Nanjing Desheng Building.
This is a restaurant that has been around for quite a while. These days, Deshenglou is quite lively, mainly because many people gather here to comment on people and current affairs.
Now that the situation is so serious, many people want to get some news, and many people also want to express their opinions in Desheng Building, so quite a few people gathered here.
Of course, most of them are scholars. Ordinary people can’t even get in, let alone talk in Desheng Building.
Whoever holds the right to speak has the right to speak.
There was a joke in later generations: some people were discussing democracy. After someone pushed the door open, one person shouted, "What are you doing here? We are discussing democracy."
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao believed more in another saying: the stronger the power, the more democratic it is; the longer the range, the more freedom it has; the larger the caliber, the more justice it has; the thicker the armor, the more human rights it has; and the larger the tonnage, the more equality it has.
Sitting upstairs and ordering a table of food and wine, Zhu Youxiao drank while listening to the noisy conversation in the restaurant.
"Extra number! Extra number!"
When people heard someone selling newspapers outside, chaos broke out and many people ran out to grab the newspapers.
People of status have their men going to rob, and they are listening here.
Soon, a newspaper was delivered to Chen Hong.
Although Zhu Youxiao did not give any orders, the people below still brought the newspaper up in a timely manner.
After taking the newspaper, Zhu Youxiao quickly opened it and took a look.
It's been a while since I've looked at this stuff. I did, in my previous life, but then things got smarter and smarter. With phones, people stopped watching TV, let alone reading newspapers. With the information explosion and the chaotic news, a lot of things are no longer credible.
This newspaper is very trustworthy because it is an official newspaper published by Zhu Youxiao.
Although it is mostly used for publicity and is targeted, everything on it is true.
The first page introduces Chen Sihai's life, describing his hatred of evil since childhood and including numerous short stories.
For example, when Chen Sihai was young, he wanted to study medicine but was persecuted by corrupt officials. As a result, Chen Sihai felt that studying medicine could not cure corrupt officials, so he turned to literature and began to study hard.
Later, he not only passed the imperial examination and became an official, but also realized his ambition. After becoming an official, he was even more fair and strict, hated evil and was not afraid of danger when investigating cases. It can be said that he was a very good example of an official.
At the same time, the first edition also introduced some of the things that happened when Chen Sihai presided over the major case in Nanjing.
Turning to the back, there is another page. The back is about some corruption cases that broke out in Nanjing, but the other page is about the corruption case of Nanjing's Minister of Finance.
What this guy, the Nanjing Minister of Revenue, did was to lend money at high interest rates, and he used the money in the Nanjing treasury. It can be said that he was getting something for nothing. He used the money in the treasury to lend money at high interest rates, and then collected the money and paid it back. The interest went into his own pocket, which can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
At the same time, this Minister of Revenue also privately minted coins, secretly casting officially approved molds.
For a crime like this, it's no surprise that he was dragged out and beheaded.
At this moment, everyone had finished reading the newspaper and suddenly became noisy, with curses everywhere.
Zhu Youxiao looked over, then hesitantly turned to Chen Hong and asked, "Those are your people, right? Why, are you so short of manpower now?"
Chen Hong, who was standing next to Zhu Youxiao, was also a little embarrassed.
Those people were his people. You have to know, given the current situation in Nanjing, basically no one dared to speak out. Even if they wanted to speak out, they wouldn't dare gather together to discuss current affairs in such a high-profile manner. This would be a suicidal act.
Although there is such a demand, at most it is just private communication and secret complaints.
Anyone who dares to open a restaurant like this and do such things must have a background.
Of course, even with a powerful background, they wouldn't bother with this kind of trouble. After all, Chen Hong is a professional at this, so you can imagine how many water armies are lying in wait here.
The main role of these people was to promote the justice of the court's actions, the emperor's wisdom, Chen Sihai, and, by the way, to criticize those corrupt officials and those unkind businessmen.
Then promote the benefits of doing so, what benefits the people of the world can get, what benefits the officials can get, and what benefits the businessmen can get.
In a word, after this purge, the whole world will benefit, so let those people die.
Today they started another performance with very angry expressions.
Zhu Youxiao saw the man's ferocious expression, trembling muscles and body shaking, and he was so angry that he
Those who knew him knew that he was angry, while those who didn’t thought he was having a seizure.
Looking at the man next to him, his eyes were fixed, and he was biting his back teeth hard. If he bit any harder, he might have bitten his teeth off.
Zhu Youxiao even suspected that he had broken his teeth.
What an acting skill!
Zhu Youxiao really didn't know how to comment on this. Embarrassed was not enough to describe it.
Zhu Youxiao turned to look at Chen Hong and said, "Have you always used people like this to serve me?"
Although it does have some effect normally, if all the people are like this, Zhu Youxiao has to doubt its effectiveness.
Chen Hong felt very bitter and said quickly, "Your Majesty, that's not the case! Although we have brought some people, we are still short of manpower."
