After eating, the old man leaned on the recliner and took a nap.
Zhu Yunxi took a blanket from the palace attendant and gently covered the old man.
The old man opened his eyes slightly and said with a smile, "There are many affairs in the country, so go and do your work!"
"Grandpa, are you tired?" Zhu Yunxi said softly, "Why don't you save it for tomorrow?"
The two acres of land in front of him didn't look like much, but the workload was not small. Seeing the slight fatigue on the old man's face, Zhu Yunxi felt heartbroken.
"If it rains tomorrow, won't it have to be postponed to the day after tomorrow? Farming can't be postponed. God doesn't want mortals to be lazy." The old man closed his eyes and smiled, "I know you are afraid that we will be tired. It's okay! At our age
It's good to stretch your muscles and bones!" He said, stretching out his legs comfortably, "We're not tired, we just want to stare for a while!"
Zhu Yunxi slowly squatted down, gently beat the old man's legs, and said with a smile, "How about my grandson ask someone to bring in a working cow?"
"What kind of cattle are used for these two acres of land?" The old man closed his eyes and asked, "The cattle are for work. They come to the palace to work for a day or two and then they are idle. What will happen to the cattle in the future?"
"You can use it every year!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"Silly boy! A cow is just like a human being. If you don't use it, it will become useless! If you keep it in the palace, you have to find someone to take care of it, feed it, and take it out for a walk. The gain outweighs the loss!" said the old man.
Opening his eyes, "I feel comfortable doing some work. We farm because we are proud (meaning we like it), not for others to see!"
"Then you have to be careful, after all, you are at this age." Zhu Yunxi squeezed the old man's leg and said, "If you are exhausted, your grandson will cry without even crying!"

The old man smiled and seemed to enjoy his grandson's filial piety. He said, "People all over the world work in the fields until they die. I only heard of people dying of starvation, but never of people dying of exhaustion from farming!"
"Grandpa Emperor!" Zhu Yunxi continued, "The Chief Secretary of Shanxi has made a mistake. There was little snow in Shanxi last winter, and there are already signs of a drought in the spring of this year. Special request, if there is a disaster, please protect the three counties in Shanxi.
The money and food, my grandson is sure!"
"Yes!" The old man closed his eyes and nodded, "The Ming Dynasty will not be short of money and food from these three counties. It's accurate!"
"The Ministry of Punishment also published a report!" Zhu Yunxi said again, "It's about the prisoners all over the world who were sent to the army!" After saying that, he paused and continued, "My grandson took a look and found that last year, there were 13,000 prisoners reported from all over the world.
There are more than a thousand people, but there are not many treacherous and evil people among them. They are all sentenced to be sent to the army. My grandson thinks it is too much!"
Even though there was a Ming Dynasty law, there was no unified law enforcement standard in this era. The decision depends on the mood of the official. Sometimes he would be caught in jail or sent to the army for fighting with others or stealing.
To be exiled to the army is to serve as a soldier, which is one of the sources of soldiers for the Ming Dynasty Guards. Once a common person breaks the law and is exiled to the army, his whole family will be a soldier household for generations, and he will still be a soldier household of the lowest level, just like serfs.
"Did you give it?" the old man asked.
"Yes!" Zhu Yunxi said, "Our Ming Dynasty Guard does not lack these soldiers, but an adult man is a strong laborer and the backbone of a family. Instead of letting them serve as soldiers, it is better to let them farm the land at home. So the grandson
Let the Ministry of Punishments send them back to the local yamen and screen them carefully. As long as they are not doing anything harmful to the world, give them a few slaps and let them go home to farm!"
"Yes!" The old man nodded again, quite in agreement.
"There is also the patch situation of each guard station!" Zhu Yunxi continued, "My grandson read the information from the Ministry of War. If the guard officer died in the battle, the remaining members of his family would be used to replace him. There is a family in Huaiyuan County. The old man is over seventy years old.
, both sons died in the battle, and the Weisuo actually asked his grandson, who was only eleven years old, to join the army." (Ming Dynasty Records)
As he said that, Zhu Yunxi looked at the old man's face and said, "If everyone joins the army, won't his family be wiped out? There are many things like this in the army. Sun'er suggested that when replenishing troops in the garrison, one should look at the situation of each family.
Arrest the only male in the house, right?"
The standing military force of the Ming Dynasty was the garrison. Its soldiers included good family members who took the initiative to join the army in order to reduce their family taxes, as well as criminal prisoners. Although the country was only founded not long ago, the garrison's combat effectiveness was still strong, but its shortcomings had begun to appear.
"That's right!" the old man said again, "We use severe punishments to control troubled times. You will be the emperor of peace in the future, and you must be merciful to the world!"
"There is also the matter of Jing Haijun!" Zhu Yunxi continued, "Xinguo Gong Tang He's statement said that the capable officers and soldiers drawn from the Fujian Guards and the Zhejiang Guards have already been in place and formed an army. The Ming Dynasty Navy is patrolling the sea day and night. It's just
The ship was not big enough, so my grandson asked Fujian Shipbuilding Bureau to speed up the construction..."
"You are the one who took the initiative in this matter, just do what you want!" The old man sat up, still closing his eyes.
"I heard from Duke Xin that Xincheng's Jing navy is quite majestic." Zhu Yunxi looked at the old man's face and said with a smile, "Japanese pirates come to harass me several times at this time every year. Maybe this year I listened and didn't dare to come again. But they
If you don’t come, our soldiers from the Ming Dynasty will also come to kill you. My grandson thought, this Jingjun is hosted by my grandson, so it’s not as good as my grandson......"
"You go and take a look?" The old man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Yunxi.
"Yes!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. My grandson wants to go to the coast..."
"Don't even think about it!" The old man interrupted Zhu Yunxi again, "Your first priority now is to get us some grandchildren!" He said, pointing to Zhao Ning'er who was resting in the distance, "Not many.
If you have a few children, you won’t be able to leave!"
"Then..." Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "There is no need to rush this matter!"
"You can't be in a hurry when planting land!" The old man sat up and said, "You have to plow the land frequently and the ridges need to be deep so that the seedlings can grow quickly!"
With that said, the old man stood up, moved his hands and feet, glanced sideways at Zhu Yunxi, and said meaningfully, "Hurry up!" Then, waving his hand, "Go ahead, let's finish the remaining work!"
"Grandpa, my grandson has something else to tell you?" Zhu Yunxi shouted from behind.
"You are already married, you can handle whatever happens on your own!" The old man didn't even look back, "You two, just go and get busy, don't bother hanging around us!"
"Old man, this is a small thing, let me do it freely, but he will take care of the big things!"
Seeing the old man walking away, Zhu Yunxi said in his heart, "But the more you act like this, I always feel like you are holding something in your heart?"
It was quiet before the storm. In the past few days, he had been sorting out the government affairs. He had read and reviewed all the official documents. But only the documents from the censors of the Inspectorate and the Jin Yiwei had not been sent to him.
Moreover, before his wedding, the old man said something meaningful, that some things should be dealt with after his wedding!
Are you dealing with things? Or are you dealing with people?
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhao Ning'er came over surrounded by several palace people.
"Have you gotten used to living in the palace these days?" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
TV dramas are all lies. The emperor and his wife sleep in separate rooms. Each person has a palace. They even eat in separate rooms. The couple must respect each other as guests, and they don’t have much time to be intimate with each other.
"Go back to your highness, everything is fine with me!" Zhao Ning'er Fu'an said with a smile.
The girl in front of her was as cheerful as before, but her brows lacked a lot of the liveliness they once had.
Zhu Yunxi said, "I've been busy with government affairs these days, and I haven't spent much time with you! Gong Qingleng can't help you either."
"Your Highness is involved in military and national affairs, so I have nothing to do with you!" Zhao Ning'er said with a smile, "Concubine Hui often comes to talk to me!"
"No wonder!" Zhu Yunxi thought to himself, "No wonder this girl has only been in the palace for a few days and she has served the old man so obediently. It turns out there is someone behind her to help!"
"If you feel bored, you can tell your mother and sister to come to the palace to talk!" After that, Zhu Yunxi said again, "How are the preparations at Kunning Palace?"
"Pu Wuyong and his men are moving, but I haven't come to see it yet!"
"Let's go and have a look!"
