Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 682 Eternal benevolence, the only one!
Xingyang,

This place has become the temporary center of Ming Dynasty.

Because the Luanjia of the Ming Emperor is still here.

Yes, although there was a showdown, Zhu Youxiao did not return to the capital. On the contrary, he ordered his entourage to work with the officials. Facing the emperor who took the lead in working, what else could the officials say?
Suffering and tired?

Do you feel that your noble body should not do these lowly jobs?

What a joke!
Didn't you see that the emperor and the capital are working?
The emperor is not tired, do you dare to feel tired?

Think I'm too comfortable!

Since the emperor is showing his benevolence, all the officials will naturally accompany the emperor, so a scene that is rarely seen in the past dynasties appeared: the emperor, the first assistant, the civil and military officials, generals and lieutenants all work together with their sleeves rolled up , Clean up the silt, dredge the river, consolidate the embankment, and clear out the ruins to rebuild Xingyang.

Zhu Youxiao, who was wearing old farmer's clothes, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the busy construction site, and nodded with satisfaction: "This is cleaned up, and I will feel at ease when I rebuild it in the future."

After a catastrophe, there must be a catastrophe, especially floods, thousands of miles of land, starvation everywhere, no one knows what is in the muddy water, and often disaster relief is not timely, prone to disease.

However, now that the Ming emperor is here, the soldiers and the people worked extremely hard, and the ruins of Xingyang were cleared out in just a few days.

Facing the cleaned up Xingyang, Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied: "Master, in this way, it will be much easier for the people of Xingyang to rebuild their homes."

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "The emperor loves Xingyang so much, this Xingyang will be the emperor's other home in the future."

Zhu Youxiao nodded in satisfaction. As an emperor, everything he did had deep meaning.

What is he fighting the flood here for?
Just for the common people?
More for the Ming Dynasty, for the Zhu family's foundation.

As Zhang Haogu said, Zhu Youxiao is the son of heaven, the most honored in the world, and he personally went to the danger to fight the flood and rescue the disaster with the people. Who in Xingyang will not miss Zhu's family and Zhu Youxiao in the future?
Just as Yongding County is Zhu Youxiao's steadfast base camp, Xingyang will become Zhu Youxiao's second base camp in the future.

And because Zhu Youxiao personally rescued the disaster here, whether Henan develops in the future or the imperial government allocates funds, it will definitely be biased towards Xingyang, so that Xingyang can develop better, and the people love Zhu Youxiao, and the imperial government's policies must be fully implemented After all, this Xingyang will become the second Yongding County in the future, and may even be the place where the industrialization is completed the fastest in Henan.

To put it bluntly, even if Zhu Youxiao betrayed his relatives in the future and the court ministers would not listen to him, Xingyang and Yongding would definitely support Zhu Youxiao forever.

If the entire Ming Dynasty belonged to Zhu's family, then Xingyang and Yongding were Zhu Youxiao's private fiefdoms. The people here were grateful for Zhu Youxiao's benevolence and kindness, and their children and grandchildren must love Zhu's family and Zhu Youxiao.

As the monarch who conquered the South and the North, opened up the territory and established a prosperous age, Zhu Youxiao naturally did not need the manpower and material resources of these two places, but what about the future?

Could it be that Zhu Ciran can't use it?

Zhu Youxiao's thinking is very far-reaching. He not only wants to leave to future generations the image of a hero who conquered the South and the North and opened up a prosperous age, but also leaves an image of a benevolent monarch who loves the people and treats his subjects generously in the hearts of the people all over the world.

Zhu Youxiao still remembered that Zhang Haogu once told him the story of Emperor Xiaowen, Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wen ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety. Even the common people have read Emperor Wen's love for a full 400 years, and its legacy is profound. How many emperors in history can match the love of the common people?
Even if there are wars in the later generations and the world changes, the tomb robbers are unwilling to steal the Baling of Emperor Wen, and the Hu people even go to worship and respect. Of course, there must be exaggerations in this, but the Red Eyebrow Army rebelled and did not move the Baling , It is enough to see the deep influence of Emperor Wen in the hearts of the people.

The sword is just surrender, and benevolence and virtue have people's hearts.

Zhu Youxiao has a deep understanding of this sentence. With his hard work now, even if Long Yu dies in a hundred years, the people of the world will definitely remember his kindness, and future generations will also remember him. There was an Emperor Tianqi in Ming Dynasty , has always been concerned about the people, not only studying rice and grain, encouraging the world to produce, sharing land and light levies equally with the people, and even personally fighting floods and helping the people to overcome natural disasters.

These are the intangible influences, his legacy to future generations.

"Not enough, not enough."

As Zhu Youxiao was speaking, he suddenly turned around and said to Zhang Haogu, "Master, how about I entertain the people here in Xingyang?"

Zhang Haogu was stunned for a moment, then bowed and saluted: "Great kindness."

Soon, Zhu Youxiao ordered to go down, and he was going to host a banquet to entertain the people.

When the news spread, how excited were the people of Xingyang and the folks from all over the country who came to support them?
The emperor hosted a banquet, which is something that would never happen in eight lifetimes. Now the emperor not only eats and lives with them, but also entertains them. This is a great blessing!

Naturally, the emperor's banquet should not be too simple. Xingyang has a large number of potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, beans, and some wild vegetables. These are not enough, but fortunately, there are enough wild animals and fish, and Xingyuan carries enough. The luggage, so the simple banquet has ingredients.

Large chunks of potato stew, plus noodles, stewed wild vegetables, boiled fish soup, and steamed corn, sweet potatoes, beans and dry rice stewed with wheat, etc. It looks very simple, but to the common people Said that it was already an extremely sumptuous feast.

The people of Xingyang, people from all over the world participated in the production of this banquet together. The old and weak, women and children all went to the battle to cook the banquet for tens of thousands of people. Finally, benches were set up on the construction site as dining tables, and everyone sat on the ground.

Although simple, but everyone's heart is warm.

Zhu Youxiao took a piece of bread and greeted the people everywhere while eating. He knew most of these people. He said a word here, and the chat lengthened there, so that the people in every place could feel the emperor's respect for them. Shengdou Xiaomin's attention.

The atmosphere was warm, even if there was no wine, the simple fish soup sprinkled with salt made the people drunk.

Huang Liji was chewing slowly with half a section of sweet potato in his hand. Seeing that the officials around him were also holding corn, flour cakes, and sweet potatoes, although they ate very little but still smiling, he sighed inwardly.

He watched the people cheering every time Zhu Youxiao went there, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Today's Zhu Youxiao is really a big trend, and no one in the world can stop him anymore.

Conquering the South and the North to expand the territory is nothing, but coupled with the support of the people in this pioneering and prosperous age, Zhu Youxiao's reputation among the people will inevitably rise to the point where it cannot be added.

At this time, who can control the current supreme being in the world?

Now this person is still turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain, controlling the rivers and mountains as he pleases. Who would dare not obey?

Zhu Youxiao returned to the center after walking around, looked at the people in all directions, Zhu Youxiao put down the food in his hands, and said loudly: "Fathers of Daming, I have something I have been holding back in my heart for a long time!"

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's voice, the noisy banquet of the common people calmed down, all civil and military officials, common people and soldiers all looked at Zhu Youxiao.

With a serious face on Zhu Youxiao's face, he said loudly: "Since ancient times, this history book has only recorded emperors, generals, and romantic talents, but never remembers the people, and does not remember how the people live, whether they can live and work in peace and contentment."

"The so-called prosperity means that the people suffer, and death means that the people suffer. The rise and fall of a dynasty has always been due to the hard work of the people."

"Since I ascended the throne, when I read the history books, my heart is full of emotion."

"This world is said to belong to me, but in fact, the world belongs to my fathers, fellow villagers, and big guys. It's nothing to me."

"This natural disaster, I fought against the disaster together with all the elders, brothers, and sisters. I have seen the warmth and coldness of the world and understood the hardship of people's livelihood."

"I thought that with the implementation of the New Deal, the equal distribution of land, light levies and low taxes, and one-body payment of food, the people's lives would be better, but the Hubei party made me understand that there are still many places in this world that I haven't seen, and there are still others. The life of the few people is still not getting better."

"After thinking about it, this is all my responsibility, the responsibility of the court."

"I understand that this Great Ming belongs to the Zhu family, but it also belongs to the people of the world. It cannot be governed by me alone, nor can the country be peaceful and the people safe with the court alone."

"The prosperity of the Ming Dynasty was built by the folks, the common people in the fields, the craftsmen who studied and researched things, the soldiers who guarded the frontiers, and the people all over the world. "

"This natural disaster has allowed me to see the blood, integrity, and tenacity of my fathers and villagers. I am very relieved. The people of Daming have backbone, blood, and tenacity. This Ming Dynasty will definitely last forever."

"Da Ming has today's prosperity and is not with me, but the common people and soldiers of Daming, I am here to thank my fathers and folks."

"The Qianqiu community of the Ming Dynasty is prosperous and prosperous, so please leave it to the folks."

As Zhu Youxiao said, he was really surprised by the people in the audience.

Now, all civil and military officials were dumbfounded, and the common people were even more stunned.

After a long time, as a pair of chopsticks fell to the ground, an old man knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, how can you salute us common people?"

The people came to their senses and knelt down one after another: "Your Majesty, we ordinary people can have a good life today, thanks to you!"

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. It's us, the common people, who want to thank you!"

"It's a blessing for us common people to have an emperor like you in Ming Dynasty."

"Your majesty, get up quickly, we can't bear it, we can't bear it."

"Your Majesty, we are the people of Daming in life, and we are the ghosts of Ming in death!"

"The emperor loves the people, and the people of the world love you too."

During Zhu Youxiao's visit, the common people were more than grateful and kowtowed in tears. How many such emperors have existed for thousands of years?
That is to say, Emperor Hongwu in the early Ming Dynasty loved the people benevolently, but Emperor Hongwu did not do this!
The majestic son of heaven, the Ninth Five-Year Lord, saluted the people, this is the first time in thousands of years!

What kind of benevolent emperor and master can have such a heart, such a boldness!

Fathers and folks, all the soldiers and soldiers in the audience were tearful, and the soldiers died for their confidants. Today, the emperor of Tianqi is here, how can the common people and soldiers not live and die together?
After the feast of the common people, Zhu Youxiao will return to the capital.

The people in Xingyang kowtowed at the roadside, watching their emperor drifting away from the distance, and from Xingyang to Kaifeng, the people in Kaifeng rushed to hear what happened in Xingyang, and Zhu Youxiao also chatted with the elders of the people in Kaifeng Talking about family life, talking about the disaster, personally condolences to the people and visiting the elderly, the people in Kaifeng couldn't help feeling that Zhu Youxiao is really the best benevolent emperor in the world. Where can I find such a benevolent emperor who loves the people?

Looking at Zhu Youxiao's performance, Zhang Haogu was filled with emotion in his heart. Today's Zhu Youxiao has truly become the supreme being in charge of the world and titled Tianxian.

When Xingyuan returned to the capital, Zhang Ruitu, Wei Guangwei, Lu Xiangsheng, and Qiao Yunsheng led all the officials of the capital to welcome him. Apart from the civil and military officials, the people of the capital also came out to welcome their emperor back.

The people of the capital benefited the most from the implementation of the New Deal, and they also loved Zhu Youxiao very much. Now that the emperor returned to the capital, they spontaneously came out to welcome him without the government mobilizing him.

Welcomed by civil and military officials and cheered by the people of the capital, Zhu Youxiao returned to his capital, his Forbidden City.

The first thing Zhu Youxiao did when he returned to the Forbidden City was to take Huang Maosong, the magistrate of Macheng, who had harmed the people, to Caishikou Lingchi, and swear his attitude to the world: those who harmed the people of Ming Dynasty, die!
As soon as the news of Zhu Youxiao's trip spread in the capital, the people in the capital knew how much their emperor loved the people and how benevolent and righteous they were.

Wechat made private visits to investigate people's sentiments, rescued the people, severely punished the bad gentry, went to the disaster area to eat and live with the people to fight floods and rescue disasters, and even jumped into the flood to plug the gap when the flood peak came, and then cleaned up the ruins with the people to rebuild their homes
Such a good emperor, where to find, where to find?
It took thousands of years for such a benevolent and enlightened lord to be met by them. This is the luck of the people and the good fortune of Ming Dynasty.

Whether it's the common people, craftsmen, or soldiers, all the people in the world are rejoicing, proud and honored that they were born in such a prosperous and prosperous Ming Dynasty, and the officials of the new party are also full of enthusiasm. A rare prosperity.

But the officials of the old party are worried. Facing the heart of the world, Zhu Youxiao, whose cultural and military tools are at its peak, how can they corrupt the law, oppress the people, and make money?
Zhu Youxiao doesn't care about the thoughts of those old party officials.

Now that Zhu Youxiao, who has seen the true face of the old party clearly, does not have a good look at these moths that have harmed his Ming Dynasty. If these people are still useful, Zhu Youxiao would like to dismiss them all and replace them with new party officials.

It's a pity that there are not enough officials in the new party at present, and it is impossible for only one party to exist in the court of Ming Dynasty.
A few days later, at the cabinet meeting, Zhang Haogu, Zhang Ruitu, Huang Liji, Wei Guangwei, Lu Xiangsheng, Qiao Yunsheng, three new parties and three old parties, the cabinet ministers discussed over tea.

Zhang Haogu held a teacup and blew on the hot air: "Governor Chu Xingyu of Hubei committed suicide, and the people of Hubei are relieved, but now Hubei is in need of prosperity, and there is an urgent need for capable ministers and officials to implement the new policy and appease the people's livelihood. The post of Governor of Hubei , Do you elders have some opinions?"

Huang Liji's eyelids twitched, and he looked at Zhang Haogu, who was in the presence of the old god. How can one give up easily?

"Cough cough." Huang Liji coughed lightly, and then said slowly, "Yuanfu, this Hubei is now waiting for a lot of waste, and neither the officials nor the common people can stand the toss. According to me Look, the New Deal still needs to be worked out gradually, it cannot be accomplished overnight."

Wei Guangwei immediately said: "It's very true, what Huang Xiang said is very true, people in Hubei are panicking now, and we need to be careful in governance."

Zhang Haogu nodded: "Then Prime Minister Huang, what are the high opinions of Prime Minister Wei, can there be talents for His Majesty?"

As soon as these words came out, Huang Liji was choked. He is a talented candidate. How dare he recommend it to Zhu Youxiao at this moment?
The previous Chu Xingyu not only made the Donglin Party lose face, but also made Zhu Youxiao lose face. Now that Huang Liji recommends candidates, isn't he afraid that Zhu Youxiao will investigate him directly.

Therefore, Huang Liji did not dare to speak easily.

Seeing that Huang Liji didn't speak up, Wei Guangwei knew Huang Liji's concerns, so Wei Guangwei pondered for a while and said, "This old man has someone to choose."

Zhang Haogu's expression remained unchanged, with a smile on his face: "Wei Xiang just say it."

Wei Guangwei said: "Huguang does not separate families. Although Hunan and Hubei are now separated, the governor of Hunan, Wei Mingli, is diligent in government and loves the people. He is well-known for his dedication to public duties. What does Yuanfu think?"

Zhang Haogu nodded: "Wei Mingli, governor of Hunan, is a personal choice. Does Prime Minister Wei have any other candidates?"

Wei Guang smiled and said, "Why don't you take a look at Lu Xiang and Qiao Xiang's candidates first?"

"Alright," Zhang Haogu turned to look at Lu Xiangsheng and Qiao Yunsheng, "Is there a suitable candidate for Lu Xiangsheng and Qiao Yunsheng?"

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head: "There is no suitable candidate."

Qiao Yunsheng also said more directly: "This matter still depends on Yuanfu's opinion."

Obviously, Qiao Yunsheng was very knowledgeable, and he didn't want to get involved at all. He just wanted to retire safely and securely as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and a cabinet veteran.

Zhang Haogu looked at Zhang Ruitu again: "Is there anyone for Cifu?"

Zhang Ruitu smiled and said, "I have a candidate in mind, but I still want to hear Yuanfu's opinion first."

Zhang Haogu nodded, and then said: "There is indeed a candidate here in this pavilion, what do you think about Xingyang county magistrate?"

Huang Liji frowned slightly: "Although the magistrate of Xingyang County is of good character, didn't he say that he would stay in Xingyang? How can he go to Hubei to take up his post in the next three or two years? What's more, he is only a fifth rank at the moment, and he is only a county in politics. How can a province be governed if the government is not in charge?"

Zhang Haogu smiled: "It is precisely because of his lack of experience that he has to be given a chance. Such a young talent, a pillar of the court, can always grow with more burdens."

Zhang Ruitu immediately echoed: "I also think that Xingyang county magistrate is the most suitable, and he must be able to take on important responsibilities."
