Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 236 Inspection and condolences
"Da da……"

On the bustling street, the sound of horseshoes was drowned out, and Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting in the carriage, changed into satin clothes, held the stove in his hand, and looked at the scenery outside.

'The hygienic environment in the capital, especially the outer city, is really worrying. '

Emperor Chongzhen frowned, thinking secretly: "When the situation in the court is settled and the Chongwenmen tax customs are clear, we will take action to rectify it."

With so many people living here and so much mobility, if an epidemic were to break out, it would definitely be death, everyone would die!This kind of situation must not happen in the capital. '

Daming, who was in the Little Ice Age, was so unlucky that he couldn't be more unlucky. Floods, droughts, earthquakes, and locust plagues followed one after another like magic tricks, and every time these disasters occurred, they would inevitably cause sharp conflicts in the disaster area, and he died. When people reach a certain level, they will be accompanied by disease.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters, the combination of these two words perfectly interprets the bad atmosphere in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty and the serious corruption of officials.

"My lord...do you want to ask the Zhongyong Army to draw some more elites to accompany you?" Han Zanzhou looked worried, looked at the contemplative Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Only the manpower drawn from the Four Guards Battalion, and Cheng Guogong them……"

"worry about what?"

Emperor Chongzhen frowned and interrupted: "This time I left the palace in a micro-clothes, and outsiders don't even know about it. Why, you want all the ministers in the court to know that I have left the palace?"

"The slaves dare not!"

Han Zanzhou bowed hurriedly.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen understood that he could not stay in the deep palace all the time, and had to go out of the palace in micro-clothes to have a look from time to time.

In a situation like Daming's, if you can't discern the truth yourself, you can't just rely on the news from foreign officials or people around you.

Putting down the stove in his hands, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Han Zanzhou and said, "The Huangzhuang to which we are going, the widows and orphans raised there are all the relatives of Erlang who died in the battle of the Yongwei Camp, Tianxiong Army, and Zhongyong Army?"

"Yes." Han Zanzhou hurriedly replied.

In the previous battle with the Jianlu who invaded the Ming Dynasty, the various armies of the Ming Dynasty killed many soldiers, especially the Yongwei Battalion, Tianxiong Army, and Zhongyong Army.

In this troubled world, the pillars of the family collapsed. Emperor Chongzhen knew better than anyone the situation of these widows and orphans.

Even though Da Ming died every day, what he, the son of Da Ming, could do was to take care of the family members who died for the country first.

He wants to use the method of raising widows and orphans, so that the surviving soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion, Zhongyong Army, and Tianxiong Army can clearly feel that even if one day they really die in battle, the Emperor Ming they are loyal to will never Forget theirs.

"How are the Zhonglie Monument and the Zhonglie Temple being built now?"

Emperor Chongzhen then asked: "The inner court must pay more attention to it. If it is only supervised by the Ministry of Industry and the virtues of those civil servants, they will definitely not do their jobs with all their heart."

"Don't worry, the emperor, the supervisor of ceremonies will send people to watch every day."

Han Zanzhou bowed his head and said, "At present, the foundations of the Zhonglie Monument and the Zhonglie Temple have been properly dug. In half a year at the latest, the Zhonglie Monument and the Zhonglie Temple can be built."

The efficiency of traditional construction technology is really slow enough. It seems that after Wang Chengen's side, the first batch of workshops to be planned are all completed, they must try to implement the matter of cement development as soon as possible.

What are the raw materials of this cement?

Emperor Chongzhen fell into contemplation. In fact, considering the current situation in Ming Dynasty, the only way to save it is to actively increase productivity, actively expand trade with foreign countries, actively increase the source of grain and vegetable baskets, and actively...

In short, there are many things to be positive.

Not enough manpower!

The more Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, he felt emotional in his heart. Since he became the Son of Heaven, he understood the meaning of being too cold at a high place.

There are many things that he wants to do, and he wants to change the fate of Ming Dynasty, but people are against each other. In this court, in this place, there are too many people with their own small thoughts.

"Your Majesty, the Huangzhuang near the Lugou Bridge has arrived." Zhu Chunchen, who was outside the carriage, saluted the carriage respectfully after getting off his horse.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting in the carriage, stepped out of the carriage under the service of Han Zanzhou, and looked at the Huangzhuang not far away, feeling a little heavy.

"Come on, go in and have a look."

After getting off the carriage, Emperor Chongzhen tightened his cloak and walked forward slowly. He wanted to see the widows and orphans raised in this imperial estate.

In fact, under the supervision of the Military Aircraft Department, many widows and orphans were raised in the Gyeonggi area. However, Emperor Chongzhen, who was busy with government affairs and dealing with the court situation, could not visit every Huangzhuang.

"In the past few days, you, the supervisor of ceremonies, organize here, and prepare enough rice, flour, oil, and cotton cloth." Emperor Chongzhen, who was walking forward slowly, said to Han Zanzhou who was driving: "You eunuchs of the twelve eunuchs of the inner court , Go to every Huangzhuang where widows and orphans are raised, and condolences to them.

From now on, every three months, I will go to organize condolences. All the necessary things will be provided by the big insider factory, and these words will be passed on to the supervisor of ceremonies. "

"Slave order!"

Han Zanzhou hurriedly bowed in response.

Although he didn't quite understand why his royal lord would do this, but since the order was issued, he had no choice but to obey it unconditionally.

On the contrary, Zhu Chunchen, who was accompanying him, realized something in his heart. The method of the emperor was really clever. He not only won over the helpless orphans and widows, accepted their loyalty, but also called the Yongweiying, Tianxiong Army, and Zhongyong Army These powerful troops all know what the emperor has done.

"Stand up straight, if you learn to be lazy now, how can you be loyal to the emperor and Daming in the future? Your parents are all good, don't you want to embarrass them?"

"In no mood!"

"Don't everyone have enough to eat? I can't hear you. Remember, men, no matter when they are, can't be like girls."

"In no mood!!"

When they walked to the front of this Huangzhuang, the shouts and roars coming from the village, calling for Emperor Chongzhen and his party, could be heard clearly, and everything was moving in a good direction.

"Slave Li Daquan, pay homage to the emperor!"

Hearing the news and learning that Emperor Chongzhen had come to the Huangzhuang that he was in charge of, Li Daquan ran out in a hurry, cupping his hands and bowing emotionally.

"Get up."

Looking at the young Li Daquan, Emperor Chongzhen knew that this was one of the eunuchs selected by Wang Chengen to be the eunuch in charge of the village. None of the newly appointed eunuchs in charge of the village dared to think otherwise.
