I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 711
But at this time, Yang Suwen seemed to be stupid, staring at the woman fiercely, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as not taking his eyes off.

The woman felt a little uncomfortable being watched by him, and just wanted to cough lightly to remind him.

Unexpectedly, Yang Suwen said to the woman with a trembling voice,

"Your natal family's surname is Chen, and your girlfriend's name is Run'er?"

The woman was also surprised when she heard the words, and asked in amazement,
"Who are you, how do you know my real name!"

After getting the answer from the woman, Yang Suwen fell to his knees with a thud, and while weeping bitterly, he rubbed forward and said,
"Auntie, I'm Suwen, Yang Suwen, the youngest son of your sister's family!"

The woman was none other than Chen Guiren who had ventured to write a letter to the queen at that time, and was once a concubine of Emperor Jianwen.

As if a long memory was awakened by this auntie, the woman was stunned for a long time before she said in disbelief,
"Are you asking?"

"That's right, aunt, I'm just asking, how old was I when I was back then, you went back to your natal family to visit your relatives, and you even hugged me."

Although the woman had basically confirmed that the handsome young man in front of her was her nephew, she still couldn't believe it.

"Haven't all of your Yang family been dispatched to Nuer Gandusi? Why did you appear here!"

Mentioning this, Yang Suwen's expression suddenly darkened.

"To tell you the truth, when all of us were dispatched to Nuer Gandusi, many of us couldn't stand the bitter cold and chose to escape one after another. My mother also joined in to prevent me from suffering."

"But I didn't expect that there was a lot of snow in that place, and there was not much warm time throughout the year. They were a large group of people, and they didn't escape for a long time. They were either caught back, or they froze to death and starved to death on the way to escape."

"Although my mother persisted for a long time longer than others, she finally collapsed due to exhaustion. Before she died, she entrusted me to a fellow countryman, which saved my life...

After that, those of us who escaped gathered together..."

Before she finished speaking, the woman was almost crying, she stepped forward to help Yang Suwen, and cried sadly,
"My poor sister, I didn't expect you to leave so early..."

The reunion of the two seemed to bring back memories of many people in the village, and everyone's eyes turned red.

Someone saw that it was a misunderstanding, and quickly said to the three of them,
"We blamed you all wrongly. Since you are relatives of Chen Guiren, you are our relatives. Come to the village!"

Only then did the woman realize that this was not the place to talk, so she hurriedly dragged Yang Suwen to her home.

At this time, the small village has long since lost its previous dilapidation, and has been renovated almost from the inside to the outside.

Although the woman's house is not very big, it is very tidy.

No matter how she said it, she was also a concubine. No matter how poor her life was, she never forgot her origin and glory. Even if her food and housing were not good, she never forgot to be clean and tidy.

The family was too small to entertain everyone, so the villagers sent several representatives to entertain the three distinguished guests.

When other people returned home, some brought some fruits, some brought some snacks, and after a while, Chen Guiren's hut almost couldn't fit it all.

The two chatted for a while, and Yang Suwen had basically figured out the basic situation of this Huangzhuang.

When they heard how miserable their lives were, Yang Suwen and Sun Ruowei seemed to be fighting against each other, and said angrily that they would definitely help them escape to justice.

But Chen Guiren hastily stopped them.

"It's true, you two children. What my aunt said was in the past. Now you can also see that since the workshop was built outside the village, the villagers first started doing odd jobs and basically managed to make ends meet. up.

Later, His Majesty ordered those cave dwellings to be built outside the village, and they were specially entrusted to us to take care of them.

You may not know that now the vegetables grown in a cave here can cost dozens of taels of silver. "

"Although most of them have to be handed over to His Majesty, each cave dwelling can still leave three or five taels of silver."

"There are two to three hundred such cave dwellings in our village. After one winter, the income is more than 1000 taels. On average, almost every household can get more than ten taels of silver.

With this money, don't just have a good year, even if there is no harvest next year, we won't be hungry. "

Hearing this, the anger between Yang Suwen and the two finally subsided, and she couldn't help silently applauding Li Tian's approach.

At the same time, Yang Suwen also understood why Li Tian asked them to come here to find the answer by themselves.

It turned out that he was telling himself and the others with facts that he had not treated any of them badly, and even brought them a better life that they had never imagined before.

Yang Suwen stepped forward to hold Chen Guiren's hand, and asked distressedly,

"Auntie, it must be very hard to take care of these greenhouses every day!"

Chen Guiren shook his head and said,

"Silly boy, you think too much. Each greenhouse only has less than one cent of land. You just clean up the weeds, water and fertilize it every day, which is similar to taking care of a small garden. It can be done in less than half a day, which is better than farming in the past. It's so much easier."

"Besides, there are several His Majesty here who have arranged for agricultural officials to help, so we don't need to worry about it at all.

This is His Majesty's kindness to us, even if we are a little tired, it is worth it! "

Seeing the joy in his aunt's heart, Yang Suwen was completely conquered by Li Tian's methods.

If it was an ordinary emperor, even if he knew that these people lived in poverty, at most he would reduce or exempt some taxes, or no one would reward him with a few taels of silver, that's all.

But Li Tian didn't do this. He didn't give them any direct financial assistance, but created a self-sufficient condition for them.

Allowing them to support themselves with their own hands not only fulfills the expectation of making their lives better, but also prevents them from feeling that this is a rare food, and gives great respect to their self-esteem.

This is what moved Yang Suwen the most.

He sighed secretly,
"It seems that I really misjudged you before, Emperor Zhu, you are a completely different emperor from your father, you are the Mingjun that this world really needs!"

Chen Guiren seemed to see that Yang Suwen had something on his mind, and she could probably guess what he was thinking.

But she didn't directly point out these things to him, but said to him with a smile,

"It's almost noon, you guys stay here for dinner, and let Auntie show you off. You must know that there are many places outside, but you can't eat the vegetables from our place!"
