Volume 3 Chapter 309 Turning Hands into Clouds, Turning Hands into Rain.
Some people rejoice, some people are sad.
When Li Chengqian moved to Daming Palace, it also indicated that late autumn had gone and early winter had arrived.
The heavy snow flying in the sky was like a sharp sword with a flickering cold light, piercing people's hearts.
Years of snow disasters have made them daunted.
No one can guarantee what God will do to them this winter.
Is it benevolent, or malicious?
It's all in God's whim.
They don't know how much preparation Li Chengqian has made to meet this unknown winter, and they don't know how much effort the entire Ming Dynasty has made for this unknown winter.
That's the case with the little guys.
Worried because they don't know what the people in power have to do.
Is it their fault?
No, never.
Their uneasiness is just a source of confusion and fear for the future, and it is the same for everyone.
It's like if your fate can't be in your own hands, who isn't confused?
Therefore, when the first snowflakes fell, everyone flocked to the Changming grain store, and only enough food was their greatest sense of security.
Their sense of security is so unpretentious.
For a while, even if it was Sun Moon Mountain, some people were panicked.
This is Li Chengqian's base camp, and it is also his basic plate, and Sun Moon Mountain is still like this, let alone other places?
O people's hearts! It is the hardest armor of a country, and at the same time the weakest weakness.
In this regard, even Li Chengqian was very helpless, in the final analysis, the establishment of the Ming Dynasty was too short.
Although the common people are willing to trust him, trust and survival are not in conflict.
Therefore, on the day Li Chengqian entered the Daming Palace, he arranged for Liu San and Yu Chi Baolin to lead people to cut down the rows of towering trees facing the palace wall of the Daming Palace.
But Li Chengqian didn't care, and at the same time he ordered Chunhua that from today on, the lights in the palace will be on day and night.
He was a little person in his later life, and he could understand the thoughts of small people.
Now, all he can do is let everyone see that their king is still there!
After doing this, he summoned all the officials in the Sun Moon Mountain to discuss the affairs of the Heroes Hall tomorrow.
This is also the first early dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.
Outside the palace walls, Changming Restaurant.
Li Xiaogong, who had resigned from Li Chengqian, was drinking with Niu Jinda in the restaurant at this time.
After Niu Jinda was dismissed on the spot, he lived directly in Changming Restaurant, this is his attitude, of course, this is also for Li Chengqian.
After all, if he is dismissed, he is no longer an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and he can naturally stay in Sun Moon Mountain.
"This heavy snow has allowed the old man to see a real Ming court." Li Xiaogong took a sip of wine and said.
Niu Jinda smiled and said, "It's the same everywhere, when we fought the world, weren't the common people the same?" As he spoke, Niu Jinda seemed to remember something, shook his head, and sighed, "Hey, at that time, the old man saw the scene of starvation all over the ground with his own eyes, it was like a picture of purgatory on earth, and I still dare not forget it."
Speaking of this, Niu Jinda sighed.
….
The way of this world is not to let people live.
Li Xiaogong also seemed to remember some of the past, and said after a long time: "If there is still a snow disaster like in previous years this year, I am afraid that His Highness's life will not be easy."
"That's right." Niu Jinda said, "Although the people's requirements are low, no matter how low they are, they can't be lower than their lives, and I don't know if His Highness is prepared."
Saying that, Niu Jinda became worried.
Li Xiaogong shook his head, how did he know this, and after a while, he asked, "Those people are in the restaurant?"
"Hmm." Niu Jinda nodded, "But because of the eldest princess's words last time, now they are very low-key and in-depth and simple
What should you be waiting for?"
Those people naturally referred to Pei Mo and his party.
The reason why Niu Jinda must stay is also due to their factors.
"You're the only one here, so be careful." Li Xiaogong said, "These guys, don't say anything else, they definitely have more thoughts than you, don't follow their ways."
Niu Jinda smiled and said nothing, do you think I'm the only one?
It's just that this kind of thing can be tacitly stated, but it can't be said in words.
As an emperor, even if it is his own son, Li Er will inevitably keep a hand, there is nothing to say.
When the two shook their heads in the restaurant and were silent, there was still an endless stream of people buying food on the street.
Among these people, there are very few people who started with Li Chengqian, and most of them came from the three camps of the predecessor of Deyang City.
From this, we can also see the problems existing in the Ming court.
And in the afternoon, as Liu San and Wei Chi Jingde led people to cut down the rows of big trees facing the palace wall of Daming Palace, the entire Daming Palace gradually appeared in front of everyone.
Because the Daming Palace itself is higher, as long as you are on the street in this city, you can almost see that beautiful palace.
I have to say that on a snowy afternoon, it is still extremely shocking to see a palace that is definitely magnificent for the common people.
However, it was only a shock.
After nightfall, the Daming Palace is still brightly lit.
Even Li Xiaogong couldn't understand what happened to Li Chengqian.
After all, maintaining such a palace with bright lights is definitely extremely extravagant.
Even he doesn't understand, and the common people don't understand it.
But they still didn't care.
Wang, isn't it normal to live better and use more?
But until late at night, the Daming Palace was still brightly lit, and even under the candlelight, you could see people constantly going in and out.
Even the next day, when the sky was bright, some early risers still saw that the Daming Palace was brightly lit, which made everyone a little curious.
Is it so extravagant?
But at this moment, someone found that countless officials were already waiting outside the palace gate, which seemed to be something.
After a short time, the palace gate was opened, and the officials who were still waiting outside the palace gate entered the palace one after another.
Although it was the first court meeting of the Ming Dynasty, it was not as rigorous as the Tang Dynasty.
To be precise, Daming can't do as many rules as Datang.
Soon, everyone entered the Hall of Heroes in order according to their official positions.
….
The civil officials are headed by Pu Xiruo, and the military generals are respected by Qi Bi He Li.
Not to mention, there are quite a few people.
After all, it was the first court meeting, and Li Chengqian summoned all the officials in Riyue Mountain, even the blacksmith Fang, Zhang Erniu, and Chao Zheng, who were among them.
Everyone was nervous and excited at the same time.
If you want to say that the most stable thing has to be Qi Bi He Li.
After all, people were also born as Khans before, and this scene is still stable, but the others are far behind.
But no matter what kind of mood they are in, pride is indispensable.
What does the Hall of Heroes mean, everyone understands, who doesn't know what it means to be able to enter the hall to discuss matters? Therefore, all of them were filled with some proud looks.
In the Hall of Heroes, Li Chengqian sat firmly on the throne above the ninth order, and his mood was indescribable.
Although it has been so long, this is the first time he has sat on the so-called throne.
This is the first time to be a human being in two lives.
Watching everyone enter the hall one after another, even though they have rehearsed in their hearts, it is inevitable that there will be some foreign appearances at this time.
Li Chengqian doesn't care, it's normal, everyone is a bun, don't ask for so much.
After everyone was standing in their positions, Pu Xiru took the lead
He shouted, "See Your Highness."
The layout of the Qunying Hall is roughly the same as that of the Taiji Palace, the biggest difference is that the Taiji Hall prepares all futons, while the Qunying Hall is full of chairs, which is quite a bit of the meaning of the Juyi Hall in the Water Margin.
"Look." Li Chengqian said, "Today is the first court meeting of my Ming Dynasty, and this king is honored to have you all here."
This is an encouragement.
The Ming court has not yet produced an official who has bent the law for bribes, which is what Li Chengqian is most fortunate about.
But this is normal, generally speaking, when the previous dynasties founded the country, there were few such people, after all, the pursuit is still there, the goal is still there, they still remember why they followed Li Chengqian step by step to today.
But over time, such people will definitely appear, this is inevitable.
There is a good word, but it is difficult to fill the desire.
After everyone was seated, Li Chengqian said, "Today's court meeting only discussed two things.
Let's start with the first thing, winter.
This is the top priority, but also the top priority, no one knows what this winter will eventually develop into, but because of the snow disaster for many years, the people are afraid, as the so-called snake bite for ten years afraid of the well rope, this is beyond reproach.
What the imperial court has to do is to ensure that the common people survive this cold winter, regardless of whether there will be a snow disaster as in previous years, this winter, this king hopes that none of the people under our rule will die of hunger and cold.
Presumably you also saw it yesterday, when the first snowflakes landed, the people of Sun Moon Mountain flocked to the Daming grain store, this is still Sun Moon Mountain, what will the other cities be?"
"Back to Your Highness." Pu Xiruo stood up and saluted and said, "Now the food of my Ming royal court will be no problem until the beginning of spring next year, and I will not worry about it for the time being."
Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "It's not that you say enough, you know, but the people don't know, they don't know, they will panic, panic about the shortage of food, panic about the price of food skyrocketing, so they will continue to hoard food."
….
Food is their last sense of security."
That's right, and everyone nodded in unison.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian said: "The household department listens to the order, from now on, the Changming grain shop in the fifteen cities of the Ming Dynasty must be filled with 1,000 stone of grain in the grain shop every day, and if the grain can't be put down, it must be filled with this king outside.
At the same time, it is not allowed to limit the sale, as long as it is a citizen of my Ming court, he can get the money, he is allowed to buy, and he must not make things difficult.
We just want to let the people see that the Ming Dynasty has abundant food.
The military department sent at least 500 soldiers to each grain store to guard it, and gave priority to the dispatch of nearby troops.
The secret spy department is secretly and strictly investigating those who wantonly stockpile grain, and those who store more than their rations will be 30% in the spring of the next year."
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Pu Xiruo, Qi Bi He Li and Wu An all got up and said, "Take the order."
After the grain matter was dealt with, Li Chengqian looked at Blacksmith Fang and Zhang Erniu again and asked, "Now, how much will be returned to the air furnace for the prison stockpile?" How much can you produce per day?"
The production of the return furnace is divided into two parts, the blacksmiths are responsible for the iron processing, and Zhang Erniu is responsible for the rest.
If you really want to talk about it, now there are 1,000 people in each of the two workshops engaged in the production of return air furnaces, which adds up to more than 2,000 people, which is not a small scale.
"Back to Your Highness, now the return furnace has five thousand stocks, and it can produce two hundred to three hundred per day, and most importantly, we don't have much iron." Zhang Erniu stood up and said.
Li Chengqian shook his head, the inventory is not enough, the output is not high, and the iron material has bottomed out, so it's troublesome.
"Li Shilang." Li Chengqian said, "You arranged for Changming to start selling the furnace back to the outside world, and the price could be slightly higher. By the way, the Ministry of Industry, how is the output of coal?"
As for the current accumulation, he didn't ask, it must not be much.
After Li Qinjian received the order, Yi Yuan Xicai stood up and said, "Back to Your Highness, the daily output of coal is about 100 stones."
Hundred Stone ......
This output is actually not low in this era, but Li Chengqian is still
Dissatisfied.
It's a consumable!
According to the daily consumption of ten catties of coal for every ten people, the daily consumption is 3,000 stones, which is beyond their means!
"We also need to invest more in coal mines." Li Chengqian said, "On the premise of ensuring safety, we can mine as much as possible, and now we can only use it with other fuels."
The so-called other fuels are cow dung and wood, cow dung is considered hopeless, these years after the snowstorm, the cattle are almost dead, the cattle are gone, where is the cow dung.
"Wechen takes orders." Ihara said.
Li Chengqian looked at Puxiru again and asked, "By the way, how many gloves and cloaks are in stock?"
"Back to Your Highness, there are already 200,000 pairs of gloves in stock, plus more than 1,000 pairs per day, which is enough for the time being.
As for the cloaks, the current stock is only 50,000, and the production is far from comparable."
Li Chengqian nodded: "Let the Changming business be sold, and at the same time, open Changming branches in various cities, even if the common people can't afford these things for the time being, but let them see the hope that they can afford it."
"Your Highness, don't worry, the price has been set, and there will be no problem." Pusiro said.
….
He didn't do it for nothing during this time, and he really knew everything about the affairs of Sun Moon Mountain.
"General Chebi." Li Chengqian said, "Now that Dohe County is in chaos, the border must not be lost at this time, whether it is north or south, it is the same, especially in the north, add 5,000 troops to Zhenbei Mansion in case of emergency."
"The last general commands."
Everyone knows this, but there is nothing to say.
Li Chengqian exhaled and said, "There must be more than these things in the cold and harsh winter, take your time first, don't be in a hurry. By the way, these materials are only sold to the common people of the Ming Dynasty."
This is the most important thing, don't Li Qinjian be happy to sell it, when the time comes, it will all be sold to other places, then it is estimated that Li Chengqian has the intention of killing people.
Speaking of this, Li Chengqian looked at Chao Zheng again and continued: "Chao Yizheng, your medical hall must also be prepared at any time, and in winter, if you are sick a lot, you must also have countermeasures."
"Your Highness, don't worry, now that Daoist Sun is here, even some incurable diseases are fine." Chaozheng immediately stood up.
In this regard, Li Chengqian agrees very much, and Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, does not need to say much.
"Alright, let's talk about the second thing." Li Chengqian continued, "Everyone also knows that the fifteen cities of the Ming Dynasty have been basically completed now, but few people from the various tribes on the grassland have entered the city.
On this occasion, the king wanted to place all of them in the cities.
For example, in the Lou Ning Division, all his clansmen were arranged to Chishui City.
The first part of the Qiu clan is placed in the six cities of the grassland......
Li Chengqian talked about this content for a long time, and its purpose was only one, staggered arrangements.
To put it simply, whoever governs where his people can't be in this place, and in the future, their people can't be in this place.
The reason is that they are worried that these guys will become sitting tigers, and their power will become bigger and bigger, and they will eventually become the soil emperor of a certain city.
This is not what Li Chengqian wants to see.
Except, of course, for the military.
There's no way around it, especially the guards of the six border cities, let them bring a group of strange soldiers and horses, and they still fart when the enemy attacks?
For this, everyone has no opinion.
This is the most important thing a king should do in order to secure his royal power.
After more than an hour of deliberation at the court meeting, the two things were basically finalized, and Li Chengqian said: "Gao Chunxing, write a notice, the content is about the arrangements to resist the cold winter, post it immediately after writing, and the rest of the people will go to prepare separately."
At this point, the first court meeting of the Ming Dynasty ended.
Not long after the end of the court meeting, when everyone was busy with their own affairs, the second notice of the Ming court came out.
The content of it is said to Li Chengqian
is no different.
When the common people heard that the notice was read, one or two were immediately excited.
Their king has not forgotten them!
With the spread of the notice, the Changming grain store directly piled up thousands of stones of grain on the street, which directly impacted their visual nerves.
No matter how well the notice is written, it is just a piece of paper after all, but the real food piled up there is the real notice!
At the same time, the news that His Royal Highness King Ming had worked out this cold plan without sleep didn't know why it spread around.
….
At that moment, many people suddenly realized.
No wonder the Daming Palace is brightly lit day and night, it turns out that their Royal Highness is sleepless about how they will spend this cold winter.
This made many ordinary people extremely moved.
Some people even shouted that they must have been a great and benevolent person in their previous life, so they could meet such a wise and benevolent monarch in this life.
When Li Xiaogong and Niu Jinda learned all this in Changming Restaurant, they were both stunned.
What the was still worried about yesterday, but the relationship was done overnight?
What does it mean to turn your hands into clouds and cover your hands for rain?
Isn't that what it is?
After all the disadvantages appeared in front of everyone's eyes with the brightly lit Daming Palace, everything began to change.
It was as if people really saw a king who was under the lights in the dark night and worked diligently for the people.
And the mountains of grain at the entrance of the Changming grain shop are undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the people of the Ming Dynasty!
As for the gloves, cloaks, and return stoves sold by Changming Commercial Bank, they are constantly emphasizing that their king has never forgotten them!
At that moment, Sun Moon Mountain boiled again.
The faces of the crowd were no longer worried and helpless, but more proud and satisfied.
They were proud to have such a king!
For their king never gave up on them!
Has anyone ever treated them like this in the past?
Murong Fuyun?
Hehe, old people, still remember how Murong Fuyun abandoned them at the beginning.
Murong Shun?
Hehe, wasn't Murong Shun stirring up the turmoil at Chishuiyuan before?
There is no harm without contrast, and at this moment, there is only one king in their hearts!
That's Li Chengqian!
Because this is the only king who cares about their life and death before the disaster comes!
At this moment, looking at the Daming Palace again, the palace instantly became taller......
