The spy's eyes were dull, his face was withered and yellow, and a layer of dead skin had formed on his lips. He looked as if he hadn't eaten for a few days.
"Oh, come here, get him something to eat."
Zhu Youjian ordered.
Xiao Tongzi hurried to the imperial dining room.
"Your Majesty, the villain is not hungry. Before entering Shuntian, the villain had already gnawed the bark of a tree."
"I only pity my fellow villagers in Henan, they don't even have to chew the bark."
"There has been no rain in Henan for three years. The soil on the ground turns into sand when you grab it with your hands, and all the crops die."
"In the past year or so, the common people have eaten up all the food they can eat. There are no wild vegetables within a hundred miles, and no bark for a thousand miles of trees."
"Including chaff, cotton, wood, even firewood, they ate it all."
"When I swallow, my throat feels like a needle stick, and my stomach feels like a knife is twisted after eating. I can't pull out the stool at all, so I can only take it out with a stick."
"Those who couldn't get it out all died of flatulence. Please send food to help the disaster quickly, Your Majesty."
The spy knocked his head to the ground.
Zhu Youjian trembled all over. This was the first time he heard such a tragedy since he entered politics.
"You're talking nonsense. The Minister of the Ministry of Finance said that the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful. People live and work in peace and contentment. They don't close their doors at night and don't pick up lost things on the road. How could it be so miserable?"

Zhu Youjian asked back.
"Your Majesty, if the officials of the six ministries report good news but not bad news, how can we know the suffering of our people! If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can go to Henan to see it yourself."
"If the villain's report is false, I am willing to apologize with death."
said the detective.
At this moment, another spy ran in.
"Your Majesty, there is a severe drought in Henan, and we can't delay any longer. Your Majesty, please send food to relieve the disaster."
Then, another spies after another.
They are spies sent by various prefectures in Henan, and there are also Jin Yiwei.
Zhu Youjian has a pair of calibers, and what they say is exactly the same.
This made Zhu Youjian's face darken.
"Hey! There was a severe drought in Henan. I heard about it two years ago. Didn't we allocate 100 million taels of money to relieve the disaster?"
Zhu Youjian asked back.
"Your Majesty doesn't know. When the silver came out of the household department, the household secretary and the servant each had to eat some, and they ate a total of 80 taels."
"The remaining 20 taels were sent to the localities, and the governor ate half of it. In the end, it was eaten by all the prefectures, counties and towns. All the officials ate it level by level, and there was nothing in the hands of the people."
said a spy.
At this time, a Jin Yiwei made a supplement.
"During disaster relief, not only did the common people not get money, but some county magistrates took the opportunity to collect money."
Jin Yiwei said.
"What? They have eaten up all the money, and they still want to collect money? Whose money will they collect?"
Zhu You inspected.
"Of course it is to collect money from the common people."
Jin Yiwei said.
"Aren't the people starving to death? What money can I collect?"
Zhu Youjian asked again.
"It's like this. Aren't there middle-aged men among the common people? The county magistrate took the opportunity to sell them to Liaodong to dig gold mines, and they were actually slaves."
"As for women, they will be sold to brothels, where they can make money from the bustards, and the worst cases will even be sold to Nanyang or Dongyang."
"The fate of these women is even worse, and most of them have become tools to vent, miserable!!!"
Jin Yiwei said truthfully.
It is said that Jin Yiwei is not a human being, but compared with those corrupt officials, they are insignificant.
Zhu Youjian took a step back and slumped down on his dragon chair.
"It's too dark!!!"
"Come on, put the Secretary of the Household Department and all the officials in jail, and then send someone to ransack the house. All the proceeds from the house raid will be sent to Henan for disaster relief. I, I will send it."
Zhu Youjian suddenly discovered that he had no one available to him.
Who knows if the people he sent will continue to embezzle?
After all, in the Ming Dynasty, the tradition of corruption has lasted for 200 years, unless he personally escorted him.
"Your Majesty, if Your Majesty believes in the villain, the villain is willing to personally escort him, and promise not to let the state capitals take advantage of it."
said the first spy.
"What's your name?"
Zhu Youjian asked.
"The villain's name is Chen Yu."
Chen Yu said.
"Chen Yu? Come here, bring my Shangfang sword."
As soon as Zhu Youjian stretched out his hand, an eunuch had already presented Shangfang's sword.
"Chen Yu, take Teng's Shangfang sword, and I will send you a hundred Jinyi guards to escort the silver cart. If the state capitals want to exploit you, I will allow you to cut it first and then play it."
Zhu Youjian said.
"Of order, long live long live."
Chen Yu took Shang Fang's sword excitedly.
"By the way, Chen Yu, the matter of ransacking the house is up to you!"
"Deputy Commander of Jin Yiwei, Zhu Ye, come here, take your people to the household department to search the house, don't let anyone go, especially the family members of the household department officials, all act as coachmen, responsible for pushing the silver cart and grain cart to Henan .”
Zhu Youjian said.
"According to the order."
Zhu Ye came over and stood behind Chen Yu.
"Okay, let's go quickly, don't waste time, the speed must be fast."
Zhu Youjian said.
As a result, a group of spies from Henan all withdrew from the palace.
Since Li Zicheng broke through the palace, many palace walls have been broken.
At the same time, the order in the palace was also in chaos.
But this is also a good thing, Zhu Youjian finally realized the hardships of the people.
When there is order in normal times, these spies can only see people from the household department at most, and it is impossible for them to meet them in person.
Because the emperor's security work is also very important, dubious people cannot meet in person, otherwise they may be assassins.
After dealing with the affairs in Henan, Zhu Youjian was still a little worried. He made up his mind, first repelled the Qing army, and then went to Henan to personally supervise the disaster relief.
At that time, a large number of corrupt officials can be killed, and then their homes can be ransacked, and all the secret silver can be used for disaster relief.
Not only in Henan, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a four-year drought in the whole country. Only the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau blocked the heat wave in the Sichuan area, which ensured the harvest.
However, there are too few plains in Sichuan, and it is doomed to be self-sufficient in food and unable to help other provinces.
If the disaster relief work is not done well, there will be a lot of Li Zicheng in the future.
So, Zhu Youjian opened the group chat interface again.
"Mr. Ye Chen, I have something to ask for advice."
Zhu Youjian typed.
"What's the matter, tell me."
Ye Chen is also suffering from a headache now. He has been with his female neighbor for almost nine months, and in three months, his time deposit will be withdrawn.
Therefore, he had to find a reasonable reason to kick this woman out.
"Mr. Ye Chen, the Qing army is going south with millions of troops to attack Shuntian. How should the script proceed? It must be reasonable and refreshing."
Zhu Youjian said.
"and then?"
Ye Chen asked again.
"Then, how should the crew defeat Huang Taiji? He's even more powerful than Duolan."
Zhu Youjian asked.
"Didn't I say that? Sending Hong Chengchou and Zhu Dadian, oh no, and Wang Lei to meet the Qing army, it is best to let them both lose."
Ye Chen typed.
"However, Emperor Da Ming doesn't trust Hong Chengchou and Wang Lei very much. He is afraid that they have already secretly communicated with the Qing army. What should he do then?"
"It is written in the script that according to Jin Yiwei's report, Hong Chengchou's recent behavior is a bit abnormal, and he doesn't train hard, and occasionally meets some mysterious guests."
"As for Wang Lei, he is also brainwashing the soldiers, saying what to do when Ming is in danger."
"But he often mentioned the time when Daming was in crisis. It's not clear that he was telling the soldiers, Is Daming almost over? This was a foreshadowing by the screenwriter, but now the writing has collapsed, and I don't know how to get it back."
