Back to the Ming Dynasty Chapter 93
"Hey, where am I a local, I'm the same as a few, are from Fang, ashamed to say, the old Han family of three, are all fleeing from the south to come here, two years ago the Yellow River floods, flooded my land and houses, our family of three escaped from death, there is no way, just follow the victims all the way north, come here. I heard that this is a new capital under construction, and we estimated that we came here to find a job to maintain our health, so we came here, who would have thought ...... Ah, the old man said, and here he stopped.
"I've heard that the workers in this new capital are all screened, and ordinary people don't want them at all. And these people are all finalized within the official family......" the prince said on the side.
"Isn't it? We originally wanted to find a job, but we didn't expect that, as this son said, we found that people didn't want us at all, so we have been living on the streets, and we have been begging for food to make a living...... "The old man said this, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Hey, the Yellow River flood, didn't the imperial court allocate relief food, why don't you wait for the relief and post-disaster reconstruction. It's not easy to leave your hometown with such a background and come here for thousands ......of miles."
"If we can live there, who wants to leave their hometown and come here? My old man is also in his sixties this year, and I am afraid that he is destined to be buried in another country in this life......
"Can't survive?"
"Childe, do you know that after the flood, our houses collapsed and our fields were destroyed, and those who ran fast picked up a life, and those who ran slowly lost their lives. After the disaster, the corpses are all over the field, the fields are full of silt, and it is extremely difficult to reclaim, and there will be a great plague after the disaster. And that's not even the main thing. You just said that the relief food of the imperial court, silver. Not to mention the silver, we didn't even see a grain of grain. I'm afraid we have all been detained by those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and we people can only resign ourselves to fate and leave our hometowns......" said the old man.
"Hmph, these hateful corrupt officials...... the prince said angrily.
"Hey, the world is as black as a crow, and these days, there are very few good officials...... Most of them are protected by officials and officials, and the court can't do anything about them, let alone us poor people......"
"Hey, old man, I see that every family in this village has built a new house, and the weather is very good......," said the prince.
"Originally, there was no village here, there were no houses, and the people here were basically refugees who had fled, and the capital did not let us in, so we had to settle here and build a shed to shelter from the rain...... It wasn't until a while ago that we built a house, and we had a place to stay, and we slept in the open...... "The old man said.
"It seems that the officials here are not good officials, and they have built houses for you victims. This is also the court's kindness to you."
"The court has always been good to our people, but the hateful thing is those corrupt officials, and the officials here are not very good, but they are better than our officials there, and the officials here can at least give us a little food...... But, hey, it's all the same......"
"Oh, aren't these houses funded by the imperial court for you to build?" asked the Son of Heaven,
"Of course not, the officials here are actually not much better, they don't let us enter the city, they bring us here and settle us, and each person is given ten catties of food every month, how can this be enough to eat...... And there is not even a place to stay...... These houses were built by Zhu Dashan with the help of us......" said the old man.
"Zhu Dashanren?"
"Well, it seems to be a wealthy merchant in the capital...... There's a mountain cottage here...... When we fled here, he couldn't bear to see us sleeping in the open, so he funded each of our families to build houses, which ended our life of displacement. This Zhu Dashan is our reborn parent...... If it depends on the imperial court...... Maybe we'll all starve to death......"
"You ......" The prince was a little unhappy when he heard this, but when he turned his head and thought about it, the officials here were really hateful, and the court allocated money to resettle the victims, but they were detained. I didn't know if I didn't come, I thought that these houses were the credit of the official, and I wanted to get to know this good official, but I didn't expect it to be such a number one person. However, this Zhu Dashan man aroused his interest.
"Old man, how much do you know about this Zhu Dashan, what kind ......of person is this?"
"This Zhu Dashan is originally known as Zhu Guangfu. He is said to be a wealthy businessman...... Doing business in the capital, there is a Tiger Roaring Heights Villa over there, it is his, he is a good person, he will help the victims when he sees it...... We are all by his kindness. I don't know much about it, people are the masters of good deeds. We are little people, who have accepted favors from others, but we have never even seen them......"
"Oh...... Old man, excuse me. Thank you for the water, we're going to say goodbye......"
"Let's stay and have a light meal before leaving......"
"Reading and writing old man, don't ......" The prince motioned to Feng Jianfei to leave a few taels of silver, and left.
Several people left the village. The prince had mixed feelings in his heart, at the foot of the capital, these officials dared to do anything wrong, and said that the emperor was far away. However, he wanted to meet this good man Zhu Da, who was able to support so many refugees in one go, but he had never heard of this good man.
"This is where it's heading. The prince asked.
"I asked the old man just now, this is the ...... to Tiger Roaring Heights," Feng Jianfei said.
"How do you know I'm going there," the prince asked Feng Jianfei with a smile. Now feudal Fei seems to have become a roundworm in the prince's stomach.
"Hehe, you just kept asking about that Zhu Dashan person, I knew that you must want to meet this person"
"I do want to meet this man. Thanks to this man's rescue, this is the first time I've heard of such a great benevolent person...... I have done such great good deeds in this capital, how can I not know who this person is......"
After a few people walked for a while, they saw a table of manors in front of them. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is very exquisitely repaired. It's a bit of a Jiangnan flavor.
"This place is so quiet," Lin Hainan said to himself, ...... said.
Several people came to the gate of the villa, and there were two mighty tigers standing outside the gate, with teeth and claws, and the image was realistic. The door was opened by an old man, about forty or fifty years of age, dressed in the clothes of a steward. I looked a few people up and down.
"Why are you here?" the man asked, looking at a few people.
"Let's visit Zhu Dashanren, and I hope you will report it. Feng Jianfei said.
"I'm sorry, my master is not a guest, please come back. The man said disdainfully.
"You ......" Feng Jianfei was about to say something, but was stopped by the prince.
"You tell your master, just say that the surname Zhu from the capital is and you want to visit him. The prince motioned to Feng Jianfei to hand the man a few taels of silver. The man took the money. He closed the door and went in.
After a while, the door opened again. The door was opened by a fat man with a slightly chubby body, dressed in gorgeous clothes. He was followed by a few subordinates. He wears a purple and gold crown on his head and a jade wrench on his hand. Holding a purple clay pot in his right hand, Lin Hainan knew at a glance that this was a high-grade product.
As soon as the man saw the prince, he opened his mouth, "That one is surnamed Zhu from the capital?"
"I am ......," the prince said.
"Oh," said the man, after looking the prince up and down.
"Come in!"
The man walked in front of him, and brought a few people into the villa, which was also beautifully repaired. Pavilions and rockeries, everything is available, this person is a master who will enjoy.
Several people followed him to a hall.
"Wang Fu, make some tea!" the man commanded.
"You may be seated!" the prince sat down. Feng Jianfei stood behind. Lin Hainan also followed.
"How many people are from the capital?" The man looked at the crown prince and the few people standing behind him, and looked up and down.
"Along the way, the people near the pavilion said that Zhu Dashan was kind-hearted and kind, and he came to meet ......."
"Where, where, it's just a little thing...... Unknown Childe's Name ......"
"Contemptible Zhu Gaochi..."
"Zhu Gaochi ......"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
When the man heard Zhu Gaochi's words, he was shocked, so he quickly knelt down.
As soon as Zhu Guangfu heard the prince's name, he immediately knelt down. Linhai is a little strange, this Zhu Guangfu should not be an ordinary businessman, it is not difficult to know that the prince's name is secret, the prince loves the people like a son, and it is normal for him to be famous. But he just got to his knees. There seems to be no suspicion at all, which makes Linhainan a little strange. It's not like a shrewd businessman.
"Zhu Dashan doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can come to the Humble House, which really makes the Humble House shine. I heard the housekeeper say that the surname from the capital is Zhu. Looking at the majesty of the prince again, as soon as I heard the prince's name, I knew that it was the prince, and you arrived......" Zhu Guangfu looked flattered.
"I was also passing by here, and I heard the people here talk about Zhu Dashan and say that you are rich and benevolent. Helped the refugees build houses and distributed food to them...... There are people who have done such good deeds, and I have come to pay a special visit. ”
"The prince is serious, Zhu is just doing his best, Zhu Mou is doing some small business, and he still has some money in his hand, so he can help the poor refugees. Zhu Mou was also born in poverty...... Fortunately, there is an enlightened policy of the imperial court, which allows Zhu to make some money. Zhu should do something for the people......" Zhu Guangfu said,
"It's a shame to say that this should be a matter within the court's responsibility, but the local government is corrupt and perverts the law. embezzlement of food money for disaster relief. I'm going back this time to play the Ming Sheng. I don't feel like I can spare them," the prince said with itchy teeth.
"I just did a little thing, and being able to let the prince come to the door in person is already torturing Zhu. Zhu Guangfu said.
I don't know why, Lin Hainan felt that something was wrong as soon as he entered the door, he began to look around, but he didn't find anything strange.
"Zhu Dashan, I'm just rewarding the good and punishing the evil. I will definitely play the Holy Majesty and give you a reward. ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, don't dare to take the reward, it is already a great honor for the people to come to the Humble House today, where do you dare to talk about the word commendation......" At this time, Zhu Guangfu looked at the prince and said.
