Empress Ma's eyes were red, and she was as touched as Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi could only stand quietly behind their parents, looking at the golden grain fields.
They were not born in that era and could not experience the shock of such a harvest.
Zhu Yuanzhang would never forget that year…
When he was still in his teens, there was a plague and drought in Haozhou.
The government of the Yuan Dynasty was corrupt.
The food for disaster relief was deducted layer by layer!
When it was transported to the people, only a layer of grain shells was left!
His father starved to death, his elder brother starved to death, his elder brother's eldest son starved to death, and his mother starved to death.
That period of time was the most tragic period of his life.
They could only watch helplessly as their relatives starved to death one by one because they had no food.
In order to make a living, he even went to the temple to be a monk, but he was chased out within a few days.
If he had such a harvest back then, he wouldn't be like this.
Zhu Yuanzhang would never forget those days of hunger and cold.
Now that he was looking at the bumper wheat field in front of him, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not cry?
As his first wife, Empress Ma had accompanied him from the most difficult years to the present, so she could naturally empathize with him.
Zhu Yuanzhang wiped his tears and said three words.
"Good, good, good!"
"As long as the people can eat their fill, we will be happy!”
He was once a farmer, so his thoughts were simple.
He wanted to let all the people in the world eat their fill and not let what he had experienced back then happen again!
Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down.
He had once again turned back into that mighty emperor.
"Let's continue forward."
After returning to the carriage, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer had the grief from before. His mind was also working.
It was not difficult for him to think that the reason why the farmers could have such a good harvest must have something to do with the county magistrate of Pei County, Meng Yin!
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up with interest.
He wanted to see just how many more surprises this Meng Yin could give him!
.......
Very quickly.
Zhu Yuanzhang and the others in the carriage could already see the county town in front of them. There were more people nearby.
"Pei County's gate is in front.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's caravan gradually approached the county gate.
This place was like an ordinary county. The walls were simple and unadorned, and there was nothing special about them.
However…
A group of people standing outside the county gate attracted their attention.
The few people in this team were dressed in constable uniforms and stood as straight as a pine tree. They did not move even under the scorching sun.
However, her eyes were full of vigor.
They were all of similar height and build.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the disguised guards in his caravan.
He instantly revealed a look of disdain.
The Divine Arms Battalion had been brought out for a round, but in the end, they had been defeated by a constable from a small county.
"Father, these constables don't look any weaker than the soldiers of our Great Ming Army.”
"It's too much of a waste to let them stand here and guard the door.”
"Besides, there are still a few of them. If they were brought back to the army and nurtured, they would definitely be good!”
Zhu Xiong said.
He would become a vassal of Xi'an in the eleventh year of Hongwu next year, so he was naturally more concerned about these things.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak.
He was born an emperor on horseback, so he could naturally tell that the constables guarding the door were good seedlings!
After a few years of nurturing, he might even become a brave and good general!
Thinking of this…
Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that Meng Yin, the county magistrate, had allowed such good constables to guard the door.
What a waste of talent!
He, Zhu Yuanzhang, cherished talent the most in his life.
The carriage arrived at the county gate.
One of the constables extended a hand and signaled for them to stop the car.
"Everyone in the carriage, please come down and be investigated.”
"Where did you come from? Where are you going? What are you doing in Pei County?"
Hearing that, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others had no choice but to get off the carriage.
"Ying Tian came. I heard that there's good business here, so I came to take a look.”Zhu Yuanzhang continued to size up the constable.
The constable nodded and followed the rules to check the convoy.
When he saw the valuable goods that the convoy was carrying, the expression of the leading constable suddenly changed. He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said,"The entire caravan is yours?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned.
The constable's eyes seemed to have some hatred for the rich.
The imperial guard at the side seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with the constable. Then, he narrowed his eyes and silently took a few steps forward, protecting Zhu Yuanzhang behind him.
However, at this moment, the leader of the constables said,"Seeing that you are rich, I want to give you some advice.”
"See?"
"After entering the county gate, go straight along the east side. That street is full of high-end inns specially for rich people like you. Although it's a little expensive, it's definitely worth it!”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.
"High-end inns are specially provided for the rich?”
Seeing that he seemed interested, the constable continued to tell him.
"That's right. Since you came to Pei County, you should know the division of places here first.”
"The east is for accommodation, the south is for eating, drinking, and playing. The west is for shopping. If you want to find the government, go to the north.”
"If you want to invest and do business, go over there and look for our county magistrate."
This was the first time Zhu Yuanzhang had seen such a thing in his life.
When they entered the county gate, the city guard constable introduced the local environment to them.
He didn't give her money back then.
Interesting.
Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard.
The constables had already begun to urge them.
"If there's no problem, you can go in.”
"Alright, next!"
........
The group passed through the county gate and entered Pei County.
However, after a few steps, his eyes widened.
On the street that was filled with the smell of fireworks.
Everyone's face was filled with smiles that could not be seen on the faces of commoners in other places.
It could be seen that the lives of the people here were really very happy.
"Come, come, come, it's time to read my fortune…You're not allowed to do it for free!"
"He's going to perform his unique skill for everyone! Everyone who is passing by, if you have money, you can support a rich event. If you don't have money, you can support a person!”
"Selling pancakes…It was so delicious that she couldn't stop! If you can't buy it, you won't suffer a loss or be fooled!"
“……”
Zhu Yuanzhang and his group were walking on the street.
It feels like a lifetime ago
There were all kinds of shops on the street.
Under the stone bridge, there were young men and women who had arranged to row a boat.
There were all kinds of industries here.
Even the flags of brothels and gambling dens were hung high, as if they were afraid that people would not see them.
"This…"
"Is this still a small county?”
"It's actually so prosperous!"
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and was extremely moved.
This kind of happiness was silent and always by his side.
"Empress, if we could have lived here back then, why would we have revolted?"
Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Empress Ma and sighed.
