The Most Corrupt Person in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang Begged Me on His Knees to Ascend the Throne

In the seventh year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Yuanzhang took Empress Ma and others to the dock of Ninghai County incognito. I was shocked to find that many officials and wealthy businessmen ignored the sea ban policy and took luxury flower boats to go to sea. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and got on the flower boat all the way to Zhoushan. Zhu Yuanzhang and others were amazed by Zhoushan's asphalt roads, the city that never sleeps, commercial streets, residential areas, and factories of all sizes. New terms such as coupons, pole dancing, buses, milk tea, fast food, dance halls, orphanages, pensions, public medical care, etc. Greatly enriched the knowledge of Zhu Yuanzhang and others. Zhoushan County, which was thought to have disappeared after the sea ban, turned out to be a hundred times more prosperous than the Qinhuai River in Yingtian Mansion, and everyone was shocked. He even regarded Zhu Tong, the magistrate of Zhoushan County, as a great talent in governing the world. But such a great talent in governing the world made Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly murderous. It's nothing like sky-high pen refining fees, auctioning off the first night of a prostitute in a brothel, taking high commissions in a gambling house, or selling one's official position. Zhu Tong even sold the right to fire the cannon for 30,000 taels of silver. The sound of Zhu Tong's golden abacus made corrupt officials and wealthy businessmen tremble! …… Zhu Yuanzhang: "Such covetousness has been rare since ancient times. Ling Chi would not be able to forgive his hatred even with five thousand swords!" Queen Ma: "Chongba, Zhu Tong's talent is unparalleled. Killing him is equivalent to annihilating yourself!" Zhu Biao: "Father, Magistrate Zhu cannot kill him! He is the only one who can open up our prosperous Ming Dynasty!" …….. Zhu Yuanzhang: "We can't kill such a greedy man? Are we still going to kneel down and beg him to ascend the throne?"
