The secret team set out, and the number of people accompanying them was no more than thirty or fifty, but there were at least thousands of people who could secretly protect the emperor. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Starting from the capital and arriving at Xuanfu, Zhu Youzhu sighed that the Xuanfu Xiongguan was majestic and magnificent, and personally went to the barracks to see a group of bitter old soldiers.

Those old pawns didn't know what this weak young man with a crown of jade was doing, but they were all grateful to him.

Because after this man was gone, they all put down their weapons and received a lot of silver, and even the commander of the army found them a place to live.

These veterans are all missing arms and legs, and Zhang Ru personally took out a large part of the military pension, and the rest is simply not enough for such a large number of disabled soldiers to be resettled.

Therefore, they still do what they can in the army.

To put it bluntly, it was Zhang Ru who privately paid for them and raised them, soldiers who thought they were wasters.

If it is solved this time, the lives of the veterans can be resettled, which can be regarded as a great thing of great merit.

"I, Da Ming, there are many soldiers like this!" Zhu Youzhu sighed, although he had already left Xuanfu, his heart still couldn't let go.

Zhang Ruqiang smiled: "I told you a long time ago, don't come to the barracks, you want to come." It's not good to go somewhere, but to go to the remnant camp. After years of war, countless casualties, the living must be settled, and the money must be taken from the treasury of the imperial court, and those ministers were the first to jump out against it.

Wenxuan's daily progress is gold, so it's okay to help as much as he can. But if the Wenxuan really resettles all of them, the Wenxuan will be dragged down.

There were many such soldiers, many of whom died of old age, and many more died of poverty.

There is no need for you to worry about such things, because wars always lead to death. They were able to live because the robes who died in battle helped them. ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "As soon as this person is old, he likes to think about things and think about them, Brother Tiger, don't mind, I don't blame you." ”

Zhang Ru rolled his eyes: "It's useless for you to blame me, war, thousands of people and soldiers were still alive last night, and today may be a lump of meat on the battlefield." Okay, let's not talk about this, don't go to places like military camps in the future, take a good look at the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and take a look at the customs and customs of various places by the way. ”

There is not so much time left for Zhu Youzhang, so every place he goes to is basically a sightseeing experience, and the speed of the team's progress is neither fast nor slow, at least it can ensure that he can see something.

As for whether the emperor has a comprehensive understanding of his own country, Zhang Ru can't care so much. He didn't know when the emperor's illness would attack, and if he didn't return to Beijing, he would be unlucky.

The emperor, who was free of political troubles, was much more relaxed, and his face was flushed that he hadn't seen for several years, and he actually came back after seeing the 10,000-person monument in Datong Border Town.

At that time, he patted Zhang Ru on the back and said that Brother Tiger has made you bitter, but Zhang Ru smiled understandingly.

In an era when only civil officials and certain heroes and generals can establish a monument, it is really not easy for him to let these unknown pawns have a chance to leave a name in the world.

Zhu Youzhu also said that there should be a few more people like Liu Peng, and a few more Ming officialdom may not need to spend a lot of effort to rectify.

On this point, Zhang Ru unceremoniously refuted it in person, he said that Liu Peng and his ilk fortunately died on the battlefield, with my salary before the Ming Dynasty, not to mention Liu Peng, who is not afraid of death, even people like Liu Xia Hui who are not in a mess may become a huge greed after being an official for a few years.

Fortunately, the officials' salaries have gone up, and although there are still corruption in various places, it is no longer so obvious.

This is also due to Zhang Ru's very ingenious means of cracking down on corruption, as long as an official has political achievements and no one has a murder case in his hands, even if the other party embezzles more, his family will not be affected. There are even some officials who are not very corrupt, have a clean foundation, and rule the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and he has even let go of his own life.

The last stop is Fuzhou, which has developed into a real metropolis as the first place where shipping began. It probably doesn't have much to do with politics, because it's not a political center after all. But its economic development is slightly inferior to that of the capital.

Everywhere there are tall buildings rising from the ground, the tallest of which is five stories high, and all of them are made of new materials.

The streets are bustling with people, and the spacious streets are filled with vendors on both sides of the streets, as well as two horse-drawn carriages passing side by side.

After seeing Fuzhou, Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Brother Tiger, I finally believe now that the prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty is coming!" ”

Zhang Ru proudly pointed to the giant ship docked at the harbor and said: "The prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty has already come, but His Majesty was in the capital before, and he didn't have time to see such a scene." ”

Zhu Youzhang's eyes moistened, and he was very satisfied that he had seen all this, but he felt melancholy at the thought that he might be dying.

He's only in his thirties! It is the time when a person is at his most energetic, but he has entered his twilight years ahead of schedule.

He didn't want to die, but he knew that people were born, old, sick and died. It is not easy to live until now.

Zhang Ru also saw the pathos on Zhu Youzhang's face, and pulled him and said, "Don't think too much, live for a day, just live for a day." Look at those ordinary people, which one of them didn't wear gold and silver, they might have had such a life before? No, there was no such life before, and there was no food and no clothes before.

If it weren't for His Majesty's exhaustion, they might have died and lived for the rest of their lives, not knowing what the silk and silk look like. ”

Zhu Youzhu wiped the tears on his face: "Yes! I should be content, my country is as beautiful as a picture. This time, I didn't come out in vain. Otherwise, even if I die, I don't know what my country is like, and I will be laughed at when I say it! ”

Zhang Ru pointed to a separate four-story building not far away: "Your Majesty, it is a famous place for fireworks, a place where you can have fun." There are too many rich people in Fuzhou, and they need a channel to vent. ”

Zhu Youzhang's face immediately became strange: "Brother Hu, do you think my body can still be enjoyed in such a place?" ”

Zhang Ru scolded with a smile: "Where do you want to go, I mean, even the life of a prostitute has become very good, and the life of other ordinary people can be imagined."

Don't worry, I can guarantee you that within 30 years, there will be no more prostitution in the Ming Dynasty. (To be continued.) )
