Xiongxian County is not small. It was a prefecture and county before. Later, the Ming Dynasty became a county, and Zhu Cixuan and his group entered the county. Although there were not many people accompanying them, they still looked eye-catching.

In particular, they offended the yamen runners here. I wonder if these yamen runners have been waiting for them, but this trip seems like they are bravely rushing into the den of a dragon's pond.

In fact, even though Emperor Chongzhen had already understood the real life of the people of the Ming Dynasty, how could the word "miserable" be so good, this is still the situation after the popularization of new crops.

What happened before, what did the people eat, wild vegetables, grass roots and bark? Are these things for people to eat?

When outside the city, Emperor Chongzhen saw an old man using a saw, saw wood, carefully collecting the sawdust, and then sieve it through the sieve in a fine sieve.

Emperor Chongzhen was puzzled and stepped forward to ask the clues: "Old man, why do you have to go through the sieve for collecting these sawdust?"

The old man's words made Emperor Chongzhen frightened: "My daughter-in-law just gave birth to a baby and was weak and wanted to eat steamed buns. I didn't go shopping for two kilograms of white flour. This white flour is not affordable for us. This elm seed tree was sawed with a sawdust, and the sawdust was sieve twice, mixed in the white flour, and can I eat more meals."

White flour buns have become luxury goods in the mouths of the people. In the restaurants in the capital, the delicacies of wealthy businessmen, great officials and nobles, and the abalone, who eat bear paws, bird's nests, shark fins, abalone, are probably not heard by these ordinary people in their lifetime.

"This, can this white flour mixed with sawdust still be eaten?" Chongzhen asked.

The old man sighed helplessly: "Oh, what's the way to do this? This is just a little white flour. If you eat it smoothly, you're afraid that it's hard to get milk when you eat it. Add some sawdust, and this person doesn't have to be so delicate. But only wealthy people can afford it. My daughter-in-law also tasted this taste when she was a child. It was said that white flour bread was the best thing in the world."

This is not an exaggeration. White flour buns are rare in this era, but they are not exaggerated to the point where the people cannot afford to eat them.

But it was really possible during the Chongzhen period. Not to mention Chongzhen, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued since the Tianqi period. The only foods that the people eat are grains and grains, and white flour is indeed not something that ordinary people can afford.

Some people were born in war and natural disasters. They had never eaten since childhood. How many people could really eat enough?

What the old man said is that the daughter-in-law has never eaten white flour buns, which is normal in this era. Now life is finally getting better, and I can barely have enough food and clothing. The white flour bun has become the biggest luxury for this pregnant woman who has just given birth to a child.

The elderly have experienced a lot and know that they should not eat too much of this kind of good thing. Once the daughter-in-law eats it a few times and gets used to it, she will easily lose her milk after eating some simple food.

When a child is born, he needs milk to replenish. In addition, there are white flour buns mixed with sawdust, so you can eat more meals.

Just to eat a few more meals, sawdust was mixed in the white flour. Emperor Chongzhen couldn't bear to look at it. He never dared to think of such things.

Compared with the rich and elegant food in the palace, a meal of more than a dozen dishes of big fish and meat, Emperor Chongzhen already felt that he was very frugal. After all, as an emperor, it is common for dozens or even hundreds of dishes to eat in imperial dishes.

For example, when Empress Dowager Cixi was poor and weak in the Qing Dynasty and was controlled by foreigners everywhere, this old woman was extravagant and even used the military expenses of the Beiyang Navy to celebrate her birthday. She ate 108 dishes in a meal and ate others' wages for half a year in a day.

Cixi had a habit when eating. The tableware she used must be the best, either gold or ivory, and special poison test needles. When Cixi was eating, there should be people who specially pick up food for her. Not everyone could be the one who could watch Cixi's reaction at all times. If she ate two more bites of a dish, she would quickly bring the dish to her. People would know what she meant with a look.

Life is very extravagant and wasteful, and all food, clothing, housing and transportation are at the peak. She has to eat more than 100 dishes for a meal. Each dish is made of delicacies made of good ingredients, but she eats at most two or three bites of each dish, and most of it has never touched.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen has been reducing the expenses in the palace, and even felt that he was very frugal with more than a dozen dishes at a meal. However, compared to these ordinary people, he was simply in heaven.

The people in Xiong County lived a stable life, so everyone found an inn to rest. Luo Yangxing arranged the room early, and Chongzhen and his group stayed there and it was considered the largest inn in Xiong County.

Emperor Chongzhen also expressed his satisfaction moderately. At least, this inn can barely rest. It is not like those dilapidated large shops. It is not like the dilapidated roadside shops. In Xiongxian County, this best wing room is barely accessible.

Meng Fan Chaochao, who had been walking in the world for a long time, was very worried. He came to Zhu Cixuan and said carefully: "Young Master, we offended the yamen runners here along the way. The master moved in here with such a big fanfare, which is probably to attract the attention of the yamen runners. When these yamen runners come to cause trouble, we are afraid that there will be trouble."

Zhu Cilang smiled and refused to answer, and did not take this matter seriously.

A strong dragon does not suppress the local snake. Even if you are the Supreme Emperor of Nine Five, you should act in a low-key manner when you visit in private. If you do this, isn’t this hitting the gun?

Meng Fanchao once beat the yamen runners here, and Zhu Cilan reported his name and said that we were going to Xiongxian. How could the yamen runners swallow this?

They were afraid that they had already made preparations, so they waited for Zhu Cixuan and his group to come to Xiongxian. Then, they were in trouble.

Xiongxian County Magistrate Changshen and Lu Wang Zhu Changyu were brother-in-laws, that is to say, Xiongxian County Magistrate Changshen’s wife and Lu Wang Zhu Changyu’s princess were sisters.

It is no wonder why the yamen runners here are so arrogant. This is also why the water in Xiongxian is very deep.

Who is Zhu Changqing? Zhu Zai's grandson of Emperor Muzong of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yijun, nephew of Emperor Shenzong of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yijun, the third son of Prince Zhu Yili, and his mother Yang Cifei. In the 46th year of Wanli, he was found in the title of King Lu. After the Jiashen Incident, Emperor Hongguang Zhu Yousong was captured by the Qing army and claimed to be the governor of the country. Later, he surrendered to the Qing army and was beheaded in Yanjing.

At that time, Liu Fangliang, the subordinate of the treacherous thief, captured Huaiqing's mansion and entered Weihui, Henan Province, and the Luwang Mansion was in danger. Zhu Changqing was very smart and decided to abandon the city and flee on February 19th. He fled to Wuxi first, Nanjing then Hangzhou.
