"Dear elders, as citizens of our Ming Dynasty, the court and the country failed to protect you, so you were kidnapped by the Mongols and suffered humiliation. I would like to apologize to you here."

On April 10, the 14-year-old Jian Wang Zhu You?, on behalf of the emperor, welcomed back the first batch of plundered Han people who returned to the mainland in Datong.

Since Zhu Changluo passed away and Zhu Youdong returned to Beijing to found the People's Republic of China, he has never failed in the education of his younger brothers. At Fangshan School, Zhu Youdong and the others had to eat and live together with the children of the disaster victims whose parents died when they were young.

In addition to learning various homework, they also need to undergo simple military training. Their only privilege is that they are secretly protected by Dongchang and Jinyiwei personnel, and they can go back to the palace to have a big meal on weekends. Apart from that, they are like ordinary civilians.

There is no preferential treatment for the children.

On the contrary, as the eldest brother, Zhu Youdong has been instilling a concept in these children since they were young: the Ming royal family is supported by the millions of people of the Ming Dynasty, so members of the royal family have the responsibility to protect the people of the Ming Dynasty. Zigong redeems

The story of Renhe and Zilu receiving an ox was told repeatedly by him many times.

In this way, starting from Zhu Huijuan and Zhu Youxiao, in short, Zhu Changluo's children, in this era, are not as arrogant as the descendants of the royal family. In addition to learning a wealth of knowledge at Fangshan School, these children are also because of their status as

It is easier for the children of the royal family to stand at the top and look at problems, and they have cultivated a sense of grace.

To be honest, these more than 3,000 Han slaves were all abandoned by the Mongolian tribes because of their old age. Due to their old age and lack of food and clothing, they would not be able to withstand the long journey if they were not fed with gruel for a period of time in advance.

Therefore, when Zhu You saw this group of people, their faces were already somewhat rosy. But everyone had extremely thin faces, stooped bodies, and limbs deformed by years of work. It was better to let this person

The fourteen-year-old boy's eyes were hot.

No matter how much Zhu Youdong asked the children of Ciqing Palace to eat and live with common people, they were still nobles of the Tian family. In addition, Ming Dynasty's financial revenue has been getting better and better in recent years, and the current cabinet generally cooperates with the current government. Therefore, Ming Dynasty

It has been a long time since there has been a large-scale famine. His Royal Highness King Jian has never seen such chronically malnourished people in his short fourteen years of life. This time he came to the border area on behalf of his royal brother

, it really opened my eyes.

But the more he opened his eyes, the more angry the young man became.

After temporarily settling these people who had returned from the north, they came to the Datong magistrate's office and sat down. Facing a group of officials, Zhu You? directly said: "My lords, how do you settle these more than 3,000 people who have returned from the north?

Is there any way?"

"Uh..." After the officials below looked at each other, Liu Jingzhang, the magistrate of Datong, stood up: "Your Highness, I am a government in Datong, and I govern the same city. It is said that I am a civil official, but in fact the entire Datong is a military town.

.”

"Huh?" Zhu You? turned his head slightly and looked at the prefect like Zhu Youdong: "Why, what Liu Qing means is that Datong Mansion can't handle this matter? Or rather, you don't want to handle it?"

"I'm scared." Liu Jingzhang saw the look in the eyes of the young man on the throne. He felt a little panicked for some reason. But in the end he stood up straight and replied: "Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to do it, it's that I can't do it. These Northern

Although most of the returned people were border residents from Datong, Xuanfu and other places in the early years, after being kidnapped for so many years, they no longer have any relatives at home, and it is difficult to even have property and houses. So it’s like this

If people want to re-register, they can only register with Lijia and register in the way of odd zero escrow. But here is the problem. First, odd zero escrow often means that there is no labor in the family, although it is tax-free.

But the entire village would have to support one or two more people, and ten acres of land would have to be allocated to them. Ordinary people would probably be unwilling to do so. Secondly, this Datong Prefecture is actually a large military town. Most of the land is

They are all military camps. Logically speaking, lower-level officials cannot manage military camps. Not to mention the small area of ​​civilian farmland in Datong Prefecture, the output is still very limited. If this is forcibly distributed, I am afraid that the local people will not be willing to do so. Third, if

These people are old and I don’t know if Datong Town is willing to accept them if they are to be divided into military households? Besides, Datong Commander-in-Chief Li Shuai is still on an expedition at the moment."

"Haha." After sneering slightly, Zhu You said: "Then, what do you think Liu Taishou should do about this matter?"

"Your Highness, the fields in Datong are barren and the people are poor. It is true that they cannot afford to settle so many people. In my opinion, it is better to let these people returning from the north go to Taiyuan Prefecture or Luzhou Prefecture (Changzhi)? The fields there are worse than those in Datong. Much more. In this way, we are treating these people returning from the north favorably."

Hey, when I was little, I always envied my grandfather for being the emperor and being able to talk about everything. Later, my eldest brother became the emperor. At first, I thought it was hard to understand that he was so busy all day long. Emperor, your words will be accepted. What's the matter?

Let me tell you, the people below still don’t pay attention to their work? It wasn’t until I studied in Fangshan that I realized that things are not that simple. Although Fangshan has studied for several years and understood a lot of truths, it is only today that I know that to achieve success,

How difficult this thing is! How hard it is for my eldest brother to be on the throne!

You, the prefect, really think you are just a fourteen-year-old boy who doesn’t know anything? Don’t you know that my eldest brother’s process of rebuilding the Yellow Book was that every student in Fangshan School had to study it repeatedly, and there were relevant lecturers and even the work team that year

Did the team members explain it over and over again? This weird zero-escrow service means tax exemption! How many people would like to apply but can't apply on weekdays!

To put it bluntly, this guy is hesitating here, but he is actually lazy! It is better to do less than to do more. When encountering something, he will instinctively push it out - there is no benefit if he does it well, and he will easily get into trouble if he does it wrong. So, try your best.

It's better not to spread it out.

Of course, Zhu You thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say it with his mouth. As a prince, Zhu You had no real power. This time he came to Datong, he was just a representative of the royal family to express condolences to the returned people in the north. Of course he could lose his temper and demand that local officials must

Execution. Or go back and complain to your emperor brother. However, of these two paths, the former is likely to be violated by local officials, turning good things into bad things, and in the end, a shit basin will be placed on his head. While the latter,

Will Zhu Youdong be disappointed in him - you can't handle even the most serious things, so what's the use of raising you?

Fortunately, he had seen a lot in Fangshan and the Forbidden City over the years. Zhu You naturally knew what to do at this time.

He just smiled slightly and said without worry: "Since Liu Taishou finds it difficult, then this is good. I went down to Lijia and talked with the local people one by one to see who of them would accept these poor people returning from the north.

.There are more than 3,000 people. I can’t afford to take a year off from school and settle down one by one. How about that?”

…

"Hahaha~" About ten days later, Zhu Youdong, who received the news in Beijing, was very happy. He returned to his harem in a very good mood.

"Queen, beloved concubine, have you ever heard of what you did in Datong? Our King Jian is not simple at all."

"Your Majesty, we have all heard about it. This morning we all went to sit with the Queen Dowager for a long time. The Queen Dowager was very proud when she talked about her son."

"Yes, with the dignity of a prince, he did not hesitate to sink the most basic level of our Ming Dynasty, and arranged the entry of people from the north one by one. Now, apart from submitting his resignation honestly, how can the Datong magistrate have the dignity to continue to rely on it?

As for the position. Hahaha, my brothers are all so outstanding, I am very happy!"

"I, my concubines, would like to congratulate the Emperor."

"Haha, congratulations together. Well, that's what I think. The two beloved concubines should prepare for some time and then leave the capital. As my army continues to advance northward, the people returning from the north will become more and more

The more. The two beloved concubines, especially the queen, are the mother-in-law of the world. So, why don’t you all go to the border to welcome the people returning from the north!"

"Your Majesty, can my concubines and others really leave the palace?"

"Of course! Didn't I tell you when I got married that this palace would not become a prison that restricted your life. Concubine You, you are from Datong, so go to Xuanda. If the Queen is nearby, you can go to Ji, Liao

Let’s take a look at the Second Town. I’m a man, and it’s inevitable that I’ll be careless in doing things sometimes. If you go there, you’ll be able to do things more carefully.”

Speaking of which, although Liu Yun and You Yi have both become mothers at this time, they are actually just little girls under the age of twenty. If they stay in this deep palace compound for a long time, they will inevitably feel bored. So when Zhu Youdong said this, he immediately became very excited.

There was a lot of cheering.

"Well, I would like to thank you for your trust in your Majesty. We sisters will take over this job."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, my two beloved concubines. In addition to appeasing the people, the two beloved concubines also took a look at the living conditions of the grassroots women in our Ming Dynasty. Come back and give me a report and opinions. In addition, also
Chapter completed!
