Looking at the portable jade pendant handed by the young man in front of him, Zhou Chen did not hesitate or hesitate to say anything, he directly reached out and took the jade pendant.

With the status of this young man, the jade pendant he carries with him must represent extraordinary significance.

Not to mention anything else, if this young man is really the prince of the dynasty that Zhou Chen guessed in his heart, the value of this jade pendant is very valuable.

After all, Zhou Chen's trip to the capital was to participate in the Spring Test, if he was lucky enough to be able to enter the Ming Dynasty officialdom with the title of the gold list, then today's events will definitely provide Zhou Chen with a ladder to the top.

Even if Zhou Chen's guess was a little wrong, judging from the fact that the young man in front of him was able to mobilize the power of Jinyiwei, his favor was extremely valuable.

Therefore, Zhou Chen naturally had no intention of refusing this jade pendant, he solemnly took the jade pendant into his arms, and properly placed it in front of the young man.

Afterwards, I saw Zhou Chen clasp his fist at the young man and said: "I will treat this jade pendant given by Brother Tai as a treasure, but I just hope that the day when I don't use this jade pendant will be good!" ”

Hearing this in his ears, the young man couldn't help but shake his head and said with a smile: "What Brother Tai said is very true, then I will wish Brother Tai a smooth sailing in this life, and never have trouble and trouble, so as not to use this jade pendant." ”

Zhou Chen also responded with a smile: "I borrowed the auspicious words of my brother's platform!" ”

It was already late at night, so Zhou Chen and the young man returned to their previous positions to rest after a while of greeting and exchange.

Because of the fact that they had just shared the same hatred and had a good conversation, the relationship between the two of them was not as tense as before.

Although the necessary vigilance and vigilance are indispensable, at least the four brocade guards are no longer sleeping, and they all faintly face the embroidered spring knife in their hands towards Zhou Chen and the two of them.

And Zhou Chen and Ba Dao were even more completely relaxed, after all, with the martial arts cultivation of those four Jinyi Guards, they could not pose any threat to the two of them at all.

The next morning, the original storm had largely subsided.

Even though the snow on the road is very thick, it is not a problem to continue on the road without the help of the snowstorm.

After Ba Dao got up early in the morning, he directly led the tall horse back and pulled the carriage to the gate of the broken temple.

After hastily eating some of the dry food they had brought with them, Zhou Chen and Badao drove straight to the direction of the capital in the carriage.

It is worth mentioning that the young man was also escorted by four brocade guards and left the broken temple.

And the direction he went was the same as Zhou Chen, and his destination was also the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

The two carriages drove towards the capital together, and they drove side by side on this spacious official road, and it did not seem congested.

Zhou Chen and the others were originally not far from the capital, at most it was only more than ten miles away.

It was only because they were hindered by the violent storm that they would stop in the ruined temple to avoid the fierce wind and snow.

Now that the storm has subsided, even the snow on the roads is so thick that it is impossible for the horses and chariots to exert their speeds.

But by noon, Zhou Chen, the young man and the others had still entered the realm of the capital.

As the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the capital should have been the most prosperous area of the Ming Dynasty.

However, because of the heavy snow this winter, the entire northern part of the Ming Dynasty had a frost disaster.

Even in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, there were groups of victims from all directions.

This made Zhou Chen and the others enter the capital, and the first thing they saw was not the ideal prosperity, but the victims who flocked outside the city.

Looking at the victims who gathered together like a black cloud destroying the city, Zhou Chen and the young man couldn't help but stop the carriage and walked out.

Especially between the young man's eyebrows, there was a look of disbelief.

I only heard the young man exclaim: "Didn't the ministers of the court say that the country and the people are safe today, and the people live and work in peace and contentment?!"

Why has it only snowed for a few days, and such a huge number of victims have gathered in this capital?! ”

These victims are basically from the Zhili area around the capital, and their clothes are good to describe as ragged.

Some of the victims were even wrapped in straw mats, without even decent clothes.

Judging from the yellow and thin appearance of these victims, plus the straw rope around their waists that is almost strangled.

Even before the heavy snowfall, it would be difficult for them to fill their stomachs.

What's more, once the freeze disaster occurred, the lives of these victims were even more difficult.

"I'm afraid that all of these victims are just people around the capital, and I don't know how many people are affected by other provincial roads!"

Hearing the young man's exclamation, Zhou Chen's eyes couldn't help but show a look of mockery, only to hear him say out loud: "As for the ministers in the court? Just listen to what they have to say.

In the eyes of these officials and lords, as long as there is no man-made rebellion in the world, it is the peace of the country and the people, as long as the people do not freeze to death and starve to death in large numbers. ”

It seemed that the young man rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with the true portrayal of the world, so the gathering of such a huge scale of disaster victims directly shocked his heart.

He muttered in disbelief: "This is what the ministers of the DPRK and China are talking about Guotai and Min'an?" Guotai Min'an? ”

"Brother Tai, do you say that it is really difficult for the people to really live and work in peace and contentment?!"

After a long time had passed, the young man finally came to his senses, and he asked in a very deep tone.

The young man sounded like he was asking Zhou Chen, but in fact, it was more like he was questioning himself.

Zhou Chen, who heard this in his ears, just smiled and shook his head, and did not give any practical answer.

If you want to really let the people live and work in peace and contentment, in fact, it is very simple, as long as you hide the wealth from the people, it is enough to make the people rich.

The people's money bags became rich, and the entire court naturally became rich.

But now the treasury of the imperial court is very empty, and the officials of all ministries are thinking about how to get wool from the people, how to hide the wealth from the people? That's simply not realistic!

The most important thing is that since Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, established the Ming Dynasty, he wanted to pursue the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business.

If commerce is not taken seriously, how rich can the entire imperial court be?
