Zhu Yuanzhang's roar came from the upper study for a long time, making the guards at the door tremble with fright.

Zhu Biao saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was angry, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade:

"Father, don't worry, Li Jin has made great contributions to the relief of so many victims."

"Moreover, Li Jin shouldn't be such a person, how can he give people these things?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's anger did not subside, staring at Mao Xiang with round eyes:

"Tell us that Li Jin really cooked the bran and grass into porridge and gave it to the victims?"

Mao Xiang didn't dare to hide it, and directly told Zhu Yuanzhang everything he saw at the emergency aid station.

He even said what the officials said about the animals.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he was immediately furious and scolded:

"Corrupt officials and corrupt officials are all dog officials."

"These people have embezzled our relief money, and they have left some bran and forage for our people to eat."

"Good! These officials treat the people as animals, so let's turn these officials into animals. ”

"Someone!!"

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was about to be furious, Mao Xiang hurriedly said the image of the official he saw in Yiwu.

Hearing that the officials in Yiwu all took the initiative to take the lead in the work, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little dumbfounded.

He was still angrily scolding the dog officials just now, and at this time, he didn't know how to describe this group of Yiwu officials.

Zhu Biao also said:

"Father, there may be something else hidden in this matter, so let someone investigate it again and make a decision."

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his brows, and then asked Mao Xiang to step back for the time being.

Even if you really want to send someone to go again, you can't say it in front of Mao Xiang, otherwise it will be a distrust of Mao Xiang.

Thinking of Li Jin's various behaviors in Yiwu, Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and said solemnly:

"Let's go to Yiwu to see it in person!"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he was immediately shocked and said:

"Father, don't do it!"

"The last time I went to Weifu for a private visit, the officials had a lot of complaints."

"Now if my father goes to Yiwu again, I'm afraid that the hundred officials will play and admonish."

"These civil officials like the excerpt when they have nothing to do, don't pay attention to him."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, saying that it didn't matter, civil officials were all virtuous.

"If we don't go to Yiwu County in person and see the people of Yiwu County, we really can't rest assured."

Zhu Biao saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had made up his mind, and he must not be able to persuade him, so he said:

"If my father wants to go, he must bring his sons, and he also wants to know how the so-called cash-for-work is done?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said:

"I see you're also thinking about going out to breathe!"

Zhu Biao touched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly.

....

What Zhu Yuanzhang decides, it is difficult for others to dissuade them.

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang drove lightly, in addition to bringing Zhu Biao, it was Mao Xiang and a few brocade guards.

Yingtianfu is very close to Yiwu, and within two days, Zhu Yuanzhang's carriage came to Yiwu.

As soon as I entered Yiwu, I saw groups of people, under the leadership of officials, working the roadside.

"Daddy, look. Sure enough, as Master Mao said, these Yiwu officials really lead by example and take the lead in their work. ”

When Zhu Biao saw this scene, he stretched out his finger and pointed at those officials, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, but his face was still expressionless.

These are the jobs of officials themselves, and there is no need to make a fuss.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's cognition, the officials of the Ming Dynasty have to be like this, this is just a basic operation, just past the passing line, there is nothing to praise.

Now he wants to know more about what these people are eating. Is it the same as what the officials eat.

"Mao Xiang, take us to see the so-called emergency aid station."

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Mao Xiang drove the carriage, changed direction, and went straight to the city.

When Zhu Yuanzhang arrived at the rescue site, he found that there were a bunch of people lined up at this site.

One by one, the people were hungry, unkempt and ragged, as if they had been hungry for a long time.

Seeing so many people lining up to eat here, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately stepped forward to see if it was really like what Mao Xiang said.

Zhu Yuanzhang's pace was very fast, and he came to the iron pot after a while.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw what was boiling in the iron pot, Zhu Yuanzhang only felt a rush of blood rushing to his brain.

The things cooked there, as Mao Xiang said, are bran and forage.

But I don't know if the conscience of the servant found that even if it is bran, the cooking in this pot is thick, and the chopsticks are not poured.

Even so, Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded.

These dog things are really for our people to eat, and we are going to cut these dog things.

"Dogs, you give these things to the people to eat, why don't you eat them yourself?"

"We're going to arrest you and behead you all."

Zhu Yuanzhang's roar immediately attracted everyone's attention.

And the official who was roared by Zhu Yuanzhang was as if he was being stared at by a tiger at this moment, his hair stood on end, and he couldn't speak.

Fortunately, there was more than one official on duty today, and he immediately rushed forward.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang and others were extraordinary, and their clothes were more luxurious, they didn't dare to make a mistake, and explained loudly:

"We are just servants, just acting on orders, so why should this noble man embarrass us?"

"If it hurts us, this soup kitchen may be delayed today."

"It doesn't matter if we have rough skin and thick meat, but we have suffered these people."

The officials talk about people when they see people, and they talk nonsense when they see ghosts, they are all old fritters in officialdom.

Seeing characters like Zhu Yuanzhang, he didn't dare to be presumptuous at all, but he was very humble, which made Zhu Yuanzhang angry but couldn't let it out.

At this time, the victim next to him who was preparing to receive porridge was bold and said to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"This lord, don't arrest them, okay?"

"We came from the north, our house is gone, the land is flooded, and we have been hungry for three days."

"I've finally found a place where I can help the disaster, and you have to say that you can't eat these things."

"Can we not know if these things can be eaten?"

"My wife, children, and mother, if it weren't for this thing, I would have starved to death yesterday."

"Now they're still waiting for me to bring things back to them, and I beg you not to snuff out our only hope."

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that this person said so desolately, and his heart was also painful.

Our people in Daming are so simple, even if it is bran and forage, they are willing to accept it.

But these are all the faults of these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and we let them give the people rice to eat, not these.

"Do you know that the emperor asked them to give rice and noodles, not this kind of bran."

"Bran is for animals, not for men."

The man's expression did not change at all, not even with indignation, and replied:

"I know, it's not just me, we all know it."

"The prefectural magistrate has long told us that if we want to get a better life, we have to rely on ourselves."

"If it weren't for the fact that our bodies are still very weak now, we would have gone to eat rice and wheat cakes by working hard."

"Master, please, don't make trouble."

"If this place is closed, I don't know how many more people will starve to death!"

As he spoke, the five-foot-tall man knelt down at Zhu Yuanzhang and the others.

The people queuing up behind him to receive the porridge also knelt down in an uproar:

"Please!"
