Da Ming started to ascend the throne

But Daming is already rotten to the root, and the emperor can't make Daming counterattack if he doesn't do this.

Since the last time the treasury increased a huge amount of income, Ni Yuanlu has been conquered by the emperor.

In his heart, the emperor is like a god. No matter what the emperor says or does, he is right. Ni Yuanlu is definitely a fan of the emperor.

The scene of the common people kneeling on the ground with tears in their eyes, kowtowing to the direction of the capital to thank them, definitely makes people feel passionate.

Ni Yuanlu had never seen such a scene in most of his life, and he couldn't help but prostrate on the ground and weep loudly.

He felt that the people of Ming Dynasty had very low requirements, as long as they were allowed to fill their stomachs, who would want to rebel!

In fact, after the world is settled down, the emperor can completely choose beautiful women to eat, drink and have fun.

But he didn't. So far, there are only five beautiful women in the harem, and there are no empresses or concubines.

Now it seems that the emperor still understands the people, and he knows exactly what the people need.

After getting up from the ground, Ni Yuanlu wiped away her tears and began to arrange the distribution of sweet potatoes.

Leave a few seeds and plant another batch in a couple of days.

After distributing some to the local people, all the rest were sent to various places in the north to help the people.

With sweet potatoes, when they cook porridge, they can add some sweet potatoes into it. The sweet potatoes are so sweet in this season that they don't even need vegetables.

Sweet potatoes can also be baked sweet potatoes, dried sweet potatoes, etc. There are also many ways to eat potatoes.

In two months, all sweet potatoes and potatoes will be popularized, and Daming will never be short of food again.

Time passed quickly, and another month passed in the blink of an eye. The problem of food and clothing in the northern area of ​​Daming was basically solved, and the business and trade in the south were also booming.

Daming's tea, porcelain, silk, cotton cloth, spices, etc. were continuously shipped overseas, and they were exchanged for real money and some materials needed by Daming.

Almost all the people in the south have already lived a prosperous life. In addition to their own fields, each of them also has people who work in factories.

The children also started school, with new textbooks of course.

If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Daming Cement has also been researched, and official roads are being built in various parts of the south.

After the completion of the official road, there will be horse-drawn carriages between each city.

People only need to pay a few pennies to enter the city by horse-drawn carriage.

The north is still a world of ice and snow, and road construction is not yet possible, and it will take two months.

Chapter 371

After retiring from the court that day, Zhu Youjian summoned three Shandong businessmen in Qianqing Palace.

They are all patriotic maritime merchants from the Shandong Merchant Gang, namely Li Yong, Liu Wu, and Yang Chunming.

The three of them never thought in their life that they would meet the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, let alone be summoned by the Emperor.

When they heard that the emperor wanted to see them, the three of them were terrified, thinking that something must have offended the emperor.

They were all very clear about the outcome of the eight major Shanxi merchants. They probably either ransacked their homes or exterminated their families this time.

Zhu Youjian was sitting in the imperial study, and there were two other people beside him, the princess Zhu Weixi, and the most loyal old eunuch in history, Wang Chengen.

The three chatted for a while, Zhu Youjian turned around and asked the little eunuch:

"Have the rich merchants from Shandong arrived?"

The little eunuch Erxi hastily bowed and answered:

"Your Majesty, they have all arrived and are waiting outside the palace."

"call"

"According to the purpose"

After Er Xi exited the imperial study, she went directly to the outside of the hall, and saw three wealthy businessmen standing there trembling.

"Come here, Your Majesty has summoned you."

The three of them were already trembling with fear, but when they heard the emperor's summons, they felt their legs became weaker.

A little trembling, they walked up to Er Xi, and each handed Er Xi a bank note.

"My father-in-law, this is your hard work fee."

Er Xi looked at the figure of 100 taels on the bank note, and his face suddenly sank:

"What are you doing? Are you trying to kill our family? Hurry up and go in after His Majesty summons you."

Erxi's words made the three of them even more nervous, they felt that the game was over.

Don't they all say eunuchs love money?Why the little eunuch didn't even dare to ask for money, he must have committed a serious crime.

In the past, when entering the palace, eunuchs had to be given a meeting gift, and the middle and lower officials of the hundred officials also had to give a meeting gift when they met their superiors.

If you don't give gifts, you don't have the right to talk to your superiors. As rich businessmen, of course they know it well.

But how did they know that after Zhu Youjian came here, he severely cracked down on corruption, and now no one dares to accept gifts casually.

After entering the imperial study, they found three people sitting in it, besides the emperor, there was an old eunuch and a beautiful woman.

Although the three of them didn't know the emperor, they could still be distinguished from each other in terms of their clothes.

A beautiful woman is definitely not an emperor, and an old man in a boa robe is certainly not an emperor.

The middle-aged man in the middle wearing a dragon robe must be the Son of Heaven.

The three trembled and knelt down in front of Zhu Youjian:

"The grassroots refer to His Majesty the Emperor."

Seeing that the three of them were so scared, Zhu Youjian smiled slightly and said:

"Free of courtesy? Give me a seat!"

The three of them knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up. How dare they sit down.

"Grassmen dare not sit? Let's kneel and be punished."

"Punishment? Why are you punished? You must sit if I give you a seat. Otherwise, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor."

"Ah... Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"
