Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

"Lord Zhao, Yang Xian is the Jinshi selected by Enke when His Majesty founded the country. Lord Zhao can rest assured during this inspection trip."

The driver of the carriage is also the leader of the guards personally appointed by Zhu Chongba, Mao Xiang.

Zhao Zheng knew that it was true that he was the commander of his guards going to Yangzhou, but he was also the head of the spy placed by the emperor beside him. While protecting him, he was also used to monitor him.

Once the situation is not right, the shield is the knife.

"The imperial examination has not yet been officially restarted, and the candidates for Enke are not sent by the rich families from all over the country."

"Commander Mao, you guys who live in Jinyiwei, don't pay too much attention to appearances."

Zhao Zheng shook his head at him, expressing his disapproval of what he said.

The system has said that the Sun Moon Dynasty is the Great Ming of another world.

So although many people and things are different from the previous life, this place in Yangzhou is unusual in Zhao Zheng's memory.

Yang Xian changed his name, but not his identity.

"What does Master Zhao mean?"

Mao Xiang expressed his incomprehension, he didn't understand why he hadn't arrived in Yangzhou yet, why he didn't seem to be optimistic about Fu Yin Yang Xian.

"When you arrive in Yangzhou, you will know."

The official road was already the broadest and smoothest road in the Sun Moon Dynasty, but bumps were inevitable.

Zhao Zheng, who had never traveled far in a carriage, felt that his whole body was about to be shaken apart.

In ancient times, the only way to enjoy yourself is to be a rich man with idle fish.

It's really hard to be an official.

……

"My lord, Yangzhou is here!"

"Look! There are rice fields full of green ears hanging everywhere, which shows that Yangzhou has another bumper harvest this year!"

Mao Xiang is a Jinyiwei, and he doesn't know why he is so excited about the farming affairs.

Zhao Zheng got out of the carriage and looked at the rice fields, but he had another thought.

Yangzhou is a place attached to the capital, and it is also known as the first city on the canal. It is only common to want a good harvest.

But two years ago, because of the war, Yangzhou's population was less than one hundred.

Has it returned to this scale after two years?

"Master Zhao, now you can trust what your subordinates say."

The meaning of the emperor's order is to let him protect Zhao Zheng's supervision.

But in fact, he brought Zhao Zheng to Yangzhou to hide from the chaos in the court.

Through this journey, by the way, another layer of gold is plated outside.

Because the capital officials want to be promoted, it is a plus to have a resume of hard work.

Zhao Zheng is now the treasure in the hands of the emperor, and it is clear that he will reward him with great prosperity after returning.

In addition, Mao Xiang also admired what Zhao Zheng had done from the bottom of his heart, so he wanted him to relax and enjoy the journey, so that he could relax a bit.

But along the way, Zhao Zheng kept showing his distrust of Yin Yangxian, the governor of Yangzhou, which troubled him.

Now that the rice fields are in front of Zhao Zheng's eyes, Mao Xiang doesn't believe it, and he still can't convince him.

"Commander Mao, do you know why Shituoling is at the foot of Lingshan Mountain?"

"Yangzhou is also right in front of the capital, so don't be careless."

If it were someone else, he would have been convinced, but unfortunately, Zhao Zheng knew the truth.

Now it was Mao Xiang's turn to be confused.

There is no "Journey to the West" in this world, even if there is "Journey to the West", the person who wrote it has not yet been born.

"Master Zhao, what is Lingshan? Where is Shituoling?"

Mao Xiang felt that he knew a lot.

As one of the leaders of Jinyiwei that Emperor Zhu Chongba valued, so many secrets of the Sun Moon Dynasty were kept in his mind.

If there are no accidents in the future, he will always be in charge.

It's fine if you can't convince Zhao Zheng today, and you still don't understand the truth.

"Lingshan has merciful Bodhisattvas and Buddhas with immeasurable merits, and Shituoling has man-eating monsters all over the mountains and plains." Zhao Zheng explained patiently.

"Do the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in Lingshan not care?"

Mao Xiang was even more confused.

"The monster in Shituoling is the mount of the Bodhisattva and a relative of the Buddha. Who will take care of it?"

Zhao Zheng got into the carriage again, only leaving Mao Xiang with a meaningful smile.

No one who can become the leader of Jinyiwei will be a fool.

With just a flash of his brain, Mao Xiang figured out Zhao Zheng's metaphor.

"Could it be that Yang Xian really has a problem?"

Mao Xiang finally looked at the rice fields on both sides of the official road from the perspective of his Jin Yiwei.

Emperor Zhu Chongba trusted Yang Xian so much, so in the past Jin Yiwei didn't put any effort on him at all.

But now with Zhao Zheng's reminder, Mao Xiang immediately asked the two Jinyiwei in the guard to pretend to be businessmen on the road and explore the way first.

Arriving in Yangzhou Fucheng, Jinyiwei spies gathered.

Mao Xiangcai finally knew the true face of Yang Xian.

"Using the government's disaster bank to forcibly buy and sell the population of other places to fill Yangzhou, forcing the people to hand over all the stored food to the government for disaster relief, and transplanting seedlings from other places to plant only in the north facing the capital..."

The spy's information made Mao Xiang sweat all over his body.

Sure enough, Yang Xian lived up to Zhao Zheng's expectations, and he used the words "everything to the extreme" to the extreme.

Under the banner of the imperial court, they forced other places to buy and sell people to fill Yangzhou, so as to achieve the purpose of rapid population recovery.

When the disaster money was used up, the rations of the victims were forcibly collected, and then turned into rice soup for disaster relief, earning the illusion of saving money for the court.

The seedlings from other places were transplanted to the north of Yangzhou, which faces the capital, so when they came, rice waves stretched on both sides of the official road.

"Capital crimes! All capital crimes!"

"Forcibly buying and selling the relocated population, wouldn't that make other places a disaster place as well!"

"It's ridiculous to snatch the food from the victims and use it for disaster relief!"

"Transplanting seedlings, harming other land's harvest, only planting in the north of Yangzhou, creating the illusion of prosperity! Deceiving Your Majesty!"

Mao Xiang just wanted to take the knife now and chop off Yang Xian's dog's head.

However, Zhao Zheng, who had already guessed the truth, stopped him at this moment.

"This is the end of the matter. If you take Commander Mao to justice now, it will indeed relieve your anger, but will the people of Yangzhou be able to live a better life immediately?"

"Obviously not."

"And when the time comes, His Majesty is sure that Long Yan will be furious and carry out cleaning up and down in Yangzhou. The people will suffer again."

"Wait to send clean officials again, this year's autumn harvest is over, when will Yangzhou recover its prosperity."

Mao Xiang wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Zhao Zheng.

"Besides, it's not all Yang Xian's fault. Two years ago, there were less than [-] families left in Yangzhou City, but now, Yangzhou City is already [-]% prosperous."

"Using heavy codes in troubled times, in fact, if someone else does it, he may not be able to do it well."

Yang Xian is really eager for quick success, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal.

But he's also a real character.

In particular, he is Liu Ji's most valued disciple.

Two years ago, Yang Xian was recommended by Liu Ji to govern Yangzhou after being recruited by Enke.

Liu Ji misjudged him, but not misjudged him.

Because apart from his faults, Jin Yiwei's intelligence also included the story of Yang Xian doing everything by himself, and even going to the fields in person to cultivate with the common people.

It has to be said that the master and apprentice were completely carved out of the same mold. The master pondered the holy will and claimed to be a master, while the apprentice was eager for quick success and instant benefit, and did not compromise.

Teachers and apprentices are capable people.

But the current emperor Zhu Chongba is a master who can't tolerate sand in his eyes.

There is no such thing as offsetting merits and demerits with him.

You said that the merits and demerits are equal, right?

Others live without merit or demerit after offsetting it.

When you get to him, you can only chase after death.

Don't say that you are the son of a hero who founded the country, no matter how meritorious you are, you will be killed without fail.

Because in the eyes of the emperor Zhu Chongba, there are only the common people and the Zhu family.

Or to say that being an official under him is the most difficult.

"Then Mr. Zhao, who should this Yang Xian be?"

Mao Xiang couldn't understand why Zhao Zheng first said that Yang Xian did something wrong, and then said that no one would do it better than him.

Is this to kill, or not to kill?

"Your Majesty asked me to monitor Yangzhou to find and solve problems."

"After the people's livelihood in Yangzhou is completely restored, I will send Yang Xian to His Majesty before making a decision!"

Mao Xiang didn't know why, but after listening to Zhao Zheng's words, he especially wanted to applaud him.

"Are you the real one? If you send it to His Majesty, you will still be dead..."

He originally thought that Zhao Zheng would speak good words for Yang Xian, after all, the fault was true, but Yangzhou has indeed regained its vitality.

Guess what?

Today, as the commander of Jinyiwei, I met the Living Hades.
