Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Youjian smiled and shook his head:

"This is different. Huizhou has one prefecture and six counties, but it has a large population.

However, due to the congenital constraints of mountainous areas, transportation to and from the area is inconvenient.

As a result, most people in Huizhou are mainly engaged in business, rather than workshop production, which consumes more manpower. "

"The reason why I can move Huizhou merchants is because the people inside Huizhou also want these people to fall.

Anhui merchants who occupied a large amount of land...

Their deaths are in the interests of Huizhou people.

This is why Fang Zhenghua forced Wang Ranming to death and forced the eight families to collapse, but it did not cause a big riot.

As long as I don't move the fields in Huizhou, the people of Huizhou will acquiesce in the death of the Eight Families. "

Zhang Yan raised her eyebrows:

"Your Majesty means that the conflict between Hui people and Hui merchants on land is the fundamental reason for the collapse of Hui merchants?"

"Yes, rather than saying that I killed the Huizhou merchants, it is better to say that the death of the Huizhou merchants is in the interest of everyone."

Zhu Youjian nodded:

"The wealthy gentry in the south of the Yangtze River also occupy a large amount of land.

However, they are different from the Hui people who are located in mountainous areas and rely more on the land to survive.

People in Jiangnan mostly make a living by working...

And this job is precisely in the hands of the wealthy gentry!

Just imagine, under such circumstances, how could the wealthy gentry be so restless? "

Zhu Youjian laughed:

"It's like someone wants to attack us. Do you think those working people can agree?"

Zhang Yan understood.

This is why Master Wanli sent people to collect taxes, but they were beaten to death by the local people!

Suddenly, she chuckled, not knowing what she remembered.

Zhu Youjian was very curious and asked again and again.

Zhang Yan covered her mouth and smiled with crooked eyebrows:

"After saying so much, you haven't--you've already taken action."

Zhu Youjian was taken aback.

But Zhang Yan pointed at herself and said with a sweet smile:

"I dare say you are not wooing the Zheng family to deal with them!"

"Uh!"

Zhu Youjian clapped his hands, jumped off the fence, and said to Zhang Yan:

"I'm done with it, I'm done with it.

I am convinced of you.

I can’t hide this little thought from you! "

I can't talk today...

This woman is so smart, she sees through everything for him.

To continue talking would be to humiliate oneself...

As Zhu Youjian walked, he shouted to Wang Chengen:

"Invite all the nobles to Nuanyang Palace. I want to have a lively New Year's Eve!"

……

Inside Kunning Palace.

Queen Zhou was sitting in a trance on the cushioned Taishi chair.

"Cui'e, Your Majesty is still talking to Queen Yi'an?"

The joy and sorrow could not be clearly seen on Zhou's face.

However, Cui'e, who was familiar with her, understood that the queen was already angry.

In previous years, at the end of the year, the emperor would summon everyone from the harem to Kunning Palace.

today……

When the emperor returned to the palace for the first time, he did not go back to her Kunning Palace first, but first talked with the emperor's sister-in-law...

Mr. Zhou was angry.

Cui'e lowered her eyebrows and agreed, not daring to make a sound for fear of offending the empress.

She was more afraid of the queen than the emperor.

The emperor was famous for his good temper and never criticized his subordinates harshly.

The queen is different. As long as she makes a mistake, it is easy to kneel down.

It is even common to kneel in the snow for several hours in the winter.

Zhou gritted his teeth, but couldn't get angry.

The emperor didn't even go to Nuanyang Palace, but just talked with Queen Yi'an in the front hall of the palace.

If she had an attack because of this and word spread, it would only be a source of laughter.

"Have you ever found out where the reunion will be held this year?"

The Ming Dynasty was a civil power dynasty, the largest in history.

He is most famous for cooking for the royal palace.

There was no imperial dining room in the Ming Dynasty, so it was Guanglu Temple who cooked for the palace.

Guanglu Temple in the Ming Dynasty was an institution dedicated to catering to the central government of the dynasty——

\"From jade food, celebrations, and sacrificial ceremonies, to the officials' offerings, to the banquets of the barbarians, and as small as the banquets of the Imperial Guard and Supervision Bureau, it all comes from this.\"

but……

Just like that convention, no matter what it is, as long as the civil servants have the power, it will be done in a muddle.

Even the department responsible for "eating" at Guanglu Temple is the same!

"Jiuzazu · Wubu [-]" says it very clearly:

\"Nowadays, the diet of high officials in the imperial court has no special taste, except for fish and meat, which are roasted and thick. \"

What do you mean?

Nowadays, all the food given to the palace is not delicacies from the mountains and seas, but just big fish and meat, mainly fried, grilled, stuffed and souped.

As early as the second year of Emperor Yongle's reign, "Yongle Records" recorded a state banquet held by Zhu Di in honor of the Queen:

Serve: Press the wine into five flavors. There are five kinds of fruits. Five kinds of tea and food. Burn five kinds. Three kinds of soup. Eat the steamed buns twice. Horse meat rice. Five minutes of wine.

Middle table: four kinds of wine. The fruits are all kinds. Three kinds of soup. Eat the steamed buns twice. Horse, pig and mutton rice. Five minutes of wine.

It's like following the general on the road and drinking wine. Pink soup. Double down on steamed buns and pork rice. One hour of wine.

I Nima...

Is this a state banquet?

Five dishes, five fruit plates, two steamed buns, rice soaked in broth, five kinds of wine...that's it?

Forget about the Qing Dynasty, if you dare to let my Aixinjueluo family eat this, all the eight hundred generations of my family will be chopped off by you!

Although I, the Qing Dynasty, were afraid of being poisoned and therefore did not eat hot food, we still had 108 dishes every meal!

What a fool!

There was a proverb in the capital at that time:

Articles from the Hanlin Academy, swords and guns from the Arsenal;

Guanglu Temple Tea Soup, a prescription from Taiyuan Hospital.

What do you mean?

These things are all the same——

Not reliable!

How many emperors have died from taking the prescriptions from the Imperial Hospital?

The swords and guns of the Arsenal Department, and how many generals' helmets are broken?

The Hanlin Academy's articles are beautiful, but who has done practical things?

The food at Guanglu Temple is a scam...

The common people have never tasted it, but they all know it.

The food at Guanglu Temple was so unpalatable that the emperor had to eat it because it was a system, a "fixed consumption unit."

As the old saying goes - "state-owned units" are difficult to reform...

But there is always a way.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the Guanglu Temple banquet was still held, and officials continued to spend public money here...

But the emperor went to the eunuch.

The one who broke this rule was the unreliable Wu Zong Zhu Houzhao!

Starting from Wuzong, the responsibility of delivering meals to the palace fell on three people, namely Si Li Jian Bing Bi, Si Li Jian Zhang Yin, and Dong Chang Zhang Yin.

Most of the time, three people take turns handling it.

Especially Dongchang...

This institution, which became notorious in later generations, was once the favorite "cooking" department of the Ming Dynasty emperor.

This is also one of the incriminating evidences of Wuzong Zhu Houzhao...

I can't help it, I'm so disobedient!

Our literati group gives you pig food, but you dare not eat it?

Damn it, uncle, go fall into the water!

So, Zhu Houzhao died! ! !

After the lonely Jiajing came to power, the literati group thought that the young emperor, without the support of his father and brothers, would be easy to handle.

Who knew that this master of power would be struggling hard with the literati group under his butt.

Jiajing will naturally not eat the "pig food" produced by the literati group.

He was hiding in the palace, and even the civil servants could not see him, let alone the minor officials of Guanglu Temple...
