Chapter 1620: Love the people like a son

The girl in front of her, her little face was purple by the cold wind, and she was trembling when she spoke. She raised her little face, looking as if I was pitiful.

Emperor Hongzhi stood in the darkness and looked up at the darkness in front of him, and there were countless people.

They seemed too quiet and obedient, just like they were completely different from the people who had been stealing and poaching that Emperor Hongzhi encountered in the Zijin Mountain.

But clearly, they are all the same people.

Emperor Hongzhi took the fur he had made up, leaned down, and wrapped it around the little girl.

The fur is thick and wide, wrapped around a little girl, like a kitten.

The lining of the fur and the warmth in the carriage were warm. The little girl's frozen body was melting like an iceberg. She breathed a breath and became more courageous.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "What's your name?"

The little girl thought for a while: "My grandfather called me a wild girl."

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

Fang Jifan stood aside with a smile on his face. Although he felt that his IQ was being rubbed on the ground by a little girl, it seemed that it didn't matter. Everyone had children, such as himself...

Emperor Hongzhi said, "How many acres of land did you rent in your family?"

"Ba Mu." said the little girl: "My parents were so happy that they could rent them for ten years. If they were willing to go back ten years, they could also renew their rent. My father and I went out early in the morning and got up early in the morning to dig ditches for the ground to divert water, flipped the ground well, and burned some grass ash. When the next year, they would plant rice. The rice was born, and the white rice was cooked. It was delicious. In the future, there would be rice every day, so they would never be hungry again. The grandfather said that he had caught up with a good time. Even if he died tomorrow, he would think that his children and grandchildren had land to plant and could not be hungry, so he could rest in peace."

Emperor Hongzhi took a breath.

He had long known that white rice had a fatal attraction to his people.

When he ascended the throne until the twelve years of Hongzhi, he worked hard every day and could not be said to be diligent. But in the world at that time, ordinary people, not even white rice or yellow rice porridge, may not be able to eat them all year round. Many families were only full for half a year and hungry for half a year.

But this white rice can still be made into rice, which is almost the most luxurious food for ordinary people. Looking at this girl, he looked full of longing. Although Emperor Hongzhi took off his fur on his body in the cold wind and gave it to this girl, his body was a little cold, but his heart was warm.

He said: "Yes, good fields can be planted with rice. The land here is good, and the white rice grown can be eaten. If it is a worse mountain field, you can grow sweet potatoes and pearl rice. Once you grow it, you will have mixed grains. What else do you like to eat besides white rice?"

The little girl thought about it, shook her head, and said stubbornly: "White rice is the most delicious, you don't know anything."

Emperor Hongzhi: "…”

Fang Jifan then reached out, pinched the little girl's face, and secretly added some force, as if warning her not to destroy this hard-earned good atmosphere.

Emperor Hongzhi immediately said, "Yes, white rice is the best. It seems that I am ignorant, you are right."

Emperor Hongzhi then sighed and turned around to get on the bus.

After getting on the car, the car continued to pass through the crowds of people. After leaving the city, a light of dawn appeared. Emperor Hongzhi had already pulled the curtain of the car and could not bear to see the people next to the road.

"Jifan, what you did is right." After a long silence, Emperor Hongzhi said.

Fang Jifan said: "I don't know what Your Majesty is referring to..."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Strike down the powerful, collect the land of the world, and avoid renting it to the people. Sometimes, when I do things, it is inevitable that I will make up my mind, because I am not you, and I have to take the overall situation into consideration. Therefore, if you do anything, you will inevitably remind me that what kind of consequences will be caused by doing this wrong or doing that. Although I strongly trust you and let you go, I am not beating the drums in my heart. I am afraid that the inherent experiences of all dynasties are in front of me, and I follow the methods of my ancestors. At least, I can be sure that what you do in the vassal states are not in the past dynasties. If I ask you to do it, wouldn't it bet on you and make a big bet."

"But now... I can finally feel at ease. The person who was called girl just now, her heartless words really made me sigh. In her eyes, the best food in the world is white rice, which white rice..."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You have made great contributions to the matter of rent exemption. I did not refute that girl. Do you know why?"

Fang Jifan said: "One day, when this little girl can eat rice every year, she will feel that the rice is not delicious. At that time, she will naturally know that she is wrong and that your Majesty does not need to see her."

"No," Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "That's what I think. I can't convince her by my mouth, but by letting her convince herself. As Wang Bo'an Chengri said, talking is useless, just bend over and do it."

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise."

"After solving these things, I feel relieved. But... Liu Wen and others have been to Franji for a year, but I don't know what happened to the northern province. Also, the migration of so many people in the Golden Continent has been done. What are the results? Not only that... A large number of Confucian scholars went to Ottoman and Luzon. I was thinking, I don't know what the situation is now. I am in Beijing, and I am worried about the livelihood of ordinary people and I want to come out to see more, but when I go outside, I am worried about whether the national strategy will go smoothly. If I live in the temple, I worry about the people; if I live in the distance, I worry about the king. I am the emperor, but I can understand Ouyang Xiu's words very well."

Fang Jifan also frowned: "My son... is also extremely worried. My father is in the capital, and he is not at peace now. He has recovered a little. He hopes to go back to the Monkey King. His Majesty... In that Golden Martial Arts, there are not only countless people from the Ming Dynasty, but also countless disciples from the Monkey King. Moreover, there are many Fang family members. They are in the same place as the Monkey King. The Monkey King dreamed that they were attacked by the Spanish, chased by the natives, and were killed by tigers and wolves."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded. He could understand Fang Jifan's feelings, so he patted Fang Jifan on the shoulder: "Hurry up."

……………………

In the blink of an eye, the emperor arrived in Beijing.

The crown prince Zhu Houzhao led the emperor and grandson together with all officials to come to the Daming Gate to welcome the emperor.

Zhu Houzhao seemed energetic, but... he wore a pair of glasses and looked much more elegant.

All the officials knew what Your Majesty and Duke Qi did in Jiangnan, and they were mostly in a complicated mood. There were many ministers from Jiangnan in this temple, and Xie Qian was just one, and his whole family was sent away.

The backyard is on fire.

In a blink of an eye, he actually became a Luzonian.

Emperor Hongzhi got off the carriage, and Zhu Houzhao took all the officials to deliver a great gift.

Seeing his children and grandchildren, Emperor Hongzhi looked particularly excited: "What's wrong with the prince? Are you not good at your eyes?"

Looking at Zhu Houzhao's glasses, Emperor Hongzhi was shocked.

Fang Jifan was also worried. Xiao Zhu has been in the research institute all day these days, and his good eyes are probably useless. Looking at the glasses on his nose, how strange it is.

Zhu Houzhao said happily: "Go to Your Majesty, Erchen's eyes are good." He took off his eyes and turned them around: "Look, these glasses are not of a good degree, but many people in the institute wear them. Erchen feels that he doesn't wear them, and it seems that he is not sociable. He puts on the glasses again and grinned: "This will make it much more comfortable."

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

Fang Jifan almost spewed out the water with a thump.

Emperor Hongzhi then looked stern: "I ordered the prince to supervise the country, so you will be in the research institute all day long. Do you ignore any major events in the world? You have your own interests, and I have not stopped them, but this major events in the world are related to the welfare of all people. You are the prince... How can you ignore them?"

In fact, when Emperor Hongzhi saw his son, his joy had not passed. At this time, Zhu Houzhao said, "If the son dies, Emperor Hongzhi will go down the donkey."
