Di Yusen naturally did not believe everything Liu Renxiang said.

Of course Liu Renxiang himself did not tell the truth.

Twenty-two years have passed and everyone related to Hu Xiang is dead. He is still alive. Who can identify him?

There is one thing that no one knows except Liu Renxiang now.

His ancestral home was Hangzhou. Due to the war, his family was destroyed and everyone was killed. He was the only one left alive, and he was only ten years old at the time.

He was starving to death, but he happened to meet Hu Weiyong, so he gave him a meal and did some chores.

Later, my uncle got in touch and left Hu Weiyong's place.

For Hu Weiyong, it was just a matter of convenience, but for Liu Renxiang, it was a blessing to survive.

When Hu Weiyong saw that he was still literate, he gave him a book so that he could study hard and serve the country.

From then on, he vowed to work hard.

God rewards those who work hard, and the stars are worthy of those who travel on the road.

Whether it is the children's examination or the provincial examination, he is always in the top three.

It was just bad luck that Zhu Yuanzhang canceled the examination that year.

In the capital, he did go to Hu Weiyong's residence, but not to seek an official position, but to study.

Naturally, there was no such thing as being kicked out of the mansion, but Hu Xiang told him to continue studying hard, and the imperial examination would be re-opened in the near future.

At that time, Hu Weiyong had too many things to deal with, so it was impossible to accept any students.

Although Hu Weiyong himself is somewhat talented, he did not undergo systematic study when he was a child, so there is no need to become a teacher.

Until, Hu Weiyong was sentenced to death.

'Teacher, he is not treasonous.'

Watching Di Yusen's leaving figure, Liu Renxiang's eyes turned cold.

Open your palms slightly and you can see the calluses on your palms.

He is not some incompetent scholar. He has learned martial arts since he was a child. Twenty-two years ago, after Hu Xiang died, he practiced even harder.

He is the only one living in the house, simply because the house is just his cover.

'Zhu Yuanzhang, I haven't been able to kill you this time, just wait, there will always be a chance.'

'But now that everyone has begun to doubt me, it seems that they have to calm down recently.'

'A gentleman's revenge is never too late in thirty years.'

Liu Renxiang also felt a little helpless. It was so difficult to assassinate him. It was impossible for him to conspire with others.

Especially among the people, he once made private inquiries and found that those so-called killers had rave reviews for Zhu Yuanzhang.

Besides, it is simply impossible to spend money to find an assassin.

What kind of price can someone pay to assassinate the Ming Emperor?

This cannot be done by one or two people.

Hou Zijian was his pawn, and he used Hou Zijian's loyalty to Jiang Xiahou to assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang.

'It's a pity that that waste is so useless. Even though so many people passed by, they didn't kill him or even hurt him.'

'Trash, all rubbish, the killer of Shanxi merchants, and he is said to be a dead soldier.'

Thinking of this, Liu Renxiang was so angry that his teeth itched.

Hou Zijian was a wave, and Shanxi merchants were an even bigger wave.

Over the years, Liu Renxiang secretly contacted all those who were dissatisfied with Ming Dynasty, but to no avail.

Taxes in the Jiangnan area are high, which means that officials and noble families have a strong foundation, can live comfortably, and have little courage.

It was because of last year's rumor case and His Highness Taisun's hunt for Shanxi merchants that he found an opportunity.

Unfortunately, in the end, it was all in vain.

'Zhu Yuanzhang, I'm not in a hurry. I'm only forty and you are sixty-six. When you die and the Ming Dynasty changes, it will be my chance.'

'A gentleman's revenge is not too late, ten to thirty years. Let's see how long you can live.'

'So what if I wait another ten years.'

'I want you to be under the Nine Springs, and you won't be able to rest in peace!'

Liu Renxiang's eyes slowly filled with hatred. In fact, he didn't expect so much. It was the changes in the capital that gave him a new height and the desire in his heart.

The more prosperous the capital became, the more unwilling he became.

He always felt that all of this was based on Hu Xiang's corpse.

'One day, I will make you pay the price.'

Liu Renxiang roared crazily in his heart.

After roaring, he closed his eyes tightly and opened them after a while, regaining his previous calmness.

In the days to come, he will completely forget what he has done before and work hard as the head of the official department.

....

The murder case in the capital and the assassination of His Majesty were quickly forgotten by the people in this rapidly developing era.

After all, these things are too far away for the people and businessmen living in the capital.

Every morning after opening the door, the money-loving oil and salt is what you need today.

In his previous life, Zhu Ying had heard about the art of controlling the people with thirty-three taels of silver. In fact, the current Ming Dynasty, under Zhu Yuanzhang's system, would also have this tendency.

This is stable for a dynasty.

But for this era, it is an obstacle.

The Renaissance in the West occurred in the fourteenth century. The so-called fourteenth century means 1,300 BC.

Today's Ming Dynasty is at the end of the fourteenth century.

This means that the germination of the Western Renaissance has begun.

An invisible civilizational competition between East and West has begun now.

Zhu Ying didn't know whether the Ming Dynasty would be able to continue to prosper a hundred years later, or whether it would continue for another two to three hundred years.

But even if the state lasts for two or three hundred years, what's the point?

Even without the Manchu Qing Dynasty, if the current system continues, the Ming Dynasty will be just another Manchu Qing Dynasty.

So, we need to change, we need to really change.

Only by rapidly developing industrialization can the national power of the Ming Dynasty continue to rise and avoid the recurrence of historical tragedies.

Thinking of this, Zhu Ying began to pay serious attention to the current factory development in Beijing.

Nowadays, the factories in the capital are basically controlled by the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, and Zhu Ying has begun to consciously guide the development of non-governmental organizations.

Zhu Ying also attaches great importance to the issue of workers' treatment.

Obviously, despite the regulations, those factories that opened still exploited people without conscience.

"How do they manage to get a monthly treasure banknote? Are they going to ignore the laws of the Ming Dynasty?"

"All officials involved will not be spared, and they will be investigated and dealt with strictly."

Seeing that Song Zhong handed over the information about the current trade union, Zhu Ying was furious.

He gave many instructions and instructions, just to ensure the treatment of workers.

At least the basic standards need to be given.

According to the current factory quota, even the cheapest monthly payment would require four guan of banknotes.

At present, food prices are relatively stable. A simple family of three needs about three guan banknotes for monthly rations. If there are elderly people, four guan banknotes are just right.

Of course, this is based on the situation where only one man can bear the burden. In most cases where fertility is encouraged, there are several children, and the elderly can share the burden.

Women can also do something to supplement the household income. In this way, each family will have a little surplus every month.

These surpluses are the foundation of a family. If you encounter any illness or the like, you don't have to worry too much.

The development of medicine in the Ming Dynasty is relatively reliable. The prices of many medicinal materials are very low. Even ordinary people can afford them at home and will not be easily ruined.

At present, achieving this level is already Zhu Ying's limit. This is because of the continuous development of high-yielding crops, which has solved the famine in many places and ensured the food and clothing of many hundreds of people.

However, a regular amount of money is not enough to support a whole family, even one person's rations are not enough.

"Your Highness, according to the current coordination of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the shopkeepers of those factories are actually paid the full monthly payment, but after this monthly payment has been paid layer by layer, there is not much left."

"But if you pay like this, the monthly payment will only be like this for half a year. After half a year, it will slowly increase back."

"After working for a year, the monthly money will become four notes."

Song Zhong added.
