Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

Now that I think about it, I was indeed careless.

Putting aside whether women can hold up half the sky, the fact that they had bound feet and could not do heavy work reduced the labor force of the Ming Dynasty to a great extent!

Can you bear this horse riding?

He secretly kept this matter in mind and waved to Guo Yunhou.

"I actually forgot about this. In this case, let's find some easy jobs for those women."

"For example, weaving some wicker baskets, straw hats, or anything else is fine. Anyway, we have to get them moving!"

"Also, we can't leave those children idle. Find some educated people among the disaster victims and have them organize themselves to teach the children how to read!"

"If they learn well, we'll give them food. If they don't, we'll let them starve!"

"In short, although there is a natural disaster, I don't want to see a disaster victim doing nothing!"

"This person can't just sit there idle."

"Once you have too much free time, it's easy to cause trouble!"

Chapter 371 Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup

"Your Majesty has thought everything through. I, an old minister, cannot even begin to flatter you. I admire you so much!"

It was a rare opportunity for Wu Chunfu to flatter Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Youxiao was very surprised.

With money and food in hand, he no longer had to worry about disaster relief, which made him in a good mood. He looked at Wu Chunfu and smiled.

"My dear minister, you have come a long way and must have worked hard. I will have someone prepare some delicious food to entertain you."

Wu Chunfu thanked him happily: "It's not hard for me! I would like to thank Your Majesty for the banquet on their behalf."

"Take a good rest tonight, and start arranging the work-for-relief program tomorrow."

"My dear Mr. Guo, please cooperate with me."

“I obey your order.

Guo Yunhou watched from the side and felt a little sad in his heart.

When did this old man become so smart? He even learned how to pat a dragon's fart?

Nima!

The idea was proposed by me, and the money and food were also provided by me, so how come I ended up being a co-operator...

Is this even justified?

Zhu Youxiao had no idea of ​​the resentment in his heart and just waved at the two of them.

"Okay, let's all get down."

"Your Majesty, please leave!"

"Wait a moment!"

The two men had just turned around and taken a few steps when they were stopped, and immediately turned back and bowed.

"If there is anything else, please let your majesty know."

"By the way, Mr. Wu, you just happened to bring three fire bulls this time. It would be a waste if they were not used."

"How about this, you go find Dao Ji and ask him to send people to help find a few suitable places outside the city and dig a few wells, so as to solve the drinking water problem of the people in this area."

"As you wish, I will arrange it right away."

Looking at the two people's backs as they left, Zhu Youxiao rubbed his temples, feeling a little tired.

From checking on the victims and arranging accommodation for them early in the morning, to welcoming the grain team into the city and discussing the follow-up resettlement of the victims, it was already afternoon in the blink of an eye, and they never stopped for a moment.

The job of emperor is really not a job for humans!

"Your Majesty, have some tea to relieve your fatigue."

Wei Zhongxian handed over a cup of tea at the right time.

"This is the newly arrived Mansong tribute tea, which is pure, sweet and refreshing."

Zhu Youxiao took the teacup and felt its warmth. He opened the lid and a refreshing fragrance wafted into his nose, making him feel refreshed.

The fragrant tea tastes just the right temperature, sweet and delicious, and instantly relieves a lot of fatigue in the body.

Wei Zhongxian placed his hands on Zhu Youxiao's shoulders at the right time and pressed them gently.

Her tone was gentle and resentful: "Your Majesty, I have to say that you have been busy from morning till night since you opened your eyes, without taking a breath. You are too tired. I feel sorry for you when I see you!"

After Zhu Youxiao drank the tribute tea and had the massage, he immediately felt much more relaxed.

It has to be my great companion Wei!

Look and listen, he is capable, loyal and considerate, and speaks very gently. How can I bear to kill a baby like this?

And Wei Zhongxian behind him was also feeling very happy at this moment.

How long has it been since I have been able to serve the Emperor so intimately since the Emperor came back from Emperor Hongwu?

So I couldn't help but persuade him a few more times.

"Your Majesty is worth a million dollars, and you are the hope of hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty! These political affairs happen every day, and the ministers of various departments will handle them. Please don't work so hard like you did today."

Zhu Youxiao put down his teacup and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Hey!"

"I can put aside other matters, but I will not feel at ease if I don't watch over the disaster relief!"

Only he himself knew best that in history, the broken ship of the Ming Dynasty did not sink in the hands of foreign races, but sank in the hands of these people who had no food to eat!

Although Li Zicheng and others have been recruited by him for his own use, who knows if Wang Zicheng or Liu Zicheng will pop up again?

As long as the victims are not properly resettled, he will feel anxious and unable to let go!

Disaster relief is like putting out a fire. If there is any delay, more people will starve to death.

In this era, population is capital and the foundation of strength.

If we cannot ensure sufficient population, how can the Ming Dynasty’s first five-year plan be completed!

Seeing this, Yutong, who was standing by, rolled his eyes and immediately ran over with a smile.

Upon seeing this, Wei Zhongxian knelt down with a plop and said with a look of self-blame on his face.

"It's all because of my incompetence that His Majesty has to worry so much!"

Yutong beside him also knelt down: "This slave deserves to die!"

"Okay, I don't blame you!"

Zhu Youxiao smiled bitterly and waved at them.

"Everyone, please leave. I'm tired and want to sleep for a while."

"Yes!"

The two of them bowed and left.

After they left, Zhu Youxiao closed his eyes. He was indeed a little tired today.

When he opened his eyes again, he found Liu Yue sitting next to him.

From his perspective, the veil looked like white mist.

Beneath the mist, the mountain peaks are faintly visible, majestic, beautiful and lush.

The area under my head felt soft, so I must be resting my head on her legs.

It feels so nice to see such a beautiful view just after waking up!

"Ah! Your Majesty, you are awake!"

"Your Majesty, you must be hungry. I have prepared some Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup for you."

Zhu Youxiao felt that this angle was perfect. His big eyes blinked, but his body did not move at all.

Liu Yue noticed his gaze and her face turned slightly red.

"Your Majesty, aren't you hungry?"

"Hungry."

"Then your majesty, please get up quickly. I will feed you lotus seed soup."

Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Well, I like it very much!"

The lotus seeds are very smooth and bouncy.

I poked it with my hand, and it made a duangduang sound...

The Tremella is very soft, and with the addition of honey, it is smooth and delicious.

Scrape the surface with a spoon and you will get a lot of light white soup.

While eating, Zhu Youxiao suddenly had evil thoughts and reached out to flick the lotus seeds in front of him.

"It's uncomfortable to eat while sitting down. Help me up and go to the couch!"

Liu Yue blushed and had to do as she was told.

This Tremella and lotus seed soup is very delicate to make.

Lotus seeds are resistant to cooking, so they need to be put into the pot in advance.

In order to ensure the taste, stir back and forth with a spoon during the process.

When the lotus seeds are cooked and gradually expand, it is time to add the Tremella fuciformis.

The originally tight white fungus quickly became soft and smooth after being put into the pot.

As time passed, bubbles continued to rise in the pot and then burst.

A little bit of gelatin seeps out of the Tremella.

Let the whole pot of soup become thicker.

Until the fire is turned off.

When the soup stops boiling, squeeze some honey into it.

The taste is just right..........

Zhu Youxiao had just woken up and was full of energy. He ate the white fungus and lotus seed soup with great relish.

Half an hour later, Liu Yue was also tired and curled up under the quilt like a kitten.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and scratched her nose. She quickly buried her face in the quilt, but accidentally left her feet exposed.

Those little feet are not really big, but they are not as exaggerated as three-inch golden lotus either.

It’s about the same size as the palm of your hand.

The five toes are very tight, the sole of the foot is slightly deformed and bent inward, and some traces of long-term foot binding can be vaguely seen.

He couldn't help but shake it.

"what!"

Liu Yue screamed and quickly pulled her feet into the quilt, revealing her little head.

She begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please have mercy! Your Majesty, please have mercy! Let me rest for a while before coming back."

Zhu Youxiao: ...

He tapped her little head and said, "What are you thinking about? That thing is very valuable. I won't give it to you today."

Liu Yue had a complicated expression when she heard this, and she didn't know whether she was relieved or regretful.

"When did you start binding your feet?"

"ah?!"

Liu Yue didn't expect him to ask this. She was a little surprised, but still answered weakly.

"Um... Your Majesty, I started to bind my feet when I was four years old."
