"Hmph, I've never seen someone so thick-skinned." Gao Fei bit the chicken leg fiercely, as if he was biting Zhu Yuanzhang.

Lao Zhu glared at him without showing weakness: "We haven't seen anyone who can still ask for a gift if he gives a gift." ”

As he spoke, he also took a bite of the chicken leg.

When the queen saw the two of them, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Gao Fei didn't know that the person in front of him was born as a beggar, and there was no lower limit or anything.

But Goofy isn't a cheeky person either.

After discovering that Lao Zhu wanted to swallow the pheasant alone, he went directly to knock on the door unceremoniously.

In the end, Lao Zhu could only let Queen Ma burn the pheasant, and then everyone ate it together.

Of course, Lao Zhu is not really bad at this pheasant.

Although among all the emperors in history, Lao Zhu is already quite frugal.

But no matter what, after all, he is also the emperor.

When it comes to some formal occasions, Lao Zhu will certainly not be stingy.

What delicacies from the mountains and seas, what should be prepared will still be prepared.

He just didn't feel happy when he looked at Gao Fei's hanging appearance, so he deliberately cheated the other party like this.

Hearing Queen Ma's laughter, Gao Fei immediately said bitterly: "I don't understand, sister-in-law, a fairy-like character, how did she fall in love with you?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his chin proudly: "Of course, it's because we look talented." ”

Gao Fei immediately made a retching look: "Old Chang, don't you feel weak when you say this?" ”

said that it was worth holding his chest high and said: "I am so handsome and chic, I don't dare to say that I am talented, and I am always you?" ”

"I don't think you heard, you're bragging." Zhu Yuanzhang picked up his wine glass and gently touched a glass with Gao Fei.

It's a rice wine, but it's obviously made very badly.

You can even clearly see the sake lees inside, and the taste can only be said to be barely palatable.

But Lao Zhu was quite happy to drink.

In addition to drinking with Zhu Han, Lao Zhu really didn't feel so relaxed when he drank with others.

At least after becoming emperor, these are the few times I can remember.

After all, Goofy doesn't know his true identity, and this kid's personality is also good, although it looks a little jumpy, but it has a true temperament, which is not offensive.

Gao Fei pretended to be satisfied and nodded: "Yes, Lao Chang, under my guidance, you finally have a little bit of a look, and you know what you can and can't say in front of Shangguan." ”

"Keep up the good work, maybe one day you can sit in my place."

Although he knew that Gao Fei was joking, Dean Du was still very speechless.

Dignified emperor, do you want to be a nine-grade official?

After eating and drinking, Goofy went back to rest, although he was young and strong, but after a busy day, he was actually exhausted.

It's just that I know that Zhu Yuanzhang has just arrived, and I am afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang will not adapt to the environment here, so I specially invited Zhu Yuanzhang to eat this meal.

After Gao Fei left, Queen Ma smiled softly and said, "It's a good young man." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang retorted angrily: "What's good, what's good, there's no one on the mouth, it's frizzy, and you can't afford anything at all?" ”

Queen Ma smiled and said nothing, the more Zhu Yuanzhang said this, the more it showed that he admired Gao Fei.

In the face of the people he hated, Lao Zhu was too lazy to say a word.

Now Lao Zhu's temper has changed a lot, and he may have started to curse before.

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang settled down in the yamen of the reception department.

Just staying here for a day, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but worry.

The worried look, Queen Ma could see it for the first time, and asked with concern: "Did something happen?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "On this day, I am afraid that there are more than 400 people who rushed over. ”

"And that's just the case at this level."

"According to Gao Fei's kid, there are at least seven such checkpoints around Datong Mansion City."

"That is to say, there are at least two or three thousand people who flee to Datong Mansion every day."

"The drought has been going on for so long, and the number of people fleeing should have decreased a lot."

"After such a long time, how many people have to flee to Datong Mansion City?"

"With so many people, not to mention anything else, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to supply food alone."

When Queen Ma heard this, her expression also became serious.

However, he was still patient, and comforted softly: "Chongba, you don't have to worry too much." ”

"After all, there are seven or five here, don't you know his ability?"

"Now Datong Mansion looks very calm, so it can be seen that there must be no problem with the food, otherwise, the people would have been in chaos a long time ago."

"I believe that Qiwu, he will definitely be able to handle this side of the matter."

Zhu Yuanzhang really shook his head: "Sister, you don't understand." ”

"If it's really just about fleeing people, of course there won't be any problems with the Seventh Five-Year Plan."

"But I don't even believe in his ability, so who else can I trust?"

"But what I'm worried about is that someone will take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, and since ancient times, natural disasters will have human disasters."

"And you also know Qiwu's temper, sometimes it's too kind."

"Just like the incident in Yanjing City before, everyone has already assassinated him on the street, which is no different from rebellion."

"If it were to be replaced by us, as long as it was related to this matter, no one would be spared. If you don't cut the grass and don't eradicate the roots, there will be endless troubles! ”

"But do you know how Seven Five does it?"

"Basically, only the evil leaders were executed, and they were not killed in the name of rebellion, but according to the crime, and many people who participated in demonization even escaped the scourge of killing because of this."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt very unhappy.

If it weren't for the dust having settled, many people would have even directly pronounced a verdict, killing those who should be killed, and exiled those who should be exiled.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, and then washed the entire Yanjing City in blood.

Has he been too good-tempered over the years? Some people think that he Zhu Yuanzhang is weak and deceitful, and even his younger brother dares to murder him.

The reason why Lao Zhu didn't go on a killing spree, the most important thing is that Zhu Han wrote secret letters to Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly.

asked Lao Zhu not to implicate too widely, so Lao Zhu didn't do it.

The situation on Datong's side is much more complicated than Yanjing.

The reason why Lao Zhu was able to take advantage of the situation to make a fortune at the beginning was also because of natural and man-made disasters during the reign of Meng Yuan.

The dissatisfaction of the people of the world with Mengyuan has accumulated to a limit.

Therefore, Lao Zhu is very sensitive to natural and man-made disasters.

There are some words, even Queen Ma didn't dare to say too much, but she kept comforting Zhu Yuanzhang: "Don't worry, the Seventh Five-Year Plan will definitely be able to handle it." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Queen Ma was comforting herself, but at this time, it was useless for him to be in a hurry.

Unless he reveals his identity directly and goes to see Zhu Han in person.

However, with Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding of his younger brother, even if he said it himself, it would be useless, Zhu Han must be what to do or how to do it?

For the sake of today, we can only look at the situation first.

The only thing that reassures Zhu Yuanzhang is that the atmosphere here in Datong is relatively quiet.

even made Zhu Yuanzhang a little suspicious, is there really no ambitious person taking advantage of natural disasters to make trouble?

This is absolutely impossible.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately denied his idea, and Lao Zhu has a deeper understanding of human nature than anyone else.

He can be 100% sure that there will definitely be people who take advantage of natural and man-made disasters to cause high winds and rains.

Under normal circumstances, in the early stage of a disaster, whether it is the imperial court or those with ulterior motives, it takes a certain amount of time to react.

During the disaster relief period, the imperial court could not cover everything, and there would always be some omissions.

At times like these, the victims who have gone through many hardships are often the most likely to be instigated.

It is also the best time for those with ulterior motives to make a move.

And by this time, there should have been some people who have already started to act.

But Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that Datong seemed to be relatively calm.

It's just that the calmer he is, the more worried Lao Zhu becomes.

I always feel that there is something I haven't considered.

The so-called accounts of the reception department are nothing to Lao Zhu at all.

As long as he spends half an hour a day, he can handle the accounts that Gao Fei takes several hours to understand.

Goofy is not the kind of person who finds faults, and he has never put on any official shows.

As long as Zhu Yuanzhang can account for the accounts clearly, what will he do at other times? Goofy never cares, and basically doesn't ask.

I stayed honestly in the Yamen for two or three days, after getting acquainted with Goofy's character.

Zhu Yuanzhang was no longer honest and continued to stay in the yamen.

After settling the accounts, he began to wander around Datong Mansion.

When he first entered Datong Mansion, Zhu Yuanzhang was even a little surprised.

At first glance, it doesn't look like a place that has been hit by a drought at all.

Of course, if you look closely, you can still see some clues.

The people were emaciated, and they didn't look like they could eat enough.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang can also understand that in this case, it is already difficult to ensure that no one starves to death.

It's simply impossible to keep everyone fed.

At least in Datong Mansion, you won't see people starving to death everywhere.

Not only does it not have the post-catastrophe desolation, but it looks very lively.

What surprised Zhu Yuanzhang the most was that there were almost all grain shops here.

If you look for a random street, you can see at least seven or eight grain stores.

Moreover, the guys of these grain shops were all very enthusiastic to greet the people outside to buy grain.

"This master, the new food in our store, you can take a look."

"The father of the shopkeeper of the store is 70 years old today, so the food in the store is all 10% off, and the old folks have come to see it!"

This voice is extremely loud, and it can be heard far and wide at once, and it is difficult to even think about it.

At this time, the guy from a grain shop next to him was puzzled: "Your shopkeeper's father, didn't he just celebrate his seventieth birthday half a month ago?" Why is it another 70th birthday? ”

"Ah, this...... It's the wrong day for our shopkeeper. ”

"Can you remember my father's seventieth birthday?" The guy from the other grain shop sneered contemptuously.

"You still have the face to talk about me? Your shopkeeper has kissed him twelve times last month, and I don't know if his body can stand it. ”

However, after a few ridicules to each other, they continued to desperately sell their own food.

Zhu Yuanzhang understood that these people were actually changing the price reduction, so that they could sell their grain as soon as possible.

However, even if the price is reduced, the price of this grain is already sky-high in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion.

"Hmph, these unconscionable profiteers." Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sneer.

As a result, as soon as Lao Zhu's words fell, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"Chang, this is what you don't understand."

If you can call him that, you don't need to ask to know, it must be Goofy.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head to look, and he really didn't guess wrong: "You don't go to the checkpoint to be on duty, how can you have time to enter the city?" ”

"Didn't I say that you are always old, you have been with me for so long, why are you still dead-headed?"

"What Shangguan came out to do, whether it was reasonable or not, you should not have seen it. Otherwise, people will definitely wear small shoes, do you know? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately put on a righteous and righteous appearance: "We believe that my lord, he is a good official who is honest and honest, and he will definitely not give us small shoes because of the truth we said, right?" ”

This sycophant was obviously very comfortable, and Gao Fei narrowed his eyes with satisfaction and said, "It's about the same, it's not in vain for my careful teaching." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang began to roll his eyes again, I heard when did you teach us.

Wrong......

We are a dignified emperor, can we use you, a small official who is not in the stream, to teach?

Lao Zhu quietly changed the topic, and asked knowingly: "My lord, you should tell me, what is the problem with what we just said?" ”

Of course, he understands the reason why the two prices are so high, but he understands that Lao Zhu will of course be unhappy when he sees these people selling grain at such a high price.

It's just that he understands that it's normal, and a ranger like Goofy has such a vision?

Gao Fei smiled, as if he was talking about some big secret, and lowered his voice: "The reason why the price of food here in our Datong Mansion is so high is because of the price set by His Royal Highness himself. ”

"If those grain stores dare to sell at a low price, they will come to their door."

This is the first time Zhu Yuanzhang has heard of this.

Suddenly surprised: "The price of this grain is too low, and it can't even be done?" ”

"We've only heard that the people with high quantity and price can't afford it, and the government will take care of it."

"But if the quantity and price are low, isn't it a great thing for the people, and the government even cares about this."

Goofy explained earnestly: "That's what you don't understand, Lao Chang. ”

"I said before, you will definitely not be able to do business, and in the future, you will honestly make an account under me, it will definitely be much more promising than you going to business."

After discovering Zhu Yuanzhang's lack of ability, Gao Fei persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang to stay in the yamen to help him more than once.

In this regard, of course, Zhu Yuanzhang prevaricated with a smile every time.

The more so, the more relentless Gao Fei persuaded him. (End of chapter)
