Chapter 310 Volume [-] Turning hands into clouds, turning hands into rain.

Some are happy and some are sad.

When Li Chengqian moved to the Daming Palace, it also heralded that late autumn had passed and early winter had arrived.

The heavy snow flying all over the sky is like sharp swords shining with cold light, piercing people's hearts.

Years of snow disasters have made them dread the snow.

No one can guarantee how God will treat them this winter.

Is it benign or malicious?

All in the mind of God.

They didn't know how much Li Chengqian had prepared for this unknown winter, and they didn't know how much effort the entire Ming court had made for this unknown winter.

That's the way it is with little people.

Uneasy because they don't understand the arrangements of those in power.

Is this their fault?
No, never.

Their uneasiness just comes from the confusion and fear of the future, it's the same for anyone.

It's as if one's own destiny cannot be controlled by one's own hands, who is not confused?
Therefore, when the first snowflakes fell, everyone flocked to the Changming Grain Shop in unison. Only enough food was their greatest sense of security.

Their sense of security is so unpretentious.

For a moment, even in Riyue Mountain, some people panicked.

This is Li Chengqian's stronghold and his base. If Riyue Mountain is like this, let alone other places?

People's hearts!It is the hardest armor of a country, but also its weakest weakness.

In this regard, even Li Chengqian was helpless. After all, the establishment of the Ming court was too short.

Although the common people are willing to trust him, there is actually no conflict between trust and survival.

Therefore, on the day when Li Chengqian entered the Daming Palace, he arranged for Liu San and Yuchi Baolin to lead people to cut down the rows of towering trees facing the palace wall of the Daming Palace. This was originally Yi Yuanxi who deliberately stayed here to preserve the privacy of the palace. At the same time, it adds a sense of mystery.

But Li Chengqian didn't care. At the same time, he told Chunhua that from today onwards, the lights in the palace will be lit day and night.

In his later life, he is a little man who can understand the mind of a little man.

Now, all he can do is to let everyone see that their king is still there!

After finishing these, he summoned all the officials in Riyue Mountain to discuss matters in the Hall of Heroes at tomorrow's hour.

This can be regarded as the first early court of the Ming court.

Outside the palace wall, Changming Restaurant.

Li Xiaogong, who had bid farewell to Li Chengqian, was drinking with Niu Jinda in the restaurant.

After Niu Jinda was dismissed on the spot, he lived in Changming Restaurant directly. This is his attitude. Of course, this is also for Li Chengqian to see.

After all, if he was dismissed, he would no longer be an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and he could stay in Riyue Mountain logically.

"This heavy snowfall has allowed me to see the real imperial court of Ming Dynasty." Li Xiaogong said after taking a sip of his wine.

Niu Jinda smiled and said, "It's the same everywhere. When we conquered the world, didn't the common people do the same?" As he spoke, Niu Jinda seemed to think of something, shook his head, and sighed, "Hey, at that time, the old man saw it with his own eyes. The scene of being starved to death is like a scene of purgatory on earth, and I can't forget it to this day."

Speaking of this, Niu Jinda sighed.

In this world, people are not allowed to live.

Li Xiaogong also seemed to recall some past events, and said after a long time: "If there is still a snowstorm this year like in previous years, His Highness's life may not be easy."

"That's true." Niu Jinda said, "Although the common people's demands are low, no matter how low they are, they cannot be lower than their own lives. I don't know if His Highness is prepared."

With that said, Niu Jinda became worried.

Li Xiaogong shook his head, how did he know this, he changed the subject and asked, "Those people are in the return restaurant?"

"Yeah." Niu Jinda nodded, "But because of what the eldest princess said last time, they are now very low-key, and they are going in and out, so they should be waiting for something."

Those people naturally referred to Pei Mo and his party.

The reason why Niu Jinda must stay is also due to their factors.

"You are here alone, you should be more careful." Li Xiaogong said, "These guys, among other things, definitely have more thoughts than you, don't follow their ways."

Niu Jinda just smiled and said nothing, do you think I'm the only one?
It's just that this kind of words can be tacit, but not spoken.

As an emperor, even if he was his own son, Li Er would definitely keep his hand, there was nothing to say about that.

While the two were shaking their heads in the restaurant, there was still an endless stream of people buying food on the street.

Among these people, there are very few people who started the family with Li Chengqian, and most of them came from the three camps in the predecessor of Deyang City.

From this, we can also see the problems existing in the Ming court.

And in the afternoon, after Liu San and Yuchi Jingde led people to cut down the rows of big trees facing the palace wall of Daming Palace, the entire Daming Palace gradually appeared in front of everyone.

Because the Daming Palace itself is on a higher terrain, as long as you are on the streets in this city, you can almost see that magnificent palace.

I have to say that in the afternoon when the sky was full of snow, it was extremely shocking to see a palace that was absolutely magnificent for ordinary people.

However, it was just a shock.

After nightfall, Daming Palace is still brightly lit.

Even Li Xiaogong couldn't figure out what happened to Li Chengqian right now.

After all, it is absolutely extravagant to keep such a palace brightly lit.

Even if he doesn't understand it, the common people don't even understand it.

But they still didn't care.

Wang, is it not normal to live better and use more?
But until late at night, the Daming Palace was still brightly lit, and people could even be seen coming in and out under the candlelight.

Even if it was the next day, when the sky was getting dark, some people who got up early still saw that the Daming Palace was brightly lit, which made everyone a little curious.

Is it so extravagant?

But at this moment, someone discovered that countless officials had already waited outside the palace gate, and it seemed that something was wrong.

Not long after, the palace gate opened wide, and the officials who were waiting outside the palace gate entered the palace one after another.

Although it was the first court meeting of the Ming court, it was not as rigorous as that of the Tang Dynasty.

To be precise, Daming couldn't follow as many rules as Datang.

Soon, everyone entered the Hall of Heroes in order according to their official positions.

The civil servants are headed by Puxiruo, and the generals are respected by Qibi Heli.

Not to mention, there are still many people.

After all, it was the first court meeting, and Li Chengqian summoned all the officials in Riyue Mountain, even Fang Tiejiang, Zhang Erniu, and Chao Zheng were among them.

Everyone is nervous and excited at the moment.

To say that the most stable one has to be Qibi Heli.

After all, he was also from Khan before, so the situation is still stable, and the others are far behind.

But no matter what mood they are in, pride is indispensable.

Everyone knows what the Hall of Heroes means, and who doesn't know what it means to be able to enter the Hall to discuss matters?Therefore, each face is filled with some proud looks.

In the Hall of Heroes, Li Chengqian sat firmly on the throne above the ninth step, and his mood was indescribable.

Although he has been king for so long, this is the first time he sits on the so-called throne.

This is the first time I have been a human being in two lives.

Seeing everyone entering the hall one after another, even though everyone had rehearsed in their hearts, it was inevitable that they would make a fool of themselves at this moment.

Li Chengqian didn't care, it's normal, everyone is bumpkins, so don't ask so much.

After everyone stood in their positions, Pussiro took the lead to salute and shouted: "See Your Highness."

The layout of the Qunying Hall is roughly the same as that of the Taiji Hall. The biggest difference is that the Taiji Hall is prepared with futons, while the Qunying Hall is filled with chairs, which is a bit like the Juyi Hall in the Water Margin.

"Look at the seat." Li Chengqian said, "Today is the first court meeting of the Ming court. I am very honored that you are all here."

This is an encouragement.

Li Chengqian is most fortunate that the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty has not produced corrupt officials who broke the law so far.

But this is also normal. Generally speaking, when the dynasties and dynasties founded the country, there were very few such people. After all, the pursuit and the goal are still there. They still remember why they followed Li Chengqian step by step to today.

But with the passage of time, such people will appear, it is inevitable.

There is a saying that says it well, but it is hard to fill it.

After everyone took their seats, Li Chengqian said again: "Today's court meeting, we only discuss two things.

First things first, winter.

This is the top priority and the most important thing. No one knows what this winter will eventually develop, but because of the snowstorms for years, the common people are afraid. As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake for ten years, there is nothing to blame .

What the imperial court has to do is to ensure that the common people survive this severe winter. No matter whether there will be snow disasters like in previous years, this king hopes that none of the common people under our rule will die of hunger and cold this winter.

You must have seen it yesterday. When the first snowflakes fell, the people of Riyue Mountain flocked towards the Daming Grain Shop. This is still Riyue Mountain, what will happen to other cities? "

"Return to Your Highness." Pu Xiruo stood up and saluted and said, "It's no problem for my Daming Royal Court's food to last the spring of next year, so don't worry about it for the time being."

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said: "It's not that you say enough is enough, you know, but the common people don't know, they don't know, they will panic, panic about food shortages, panic the skyrocketing food prices, that's why they keep hoarding food.

Food is their last sense of security. "

That's right, everyone nodded in unison.

Upon seeing this, Li Chengqian said: "The Ministry of Households ordered that from now on, the Changming Grain Shop in the [-]th City of the Ming Dynasty must be filled with a thousand shi of grain every day. Paved.

At the same time, limited sales are not allowed. As long as he is a citizen of the Daming Royal Court and he can afford it, he is allowed to buy it without making things difficult.

We just want the common people to see that the royal court of the Ming Dynasty has plenty of food.

The Ministry of War sent at least [-] soldiers to guard each grain store, giving priority to dispatching the nearest army.

The secret spy department secretly investigated those who hoarded food wantonly, and paid close attention to those who hoarded more than [-]% of their rations in the coming spring. "

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Pusiruo, Qibi Heli, and Wu An all got up and said, "Take orders."

After dealing with the food matter, Li Chengqian looked at Fang Tiejiang and Zhang Erniu again, and asked, "Now, how much is there for returning to the blast furnace in stock for the prison? How much can it produce every day?"

The production of the return furnace is divided into two parts. Fang Tiejiang and the others are in charge of iron material processing, while Zhang Erniu and the others are in charge of the rest.

To be honest, there are now two workshops, each with 1000 people engaged in the production of return air furnaces, adding up to more than 2000 people, which is not a small scale.

"Returning to Your Highness, the return furnace has [-] stocks in stock, and the daily production ranges from [-] to [-]. The most important thing is that we are running out of iron materials." Zhang Erniu stood up and said.

Li Chengqian shook his head, the inventory is not enough, the output is not high, and the iron material has bottomed out, it's troublesome.

"Li Shilang." Li Chengqian said, "You arrange for Changming Company to start selling the return furnace, and the price can be slightly higher. By the way, the Ministry of Industry, how is the coal output?"

As for the current savings, he didn't ask, it must not be much.

After Li Qinjian took the order, Ihara Seok stood up and said, "Return to Your Highness, the daily output of coal is around [-] shi."

Baishi...

This output is actually not low in this era, but Li Chengqian is still not satisfied.

This is a consumable!
Calculated according to the daily consumption of ten catties of coal per ten people, the daily consumption is three thousand stones, which is not enough to make ends meet!

"We need to increase investment in coal mines." Li Chengqian said, "Under the premise of ensuring safety, we should mine as much as possible. Now, we can only use it together with other fuels."

The so-called other fuels are cow dung and wood. There is no hope for cow dung. After the snowstorms these years, the cows are almost dead. There are no cows, so there is no cow dung.

"My minister takes orders." Ihara Seok said.

Li Chengqian looked at Pusiro again, and asked, "By the way, how many gloves and cloaks are in stock?"

"Returning to Your Highness, there are already 20 pairs of gloves in stock, plus more than [-] pairs of daily production, which is enough for now.

As for the cloak, the current inventory is only [-], and the output is far from comparable. "

Li Chengqian nodded: "All of them are sold in Changming stores. At the same time, Changming branches are opened in various cities. Even if ordinary people can't afford these things for the time being, we should let them see the hope that they can afford them."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we have already determined the price, and it will be fine." Pussiro said.

He didn't do it for nothing during this period of time, and he really knew everything about Riyue Mountain, big and small.

"General Qibi." Li Chengqian said again, "Now that Piaohe County is in chaos, there must be no loss on the border at this time, whether it is the north or the south, it is the same, especially in the north, add [-] troops to Zhenbei Mansion to prevent unforeseen circumstances. need."

"The last general takes orders."

Everyone is aware of this point, but there is actually nothing to say.

Li Chengqian breathed out, and said: "There must be more than these things to protect against the cold and severe winter. Take your time and don't worry. By the way, these supplies are only sold to the common people of the Ming court."

This is the most important thing, don't let Li Qinjian be too happy, if you sell them all to other places, then Li Chengqian probably has the intention to kill people.

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian looked at Chao Zheng again, and continued: "Doctor Chao, your medical clinic should be prepared at any time. In winter, if there are many illnesses, you should also have countermeasures."

"Your Highness, don't worry, Daoist Sun is here now, even if there are some difficult and miscellaneous diseases, there will be no serious problems." Chao Zheng immediately stood up.

In this regard, Li Chengqian agrees very much, and Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, needless to say.

"Okay, let's talk about the second thing." Li Chengqian continued, "Everyone knows that the fifteen cities of the Ming court have basically been completed, but few people from the various tribes on the grassland have entered the city.

Taking this opportunity, the king wants to place everyone in each city.

For example, Lou Ning's tribe, all its clansmen were arranged in Chishui City.

One of the Qiu family is placed in the six cities of the grassland..."

Li Chengqian talked about this content for a long time, with one purpose, to stagger the arrangements.

To put it simply, whoever is in power, their clansmen cannot be arranged in this place, and in the future, their clansmen will not be able to govern in this place either.

The reason is that they are worried that these guys will become sitters, become more and more powerful, and eventually become the local emperors of a certain city.

This is not what Li Chengqian wants to see.

Except, of course, the military.

There's no way around this, especially the guards of the six border towns, let them bring a group of strange soldiers and horses, and if the enemy comes to attack them, why don't they beat them?
For this, everyone has no opinion.

This is the most important thing a king should do in order to stabilize his royal power.

After more than an hour of deliberation at the court meeting, the two matters were basically finalized, and Li Chengqian said: "Gao Chunxing, write a notice, the content is about the arrangements for resisting the cold winter, and post it immediately after writing, and the rest will prepare separately. "

At this point, the first court meeting of the Ming court came to an end.

Not long after the court meeting ended, when everyone was busy with their own affairs, the second announcement from the Ming court came out.

Its content is no different from what Li Chengqian said.

After the common people read the notice, one or two were immediately excited.

Their king has not forgotten them!

And with the spread of the notice, the Changming Grain Shop directly piled up thousands of stones of grain on the street, which directly impacted their visual nerves.

No matter how well written the notice is, it is only a piece of paper after all, but the actual grain piled up there is the real notice!
At the same time, the news that His Royal Highness Prince Ming had worked out this cold protection plan without sleep did not know why it spread like wildfire.

At that moment, many people suddenly realized.

No wonder the Daming Palace was brightly lit day and night. It turned out that their Highnesses were constantly worrying about how they would survive this cold winter.

This made many ordinary people extremely moved.

Some people even shouted that they must have been a kind person in their previous life, so they can meet such a wise and benevolent monarch in this life.

When Li Xiaogong and Niu Jinda learned all this in Changming Restaurant, they were both stunned.

The fuck was still worrying about this and that yesterday, and the relationship was settled overnight?
What does it mean to turn your hands into clouds and cover your hands as rain?

Isn't that what it is?
After all the disadvantages appeared in front of everyone with the brightly lit Daming Palace, everything began to change.

It seems that people really saw a king who was diligent in government and serving the people under the lights in the dark.

And the mountain of grain piled up at the gate of the Changming Grain Shop is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the people of the Daming Royal Court!

As for the gloves, cloaks, and air return stoves sold by Changming Trading Company, they are constantly emphasizing that their king has never forgotten them!
At that moment, Riyue Mountain boiled again.

The faces of everyone are no longer worried and helpless, but more proud and satisfied.

They are proud and content to have such a king!
Because, their king never gave up on them!

Has anyone ever treated them like this in the past?
Murong Fuyun?

Hehe, the elderly still remember how Murong Fuyun abandoned them back then.

Murong Shun?
Hehe, didn't Murong Shun stir up the turmoil in Chishuiyuan before?

There is no harm without comparison. At this moment, there is only one king in their hearts!

That is Li Chengqian!

Because, this is the only king who cared about their life and death before the disaster came!
At this moment, looking at Daming Palace again, the palace instantly became taller...

 What time will you come tomorrow to guarantee the monthly pass?
