At the moment when Cao Huachun hung up on the crooked neck tree, Zhu Xu's body trembled violently, opened his eyes suddenly, and sat up straight.
The fear in his eyes was hard to dispel, the corners of his face twitched unconsciously, cold sweat was dripping on his head, his whole body was cold, and his hands were shaking.
It took him a long time before he came to his senses, suppressed the horror in his heart, wiped his sweat, and looked up at the dark door.
The heavy rain is still pouring down, and the sound of bang bang is endless, which makes people feel depressed and even frightened.
Zhu Xu lifted the brocade quilt on his body, exhaled lightly, and said to himself with a little panic: "It turns out that I have always hidden such a fear in my heart......"
"Sneeze, sneeze, sneeze" Before he finished speaking, he sneezed a few times in a row, and his whole body was cold and shivering, only then did he realize that the clothes on his body were wet and cold to his heart and lungs.
"Your Majesty."
Feng Zhu led a few people to come in quickly, lit the lamp, and walked over.
Zhu Xu glanced at them, rubbed his itchy nose, and said, "Prepare hot water, and then prepare clean clothes, what time is it?"
” Feng Zhu responded and said, "Yes, it's almost time now." ” It was almost dawn, Zhu Xu nodded, stood up and moved his numb body.
After soaking in the hot water, Zhu Xu slowly relaxed, looked at the roof beams, and remembered that dream again.
His vision at that time was God, looking down from above, and he couldn't feel the mood of 'him' in his dream, but he knew very well that the endless helplessness and sadness of Emperor Chongzhen in history hanged Meishan.
Now, he can empathize, even evoking fears that he has not been aware of in his heart.
Soak in the tub for a long time, organize your thoughts, and sweep away the feeling of fear.
He changed into clean clothes and returned to the study.
At this time, Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin both came, and they were already standing inside waiting.
Zhu Xu smiled and said, "I'm fine, you all rest, there will be something tomorrow." ” The emperor doesn't rest, how can they rest, Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu's slightly pale side face through the light, and quietly ordered someone to arrange ginger soup, and then said to Zhu Xu: "Your Majesty, there is news from outside the palace that Elder Sun Ge has found a suitable flood outlet, and the water will recede tomorrow."
River.
The flood water that was diverted from the south side was also diverted to another river, and there was no flooding, so the emperor could rest assured. ” This is good news, Zhu Xu coughed lightly and smiled: "Well, you guys go, I have something to eat, and then go to sleep for a while." ” Cao Huachun heard Zhu Xu cough a little, thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, it's not okay if there is no palace maid in the palace, look, is it a slave to arrange it?"
” Zhu Xu was stunned, and immediately thought that the old lady was quietly choosing a concubine, and waved his hand and said, "No need, you all rest." ” Cao Huachun saw that the emperor had no intention of being a woman, and he didn't say much, he bowed slightly and was about to leave, Zhu Xu suddenly turned his head to look at him again, and said: "By the way, there will be many epidemics after the disaster, tomorrow you go to the Tai Hospital, find a few doctors and officials who are familiar with the plague, form an epidemic prevention yamen, hang under the Wenzhao Pavilion, recruit more civil talents, study countermeasures for various plagues, and prevent and control the epidemics in various places in a timely manner, strictly control, prevent the emergence of large-scale epidemics, and do not take it lightly......"
Cao Huachun hurriedly responded and said, "Obey." ” Zhu Xu waited for them to leave, then exhaled lightly, after a while, his head was a little sweaty, his body was weak for a while, his throat began to itch, his brows were furrowed, and he picked up the notebook on the table casually.
This is the transcript of the Ministry of Works, saying that the new warship will be launched in October, firearms can be installed and trained on November, and before the end of the year, it can be handed over to the Southern Naval Division.
Zhu Xu nodded slightly.
The sea is also a problem for him, and without a powerful warship, it is difficult to resist the increasingly powerful Dutch.
Without the support of maritime trade, the Ming Dynasty could only be a large coastal country, and the Age of Discovery would be completely missed.
"Your Majesty."
Feng Zhu took the ginger soup and quietly sent it to Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu looked up, smiled, and said, "Well, there is a heart, this ginger soup came at the right time."
You can go and rest too, and just leave two people to listen to it. ” Feng Zhu bowed slightly, quietly retreated, and did not dare to leave, standing outside the side door and waiting.
Zhu Xu flipped through a few more notebooks, his intuition was dizzy, and his eyes couldn't be opened.
He held on for a while, looked up at the white sky outside, stood up and said to the attendant not far away, "I will go in and sleep for a while, and wake me up in two hours." ” The inner supervisor hurriedly replied, "Yes." ” Zhu Xu went out of the side door, entered his bedroom, took off his clothes, and fell asleep.
Although it rained heavily, fortunately, the manpower and material resources at this time were simple to operate, Sun Chengzong temporarily commanded the six departments, mobilized the army, mobilized more than 100,000 manpower, and ordered all the provinces along the river to make every effort to dredge the river and drain the water.
The flood near the capital was temporarily contained, although it did not ease much, and finally did not continue to expand.
Outside the capital, Yunwu Mountain, Taoist Temple.
A group of wealthy people, with their families and nearly 100 people, gathered here, sheltering from the rain, while anxiously inquiring about each other's news.
"Shopkeeper Liu, I heard that more than 2,000 catties of your tea leaves have been blistered?"
A middle-aged man with a goatee looked at a fat man.
The fat dun couldn't cry, and said: "Not only that, the new policy of the imperial court, it is easy to do business, and I also hoarded three thousand taels of new silk cloth, which was also washed away by the flood!"
” A thin and tall old man shook his head and sighed lightly, "Shopkeeper Liu is okay, I took great pains to get the 'permission to practice medicine' from the governor of Liaodong, and I just bought a batch of precious mountain ginseng, and now I have thrown it all into the water." ” The corner of the goatee's eyes jumped at the corner of the goatee who spoke first, this old man is afraid that the loss will be tens of thousands of taels, and he is concerned, fortunately, what he is doing is a 'glass reservation', similar to the contractor, there is no backlog, otherwise it will be a big loss.
The shopkeeper of Fat Dun Liu glanced at the crowded crowd of people around him, as well as the group that had just been sent up by the official army, and said with some emotion in his eyes, "The imperial court is really different, if it was in previous years, I am afraid that we will be left to fend for ourselves." ” The old man was also deeply touched, and said: "The biggest change is in the north, and the prosperity and excitement almost catch up with the south of the Yangtze River."
The most important thing is that now not everything is under the control of the prefect and county yamen, and it is much more convenient to do things. ” He said 'convenient' refers to not everything to count on the yamen, painstaking gifts, please, the new establishment of all kinds of yamen have a strict system posted outside the door, if you encounter bribery, difficult, not only can go to the yamen to tell, you can also go to the three departments of the yamen to complain, and even go to the east factory to report anonymously, the gradual clarity of the officials, is a good thing for the world, especially these traders.
It's just that this has also cut off the benefits of countless people, the invisible privileges have been restricted and disappeared, and the dissatisfied crowd is constantly expanding.
This group of people is also the largest group in the Ming Dynasty at present: the official eunuch group.
It's just that these can't be seen by ordinary traders, and even if they see it, they don't care, what they care about is whether it is beneficial to the merchants.
The middle-aged man with a goatee also nodded, although there was almost no commercial tax in the past, there were a lot of disguised payments, but now with commercial taxes, he earns more.

Although the three of them have losses, they are not discouraged, this is a natural disaster, manpower is irresistible, as long as these few days pass, they still have the capital to start over.
The Taoist temple was crowded, and there was almost no way to move around, but fortunately, the officials of the Shuntian Mansion brought food and drink from time to time, but they couldn't go hungry.
Not far from the foot of the mountain, a group of masked people quietly gathered, staring at the Cloud Mountain with cold eyes flashing.
The masked man was a tall middle-aged man, and a person beside him whispered, "Brother Zhang, I have already checked, there are many rich people living on this mountain, and all the family wealth is here."
There are not many officials, and if you really want to get it, there are tens of thousands of taels of silver!
” The middle-aged man listened, turned his head to look at the young man on the left, and said, "Bingzhong, what do you think?"
” Zhang Bingzhong spent many days in the Royal Military Academy, learned a lot of military arts, and said: "Father, leave a few people from the foot of the mountain to the mountain, as soon as there is a movement with the sound of wolves, let's go up the mountain, kill him and leave a chicken and dog, and then all the things are transported down the mountain and hidden, and then we will be among the victims, leave the Beijing Division, and when this matter is over, we will come back to get it!"
At this time, the court is in chaos, and no one can take care of it, this silver is enough for us to be prosperous and rich for a lifetime!
” Zhang Bingzhong's father said that the others all looked at each other, they just wanted to rob the silver, and they didn't want to kill people until they had to, this Zhang Bingzhong actually wanted to kill them all!
Zhang Bingzhong's father sensed the uneasiness of his brothers, and hurriedly said in a deep voice, "Hugh is talking nonsense!
We are only for money, and we have no choice but to kill people!
” Only then did the group calm down and echo it.
Zhang Bingzhong listened, anger rose in his heart, what they did was to kill the head, robbery is to kill the head, killing is also killing the head, killing can erase the traces, why can't they be killed?
However, he also knew that he was a soft-spoken person, so he could only admit it.
Seeing that a team of officials who delivered food from Shuntianfu left, Zhang Bingzhong's father roared and said, "Go!"
” A group of more than 30 people in black quietly touched the mountain.
The sky was just white, the number of people was scarce, and they went straight to the Taoist temple.
When he saw the man in black, he was shocked, pulled out his knife, and shouted at the same time, "What a person, come quickly, there are thieves!"
” His roar shocked the entire Taoist temple.
When Zhang Bingzhong saw this, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he pounced on it, stabbing the official to death in three or two strokes, and at the same time shouted, "Kill the official first!"
” When his father saw this, he also waved his knife and shouted, "Rush!
” At this time, no one would retreat, and they swarmed in, and there were only a few officials, and they were all killed on the ground before long.
Zhang Bingzhong held a bloody knife and said angrily, "We only need silver, who dares to move, don't blame us for being ruthless under the knife!"
” The people here are either rich families or female dependents, all huddled together in fear, and few dared to resist.
When Zhang Bingzhong's father saw it, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Quick, do it!"
