Outside the city of Beiping.

A simple straw hut rises from the ground.

The whole Yanwang Mansion is gathered here, and they are opening a shed to give porridge and distribute food.

When the hungry people near Peiping Prefecture heard the good news, they immediately rushed over.

Since the weather has gradually become colder, there have been groups of displaced people gathered in major towns, Beiping City, as a giant town of Youyan, has become the best choice for the homeless and hungry people to gather, they hope to meet well-wishers and survive this cold winter.

So a queue of nearly 10,000 displaced people poured over, waiting in line.

No one dared to make trouble, after all, the guards of the Yan Wangfu were in front of them to maintain order.

Those who steal, cheat, and play rampant and domineering have long been taken down by the guards, hung up and beaten!

Because of this, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

One by one, the homeless and hungry people consciously lined up, and after receiving the porridge, they thanked everyone in Yanwangfu.

Especially when they learned that Princess Yan personally came to the porridge factory and took the female relatives in King Yan's mansion to personally open a shed to give porridge to the homeless and hungry people, many homeless and hungry people were even more moved to tears.

They were not homeless and hungry people before, they were all good people who honestly cultivated the fields and cultivated the land.

But on this cold day, there is no money to buy food or firewood, and if you continue to stay at home, you will only freeze to death and starve to death.

So they had no choice but to flock to the big towns, hoping to meet good Samaritans and survive this winter.

God is pitiful, His Royal Highness King Yan loves the people like a son, and he really let them meet him.

Zhu Gaochi looked at the homeless people in front of him who were constantly thanking him, and his eyes were also a little red.

They are all the people of the Ming Dynasty!

How did you fall into this position!

"Master, I remember that in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao set up almshouses in various places to accommodate disaster victims, to support the orphaned, poor, disabled and helpless, and to set up righteousness and bury the bones of the remains, for which there was a special allocation from the imperial court!"

"This sanatorium is undoubtedly a real benevolent government, but why can't it be implemented?"

Zhu Gaochi looked at Monk Daoyan with a blank face.

The black-clothed Daoyan sighed and explained in a deep voice: "Lord Shizi, the establishment of a nursing home is indeed benevolent government, but how many places have it really been implemented?"

"To give a simple example, the household department allocates 10,000 taels of silver to the local construction of a nursing home to support the orphaned, poor, disabled and helpless, how much does the prince think will be really spent on the construction of this nursing home?"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned when he heard this, and then subconsciously said: "Even if those local officials are corrupt, they have to have half of them left, at least five thousand taels of silver, right?"

"Hahaha......" Monk Daoyan sneered, "Lord Shizi, you are too simple, and you are too good!" ”

"The silver that is really used to build the nursing home will definitely not exceed 1,000 taels, and it is even very likely that the local officials are just making a show, and a straw hut is a nursing home, and this 1,000 taels will also fall into their pockets!"

"The reason is simple, it's not just local officials who are reaching out here! The household department allocates funds to the localities, and the middle will go through the provinces, prefectures and counties, and they will be scavenged down layer by layer, and those that fall into the hands of the county officials may not be a thousand taels, and the rest of the construction of a nursing home is not enough, it is better for them to be greedy themselves, and save a lot of trouble! ”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi was stunned and asked in disbelief: "...... them How dare you? ”

"Why don't you dare?" Monk Daoyan asked rhetorically, "Has the prince forgotten the Guo Huan case that swept the world in the early years of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Guo Huan, the servant of the central household department, united with the senior officials of the three local departments, cleverly set up a name to collect additional taxes, deceived the superiors and subordinates to embezzle taxes and grains, and filled their own pockets for corruption and bribery, Guo Huan and others embezzled a total of more than 24 million stone of grain, what an astonishing amount?!"

"Just imagine, what kind of life did the people under their rule live? I'm afraid that compared to these homeless and hungry people in front of me, it is not much better! ”

Big Chubby was silent.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes!

These corrupt officials really deserve to be killed!

Monk Daoyan attached great importance to Zhu Gaochi, so he did not hesitate to teach.

After all, he has always believed that Yan Wang Zhu Di is the true dragon emperor, and as the son of Yan King Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi will also sit in that position in the future.

Therefore, Monk Daoyan hopes that the prince of Yan in front of him can truly understand the sufferings of the people and become a benevolent master in the future.

"In addition to the corruption of local officials, rich businessmen and tycoons hoard for personal gain, which is also an important reason why the people have no food to eat!"

"Lord Shizi, you should know that one tael of silver can buy two stones of rice at ordinary times, even if the price of grain rises due to natural disasters, it is not a big deal to buy one stone of rice for one or two pieces of silver, but does Lord Shizi know what the price of grain in Beiping was last winter?"

"After the continuous influx of displaced people into the capital last year, many merchants in Beiping raised the price of rice collectively, taking the opportunity to make huge profits, the original price of one stone of rice and one tael of silver, soared to one stone of rice and five taels of silver, and even one stone of rice to eight taels of silver, this is the means of those rich businessmen and giants to make a fortune!"

Zhu Gaochi's face was full of iron when he heard this, and he clenched his fists fiercely.

Corrupt officials should be killed!

These rich businessmen deserve to be killed!

What is the difference between them and eating "human blood"?

The common people couldn't afford to buy food and firewood in winter, but these rich businessmen and tycoons didn't think about opening warehouses to release grain to help the victims, but took the opportunity to hoard Juqi to make huge profits!

Do they still have humanity?

A bunch of dog stuff!

"Lord Shizi, take a look at these homeless and hungry people!"

Monk Daoyan sighed, "If the great cause has been accomplished in the future, I hope that the prince will not forget his original intention!" ”

Big Chubby nodded, and gradually let go of his fist.

At this moment, he was extremely eager for his father to succeed and pull down Zhu Yunwen, a fool!

Yes, Zhu Yunwen is an out-and-out idiot!

After listening to what Su Yang said that night, Zhu Gaochi didn't feel much yet.

But now that he has seen the lives of the common people, Zhu Gaochi is really angry!

You, Zhu Yunwen, as the son of the great tomorrow, as the father of these people, don't think about how to help the people, but instead concentrate on leveling the vassal king and strengthening the power in his hands, what face do you Zhu Yunwen have to boast of loving the people like a son?

The so-called benevolent government implemented by the imperial court, these ordinary people did not get the slightest benefit, but it was Qi Huangfang and other gentry who made a lot of money, and you Zhu Yunwen still didn't know it, and you were still complacent because of it!

It's disgusting!

Zhu Gao's eyes were red.

The lesson brought to him by this scene in front of him is far more precious and real than in books!

"Everyone line up, don't crowd, come one by one, everyone has a share, don't worry!"

Zhu Gaochi loudly comforted the displaced people and maintained order at the scene.

At this moment, in front of the various porridge sheds, thousands of homeless people stood in line, and in front of them there were dozens of cauldrons with the fragrance of porridge, and there were some people from the Yanwang Mansion who were serving porridge.

Looking at the steaming rice porridge in the pot, these homeless people in the front row took their bowls and stepped forward to receive the porridge one by one, and many people couldn't help but swallow a few bites.

That longing look made people panic when they saw it!

Many homeless people, especially some who had just arrived here, were grateful after receiving the porridge, and some even knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly helped him up, and he comforted him for a long time before giving up.

The common people are simple and honest, as long as you are good to them, they will naturally be grateful to Dade.

The imperial court is obviously capable of doing these things, why doesn't it do it?

Zhu Yunwen, you are such an idiot!
