Chapter 191: Wu Palace Flowers and Plants
When it came to collecting money, Yang Xinlu was also depressed.
What a good opportunity this is, to buy the hearts of the people, and to brush up on the good feelings in front of the old emperor, but it was ruined by such a few pennies.
However, Yang Xinlu complained and complained, and when he saw that Lao Zhu's face was not good-looking, he hurriedly made up for his students.
"Your Majesty, don't blame you, in fact, Your Highness is also doing this out of kindness."
"Oh?"
Lao Zhu squinted at Yang Xinlu, and thought disdainfully, see what nonsense you can make up.
What kind of virtue do we have in that turtle grandson, can we count it in our hearts as grandfathers?
If we hadn't kept an eye on it, the paper in the palace would have been pulled out by the rebel grandson and sold for money!
"Let's listen to it, if it's not good, we have to beat that turtle grandson out of anger!"
Lao Zhu is now like a fish in his throat, and his heart is so depressed that he is dying.
It was originally a great good thing, which could not only show the bearing of the eldest grandson, but also highlight the royal pattern, which was completely destroyed by the greed for money of the rebel grandson.
As soon as Yang Xinlu heard the "editor", he knew that His Majesty the Emperor was really angry.
At this moment, he didn't even want to explain, he felt that it was good to let the three emperors and grandsons be beaten up, saving him from always being whimsical.
"Your Majesty, in fact, the money collected at the door, the three emperors and grandsons didn't ask for a penny, and it was used to shelter the widows and lonely people."
"What?"
Lao Zhu was slightly moved when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that the eldest grandson would have such benevolence.
"Let's talk about it in detail!"
"During the construction of Wu Wanggong, many nearby villagers came to pick up sundries, and some people fished for things in the swill to eat."
"The three emperors wept when they saw this, and then built a sanatorium next to the palace to house those who were old and frail and homeless."
"But the third emperor and grandson are afraid that this move will not last long, and once he goes to the fief in the future, the source of income of the almshouse will be cut off."
When Yang Xinlu said this, he secretly glanced at Lao Zhu's face, and saw a trace of anger flashing on Lao Zhu's face, so he hurriedly lowered his head and continued to make it up.
"So the third emperor and grandson asked Liu San to be responsible for collecting money at the door, and the money received was not a penny, and all the money was put into the nursing home."
Lao Zhu sighed secretly when he heard this.
"I can't imagine that our good grandson can still have such a good heart, but we underestimate him."
"We also did such a thing when we were in the sixth year of Hongwu, but it's hard to explain......"
After Lao Zhu ascended the throne, he implemented many measures to benefit the people, such as a nursing home for widows and lonely, and a leaky garden responsible for storing corpses.
But in the process of implementation, a lot of unpleasant things were born. The blame of the local government, the scoundrels making trouble, and some unfilial sons throwing their parents to the government, etc.
Therefore, it was abolished after a few years of implementation.
Only some prefectures and counties have a workhouse to house homeless people, who are given a few liters of rice a day to make ends meet.
"I'm just afraid of raising a group of idlers!"
Yang Xinlu smiled confidently when he heard this.
"Your Majesty really saw the pros and cons of this method at a glance. However, His Royal Highness the Third Emperor Sun also thought of this, and at the beginning of the establishment of the nursing home, it was clearly stipulated that the nursing home did not support idlers, no matter who it was, they must do what they could, otherwise they would be kicked out. Only those who are over 60 or who are truly incapable of working can receive support free of charge. ”
"Now all those who have hands and feet, and whose bodies can still move, are arranged to be in the palace to be responsible for sprinkling, pruning, flowers, plants, fruit trees, etc."
"For example, Liu San, whom His Majesty saw when he first entered the door, was made full use by the Three Emperors and Sun Ren because he only recognized death because his mind was not clear, and he was arranged to collect money at the door."
Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, and his face was excited, and his eyes also shone with excitement.
"Good!"
"Good people make the most of it!"
Yang Xinlu saw that His Majesty was happy, and hurriedly added another sentence.
"The Three Emperors and Grandsons said that there are no useless people in the world, only people who are misplaced."
"No matter what kind of person it is, there's a place for them."
Lao Zhu was even happier when he heard this, this is the emperor's way of employing people, I didn't expect him to teach it yet, and the rebel grandson actually had no teacher......
Lao Zhu just thought of this, and when he saw Yang Xinlu gushing on the side, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
It can't be said that he is self-taught, isn't this Jiangnan Confucian in front of him lobbying for the anti-grandson to lobby our emperor, and want us to set up the anti-grandson as the emperor's grandson, hahaha!
"Yang Aiqing doesn't need to make up for our rebel grandson, let's take us to enjoy the beautiful scenery of this place first."
"No!"
Yang Xinlu pointed to a mound in front of him.
"Your Majesty, this place is called the Jin Dynasty Clothing Crown, and its pavilion is surrounded by carved patterns of the past dynasties, so as to facilitate future generations to appreciate the changes since the Qin and Han dynasties."
Lao Zhu's expression became solemn when he heard this, and he walked to a stone tablet to admire.
"This is the crown of the Song Dynasty, right?"
"Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, and what is portrayed here is the clothing of the Song Dynasty."
"This is the ...... of the Qin Dynasty"
"This is the costume ...... of the Tang Dynasty"
Lao Zhu is like a child who has just discovered a new toy, and he has to touch each stone tablet a few times, and then guess the dynasty on it like a riddle.
"His Royal Highness the Three Emperors once said that through the evolution of clothing, you can see the rise and fall of the dynasty."
"The Qin and Han costumes are simple and practical. Therefore, there is the unity of Qin, and the Han is strong. ”
"The Jin Dynasty is the weakest in the Jin Dynasty, because it is not conducive to farming and marching and fighting."
When Lao Zhu heard this, he asked impatiently.
"What about our Daming!"
Yang Xinlu hurriedly explained.
"According to the Three Emperors, our Ming Dynasty is retro in form, but in fact it is simple."
"Retro is overkill and must be corrected, and simplicity is to maintain the enterprising spirit of the Ming Dynasty, so as not to fall prematurely into the hedonistic atmosphere of the Wei and Jin dynasties......"
Lao Zhu was overjoyed when he heard it.
"It's still a good grandson who understands us, hahaha!"
The two walked a distance and saw a flower garden, and Lao Zhu was very interested.
"What's the name of this place?"
"Back to Your Majesty, this place is called Wu Palace Flowers and Plants, which is not only a scene in the park, but also proves that this place is the palace of King Wu, and it is in line with the ancient poems, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone."
Lao Zhu secretly bowed his head when he heard this.
"Master Yang is attentive!"
Lao Zhu didn't even need to ask, this kind of naming work was definitely not done by his own turtle grandson, even if it was his name, he couldn't think of so many ways.
Lao Zhu followed Yang Xinlu to see a few more scenic spots, and suddenly asked.
"By the way, where is our Wu Wangxing's palace?"
"We've come so far that we haven't even seen the shadow of the palace!"
Yang Xinlu smiled and pointed ahead.
"It's still far away, you have to go around the woods in front of you and cross a rope bridge to see it."
"If your majesty is tired, you can go to the front and rest for a while. There is a teahouse and restaurant there for tourists to take a temporary rest. ”
"Okay!"
Lao Zhu is really a little tired, he rarely goes out in recent years, and even when he goes out, he doesn't take a car or a sedan chair.
Today, he has walked so far for the first time, but he is exhausted.
Yang Xinlu led Lao Zhu to the edge of the woods, and saw a banner with the word "tea" swaying in the wind.
Lao Zhu walked forward quickly, and just as he was about to enter the house to rest, he saw a pitch-black wooden sign hanging at the door, with two lines of large white characters written on it.
"A bowl of tea!"
"A bowl of sweet water!"
Lao Zhu was not happy on the spot when he saw this scene, and pointed to the sign and reprimanded.
"Profiteers!"
"What kind of tea dares to sell for three pennies a bowl, the steamed buns on the street are only one penny, and he dares to sell a bowl of tea for three pennies?"
When the guy in the store heard this, he hurried out to check, and when he saw that there were many sergeants gathered outside, the guy was obviously frightened and took two steps back. However, when he saw the familiar Jinyiwei, he immediately became a little bolder.
I secretly said in my heart that this is a place covered by His Royal Highness King Wu, who dares to come here to spread wilderness?
"This old gentleman, you are wrong!"
"The things we have here are a little more expensive, but there is a reason why they are expensive!"
"Look!"
The shopkeeper said as he turned the sign around and asked Lao Zhu to read the words on the other side of the sign.
Lao Zhu looked at the sign again, only to see a few more lines of words on the sign.
"The ancient recipe of the Imperial Palace, rock sugar pear, clear the lungs and moisten the throat, His Majesty the Emperor said it was good after drinking it!"
The shopkeeper smirked.
"Old man, do you still think it's expensive this time?"
"Ten pennies can drink a bowl of palace medicinal food, where can I find such a good thing!"
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the sign and asked angrily.
"There's nothing hidden this time, is it?"
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
After Yang Xinlu said this, he lowered his head in shame, and he couldn't say a word of justification.
I thought you could beat it up if you like, I couldn't make it up anyway.
The three emperors and grandsons are really, thinking about making money everywhere, it's really embarrassing......
Hao Wenjie, the head of the Tai Hospital, rushed out to receive him when he heard that there was a guest coming with a towel around his neck. But as soon as he saw Lao Zhu standing at the door, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, when did you come......"
"Humph!"
Lao Zhu snorted coldly.
"We're thirsty, give us a whole cup of tea!"
"Hey!"
Hao Wenjie immediately ordered someone to bring up all the drinks in the store, and soon the table was full of iced sour plum soup, rock sugar pear water, Longjing tea and other drinks.
Erhu hurriedly picked up a bowl to test the poison for Lao Zhu, and Lao Zhu pushed it aside with a disgusted face.
"Don't try, Hao Wenjie, this kid can still be trusted!"
When Hao Wenjie heard this, he was moved in his heart, kneeling at Lao Zhu's feet was crying bitterly.
"Your Majesty Weichen Xie trusts, woo woo woo ......"
Lao Zhu took a sip of some rock sugar pears, and found that it was indeed the same as the flavor in the palace, so he immediately asked.
"Tell us about it, is it because our hospital can't support you, or what's the situation, you are too dignified to open a tea stall here?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen was also invited by the Three Emperors and Suns, saying that he could make money here, so he came to partner with the Three Emperors and Suns......"
"How do you divide the accounts?"
"The emperor and grandson are out of the venue, the Tai Hospital is out of the prescription, out of the people, and then the two families are divided into five or five ......"
"But Weichen didn't take any of this money, and he planned to give rent subsidies to the young doctors of the Tai Hospital......
Lao Zhu pointed to the restaurant next to him and asked.
"If we guess correctly, the restaurant next door to you is the imperial dining room and opened with that grandson, right?"
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they saw a white and chubby little old man running out of the restaurant next door, this person was none other than Xu Xingzu in the imperial dining room!
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"
"Lao Xu, get out of here!"
"Oops!"
Xu Xingzu tied an apron and put a thin towel around his neck, and ran over to give Lao Zhu a salute.
"The old slave greets the emperor!"
