Chapter 278 The most simple wish

“In the past two or three years, every family in the village has more and more things. Last year, the little old man joined forces with other families to buy two cows and farm the land. It’s become more relaxed.

You don’t have to be cold in the winter, and you have enough food and clothing. How dare you think about this before?”

The old man couldn’t help but sigh again, as if he had thought of it. What a sad thing, my eyes are a little red.

He wiped it quickly and said sheepishly: "The noble man is laughing at me. The little old man is thinking of his parents. The little old man's parents both died of hunger and cold.

It would be great if they could live under the rule of Emperor Shengwu. "

The eyes of Hua Zhenzhen and Yang Yaoqin looking at Zhu Houzhao became more and more gentle.

Zhu Houzhao's expression became serious and he said: "It's Daming, I'm sorry, old man, your parents. them. "

The old man shook his head, without saying much, and continued: "Come back, come back.

Eat well and clothed, and every family has surplus food and money.

Also, no one will bully us anymore.

Those officials are very easy to talk to now.

We are not afraid that they dare to bully us. At worst, we will sue the officials and Jinyiwei.

The landlords, squires, and gangsters who oppressed us in the past are all gone.

Hey, last year and this year, some prisoners came to our village to build roads for free. The old man even saw among them some landlords and gangsters who had bullied us before. ”

He smiled happily and continued: "The other thing is about the children studying. Although I don't know why the girls have to study?

But since Emperor Shengwu has stipulated this, then It must be right.

By the way, there is a martial arts teacher in the school this year, saying that he will teach the children to practice martial arts. He is said to be the Holy Martial Emperor. Created by myself

Not to mention, after practicing, the dolls have a bigger appetite..."

The old man said whatever he thought of, and his expression was always happy, with a hint of gratitude in it.

Zhu Houzhao listened patiently and carefully. At the end, when he saw that the old man had almost finished speaking, he thought for a while and said: "Old man, do you think there is anything wrong with it?

Or maybe , What advice do you want to give to Emperor Shengwu?

Just say it."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it," the old man shook his head and said with satisfaction.

Then, with a serious look, he said: "As for giving advice to Emperor Shengwu, the little old man really has something to say to Emperor Shengwu."

"Say it." Zhu Houzhao listened curiously and carefully. With.

“The little old man now hopes that Emperor Shengwu can take good care of his health and live longer, to live a hundred years.

In this way, our lives will be better Only if we get better and better will no one dare to bully us.

The little old man has lived for more than sixty years, and he knows it all too well.

It is precisely because of the presence of Emperor Shengwu that we can live a good life today.

If one day he is no longer here..."

The old man's voice dropped, as if he had reacted, and he said quickly: "Look at my mouth, how can I say that Emperor Shengwu is not here? words? "

"It's okay, Emperor Shengwu is the most tolerant and generous, and he won't mind. "Zhu Houzhao waved his hand.

"That's good. The old man then smiled and said solemnly: "Anyway, my lord, you must tell Emperor Shengwu that he must take good care of himself and live a long life." ”

Hua Zhenzhen, Yang Yaoqin, and Wei Jinzhong were all moved.

Because they heard the simplest sincerity, hope, and even desire.

"Don't worry, old man." Zhu Houzhao patted his chest and assured: "Emperor Shengwu is so powerful, how can he not only live to be a hundred years old?

He will definitely live longer, all of Ming Dynasty The people's lives will get better and better."

"That's good, that's good. This is like a dream, we can't let it go," the old man said happily.

Without staying any longer, Zhu Houzhao refused when faced with the old man's request to stay overnight.

In the dark night, Zhu Houzhao took his two daughters and Wei Jinzhong around the village again. After sensing various situations, which were no different from what the old man said, he called the white dragon and rode away. go.

"Zhenzhen, Yaoqin, if you are sleepy, just sleep on me.

We will not stop and keep watching like this." Zhu Houzhao said softly.

Hua Zhenzhen and Yang Yaoqin responded, one behind the other, leaning against Zhu Houzhao tenderly.

There is still no peace in my heart.

The old man’s simple words shocked them from the bottom of their hearts.

They even felt that their husbands seemed to be shining.

In the dark night, the cold wind howled, but this naturally did not faze Zhu Houzhao and the others.

The Ming Shen's true energy surged like a vast ocean, and not a ray of cold wind could blow within a few feet of him.

Hua Zhenzhen only felt extremely warm.

You can't feel any bumps, that's Bailong's ability.

It didn’t take long for Zhu Houzhao to find a village.

At this time, everyone in this village has taken a rest, and only a few houses still have their lights on.

Zhu Houzhao did not disturb the villagers. He rode a white dragon and walked around the village quietly. He could see and hear many things.

After a while, he nodded with satisfaction and continued to the next village.

In this way, under the winter night, Zhu Houzhao entered one village after another, taking the trouble to see and listen.

One night passed, and he had visited a dozen villages. Overall, he was satisfied.

At dawn, he entered the city, and under his will, the people around him ignored them.

The situation in the city is different from that in the village. Most of the people in the village just want to have enough food and clothing, and they don't know much about it.

The situation in the city was much more complicated, mixed with officials, forces from all walks of life, etc. Zhu Houzhao looked around, listened, and then asked people to ask.

More than two hours later, he nodded with satisfaction.

The officials are fulfilling their duties, the people are living a good life, and there is no major oppression.

Leave this city and go to the next one.

Relying on his speed and his tireless self and Bailong, Zhu Houzhao was like a thunderbolt, running through the villages and towns in Jin.

People from all walks of life and all ages were personally questioned by him.

Sometimes, he would go directly to the government office to see and listen to some things.

For the most part, he gets good results, but there are always some things and people that he hates.

After thinking about this situation, he did not take action directly when he was sure that no one would be harmed.

Instead, let ordinary people report it normally and see how the officials and guards respond.

During this period, he did not waste time waiting to see the results. Instead, no one disturbed him. He just wrote it down secretly and went to the next place to check.

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, it had been five days since Zhu Houzhao arrived in Jindi.

In five days, Zhu Houzhao traveled no less than five thousand miles and entered hundreds of villages and dozens of towns.

He already knows the situation in Jin.

It was no longer a memorial to ministers, but what he saw and heard with his own eyes.

In general, I am satisfied.

Jin Di did not live up to his expectations and developed well.

The people live and work in peace and contentment, and no one dares to bully them anymore.

The officials are motivated, honest and capable, and have trained a large number of officials capable of reform in Shanxi.

Of course, those rats and pests hiding in the dark also need to be cleaned.

On the evening of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhu Houzhao met with Zi Yihou, the master of the martial arts branch hall in Jin Dynasty.

This was the first time he met Zi Yihou. As soon as he saw him, he felt that this was a good clan that could be entrusted with important responsibilities.

There is no need to prove identity. When Ziyihou saw Zhu Houzhao, he recognized that this was Zhu Houzhao, the Shengwu Emperor.

He never expected that His Majesty would quietly come to Jin at this time.

Without being polite, Zhu Houzhao directly told Zi Yihou the things and people he had written down.

Let him watch the follow-up development and immediately send a message to the capital if something is wrong.

Zi Yihou knew this time that His Majesty had actually explored Jin. He knew in his heart that, as expected, some people and things in Jin had been caught by His Majesty.

He was not surprised by this either.

Where there is light, there is darkness.

No matter how well developed a place is, there will definitely be some dirty things.

What really surprised him was that His Majesty did not go to war immediately, but wanted to see the subsequent development.

Obviously, we want to find out more ‘sinners’ and those who do nothing.

This was different from what he knew about the fiery Emperor Shengwu's style of doing things.

But he didn’t think much about it. His Majesty would definitely be more mature, so he solemnly agreed.

Afterwards, after listening to Zi Yihou's report on the Jin Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao returned to the capital overnight.

Looking at the departing figure in the dark night, Zi Yihou sighed in his heart.

This is His Majesty’s style of conduct.

Wind, wind, fire, and movement like thunder, come as soon as you say, leave as soon as you say, without any delay, and extremely decisive.

Putting the matter aside, after pondering for a while, he immediately called his trustworthy subordinates and started making arrangements.

Here, they were traveling in the dark night. On the morning of the seventh day of the lunar month, Zhu Houzhao and others returned to the capital.

Without rest, at this time, he had more confidence in reform and had more ideas.

He directly called the cabinet, six ministries and others over.

Zhu Houzhao talked for nearly half an hour, all about his new ideas on reform.

Liu Jian and others listened very seriously and solemnly.

Finally, there is great pressure to improve these ideas and formulate specific implementation policies.

"Okay, let's talk about the plans and goals of each department for this year." Zhu Houzhao said quite relaxedly after finishing those thoughts.

Liu Jian and others looked more serious and spoke roughly.

This was started by various departments at the request of Zhu Houzhao years ago.

It was completely completed in these two days.

Listening one by one, Zhu Houzhao thought about it for a while, then nodded and said yes.

Obviously, over the past few years, various departments have become familiar with their Majesty, and know that they must not take their plans and goals for the new year lightly, and they are increasingly in line with Zhu Houzhao's wishes.
