    "If you want to die, I won't let you die!" Ding Yunyi said with a smile.

    Fan Wencheng didn¡¯t understand what he meant. Ding Yunyi smiled slightly: ¡°Really, I really won¡¯t let you die, and I want you to watch with your own eyes that the people you work for die in front of you one by one!¡±

    Fan Wencheng's expression changed.

    Watching the people you work for die in front of you one by one?  Fan Wencheng knew that this was the most painful thing. He gritted his teeth and cursed: "Ding Yunyi, you are a devil!"

    "Isn't there something fresh?" Ding Yunyi didn't care what others scolded him for: "I will still take good care of you so that you can't die even if you want to. Do you believe it?"

    Do you believe it?

    Ding Yunyi didn't care whether he believed it or not, and then turned his attention to Lu Yanhan: "What about you? Why do you want to be a traitor? What is the problem between you and me?"

    "You robbed my wife." Lu Yanhan said very calmly: "I know that Deng Lianyu was given to you by Deng Muzhi, but you still robbed my wife. There is no greater hatred than the hatred of robbing my wife. Do you think I will  Not your enemy?"

    Ding Yunyi thought about it carefully, and then nodded: "It makes sense. If someone robs my wife, I will fight him to the death."

    Ding Yunyi's attitude surprised Lu Yanhan, and he calmed down: "Ding Yunyi, you are willing to say this frankly, I thank you very much. I heard that you trust Deng Muzhi very much, and you know what kind of person Deng Muzhi is.  ?"

    "He should be a good official who wins the hearts of the people."

    "A good official? Is Deng Muzhi a good official?" Lu Yanhan sneered: "King Wu Lie is so famous that he can be blinded by others!"

    Ding Yunyi became a little curious: "Tell me carefully how I was deceived."

    Lu Yanhan still kept sneering: "Deng Muzhi is basically a ruthless dog official. It's just that he hid it deeper than anyone else. My father had a child marriage with his Deng family before, but he regretted it after the collapse of my Lu family.  .

    He told what happened one by one, and Ding Yunyi frowned. He thought that Deng Muzhi was a rare upright official, but who would have thought that it would be like this.

    If this is true, then he has indeed been deceived by Deng Muzhi. Such an official would not be unjust even if he was killed a hundred times and a thousand times.

    ?Perhaps personal abilities are really limited.  .  .  .  .  .

    Ding Yunyi thought for a long time before he said slowly: "I will investigate Deng Muzhi's matter. If it is true as you said, I promise to give you justice. However, no matter what the reason, nothing can change the fact that you are a traitor.  Essentially. Lu Yanhan, go die in peace."

    Lu Yanhan bowed deeply to Ding Yunyi and said, "King Wu Lie, please treat Lianyu well."

    After saying that, he turned back and walked outside.

    "Lu Yanhan does have something worthy of sympathy, but he still became a traitor. This is something that no one can change."  From the moment he saw Lu Yanhan, Ding Yunyi had made up his mind to kill him.

    It has nothing to do with women, it just has to do with things he has done.  .  .  .  .  .

    Bumubutai witnessed all this with her own eyes. She saw how Ding Yunyi dealt with Fan Wencheng, and also saw how Ding Yunyi dealt with Lu Yanhan.  Now she had to think about herself and Fulin.

    How will he deal with himself and Fulin?  Bumubutai didn¡¯t know.

    Ding Yunyi¡¯s eyes finally fell on them.  .  .  .  .  .

    Bumubutai couldn't help but pull Fulin towards him.  And her action was not hidden from Ding Yunyi. Ding Yunyi smiled and said: "If I want to kill Fulin now. Do you think you can protect him?"

    Bumubutai remained silent.

    Ding Yunyi can kill anyone, and no one can stop Ding Yunyi from killing.

    Bumubutai¡¯s eyes showed pleading: ¡°Please keep Fulin¡¯s life. No matter what you want me to do, I will agree to it.¡±

    Ding Yunyi didn¡¯t answer anything.

    He had already thought about how to deal with Fulin, and he would never leave Fulin as a scourge.  Of course, this will have to wait until the Manchus are pacified.

    ¡°Moreover, it must be done without leaving any flaws.  .  .  .  .  

    Beijing.

    Ding Yunyi finally returned here again.

    A familiar yet unfamiliar place.  Here, Ding Yunyi's prominent career began, and here, Ding Yunyi began his most glorious beginning!

    And now.  Maybe another glorious period will begin again.

      Ding Yuanzhao also returned to the capital. To his surprise, his wife Ding Chen Wanhe was not dead!

    Ding Chen Wanhe was brought by Ding Yuanzhao's son-in-law Wang Qingheng. When Wang Qingheng saw Ding Yunyi and Ding Yuanzhao, he fell to his knees on the ground and cried loudly: "Father, King Wu Lie. I finally met him."  It's your turn! The thieves came to Beijing, burned and looted, and I had no choice but to attack the city. I finally found an opportunity to kill the thieves.

    He rambled on, and he was talking about nothing more than his own merit.

    Ding Yunyi knew that Wang Qingheng killed Li Zicheng, and Wang Qingheng still had some credit for this.  Ding Yunyi was about to speak when he suddenly heard Ding Chen Wanhe say loudly:

    "My son, don't believe what he says!"

    As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked. Wang Qingheng was stunned. After a while, he said calmly: "Mother, haven't we already agreed?"

    Ding Chen Wanhe sneered: "If I hadn't promised you on purpose and said I would keep your secret for the sake of my daughter and grandson, how could I have exposed you, a thing with a human face and a beast's heart!"

    As she spoke, she loudly said: "Xiang Wen, this beast shamelessly surrendered as soon as the thief entered the capital! Not only that, your father ran out of the capital under the holy order, and this beast also identified him in order to please the thief. If it weren't for  How could this put your father in a desperate situation?"

    Ding Yunyi looked at Wang Qingheng coldly: "Mother, how did you know."

    "Those thieves and bandits went to his home every day, saying that he would sell out his own father-in-law for glory and wealth. You beast. You beast, even thieves and bandits would look down on such a person!"

    Ding Yunyi breathed out softly: "Brother-in-law, eldest brother-in-law, I have two brothers-in-law, one is you, and the other is Ye Yuanxuan. Usually you always say how cunning Ye Yuanxuan is, and how honest you are.  But when the intruder came, you two behaved very differently. What should I do with you?"

    "King Wu Lie, King Wu Lie!" Wang Qingheng was so frightened that he trembled all over: "That day, I was really helpless. Father, father, I beg you to forgive me!"

    There was no anger on Ding Yuanzhao's face, he just let out a long sigh: "Wang Qingheng, if you only want to harm me, maybe I will forgive you, but what I carried with me that day was the late emperor's secret edict.  Then! How can I forgive you for betraying me?"

    Ding Yunyi held his chin and thought for a while: "Go and call my sisters and brothers-in-law."

    Wang Qingheng just knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move.  .  .  .  .  

    Ye Yuanxian, Ding Biyue, and Ding Biwei stared blankly at Wang Qingheng kneeling on the ground, never expecting that he would do such a thing.

    Ding Biwei knelt down next to her husband: "Xiang Wen. I know that your brother-in-law has done something wrong to the Ding family, but I beg you, please spare your brother-in-law this time. Give up his official position and let him be a common citizen.  , I beg you, for the sake of your sister, please let your brother-in-law go."

    "Xiang Wen, please let the eldest brother-in-law go." Ding Biyue also begged.

    Ding Yunyi didn¡¯t say a word, and still looked at everyone with his chin in his hand.

    "Brother-in-law, how could you do such a thing?" Ye Yuanxian suddenly sighed: "King Wu Lie, Wang Qingheng cannot be spared!"

    With one word, the room fell into silence. No one expected that Ye Yuan would say such words.  Wang Qingheng and Ding Biwei were even more stunned.

    Ye Yuan just pretended not to see their angry looks: "Although the capital has been recovered and the Jinlu have been defeated, the world is still far from being settled. Everyone is looking at the capital, everyone  Everyone is looking at King Wu Lie. Every move of King Wu Lie will have a great impact. Even if the prince breaks the law, what will the world think of him?  You, how can you regain the broken hearts of the Ming Dynasty? Ye Yuan was brother-in-law with Wang Qingheng, but he asked King Wu Lie to kill Wang Qingheng to bring peace to the world! Tell everyone in the world that this is the fate of those who bow down!"

    "Ye Yuanxian, you are a beast who is adding insult to injury!" Wang Qingheng finally couldn't help but cursed loudly.

    Ding Yunyi still didn¡¯t say a word.  .  .  .  .  .

    Zhang Pu had been listening by the side, and at this time he couldn't help but said: "What Mr. Ye said makes sense, but although Wang Qingheng can be killed, it is also true that Li Ni Zicheng died in his hands. This may be  I will make up for my fault and ask King Wu Lie to think again."

    "It's true that Li Zicheng died at the hands of Wang Qingheng, but the merit cannot offset the crime!" Ye Yuan was a little unusual today, and he bit firmly and refused to let Wang Qingheng go: "??In this case, those officials who broke into Beijing after the intruders could more or less say some of their own merits, can this also be used as an atonement? Can this be the same as Wang Qingheng?  Once this precedent is established, chaos will inevitably occur. Where is the law that King Wulie said?  Where is the justice?  Those people would not forgive Wang Qingheng because of meritorious deeds. They would only wonder if King Wu Lie was acting for personal gain!  "

    Ding Yunyi breathed out a sigh of relief.  Ye Yuan's performance today was indeed a bit strange.

    He thought for a while and said, "Come here, please imprison Wang Qingheng first. The specific disposition is to be discussed. You all should go down first. Ye Yuanxian, you can stay here for now."

    After everyone left, Ding Yunyi asked slowly: "Why do you have to kill Wang Qingheng?"

    "It's not that I must kill Wang Qingheng, but that the prince has made up his mind to kill Wang Qingheng." Ye Yuanxian said calmly: "The prince hates unfaithful and unfilial people the most in his life. Besides, when the prince returns to Beijing this time, he has already prepared to kill them as a warning to others.  Get ready. Who is this? It must be Wang Qingheng. If the prince can kill his own family members, who else can't kill him?  Justice doesn¡¯t dare to show favoritism. However, if the prince wants to kill Wang Qingheng, he will be criticized for being cruel, regardless of family ties, etc. If that¡¯s the case, then let me do it!¡±

    Ding Yunyi smiled, every word Ye Yuan said spoke to his heart.

    Ye Yuan was really smart at first, and he could see what he was thinking at a glance: "Brother-in-law, there are no outsiders here, don't call me every prince. Now that the capital has been liberated, what do you think we should do in the appointment of officials next?"  Do?"

    Seeing that Ding Yunyi would no longer talk about Wang Qingheng's affairs for the time being, Ye Yuan turned around and said, "Xiang Wen, actually you already have an idea in mind. I also know that you are planning to overhaul the officialdom and even reverse the official system that Ming Dynasty left.  , I think the Ming Dynasty¡¯s official system is deeply rooted, starting from the bottom. How are you going to change it?¡±

    "What kind of deep-rooted method?"

    Ye Yuan thought for a while and said: "I just talked about the bottom layer of the word, let's start from this bottom level. Our Ming Dynasty has a reserve warehouse for storing grain, and the person who looks after the reserve warehouse is called the old warehouse guard. The normal operation of the reserve warehouse is closely related to the warehouse guard.  The elderly are inseparable. The elderly have been engaged in grassroots management throughout history. In order to strengthen the grassroots management of the township, the Ming Dynasty implemented the elderly system, which means to select people in each township who are honest and respected by the people to manage the township affairs.  The selected people are over fifty years old, so they are called old people or lilao, including water conservancy old people, warehouse old people, Muduo old people, Ji old people, floating bridge old people, etc.  They are spread across the grassroots, and these elders vary from place to place.  They are established as needed and are all semi-public servants.  The reserve warehouse was unique to the Ming Dynasty. After that, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty worked hard to manage it and gradually formed a complete management system in terms of grain accumulation, grain distribution, disaster relief, review and assessment, etc. It was even more unique in terms of specific operations and personnel settings.  Characteristic.  The reserve warehouse is privately run under government supervision and is established at the grassroots level in local villages. The elderly system is adopted in the management of the granary.  Government officials coordinate the overall situation and lead the planning, while the old warehouse keeper takes care of the grain and presides over the collection and delivery.  A situation has been formed in which government officials and old warehouse keepers work together and assist in the management of warehouse administration.  Among the management personnel of the reserve warehouse, provincial-level officials are mainly responsible for supervision, and state and county-level officials are responsible for organizing the construction and raising purchase funds. The specific supervision, purchase, care, and release are all handled by the warehouse keeper and the bucket level. The division of labor is clear.  , each perform their duties and jointly maintain the normal operation of the reserve warehouse.  "

    After a pause, he continued: "The old warehouse keeper is called the warehouse old man, the old man in charge, the warehouse man, the earth warehouse official, etc., and he belongs to the official service. In the Ming Dynasty, the collection of taxes and levies was based on the amount of grain, and the old warehouse keeper generally came from  The elderly are usually elected by the people and then appointed by the government. In terms of storing grain, the reserve warehouse is used for famine relief and disaster relief.  The basic guarantee is to have sufficient grain storage. Therefore, the old warehouse keeper needs to help the government raise money to fill the warehouse. In good harvest years, they receive money from the government to buy grain.  During the year, grain is distributed according to orders. In terms of taking care of the grain in the warehouse, the main responsibility of the old man is to organize the winnowing and drying of rice to prevent rot, and to keep a close watch to prevent fire, theft, and damage from rats and birds. Many of these tasks require fighting.  level of participation and cooperation.¡±

    Ding Yunyi listened very carefully, and then listened to what Ye Yuan said:

    "In terms of grain distribution for disaster relief, the distribution of grain from warehouses is an important manifestation of its role in famine relief. According to the Ming Dynasty disaster relief procedures, after a famine occurs, local officials must clearly fill in and report the name of the affected household, the number of fields, the cause of the disaster, etc.  Grain can only be released after waiting for approval. Because the local officials are "far away", they have to rely on the old warehouse guards. They are familiar with the situation in the countryside and the severity of the disaster.  To truly maximize the role of the reserve warehouse in famine relief, we must ensure that the grain is distributedGive it to those who need it most.  As a result, the Ming government stipulated different relief methods according to different disaster situations.  Taking the Yongle Dynasty as an example, free relief will be provided to those who suffered serious disasters, that is, those who suffered eight to ten points of the disaster; for other minor disasters, they will be treated as interest-free loans, that is, the original amount will be returned to the official afterwards.  In this regard, the old warehouse keeper needs to check the severity of the disaster, distinguish between the rich and the poor, and keep a register to prepare for assessment and recovery.  In the implementation of disaster relief and food distribution in accordance with the law, the role of the old warehouse keeper cannot be underestimated.  In order to encourage the elderly warehouse keeper to perform their duties conscientiously, they are given a salary, which is called industrial food bank.  However, the overall amount of industrial silver is very small and varies in different regions.  For example, in Changde Prefecture, Taoyuan County, Longyang County, and Yuanjiang County in Hunan Province, the fee is 5 taels per person per year, while in Yuezhou Prefecture, also in Hunan Province, the fee is 4 taels. As a auxiliary level, the industrial and food silver is generally higher than  Old man Cang is one or two short.  Of course, if the old warehouse keepers neglect their duties and cause the warehouse grain to rot or be in short supply, they will often be responsible for compensation, and some even lose their homes or go bankrupt as a result.  but.  "

    When it comes to the word "but", Ye Yuan changes the subject:

    "However, any system has its advantages and disadvantages. There are also some disadvantages when the old warehouse keeper participates in the management of the reserve warehouse. Favoritism and fraud and theft of warehouse grain often occur. Taizu Yili, the boss of the old family, was in charge of the reserve warehouse and served as the director of the grain.  The original intention of accumulating and distributing grain was to use their familiarity with local conditions to ensure that the grain was used to provide relief to those most in need. Later, the local bosses used their rights to take care of grain and declare poor households to commit adultery, cheating, and infringement.  Stealing grain."

    Speaking of this, he asked calmly:

    "If the old man who keeps the warehouse is like this, what about our officials of the Ming Dynasty? King Wu Lie is going to deal with it this way? Should he follow the old practice, or should he completely overthrow and rebuild?"

    Ding Yunyi was silent again.

    Yes, what should we do with so many officials?  According to his vision, he wanted to overthrow everything and start over, building a brand new system according to his own ideas.  However, will this encounter fierce opposition?

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????  And can the current Ming Dynasty still withstand great changes?

    But if the old system remains unchanged, then where is the future of Ming Dynasty?
