"This... eldest grandson, is that all?" Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Xiongying, wanting to hear his next arrangements.
Unexpectedly, it ended just like that, and Zhu Xiongying immediately started waving people away.
As for Zhang Wei and the others, they couldn't leave at this time. It was obvious that Lao Zhu still had other excuses.
"Okay, let's get down!" Zhu Xiongying waved his hand and everyone got off.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Each of these people saluted and left.
"Dasun?" Lao Zhu didn't stop him. Instead, he looked at Zhu Xiongying and asked doubtfully.
"Haha, grandpa, as we said before, what the common people pay more attention to is this fun!"
"There is no doubt about my identity if I don't say it. Even if it is true or false, as long as they live a good life."
"Are they going to do anything?"
"It's like there's a different official above them. Will they pay attention?"
"Will not!"
"And now, as long as you tell them that someone is coming to ruin their lives, grandpa thinks, what will they do?"
"Besides, there are benefits to reporting like this. Will they not go?"
"They say the common people are ignorant. Yes, they have no knowledge, but they still understand how to treat them well!"
"So, as long as they can live a good life, they won't care about anything else!"
"What we need to guard against are those with ulterior motives!"
"And as long as our reward is announced, countless people throughout the Ming Dynasty will become our helpers!"
"These people want to cause chaos, haha, let's see how they can move!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Haha, okay, it's a good idea to use the vast number of people, great!" Lao Zhu said with a smile.
"However, it's just a small reward... Oh, by the way, we forgot about it!"
"Back then, let alone ten kilograms of grain, even half a kilogram, we could have survived!"
"This is the most important thing for the people!"
"Yes, this is enough to make the people take action, and when such news is passed on, hehe, they have nowhere to run even if they want to!"
"And it's not just that we can't talk about it in the future. Even in the past, ordinary people can think of who conveyed such news to them!" Zhu Xiongying said with a sneer.
"Dasun, if this is the case, it can easily cause confusion!" Lao Zhu frowned again and asked.
"Confusion?" Zhu Xiongying asked, frowning.
"Yes!" Lao Zhu nodded and said,
"In the past, many people were gossiping about this!"
"The news has been spreading for so long. If we report it like this, I'm afraid many people will suffer!"
“I don’t know how many people who heard the news were arrested!”
"And it's extremely easy to cause chaos in the countryside!"
"Well, if that's the case, some changes are indeed needed!" Zhu Xiongying said,
"In this way, if you have spread the news before, go to your yamen, or your own town mayor, village chief or other places to register!"
"And also tell where you heard the last rumor."
"If you can't tell the truth, you'll be fined three kilograms of grain!"
"It's best to find the person at the beginning. It doesn't matter if you can't find him!"
"Our purpose is to prevent rumors from continuing to spread!"
"From now on, we will arrest anyone who spreads rumors!"
"Okay, that's no problem!" Lao Zhu nodded and said.
"Well, if there is really any problem, let's continue to correct it and improve it!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Okay!" Lao Zhu nodded and said.
"Also, let all local officials and staff serve snacks, and be sure to let the people of Ming Dynasty know the news!"
"Tell them that I will arrange for Jin Yiwei or others to conduct an unannounced visit!"
"If there are places where people still don't know about it, deal with their local officials directly!"
As he spoke, Zhu Xiongying looked at Chen Ergou beside him and waved his hand.
Chen Ergou bowed respectfully and went to the General Affairs Department to convey Zhu Xiongying's order.
"Well, okay, our eldest grandson still has a way! Hahaha!" Lao Zhu said with a smile.
Time passed slowly, and the memorial from the General Affairs Department was also sent over. With Zhu Xiongying's consent, it was distributed throughout the Ming Dynasty.
Especially in places where rumors spread so much, the county magistrate called three elders from almost every village to inform them of the news.
In a village in Qingzhou.
After the three elders were called over, they were informed of the news by the county magistrate.
At the same time, the county also took action, posting notices and so on.
Looking at the large vermilion characters of treason on it, countless squires knew the seriousness of the matter.
One by one, they strictly ordered their family members not to spread such news, otherwise they would be kicked out of their homes.
After the three elders returned, they summoned the whole village,
"Listen, everyone, I went to the county seat today and the county magistrate gave me some news!"
"Just before, I don't know who spread rumors about the Tian family in the village. Is that something you can spread around?"
"Didn't you know that this one is going to be beheaded?"
Listening to what they said, the people below were frightened.
They were just chatting, how come they were connected with beheading.
"Ah? Chief, we didn't spread this randomly. It belongs to the old Liu family. She spread it!"
"What did I preach? I was also in the county seat and heard what others said!"
"It's yours, even if I behead you, I'll kill you too!"
"I...I will fight with you!"
Listening to these words, the headmaster felt his head grow bigger. He banged the copper basin and said,
"Okay, don't argue anymore. Forget about the previous spread. Let me record it here!"
"And you have to tell me where you heard it!"
"Also, what happened this time is very serious. If someone else spreads the news in the future and is reported, he will really be beheaded by then!"
"Also, if you hear anyone spreading it, you can come to me or go to the county to report it!"
"This time the court will reward the person who reported it, ten pounds of grain, one pound of salt, and thirty copper coins!"
"Okay, that's all for this matter. If anyone is still a tongue-tied woman in the future and is beheaded or reported, don't blame others!"
"Everyone go back!"
"Oh my god, don't talk nonsense about such a serious matter in the future!"
"That's right, let's see who dares to say it in the future!"
"Tell me, is there really someone you want to report?"
"Who knows!"
As they spoke, these people's eyes immediately began to move, and they stared at other people and listened to their words.
Thirty kilograms of grain, forget it, you still have money and salt, but these are hard to buy.
If there were really people, wouldn't it mean that they wouldn't have to work for a few months?
But there was a careless guy in the crowd, his eyes were rolling, and when the evening came, he went out with his wine.
The next day, he returned with thirty copper coins and half a catty of salt.
There are also two roast chickens and a jar of wine.
"Huh? San Shao, where did you get this?"
"You're not really going to report it, are you?"
Who doesn’t know who the people in the same village are?
How could a guy who idles around all day not pay attention to something now that he has so many things?
"Hey, I won't tell you!" With that said, Sansha went home directly with his things.
"Is this true? The court really gave money!"
"That must be true!"
"It just doesn't seem like enough. Didn't you say thirty kilograms of grain?"
"Yes, and a pound of salt!"
"Do you think the roast chicken and wine in the hands of the three fools are free?"
"I see, most of them were exchanged for those grains!"
"Hey, this prodigal son can eat food for several days. If he replaces it with other whole grains, he can eat it for who knows how long!"
"Hey, let alone food, even if it's something in the hands of the three fools, it's good to eat meat!"
"That's right, how long has it been since you've eaten meat?"
Seeing the proud look on the roast chicken and copper plates that San Sha was carrying, many people were a little jealous.
Soon...
In less than three days, the entire rumor was shattered and no one continued to discuss it.
Just kidding, all the jealous guys have very long ears now, just waiting for these people to say something wrong so that they can report it.
They now have to watch their mouths, even while sleeping.
Even beggars are staring at what those people are saying at this time.
There were even people who couldn't survive, so they just agreed to report their family members, and then they would get food to keep their families alive.
In short, the rumors were completely gone. It only took a month from their appearance to their disappearance.
In addition, it took nearly a month to deliver the news, which meant that it only took a few days to solve such a problem.
Now, they can see what the power of the Ming Dynasty is.
It's just that there is a vassal king who is still furious at this time. His plans have been in vain again...
