Chapter 1723 This Is a Benevolent Emperor
The auspicious snow heralds a good year, but when the snow gets bigger and bigger, this is not an auspicious snow, but a catastrophic snow.
Ying Tianfu reported that some houses were crushed and many people were injured and two died.
"Your Majesty, please provide relief."
After Feng Ping's death, Liao Chang had been sluggish for a while, and recently the incense in the value room began to flourish again.
Zhu Gaochi ordered: "Let the people from Wucheng Bingmasi go to check, if there is any one that is about to collapse, move it out immediately, if there are relatives, go to the relative's house, remember to make up some money and grain, and when the snow stops, let someone help to strengthen the house Some... Don't freeze to death or starve to death, or you will be punished severely!"
At this time in the Ming Dynasty, the storehouses were abundant, not to mention money and grain. The treasury of the household department was full of gold, silver and copper, and the banknotes issued from this had a solid reputation.
Liao Chang happily agreed, this is a good job that can increase his reputation.
Yang Rong came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that many places in the north have been affected by disasters. The capital will provide relief, but other places cannot be left behind. I think it is necessary to write in various places and send a censor to investigate."
Nima! Yang Rong, you are so ruthless!
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and if people are sent down at this time, those censors are afraid that they will complain.
Liu Guan agreed very readily: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go."
This gesture really made people look sideways, Zhu Gaochi said with relief: "Scholar Yang's words are not bad, you can't just focus on the capital, go, go to the snowy place to see more, if it is urgent, you can make a decisive decision!"
This is a benevolent emperor, all his actions are practicing the word benevolence.
"Xinghebo will go to Xinghe after the next year. Can the food and grass be adjusted? It is cold, so winter clothes and food and grass must be prepared."
The officials were a little uncomfortable, the emperor sent Fang Xing out in a hurry, but he sent him to Xinghe, which was very close to the capital.
Xia Yuanji came out of the class and agreed, Zhu Gaochi said gratifiedly: "Everything must be safe inside and out, so this year will be safe and secure, Zhu Qing will prepare it when he returns, and seal it from tomorrow."
It's a holiday, and there is such a long holiday all year round, and everyone is happy.
"De Hua, let's have a good New Year's Eve. When we start after the new year, if there is something missing, ask someone to come to our house to talk."
Jin Zhong was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Fu's extravagant attitude, "The British government, the basic necessities of life, food, shelter, and transportation, plus the cart of the civilian husband, can the British government cover everything? Then the Ministry of War doesn't have to worry about anything."
Zhang Fugan cupped his hands with a smile, and left first.
"When you go there, you just stare at Xinghe City. The people of Hale are afraid of this city. Once it is completed, Daming will have a foundation outside the Great Wall. It can be attacked and defended, so they will continue to harass it, but This is a bit strange."
Jin Zhong babbled all the way: "Those Harlei people are killing each other like crazy, who would attack Xinghe City for everyone? It's puzzling!"
Fang Xing stopped suddenly, looked at a eunuch approaching from a distance, Jin Zhong glanced at it, and said, "Isn't that fool?"
Song Laoshi is very happy, he walks bouncing up and down, and smiles innocently.
"Simple people are happy."
Fang Xing greeted him, asked his mother with a smile, and patted him on the shoulder when he learned that he had returned home, telling him to go to Liang Zhong if he was bullied, and to complain to the emperor if he couldn't.
Song Laoshi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty knows how to hit the board."
"No, if you hit the board, you can go to that smiling An Lun, and he will help you."
Song Laoshi nodded, "Well, that An Lun gave the servant a piece of candy last time, it's so sweet."
Fang Xing patted him on the shoulder again, smiled and left.
Song Laoshi felt that no one should bully him in the future, so he happily went to Qianqing Palace, and several eunuchs who saw the scene just now were talking about it.
"Why did Xinghe Bo look at him differently? If he was someone else, he would be accused of befriending a servant, but honestly Song...that's a fool."
"Probably pity him..."
…
Song Laoshi went all the way to Qianqing Palace, and then was called in by Liang Zhong to thank him.
"Your Majesty, the servant's mother said she wanted to save money for the servant."
Seeing Song Laoshi's happy appearance, Zhu Gaochi sighed in his heart,
He ordered: "If it wasn't for the fear that he would disrupt the order of the government, I would still want to transfer him to my side. Watch out, and don't let people bully him."
After Song Laoshi left, Zhu Gaochi ordered: "You go and chase Yang Rong back."
After Yang Rong came, Zhu Gaochi said: "My virtue is shallow, but I want to be served by a palace, how can I feel at ease... a hard-working bachelor in the new year, below, it is strictly forbidden to castrate without authorization... Violators will be severely punished, and... There are quite a lot of people here, so they will be less likely to enter in the future, it is best not to enter.”
Yang Rong bowed sincerely and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
When you become an emperor, you want to enjoy it, from the first emperor's A Fang Palace to Liu Bang's "I don't know the dignity of being an emperor today"... until the emperors of the former Song Dynasty, it was better, but it was also suppressed by literati. If you dare to be extravagant, you will be sprayed immediately. Can't find North.
But Zhu Gaochi's life is simple enough, he actually wants to reduce eunuchs and maids, this is kindness and frugality from the heart.
Zhu Gaochi said: "It's not easy for the common people, and most of them can eat enough now. If there are important people in the palace, they will still send them in. This is fear and luck, just like the imperial examination. They all think about the day when they will be as prosperous as Liang Zhong." gone."
Liang Zhong joked with a bitter face on the side: "Your Majesty, the servant's family is very poor... But now the family regrets it. If I knew that I could have enough food now, I shouldn't have sent the servant into the palace. But the servant didn't want to After I go back, I will serve His Majesty in the palace, that is an opportunity that other people can't get even if they pray to gods and worship Buddha."
His words did not make Zhu Gaochi smile, but made him even more embarrassed.
"Eat enough to eat, this has been the demand of the people for thousands of years. Some people say it is easy, some people say it is difficult, but one potato can solve the problem. But it is not enough. Daming wants to have more high-yield crops. Overseas Great, maybe there will be..."
"Your Majesty, didn't the late emperor send a fleet to sea? It's a pity that they haven't returned yet."
Zhu Gaochi pondered, "There are storms and waves on the sea, and there is a danger of capsizing at any time, but don't be afraid, if you don't come next year, I will send the fleet to go again, always to see how big it is outside, what big countries are there, and whether there are any things that Ming urgently needs ..."
Seeing Zhu Gaochi who was in deep thought, Yang Rong said, "Your Majesty, let's call everyone for a discussion next year."
After the Chinese New Year, everyone will be on holiday immediately, and seeing the emperor still thinking about these political affairs, Yang Rong felt a little unbearable.
Zhu Gaochi waved his hand, Yang Rong gave Liang Zhong a wink, and then resigned.
But Liang Zhong didn't dare to interrupt Zhu Gaochi's thoughts, so he had to go out quietly in the end and asked someone to invite Wanwan.
...
"Father!"
"Wanwan!"
Zhu Gaochi looked up and saw that Wanwan was wearing a red jacket, which contrasted with the snow on her skin, so he said with a smile: "But you are looking for a red envelope for your father?"
Fang Xing gave red envelopes to his children during Chinese New Year, and later Wanwan also went to Zhu Di to ask for it, and it gradually became a habit.
Wanwan received Liang Zhong's advice and said, "Father, the snow has stopped outside, let's go out and have a look."
"Really? Good."
Zhu Gaochi was helped up with difficulty, and then walked out of the warm pavilion gracefully.
...
Chinese New Year is always festive, and Mo Chou is ready to have a good time, so she and Brother Yao prepared a lot of ingredients.
Nanny Chen hugged Huanhuan and watched them chopping vegetables, and felt that Fang Xing was a little out of character.
You should at least arrange a cook.
The two women tossed about in the kitchen until Fang Liang, the gatekeeper, came to report and brought... Fang Jielun.
"This old servant has seen Mrs. Mochou."
Fang Jielun didn't know how to address Mo Chou, let's call her a girl, everyone gave Fang Xing a baby. But he should be called Mrs. Fang Jielun felt that it was too polite, so he just called her Mrs.
Mochou said in a panic, "Uncle Jay, this is..."
Fang Jielun said: "The lords and wives at home are waiting for the lady to go back to celebrate the New Year, so they sent the old slaves here."
Fang Jielun came here a few days ago and delivered a family, and now the doorkeeper is the male Fang Liang of this family.
Mo Chou lost her mind, and finally declined, "Thank you Uncle Jay, but I'm already working on it..."
Jay Fang came to invite him personally, this is a serious matter. It's just that Mo Chou was a little worried about facing Zhang Shuhui and Xiaobai.
Fang Jielun said with a smile: "Don't worry, Madam Mochou, Madam is waiting, she said she wants to see how much Master Huanhuan has grown."
