Guard soldiers are soldiers who specialize in guarding. In addition to their strong combat power, they also have a function that other biochemical soldiers do not have, and that is poison detection.
Officially because of their ability, Zhu Youjian dared to sit down and eat.
"Sir, it's okay."
A guard soldier took a spoon and stirred the spicy soup in front of Zhu Youjian, took a sip and said.
"Baozi is fine too."
Another guard soldier opened the steamer, pierced all the buns with chopsticks, put them in front of his nose and smelled them before saying.
“It’s true that the richer you are, the more you fear death!”
The person eating next to him murmured in a low voice.
The voice was so low that Zhu Youjian, who was sitting next to him, didn't hear it clearly, but the guard soldiers beside Zhu Youjian did hear it clearly.
The guard soldier blinked to the side, and then pointed at the person who just muttered.
A guard soldier not far away nodded to express his understanding.
.....
"Yes, it tastes really good. Although it's a little different from the one in my hometown, it's still good. It's just that the fried dough sticks were a little slow.
Fried dough sticks and spicy spicy soup are a perfect match! "
After taking a sip of the spicy soup, the familiar taste instantly filled Zhu Youjian's throat.
"It's a pity, I can't go back."
Zhu Youjian couldn't help but shed a few tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Young master, please give us two a bite to eat."
At this moment, a woman with a strange smell all over her body hugged a little Lolita with a dull look in her arms and knelt down in front of Zhu Youjian with a plop.
At this moment, the guard on the side has already put his hand on the scabbard. As long as the opponent has a problem, he will take action to solve the opponent as soon as possible. "
"The boss is bringing you two steamed buns."
"Sit down and eat."
Zhu Youjian pointed to the opposite side and said.
To be honest, because in later generations, many beggars were given apples as standard, Zhu Youjian didn't like beggars very much.
But seeing these two people, Zhu Youjian felt inexplicably sad.
I thought that under my own rule, everyone would have enough to eat, but at least they wouldn't be so hungry.
"Sister, where are you from?
Was your hometown hit by a disaster? "
"No, no! There was no disaster at home,"
"Then how did you end up in this situation?"
Zhu Youjian continued to ask.
The people at the bottom are the cornerstone of the country. If you keep watching from the clouds, it will be easy to throw the hardships of the bottom into the trash can.
After all, it is tradition to report good news but not bad news.
Rich families are stinking of wine and meat, and people on the road are frozen to death. The top brass don't know the hardships of the bottom class, and sooner or later all the people's hearts will be lost.
If the top management doesn't know what's going on at the bottom, the cornerstone will be destroyed sooner or later.
Zhu Youjian, who lives in the information age, knows very well the helplessness of the people at the bottom.
"No, no, there was no disaster at home..."
After talking for a while, Zhu Youjian finally understood.
This woman's name is Liu Xin. His husband is Liu Nan.
Last year, her husband died of typhoid fever, and because she failed to give birth to a son for the Liu family, her parents-in-law did not like her, and they later kicked her out together with her daughter.
"Hey, patriarchal preference kills people."
Even though he said so.
but
Zhu Youjian breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was not forced to die by the court.
"Sister, it's not the same thing for you to beg with your child back and forth like this."
"This is the capital, at the feet of the emperor. Don't mess around."
After saying that, the eldest sister held her daughter in her arms, stared at Zhu Youjian with a fierce look and shouted.
At the same time, many passers-by stopped and looked here.
"Sister, you misunderstood. Isn't there an almshouse in Ming Dynasty? If you take your children to the almshouse, you may not be able to live a good life. At the very least, you should be able to have enough to eat."
The Yangjiyuan is a welfare institution responsible for taking in orphans in the city; it is one of the three major social welfare institutions established by Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a farmer, paid special attention to the suffering of the people. He had suffered enough from childhood, and he also introduced various policies to prevent the people from suffering as much as possible.
Although the flavor changed later, the almshouse still exists as one of the three major welfare institutions.
According to this eldest sister, they are fully qualified to enter.
"Young Master, you are joking. The Almshouse is not something that poor people like us can enter."
"What? The almshouse was prepared by the Ming Dynasty for the poor people. Why can't you go in?"
"Thank you for your kindness, sir, but you'd better mind your own business."
"This is a little thought. I hope you can live a good life."
As he spoke, Zhu Youjian took out 20 copper plates from his arms and handed them to the other party.
It's not that Zhu Youjian is stingy and unpredictable.
Wealth requires strength to protect.
20 copper coins is not enough to arouse others' greed.
If you give too much, it will harm them.
"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master. Nunnui, please kowtow to Master."
"Get up. I will report this to Your Majesty later. Your Majesty is a good emperor. After the break, you can go to the Almshouse to have a look. I believe that the Almshouse will be able to provide you with a home by then. .”
"Thank you, sir."
"Okay, you go check out. Pack 2 steamed buns for this eldest sister." Zhu Youjian pointed to the guard beside him.
There were not many people checking out, only two or three people. Although the capital was the capital of the Ming Dynasty, everyone's income was not high.
After all, there are only a few people who can afford breakfast outside.
After half a cup of tea (7-8 minutes), the guard finally came back after paying his bills.
"What's going on? Why did it take so long?"
"Sir, it's because we used the money newly provided by the court, so it took a while."
"What's going on? What happened to the court's money?"
Zhu Youjian asked.
The importance of currency to a country is self-evident.
In today's Ming Dynasty, there are many types of currencies.
Just take the copper coins and come here. In addition to the newly issued Chongzhen Tongbao after you ascended the throne.
There is also the Tianqi Tongbao issued during the Tianqi period.
Taichang Tongbao from the Taichang period and Wanli Tongbao from the Wanli period.
Even Dazhong Tongbao and Yongle Tongbao from the early Ming Dynasty are still in circulation.
There are no less than dozens of types of copper coins officially issued by the Ming Dynasty. Together with the privately issued copper coins of the Ming Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to describe the copper coins of the Ming Dynasty as being diverse.
With more types of currencies, a lot of problems will naturally arise, because the issue of copper content leads to asymmetry between various currencies.
Now the Ming Dynasty's business is not very developed, and the transaction volume is small. At most, it will delay some people's time. But if the economy develops in the future, the currency problem will be serious.
When he ascended the throne, Zhu Youjian also thought about banning private coinage of currency, and at the same time forcibly replaced other currencies with the newly issued Chongzhen Tongbao.
However, at that time, the Ming Dynasty was suffering from internal and external troubles, and Jiannu was eyeing the Northeast.
Around the Great Wall, the Mongols also wanted to bite the Ming Dynasty.
In Guizhou and other places, the rebellion has not been put down.
Disasters are spreading all over Shaanxi and other places.
Zhu Youjian could only bury his thoughts in his heart. Waiting for the day in the future, Ming Dynasty will solve the external troubles and deal with the internal worries.
