Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 237 Wipe away tears

"How many widows and orphans do you support in Huangzhuang under your jurisdiction?"

Accompanied by Li Daquan, Emperor Chongzhen walked into Huangzhuang, looked at the buildings not far away, and said, "Have you prepared all the necessary things to keep out the cold and other things for them?"

Located in the Gyeonggi area of ​​northern Xinjiang, especially during the Little Ice Age, this winter is the most difficult. If you don't pay attention, you will get frostbite, and if it is serious, you will freeze to death.

Even in the forty-nine city of the capital, those people from poor families, or beggars, would freeze to death in their sleep every winter.

Li Daquan bowed slightly and said: "Going back to the emperor, the Huangzhuang that the servants are in charge of takes in all the widows and orphans of the three divisions of the Yongwei Battalion, Tianxiong Army, and Zhongyong Army who died in battle, and the nearby Huangzhuang is the same.

As of today, a total of 710 nine widows and 180 nine orphans have been taken care of in this Huangzhuang, and all the needs have been provided.

And in accordance with the previous emperor's will, eat three meals a day, eat every meal, and eat meat every seven days, the servants here will detail..."

Listening to Li Daquan's chatter, Emperor Chongzhen didn't interrupt, although he knew that Li Daquan wanted to show off, but the inner court eunuch who didn't show off was a good eunuch?

As long as they can do well and give them a corresponding future, it is nothing to Emperor Chongzhen. After all, there are still many things that need to be done by the inner court in the future.

However, Zhu Chunchen, who was accompanying him, was surprised. The Son of Heaven has lost all his money. He still has enough to eat three meals a day, and he can still eat a meal of meat every seven days. This is just one of Huangzhuang.

There are a lot of Huangzhuang that raises widows and orphans, and the number of people is even larger. Just this way of eating, can the internal money really support it?
Zhu Chunchen didn't quite understand that they were just a bunch of lowly people just to buy people's hearts. Why did the emperor treat them so well?
It's just that Zhu Chunchen would not know that Emperor Chongzhen regarded the orphans he raised as Daming's Yulin Army, and as Daming's echelon of talents to improve productivity.

Shouting allegiance to the emperor and Daming every day, telling them to eat well, telling them to have a barbaric physique, and telling them to know how to read and write. When they grow up, the talents cultivated here must be firm emperors.

Compared with the existing relatives of the Ming Dynasty, including most officials in the officialdom, or the generals who commanded the army, Emperor Chongzhen believed more in the Habayashi Army he raised!
But all this takes time.

"How is the construction of the school house to be built?" Emperor Chongzhen then asked: "It must be done so that every orphan can enter the school house to learn how to read and write."

"My lord, don't worry."

Li Daquan hurriedly replied: "The area of ​​the school has been planned, and the foundation is currently being dug. It will be built in the spring. The only problem right now is that there are not enough teachers to teach the lessons."

"You don't have to worry about this."

Emperor Chongzhen stopped, looked at the school field in front of him, and said, "I will ask the inner factory to solve it, and the teachers you need will be indispensable at that time."

Although the illiteracy rate in Ming Dynasty is very high, if you want to find some poor scholars, you can still find them. If there is not enough in the capital area, you can go to the whole of Beizhili to find them. The kind with extreme ideas.

Emperor Chongzhen spent his money, time and energy to support this group of orphans. He wanted them to reshape their cognition and drive them for himself in the future. original intention.

"His Majesty!!!"

"His Majesty!!"

While Emperor Chongzhen was meditating, excited roars sounded in front of the school grounds, but he saw dozens of big men with missing arms or legs running towards him with crutches. changed.

"You don't need to run here, I'll go over." Looking at the athletes of the former Yongwei Camp, Zhongyong Army, and Tianxiong Army, Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand and said, "I order you to stop!"

These disabled athletes all survived the bloody battle against Jianlu on the battlefield, but they also lost their arms or legs forever.

In this world of cannibalism, becoming such a disabled person has no other way of life except to wait for death, but Emperor Chongzhen gave them a way to survive.

"Yuanyongweiying, Li Shitou, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"Yuanyongweiying, Chen Ersheng, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"Yuan Tianxiong Army, Zhang Guangmin, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"The original loyal and brave army..."

A series of angry roars sounded, and Emperor Chongzhen felt very uncomfortable when he saw these athletes kneeling on one knee and even leaning on crutches to keep their balance.

"Get up, get up quickly."

Emperor Chongzhen stepped forward and stretched out his hands to help these athletes. At the same time, he turned his head, looked at Han Zanzhou and Zhu Chunchen with cold eyes, and shouted in a deep voice: "Are you all dead people!! Come here and help them up!! "

In the eyes of Zhu Chunchen and the others, these disabled soldiers are nothing more than humble existences, but to Emperor Chongzhen, they are the most amiable Haoerlang.

His Habayashi army, his talent team, needed these good boys to help him cultivate and give full play to their last remaining energy.

"Is it comfortable to live here?" Looking at the red-eyed athletes in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen said with concern: "Have your family members and descendants been taken over?"

"Comfortable!"

"It's all over!"

The disabled athletes headed by Li Shitou shouted emotionally. This scene made many orphans gathered in the school grounds all show doubts.

They don't understand why the cruel instructor in their eyes is so agitated now.

"Your Majesty... I am useless, I can no longer serve you loyally, I am loyal to Daming, I..."

Li Shitou, who suddenly became emotional, looked at the emperor of Ming Dynasty and couldn't help crying. This crying made all the disabled and healthy people around him cry.

The emperor they were loyal to did not abandon them because they were disabled. On the contrary, he took them all to Huangzhuang and asked them to do something within their power, which they had never thought of before.

"Wipe away your tears!"

Emperor Chongzhen stepped forward, patted Li Shitou on the shoulder, looked at the athletes in front of him, and said with emotion: "Who said you can no longer be loyal to me and Ming Dynasty?
What you are doing now is to be loyal to me, to teach these heirs of Paoze well, and you are the greatest heroes of Ming Dynasty.

Every one of them was a reputable man on the battlefield, but now he has become a softie in front of me, and if he wants to cry, let me bear it!hold on! "
