said that he didn't care about the food, but the emperor still took care of the rice in the end.

Zhu Di is not hungry, he is full. But Zhu Gaoxian came to the palace early in the morning without eating, and he was still hungry.

The food in the palace is still as light and simple as ever, with white rice porridge, pickled cucumbers, and hot baked cakes just out of the oven.

Zhu Gaoxian has never been soft-hearted when he went to the palace to eat, and he showed off six baked cakes and drank two bowls of rice porridge, and Zhu Di was a little hungry.

"Are you a starving ghost reincarnated, how can you eat it like this?" Zhu Diqi's toothache.

He usually let the crown prince, the king of Han and the officials of the six cabinet departments eat in the palace, but whoever eats in front of the emperor is not cautious, drinking a bowl of rice porridge is like drinking poison, how can there be such a fierce person as Zhu Gaoxian.

This kid is really not polite!

"I have to pay out of pocket to eat in the palace, and it will be reimbursed by the public to eat in the palace, can it be the same......" Zhu Gaoxian whispered, "No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat, and it is a little ...... to rub a little."

"What did you say!" Zhu Di was furious.

Damn, every time I sit and eat with this kid, I can make him angry!

Zhu Di frowned and said: "It's okay to go to Jiming Temple more, let the old monk teach you well, learn what it means to be far-sighted, take one step and see a hundred steps." ”

"That's too much trouble, it's too far." Zhu Gaoxian retorted.

Zhu Di was a little puzzled: "What's the trouble, Jiming Temple is in Jinling City, you can get there in two steps, what's the trouble?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian was stunned: "Jiming Temple is in Jinling City?" Isn't it in Dongguan? ”

"What a mess." Zhu Di is a little confused.

"I didn't say anything." Zhu Gaoxian pretended to be confused.

Zhu Di glanced at him suspiciously, and remembered that he hadn't said anything about the matter: "By the way, let's get down to business, you have to supervise more from the Fusi side of Beizhen." ”

Although he said it, Zhu Gaoxian still understood the meaning: "The emperor wants his sons to check it...... Shandong floods? ”

"The method you proposed to flush the sand and divert the Yellow River is really good, and the method of cash-for-work is also very good, but whether the plan is good and whether it can be implemented are two different things." Zhu Di said with a little meaning, "For disaster relief and people, one pound of rice is not as good as three pounds of bran." But I just want to make a pound of rice into a pound of rice, as for how to do it, you will deal with it. ”

Looking at all dynasties, the imperial court has never lacked a kind of person who is active in disaster relief.

This kind of person is the corrupt officials who take away the life-saving food of the displaced people.

They made a fortune in the country, and the imperial court sent 10,000 stone of grain, and after heavy deductions, only 100 stone of grain fell into the hands of the homeless.

Originally, the grain sent by the imperial court was enough to steam rice, but after passing through the hands of the political envoy Si Yamen, only thick porridge remained. After the thick porridge passed through the hands of the state government yamen, it became porridge. After the porridge was peeled off by the officials of the county yamen, only the soup boiled from chaff remained. However, the officials in the disaster area wrote to the emperor to thank Dade, praising the emperor as a flower, and the emperor was also happy.

The unwitting exiles secretly scolded the emperor for slamming the door in their hearts, but they were grateful to these corrupt officials and corrupt officials who delivered a hundred stones of grain to them.

Bran, which mainly refers to the discarded material after grain processing, includes chaff, oatmeal, stalks, which are strong, resistant cellulose components, and a small pinch of the outer layer of rice and wheat endosperm that may remain. Among them, what can be digested and absorbed by humans as nutrients is the handful of outer layers of rice and wheat endosperm that may remain. If you heat it up and eat it like cooking, you are more likely to die of choking, bloating, and malnutrition than if you survive.

Can you eat bran? Yes, when hungry to a certain extent, bran is stronger than Yizi and eats, but it can only satisfy hunger and continue life, and cannot provide people with nutrients to live, at most as a filling, relieving the self-digestion process of the stomach.

Therefore, the sensible courtiers will replace the rice sent by the imperial court with bran when disaster relief occurs after a natural disaster. Because one pound of rice can be exchanged for three pounds of bran.

Three hundred stone of bran is better than one hundred stone of rice.

It is not so much a natural disaster as a man-made disaster.

Someone else might have acquiesced, but Emperor Yongle didn't agree.

Zhu Di came over in the chaotic era at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and he knew very well why his father Zhu Yuanzhang rebelled.

In the third year of Zheng, there was a drought in Haozhou. The following spring there was another severe plague of locusts and pestilence. The imperial court allocated relief food, but it was divided up by corrupt officials and corrupt officials. On the sixth day of April, Zhu Yuanzhang's father starved to death, on the ninth day of April, Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest brother starved to death, on April 12, Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest nephew starved to death, and on April twenty-two, Zhu Yuanzhang's mother starved to death.

There is no coffin at the funeral, the body is evil, floating three feet, what a food pulp!

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What is the use of such a court? ”

In the first month of the first year of Hongwu, that is, the emperor is located in Yingtianfu, the country name is Daming, and the year name is Hongwu. In the autumn of the same year, Dadu was captured, ending the rule of the Yuan Empire in the Central Plains. Later, he pacified the southwest, northwest, and eastern Liaodong, and finally completed the fate of great unification.

……

Zhu Di has always been domineering, and the imperial court issued 10,000 stone rice, so 10,000 stone rice had to be implemented.

Whoever dares to reach out to touch the imperial court's relief food will kill him.

Embezzle a stone of grain, kill you and a corrupt official!

Embezzle ten stones of grain and kill your whole family of corrupt officials!

Embezzle 100 stones of grain, kill your corrupt officials and nine clans, and behead all over the house!

"Erchen understands." Zhu Gaoxian replied.

……

Out of the imperial study, Zhu Gaoxian went to the East Palace.

The day after Zhang Yingzhen and Zhu Gaoxian's wedding, according to the rules, they wanted to visit the queen first. However, after Queen Xu died of illness and Zhu Di was never re-established, the harem naturally took the crown princess as the head of the female dependents, so she should visit the crown princess.

The crown princess's surname is Zhang, although she has the same surname as Zhang Yingzhen, the power behind her is far inferior to the British government, just an ordinary family. This is actually Zhu Di's equalization method, among his four sons, the second, third, and fourth princesses are all daughters from wealthy families, but the crown princess is only a commanding maid.

You must know that even the prince's concubine Guo is the daughter of Guo Ying, the prince of Yingguo, and the prince's concubine is only the daughter of Zheng Sanpin.

……

When I entered the East Palace, I saw Zhang Yingzhen and the crown princess sitting in a pavilion chatting and laughing.

"Sister-in-law." Zhu Gaoxian bowed.

The crown princess had a delicate face, and she was gentle and elegant when she raised her hands and feet, and replied: "It's just right that Prince Qi is here, your princess is really a good girl, virtuous and virtuous, and you have to treat others well after you go back." ”

"That's nature." Zhu Gaoxian smiled lightly.

"Hey, fourth, you can really do it, you still stay at the old man's place for a meal." At this time, someone walked over, it was the prince who was supported by the "good saint grandson" Zhu Zhanji, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "I called us over early this morning to scold, but I was scared to death." ”

Then, the crown prince pointed at Zhu Gaoxian and smiled at everyone: "You don't know how majestic the fourth child is in the imperial study today, he has thousands of strategies and magic strategies, and he has great powers. After so many years, the fourth child is the second person I have met who has the ability to make the old man go out. ”

Zhu Gaoxian is the second person the prince has ever seen who has the ability to make Zhu Di extinguish the fire.

And the first one is the late Empress Renxiao Xu.

Prince, this is already quite a high evaluation.
