Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Chapter 423: The city wall of the old Yuan Dynasty has been repaired, but how will the people make a living in the future?
The restoration project of Yingtian Prefecture's city wall really went through some twists and turns.

Just like a ship tossed in the stormy waves, it finally reached the shore temporarily in an atmosphere of relief and emotion.

As soon as the city wall was repaired, the atmosphere of Yingtian Prefecture seemed to change instantly.

The public security, which had been in panic due to the collapse of the city wall, gradually returned to its former peace and tranquility.

Just like the muddy lake water, it slowly settles down and becomes clear again.

The lives of the people are finally returning to normal.

It was like a derailed train that was back on the smooth road.

Those people who were once displaced by the collapse of the city wall have finally found a place to settle down again with the careful resettlement of the government.

They were busy rebuilding their homes one by one. Their eyes showed longing for a new life and tenacity after going through hardships.

This matter was all thanks to the Prince of Jin, Zhu Gang. Now in the hearts of the people of Yingtian Prefecture, the name Zhu Gang has left a deep impression.

Anyone who mentions it will give a thumbs up and praise it.

Everyone knows that it was this Prince Jin who stepped forward when the city wall of Yingtian Prefecture collapsed and the people were in distress.

The momentum was like the scorching sun breaking through the clouds, dazzling and reassuring.

He led the people to overcome one headache after another, and repaired the city wall that protected their home, making it as strong as before.

On this day, Zhu Gang went to the palace to report to Zhu Yuanzhang on the progress of the Yingtian Prefecture city wall restoration project.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the dragon throne. After Zhu Gang entered the Fengtian Hall, he hurriedly bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be in good health!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and motioned him to stand up.

"Third brother, are you here today to talk about the restoration of the Yingtian City Wall?"

Zhu Gang replied "yes" and began to describe the whole project in detail.

From the initial chaotic situation after the collapse of the city wall, to how to organize manpower and allocate supplies, and then to overcoming numerous difficulties and finally completing the restoration.

The description was very vivid and Zhu Yuanzhang listened very seriously, nodding slightly from time to time.

After Zhu Gang finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang first looked satisfied and nodded slightly.

But before he nodded a few times, he frowned slightly again, and there was an unfathomable look in his eyes.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was still looking at Zhu Gang with a smile on his face at this time, there was something unsettling in that smile.

"Third brother, you really put a lot of thought into the restoration project of Yingtian City Wall this time.

These measures have made great contributions to the prosperity, stability and peace of our Ming Dynasty.

But don’t just think about building a good city wall!
Look at these three years, the people of Yingtian Prefecture have placed all their economic resources on the work related to the city wall restoration project.

Now that the project is over, you said their future livelihood is worrying, what can they do?
The foundation of our Ming Dynasty lies in these common people.

If they can't live a good life, how can the world be stable?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly when he said this.

Those sharp eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything were staring at Zhu Gang.

There was a look of reproach in his eyes, like two sharp arrows, shooting straight at Zhu Gang.

There was not only a hint of worry in his eyes, but also a bit of dissatisfaction.

Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously felt that when Zhu Gang was considering the project, he did not fully take into account the future living problems of the people. This was not what a vassal king should do.

When Zhu Gang heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he immediately became nervous.

He secretly thought that he had really put all his attention into repairing the city wall and had not really thought about the future livelihood of the people.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gang quickly lowered his head.

A look of shame appeared on his face and he felt remorseful in his heart. He blamed himself secretly, "Why am I so confused? Why didn't I think of this?" Zhu Gang's body was trembling slightly, and he didn't even want to raise his head to look Zhu Yuanzhang in the eye.

Just like a child who has made a mistake and is afraid to see the stern look of his parents.

He clenched the corners of his clothes tightly with both hands, making them wrinkled.

He showed his humility and guilt, as if he was waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's punishment.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted again, his tone becoming even harsher.

"As a vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, you must be able to protect your country and always keep the people's livelihood in mind.

You are only concerned about the city wall in front of you. If the people lose their livelihoods and cause chaos in the future, can you bear the responsibility?"

As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he stood up from the dragon throne and slowly walked to Zhu Gang.

She stared down at him, her eyes growing more stern.

Zhu Gang shrank back in fear, and quickly bowed again, saying with a trembling voice: "Father, please forgive me, I was indeed negligent.

I only wanted to repair the city wall as soon as possible to protect the capital, but I did not consider the future livelihood of the people. I know I was wrong. "

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped pacing and stared at Zhu Gang for a moment before returning to sit on the dragon chair and continuing, "Humph, it's good that you know you're wrong.

So tell me, what should we do about this matter now?"

Zhu Gang hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Father, I will go back and think of a solution. I will definitely find a new way for the people to make a living. Please give me some time."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Huh, I knew you would say that, but can this wait?
The people are counting on this to make a living, so you need to come up with a feasible solution as soon as possible."

Zhu Gang quickly responded, "Yes, I understand. I will do my best."

Just when the atmosphere was so tense that it was hard to breathe, Crown Prince Zhu Biao spoke up.

Zhu Biao was wearing a green robe today, which was embroidered with elegant cloud patterns.

As he moved, the cloud patterns seemed to float gently, giving people a fresh and elegant feeling.

Zhu Biao's face was as gentle as jade, and his eyes were full of concern.

He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Gang, hoping to reconcile the tense conflict between the two.

Zhu Biao bowed slightly and said in a calm tone: "Father, my third brother is also thinking about the defense of Ming Dynasty.

You see, repairing this city wall is of vital importance to the safety of the capital.

As for the livelihood of the people, I think we can make plans from other aspects.

For example, encouraging commercial development, this is a place with a large flow of people in the capital.

If business can be developed well, wouldn't the people have a new source of vitality?

There is also the reclamation of wasteland, which is used to plant crops.

As long as there is food, the people can live a more stable life."

After hearing what Zhu Biao said, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted again.

However, the snort he made this time was not as harsh as the one he made to Zhu Gang just now.

"Biao'er, you are always so kind!

How can things in this world be so easy?

Can business development be encouraged just by saying so?

Although the capital's business is bustling with people, various rules and forces are intertwined.

How easy is it to sort it out and let it develop well?
Reclaiming wasteland also requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and the results may not be as good as what the people gain from the city wall repair project.

Although your idea is good, it is difficult to implement it! "
