Daming: What abandoned baby?That is the grandson of the old Zhu family!

"Brother Xu, what is the most important thing to guard the country?" Zhu Mo looked like a questionable student, looking at Zhu Xiongying with admiration in his eyes.

"This policy of governing the country should pay equal attention to kindness and power. It should not be too tough, disregarding the people and the ministers and generals under it, but it should not be too weak. When encountering ministers with ill-intentions who want to rebel, it is natural to cut the mess quickly and prevent problems before they happen. .”

Every sentence Zhu Xiongying said made sense, and Zhu Mo nodded his head like a pounding garlic.

Zhu Xiongying calmed down and continued, "If you encounter foreign enemies, fight them out. It's absolutely nothing to be afraid of. Otherwise, other Shu kingdoms will definitely feel that the kingdom is weak and can be bullied."

"That's right, when some ministers in the court requested the Western Expedition, some ministers jumped out to oppose it! At that time, this king thought those people were simply unreasonable!" Zhu Mo said aggressively, puffing his cheeks.

Zhu Xiongying felt a little surprised that Zhu Mo's fief, which was thousands of miles away, could still take time to care about major affairs in the court.

It seems that this kid still has some ambitions.

It's not the kind of dandy prince who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.

"It's extremely stupid to cling to this small land and dream of dominating the world." Zhu Xiongying knocked on the table with one hand, "If every time the Tartars invaded and ignored them, this land would be gradually obscured by others. Take it for nothing."

"With such a small amount of land, it's not even enough to give fiefs to the princes, so we should fight it out!"

"That's right!" Zhu Mo stood up when he got excited, "Brother Xu is right, that's how it should be!"

"Hahahaha, you kid, it looks like the co-pilot is going to lead the army now."

The three chatted happily until the sun went down, when Zhu Mo and Zhu Yunxi reluctantly boarded the carriage back to the palace.

In the Eastern Palace, Concubine Lu leisurely drinks tea with Mrs. Tang in her arms.

The palace people came to report.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Shen has left the palace and is not in the palace."

"Huh?" Concubine Lu opened her eyes, "Aren't you in the palace? Didn't you just come, why did you leave the palace? It was very quiet, and no one announced."

The dyeing room is really open for some color, Concubine Lu really regards herself as the master of the East Palace now, and it is impossible to report His Royal Highness Shen Wang's comings and goings to her.

The palace man was scornful in his heart, but his face was still respectful.

"He left the palace with His Highness the Third Highness."

When Concubine Lu heard these three words, she immediately sat up in a stress reaction: "It's that brat again! He always spoils my good deeds!"

King Shen and Zhu Mo's coming to Beijing this time is a golden opportunity. Concubine Lu can be regarded as seeing the dawn, and immediately made up her mind to start wooing her, but she didn't expect to be taken a step ahead.

That damned Zhu Yunxi was really in the way.

"Mother." Zhu Yunwen walked in.

"Boy! Did you know that Zhu Yunxie has left the palace?" Concubine Lu pulled Zhu Yunxuan to sit down, "He also took Zhu Mo out of the palace together, most likely he went to find that bastard outside the palace again!"

Concubine Lu gritted her teeth fiercely.

"Eighty percent of this matter has been acquiesced by the emperor's grandfather, otherwise that kid Zhu Yunxie wouldn't be so courageous." Zhu Yunqiu said coldly.

"Why! The old man is so stupid! Why do you do such stupid things! I just can't figure out what's so good about that bastard! The old man favors him everywhere, even the prince is sent out!"

Concubine Lu's fingernails clasped on Mrs. Tang's metal shell, making a clicking sound, clearly showing the host's anger.

Zhu Yunwen: "Now that we are fledgling, we can't openly offend the emperor's grandfather, Long Wei. We can only wait for the time to come. Those who should be dealt with will be wiped out. Mother, don't worry."

Feeling a little comforted in her heart, Concubine Lu nodded, secretly thinking that her son is really promising now.

When the east wind came out, the willow trees by the river began to sprout, and the ice on the lake slowly melted, bringing a lot of breath of life.

Zhu Yuanzhang originally planned to hold a celebration for the returning army from the Western Expedition, but he did not expect that a memorial poured cold water on Zhu Yuanzhang.

A dam on the upper reaches of the Yellow River burst.

The unblocking of the ice surface, coupled with the heavy rain for several days, the water level soared, flooding a large area of ​​land at once.

The flood caused nearly [-] counties in the downstream to be flooded, and the villages and the land were instantly covered by the dirty water. Looking up, there was a vast ocean.

Babies crying, mothers barking, dogs biting, cocks crowing, all kinds of tattered clothes, incomplete furniture, and even whitened corpses floating on the water.

Countless houses collapsed, and trees as thick as seven or eight people's waists were uprooted.In an instant, all the fertile land in the village became Zeguo.

The yellow water is ruthless like a beast, how can it bear to engulf the people.Some people who were lucky enough to escape the engulfment were displaced, without clothes and food.

It can be described as terrible four words.

As soon as the news came, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious immediately, and ordered all the officials in the court to think of countermeasures quickly, and immediately allocated food to go to the disaster relief.

But within five days, as more and more people were affected by the disaster, the relief food allocated by the imperial court was simply not enough to fit between the teeth.

Zhu Yuanzhang dispatched the minister of the Ministry of Industry to repair the embankment and dam on the river bank, and at the same time collected grain everywhere. He was so busy that he aged a lot overnight.

However, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty still did not disappoint Zhu Yuanzhang, and he couldn't think of any good way.

But you can't watch the people in the disaster area starve to death. Relying on the government's relief alone is not a long-term solution, and the people in the capital still have to eat!

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a hurry, so he had no choice but to issue an order, asking the people all over the country to hand in grain early this morning, and each household had to hand over three stones more grain.

But seven days after the order was issued, not a single grain was confiscated.

Zhu Yuanzhang Longyan was furious, and was about to issue a death order for those who disobeyed the order, but fortunately he was persuaded by the minister.

Whenever encountering such difficult moments, Zhu Yuanzhang would go to Zhu Xiongying to resolve them.

As soon as he arrived at the mansion, he saw Zhu Xiongying was about to go out.

"Where is Huaiying going?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked feebly.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiongying didn't have a good face at all, and his tone was bad when he opened his mouth: "I'm planning to risk my life to enter the palace to speak to the emperor's grandfather."

"Where is it!"

"Why is Grandpa Huang so confused this time!" Zhu Xiongying was a little anxious, "I know that it is imminent to solve the flood in the Yellow River, but even so, Grandpa Huang can't give such an order!"

"Sanshi's food is equivalent to more than a month's ration for an ordinary family of five. After handing it in, what do the people eat? Besides, the food has just been planted and has not yet been harvested. Last year's food is almost exhausted. It is really inappropriate for the superiors to ask the common people to pay for food!"

Zhu Xiongying felt righteous indignation!
The tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty mainly came from the grain tax, which accounted for almost [-]% of the national and government tax revenue.

In ancient times, ten liters equaled about one bucket, and ten buckets equaled one hundred liters, which was equal to one dendrobium. Therefore, one stone of rice contained 59200 grams, or 59.2 kilograms.

In this way, it is so easy to hand over a stone of grain!
