Ming Dynasty: Abandoned baby at the beginning, Zhu let me be the emperor

"Master Qingtian!"

After Zhu Ming beheaded Juan and the bandits, all the people knelt down and shouted in unison.

This little grandson of the emperor not only solved the major case in just one day, but also recovered all the food. To them, he was like a reborn parent.

"Your Majesty asked me to come to provide disaster relief, not only to distribute food, but also to restore order to everyone."

Zhu Ming looked serious as he watched this scene. He walked up to the platform, turned around and looked at the officials accompanying him, and shouted, "Where is the commander?"

A big man then stood up and knelt respectfully in front of Zhu Ming.

"I order you to lead the troops to wipe out the bandits around this county from now on."

Since the drought occurred, the Hedong counties have failed to provide disaster relief, resulting in bandits everywhere who robbed the people.

This group is just one of them, except that they are bolder and have worse luck.

If they had not encountered Zhu Ming, and instead robbed other people who had already been affected by the disaster, I don't know how long they would have been allowed to do their evil deeds.

They were so lawless that they even dared to rob the county granary.

As he said this, he took out the royal banner and handed it to the thousand households.

He was ordered to come here and be the governor of all important matters in Hedong. He could act at his discretion, including deploying troops.

"Yes."

The captain responded decisively, took the chess and cards from Zhu Ming, and retreated.

Afterwards, he led his men and headed out of the city.

These people will be executed in front of the people today, one is to establish authority, and the other is to hold a swearing-in ceremony.

The number of officers and soldiers in this county, including those on duty, is no more than a thousand. It cannot be considered a strong army, but it is enough to suppress bandits.

When the people heard that Zhu Ming would not only kill this group of thieves, but also wipe out all the robbers nearby, they became even more excited.

The feeling of welcoming the royal army with food and drink.

"Wang Juren."

Zhu Ming said again.

"The subordinate is here."

After what happened before, Wang Juren also became a little excited at this moment and responded immediately.

"Here are the blueprints. You are responsible for supervising the work and rebuilding the avenue according to the instructions above."

Zhu Ming took out the construction drawing he had drawn from his arms.

In order to draw this map, he spent a lot of time referring to the county map.

"Yes."

Wang Juren also responded straightforwardly. He had his own ambitions for taking the initiative to appear in front of Zhu Ming.

He didn't want to just be a small clerk here, and Zhu Ming hired him because he saw this point in him.

Therefore, he would naturally do his best to carry out Zhu Ming's orders.

If I could be introduced before His Majesty in the future, that would be the place where I could display my talents.

Seeing that the common people and officials were mobilized by him, Zhu Ming nodded with satisfaction. This was exactly the result he wanted.

"Also, I want you to spread the word that anyone willing to participate in the construction will receive five taels of silver per month, regardless of their background."

He helped Wang Juren up and spoke in a deep voice to him.

"Your Highness, this..."

After hearing Zhu Ming's words, Wang Juren hesitated again.

If we don't ask about people's background or origins, wouldn't a lot of bad people be able to sneak in?

When those people saw that the government was suppressing the bandits, they would definitely blend in with the people.

"I know."

Zhu Ming nodded affirmatively. He naturally knew these things.

If we just suppress the bandits, those criminals will definitely fight to the death in order to survive.

But I have given them a way to survive, so those who are forced to become bandits will naturally come to me for help.

Only by using both carrots and sticks can we completely get rid of these robbers.

Moreover, the reconstruction of a county town certainly requires a large amount of labor. Although these robbers may not be smart, they are definitely strong.

"Yes."

Although Wang Juren was still confused, he had no choice but to obey the order and retreat.

I believe that for such a foreseeable event, His Highness naturally has his own plans.

After giving instructions, Zhu Ming walked back to the county government office from the city wall.

"Your Highness."

Meihua stood at the door, saw Zhu Ming coming back, and immediately went to greet him.

Watching from the side, I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw that Meihua was not as presumptuous as before.

This is the emperor's grandson. As his maid, I naturally need to be extremely careful.

Zhu Ming didn't care about that. He bent down, touched his head, and then walked towards his room.

When passing by the side courtyard, he did not forget to turn around and take a look.

The imperial physician is treating Gousheng now, so his leg shouldn't be a problem. I'll go see her after he wakes up.

I stayed up all night trying to catch a thief. I was so focused that the little time I took to close my eyes was not enough.

He was really sleepy.

I returned to the room and lay down on the bed, and I felt my consciousness gradually becoming blurred.

When I opened my eyes again, the sky had already darkened.

Zhu Ming stretched out his body, took a long breath, and felt like he was alive again.

When he opened the door, Meihua came over obediently with a basin of water and asked him to wash up.

Zhu Ming knew without asking that this must have been taught by Zhaodi.

Ever since she knew her identity, Zhaodi became more careful and respectful to herself.

Gousheng, on the other hand, remained the same in attitude after knowing that he was the emperor's grandson. There was no change.

In other words, Zhu Ming didn't know how to make her less cold.

"You came?"

Zhu Ming was now at the door of Gousheng's room. Listening to the cold voice, he shook his head helplessly.

He could understand it, as Gousheng lost his parents when he was young and now he has encountered this disaster.

In fact, she is not a cold person, but she has seen too many lives and deaths, and feels that life is worthless, including her own life.

"Yes, come to see you."

Zhu Ming nodded and walked to Gousheng's bed.

Thanks to the imperial physician's medicine, Gousheng's complexion has improved a lot and is now white with a rosy glow.

"It seems you are recovering well."

Seeing that Gousheng's condition had improved, Zhu Ming spoke.

"The imperial physician said that he will be able to walk next month."

Gousheng turned his head and glanced at Zhu Ming. His eyes were no longer as calm as before.

After all, he was the one who pulled her back from the brink of disability. Even if she no longer takes her own life seriously, there will be ripples in her heart.

"Then you should rest well. If something happens while I'm away, you can call Meihua for help."

Zhu Ming responded, and then the atmosphere became cold again.

Zhu Ming couldn't think of any topic to talk about with such a cold person like Gousheng.

The two of them just stared at each other in silence for a while, and no one knew how much time had passed.

"I heard that you killed all those who stole the food?"

Finally, it was Gousheng who spoke, breaking the silence in the room.

Faintly, Zhu Ming seemed to hear a faint sigh.

"Yes."

He nodded and responded.
