Chapter 1353： Rende

It snowed heavily all day and night, and the height of the snow was over the knees. This snow seemed to have returned the snow of the whole winter, and it was difficult to open the door from indoors.

Not to mention the early cancellation of such a snowy day, it is impossible to go to the yamen on time.

Zhou Shuren was used to getting up early. When he got up, the people outside the door were cleaning the snow. He went out for a spin, and came back to see his daughter-in-law.

"Why did you get up so early today?"

Zhu Lan had already changed her clothes, "I woke up listening to the sound of snow shoveling. Is there a lot of snow outside?"

Zhou Shuren, "Well, the place I didn't clean up during the day yesterday was thicker than my knees."

Zhulan stood on tiptoe to see the snow through the glass window and the light of the lantern, "I don't know if it's just like the capital, or it's a large area."

Zhou Shuren washed his hands, "It should be a large area."

After the couple took a shower, the sky was still dark. When breakfast was served, the sky became brighter. Looking at the sky carefully, it was found that it was still covered with dark clouds, and it seemed that there was still heavy snow.

Boss Zhou came to the main courtyard after breakfast. Boss Zhou was responsible for clearing the snow for the entire house and for a section of the road at the gate of the mansion. Since the road was built in the capital, the road at the gate of the mansion has been managed by each family. Efficiency of clearing snow in winter.

Except for some important yamen who need to go to the yamen today, other departments are closed today.

Chang Yi said, "Father, I will take you to the Ministry of Household in a while."

Zhou Shuren waved his hand, "No need."

The guards in the palace just said that he was going to enter the palace in a while, and his guess was right, the heavy snow was a large area.

Changzhi held the stove in his arms, "I'm worried that it won't snow in winter, but now it's going to be a disaster. What a **** of a weather."

Zhou Shuren was silent. His memory was good. During the Little Ice Age in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were frequent natural disasters, abnormal climates in the north and south, and the temperature dropped significantly. Unfortunately, he didn't know about the Little Ice River.

"Dad, Daddy."

Zhou Shuren recovered, "What did you just say, I lost my mind."

Changzhi said: "I said you should wear more shoes and clothes, it's too windy outside."

Zhou Shuren smiled and nodded, "Yes."

It doesn't matter if he doesn't remember, it's just right to vigorously support agriculture and produce more food.

It was not too early for Zhou Shuren to enter the palace, and someone had already arrived.

The emperor noticed the snow on Zhou Shuren's cloak, "It's snowing again."

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Well, it's not small."

The emperor, "It seems that the snow disaster is the reason why you can't close the wheat. There is no problem in the capital now. The main reason is that the disaster relief in the nearby states covered by heavy snow must be in place."

Fortunately, after the road was repaired, it was much easier to clear the snow, and it was also convenient to transport materials.

The emperor ordered one by one. Zhou Shuren was responsible for the money. The past two years have been smooth. There is no war in the granary. The grain is relatively abundant, and the state granary is sufficient for disaster relief.

In the past, some people dared to think about the grain in the granary, such as filling the good with the bad, adding sand and gravel to the grain, or directly using the grain that could not be stored into the warehouse.

Before the Emperor Taishang abdicated, Zhou Shuren vaguely mentioned to the Emperor Taishang that the granary is the bottom line, and whoever touches will die, this scale cannot be opened.

The Emperor Taishang at that time listened to it, and he attacked after the layout did not occur at first. He killed several chickens, and finally made everyone realize that the food should not be touched.

At that time, the Emperor Taishang also changed the law for this, and the three clans would not tolerate it.

Because of a series of actions, the result is that the granary is rich, and the court has the confidence in the disaster.

The snowstorm outside was not small, the ministers led the order to leave the palace, and Zhou Shuren was left behind by the emperor.

The emperor said: "I want the prince to visit the disaster area, Zhou Aiqing, I hope you will lead the team."

Much of the disaster relief was proposed by Zhou Shuren. Now the court can gradually improve the disaster relief system, and Zhou Shuren has contributed greatly.

Zhou Shuren had other ideas from his father's intuition, but he didn't mention it.

So he hoped that Zhou Shuren would take the prince to see around, let the prince understand the seriousness of the disaster, and also hope that Zhou Shuren could teach the prince more.

Zhou Shuren's beard twitched, the Ministry of Household took out the money, and some officials of the Ministry of Household just stared at him. Instead, he was idle, and he wanted to rest at home for a few more days, but the emperor did not let him rest.

The emperor continued: "The prince is different from me. When I was a child, the country was just established, and my father and the emperor were always tense. The prince was happier than me, so he was not as mature as I was when I was a child. The country does not need an ambitious prince, the country needs an emperor who can govern the country well, so teach him more, let him put the people in his heart, let him grow up and be able to shoulder the burden of the country."

Zhou Shuren's heart is moved, whether it is the supreme emperor or the ambitious emperor, the two generations are undeniably good emperors to the people, "Yes."

The smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth widened, why did he hold Zhou Shuren, because both the father and the emperor knew that Zhou Shuren had a lot of ideas in his head. Zhou Shuren's ability may not be the top, but no one can surpass Zhou Shuren in ideas.

When Zhou Shuren left the palace, the wind and snow were already heavy, and there were people holding umbrellas beside him. When he left the palace, the streets had been cleared for carriages.

Zhou Shuren first went back to the Ministry of Housing to arrange things, and then called Qiu Yan and Lord Liu to watch the Ministry of Housing together. He will be out of Beijing for a few days this time.

In the afternoon, Zhulan was surprised, "Why did you suddenly come back?"

Zhou Shuren took off his hat, and the snow left on the hat fell into his neck and shrank coldly, "I will leave the capital with the prince tomorrow, and I will be here for at least ten days. Help me pack up."

Zhulan frowned, "Prince leaving the capital?"

"Well, the emperor asked me to study with the prince."

Zhulan's brows still didn't loosen, "It's too bad to go out in such a cold weather."

"The emperor is willing to let the prince suffer."

Zhulan said nothing, "I'll bring you some more clothes, you have to take care of yourself when you go out."

She understood the emperor's intentions, but she just felt sorry for her husband.

Zhou Shuren smiled, "If the crown prince succeeds, there will be a benevolent emperor who will be good for the country, the people, and our family."

Zhulan sighed, "I'll go pack your luggage right now."

"Ok."

When Changzhong heard that his father was back, he ran back from the study in the front yard, "Father, you came back very early today."

"Does your kid study hard at home?"

Chang Zhong did play some clever tricks because of his cleverness, but after he and Ming Rui lived for a while, his attitude towards reading became extraordinarily serious. "My son is serious."

Zhou Shuren took his son's hand and was able to feel the calluses on his fingertips, which was left by practicing calligraphy since childhood. He felt that in modern times, he would never have asked his son like this.

But in ancient times, Changzhi was his youngest son, and he had a halo since he was a child. To enjoy the top resources brought by him, he had to put in a lot of ability to learn, "Is it tired or not."

Chang Zhong shook his head, "Not tired."

Zhou Shuren stroked his son's hair, "I agree with what you told me."
