"Your Majesty, come and see!" Wang Chengen had been standing by the window, and suddenly felt a little surprised by the situation on the street outside the window, and turned his head to Emperor Chongzhen, who was drinking tea.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was a little curious, Wang Chengen was not a lot more sophisticated, how could there be a situation that could make him feel surprised?

With that in mind, he turned his head to look out the window. I saw that on the street outside the window, there was a grain cart, full of grain, but there was no flag, and no one shouted that it was a certain house.

This situation is indeed rare to see! Emperor Chongzhen thought in his heart, so he fixed his eyes and looked at this grain cart.

It was supposed to be a team of fathers and sons, not very well dressed, and it even seemed that there was some dirt on the clothes on the son's body.

When Emperor Chongzhen was taking a closer look, Wang Chengen had already explained on the side: "Your Majesty, this father and son should have killed pigs." Look at his son's clothes, it should be the same. It is likely that his father is the shopkeeper and should dress better. ”

After his reminder, when Emperor Chongzhen looked at it again, he couldn't help but agree in his heart, this father and son should not be the mansion of civil and military generals, nor the palace nobles, just ordinary butcher shopkeepers. However, it seems that it should be more solid than the average family, and the business should be good.

Emperor Chongzhen's move to raise grain was indeed a matter of millions of migrant workers in later generations supporting the front line to fight the Liberation War, but in this Ming Dynasty, he just thought of letting those who ate the imperial court's money lend their surplus grain first. Even those rich merchants, behind their backs are all eating the court's money, let them lend surplus grain, it is also in his thoughts.

However, for ordinary people, he did not think that they also borrowed. Now seeing ordinary people lending food, I don't know why, I suddenly felt a touch of emotion in my heart, and a sentence flashed in my mind: Slaughter more dogs every time!

At this time, the father and son were sandwiched between the convoys of gongs and drums in various provinces, as if they were very unnoticed. However, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, it was the most attractive to him.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen was not dissatisfied with those who beat gongs and drums. After all, it is reasonable and understandable that people want to make a name for themselves by lending so much food.

But, in any case, relatively speaking, he was still shocked that ordinary people were willing to lend their surplus food.

Emperor Chongzhen was watching, and suddenly, Wang Chengen's voice with a little surprise sounded again: "Your Majesty, look over there again!" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard it, he looked at it, and saw that he was walking downstairs not far away, and there was even a wheelbarrow pusher, which seemed to be a family of three.

The wheelbarrow was full of grain bales on the left and right, and the head of the family had a rope on the handrail on his shoulder, and his two hands were still holding the handrail to grasp the balance, and his daughter-in-law and half-grown son were pulling the rope in front of them, and they were pushing the cart full of grain to the warehouse.

On their wheelbarrows, there were only grain packets, no slogans.

This time, without Wang Chengen's explanation, Emperor Chongzhen could naturally see that this family should not be rich, and it definitely has something to do with the people who eat the country's money, but he still lent their food.

Looking up again, Emperor Chongzhen saw more than one wheelbarrow, and it was not necessarily a husband and wife, brothers, fathers and sons......

"Your Majesty, it seems that it is indeed because it was too early before, and the big guys have not prepared the food yet." Wang Chengen looked out the window at this time and praised, "Now this street is lively!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen ignored his sycophant, and he was a little shocked by this scene outside the window.

He stood up and looked out of the window for a moment. At this time, the convoys of those high-gate mansions, like boats in the sea, were all drowned by the food delivery teams gathered by ordinary people.

After standing for a moment, he immediately turned around and said, "Go, go down and have a look!" ”

I don't know why, he had an impulse in his heart, so he wanted to ask, and the emperor didn't force it, why were they willing to lend food?

After a while, I was downstairs on the street. At this time, there were many people on both sides of the street. After the trolley team became the mainstream of the food delivery team on the street, many people ran out to see the excitement like Emperor Chongzhen, and there were even more of them.

However, Emperor Chongzhen doesn't have to worry about having no place to watch, and the factory guards who have their own plainclothes squeeze out the position, so that Emperor Chongzhen has an ideal position to watch all this.

When Emperor Chongzhen came to the street, there happened to be a family of three wheelbarrows, just next to him to stop to rest, all of them were sweating profusely, the head of the family pushing the cart was saying to his daughter-in-law and son: "It's coming soon!" ”

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen took two steps forward slightly, approached them, and then asked with a hint of curiosity, "Why did you also lend grain to the imperial court?" ”

Hearing this, the three members of the family all heard the sound and looked over. They didn't know Emperor Chongzhen, they just thought it was a rich man, so the man with the cart said with a smile: "Didn't the emperor post a notice, saying that it was a good time to fight Jianzhen, but it was just a lack of food." No, I was frightened by the lack of food before, so I usually accumulated a little food, and sent it to the imperial court to use it! ”

Emperor Chongzhen had already thought of this answer, so he further asked: "Aren't you worried about whether the imperial court will borrow or not?" Judging by your appearance, your family shouldn't be rich, right? ”

"Hehe, the notice posted by the emperor, who do we believe if we don't believe the emperor?" The man replied with a smile, and after a pause, he looked at Emperor Chongzhen and added, "Moreover, even if you don't pay it back, it's nothing." When the food is gone, it is hard to earn, but the opportunity to fight the prisoners cannot be missed. ”

"My grandfather and uncle's family were all killed by Jianyu." The child on the side suddenly opened his mouth and said to Emperor Chongzhen, "My father said that my family can't go to Liaodong to kill Jianyu, but now the emperor has given him a chance to do something to kill Jianyu, and it doesn't matter if the food is gone!" ”

"Adults talk, children don't interject!" When his mother heard it, she reprimanded him, but there was no unhappy look on her face, and she even nodded when she saw Emperor Chongzhen looking over.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The so-called more help for the righteous and less help for the unjust, this is the truth!

Hearing the conversation on their side, the other father and son also stopped next to them to rest, and at the same time wiped their sweat and interjected: "No, we can't go to Jianjiao, this donation of some food to Jianguo has finally done our part!" ”

Seeing that this was more lively, other people also came to watch, and when they heard the conversation, they all followed along.

"That's right, the court proclamation said that now it's time to be half-dead, so it's best to fight. If you don't take this opportunity to send troops, many of the court officials and soldiers will die! ”

"The emperor said that this is a temporary loan of grain, and when the grain from the south arrives, it will be returned, so what are you afraid of, the emperor has never been a bad talker!"

"Actually, even if you don't pay it back, at least you can do your part for the construction of the captive, it's nothing."

“……”

That's it, there was a lot of discussion, and Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be very moved when he listened.

Their reasons are very simple, but how many can really do this. Looking around, how many people do you see? How many dignitaries? Is their consciousness as high as that of ordinary people?

The people of the Ming Dynasty are like this, so why can't the Ming Dynasty be prosperous?

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen made up his mind in his heart, he must seek more benefits for the ordinary people, and I will not disappoint you!

He was thinking about it, and suddenly, the child just now looked at him and asked, "This lord, you seem to be very rich, how much grain have you borrowed to the court?" ”

Upon hearing this, the scene suddenly fell silent.

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen wandering around the streets with his subordinates, it doesn't look like he sent food at all, anyone who sees it can know this, that is, Tong Yan Wuji, asking people face to face.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and turned his head to look at the child. Seeing that his eyes widened, staring at himself sincerely, waiting for an answer, he couldn't help but be a little speechless.

Seriously, really, I shouldn't have borrowed food......

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen like this, the child's mother hurriedly reprimanded her son: "I want you to talk more!" ”

It can be seen that when this old man was questioning, he was still worried that he would not pay back the borrowed grain, and he must have not borrowed the grain to come out, so asking in person would definitely be very embarrassing.

Wang Chengen watched all this, and when he saw that the emperor seemed a little embarrassed, he wanted to stand up and reprimand him to save face for the emperor.

However, at this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly asked with a very surprised voice, "The emperor...... Emperor? Are you ...... Emperor? ”

After all, Emperor Chongzhen has shown his face in public several times, and the most recent one was the military parade a year ago.

However, the number of people who can see the emperor clearly is still very limited, and the vast majority of the people can only see a figure.

Besides, they didn't expect that the emperor would pay a private visit and stand here talking to them. Therefore, even those who saw the emperor's appearance did not recognize it at the first time.

However, Emperor Chongzhen became the focus of the audience just now, and the scene quieted down for a while, and someone looked at Emperor Chongzhen carefully, and then looked at the people around him, and then had uncertain questions.

As soon as I heard this voice, all of a sudden, some people looked more and more like it, and then asked suspiciously, "Really...... Is it really the emperor? ”

In this case, Emperor Chongzhen was also generous, and immediately nodded and said, "Hehe, it's me!" ”

When Wang Chengen saw it, he immediately said loudly: "The emperor is here, and he hasn't seen the courtesy!" ”

The eunuch's voice is very unique, and you can hear it as soon as you hear it.

So, after he finished speaking, all of a sudden, the scene became very quiet again!
