Chapter 7

The banquet dispersed and the deep palace returned to peace again.

The autumn night wind blows the shadows of trees, and the green leaves fall silently on the stone slabs. It seems that the fallen leaves are afraid of the bleak autumn wind. After hovering on the ground for a few times, they stop in a place that is leeing.

Zhu Yuanzhang was still watching the memorial on the dragon throne. He, as an emperor, never had time to rest leisurely.

At the side door of the bedroom, Zhu Yunyu slowly came in holding a wooden basin that emitted the fragrance of medicine.

Grandpa, let’s soak your feet! Zhu Yunxiu smiled as she walked, adding blood-activating and blood-removing herbs to the hot water for soaking feet!

These things are done by the servants. You are so far away, go and rest! Zhu Yuanzhang put down his memorial and said, "There are so many things happening these days, and you are busy!"

Grandson is not tired! Zhu Yunxi smiled and rolled up the old man's trousers. What is the water temperature?

Hiss! The old man exhaled and smiled, comfortable!

This is a folk prescription, and it is said that foot soaking is the best. Zhu Yunxi continued to smile and said, "My grandson also brought you some Jiangxi specialty Magu wine to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, calm the mind and wake up the brain. From now on, you will drink a cup every day to ensure that your body is hard and strong."

The old man smiled so hard that his wrinkles were trembling. There was nothing in the palace. He came back from all the way and brought that thing!

When the people’s homes are home, the younger generations will bring some things to the elders when they come back from a long journey. This is filial piety. Zhu Yunxiu gently poured water on the old man’s calves. Although there is one in the palace, it is the heart of his grandson!

The old man sighed and smiled, and said with relief, "This man will not enjoy the blessings of his children and grandchildren until he is old." As he said, his tone was a little lonely, but after all, he is old, and I don't know how long he can enjoy this blessing!"

Life is reincarnation. When you are young, you will naturally have children and reward yourself when you are old.

But this kind of blessing and this kind of reward are a bit sad. Raising children means watching the children grow up day by day, getting married and starting a family and starting a career. Enjoying old age means waiting for death under the care of their descendants.

Although happy, it is also cruel.

Grandpa! Zhu Yunxiu smiled while washing, "You are strong and you have to live another fifty years!"

Fifty years? Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said that he was over 60 years old this year. If he lived for another fifty years, he would not be a monster. As he said that, he smiled again. In fact, we have already lived for a long time. Life is rare in seventy years, but it is not short of 60 years old!

In history, Zhu Yuanzhang was 71 years old when he died. This was considered the age of a long life among the emperors of all dynasties.

Seventy is not enough! Zhu Yunxiu smiled like he coaxed his grandfather in his previous life, and said, "You try to live until your great-grandson gets married and has children, and then grit your teeth and see another generation!"

Haha, that's pretty good! Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

Then, Zhu Yunyu took a hand towel and helped the old man dry the water from his feet, and replaced them with new shoes and socks.

Seeing his grandson busy working in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to speak, what did you learn this time when you went to Jiangxi?

Zhu Yunxiu kept helping the old man put down his trousers and said seriously that the administration must be guarded. The local officials in Fuzhou dared to take action on the money and food for disaster relief, and they colluded with each other, like catching rabbits, and caught one by one.

Well! Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. The disaster of administration is greater than that of foreign enemies!

Although the Ming Dynasty is now peaceful and peaceful, the people's lives are still difficult. Zhu Yunxiu continued to say that the capital is full of flowers and looks like a prosperous era. However, when a disaster occurs, the people will starve and be frozen. In the final analysis, the local area is insufficient reserves and not enough to respond!

You can see that this is not easy! The old man patted the stool beside him and asked Zhu Yunxi to sit down. Now it is just a prosperous country and the people are safe. It is far from the prosperous era. The country has a weak foundation and the people have a weak foundation. If you really want the people to live a good life, you must learn to hide wealth from the people!

Hug rich in the people is Zhu Yuanzhang's always ruling philosophy and highest goal.

In the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang personally formulated a policy of light taxes and levies. Not only did it collect less agricultural taxes, which were the pillars of the country, but it also collected very little commercial taxes.

Moreover, in order to cherish the people's strength, even minerals will not be mined. If the people mine secretly, the government must adhere to the policy of understanding people's livelihood and will not be strictly investigated.

These loose policies during the founding period laid the foundation for later economic prosperity.

However, from the perspective of his God's perspective, Zhu Yuanzhang's idea was good, but there was no unchanging policy. There were only policies of the times, and in an era without policies, more than two hundred years later, the Ming Dynasty was controlled by a greedy bureaucratic group.

Any emperor who wants to collect taxes will be retaliated by officials using the family rules of his ancestors. The country is getting poorer, while officials and local wealthy households are getting fatter, and even the finances go bankrupt, and even the military expenses cannot be paid.

Seeing Zhu Yunxiu thinking, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to say, "Hidden wealth for the people, the responsibilities are long, and grandpa may not be able to see them." This important task will fall on your shoulders in the future!

Grandpa! You still...as you said that, Zhu Yunyu suddenly realized.

He looked at the old man, who smiled and nodded at him. In an instant, Zhu Yunqiu felt his heart beating very hard.

Although he knew that the old man had already determined that he was the future heir. However, it was the first time that he had made such a clear statement.

In a few days, we will announce to the world. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slowly and said, "Let you be the grandson of the Ming Dynasty!"

Bang bang, Zhu Yunxiu heard his heartbeat.

Facing supreme power, no one could remain indifferent. At this moment, he felt a little dry and unable to speak.

This position is not easy to be used, and the Ming Dynasty's takeaways are not easy to take on! Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "Everyone says the emperor is good, but who knows it is difficult for the emperor? From now on, you will be alone and will face the country all your life, and you will have no choice but to do anything.

Grandson, our Zhu family is hard-won, it is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to maintain a business. Grandpa is old, and at most he can help you for a few more years. When grandpa leaves in the future, the country will fall on your shoulders. Can you do it well in the country and family affairs?

Facing the old man's gentle gaze, Zhu Yunxiu knelt in front of his knees and said solemnly, Grandpa, I can!

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and touched Zhu Yunxi's head. What grandpa liked you the most was your unscrupulous spirit.

As he said that, he sighed again. Don’t worry, grandpa will give you a country without any threats. You are waiting to be a emperor of peace, you just need to take care of the people!

I am not afraid of threatening my grandson. Zhu Yunxiu said seriously, grandfather chose me, and grandson not only wants to take the Ming Dynasty's family well, but also bring the Ming Dynasty into prosperity.

Get up! Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Get up and sit beside us. If there are no outsiders, we are both men and men. Don't kneel down at any time!"

After Zhu Yun's rise, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and all the silent and solemn palace ladies in the corner of the bedroom went down.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again, "We are the only ones, now we are the ones, let's say a few words to our hearts."

What grandpa wants to say? Zhu Yunxiu actually understood it in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.

The threat from foreign enemies will be solved by the Ming soldiers. You are the orthodox grandson, and no minister dares to disobey you. What we want to ask you is, if one day someone in our Zhu family threatens you, what should we do?
