Daming: I was exposed by Zhu Di's Sims life!

Chapter 54 A stone of rice is not as good as three stones of bran
It is said that it does not care about the food, but the emperor finally took care of the food.

Zhu Di was not hungry, he was full.But Zhu Gaoxuan came to the palace early in the morning without eating, and he was still hungry.

The food in the palace is still as light and simple as ever, with white rice porridge, pickled cucumbers, and sesame seed cakes that are still hot just out of the oven.

Zhu Gaoxuan has always been merciless when he went to eat in the palace. He showed off six pancakes and drank two bowls of rice porridge, which made Zhu Di feel greedy.

"You kid, are you a reincarnation of a starving ghost? How can you eat so much?" Zhu Di was so angry that his teeth hurt.

He usually let the prince, king of Han and officials from the six cabinets eat in the palace, but whoever eats in front of the emperor is not cautious, drinking a bowl of rice porridge is like drinking poison, there is no one as fierce as Zhu Gaoxuan.

This kid is really rude!
"I have to pay out of my own pocket for meals in the palace, and the public will reimburse me for meals in the palace. Can it be the same..." Zhu Gaoxuan said in a low voice, "No matter how small a mosquito's legs are, it's still meat. If you can rub a little, it's a little..."

"What did you say!" Zhu Di was furious.

Damn, every time I sit and eat with this kid, I can make him so angry!

Zhu Di frowned and said: "If you have nothing to do, go to Jiming Temple and let the old monk teach you well, learn what is foresight and foresight, and take a step to see a hundred steps."

"That's too troublesome, the road is too far." Zhu Gaoxuan retorted.

Zhu Di was a little puzzled: "What's the trouble? The Jiming Temple is in Jinling City. You can walk there in two steps. What's the trouble?"

Zhu Gaoyi was stunned: "Jiming Temple is in Jinling City? Isn't it in Dongguan?"

"What a mess." Zhu Di was a little confused.

"I didn't say anything." Zhu Gaoxuan pretended to be confused.

Zhu Di glanced at him suspiciously, remembering that he hadn't said anything serious yet: "By the way, let's talk about business, Beizhen Fusi, you need to supervise him more."

Although what he said was anticlimactic, Zhu Gaoyi still understood the meaning: "The emperor wants his ministers to investigate... the flood in Shandong?"

"The method of flushing the sand with water and diverting the course of the Yellow River you mentioned is indeed good, and the method of providing relief with work is also very good, but whether the plan is good and whether it can be implemented are two different things." Zhu Di said with a little deep meaning, "relieve the disaster and save the people. , A catty of rice is not as good as three catties of bran. But I want to make a catty of rice into a catty of rice, as for how to do it, you can handle it.”

Looking at the past dynasties, there has never been a lack of people active in the court's disaster relief.

This kind of person is a corrupt official who robs the refugees of life-saving food.

They made a lot of money for the country, and the imperial court distributed [-] shi of grain, but after a lot of embezzlement, only [-] shi of grain fell into the hands of the refugees.

Originally, the food distributed by the imperial court was enough for steamed rice, but after passing through the hands of the chief envoy Si Yamen, only thick porridge remained.After the thick porridge passed through the hands of the state government, it became porridge.After the porridge was peeled off by the officials of the county yamen, only the soup made of rice husks remained.However, the officials in the disaster-stricken area wrote a letter of gratitude to the emperor, and praised the emperor as a flower. The emperor was also happy. .

The unknowing refugees secretly scolded the emperor for being stingy, but they were grateful to these corrupt officials who sent a hundred shi of grain to them.

Bran mainly refers to the discards after grain processing, including chaff, wheat husks, and stems, which are strong and resistant to cellulose components, and there may also be a small handful of the outer layer of rice and wheat endosperm that may remain .Among them, what can be digested and absorbed by humans as nutrition is the small handful of the outer layer of rice and wheat endosperm that may remain.The bran used to cook rice soup may still squeeze out a little bit of nutritional value. If it is directly heated and eaten like cooking, the possibility of death from choking, swelling and malnutrition is greater than that of surviving.

Is Bran Edible?Yes, if you are hungry to a certain extent, bran is better than Yizi, but it can only satisfy your hunger and continue your life, and cannot provide people with the nutrition to live. At most, it is used as a filling to ease the self-digestion process of the stomach.

Therefore, the courtiers who are sensible will replace the rice distributed by the court with bran when disaster relief occurs after natural disasters.Because one catty of rice can be exchanged for three catties of bran.

Three hundred shi of bran is better than a hundred shi of rice.

It is not so much a natural disaster as a man-made disaster.

If it were someone else, it might be acquiesced, but Emperor Yongle refused.

Zhu Di came here in the chaotic era at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. He knew very well why his father Zhu Yuanzhang rebelled.

In the third year of Zhizheng, there was a drought in Haozhou.In the spring of the following year, severe locust plagues and plagues occurred again.The imperial court allocated relief food, but it was divided up by corrupt officials.On the sixth day of April, Zhu Yuanzhang’s father starved to death, on the ninth day of April, Zhu Yuanzhang’s elder brother starved to death, on April [-]th, Zhu Yuanzhang’s eldest nephew died of starvation, and on April [-]nd, Zhu Yuanzhang’s mother starved to death.

There is no inner and outer coffins in the funeral, and the body is covered with evil clothes, floating three feet, what kind of meat is laid!
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What is the use of such a court?"

In the first month of the first year of Hongwu, the emperor was located in Yingtianfu, the country was named Daming, and the reign was named Hongwu.In the autumn of the same year, he captured Dadu and ended the Yuan Empire's rule in the Central Plains.After that, the southwest, northwest, Liaodong and other places were pacified, and finally the fate of great unification was completed.

……

Zhu Di has always been domineering. If the imperial court issued [-] shi of rice, then [-] shi of rice would have to be implemented.

Anyone who dares to reach out to touch the relief food provided by the court will be killed.

Corrupting a stone of food, killing you and one corrupt official!
Embezzle ten stones of grain, kill your corrupt officials and their families!
Embezzling a hundred shi of grain, killing you corrupt officials and nine clans, copying and beheading all the families!

"I understand." Zhu Gaoxuan clapped his hands in response.

……

After leaving the imperial study, Zhu Gaoxuan went to the East Palace.

On the second day after Zhang Yingzhen and Zhu Gaoxuan got married, according to the rules, they had to visit the queen first.However, Empress Xu died of illness, and Zhu Di never re-emerged, so the harem naturally had the Crown Princess as the head of the female family, so it was time to visit the Crown Princess.

The concubine's surname is Zhang. Although she has the same surname as Zhang Yingzhen, the power behind her is far inferior to that of the British government. They are just ordinary people.This is actually Zhu Di's balancing act. Among his four sons, the second, third, and fourth concubines are all daughters of wealthy families, but the crown princess is only the daughter of a commander.

One must know that even the crown prince's concubine, the Guo family, is the daughter of Ying Guogong Guo Ying, while the crown prince's concubine is only a daughter of the third rank.

……

After entering the East Palace, I saw Zhang Yingzhen and the Crown Princess sitting in a pavilion chatting and laughing.

"Sister-in-law." Zhu Gaoxuan bowed his hands.

The crown princess has a delicate face, and her gestures are gentle and elegant, and she replied: "Prince Qi is just here, your princess is really a good girl, she is kind and beautiful, and she is beautiful and beautiful. After you go back, you must be good." To people."

"That's natural." Zhu Gaoxuan smiled lightly.

"Hey, fourth child, you're really good, and you'll stay with the old man for a meal." At this moment, someone came over, and it was the prince who was being supported by the "good grandson" Zhu Zhanji, and he wiped his forehead. sweating, said, "I called the three of us over to scold us early this morning, but I was scared to death."

Then, the crown prince pointed at Zhu Gaoxuan and said with a smile to everyone: "You don't know how majestic the fourth son is in the imperial study today. He has thousands of strategies in his belly and shows off his supernatural powers. The second son and I were dumbfounded by what he said. Even the emperor They were all shocked. After so many years, the fourth child is the second person I have seen who has the ability to turn off the old man."

Among the people the prince has met, Zhu Gaoxuan is the second person capable of turning off Zhu Di's fire.

And the first one is the late Empress Renxiao Xu.

Prince, this is already quite a high evaluation.
