Sitting in the car and walking out of the car is another different feeling.

Feel the shock of the praise of the people.

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath.

He slowly paced to the six old men.

The six old men bowed down and bowed.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled.

He hurriedly helped Zheng Qing, the old man who was in charge, up: "Old man, don't you have to be too polite. If you are old, wouldn't you tell me to make things difficult for you?"

At this time, Zhu Houzhao, Fang Jifan and all officials surrounded him.

Everyone looked at Zheng Qing, their moods became more complicated.

Zheng Qing coughed, and then said stubbornly: "What you want, what you want, what you should bow when you see the emperor, how you should bow when you see the emperor, and how you should bow to the people. Bathing in the emperor's grace, I am lucky to come here to welcome you today. If you can't give a full tribute, wouldn't you go back with regret?"

As he said that, he broke free from Emperor Hongzhi and led the other five old men to bow down, kowtow three times, get up, bow three times, bow three times, bow three times, bow three times, bow three times, bow three times.

After the big gift, he trembled slightly and almost staggered. Emperor Hongzhi was sweating for him and supported him. Looking at the old man, Emperor Hongzhi was a little excited and pursed his lips before saying, "How old is he?"

Zheng Qing said proudly: "Caomin was born in the ninth year of Xuande, and it is already nine out of seventy."

Emperor Hongzhi and all the officials were amazed. Zheng Qing looked like he was not well-off in living conditions, and it was really rare to have such a long life.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Nine out of seventy, this is a very blessed person. If he is a few years older, he will almost see Emperor Taizu Gao."

Zheng Qing said: "Yes, the greatest blessing is that he bumped into Your Majesty. Your Majesty governed the world and was safe in the world. People and others were benefited from Your Majesty's blessing."

Damn...

Fang Jifan's body was shocked.

What he fears most is that something goes wrong in this link.

He told all the old men, Professor Wang Jinyuan, to not say the wrong things.

Who would have expected that these people were actually human spirits?

After careful consideration, it turns out that people who can live to be nearly 80 years old have never seen any world, but aren’t they so smart?

Look at the skill of others who are flattering and playing, there is a bit of ritual. Life really requires a little ritual.

Emperor Hongzhi felt very happy when he heard this.

Xiao Jing and Fang Jifan said the same thing, but the feelings he gave him were different. Then, the old man in front of him said this, but the feelings he gave Emperor Hongzhi were different.

But the real value of ordinary people comes from the voices of the common people.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at the Hanlin who was accompanying him. The Hanlin had already taken out a bamboo board and a pen, recording this historic moment.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Old man, you must not say this. I have been at the top for decades. I am ashamed to say that I have been indifferent and inappropriate in the governance. I have all depended on it..." He turned around. At this time, it was the peak of his life. This bull can brag for a thousand years. He glanced at Liu Jianren behind him and waited: "Thanks to Liu Qing and others who share my worries, I have given some kind of kindness to the people just now. Old man, it's an exaggeration."

Liu Jian's face turned rosy in an instant.

His waist was straight.

Zheng Qing shook his head: "Your Majesty, don't be humble...oh..."

As he said that, his turbid eyes were faintly wet.

Fang Jifan, who was standing by, just thought Zheng Qing was an old man, but now he suddenly felt that this seemed... a bit different from acting?

Zheng Qing suddenly choked up, grabbed the hand that supported him, and sobbed, "Your Majesty, Caomin, etc., have you never seen any hard days? In the tenth year of Xuande, there was a severe drought. Caomin's mother died. In the seventh year of Zhengtong, it was another severe drought. Caomin followed the villagers to escape famine. He had been hungry for seven days and fed with turf and white flour soil. He barely got over..."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "There is still white-faced soil in the world?"

Fang Jifan reminded behind him: "Your Majesty, white flour soil is also called Guanyin soil. This soil is actually unbearable. It is just that people are extremely hungry, but they can eat it. They fill their stomachs. People regard it as white flour, so they call it white flour soil. Because of the disaster year, people can survive the disaster. It is like Guanyin who saves suffering, also known as Guanyin soil."

Emperor Hongzhi's scalp was numb.

People actually feed on earth.

Zheng Qing's tears fell, looking back on his life, feeling a lot of emotion, sobbing for a while, and continued to grab the hand of Emperor Hongzhi: "After that, in the Tumu Fort, the government recruited Caomin garrison, and for three years in the desert, barely survived... After the seventeenth year of Chenghua, this life was really impossible. For some reason, the weather changed drastically. There were famines every year, and they had to escape famine every year, and they had to eat them every year, and they were full and hungry. Caomin was not afraid of his majesty's joke. Caomin could survive because of his son's filial piety, and he had no food. He had no food for his family and his wife and children. He also ate the grass people first."

Speaking of this, Zheng Qing's eyes were red and swollen when she cried.

The other old men couldn't help crying.

Zheng Qing said: "This year's disaster lasted even more than in previous years. I thought I could not afford to wait this year. My family could not prepare longevity materials. The grass people asked their children and grandchildren to prepare a straw mat early and wait for death. But who expected that the government suddenly came, and there was also the Shusheng Jiang from this group. They brought food and gathered everyone, saying that they would take us to escape from the famine. Not only that, they also rented cars and horses, young walking, old, weak, women and children, and they sat in the car, and sent us all the way to the capital."

"They all said that this was His Majesty's money used in the treasury to help us. His Majesty was kind and treated the people as innocent. He would never let us suffer from disasters and starves. They sent us to Beijing and found a place for us to live, and also sent bedding. Caomin's great-grandson was sick and they were cured. At present, the victims had no food. They distributed food and sent it to the canteen, so that we could overcome the current difficulties first. The child was young, and Shusheng Jiang took the child to study. The family was six young and strong. They found a job for us so that Caomin's children and grandchildren could make a living by their ability."

Zheng Qing held Emperor Hongzhi's hand tightly.

Perhaps it was because he was so excited that Emperor Hongzhi's wrist hurt.

But Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were filled with shock.

He knew very well that spending money was one thing, and how to spend money, and how to get these people who were being helped to get real relief, is another matter.

Obviously, these silver has been truly spent.

Zheng Qing burst into tears again: "Your Majesty, it's not just that. We live here. We were from a foreigner. We were not safe in the morning and rely on the court for relief. Later... in the past few months, Your Majesty actually sent the prince and the Duke of Qi to visit many times. Your Majesty, you are a great kindness, the prince and the Duke of Qi, what a noble identity, but they were allowed to go to such a dirty place as ours. I heard that... the prince was also cured and saved people."

Zheng Qing was so moved.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan meaningfully.

Zheng Qing took a deep breath: "Since the prince and Duke of Qi came, the treatment of the victims of the disaster were even more different. As soon as they left, the head of the Ministry of Revenue came to visit. There were also the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, the governor of Xincheng Military and Ma Si, and many other officials who could not be famous. When they saw that some sheds could not shelter from the wind and rain, they personally brought officials to repair them. When they saw that the people had vegetables, they thought of ways to carry a few sips of sheep and eggs... Especially the officials of Shuntian Prefecture were the most attentive and caring for their well-being, and never stopped. After that, some merchants came and would donate to pay a gift.

Some food and cloth... Your Majesty... The Caomin has been through several dynasties in his life, and has never seen such a disaster victim. The Caomin has been hungry for half his life, and under the care of His Majesty, he has just lived such a good life. All the people here have received the favors of His Majesty. The Caomin... are already 79, and they are considered to have lived to be over. However, the Caomin's children and grandchildren are fortunate to be able to receive such kindness from His Majesty. Their life will be better than when Caomin was there. The Caomin... For the sake of this family, the hundreds of millions of disaster victims, I thank Your Majesty here..."

After saying that, Zheng Qing broke away from Emperor Hongzhi's hand and continued to bow down, crying in vain and burst into tears.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but take out a handkerchief to wipe his tears.

These words made him feel ashamed.

He only knew that the prince spent a lot of money, but now he realized that these money had turned into countless favors and fell on countless people like Zheng Qing.

This silver...is worth it.

Even if the market value has not increased, it is worth it.

Those who are the emperor are rich in the world, but what they lack the most is the hearts of the people.

As long as people's hearts are in place, the inner treasury is empty, so what?

And all the gratitude of these victims fell on themselves.

This made Emperor Hongzhi particularly ashamed.

The prince loved the people as much as his son, rescued disasters in a timely manner, handled things well, and acted steadily. Zheng Qing praised it as the court and himself, but the real praise was the prince, and that guy Fang Jifan.

Emperor Hongzhi helped Zheng Qing up: "Okay, old man, you don't have to thank you anymore. I am here, and I dare to assure you that in the future, you, your family, and the thousands of disaster victims, will have better and better life, so don't worry."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zheng Qing said, "Caominren, etc., have prepared some gifts to offer to Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "No, no, no, I have given birth to a good son, and I know that there is also a capable son-in-law. This is a great gift. Old man, you are old, and you will be better off and don't work hard anymore. Come and send these old men home, don't let them be tired or frightened."

He squatted for a while, and after a moment of silence, Emperor Hongzhi said, "Just use my royal car to send it away, that car... is safe."

"I dare not, I dare not, but I dare not." Zheng Qing shook his head desperately.
