Daming: At the beginning, recognize Zhu Yuanzhang as grandfather!

Chapter 166 We Should Have Taken You to Take a Look!

After Zhao Mian, Minister of the Household Department, committed suicide, all officials in the Household Department were trembling like walking on thin ice.

Especially those officials who participated in it, can't eat during the day and can't sleep at night.

Everyone knows Zhu Yuanzhang's methods of dealing with corrupt officials. Take the Guo Huan case in Hongwu's 18th year as an example. Except for the six officials involved in the case, all officials in Zhilian Province were involved, and tens of thousands of people died.

Even because the tracking of dirty money involved landlords of all sizes across the country, countless people ransacked their homes and went bankrupt, and the landlords resented this deeply.

In short, if there was a mistake, I didn't let it go!
The Guo Huan case and the previous empty seal case are manifestations of Zhu Yuanzhang's heavy punishment to suppress corruption, which made Ming Dynasty officials vigilant and fearful. It's heart-shattering, like a god in front of its court, not daring to act less."

So this time the household department committed a crime, let alone the officials of the household department, even other officials were worried, afraid of implicating themselves.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask too much this time, and left it to Zhu Xiongying to handle it.

However, Zhu Xiongying did not hand over the corruption case of the household department to Jin Yiwei to handle this time. You must know that Jin Yiwei specializes in weaving officials and people for crimes, which makes people feel the terror of killing their families at any time.

Therefore, many officials in the court also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Xiongying handed over the whole case to Yang Jing, and asked Yang Jing to handle it impartially and not to implicate innocent people.

Yang Jing took orders and dealt with them fairly.

He governs the prison to clearly observe the truth and the false, instead of using the criminal law to investigate strictly.Anyone who has a slightly untrue confession must be personally interrogated and thoroughly investigated. His sentencing is fair and impartial.

This matter was also approved by the old man.

The case of the household department came to an end. In the end, Zhao Mian committed suicide in fear of crime. The household department implicated more than a dozen people and all of them were executed, but the disaster was not as good as his family...

After a round of cleaning of the household department, the position of Shangshu was also vacant, but the annual spring plowing hosted by the household department has arrived without knowing it...

……

The plan for a year is in spring, and the plan for a day is in the morning.

Early in the morning, Zhu Xiongying got up early as usual.

The days seem to be back to the same as before, moving forward in the same slow and orderly manner.

With the white belly in the east, Zhu Xiongying got up and started to exercise. He played military boxing and danced the eighth set of radio gymnastics.

After the last fainting event, Zhu Xiongying started to go to bed early and get up early, focusing on physical exercise.

The body is the most important thing, only a healthy body can have everything...

After exercising, Zhu Xiongying rested for a while, and then went to the old man for breakfast.

Eating breakfast together has become a tacit understanding between the grandfather and grandson, because they can discuss many things during the time of eating breakfast.

The old man has a good appetite every day. After eating a few meat buns and drinking a bowl of soy milk and a pot of clear tea at the end, the breakfast is completely over.

A round of red sunrise in the east shines on the earth.

The old man smacked his lips and said to Zhu Xiongying, "Go for a walk."

Zhu Xiongying thought about it, and there was not much left and right. These days, dealing with the affairs of the household department has been boring for a long time, and he also wanted to go out for a walk.

Most importantly, he wanted to see the situation of Daming Chungeng.

"to make!"

After saying that, the two changed into their regular clothes, took Jiang Yu with them, and walked out of the palace.

Facing the spring breeze in the early morning, the morning sun opened up a sunny day. The houses in Yingtiancheng were built in rows next to the water. Rows of fish-scale tile houses, gray walls and hundreds of tiles lined up, stood there quietly and peacefully.

The typical Jiangnan Huizhou architecture looks refreshing.

People's fireworks began to emit smoke with the spring breeze.

On the bluestone steps on the embankment of the Qinhuai River, women held baskets and beat their clothes hard in the water.

A scene of peace and prosperity.

But the destination of the grandfather and grandson this time is the countryside outside Yingtian City...

The jasper makeup is one tree high, and ten thousand green silk ribbons hang down.

I don't know who cut out the thin leaves, the spring breeze in February is like scissors.

In the outskirts of Yingtianfu, the ground is covered with a layer of green, and the air is full of the long-lost spring smell.

On the ridges of the countryside.

Zhu Xiongying sat on the floor with the help of the old man.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think it was dirty either, Da Lala sat on the ridge of the field, randomly picked a piece of dog's tail grass and chewed it in his mouth.

Everything is so casual.

This iron-blooded and indifferent emperor who frightened the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to the extreme, regained his kind old side in front of Zhu Xiongying.

Zhu Xiongying looked up.

There are already many spring plowing people in the farmland who have started a year of spring plowing.

Looking at it, Zhu Xiongying suddenly let out a sigh.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked casually, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Xiongying asked with some doubts: "Didn't our Daming already popularize cattle farming? Why..."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up.

In the farmland ahead, a group of people are working hard on the plow with their hands on the Quyuan plow. Looking around, there are very few families who use oxen to plow.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, and said: "You also know that it was very cold last year. Although the people had your anthracite coal, they barely survived the cold winter, but the cattle couldn't do it. Last year, I don't know how many cattle died in various places in the capital."

"The cows haven't grown up yet, and the older cows are reluctant to continue to use them. The people and the cows have feelings, and they can rest when they can let the cows rest."

Daming's farm cattle are as scarce as war horses.

If it weren't for the land that is really difficult to cultivate, ordinary people would be reluctant to use cattle, and some would have no cattle to use.

"So it is!"

Zhu Xiongying said to himself: "In this way, won't the efficiency of farming be greatly reduced, and long-term use of manpower will also make some people tired and have problems?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "Then what can I do?"

Zhu Xiongying seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "Why don't you set up farming frames at both ends of the ridge?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled and said, "What is a farming rack?"

The substitute farming frame was a great progress in the development of farming tools in the late Ming Dynasty. The wars and disputes in the late Ming Dynasty reduced the number of cattle, so the great working people came up with such labor-saving farming tools.

Zhu Xiongying thought for a while and said: "It is to set up a herringbone-shaped wooden frame at both ends of the field, and each wooden frame is equipped with a wheel, and crossed prongs are placed on both ends of the wheel. action……"

As he spoke, Zhu Xiongying took a branch and drew on the ground.

Zhu Xiongying was trying to recall that although this kind of farming equipment had epoch-making significance in farming in the late Ming Dynasty, it was still too unfamiliar to Zhu Xiongying of later generations.

He can only paint according to his own understanding.

After he finished painting, he went to see Zhu Yuanzhang again. At some point, Zhu Yuanzhang had already stared at Zhu Xiongying motionlessly, with a dazed expression on his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared blankly at the farming frame painted on the ground, and his expression gradually changed. Sometimes his brows were furrowed, sometimes he suddenly realized, and sometimes his face flushed with excitement...

He seemed to gradually understand the usefulness of Zhu Xiongying's substitute farming frame.

"You... you figured it out?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little dazed, but his eyes seemed to be eating people.

"Is there... a problem?"

Zhu Xiongying is not sure, and he doesn't know whether this kind of thing is good or bad for this era, but in terms of usage, Zhu Xiongying thinks it shouldn't be a big problem.

I don't know why the old man has such an expression.

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Xiongying, his eyes were red, and he shouted annoyedly: "We should have brought you to see Chunpeng a long time ago..."
