little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 80 Benevolence and Righteousness
At the entrance of the village, there is a thin wooden signboard with Renyizhuang written crookedly. This village signboard is quite insincere, and it looks like it will fall down when the wind blows. After reading the contents, everyone feels that this village is named after it. Sure enough, it is very benevolent... There is not a single house, but sheds of various sizes, and some people don't even have sheds, and there are many people lying in the open air.

The so-called refugees, that is, refugees, there are many reasons for this phenomenon, such as natural disasters, plagues, and more man-made disasters!The stench of excrement and urine, the stench of rot, the rats that appear at any time, the flies in patches, the black water flowing everywhere, the prison I lived in is not much different from this place, the only difference is in the darkness of oblivion , one exposed to sunlight.

For the current Daming capital, places like this Renyizhuang have long been common. Every year, hundreds of refugees flock to the capital. The old and the weak can only beg for food, and when the age is good, they can barely get enough food and clothing; !
At present, the phenomenon of refugees in Ming Dynasty is not serious, and the imperial court allocates some money to resettle them every year, and the conflict of interests is not so sharp, but Zhu Changluo knows that in a few decades, there will be someone who sings "Eat his mother, Drink his mother, open the gate to welcome King Chuang, and the king will not pay the food when he comes" The ballad led these refugees to completely overthrow the entire Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Changluo and Ye He have to thank a person for being here, and this person is still a child.

Not long after leaving Liubiju, Zhu Changluo and Ye He took Xiao Fuzi to return to the palace. Before they had gone far, Ye He turned around suddenly, and a small figure in his sight flashed to hide behind a small stall in a panic. .Not to mention Ye He, even Zhu Changluo and Xiao Fuzi had already discovered it, followed by the kid who stole the steamed buns.

Xiao Fuzi stepped forward a few steps, and lifted the child squatting there by the ear from behind the small stall, "Say, what else is there?" Yes, what else do you want to do with our Highness?
The child ignored him, and stared at Zhu Changluo with a pair of big eyes, still that kind of strong and fragile eyes, "What do you need my help for?"

The child nodded, but still didn't speak.

Zhu Changluo felt quite helpless, and suddenly the child rushed up barefoot, dragged Zhu Changluo's skirt and left.How much strength a child can have, but this action really scared everyone. Little Fuzi's face changed color, he stepped forward a few steps, and kicked, "Are you going to die? Don't let go!"

"Stop!" Zhu Changluo stopped the little Fuzi, and lowered his head. At this moment, the child's dark face, skinny due to hunger, only had a pair of big eyeballs left, which was different from the stubborn and fierce eyes before. Tears welled up in his eyes, but the clothes he was pulling tightly in his hands became tighter and tighter, and it seemed that he would not give up until he was ready to achieve his goal.

"Ye He, why don't we go and have a look with him?"

"Your Highness, we can't wait any longer. If the gate of the palace is closed after the delay, it will be a serious matter." Before Ye He could speak, Xiao Fuzi leaned forward.

He looked up at the sky, and sure enough, since he came out from the Ministry of Rites, the sun has set more than half of the way down in the sky.As soon as Fan was approaching, Zhu Changluo didn't want to cause any more trouble, turned his head to look at the child, and grinned, "My name is Zhu Changluo..."

Seeing the panicked face of the child, Zhu Changluo felt for the first time that he had failed to smile. Could it be that he was not smiling so kindly?So he grinned again, "If you want to ask me for help, you must let me know your name, right?"

"Hey, are you bold or timid..." Seeing the child dodge back as if frightened, Zhu Changluo turned to look at Ye He, and asked helplessly, "Big Ye, what do you think?" What should I do?"

Ever since Ah Man appeared in Ye He's life, he had absolutely no interest in any children under the age of ten. This point of view strengthened his judgment after meeting Zhu Xiaojiu, so for Zhu Changluo's request for help, Ye He He chose to ignore it.

"Okay, you want to talk or not, just stand." Zhu Changluo's patience finally disappeared, and he turned to leave.

"My name is Juniper." A childish voice behind him sounded a little timid.

What happened afterwards was much simpler. When Juniper dragged him to his home, Zhu Changluo was stunned, and Ye He was also stunned. What kind of place is this...

A few bricks were used to prop up a thin wooden board and there was a man lying on it. It was false to say that he was as thin as wood, but it was actually a skin covering a skeleton. This was Juniper's father.Jun Jun was in a good mood, and took out the shapeless steamed buns in his arms for his father to eat. Du Datong took them and took a few bites. Suddenly, big cloudy tears flowed from his eyes. In the middle of the water, Du Datong finally opened his mouth weakly.

"Don't be afraid of the jokes of the two young masters. We are from Yulin, Shaanxi. In the 14th year of Wanli, there was a three-year drought in my land. I was so hungry that all the villagers ran away. I took Song'er all the way here. In the first two years in the capital, I was barely able to live. These years, I have settled down to the root of the disease, and my body is getting worse. It's a pity that Song'er is wandering outside every day. Every time I look at the scars on the child's body, I feel... "

Du Datong babbled a lot, and didn't stop talking until Juniper came back from fetching water.After serving his father, Juniper turned his head to stare at Zhu Changluo, knelt down respectfully, and said a resolute, unquestionable and non-negotiable sentence.

"I want to go with you!"

Juniper's dark face was flushed for a while, and there seemed to be water in his eyes, but he still gritted his teeth fiercely, and said the same words, "I want to go with you!"

The phrase "I want to go with you" really followed Zhu Changluo for a lifetime, until many years later on the Liaodong battlefield, this black and thin child became a man who bravely killed the enemy with a big knife, so he was nicknamed "" Grand Master Du".The person is still the same person, but the ending is completely different. The fake grand master in the previous life has really become the grand master in this life.

Unable to refuse, Zhu Changluo nodded and agreed, and Ye He kicked the black guy without saying anything else, "You are not allowed to steal other people's steamed buns in the future, do you know if you want to be successful?"

"If you don't steal, you'll be hungry. At worst, I'll just let him beat you." From now on, Du Mantou's nickname has followed Juniper for half his life, until he changed it to Du Taishi.

After solving Du Mantou's matter, Zhu Changluo didn't want to stay here any longer, but just when he was about to go back to the palace, he realized that he couldn't leave... At some point, a group of people surrounded the tent of Juniper's house. Quail clothes with knotted clothes, pale and thin face, when Zhu Changluo came out, someone took the lead, and knelt down in a big way!

There were men, women and children, Zhu Changluo was dumbfounded... Is this going to be like that?
"My lord, I beg you to show kindness. All of us came here as refugees. You have seen that there is no land, no shelter, no food to eat. With this breath every day, one day is counted as a day to live. Our group Forget about the old ones, but these children are young, so you can accept all the good deeds and good deeds, and just give them a bite to eat!"

"We are not selling babies, we don't want money, please show kindness."

"If you can accept Du boy, take all my children away, please."

I don't know who started it, there was a low cry first, then a burst of crying, and finally all howled in unison.

Zhu Changluo turned his head to look at Juniper, and the brat looked impressive, blushing and muttering, "Don't blame me, Uncle Li usually takes good care of me, and I dare not lie if he asks me."

Zhu Changluo sighed, his eyes flicked over the faces of everyone kneeling on the ground, looking at their ragged clothes, their sallow and emaciated faces, and something called hope shining in their eyes.These people are the most humble refugees in the eyes of others, but who is willing to leave their homeland and come to this capital city with no tiles on the head and no cones on the ground, living a precarious life and being looked down upon by others, and what they ask for is just a meal Just full.

But the current imperial court can't even do this, Zhu Changluo is a little angry for no reason!
A bold idea took shape in Zhu Changluo's mind, so that he was in a daze at this moment.

Stepping forward to help the leading man, he said bluntly, "Uncle Li, how many refugees like you are there in Renyi Village?"

"Returning to the son, the old and the young add up, at least there are more than 5000."

Fortunately, it’s not too much, Zhu Changluo pondered for a while, "Get up, I have two paths for you to choose! The first path, would you like to go to Shandong with me? After arriving in Shandong, there will be land, clothes, and If you want to eat, you can also settle down there. The second way, I will send someone to send some money later, although it is not much, but it is enough for emergency.”

Ye He was taken aback, and quickly gave him a hand, "Zhu Xiaojiu, you are crazy, this...why did you bring so many people to Shandong?"

Boss Li couldn't believe his ears, his lips trembled, and he couldn't speak, "Master, is everything you said true..."

Juniper shouted, "Of course it's true, the young master is a good man, he won't lie to us!"

Everyone heard this sentence, and in an instant, there was a burst of shouts, shouts, cries, and surprises.Ye He's face darkened: Come on!I didn't say anything, and now I couldn't change my words even if I wanted to, but then I was infected by the ecstasy of everyone, and suddenly felt that Zhu Xiaojiu's actions were a little impulsive, but... quite benevolent.

The noise was too loud, until Boss Li yelled again and again, everyone quieted down from whispering, there is no need to choose, a fool would choose the second one!

In the Ming Dynasty, when agriculture was more important than commerce, it was the dream of many people to be able to farm. It's just... the young man in front of him looks unusual in his clothes, but does he really have this ability?
Whether or not he has this ability was quickly confirmed. There was so much movement in Renyizhuang, and the local security guards had already been alarmed.

At the feet of the emperor, it is a small matter if something happens to lose his official position, but it is a big matter to keep his head.It didn't work for a while, Zhang Wenda, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, came with a thousand soldiers, but after seeing Zhu Changluo, the aggressive Zhang Wenda was scared instantly, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and immediately got off the horse slip out.

"Your Highness? Prince Rui? You... why are you here?!"

Needless to say anything, refugees and officers and soldiers fell to their knees like rolling gourds.

Not far away, the green-robed scholar who had witnessed all this from beginning to end nodded frequently, thinking that he had traveled all over the world since the sixth year of Wanli, and what he saw and heard was the most shocking. Gathering, the waves are like anger, the mountains and rivers are outside and inside Tongguan Road. Looking at the western capital, I hesitate. Sadly, where the Qin and Han Dynasties traveled, thousands of palaces and palaces have been turned into soil. Prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer."
