Chapter 231: The snow disaster is ruthless, wild hope
In the wind and snow, Yingtian Mansion with yellow tiles and red walls was also covered with a thick layer of silver.
There was a frozen ice condensed by the melting water of the wind and snow, reflecting the anger on Zhu Yuanzhang's face. No one knew how long the King of the King had been standing at the door.
The servant behind him was wearing thin clothes and holding a paper umbrella, trembling with panic on his face.
As for the other servants, they hid aside with their eyebrows down and did not dare to make any noise.
The snow was covered with officials in various robes, constantly touching the ground with their heads and begging. The Jinyiwei behind him coldly grabbed the officials lined up on the bench and then hit the whistle stick on their butts.
No mercy in terms of high and low status.
In the snow, Li Shanchang wanted to say something but stopped, but in the end he didn't say much.
He turned around and left the Duke's Mansion under the escort of his servants. Li Shanchang brought a message to his family and donated half of his property to those homeless refugees.
Zhu Yuanzhang just quietly looked at the wind and snow floating in the sky, his eyes were a little sluggish, and his ears automatically filtered the officials' begging for mercy, but he seemed to hear the lonely and helpless wailing of the people outside the palace wall.
The sound of the sound of the heart.
The howling snow made Zhu Yuanzhang's tall body bent a little.
It seems that I have returned many years ago.
One year, there was a severe drought and the grain of my hometown was not harvested. My parents died of famine and wandered around in a foreign land. They first became monks for two years and beg for half of the southern China.
What I fear most is this bad weather.
Especially the wind and snow.
It's so irritating that I can't even find sweet potatoes that are about to rot in the field.
The thin cold clothes cannot cover any cold air at all. With a slight movement, the cold wind can cut the robe and rush into the body.
If you don't move, you will completely freeze to death.
Many of my friends who escaped from famine in an alley died in this cold winter.
Not to mention the refugees and beggars who live in a place without a fixed place, even the kind of people with houses and pitiful people who often die in the collapse of houses.
Back then, Zhu Yuanzhang made a vow early that even if he died without a burial place, he would smash this hateful world.
Former Zhu Yuanzhang talked about this issue with the young handsome guy around him more than once, and was deeply proud of his own goal.
Only the new young man sneered at his thoughts.
The words that I said that I was surrounded by people who were seeking welfare for the people were even more contemptuous.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very annoyed and became popular on the spot, asking the young man to tell him what he was saying, otherwise he would have beaten his butt.
The young man told a story.
It was said that a long time ago, I don’t know what dynasty it was. A black scale dragon came from the Central Plains, causing bloody storms everywhere, and captured the emperor’s daughter and stolen treasures from the palace and the people.
The emperor's army fought against the evil dragon several times, but they all returned without success. The people were suffering and lived all day long under the fear of the evil dragon.
Finally one day, a brave soldier stepped forward. When he saw the people displaced and their families were destroyed, he angrily mentioned the legendary dragon-slaying sword and rushed into the evil dragon's nest alone.
The battle was very difficult, and the brave had many opportunities to escape, but the righteous heart allowed him to persevere, and finally defeated the evil dragon!"
Zhu Yuanzhang still remembers the scenes of those young people who don’t know what they say are disdainful.
Such absurd stories can be seen everywhere among the people, and even Zhu Yuanzhang could tell a few at will.
But he remembered the boy's expression suddenly became solemn.
"The brave man cut off the evil dragon's head and rescued the princess who was stolen by the evil dragon.
The original intention is to send the princess back to the emperor and distribute the treasure of the evil dragon to the suffering poor.
However, when the brave man saw the amazing beauty of these girls and the mountain of treasures of evil dragons, he suddenly hesitated.
The emperor's princess is more beautiful than any girl the brave have ever seen.
These treasures were stolen by the evil dragon for many years, gathering the wealth of half of the country. The brave man had never seen so many treasures in his life! The brave man stood on the mountain of treasures and used the dragon-slaying sword to force the princess not to leave. He wanted to take all of this for himself.
Gradually, scales, horns and wings grew on the body of the brave, and he turned into a new evil dragon!”
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it now, this kid was so terrible. He knew that he might not like to listen to something, but now he thought about it, he was indeed a real insight.
It's just this slippery boy, why don't you tell me?
Thinking about it, as he said, many people have indeed become the ones they hate the most after they have lost their original passion.
When we were conquering the world with ourselves, everyone had ideals and thought about exorcising the Tartars, restoring China, and allowing the Han people to live a good life.
It was with them following them, they became high-ranking officials and promoted to high positions.
But few people remember their original ideals.
They own countless fertile land, countless houses, and countless child servants and slaves in their families, but who cares about the lives of the people?
Yesterday, the Jinyiwei came to report that last night, the wind and snow, Yingtian frozen to death by more than a thousand people, and countless people were injured.
There were countless refugees who came from all directions because they heard rumors about themselves, hoping to save their lives under their rule.
After Zhu Yuanzhang took a lot of inventory overnight, he found a painful fact that many grains in the warehouses were greedy.
Because Junshan established a route in Nanyang, Shen Wansan not only transported a large amount of tobacco, he also placed orders in Nanyang and purchased grain according to Zhu Zhen's requirements.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang not care about his own storage at all, and was more willing to spend the finances obtained in the war to buy these cheap food.
The food saved was originally used by Zhu Yuanzhang in his future Northern Expedition.
But when he was facing the famine and was about to take it out, the food disappeared.
Yuanzhang killed more than a hundred corrupt officials that night, and now the one who kneels not far away from him is just an involuntary person. Although he is not the mastermind, he is also a bastard who takes advantage of it, turns a blind eye and closes his eyes.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt extremely sad because of his negligence.
At this point, I can't even compare to Zhu Zhen, who is the "mountain king" in the mountains.
In Xuyi, only a hundred people were frozen to death.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, everyone deserves to die.
It’s me, but I can’t kill them all. At this critical moment, if I kill them all, who will do things for me?
Not to mention Zhang Shicheng, even these anxious officials and local tribes can kill themselves.
But if I can't save these people, what have I insisted on over the years?
These poor people have worked hard for so many years and finally only want their family to live a life of food and clothing. However, in the end, whether it is natural disasters or man-made disasters, they can easily take away their lives.
Even if you work harder and work harder, you will finally build a huge empire.
It was just a group of borers. These people were still at the mercy of others, and no one cared about their life or death.
This is true, why are you still fighting hard?
Yuanzhang pushed away the attendant who was holding an umbrella for him and let the wind and snow fall on him, and suddenly felt in a daze.
From time to time, officials fainted in the wind and snow, but Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to look at them.
*************************quilt
Hu Dahai's disciples cursed, and Zhu Zhen was indeed a little angry.
Speaking of Hu Dahai, Zhu Zhen really admired this guy. His only son took advantage of his ability to lead his troops and still dared to commit crimes against the wind and make wine. Zhu Yuanzhang was pissed off his neck.
But Hu Dahai knew about this. Although he had spoiled his son in the past, he still gritted his teeth and insisted on fighting on the front line and did not express any opinion on this matter.
And after learning that Yingtian was in danger and Junshan had no soldiers, he immediately stood up and accused him.
If a person of a species does not die, he will break through the limit in the future and it is not impossible to be a king.
In the morning, Zhu Zhen saw Zhang Lingfeng walking towards him with a dull face. Thinking of the child in her belly, Zhu Zhen was not willing to talk to her about war.
After finding a reason, he left the Baron's Mansion with his personal guards and went to Junshan to inspect.
It has been a while since Zhen moved out of Junshan, and the production of Junshan has begun to recover. In order to cope with the cold winter, Junshan has produced a large number of stoves. Coupled with coal cakes, it can allow an ordinary family to live a warm winter.
The coal mines in the south are not rich in resources, so we need to find a way to buy them from the north.
In addition, Junshan's cigarette business and clothing factory also started his machine, and vendors from all over the country gathered at the foot of Junshan, and Xuyi became particularly prosperous.
Zhen is now ready to open Dangtu County (Ma'anshan). When Dangtu is opened on a large scale by itself, it will definitely become a huge urban agglomeration under its own rule.
Although I don’t compete to dominate the world at that time, I am definitely one of the most powerful people in the world.
And even after Zhu Yuanzhang tried the benefits brought to him by the military mountain system, this visionary monarch would definitely not have known to suppress business just like in history.
And he will definitely break away from his eyes and observe the whole world with himself.
At that time, any surrounding countries that covet the Central Plains must tremble under the oppression of huge capital.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang knew that if you want to fight for dominance in the world, you must first farm.
And why don’t I know?
Zhu Yuanzhang could only conquer the Central Plains when he farmed.
The fields they planted themselves can allow Chinese children to conquer the entire Great Six, and even let warships float on the sea.
It is not impossible to imagine an empire that never sets so much.
What kind of benevolence, righteousness, let alone world peace. When you have the ability to not possess it, no one will pity you when you are weak! This is the law of the jungle. Lions and tigers must follow, hyenas and jackals must follow, and humans of all spirits must follow!
Life is in trouble?
Fire is flying? Zhu
Zhencai doesn't care.
After I die, I don't care about the flood...
