Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 328
Ni Yuanlu saw that the treasury received more than 4000 million taels of silver, and thought it was a problem with the accounting of the Ministry of Households.

Now after what the emperor said, he suddenly realized that he lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, saying that it was not too much to throw the five bodies to the ground, and even compared Zhu Youjian to Qin Huang and Han Wu.

Zhu Youjian helped Ni Yuanlu up:
"Aiqing is flat, Qin Huang is the first emperor through the ages, although he died in the second generation, but he created the great unification of China, and no one in the future can compare with him."

After Ni Yuanlu died, Zhu Youjian remembered the food shortage of the common people, and his face gradually became serious:
"Ni Aiqing, although the national treasury is sufficient, the common people are still unable to provide food and clothing. Do you know this situation?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the people have no worries for the time being, and they will have enough food and clothing when the next year's spring plowing comes. Now that Ming has enough money to relieve the disaster, it is the people's blessing."

Hearing what Ni Yuanlu said, Zhu Youjian's good mood was immediately spoiled by him, and he said sharply:
"I asked you if you knew why the people were short of food. When I passed the decree to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes, where did they go? Why didn't you report it?"

The emperor's sudden change of face made Ni Yuanlu tremble all over, and hurriedly replied:

"Your Majesty, this humble official has already reported to the Ming cabinet. If Your Majesty has not received the memorial, he must have been temporarily suppressed by Master Li. Both potatoes and sweet potatoes have been planted, but the yield is too low. The common people are unwilling to plant them. Later, they all planted them." The rice and wheat, although the production has been greatly reduced due to the drought, should not be hungry!"

In fact, Li Banghua also had good intentions at the beginning. Daming was sending troops three ways to attack Dongyao and Meng Yuan, which was really expensive.

He knew that the people's harvest was not good, but compared to previous years, the people were already very happy. In order not to worry and distract the emperor, he did not report it for the time being.

I thought that the situation would improve after a while, and everything would be resolved by then, but how could I know that there was not a single drop of rain for half a year, and it has continued until now.

Although the snow has alleviated the drought problem, the winter is so cold that it is impossible to plant any crops.

Zhu Youjian smiled coldly:
"Disaster relief, it sounds good. There is no shortage of money now, but how can the food from the south be transported to the north? The canals are already frozen. If this happens again next time, you can all go home to farm. Go back and experience the common people. suffering."

Zhu Youjian turned his face like a book, which made Ni Yuanlu deeply understand what it means to be with a king like a tiger, and hastily bowed to salute:

"I know I was wrong, thank you Your Majesty for your kindness."

Although Ni Yuanlu is not the main person responsible, there are also suspicions of inaction. If they are not taught a little lesson, it will be too unfair to the people.

So Zhu Youjian said coldly:

"Officials above the seventh rank of the household department will be fined for half a year. I will teach you a lesson so that you can remember it longer. You go back immediately and gather the officials of the household department to go to the villages outside the city for field inspections. If you encounter people who are short of food, immediately give them They work it out."

"Ministry of obedience"

After Ni Yuanlu received the decree, she immediately withdrew from the Qianqing Palace. Ni Yuanlu frankly accepted the emperor's punishment of their household department.

Now that the salary has increased a lot, it has almost no impact on the family's expenses. He knows that this is the emperor reminding them to pay attention.

After walking out of the gate of the Qianqing Palace, Ni Yuanlu looked back at the Qianqing Palace, then knelt down on both knees, and kowtowed three times in a row to Zhu Youjian's direction.

Then stood up and opened his arms to the sky:

"Thank God, you finally opened your eyes and let us Da Ming have such a holy king. My Da Ming is finally no longer short of money. I hope that Da Ming will always be safe and peaceful..."

After Ni Yuanlu left, Zhu Youjian immediately delivered an order:

"It is said that Qinglong Cao Zhengchun has seen me."

"According to the purpose"

The little eunuch led the decree to pass on Qinglong Cao Zhengchun, Zhu Youjian turned around and told Ah Qing:

"Ah Qing, I'm going out of Beijing in a while, you go to see Bi Maokang and tell Bi Maokang that after he recovers from his illness, let him teach Zixuan all the techniques of researching firearms. Come back and hand it over to the princess, I am going to accept her as a righteous daughter."

"According to the purpose"

"My lord, you have three daughters now, and you will be very happy in the future."

Zhu Youjian smiled slightly, but did not answer Ah Qing's question.

"Go, you will know later."

"According to the order, Ah Qing resigns!"

Of course, Zhu Youjian needs some young cronies to rule the country with iron bowl.

Qi Jiguang and the others are middle-aged, Sun Chengzong is over 70 years old, and Zhu Youjian doesn't plan to use the system to summon people for everything. Talents from Daming still need to be reused.

Soon Qinglong Cao Zhengchun walked into Qianqing Palace:

"Qinglong Cao Zhengchun sees Your Majesty,"

"Waiting for courtesy, the two of you change into casual clothes and accompany me out of the city."

As Zhu Youjian said, he threw two sets of fur coats and two fur hats to the two of them.

"According to the purpose"

The two didn't say or ask anything, they immediately put on their fur coats, a eunuch brought three war horses, and the three of them walked out of the Qianqing Palace together.

This weather is still comfortable to ride in a carriage, but the heavy snow is flying all over the sky, and the ground has already been covered with half a foot of snow, the carriage cannot pass at all, and one can only travel on horseback.

The war horses were galloping on the snow. They were all wearing fur coats and fur hats. They were wrapped in airtight, and they didn't feel the biting cold wind. Only three war horses suffered.

The weather is really cold, and there are few pedestrians on the road. People stay at home and dare not go out. Besides, there is nothing to do when they go out, and they consume their energy.

About an hour later, they came to Changping. Most of Changping is mountainous, but there are a small part of plains, with a land area of ​​about 15 mu.

It turned out that the land here belonged to the Weisuo. Later, the Weisuo was canceled by Zhu Youjian, and the land returned to the common people. The total population of Changping is about [-].

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the population was small, and there were not enough cattle to cultivate the land. It was very difficult to cultivate the land. In order to maximize the use of land, each person was only allocated three acres of land.

Even though the per capita land is three mu, it is still very difficult for the common people to cultivate it, so there is [-] mu of land left to build a farm.
Later, a lot of cattle were brought back from Mengyuan and Dongyao, and almost every five families were given one cattle for free, so that their farming pressure was relieved.

The three dismounted at the entrance of the village, and walked directly to a family at the entrance of the village. This house had three earthen houses with thatched roofs, and the doors were closed tightly.

Since they came to this kind of place with the emperor, Qinglong and Cao Zhengchun knew that it was a private visit, so Qinglong went to the door and knocked on the door.

"Bang bang..."

"Squeak..."

After a while, the dilapidated door was opened, and a middle-aged woman's head protruded from the crack of the door. She looked at the three people outside and was taken aback.

Although the three of them are all wearing casual clothes, they are still rich or noble in the eyes of women. How could they come to their house?
"Is there something wrong with you? You went to the wrong house!"

Zhu Youjian was worried that Qinglong would frighten others, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Sister-in-law, excuse me, we are almost frozen, we want to go in and warm up for a while, what do you think?"

"Oh"

The woman looked at the heavy snow in the sky, and she seemed to be suddenly enlightened, and then opened the door.

"Come in quickly, don't let the air-conditioning into the house."
