As soon as the word "Jian" came out, Zhu Yuanzhang's face, which was originally full of smiles, suddenly solidified and turned into frost.
And from his old, wrinkled face, Zhu Yunxi could see all kinds of complex and intertwined emotions. There were melancholy, anger, worry, and bitterness.
My grandson saw two beggars, an old man and a young man, on Chang'an Street. Later, he saw many beggars, dozens of them, in the ruined temple over there in Luoyang Lane!
Zhu Yunxi slowly stirred the rice grains in the bowl with chopsticks, and whispered, "Others told his grandson that there are more hungry people in the shack outside the west gate of Yingtian City!"
Having enough food has been a big problem that has troubled the Chinese people for thousands of years. No matter how beautiful the times are, there are imperfections in invisible corners.
After meeting two beggars, an old man and a young man, Zhu Yunxi looked for a long time in the corners of the capital of the Ming Dynasty that were deliberately forgotten by people. He saw the incompleteness of the prosperous age, and saw some helpless people under the splendor of the Ming Dynasty.
of people.
No society or government is perfect. If there are problems, don't be afraid. If there are problems, you must face them and deal with them so that such problems will never happen again.
We have asked Yingtian Mansion to provide relief! Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was a little helpless and lonely. He is the emperor and the emperor, but he cannot make everyone fed.
Grandpa Huang! Zhu Yunxi said in a low voice, just relief is not a thing?
Then tell me what to do! Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly.
The grandson inquired about it and found that there was flooding in Huaixi in the spring this year. Many poor people had no choice but to flee to the capital. Zhu Yunxi carefully organized his words. The capital was a place under martial law. There were only so many in the capital alone, let alone other places.
!
Bang, Zhu Yuanzhang threw his chopsticks and became so angry that everyone up and down died!
Zhu Yunxi lowered his head and remained silent. He knew who the emperor was scolding, those officials who failed to report in time and handled the situation improperly.
Grandpa Emperor! Zhu Yunxi continued to speak, our Ming Dynasty is so big, there will be natural and man-made disasters every year. Once the people who farm the land are hit by disasters and have no harvest, they can only flee with their families!
We know this too! My child! Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his forehead. At that time, our hometown had no harvest. Your eldest grandfather died of illness. Your second grandfather and third grandfather all went out to escape and died on the road. Grandpa is the only one left in the family!
As he said that, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed. At that time, we were thinking, if those officials in the government had some conscience and knew how to help the people, how could so many people die? National taxes are collected from the people and used for the people.
Isn’t it only natural that the food that comes out should be used to help the people?
Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, but it was as if the official didn't see it. Do you know what officials are most afraid of?
Zhu Yunxi shook his head.
The most fearful thing is lack of conscience! Zhu Yuanzhang continued, the flood in Huaixi has washed away more than 10,000 acres of land, and nearly 10,000 victims are crying for food. We have been talking about relief and relief since the beginning of spring, and the local officials have also kept giving advice on how to resettle them.
But look now, the people who fled the famine have all gone to the capital!
What you said is right. There are so many things in the capital, but what about other places? Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes flashed with a trace of cruelty. Do they think we stay in the palace every day and don’t know? Hey, let’s scold them for damning because they really
Damn it, they just want to be officials and have no conscience!
They also work for themselves. After dredging the river, there will be less floods in the future! With fewer floods, the people's lives will be better. So my grandson thinks that working for relief is a way to get the best of both worlds!
Listening to Zhu Yunxi's eloquent talk, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but nod.
The frown that was originally caused by anger slowly faded away, and a smile even appeared on his face.
What he is most satisfied with about his grandson is his unique vision and courage to do things.
There were so many princes and grandsons, but he was the only one who knew how to look through the archives in the palace and how much money was spent on regulating the Yellow River and how many people were employed.
There are so many princes and grandsons, but no one dares to express his inner thoughts in front of him at this age.
After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and spoke slowly, Xi'er, I heard that you were kind-hearted and saved two homeless beggars, an old man and a young man?
Yes! Zhu Yunxi knew what he was doing. Someone must have told Zhu Yuanzhang. He immediately said that his grandson asked Liao Yong from the Duke of Chu's family to take him home and settle him down. He thought he would not have more than two mouths in the Duke of Chu's house!
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, there were so many refugees and beggars, why did you only save those two people?
This was a casual question, but Zhu Yunxi's expression became serious.
An old man and a young man are the grandson. It is the grandpa who is bringing a granddaughter! Zhu Yunxi whispered, they are helpless, grandson.

"
Zhu Yuanzhang understood what he meant and sighed, "Good boy!"
Zhu Yuanzhang felt something about his helpless grandparents and grandchildren, and looked at Zhu Yunxi with an even more loving expression.
Besides, there are so many refugees and beggars, and even my grandson cannot save them! Zhu Yunxi smiled and raised his head confidently. Saving one person is a small thing, but saving ten thousand people is a big thing. My grandson must be able to save the world and be an enemy of ten thousand people!
Well said! Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh, this is what the men of the Zhu family should do!
