"Mr. Qin told us that when those court officials are no longer so high-minded, and the people think that they and the people are almost nothing great, it is when the world is peaceful."

"When the people of the world see a small official, they are afraid and think that he can't be provoked, which proves that the problem of the court is very big."

"Now you look at Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, these first-class officials, they have all taken off their official hats and official mansions, and they are washing potatoes like all of you, what else do you have to be afraid of?"

When the people heard this, they had the courage to come and help.

But he still looks like he is walking on thin ice and cowering.

"Be bold, don't be so timid." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "A happy life sometimes depends on yourself. If you are too timid, you will only be bullied more by others. ”

"Just imagine, if we hadn't stood up for righteousness, there would be no Ming Dynasty today, and there would be no Han family."

"Your Majesty." A citizen said.

"Therefore, once you are oppressed, you must boldly stand up and report him and expose him." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Whether the Ming Dynasty can be stable depends not only on the emperor and these civil and military ministers, but also on you ordinary people. ”

"You are also the masters of the Ming Dynasty, and you are also a part of the Ming Dynasty."

"You can help us supervise the officials and prevent them from cheating. And with us, and with the civil and military officials, to protect their homes and happy lives. Make a little effort for the big tomorrow, even if it's small. ”

"Grass people, obey!" When the people heard this, they said.

"Erhu, prepare some tools for the people, so that they can work beside us." Zhu Yuanzhang ordered.

"Yes."

So a group of people came to Emperor Zhu's side one after another, and they had the courage to wash potatoes with the emperor and the empress.

"If you speak out for the injustice of the world, and the court and officials don't deal with it, it means that the court has not done a good job, and the court should rectify it immediately. But if you know something unjust and you don't dare to say it, then you are encouraging their unhealthy tendencies. Zhu Yuanzhang continued to say to the people, "Don't be afraid of us, we are just working for the benefit of the people of the world." ”

"The rumors you heard before about Emperor Zhu's murderous people were all spread by those corrupt officials. The more they preach like this, the more it proves the cowardice of their hearts. ”

"Those who speak ill of us behind our backs are not good people. Because we have violated their interests, because we have made them unable to reap benefits for themselves, and they cannot fish the people. ”

"The emperor is right!" When the people heard this, they said, "The more they scold the emperor, the more they are afraid of the emperor." ”

"The more corrupt officials are afraid of the emperor, the better the people's lives will be!"

"Whoever is famous all over the world must slander all over the world."

"The emperor who no one scolds, but not the emperor of the Holy Ming."

"Because the emperor who no one scolds, it proves that he has not violated the interests of corrupt officials and corrupt officials. If you can't offend corrupt officials and corrupt officials, then you can only abuse the people. Only by abusing the people, there is no scolding, because the people dare not scold at all. ”

"Even if you are scolded, you can quickly suppress it."

"What you said is very reasonable, and it is also very learned." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Look, among the people of the Ming Dynasty, there is no shortage of people of insight. Mr. Qin has long said that there is never a shortage of talents in the world. ”

"Among you, you can find 'Han Xin' and 'Xiao He' casually."

"Huh." When the people heard this, they all laughed.

"There are a lot of people in the world who scold the emperor for killing people, but in fact, your Emperor Zhu is good to you." When Queen Ma heard this, she also said amiably to the people around her, "Think about it, was he just like you a few years ago, he was also a mud legged?" ”

"He is your own man, and if he is not good to you, who will be good to you?"

"The queen is absolutely right." The people said.

"When our family encountered a famine, the whole family was dying, and I worked as a beggar for several years. Suffering from the old wealth of landlords and corrupt officials, he also knows the difficulties of the life of the Li people. Zhu Yuanzhang said, "So we have a personal experience of the lives of the people, and we have a painful experience of the scourge of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and we always remember that our roots are among you." ”

"So only we can truly work for the well-being of you people."

"If you don't even trust us, then there is no emperor to trust. If you don't trust an emperor who came up from a beggar, do you want to trust an emperor who has been dressed and eaten since he was a child, has not suffered anything, and has come out of the family gate? ”

"We all believe in Your Majesty!"

"The emperor is the first genuine peasant emperor in ancient times, and he is our own people. The other emperors are all aristocratic emperors, people from the family, we don't believe in Your Majesty, who else can you trust? ”

"The emperor's background is even worse than ours, his family background is much worse than ours, and he has been a beggar. Now he has become the emperor, the honor of the Ninety-Five, the king of the world, amazing, it's amazing! ”

"The emperor can think about what the people think and be anxious about what the people are anxious about. What a good emperor of the first saint throughout the ages! ”

"Those who scold the emperor for killing innocents indiscriminately behind their backs, let's just treat them as farts."

"Heaven has made a peasant like Your Majesty the emperor, which is a blessing for the people of the world."

"The world is based on agriculture, and it is orthodox for farmers to be emperors."

When the people heard this, they said.

An hour later, more than 1,000 catties of potatoes were finally washed and cut.

On the ground at the entrance to the palace, there was a patch of dirt and sewage.

The second tiger took the brocade guards and stepped forward to clean the ground.

"Liu Bowen." Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and shouted. When he was working, he was still a mud-legged peasant, but the moment he stood up, he instantly regained the boundless domineering spirit of the emperor, the majesty of decisiveness, and the eloquence of the Quartet.

"The minister is here!" Liu Bowen was wearing a white underwear, and before he had time to change into his official uniform, he immediately stepped forward and received his will.

"Divide these potatoes into fifteen portions and send people to send them to various provinces in Daming urgently." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "I instruct the provincial political envoys to find a place to plant the first crop, and after the first harvest is made, continue to use it as seeds and distribute them to more people." ”

"Strive to plant potatoes in all places in Daming within a year."

"Minister, obey!" Liu Bowen said.

……

A few days later.

The Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty, according to the secret report of Jiangxi Jinyi Wei, Song Chuyu, the political envoy of Jiangxi, greedily bought ten catties of potato seeds." Erhu walked in and reported, "He told his family that he had never seen such a thing as potatoes, and the emperor had eaten the queen, but he had not eaten it." As a member of the party, he should also try it, so he hid it from everyone and secretly hid ten catties for his family to eat. ”

"That night, he asked the cook to make sour and hot shredded potatoes, and the family had a great time."
