"In those years, the battles were fought, and there were dead people everywhere!"
At the dinner table, the old lady sighed and continued, "I ran with my father, husband, and family. On the way, I encountered a rout of soldiers and robbed us all. Later, I finally escaped to Yingtian Mansion!"
"Just a few years later, we caught up with Lord Hong Wu to attack Jiqing Road and lead his army across the river!"
"As soon as Lord Hongwu came, the city was in chaos. Dayuan Daru Huachi, who was guarding the city, arrested civilians and searched for money. My father and brothers were all arrested!" Old Mrs. Hu sighed, "Later, they all died in the
He climbed onto the city wall and was killed by the sword!"
The smile on the old man's face suddenly disappeared.
For some reason, Zhu Yunxi felt that the old man's aura had become a little awkward.
"A few years later, your husband also died on the city wall. This time, it was Master Hongwu who ordered the city wall to be built, right?" the old man said softly.
"It's all fate!" Mrs. Hu smiled slightly.
"Old sister!" The old man suddenly said, "Your family is ruined and your family is in this state of decline. It's all caused by the wars in the Ming Dynasty. Don't you hate it? Let me listen to you, what you say is all the good things of Lord Hong Wu!"
"What I hate is the world, not the people!" Mrs. Hu continued, "If it weren't for Lord Hongwu, how many people in the world might have died. People are just ants, and no one cares about it in troubled times. After Lord Hongwu took over the world,
, Treating people well is a great kindness!”
Seeing that the old man was in a bad mood, Zhu Yunxi said, "Grandpa, only great chaos can lead to great peace. The world will come back and forth every hundreds of years, and it is not the fault of man!"
Remember the URL m.wxsy．
"That's what you say!" the old man said, "but back then, after all, there were too many people killed!"
In troubled times, people are not human.
At that time, the old man joined the army in Haozhou, Huaixi, and attacked Dingyuan, went to Chuzhou, and Zhanhe County, seizing cities and territories along the way. When he was still young, his subordinates were all reckless men who killed people without blinking an eye. They did a lot of things against their will.
.
The peasant uprising is actually the most cruel. In the beginning, these people can only survive by killing, and they will bring more destruction to the world.
Only after his wings were full, did he put out the slogan "The mountains and rivers are about to be prosperous, the sun and the moon will reopen the Great Song Dynasty." (This is Liu Futong's slogan, Zhu Yuanzhang, who belongs to the Northern Red Scarf lineage, also used it!) to appease people's hearts.
Later, the Ming Dynasty was unstoppable, spreading the word to the world, roaring at the north, expelling the Tartars, restoring China, Chen Gang established discipline, and rescued the people.
"Mom, distinguished guest, let's eat!" Hu Laosan shouted from the side when the meal was ready.
"Dear guest, please!" Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "What happened in the past is in the past. The troubled times are gone, and we all live well. Now the world is peaceful. As long as the children and grandchildren work hard and work hard, the family business will always prosper!
"
The old man smiled and said, "Sister, what you say makes sense. Let's listen to it. It's better than anything a scholar can say!"
The small courtyard of the Hu family was suddenly filled with laughter and laughter.
Large pieces of fish meat were placed in a clay pot, fried golden eggs, and wine and vegetables bought by Li Jinglong. There was only one table, so Pu Bucheng, Li Jinglong and others squatted with the children of the Hu family, each holding a bowl.
Eat on the ground.
Seeing the liveliness of the Hu family, the neighbors of the village couldn't help but be curious. Mrs. Hu asked her son to invite the oldest and respected old men in the village to stay with them.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi had no place to sit. The tables were filled with gray-haired old men, grinning and talking with toothless mouths. Whose harvest was good, whose children were filial, who had many grandchildren, and whose livestock
strong.
The old man was surrounded by a group of old people, smiling happily. Zhu Yunxi was looking for a place in the yard with a pointed rice bowl.
Li Jinglong was sitting on an upside-down wooden barrel, looking at the somewhat vulgar meal in his hand with a sad face.
"Can't you eat it?" Zhu Yunxi went over and asked.
"It's okay!" Li Jinglong stood up and bowed slightly.
He would definitely not be able to eat it. He, Li Jinglong, was born into a noble family and had lived in fine clothes since he was a child. This kind of farm food was not even as good as what his servants were eating.
"Get up!" Zhu Yunxi bumped his hips and occupied Li Jinglong's upside-down barrel with peace of mind. He sat down comfortably and said with a smile, "Eat it, it has a different flavor. Besides, I think the Hu family's wife is a clean person and a good cook.
Everyone cleaned up!"
Li Jinglong stood, leaning against the donkey's trough, with a grimace on his face, "But the men in his family collect manure!"
"I didn't let you eat shit?" Zhu Yunxi said angrily, "Eat it if you like it, or you'll be hungry if you don't eat it!" After saying that, he started to eat rice.
The taste is naturally not good, and is nothing compared to the ones in the palace.
But when he saw the Hu family's children beside him, they could not wait to bury their heads in the rice bowl and eat with big mouthfuls. Zhu Yunxi felt that the rice was quite delicious. Especially the golden eggs, which were fragrant in the mouth. When he picked up the rice, he found that it was mixed.
Whole grain rice with wheat beans and a lot of stewed fish roe.
He couldn't help but raise his head and look to the side.
The Hu family's wife, who was adding fish soup to the children's bowls, also looked here and smiled shyly.
Li Jinglong held the rice bowl with his left hand, squatted down slowly, looked over there, and said carefully, "Your Highness, if you like to eat farm food, you can go to my farm someday. I had a meal with pigeon meat sauce the other day."
The bibimbap is delicious, and there is also sour plum soup..."
"Is that peasant food of yours?" Zhu Yunxi said angrily, "Dinged pigeon meat? What you eat is better than Gu?" As he said that, he suddenly smiled and said, "Old Li, do you want to eat it? If you don't eat it, there will be no food.
!”
Li Jinglong was stunned for a moment. Just as he was thinking about what this meant, he suddenly felt hot air on his cheeks.
Turning around, I happened to encounter a huge donkey head.
Li Jinglong almost fell down with the sound of "Oh my God". It turned out to be the donkey next to him. He stuck his head out of the shack and was eating the rice in his bowl.
Seeing Li Jinglong exclaiming, the donkey rolled its eyes, grinned, and continued to roll its long tongue.
Poor Cao Guogong didn't even eat a bowl of rice, but the donkey had eaten it first.
At this time, the drunk old man turned around at the table and said to the guards who were squatting to eat, "Eat it all, eat it clean! No leftovers allowed!"
Suddenly, Li Jinglong was holding half a bowl of rice that the donkey had eaten, and was about to cry without tears.
"Hehe!" Zhu Yunxi smiled evilly at the side.
It's getting late, we've had enough wine and food.
The old man picked his teeth with a straw stick and stood up leisurely, "It's getting late. I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm going back!"
"Dear guest, go slowly!" Hu Laosan saluted, "I won't see you off!"
"Don't mind it, I'll stop by at home next time I pass by!" said the old lady of the Hu family with a smile.
"Definitely! Come see my sister another day!" the old man said, stroking his hands around his waist.
Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi quickly took out a warm jade pendant from his arms and handed it over.
"You keep this thing!" The old man handed over the jade pendant, and without waiting for the other party to refuse, he continued solemnly, "Our surname is Huang, okay, we still have some respect in the capital. If your family encounters any difficulties in the future, take this
For this piece of jade, just go to Jiazihao Courtyard in the west of the North Alley of Suzhou Street in the capital and find us."
Zhu Yunxi was stunned. Is this Li Jinglong's family?
Then the old man said again, "That's our nephew's house, his surname is Li. If you take this jade pendant, there's nothing you can't do. If our nephew can't do it, there's still us. When we die in the future, our grandchildren will recognize it too!"
"
"This..." Mrs. Hu was startled, and the jade pendant was already stuffed into her arms. Under the light, the jade pendant was glowing, and it looked like it was not an ordinary thing.
When she came to her senses, the old man and Zhu Yunxi had already led people away.
"Mom! This distinguished guest is really grand. This thing is probably very valuable!" Hu Laosan asked carefully from beside his mother, staring straight at the piece of jade.
"How can a jade pendant carved with a dragon be worthless?" The old lady handed the jade pendant to her son, "If you offer it well, no matter what happens to your family in the future, even if you starve to death, you can't sell it!"
"Ah?" Hu Laosan, who was holding the jade pendant, was stunned, "Why?"
"Come here!" The old lady waved and whispered in her son's ear.
"Ah?" Hu Laosan exclaimed again, his legs softened, and he knelt down and exclaimed, "Mom, is it true?"
"Keep your voice down!" Old Mrs. Hu looked outside and saw that all the guests had left, and whispered, "Although I am old, I am not blind. The first time I saw him was when Chuzhou was conquering the city, and the second time was when the army was marching in.
When we were in Yingtian Mansion, the third time was when your father died and my mother went to collect the body, and she saw him leading troops and horses out of the city from a distance."
As she said that, the old lady revealed a silver dollar in her hand, "Look at the portrait of this silver dollar again. Does it look similar?"
Hu Laosan still didn't believe it and looked at the silver dollar blankly.
"The people who live in Suzhou Street are all the Dukes of the current dynasty. The Duke is his nephew, and his surname is Huang. OK, tell me, if it's not Lord Hong Wu, who else could it be?"
"God!" Hu Laosan finally believed it and exclaimed again.
"Keep it well, it might be an opportunity for our Hu family in the future!" The old lady looked at the grandchildren who were helping their mother wash dishes in the distance, "In addition to buying land, some of these silver coins can be set aside for the children.

Under the night, the carriage moved forward slowly.
The old man and Zhu Yunxi were in the carriage, sipping fragrant tea.
"Grandpa, this farm rice is really unique!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"Don't just say nice things, it's strange that you can eat it!" The old man closed his eyes and smiled.
Zhu Yunxi also smiled and said, "Grandpa, you didn't see that Li Jinglong let the donkey eat half of his bowl of rice. You told him to eat it completely, but he didn't dare not eat it, so he could only grit his teeth and eat the rest!"
He wanted to make the old man happy, but the old man was gone.
"If there is no war next year, the national treasury will be rich. We want to reduce the taxes in Huaixi again!" The old man suddenly sighed and said, "Back then, the war in Huaixi was too brutal!"
"It should be so!" Zhu Yunxi said.
"Hey, back then it was all the poor who rebelled. If you don't have enough to eat, you won't have any strength." The old man closed his eyes and said, "It's a crime to go to one place and grab all the way!" As he said, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Your grandpa, Chang Yuchun.
That guy hates people the most. Not only does he rob, he also kills and kills talents!"
"All that happened back then, we had no choice but to do it, were all caused by the Meng Yuan's unrighteousness and the chaos in the world. Grandpa Huang cared about the world and loved the people as his own son. Now that the world is peaceful and peaceful, we can just think of ways to make up for it!" Zhu Yunxi comforted the old man.
"That's the only way!" the old man said.
Zhu Yunxi thought about it, "Grandpa Emperor, my grandson felt deeply when we ate at the farmhouse today. The people's life is far from rich. This is the case in the capital and under the emperor's feet, but it must be even worse in remote areas!"
"Hey, take your time!" the old man said.
Zhu Yunxi poured tea for the old man, "My grandson thought, the expenses in the palace are still too much, hundreds of thousands of taels a year. The people's livelihood is difficult, and all the people in the world support the royal family. How about cutting off some unnecessary expenses and accumulating more money?"
Use less to make more for people’s livelihood!”
"That's right!" the old man said, "call the people from Guanglu Temple and figure it out. If you save fifty thousand a year, you can do a lot of things!"
Zhu Yunxi was about to say more when suddenly someone knocked lightly outside the carriage.
He opened the small window and asked, "What's wrong?"
Pu Bucheng's expression was a little bad and he whispered a few words. Zhu Yunxi's expression was also quite exciting.
"What's wrong?" the old man opened his eyes and asked.
"Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Yunxi put down the car curtains and smiled bitterly, "There is something!"
"Say!" The old man was displeased.
"Again, someone filed a complaint!" After saying that, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help laughing, "This time, a group of common people captured an official! He was sent directly to the capital!"
