact, Zhu Ying sponsored a group of literati to study and provide them with brainwashing education.

Become a scholar, obtain an official position, and then have an affair.

With Zhu Ying's help, these high-ranking officials naturally achieved very good political achievements, and their reputations spread far and wide.

This involves some subtle operations.

A good reputation is very useful in any era.

It's just a pity that the Jinyiwei organization near the capital is too strong, and Zhu Ying has never intervened.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Ying said coldly: "These adopted sons of Lan Yu are all arrogant and domineering, bullying the village, and it would be a shame not to die."

"Send the order and kill them all on the spot. There is no need to come to the capital afterwards. Hand over the goods and disperse them back to the desert."

"Yes, boss."
