First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 117

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "Biao'er, you have never lived in your hometown. You don't understand. Our hometown is our root! Back then, we would not leave our hometown in Fengyang if we had a way to survive. We really couldn't survive anymore. Staying at home can only starve to death, so we came out. Shanxi is doing well now, and the people will only be willing to leave when they are crazy, and the only way is to let the army tie up their whole family."

Zhu Biao sighed. The first large-scale population migration in history was the southern migration of the Jin Dynasty. The second time was during the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty. A large number of northern residents went south to escape the war. The Kingdom of Jin established by the nation occupies the central and northern part of mainland China, and a large number of people moved to Jiangnan along with the defeated ruler.

In this way, it can be revealed that the Chinese people choose to leave their hometowns on a large scale under such terrible circumstances. Although they are not doing well now, it is also a peaceful era. The people in Shandong can make it through their efforts How could an old family be willing to go to a place with an uncertain future when they were full of food?

But for the sake of the overall situation, there is no other way. The population in other places is withered, and the living conditions in ancient times are poor. If the people do not hold together, they will not be able to develop.

Zhu Biao opened his mouth and said: "I want to take charge of this matter personally. It is of great importance at this time. I can feel at ease when I go to all parties. The local government offices will also do their best to work. If there are any problems, they can be resolved quickly."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned after hearing this: "No, Biao'er, it is absolutely impossible to do it beautifully at this time. If you want to satisfy all parties, even if the saint jumps out, it will not work. You can only come back after stepping on the mud."

Zhu Biao stood up and knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang: "This minister knows about it, and he is mentally prepared, but this matter is of great importance, and the younger brothers are still young. If the ministers are allowed to do it, the emperor may not be able to do it." Rest assured."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Do you know who we are going to ask to do this errand?"

Zhu Biao thought about it for a while and really couldn't think of it: "I can't guess, but I'm afraid this person's fate will not be very good."

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "Nearly 10 people are forced to relocate at a time, and at least thousands of people will die on the road, old and young, not to mention that no one may be forced to rebel. There will be more, when the time comes, officials in charge must be introduced to quell public grievances."

Zhu Biao did have the idea of ​​giving up in his mind. After all, once this matter is done, as long as something happens, he, the crown prince, will be responsible, and it will be left in the history books of later generations.

Since ancient times, everyone has attached great importance to their posthumous reputation, and they are afraid of being shamed by future generations, especially those saints who cherish feathers.

But Zhu Biao didn't care, there was nothing to be afraid of if he was dead, no matter how much the posterity scolded him, he really wanted to do something practical for the people and Daming.

Zhu Biao looked up at his father and said: "My son has been loved by his father since he was a child. He was established as the eldest son at the age of nine, and he was established as the crown prince at the age of 13. Although he has made achievements in recovering Yanyun and destroying Beiyuan, but My son knows very well that this was cultivated by my father, not my son's ability."

Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily: "What kind of talk is this! How can Bei Yuan be destroyed by ordinary people? If others don't know about your abilities, how can we as fathers not know?

Zhu Biao laughed and said, "I'm not doing it for anything else. I really think that I can do a lot of things. As long as it's beneficial to the country, it doesn't matter if I step on the mud. Father is stepping on the mountain of corpses with bare feet." Sea of ​​Blood didn’t come out and opened up Daming.”

Seeing that Lao Zhu smiled, Zhu Biao went on to say: "And this matter is also an excellent temper for my son. My son has studied hard since he was a child, and since he became a son, he has often followed his father to read the memorials. The more he reads, the more he feels paper If you can go to the local area to deal with such a big matter, you can learn a lot of principles of governing the country and the people."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his son with some surprise. He is a tough person and also a person with a strong desire to control. He wished to solve everything.

Thinking that we will take care of the world, and then set the rules for the children and grandchildren, so that the children and grandchildren can enjoy the rich food in peace and security.

Emperor Zhu stood up and looked at his son below. His eldest son was always his pride. He was smart, eager to learn both civil and military skills, and his tactics seemed to be given by heaven. He seemed to be a born superior.

Zhu Biao lowered his head and said, "I beg your father to grant you permission."

Zhu Yuanzhang went over and pulled his son up: "It is not necessarily a bad thing to step on the mud. If it can make you keep your feet on the ground, it is also a good thing to really get in touch with the people at the bottom."

Zhu Biao got up and said with a smile: "Thank you, Father, I will do my best to do this well."

Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his back and said: "Go down and get ready. You won't be here for a few days. You go to meet the imperial examination candidates who came over, and then prepare for your wedding. We plan to hold your wedding after the imperial examination."

Zhu Biao nodded in agreement, and then left the Imperial Study Room, with a smile on his face, heading towards the East Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the figure of his son and smiled, sat back on his seat and called for someone to come. After a while, Mao Xiang came in and knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's writing desk: "I respectfully listen to the sacred teachings."

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the memorial and said: "Two things, first go to the Ministry of Rites to inform the prince's wedding in advance, and choose the best day after the imperial examination. Another thing is to speed up the deployment of manpower to Shandong. Make sure that when the prince arrives, he can quickly grasp Shanxi. movements of all parties.”

Mao Xiang immediately bowed to promise, and after Zhu Yuanzhang probably finished handling the government affairs, he went directly to the Kunning Palace on Queen's Road. When he entered, he saw Queen Ma sewing something for him. Zhu Yuanzhang waved everyone to go down, and then stopped them. Queen to salute.

Pulling his queen to sit on the bed, Zhu Yuanzhang said cheerfully: "Today our prince has accepted a big job from us."

Empress Ma frowned upon hearing this: "Chongba, you can't get too used to Biaoer, he's a little too smooth, it's not a good thing."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "Others are begging us to give our son more chances, why are you still unwilling?"

Empress Ma said: "What else does he want to do at this age? He has military merits and a reputation as a scholar. Now is the time to learn how to deal with government affairs with An Xin."

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard his wife's words, he couldn't help being happy again, thinking, God will live up to me, Zhu Chongba, what more can I ask for from a wife, a virtuous son, a filial husband!

Empress Ma saw that her husband only knew Shale, so she gave him a slight push: "What kind of job does Biao'er want, in charge of the imperial examination? Or does he want to manage one of the six departments?

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head with a smile: "Neither, I will guess again, sister."

Empress Ma gave him a blank look: "You don't even allow me to inquire about the affairs of the court, how do I know what your father and son are planning. In short, you should think about it more, don't spoil your son all the time, if you want to be a good person in front of him , then you call him, and I will teach him a lesson."
