The miserable Magistrate Shi ate fresh millet for a quarter of an hour and foamed at his mouth.

At this moment, County Magistrate Shi wished he could eat Xiang, not this kind of thing. At least Xiang was soft and easier to eat than this stiff millet...

All the people watching were shocked. The emperor's punishment was a bit harsh!

In the end, Zhu Cilang was kind-hearted and spared the magistrate. After all, he was a local parent, so he still had to keep some face.

Staci was grateful when he was right away and praised Zhu Cixuan with a solid cultural foundation.

The awareness of being an official is generally very high. In the afternoon of the same day, the Ji County Government posted a notice overnight, and the Magistrate Shi personally wrote the article and apologized to the people of the county.

Of course, this was the last notice he posted as an official. After thanking him for his crime, he would get rid of the fine and soft work. He was dismissed from office and never hired.

Since then, the story of "Tianwu feeding food to cure greed" has been widely circulated in Ji County and talked about by people. Zhu Cilang's reputation among the people has once again increased.

After dealing with this matter, Zhu Cilang issued an order to report the matter to the public and notify the whole country to attack officials from all over the country.

He once again strictly prohibited officials from disturbing the people, prohibited officials from collecting various taxes privately, and repeatedly warned local officials: "You cannot do anything to bury the people!"

At the same time, Zhu Cilang deeply reflected on the tax policy and thought about how to innovate the tax system to avoid the people being exploited.

"Xu Sheng, send someone back to Beijing and let the cabinet and the Ministry of Finance discuss a plan!"

The court is not Zhu Cixuan alone. Such major issues that concern national economy and people's livelihood are naturally required to be done by cabinet officials, otherwise what is the use of them?

The evil trend of the officialdom like the slightest kicking hu is involved in the interests of thousands of officials. Zhu Ciyang also wanted to test the attitudes of the court officials. Is it important to be personal interests or the interests of the people? How important is the weight of the people in the hearts of these officials?

In mid-March, Zhu Cilang entered Luoyang Prefecture and inspected people's livelihoods from county to county, especially the construction of official roads and schools.

During this period, he met many people carrying grain, rice and beans on their backs. Weirdly, Zhu Cilang asked his entourage to ask.

After inquiring, I found out that the villagers said that this was preparing for the emperor's arrival.

It turned out that after the news that Zhu Cixuan punished the magistrate in Jixian County, officials from Luoyang Prefecture predicted that the imperial guards would pass by Luoyang, so they made preparations in advance.

Zhu Cilang was a little unbelievable and worried that the local officials would take the opportunity to plunder the common people, so he sent the Jinyiwei to investigate.

Fortunately, the officials of Luoyang Prefecture were very honest and did not do such a thing as waiting. They were worried that the imperial car would not eat enough, so they bought some food and beans from the people, not from the people.

At the Xieguan Pavilion thirty miles away from Luoyang City, the Luoyang Prefecture brought a large group of officials to welcome the emperor.

Zhu Cilang frowned and went on a tour in a small way. Unexpectedly, these officials had a more agile nose than dogs, and they actually discovered them.

Zhu Cixuan summoned the prefect and said, "All royal travels are solved by the inner treasury of the inner court. Local officials should not interfere in these matters in the future, let alone let the people prepare anything, and do such a thing that disturbs the people!"

The Luoyang prefect was so criticized that the cold sweat broke out. He nodded repeatedly and patted his chest to ensure that this would never happen again in the future!

Zhu Cilang set an example and tried to avoid disturbing the people every time he went out. In history, Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River, which was exhausting the people and causing money, and spent a lot of money, and corruption became a trend.

When officials flattered and praised the new Tianwu policy, Zhu Ciyang said: "I don't have any novel tricks to govern the country. I just put national interests and people's livelihood first, and really care about the interests of the people. That's all, you should guard one side on behalf of Tianmu, and you should be a parent in this way!"

His words aroused many praises from all the officials, and they all expressed their opinions on the spot, and they must abide by the holy will.

Zhu Cilang was speechless. This kind of flattering official style is not short of any era and cannot be eliminated.

But as long as they can do practical things, just flatter them, and the words of officials are also quite nice.

......

On April 9, the tenth year of Tianwu, the Ming Ocean Fleet entered the Atlantic Ocean near the Strait of Gibraltar.

On the vast sea, the Ming fleet was sailing like a giant dragon.

Wu Zhong stood on the deck of the flagship, looking at the huge fleet behind him and the vast sea in front of him, and his heart was filled with excitement.

After ten months of sailing, the fleet finally arrived in Europe!

He knew that at this moment, he had created a great journey that could be comparable to the great achievements of the Three Treasures eunuch!

Wu Zhong felt: "Thank you, Emperor Tianwu, for giving our family this opportunity to be famous for all eternity!"

Over the past ten months, Wu Zhong's fleet has visited the ancient countries that the Ming fleet has arrived along Zheng He's route one by one.

But after more than two hundred years, things have changed. Most of the overseas countries that were originally close to the Ming Dynasty have become colonies of the European countries!

The only thing that remains unchanged is that there are many pirates along the way.

Most pirates still knew it. When they saw the Ming fleet's strong ships and cannons, hundreds of ships came, and they all gave way with great cognitive salute.

No matter how fierce the pirates are, no matter how big their business is, they have to weigh their own weight when facing the vast Ming fleet.

This principle has long been remembered by many wise robbers from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.

But in this world, there is never a shortage of mentally retarded and hot-headed people. There are a few broken ships who think that they have mastered the aircraft carrier formation and can sweep the sea!

When the Ming fleet passed by the Indian Ocean, there was a group of pirates who didn't know whether they had drunk fake wine or what happened, so they wanted to attack the fleet and do a big deal.

As a result, they just approached the Ming fleet in the dark, and were bombarded by the alert fleet and did not even have the chance to float in the sea of ​​corpses.

Of course, the Ming fleet did not please any benefit. These pirates didn't even have a treasure map or something. They were all poor. No wonder they took the risk and robbed the fully armed Ming fleet.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhong smiled relaxedly. It was good to have guns and cannons, and it was very pleasant to do it!

Suddenly, a flying scissor ship came, and the Ming general on it shouted: "Sir, the outpost ship found a fleet ahead, and was attacking us!"

Wu Zhong was surprised: "Oh? Fleet? Could it be some pirate who is blindly eyed?"

He did not dare to be careless and ordered: "Prepare for the enemy!"

"Prepare for war!"

Faced with the emergencies, the fleet's early warning sounded, and various gongs and drums were ringing rapidly. More than a dozen escort warships were in an emergency to fight, and several flying scissors shuttled through the enemy with their maneuvers and speed to report on the enemy's situation.

"Note! Targets ahead, battleships! Three ships! Distance, five miles!"

"Three more battleships and five more were found!"
Chapter completed!
