Daming: Start with an Altar of Luck

Chapter 24 The New Prefect of Yangzhou (for collection)
"Old man, speak slowly, what's going on." After scolding Zhu Xi, Lao Zhu asked the old man to continue talking.

And Zhu Yuanzhang, who came out of the troubled times, didn't know what was going on, why did he let people continue to talk about it, firstly, to teach Zhu Biao and his brothers Zhu Yu and Zhu Yu a lesson, and also to beat and beat the accompanying ministers .

In particular, among them was Lu Chang, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. When Lao Zhu stepped into the government office, an idea of ​​restoring the prosperity of Yangzhou took root in his heart.

Lu Chang taught Lao Zhu, who came from the bottom, a good lesson on how to be greedy. Lao Zhu wanted the household minister to listen carefully to the tragedies in the world. Lu Chang.

"At the beginning of the year, my parents' grandson died of starvation, and my little girl was about to die. I exchanged my eldest grandson for someone else's dead child. He ate my child, and I ate his child." At this point, the old man burst into tears and could no longer continue. up.

Zhu Biao looked around at the following ministers, and found that some of the ministers voted by Qian Yuan didn't even have any fluctuations, and the biggest thing was to put on a sad look on their faces.

Why did Zhu Biao say this? You can’t pretend to be uncomfortable and heavy-hearted. The more you try to pretend, the more it will be counterproductive. The most moved by the accompanying ministers is Liu Bowen next to Lao Zhu.

Zhu Biao saw nothing strange on Liu Bowen's face, but closed his eyes, but Liu Bowen betrayed his heavy heart with one hand behind him.

And the little girl standing next to the old man was still staring at the clear eyes, maybe she was too young, or maybe she didn't understand, just watching her grandpa cry, she was also sobbing slowly.

Zhu Biao glanced at Lao Zhu, but found that there seemed to be some crystals in Lao Zhu's eyes at this time, but when Zhu Biao wanted to take a good look, he couldn't see the crystals anymore.

After listening to the old man's narration, after Lao Zhu arranged for the two tigers to settle the people, he called Liu Bowen and Zhu Biao, and the three began to walk around the broken walls of Yangzhou City.

"Where is Bowen? We've been talking about the scourge of arrogant soldiers for two days. Now it seems that the poverty of the country and the suffering of the common people are the first to bear the brunt!" Old Zhu also couldn't imagine that the north was so scourgeed by the Yuan court.

"My Majesty, the priority of governing the country is to put the people at ease, and the court should immediately implement light corvee and thin taxes to support the people." Liu Bowen admitted that this is indeed the time to deal with the arrogant soldiers, and the restoration of the people's livelihood is the first priority. .

"Well, that's the end of the northern tour. We won't go any further. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we will immediately set off to return to Beijing. We will gather all ministries to discuss ways to restore the power of the people. The imperial court must immediately come up with a feasible plan." Lao Zhu's opening directly terminated the Northern Tour.

Zhu Biao also heaved a sigh of relief, Yangzhou is the closest prefecture to Yingtian, and the scene is like this, if you go further north, the scene will be even more terrifying.

Moreover, the flintlock guns and cement produced by Banzhu arranged by Zhu Biao are still waiting for Yingtian to go back and arrange them. Fortunately, the old Zhu Beixun did not go wrong and did not continue walking, but at the first stop in Yangzhou After that, he ordered to return to Yingtian.

"Yes." Liu Bowen quickly accepted the order, and when he returned, Liu Bowen had to arrange the departure. At the same time, he needed to write a note to Li Shanchang, who was in charge of the imperial court, explaining the termination of the northern tour and making preparations for the holy car.

"By the way, to restore people's power, start from Yangzhou. Bowen, you draw up a candidate, and let him be the magistrate of Yangzhou immediately." Lao Zhu continued to order Liu Bowen.

"I obey the order." Liu Bowen quickly saluted.

"Well, let's go, as soon as possible." Lao Zhu directly asked Liu Bowen to go back and draw up candidates.

"Biao'er, come with us for a walk and take a look at the devastated Daming country." Old Zhu's tone showed a little sadness, but before Liu Bowen was there, as the emperor of Daming, it was impossible for Lao Zhu to express his emotions so directly. Bai expressed it, but now only Zhu Biao was there, so Lao Zhu simply stopped pretending.

Zhu Biao supported Lao Zhu, the father and son walked slowly, and Lao Zhu also slowly taught Zhu Biao how to govern the government.

Until the father and son made a big circle and returned to the Yangzhou government office again, Lao Zhu patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder and said solemnly: "Biaoer, we believe that you and my father and son will definitely develop Daming even stronger and serve Daming well." The people of the Ming Dynasty opened up the territory, so that everyone in the Ming Dynasty can eat white buns and a bite of meat."

"Father and sons believe that under the rule of father, Daming will definitely get better and better, and there will never be another human tragedy like having a different son eat each other." Zhu Biao has [-]% confidence in Lao Zhu.

Throughout the 5000 years of China, is there any dynasty whose status as the founding emperor is lower than that of Lao Zhu?It's just a beggar who was once poor and white, and he played a brilliant Ming Dynasty.

While Zhu Biao and Lao Zhu were strolling around the broken walls of Yangzhou City, Liu Bowen had already returned to the dilapidated mansion and called Yang Xian over.

"Yang Xian, what grade are you now?" Liu Bowen stood at the place where Lao Zhu was sitting and giving lectures with his hands behind his back and asked Yang Xian who had just rushed over.

"Teacher, the student has not been in the Hanlin for a long time, but now he is from the seventh grade." Yang Xian replied respectfully, when Liu Bowen was his teacher, Yang Xian treated Liu Bowen with respect.

"Well, I'm going to ask for an order to confer on you the fifth rank and be promoted to the magistrate, what do you think?" Liu Bowen didn't look at Yang Xian, he talked to himself, and finally asked Yang Xian for his opinion.

And Yang Xian, who heard his teacher said that he was going to ask for a decree to be awarded the fifth grade, suddenly flushed and asked excitedly: "Dare to ask the teacher, where is the student?" His tone was full of excitement and longing.

Hearing Yang Xian's excited voice, Liu Bowen slowly turned around, stretched out his hand and pointed to his feet, "It's your feet, Yangzhou Mansion!"

"Ah!" Yang Xian looked at his feet blankly, then raised his head to look at the dilapidated mansions around him, with mixed emotions in his heart. If he accepted what the teacher said, he would immediately become a fifth-rank official. Fu Yang Xian would definitely accept it happily.

But now, with bones exposed in the wild, no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and even the Yangzhou city government office is in tatters, Yang Xian really couldn't be happier.

"Men, are you here?" Yang Xian's tone was full of bitterness.

"Yang Xian, don't look at the ruins everywhere in Yangzhou, but it will change soon." Liu Bowen looked at his proud disciple, and could only say patiently.

"Men, why is this?" Yang Xian asked puzzled.

"Because the imperial court is about to change to a new policy to restore people's livelihood and expand national strength, how beautiful and prosperous Yangzhou was in the past, no one in the world does not know the name of Yangzhou."

"I'm sure, from now on, the emperor will always miss this place in his heart, and the imperial court will definitely provide a lot of financial support to make Yangzhou prosperous again in the shortest and fastest time! Let Yangzhou be an example for all the governments in the world."

"Yang Xian, don't think that Yangzhou is a pile of broken copper and rotten iron. It is a dragon gate. It depends on whether you are a talented official and whether you can really cross this dragon gate." Seeing Yang Xian's doubts, Liu Bowen could only tell patiently Inside story.

As the army of the Northern Expedition continued to attack cities and lands, and the north was recovered one by one, the next focus of Ming Dynasty must be to restore the population, people's livelihood and so on in the north.

"Teacher, the student understands. The student does not want the fifth-rank title. The student requests that Yangzhou be governed by the seventh-rank Hanlin!" Yang Xian made his own decision in his heart after hearing his mentor explain the strength to him.

"Good, good, good, Yang Xian's ambition is commendable!" Liu Bowen looked at his students happily, and he understood that as long as Yang Xian governed Yangzhou well, he would surely make great progress in the imperial court in the future. When returning to Beijing after success, the lowest level is the third rank.
