People in Zongwu: Starting with the Yin Gui Sect

"My dear, how is the arrangement I asked you to make going?"

After returning to the Qianqing Palace, Wu Yu asked Wang Chengen about selling coal cheaply to the residents of Beijing.

After hearing the report from his subordinates that someone had frozen to death for the first time, Wu Yu thought of using coal instead of charcoal to keep the people of Beijing warm.

Unlike the high price of charcoal, all coal was sold to the people of Beijing at a very low price under Wu Yu's instruction, for no other reason than to reduce the number of deaths in winter.

And in order to prevent some people from deliberately reselling, he also specifically stipulated that each household could only purchase a limited amount of coal, as long as they had enough coal to survive the winter.

Of course, the necessary instructions should not be missed, so that the people would not completely close the room to keep warm, which would eventually lead to coal poisoning.

"My Lord, the things you ordered have been done, and the people of the East Factory are watching this matter personally, which can ensure that every household can buy honeycomb coal at a low price."

Because it was something that His Majesty specifically instructed, Wang Chengen naturally did not dare to be careless.

Wu Yu nodded, picked up a few memorials, looked at them, and threw them aside.

"Master, you won't approve the memorials?"

Seeing that Wu Yu was about to leave again just after returning to the Qianqing Palace, Wang Chengen said with a puzzled look.

"No, it's the same few things anyway. Send them all to the cabinet. Accompany me to the Imperial Garden!"

The Imperial Garden mentioned by Wu Yu is actually the place where the emperor, empress, and concubines rest and have fun after dinner.

However, it was not called the Imperial Garden at the beginning, but the Palace Back Garden, and the name was changed only after Wu Yu came to power.

Soon, under the leadership of the eunuchs, the two came to a greenhouse in the Imperial Garden. After seeing the various vegetables inside, Wu Yu had a sense of accomplishment for no reason.

That's right, it was the vegetable greenhouse.

It turned out that when Wu Yu first came to the Imperial Garden, he found that in addition to the buildings for rest and entertainment, there was actually a large open space.

Seeing such a large piece of vacant land lying in wasteland, somehow, something called blood engraved in Wu Yu's genes awakened instantly, so he immediately ordered people to plow the large piece of vacant land, and then planted various vegetables on it.

In order to ensure that he could eat fresh vegetables in winter, he even built a greenhouse for this purpose. It was because of this that his Shangshenjian could pick fresh vegetables every day.

"Go get a stove, I want to make hot pot here."

It is said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, but this sentence is nonsense to Wu Yu, especially in this winter. If he can make hot pot from time to time and drink some wine, then life will be wonderful.

In addition, the vegetables are all freshly picked, without any technology or hard work, so the taste is of course beyond reproach.

Of course, it is not that no one has advised him, especially the imperial censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who often use the ancestral system to pressure him and ask him to stop this behavior, otherwise they will die in front of him.

But Wu Yu didn't buy it at all. Not only did he ask Wang Chengen to publish the matter in the "Da Ming Di Bao", he also wrote about the methods of greenhouse cultivation.

As for the few supervisory censors who were the most shouting, he also asked Wei Zhongxian to investigate them thoroughly.

Seeing that this gentleman was really serious, the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate finally dared not persuade him anymore. After all, compared with those who should practice immortality, lie down, and do carpentry, this gentleman has been very restrained. At least he has not neglected state affairs for this.

It's normal for the emperor of the old Zhu family to have some special hobbies!

Soon, the aroma of hot pot spread throughout the imperial garden. Seeing that it was almost done, Wu Yu asked people to invite the ladies in the harem to come here for dinner.

"It smells so good!"

As soon as she approached, Wan Wan smelled the smell of hot pot.

"Back?"

Just now, I was talking about Brother Li's uprising in the court, but I didn't expect that Xianxian would come back.

After seeing Wu Yu, Xianxian first turned into a crying monster and complained about how comfortable the other concubines were in the palace, while she was having a hard time outside, and how Wu Yu comforted her young heart.

Only after she finished complaining did she throw a piece of information over, and then walked to her seat, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

After Wu Yu received the information, he immediately opened it and read it. It recorded the specific location of one million taels of silver and more than 50,000 taels of gold.

Needless to say, this money was naturally found by Brother Li in the homes of those landlords after he broke through those counties.

But Wu Yu didn't expect that they could get it in just a few small counties.So much money, and they left part of it as military expenses, otherwise the money would probably double.

As expected, the Ming Dynasty is not short of money, it is only the emperor who is short of money. As long as he is willing to continue to target those rich and unkind gentry, he will not worry about having no money to spend.

Looking at the strings of numbers above, Wu Yu knew that he had made the right move. With Brother Li, he would not have to worry about money in the future.

As the saying goes, problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen in history did not think about making money, but he chose the wrong target. He did not dare to offend the landlord class, but instead set his target on the working people at the bottom.

But he did not think about it. Those people at the bottom even had problems with eating, so where would there be extra money and food for him, so that in the end he not only did not get money, but also offended the people all over the world.

In the end, the lower-class masses who were oppressed and could not survive had to rise up and send the Ming Dynasty, which was also created by poor families, to hell.

If the direction is wrong, the efforts will be in vain. This sentence is more appropriate for Emperor Chongzhen.

"Your Majesty!"

Just when Wu Yu collected the information, Lianxing and others also arrived, so after saying hello, they took their seats and started eating. Anyway, this is not the first time.

As for Yaoyue, Lianxing said that she went into seclusion and said that she wanted to deduce the tenth level of Mingyu Gong. Wu Yu didn't know whether she could succeed, but he still supported this positive attitude.

"Your Majesty, I hope to go back to Dali to visit my relatives after the New Year!"

Halfway through the meal, Wang Yuyan suddenly asked. Although she had given up her identity as a princess of Dali in order to join the Ming Dynasty, she hadn't seen her mother for such a long time, so she hoped to go back to Dali to visit Li Qingluo after the New Year.

"Okay, you can leave after the New Year's Day. I'll let Fang Daban escort you back then."

It's natural for children to go home to visit their parents, so Wu Yu would not stop them.

And in order to show his importance, he even asked Fang Zhenghua to escort her back in person.

You have to know that this is a master, and there is only one in the entire Dali Kingdom. Sending a master to escort her is enough to give Duan Zhengchun and his men face.
