When it comes to collecting money, Yang Xinluo also feels depressed.

What a great opportunity it was to win over the people and gain favor in front of the old emperor, yet it was ruined by such a few pennies.

However, Yang Xinluo complained, and when he saw that Lao Zhu's face was not good-looking, he hurriedly made amends for his student.

"Don't be surprised, Your Majesty. In fact, Your Highness did this out of kindness."

"oh?"

Lao Zhu glanced sideways at Yang Xinluo and thought disdainfully, let's see what other lies you can make up.

What kind of virtues does our turtle grandson have, can we as a grandfather not know about them?

If we hadn't kept a close eye on him, all the papers in the palace would have been taken out and sold by Ni Sun!

"Let's talk about it. If it doesn't sound good, we'll have to beat that turtle grandson to vent our anger!"

Lao Zhu now feels like he has a lump in his throat and is extremely depressed.

It was originally a great thing, which could not only show the eldest grandson's magnanimity, but also highlight the royal family's structure, but it was completely destroyed by the greed for money of Ni Sun.

As soon as Yang Xinluo heard "edit", he knew that His Majesty the Emperor was really angry.

At this moment, he didn't even want to explain. He thought it would be good to let the Third Emperor's grandson get a beating, so as to save him from always having unreasonable whims.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the three emperors and grandsons did not take any of the money collected at the door. They were all used to shelter the widowed and lonely people."

"What?"

Lao Zhu was slightly moved when he heard this. He didn't expect that his eldest grandson would have such a benevolent heart.

“Let’s hear the details!”

"During the construction of King Wu Palace, many nearby villagers came to pick up debris, and some even fished for food from the swill."

"The grandson of the Third Emperor burst into tears when he saw this, and then built an almshouse next to the palace to take in the elderly, frail and homeless people."

"But the Third Emperor's grandson is afraid that this move will not last long. Once he leaves the territory and becomes a vassal in the future, the source of income for the almshouse will be cut off."

When Yang Xinluo said this, he secretly glanced at Lao Zhu's face, saw a flash of anger on Lao Zhu's face, and quickly lowered his head to continue making up.

"So the Third Emperor Sun made Liu San responsible for collecting money at the door. None of the money was collected, and all the money was put into the almshouse."

Lao Zhu sighed secretly when he heard this.

"I didn't expect that our good grandson could have such a kind heart, so we underestimated him."

"We also did something like this when we were in Hongwu for six years, but it's hard to describe..."

After Lao Zhu ascended the throne, he implemented many measures to benefit the people, such as the nursing home for widows and orphans and the Leaze Garden for the collection of corpses.

However, during the actual implementation process, many unpleasant things happened. Local officials blamed themselves, rogues made trouble, and some unfilial sons threw their parents to the government.

Therefore, it was abolished after a few years of implementation.

Only some prefectures and counties still have a nursing home to take in some homeless people and give them a few liters of rice every day to make a living.

"I'm just afraid of raising a bunch of idle people!"

Yang Xinluo smiled confidently after hearing this.

"His Majesty is indeed very perceptive and can see the advantages and disadvantages of this method at a glance. However, His Highness the Third Emperor Sun also thought of this and clearly stipulated at the beginning of the establishment of the Alms House that the Alms House does not support idlers. No matter who they are, they must work.

Do something within your ability, otherwise you will be kicked out. Only those over sixty, or those who are truly incapable of working, can receive support for free."

"Now, anyone in the almshouse who has arms, legs, and a body that can move is assigned to be responsible for sweeping, pruning flowers, plants, fruit trees, etc. in the palace."

"For example, your Majesty saw Liu San when he first entered the house. Because he was not clear-headed and only accepted death, he was put to the best use by the descendants of the Three Emperors and arranged to collect money at the door."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, excitement appeared on his face, and his eyes shone with excitement.

"good!"

“A good man puts his best foot forward!”

Seeing that His Majesty was happy, Yang Xinlu quickly added another sentence.

"The Third Emperor Sun said that there are no useless people in the world, only people who have been placed in the wrong position."

"No matter who they are, there is a place for them."

Lao Zhu was even more happy when he heard this. This is the emperor's way of employing people. Unexpectedly, he hadn't taught him yet, and Nisun had learned it by himself without a teacher...

Just when Lao Zhu thought of this, he saw Yang Xinluo talking non-stop next to him, with a confused smile on his face.

It can’t be said that he is self-taught. Isn’t this great scholar from the south of the Yangtze River in front of me lobbying us as the emperor on behalf of Nisun, and wants us to make Nisun the emperor’s grandson? Hahaha!

"Yang Aiqing doesn't need to make excuses for our rebellious grandson. It's better to show us the beautiful scenery of this place first."

"promise!"

Yang Xinlu pointed to a mound in front of him.

"Your Majesty, this place is called the Jin Dynasty Clothes and Crowns. The pavilion is surrounded by carvings of past dynasty clothes and crowns, so that future generations can appreciate the changes over the thousands of years since the Qin and Han Dynasties."

When Lao Zhu heard this, his expression became solemn, and he walked to a stone tablet to admire it.

"Is this the clothing of the Song Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty has a keen eye, and what is depicted here is the clothes of the Song Dynasty."

"This is from the Qin Dynasty..."

"This is the costume of the Tang Dynasty..."

Lao Zhu was like a child who had just discovered a new toy. He would touch each stone tablet a few times and then guess the dynasty on it like a riddle.

"His Royal Highness the Third Emperor Sun once said that the rise and fall of a dynasty can be seen through the evolution of clothing."

"The clothes of the Qin and Han Dynasties were simple and practical. Therefore, Qin was unified and Han was the only one."

"The clothes of the Jin Dynasty were very comfortable and had broad sleeves, which was not conducive to farming or marching and fighting, so the Jin Dynasty was the weakest."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he asked impatiently.

"We are from Ming Dynasty!"

Yang Xinluo explained quickly.

"According to the Sun of the Three Emperors, our Ming Dynasty is retro in form, but in fact we seek simplicity."

"Retroversion is an overkill and must be overcorrected. Simplicity is to maintain the enterprising spirit of the Ming Dynasty, so as not to fall prematurely into the hedonistic culture of the Wei and Jin Dynasties..."

Lao Zhu was very happy when he heard this.

"My dear grandson still understands us, hahaha!"

The two walked some distance and saw a flower garden, Lao Zhu said with great interest.

"What's the name of this place?"

"Reporting to your majesty, this place is called Wu Palace Flowers and Grass. It is not only a scene in the park, but also proves that this place is Wu Palace. It also coincides with what the ancient poem said. It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he nodded secretly.

"Master Yang is attentive!"

Lao Zhu didn't even need to ask. This kind of naming job was definitely not done by his grandson. Even if he had chosen the name, he wouldn't have thought of so many tricks.

Lao Zhu followed Yang Xinluo to see a few more scenic spots and suddenly asked.

"By the way, where did our King Wu's palace go?"

"We have walked so far, and we haven't even seen the shadow of the palace!"

Yang Xinluo smiled and pointed to the road ahead.

"It's still far away. You have to go around the woods in front and cross a rope bridge to see it."

"If your Majesty is tired, you can go to the front and take a rest. There happens to be a teahouse and restaurant there for tourists to rest temporarily."

"All right!"

Lao Zhu is really tired of walking. He rarely goes out in the past few years, and even when he goes out, he either takes a car or a sedan.

He had walked so far for the first time today, but he was exhausted.

Yang Xinluo led Lao Zhu to the edge of the woods when he saw a banner with the word "tea" swaying in the wind.

Lao Zhu walked forward quickly, and just as he was about to enter the house to rest, he saw a dark wooden sign hanging at the door, with two lines of large white characters written on it.

"A bowl of tea and three cents!"

"A bowl of sweet water costs ten cents!"

When Lao Zhu saw this scene, he was unhappy on the spot and pointed at the sign and scolded him.

"Profiteer!"

"He dares to sell a bowl of tea for three pennies. A full steamed bun on the street only costs a penny. How dare he sell a bowl of tea for three pennies?"

When the clerk in the store heard this, he quickly came out to check. When he saw many sergeants gathered outside, the clerk was obviously frightened and took two steps back. However, when he saw the familiar Jin Yiwei, he immediately became more courageous.

I secretly thought that this is a place protected by His Highness King Wu. Who dares to come here and run wild?
