Daming: I really don’t want to be an emperor!

Because by that time, I would be an old man and could command the cattle and horses promoted from all over the place.

Moreover, Zhu Yunhuan was not stingy with rewards.

Whenever the warships brought back a batch of rewards, Zhu Yunhuan would take out a portion of it to reward the officials. When he saw the gold or gems in his hands, he suddenly felt that working overtime was actually nothing.

The winter of the seventh year of Chengqian was unusually cold.

Even though the people were already using anthracite and wearing woolen coats.

But it's still cold.

But fortunately, there were enough sweet potatoes, potatoes and some rice at home, so they did not starve to death.

There was heavy snow and wind in the Forbidden City, and Zhu Yunhuan hardly got out of bed the entire winter, and there were several beauties who kept him in bed warm.

But, it was just a warm bed.

Zhu Yunhuan was determined, but if he failed to establish his career, how could he take care of his family?

He has never favored anyone until now, for fear that he would become addicted to the pleasures of life, become satisfied with his current achievements, and follow in the footsteps of Li Longji.

In the spring of the eighth year of Chengqian, earthquakes occurred in many places.

In the summer of the eighth year of Chengqian, drought occurred in many places.

In the autumn of the eighth year of Chengqian, locust plagues occurred in many places.

In the winter of the eighth year of Chengqian, snow disasters occurred in many places.

This year, the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil. The extreme weather made Zhu Yunhuan realize that a small ice age might be coming.

However, some extreme people among the people criticized Zhu Yunhuan.

"Look, God is angry. Your Majesty has started a war, and even God can't stand it anymore."

"Invading other countries' lands, enslaving other countries' people, and robbing other countries' talents in order to build the Ming Dynasty, even God could not stand it, so he sent down divine punishment."

"Your Majesty should curb your warlike heart, start anew with the people, show kindness to the world, and even better, give up the idea of moving the capital."

"Jinyiwei! There is a spy from another country here. I will report him! He is slandering the Holy Emperor!"

"As everyone knows, we Chinese never invade others, we only educate the barbarians."

"That's right, what's wrong with enslaving them? When we were enslaved by foreigners, why didn't you rise up and raise the banner to restore the Han Dynasty?"

"I think it was because Your Majesty let them eat too much that they went to slander the Holy Emperor."

"The governor has ordered that all those who slandered the Holy Emperor be thrown into the sea to feed the fish."

"It's been so many years, and it's not the first time a natural disaster has occurred. Why are you making a fuss and slandering the emperor? Natural disasters are natural phenomena. What do you illiterate people know?"

"Exactly. Do you really think we are uncivilized fools and are as easy to deceive as before? The Holy Emperor has started to enlighten the people many years ago."

The common people still supported Zhu Yunhuan very much, which was largely due to the fact that Zhu Yunhuan enlightened the people.

By the ninth year of Chengqian, the situation had finally improved a lot.

But in the summer, floods broke out again, and the floods were so severe that they directly flooded the Forbidden City.

There was water on the roads in the Forbidden City and everyone had to wade through it.

Zhu Yunhuan smiled at this and said, "It seems that God knows that I will move the capital in a few years, and is urging me to move the capital to the north as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty is right. I guess God has sensed the sentiments of the people in the north and wants to urge Your Majesty to move the capital as soon as possible to meet their wishes."

Hao Youqian followed what Zhu Yunhuan said.

On the tower, Zhu Yunhuan frowned as he stared at the shimmering water on the ground. The smile on his face gradually faded, and he asked worriedly, "The flooding is so serious, I wonder if the exact number of people affected in various places has been counted?"

His voice trembled slightly in the wind, revealing his deep concern.

Hao Youqian, who was standing nearby, stepped forward and answered respectfully, "Your Majesty, the news we have received so far says that the casualties caused by this flood are relatively minor. Since your Majesty ordered the road to be built, many local officials have been inspired and have begun to build water conservancy projects. Although this year's flood was fierce, due to sufficient preparations in the early stages, the lives of the people were protected and the losses were not severe. However, it is regrettable that many farmlands were still flooded, and the harvest may be greatly affected."

Hearing this, Zhu Yunhuan breathed a sigh of relief, but the worry on his face did not completely disappear.

He nodded slowly and said with emotion, "It seems that my previous decision was effective. As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you will not be worried! Fortunately, the local government granaries have already stored enough food for three to five years in advance according to my will. In this way, even if the grain production decreases this year, the people will not starve or become homeless."

After saying this, he couldn't help but sighed deeply, and once again cast his gaze towards the vast fields flooded by the flood in the distance, and fell into deep thought...

The Little Ice Age was really tough.

"This is all due to your Majesty's foresight. Your Majesty's reign is a blessing to all people." Hao Youqian boasted.

Zhu Yunhuan asked, "Why hasn't Fourth Uncle come back yet? Did he get lost at sea? Logically, there should be news of his return by now."

"But... maybe."

Hao Youqian smiled awkwardly, not sure.

Anyway, there is a steady stream of wealth and goods being shipped over from the sea.

Zhu Di should be fine.

At this time, Zhu Di had aged a lot, but he was really lost at sea.

Floating on the vast ocean, Zhu Di saw an endless sea all around him. It was already difficult to find the way, and then there was a tornado and tsunami on the sea, which almost capsized Zhu Di's boat.

It’s also thanks to the large size of the battleship.

But after the natural disaster, Zhu Di got lost, and the compass seemed to be not working properly.

"Should I go this way or that way? There are no signposts on the sea. There is endless sea for a hundred miles around."

After the tsunami, Zhu Di's head was buzzing, and there was an octopus lying on top of his head. A lot of fish appeared out of thin air on the warships.

Zhu Gaochi replied, "Dad, no matter which way he goes, all roads lead to the Ming Dynasty, and we can go anywhere."

"The sea is really dangerous. The storm here is even more terrifying than the yellow sand that swept across the sky in Peking. Pass on my order and sail towards the sunset."
