Daming: Let you build roads, you have access to highways throughout the country

Chapter 68 Underestimated the Seventh Prince!!!

Zhu Yuanzhang is now the Daming Emperor, the imperial dining room can’t make anything delicious, all kinds of dishes, exquisite and wonderful, regardless of color and fragrance, are first-class, however, compared with this sweet potato held in the palm, Zhu Yuanzhang feels far worse!

Zhu Yuanzhang was originally from a farmer, and after only one bite, he fell in love with the taste of this roasted sweet potato.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was a child, when he lived in a broken thatched hut to herd cattle for the landlord, his biggest wish was to eat flatbread once a day.

After being an emperor for so many years, I have eaten all kinds of mountain and sea delicacies, and every time I think about it, I still think that the flatbread I ate when I was a child is the most fragrant.

And now, he feels that the roasted sweet potato in his hand has surpassed the flatbread, he likes this kind of food full of satiety, and this sweet potato, not only has a sense of satiety, but also full of aroma, soft and sweet, is simply the most delicious under the sky!

A moment ago, Zhu Yuanzhang was still hesitant, wanting to wait for the sweet potato to confirm that it could be eaten directly, and after there was no toxin, he would try it again.

However, now that the roasted sweet potato is brought over, I can’t help it directly.

The eunuch wants to test the poison, he can’t wait!

The official who reported the investigation in Qingzhou watched Zhu Yuanzhang eat the whole roasted sweet potato bite by bite, and his hands were constantly burned, and he was stunned.

The official swallowed his saliva and continued: “Your Majesty, this year’s sweet potatoes in Qi are also a bumper harvest, and the courtier and several adults have visited the manor where His Royal Highness King Qi lives, and His Royal Highness King Qi has built a lot of huge cellars, and the grain stored in them, plus the grain sent by the imperial court, is expected to be enough for 500,000 disaster victims to survive the winter. ”

“Uh-huh! Delicious! Delicious! ”

Seeing that the roasted sweet potatoes had been eaten, Zhu Yuanzhang licked the residue on his fingers without end, and then said to the official: “Old Seventh has made great contributions this time, if he hadn’t promoted potatoes and sweet potatoes in Qi this year, at least half of the 500,000 victims would have died.” ”

“What Your Majesty said!” The official hurriedly bowed his head in response, Yu Guang glanced at another sweet potato placed on the table, and saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had already walked over and grabbed it, tore the skin, and ate it again, it seemed that he had no part of his own, and couldn’t help sighing in his heart.

I only heard Zhu Yuanzhang continue: “The Qingzhou case must continue to be investigated, and we must not slacken, but I want to see who is making trouble behind the scenes.” He actually dared to make a move on Lao Qi’s territory, and tried to separate us two grandfathers, hum, it’s really bold!! ”

The official bowed his head in fright and did not dare to breathe.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a breath, gnawed off half of the sweet potato, and continued: “Pass on our will, reward the old seven and 300,000 silver taels, and send them over immediately!” Well! This roasted sweet potato is so delicious! Let Qingzhou send more to the palace. ”

The official was stunned, and then he was ordered to retreat.

These 300,000 silver, naturally, were not rewarded to His Royal Highness King Qi because the sweet potatoes were delicious, but to add some silver taels to His Royal Highness King Qi by taking advantage of this.

First, it was used to build the Qi Royal Mansion, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang already knew that at that time he only got 200,000 Daming treasure banknotes from the household department, this Daming treasure banknote is not to mention a pile of waste paper, but the moisture is extremely large, and it is definitely not enough to build the Qi Royal Mansion.

In addition, it is used to help 500,000 victims survive the cold winter.

Although there is no food worry, it is not so easy to survive this long winter, just having food is not enough.

Where do 500,000 people live?

How to heat up?

There are also 200,000 notched winter clothes, all of which are problems.

In addition, in the bottom of Zhu Yuanzhang’s heart, he also felt a little guilty about Zhu Rong.

This child still lives in the manor, and does not even have a decent place to live.

Originally, he was kicked to Qingzhou because Zhu Rong was talking nonsense in the court and discussing national policies in vain, but now it seems that this kid does have a unique opinion, and he actually quietly built that magical asphalt road.

In this way, let him go to the Qi clan at a young age, and even failed to get married in the capital, and now it seems that the punishment is indeed heavy.

But since he has already established the clan, and Lao Qi, who is doing well in Qidi, he will not withdraw his will, and can only make up for it more on the silver two.

Soon after, Zhu Yuanzhang’s reward was delivered to Qingzhou.

After Zhu Rong thanked him, looking at the 300,000 silver taels, the whole person was confused.

My father, eldest brother, and fourth brother are all about what’s going on, desperately stuffing money into their hands.

Where did he know that there was no communication between Zhu Yuanzhang, Prince Zhu Biao, and Yan King Zhu Di, and they each sent their own, fearing that Zhu Rong would not be able to support it here, and the 500,000 disaster victims would not be able to survive the cold winter, all the way south, and attack Yingtianfu.

Jiangyin Hou Meizi counted a large stack of tickets: “Your Highness, we really don’t worry about it now!” ”

Zhu Rong nodded.

This Daming has not completely recovered his vitality, how much is the tax revenue in a year, and the result is that the cheap father, the prince, and the king of Yan add up to send money, all of which are 10,000 silver taels.

If that’s not enough, it can’t be said!

“Isn’t it a little too much?” Zhu Rong was a little embarrassed to collect all the money.

Jiangyin Hou glared at him: “Your Highness forgot the silver two of the Qi Royal Mansion, how long has the household department delayed?” ”

Then, Jiangyin Hou said with a smile: “Your Highness rest assured, this father, being a brother, giving his own son and his own brother some silver flowers, is nothing!”

Your Highness, the pillars of King Qi’s Mansion are simply replaced with golden silk nanmu! ”

Zhu Rong was too lazy to care about this, waved his hand and said, “Father-in-law looks at it.” ”

Jiang Yin Hou said with some inches: “In the future, all the furniture will also use golden silk nan wood!” ”

Zhu Rong smiled and said, “Listen to my father-in-law.” ”

“Your Highness, I found a strange stone in the mountain a few days ago, tsk, it can be called a ghostly work, and when the Qi King’s Mansion is almost covered, then let people transport it from the mountain and use it as a rockery.”

Zhu Rong rolled his eyes: “Then follow the meaning of the father-in-law.” ”

Jiangyin Hou’s endless planner: “Your Highness, let’s build another living water and introduce it to the Qi King Mansion!” When it’s okay, you can row a boat with Yan’er and catch a fish, wouldn’t it be beautiful! ”

Zhu Rong rubbed his teeth, this amount of work is a bit large, this father-in-law looks like he is floating again.

“Beautiful!”

Jiangyin Hou Meizi said: “Your Highness rest assured, this silver will not be spent in vain!” The Qi Royal Mansion built by the old minister is definitely ten times more beautiful than the Prince’s Mansion, no, a hundred times!!! ”

Zhu Rong smiled, did not speak, can it not be beautiful to smash so much silver into it?!

After another half month, it was getting colder and colder.

However, the construction of simple houses outside Qingzhou City has also been completed.

The exterior of the house is made of hollow brick and cement, which looks relatively thick.

Although it is hollow, it has the function of keeping out the cold.

Inside each house, there are two rows of chase shops, which are a little rudimentary, but there is no problem in dealing with them and letting the victims survive the winter.

At the bottom, thick reeds or wheat straw are laid.

To the left and right of each house, there is a row of large shops, and a fireplace in the middle, which can burn wood and coal.

A fire channel is built under the furnace, and the heat released by combustion can flow from the furnace to the inside of the chase shop from the furnace to the fire channel below

To put it bluntly, there are two large ondols on the left and right sides, and the middle is warmed by a fire dragon.

Although quilts and the like have not been rushed out, they can still make the room a lot warmer.

In an open field, the victims lined up in long lines to enter their assigned houses.

Seeing these beautiful houses, the victims could no longer hold back, and they bowed down in the direction of Ying Tianfu and shouted: “Long live Your Majesty!” Banzai! Hooray! ”

Then, he bowed down to Zhu Rong: “King Qi is a thousand years old!” Chitose! Chitose! ”

Zhu Rong smiled and greeted everyone flat, and then excitedly hugged his simple daily necessities and moved into a new house.

As soon as you enter the house, you can feel a warm breath, and the cold on your body is swept away.

The most eye-catching thing is the stove in the middle, with an open mouth under the warmth, and the naked eye can see that the coal inside is burning extremely vigorously!

This warm breath made the victims who fled to Qingzhou far from home cry excitedly.

For those fleeing the famine, the most difficult thing is to survive the cold winter.

And living here, no matter how cold it is outside, you are no longer afraid!

Although a house has to live a lot of people, the quality of this house can be ten times and a hundred times stronger than the thatched house in my hometown.

Everyone knows that these bricks are fired from brick kilns, and in addition to building workshops and these simple houses, there are also merchants who come to buy them, and this price is not cheap.

His Royal Highness King Qi was willing to use such good bricks and stones to build houses for the common people of his poor family and the victims who fled the famine.

Being able to live in such a house is unique in history.

Everyone moved into the house and laid out their bedding.

Sitting on this warm kang, feeling the temperature coming from the ondol, they couldn’t help but cheer and laugh.

The stove burns vigorously, not only the large kang is warm, but also the temperature of the ground is raised a lot.

When I was queuing up outside, my feet were so cold that I was cold, and not long after entering the house, my whole body was warm.

“I am blessed old man, I can live in such a good house in this life, we are all stained with the 8 lights of His Royal Highness King Qi.”

“This must be seen by outsiders, who dares to believe that we are fleeing the wilderness, and think that we are here to enjoy happiness!”

Inside the houses, laughter continued.

Watching the victims move into the new house, Zhu Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When winter comes, the temperature will get lower and lower, and many projects at hand will have to stop one after another. You need to survive the cold winter, and the next spring will have warmer weather before you can continue construction.

The textile workshop is still rushing to make winter supplies, striving to make bedding available to all victims.

This is also a big project, and many of the victims have no bedding on the way to escape.

Since the weather is relatively hot when they come, most people mainly use straw mats even if they have simple bedding.

Although he said that he had winter clothes to carry over, Zhu Rong still wanted to make these disaster victims live more comfortably.

And although Zhu Rong did not say much, all the efforts he made were looked at by the victims of the disaster, and also looked at by many officials and squires in Qingzhou City, as well as ordinary people.

The drought in the land of the Three Jins was bad luck for these victims, but it was their blessing to meet His Royal Highness King Qi.

PS: Thank you Yanzu for urging, monthly pass, and evaluation ^_^.
