Zhu Yunxi still underestimated Zhu Yuanzhang's concern for the people.
On the second day, an edict was issued. Yin Hu Zhishan of Yingtian Prefecture was punished with a three-year salary penalty because his resettlement of the refugees was unfavorable, causing the people to beg and become beggars.
In the Huaixi garrison, due to insufficient relief, the people were displaced. More than a dozen officials were rounded up and sent to Yunnan. There was even a prefect who, because the accounts were unclear, was directly handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for discussion. Waiting for him, he will be executed after the fall.
.
A few days later, Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yuanzhang climbed up the city wall of Yingtian and watched General Lan Yu lead tens of thousands of Ming tigers and tigers out of the wall. On that day, because the elite of the Ming Dynasty went out to fight, the capital was full of people who wanted to see the heroic figures of the Ming Dynasty men.
common people.
Before leaving, Lan Yu and the generals knelt three times and kowtowed nine times in the direction of the imperial city. Tens of thousands of Ming Dynasty athletes shouted in unison that the Ming Dynasty was victorious.
At that time, Zhu Yunxi noticed that Zhu Yuanzhang's body hidden under the dragon robe was unusually tall and straight. His face was full of nostalgia for the prosperous years and the expectation of blood, fire, rivers and mountains.
The days that followed went by quietly like flowing water.
Zhu Yunxi read, wrote, practiced martial arts every day, bragged and spanked with the young princes in school, and was closely dependent on his two young sisters at home. He ate meals with Zhu Yuanzhang every day, and even when Zhu Yuanzhang met with ministers, he
Everyone will be listening on the sidelines.
When not dealing with political affairs, the grandfather and grandson were either walking in the imperial garden, or doing farm work in the palace on the two acres of land planted by Zhu Yuanzhang himself.
In short, things are developing in a direction that is beneficial to Zhu Yunxi. The relationship between him and Zhu Yuanzhang is getting better and better, and the old man is even somewhat inseparable from him.
Because when he was with this grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang could always smile from the bottom of his heart. He could always see in this child his high-spirited and daring temperament when he first ascended the throne as emperor.
At the same time, Zhu Yunxi's filial piety and sincerity also deeply moved him.
There were vague rumors in the court that Wu Wang Zhu Yunxi was the emperor's grandson selected by the emperor.
But Zhu Yunxi is not complacent. He is now just the emperor's grandson that Zhu Yuanzhang likes. His status has not yet been determined. He is now just an empty king of Wu with no power.
Now he still needs to be modest and cautious. Only when he truly becomes the emperor's grandson can he realize his ambitions and truly gather a force that belongs to him around him.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang issued another decree.
In October, the emperor has a long life, and vassal princes from all over the country can return to Beijing to celebrate his birthday. However, the number of people accompanying them cannot exceed 200, and the officials along the way must not make trouble to receive them, and the food used must be simple.

The sunshine in June is warm.
In the afternoon, summer bugs chirp quietly among the green grass.
Zhu Yuanzhang was like an ordinary old farmer, sitting on a deck chair, fanning himself with the straw hat in his hand, and smiling at Zhu Yunxi who was working clumsily in the crop field.
This is a paddy field in the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty.
Even after becoming emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget his identity as a farmer. He planted two acres of land with his own hands and never tired of it.
The paddy fields were full of water. Zhu Yunxi stepped barefoot in the muddy water, one foot deeper and one foot shallower. He had to try his best to maintain his body balance and not step on the thriving seedlings.
The agriculture of this era was far less developed than that of later generations, and we could only rely on manpower to eliminate weeds in the fields. However, the ecology of this era was particularly good. From time to time, frogs jumped out of the water in the two acres of paddy fields, and tadpoles swam around Zhu Yunxi's feet.
Hey, you stupid porcelain, if you know it, you think you are pulling weeds, but if you don’t know, you think you are picking radishes?
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the clumsy Zhu Yunxi and laughed loudly. The joyful smile made the wrinkles on his face bloom, like a kind old man.
Farming is much more difficult than studying and practicing martial arts. It has been almost three months since he came to this world, and Zhu Yunxi's physical fitness has been greatly improved. However, every time he works in the fields for a while, he will suffer from back pain.
After hearing his grandfather's teasing, Zhu Yunxi turned around and smiled, then bent down to fight with the weeds in the paddy field, but his fingers suddenly touched something hard.
When I picked it up and took a look, I was instantly happy.
Grandpa Huang! Zhu Yunxi raised the thing in his hand and turned around and shouted, "Look, snails!"
Are you fat? Zhu Yuanzhang immediately sat up, walked to the paddy field with his cloth shoes, and said with a smile, if he is fat, he will grab a plate and we will eat snails later!
Okay! Zhu Yunxi smiled and touched the paddy field.
Oops, our eldest grandson! Why are you so stupid? Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and threw off his shoes and entered the paddy field. Let me tell you, when your grandfather was a child, children from eight villages in ten miles touched the snails, and no one could touch me!
As he said that, Zhu Yuanzhang grinned and looked, there it is!
Grandpa Huang, that's awesome! Zhu Yunxi was immediately flattered, and then exclaimed like a child, Grandpa Huang, there are still small fish in the paddy field!
Catch it, fry it and eat it, it's so delicious! When he was happy, Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth came out with Huaiyin from novels to adults.
The sun is setting in the sky, and my eyes are filled with summer red.
The golden afterglow falls on the earth, and the world is full of gold.
The golden light passed through the leaves and fell on the bamboo mat of the dining table in the forest.
Simple meals are placed on the simple wooden table.
The rice was harvested from the paddy fields in the palace last year. It is crystal clear and full of elasticity.
The dishes were a plate of fried snails with ginger and garlic, a plate of fried golden fish, a plate of fried shrimps with garlic sprouts, and a plate of Zhu Chongba's favorite fried radish and bacon.
After working for a long time, Zhu Yunxi was tired and hungry.
He had already figured out Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament. As an imperial grandfather, he hated the fear of his children and grandchildren. In his eyes, a good man is a man who devours everything.
So the two men had just finished cooking. Zhu Yunxi first served Zhu Yuanzhang the rice and then poured him a small cup of wine.
Then I poured the oily soup from the fried bacon on the rice and ate it in big mouthfuls.
Huchi! Huchi! Fragrant!
When you take one bite, the flavors of meat oil and rice blend perfectly in your mouth, and your face is full of satisfied pleasure.
Eat more, eat more! Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and gave Zhu Yunxi a piece of three-layered bacon.
Grandpa Huang, you eat too! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
Let's drink first! Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly, moved his white eyebrows, then picked up a snail and ate it happily.
His movements were very skillful. After two soft sounds, the snail meat entered his mouth. Then he picked up the wine cup and took a small sip.
After that, he picked up a small golden fish, bit off the head in one bite, and chewed it in his mouth.
Eat deliciously, smile from ear to ear, it tastes good!
In the distance, Xu Xingzu, the imperial cook who had served Zhu Yuanzhang for more than ten or twenty years, was smiling so hard that he could not see his teeth.
He was a cook in the army, and it was far easier for him to prepare these home-cooked dishes for the common people than for the royal family.
Grandpa Emperor, be careful of the thorn! When Zhu Yunxi saw Zhu Yuanzhang stuffing a fish into his mouth and chewing it, he quickly reminded him.
You grew up in the palace and don’t understand anything! Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, the thorns of the small fish in the paddy fields will become crispy when fried in oil!
As he spoke, he seemed to be lost in memories. The fish in our hometown were so good! When we were young, we would follow behind my elder brother and get up before dawn with a wooden bucket, looking for loaches, small fish, and eels! Haha, every time.
Grab half a bucket, and when you go back, add some oil and stew it, oh! What a taste!
When people get old, they always like to reminisce about the past. When people get old, they especially miss the past and home.
Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and laughed softly, "Grandpa Emperor, how about your grandson accompany you and go back to your hometown to see you sometime? Then, your grandson will catch fish for you personally!"
If you don’t go back, you will be wasting people and money!
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly, with sadness in his tone. Besides, others can't make that taste!
No one else can taste my mother's taste.
Zhu Yunxi was always thinking about his mother, the rice she cooked and the dumplings she made.
Grandson! Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again, this meal looks simple to you, but when we were young, we could only eat it if we were in good years! Even if we had it, we couldn't eat it with open stomachs.
It’s Chinese New Year, and your great-grandfather made a piece of fatty pork as big as a palm. He sacrificed it to his ancestors first, and then divided it among our brothers. Your great-grandmother and several aunts could only watch and couldn’t eat any of it!
At that time, your great-grandfather always said, next year! Next year, you must make more meat so that both your son and your daughter can eat it!
In the coming year, your grandfather will work harder! He will sleep later than a dog and wake up earlier than a chicken! The family is also looking forward to a good harvest in the fields!
But the harvest was good and the land rent was high. After giving it to the employer and the government, my family was still hungry and full.
At midnight, the brothers were all hungry and their stomachs were growling!
Zhu Yunxi listened silently, listening to the memories of the old man in front of him.
But even so, your grandpa and grandma didn’t complain. The land should be cultivated and the grain should be paid.
Who would have known that God is not discerning. First there was a flood, and then there was a plague. There were several members of our Zhu family, and only your grandfather was left!
As he said that, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed a little emotional. I was about the same age as you at that time. I ran into the temple and became a young monk alone. When I was young, I was always bullied by my senior brothers. I worked the most and had the worst food. Later
Drive them out, the wandering alms all over the world!
In the end, I really couldn’t see anything to gain from, so I gritted my teeth and joined the Red Turban Army!
As he said that, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, "Grandma, shit, Dayuan won't let us eat enough, so I'll do it with you!"
The old man's emotional ups and downs were too harmful to his health. Zhu Yunxi quickly advised him, "Grandpa, it's all over!"
But we can’t forget it! Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him and said sternly, now our Zhu family dominates the world, but we can’t forget our origins at any time. Our ancestors have been poor for generations! Like all the poor people in the world, we work hard.
Work hard and tighten your belt!
We are poor, so we have to care about the poor. Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the food on the table, and people called me emperor. We have to be worthy of them, and we have to let them live in peace and eat peace in peace!
Zhu Yunxi stood up and said solemnly, Grandpa Huang, my grandson has remembered it!
