Going hungry!

As soon as the words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang's face, which was originally full of smiles, suddenly solidified and condensed into frost.

And from his old, wrinkled face, Zhu Yunxiu saw all kinds of complex and intertwined emotions, including melancholy, anger, worry, and bitterness.

My grandson saw two beggars, one old and one young, on Chang'an Street. Later, in the dilapidated temple on Luoyang Lane, he saw many beggars, dozens of people!

Zhu Yunxiu slowly stirred the rice grains in the bowl with chopsticks and whispered, "Others told his grandson that there were more hungry people in the shack outside the west gate of Yingtian City!"

Eating full has always been a big problem that has plagued the Chinese for thousands of years. No matter how beautiful the times are, there are shadows of imperfection in the invisible corners.

After meeting two beggars, one old and one young, Zhu Yunyu looked at the corners of the capital of the Ming Dynasty for a long time. He saw the incompleteness of the prosperous times and saw some helpless people under the splendor of the Ming Dynasty.

No society or regime is perfect. Don’t be afraid of problems. If there are problems, you have to face problems and deal with them so that such problems will no longer arise.

We have already asked Yingtian Mansion to help! Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was a little helpless and lonely. He was the emperor and the emperor, but he could not let everyone eat enough.

Grandpa Emperor! Zhu Yunxiu said in a low voice, just relief is not a problem?

Then tell me what to do! Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly.

My grandson asked, it was flooded in Huaixi this spring, and many poor people had no choice but to escape to the capital. Zhu Yunyu carefully organized the language. The capital was a place of martial law, and there were only so many capitals alone, so let alone other places!

Bang, Zhu Yuanzhang threw away the chopsticks and became angry, and he deserved to die!

Zhu Yunqi lowered his head and said nothing. He knew who the emperor was scolding, and what he was scolding officials who did not report in time and were dealt with improperly.

Grandpa Zhu Yunxiu continued to speak, our Ming Dynasty is so big, there will be natural disasters and man-made disasters every year. Once the people who farmed were affected by the disaster, they would have to escape from the famine with their families!

We know this too! Child! Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his forehead. Back then, our hometown was not allowed to take it. Your grandfather died of illness, and your second and third grandfathers all went out to flee the famine and died on the way. The only grandfather left in the family!

As he said that, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed. At that time, we were thinking, if the officials in the government had a little conscience and knew how to save the people, how could so many people die? The national taxes were taken from the people and used them for the people. Isn’t it natural to use the food grown by the people to help the people?

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, but the officials seemed to have not seen it. Do you know what officials fear the most?

Zhu Yunxi shook his head.

What I fear most is that I have no conscience! Zhu Yuanzhang continued to say that the flood in Huaixi washed away more than 10,000 acres of land, and nearly 10,000 victims were hungry. We have been talking about relief since the beginning of spring, and local officials kept writing memorials on how to resettle them. But now you can see that all the people who fled to the famine have gone to the capital!

What you said is right. There are so many cities in the capital, where else? Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness. They thought we were staying in the palace every day. Hehe, we called them damn because they really deserved it. They only knew that they had no conscience when they became officials!

If they are willing to settle the refugees, how can they become beggars? They are just lazy and unwilling to take the initiative to do things. They think there is nothing they can't see, and they think they can't see either!

Zhu Yuanzhang got angry, but Zhu Yunxiu remained silent.

The emperor had a very irritable temper, especially when it came to the people. Zhu Yuanzhang was a perfectionist with obsessive-compulsive disorder. He believed that his officials should not only be honest, but also care about the people of the world like him.

So if there are some unsatisfactory things, they will be furious and make all the officials tremble. For officials who are not good at doing things, their method is also very simple, that is, kill.

The officials who were dismissed, exiled, or even killed every year in the Ming Dynasty were only part of the corruption. The other part was a corpse and had no effect, and could not even improve the livelihood of the people under their rule.

After getting angry, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to feel relieved. He said to Zhu Yunxi, "Don't think we are an emperor, but there are so many things that we can't help ourselves!"

The emperor is a human being, not a god, and even a god cannot take care of the people in the world.

Zhu Yunhuang looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's face and said again, "If there is a famine, you will be relieved. This is the virtue of the emperor's grandfather. However, the grandson thought.

．

．

．

”

What are you doing hesitantly? What can we say to our grandfather and grandson? Just say it! Zhu Yuanzhang said.

There will be disasters in the next year. It’s okay for Jiangnan to be here. The northern border of Shanxi and Shaanxi, the Central Plains and other places along the Yellow River, and Huaixi. There will be drought or floods every now and then!

Zhu Yunqiu spoke slowly, saying that the local government was not rich, and it was also a burden to take out food to help the people year after year. Moreover.

．

．

．

"As he said that, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, and the local officials may not be doing their best to provide relief!

Haha, some even put the imperial court's disaster relief money and food into their own pockets, right? Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.

Zhu Yunxiu was silent for a moment, agreeing.

So, my grandson wondered, why did the court not organize these victims and use work for relief in times of disaster?

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and thought, this was a good way! But he was afraid that local officials would increase labor service to the people with the idea of ​​using labor instead of relief!

This old man!

Zhu Yunqiu laughed in his heart, and it turned out that he was afraid that local officials would abuse their people's power.

In addition to paying taxes, the people of the Ming Dynasty also had corvee labor every year, such as building city walls, clearing water roads, paving official roads, etc.

In order to avoid labor service, some people will pay money and grain to the government, so this is also one of the means for local officials to make money.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor, and he stares at him with both eyes, so the local officials naturally dare not do anything. However, in the late Ming Dynasty, because the people were overburdened, it became one of the fuses for the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

What my grandson said about labor-for-relief is different from the past! Zhu Yunxiu continued to speak, for example, the Yellow River. His grandson looked through the archives in the palace and found that since the 20th year of Hongwu, the three-time management of the Yellow River cost more than 1.2 million taels of silver, and more than 300,000 yuan for civilians!

The grandson thought that if the victims were replaced by the victims, the court could not only provide relief to the victims, but also save a lot of unnecessary expenses!

Taking the water flow in Huaixi this spring as an example, it is because the Huaihe River did not clear the river channel. It is better to lose water than to block the flood. It is a meticulous and long process. Zhu Yunxiu thought while saying that since there are victims who are affected, they are ready-made laborers. Instead of constantly providing relief, the court should organize it.

They work for themselves. If the river is cleared, the flood will be less in the future! If the flood is less, the people will live a better life. So my grandson thinks that labor-for-relief is the best of both worlds!

Listening to Zhu Yunxiu's talk, Zhu Yuanzhang kept nodding.

The brows that were originally frowning because of their anger slowly dissipated, and even a smile appeared on their faces.

What he most satisfied with this grandson was the child's unique vision and courage to do things.

He is the only one who knows how many princes and grandchildren who read the archives in the palace, how much money it cost to manage the Yellow River, and how many people it used.

There are so many princes and grandchildren, no one dares to express their thoughts in front of themselves at this age.

After Zhu Yunxiu finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while and spoke slowly, "Yeah, we heard that you are kind-hearted and saved two refugee beggars, one old and one young?

Yes! Zhu Yunxiu knew his actions, and someone must have told Zhu Yuanzhang that he said immediately that his grandson asked Liao Yong from Duke of Chu to take him home to settle. He thought that he should not have two more mouths in Duke of Chu's mansion!

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, "How come you saved those two people so many refugees and beggars?"

This was a casual question, but Zhu Yunxiu's face became solemn.

The old and the young are grandchildren, and it is the grandfather and a granddaughter! Zhu Yunsheng whispered, "They are helpless, grandson." ． ． ． ”

Zhu Yuanzhang understood what he meant and sighed, "Good boy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang felt something in his heart, and he looked at Zhu Yunxi's expression even more loving.

Besides, even so many refugee beggar grandsons cannot save them! Zhu Yunxi smiled and looked up confidently. It is small to save one person, and it is big to save tens of thousands of people. The grandson must be the enemy of all people who can save the people of the world!

Well said! Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh. This is what our Zhu family man should do!
