Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 466 Taste of the Year
  Lunar New Year's eve.

The atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger.

Every household in the city has posted red paper and hung red lanterns in preparation for the Spring Festival and the new year.

The development of the Ming Dynasty is getting better and better, and the people are living more and more prosperously. Even ordinary people in the villages outside the city have enough spare money at this time to buy a lot of things to go home. They will have a good year and a happy family. .

The people were happy, and Zhu Yuanzhang was even happier.

Seeing the prosperous scene outside the palace, even in the ice and snow, it could not freeze the enthusiasm of the people for celebrating the New Year.

Before the New Year's Eve dinner, Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Xuan with him out of the palace for a walk. He had not done this for several years. He could observe the sentiments of the people and feel the joy of the Chinese New Year. This was better than sitting in the palace all day. It will be much better to see the various memorials presented by the people below describing how the people celebrate the New Year.

Only by visiting the place in person can you truly enjoy it with the people.

"Under the rule of Grandpa Huang, the Ming Dynasty is getting better and better day by day. This is great."

Zhu Xuan saw the smile on Grandpa Huang's face and added: "Grandpa Huang is the only emperor in the history who is comparable to Emperor Qin and Emperor Han Wu, and he is also the emperor who best understands the sufferings of the people."

"We are nothing but an emperor for eternity."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly, then stopped laughing and continued: "We are just driving away the Tatars and restoring our Han people, but we understand the sufferings of the world best. My dear grandson is right, we have even been beggars. No one understands the suffering of the people the most than we do."

As an emperor with the lowest background and one bowl at the beginning, Lao Zhu is the most qualified to talk about the sufferings of the people.

More qualified than all other emperors.

"Precisely because Grandpa Huang has endured hardship, he doesn't want our descendants to endure hardship."

Zhu Xuan said softly: "I don't want the people in the world to suffer anymore."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "That's right! But Ming Dynasty is getting better and better. It's not our fault, it's your good grandson's fault."

"What credit can my grandson have?"

Zhu Xuan pretended not to understand and asked innocently.

Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and tapped Zhu Xuan's forehead, and asked: "My dear grandson, are you pretending to be humble?"

The little sweet grandson's thoughts could not escape Old Man Zhu's gaze, and he added: "If it weren't for the potatoes you brought back, those fertilizers, and even briquettes, heaters, etc., would the people of Ming Dynasty be as comfortable as they are today?"

"My grandson, this is called being arrogant without taking credit."

Zhu Xuan smiled.

"Don't take credit."

Zhu Yuanzhang warned: "When you take power in the future, no matter when or what you do, you must not be proud and complacent of your own achievements, and you must not be overjoyed with your achievements. This will not govern the country, and will only plunge the country into turmoil and harm the people."

Zhu Xuan said sincerely: "My grandson knows."

Grandpa Huang’s teachings were all for his own good.

"My dear grandson, don't look at me. I am very beautiful and have the supreme power of life and death."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with emotion: "It is really not easy to be an emperor. There are many things that even the emperor can't do anything about."

As he said this, he thought of his sister, Biao'er, and his eldest grandson.

This is where he is most powerless.

Not even my loved ones can be saved.

but……

Looking at Zhu Xuan, who looked almost exactly the same as Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang felt very happy.

The little darling grandson was definitely sent back by Biao'er's spirit from heaven to make up for our regrets and take over as a good boy from Ming Dynasty.

"Grandpa Emperor."

Zhu Xuan didn't know why Zhu Yuanzhang was a little sad.

But he must be thinking of something sad.

He took Zhu Yuanzhang's hand and said softly: "Grandpa Huang, there are still grandchildren here."

"We know."

Zhu Yuanzhang restrained his sadness, rubbed Zhu Xuan's head, and said: "We are thinking about Yunxi again." Zhu Xuan smiled and said: "Second brother is in Wudang Mountain, which is the place closest to the gods. I will definitely have a good time. If you do well, maybe you can achieve enlightenment and become an immortal, and bless the Ming Dynasty forever."

"There is no such thing as a fairy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and smiled.

They continued walking down the street.

On both sides of the street, there are festive red lanterns.

Pedestrians were coming and going, busy buying New Year's goods, meat and fine wine, preparing to have a good drink with their families tonight and review the sweet, sour, and bitter experiences of the past year.

"Jiang Yu."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the lanterns on both sides and asked curiously: "Do you remember that in the past, there were not so many big red lanterns on the roadside, under the eaves, and under the canopy of trees?"

"Grandpa Huang, this is what my grandson asked someone to do."

Zhu Xuan pointed at the lantern and added: "There are no candles inside, and there is no need to light it, but the red lanterns are scattered in every corner of Yingtian. This can add a lot of flavor to the year. Doesn't it feel much better?"

"There are also many ordinary, homeless people who long for this kind of New Year flavor."

He added.

Those homeless people are probably the beggars in the city.

No matter what age or how prosperous the age, beggars are an indispensable group.

Hearing that the red lanterns had such a meaning, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, feeling that the New Year atmosphere was much stronger and the city was more festive.

"Jiang Wei, make arrangements."

"All beggars and homeless people within Yingtian Mansion should have fun and eat something good today."

"There's not much we can do for them. We'll arrange for people to deliver food and wine inside and outside the city tonight."

“This is true joy with the people.”

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't control so many beggars.

That's all that can be done.

Zhu Xuan said: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson once made such an initiative in Guangzhou. He gathered all the beggars in the city and set up a relief center. He first relieved them, gave them food and a place to live, and then gave them They are trained in vocational skills so that they can have a way to make a living after leaving the relief shelter."

"Sounds good."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "But not everyone is willing to work to make a living. Among them, there are also some who are lazy and disobey discipline, so what?"

Zhu Xuan said: "This is a simple person who is willing to obey discipline and change himself. My grandson will try his best to help them. For those who are lazy and lazy, they will be sent to various construction sites to work as corvees, and they will be given a full meal until they become hard-working."

"What if the person who committed the crime becomes a beggar to avoid being caught?"

Jiang Wei raised this very meaningful question based on his own professional knowledge.

"Just let Jin Yiwei check it."

"In addition, people who commit crimes are generally very afraid of our government."

"As long as you have contact with them and gather them together for investigation, it will be easy to find problems."

Zhu Xuan said again.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was very feasible. In this way, many beggars could be eliminated and labor force could be provided for the Ming Dynasty. He said: "After we return, we will let the Ministry of Household Affairs build a relief center. When the time comes, Jiang Ying, you will bring people to cooperate with the people of the Ministry of Household Affairs and settle down as soon as possible." Get down to business.”

These are not only political achievements, but also meritorious deeds.

Zhu Yuanzhang had killed many people, and now he suddenly wanted to save some merit.

"The minister takes orders."

Jiang Wei said solemnly.

Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "If we don't come out, we don't know how big the changes are outside. My dear grandson will continue to walk with us."
