After some explanation, Zhu Ying finally understood what Yang Zhongkai meant by his support.
To put it simply, they want money.
The salary of the Juesheng Guard was entirely paid from the internal treasury, and this expenditure was not fixed. In addition to a basic salary, a part of the money was used to build the Juesheng Guard.
Unlike other guards, Juesheng Guard has more soldiers who are deaf and dumb, so more money and effort need to be spent on their training.
However, in contrast, the loyalty of Jueshengwei is very high.
They don't care about anything in the outside world and are only loyal to the emperor himself. Moreover, because they are deaf and dumb, it is difficult for outsiders to contact them.
After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the greatest contribution of the Juesheng Guard was to kill meritorious officials for Zhu Yuanzhang.
Others, even the Jinyiwei, were somewhat cautious and might even cause accidents.
After all, the power of these meritorious officials, such as Hu Weiyong, in the court was extremely strong. At its peak, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that others only recognized the prime minister and not the emperor.
If this is the case for a founding emperor, what about his descendants?
No matter how powerful Jueshengwei is, or how much of a hero he is, as long as the emperor gives an order, he must complete it.
Moreover, their actions will not be affected by the outside world at all. They just need to look forward after receiving an order.
In a world without sound, they only focus on the target they want to kill. Even if their teammates die tragically, they will not feel the slightest bit of emotion.
And now Yang Zhongkai's intention is to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to contribute some money to expand the scale of Jueshengwei and even open a school for the deaf and dumb.
Used to train the reserve forces of Jueshengwei.
Zhu Ying knew without thinking that the reason why Yang Zhongkai came to find him was most likely the old man's intention.
The old man doesn't want to take money out of the treasury, so he wants to pay for it himself.
However, Zhu Ying did not refuse this matter. Instead, he looked at Yang Zhongkai and said, "I will give you a sum of money and food every year to search for deaf-mute children, educate them, and open a school for the deaf-mute in places where there are Jueshengwei."
"It's just that I am not familiar with teaching the deaf and dumb. I can authorize you to recruit teachers who can teach and work in the school."
"The wages of the school teachers will be fully borne by the Chamber of Commerce under my command."
After reading the lip reading, Yang Zhongkai's whole body trembled with excitement. He made a humming sound, and then bowed his head, making a loud banging sound.
Zhu Ying wanted to say something, but then he remembered that the other person was deaf and dumb and couldn't hear his voice.
After Yang Zhongkai finished his kowtow, Zhu Ying said again: "I will pick a day in the next few days to go to Jueshengwei to take a look. Go and do it well."
Yang Zhongkai never expected that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be so easy to talk to, and would be so supportive just by listening to his purpose.
He even directly contracted the wages of the school for the deaf and dumb.
When he thought of the many deaf-mute children who would have the opportunity to study because of this, his gratitude towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was clearly revealed.
When a window closes, a door opens.
In fact, the achievements of most people in Jueshengwei, whether in study or other aspects, are because they work harder and are better than ordinary people.
Because when they are studying, they will only look at the books and will not be disturbed by external sounds.
Yang Zhong left happily and contentedly.
After that, Zhu Ying, dressed in ordinary casual clothes and accompanied Lan Yu, began to wander around the streets of the capital.
It was now dinner time, and the streets of the entire capital were filled with rich aromas.
The streets were quite crowded at this time, because many vendors from the outer cities and suburbs were starting to pack up and go back.
They had to get home before dark.
Because of night blindness, it is very easy to get lost after dark.
Zhu Ying took Lan Yu and slowly crossed three crowded streets before stopping.
"Uncle, but you saw something."
Zhu Ying suddenly asked.
Lan Yu was completely confused. He only knew to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and did not understand the meaning.
Zhu Ying did not dwell on this matter, but simply said: "At the left turn of the first street, there are several men dressed in short clothes. Every vendor who passes by will leave a certain amount of copper coins before leaving."
"That's the protection fee they need to pay. If they don't pay, they'll have thugs come over the next day to smash things up, and their day's work will be in vain."
"When we arrived at the second street, there were four or five beggars who were constantly stealing money from passers-by. We were their target, but they were probably intimidated by my uncle's prestige and didn't come over."
"The third street was filled with yamen runners from Yingtian Prefecture. They had just finished their meal and stood up to leave. Their movements were very natural and familiar, and they showed no intention of paying. The waiter saw them off and the shopkeeper smiled."
After saying this, Zhu Ying paused and said, "If this is the case in the capital, what about outside the capital? Are thefts more rampant, gangs more vicious, and yamen runners more arrogant?"
"Everything they have is built on the people. They suck the blood of the people and drink the flesh of the people."
"Even if I report it to the police, it will be useless."
"Maybe the gang will arrest a few minions to take the blame, but what follows is harassment every day. Not to mention beggars, who are provided with food after being arrested, so it doesn't matter at all."
"Do you think the people can feel safe in a capital like this?"
Zhu Ying looked into the distance and asked softly.
The gangs in ancient times were more terrifying and more brutal than those in previous lives.
Murder is also a common occurrence.
The more developed the economy, the stronger the gangs become.
If we really enumerate the interests involved, it would shock both the government and the public.
Lan Yu suddenly felt shaken at this moment.
Because from the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he felt the true compassion for the world, which truly placed his attention on the people at the bottom of society.
It seemed that there was a layer of rosy light surrounding His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he seemed to be extremely holy.
"Your Highness, I understand. Tomorrow I will summon all the officers of the Public Security Department and the Five Cities Military Department to rectify and reprimand them and eliminate the chaos in the capital. Anyone who defies the laws of the Ming Dynasty will be arrested and brought to justice."
Lan Yu said seriously.
Zhu Ying nodded and said, "We can arrest more. My factory is in need of personnel for construction. Anyone who has committed a crime or has a criminal record and is implicated should be arrested and sentenced to hard labor."
"Don't be afraid of the large number of people. Just follow the thread and arrest them. If there are a hundred people, arrest a hundred. If there are a thousand, arrest a thousand. No matter who begs for mercy, they will all be ignored."
"But remember one thing: you must not arrest civilians to make up the numbers. Those who are arrested at that time should be held accountable. If anyone is found to have arrested civilians to make up the numbers in the future, they will be dismissed and investigated and punished for the same crime."
"It's time to clean up these black sheep among the police."
…
In the Qianqing Palace of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Palace.
The news that Zhu Ying promised to support Jueshengwei soon reached Zhu Yuanzhang.
"We knew that our eldest grandson would be responsible to the end, but it was a little unexpected that he agreed to open a school for the deaf and dumb."
"What a bold idea! Wherever there are Jueshengwei, a school for the deaf and dumb will be opened. It seems that the Heroes Chamber of Commerce of Da Sun is still very solid."
After that, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Jiang Li again, "Did that old guy Yang Zhongkai write a letter to that old guy Lu Buxu?"
Jiang Li bowed and said, "Your Majesty, your majesty is very good at predicting things. Commander Yang wrote a letter as soon as he returned and sent it to Sandu."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Although Lu Buxu has hearing problems, he is quick-witted and talented. He is also our senior brother Bowen. We have called him to serve as an official several times but he refused. It seems that he should work hard for our grandson this time."
At that time, Liu He and Jiang Li exchanged glances for a moment, and then Liu He stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, how do you see this? Lü Buxu is already sixty years old, calls himself the deaf of Shigu Mountain, and has no interest in the government. I'm afraid he won't agree easily."
This is eye-opening.
Wouldn't it be awkward if no one responded when Your Majesty was speaking?
Liu He and Jiang Li will naturally help Your Majesty solve his problems.
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "You don't understand. Lü Buji is not concerned about the government, but this school for the deaf and dumb is a fatal blow to him. In the early Yuan Dynasty, Lü Buji was disliked by the Mongols, so he was determined to continue the sign language of the early Song Dynasty and find a way to make a living for the hearing-impaired people in the world."
"We have read his monthly manuscripts many times."
Lü Bujie has three representative works: "De Yue Draft", "Mu Po Draft" and "Li Tian Draft".
In the Ming Dynasty, literature is in decline and books are scarce, so their contribution is huge.
However, these three works did not pass down to later generations. Along with many classic works, they were destroyed by the traitorous writer Ji Xiaolan during the Qing Dynasty.
When Ji Xiaolan compiled the Siku Quanshu, he tampered with a large number of classics in order to please the Aisin-Gioro family.
Among them are the three works by Lu Buyong.
At this moment in the Chunhe Hall of the Eastern Palace, Zhu Yunwen, who had been busy all day, finally came back for dinner.
"Wen'er, are you tired?"
"Mother, it's not tiring. Being able to revise the laws of the Ming Dynasty is for the benefit of the people of the Ming Dynasty. My eldest brother said that this is a job of immeasurable merit."
"I'm glad you're not tired. I've noticed that you've lost a little weight in the past few days."
"Oh, mother, you don't know that when you need to learn something, you will regret not having read enough books. I usually think that I have studied the classics and have some knowledge, but it is really too difficult to revise the Ming Dynasty Law."
"But I'm not the only one. Even those in the Dali Temple who have been in contact with the law for a long time find it difficult to write."
While listening, Lu picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Zhu Yunwen's bowl, then said: "Since the revision is so difficult, why not invite more scholars to study it together?"
Zhu Yunwen said with rice in his mouth: "What's the big family? One or two people are useless."
After thinking for a while, Lu said, "Perhaps Xie Jin is a good person."
