Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows: "Oh, our eldest grandson..."

He hesitated to speak, and before he could finish his words, there was a hint of embarrassment on his face. He was helpless because he had accidentally caused his own death.

"Then let's wait." He listened to the dripping sound of snow outside the house, with a look of relief on his face. It was fortunate that so much time had passed since the incident, and he was quite happy as Huang Shiliu, so he was not so entangled.

Lu Wei also seemed to have noticed Zhu Yuanzhang's subtle change in mood, and immediately struck while the iron was hot, saying: "You are a blessed person. Your Majesty will take care of everything you need to worry about. This kind of destiny cannot be prayed for by others, so just rest assured."

Lu Wei said this.

Zhu Yuanzhang's slight unhappiness disappeared, and he laughed out loud: "Hahahaha! I am blessed, hahaha!"

Even the remaining snow outside the door seemed very bright and eye-catching.

When the laughter fades.

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice became somewhat melancholic: "I never thought of such a blessing..." Thinking back to the scene two months ago, he suddenly felt as if he was in another world.

At that time, his banner was gone, and the Ming dynasty's successor was gone. Even though he was the mighty Hongwu Emperor, he sometimes felt as if the sky was about to fall, and even the sun seemed gloomy.

Blessing? He lost his parents and brothers when he was young. Even after becoming emperor, he couldn’t keep his eldest grandson, his sister, and finally, even his daughter.

Busy all my life.

It seems like I have everything, but it also seems like I have nothing.

He was left with the heavy burden of the Ming Dynasty on his shoulders, but he was old and could not find anyone to help him carry it.

I originally thought that I would live out my life in loneliness and depression, but I never expected that the sky would seem to be bright again.

Lu Wei had been with Zhu Yuanzhang for so long that he probably understood the source of his melancholy. He immediately consoled him, "Well, you're right! Who in the world could be more blessed than you? Lying on the couch, eating sunflower seeds and drinking tea, lighting a small fire, and having a dancer dance with you when you're happy? And His Majesty is there to help you watch over the Ming Dynasty. How beautiful!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts were also pulled back by his voice, and he laughed: "It seems to be the case, hehe."

But soon, his worry came back: "However, looking at the Ming Dynasty, it sounds simple, but in reality, it is extremely difficult to implement it with all the tricks involved."

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, then said with some concern, "For example, although our eldest grandson did a great job this time, he produced so much fabric that he must have used up all the available plants and vines in Yingtian Prefecture."

"Originally, we thought the Industrial Department was using some 'tricky tricks', and that if they used some of it, the people would probably complain. But with such a large amount of fabric, even though we don't know how they produced it, the required amount of raw materials is there, and there's no getting around it."

"People in other parts of the Ming Dynasty are having a good winter, but it's hard to say what will happen in Yingtian Prefecture."

“People worry not about scarcity but about inequality.”

"We've taken away all the plants and trees that the people of Yingtian Prefecture use to keep warm during the winter. While that's a good thing, they'll think—why? Others are enjoying a comfortable winter, but we can't?"

"If this matter is not handled properly, there is a possibility of chaos."

After all, he has been emperor for so many years.

Although he was happy, his perspective on things was always more comprehensive than others: "There are so many things that are difficult to do just to sit properly on that chair in Fengtian Hall."

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's alternating look of worry and joy, Lu Wei said helplessly, "I just said you were blessed, why are you worrying again?"
