It's noon.

When Ying Tianfu had not cleared the snow on the roads in the city, the twenty-four chamberlains and palace ladies in the palace had already cleared the snow in the palace.

A series of winding passages between the snow connect the various temples in the palace.

Then there were people left everywhere, holding brooms to keep sweeping the cleared passages against the snowfall that fell like rain overhead, so as to avoid the snow that would never stop, and flood the passages that had been cleared with great difficulty.

Zhu Yunxi stood behind the noon gate and looked in front of him.

Starting from Fengtianmen, to Fengtian Palace, the Wenhua Palace, Wuying Palace, Ciqing Palace, and White Tiger Hall on both sides, everywhere in the palace, are all white.

The red and yellow glazed tiles in the past are now also pressed down by layers of snow, losing the splendor of the past, leaving only the deep red wall, quietly recording everything that happened in this palace.

Recently, he didn't return to the palace for a while, so Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but stay for a while, looking at the continuous palace in front of him.

Behind him, there was a creaking sound of feet stepping on the snow.

Tian Mai, who had gone to do business before, came by snow at this time: "Your Highness, Sun Qianhu has already sent someone from Beizhen Fusi to Jintan County, and it will take a few days to arrest Jintan County and return to Beijing."

"At present, there is no sign of hoarding goods and raising prices, and they are still selling rice and grain to the people, and the merchants selling charcoal fire everywhere have not increased their prices. It's just ......."

Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows: "It's just that the form outside Yingtian City is not optimistic, right?"

Tian Mai nodded silently: "In addition to Shangyuan and Jiangning counties, the grain merchants and charcoal merchants in Yingtianfu have not raised prices yet, but their subordinates have learned that they are reducing the number of sales to the outside world. According to the speculation of his subordinates, if this snow does not stop falling for a long time, it is imperative to increase the price."

That's what it's all about.

No matter the time, no matter the region, no matter whose world it is!

Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly: "This is a matter of Ying Tianfu, how did they deal with it."

"Ying Tianfu has just issued county documents today, asking all counties to supervise the handling of private prices. It's just that his subordinates think that this matter may only be a thunderstorm and a little rain for the heavenly government and the county government governments."

"They only do things at the feet of the Son of Heaven, in the lonely lake in front of them. Out of Yingtian City, it is already like this in all parts of Yingtianfu. Then, out of Yingtianfu, I'm afraid it's already very difficult for the people's livelihood." Zhu Yunxi muttered faintly, and his eyes secretly gave birth to a trace of murderous aura.

Tian Mai didn't know how to answer, so he could only say truthfully: "Outside of Ying Tianfu, my subordinates haven't received the news yet, and I'm afraid it will take a few days to know."

Zhu Yunxi snorted again, and said in a deep voice: "Inform Sun Cheng, let him cooperate with your secret guards, continue to expand the personnel, and go to various places to secretly investigate."

This is to expand the Dark Guard.

Tian Mai was naturally happy to see it, and immediately bowed down: "The subordinates receive the order."

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and sighed, looked at the Fengtianmen Square behind the noon gate, and gradually moved his eyes to the right Shun Gate on the left.

It was the palace gate leading to the Wuying Hall and the Six Branch Corridors and the Tax Office.

"Do you really want to use the Jing army to garrison Yingtian?" ….

In the tax office, Zhu Gaochi asked Zhu Yunxi again, who had just arrived, with some uncertainty on his face.

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and looked at the flying snow outside the window, which seemed to be getting smaller at this time: "It's already to the point where you have to use it."

Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "You don't trust the civil officials at all now?"

"I don't believe anybody."

Zhu Yunxi made a loud noise, glanced at Xiaopang vigorously, and then lightly picked up the steaming teacup in front of him.

Take a sip.

Zhu Yunxi frowned: "Is it snow meltwater?"

Zhu Gaochi poured tea for Zhu Yunxi in the pot, nodded and said, "The heavy snow is blocking the road, where is there still someone to get spring water back to the palace." Just a little bit of pearl spring water back and forth, it's all used by the emperor's grandfather, uncle, and harem ladies."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi's arm shook.

A few drops of tea fell on the eucalyptus placed on the table, and Zhu Gaochi also forgot to wipe the water stains, but put down the teapot with a frown, put his hands on his chest, and fell into deep thought.

Zhu Yunxi drank the second cup of tea, and drank another cup for himself.

After drinking three cups of tea, he silently looked out the window.

I don't know how long time has passed, and Zhu Yunxi's ears have some sounds.

Then, I only heard Zhu Gaochi frown and sigh lightly: "It's really time to use the Beijing army."

Zhu Yunxi turned his head with a smile and looked at the fat man with a solemn face: "Figured it out?"

Zhu Gaochi nodded.

Then he pulled all the things on the table between the two of them around, and put a cup of tea in the middle.

Zhu Gaochi stretched out a hand and stuffed it into the teacup, and drew a circle on the table with the tea.

"With the Beijing army, this is a warning to civilian officials, and the Ming Dynasty is not alone in civilian officials."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and hummed, "This is one of them."

Zhu Gaochi dipped his fingers in water again and drew another circle on the table.

"With the Beijing army, we can speed up the relief of the people, shorten the time, and reduce the disaster situation of the people. It will save manpower and material resources for the local government, so that it can concentrate on the disaster situation in the local area."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi was getting faster and faster, and drew a third circle on the table: "With the Beijing army, they are not subordinate to the locality, and they are dispatched to Beijing to transport grain and grass and clear the roads. If they are not controlled, it means that they can do many things that the local government does not want to, dare not do, and cannot do!"

The corners of Zhu Yunxi's mouth raised, and he raised his eyebrows: "Tell me about this third circle."

Zhu Gaochi glanced up at Zhu Yunxi, then immediately lowered his head, and drew a vertical line under the third circle, connected with a dot: "First, if the local government is greedy for ink and withholds grain and grass, the generals of the Beijing army who go can use the officers and soldiers of Beijing to deter the government. Or if there are local people who rob the grain and grass, they can also suppress it."

Then, Zhu Gaochi drew a second vertical line and dot.

"Second, using the Beijing army to go to various places will let the people know that the court will never forget the people of the world. As long as the Beijing army brought grain, grass, and coal to the place, it was delivered to the people. No matter how much impact this natural disaster has, most of the people will not complain about the imperial court. This move can be said to be the court's efforts to win over the people." ….

"The Last ......"

Zhu Gaochi said this, and then paused.

Then he glanced up at Zhu Yunxi, and saw that there was no change on the other party's face, but he was waiting for him to continue.

Only then did he whisper, "In the end, it is to deter the local gentry and merchants. If such heavy snow continues, it will inevitably become a disaster. Under the catastrophe, the gentry and merchants, in pursuit of profit, will inevitably hoard and close their shops, and when the disaster is uncontrollable, they will increase prices and exploit the people's already small amount of money, even wives and children, and land!"

Zhu Yunxi's palm lightly fell on the table at this time, and asked with a smile: "Now that the imperial court has begun to transport grain, grass, and coal, and then send them to various prefectures and counties one by one, why do the gentry and merchants hoard goods and raise prices?"

It seems that Zhu Gaochi has already thought about this problem.

I saw that his expression became more and more solemn and said, "Time! Location! If everything develops in the worst direction, the imperial court will even send out the military guards of the direct relatives, and I am afraid that it will not be too late to transfer grain, grass, and coal to all the prefectures and counties on both sides of the Yangtze River.

It's only been three or five days now, and the palace has already begun to use snow meltwater. What will happen to the people? I think I'm afraid that by this time, there are already people in the middle of a difficult choice."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi let out a sigh of relief, and said with a faint gaze: "Not every people's home has enough rice and firewood for the winter......

Poverty is the main theme of the moment.

The people of Yingtiancheng have rice and grain that can support the imperial court in their homes, and there are coal and firewood that they dare not raise because they are in Gyeonggi.

It doesn't mean that the people in all parts of the Ming Dynasty can have such days.

at

The time difference and the distance from both sides of the Yangtze River will extend the time for the people to receive the imperial court's alms.

And this gives opportunities to those who are blinded by money.

forcibly seized and plundered, forcing the people to sell their wives and children, and sell all the land in their homes.

"That's why I have to use the Jing Army." Zhu Yunxi said silently, his face was not too good-looking.

Throughout the ages, the struggle between the central dynasty and the local government and interest groups has been repeated over and over again. In the case of local natural and man-made disasters, if the people are deliberately guided by the gangsters, the final spearhead will be directly pointed at the central court.

But the court is far away and can never be all-encompassing, and if possible, there is no ruler who does not want to be able to deal with every one of his subjects himself.

Precisely because it is impossible.

Therefore, it also gives opportunities to those who share power.

Zhu Gaochi took a rag from somewhere and wiped the water stains off the table: "Now that the tax office has completed the restructuring of the tax collector of the grain chief of Tianfu, after this snowstorm, do you want to advance to Zhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang, Henan and other places?"

"Gao Yangzhi sent a letter from the previous one, and the general is ready to wait for the beginning of spring to come back in turn." Zhu Yunxi said softly: "At that time, now Zhili will promote the reform of the grain chief tax officer."

Zhu Gaochi nodded: "Then I will start selecting the right people now, and when the time comes, I will lead the old and the new to go to various places to form tax office branches."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi glanced at Zhu Yunxi, who had not been back to the palace for several days, and came to his tax office as soon as he came back, and smiled silently, probably he came here for this matter. ….

Really.

When the tax office's decision to continue the restructuring with the old and the new next year was decided, Zhu Yunxi patted his ass and stood up: "I have to go to the Qianqing Palace to face the saint."

Zhu Gaochi nodded and got up, walked to the back of the door and pulled out the latch.

Whew.

A cold wind swept the snow into the house.

Zhu Gaochi put his hands against a door, and looked out with his probe: "This snow is a little heavier."

Zhu Yunxi snorted and waved his hand, "Let's go."

Bang.

When Zhu Yunxi just stepped out of the door, there was a clang behind him.

……

"Your Majesty, the grandson is here!"

In the Qianqing Palace, Sun Gou'er's face was full of smiles, and the folds on his face were so deep that he could hang two catties of meat.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was lying on his side on the soft couch, with a blanket on his legs, holding a scroll in one hand and rubbing his hand in the warm pot with the other, was stunned when he heard the sound.

With both hands thrown and feet kicked, the scrolls, the kettle, and the blanket all took off their hands and left their bodies.

Sitting on the side and flipping through the recitals, from time to time he added smokeless incense charcoal to the charcoal stove next to the soft couch and roasted a few oranges, and immediately stood up: "Your body needs to recuperate now, and you must not have such a big movement."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened anxiously: "Don't stand in the way, that kid moved out of the palace after getting married, and now he won't return to the palace to see us for several days." Is this forgetting grandpa after marrying a daughter-in-law! Why haven't you come in yet?"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was blocked by the prince, could only scold and look at Sun Gou'er who came in to deliver the message.

Sun Gou'er hurriedly explained: "The snow outside is heavier again, and Taisun is patting away the falling snow on his body, dispelling the cold and coming in again."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted reluctantly, glared at the prince who was still blocking him, pouted and leaned back on the soft couch: "That kid still has a little filial piety."

Zhu Biao's face was full of helplessness, the old man is becoming more and more childish now. Especially after the body got cold this time, this state became more and more obvious.

He looked back at the empty door and listened to the howling of the wind coming in from outside the palace.

That kid probably came here for this winter's snow.

Less.

Zhu Yunxi, who had already taken off his outer clothes and removed the cold air on his body, finally slowly walked into the dormitory.

"A grandson visits his grandfather, and a son visits his father.

」

When he arrived in front of the old man and his father, Zhu Yunxi knelt and bowed.

Zhu Biao looked sideways slightly, and his eyes couldn't help narrowing.

This kid specified what he had done.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy, and beckoned with a smile: "Get up, get up, you will be an adult after you are really married." When you go back to the palace today, do you encounter any difficulties and ask grandpa to help you?"

Zhu Yunxi lowered his head, glanced at his father, took two baked oranges from his father's eyes, and then walked to the old man, sitting cross-legged on the felt spread on the ground in front of the soft couch.

While peeling the steaming roasted oranges, he said, "Today, Sun Er, together with the officials of the six ministries and the three law divisions and the yamen hall of each ministry, as well as the meritorious military generals of the five military capitals, discussed the matter of this winter's snow situation in the yamen of the general political envoy department. Now that the snow has been falling for several days, my grandson thinks that we must prepare as soon as possible, so that my people will not suffer." ….

After speaking, the roasted oranges have also been peeled.

Zhu Yunxi stretched out his hand and sent the roasted orange to the old man.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the roasted orange, glanced at his eldest grandson with a smile in his eyes, broke off the hot roasted orange in two pieces, and stuffed it into his mouth while it was hot.

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, "Tell me, what have you done, or what are you going to do?"

Zhu Yunxi showed a simple smile: "Back to grandpa's words, my grandson transferred 20,000 Beijing troops to Hangzhou Fucang today, transported grain and grass with the ship, went up the river, and escorted the grain and grass to various prefectures and counties. Another 10,000 Beijing troops were sent to Shouzhou, Ningxiang, and Pingxiang to urge coal mining and send it to various places to relieve the urgent needs of the people."

"You moved the Jing Army?"

Without waiting for the old man to speak, Zhu Biao, who was holding a few oranges and putting them on the stove, immediately picked his head and looked at it.

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand to Sun Gou'er and pointed to the blanket that he had kicked away before.

Sun Gou'er immediately bowed forward, took a blanket and carefully covered Zhu Yuanzhang's leg.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke: "You also said that since it is to solve the urgent needs of the people, then do it according to your own wishes."

Zhu Yunxi silently looked up at the old man, and then whispered, "Grandson, prepare for it, no less than 100,000 Beijing troops will be mobilized this winter......

"Zhu Yunxi!"

As soon as he heard that he was going to use 100,000 Beijing troops, Zhu Biao stood up with a rub, and the four oranges that had just been put on the stove fell to the ground with a round sound, and rolled out with a gurgling sound.

Zhu Yuanzhang coughed lightly, glanced at the prince, and stretched out his hand to suppress it: "My family started among the people, and the people were affected by disasters, and my family has an unshirkable responsibility. The Son of Heaven has ten thousand gold, and the people provide for it. The people are in danger, how can the Son of Heaven be safe?"

Zhu Biao opened his mouth: "Father!"

"Let's do it." Zhu Yuanzhang directly didn't give the prince a chance to continue, and looked down at Zhu Yunxi: "My family treats the people with kindness, and the Jingshi has no soldiers, and there will be people in the city to protect the safety of my family."

Zhu Yunxi was a little moved at the moment.

The use of the Beijing army, even in anticipation, most of the Beijing army will be transferred out of Beijing, but the old man did not show a trace of dissatisfaction and hesitation.

Zhu Yunxi moved his body, knelt in front of the old man, and said in a deep voice: "Grandpa Shengming, grandson thanks on behalf of the people of Jiangnan."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted twice, leaned out, and took another roasted orange in Zhu Yunxi's hand.

Leaning on the soft couch, Zhu Yuanzhang peeled the roasted orange with only a little heat left, and said quietly: "After talking about state affairs, shouldn't we also talk about family affairs?"

Zhu Yunxi hurriedly lowered his head quietly, and his body moved back cautiously, wanting to leave quietly.

"Grandpa is just old, but he is not blind." Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, reached out and threw the orange peel he had just peeled at Zhu Yunxi: "It's been almost three months, why hasn't there been any movement in your grandson's mansion?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled all over his face, picked up the orange peels scattered on the ground, and explained to the old man, "Grandpa, this matter is not said to have existed. The sage also said that young people should abstain from it. You can't let your grandchildren indulge in lust and fascination from now on

Abolish the government and state affairs." ….

Zhu Yuanzhang glared, reached out and wiped his mouth.

Bang bang

A large ball of orange seeds was thrown at Zhu Yunxi by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Then, I saw Zhu Yuanzhang's face full of disgust: "It's this orange, it's better than you." !"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and kept nodding his head.

Fortunately, I didn't eat pomegranates today, otherwise the old man would probably have to squeeze himself and become an adult.

Escaping from the Qianqing Palace with numb hands and feet, Zhu Yunxi took the outer coat sent by Tian Mai and draped it on his body, looking up at the gray sky.

"Go back to Taisun's Mansion."

Tian Mai hummed, and then said, "The section from Xihua Gate to Xi'an Gate is blocked, and the palace is still being cleaned up. When I return home, I still have to go out through the noon gate."

It's going to be a big circle.

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but take a sip: "Thief God!"

But he said it quietly, lest others should listen to it.

Then, the master and servant didn't say much, and left the palace with their heads down.

When Zhu Yunxi and Tian Mai walked out of Duanmen all the way and were going out of the palace to Chengtianmen, suddenly a black shadow like a bear flashed in front of them.

Then I only felt that my feet were off the ground, and the whole person was dragged to one side.

"Your Highness!"

In Zhu Yunxi's ears, Tian Mai's shouts came.

Then, a familiar voice came into my ears.

"Good nephew! You can do it, let your uncle go back to Xi'an!"

"Uncle, I want to go home!"
