After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 304 Mingling With the Common People

"Mr. Qin told us that the world will be peaceful when those court officials are no longer so superior and the common people feel that they are no different from the common people."

"When the people of the world fear a small official and feel that he can't be provoked, it proves that the court has a big problem."

"Now look at Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, these first-rank officials. They have all taken off their official hats and are washing potatoes like you all. What do you have to be afraid of?"

After hearing this, the common people boldly came over to help.

However, it still looks like walking on thin ice, timidly.

"Be more courageous, don't be so timid and fearful." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Sometimes you have to fight for a happy life on your own. If you are too courageous, you will only be bullied by others even more."

"Imagine if we didn't stand up and do justice back then, there would be no Daming today, and there would be no Han family."

"The emperor is wise." A commoner said.

"So, once you are bullied, you must stand up and report him and expose him." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The stability of the Ming Dynasty depends not only on the emperor and these civil and military ministers, but also on you ordinary people."

"You are also the masters of Daming, and you are also members of Daming."

"You can help us supervise the officials and prevent them from cheating. And together with us, civil and military officials, protect your homeland and happy life. Make a little effort for the great tomorrow, even if it is small."

"Grass people, obey the order!" The common people said one after another when they heard the words.

"Two tigers, prepare some tools for the people so that they can work beside us." Zhu Yuanzhang ordered.

"According to the order."

So a group of people came to Emperor Zhu one after another, boldly washing potatoes with the emperor and the queen.

"If you speak out for the injustice in the world, and the court and officials don't deal with it, then the court is not doing enough, and the court should rectify it immediately. But if you know something unfair, but dare not speak out, then it will encourage their Unhealthy tendencies." Zhu Yuanzhang continued to talk to the people, "Don't be afraid of us, we are only doing things for the benefit of the people of the world."

"The rumors you heard about Emperor Zhu's killings were all spread by corrupt officials. The more they spread like this, the more it proves their inner cowardice."

"Those who speak ill of us behind our backs are not good people. Because we have violated their interests, because we have prevented them from taking advantage of themselves and exploiting the common people."

"Your Majesty is right!" The common people said after hearing the words, "The more they scold him, the more they are afraid of him."

"The more corrupt officials fear the emperor, the better the people's life will be!"

"Whoever is famous all over the world must be slandering all over the world."

"An emperor who is not scolded is not a sage emperor."

"Because an emperor who is not scolded proves that he has not offended the interests of corrupt officials. If he cannot offend corrupt officials, then he can only abuse the people. Only when he abuses the people will there be no voice of scolding, because the people dare not scold at all. "

"Even if you are scolded, you can quickly suppress it."

"What you said is very reasonable, and you are very knowledgeable." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Look, there are many people of insight among the people of Ming Dynasty. Mr. Qin said long ago that the world will never lack talents. "

"Among you, you can easily find 'Han Xin' and 'Xiao He'."

"Hehe." The people laughed when they heard this.

"Many people in the world scold the emperor for killing people, but in fact, your Emperor Zhu treats you well." After hearing this, Empress Ma also said kindly to the people around her, "Think about it, did he treat you well a few years ago?" Like you, also a mud leg?"

"He's one of your own, if he doesn't treat you well, who will treat you well?"

"The empress is absolutely right." The common people said.

"When our family encountered a famine, the whole family was almost dead, and I was a beggar for several years. I was bullied by rich landlords and corrupt officials, and I knew very well the hardships of life for the common people." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "So we have a personal experience of the lives of the common people, and we feel the pain of the scourge of corrupt officials. We always remember that our roots are among you."

"That's why we are the only ones who can truly benefit the common people like you."

"If you don't even trust us, then there is no emperor you can trust. If you don't trust an emperor who came from a beggar, why should you trust an emperor who came from a wealthy family without suffering any hardships? Emperor?"

"We all trust His Majesty!"

"The emperor is the first genuine peasant emperor in all ages, and he belongs to us. The other emperors are all noble emperors, who belong to aristocratic families. If we don't believe in your majesty, who else can we trust?"

"The emperor was born in a slightly poorer background than us, and his family is much worse than ours. He even worked as a beggar. Now he is actually an emperor, the emperor of the ninety-five years, and the king of the world. It's amazing, it's really amazing!"

"The emperor can think about what the people think, and is anxious about what the people are anxious about. He is really the most sage and good emperor throughout the ages!"

"Those who scold the emperor for killing innocent people behind their backs, let's just treat them as farting."

"It is a blessing for the people of the world to let a farmer like Your Majesty be the emperor."

"The world is based on agriculture, and it is orthodox for farmers to be emperors."

The people heard the words and said one after another.

An hour later, more than 1000 catties of potatoes were finally washed and cut.

On the ground at the gate of the palace, there was a piece of mud and sewage.

Erhu led the Jinyi guards and went forward to clean the ground.

"Liu Bowen." Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and called.When he was working, he was still a mud-legged farmer, but the moment he stood up, he instantly regained the boundless arrogance of an emperor, the majesty of decisiveness, and the boldness of fighting everywhere.

"The minister is here!" Liu Bowen was wearing a white underwear, and before he had time to change into his official uniform, he immediately stepped forward and respectfully received the order.

"Divide these potatoes into [-] parts and send them to the various provinces of Ming Dynasty urgently." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "I told the chief ministers of those provinces to find a place to plant the first season. After the first season is harvested, Continue to use it as seeds and distribute it to more people.”

"Strive to plant potatoes in all places in Ming Dynasty within one year."

"Minister, obey the order!" Liu Bowen said.

……

a few days later.

Royal study.

"My Majesty, according to Jiangxi Jinyiwei's secret report, Song Chuyu, the chief minister of Jiangxi Province, stole ten catties of potato seeds." Erhu walked in and reported, "He told his family that he had never seen potatoes before, and the emperor had eaten them before. The queen has eaten it, but he has not. As a member of the party, he should also try something new, so he secretly hid ten catties for his family to eat without telling everyone."

"That night, he asked the cook to make hot and sour potato shreds, and the family ate very happily."
