Chapter 288 The imperial edict from the heavenly master arrives!
Chapter 288 The Imperial Master descends from heaven and the imperial edict arrives!
Listening to the three people chatting with each other, Chen Ye also thought of this problem.
The people of the Ming Dynasty, or the people of ancient times, the vast majority of people in the city were pretty good if they could take a serious bath once a month, let alone two or three days.
After all, it takes a lot of work to carry water and boil water. It's a waste of firewood and a lot of work. Usually they just go bare-chested and wet the handkerchief to wipe themselves. Well, the effect is a little bit useful.
This is only done by the fastidious people, or those rich businessmen, or exquisite women. How can the people who are rushing to live every day have time?
The most they can do is wipe their hands and face. If you ask them to roll up their sleeves, they can give you a pound of leg-stretching pills.
Not to mention the hair of ordinary people. The reason why their hair is tied up is to keep it tight. If it is let down, not only will it get oily, but also all kinds of lice will crawl on it.
This also gave rise to the sachet industry and the emergence of various insect repellent and insecticidal scents. Most aromatherapy has the same insecticidal effect as mosquito coils.
This is also the reason why the incense industry developed in ancient times. Various incense mixed with medicinal materials can achieve the effect of repelling insects and killing mosquitoes.
So traveling back in time to ancient times is really not a beautiful thing. If you are in a rich family and there are many people waiting on you, it will be fine, and your life will be very comfortable.
But if you are in a rural area and want to be clean, spend time cleaning it by the river every day. Your fellow villagers may leave your house alone, and you may have fleas even when you sleep at night.
"There is a long way to go! The Ministry of Health's publicity alone is of no use. People must really get rich and infrastructure facilities can be truly laid out so that people can think about taking a bath and have the leisure to take a bath."
"What I like most is that my husband is doing good for the people, unlike those corrupt officials in the court."
"That's right, that's right. If all the high officials in the world were like husbands, what would the Ming Dynasty be like?"
Listening to Chen Ye's words, Cai Wei and Cai Die looked at Chen Ye with bright eyes. What they liked was the truth that Chen Ye often said.
When others say they want the people to do whatever they want, they will only regard it as a joke. The key is that Chen Ye is close to the emperor and what he says is useful and can be realized.
"Hezi and his two sisters thought the same. Every family in the Japanese country treats their servants as livestock, which means that the husband will treat his servants as human beings."
"Are you getting better and better at talking now?
Okay, it's already eight o'clock. Pick up the weeds and butterflies, take care of your home, and teach Hezi well. Don't bully her. If she comes to complain to me, watch your butts.
Hezi, when asking Caiwei and Caidi for advice, ask questions if you don't understand. Don't be bored. In the future, I will always have my own property in the Japanese country, and these cannot be given to your mother's family."
"Hezi understands. He must learn from his two sisters and will not let his husband down."
"Husband, don't worry, will we still bully my sister?"
Chen Ye stood up, walked to the shoe cabinet in his slippers, stretched out his hand, and took out a new pair of sneakers from the space.
While putting on my shoes, I was thinking, the last time the sand and gravel collection system made me restrain myself, it seems that it was because it was too obvious that I was using it for public use?
After all, the display window has always been a transfer station for transactions, and the items Chongzhen took out were all sold to him by himself, and he often directly regarded the system as a storage space without forming a transaction.
When the three women sent Chen Ye to the door, Jin Yiwei, who had been waiting outside the door since he got up early in the morning, guarded several motorcycles. When he saw Chen Ye going out, he quickly saluted and said hello.
The Jinyiwei who belonged to Chen Ye were the first to change their clothes. Their clothes had changed into Mao suits. Headphones were hung on their ears. The line was connected to the Jinyiwei headquarters through the intercom on their waist.
A group of people escorted Chen Ye and quickly rode motorcycles to the airport in Zhili that was under construction.
When passing the intersection of Andingmen Street and Dongzhimen Street, Chen Ye even discovered that there was an official standing in the middle of the road, directing the carriages passing by and giving way to the main road to allow the bicycles and motorcycles of court officials to pass.
There is always a feeling of a film and television city that is both modern and completely ancient.
What a clumsy time-travel drama.
Since we already have experience in the construction of Liaoyang Airport, the construction speed of Zhili Airport will be faster. The experience of driving construction vehicles all the way allows the construction truck drivers to drive extremely smoothly on flat ground.
The airport's new runway was built in less than four days under the neat work of a group. It is a second-level cement road that is one kilometer long and ten meters wide. At this moment, several Novice Six vehicles are parked in a tent at the end of the runway.
Hangar.
A soldier in ground service uniforms wearing a helmet is leading several reserve ground workers wearing headphones to learn how to protect these big guys in front of him.
In a row of military green tents, there are several selected pilots who are learning to use simulated flight cabins. They also have physical classes every afternoon and cultural classes in the evenings.
Chen Ye already knows these contents. After all, he is the link between the two worlds, and he assisted in setting up all the contents, but the person who implemented them is Chongzhen.
"Shopkeeper, this way!"
Next to the only frame building at the airport, Chongzhen saw Chen Ye and waved to Chen Ye that he was there.
In fact, there is no need for Chongzhen to signal. Chongzhen's dragon flag and the only frame house in the entire airport can explain Chongzhen's location.
"Lao Zhu, why haven't the household supplies and silver coins been confiscated in the display window?"
"I'll collect it right away. Yesterday they reported that it was ready. It's strange. I always feel that the food from the Ministry of Revenue is collected and then released. It feels weird."
"Probably because this kind of material collection does not reflect transaction behavior."
Chen Ye told his guess, making Chongzhen look clear.
"That's what you said, but the shop owner. Why don't you learn from Heshen's disaster relief method of later generations and mix the rice with something?"
"Because Heshen provided disaster relief, the root cause was not disaster relief, but to make money, so he replaced the good rice provided by the court with old rice and rotten rice that could not be eaten.
The euphemistic saying is that officials will not eat these, so the people can have something to eat. Think about it, if all the food with all kinds of rat urine and rat feces is cooked, the people who starve to death are almost as likely to die from diseases as they eat them.
Indeed, the people survived because of these, but in essence he was not saving the people, in his heart he was saving the animals, so he didn't care at all how the people were eating.
What's more, there is no part of Heshen's disaster relief in history. The real history is that good rice was replaced by poor rice, and the poor rice was intercepted again.
The officials didn't dare to tell, so they could only add their own information. It should be the historical information I found for you, and this strange thing got mixed in unpreparedly.
Speaking of which, since we have good rice, why do we need to add more ingredients? In the former Song Dynasty, Zhao Gong provided disaster relief, but others did not do this. Others could do it to appease the victims.
In the final analysis, it is the execution personnel below who are the key. Do you think those officials will not be able to separate the rice for you if you mix it with sand?
But even if it is so bad, the Qing Dynasty is much better than you at this time. Others have at least initiated disaster relief from the court. How about you? How many times have you done disaster relief if I hadn't appeared?"
Hearing what Chen Ye said, Chongzhen instantly understood that no matter how poor the disaster relief was, as long as the root cause was not good, only those on the surface would get help, and secretly the people would still be hungry.
"Get the drone out. I'll go find Zhang Guowei first, then Yang Sichang in the afternoon, and have a heart-to-heart talk with Li Dingguo. The routes these days are quite booked."
"Thank you for your hard work, shopkeeper. Over there with Yang Sichang, shopkeeper, you have to reprimand him severely for me. Come over for lunch and I'll treat you to dragon meat."
"Dragon meat?"
"I caught a sturgeon weighing four hundred pounds in the canal. It looks like a dragon. I'll give you a try later."
"No, no, no! Don't you know that the older the fish, the better the meat? And I don't like to eat fish."
When Chen Ye heard Chongzhen's words, he quickly stopped. These ancient people always liked to eat these very large giant mutated creatures to prove their destiny.
Four hundred kilograms of large sturgeons were caught from a canal and sent to Chongzhen. I am afraid there is not much left to eat, and the outside is probably rotten.
What's more, the bigger the creature is, the more delicious it is. People who often eat various types of meat know that the older the creature, the better the meat. For example, the meat quality of piglets and adult pigs is different.
"Don't you like it, owner? Forget it, I'll let Concubine Tian give you two side dishes at will, and we'll have some for lunch."
"Okay, we can have this. Then I'll go to the drone first. Let's get started as soon as possible."
Chen Ye nodded. This time he was quite satisfied with Chongzhen's opinion. It only took him more than an hour to travel to Henan.
Then I discussed the details with Zhang Guowei, put down the supplies and the radio, and left the radio tutorial tablet. The whole process took less than three hours.
It's time to eat before 12 noon. Well, it's very late. Tian Guifei's cooking skills are also good. With modern seasonings, the ancient carefully selected natural ingredients are still very tasty.
After the drone took off, Chongzhen took out his walkie-talkie and started to contact the palace, telling Concubine Tian that she needed to have dinner with the shop owner at noon today and asked him to make some dishes.
In fact, what he eats is not important. What is important is that Chongzhen should give Chen Ye an attitude, that is, treat Chen Ye completely as his own family, and even be closer than his own family.
Therefore, even if Chongzhen had an imperial chef around him, he would still let his beloved Concubine Tian cook. This was the reason why.
Concubine Tian Guifei, who was explaining the picture-recognition atlas to Zhu Yuli in the palace, looked at the palace maid who suddenly came in and motioned for her to keep her voice down.
"Your Majesty, the father-in-law from the main hospital's intercom came over and said that His Majesty asked you to cook some dishes and that you would have dinner with the Imperial Master at noon."
"Okay, I understand."
Concubine Tian nodded and said. She turned around and found Zhu Yuli staring at her with his eyes twinkling. He had obviously heard their conversation and couldn't help but think that Zhu Yuli seemed to have a good relationship with Chen Ye.
"Girl, has your uncle, the shop owner, ever told you what his favorite dish is?"
"Candy!! And fruits!!! The shopkeeper uncle often brings these delicious things to me."
Concubine Tian Guifei looked at the serious Zhu Yuli and felt a little stupid.
Even if a little girl is loved by adults, they won't talk to her about what she likes to eat.
"The owner's uncle also said that he likes to eat twice-cooked pork, sweet and sour pork loin, braised beef, and stir-fried shredded potatoes."
!!?
It seems that children really like to eat. This kind of information is very accurate.
Shaking her head, Concubine Tian started to open the tablet according to the name of the dish reported by Zhu Yuli, skillfully found the recipe software, and then ordered someone to send orders to the imperial kitchen to prepare the ingredients for her.
As a noble concubine, Concubine Tian wanted to cook, so naturally she would not be like ordinary people, who had to choose and prepare the dishes by herself.
Her cooking is actually to ask the imperial kitchen to prepare all the ingredients, and then she is responsible for putting them into the pot.
Even if there was a dish that was too explosive, she would ask the royal chefs to stir-fry it if it wasn't for the purpose of showing it off to Chongzhen.
Half an hour later, Concubine Tian officially set off and rushed to the imperial dining room, followed by her curious daughter who was being led by the palace maid.
"Your Majesty, according to the recipe, all the dishes have been prepared."
"Well, let's get started. Remember, the order in which all the bowls are handed out must be according to my instructions. The time and breath must also be watched carefully, and no mess can be made."
"Slave understands!"
Concubine Tian started cooking in full swing.
On the other side, over Kaifeng Prefecture, Chen Ye had already flown to the Kaifeng Prefecture County Government Area.
Seeing that the hatch was open and the readiness indicator light was on, Chen Ye squatted down and held a five-color imperial edict in his hand. The scroll was made of black rhinoceros horn. This is the imperial edict format of the third grade and above.
“I don’t know if the Chinese rhinoceros is extinct because too many imperial edicts were issued.”
Chen Ye looked at the scroll in his hand and said with emotion, rhinoceros horns are used for various purposes. Sichuan mahjong also has rhinoceros horns. How big is a rhinoceros horn?
Just as he was thinking about it, the opening readiness light on the plane flashed rapidly. This was an agreement made by Chongzhen and Chen Ye. As long as he clicked on the opening and closing positions continuously, the door would not open, but Chen Ye could know it.
"Yohoo! Zhang Guowei and Gao Mingheng are here!"
The cabin door opened, and Chen Ye fell directly, controlling his body in the air and trying not to hit anyone.
At the county government office of Kaifeng Prefecture, Governor Zhang Guowei and Governor Gao Mingheng were reading the newspaper that had just been delivered by Daming Prefecture. Sitting beside them was the honest Kaifeng County Magistrate.
Daming Mansion is very close to Henan, and the newspapers distributed by Daming Mansion can be delivered every two days, so they can understand the trends of the imperial court in the capital.
Over in Huguang, Yang Sichang was in dire straits. The newspapers that Yang Sichang received now were the 'latest news' provided by the Royal Merchant Company along the canal and delivered by express horse.
As he was talking, Gao Mingheng suddenly heard a rumble.
"Yu Shi, listen, is it thundering?"
"Eh? It seems so. The weather has been cloudless today. This is drought and thunder.
I'm just afraid that the drought will be more serious this year. What the hell is going on? It's getting worse every year."
"Who knows? Fortunately, all the Jiannu slaves in Liaodong have been wiped out, and the Ming Dynasty will no longer have any dangers.
Strange, why is the thunder getting louder and louder?"
"Why don't you go out and take a look? Is it going to rain?"
Listening to the increasingly clear voices, the two of them stood up strangely and walked towards the yard. The Kaifeng County Magistrate beside them was completely speechless and could only carefully serve the two big bosses who were not at their work stations and wandering around.
.
But before I could go out, I suddenly heard a noise coming from outside, and then the courtyard door was knocked open, and a government official ran in.
"Report! The governor! The governor! And the county magistrate!
A thunderous bird flew over from the sky, and dropped down an Imperial Envoy!"
"Throwing down an Imperial Envoy? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhang Guowei stared with wide eyes at the government servant who ran in to report the news. He was full of disbelief in what he said.
If an imperial envoy comes, he can accept it, and if a thundering bird flies by, he can accept it, but if the big bird throws down an imperial envoy, he is still a national advisor that the Ming Dynasty has never had. How can he accept it?
"My Lord Governor, it's true! He also held the five-color imperial edict and asked you and the Governor to take the order by name!"
"It seems that I am too lenient with you on weekdays, so that you don't even understand what the rules are?
Come here, pull down the cow's egg and use dung water to wake him up first!"
"Pingzhong, why don't we go and see first what makes them talk such nonsense."
The yamen officer who came in was an old yamen officer, so the governor Gao Mingheng felt embarrassed for saying such nonsense and wanted someone to take him away first.
After Zhang Guowei persuaded him, he temporarily suppressed his anger and asked the yamen servant to take him to see what was going on.
On a street more than twenty meters away from the county government office, Chen Ye, who was trying his best to control himself and fly to the vicinity of the county government office accurately, was surrounded by more than a dozen government officials.
As the seat of the governor of Henan, Kaifeng has the largest number of government officials among all the counties in Henan.
Although there are less than ten officials in the entire county government, there are hundreds of officials responsible for participating in corvee service, carrying sedan chairs, serving as yamen servants, and serving as slaves.
Kaifeng also has the Five Cities Military and Horse Department and other positions, which can be said to have all the functions of the six ministries. It is such a big city that can withstand Li Zicheng's attacks again and again.
As soon as the drone flew over Kaifeng, the people, government officials, and guards below saw it. After all, the drone flying at low altitude was very obvious when it passed overhead.
Then, the way Chen Ye came down was very impressive, so he was watched by the people and government officials.
The government officials who came to be on guard and the people who were watching did not dare to approach him, for fear that this man who could not fall to death might have some evil tricks.
There was a stalemate, and after Chen Ye, who was holding the imperial edict, took the initiative to reveal his identity, the yamen officer said that Zhang Guowei and the others were at the county yamen, waiting to be informed.
After Zhang Guowei followed over, he looked at Chen Ye, who was dressed in casual clothes, without any impression.
He was too young. In his opinion, Chen Ye's image did not look like someone who could be a national advisor at all, even though the Ming Dynasty had never had an official national advisor position.
He and Gao Mingheng didn't know Chen Ye because Chen Ye hadn't even arrived in the Ming Dynasty when they were sent here.
However, they knew Chen Ye's other identity, the 'shop owner' very well.
After the people around and the two second-rank officials, Xiao Xiaoxian finished talking about Chen Ye's appearance, Zhang Guowei and the others knew that the big bird must be the aircraft described in the newspaper that could carry people in the Chongzhen military parade picture.
And this person should not be a fake courier. The Ming Dynasty has never heard of anyone else having that plane.
"Who are Zhang Guowei and Zhang Yuji, the governors of Henan? And Gao Mingheng and Gao Pingzhong, the governors of Henan?"
"My official is Zhang Guowei, who are you? Why don't you deliver the imperial edict in accordance with the court regulations? Why are you not injured even though you fell from the sky?"
The regulations Zhang Guowei mentioned here actually meant that he was informed in advance that the imperial edict had entered the city, and he was not notified until he arrived at the county government office. He was unprepared, which was tantamount to breaking the rules.
"Governor Zhang, my identity is the first Imperial Counselor of the Ming Dynasty. This is my identity introduction tablet. It contains the appointment given to me by His Majesty and the Cabinet Committee. You can confirm it after reading it.
As for how I came here, of course I came from the sky by plane. You should have received the newspaper to know what the plane was. I came down using a special airborne method, so I can’t tell you."
Chen Ye asked a government official to hand the tablet to Zhang Guowei and Gao Mingheng, indicate to them how to click on the lock screen password, and then click on the Chinese character and numeric lock screen password.
As the screen lock opened, the video paused on the lock screen began to play, and a scene of Chongzhen introducing Chen Ye to the cabinet members appeared.
"Ouch, what is this thing, and why is it still glowing?"
"Don't move! This is His Majesty's appearance. Why is Your Majesty in this small box?"
Gao Mingheng and Zhang Guowei both met Chongzhen in the capital, so when they looked at Chongzhen in the video, their hands shook subconsciously, but they did not dare to throw the tablet out.
After all, the information introduced in newspapers is limited. Many times, concepts such as movies and radio stations are flashed across, but they still don’t know what they are, let alone tablets.
After playing the video again, although the two of them were a little surprised that the tablet could record human voices, they had no doubts about Chen Ye's identity.
The main thing is the way he appears on a plane, which cannot be imitated or learned by others.
"Hu County Cheng, ask everyone around to step back!
Imperial Master, the people below have never read newspapers and do not understand that airplanes can carry people. They are very offensive. I hope you will forgive me."
"It doesn't matter, Zhang Guowei, Gao Mingheng, the imperial edict has arrived, please accept it!"
"National Preceptor, do you think you would like us to prepare a little before receiving the order?"
"No need, this imperial decree is meant to be read in public.
The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, and he says, I am deeply..."
The main content of the imperial edict was to exaggerate the national defense. Gao Mingheng defended Kaifeng in February, leaving Li Zicheng to turn to the south and attack.
Then he scolded them for why there were no organized and effective counter-insurgency measures, why the number of refugees and epidemics increased.
"I am aware of the difficulties in preventing and controlling epidemic diseases in Henan. The prolonged drought has made it difficult for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, so I have specially allocated internal funds to support the people of Henan.
Under the guidance of the Imperial Guard, planes airdropped supplies. I invested two hundred thousand taels of silver and one hundred thousand dan of grain for disaster relief in Henan.
Your Majesty, you must carefully distinguish between disaster victims and rich peasants. Do not provide relief to the rich peasants, and do not leave out the victims! We must help when needed and punish when punished!
You also want to tell the people of Henan that I have not forgotten them! The Ming Dynasty has not forgotten them! My relief money and food are here!
At the same time, the Royal Army will dispatch a regiment of special operations soldiers to cooperate in exterminating the rebels and returning the people's livelihood as soon as possible.
If any group dares to block disaster relief, hoard goods and raise prices, embezzle disaster relief materials, or engage in mutiny, they are making an enemy of the Ming Dynasty court and the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they are not giving the people of the Ming Dynasty a way to survive!
Such acts are uniformly regarded as rebellion, and the Royal Army will be merciless and attack any rebels with thunderous force.
Zhang Yuji and Gao Pingzhong, you must fulfill your duties and take charge of the prevention and control of epidemic diseases, disaster relief and people's relief, and provide relief through work.
Detailed arrangements will be explained separately by the National Defense Council. After the radio station is connected, you must communicate closely with the cabinet of the capital.
If you have benefited the people, you will definitely be appointed to the cabinet, return to the capital, be promoted, and be awarded a title.
In the 14th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, on June 26, Xin Si Ren Shen.
Emperor Chongzhen made it himself!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
"The imperial court has allocated money and food! The imperial court has allocated money and food!"
It was also the first time for the government officials who were watching around to watch the issuance of the imperial edict. They did not expect to hear such exciting news.
