174. The prince of the Zhu family dug the corner of the wall

Daming is an era of three wives and four concubines, but he just has a lighter concept of a man marrying a wife, Kuang Yu is a person with one wife in the family, he asked this, and he also hoped that Cheng Yuan would be a perfect person.

The river under the boat was vast and fast, parting the wide water with waves, and the wind on the deck blew the robes of the two men.

Cheng Yuan said: "Kuang Yu, if you think that the master is perfect, I'm afraid you will be disappointed, because as long as you are a human being, you can't escape the seven emotions and six desires, and naturally there is no perfection." ”

The two of them stood on the boat like this, chatting with each other.

The boat stopped at the pier for a while on the way, and Cheng Yuan got off the boat and went to the Daming General Money Village to redeem the treasure money and silver tickets, and bought a few clothes.

I didn't even bring my clothes with me in a hurry, and in the past two days on the boat, my clothes will taste bad, and if I go north in half a month, I will become a stinky beggar in a swill bucket.

Half an hour later, the ship continued north.

…………

Early June.

After An Cheng didn't catch up with Cheng Yuan last time when she asked someone to send clothes to Cheng Yuan, she regretted that she shouldn't have had trouble with Cheng Yuan.

Since having a child, the whole heart has been placed on Cheng Yuan, and his emotions have also fluctuated, because he is pregnant, he is more cranky than before.

For a family, the man is very important, the backbone.

But in many cases, Ancheng could not perceive this importance, and it was only when he was gone that the feeling of loss and emptiness came over him.

Aunt Tang is very suitable to send fish soup, and she sends a bowl diligently every day.

The squire checked and checked, and found no problem with the fish soup, so he served it to Princess An Cheng to drink.

Today, Aunt Tang made it in the kitchen again, An Cheng said that he didn't want to drink it, and felt that it tasted, but Aunt Tang shook her head: "Your Highness, this recipe is very good, it just has some taste, drink it, I want to repay Your Highness for taking it in." ”

An Cheng couldn't bear to refuse the kindness of others, and drank it again.

As the sun set, Aunt Tang took the basket and said that she was going to pick fresh vegetables.

Walking to a crowded place, I disappeared into the street and turned into an alley.

Turn left and right, and come to an incense hall.

"Lord of incense."

"How? Can you gain trust? ”

"I've been trusted, just the owner of the incense, but what to do now?"

The man came out and said, "More than 100 members of the sect of Nanzhili have been arrested, and two babies and children have also been taken away, and the White Lotus Niangniang cannot be reincarnated.

It also gave the dog officer a taste of the loss of flesh and bones. Use his child to sacrifice the White Lotus Niangniang. ”

"Musk, curcuma, put a little less every day, add it to the meal, you can't taste it. At the latest, more than a month later, the fetus will be stillborn, and it will be realized later.

It is best to blame Cheng Yuan, the emperor's daughter was stillborn, but she ate what the horse sent, and the monarch and the ministers were disgusted.

Kill two birds with one stone, and you also have a chance to get out. ”

The man was pleased with his arrangement.

"That Yan Fan Zhu Di is ruthless, but his daughter is smart and kind, she has no bad intentions, and she is well protected by Cheng Yuan, I can't do it."

Aunt Tang hesitated.

"The White Lotus Sect will take revenge if it has revenge, control the dosage to a moderate amount, and let the dog official feel the pain."

"The dog official goes to Shandong, no one guards you, this month is a good opportunity for you to start, the dose of medicine is small, and it will not be detected."

"Yes, Lord Xiang, but he went to Shandong, didn't you kill him?"

"Killing him will only anger the court, no need."

"Yes."

Aunt Tang left with hatred in her heart.

……………………

Qingzhou Mansion.

The bright yellow flag flew over, Cheng Yuan looked out of the carriage from a distance, and Kuang Yu said: "Why are the people praising Your Majesty's goodness?" ”

Cheng Yuan looked around and said, "When the people were thirsty, I pointed out a well to the leader, and the leader asked these people to come and drink water, but the people only remembered the leader, not thanked me."

If the well water is toxic or empty, then I will be the one to blame,"

Looking at the dusty sky in the distance, the vegetables in the field are still there.

Cheng Yuan got out of the carriage and squatted on the side of the field and said: "Last year was a warm winter, there were one or two snows in various places, and the eggs were not frozen to death. ”

Zhu Bai rushed from the Qingzhou Mansion to greet him, and when he saw Cheng Yuan, he burst into tears with excitement, and the person he was looking forward to finally came.

"This king has been waiting for you for a long time."

This sentence, Cheng Yuan remembered a sketch, There is a sentence that wants to kill you.

Zhu Bai has been made by locusts and is about to collapse, but Zhu Ji, the king of Qi, is chic and happy in the mansion.

Cheng Yuan didn't say polite words, walked to the steps not far from the Qingzhou Mansion, picked up a duck egg from the dead wood and said, "Lord Wang, please give a bamboo basket to all the officials of the Mansion." ”

"Baskets?" Zhu Bai looked forward to the talent day and night and asked him to find a bamboo basket, and everyone went to pick vegetables together?

Ducks are this thing, laying eggs at will, this time Shandong put so many ducks, duck eggs are all in the river and dry grass.

"Lord Wang, let the soldiers in the guard go and pick up the duck eggs, and reward them to the people when the time comes." After Cheng Yuan finished speaking, he continued to let people pick up duck eggs.

Zhu Bai has been clothed and fed since he was a child, and he didn't know that ducks love to lay eggs everywhere, so he was very puzzled why he couldn't find duck eggs.

Cheng Yuan came, and the duck egg was found.

Seeing that the officials were carrying baskets everywhere to pick up duck eggs, Zhu Bai wanted to ask Cheng Yuan why he didn't distribute duck eggs to the people for free, and he also used a reward.

Cheng Yuan grabbed a jumping locust, looked at Zhu Bai and said: "The locusts are not serious now, but they should not be underestimated, it is not possible to rely on ducks and medicine to kill locusts, let the people catch locusts together."

Catch three buckets to reward one duck egg, and catch six buckets to reward two duck eggs. ”

Cheng Yuan knew that the Ming Empire had transported a lot of grain from the heart to the grain depots of various prefectures and counties, which were all reserved for the last life.

They still robbed it with the princes and nobles.

How to say it, since Cheng Yuan said that there were locusts in Shandong and Henan, the king of Qi, Zhu Ji, had privately hoarded Shandong's grain.

Zhu Ji is the seventh son of Zhu Yuanzhang, and his biological mother is Concubine Dading, who was named King of Qi and fiefdom Qingzhou Mansion. During the period of his inauguration, he also made a lot of military exploits, and was later deposed as a concubine because Emperor Jianwen cut the feudal domain and was imprisoned in Nanjing.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he restored Zhu Ji's throne and let him return to Qingzhou Mansion.

Knowing of the locust plague in Shandong in May and June, Zhu Di immediately ordered all prefectures to prepare grain for the people, and Qi Wangqi was the most active.

He actively rushed to buy food with the people.

Actively led the local gentry to buy all the grain in Qingzhou Mansion and other provinces, and hoarded it after purchase, planning to sell it at a high price in the future.

After Zhu Bai arrived here, he found that there was no food, so he could only hoard the grain sent by Chengyuan and the capital to the various yamen for disaster relief, and sweet potatoes and corn were also prepared.

This year, the people don't understand how to suddenly collect grain.

But when the plague of locusts came out, it was understood.

Except for Zhu Di and the common people, everyone is waiting for the locust plague to come, and they all have their own calculations in their hearts.

There was also grain in the treasury of Chengyuan's Guogong Mansion, corn was ventilated and hung, and sweet potatoes were made into sweet potato flour, which was packed in bags.

The officials in the capital also laughed at Cheng Yuan, who was stupid and didn't sell sweet potatoes, what can he do to make sweet potato flour, like a poor ghost who starved to death.

When Cheng Yuan told everyone that there was a locust plague in the north, Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng, and Zhang Yu also bought grain one after another.

When the north suffers from the disaster, the grain in the south will have to be transported, and it can be sold for money no matter what, or donate grain to the people when the time comes, so as to win favors in front of Zhu Di.

Zhu Bai said: "The ducks haven't been released yet, when will they be released, please give the king a word." Whatever is needed from this king, just say. ”

"Lord Wang, please go back to bathe now, and then trim your face and sleep, I heard the prefect of Qingzhou say that you haven't slept well for a long time, and then I will come."

Zhu Bai said: "This king can't sleep, Seventh Brother, he doesn't care about anything, and this king can also help to catch locusts, just ask for it." ”

"It's not responsible for it, but you and I have to be busy, alas, let's work together." Cheng Yuan said.

First of all, all the women and farmers from Jiangfu County were called, and they began to use small hole fishing nets to make nets and weave bamboo baskets, and hundreds of people rushed to make them overnight.

Cheng Yuan asked Kuang Yong to find a concentration of traditional Chinese medicine for insecticidal eggs, gathered the doctors in the city, and grinded a large amount of medicinal powder together.

The officials spread the word in the city that the people should not steal ducks to eat, which were used to protect against locusts.

If anyone is greedy and secretly eating, the whistleblower can report it, and the yamen will reward grain duck eggs.

Every day, thousands of ducks in the backyard of the yamen quacked so that Cheng Yuan couldn't sleep and was not clean, but there were also many duck eggs.

"It's a good idea to exchange duck eggs for locusts." Cheng Yuan had two black circles under his eyes, his boots stepped on duck feces, and said to Zhu Bai: "Take the locusts back and kill them all, and use them to ...... after drying."

"For food?" The official next to him said curiously.

Eat you big-headed ghost, do you want to die...... Cheng Yuan said: "The swarms of locusts cannot be eaten, but they can be made into dried insect powder, which can be used for fertilization together with farmhouse manure after decaying. ”

Cheng Yuan passed by the gate of King Qi's mansion several times, and when he came back, he wanted to scold, and when he saw this King Qi who was digging into the corner, he wanted to be an angry young man and scold.

What are all things, how can the old Zhu family have such a prince, buy low and sell high, do you want to dig the corner of the old Zhu family.

No wonder it is the prince who has been abolished twice in history, and he is a little grateful to Zhu Yunwen for this, and the guy Zhu Ji, the king of Qi, should be abolished.

What Zhu Ji does, is it done by people, as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, it doesn't matter if he is not for the people, and he is still thinking about making a fortune all day long.
