"Heavy Eight,"

"Don't be impulsive, how many times have you suffered losses in your hands?"

"What if, not literally, aren't you misleading people again?"

Queen Ma riveted her strength, and after catching up with Zhu Yuanzhang quickly, she hurriedly admonished.

The two words 'heavy eight' are unknown in the Huaixi circle, but no one knows about the existence of the people in this Henan territory.

Even if it is heard, it will be regarded as a local name such as 'dog egg'.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he slowed down and began to recall all kinds of losses and misunderstandings in the past.

I have to say that Queen Ma is very reasonable, because he misunderstood Ye Qing, he has suffered losses here in Ye Qing several times.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang just sighed and said: "It's also strange, when we were in the palace, we weren't so impulsive." ”

"But it's close to him Ye Qing, let's just"

Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, Queen Ma immediately added: "It's all your competitive spirit that is at work, you want to grab his handle too much, and you want to control him too much." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't answer, just kept silent, but the speed under his feet was no longer so urgent.

He doesn't think he's at fault!

Shouldn't the emperor, seize the handle to control the ministers?

The more capable people must be, the more they should grasp a handle and control it in the palm of their own hands!

It can be said that this is the sense of security given by the ministers to His Majesty the Emperor, and it can also be said that this is the emperor's way of controlling people!

It's just that the more he wants to control Ye Qing, the more he can't grasp Ye Qing's handle, and he will even suffer because of it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang recalled Ye Qing's attitude towards the people again, it was really a mouthful, but he had always sought for the people.

A person who has a knife mouth and a knife heart for dignitaries, but a knife mouth and a tofu heart for the people, will really do this kind of thing of robbing while the fire is hot?

"Snapping up the yellow flower girl?"

"No matter how you look at this, it's all robbery while it's hot!"

"It can be used on his Ye Qing's body, it's really possible that he didn't take advantage of the fire to rob!"

“.”

Zhu Yuanzhang just pondered for a while, so he immediately decided to go and see it first.

The matter related to him Ye Qing has to be seen to be believing, which is the safest choice.

Soon after, they went straight out of the north gate of Zhengzhou City.

And beyond this north gate, there are the major villages on the banks of the Yellow River!

They only saw heavy soldiers guarding the city gates, and countless people who were affected by the disaster wanted to enter the city to beg for a living, but they were all blocked by the cold-eyed Zhengzhou soldiers.

They were in the city, and although the scene they saw was not as good as that of Yanmen County and Ningbo City, it was still peaceful, and they could not see any disasters.

But beyond the city walls, there are countless 'walking dead'!

The victims wanted to go to the city to earn a living, but when they saw the soldiers who were about to keep them out, they had no choice but to go back.

The walking dead in their eyes are these victims who are going back.

In the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and others, a general was still on the tower of the city gate, and shouted with a light smile: "The imperial court has disaster relief money and food, and has built a shed for you and opened a porridge field for you." ”

"You can't all rush into the city, go back to your villages."

“.”

Zhu Yuanzhang, Mao Xiang and others looked at this high-ranking general, they were really angry, but they couldn't find any reason to be angry.

Because he's right!

As long as the disaster relief efforts are effective, enough refugee shelters have been erected, and enough porridge farms have been opened, they really can't all run to the city.

A large number of refugees rushed into the city, and it was easy to deal a devastating blow to the security of the city.

This is not groundless, it is empirical.

Throughout history, Zhu Yuanzhang knows that there are two very famous incidents that led to evil consequences after taking in refugees.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu broke out into infighting, and some of the defeated troops ran to the territory of the Han Dynasty.

They pleaded bitterly and promised the Han government that they would be willing to serve as the vanguard of the Han Dynasty and help the Han Dynasty attack the Xiongnu.

At that time, the court thought that it was a good idea to use razing to control razing, so they settled this group of Hun refugees.

And history also gave this group of Hun refugees a name, called 'Southern Xiongnu'!

At the beginning, the Southern Xiongnu were still very obedient to the agreement, but after the Northern Xiongnu were defeated, this group of Southern Xiongnu continued to cause chaos in the Han Dynasty.

The Han Dynasty had a strong military and suppressed the rebellion of the Southern Xiongnu many times, but because the Han Dynasty was reluctant to give up the well-armed Southern Xiongnu army, it was never completely eradicated.

In the Three Kingdoms era, the Southern Huns were finally revealed!

Their leader led the Southern Huns to rebel against the imperial court, leading to the Western Jin Dynasty and directly to its demise!

It was precisely because of the rebellion led by the Southern Huns that the Wuhu also began to rebel against the imperial court, which opened the Wuhu Chaos period when the people lived in the war!

Datang also has such examples.

In order to avoid the recurrence of the Wuhu rebellion, the Tang Dynasty pushed the Turkic refugees to the border and let them help the Tang army fight, but they did not expect that in the Tang Xuanzong period, it would still be difficult to escape the doom of history.

An Lushan and Shi Siming were both Turkic refugees who fled to the Tang Dynasty.

They helped the Tang army to fight, made great achievements, were favored by Tang Xuanzong, and mastered the military power of Hebei.

But in the end, the two took advantage of their unpreparedness and set off the famous 'Anshi Rebellion' in history.

Although the Tang Dynasty did not fall because of the Anshi Rebellion, it has also begun to go downhill since then!

This is only what Zhu Yuanzhang knows, after taking in refugees, the incident that led to the evil consequences!

And such incidents, which he did not know, happened to his children and grandchildren.

The Tunguska people, who originally belonged to Siberia, fled to Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty during the Yongle period in order to escape the cold climate of Siberia and became refugees of the Ming Dynasty.

But it was this group of refugees who finally staged a historical drama called 'Doves Occupy Magpie's Nest'!

Not bad

These refugees are their comrades, but the hungry refugees can do anything.

It was precisely because he was a comrade that he sent Ye Qing to preside over the disaster relief.

But just because they are comrades, they must not be allowed to rush into the city and bring security risks to the people in the city.

If such a thing happens, it will really be a natural disaster and a man-made disaster.

Zhu Yuanzhang and the others were not angry because the generals did not let the refugees enter the city, but because of his attitude of being high up and not treating the refugees as human beings.

But a bad attitude is not a big crime.

After all, what people say or do is very correct.

"Let's go,"

"Let's go and see if the refugee shack is enough to resettle the people, and see if the porridge field is enough to help the people."

Zhu Yuanzhang just glared at the general, and together with Queen Ma, under the escort of Mao Xiang and other brocade guards, he went straight to the disaster area.

The deeper they went into the disaster area, the more they could see the traces of the crossing of the flood peak, whether it was on the road or on the side of the road, there were traces of the Yellow River sediment.

You can even see the stinking remains of dead fish being cleaned up!

"Can't eat it,"

"Fellow, this dead fish can't be eaten!"

"This dead fish is crawling with countless flies, how can you eat it?"

A clean-up worker with a red cloth tied around his arm and a face mask is cleaning up the disease-prone things.

He hurriedly snatched the dead fish from the old man's hand and threw it directly into the bucket on the horse-drawn cart.

Looking at this scene, although Queen Ma felt pity, she controlled her hand that was ready to give alms.

Because she knew that once she gave alms, she would be surrounded by refugees, and she would not be able to control them at all.

Besides, if a good thing turns into a bad thing, not doing such a good thing is the greatest act of kindness.

Therefore, she could only choose to ignore it and continue to follow Zhu Yuanzhang to the most severely affected place, that is, to the villages along the Yellow River.

Of course, they didn't have to go over there, but they didn't see the so-called 'snapping up the yellow flower girl' incident along the way.

"Eating all the dead fish is enough to see that the disaster relief efforts are not enough."

"What the hell is he Ye Qing doing?"

"That sentence to buy a yellow flower girl, it's better not to be literal, otherwise"

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he stopped talking, but quickened his pace again, and his eyes became sharp and firm.

Soon after,

They finally came to a village with open terrain, and if they stood a little higher, they could see the raging Yellow River.

There is cracked loess everywhere here, but a senior farmer like Zhu Yuanzhang knows at a glance that this is not cultivated loess, but the sand that Hongfeng did not take away after he crossed the border.

After the sand is dried by the scorching summer sun, it becomes this cracked scene.

"Uncle, okay!"

"I'm going to sell myself and bury my brother."

“.”

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang and others lamented the ruthlessness of the flood, they suddenly heard a miserable male voice.

They followed the sound, and along the way, they only saw the victims holding bowls and lining up to go to the porridge field.

Queuing up to go to the porridge field, this is still a more gratifying scene in the disaster area.

But when they saw so many people with red cloth on their arms and masks on their faces, constantly carrying the corpses to the firewood, they frowned directly.

Here they are queuing to go to the porridge field, and they are queuing up to burn corpses over there, such a scene makes Zhu Yuanzhang and others uncomfortable to watch.

But they also know that this is the reality in the disaster area.

It's okay to have someone in charge!

The living have porridge to eat, sheds to live in, and the dead to take care of, which can also be said to be a good job in disaster relief!

As far as the customs of the Central Plains are concerned, entering the soil for peace is the right way, but where can the families of these people have the money to let them enter the earth for peace!

But there is no shortage of filial sons and daughters, who sell themselves here to bury their relatives!

Therefore, there are a lot of 'human teeth' here, and there are many coffin shop owners waiting for business here.

In fact, the young adults and yellow flower girls who sell themselves to bury their relatives will never get money.

As long as people like these people, they will give the money directly to the coffin shop owner, and then carry the coffin away in front of the person who sells it.

In this way, it is more than a sale.

There is no suspicion that the owner of the coffin shop will throw away the body halfway through, and then sell the old coffin anew.

This basic yin ethics is still present to the owner of the coffin shop.

It's just that don't think about erecting monuments or the like, at most, it's just a messy grave and it's over.

Of course, this has completed the burial of peace, and it has also fulfilled the filial piety of the betrayer!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this young man who sold himself to bury his brother, and suddenly thought of begging the neighbors to help bury his father and brother.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but want to pay for it, but was stopped by Queen Ma, who had tears in her eyes.

The reason is also very simple,

Once he did this good deed, so many people would flock to him, and the people who had been robbed of their business and the owner of the coffin shop would also flock to him.

When the time comes, not to mention the trouble, it will also affect the disaster relief order that has been established with great difficulty.

To put it bluntly, it is his kindness that will break the 'order' here!

It's just that this so-called order is really very ironic!

And at this very moment,

Zhu Yuanzhang and the others heard a lot of women crying.

They hurried away, only to see a man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and a few strong men who looked like thugs, leading a dozen young women with a rope through the crowd.

And these cries came from the mouths of these women who sold themselves to bury their own daughters.

"Uncle!"

"I'm going to sell myself, you give me a few coffin money, let me bury my mother!"

"I beg you!"

And at this very moment,

They saw a teenage girl covered in mud, constantly pinching her head at people's teeth.

But this person smiled and picked up the little girl's chin and squinted his eyes.

When he saw that the little girl looked good, he gave the corpse bearer a few pennies, and then gave the coffin shop owner some money.

The little girl watched her mother being put in the coffin, then watched her mother being carried away, and then reached out and let her put it on.

In this way, Ren Yazi led the little girls again and continued to search in the crowd.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it and gritted his teeth, and even Queen Ma's eyes had killing intent.

Mao Xiang and others even held the handle of the knife, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang gave an order, they would cut people and save people.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't give this order!

Because he can't!

From a moral point of view, each of these people should have a thousand cuts.

But are they forced?

There is no coercion, everything is voluntary.

Although this is indeed very robbing, it is very infuriating to grit your teeth.

He, Zhu Yuanzhang, can ask Ye Qing not to take advantage of the fire to rob, because Ye Qing is his minister, and he is an official of the court who must have a law and a moral bottom line in his heart.

But he can't ask these people to do good deeds without taking a penny!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang also frowned and said: "Blame us, blame us for not being able to come up with more money and food for disaster relief, we can only let the living barely live!" ”

“.”

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was blaming himself in a low voice, he suddenly saw a team of extremely arrogant people coming towards him.

They took loudspeakers made of iron sheets and shouted in the crowd.

"Everyone, listen, the strong men and women we bought are not allowed to take away, and we bought them at double the price."

"If you want to forcibly take it away, don't blame us for stabbing a head!"

"All the coffin shop owners, all the corpse bearers, listen, don't do business with people, only with us, and the price is twice as high as before!"

"If you don't comply, don't blame us for slashing a head!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma and others heard this, they immediately remembered the sentence 'Lord Ye wants to snap up the yellow flower girl'.

Whether this sentence is literal or not, they are not sure because they have not yet seen it is believing.

But now, they clearly know the meaning of the word 'rush to buy'!

I ask the officials to follow up on the support, and ask for the support of recommended tickets and monthly passes, thank you!
