Chapter five hundred and eighteen

In September of the 18th year of the Tianqi revelation, Zhu Youxiao and his party began to leave Wuzhou territory one after another. Originally, Zhu Youxiao only planned to let the Sili Supervisor Yin Wang Chengen accompany Ningpin Luoruo to Yangjia Village to visit relatives, but Zhu Youxiao also wanted to see the living conditions of the most isolated indigenous residents in the deep mountains, so he finally decided to accompany Ningpin Luoruo to Yangjia Village in person.

Ningpin Luo Ruo was very happy. She never expected that she would be sold to a garrison eunuch because of her family's poverty and became a servant. She was then taken into the palace by the eunuch and became a palace maid. Now she became the emperor's concubine and was treated as the emperor's wife. She was accompanied by His Majesty to return home to visit relatives. This made her feel like she was so happy that the clouds could clear and the moon was bright.

So much so that Ningpin Luo Ruo worked harder in serving Zhu Youxiao. Zhu Youxia's tiger and wolf body was nourished by her tenderness and tenderness, almost forgot what year and month it was today.

The bamboo raft made of green bamboo floats on the green water like a leaf falling from the treetops. The beautiful landscape formed by the unique karst landforms in Guangxi makes Zhu Youxiao standing on the bamboo raft look like in a picture scroll.

She wore a pair of heavenly fragrance-colored pair of clothes, a pink pleated skirt with flowers on her back, and a band of concubines, and a golden hairpin in her temples, standing respectfully on Zhu Youxiao's right shoulder.

Ning Bin Luo Ruo's face was filled with a smile, but she didn't make any giggles. Once upon a time, this area was a paradise where she played when she was young, and she could sing loudly if she had a disagreement. But now she has returned here and she seems to have forgotten how to sing.

Liu Rushi sat like a bamboo raft, watching Ningpin Luoruo and Zhu Youxiao standing in the setting sun, but couldn't help but pout. After a while, he put his white wrists on the sunny snow into the green stream. The water was a little cool, as if countless fish were pecking at her wrists. Liu Rushi couldn't help but slowly slashing, rippling layers of ripples.

Time seemed very quiet at this moment, and Li Mingrui, the scheming cabinet minister, also raised his head slightly at this moment, looking at the blue sky, as if it weren't for the current emperor Zhu Youxiao here, he would have recited a few poems to come out like this scene.

"There is no court struggle at this moment, and there is no trouble in the world. What is the ritual supervisor, the cabinet, the inner and outer courts seem to have nothing to do with me. The feeling of being far away from the world is indeed different from the feeling of being in the temple."

However, Wang Chengen, the chief of the Sili Supervisor, said a word of emotion. He and Li Mingrui were walking on another bamboo raft together, so Zhu Youxiao couldn't hear it. However, Li Mingrui couldn't help laughing when he heard it: "Eunuch Wang thinks this way, and Your Majesty also thinks this way, but you and I are not idle people, and you are not. If you stay for a few days, you will find that your life will only be a tired life. The life under the eastern fence of picking chrysanthemums is not enjoyed by people like you and me, even if you don't, the same is true for you and me. Although you are on patrol, you probably cannot do without the affairs of the court."

Zhu Youxiao did glance at Li Mingrui and Wang Chengen at this time. Seeing the two of them having a happy conversation, the first thing he realized was not that he envied these two old guys for being able to speak so freely and happily, but whether these two powerful ministers in the court were jointly plotting against him, His Majesty, and his suspicion was too serious, which was also a typical occupational disease of the emperor, and Zhu Youxiao could not change it.

...

While Zhu Youxiao and others were enjoying the rare quiet state after leaving Beijing, Sienzhou was already busy.

Guangxi Governor Fang Zhenru also felt that Sienzhou was now, and he had already received Li Mingrui's order and had to strengthen military defense work in this area again after learning that His Majesty is also going to enter the Yangjia Pass in the mountains.

All the roads in Sienzhou area were re-cleared, and all the houses and residences were re-decorated. Even except Ningpin Luoruo's family, all the officials, gentry and people in Sienzhou were asked to wear the best clothes to go out to wait. In order to prepare for the long live together during the welcome, the Tugong Cen Jie, who was responsible for the specific tasks, had already brought the people of the whole province to rehearse several times.

Because it is already autumn, it is okay if it is at the foot of the mountain, but at the pass, the scenery seems quite desolate and desolate. In order not to let His Majesty Zhu Youxiao and Ningpin Lai Ruo feel bad when they see this declining scene, the left governor Yang Honggui personally summoned people to use paint to dye most of the withered leaves on both sides of the road.

When Zhu Youxiao and others were about to enter Huayangtan near Sienzhou Prefecture City, Guangxi Governor Fang Zhenru, Guangxi left governor Yang Honggui, Sienzhou Governor Cen Jie and other officials from all over Guangxi, including Wu Weiye, including Wu Weiye, all gathered on the horse's head. Behind them were all villagers wearing simple but not sloppy straight-fitting long clothes, and each was full of energy.

When Zhu Youxiao raised his monocular lens and saw that the villagers were dressed in such a manner from afar, he felt very good. After all, this phenomenon can intuitively show that his changes to the Ming Dynasty were effective, and it did benefit people from all walks of life in the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, the people in this kind of valley would not be dressed better than the wealthy people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang that Zhu Youxiao saw when he went to Jiangnan a few years ago.

Although these local officials in Guangxi were geographically isolated from Zhu Youxiao for thousands of miles before, they did not prevent them from knowing the current His Majesty’s preferences and temper. Men Qing focused on decorating ordinary mountain people rather than on the decoration of beauties and beautiful ladies, which happened to be the pulse of Zhu Youxiao for today’s His Majesty.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao would naturally guess that these local officials in Guangxi were likely to deliberately improve the living conditions of these mountain people to please him, and he had reached the point where he felt that the Ming Dynasty was already very prosperous, and that the local officials in Guangxi were well-managed and honest. Otherwise, they would not have allowed these old men to live so peacefully and ordinary people to live so richly.

However, despite this, in Zhu Youxiao's view, it can still prove that these local officials have extra money. As long as the administration is clear and the finances are not tight, it will be beneficial to the people.

Therefore, although Zhu Youxiao knew that they were also whitewashing the peace to make themselves happy, Zhu Youxiao was also sure that only after the political and economic environment was greatly improved, these officials would have the heart to do this. Otherwise, they would only worry about how to avoid the plunder of bandits and how to make more money when the country was overturned, regardless of whether his political achievements were not, whether his superiors and the emperor were happy or unhappy.
