Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

"Why don't you ask us in!"

"We want to live!"

"Let us enter the city!"

Outside the Chaoyang Gate of the capital, under the scorching sun, countless people gathered around. They were in ragged clothes, they were roaring in anger, and they were thin... With no way to survive, their survival instinct brought them together. They came to a place they never dared to imagine in this life, but what they got in exchange was even greater despair! !

"Fu Yin, please order the gates to be closed quickly!"

On the city wall of Chaoyang Gate, the Tongzhi of Shuntian Mansion, who was sweating profusely with anxiety, looked at the silent Chen Qiyu and said with extremely excited emotions.

"Right now, not only outside Chaoyang Gate, but also at Dongbianmen, Guangqumen, Zuo'anmen, Yongdingmen, You'anmen and other places, a large number of refugees have gathered around them! They came out of nowhere, almost overnight. Soon they came to the capital city."

"They are all real people, so why did they appear suddenly?"

Standing on the city wall, Chen Qiyu looked down at the surging crowds below the city, clenching his hands with his hands hanging down, "The imperial court spent countless amounts of food and money to stabilize the place, but in exchange for this kind of farce, now it's... It’s so ridiculous to blame them!!”

The colleague of Shuntian Mansion showed a complicated expression.

Although he knows some of the inside stories, in this world, some things must not be taken too seriously. If you take things seriously, you will get involved!

"What's the current price of food in various places inside and outside the capital?"

Chen Qiyu frowned and glanced at the Shuntian Prefecture's co-president, "With such a big thing happening in the capital and the capital, I'm afraid some people won't be able to sit still, right?"

"According to what I know, the price of food in various places inside and outside has increased by at least 40% compared to before!"

The co-president of Shuntian Prefecture hesitated for a moment, lowered his head slightly and said: "And the food currently sold in the market is mainly wheat, rice, and millet. There are more or less adulterations. Some food stores sell food that is mixed with sand and soil." ”

"really!!"

Chen Qiyu suppressed his anger and said: "They are unable to afford it early. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, not to mention the large number of refugees gathered outside the capital, I am afraid that the people living in various houses inside and outside the capital will face increasingly high food prices. With all the public dissatisfaction boiling, we still don’t know what big thing is going to happen in the capital!!”

Since taking office as the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, Chen Qiyu has not dared to relax for a moment, thinking of sorting out Shuntian Prefecture as soon as possible, and by the way, reorganizing the two counties under his jurisdiction, Wanping and Daxing. Chen Qiyu has served in local , very aware of the tricks of local government offices.

Even though Shuntian Mansion is a very special existence in the entire Ming Dynasty, it is the first mansion in the Ming Dynasty, and even Shuntian Mansion Yin can face the emperor directly, but this cannot change one nature.

That is to ensure the stability of a good place.

The most special thing about Shuntian Mansion is the capital city. In addition to the central government offices, there are many government offices with corresponding powers. In addition to the Shuntian Mansion Government Office, there are also the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and the Five Cities Patrol Censor. If we look into it carefully, we also need to include Jin Yiwei and some of the guards stationed in Beijing.

Faced with such a complicated situation, if Chen Qiyu wants to ensure the stability of the capital, he must ensure that the Shuntian government offices are open to the public!

"This is a challenge and an opportunity."

Looking at the surging crowd below the city, Chen Qiyu muttered to himself. It was at this moment that Chen Qiyu made up his mind and looked at his colleagues in Shuntian Prefecture, "You will stay here from now on and strictly control the situation outside the city for me. , I will immediately enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. Whether to close all the gates or not, this matter is of great importance and requires His Majesty’s sanction. Before that, if there is any turmoil outside the capital, you can wait to be dismissed from office together with me!”

"This……"

Seeing Chen Qiyu like this, Tongzhi of Shuntian Mansion wanted to say something, but Chen Qiyu ignored him at all, flicked his sleeves and turned around to walk towards the city.

Although Chen Qiyu didn't know who was instigating all this, his intuition told him that the matter was definitely not simple, and it was clearly aimed at the emperor.

Why?

The emperor issued decrees to strictly investigate all matters time and time again, and batches of people were arrested or executed, which made many people feel terrified deep in their hearts.

Dogs will jump over walls when they are anxious.

What about people?

Now that things have happened in the past, there is no point in studying them in detail. What we need to do now is to ensure stability. No matter whether it is the capital or the capital, there must be no chaos, otherwise the loss to the imperial court will be too great and the impact will be too great!

Chen Qiyu thought a lot on the way to the Forbidden City.

How to appease restless refugee groups.

How to stabilize food prices that are maliciously driven up.

How to track down who is behind the scenes...

Some of them, Chen Qiyu already knew, but some, Chen Qiyu didn't know yet.

After all, it happened too quickly and there were too many things involved.

Under the bright sun, the Forbidden City was full of majesty. Chen Qiyu had an unimpeded journey from the Meridian Gate to the Qianqing Palace.

As the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture appointed by Zhu Youxiao, Chen Qiyu's name has been registered in the Royal Imperial Guards Palace, and he has even been given a special token. In fact, not only Chen Qiyu, but also some ministers who were highly valued by Zhu Youxiao also received such treatment. .

Trust is relative.

If he wants these pillars to work for him and the Ming Dynasty without reservation, Zhu Youxiao must respond accordingly.

No one's heart can be chilled, but the hearts of these pillars can't be chilled!

If their hearts are chilled, then Ming Dynasty will be completely hopeless.

"Your Majesty, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise tragedy will be staged in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty!!" When Chen Qiyu rushed to Dongnuang Pavilion, he heard Sun Chuanting's excited voice, which made Chen Qiyu stunned.

"Your Majesty, do you know that in many places in Shuntian Mansion, tragedies involving Yi Zi cannibalism have occurred. These... ministers were shocked when they first heard about it. The Ming Dynasty! Such a thing could actually happen."

"I have your Majesty's trust and am in charge of all the affairs of the Disaster Relief Office. However, if I want to solve what happened in Shuntian Prefecture now, I need a large amount of food. If food cannot be solved, then even if we implement work-for-relief, it will not be possible for a long time. , When a person is hungry and his eyes are red, he can do anything!"

At that time, in Dongnuan Pavilion, Sun Chuanting knelt on the ground, bowed to Zhu Youxiao on the throne, and spoke with great emotion.

This is the most authentic Ming Dynasty!

After hearing what Sun Chuanting said, looking at the emotional Sun Chuanting, and sitting on the throne, Zhu Youxiao's mood was extremely complicated at this moment.

Regarding Sun Chuanting's performance, Zhu Youxiao was not angry at all. On the contrary, Zhu Youxiao was very pleased. Fortunately, Daming had people who were worried about the country, otherwise he would have to rely on him to solve such a complicated situation. However, How could he solve such a thing by himself?
