Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Datong Fucheng, outside the east gate.

The magistrate of Datong took all the important officials of Fucheng and stood at the gate of the city, waiting for someone.

People came and went at the gate of the city, and there were countless people entering and leaving the city. This scene was naturally noticed by others.

"What's going on, why did Fu Zun go out of the city to wait for someone in person, is there any important person coming?"

A person next to him said mysteriously: "Nonsense, isn't this obvious? You just look at this posture, and all the high officials in our Datong have arrived. This shows that the people who came must not be simple."

Seeing that he seemed to know something, everyone couldn't help pricking up their ears.

I want to hear what this guy knows.

"Who is here, who can alarm so many officials."

The man smiled: "Of course it is..."

He deliberately paused while talking, and when everyone was sick and this guy could say something earth-shattering, this guy suddenly said: "A senior official who is bigger than our Datong prefect."

The people around were speechless at the same time.

"If you don't know, you don't know. What are you pretending to do? It will delay my going to the city to buy food."

"I don't know what the imperial court thinks. For four taels of silver and one stone of grain, these rice grains are worth more than gold."

"If it wasn't for the famine, I wouldn't have bought such expensive food even if I starved to death."

But among the common people, there are some who think deeply.

"Be content. Although food is expensive now, you can still buy food anyway."

"A few days ago, the government restricted the price of grain to prevent those profiteers from selling high-priced grain. What happened? There was no grain to buy."

"Those black-hearted grain shops all said that they had no food, and they only sold a little bit every day, but they couldn't buy food if they went late."

Another person also gritted his teeth and said: "There is no grain in the grain store, but the grain on the black market has already been bought for three taels of silver. It's better to be like this now, at least grain can be bought in the grain store."

This statement also caused dissatisfaction among many people.

"You are so interesting. The government has sold the price of grain to the sky, and you still speak for the government."

"During the famine, the government raised the price of grain. This is really the first time I've heard of it. Our Ming Dynasty can be regarded as creating a new atmosphere."

It was a bit too much to say this for a long time, and many people around changed their faces all of a sudden.

The ordinary people who had gathered together and chattered in a hurry, broke up with a huff.

The drought in Datong is still going on at this time, and the sun is so hot that it seems to be directly on fire.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the person who was waiting still did not show up.

Wu Zhen was already sweating profusely, and the government office was almost washed away by his sweat.

An official next to him swallowed hard: "Fu Zun, why hasn't His Royal Highness come here yet?"

That's right, the person who can make all the high-ranking officials in Datong put down their work and come to welcome him is the King of England, Zhu Han.

"It should be here soon, just wait."

Wu Zhen wiped the sweat off his face and said calmly.

Seemingly respectful and polite, in fact Wu Zhen has complained countless times in his heart.

Zhu Han used his status as a prince to force them to raise the price of grain in Datong to four taels of silver a stone.

This matter has already caused an uproar throughout Datong.

As a result, what Wu Zhen never expected was that Zhu Han was not only in Yanjing, but also dictating Datong.

This restless guy even came to Datong himself.

Wu Zhen even wanted to ask.

"His Royal Highness, do you think it's not enough to harm our Datong in Yanjing, and you must come here with a kiss and turn the whole Datong upside down before you are willing?"

Naturally, he didn't dare to express his inner thoughts, so Wu Zhen could only forcefully put on an official appearance, restraining the officials below over and over again.

But this is no trouble.

The one who came this time was His Royal Highness King Ying of Ming Dynasty.In Datong, no one dared not to give face to the King of England.

These people have been staring at it for more than an hour, and the King of England's car is long overdue.

The extremely gorgeous carriage stopped in front of all the officials of Datong Mansion.

Ying Wang Zhu Han pulled the curtain on the car door, and Shi Shiran got out of the carriage.

Seeing Zhu Han coming down, Wu Zhen took the lead and knelt down, and said loudly: "My official Datong prefect Wu Zhen, I have met His Royal Highness, King Ying, who is a thousand years old."

The other officials in Datong also knelt down and shouted at the same time.

"His Royal Highness, thousand years old, thousand years old."

In the past, Zhu Han hated this kind of thing the most, but he also knew that the things on these scenes were necessary in this era.

Usually he doesn't care, but as the prince of Daming, he has to uphold these rules in formal occasions.

"Get up." Zhu Han said lightly.

After Wu Zhen stood up, he hurriedly said respectfully: "My lord, I have already arranged a mansion for my lord, my lord can go to rest first."

"Also, the lower official has already had someone prepare a banquet to clean up the dust for the prince."

But Zhu Han waved his hand: "Now that the disaster in Datong is urgent, these things on the scene will be avoided."

"Now the king needs to know immediately the specific disaster situation in Datong."

"By the way, in order to deal with the disaster, my students have specially made an artifact, which can relieve part of the drought. At least, it can save most of the dealers."

"Immediately, I will call all blacksmiths with good craftsmanship in Datong. At the same time, I will find out that although Datong is affected by the disaster, there are still some crops to be harvested. At this time, there is only a little bit."

Wu Zhen was a little dazed by Zhu Han's resolute style of work.

What's the situation?
Why does His Royal Highness in front of him seem to be different from what he remembered?

Before arriving in Datong, the price of food was forcibly increased.

Wu Zhen always thought that His Highness the King of England was a greedy scum who wanted to enrich the country.

Although Zhu Han had a good reputation in the past, Wu Zhen, as a high-ranking official of the prefect of Datong, knew very well the truth of knowing people's faces but not their hearts.

Some people are like this, they can stick to their duties when they are poor, but once they are developed, they begin to reveal their true nature.

Perhaps the king of England Zhu Han is like this. When he fought the country before, Zhu Han was able to restrain his greed.

Now that Ming Dynasty has settled in the Central Plains, Bingfeng has almost crushed the whole world.

At this time, perhaps Zhu Han felt that the great work had been accomplished, so he no longer restrained his true thoughts.

But what's the situation now?
In front of him, the king of England Zhu Han, who seems to be dedicated to serving the country and the people, is a bit too different from his impression, right?
No matter how you look at it, this person doesn't seem like the kind of person who doesn't care about the life and death of the people for the sake of money?
Wait, it doesn't seem to be the case. Although he is very concerned about the disaster, the words of His Royal Highness are indeed quite unreliable.

He said that his students brought something that could alleviate the drought, so that he could call all the blacksmiths in Datong.

Calling blacksmiths, that means this kind of thing should be a tool, right?

But the problem is that what Datong lacks is not tools at all, but water!

No matter how exquisite your students of His Royal Highness the King make, it is impossible to make water out of iron, right?
It is related to the blacksmith, and it is only something made.

The only thing Wu Zhen could think of was whether the King of England, Zhu Han, was planning to make a batch of Buddha statues or something, so as to send autumn rain to the sky?

No matter what, after meeting him for the first time, Wu Zhen felt that His Highness the King of England in front of him was unreliable in every way. '

The reason why he cares so much about the disaster is probably just pretending.

As for Zhu Han, a dignified prince, why did he pretend to care so much about the disaster-stricken people in Datong...

Wu Zhen felt that it was probably because of the high price of food.

His Royal Highness probably felt that his reputation was damaged, so he wanted to improve his reputation.

I don't know if His Highness the King of England understands that what he did is simply a waste of a blind man's electric light.

As long as the price of this food does not drop, there will be no one in Datong who will not secretly curse all the ancestors of the prince and himself.

Even if the price of grain falls, people will never forget that King Zhu Han of England once took the initiative to raise the price of grain to four taels of silver a stone.

Over the years, Wu Zhen's mind has been disturbed, and he lost his composure for a while.

Zhu Han didn't know that the magistrate of Datong in front of him was slandering him in his heart.

Of course, even if you know, you won't care.

Ever since the price was set, Zhu Han has already prepared himself for his reputation.

Seeing Wu Zhen stunned, Zhu Han exchanged him angrily: "Wu Zhifu, Wu Zhifu?"

Zhu Han yelled several times in a row, and Wu Zhen finally came back to his senses.

He found himself losing his composure in front of the King of England.

Wu Zhen, who was already sweating all over, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

He hastened to make amends: "My lord takes care of all kinds of opportunities every day, but he still cares about the people of Datong so much. He is worth a lot of gold, and he comes to Datong himself to share the joys and sorrows of the people of Datong. I am an official... an official..."

While talking, Wu Zhen burst into tears with excitement.

Moreover, this guy blinked his eyes, and actually squeezed out a few tears.

Zhu Han was amazed, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: "The acting skills are a little exaggerated, let's practice more in the future."

The reason why he pretended to cry was really because Wu Zhen was still a bit embarrassing.

Regarding Zhu Han's performance just now, Wu Zhen really couldn't find any words to flatter Zhu Han.

Can only say nothing, all in tears.

"Prefect Wu, I understand your feelings. As the prince of Daming, the people of Daming are just like my children."

"Isn't it natural for parents to care about their children?"

"My lord is wise." Wu Zhen was really speechless.

I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen such shameless people.

What have you done that you have forgotten so quickly?
I wish I could slap Zhu Han a few times in my heart before I am reconciled.

Zhu Han didn't bother to continue with Wu Zhenxu's appointment.

Even though the entire Datong is now, it is estimated that no one believes in Zhu Han.

However, Zhu Han did come to rescue the disaster.

And before arriving in Datong, Zhu Han had already made preparations.

The grain price of four taels of silver and one stone is one of them, and the other is naturally what his student has researched.

To be honest, when that student put the things he got out in front of Zhu Han.

Zhu Han was taken aback, and even doubted whether this guy was also a time traveler.

"Palace jade liquid wine?"

"Odd and even change?"

"Laying rooster?"

After a series of questions, Zhu Han was finally sure that this guy was indeed not a time traveler.

He is Huangzhuang Zhonghuan, a student who doesn't play much.

Although this guy is not young, he is one of the latest students to enter Huangzhuang.

This person's surname is Fang, and the word "Yunlong Fenghu" ranks last.

His full name is Fang Hubin.

This person was average among all the students in Huangzhuang, and he belonged to the kind of person that Zhu Han didn't have much impression of.

But even Zhu Han didn't expect that such a person would bring him a huge surprise this time.

The full name of what Fang Hubin made is called a lever press water machine.

Older rural children have generally seen this thing.

As long as the upper lever is pressed, the water can be pumped up from the ground in no time.

For future generations, this is almost obsolete.

But if this thing is placed in Daming, it will definitely be high technology.

Although Wu Zhen felt that Zhu Han was very unreliable.

However, he did not dare to disobey Zhu Han's order.

Dare to go against His Royal Highness, do you not want to be in the officialdom anymore?
Zhu Han rejected the so-called reception banquet, and immediately devoted himself to disaster relief work.

Although before arriving in Datong, Zhu Han had already learned about some of the situation in Datong through Wu Zhen's memorial and Jin Yiwei's investigation.

However, after fully understanding the situation in Datong, Zhu Han's heart was still extremely heavy.

The disaster this time was really too serious.

Zhu Han can be [-]% sure that Datong has never suffered such a severe drought in history.

The only thing to be thankful for is because of the high price strategy he formulated before.

Almost all the grain stores in Datong are not restricting the sale of grain but are open for sale.

After all, such a high price is like stealing money, and those who don't sell it are fools.

And even with such a high grain price, those grain shops are also booming in business.

The ten merchants selected by Zhu Han before also began to exert their strength.

They used all their strength to deliver food to Datong desperately.

Among them, Liu's family, where Liu Ping'an lives, is the first to benefit as a local snake.

After all, apart from the local grain merchants, the only way for foreign grain merchants to enter Datong is through them.

The Liu family didn't even need to do much, just buy grain at the border of Datong and resell it to grain merchants in Datong, and they could make a fortune.

The grain from other Yanjing grain merchants can reach Datong within two or three days at most.

During the drought, the most troublesome food problem has now been solved.

Without the food crisis, the rest of the affairs would be much easier to handle.

Zhu Han waved his hand directly: "Recruiting people."

Although the railway in Datong has begun to be repaired, due to various reasons, the progress has not been very fast.

Now, the manpower is directly expanded tenfold.
